Chapter Begin
17th of November, 2001
Oa, Meeting Room
"Thank you for making haste upon your arrival, Green Lantern of Sector 2814." stated a short, blue humanoid being with short white hair that wore red and white robes.
This was Sayd, one of the Guardians of the Universe, the race who founded the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic police force who gained power from their power rings which channelled the green energy of willpower. Sayd was standing alongside another of the Guardians by the name of Ganthet who could be distinguished by the ponytail that he held his hair in. The two of them unlike the majority of the Guardians who preferred to do things logically and by the book, allowed themselves to feel emotions and therefore could best sympathise with other sentient beings and understand that sometimes rules need to be bent.
"What did the two of you need me for, especially when I've only just returned from patrolling my sector?" This was asked by the Green Lantern of Sector 2814, otherwise known as Harry Potter.
In the three years since he had become a Green Lantern, Harry had greatly matured and now stood at 5'10" and while retaining a wiry build now had a considerable amount of dense, compact muscle covering his frame. He now grew his jet black hair to around shoulder length and no longer needed glasses due to having his vision corrected by the advanced medical technology that was available on Oa. Harry had also had gained two major scars to accompany the lightning bolt shaped on his brow, a jagged white scar that ran from his left eye to his jaw and clean one that ran from his right shoulder halfway to his left hip. Finally, Harry had also forgone the usual Green Lantern uniform that their power rings generated which was in the design of a skin-tight bodysuit and instead wore his personalized uniform which was designed in the shape of a thin suit of plate armour that covered his arms, legs, hands, feet, shoulders and chest with the green lantern emblem engraved on the chest (Similar to Gilgamesh's armour in Fate/Zero).
Harry hadn't just matured physically since he had become a Green Lantern; he'd also changed mentally as well. Harry was now much more jovial than he had been during his years as a wizard and held himself with a quiet confidence that was missing during his teen years. He was also much calmer and no longer prone to outbursts of rage due to gaining considerable control over his temper through meditation.
"The Corps has gained a new recruit since you were last on Oa. Her name is Arisia Rabb and she is the new Green Lantern of 2815, originating from Graxos IV. Unfortunately, she is still several years from adulthood and following the regulation you proposed to the Guardians all adolescent members of the corps must be mentored by a senior Green Lantern for a period of no less than one year in order to lessen the number of casualties, while a member of the Honour Guard temporarily takes over the adolescent Lantern's sector. Therefore, we would like you to take her on as your student until you believe she is ready to take on the duty of watching over her sector." replied Ganthet.
"You want me to teach the new Lantern?" whispered an overwhelmed Harry. "I would have thought that you'd choose someone more like Sinestro."
"While Sinestro is an excellent Green Lantern, I don't believe he possesses the necessary qualities to be able to mentor an adolescent properly." Ganthet continued "furthermore we have been informed that you have previous experience in successfully teaching a number of school students around the same age as Arisa, as such we believe that you are the best choice for her mentor. Do you accept this responsibility Green Lantern Harry Potter?"
Harry was conflicted on one hand he would be able to help ensure that a new recruit wasn't sent into the field alone without enough training and experience and on the other if he failed he would have to live with the fact that he had lead a child to their death.
After several minutes of thought Harry finally answered confidently with a slight waver in his voice "I would be honoured to take on this responsibility Guardians."
"Very well, this meeting is concluded. Report here at 0900 hours tomorrow to meet your new student" said Sayd.
With that said the two Guardians turned and levitated from the meeting room, leaving Harry alone with his thoughts.
AN: Sorry its taking me so long to complete this chapter, but unfortunately I don't have much time where I can just sit down and type out blocks of writing. I'll do my best to get this chapter finished by mid February at the latest. I'm also still looking for someone who can draw a cover picture for this story, so if your interested please let me know. Thanks for being patient everyone and Happy New Year!
