Ch 4 12 Grimmauld Place
Lily saw her son, standing in front of her, his black inky untamed hair, his face structure like James and Jamie. His white shirt and navy blue were all wet, his brown shoes were being soaked by the running water of the pipeline.
"Har-Harry?" Lily's voice cracked, hoping this was really her son.
James just stares at the young man before him. He watched him scratching the back of his head. "By the root, this just got complicated." He sighs.
Tonks rushed over to Harry and hugged him. "YOU BIG DUMMY! YOU AND YOUR PRANKS!" The witch cried. "YOU MESSED UP BIG TIME HARRY! WE THOUGHT YOU DIED!"
"Harry, are you really Har-"
"Fujimaru!" the Order turns around to see a group of strangely dressed people and one that looks familiar. Tonks let go of her brother figure and saw them,
"You know, running off like that is a bad habit of yours. Director or not." Hinako scolded the Magus.
"I know, Hinako. I'm trying to move around it." Ritsuka sheepishly said.
"Ms. Akuta, try not to question master's motives." Waver sighs, "Best to go along with it."
Lily and James's eyes widen at the sight of the Caster. "Severus, i-is that really you?" Lily asked the look alike.
Waver sighs, throwing his cigarette on the water. "As I said to Mr. Black, I'm Lord El-Melloi II, not Severus Snape."
"I'm so confused, what is exactly going on here!?" Tonks held her head, getting a headache from this situation.
Remus sniffs their scent if they were muggles, his eyes widen that it came back neither as human nor wizard. He leans to James, Arthur, and Kingsley, "(They're not human, or wizards. They're something entirely different.)" he whispers.
"(What about Harry? Is he Harry or one of them.)" Arthur whispers back.
Remus nodded. "(No doubt about it, but something is off about him.)"
James tilts his head confused about what his friend meant. "(What does that suppose to-)"
"Sirius Black! What were you thinking!?" the three men turn to Kingsley walking away from the conversation to Sirius standing with the strangers.
Sirius looks down at the running water in shame. "I-I'm sorry, it's just my rage. W-"
"That's no excuse, Sirius. Do you remember what your situation is right now!?" Kingsley scolded the wrong convict. "If Fudge got to you then we will lose another member." He sighs.
"I-I know, and I'm sorry." Sirius apologies to them.
James just patted his back. "Don't worry about, now our next situation." He looks at his son,
Lily steps forward with her hands on her heart. "Harry, a-are you really here? Amongst the living, with us?" she asked with a bit of hope.
Ritsuka looks at his Servants, then at her. "I'm still alive but things need to be explained to you all carefully." He spoke. "But to answer your first question, I'm not Harry Potter."
Tonks looks at the Boy-Who-Lived, saying he's not him. "T-Then who are you? "
Ishtar floats forward in the conversation. "Can we discuss this out of the sewer? It's not the best place to hold a conversation here." The Goddess stated
Everyone gaped that the woman in just her undergarments floated without any use of a broom. "H-How can you float like that without a broom?" Remus was bewildered by her ability.
Ishtar smirks, placing her hand on her chest proudly. "I'm a Divine Spirit, I have the authority over the sky and the-"
"Divine Spirit? I think I heard that term one time." Arthur said, pondering in his mind.
Ereshkigal nudges her sister's hip, causing her to look down. "That's too much information you nitwit!" the Goddess of the Underworld scolded her.
The Goddess of Heaven's eye twitches at her sister's nickname. "What did you just call me?" she shouted at her.
"You heard me, idiot!" The Lancer glares at the Archer.
"W-Why you-"
"Alright, alright, that's enough you two. We're in public here." Parvati stopped the two before the agreement escalated further.
"Fou," Fou jumps down from Ishtar and ran across the water to Ritsuka.
Lily and Tonks jump at the sight of the little creature scurrying to Harry's shoulder. "There you go, Fou." Ritsuka placed the Beast on his shoulders.
Remus examines Fou as he scratches his ear. "I never seen any creature like that before, tell me Harry where did you get him?" he asked.
Muramasa heard dementors at the end of the tunnel. "We better get going, those dementors are nearby."
James and Sirius heard them too, "Yes, let's head back to the base now." James stops in front of his 'son'. "You said you wanted a place to talk?"
Ritsuka nodded, "Yes, this conversation is important. I would like to clear out the confusion here." He said.
"Yeah, talk about confusion. I'm still confused about what's going on." Sirius piqued. "Especially your name."
Lily looks at Harry confused about what he meant. "What about your name? Isn't it Harry James Potter?" Lily asked.
"All will be explained once we head to the Order," Lanling added.
"Right, f-follow me," James said, still comprehending what's happening.
The group followed James through the pipelines, heading to the exit. Lily turns around to see her son. He was discussing something in what seems in Japanese to the man who would be in the Weasleys. "Hey, Lily are you too…what's the word, shocked?"
Lily looks at Tonks, "What do you mean, Tonks?"
Tonks looks back at the Harry look alike. "I mean, look at him. He has the same hairstyle and face structure as Harry, his voice is the same. He's practically the same minus the blue eyes."
Lily looks at him once more, he is like her Harry in every way minus the eyes. "You're right, but his personality is different. He's more mature."
"Don't let the maturity act fool you." The women jumped from Waver walking next to him. "He may act mature in meetings and officials, outside from that he's a child. Especially with the ones close to him." the Caster responded.
'Officials? Does he have a government job?' Lily thought the whole situation with Harry was just too confusing to comprehend.
James continues forward, thinking about what just occurred back there. His family was working on moving forward on Harry's death and now he's here, alive no less. But his personality, it's not the one that he knew from his baby boy. "How are you holding up?" Arthur asked.
James sighs. "I'm… I'm just confused about this. My family was getting over the death of Harry and now he miraculously came back to life!? Nothing should come back from the dead like that," He looks at Arthur with conflicted eyes. "The only occurrence on record that someone came back from the dead was necromancers from the Forbidden Order, and that was over two centuries ago."
"He did mention the Forbidden Order." They all look at Sirius.
"What? He knew about them?" Kingsley asked, surprised. "Only the Order and some select Pureblood families know about them."
Remus looks at the Animagus. "What did Harry say about the Order? Anything suspicious?"
Sirius shook his head. "No, he did not, he just only asks if they're still around."
James chuckles at the Forbidden Order being active. "I guess he doesn't know that they went extinct a long time ago." He shook his head.
"He did call them by their other name," Sirius added. "The Mage's Association."
The men froze at the mention of the Mages. "Okay, this just got weird. How does he even know that!? Only the Headmaster and us know their true names." Remus gave up coming up with an explanation of what this Harry is.
"More importantly, what's with the seven people following him." James looks back at them, "They look like they're ready for combat."
"Seven?" Sirius wonder, looking back. "I counted eight before,"
Arthur recounted the people, minus Harry. He counted seven. "There's seven behind him, what does the eight one look like?"
Sirius shivers and the sight of him. "He has this malice aura around him, he looks like a cross between a demon, a muggle clown, and a werewolf."
"That's a terrifying thought." Remus gulped, never hearing that description before.
"Yeah, the most terrifying about him he uses pentagrams and travels through the shadows," Sirius said to the men. "And what Lancer said that 'Considering what side you were on,' he has done something horrible in Harry's past."
James looks around for the man Sirius describes, but he's nowhere to be seen. "You think he's in the shadows?" he asked.
"After what you describe him, he sounds like an incarnation of evil," Arthur said, shivering at the thought. "If You-Know-Who were still around he'll take interest in that man."
"Luckily, he hasn't been seen or heard from for almost a month." Kingsley sighs in relief.
"You think they're talking about us?" Ritsuka asked in Japanese.
"From their whispers, they most definitely are kiddo," Muramasa replied. "Can't blame them, from their reaction earlier, this world's Harry Potter died tragically."
"How can you tell?" Ritsuka asked the Saber.
Hinako walks up next to him. "We can hear them because we're Servants. And the atmosphere, it's thick enough to cut it with the knife." The Assassin answered.
"So, what's our best course of action now? We haven't found a Mana Pool in the pipeline as we hope." Lanling added. "Should we focus on finding a Mana Pool after we've met with the Order?"
Ritsuka pounders in his mind, he looks at the Order's doppelgangers. "Our best course is to enlist the help of the Order of the Phoenix."
"You're serious?" Ishtar asked her master.
"I know we didn't have seen eye to eye in our world, but this world's Order seems decent enough," Ritsuka observes them. "From my guess, they haven't notice that their world is distorted. I think this world's Harry wasn't supposed to die."
"I get what you mean, the way they reacted he's probably a beacon of hope for the Wizard," Parvati commented. "Taking a symbol of hope from a civilization would cause their downfall."
Ereshkigal paused for a moment feeling the exact feeling with the dementors. "A dementor horde is waiting outside the pipeline." She announced causing everyone to look at her.
"How do you know?" Sirius asked the Lancer.
"Look, I just know." Ereshkigal looks at her master.
Ritsuka nodded. "Defeat the enemies, Lancer."
"Wait, what!?" Tonks looked at Harry like he'd gone mad.
Lily walks up to him. "Harry, only a Patronus can drive those dementors away. Nothing-"
"She can do it." Everyone looked at Sirius. "She can kill those monsters. I saw it with my own eyes."
"He's right, you killed one too Harry." Arthur supported the idea.
Ritsuka nodded. "Yes,"
James, Kinsley, and Remus looked at each other and nodded. The Potter heir looks at his son's Servant. "Do it."
Ereshkigal rushes out of the tunnel, the group followed her behind.
The Lancer summons a cage with a blue will-o-wisps inside. "Come spirits of the dead! Bring punishment to those who've will harm all life!" she lifts the cage as the wisps burn bright.
"What is she-' They all watched in awe, red lances erupted from the ground. Ereshkigal swipes her hand to the side.
The lances were hurled at each dementor. One by one the dementors scream a horrid cry unpleasant to the human ear. Soon the horde shrunk in numbers until none of the dementors were left.
"Dementors are taken care of Fujimaru." Ereshkigal smiles at her master.
"You know I can do that." Ishtar scoffs.
"But I did it better, Archer." The Queen of Kur smirks at her sister.
Ritsuka steps out of the pipeline and smiles. "Good job Lancer, though that might've caught some Mundanes' attention."
Ereshkigal blushed red like her cape. "By the grail, I'm sorry for that Fujimaru." the Goddess inclines her head to him. Ishtar floats around with a mischievous smirk on her face.
Ritsuka smiles at her. "It's f-f-f-AAACHHHOOO!"
"Fou, Fou!?" Fou jumps at Ritsuka's sneezing.
Hinako walks up to her friend checking his condition. "We should go to your base now. If Ritsuka stays in this cold, then he'll have a fever." The Dead Apostle informs the wizards.
"Hinako, I'm f-ACHOO!" Ritsuka sneeze.
The wizards stood there in shock, the horde of dementors was gone like that. When Ritsuka sneezes again, Lily snaps out of it. Her motherly instincts kick in. "O-Oh, right. We should use Apparition, it's the fast way to get to the base."
James shook his head, get the sense of shock out of his mind. "R-Right, uh everyone pair-"
"Mr. Potter, we can follow you by sensing the Mana of our master." Waver informs him.
"What…?" Tonks questioned, not fully understanding what he means,
"He means we're following you guys in our Astral forms," Muramasa explained it simply for her.
Arthur looks at the blacksmith. "We still don't get what you mean. What did you mean by Astral forms?" he asked.
"Simple." Parvati dematerializes in a blue hue. Soon everyone followed the Goddess of Fertility.
"W-Wow, you're like ghosts or something like that." Sirius jokes only received no answer from them.
"In their Astral form, they can only communicate with one or two-person. Not a group like this one." Ritsuka informs them.
"O-Oh, anyways. Uh, Harry grab onto my arm and we can Apparate to the Order." Lily told her 'son'. Ritsuka nodded and grab her arms.
Lily's eyes began to water, feeling the same feeling of warmth when her son grabs her arms. "A-Alright, close your eyes and-" the wizards Apparate to a building complex with widows filled with residents.
"Well, here we are." Sirius smiles, looking at Harry.
Ritsuka tilts his head confused about what he's looking at. "Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this an apartment complex."
"Tis is, master." Waver materialized next to him along with the others.
"Merlin! You all just appeared!" Arthur exclaims from the shock of their sudden appearance.
Muramasa eyed the Weasley head. "Like I said, Astral form."
"So is this the base of the Order of the Phoenix?" Lanling asked. "We never been here before, we just stayed at the Outpost doing our thing."
Ishtar scoffs, "That time we're aren't looking for this Order, we're focused on our mission." The Archer said to the prince.
The wizards just stare at the two converse, they're speaking things that are hard to understand. "Uh, yeah…so just give me a moment to take down the Fidelius Charm." Sirius raises his wand to the complex, the buildings started to move as another complex merge out between complexes thirteen and eleven.
"Huh, should've guessed it was under a Fiddle charm or something like that," Ereshkigal commented seeing the hidden complex.
"Uh, Fidelius Charm." Kingsley corrected her. "And how did you know about Fidelius Charms? Only wizards knew about that."
"Inside, we'll explain it inside," Hinako told the Auror.
"By the way, is Foreigner around here? He should've followed us once we exit the pipeline." Ritsuka asked his Servants.
"I'm right here, master." Voyager materialized in front of them with a bag in his hands.
"A-A little boy?" James was shocked to see the boy appearing like that.
"Harry, do you know this child?" Lily asked her 'son' if he knew this strange little boy.
Ritsuka nodded, "Yes, he's one of my Servants."
"Foreigner, that's his name, right?" Remus asked his nephew. "What an odd name for a child."
"It's just his class title, we all have one," Parvati responds with a cheerful smile.
"Anyways. Let's head inside, shall we?" James said to the group, Sirius took point leading the group inside.
James followed behind when Kingsley grabs his arms. He turns around looking at his fellow Auror. "Kinsley what are y-"
"James, are you sure about this?" Kingsley asked the Captain of the Aurors and head security of Hogwarts. "Bringing this stranger that looks like your son to the base?"
"Are you second-guessing our decision to bring my son here?" James questions his friend.
"To be honest here James, this Harry is mysterious. He mentions the Forbidden Order and knew their other name, he and his followers took out a horde of dementors like it was nothing. They even knew a wizard spell that no muggle know." Kingsley told his friend. "I-I know this ruined any hopes of your son returning, but think about, why would he want to speak with the Order of the Phoenix out of the blue like that?"
James sighs, knowing he had the same train of thought as Kingsley. "I know that this was an irrational decision to bring him here, but I can't just refuse him. He may not be Harry we know, but he's still Harry." His voice cracked for a moment there.
Kingsley saw the pleading in his eyes. "Fine, but I'm doing this because we're friends James."
"Thank you, Kingsley." James thanked his friend.
Inside the complex, Sirius renters the Black family's home. "TRAITORS! ALL OF YOU! YOU MUD-BLOOD, MUGGLE SUPPORTERS!"
"OH PUT A SOCK IN IT MUM!" Sirius rolled his eyes at the annoying portrait of his mother.
"Sirius Black! How dare you run off like that!" Molly barge into the halls with Abigail in her arms.
"Molly, you never guessed who we-"
"Don't Molly me, Sirius! We're still trying to figure out how to get you unconvicted by the ministry and yet you went off finding Pettigrew!?" Molly holler at the Animagus. "You've could've been kissed! The dementors were out and about searching for you and-"
"The dementors are all dead," Arthur walks past his wife, pecking her cheek.
Molly was confused. "W-Wait, what? What do you-"
"Yeah, you should've seen them. they have crazy magic we have never seen." Tonks skips to the dining room.
"Remus, what are they talking about? No one can kill those monsters." Molly watches the werewolf walk by.
"Molly, tonight was…eventful. I-I need to process what happened." Remus held his temple, trying to comprehend what he just saw.
"Could some please tell me what is going on here!?" Molly shouts causing Abigail to cry in her arms. Molly realized that all her yelling and shouting made the small girl cry. "O-Oh, sorry little Abby. Auntie Molly got you."
"Mmmm, a bit dusty but we can get used to it." Molly looks to the front, seeing strangers, two women in such lude clothing.
"Uh, excuse me but why and how are you here? This is a secret place for wizar-" Molly paused seeing Muramasa entering the complex.
"Eh, it's not like the hermitage," Muramasa commented,
'Oh…my…' Molly blushed at the near shirtless man with tone abs entering the complex. 'No, Molly; you're a married woman with a handsome husband and wonderful children.'
The Weasley wife took a deep breath and walks over to him, with Abigail crying in her arms. Excuse me sir, but why are you all here? This place is for members of the Order only." Molly asked the man.
"I'm sure someone will explain to you soon," Muramasa told to the woman. "Mrs. Potter could explain it to you."
"Lily?" Molly looks for Lily in the crowded hall, then she saw her speaking with James.
"Lily, James, who are these peol-" Molly gasps at the sight of the man speaking with her. "H-H-How is this possible, w-we saw your casket being buried in your grave?"
Abigail cries in Molly's arms, she then opens her green eyes and saw her wet big brother. "HA! Ha!" she immediately stops crying and points at Harry.
Ritsuka saw the infant pointing at him. "Hehe, I see that I have a baby sister in this world." He waved at the baby as he does with Romani.
"What? What is he talking about Lily?" Molly asked her.
Lily waves it off. "Not right now Molly, uh…Harry the bathroom with a bath is in here." Lily showed Ritsuka to the bathroom next to them.
"Oh, thank you, Lily." Ritsuka thanked his mother's doppelganger. "Foreigner do you have the-"
Voyager handed his master the bag of his clothes. "Here you go, master." The Servant smiles.
"Thank you, Foreigner." Ritsuka ruffles his blonde hair before entering the shower room.
Lily froze after hearing her name coming out of her son's mouth. 'D-D-Did he just calls me Lily?' she thought.
"Lily, what is going on here? Why is Harry back from the grave?" Molly asked, a bit scared of what's happening.
"I-I don't know," Lily took Abigail from Molly's arms. "But he wants to speak with us, can you tell Albus? He needs to know what's happening."
Molly shook her head from the shock of seeing a walking corpse before her eyes. "R-Right, the Headmaster needs to know that Harry's alive." She rushes to the dining room before being stopped by Lily.
"Oh, Molly where are the kids?" Lily asked for their children's whereabouts.
Molly turns around to face Lily. "Oh, they're upstairs sleeping. They're still taking the death of…Harry hard." She looks at the bathroom where Ritsuka is. "I'm not sure how they'll react to see...him walking around."
"I know." Lily sighs, hearing Kingsley and James coming in the front.
Ritsuka finished with his shower and took some clothes in the bag. He got dressed in the clothes he picked out. He looks at the mirror and adjusts the clothes. The clothes he picked out from the bag was a red hoodie with a white cross and two dots on both sides on the chest, a black t-shirt underneath it, a black leather jacket, dark grey jeans, and black striped converse shoes. (Picture Rin Tohsaka's outfit but male.)
"Gotta admit Medb has some unique designs," Ritsuka said to himself.
The Magus walks out of the bathroom where his Servants waited outside the dining room. "What's going on?"
Fou jumps from Muramasa's shoulders and onto Ritsuka's. "Fou."
Waver looks at his master. "They're having a meeting about us, Mrs. Weasley told us to let you know that you can enter at any time."
"Okay," Ritsuka responded, "Can you guys go to Spirit form? I would like it if you guys didn't clutter the hall. Hinako you can stay, I need a friend with me."
"Of course," Hinako replied as the others went into their Astral form.
The two directors step forward to the closed dining room doors, hearing a discussion about something.
"Ready?" Hinako asked her friend.
Ritsuka nodded. "Let's go in." he opens the door hearing the agreement fading once he opens it.
"But he's still Harry no matter… how suspicious…" James paused seeing his 'son' standing there in good-looking clothes. Standing next to him was the Hinako girl he remembers Harry calling her.
"Are we interrupting something important?" Ritsuka asked, seeing Dumbledore's doppelganger standing from his seat.
"No, you're not, Harry." Albus pulled out a chair right at the end of the table along with one for Hinako. "Please take a seat,"
Ritsuka and Hinako took their seat across from the Order members. "I understand you wanting to speak to us of grave importance?"
