The Discovery
Screwball
The next thing I knew was that I had woken up at a cabin, I tried to move, but I felt a hoof stop me, and heard another pony say, "Shhh... Don't move too much, little mare."
I groaned, and I wheezed out, "Mommy...?"
I felt another hoof, and some pony said, "I'm here; Screwball. I'm here."
As my vision came into focus, I saw a zebra, she was standing on one side of me, and she said, "I'll go get some soup."
As she left, my thoughts drifted back to what happened at school, when everything did come back, I couldn't even think straight, let alone say something, I whispered, "What happened?"
Mom was about to answer, when Daddy said, "Your friends found you on the floor in the restrooms at school. Do you want to talk about what happened at school today?"
I whispered, "Mothball..."
I just put my head back down, tears beginning to well in my eyes, I shut my eyes tightly, not wanting to cry in front of my parents, I tried to hide them, but the zebra had come back, and she said to my parents, "Why don't you two go wait in the kitchen?"
Daddy said, "Screwy, why are you-"
The zebra said, "Please, Mr. Discord, you need to give your daughter time to heal..."
When Mommy and Daddy had went into the kitchen, the zebra turned to me, and she said, "I'm sorry to report this to you, young mare.
I said, "What is it?"
All she said was, "You have to move on..."
I only sat there; just looking at her, all I could do was stare, not sure what else to do; the zebra said as she went over to a big cauldren, "The changeling is safe, I will tell you that; but it will have to be done, in order for him to return back home... and back to you, young mare."
I said after a moment, "But how?"
She said, "This is a sign, a sign that I've only known once before; there's no telling when he'll return back home, but once returning home, he'll have to face what was once his... I hope that you will find a way... Young mare."
I said, "You mean; that when he returns... he'll have to face the truth about me? What truth?"
She only said, "You'll have great happiness in the future, but be warned, not everyone's happy that you two know each other, or that you both are the key to end the changeling's Mother's rampage in the end."
I said, "Chysalis... But why do we both have to move on? Why can't-"
She cut me off, and she said, "Yes, the lady will rule Equestria, but she'll never know the truth behind your never-ending happiness; you must not only act out the part as a newly-wed, but you have to convince every pony that you've moved on. When the time's right, he'll return; both of you must not only be strangers out in public, but you two have to secretly come together, and end this war."
My heart sank, and I said, "But if we have to come together in secret; how will we explain everything to every pony...?"
She only said, "Love will find a way, young mare."
All I could think about was how I was supposed to betray Mothy, yet at the same time, whenever he returns; we must get back together, and take down his Mother...
Oh; Mothy, where'd you go?
Mothball/Harry Potter
I woke up the next day, for some odd reason, I didn't feel like my changeling self, I couldn't explain it, this feeling only got stronger as I looked around, I was in some house, I heard the door open, and in came a human, she had bright red hair, blue eyes, when she saw that I was awake, she smiled at me, and she said, "Hello, Harry love."
Just then two red-heads, one small brown headed girl, and a black headed boy walk in; when they all saw me, they all said loudly, "Dad!"
They all gave me a hug, I only froze, I was confused, why was I in the human world, shouldn't I be at the hive with Mother and everyone else; at the thought of the hive, my eyes widened, and I said, "I have to go..."
Then as I was climbing out of bed, I saw that I was human too; at the sight, I looked at myself, I could only blink, and I said, "How is this even possible...? How could this... Uh-oh..."
My eyes winded, I jumped up, and I shrieked, "Screwy!"
The woman's eyes narrowed, and she said, "Harry, who's this Screwy person?"
I turned to her, eyes still wide, and I said, "How...? What...? You mean...?"
The woman said, "Alright, children; can you please give me and your father a moment?"
I watched as the human children walked out, leaving me and the woman alone, once they were gone, the woman said softly, "Harry, are you feeling alright?"
I looked at myself in the mirror, but then I quickly moved away, knowing that the human would want to see, what I saw; it made me sigh in relief, but at the same time, it didn't ease the pain that I was somehow put into another world... Wait a moment, put into another world, at that, my eyes fell on the black box, my eyes then narrowed, I quickly reached out, but only to noticed that I had human hands instead of hooves, I looked down, and I saw that I had feet instead of hinged legs.
I only said, "Who are you? Why am I here? Where am I?"
She said, "Ginny Potter, your wife. You're at Grimmauld Place, your home. And I don't know why you're asking that question anyways. You live here, you know; with me and the kids?!"
I only looked at her, after a few moments, I choked out, "k-k-kids?"
She glared at me, and she said, "James, Luna, Albus, Lily."
I only could nod, she came up to me; and pulled me in for a kiss that I couldn't back out on.
She tasted of chocolate, reminding me of Screwy, I only thought of Screwy, I couldn't get her out of my head, even while I was with Mother back at the hive, I couldn't get that cute filly out of my head, every time I thought about her, I would only remember those beautiful purple and white swirls.
After she pulled back, she said, "How do you feel now?"
All I could do was nod.
While my head and body where somewhere else.
My heart and mind where only on a certain pony,
Oh; Screwball, how much I dearly miss your swirls.
