Chapter 2: Beastie
The sounds of cheers and mugs clinking filled the Hogwarts guild hall, the bright lights and the feel of optimism filled the air.
On a table sitting near the ice queen Daphne Greengrass was Lord Harry James Potter-Black The-Boy-Who-Conquered, who in this world was more known as being Harold Potter The-Boy-That-Was-Killed. Of course that was not his actual moniker, that was just the nickname Harry was giving himself anytime someone had spoken to him like they were old friends. "They knew Harold Potter... they knew a dead man. They don't know who I am." would be the thought process that Harry would go through.
Harry was sitting there on the bench reading a book that detailed information on the different types of beasts in this realm; he did not want to die like Harold did.
the book he was reading stated "Phoenix soul is a lost magic, one that no one has seen been used in centuries." Harry chuckled to himself 'if only they could see the power that Hedwig could command', Daphne looked up from her cards and stared daggers at Harry
"Potter. Stop."
Harry looked up from his book to look at the dark shade of Daphne's angry face and he gulped. He had to pretend to be Harold; from what he can gather, he was not a particularly brave lad. "I-I'm s-s-sorry Daphne... I just read this v-very funny line in this b-book and I-"
"Okay! Look, Potter... if you really want people to stop seeing you as anything but a coward then you've got to start sticking up for yourself." She just shook her head and continued reassembling her cards.
Harry couldn't believe it. In this world he had to play the part of a coward and he wasn't entirely sure if he would be able to play this part for his entire life.
It was only a few minutes later that the doors to the Hogwarts Guild hall and in came one of the guilds most boisterous guild members. Draco Malfoy.
He came in shouting his mouth off about the adventure he had just came back from "So ladies and gentlemen, can any of you guess which one of Hogwarts wizards just skinned themselves a six legged crocodile? That's right! I, Draco Malfoy, the pale serpent of the Hogwarts Guild!" He puffed out his chest and looked around the room and saw Neville sitting there chatting away to Dean, completely ignoring Malfoy and his spurt of self flattery. "Oi! Longbottom, what do ya think your doing" Neville looked over to Draco with a look of confusion on his face "You are ignoring me. Can't you see what I'm doing?" Draco called out to the boy
Neville shrugged his shoulders and looked around the room "To me it looks like your making a bit of an ass of yourself to be honest Draco... I mean, look around, no one seems to actually care, can you for once just come back from a mission; go to the Master and just shut up and be proud of yourself without going around asking for everybody else's validation? It's just ridiculous." Neville then turned back to Dean and the two began talking.
Draco just stood there, his face turning read, his eyes now wide saucers of rage "HOW DARE YOU LONGBOTTOM I'M GONNA CURSE YA NAME CURSE YA TOAD CURSE YA PURITY CURSE YA WHOLE DAMN-" Draco was interrupted by a voice coming from the stairs, Harry looked over and saw something he didn't expect to see, the Master of Hogwarts House, Master Albus Dumbledore.
He came walking down the stairs, his thick shoulder length auburn hair tide back into a ponytail, the almost black suit with shimmering stars that moved clung to his chiseled physique, his stubbly beard somehow making him look younger and those twinkling eyes that can read through any person telling Harry that this person who looked to only be in his late thirties was somehow this worlds version of Albus Dumbledore.
"That will be enough Draco. I've only just managed to get in a nice word with the council so that they wouldn't charge us for the previous repairs that they had to do on our guild hall." He sits at the long table at the end of the hall and sits down in the luxurious red velvet chair with golden arm rests, and leans on his arm and smiles "So... it seems that the council is in need of the aid of Hogwarts; a beast is headed towards Diagon Alley and so they have entrusted me with the creation of a small team to be assembled and sent to stop the beast. Do I have any volunteers?" A smirk was plastered onto his face as he asked his entire guild using his smooth as butter voice.
Around the room people began looking to eachother and questions of 'I will if you will' were being passed around.
Albus then sighed and stood up "Fine, if you're all going to be pansy's I guess we can do this the slightly hard way." Albus waved his hands and in the space in front of him floated twenty eight cards with the faces of everyone who was currently in the guild hall "Now, you all have one final chance to volunteer before I choose for you all." He waited a second and no one put their hands up.
'I would volunteer to help, but I don't know how predictable my magic can be here, I've barely even tried using my wand, I don't think that I would be of much use.' was the thoughts going through Harry's head.
"Very well, don't ask me to do you any favors." Albus swished his hands and the cards scattered into the air above him, and he grabbed the first few cards that came near him "And so ladies and gentlemen, the wizards who will represent Hogwarts and go forth and defeat the beast are... well this'll be interesting... Draco Malfoy! Neville Longbottom! Luna Lovegood! and Harold Potter!" everything was quiet for a second, and then Draco stood up
"What?! Excuse me but the hell?! Master Albus, how can you expect us four to go there and defeat a beast?! Like... I don't think we're prepared to go on a council given mission yet!" Draco shouted to the young looking old man.
Neville stood up and began walking towards Albus "Put a sock in it Draco, we've got a mission to do, whether we're capable of doing so or not is not our problem, lets just try our best." he turned around to face Harry and Luna (Who was sitting two tables across from Harry) "Common guys, lets leave Chicken-o Malfoy over there to wollow in self pity whilst we get the mission done." Harry and Luna both stood up and joined Neville who was now standing in front of the long table, awaiting information on the mission. Draco eventually walked over grumbling the entire time.
Albus' smirk never faded "So, the council have told me that the beast that is on its way is called the Chimera of Ol'dome, it is part lion, part snake, part eagle and part badger. It has been rated as an A class beast, and usually one of our S class wizards would have been able to handle the job but unfortunately they're all out on missions of their own, so i shall send the four of you." Draco slammed his hands on the table
"I'm sorry master, but you can't expect us to go on this mission! You just said it yourself, its an A class beast! We're all D class wizards, we can't possibly pull this mission off!" Albus leaned back in his chair and starred at Draco for a moment
"Hmmm... Very true... Very well, how about this... If you four manage to complete your mission, I will elevate your personal wizard class. You will also be given all of the prize money the council rewards if you succeed... how does this deal sound?"
"That sound's like sufficient motive." Draco replied.
Harry and Neville both nodded their heads, and Luna cocked her head to the side "Excuse me master... but, can we choose which class to be moved to... or will that decision be placed onto you?" Albus' smirk widened
"That-a girl, sticking it to the man. Love it!" He clapped his hands and stood up to look at them "I think that depending on how well you accomplish the task, we will find out how much you are all worthy of being elevated." Luna nodded her head with a cute smile "Now off you go, the beast will be on its way to Diagon Alley, so intersect it before it gets there. dismissed." He threw his hands into the air and sat back down in his chair and watched as the four of them left.
'What an interesting combination, I'm kind of proud of myself for making it.' he looked down at all the cards that he threw into the air and they were all doubles of the same four faces.
Along Broaditch Road
They had all encountered the chimera moments ago. It had the body of a lion, the head of a badger, the wings of an eagle (Although the beast refused to fly) and for its tail was a snake that was moving around hissing at the air. The beast stood at around fifteen foot and had piercing red eyes. Draco punched the ground and all the water from the plants around all came to his arm, he stood up and watched as the water extended from his arm into the shape of a sword coming from his wrist and it froze instantly and he began charging towards the chimera, Neville punched the ground and the material bent around his fists forming what he liked to call 'boulder gloves' and Luna called out to the two of them as they ran off "Don't worry about letting loose, I am only capable of healing you as my magical ability is not yet honed!"
...Harry stood there for a moment feeling his magic course through his body, the legend that he was known for back in his reality was being summoned even in this realm, Harry braced his body for the pressure that overwhelms him when he uses his gift, his eyes glow a bright green; he swings his arm towards the towering chimera and a cyan fireball shoots towards the beast, hitting it in the face, gaining its attention.
"Oh shit!" Harry cursed as he realised that he can only conjure enough magic in this body to form fireballs made from Phoenix flame (he assumed based on the fact that he could also summon phoenix flame back in his reality due to Forks saving his life back in the Chamber of Secrets) and his Conquerors Magic, and the one he just conjured seemed pathetic as if he had just flicked its face with his pinky.
"What the fuck are you doing Potter? Get ya head in the game!" Malfoy shouted as he ran past Harry towards the beast, summoned an icicle blade to extend from his wrist and began slicing at the beast. It seemed that both Neville and Malfoy were tag teaming the beast as Neville was blasting away at its legs with his boulder gloves and Draco was slicing away at the creature, both running around and hitting it where they could. Every wound they seemed to have got almost instantly cured by Luna who was running wound the beast aw well firing her healing magic towards the two.
Harry felt useless, unable to help his team mates. In his reality he would be able to co-ordinate the attack and be able to join in and be the anchor of most of the attacks. He was commander of the DA, he trained wizards, and most of the forces when Voldemort declared war on Hogwarts half way through the fifth year. Harry defeated Voldemort, and somehow his magic became something called Conquerors magic, making him even more powerful. Now? Now he didn't know what he was capable of, his magic seemed to not be listening to him and it was not helpful.
Harry pulled his wand from its holster on his belt and aimed his wand at the beast "Sectumsempra!" Harry repeated this spell twice over, causing wide gashes to cover the beasts body, moments later one powerful blow from Neville's fist pushed the beast over, its snake tail lashing out to bite Neville as he looked towards Luna smiling. Draco rushed over and using his bladed arm cut the head off the snake.
With a thud the beast landed on the floor, its wings featherless and crooked, its fur covered in gashes, bruises and bleeding wounds, its face with cuts and scraps, its tail beheaded, its claws shattered, and some of its teeth missing.
The four teens all stood together laughing "I can't believe we've done it! We've defeated the chimera!" They were all laughing and cheering; all with their backs from the beast, so of course they did not notice that its eyes glew a bright red and its wounds began to stitch themselves back together, the snakes head on its tail growing back and the creature looking more stronger than it did before.
Through the corner of Harry's eye he could see movement, he didn't care whether or not the beast was alive, he couldn't risk the death of his new found friends. Harry turned around, felt all of his power and energy move around his body almost like it was singing in tune with his heart and Harry screamed throwing his arms in front of him aiming them at the beast, and bursts of cyan flames came shooting out of Harry's hands, torching the healing chimera, the three teens who were all spooked by the screaming Harry turned around to see what was happening and they were all speechless, they did not know how to react.
"Tiny, weak Harold Potter is doing this?" Draco asked
"No. The Hero we need is doing this." Luna replied
In a matter of moments the cyan flames dissipated into the air, and the charred and blackened remains of the beast was all that stood, Harry stopped screaming and fell to his knees.
His team mates came rushing over "You alright Harold?"
Harry just kept staring at the result of his burst of power and in a stoic voice replied "Please, call me Harry." and the four just watched on as they had defeated the beast.
Later that day, back at the Hogwarts Guild Hall
The four of them clinked their mugs together in celebration of becoming C class wizards and being allowed to have a more wider range in missions, and to Harry's surprise a sense of friendship 'with Draco Malfoy of all people' he chuckled to himself.
The entire guild was as it usually was, nothing was out of place and everyone was happy, but then the doors to the guild hall were swung open and in ran an eight year old girl holding a sack that looked like it held gold, once in the hall she kept running until she reached Albus' table, who was sitting down watching the girl come in the entire time with his smirk still plastered onto his face twisting the hair on his upper lip. "Please! Help!"
Albus looked carefully at the child "Speak. What is the matter child?" She starred at Albus for a second, trying to collect her thoughts and then she came out with what had brought her there.
"I come from village of Arenhale... and the Dark One has returned." She said, tears welling in her eyes
Albus' smirk finally faded and he leaned forward in his chair "The Dark One has returned you say?" the little girl's head slowly nodded "Blast it!" Albus threw his hands onto the table. 'I thought that we had already dealt with him?!' Albus shouted to himself, 'I can't possibly ask Minnie, Sprout, Flitwick, Snape or Hooch to come back at this too late of notice.' he looked up from the table at the guild in front of him and spotted the team that had defeated the chimera 'they're only children... but so were we...' he stood up straight, combed his fingers through his auburn locks and he looked to his guild "Malfoy, Longbottom, Lovegood and Potter, you four are to return to Arenhale with this young girl... and disarm and detain the Dark One. He may not be allowed to rise once again. Head out and stop him!" the four looked to eachother "You do this task, and you won't have to worry about being B class wizards, if you complete your mission, I will make you all A class wizards, so mote it be!" a golden aura surrounded Albus as he declared a promise to the four teenagers.
'The Dark One? Could that possibly mean that... Voldemort is here too?" Harry asked himself, he felt a tap on his arm and he looked to his right to see Luna starring into Harry's jade orbs with curiosity.
"Harry, are you okay?" Her dreamy voice calming Harry.
"No Luna, I'm not... but I think that w-we need to go on this mission guys." Harry looked to the others, Luna happily nodded her head, but Draco and Neville just stared at Harry.
