Wow!
Ya, guys know what is weird? I wrote this a intentional Mary Sue fic for a experiment I was doing. Trying to see if more people would think a girl was a sue that a boy. So, I wrote the first chapter fully expecting to have reviews telling me she is marry sue to count, but then I got positive feedback. So, reread the first chapter and realised that although it has some sue fic elements it can still be taken seriously.
I felt like a right idiot. Anyway, since I got three positive reviews, (a lot by my standards) I decided to continue it and try to save it from the sue fic like first chapter. I love a challenge. I'm going to try and without changing anything I said in the first chapter try to make this work. Tell me how well I manage it!
Also, I was pleasantly surprised! I really, really did not take this seriously, but thanks to you awesome people I am having a great time thinking of ways to make this interesting and more orginal. And hey, I you like this fic, and if it does well, then lol what a weird way for a fic to start!
After Harmony went back to Gringotts she decided to try and find one of the many houses she apperantely owned.
Slytherin Castle seemed nice. Well, she just thought it would piss off Dumbledore so she tried to find it.
According to a book she bought on the subject she could apparate right in, if she knew the password.
The password was known, but only decendants of Slytherin could use it. Well, Harmomy thought, "Might as well try."
She concentrated on where she wanted to go and whispered Serpents' Lair.
Nothing happened. Harmony gave a dissapointed sigh.
Guess that was that. Maybe she was not a decendant of Slytherin. Suddenly a idea struck her. Parseltongue!
She whispered the password again, but this time in parseltongue.
Suddenly the world around her turned to black.
"Aah!" Harmony shrieked as she fell in the middle of a circular room. Slowly she got up and looked around. The room was decorated with hundreds of snakes, all with glowing green eyes. They moved around the walls, their eyes making moving green shadows.
Overall it was pretty intimidating.
Yes! This could only be Slytherin Castle!
The room had four doors in it. each led in a different direction. She chose one at random and decided to go explore.
The castle seemed almost alive. As if it was softly hissing at her.
Harmony explored for a bit. She found a massive dining room, a kitchen, thousands of smaller rooms that ranged from potion labs to bedrooms, to dueling arenas.
It seemed like a dream come true. The place was old and dusty, and frankly just creepy, but Harmony was not going to be picky.
She eventually found a bedroom in one of the towers, which she decorated in shades of blue and light purple.
She was getting sick of the green and silver. Although she might still use it, just to annoy Dumbledore.
xXx
The next day Harmony explored some more, but she could not ignore the creeping feeling of lonelyness that was decending on her.
She tried to tell herself that her friends were fake, and only Siruis cared. She missed him so much.
Harmony read some books, tried every secret passage she found, tried cooking (a major flop), but she still could not ignore the loneliness.
She had never felt this alone, not even at the Dursleys.
Harmony finally decided to focus on trying to find her brother, Raidon.
Then she realised she had no idea how.
xXx
Harmony searched through the library, but found nothing. Her supply of food she had bought in Diagon ally was also running out.
She had found one thing though that might actually help her.
She held the map in he rhands again. Slytheirn castle was on a island, Slytherin Isle. It looked near the arctic.
Where she wanted to go was nowhere near that.
She looked at the small island that was her destination again, it was on the side of the world. Somewhere near South America.
She has seen the spell to make portkeys in some book, but she was nto going to risk landing in the Atlantic.
She finally decided to just order a destination chagneable portkey from Borgin & Brukes. She hoped that worked since they weren't the most trustworthy people.
The portkey was a simple golden ball. She looked at it, then said, the Great Silva Market. It glowed slightly.
Well, Harmony thought, now or never, before she nervoulsy thouched it.
She felt that awful tug at her navel as the world turned to a blur. The portkey ride felt as if it took longer that usual. Maybe that had something to do with tha fact that she was traveling halfway accross the world.
When it finally stopped, Harmony was standing on a wooden platform suspended between four giant trees. The trees were huge. She could see that some people had even made houses in the giant trunks.
More platforms and walkways were suspended between the trees and she could she people selling things and mysterious wizard buying.
Harmony felt disgust rise up in her as she saw several cages suspended from the trees, containg everything from house elves to magical creatures to wizards.
She could she someone trying to sell a beautiful young centuar filly. Apperantly wizards rode on centaurs in some countries.
She saw thousand of dark arts books, artifacts and potions being sold. She hated it. The wizards and animal that were being sold looked in a horrible condition. Some could not even stand up the cages were so small.
There was even a tank with merpeople in.
It was this that made Harmony finally appreciate wizarding Britain. Although it had its problems, the magical creatures there at least had some sense of self worth. Here the centaurs just looked resigned.
Suddenly a high, fear filled whiny, echhoed across the market. She turned to see a unicron straining against a cruel iron leash, tying to get to it filly.
Harmony felt tears well up in her eyes. She did not cry easily, but this was just horrible. She had know that the centre of all dark trade would be a cruel place, but this...
This was wizards at their lowest.
She swallowed and mentally promised that one day she owuld come back and stop this. Then she pulled her hood over her head and followed the walkway that lead to where the potions were sold.
The thick roof of leaves made it impossible for any light to filter through and the platforms and walkways were mostly lit with dull orange lamps and fires.
She eventually found the shop she was looking for and bought a dark black potion.
She then whispered,"Serpent's Lair."
She sighed in relief as she was finally able to breathe fresh air again. Then she grabbed the potion.
The book had said that it would only work for twins. It was supossed to show the twin whose blood was added to the ption where the other sibling was.
She held her breath, then with one quick cut she let her blood drip into the potion.
Slowly a dark mist started to rise form the bottle. Harmony watched as it slowly curled and twisted to make a picture.
She could make out a small cottage on some mountain. It was snowing fiercly, and she could literally feel the wind blowing.
The picture zoomed in on the cottage, and Harmony saw a teenage boy, her age.
He had dark hair and startlingly bright green eyes.
He radiated power, but there was a kind of saddness in his eyes. Harmony could sense something dark about him, but she could not quite figger out what.
She looked more closely. They looked exactly the same. Well, before she had changed her hair. She changed it back. Now he looked like a male version of her.
A smile crept onto her face. She had family! Real, actual family!
She grabbed her cloak and looked at the picture. She could read the name of the cottage: Hidden Drift.
Strange.
Oh, well she still had one of those portkeys left.
Time to pay a visit to her brother.
Thanks again for the surprising awesome feedback!
PLEASE REVIEW! Tell what you want to see more, give me ideas! Should I go more into the global dark arts world or back to wizarding Britain. I really enjoy world building.
Anyway, tell in a review! =)
