I don't own any characters or anything but the story. Criticism is welcome but please don't be rude. Quick note: Ron and Hermione have never any romantic feeling towards each other in this because I am going to make them siblings. The story starts ten years before Jake's arrival and will continue through the movie, though with some changes.
Harry wasn't sure whether what had happened was real or not until he opened his eyes and what he saw was incredible. He sat up from where he was laying on the ground and noticed he was in some sort of forest, but it was unlike any forest he had ever seen. All the plants and trees were massive and there were several plant that he could have never imagined. As he looked several creatures walked in to view. They vaguely resembled deer, but they were dark blue with white or yellow running through it and a darker stripe of hair down their backs. They had six legs and small heads with two long horns protruding from it. His attention was pulled away from them by someone speaking.
"Harry?" He looked over towards Hermione voice and was in for a shock. While the person in front of him vaguely resembled Hermione she looked completely different. Her skin was bright blue alternating between darker and lighter stripes with large yellow eyes and a nose that was somewhat flattened. She had ears that were narrowed and elongated and her now black hair was lose except for a long braid that hung over her shoulder looking down he noticed she only had four fingers on each hand and she also had a tail flicking against her leg. Looking over he saw who he guessed was Ron. He looked like Hermione, though his hair besides the braid was a lot shorter. He quickly looked down at his own body to see he had gone through the same changes. He also noticed that they were wearing just enough clothing to preserve their modesty and their was something almost child like about his body.
"What the heck happened to us?" Ron exclaimed. Before Harry or Hermione could answer a voice much like Gaia, though softer spoke "be calm young ones." They looked at each other for a second and then Hermione asked "Are you Eywa?" "Yes, Gaia sent you here for a new life, so I have transformed you into the image of the people here so you may blend in and I have also made you young children so you may grow and learn here." They were quite surprised by that revelation but it did make some sense, since they literally knew nothing about this world.
"So we will be living with the people here?" questioned Harry. "Yes, there is a clan of them that live quite close to here and a group of their hunters will be coming through here. Just tell them you are orphaned siblings and they will take you in will and find you place within the clan." "What do we say if they asked what happened to our parents" Ron asked. "You may tell them whatever you wish to, I will leave it up to you." "Is there anything else we need to know before they find us" asked Hermione. "You are part of a species called the Na'vi, you are now siblings with each of you being a year apart with Harry being the oldest and Hermione being the youngest. I have also altered your names to fit better with this world. Harry you will now be Har'ii, Ron will be Ro'an and Hermione will be Hirmi'ee ."
Harry, now Har'ii, was glad that his name was not too different from what he was used to but was glad to have a new identity. "Now my children it will not be long before they arrives, enjoy your new lives and good luck." With that the voice faded as hoofbeats could be heard coming towards them. The trio looked at each other and then stood ready to face what was coming.
Ateyo was at the front of the hunting party. He noticed the yerik up ahead, so he stopped his pa'li and was just about to grab his bow when he noticed something just behind. Standing just a few feet back were three children and looking around there didn't seem to be any adults within sight. Why would children be this far in the woods by themselves? They were not from the Omaticaya and the other clans were quite far for such young children to travel. He quickly jumped down and disconnected from his pa'li to find out. He glanced at the other hunters to see a couple of them do as he had looking just as surprised as he felt. He approached the group of children ignoring the yerik that scattered as he came closer with the hunters right behind him.
The children watched his approach cautiously with their ears laying slightly back and their tails flicking nervously. He stopped when he was a couple of feet away so they wouldn't be uncomfortable. "I see you little ones" he greeted kindly. The three glanced at each other seemingly confused by this for some reason. Then the oldest boy, Ateyo noticed that he was about the same age as his own son, stepped foward and said uncertainty "I see you." Ateyo smiled encouragingly at him. "What are you doing out here children? Where are your parents?" He asked curiously. We don't have any parents, not anymore." the other boy replied quietly. The slight pain he heard in his voice and the solemn expression on the other two faces kept him from pushing for further details, though he was burning with curiosity.
"What are your names?" asked Aktamu one of the hunters beside him. The oldest boy said "I'm Har'ii and this is my brother Ro'an and my sister Hirmi'ee." "It is a pleasure to meet you, my I'm Aktamu and this is Ateyo and Tstawu" he stated pointing to each of them including the man on the other side of Ateyo. "Is there no one around to take care of you Har'ii?" He shook his and the Ateyo frowned. Children who were orphaned, were usually taken in by relative or other clan members. He wondered if their parents had perhaps left their clan for some reason. It didn't happen often, but it was possible. Anyway it didn't matter how it happened, these children were alone and he was not about to leave them here. "Well little ones, why don't you come with us? I'm sure we can find a place for you." Har'ii looked at each of his sibling who nodded before looking back at him and saying "Okay."
Har'ii wasn't sure what to think when he was lead over to the horse-like creatures the group had rode up on earlier. He noticed there were a few more hunter that had hung back and were watching them curiously. "Ateyo, what is going on?" one of them called out. "We will be heading back to speak to the Olo'eyktan and Tsahik about finding a place for these three to stay in the Omaticaya" he replied. "Okay Har'ii you will be riding with me , Ro'an with Aktamu and Hirmi'ee with Tstawu."
Ateyo then lifted Har'ii up on to the broad back of the animal. To Har'ii's confusion he connected his braid to one of the atenna like things of creature. Seeing the look on his face, Ateyo explained "That is the bond, the way we connect to animals like the pa'li " Ateyo then pulled himself up behind Har'ii. The pa'li the started back through the forest and Har'ii couldn't help look around wide eyed at the fascinating plants and creatures they passed. His new ears twitched at the odd sounds they were making and he could hear Hirmi'ee asking various question as they traveled. Before too long Har'ii noticed that the direction they were headed were toward an absolutely massive tree. Even the already giant trees around them were completely dwarfed by the one up ahead. They soon reached it with the riders stopping in a clearing right near the tree. Ateyo dismounted and then helped Har'ii down before the three sibling were guided inside, between the giant roots of home of the Omaticaya.
There were at least hundred na'vi milling about the bottom of tree. In the middle, there appeared to be a natural formed staircase that spiraled to the higher levels with even more people going up and down. Many people stopped what the were doing to watch them with curiosity and confusion. Ateyo lead the group over to a man and woman standing near the spiral. They were dressed far more ornately then anyone else and Har'ii wondered if they were the leaders of the clan. They stopped right in front of the two who had turned to watch their approach.
Ateyo stepped forward and said "I see you Olo'eyktan Eytukan and Tsahik Mo'at." They both returned the greeting before asking about Har'ii and his siblings. After Ateyo explained, Mo'at said "Of course they will stay here. I'm certain we will be able to find a new family for them." Eytukan easily agreed with his mate. He looked at Ateyo and said "The children should go play while we look into it." Ateyo nodded before calling out "Tsu'tey." A boy who was just a little taller than Har'ii came forward glancing curiously at them, tail swishing. "Yes, father?" "I need you to show Har'ii, Ro'an and Hirmi'ee around." "Of course father." Tsu'tey then gestured for them to follow him climbing up the spiraling stairs. Har'ii wanted to protest about having to leave the discussion that would determine what their fate was going to be, but decided it was best not argue with the people who were offering them a place to live. Ro'an and Hirmi'ee seemed just as reluctant as him to leave, but they all made to follow, though they did not leave without glancing back and wondering what was going to happen to them.
