Chapter Two: The Pensieve Computer

Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter series. Inheritance cycle or any other world i decide to include in this worlds and character are the product of the imagination of their respective creators and i am simply playing with the characters and i am not making any profit.

All spells are in bold and also forgive me about the lack of the Ancient Language but I am still a rusty. Also a great thanks to everybody who has, is and will read this story. Translation of spells in the end of the chapter.

In the last two weeks Harry had been busy building a house and securing himself food ( mainly through hunting animals in the spire, with a little help from his magic and Eragon ). Building the house turned out to be quite easy, a few diffindo charms on the trees, a featherweight charm on the wood, a wingardium leviosa (who thought that spell might be useful in building a house), and a few defodios here and there and in less than two weeks he had built a house for himself.

Once the building was finished the undetectable expansion charm was put to good use making the house literally gigantic although a good part of it were occupied by Harry's arithmancy and potions laboratory. As for the potion laboratory, Harry had discovered that potion making wasn't much about the ingredients as it was about the wizards concentration on the effect the potion must have and that's why he had always sucked at potion's. Eragon and Roran had quickly became friends with Harry and just five days ago he had shown them his magic and had asked them to keep it a secret and with a few spells had made sure that if somehow anybody tried to take the knowledge from their minds (like with Legilimens).

Harry after having built his house now was trying to research on his latest idea. He had figured that to create a spell or even a ritual which could send him home even if it ended having the same effect as Tom's spell it would take him years and in the worst scenarios decades so he decided to create the magical equivalent of computers, of course to build from scratch would be impossible so he decided to base it from the arithmetic equation of pensieve and then modify its equation to do things like a calculator , gain his knowledge on arithmancy and how it worked directly from his mind, develop a limited ( hopefully) sentience, have unlike human computers unlimited memory and hopefully it would have enough equation resolving capacity to allow him to hopefully return to his original world within a year or two.

He had progressed considerably in the last two months but had hit a block when his equations showed that when it came time to share his knowledge with his pensieve computer it would absorb all his memories and he would have a perfect copy of him only without a soul and with higher calculating and problem solving problem. He knew the problem stood in the combination of the sevens with the other numbers especially the numbers ten and eleven, whose magical power rivaled those of the number seven and were somewhat in constant battle due to their chaotic nature which fell in contrast with the sevens ever-shifting nature . He had discovered those number magical importances during his research of the Deathly Hallows, which in some way had been connected with the actual phenomenon and had caused their magical structure to mutate so radically that within it had been introduced new numbers, even more than just ten and eleven but that were the only ones he could decipher.

This knowledge was kept secret from anyone except for Hermione, and even her knew only that he knew their powers and not what their actual powers were,- due to their potential to make dark curses even more powerful and destructive just like they could be used to enhance other type of spells and just because he didn't trust in the magical communities, moral integrity.

He had the choice to easily take them out of the equation but that would result in his pensieve computer to loose potency and there were no guaranty it would even work so he decided against it. When the he heard knocking on the door he jumped and immediately took his wand in his hand and carefully approached the door, you never know when someone might try to kill you especially the butcher Sloan, especially after he broke his nose when he tried to overcharge the door way stood Eragon and Roran with an evil smirk plastered across their face.

"Come on Harry we know you have important business to attend with your magic and all, but you need to go out a little and we figured you should come with us to celebrate Eragon's birthday" said Roran while that smirk never left his face

" Are you sure you just aren't planning to pull a prank on me because if you do than may whatever god you believe in have mercy on your soul because I certainly won't" He said with a smirk of his own theirs and watched with great amusement as they paled slightly at that threat before he burst out laughing and they relaxed slightly

No, seriously we came here because we rarely saw you this last month and you need a little time out of your house or you might go insane." said Eragon while trying not to smirk

"Well I guess it won't hurt to go out a little" said Harry while trying to restrain himself from just using Legilimens on the two of them because while it was a really useful skill especially during duels ,he hated entering someone's mind.

While they were walking towards the village he could hear Roran and Eragon whispering probably worried what Harry might do to them if I didn't like their little "surprise" because while I was their friend they had always lived in a isolated community and magic was feared and magic user even more. When they got to the village he understood why they had been whispering along the way, not because they were afraid of his reaction but whether the girl would accept to meet him.

The girl's name was Cecil and she was a friend of Katrina. She was quite sweet but Harry wasn't interested in a relationship at the moment, seeing as he would be gone, as soon as he created the necessary spells to return back to his world, well that and the fact that the lost of Ginny was still to fresh for him to even think about starting a new relationship. Finding a way to leave her company without hurting her self-confidence, Harry neared Eragon and Roran from behind, using the stealth gained from years of sneaking around Hogwarts with crazy ghosts, cats and caretakers,- combined with a slightly overpowered Silencio to get behind them unnoticed. As soon as he got there he gripped there arms, putting a great deal of his physical strength behind the grip. Harry had never been the strongest of people when it came to physical strength, even after he had finally had the time to cure himself from malnourishment he had suffered for most of his life,- that being said he had always kept himself fit through physical exercises meant to train Aurors and the magic in his body and blood made sure that while he was not inhumanly strong he was quite near the peak of human physical conditions.

"Thanks for the little "surprise", but if you even think of doing it again I will make sure that no woman under any circumstance will not even think of going near you. Am I understood?" He told them while squeezing their arms a little harder

"Okay, you could have just said so in instead of charging us like a crazed bull" said Eragon trying to wrest his arm from my grip

"Harry, can you forgive them for me"-said Katrina while smiling at the faces Eragon and Roran were making " it was mainly my idea to set you up with her"

" Can do, but only if you three promise to never do it again and when I say "ever" I really mean it " he told while releasing their arms

Then Harry felt a presence trying to enter his mind In my mind, acting through his duelist instincts, which were really good by the way,- he threw his most powerful occlumency shields up while trying to locate the source of the attempted intrusion and in about ten minutes, whom to him felt like ten hours he tracked the source of the attempted intrusion back to the villages story teller Brom, if he correctly remembered his name. After that Harry walked toward him but the Old man just turned around and began walking toward a secluded area of the village. Once they were away from the sight of any villager, Brom turned around with a speed that Harry couldn't believe was coming from an old man and proceeded to surprise him as with a strength that should be impossible in a young and healthy man, let alone and old and frail story teller, he slammed him against a nearby wall and put a dagger in his throat.

"How did the empire found I was here?" he asked with a menacing growl and Harry could tell from his aura that he was very well capable of killing him in a heartbeat.

"First of all I don't work for the empire and second what the hell is a magic user doing here disguised as a story teller " Harry asked hoping he wouldn't have to resort to magic because if he was discovered the empire would take him and place him as a magician in Galbatorix army and although Harry could always escape that would bring trouble to Carvahall as a whole.

"Then where did you learn to form that kind of mind defenses" he said with suspicion creping in his voice probably because he could feel the sincerity coming from Harry's mind.

"You wouldn't believe me" Harry said while trying to project sincerity without dropping his mental walls because for as long as he willed them to be in place it would take thousands of the best legilimens to enter his mind without his consent and the form of legilimens Brom was using was incredibly weak in comparison to Harry's form.

"Try me" he said.

"Ok, but remember you asked for it" he said before whispering- "ostendo memoriae "

Harry really wouldn't like to be him right now because this spell broke thought his mind walls entered his chosen memories of his world to him, although he didn't like using mental manipulation spells (though they weren't hard to use or even rare back in his own world, especially memory spells),- he wasn't about to let him into his mid, despite his Aura telling Harry that he could be trusted and Aura's were never wrong as they were a representation of ones mind, soul and spirit . After a few minutes he recovered and said:

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, well more like with my mind, I wouldn't have believed it" he said visibly shaken , however if he was shaken about the fact my spell tore down his mental walls so easily or because of the information he received Harry couldn't tell, probably it was both.

"Tell me about it" I said before noticing something about his aura "do you by any chance happen to be related to Eragon, at least by blood"

"Yes, I'm his father and would like it to remain a secret for now and how the hell did you know" he told Harry while his aura told me he really was shocked and afraid he would tell Eragon

"Your aura is so similar to his and such resemblance happens only to those connected by family bonds or if you were his soul mate, which I seriously doubt because last I checked he still was attracted to women" Harry said leaving him even more puzzled.

"Its not I don't trust you but could you take an oath in the Ancient Language so that I know you wont just tell him once you are gone" he said eyeing Harry warily

"Your aura tells me to trust you and your decision but if I know something is that oaths are not to be taken lightly so you wont mind if I just take your knowledge regarding the Ancient Language directly from your mind so as to save us both time"- Harry said to him.

"If you can get thought my mental defenses than you are welcome"- he said with a grin that was so similar to Eragon's

"eximere scientia" Harry whispered and immediately he felt the knowledge enter his mind, everything Brom knew about the Ancient Language and as consequence magic, tough the fine uses of it still eluded him as those were only gained with experience.

" Incredible you just ignored my mental defenses although they are some of the best defenses in the whole world"- he said with awe in his voice

At that moment Harry formulated and spoke his promise and made that in pain of death although he left a loophole, if Brom died than Harry would be free to tell Eragon the truth about his parentage.

Harry spent the rest of the night with Brom comparing their worlds magic and then while contemplating about the differences of his and Eragon's aura it struck Harry, the solution of the problem stood in the numbers ( seven, ten ,eleven) chaotic nature being to alike to actually work together so if he put a few other numbers in the middle they would serve to create enough difference to actually allow them to work together. With that idea in mind he simply apparated to his home even forgetting to say goodbye to Brom.

In a week days Harry had finally completed his first prototype of the Pensieve computer and it proved a success but it would still take about three months to actually finish the world jumping spell with all the requirements Harry had asked for and all the other side projects he wanted to finish before living especially the magic powers of the number 0.1. Now Harry could just relax for the next three weeks because soon he would be home.

ostendo memoriae – literally meaning show memories

eximere scientia – meaning take knowledge
