Harry Potter the God Slaying Sword
ESKK: Now let us begin shall we and what I'm about to say is simple, we are about to see the Harry and a new friend receive their Hogwarts Letters get supplies (With plot point hints dropped here and there) and most of all the meeting of the nemesis and Golden Trio so let us begin this epic shall we.
Disclaimer: I do not own Demonbane or Harry Potter so get on with your lives.
Authors Note: No I won't do any major Ecchi stuff so those who are asking for it you need to get out more. Also another thing you should all know I am still unsure on the pairings as of yet as so far I'm leaning torts Harry x Al Azif. Now let's start the fanfic here everyone!
(Start Morning #4 Pivot Drive)
Harry was sleeping in his bedroom as he began to arouse from his slumber. As he got up he yawned and stretched a bit as cracking his bones back into place. Though his slumber had aroused the newest resident of the house for about a year as she got up as well as Al Azif seemed to have bed hair problems and looked like she was still half asleep. As Al got up Harry looked at her and saw her head was covered in bed hair as his Aunt Petunia had of course nearly yelled at him for bringing her home after the incident with Demonbane a year back. But of course the Marauder Organization compensated her for her troupes under the agreement she is treated well and not as a slave or glorified servant and that they would perform surprise inspections to make sure that Harry and Al are kept at top health.
Needless to say when Petunia saw the check the two can have the whole house for all she cared. But of course legal bureaucratic rubbish got in the way so as of now Harry and Al had to share a bedroom. As Harry got up though he yawned as Al got off her bed which was a sort of Slime Monster as Harry had to admit the blob looked soft to lay on. Harry got up as well and saw a vanity mirror and saw his body had built up muscles to allow him to better utilize the powers of a Magius especially after he was explained on the reason a year ago by Daphne Greengrass the Heir to the Wizarding House of Greengrass making her nobility.
(Flashback 2 Days after Demonbane first Sortie 1 Year ago)
Harry and Al were in a debriefing room inside a mansion that acted as the secret base of operations and headquarters for the Marauders Organization with possible expansions in the work to other Countries and Wizarding Communities. "Ok you deserve an explanation but I can't reveal everything right now." Daphne began as she the cleared her throat. "Now 9 years ago the Dark Lord Voldemort was defeated as no one knew how but he was just gone. But trust me it goes beyond that see before the Potter Family went into hiding Lily and James Potter discovered the remains of Demonbane and Lily Potter proved herself as the brightest Witch of her time if not years ahead of her time when she figured out and cracked the ancient magic and technology to revived Demonbane." Daphne said as Al was quiet.
"Now when she did this though she came into contact with the Magical Core of the Universe which she dubbed Arkham and there she learned that even when Voldemort was destroyed it was a vicious cycle that another would simply take his place. But more so that there she found something a whole lot of somethings, they were what inspired the stories by H.P. Lovecraft, the Eldritch Abominations and Elder Gods. There we learned their existence and when Lily revived Demonbane together she and James created the Marauder Organization to compact any future Dark Lords with a combination of Muggle Technology and Wizarding Magic to provide its operatives a fighting chance and act as the first and last line of defense against powerful Dark Wizards and the Eldritch Gods and Demonbane was to be the one to lead the charge against said Dark Elder Gods." Daphne said as she then rubbed her eyes. "This entire Organization has been running on donations and funding from the Longbottom Family (Al Snickers) and my family the Greengrass and it's just helping if not barely even with the Potters Secret Vault sending money as needed through Gringotts." Daphne said as she then rubbed her eyes a bit. "Due to the fact that the Minister Fudge won't acknowledge the possibility of another Dark Lord or even Voldemort's possible return happening we are literally forced to use said secret funding and work in the shadows." Daphne said as the Fudge guy sounds like a total moron.
"But who is Master Therion anyway?" Harry asked after raising his hand as those Black Lodge guys mentioned him multiple times while chasing him and Al which made him wonder who the guy was.
"Master Therion he's a worst case scenario for our group." Daphne said as she sat down and showed pictures which showed only shadow images of Master Therion with a girl accompanying him which showed she was in the same state of shadows. "These are the best images we could get before the scouts were killed but they have made confirmation, Master Therion is more powerful then Voldemort could ever hope to be, After Voldemort's demise Master Therion amassed his legion of Followers from both the Muggle World and the Wizarding World which he had called the Black Lodge." Daphne explained as she showed images of the same men in suits and masks some wielding guns other wands showing Therion wasn't picky about followers.
"Master Therion has contracted with Eldritch Gods which already makes him a powerful Dark Lord just by contacting them but making a successful contract with them shows he's for more powerful then led to believe. He has the title of Grandmaster and until we can get you up to par we currently have him on a Flee on Sight Order." Daphne said as she sat down after closing the folders with the pictures.
"The Minister wont acknowledge that Master Therion is real and prefers denying it till the truth is literally about to kill him. Master Therion capitalized on Fudge fear and enjoyment of a peace time Minister and had moved his pieces accordingly and used it to not only amass his followers but also build up enough to have many to spare in spreading his name among the populace of Wizarding Britain and that if he hasn't already began expanding to places like France or across the pond in America." Daphne said as she began to rub her eyes in annoyance.
"Considering you have not only formed a contract with the Grimoire Al Azif AKA the Necronomicon but you have also successfully utilized Demonbane in Arkham during its first Sortie. Though considering your age I would have had this rejected in a heartbeat but desperate times calls for desperate measures." Daphne said as she stood up and faced Harry who now felt intimidated.
"And those measures are?" Harry asked scared this place his parents had apparently founded might kill him to get Al and bind her to a different Magic User against her will which Harry may have to fight tooth and nail for to make sure Al is safe from harm.
"Please…" Daphne began as she looked to Harry. "Will you assist us in our underground war against the Black Lodge and the Eldritch Gods who will no doubt arrive once Master Therion calls to them?" Daphne requested as she got on her hands and knees showing that a pureblood was not above begging as she was entrusted with this Organization and thus had to make sacrifices for the Greater Good. So her Pride wasn't much of a sacrifice but a necessary loss to combat the threats that would no doubt abuse Arkham and use it to enter their world and destroy all of humanity as the worse outcome for all of humanity on both the Wizarding side and the Muggle side.
"Well of course we'll help." Al said as she got up. "Besides you all clearly don't know what you're doing and if we don't fight who will." Al said as she played a part for a girl who didn't really care. "Besides it's not like I have anything better to do so it's not for any of you and it's only if Harry wants to help you all." Al said as she scratched her nose a bit showing she might actually care more then she lets on which Harry could see as clear as day.
"Ok… I'll help you all if only to make sure no one will get hurt because I didn't act." Harry said as he wasn't going to let people get hurt and he honestly wanted to stop Master Therion because a guy like that, was just plain out evil with how he carries about his plans.
"Thank you." Daphne thanked a she smiled to Harry.
(Flashback Over)
After that between school, home, and his friend Joseph Harry had undergone physical training as well as learning how Demonbane works and in turn becoming an Agent of the Marauders Organization for his parent's sake and the sake of everyone alive on Earth. During this Harry had been deployed on 'Assignments,' and had gained a variety of spells that belonged to Al from the Scimitar of Barzai and the Mirror of Nictoris as well as two powerful guns which were a pain to use at first but he got the hang of them in the end.
As Harry was knocked out of his memory he soon heard a tap from his window just as Al walked in yawning as she stretched all ready for the day. "I will say it again you humans really know how to use a water heater." Al said as she walked in and stretched.
"Al… why is there an Owl at our Window?" Harry asked as Al saw it was gesturing to the mail box.
"I think we got the morning mail." Al said as Harry nodded.
"Al can you get the mail then I'll go take a shower." Harry said as he'd rather be bright eyed and awake if it's a message from Daphne but that wasn't her normal Owl since it's normally the Owls they send in case they need to see him about some minor stuff. Its normally a phone call to the Cellphone they provided him, or one of those blue smoke animals if it's an emergency he needs to handle that can't be hold off for any reason period.
After Harry finished his bathroom routine he walked downstairs in the new cloths he had been wearing and had half expected Petunia his Aunt to be making breakfast. The odd part was that Petunia after Vernon's heart attack had tried to earn more money and thanks to Joseph had gotten an accounting job at Joseph's fathers company. In fact Petunia had gotten a few promotions in the past 3 years and is already earning more than Vernon did but it had required her to gain weight and when she worked on her Garden to help the boys with their chores a bit Petunia had opted to gain to weight to help her as opposed to Dudley losing Weight.
Now Harry won't lie and say he likes them now but in the past three years they have become a bit more like family and in the end Harry had Joseph to thank for that for indirectly causing this change in them. As Harry came down he saw Al was looking through the mail while she passed the letters to whoever they belonged to.
Such letters included some from Joseph to Harry and Al with some possible people hoping to get them invested in a future as VP's for when Joseph becomes CEO after his dad retires while others were just school newsletters, and most of all the company ones is some of Dark2 Corporations employees or rivals asking for them to consider an investment that would set the two up for life. Soon they came upon two letters with Wax seals on them as Al glared at it with a calculative look.
"These are magical letters." Al said as Harry looked as he took the one addressed to him.
"To Harry Potter/Al Azif Smallest Bedroom Second Floor Number 4 Pivot Dr. Little Winnings." Harry and Al read outload as Al glared as hers said the same but with her name on it.
"Is it a trap?" Harry asked as he was hoping the Black Lodge didn't figure out where he lived as of yet.
"No I think this is what Daphne was talking about in the last debriefing." Al said as seeing as the two were Agents of the Organization which uses magical means to combat the Black Lodge and the Eldritch Beasts it stands to reason that since Harry is turning 11 soon he would receive a letter. Though Personally Al was betting a small part of her pay check that somehow either someone in the Wizarding World mistaken her for an 11 year old Child or that Daphne had a hand in this enrollment.
"Let's open them then." Harry said as Petunia saw this.
"Wait are those?" She asked as she couldn't believe it.
"Yeah Aunt Petunia they are." Harry confessed as he hoped this wasn't history repeating itself since he knew Petunia was jealous of his mother for the fact she was born with magic and Petunia wasn't.
"Fine just eat your breakfast you two and open them." Petunia said trying to be calm and supporting to them even if it left a bitter taste in her mouth and sounded more forced but at least she was trying. After all Harry didn't just lose a mother that day she lost a sister also.
Harry and Al opened the letters and began to read them together to see what it was all about and to see what Wizarding School wishes to have them as students.

(End Letter)
"Why do I get the feeling Daphne is involved with my enrollment?" Al asked as they needed to talk to Daphne about this seeing as the house fire place was modified for a real one that was sealable so Daphne can send their Wizarding Agents to Harry and Al as needed. But Al wasn't a real human so why was she able to enroll so easily then again Daphne was from a pureblood family so she must have pulled some strings and these must have been some good strings and the correct ones if Al could keep her name so easily.
"Look we should expect Daphne to show up soon so for now let's read the rest of it ok." Harry said as Al huffed and as breakfast was served the two continued to read wondering if this was either some sort of assignment for the Marauder Organization or bureaucratic legal crap that they didn't need to deal with or legal law suits since Harry was involved in which none of them needed there Organization to be discovered and in turn shut down by Minister Fudge.

"Aunt Petunia we may be expecting guests later today." Harry began catching Petunia's attention. "They're the do not name or mention or else they will find you and hurt you types who normally appear in government style suits or through the Fire Place." Harry said as Petunia saw where this was going. "Are you expecting any guests today or expect any chores from me and Al?" Harry asked as Petunia sighed to herself as Harry's own Paycheck with those secretive government types (Who she assumes aren't the legal type either) has earned more of the bread in this house so she had to provide leeway when it comes to work plus she did not want to be another missing person case on the morning news like other people.
"Don't worry your schedules are clear for the day after all I plan on taking Dudley to the Zoo for his birthday… though I'd hope you would have joined us Harry." Petunia said making another attempt at family bonding.
"Maybe… another time Aunt Petunia." Harry said as he saw his aunt looked like how his mother would with the weight gain she had undergone as to help her physical strength for gardening and her job.
(Scene Break Later that Day)
Harry and Al had set up some tea and snacks for their guest as he figured if Daphne also received the letter she was probably off purchasing her School Supplies as well so if they had timed it right Daphne should arrive in full Commander uniform real soon. And as if on cue the Fireplace burst out in flames and from it Daphne walked through dusting off the particles from the Fire Place and then stood up straight trying to look as her rank.
"So I guess you got the 'Acceptance Letter,' also?" Harry asked as he showed his as Daphne nodded as she sat down and took a cup of tea.
"Yes I did and before you question me yes I had pulled strings to have Al enrolled as well." Daphne said trying to be professional about this.
"Ok why?" Al asked as Daphne sighed.
"Well I was originally going to have to get major strings pulled to have it so Harry was homeschooled but not only would that cause more trouble in the long run but also miss out for us a perfect opportunity." Daphne said as Harry was confused.
"What kind of opportunities?" Harry asked as Daphne looked.
"Well Hogwarts is Britain's premier Wizarding School among the top 10 Schools in the world of magic. So of course children from influential families will attend and if we make nice with them we can be able to provide ourselves with not only new recruits but also more funding to now only develop our technology but also create better weapons to combat the Black Lodge and the Eldritch Gods, after all we did have a close call last summer with Dagon." Daphne confessed as Harry couldn't forget that one and to think that thing was one of the weakest and had mopped the floor with them all like nothing.
"Oh I see we attend and get more allies in the long run." Al said as Daphne nodded.
"Yes but the problem with this is that some of them are Death Eater Families mainly Slytherine but I will attend as well and ensure I'm a Slytherine and with this I can utilize their house and point you to the ones who are Blood Traitors, muggle Born children, or simply those who are conflicted with the Death Eater Blood Purity." Daphne said as she took a sip of her tea.
"Ok but where do I fall in on all of this?" Al asked as she wanted her answers as to why she had to be enrolled.
"Simple and obvious the threat of the Black Lodge is still there and with what Last Summer Taught us is that they have the means to summon Eldritch Gods to our world thus we must be ready at all times which means you and Harry need to stick close together otherwise we'll be caught by surprise or as the Yankees say be caught with our pants down." Daphne said as Harry got the analogy there.
"So in other words we're going to have to be students at a Wizarding School then?" Harry asked as Daphne nodded.
"Yes and Al remember." Daphne began as Al was about to protest. "I'm your commanding officer thus this is a required assignment for both of you from the higher ups as we will also work on keeping anyone from joining the Black Lodge as well since if my guts are right then the Black Lodge will try their hand at recruitment as well and the more members they have the harder it will be to keep this war underground." Daphne said as she knew by making it harder they make Fudge more paranoid and scared while also intent of denying the truth even further.
"Gauh FINE!" Al yelled as she got up and stormed off as Harry gave Daphne an apologetic look.
"Sorry Commander Greengrass I think she isn't too fond of going to school seeing as she's a book and all." Harry confessed as Daphne nodded to him.
"Yes I believe the Muggles called her type a 'Tsunadere?" Daphne said as it sounded foreign to her.
"Yes that exactly what it is." Harry said as he had seen his fair share of anime with Joseph and Dudley.
"Anyway I must be off please make sure Al replies to the owl so we may begin this process." Daphne said as Harry nodded as he soon heard Al roaring in fury with the sound of things breaking upstairs. "I do pity you though." Daphne said before she took out her Floo Powder and took her leave. "Marauder Organization Headquarters." Daphne said as she entered and vanished in a burst of green flames back to HQ.
"Well might as well get this over with." Harry said knowing full well how oppositional Al will be to things she doesn't like or feel the need to do which includes things she thinks are stupid for a Grimoire to do that would seem normal on an everyday normal human.
(Later)
Harry found Al in the room writing her response as she was using a quill she conjured up to make it seem legit as she sighed to herself and glared. "Don't look to deep into it ok Harry I'm only doing this for the missions sake and adding more tools to our arsenal to combat the Black Lodge and to help us combat the old ones if they appear again after Dagon last summer.
Harry smiled and took his own pen and began to write his response as well. "Yeah I understand." Harry said as he wrote down how he and Al needed a guide to get there supplies and such and they would be glad to attend their school.
Harry smiled before his cell phone rang as he grabbed it an answered after seeing it was Joseph calling him from his own phone. "Hey Joseph." Harry said as Joseph was heard.
"Bloody Hell Harry you would not believe what landed in my room!" Joseph called out in joy as Harry smiled.
"Let me guess and owl with a letter for a place called Hogwarts?" Harry asked as Joseph cheered a bit.
"Yeah it looks like we'll be classmates." Joseph said as Harry looked.
"Yeah you'll be there to get me out of trouble." Harry said as Joseph smiled.
"And you'll be there to get me INTO trouble." Joseph said as no doubt Joseph was the brains in their marry band of friends.
"Anyway Joseph is that girl you talk about also magical?" Harry asked as he talked to Joseph.
"Don't know yet we'll have to wait and see when she calls me or we see her." Joseph said as it sounded almost like Joseph already knew.
"Anyway I'll have to talk to you later Al is getting a bit peeved." Harry said as Al began getting peeved even though she knew Harry said it as a joke and if he needs to hang up.
"Harry take good care of Al ok, she's worth the trouble I can already tell." Joseph said as that almost sounded… cryptic at best. "Anyway I'll see you soon my father wants me to have a guide to this, Daigon Alley place and had me reply the owl to have a guide." Joseph said as Harry nodded.
"Already see you Joseph." Harry said to his best friend in the world as it was thanks to Joseph that things had turned out better in his life so in a way Harry owed Joseph a whole lot.
(With Joseph)
Joseph put his phone down as a girl was in the shadows reading one of H.P. Lovecraft's books. "So are we going to Hogwarts?" She asked as Joseph nodded almost coldly.
"Yes we are." Joseph said as the girl nodded as she held her own letter.
"She still doesn't sense me." She said as Joseph had his hand on his phone on the table.
"I know." Joseph said as the room was dark as opposed to his common bright cheerful world.
"You know I'm sure your mother is proud of you and so if your father." The girl said sadly as Joseph smirked as if he found the father part humorous.
"Which father was it again?" Joseph asked as the girl then left the room leaving Joseph alone in his room to contemplate and think to himself and what was to come.
(Scene Break a few weeks later)
Harry was in the living room as he and Al had gone over there plans as of now as they both agreed with Daphne it would be best that Harry and Al are in different houses from Daphne to keep suspicion off of them. From what Harry heard anyway Gryphondor was right up his ally as with Al Azif since both of them tend to jump first and figure out the landing strategy later.
As they had everything figured out they soon heard a load knocking on the door as Harry smile as on his phone was a text from Joseph which he replied to. "Happy birthday Joseph." Harry said as today was their birthday and they agreed after they get their school supplies they would celebrate their shared birthday party as it was no secret in there group that Harry and Joseph share a day of birth which causes them to celebrate their birthday together almost like siblings.
Harry and Al then walked over to the door as they had received a response telling them a representative would arrive to pick them up to retrieve their School Supplies. Once they opened the door they were met with a rather large man with a burley beard as both Harry and Al would compare this guy to a younger and taller Santa Clause.
"Ello 'arry." The large man greeted as he then looked to Al. "And ya must be Al." The man greeted as Harry nodded.
"Yes I'm Harry, Harry Potter." Harry greeted as he decided he already like this guy with how naturally friendly he was and how nice he was being.
"I know last I saw ya ye was barely two since I dropped ya off here. I'm Hagrid by the way." Hagrid greeted as Harry nodded.
"It's nice to meet you Hagrid." Harry greeted as he looked to the Half Giant as Al already knew how Half Giants are being an ancient mystical book granting incredible magical power to those she contracts with such as her most recent master Harry right here.
"I heard about ya uncle real shame." Hagrid said as Harry gave a kind smile.
"It's no problem I had a friend who helped me through it." Harry said as even though Vernon was a magic hating asshole to him he was still his uncle.
"Anyway come long now the other two are waiting outside." Hagrid said as Harry and Al looked and saw Joseph there wearing a black jacket with a white shirt under it, a pair of jeans, and a pair of black sneakers. With him was a girl with a hair band in her hair the same age as what Al looks as she had ebony black hair and a yellow sun dress that made her look adorable.
"Elisa, Joseph!" Harry greeted as Al smiled at the two as she was friends with them after all.
"Hey Harry we share a guide!" Joseph called out with a smile on his face as he ran over to Harry.
"Yeah it's great." Harry said with a smile on his face as Joseph smirked.
"Ok then one 3?" Joseph asked as Harry smiled.
"1." Harry began as Al covered her ears.
"2." Joseph said as Elisa smiled while Hagrid was curios of the two who apparently knew each other.
"3." They both said before they let it out. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY/JOSEPH!" They both called out to each other as Hagrid was caught off guard as it seems Joseph shared a birthday with Harry even though they came from different parents.
"Well then best head to Daigon Alley theirs a place we can access it called Daigon Alley so I'll take you all there." Hagrid said as Harry agreed to that one as Joseph smiled to this as well. But as the two left Joseph smiled faded for a bit before it returned and he followed them intent of keeping his friends as Elisa followed close behind them no doubt wanting her supplies before the term starts and they need to wait a whole year for the next term to start.
(Scene Break Downtown London that afternoon)
Luckily they didn't have a long walk as they were making their way to this pub which people were outright ignoring but in fact they could not see it. Al saw the place was charmed to be invisible to the none magical folks at least that was what they say but in truth these charms were to hide them from those who view magic as evil or don't believe in magic outright which Al saw how it could lead to misconceptions there.
If one were to ask how she knew though she would answer, because she's a thousand year old book who has centuries of knowledge under her belt. Of course people would either think her crazy or laugh at her thinking she was joking around with them not that Al would blame them just be very annoyed with them for their rude laughter.
As the group of five entered Joseph looked around as Elisa walked up to him and grabbed his shoulder as she smiled with her head next to his before she continued to walk way. Joseph looked and saw a man in a turban as Al also saw the man as she glared at the man.
Al looked to Harry before she 'shyly,' ran up to him and began to whisper to him. "Don't trust that man with the turban I sense a darkness from him, he's not who he says he is." Al whispered as whatever was on this man it was trying to avoid death like it was a plague becoming something inhuman clearly not an Elder God though because even though wouldn't be that fearful of dying to such a large extent as this darkness.
Hagrid then walked up to the bar and looked to the bar keep. "Hagrid," The Barman began as he looked to Hagrid. "The Usual I presume?" He asked as it seem Hagrid frequented here.
"Not this time, Tom." Hagrid began as he placed a hand on Harry's shoulder and Al's head while Joseph smirked with his best friend while Elisa stayed close to Joseph. "Official Hogwarts Business, you see. Just takin' young Harry Potter, Al Azif, Joseph Theo, and Elisa Script to buy their School supplies." Hagrid said as it was soon met with absolute silence as people were shocked.
"I don't like where this is going." Joseph said as the silence made him unnerved.
"I don't think we're in any real danger Joseph." Elisa said as Al sighed.
'And now these two learn Harry is a celebrity in the Wizarding World. Damn Hero worships.' Al thought in annoyance at the sound of whispering about Harry Potter as Joseph looked to Harry.
"Harry what did you do?" Joseph asked as Elisa looked around.
"I didn't do anything to them!" Harry countered as he looked to Joseph.
"Their acting like Harry is some sort of celebrity." Elisa said as she looked at to the whispering people around them talking about Harry.
It wasn't long till the group was surrounded but Joseph then saw they were all shaking Harry's hand and asking millions of questions while Harry tried to be nice and polite to answer each and every one of them to the best of his abilities.
'It must have something to do with the soul fragment I removed from Harry a year ago.' Al thought as the scar on Harry's head had healed and faded a bit but the shape was still there and still very noticeable which was the result of dealing with a horrible form of, dark magic as the scar was the left over side effect which made Harry noticeable to people. 'Ok first things first find a magical map so I can use the Fragment at HQ to help locate the other fragments.' Al thought as she knew it wasn't Master Therion's work at all he's far too bored and complacent to try his hand at immortality not when he has the aid of the Eldritch Gods.
The meet and greet was starting to get on Al's nerves as she crossed her arms and began to tap her finger on her arm. But the more these people talk the more it managed to get her angry and she was older then all of them combined. Al then had enough and roared out causing her magic to burst out knocking some people back as Harry was shocked by this as was Joseph.
"Don't you idiots know it was Lily who protected Harry from Moldy Worts and not Harry's own magical, 'talent,' you bunch of hero worship idiots!" Al exploded as she released that burst of magic as she wasn't exactly easy on keeping a lid on her. When Al realized what she did though she went wide eyed and saw the damage as she had two things to say. "Uh… oops." Al said as that was a bad way to start making allies and they weren't even at the school yet. 'I've just done screwed up big time.' Al thought as she was told by Daphne how the Daily Prophet will eat this up in a heartbeat.
"Um… sorry about her she has a temper when large groups of people talk too much." Harry apologized as Al smiled nervously.
"Yeah sorry about that accidental magic I really hope I didn't hurt anyone." Al apologized as she was thinking of ways this will backfire at Hogwarts in the Daily Prophet which is just either worshiping or total slander on someone who didn't even deserve such things happening.
Harry of course ended up meeting Professor Quarrel the fours "Defense against the Dark Arts," teacher as he was wary of Al as Al was on to him like nothing when she sensed the dark Magic on him and saw through his stuttering mess of a persona. No doubt he wasn't telling them everything so Al and Harry will keep their cards close to their chest for now to see who makes the first move.
Eventually the four left out the back as Joseph was smiling at his childhood friend. "No way Harry! You're famous just by walking in!" Joseph cheered as the two birthday boys laughed a bit. "Just think of it we'll get all the ladies." Joseph joked around as Al sighed.
"Boys." Al said as they headed to the brick wall.
"Yeah… boys." Elisa said as she didn't like how Joseph had said that so casually by the looks of her face painted with jealousy at Joseph.
Hagrid then took out the Fire Place Umbrella and then tapped around the brick wall as to three out of the fours shock the walls began to split appear to reveal a large hole leading into a large alleyway as the wall turned into an archway path.
"Wow." Harry said as Joseph was also amazed.
"Ditto." Joseph said as he was shocked at what he saw here.
"My word." Elisa said as she was in shock at this scene before them.
'Meh I've seen better.' Al thought as she looked at the alleyway before them in full view of their sight as three of them here were socked and amazed at what was showing before their eyes.
It looked like they had traveled back in time as the people there seemed medieval in clothing as this was better then what Harry and Al dealt with on a day to day bases against the Black Lodge and training with the Marauders Organization since no one was trying to hurt or kill them right now. "Welcome to Daigon alley." Hagrid welcomed as the four soon entered as Hagrid began to give Harry and his friend the rundown on Daigon Alley such as where to find things and where they can get their supplies and what not. All in all Al had seen many places like this in her time but Harry was new to it all as was Joseph and Elisa.
"Hey Hagrid I need to ask but where can I get the money to pay for my supplies I don't have any Wizard Money and I didn't bring my credit card to have the money I have in the Muggle World transferred if they do that of course?" Harry asked as they couldn't just make money rain from the sky.
"Well I can see if I can have my father's money transferred into their banks here since I brought my credit card and if they do such a transfer then we can use that." Joseph said as he did come from a rich and well off family in the muggle community after all. As they walked they passed by some kids looking at a broom being displayed which was called a Nimbus 2000.
"Well that would be a good idea for you Joseph but Harry your money is over there." Hagrid said as he pointed to the large white marble building down the road from them. "Gringotts Wizard Bank ain't no safer place no way, well except maybe Hogwarts." Hagrid said as Al scoffed.
'Or Headquarters.' Al said as the four began to enter the bank.
(Inside Gringotts)
The four entered the place as Harry looked amazed at this as Joseph then cleared his throat. "I'll go get my money transferred and open a Vault while I'm at it Elisa want to come with?" Joseph flirted as Elisa nodded.
"Of course hopefully we can get a head start on our supply shopping since Harry apparently has money here already." Elisa said as Joseph smiled.
"I'll just use Harry's money." Al said as she figured her creator may not have had a Vault set up here but she quickly took noticed to how the older looking Goblins were looking at her and whispering amongst themselves. 'Hate to break it to you midgets but the gestures your making is universal.' Al mentally growled as it was one thing when she talked behind peoples back it was whole other thing when they do it to her.
As they walked they arrived at an old Goblin who was writing with a quill as Hagrid cleared his throat as the Goblin looked to Hagrid with a calculative glare. "Mr. Potter would like to make a Withdrawal." Hagrid said as the Goblin then stood up and looked down and saw both Harry Potter and Al there as he was wide eyed at Al for a moment.
"Before we proceed is that young girl there named Al Azif by any chance?" The Goblin asked as Hagrid looked surprised.
"Yes sir, she is." Hagrid said trying to be polite which served to slightly annoy the Goblin.
"We were entrusted with a key by her 'ancestor,' fate seer and Magical Artifact maker Abdul Alhazred saying that his last descendant was to be given his vault and all the money inside it." The Goblin said as Harry was shocked. "According to the family tree he left behind, she as of now is the last living descendant." The Goblin explained as Al knew that was a lie because her creator Abdul was a Wizard more powerful the Merlin since he combated the Elder Gods. If Al had to guess he and the other Grimoires creators must have left their creations a large sum of money and resources under a guise of sorts with a select few knowing the truth.
"I see, um thank you have it brought to me immediately but you better not lose it that's my great grandfather's entire life savings. Lose it and there will be blood to pay." Al said as she tried to play the part knowing her creator must have had some reason of leaving the money with Gringotts especially after the Goblin uprising which won the Goblins the Wizarding Worlds entire Economic world with the banks they now can access. But she also knew that the Goblins were warriors to the very core and wanted the respect of warriors by being met with equal or greater strength which how she acted surprised Hagrid there.
"I will have the key fetched for you Ms. Azif but now for the original matter of this visit." The Goblin said as he glared down upon Harry. "Does Mr. Harry Potter have his key?" The Goblin asked as he looked down upon Harry who simply looked up at the Goblin with higher ground then him and Al.
"Oh wait a minute." Hagrid began as he knocked himself out of his shocked stupor of Al's act there and shock with how the Goblin seemed to enjoy how the girl acted there. "I got it here somewhere." Hagrid said as he looked on his person for the Vault key in question to Harry's Vault. "Hah." Hagrid began as he pulled out a Gold Key. "There's the little devil!" Hagrid said happy to find it. "Oh there's something else as well, Professor Dumbledore gave me this." Hagrid said pulling out a red stamped letter showing the letter in question was very urgent since it came from Professor Albus Dumbledore himself as the Goblin took the envelope. "It's about the, you know what, in Vault, you know which." Hagrid said as Harry was confused but Al was concerned as if they were keeping it a secret it may very well be a powerful Magical Artifact at the least or at best which may become a worst case scenario a powerful Grimoire that was sealed away. But if the latter of which is the case then why seal it away and why let it out now after all this time.
(With Joseph)
"Hi there." Joseph said to a Bank Teller that was available as the Goblin glared down at him.
"Can I help you?" The Teller asked as Joseph smirked.
"I'll be blunt first off do you guys have access to Muggle world banks?" Joseph asked as he pulled out his credit card showing what he meant.
"Yes we do sir." The Goblin said as he saw Joseph was showing him absolutely no fear what so ever.
"Good, then I want to open a Vault and transfer 25% of my total bank accounts into the Vault and turn it into the Wizard Equivalent of money here its straight from my father's accounts so be sure he's informed why a huge withdrawal was done. If he doesn't get informed when I get in trouble for it I'll be sure to hunt the idiot down who didn't inform him and stab his head at the front with the spear right through his neck with the body still attached." Joseph said as he smirked at the Goblin who was surprised at the threat that one warrior would make to another.
"Yes anything else?" He asked as he was liking this guy already.
"Yeah I want the Vault to blood locked to me and those who are 'contracted,' to me." Joseph said as he motioned to Elisa who smiled as her eyes glowed as the Goblin nodded.
"Very well then, I will need a blood sample so we may go over who has access to your vault." The Goblin said as Joseph presented his hand. "Cut away my friend and don't be afraid to cut deep if you don't value your life that is." Joseph said as he knew warriors when he saw them.
The Goblin smirked and cut Joseph's finger enough to draw blood as the blood landed into a waiting water bowl. After a brief spell it showed Joseph's family tree. "Joseph Theo mother Nero, father…" The Goblin began to read as Joseph glared.
"Don't finish hat I already know enough right now my mother Nero has access to my account but I want to be informed immediately if or when she accesses it." Joseph said as the Goblin nodded as he took the credit card to begin to process.
"Anything else?" The Goblin asked as Joseph then looked to around before looking to the Goblin.
"Yes one more thing but I prefer it to be kept tight lipped and secretive." Joseph said as he looked to the Goblin with a glare saying if he spilled to any untrustworthy all those involved will suffer.
"Very well then Joseph." The Goblin said getting the memo as he might actually be a bit scared of Joseph especially when he saw who his father was.
(Back with Hagrid, Harry, and Al)
Their first stop was of course Harry's vault as with this vault Harry can finally see if his parents were truly worthless, criminal, drunkards like Vernon said, or people caught in a cruel world that takes more than gives like what Petunia had said. Al saw for Harry this was closure to what Vernon had said about his parents and Al felt when Harry found the truth he will get closure to it in the end.
The soon arrived at the Vault in question as the Goblin stopped the cart. "Vault 687." The Goblin said as Harry was shocked at such a large tunnel system as Al was impressed the Goblins got bigger tunnels now than they did a century ago. The Goblin got out as he looked to Hagrid as he needed something. "Lamp Please." The Goblin asked as Hagrid grabbed the Lamp and passed it to the Goblin as the group of three got off and followed the Goblin to the Vault door. "Key please." The Goblin asked as Hagrid then took the lamp off the goblin and handed him the door, as the look creature turn back to the vault turn, move a hidden hatch with it seems many key hold to fit into it with one being the correct one or the master key, as the goblin put in Harry's vault key and turn it, the door became unlock to the sound of a huge metal click and then gears started to move as the door started to open.
Inside as the doors open a gold shine came and to the look, a small mountain of gold show before Harry as Harry was shocked at it all as Al was impressed to say the least. Hagrid look down to harry as he said, "Didn't think your mom and dad wouldn't leave you with nothing, did you?"
(Later at another Vault)
"Vault 555." The Goblin said as Al was waiting to see her creators Vault as she saw the heavy runes and seals on it as Al passed the key to the Goblin who then inserted the key into a port and ran his claw down the door as well. Soon the door began to glow as a seal vanished and it began to open to reveal a bright light inside as inside was an entire mountain of Gold as Al was shocked.
"Wow." Harry said as he was shocked.
"Abdul was a very famous and powerful Wizard so he amassed a fortune equal to his feats. Some even claimed he was the second coming of Merlin before he vanished." The Goblin said as Al looked around.
"Ok just need enough for my supplies and we'll be gone." Al said as seeing as she was immortal she didn't need much for money but the coins did help her in the long run of her eternal life and mission.
Al began to grab the coins she would need like what was done with Harry's Vault before the trio took there leave to find the item Hagrid needed to grab.
(Later still)
"Vault 713." He Goblin said as they arrived at the mentioned vault and disembarked.
"Hmm some really strong seals here what's here Hagrid?" Al asked as she didn't sense a dormant Grimoire here but it could be the defenses keeping the Grimoire sealed.
"Can't tell you two Hogwarts business, very secretive." Hagrid said as Al only gets once chance to find out as the Black Lodge may try and use it for their own gain or worse Master Therion may use it for his own amusement with the power it may hold.
"Stand Back." The Goblin warned as he then ran his claw down the door causing the gears to shift and in turn open the Vault Door. Inside the room was a small brown fabric bag to which Hagrid walked up to it and took the bag in question as Al and Harry saw this as Hagrid was very serious right now.
"Best not to mention this to anyone you two." Hagrid said as Al was so mentioning it to Headquarters first chance she gets as the same could be said for Harry when it comes to HQ's command staff and the Research and Development science/magi division.
(Later Outside)
"Well look who's all done with the bank." Joseph said as he looked to his friends. "So ready for supplies Harry?" Joseph asked as he looked to Harry.
"Yeah we need to buy supplies soon." Joseph said as Elisa raised her hand.
"Maybe we should split up to cover more ground." Elisa said as she looked. "One of us can get the books, another one of us can get our robes, another one can get the minor stuff like cauldrons, and finally whoever finishes there's can get there wands." Elisa said as Hagrid looked at them.
"If you can point us to the Wand Store I think we'll be safe to roam." Harry said as Hagrid saw no harm there.
"Ok then off with ye I still got a little something to do anyway." Hagrid said as everyone split up.
"I'll get the books." Harry said as Joseph looked.
"I'll get the robes." Joseph said as Elisa looked.
"I will accompany since me and Al are basically the same size." Elisa said as the same could be said for Josepha and Harry.
"I'll get the cauldrons and that shit then." Al said as covering more ground will make shopping for them far easier. 'Plus I have information inside me on how to make a wand specifically an Elder Wand with magic alone so simply put I'm saving money.' Al thought as she knew no want in existence can handle nor channel the power of the Necronomicon the world's greatest Grimoire in all existence.
(Later with Harry Book Store)
Harry was walking around Diagon Ally as he was heading to the bookstore to pick up his books as he wondered about. As he walked though he soon happened about an odd bookstore that Hagrid never pointed out before as Harry finally noticed it there. It looked ominous as well as deserted as Harry felt very unnerved by this particular store here but at the same time he couldn't help but want to enter said store in question as if he was being drawn in.
"I suppose simple browsing wouldn't hurt." Harry said as he then entered the store unaware of the eldritch symbol on the door as even though Harry was meant to fight Eldritch Beings he didn't know all of their symbols that identify them and their cults.
(Inside the Store)
Harry was amazed as inside were many books most of which Harry swore may have never been seen before or were as ancient as time itself. As Harry walked around he couldn't help but be amazed as he even saw a book in a cage with teeth but it was whimpering almost like it was scared of something inside the store. As Harry walked he looked around as he was exploring hoping to find the Hogwarts books he needed for his friends.
Unaware to him a woman smirked as when Harry walked passed it a woman walked out of the books as she was dressed in an outfit that seemed off in the Wizarding World. "You…" She greeted surprising Harry to no end with how she appeared out of nowhere without so much of a pop. "Are you looking for something?" The pale skinned, red eyed, large breasted woman asked as he black hair was done up in the oddest of tails.
"Y-yes, school text books for me and my friends." Harry said as he looked to the mysterious woman who wears glasses much like him but held an air of mystery about him.
"Well if you like, I'll help you find the books in question." The woman said as she walked over to Harry as Harry saw she was much taller than he was by a margin as her figure was one super models themselves would kill for and never look back at the dark deed. The woman then bowed as bit showing some cleavage as she looked to Harry with a playful smile that felt very Dark to Harry yet also welcoming at the same time which was odd itself. "Excuse me, I didn't introduce myself." The woman apologized as Harry realized he didn't learn her name. "I'm the owner of this bookstore. My name is… just call me Nya." She said introduced as she smiled at Harry. "Thank you for your patronage Harry Potter." Nya said as Harry wasn't surprised the woman knew who he was.
"H-hi." Harry said as he found this woman both attractive, scary, and welcoming all in one strange form.
"So, what are you looking for? If you need Text Books then surly you must have a list of the books that is required reading do you not?" Nya asked as she looked like she already knew what they were.
"Here." Harry said handing her the list of books as Nya looked upon said list in question and smiled. "Well this is a letdown, Childs play in my opinion not at all difficult… like finding a powerful, magical Grimoire." Nya said as she turned to the side and smirked at Harry surprising Harry she knew what a Grimoire was which shouldn't be right since Daphne confirmed the Wizarding world had no clue what the Grimoire were exactly which was odd.
"Wait what did you say?" Harry asked as Nya smiled.
"Oh don't you see, worry when you run a bookstore for a longtime like, I have, you learn all kinds of books people are after. Especially those who are after Grimoire… they're quiet unique. But there are even books I don't possess and Grimoires as one such books." Nya said as she smiled. "If memory serves I believe there was three other customers I've seeking a Grimoire as well, James Potter and Lily Evans were two of such customers and the last one before them was Tom Marvello Riddle Jr." Nya said as Harry knew who two of them were but the last one was a new name even for him as he never heard of a Tom Riddle before.
Nya walked to the side and pulled a book out as Harry swore that was a Grimoire but it was dormant by a margin as Harry saw Nya may have been lying and not even bothering to hide the fact she was lying. This all the more made Harry weary of her like she wasn't who she appears to be but the aura of a welcoming lady Store owner was tempted him to drop his guard as was winning out. "I can retrieve those books for you if you wish, if I'm to guess there are four of you in all counting you which means you will need four sets in total for you all to have." Nya said as Harry nodded as he wanted to be done here fast.
"Very well if you would just wait a moment I will retrieve those books for you." Nya said before the librarian lady left to retrieve the books in question for Harry who was left to roam and wait a bit. Harry looked at some of the books in question as he figured he should subscribe to the Daily Prophet as even though the news story is either glorifying in some way or slander it still held truth inside the pages in some way shape or form. As Harry waited though he soon saw the books and saw many of them were filled with magic which made Harry a bit warry of them as hanging around Al for a whole year allowed him to build up a sort of sensory for Grimoires and few magical items. As Harry waited it wasn't long till Nya returned with the books in question as she held the books all stacked in fours as they were all tied by a rope as Harry looked upon them. "Here you go Mr. Potter the books for you and your little friends." Nya said in a teasing manner as she handed the books to Harry. "Here you go." Harry said paying her the required money as Nya took them with a smile.
"Please come again real soon Harry and don't be afraid to bring that Grimoire of yours." Nya said as but the last part was more silent as Harry already left her store as her eyes glowed red. "Now then let's see what this incarnation of the God Slaying Sword and the Remorseless Devil shall accomplish." Nya said as she knew far more then she let on but hidden it well no doubt for years of practice.
(Later)
Harry found Al, Joseph, and Elisa waiting for him outside a place called Olivander's which was where they were supposed to get there Wands from as he saw Al admiring her new wand the same with Josepha and Elisa. "And the last horse crosses the finish line." Joseph said as he held the robes for Harry.
"Hey Joseph." Harry greeted as Joseph handed the robes as Harry looked and saw they were the right size.
"I told the lady at the robe place I was about the same measurements as you and was picking up your robes for you as a friend. When she heard I was friends with the famous Harry Potter she was all too willing to take my measurements." Joseph said as Harry smiled at Joseph.
"Well I'll go get my wand now you guys wait for me ok." Harry said as Joseph and Al smirked.
"We'll come with you, we want to see what you'll have for an awesome wand." Joseph said as he and Al followed behind closely followed by Elisa to see Harry's wand to be in hand.
(Inside the Olivander's Wand Store)
Harry walked up to the front desk and looked for a front bell but found nothing as he sighed figuring he might as well try the old fashion way. "Hello I'm here for a wand." Harry said as he waited for a reply.
Soon enough someone came ridding the side of a shelf on a rolling ladder as Harry stood on guard for a moment until he sees who it was as it was an old man with almost squinting eyes as he looks at harry for a moment before saying, "I wondered when I be seeing you Mr. potter." Harry found the man gave off the same mysterious aura as Nya but his was one he could let his guard down around since the man merely took amusement with giving wands to people who came to purchase the wands.
Mr. Olivander went to a back shelf area as he started to go search for a wand as he said, "It's seem only yesterday, your mother and father were in here buying their first wands… ah!"
Pulled out a small box and brought it over to harry as he open the box and lift out he wand inside of it before present it in front of harry as he took it in his hand and looked at it for a moment wondering what to do with it. Al of course saw Olivander try and read her but she pushed him out but he already got what he needed but didn't say so Al assumed this man was good at keeping secrets for now though as Al didn't always trust the wand wavers so easily save the Goblins since they gave her quiet the sum of money that her creator left behind for her to use. "Here we are." The old man said as he presented the Wand in question to Harry wondering what he should do with it. "Give it a wave." Olivander said as Harry understood as Al could have told him that one. Plus Harry also took noticed to a destroyed empty spot no doubt Joseph and Elisa trying their wands out there.
Harry waved the wand before the drawer in the back of the ship shot out like mad as the two of them saw this, before Harry put down the wand carefully as Olivander said, "Apparently not." As this was another day on the job for him with new Hogwarts students getting wands. Olivander look at a nearby shelf of wand boxes as he pull one out and did he same thing as he presented Harry with another wand, "Perhaps… this."
Harry took the wand and then after looking at it carefully gave it a wave causing a nearby vase to shatter. "No, no, and definitely not." Olivander said as Harry put the wand down as well.
"Well this is fun from a 3rd person perspective." Joseph said as he did bust open wall which was repairing itself mind you.
"No matter." Olivander said from the back as he had a thought. Ollivander went in the back area and look for a wand, one he made a while back, as he pull it out and then he pause for a moment before he said, "I wonder."
Harry look to him as the old man came back with a dusty looking box as he open it and presented harry with a darker color wand, as Harry took it in his hand, and soon enough a glow suddenly appeared around him, as Harry knew he wasn't summoning his armor, and the feeling of this sudden new force as Harry felt it like something else yet similar when he first received Garo.
"Curious… Very curious," Ollivander said as Harry look to the wand maker and said, "Sorry but what is curious?"
"I remember every wand I ever sold Mr. Potter." Ollivander began as he took the Wandering to examine it. "And it just so happens that the phoenix who's tail feather resides in your wand gave another feather. Just one other." He said as Harry felt like he knew where this was going in a strange way. "It is curios that you would be destined for this Wand when its brother gave you that scar." Ollivander said pointing at Harry's scar as he looked to Elisa and Al as Al glared as Elisa looked calm as if what Olivander says is true he would know he did not sell those two there wands in any way shape or form.
"And who owned that wand?" Harry asked as Olivander looked a bit scared at Harry's innocent Question but deep down Harry knew who it was.
"We do not speak his name." Olivander began with a whisper as Harry looked. "The wand chooses the Wizard Mr. Potter much like how the Grimoire chooses the master. But in the wands case it's not always clear why but in the case of the Grimoire they always make there reason known in some way or form some times its power, others its love but in the end they get the final say in things." Olivander said as he looked to Harry. "But I think it is clear either way that we should expect great things from you, after all he who must not be named did great things terrible but great." Olivander said as Harry understood that much.
"Did… you ever sell a wand to someone who would later be known as Master Therion?" Harry asked as people had been whispering much around here about him.
"No I have not which I find peculiar especially since he had already began doing great things though they are considered terrible." Olivander confessed as he would have remembered selling a wand to this new Dark Lord who has yet to make himself known. But rumors have been flying about that those who see him who are not with his 'Black Lodge,' they can't even say his name without dying no doubt Master Therion offered them chances to join before he ended their lives with incredibly powerful magic.
Soon there was tapping on the window as Harry and Joseph looked and saw Hagrid holding two cages with Owls in them as one was a pure white Owl while the other was a pitch black Owl as Harry and Joseph smiled as Harry never had an Owl.
"About time we got you a familiar." Al said as Harry looked.
"Wow." Harry said as Hagrid smiled.
"Happy Birthday Harry and Joseph." Hagrid said as the Owls looked to the two.
(Later)
Now that the two had everything they needed they were heading to grab a bite to eat before they passed by a destroyed building belonging to a pureblood family as painted or etched into the walls was an eldritch mark that Harry had seen many times when the Black Lodge was involved. "What happened here?" Harry asked as Hagrid saw it.
"I hoped you wouldn't had ta see tis Arry." Hagrid said as he looked.
"It's the Black Lodge I'm telling you." Came a random persona as Aurors were investigating it.
"The minister is an idiot why won't he acknowledge that there may be a new Dark Lord out there and prepare for the worst?" Came another person as Harry knew who they were talking about instantly, Master Therion.
As people whispered the group of five took there leave as they began looking for a place to sit down and eat some food like planned as they didn't need such talk around such youngling.
(Later)
The four were eating as Harry was pushing around his food a bit deep in through was Elisa was eating calmly while Joseph was inhaling his food. Al though ate because she liked the taste of food even if she didn't need it. Hagrid noticed this as he looked to Harry in concern. "You've been offlay quiet Arry some'ting troubling ya?" Hagrid asked as Harry looked.
"It's just the whole thing we just saw and the one who killed my parents Voldemort." Harry said as Hagrid shushed him there. "I don't really care for Voldemort nor am I really scared of him it's just this Master Therion guy whose been bugging me." Harry said as Hagrid looked. "That mark that place was covered in, I've seen it in the Muggle Society it has to be the Black Lodges calling card." Harry admitted as Hagrid did not know that bit of information. "I'm just worried as to what Therion is really after in all of this and why is he doing this in the first place" Harry said as he looked to Hagrid. "After all a vast majority of evil being have to have a starting point somewhere they can't all possibly be born evil." Harry said as he looked to Hagrid.
"That Therion fellow he's powerful I can tell ya that much in fact people are starting to really fear him." Hagrid said as he then looked to Harry. "The Ministry are keen on trying to keep Therion a secret but what's the point of a secret when his followers are off going blooming mad in his name." Hagrid said as it seems Master Therion's many followers were as loyal as they were insane. "Personally though when you defeated You Know Who that night something about you stumped him making him too tired to carry on and is probably biding his time." Hagrid said as he sighed. "But people are also claiming that Voldemort is afraid of Master Therion because Voldemort may have been dark but Master Therion people claim he's far darker that he made a deal with them old Eldritch Monsters from days of old." Hagrid said as Harry knew that much about the eldritch beasts.
"They even claim he was never human they claim he was born dark grew up evil and accepted that fate from the get go. Though that's just many rumors but one thing is for sure if you even think Master Therion is nearby run do not hide he will find you if you hide." Hagrid said as Harry simply nodded to that as he was oddly scared of meeting Master Therion now and he's a special Agent of the Marauders Organization. Joseph of course looked worried as did Elisa but Al wasn't worried in the slightest as she was going to kick Master Therion' ass all the way to Sunday Night.
(Scene Break a Month Later)
A month had passed and Harry and Al were at Kings Cross station after Petunia dropped the two off here and headed out to handle the rest of Dudley's school requirements and all seeing as he was enrolled into Vernon's old school. Of course Harry understood Dudley misses his father but Dudley should understand Vernon was a bad influence on many him with his treatment of Harry. If Harry had never met Joseph though he would have probably been shy and introverted from fear even at Hogwarts to this day. Luckily when Harry and Al told Hagrid Petunia could give them a ride to King Cross he gave them their tickets and told them not to lose it in any way shape or form which Al confirmed it was a key to their train later that same day.
In other words no ticket means they cannot board the Hogwarts Express. That alone would be bad for them in the long run since their mission is to basically make allies and gain new spells to combat the Black Lodge lead by Master Therion and the Eldritch Gods who would try and enter their world of man.
Al of course was riding atop her Trolley as Harry had to push both his and Al's as the Grimoire was taking a break from pushing her Trolley around the platforms. "Why do I have to push your trolley Al?" Harry asked as he was pushing Al's and dragging his own.
"Because I'm tired." Al said as if it was the most obvious answer in the world as Harry then sighed and let go of Al's Trolley before pushing his own by himself. "Hey no fair!" Al called as she got off her Trolley and began pushing it herself.
"Says the girl who kissed me to make a contract." Harry said as Al glared.
"It was required for the binding ritual and don't 10 year olds dream of their first kiss?" Al called as Harry blushed at that thought since that was Halloween a year ago when they met.
"Ok then Al if you're such a magic expert mind telling me where Platform 9 3/4 is located?" Harry asked as he and Al were having a bit of a spat right now.
"Yeah I want to know also." Came the voice of Joseph as Harry and Al looked and saw Joseph and Elisa walking up to, them as Elisa smiled.
"Hello Harry, hello Al." Elisa greeted as Al scoffed as Harry smiled.
"Hey guys." Harry said as he looked around.
"Well if this ticket is right it has to be somewhere between Platforms 9 and 10 so any idea?" Joseph asked as Elisa looked.
"Well we could wait for Hogwarts Students to start showing up and ask them where it is." Elisa said as she looked to them.
"And how long will that even take?" Harry Asked as it could take them forever to find a guide to the platform.
"Um guys." Al said as she heard yelling similar to ranting as they looked to where Al was pointing and saw a family guiding with a mother guiding her children. "It's the same every year packed with Muggles of course. Come on Platform 9 ¾ this way." The mother said as she held her daughters hand and guided her four boys down the platforms.
"Muggles." Harry said as Al knew the term as did Joseph.
"Well we found our guide." Joseph said before the four began to follow the woman and her family just to make sure they weren't mistaken. They soon saw the woman stop as Harry and Al looked as Al looked closely at the wall.
'That's the way to the platform.' Al thought as she looked to it wondering what they would do to get in.
"Alright you first Percy." The woman said as she gestured to the oldest.
Percy did a small speed walk to the wall and with the owl in tow they went right through the wall vanishing into it. "And there's our way to school." Al said as she was glad to be the observant one.
"Fred you next." The woman said as she gestured to Fred who was part of a set of twins.
"He's not Fred I am!" The Twin to the left said he looked offended identifying as Fred.
"Honestly woman you call yourself our mother?" The twin asked as Al and Joseph snickered at this as the oldest trick in the book for Twins.
"Sorry George." The woman apologized to her sons as telling Twins apart is difficult for everyone regardless of society origin.
George got to a ready spot as when he stopped next to his mother he smiled a bit. "I'm only joking I am Fred." Fred said revealing his and George's trick before he ran into the wall followed closely by George as the twins succeeded with their prank on their mother before school term starts.
"Excuse me!" Harry called as Al had to play the young Muggle Born descendant for now. The four rode up as the young boy with red hair also saw them as they met with the woman. "Can you tell us how to um." Harry asked as he wasn't used to meeting so many new people with many thoughts flooding his mind from Diagon Alley still fresh.
"How to get onto the platform?" The woman asked as Joseph spoke up.
"Yes please!" He called as he raised his index finger up.
"Not to worry dearies its Ron's first time to Hogwarts as well." She said gesturing to the boy Ron who smiled as Joseph looked.
"Great not the only fresh meat then." Joseph said with a smile on this as he looked to this.
"I agree." Elisa said as Al sighed.
"Great." Al said no doubt Harry had attracted some unwanted attention.
"Now all you have to do is run straight at the walls between Platforms 9 and 10." The woman explained as Al looked.
"Is running optional?" Al asked remembering Fred and George running at the wall.
"If your nervous best to run straight in." The woman said as Joseph smirked.
"Well mates we only live once BANZAI!" Joseph called out as he ran straight into the wall and vanished into it with his trolley.
"When in Rome I suppose." Elisa said as she ran after Joseph as she and her Trolley vanished into the wall as well as Harry not used to seeing Magic only was amazed by it.
Harry and Al then stood together as Harry and Al looked to each other. "Together?" Al asked as Harry nodded.
"Yeah." Harry said before the two charged straight into the wall back to back as they vanished into it first Harry and now Al herself.
Once the two were on the other side they saw to their shock a large old steam engine with the Hogwarts symbol on it as it was dubbed the Hogwarts Express as this was Platform 9 ¾. The large black and Red Train had students boarding it as Al was amazed by it as Joseph was up ahead looking around it. "Harry check this thing out!" Joseph called as he was being held back by Elisa who gave an apologetic look for her friend's behavior as people understood his excitement and told her not to worry and that it was normal even for muggle-born.
(Scene Break Hogwarts Express after departing)
The four were sharing a Booth as Joseph was looking out the window with his face almost glued to the window. "I thought you were supposed to be the brains." Harry said as Joseph smiled.
"Don't worry this excitement will simmer down once I get over the fact we aren't the only ones in the world with Magic." Joseph said as Elisa smiled at Joseph.
"Idiot." Al said as she sat on her spot next to Harry.
That was when he heard the door open as Harry looked and saw a young man with red shaggy hair from before, Ron, and seemed quiet meek as Harry simply adjusted his glasses and looked back to the window. "Excuse me do you mind, everywhere else is full." Ron asked as Harry looked and saw Al gave her ok of do whatever he wanted.
Harry smiled as he might as well start making some friend now. "Not at all." Harry said kindly as the boy nodded and entered the booth before sitting down.
"I'm Ron, by the way Ronald Weasley." Ron introduced as Harry smile at him.
"I'm Al Azif." Al greeted as Joseph looked.
"I'm Joseph Theo I'm his childhood friend." Joseph said pointing to Harry as Elisa smiled.
"I'm Elisa Ulrich pleasure to meet you."
"I'm Harry, Harry Potter." Harry said as that brought a shocked look to Ron's face as he honestly didn't expect to meet a celebrity at Hogwarts.
"So, so it's true do you really have the… the?" Ron asked pointing to his head to signal for Harry's scar.
"The what?" Harry asked as the stuttering wasn't helping.
"The Scar." Ron whispered trying not to be rude.
"He has it but it's been fading as of late." Al said as Harry smiled and showed the evidence.
"Wicked." Ron said as he was amazed by said famous thunderbolt scar.
That was when a kind elderly lady appeared as she had a cart full of treats and sweets. "Anything to eat dearies?" She asked with a kind grandmother like tone as Harry looked as did his friends as Joseph was curious about the sweets.
"No thanks I packed my own for the trip." Ron said showing the food he packed for the trip.
"We'll take the lot." Harry said taking out his Wizard money as he was kind of hungry himself and knew Ron came from a hand-me-down family right off the bat.
"Wow." Ron said as he was surprised Harry carried that kind of money.
(Later)
The group of five were enjoying the sweets they had gotten off the Trolley as Harry was eating some jelly beans. Harry caught the unusual flavors of the Jelly Beans that weren't on human world jelly beans. "Hey let me try one." Joseph said as he took one as Harry tried to stop him but ate it anyway. "Hmm not bad." Joseph said as he ate it.
"Well they have every flavor on them they even got spinach and liver roast." Ron said as Joseph shrugged. "George swore he got a bogey flavor one." Ron said making Joseph stop his chewing.
"Meh it's already in my mouth." Joseph said before he kept chewing while Al gave Ron's rat a glare.
Al could see it the rat wasn't normal in fact she could almost say it had human thoughts instead of a mindless rat.
Harry picked up a blue box and saw it said chocolate Frogs on it. "These aren't real frogs are they?" Harry asked as he looked at the box.
Harry looked as Ron spoke up. "Don't worry it's just a spell it's the cards you really want each pack has a picture of a famous witch or wizard." Ron said as Joseph looked.
"I'll take the chocolate frog if you don't want the sweet chocolate goodness yourself." Al said as she did love chocolate a lot.
Harry sighed and nodded as when he opened it Al grabbed the little bugger before it could escape and ate it as she smiled at how, good; it tasted and how the enchantment broke reverting it to a normal piece of chocolate shaped like a frog. "Please keep your sugar tooth under control." Harry said as he didn't want it to have any bad side effects on Al.
"Hey I got Dumbledore." Harry said as he looked at the card.
"I got about six of him." Ron said as Al looked.
"Anyone starting a collection here?" Al asked as she looked between everyone.
"Hey he's gone!" Harry said as he saw Dumbledore was gone from the newly acquired card's picture.
"Well you can't expect him to run around all day." Ron said as Elisa looked impressed by the cards charm.
But soon eyes went down to the rat eating out of the candy box that Al was glaring at before. "This is Scabbards by the way. Pathetic isn't he." Ron said as he wished he had better stuff then hand me downs but in a family of 8 one must make sacrifices at times to support themselves in the long run of financial family wealth.
"Just a little bit." Harry admitted as Joseph saw Harry was trying to be nice to Ron.
Fred gave me a Spell that supposed to turn him Yellow." Ron said as he then looked to Harry. "Want to see?" Ron asked as he looked to Harry who smiled.
"Sure." Harry said as Al smirked.
"This should be good." Al said as mentally she was hoping for Ron to screw up so she can see what's really in that Rat's head when the defenses are weakened by physical pain from a bad or badly performed spell.
Ron pulled out his Wand and cleared his throat as he got ready before a girl walked in looking for something dress in her uniform. "Has anyone seen a toad a boy named, Neville lost one." The girl asked as she looked to the group in the booth as they each turned their heads as Al and Elisa got their legs to their seats not wanting a toad walking around it.
"No." Ron said as the girl quickly noticed something here.
"Oh you're doing magic let's see then." The girl said as Ron then cleared his throat again.
"Sunshine daisy's button mellow turn this stupid fat rat yellow!" Ron invoked as it caused a light to hit the box forcing the Rat to release it as Al saw a glimpse of its mind and what she saw was a name.
'Peter?' She was able to catch as it was apparent this rat was not normal in the slightest. "Ok I've seen and heard spells left and right and that my friend is in no way a spell." Al said as she should know she's a flipping powerful and ancient spell book for crying out loud.
"I'm going to have to side with the purple haired girl on this one that doesn't sound like a real spell at all." The girl said as she did saw there was a spell there just incorrectly performed. "Of course I've only tried a few simple ones myself but they all worked for me." The girl said as Ron looked to Harry and Joseph as he wanted to know how they put up with Al so easily like that.
'Years of practice.' Harry silently told as the girl pulled out her own wand and walked in causing Joseph to make room as the girl sat down beside him.
"For example." She began as she pointed her wand to Harry's glasses which Al realized, she forgot to fix them again. "Oculus Repairo." She invoked as when she did it the tape keeping the two glasses together came off as the glasses were then repaired good as new. "That's better isn't it?" She asked as Al was face palming herself.
"I can't believe I forgot to fix those damn things." Al cursed as she was mentally kicking herself.
That was when Harry removed his glasses as he looked at it that Hermione realized who he was. "Holy cricket! You're Harry Potter!" She said as she realized who he was. "I'm Hermione Granger and you all are?" Hermione asked as she looked to the crowd here.
"Joseph Theo Harry's best mate." Joseph greeted as Elisa smiled.
"Elisa Ulrich is my name." Elisa said as she smiled to her new friends.
"Al Azif." Al greeted as she looked to the girl she found both adorable in acting as if she knows everything and annoying.
"Ron Weasley." Ron greeted as he looked to her.
"Pleasure." She said trying to be polite to them but then Al was wide eyed as soon a current came pass all of them as Joseph looked confused.
"Uh guys where did you all go?" Joseph asked as Elisa was just as confused.
"Wait Joseph what are you talking about we're right here." Harry said but his hand passed right through him.
"Oh dear." Hermione said as Al was freaking out.
"What's going on?" Ron asked as he didn't see his reflection on the glass.
Harry and Al ran out of the booth with Ron and Hermione following close behind as outside they saw a man with pale white skin long blond hair, and a dark coat like suit that showed his torso and chest muscles as he looked to them with Topaz eyes while leaning on the wall.
"Hmm well at least I got rid of two pests." He said in a bored tone as he got straight up and looked to the four as the area around them began to change to darkness as the man looked with smoke and an ominous fog filling the cabin.
*Insert Demonbane OST the Absolute of Justice
"Who, who are you?" Harry asked as he felt it his entire being was telling him to run.
"Hmm I'm not surprised you don't know of my physical appearance after all your Marauder Organization has proven to be an amusing group to fight." The man said as he looked at the three.
"Marauder Organization?" Hermione asked as she never heard of such a group.
"Tell us who you are! Your magic reeks darkness." Al demanded as the man chuckled a bit.
"I am the leader and Grand Master of the Black Lodge, Master Therion." Therion introduced with a small bow as he crossed his right arm over his chest for the bow of respect.
"Wait your that Dark Lord the Prophet and Quibbler talks about?!" Ron asked in shock as Therion smirked.
"The very same." Master Therion said as Harry looked like he was having trouble breathing.
"What do you want with us?" Hermione asked as Harry was nervous.
"I, simply wished to talk was all. To the boy who would be my rival." Master Therion said as he pointed to Harry. "I have been waiting a whole year for the chance to properly greet you but it seems situations from both sides had gotten in the way." Master Therion said as he almost sounded like he was deeply interested with Harry. "So I offer you my greetings Mr. Harry Potter the new master of the Necronomicon Al Azif." Master Therion said offering a small bow to the two.
"What are you talking about and how did you get on the train?!" Hermione began as Master Therion began to walk torts her with a playful smile on his face.
"You're in the way." Master Therion said as he raised his arm charging his magic into it and slapping Hermione back as she landed onto Ron as Ron and Harry were shocked.
"Hermione!" Harry and Ron called as Harry then glared at Master Therion.
"Bastard!" Harry growled out as he had to stop this guy from hurting anyone else or worse.
Al of course glared at Master Therion as she did not expect them to face each this man so, soon as Harry may have a year under his belt but Master Therion was a Grandmaster Magius and is leagues ahead of Harry. Master Therion began to laugh playfully as it seems he was amused by all this as he looked at them all.
"What are you doing?!" Harry roared out as he charged at Master Therion ready to merge with Al.
"Harry, stop he's dangerous!" Al called as she recognized the Purgatory Slip Space Spell anywhere and Master Therion must have casted it to meet with them without interruptions.
Harry had his hand on Therion but when Therion made no move to counter Harry put his arm down as Master Therion smiled playfully at Harry finding the Boy-Who-Lived to be amusing. "A pleasure to meet you for the first time, I suppose I should say, Harry Potter." Master Therion said as he looked to Harry.
'He knows who I am…' Harry thought as Hermione came to as she saw what was going on.
"I have many names and titles, The Dark Lord Master Therion, The Grandmaster Rank Holder Master Therion, The Dark Priest Master Therion, and many more. But one I prefer above all else is Master Therion the one who pursues the Truth of Magic and the Secrets of Arkham." Master Therion said as he lifted his hands up creating a violet energy.
"Harry!" Al called out as she then created a burst of light sending them straight to Arkham but Ron and Hermione were caught in that light as soon once it died down Ron and Hermione were shocked to find themselves in Arkham as they found themselves wearing what looked like priest garb of sorts.
"Yes! You've had at least heard the name. This man is the Black Lodges Grand Master!" Al called as Hermione was surprised by this as was Ron. "He's my no OUR enemy Harry." Al growled as she glared at Master Therion.
"Where are and where's Harry?" Ron asked as he was scared and worried.
"I promise you Ron and Hermione I'll explain later but for now get to safety!" Harry called as he pointed to the church they appeared right beside when arriving in Arkham no doubt still bound to the Hogwarts Express as their entry point.
"A pleasure… Master of the Necronomicon." Master Therion said with a bow as now he and Harry were at the same physical height.
"How dare you hurt Hermione?!" Harry demanded as he glared at Master Therion.
"Oh the little witch, my apologies I don't normally concern myself with insect crawling around on the ground especially if they follow the weaker forms of magic like Merlin." Master Therion said as he kept that playful smile up.
"You bastard!" Harry roared as he charged straight at Master Therion and punched him square in the face sending him flying as when the punched hit, it created a concussive blast destroying things in the area as it also reflected on Earth.
(Earth)
The country side and water area the train passed burst out as the Water exploded causing rain while the ground created fissures and earth quakes as the passengers saw all of this and were in shock to it all.
(Arkham)
Master Therion was flying through the air as he licked his lips before fixing his landing and with a graceful tap landed on the ground safely. "You broke my defensive circle and touched my body. Impressive." Master Therion said as he found this amusing no in fact it may even have gotten him excited.
"Don't get arrogant!" Harry called as he charged at Master Therion.
"Wait, Harry! Stay Calm!" Al called as Ron and Hermione heard them.
Harry was about to send another magic attack at Master Therion but Master Therion brought up his arm and created a ball of infernal energy and when Harry's fist landed on it the two attacks blocked each other. "Your latent Magical Energy is impressive even among you Merlinian Wand holding Wizards, but you can't control your fighting instincts when a friend is harmed." Master Therion said before he unleashed his spell sending Harry back as he cried out in pain.
Harry looked up and saw Master Therion standing on a pillar before the crescent moon of Arkham as Harry glared. "Call Demonbane, Harry!" Al ordered as she knew they were no match for Master Therion like this.
"What?" Harry asked as that was a bit overkill much.
"Harry listen the difference between your powers is that great a Deus Machina is an equalizer here! If you don't do it at this rate he will kill you, in other words you WILL die!" Al warned as she looked to Harry knowing Master Therion was powerful especially within Arkham which no doubt provides him the home field advantage.
"Fine." Harry said as he then flew up and began the spell.
He began to spin creating runes as Harry was summoning his ally. "From the Hate scorched sky..." Harry began as he crated more runes. "With righteous anger in our hearts..." Harry continued as she created more runes around her. "We draw forth the sword that smites evil!" He continued as he did a spin as he was now surrounded by these rings of runes. "Thou art the innocent sword," Harry continued as he raised his hand in the air as the runes entered his raised right hand. "DEMONBANE!" He invoked finishing the spell as she came downward as when Harry hit the ground the magical seal appeared above them all as Ron and Hermione were in shock to it as then Demonbane appeared from it as Harry vanished inside the giant with Al.
(Master Therion)
"So you called it. Yes that's good, very good! No I can enjoy myself a little!" Master Therion said as if he was hoping Harry would Summon Demonbane.
(Demonbane)
"This seems like overkill Al he's just one guy." Harry said as he had an arsenal of spells at his disposal from his guns to his sword.
"No it's not Harry you haven't seen how two Magius duel it's not wand waving its using your own body and magic as a foci and here Master Therion is the strongest there is." Al said as she her hands were shaking on her controls.
(Master Therion)
Therion was floating in the air as he then smirked and vanished only to appear before Demonbane's face and give it a swift uppercut shocking everyone as Demonbane was sent upward as Ron and Hermione were in shock.
(Ron and Hermione)
"Bloody Hell that's Harry?!" Ron asked as Hermione was glad Harry went to her defense but he's getting slaughtered by Therion.
"I think both Al and Harry are inside that contraption." Hermione said as she had only seen this machine once or twice in the past year.
(Arkham)
Demonbane began to fall back down after the uppercut from Master Therion as they needed to act fast.
(Demonbane)
"Anti-Shock Defenses!" Al invoked as she pulled a handle activating said defenses.
(Arkham)
A blue mystic seal appeared under Demonbane as it fell as when it hit the ground he seal broke the fall and caused a bit of a crater to appear.
(Demonbane)
"Above us!" Al called out as she saw Master Therion there.
"What is that!?" Harry asked in shock as he also saw it.
(Master Therion)
Master Therion had summoned a large crimson seal and had charged one of his more powerful spells and aimed it at Demonbane. "What's wrong Harry Potter and Al Azif? Is that the extent of your power after a whole year with Demonbane and each other?" Master Therion asked before Demonbane began to be crushed by an incredible force of power.
(Demonbane)
Harry cried out in pain as he felt like his body was being crushed into smashed hamburgers as Al also felt the power there. "A Gravity Barrier?" Al asked as she was shocked to see this. "We'll be crushed…" Al said as they needed a plan.
"I… have an idea." Harry said as his hands began to glow red and blue.
"Heh he won't know what hit him." Al said with a smirk on her face as they needed to time this just right.
(Arkham)
Master Therion began to lower closer to the Gravity Barrier to see if Harry and Al can get out of this situation as from his view he knew Harry was very much a powerful Magic caster since he and Al Azif defeated the Dark Elder God known as Dagon a year ago and to him it seems like they were holding back immensely. "Pathetic… Far Too Pathetic." Master Therion said as he wanted Harry to show him full force before he remember the two he deemed as insects. "Oh I see." Master Therion said as he smiled at the memory and how he as the Yankees say it Bitch Slapped Hermione.
Master Therion then turned around as he looked to the church Hermione and Ron were hiding in as the two were clearly shocked at this move.
(Ron and Hermione)
"Hermione he's looking at us." Ron said with fear etched into his voice as he and Hermione saw Master Therion had another infernal magic energy ball floating in his hand charging energy.
(Demonbane)
"What is he doing?" Harry asked before he realized what Master Therion was doing. "No DON'T DO IT!" Harry called out as he had to act now but it was too late.
He sent the energy ball out and it hit the city and missed the Church as this was major damage to Arkham as a whole and with it to Earth.
(Earth)
A forest fire started as the lakes began to produce whirlpools away from the Hogwarts Express but the fact remained Master Therion was causing these disasters as they reached all the way to London's country side where a tornado had appeared while people ran for their lives to shelters and safety.
(Master Therion)
"What's wrong Harry Potter? Surprised?" Master Therion asked as he then began to laugh finding the greatest form of amusement from Harry's reaction as Harry tried his best to move but the Gravity Barrier was too strong for him.
*End OST
(Demonbane)
"This guy, he's not human. No compared to Voldemort to Master Therion Voldemort is bloody saint." Harry thought as he saw this. "I won't let him run around and hurt people just for his own sick amusement." Harry growled as he glared at Master Therion who kept laughing. "I'll beat him even if it kills me in the end." Harry growled as he forced his way to move no matter the pressure he was under.
(Hermione and Ron)
The two saw they were ok as Hermione and Ron got to the bell tower and saw Harry in Demonbane was struggling to move. "HARRY!" Hermione called out as Demonbane's eye moved acknowledging her. "Beat this remorseless monster to the ground!" Hermione called out as Ron jumped in.
"Yeah mate! Don't let him win or mess with your head!" Ron called out as he honestly didn't want to die nor did he want Harry, Al, or Hermione to die either.
(Demonbane)
Harry saw them and smiled a bit before he gained a glare at Master Therion as he roared out while the red danger lights in the cockpit turned blue. Harry growled for a bit before he roared out forcing Demonbane to move. "Harry?" Al asked as she was shocked that Harry could even move at this point. "He dispelled Master Therion's barrier?" Al asked as she was shocked. "He barely had to cast any spells before and after me save for my pages and he did this all on his own?" Al asked in shock as she had underestimated Harry here.
(Arkham)
Demonbane released blue runic rings of energy above him as the runes across its body glowed gold as Demonbane was back in the fight.
(Demonbane)
"You blood monster!" Harry roared out as he activated his spell.
(Arkham)
"Cthugha." Harry began as the glow in Demonbane right hand turned into a large Magnum gun. "And Ithaqua!" Harry finished as the blue glow in the left became a revolver weapon.
Demonbane aimed as the Magnum launched a bullet straight at Master Therion while the Revolver launched a large blue Bullet which elegantly flew around to Master Therion's blind spot as he found this all amusing.
Soon a magical summoning rune not unlike Demonbane's appeared and from it a Deus Machina appeared from it as the Deus Machina blocked both bullets with some struggle which lead to merely deflecting them causing damage to the nearby area. The smoke did not clear but Demonbane under Harry's command disengaged the guns and charged forward and punched at Master Therion in the smoke only for the same Deus Machina to block the attack as Harry was shocked as the smoke began to clear.
(Master Therion)
Master Therion smiled as he had never been forced to bring out his Deus Machina outside of shows of power nor his Grimoire. "Splendid. Congratulations on making me use my Grimoire and Deus Machina." Master Therion said with a chuckle as he was almost never pushed this far in a fight.
(Demonbane)
"A Deus Machina." Harry began in shock.
"And a Grimoire." Al finished as she couldn't believe it as both now knew why Therion was so feared and powerful in such a short time since Voldemort's 'defeat.'
(Master Therion)
"Let me introduce you. My Grimoire, the Pnakotic Manuscripts Etheldreda." Master Therion introduced as Etheldreda protected her master by remote controlling the Deus Machina of Master Therion. "Return the favor, Etheldreda." Master Therion ordered as he smirked. "Show them Liber Legis." Master Therion ordered as Etheldreda acknowledged it. "Use the spell that the Killing Curse they all fear was based around as its offshoot." Master Therion said as he was going to enjoy this.
"Yes my master." Etheldreda said as soon the smoke vanished to reveal Liber Legis as the Deus Machina was as large as Demonbane and humanoid as well as it had large arch like wings as it seemed just as strong as Demonbane. "Abra Kadabra." Etheldreda invoked as Liber Legis held the hand that had blocked Demonbane and in turn a red Triangle like seal appeared and began sending a dark violet yet violent thunder like energy at Demonbane as this was the true form of the Unforgivable Killing Curse as the 'Avada Kadabra,' was merely an off shoot and the Morganian Dark Wizards attempt at mimicking it.
(Demonbane)
"We need to retreat! I'm sending Demonbane back to HQ and us with Ron and Hermione back to the Train!" Al called as she activated the emergency escape function as Demonbane began to glow as Demonbane then did what was needed.
(Arkham)
Demonbane released a burst of white energy as Ron and Hermione shielded their eyes when it got to them as Master Therion simply smiled at this as he saw Harry was more powerful then he last assumed truly the one worthy as his rival and as his equal.
(Scene Break Hogwarts Express that night)
Students began to disembark from the train as they began to disembark. AS they left Harry, Hermione, and Ron were the last to get off as Joseph and Elisa got off long before them as Ron and Hermione were shocked at what they heard and seen. "Mate, that's mad." Ron said as he looked to Harry.
"Welcome to my world." Harry said as he and Al stood side by side all four were in there robes.
"But that man how can you beat him I know you held back because he was human but I'm afraid if you had went all out you wouldn't have won." Hermione said knowing Harry was a good person but Master Therion capitalized on Harry's need to protect people.
"I know but thinking how he almost killed me, makes me think that I may not be strong enough to beat him." Harry confessed as Al looked.
"Then get stronger." Al said as Harry looked. "Harry he let us live because he wanted a worthy challenge let's make sure he lives to regret that and get stronger, we already have a good chunk of my missing pages but we also need to ADD new pages." Al said as Ron and Hermione were given the story of what happened between a year ago and now.
"Well to invent new spells it would take a lot of trial and error Harry but I'll be glad to help as best I can." Hermione said even though she was a novice she would try and help as best she could.
"Yeah mate look at all the spells in existence, they all had to start from somewhere." Ron said as Harry looked to his new friends and smiled at them.
"Thank you all of you." Harry said with a smile on his face as he looked to his dear friends.
"Come on then we can't get left behind so let's go get sorted to our houses." Ron said as he was honestly hoping to be in Gryphondor in all honesty between these three friends.
As they left they failed to notice Elisa hiding behind a wall as she then did a small smile that doubled as a smirk as they caught up with the first years groups in Hogsmede as Hagrid guided them all as they headed to the boats after Harry and Al gave there hellos to Hagrid.
All in all the fates have changed and Voldemort wherever he may be hiding is no longer the largest threat to the Wizarding World. Now we begin the tales of the God Slaying Sword and his nemesis and equal the Evil Priest to a Dark God. Man, God, or Machine it will not matter in the long run for now the battle has begun once again between the two Elder Gods for the fate of the entire world both sides of magical and non-magical worlds.
