Edit 4/4/'18, fixed a lot of mistakes, deleted some things I noticed that were never supposed to be there(however, I do feel like I missed something, so notify if you spot it... one pair of eyes, reading it over tons of times does not seem to work very efficiently), and generally improved the readability a bit.

So, a new chapter. Man, I enjoyed writing this chapter! It is not perfect, but I like it enough to put it out there, and it's nice and long to boot, yeah!

disclaimer, I still don't own Life is Strange, nor do I own Harry Potter, I'm just using them for inspiration to write.

I hope you enjoy this chapter, and as usual, tell me if you see something wrong, inconsistencies, or anything of the like, I know there is still a lot for me to learn, throughout this story alone I noticed a huge improvement in my English,and my ability in spotting things that aren't right. But if you want to say you enjoyed it, or make observations, you are very much welcome to do so, you should be able to contact me in every way possible on this site.

reviews:

King of snakes: As you can see, canon has already pretty much been wiped off the table, and I think you can find a possible 3rd option being formed in this chapter. Thank you for your review.

EroSlackerMicha: I'm not sure how to take your "... ... Really..." So I will answer it as a question, yes, really, otherwise I would most likely not have written it. thank you for taking the time to write your review.

Felab: thank you for pointing this out to me, it should have been fixed.

Phantom's Snake: Your review actually made me laugh when I read it, and you are right, I think Harry is not even able to take it sitting down, there is no way in hell that he will not try everything within his power(which is quite a bit) to try and prevent bloodshed.

Now, enough of my rambling, have a nice read.

The ward

Harry walked onto the floor Kate Marsh was supposed to stay in, downstairs at the receptionists desk they could only tell him it would be here on the second floor, so he decided to ask the desknurse on this floor.

"Hello madam, could you point me to Kate Marsh's room please?" Harry asked to the Nurse.

"She is in room 2.05, third door on your left through those doors." The nurse answered, a sad smile on her face.

"Thank you madam." Harry followed her directions and came to the designated door, he decided to knock.

"Come in." He heard a timit voice coming from the other side of the door.

Harry opened the door to see a young girl wearing comfortable clothes sitting on a chair drawing.

"Hello Kate, I'm Harry, I'm here to ask you a few questions, if that is okay with you." Harry said after he had closed the door.

"About the roof?" Kate asked Harry quizzically. "Are you a doctor?"

"It has something to do with it, but it has more to do with why you did it. I am not a doctor, nor a psychologist, I am mostly researching the strange things going on in the area, I met Chloe and Max yesterday, and they are helping me with a few things, in exchange I am trying to help them find out what happened to Rachel Amber, and I have a feeling that you and her have a connection somehow."

"So, you want me to tell you what I remember from the night of the party?" Kate asked.

"Yes, I want to know as much as you can remember from that night, you don't have to say anything you are unable to say, or do not want to say.""Harry said seeing the conflicting emotions on her face.

"Well… okay, ehm… where do I have to start?" She asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Start where you feel you should start." Harry said in a reassuring tone, as he sat down in a chair.

"I'll try…" Kate said before starting her tale, slowly and uncertainty plainly visible, but she started. "Last week I got an invitation to a Vortex club party by one of the members, and after doubting for a few days I decided to just do it, I thought it would be fun." She began, still sounding very unsure.

"Do you remember who gave you the invite?" Harry asked her.

"Victoria Chase." She answered looking towards Harry. "Do you think she has got something to do with my missing memories?"

"I don't think so, there is a bigger chance she has been used by someone, I can not say for sure before I have talked to her."

"The party was okay I guess, I was given a beer, and after drinking it I started feeling sick… The last thing I remember is Nathan Prescott saying he would bring me to the hospital, after this I lost consciousness, and I woke up some time later in a white room… I presumed it was a hospital at the time, but I'm not sure, those memories are very fussy, the next thing I know is me waking up in bed."

"do you remember who gave you the beer?" Harry asked her trying to to push her to hard.

"I don't really remember, there are a lot of holes around that time…" She said looking at one of her drawings. "I think it was a boy…"

"Can you give me a list of the people at the party you can remember?"

"I think I can do that." As she said it she picked up a piece of paper and started writing, once in while closing her eyes trying to visualize what she saw.

A few minutes later she looked up at Harry, "I hope you find out what happened." She said a lone tear riding the contours of her face.

"I will do everything I can to find out." Harry said. Accepting the piece of paper, scanning it for a certain name.

Victoria Chase

Courtney Wagner

Hayden Jones

Nathan Prescott

Zachary Riggins

Taylor Christenson

"There were more, But these are the ones I can remember…" Kate said.

"I think I can work with this, thank you for your help Kate."

As Harry was about to say goodbye and leave, they heard knocking on the door.

"Come in." Kate said.

The door opened to let Max in.

"Oh, hello Harry, hey Kate, am I interrupting?" The girl asked as she noticed Harry standing up.

"I was just about to leave." Harry said, putting away his notebook. "Again, thank you for sharing all of this with me, I know it wasn't easy, I will see what I can find. In the meantime, you try and make sure your works will appear in musea worldwide alright? They deserve it."

However before Harry could leave the room Chloe ran into the room, closing the door behind her.

"There are 5 armed man outside, they are looking for you." She said looking to Harry, she didn't even seem surprised to see Harry there.

"Have they mentioned why?" Harry asked her.

"No, but they did threaten to kill everyone in this hospital if they couldn't find you." Chloe said, walking towards Max and Kate. Kate seemed to be very afraid, which was very much unsurprising, what did surprise Harry however, was how Chloe and Max didn't seem that faced at all, they were nervous, yes, but they were not afraid.

"I so love it when someone who wants me makes the great mistake of angering me before I have even met them." Harry muttered to himself whilst unclipping the strap that held his gun safe on his hip, whilst silently activating the charms on his clothing.

"You carry a gun?" Chloe asked Harry shocked.

"Yes, I've had one for a while now, let's keep it at this, these things happen far to often for my liking." Harry said, "What kinds of weapons?" he added as an afterthought.

"Scythes, they do not seem to wear any body armor, they're wearing black dresses or something if that helps."

In the time the four spend talking, people had started screaming and running to the back of the hallway huddling together or piling into rooms, whilst a few of them were calling 911.

"Scythes?" Harry looked to Chloe. "Are you serious? Scythes?"

"I know what I saw." Chloe said.

"Stay here. If it is me they want, it is me they're gonna' get." Harry moved outside to the sight of 5 black clad man brandishing great scythes.

"Ah, the great hero comes out to offer himself to us." A gravelly voice came from on of the man.

"Yeah, I thought it would be reasonable to give a rundown of the mistakes you have made till now."

The five figures looked towards each other in confusion.

"What do you mean?" the same gravely voice said.

"Well, your first mistake was entering a hospital with your weapons out in the open, your second mistake was threatening to kill everyone here if I didn't come to you, which if you, or the person who ordered you to collect me, knew me, they would know that that would not turn out well for the threatening party. Of course then there is the fact you are still standing there after antagonizing and threatening me and all of the people within this building." Harry said. "Now, to the part you tell me who you are, and possibly who ordered you to collect me, and I was hoping after you have finished this part, you would leave, that would be a plus."

"If you do not come quietly, we will be forced to use force." The gravelly voice said. This time Harry noticed that none of the mouths of the five men before him moved.

Harry readied his gun before asking, "What are you guys?"

This apparently was the point the other guys were waiting for as all at ones they jumped forward, at the same time Harry jumped and rolled to the side, firing a shot at the closest man, hitting it right between the eyes, it did not however fall to the ground dead as Harry expected.

On the contrary, the thing in front of him barely even staggered, a ripple traveled throughout the being before steadying once more, an entire clip emptied into it later, and the thing was still standing.

"You really think that will stop us?" The gravelly voice said.

"Well, I wouldn't know if I didn't try now would I?" Harry asked. Before jumping out of the way of a scythe trying very hard to take his head off, this jump took Harry to the safety of a wall, on that wall he noticed a fire alarm.

"Well, time to evacuate boys." Harry said before using his gun to break the glass, immediately the sound of the fire alarm could be heard, and he heard everyone inside of the hospital suddenly started to move.

"Just give up already, you can not win!" The gravelly voice yelled over the sound of the fire alarm.

Harry noticed Chloe, Max and Kate sneaking out of the room towards the other people in the back.

"We need your help, those things have got the only way out of this ward on lockdown, the only way I can think of to get out is by use of the windows, but as most of you know, we are on the second floor, it's too high to jump out of, so we need to make a ladder using our blankets, can any of you help?" Chloe asked to the group still cowering.

"Harry, do you think you can hold them?" Max asked Harry from the back.

"I can if I find out how, I don't know why but nothing I've tried till now has worked against them, bullets just fade in, physical contact only slows them down momentarily…" Harry shouted back, as he ducked underneath another psythe.

As he did he remembered what he was. "right… magic…"

Both of his wands immediately flew into his hand.

"What do you think you're doing? Those sticks won't help you fight those things at all!" one of the stronger nurses stood in front of the group making a blanked rope, keeping an eye out in case the weird bulletproof things decided they were worth their attention, shouted at Harry.

"It may." Harry yelled back, before firing a banisher to one of the being in front of him, it immediately flew back and through the door into the main hallway, where it splashed against the receptionists desk.

"That seems to do the trick." Harry muttered to himself, he was actually quite surprised, as he slowly moved back a bit to create some room between the beings and himself, at the same time enabling him to better cover the group behind him.

"How long do you need?" Harry asked as he saw the being that splashed into the desk reshaping to its former form.

"A few more minutes, how long can you hold?" Chloe asked Harry, completely ignoring the hysteria of the people around her at seeing harry use two sticks to launch someone over 20 meters.

"As long as you need." Harry said, far more confident now that he had seen he would be able to at least keep the things back using his magic.

Harry started firing as many spells at the things as he could, throwing them back, cutting them in half, exploding them.

As Harry looked back he saw the last of the people trapped behind him leave through the window, whilst both Max and Chloe stood looking towards him.

"What are you waiting for?" Harry asked them.

"We are waiting for you." Max yelled back.

Only now he noticed how calm the two were.

"Why aren't you two freaked out about the fact I can use magic?" Harry asked the two, before blowing another one of the things sky high.

"Why should we? You are protecting us from those things." Max said.

"Have you noticed those things seem to be a kind of liquid?" Chloe asked after Max had answered Harry's question.

"How could I not notice this?" Harry wondered to himself, immediately he changed his strategy.

Instead of banishers and explosive and slicing charms, he used a freezing charm followed by a bludgeoning charm, after the first did not repair itself, he used this same strategy on 3 more before stopping and turning to the last one, who had frozen in fear by now, his back against the wall.

"Now to find out what is going on."

Harry fired a disarming charm at the man, catching the scythe and holding it against the man's throat.

"What are you?" Harry asked first.

"Please, don't kill me! I'm just following orders, please spare me!" The being begged.

"Answer my questions then!" Harry yelled at the being, the two girls moved in to closer inspect the being, now noticing the small inaccuracies, like the fact he did not have ears, or that it's mouth didn't move as it talked, the complete stillness of its eyes.

"We are water, we were sent here to get you out of the picture, and when you were gone we could restore the balance without interruption."

"Restore the balance?" Harry asked.

"Kill the mortal who failed to die." The being said, "Please, let me stay alive! I beg of you!"

"Who failed to die?" Harry asked the being, this time, it sounded far more like an order.

The creature pointed to Chloe.

Harry followed the beings finger, and his eyes widened. "You failed to die? How? No one can cheat death."

Surprisingly Max was the one to answer. "It was me who saved her last Monday."

"Explain please." Harry said, keeping the psythe pointed at the being now sat on it's knees, still begging for it's life.

"Last Monday after a stressful lesson I went to the toilets to try and calm down, I saw a butterfly flying inside, and decided to take a picture of it, after having taken it, I heard the bathroom door open and Nathan Prescott walked in, stressed as hell, he muttered to himself about being in trouble or something like that, and then Chloe walked in, they started talking, and within a minute Nathan pulled a gun out, and threatened chloe," Max paused tears were staining her eyes, " she was shot."

"It is as I tried to reach for her in helplessness that I found myself back in the lesson I was in previously" Max really was sobbing now, "I saw her get shot multiple times before I was able to activate the fire alarm in the back of the bathroom, stopping Nathan in his place, and thanks to that Chloe survived."

"You can manipulate time?" Harry asked her, "how much have you done it now?" He sounded worried.

"A lot." She sounded apologetic, in the meantime Chloe stood with her back to the conversation.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Chloe asked Max after a while of silence. "Why didn't you tell me I should have been dead?"

"I just couldn't." She said sounding apologetic through her tears.

"Is there any more I should know about?" Harry asked, his face neutral.

"There is a large storm heading this way." Max said, "now that I think about it, I think it might be connected somehow."

"I know, I dreamt about it last night." Harry said, moving back to the still cowering creature.

"You can tell the one who send you that I will be dealing with this matter, if he doesn't agree with how I deal with this, say that this is a matter only Death and I have anything to say about, as it is, he has already made a huge mistake in even thinking that he has anything to say about this matter, the next group who tries to do this will not meet as good of a fate as them." Harry said pointing to the shards of ice slowly melting on the floor throughout the hallway.

As Harry was finished talking the thing dissolve into water, and did not return.

"Now, I still have to fix a few cars for my friends who are to arrive in about one hour or so from now, I have to find out a way to stop a storm, I have to find a missing girl, I have to interrogate multiple suspects, question an entire club of children who were at a party last weekend, and now I also have to make sure the two of you stay safe from things far stronger then what should be walking this earth…" Harry sighed. "Why does my life have to be so difficult?"

As Harry said the last sentence, he was reminded of the fact, that yes, he had just used magic in front of muggles, this reminder came by a multitude of cracks.

In this same time, the entire Arcadia Bay Police Department arrived at the hospital.
