Omniscient and omnipresent narrator

For the last three weeks Brom and Harry had been trying to teach Eragon as much as they could without revealing their secret before it was actually time for Eragon to learn about it. Brom had been telling the original story of the Riders Fall and since that had sounded interesting to Eragon he had asked of Brom to tell him all he knew about dragon and their Riders and he had complied although only after putting a show of him being to afraid of the Empire to actually tell him but he would tell him because he liked him.

Harry on the other hand had began teaching him the basic rules of magic, swordplay (since it would look weird for Brom a storyteller to teach him that) and everything he knew about plants and animals of this world, well not everything but just enough that he would recognize many of them and at the same time not raise any suspicion in Eragon.

Eragon's brain was like a sponge, the boy absorbed everything Harry taught him and he always wanted more, thankfully, Brom had accepted to share with him the knowledge about this worlds plants and animals because there were many species he didn't know about and let's face it Harry didn't know much about his worlds animals and plant species. He was almost sorry that he had to leave Eragon and Brom alone to face Galbatorix but he had to return back to his world because there he had left his friends waiting for him and his godson Teddy, which he really missed.

The pensieve computer had calculated that the world jumping spell would be ready by tomorrow afternoon and he really needed to get going because the pensieve computer, which Harry nicknamed "Moody" because it resembled the real Moody in that it was always impatient about him trying its new spells especially the new wards which could be anchored to a person and that he must always be vigilant because you might never knew when danger might come, Harry doubted that it was just worried that somebody might steal it especially since he had told it that there were none like it in both worlds, something he was rally coming to regret now that he had to deal with a computers over inflated ego.

- "Okay Eragon I think its enough for today, and I am really tired" Harry said while thinking "at least I only got two bruises from training with Brom today"

- "Seriously, couldn't you stay here a bit more?" Eragon asked while making a puppy face.

- "I need to rest and so do you, and don't try that puppy face on me because it won't work" Harry told him but if he kept that puppy face for a little longer he might just do what he wanted, to bad it that wouldn't work on enemies which got him thinking" hell I'm thinking like Brom now, that's creepy"

- "Okay, but you will stay a little longer tomorrow, please" he said.

- "We'll see" Harry said unsure whether I would actually see him tomorrow "at least from my point of view" Harry said in his mind since he had included a request in the pensieve computer that if the spell didn't work correctly and it sent him to a different world he could always return here at the same moment, from their perspective,- that he left,it never hurt to have a little extra security.

He left without saying a word trying to break him with a silent treatment but Harry just didn't pay any attention at that attempt to bend his will and apparated home. As he sat on his couch (that he had permanently conjured) he felt somebody move from the shadows and sent a wandless stunner, which due to his immense raw power was quite powerful wand or not,- but the shadowy figure blocked it with a movement of his arm and a flash of red. He immediately recognized the Aura of Brom and Za'rock and refrained himself from blowing the whole house up

- "You know Brom you are lucky I just didn't kill you" Harry said off handedly.

- "You couldn't do that even if you tried with all your power"- he said with a smirk releasing his shadow cloaking spell.

- "You know I can sense every spell around me" Harry told to him with a smirk.

- "Yes but there are already a lot of spells on this place and you won't have noticed one more"- Brom said while sitting in a couch directly opposite to my own couch.

- "True but I could still sense an aura although I acted before I knew whose aura it was" Harry admitted sheepishly.

- "Don't worry kid that kind of reflexes might just save your life in a real battle or in case someone tries to assassinate you"- he said while lighting his pipe.

- "Why we don't just skip the pleasantries and we get to the point" Harry said feeling too tired to keep arguing with him about my resolve to avoid killing any human being.

- "I just wanted to ask how Eragons training is going?" he asked although I could tell it was a lie.

- "The training is going fine but you don't want to know that so what is it that you want?" Harry asked him while looking him in the eyes.

- "I wanted to know when are you planning to leave for your home" he said while he stared intently into Harry's eyes and he was willing to bet his life that he was monitoring his feelings since he couldn't get past his defenses and directly read his thought s on the matter.

- "Hopefully tomorrow but I will be back before you know I am gone" Harry said resorting to actually telling him the truth after all there was he could do to stop him even if he tried because he had no idea how powerful he truly was "the third in my world with only a Romanian and an American wizard quite advanced in age were more powerful than me, and even more than Tom and Dumbledore for that matter"

- "How is that possible"- he said with a surprised yelp

- "A quirk of world jumping magic I think" Harry answered with a shrug.

- "Well that resolves the problem of Eragon needing your support through all of this"- he said and got up

- "Don't worry I shall come back to help Eragon as soon as possible" Harrysaid the last part in the Ancient Language binding himself to Eragons cause.

- "Than goodbye and thank you for your assistance "- he said while walking towards the door and going out.

- "Don't worry about it" Harry whispered " I think that Eragon reminds me of myself and I would have liked somebody to help me shoulder that responsibility out of his own free will rather than from obligation"

Harry woke up really glad that this day had arrived at last well at least until he remembered his"torture" session with Brom. In twenty minutes he was in the clearing where they practiced regularly in both magic and swordplay and found him there with his sword already blunted, he could tell from the magic coating the blade.

Today there was no banter as usual but they just launched against each other with everything we had, for twenty minutes they used every trick in the book and a few that they had invented during their training but none of us could gain the upper hand that was until he noticed he was sweating and if he could just hold on a little longer, he would win because he would have exhausted all his energy but as if he had heard Harry's thought he suddenly looked invigorated and Harry knew he had drawn energy from his ring and that pissed him off, enough to try using a daring technique, it involved lots of fainting and left a gap in your defenses that's why he hadn't t used it before but he decided to relay on his speed not to get hit and amazingly it worked and five seconds latter he was looking down on a dumbstruck Brom which was sporting a bruise between the fourth and the fifth rib.

- "I think I just defeated the great Brom" Harry said while laughing out loud.

- "Okay great kid that was just a coincidence" he said while getting up.

- "Yeah right you had more energy than I, so how was that a coincidence?" Harry asked looking as smug as Malfoy himself.

- "Don't get your hopes up kid, just because you defeated me it doesn't mean you will be capable of defeating an Elf or a Shade"he said while getting into his sparring stance again.

They continued sparring for another two hours in which Harry defeated him three times and one of them while using his left arm, he was really glad that he had cast the ambidextrous charm on himself when he had started to train with Brom, so now he could fight with equal skill and strength in both arms. After he finished his training with Brom, Harry apparated into his home, where "Moody" downloaded, for a lack of a better word,- the world jumping spell into his mind, making him quite nervous at the though that he would be returning home very soon, like pronounce-a-spell soon.

"its now or never" Harry said in his mind while his heart started beating like crazy in anticipation of what he was about to do.

"Recludere unus portalis inter mundi" Harry said and a vortex of swirling energy, that shinned with all the colors known to mankind,- opened right in front of him and Harry jumped in. He felt a sensation similar to that of a portkey and when he faced the world barrier again he felt the energy demands on his coire increase but never did it was one third of what Tom's spell had required, making its sustainment hard but not totally draining and painful like before, this spell worked as a bistury, opening a hole large enough to fit him, whether Tom's spell was a sledgehammer, opening a massive hole, thus waisting a lot of energy uselessly in the effort to open a hole in something as resistant as a World Barrier

When he got into his world he found himself in the Ancestral home of the House Potter. He called the house elves present there and changed his clothes, took a shower, ate some food before apparating into the Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, in London; luckily they hadn't yet unkeyed him from the wards, saving him from a horrible splinching. He simply passed through the halls of the headquarters, gaining him a few gasps of surprise from the people that saw him but otherwise nobody tried to stop him as he entered the meeting room, from which he sensed Hermione's and Ron's magical signature. When he entered inside saw Hermione, Ron now sporting a nasty scar along his face and neck, Alexandru Damian the only other wizard in Europe who was more powerful than me and at the same time he also was the prime minister of the MEF,- looking down into a map of Europe along with many other members of the Order both some that I knew and others that I didn't know.

- "So I'm gone for a four months and you get yourself into trouble" Harry said trying to make a joke.

- "Oh my god Harry were have you been all of this time" Hermione said as she hugged Harry before I could react

- "You know, I just decided to take a stroll around and forgot to return " replied Harry with a grin

- "Bloody hell mate, I hate to break this to you but you have been gone for year now, the date is 23 march 2002 today and we aren't in trouble, we are at war, at war with the bloody Vampires and we are loosing" he said the last part with a rage that surprised Harry who though he would never hear that kind of poison dripping from his friends voice.

The information Ron gave him caused his grin to fall and look around the room and berate himself for not seeing the signs sooner. However what he really was thinking was one sentence that kept rolling in his head "What the hell have I gotten myself into"
