Tick Tock Chapter 6, a Harry Potter + Homestuck Crossover fanfic

Chpt. 6

Karkat was standing on the Land of Pulse and Haze. A dark shadow fell on him from above, and he felt his insides freeze up. Fear coursed through his veins, because he knew no one would be there to bail him out. He found Terezi standing next to him, and he had to watch as the monster plunged its sword into her gut.

He fell down next to her, sobbing mutant red tears. Her teal blood pooled out in a puddle underneath her and soaked into his clothes as he held her close. Noir wasted no time in getting rid of his next victim, departing in a green flash.

And then Karkat was drowning, LOPAH covered in a sea of candy red and teal blood. And then more colors, and he was soaked in all the colors of the rainbow. He was choking, gagging on the sour blood, screaming for someone who could get rid of the pain. His chest hurt so much, the pain felt so real, and-

Karkat woke up, his red-tinted sweat staining the sheets he had been lying on. Terezi was next to him, shaking him. And he was screaming, and then she sat next to him, and he knew he had to stop crying before any of the humans came in.

Terezi sat next to him, not saying a word, but she didn't have to. Just her presence was enough to soothe his fears.

Harry and Ron opened the door, a nervous Hermione trailing behind them. Each looked apprehensively at Karkat. Terezi, sensing a tantrum, moved to the other side of the room and held her hands close to her ears.

Ron looked closer at his face, "Are you bleeding?" Karkat promptly freaked the f*** out.

"WHAT SORT OF NOOK-SNIFFERS THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO INTRUDE ON THE TINY F***ING BIT OF PRIVACY I GET!? NO, I AM NOT F***ING BLEEDING!" Karkat wiped the remains of the tears away from his face. Terezi laughed silently behind her hand, and went unnoticed by Karkat.

Hermione was staring at Karkat's red-stained sheets, her eyes wide with wonder. "Why's your bed stained?" she asked meekly.

"CAN ANY OF YOU ASSWIPES GET IT THROUGH YOUR ROTTED THINK PANS THAT I WANT SOME F***ING PRIVACY!?"

Harry raised his hands and tried to placate Karkat, who was shouting incomprehensible strings of insults, quickly turning very red in the face. Harry pulled Ron out of the room, as Hermione had already retreated to the safety of the hall.

"Bloody hell, that guy has a temper," Ron said right before the door was slammed in his face.

Karkat was very angry, but also scared. After all, they had seen his tears. It didn't help that they were the color of his blood, but it was that he had been crying over a stupid horrorterror that scared him. He had them almost every night, and he was reduced to a f***ing wiggler.

"Hey Karkat?"

"Yes Terezi?" he answered grumpily.

"You have a change of clothes, right?"

"Yes, of course I do. I alchemized some on the meteor just in case. Because I actually captalogue useful items."

"We need to talk about what happened," Terezi said changing the subject, ominously serious. Karkat was about to answer, but the door creaked open. He growled at it, like it would make it close again. It didn't, so he got up and shut it with a loud bang.

"Yeah, like why I don't f***ing remember anything about the new session."

"And why I'm blind again. Not that I'm complaining, though," she said with a smirk.

"Yeah, well good for you, but we have bigger problems. Like why we're f***ing humans."

Terezi grinned, "Yeah, that's kind of an important thing right now."

"No f***ing kidding."

Terezi laughed at Karkat, "But you don't look that different. You had such tiny nubs anyway."

Karkat glared at Terezi evilly, "They are not that f***ing small."

"Yes they are."

Karkat grimaced, but pushed on. "Now is not the f***ing time to discuss my perfectly normal horns. We have more important things to deal with."

Terezi gave a mock bow, "Yes, oh great leader."

"I gave that up. I don't want to be responsible for other people's mistakes. Especially now that they're all alive again. How the f***does that happen anyway?"

Terezi shrugged, "F*** if I know."

"Well, this is all fine and dandy, but we need to know what happened after we got to the new session. What can you remember?"

Terezi frowned, "I think I was on LOLAR with Rose. That's about all I can remember."

"Well, I remember Kanaya buying some blood off of John's evil f***ing grandma, so there's not much there."

Terezi raised her eyebrows, "Kanaya bought some blood from the Condesce? I could definitely use that in some blackmail."
"I just said it was John's evil grandma, not Her Imperious Condescension. How rotted is your think pan anyway?"

Terezi scoffed, "My think pan is just fine, it's your mutant little think pan that's rotted. Grandma Crocker was being controlled by the Condesce, remember?"
"I don't give a f***."

"Just out of curiosity," Terezi continued, "Who's blood was it? And how much did it cost?"
"Everyone who died on the meteor that one day. And a f***ing lot of boonbucks. Several million I think."
"Oh. I bet there wasn't that much violet left." Terezi began to cackle, and Karkat, promptly ignoring her, remembered something that he should have remembered earlier.

"Oh right, Crocker speared me through the chest with her spork, and then brought me back to life."

"Did she?"

"Yeah. It f***ing hurt. I want to kill the f***ing nook sniffer."

"I'm sure it did Nubby. I'm sure it did." Karkat muttered some insults directed at her, but Terezi just laughed them off.

"We should go down before the mother lusus starts to worry." Karkat nodded, but not before saying, "I'm going to see if Sollux found anything new." He pulled out his husktop and growled at it a bit, but eventually he and Terezi left the room together. Unbeknownst to either of them, there were three very stunned Gryffindors in the room.

"Bloody Hell."

Ah, more plot advances. Little shorter than usual, but whatever. So much fluff UwU CAN U GUESS WHO I SHIP? HAHA

SORRY IF KARKAT/TEREZI IS OUT OF CHARACTER.
