Chapter Two: What's Wrong With Being Loony?

Once they arrived at the castle, they were taken from the boat lady by Professor McGonagall, the same one who came to their house a few days ago. She explained to them about the Hogwarts Houses. Gil didn't bother listening since Luna already told him about the Houses and the sorting process. Soon they were brought to the Great Hall, where he saw the Sorting Hat sitting in a stool. One song later, McGonagall brings out a parchment, calling the names of the first years. Eventually, she called out his name.

"Aratashir, Malik."

He took a seat and the hat was put on top of his head. Immediately, it started speaking to him.

"Interesting of you to go to Hogwarts, King of Heroes. Let's see... You do have courage, and you are ambitious and hardworking. In another life, you would've overworked yourself to death. But what's this? You hate what you become later in life? Then let's avoid anything that will stir you in that direction shall we? Yes! I think it's best if you were put in the house where you would've been sorted near the end of your life. RAVENCLAW!"

The students from said house all stood up to cheer for him. Gil walked towards the table and joined his sister, who was also clapping.

"We're in the same house, Luna Onee-chan!" said Gilgamesh excitedly.

"That's nice. I suppose now I will have someone to talk to."

The smile from the King's face vanished, confused as to what Luna just said. "What do you mean you–?" His question was interrupted by Dumbledore rising from his seat and greeting them all. Then it was time to eat!

Gilgamesh helped himself with all the food that he could get, while Luna mainly ate pudding. After the meal, Dumbledore introduced the new Care of Magical Creatures Professor (the lady from the boat) and the DADA Professor. Then the DADA professor gave a long and boring speech about something something. After a few more announcements from Dumbledore, They went to their dorms. The Ravenclaw prefects showed the first years where to go. They led them to the Ravenclaw Common Room in one of the castle towers. After showing how to enter the Common Room, Gilgamesh was led to the boy's dormitory.

Unfortunately, he wasn't able to catch Luna and talk to her about what she said earlier. Not that he needed to. He noticed that she didn't talk to anyone back in the Great Hall. At first he assumed she was just really quiet, but now he's considering that maybe she doesn't have any friends. He even fears that the other students might be mean to her. Well if that's the case, then it sucks for them because he likes Luna, and when the King of Heroes finds someone that he likes, he will protect them with all his life.

Harry is having a hard time sleeping. He's still seething with rage from his argument with Seamus. Damn him and his mother! He can only hope that if Voldemort finally shows himself, they would be one of the first casualties...

No! As angry as Harry is, he knows the Finnigans don't deserve that. Ultimately, they're just blinded by the Prophet whose headquarters should really be burned down! If the Death Eaters don't do it, then he'll just have to learn Fiendfyre himself…

Harry didn't have time to reflect on what he just thought, when he finally succumbed to tiredness and he found himself at a familiar place. He's back at the cupboard under the stairs of 4 Privet Drive. But he's not alone.

"So this is where you lived in for 10 years"

Sitting beside Harry in his bed is a tanned man with black hair. He wears nothing but a red bandana and waistcloth. "Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm you. Or rather, I'm all the anger building up in you."

"What's happening to me?" Harry asked. "Why is this happening to me?"

The other man chuckles. "Because your life sucks."

He continued, "The Ministry doesn't trust you. They're painting you as the bad guy, and now everyone is scared of you. And instead of giving you moral support as he should have, Dumbledore has abandoned you."

"No," said Harry. "He's just a busy man is all. And besides, it's not like I told him anything yet. Once I tell him what's going on, he'll probably help me."

"Then go to him, and see if he'll try and help you. Oh right. You can't even approach him without him looking the other way."

Harry opened his mouth to retort, but he didn't say anything.

You're all alone now Harry. You know that right?"

"That's not true!" Harry snapped. "I still have Ron and Hermione. And if Neville is to be believed, there's lots of people who still believe in me."

"Perhaps. But eventually, they'll all turn on you. Then, the only one you will be left with is me."

The first week of school was fun. At first, Gil was afraid that his hopes were too high and Hogwarts will turn out to be just another boring school. But not only were the lessons besides DADA surprisingly fun, Harry Potter turned out to be a very interesting person. In the first day of school, the Boy who Lived apparently argued with Umbridge about the Dark Lord's return, earning himself a week of detention. Most people seem to have the same idea: 'he's crazy', 'He's just looking for attention'. Luna, among a few others, such as Longbottom, the Creeveys, and obviously, his best friends, believed him though, and by this point, so does Gil. If he really wanted attention, he wouldn't have made it so that it would ruin his reputation. Harry definitely believes what he's saying. Is it possible that he's crazy? Sure, but where's the fun in that?

In one fortunate evening, he happened to chance upon Harry Potter coming back from his detention. He decided to talk to him.

"Hi Harry," Greeted Gilgamesh.

"Malik," Harry nodded.

"Just call me Archer." Gilgamesh noticed that Harry seems to be massaging his left hand.

"Are you alright?" Gilgamesh asked, his smile unwavering.

"Splendid," said Harry, but Gilgamesh noticed the hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"So, what did Umbridge make you do?"

Harry paused for a moment. "Lines."

"That's good." Gilgamesh can tell that he's lying. Well, not really, but he know's what's really going on in Harry's detentions is more than just simple lines. That's the beauty of Sha Naqba Imuru. Once activated, he'll know if you are lying to him.

"Say, from what I heard, you got detention for talking about Voldemort right?"

"Yeah!" Harry snarled. "Feel free to call me crazy if you like!" Gilgamesh can once again feel that high energy from Harry.

"I would never!", said Gilgamesh innocently. "Don't worry. My family believes in you."

"Well that's reassuring," Harry said, the sarcasm clearer than the last time.

"You're not calling my sister crazy, are you?" Asked Gilgamesh. He's still smiling, but the tone of his voice says that he's anything but happy.

"O-Of course not," Harry assured him, his anger replaced by embarrassment.

"Good. Do you know what they call her behind her back?"

"Loony Lovegood," Harry admitted.

"That's right! And she knows people call her that, but she doesn't really care. I, on the other hand, am not as forgiving." His tone is now vicious, but his smile never dropped. "If anyone makes fun of her or calls her insane, they're dead mongrels."

"Message received, So, did you only come here to ask me about Voldemort?"

Gilgamesh's cheerfulness returned. "Not really. I just want to say that there are people who do believe in you. But, if you don't stop acting like a raving lunatic, you're gonna lose your support eventually."

"But I'm telling the truth!" Harry snapped

"The truth doesn't matter! By this point, you have to realize, the Ministry is deliberately trying to destroy your reputation. I mean, what kind of teacher gives someone Detention for stating what he believes in?"

Harry didn't say anything. Gil smirked. He actually made him shut up.

"With that said, it doesn't mean you shouldn't fight back," Gil added.

Harry cocked an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Gilgamesh shrugged as he walked away from Harry. "Who knows? But let me tell you, you're not the only one who hates that mongrel."

Ravenclaw Girls Dormitory

Three Ravenclaw girls held their giggles as they sneaked into the room of Loony Lovegood. They're lucky no one wanted to room with her, because they didn't have to disturb anyone else. Also lucky is the fact that she doesn't wake up easily.

They thought it would be fun to steal her possessions one by one. At first, they stole her shoes, making her walk barefoot. Then they moved on to other items, such as books and parchments.

"Now what should we take next?" asked one girl

"I know! Let's take those rubbish newspapers of hers", said another.

They took the papers, and by this point, they couldn't contain their laughter. They only stopped when they heard someone talking.

"What do you think are you doing?"

Their bodies froze. They try to find where the voice came from, but there's no one else in the room other than Loony.

"So you are the 'nargles' that's taking her stuff," the voice said again. The voice is muffled so they can't make out if it's from someone they knew, or if it's from a girl or a boy. Then, out of nowhere, golden portals appeared, with swords coming out, aimed directly at them.

"If you mongrels don't lay off your hands on this poor girl, then you shall know the wrath of a King! Now return her things at once, and I shall leave you be. But if you ever steal or make fun of her again," the swords shoot out of the portals. They all shriek as the swords are about to stab them, but fortunately they stopped when they were near their chests. They all ran away, not even bothering to hear the rest of what the voice has to say. They got the message clear. They are NOT taking any chances!

When the last of the girls left the room, Gilgamesh removed his Cloak of Invisibility and it along with the swords disappeared back to his treasury. Now he is the one laughing hard. It's a wonder that Luna didn't wake up, as the King of Heroes spent the entire night laughing to his heart's content

A/N: I figured Gil would've worked in all the houses, but I ultimately chose Ravenclaw because, as the Hat said, that's where Caster Gil would've ended up in (Hufflepuff too, but that would kill him), and while I didn't mention it in the story, child Gil likes him better than his Archer self.

I would like to thank everyone who explained to me how the Gate of Babylon works. Now I know what to do with it.
