HP the Gryffindor Heir of the Labyrinth

Meeting the Royal Family

Harry sat up with a pounding headache, his eyes still closed. 'What the heck just happened?' he thought.

"Ugh," he groaned. He had landed on something soft. He opened his eyes to discover that his glasses had cracked. "Crap," he muttered, as he searched his robes for his wand.

A hand came out of nowhere and gently removed his glasses.

"Here, allow me," said a woman's voice. The slightly blurred woman standing above him seemed to take out her own wand. She pointed it towards his glasses and said 'Occulus Repairus' and handed them back to Harry.

"Thanks," he said, putting them on. He looked up to smile at the woman. 'Wow' he thought. 'She's really beautiful.' He studied her appearance. She was wearing a beautiful scarlet gown and her long brown hair, was loose and reached her waist. On her head she wore a crown. Her eyes were a lighter green than Harry's own, with hints of blue in them. She looked no older than around 30, but her eyes gave away the impression that she was older than she looked.

"I'm sorry about my husband," she said. He tends to enjoy being the 'Dramatic and Manipulative Goblin King Role' a tad bit too much," she smiled. She glanced down at his robes. "A Hogwarts student? I was a Gryffindor myself."

"If you were from where I do, how come you're here?" asked Harry.

"I married Jareth and had to fulfill my duties here as queen. So how come you're here?"

"Um ." began Harry. "Colin and Hermione were both telling Ginny about the movie, the Labyrinth. And she's had a crush on me since she was 10! But I really like this other girl who's engaged to another guy. She said something like 'I wish the Goblin King would take Harry away, would make my life a lot easier'." Sarah winced.

"Ooh, poor girl. I take it that she's from a wizarding family and had never heard the legend before?" Harry nodded. "She'll be beginning the Labyrinth in a bit. Well at least I'll be there giving her a little helping hand. When I ran it, I was on my own, but I made a few friends who helped me get Toby back. I was really surprised to find out that I was the only one who's ever beat the Labyrinth. See most of the people who wish other people or even their selves away, don't realize that the Labyrinth is real. I see that's the case with your friend Ginny."

Suddenly a boy about Harry's age and a woman, who looked the same age as Sarah came in.

"Hello mother," said the woman, with her mismatched eyes and long blond hair.

"Rose!" Sarah exclaimed, as she got up to hug her. "How have you been? How is Marcus?" Rose smiled.

"He's fine mother."

"And here's my favorite grandson!" Harry's eyes widened with surprised. He'd known Sarah was older than she looked, but he didn't know that she was old enough to have a grandson.

"I'm your only Grandson." Sarah shrugged.

"You never know Jason," she said to the boy. "Your Aunt Liliannah probably has a few of her own children in the aboveground."

The boy looked bored, he looked around the room, and noticed Harry on the bed. "Gran who's he?"

"Oh, I completely forgot about him there for a moment," said Sarah, hitting a hand on her forehead. "Harry, may I introduce you to my youngest daughter Princess Rosaline and her son Prince Jason. Rose, Jason, this is Harry, a boy from the aboveground who got accidentally wished away. If you excuse Rose and I," and with that the two ladies left to get ready for dinner.

"Nice to meet you," said Harry to Jason.

"Nice to meet you too Harry," replied Jason, holding out his hand. "We might as well become friends," he continued. "It's not like you'll be leaving here anytime soon. No one has beat Grandpa Jareth's Labyrinth since Grandma Sarah."

"Well Ginny has to. It is vital I get back to the Wizarding World." The brown haired boy looked curious.

"Why's that then? Worried about your parents or something?"

"No, they were murdered when I was only one years old."

"I'm sorry?"

"There's no need for you to be sorry Prince Jason."

"Just call me Jason. Prince Jason is far too formal for my liking." Harry smiled.

"Ok then .. Jason."

"Great. So if you don't need to go back for your parents, why do you need to go back?"

"Well I need to go back for my friends for one thing. They're the closest thing, next to my family. Plus I'm in some kind of prophecy. I'm the one, apparently, who will defeat Voldemort in this final battle."

"Who's Voldemort?" asked Jason.

"He's the Dark Wizard who murdered my parents. See, he tried to kill me the same night that he murdered my parents. But my mother sacrificed herself for me. This sacrifice saved me from the killing curse, but the curse left a scar." Harry pointed to his forehead. "This is my link to Voldemort. The curse rebounded onto himself and he disappeared for 11 years. But he came back into power when I was 14. And he's now terrorizing the wizarding world. If I don't go back, very soon, there will be nothing to go back to."
