My cosmic friend
Harry stood up, the steam dissipating. Stark bollock naked. The males turned away, with Connie turning away the slowest. The women stared, Hanji was amzed.
Harry, looked like he had been chiselled from stone. His body thin and wiry but covered in muscle and emblazoned with scars "Harry, get some pants on." Snapped Krista.
Harry shook his head and grabbed Berthold's spare trousers. The one thing they had not anticipated was the height, Harry would be after the ritual.
Berthold was easily the tallest member of the Scouts aside from Mike Zacharias. Berthold came in at 6'2 and Mike at 6'4. Harry came in at 6'3 so Bertholds pants were slightly too short, Harry shrugged. He'd sort that out later.
"Could we get some answers please?" Asked Erwin stepping forwards "I'm Erwin Smith, I'm Head of the Scouts."
Harry nodded "Sure, first of all…I need to go see a man about a horse."
"A horse will be issued to you in the morning." Erwin said and Levi shook his head.
"The guy needs to go and have a piss. He was being polite about it."
Erwin nodded, Harry vanished almost sprinting for the trees. Unbeknownst to him, Krista had used the distraction to follow him at a distance. Harry groaned in relief as he recalled his last moments.
He remembered going on a raid of Death Eaters…That was a rouse, it turned out that the Weasley's had been manipulating him ever since he met them and they were going to make him out to be a Dark Lord, once Ginny had given birth.
Harry remembered heading to Gringotts, handing over Gryffindor's Sword as he promised along with a missing prized Goblin artefact he had found before the Room of Requirement went up in flames.
Harry had emptied his vaults and asked the Goblins to acquire some exceptionally deadly creatures to place in his vaults along with his Broomstick and a few other Nick-Knacks. He had re-written his will and promptly vanished.
He acquired various books, potions ingredients etc. and using some rituals placed a homing spell on them and locked them in stasis to remain concealed until he came back to life.
He was subsequently stunned by Hermione and the Weasley family. Even magically depleted it took at least eighteen stunning spells to render him unconscious. After a sham trial, he was forced through the Veil of Death.
After that he did not know what had happened. After walking through the Veil, he had met Death herself. He had handed her over the Wand, Cloak and Ring for a new life with everything he had sealed away in his trunk and full access to his magical capabilities.
Death had grinned and told him "It would be a while before he could get his body back."
Then he woke up in the stone, waiting for someone to find him. He finished his business and he walked flat into Krista "It's me in the flesh His."
Krista grinned and jumped into his arms "I've waited thirteen years to do that."
"Was it worth it?" Harry asked.
Krista applied more pressure to him, despite being a foot and a half smaller, she had some decent strength. "Yes…Now I have to beat the rest of them away from you."
"Jealous?"
"Slightly…I mean you were and are my best friend, big brother, teacher and everything else. I do not remember a time when I have not had you around to talk to me. Is it wrong to say I wish you were still in the stone?"
"Not at all because you could curtail me on a whim. Now you've unleashed me completely and utterly." Harry said grinning at her.
"His, I have one question."
"Yes."
"How did you get Eren to donate his hand?"
Krista smirked coldly at him "Simple, Ymir told me that even in human form Titan Shifters can regenerate body parts…Captain Levi, Jean Kirchstein and Reiner Braun were rather ENTHUSIASTIC at restraining him whilst the first was rather gleeful at cutting off the limb. Hanji…The one with glasses/goggles."
"Brown hair? Few screws loose and rather nice derrière…WHAT…I'm allowed to look aren't I?"
(Courtyard)
'WHAT… I'm allowed to look aren't I?' The scouts looked at each other.
"Krista and Harry are having an interesting conversation. Now if we're quiet we may get some blackmail." Said Eren, he was slightly pissed off that Harry had manipulated his friends and superior into cutting his hand off. Yes it regrew, but it was the principle of the matter.
'You mean to tell me, the first thing you did was look at the commander for the Head of Titan Research Squad's ass!'
'I'm…seventeen…no…fuck it…invenies annos meos…Twenty five…Happy? I'm a twenty five year old, genie/spirit/sorcerer thing in a brand new body about quite possibly die tomorrow and you're concerned that I like an older woman. I told you when you eighteen that I swung both ways.'
(Re-joining everyone)
As Krista and Harry emerged from the forest, they noticed a bunch of laughing and slightly red faced scouts. "Soo, what did you mean by nice derrière?" Asked Hanji, striking whilst the iron was hot metaphorically.
Harry flushed red, as Krista let go as the older woman pulled Harry into an arm bar as she began to give him a once over. "Means…nice…ass…shit…you heard that."
Hanji nodded "Yup. So you swing both ways and like older women. What about guys?"
Harry gulped "Not my preference. Depends on how much I need it."
"Can you control your urges?" Asked Levi.
Harry snorted "I can eat hallucinogenic mushrooms in vast quanitities that should be fatal and the effects do not really affect me. Although, I will feel like old horse there has drop kicked me in the head."
Jean snorted, he had drop kicked a few members of his training corps and it had been referred to as being kicked by a mule.
Harry found himself in Erwin's office. Harry sat back rather unconcerned about the potential interrogation. "What do you want to know?"
"The basics, but we need assurances that you…"
"…I'm not pulling your leg or conning you into a false sense of security."
Erwin looked at Harry slightly surprised "How did…"
"Body language. It says a lot about someone. Your friend in the corner, he's trying to show that he's not interested in what I have to say but, the fact that he's standing with arms behind his back and head tilted is telling me he is interested. Okay, I, Hadrian 'Harry' James Potter, Head of the Most Ancient and Noble Houses of Potter, Black and Peverelle do hearby swear on my life and magic that everything I say from here on out is the full undisclosed truth. So it has been said, so it has been heard and so it has been witnessed, so mote it be."
"So mote it be." Said Levi.
"So mote it be." Finished Erwin.
With that, Harry took a deep breath and he began to speak. He told them everything, he even demonstrated a few of the things he could do such as, taking one of the disposable blades from one Hanji, running his hand along it, before splitting the paperwork and table in half before repairing it with a wave of his wrist.
"You can make the blades cut through anything, eternally sharp…Can you do stuff with our canisters."
"What do you want? Fire? Never Ending Gas? Lightning bolts? Although the elemental effects run the chance of blowing up on you."
"We'll stick with the never ending gas."
Harry carried on as he explained some of the other inventions from his Earth and to say the least, some of the muggle military truly had Erwin and Levi's attention such as 'High Impact High Explosive' rounds and Anti-Material rounds and the weaponry.
Erwin stopped the conversation "Can we carry this on at another point in time? Where are you going to sleep?"
Harry smiled crookedly "Wherever, whoever wants me Commander. In all seriousness I'll probably crash with Krista…Don't worry no funny business will be occurring at all."
"What makes you say that?" Said Levi.
Harry grinned stretched and fell out of his seat and shifted into the form of a massive wolf. Levi, Hanji and Erwin leapt backwards "That is SO COOL!" Screamed Hanji, her eyes glittering with madness and excitement "Can I stroke you? Can I feel you? What does it feel like when you become a different animal?"
"Hanji, leave it."
The door opened and Harry left. He closed his eyes and he began to move down the corridor. His form caused several people to freak out, eventually he found Krista's room and raising a paw, he knocked on the door.
Krista opened it and she smiled when she saw the wolf sitting there. "No looking." Harry dutifully curled up at the end of the bed as Krista finished getting changed.
"Night, Harry."
Harry rumbled something back, before quietly and ever so carefully climbed onto the bed, curled up at Krista's feet and fell asleep.
(Next Morning)
Krista found herself near where her feet would be and she was using the massive wolf as a pillow. There was a wrapping on the door, Harry jerked awake as Krista rolled out of bed.
She opened the door and Hanji burst in "Krista Lenz, I'm looking for a wolf, about the size of a pony." Krista grinned, as Harry raised his gianormous head.
Hanji squealed as Harry lumbered over to her. He then stamped his feet and tried to get her to budge. Krista who had a dog during her time in isolation recognised the sign "Hanji-san, you may want to let him out…" Hanji nodded, she knew what Krista was going to say, she opened the door and Harry tore out. His sense of smell directed him to the communal bathrooms that were split into two.
Harry shifted back into his human form and locked himself in a cubicle. Harry finished his business and found himself bumping into Reiner "Morning."
"Morning. We got a room set up for you…We wanted to chat. That's all the 104th to be fair. Where were you?"
"Krista…Now gotta go, Hanji's gotta do some needle work and sign me out some gear and then I've work to do. Joy."
Reiner grinned "Why do you say that?"
"Reiner, I can bend reality to my will…You saw what I did to those Titans. Anyway Levi wants me to do some stuff with his squads gear and all of you are like Magpies to shiny objects. Fascinated. I can guarantee at least one person's going to be splinched because they did not listen."
"What's splinched?"
Harry grinned "Painful for the subject. Hilarious to everyone else…And a ball ache for me. I'll have to go rooting through several timelines, different dimensions just to find whatever is incomplete."
Reiner winced. Harry slipped past him, somehow along the way outside, Harry received a shirt and jacket. The shirt found its way around him by melting and reforming as he made his way down the stairs and the jacket Harry chucked on as he met Hanji and Erwin in the Courtyard.
"We are going to need to assess your abilities on the ODM. Omni…"
"Directional Manuever Gear. Allows for assisting Humanity to fight against Titans in an 3-Directional Space. I watched, learnt and listened as Keith lectured them. I assisted Krista in passing her competence test…Just issue me the gear."
Soon enough, Harry was issued his gear and Hanji with great enthusiasm helped Harry, attach it to him. "Can totally adapt this to make it more streamlined, less cumbersome. Anyway where's the training area."
"You have enough to figure out which trigger does what." Erwin said answering Harry's unasked question. The break guard opened the gripping system that allowed them to release worn down Titan Rending Blades. The top box trigger released the grappling line and hook and the bottom trigger recalled them. On the sides were another button which released more gas to speed up the movement through the air and a wheel guide which raised and lowered the projectile line.
Harry plugged a set of blades in and nonchalantly took flight. Mikasa and Levi's mouths were slightly open, along with Jean and Connie. Those two were some of the best with the ODM Gear and yet Harry made it look like he wasn't trying.
Harry swore, he not anticipated the first titan, he fired his left trigger, recalled it and let out a blast of gas, wrenching him out of the way and upwards. A titan shaped like an abnormal was on top of him, Harry swapped the blades into a reverse grip, fired his grapple lines and he began to spin. The weak section and head fell apart.
Harry launched himself forwards, releasing his blades which cut through the nape of two more Titans and he ploughed on. The rest of the course was far too simple and soon enough he zoomed out of the forest. He shot vertically upwards, switched back and finished off with a text book landing on a horse.
One small problem, mass and speed still registered in the impact and Harry turned grey. "Harry, are you okay? Harry, are you okay? Harry, are you okay?" The last one he registered, he found himself looking into the concerned face of Mikasa Ackerman.
Harry concentrated "I…need…some…ice." He growled but he could tell it came out relatively high pitched.
Harry got off the horse and collapsed to his knees "I'm okay 95% of the body…my fucking balls."
