Hey Nuggies! So I've been reading a lot, and I mean a lot, of HP Fanfiction where Harry is sent to another, or parallel, world to defeat Voldemort and where his parent live. Very cliche I know, but I have always wanted to write one! So, here I am and hopefully you keep reading it even though the thought had been done multiple times. The pairing is SLASH as with most of my fanfiction and I have yet to decide if it will be M!Preg or not or who Harry will be with. By the way, this will not really be book compliant. There will be some mentions of things that have happened in the books, but this will be AU so that means no Horcruxes!

So tell me who you would want Harry to be with and if you want it M!Preg. I will not pair him with any female characters. Feel free to leave your choices in a review or a PM.

I feel like I should also mention that Harry will be OOC.

Rating: M

Pairing: Harry/?

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. The franchise belongs to its rightful owner(s). I do not make any money off of this as this is just for entertainment purposes only. I do own my OCs.

A/N: Poll update at the bottom!

(2) A/N: A reviewer that PM'd me pointed out that I did say that there would be no Horcruxes in this. And I did. BUT! I did say that the two worlds are different to each other so while one world has Horcruxes the other world may or may not have them.


Harry sighed as he trudged his way up the stairs. The meeting was over hours ago, but his parents and godfathers wanted to interrogate him over what the meeting was about. They surprisingly took to him being a Parselmouth rather well in his opinion, in fact they wanted to get him a snake to converse with in a therapeutic way in case he didn't want to speak to them about anything. His parents wanted him to tell the story once more, but with more details and they wanted to know about his friends and a bunch of other things about his school years. Retelling everything just made him more emotionally drained than he was after the veritaserum.

Taking a quick shower and putting on some scar reducer cream, James had given him, he climbed into bed in just his boxers and desperately tried to fall asleep. He tried everything. He counted sheep, meditated, conjured soothing sounds to lull himself to sleep. Nothing worked. Even though he was exhausted physically and emotionally he couldn't close his eyes. Sitting up on his bed he laid his head back against the headboard and looked at the ceiling.

He didn't notice the moving shadows that were shown by moonlight as the moon itself routinely traveled across the sky. He didn't notice as the sky brightened as the sun rose and greeted this side of the world. He didn't notice as a phoenix flamed itself into his room and perched itself on the foot board of his bed.

When he did notice the magnificent bird the sun had fully emerged from the horizon casting its light into his room. Sitting up he looked at the creature with wide eyes. The phoenix was different than Fawkes in size and coloration. Its feathers gleamed a light silver and looked soft like silk while its large intelligent eyes, that were studying him like he was studying it, were molten silver mercury. It took a moment, but Harry realized that he was in the presence, well from what the Headmaster had described, of a Royal Phoenix.

"H-Hello?" Harry said softly as if not to startle it. He bit his lip as he saw amusement fill its eyes before it shifted its stance.

Hello, little human.

Harry jumped slightly startled at the feminine voice that echoed through his head. "W-Was that you?" he asked as he moved to sit with his legs cross underneath him like he learned in school when he was younger.

Indeed, child.

"You were the one to bring me here?"

The phoenix bowed her head in a nod. "Why?" Harry asked as he wrapped his arms around his middle.

You're soul and heart yearned for help and I heard it even from this world. I answered its call and brought you here to heal and have the chance of living like you were suppose to.

"Thank you," he said softly as he looked at the phoenix in earnest.

No need for thanks, little human. I must admit in helping you I do have a selfish reason for doing so. If you will hear of it? The phoenix cocked her head in question as she waited for an answer from the little human she had whisked away.

Harry looked at the Royal Phoenix in confusion, but he did take a moment to think over what she said. "If I say no, will you take me back?" he asked hesitantly and took a deep breath. He had to admit he was terrified of the answer.

No. If you refuse to hear it, I will simply leave and look to another for help, but it may be too late before I find help. She trilled softly as she looked over to the rising sun for a moment before turning back to the human.

Taking another deep breath he nodded as he cleared his throat. "I'll listen. Its the least I could do for the help you gave me," he said softly before licking his dry lips, "What is it you need?" Harry watched as the phoenix closed her eyes and shook out her feathers causing the already large creature to seem even larger. They sat in silence for a few moments before the creature before him spoke in soft sad tones.

My time in life is coming to a close little one, but I was given the most wonderful gift someone or creature could ask for. I was given a chance to bring life into the world. I am unfortunately unable to live for its hatching. Will you care for my child as I have cared for you?

The phoenix kept her gaze steady as she peered into his eyes. Yes, this human would be the best to care for her hatchling. He had already seen the harshness of the world and would do his best to make sure her hatchling would live to his or her best potential. All she needed was a yes from him and then she could go into everlasting sleep like most of her kind dream of.

Harry did everything he could to keep his jaw from dropping as the words finally latched into his head. "O-Of course!" he exclaimed as he looked at her with eyes filled with seriousness and a hint of sadness, but she wasn't sure if the sadness was for her or for her child that she would never know.

She trilled happily as she received her answer. Thank you, little human. Please take care of my hatchling. She looked at him once more before opening her beak and letting out a loud soulful cry that echoed through his room and made his ears rings with her cry. She could feel her body burning like it would during a burning day but with much more intensity. It was a sensation she hadn't felt in a millennium as she hadn't experienced a burning day since before she was chosen to be a Royal Phoenix. As she burned she looked through the silver and black flames at the human and saw his shocked and sad face once more before the flames completely engulfed her. She knew, as she passed onto her next life, that she did the right thing leaving her egg with that human.

In the space she had left was an egg about the size of an ostrich egg. Its shell was slightly covered with the ashes of her body giving the hatchling within her essence as it was mostly absorbed into the shell, but once Harry wiped the rest of the grey ash away the blackness of the egg shone through like deep obsidian. It was warm to the touch as he held it delicately in his hands.

Harry sat there once more in silence for a few minutes before his door was thrown open. Looking up he saw James and Lily with their wands at the ready as if there were someone in his room attacking him. "H-Harry," James said as he stepped into the room and let his wand hand fall down once he saw that there was nothing attacking his son, "What was that scream?"

Harry opened and closed his mouth, but the words that wanted to come out didn't. Eventually he just looked down at his hands causing both of the adults to take note of the black egg.

"What is that?" James asked softly before reaching out to touch the egg, "Ouch!" he exclaimed as he pulled his hand back after he touched the egg. The shell was burning to the touch and for a moment he wondered why the bed spread wasn't on fire.

"Harry," Lily said turning her attention to the teen, "What happened?" She reached over and ran her hand through his fluffy hair as if the reassure herself he was really there.

Harry gulped softly and leaned into the touch, "Th-The phoenix that br-brought me here. She came," Harry said softly stuttering a bit clutching the egg a little closer to his chest, "She asked me to care for her hatchling so she could d-die peacefully and without worry for it." The silence that followed the confession let Harry take note that his magic was pulsing softly as if it were pulsing like a heartbeat.

Lily sent James a look that he could only interpret as relief that he wasn't hurt. "Why don't you get dress Harry dear," Lily said before bending down and kissing the top of his head, "and meet us downstairs for breakfast. Sirius and Remus should be here in a few hours, just before lunch time, then we need to go pick up your brother and sister at the station."

Harry nodded and watched as they left his room murmuring to each other. Glancing back down at the egg he let out a hum and ran his thumb over the shell. "I'll be back," he murmured softly to it before setting it down in the blanket and pressed the blankets around it in a make shift nest. Getting up he quickly showered to clean any ash that may have gotten on him before getting dressed in light grey skinny jeans, a light flowing tank top with a soft sweater over it, and the knee high boots he wore the day before.

He brushed his shoulder length hair to get it to settle a bit before grabbing his wand and egg. He didn't like the thought of leaving it by itself.

Walking down the stairs he made his way to the kitchen only to see Lily and James locked in a heated embrace. His cheeks flushed a dark red as he saw James bring Lily closer to his body and he did hear her let out a small moan. Letting out a small noise he backed out of the kitchen quickly and made his way to the living room to sit on the couch.

A few moment later he was joined by James, who sat down across from him. Looking up he saw the sheepish look on James' face before the elder explained that Lily was too embarrassed to come out of the kitchen for the moment and that they were sorry he had to see that.

Harry only nodded. It was embarrassing seeing his parents, even if they were from another dimension, in a situation like that.

The moment was broken when Lily announced that she was making crepes and wanted them to cut some fruit up. She wanted enough so she could make extras for later when the others got to the Manor. After setting his egg up in his lap between his tank top and sweater he was given a cutting board, knife, and several bits of fruit. One of which he had never seen.

"What's this?" he asked holding up two pinkish red and green fruits. They looked weird to him and he didn't know if they were actually meant to be eaten.

Lily let out a small giggle before she answered, "Those are dragon fruit. They are originally from Central and South America, but they've become more common around the world. They are sweet and kind of taste like a cross between a pear and a kiwi or a kiwi and a watermelon. Just cut it down the middle and scoop out the insides. After that you can put the insides in a bowl and the outer bits in the trash."

Harry looked at her weirdly before slowly nodding. 'Who would want to eat a fruit that had the word dragon in it?' he asked himself as he set the fruit down and cut into it like she said. When the two sides fell the insides were exposed. One of white with black seeds while the other was pink with black seeds.

"Try it," James said as he stole a small piece once it was scooped out.

Harry looked at the fruit and licked his lips before he picked a small piece like James had gotten and slipped it between his lips. He chewed on piece for a moment and was slightly taken back by the texture. It was creamy, but there was a bit of a crunch thanks to the seeds. Looking up at James he murmured that he liked it and got a smile in return.

"Want to put it on your crepe?" James asked as he gestured to the pile Lily had already cooked up.

Harry nodded before setting the fruit aside. He would get his food after chopping the rest of the fruits like Lily wanted. Breakfast was eaten quickly and Harry had become quite full with the yummy food his mother made and he was content to just lay on the couch as Lily and James cleaned up. He was curled up on one end of the couch with his egg resting against him.

He didn't notice James' approach and jumped slightly when the man spoke up. "Harry," James said as he came around the side of the couch and sat by Harrys' feet, "There are still a few hours until Siri and Remus get here, but we were wondering if you wanted to get your check up over with?"

Harry vaguely remembered that James wanted him to see another healer, their family healer, when the man came to get him from the Infirmary at Hogwarts. "Um okay," Harry said as he nodded giving James consent to call for the healer.

"Okay. I'll be right back with Healer Nightingale," James said as he got up and ruffled Harrys' hair making the teen wrinkle his nose in disdain. James just laughed as he left the room to floo the Healer.

Harry sighed softly and cupped the egg as he adjusted himself on the couch. He had a feeling that today was going to be a long one.
