Chapter eleven: Training and Returning
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.
It felt weird to enter an unstable world, its reality wall so fragile that it would take so little for them to collapse but his coming stabilized them even if it was for a small while (a decade but in the life spawn of a world that is very little). He landed into a rocky desert, it wasn't so far from his destination especially as he felt a presence near him. Harry wasn't afraid, this world was created by his imagination so this place was the safest there was but he was still very nervous, not the bad kind but the kind when you get a present for Christmas and you can't wait to unwrap it.
The man, that came near him, was 190-195 cm tall, a muscular built but not overly so, he had brown hair and eyes, those eyes reminded Harry of the image of his father he had seen in his first year and his aura radiated warmth, knowledge and power, a lot of power, his aura resembled a billion supernovas brightness collected in one (yeah he has read a lot of muggle literature). He was wearing only a pair of brown pants and a grey shirt but with the heat in this place it wasn't a surprise.
"Hello traveler" the man said with an even tone.
"Hello do you know where may I find an Inn or a hotel?" asked Harry knowing this people had no such thing but he had to play the part.
"No but you can stay at my home, my wife will be very happy to have a guest" said the man with a smile" my name is Aran Sigurour and yours?"
"Mine is Harry potter, sir, may I inquire how far your home from here is since I'm a bit… well tired?" asked Harry gauging his reaction to this request.
"Oh yes I forgot you have traveled between worlds and that takes very much from one" said the man as he took a medallion from under his shirt and suddenly they were in the middle of a town, it resembled an old western movie town.
"Yes thank you , sir" said Harry feeling a bit tired, after all he done some impressive spell work before coming here.
"You're welcomed kid" said the Aran as he entered the first house on the right-"come on or my wife will definitively kill me"
Harry entered the house and was surprised as he though a race as powerful as this would display objects of power a bit more instead he saw a hallway, filled with as far as he could tell, flowers and few pieces of furniture. They entered a gigantic room (small to this races way of measuring) which was filled with bookshelves filled with books of every genre except for magic books as this race couldn't use magic the way most races did, in the middle a very large table that could hot up to two hundred people, flowers decorating the entire place and a lot of sofas and couches. In one of them stood a woman with red hair, green eyes, so much like Harrys own, a few cm shorter than her husband and very good loking despite the age she must have.
"So you're the world traveler we felt?" She asked although she already knew the answer-"sit you must be hungry" she said as plates full with delicious food appeared on the table.
"Thank you madam" said Harry as he began to eat.
"No need for formality boy, just call me Sophie" said the woman laughing.
"Only if you stop calling me boy or kid" said Harry.
"Sorry but you are that, but a child in comparison to us" said Aran.
"I know it's rude to ask but how old are you?" asked Harry genuinely interested.
"I am a trillion years old and my wife is almost the same except she is a millennia younger than me" said Aran as if that was the most normal thing in the Existence.
"Well that explains why your Aura's are so bright" said Harry.
"You can see Aura's?"-asked Aran and when he got a nod from Harry, he continued "don't ever try to enter our minds, the walls we have placed there are for your safety, get past them and you will go mad"
"How did you know I can read minds?" asked Harry wondering if they read his mind.
"Well once you can read Aura's then minds are pretty simple" said Sophie.
"Why aren't you threatened from me, I mean somebody comes from a different world and you invite him in your house?" asked Harry in order to get them to tell him their full history.
"I'll tell you our history and then you will get why we aren't afraid of you, well except the fact that I saw your soul" said Aran smiling.
"Oh dear I should better get some tea, that's going to be a long history" said Sophie as she quickly left.
"You see we are the most powerful beings in this world, we have defeated Gods and Eldritch beings but our power isn't within us but in what we can create, what we create with a special intent gains immense powers and then we use this objects to well do whatever we like" said Aran-"it all began a trillion and five millennia's ago when we first discovered our power, from there we advanced and became rulers of the universe and immortal. After ten thousand years the Gods of this universe tried to destroy us but we retaliated and destroyed them for good and from there we explored the whole of the universe and a great deal of this worlds dimensions but after three hundred billion years it got boring so we set out to explore new worlds"
"A great time that I still remember our fifteenth honey moon when you took me on a tour around our surrounding multi-verse" said Sophie as she entered the room, behind her trailing a few cups of tea made out of unbreakable porcelain.
"Where were we, oh yes, our exploratory age lasted a good four hundred billion years during which we explored a lot of worlds, in some we were remembered as benevolent gods and in other as destructors, in some we destroyed all life all of them accidents of course. When we returned all the young races of the universe had evolved into very advanced cultures both magically and technologically and to prove their might they tried to defeat us, of course we defeated them but still they went against us again and again so we were forced for the sake of the fabric of reality to wipe them all out" said Aran with regret in his voice.
"Such a shame but they left us no choice, I still remember the feeling of all life except us being snuffed out in an instant" said Sophie with a small tear in her eye.
"Indeed such a shame, after such an act we retreated in our planet and created the most powerful spell ever and we merged our planet with an infinite plane and to explain to you we use objects to put our will over magic and reality. We now live scattered among our infinite planet in settlements of a few hundreds awaiting for the Cleansing" explained Aran.
"The Cleansing?" asked Harry although he knew what the Cleansing was.
"In simple words the end of our world, when the walls of reality collapse as our universe will never have a heat death thanks to us" explained Sophie.
"It sounds a bit tragic" said Harry.
"Not when you live so long as us especially when you do what we did, we can only hope that no race as destructive can ever come to exist again" said Aran.
"You're not so destructive you can only create objects that allow you to do magic" said Harry feigning ignorance.
"That's not our power Harry" said Aran.
"Our power is to create objects like this" said Sophie as a box of wood with a handle on its side and a hole on its front "this little box can create everything that you say to it for example, produce diamonds" said Sophie and diamonds started pouring out of its hole "Stop" she said and the diamonds production stopped.
"That's so cool, wait you can produce literally everything even planets and suns?" asked Harry wanting to see if they would reveal the true extent of their power to him.
"Even galaxies if you wish but we don't do that as it would crush us underneath and this is but our least powerful object" answered Sophie smiling a genuine smile.
"Really, I don't believe it, that thing rocks" said Harry playing the part of the innocent boy.
"Indeed but most of the other objects are locked within our Vault" said Aran.
"Vault, like in a bank?" asked Harry.
"No our Vault is a room-like box of metal which was created to answer to only one, its maker and also to create every object of power that we can without the owner needing to work for years to create them , needing only the knowledge but even the knowledge to built a Vault requires years and our young ones start their apprenticeships by the age of fifteen and when they built their Vaults they are considered independent adult will full rights and responsibility, I think I will be teaching you, your souls shows me that you are worthy?" explained Aran.
"Thanks but I want to return to my home as soon as I can" said Harry that being only the partial truth.
"Of course but the apprenticeship takes seven years at most and the Vault can be stored within your very soul so I can travel with you and if you worry about someone stealing or damaging it, it won't happen, The Vault is indestructible even to the end of a world although ours have been deactivated from that feature as we don't want to leave anything so dangerous behind but you , you are worthy of our secrets" said Aran.
"Don't you have to consult with others before giving me such secrets?" asked Harry.
"But we already have my dear, but we communicate within a split second and due to our mental powers the conference was over within the second to your perspective although for us time has a different meaning"- xplained Sophie.
"In that case I will stay but only because you remind me of my parents" said Harry with sadness as that was perfectly true.
"What happened to them?" asked Aran
"They died when I was a few months, trying to protect me from a madmen, I talked to them through an artifact from my world but my worlds magic can't bring back the dead" explained Harry.
"Well they sound like great people I'm sorry we can't help you either as we can resurrect but only if we are in the same world as the soul and then by your description they must be having a great Afterlife, it would be a shame to take them from there, egoistical I would say" said Sophie as she hugged Harry.
"I know but that doesn't make it any better, but enough of me you two don't have any children?" asked Harry.
"We had three hundred and fifty children to be exact but the last one decided to die ten thousand years ago" answered Aran.
"If you can choose to die why wait the end of the world?"Asked Harry really baffled this he had not described in his description of this world.
"Because we want to see the end with our own eyes," said Sophie "its going to be the ultimate piece of art"
"That's a bit screwed," said Harry.
"You'll understand our point of view after your first three hundred billion years"said Aran laughing."now off to sleep, you begin your apprenticeship tomorrow and I accept no lazing around"
"Yes, sir as you says sir"said Harry grinning.
"You little rascal"said Aran.
Seven years later
Harry had just finished his Vault, a metalic cubicle of 4x4 meters, he could feel it tugging at his new core, and yes apparently it needed a core, taking power from it to create a thousand items. There had been only nine hundred initially but after he suggested n innovative use of the Production Box, one hundred new items had been created and as all items, all of them were each one more powerful than the previous. There would have been more but this people decided that they had retired from being the most powerful beings in that world and that now they were waiting the Cleansing so no point in making more.
It had resulted that Aran and Sophie were indeed his parents or better their souls and spirits. The inhabitants of unstable worlds didn't have souls or spirits since they existed within such a small time frame but since he made that world stable for the duration of his stay (for as long as it wasn't more than ten years since after that the reality itself would collapse) they were given souls of people already deceased from the nearest world and that world happened to be his since there was a meta-physical thread connecting the two worlds due to his travel.
Death thinking that Harry deserved to meet and spend time with his parents had made sure that their souls were transported there. Not just that but it had also returned the souls of his friends and family that were already dead. He especially enjoyed his time with the reincarnation (not exactly reincarnation but you get the point) of Sirius who was a lot healthier this time and way less insane. With him he was capable of going full "Marauder" mode.
His time with Lupin was also great, when Harry, Aran , Victor (Sirius), Giuliani (Lupin) and Agnes (Nymphadora) there was bound to be a great deal of laughter around the village and quite a bit of good humored yelling at the"Marauders."
Harry even got to meet Dumbledore or as he was called in this world Anthony, he was three thousand years older than Aran and had been in his days a General and Admiral. Now if you think what would Omni-potent beings need armies think again because they created massive fleets (millions sometimes billion) of super starships which were indestructible or endless hordes of elemental titans (really big dudes that were made of a respective element) to fight their opponents, mainly Gods but their fleets were used even against the super advanced civilizations who had wished to destroy them and take their knowledge and power for themselves.
He had to leave now since he had finished his apprenticeship and was recognized as an adult plus with only three years left his now massive core was starting to seriously flare due to the danger that was coming. In this seven years he had managed to create a ritual which would grant him a core with the same power of a ley line or multiple upon further refinement. He had borrowed the power of forty two ley lines from different planets as taking the power of that many ley lines in a single planet would cause a lot of magical unbalance on said planet. He also learned something new about ley lines, every planet had them inhabited or no but in an inhabited planet ley lines had less energy but regenerated faster once fully drained as in the case of his ritual while uninhabited planet had more energy but they regenerated slower.
"So you finally did it?" asked Aran.
"Indeed, you know I almost feel bad" said Harry.
"No need to, you have a home to which to return, while we are just crazy old people waiting for the end of the world" said Aran chuckling.
"Yes but at least you are funny crazy old people" said Harry chuckling
"I guess you must leave now before you have a chance to meet them" said Aran referring to the other friends he had made during his stay here.
"Why you're already tired of me" asked Harry.
"No but its better that you leave without saying goodbye since it will hurt more that way," explained Aran "we've all felt the pain of saying goodbye to our children, doing so again would be way more painful"
"I'm so touched you consider me your child" said Harry jokingly but a tear fell from his face.
"Don't get all mushy on me" said Aran trying to look stern but utterly failing "come on now"
"Goodbye, see you soon" said Harry as he whispered "gan fy Bydd fy cludo i fyd fy newis"
He was again thrown across the gap between worlds and soon enough he landed in a new one. This world was the collection of all the Anime, manga and cartoons that humanity had created snd he thought that they held power tat he may need, well they weren't all of them but those he though he might need.
April 25, 2007
Harry appeared in his bedroom in the Potter Manor, he was now wearing a full body armor (except he didn't have a helmet), the armor had a golden color with platinum colored chest plates, he had a helmet which he held in his right hand, the helmet was totally golden and had only a straight line open to allow those who wore to still see. He put the helmet down and in a moment it disappeared and so did his armor leaving him with the same clothes he was wearing two hundred years ago (according to him but for the rest of the world it had been only four years)
"Kreacher" called Harry and with a soft pop the elf appeared before him "bring me some lunch and then prepare a bath for me" said Harry with an authoritative tone.
"Yes master" said Kreacher as he disappeared with the traditional pop and reappeared five minutes later bringing with him a table filled with different kind of foods.
"Kreacher update me on what happened since I left" said Harry while eating.
"Well the only major development was that the wizard taking example on the muggle UN created a parallel structure and so did the Magical Creatures Council, your mud blood friend Hermione has become the first President and there has been a great amount of magical discoveries" concluded Kreacher.
"About time they took their head out of the gutter" commented Harry "do you know where the current headquarters of the new government are?"
"No master, it was made so in order to hide it from unwanted persons you can get there only through floo and through special cabins that transport you there" explained Kreacher.
"Well that is smart, I bet that it was Hermione's idea" said Harry.
"Yes master how did you know?" asked Kreacher.
"While there might be smart wizards they tend to be over boastful in where they place their government structures and only a muggle as brilliant as she might think of something like that" concluded Harry as he got up, during that time having already consumed half of what was on the table.
After having a bath and changing, you won't believe how dirty clothes can get in two hundred yyears even with magic to repair and clean it. He now wore a black costume with a grey shirt underneath and he now wore his Father's head of the House ring alongside with the House Black ring since there was no one to inherit the title and Sirius had adopted him even if only magically but the House Black recognized him as its true heir so no one made any fuss about it.
He called his elves and after giving some orders he left. His portal spewed him right in front of Hermione, she was currently seated behind a desk which was filled with books, scrolls and various instruments. The office was quite large but it seemed rather small due to the bookshelves, tables filled with notes, most probably Arithmancy notes, she had always expressed fascination with the process of creating spells as it was perfectly suited to her brilliant mind. Sitting in two chairs right in front of Hermione were Elliot Frozenshimmer and Reinhard Stocker, whom to their defense didn't jump out of their skin like Hermione.
"Mister Potter a pleasure to see you again" said Reinhard shaking Harry's hand.
"Harry, where the hell have you been?" asked Hermione cutting off Elliot who was about to hug Harry.
"You, know, around the world, travelling learning, the usual, what about you any kids yet?" asked Harry with a grin, seriously when you lived as long as he had you became a bit of a prankster.
"One, we named her Rose, we planed on making you her godfather but you were nowhere to be found and we chose Neville instead" said Hermione, blushing a bit but then giving Harry a stern look so much like Macgonagall's death glare, which promised a lot of pain.
"Well sorry about that but I do have other business other than being around when you need me" said Harry keeping his now massive magic from lashing out.
"Sorry is just that I would have really liked you to be Rose godparent " said Hermione.
"Well, I can always be the godparent to your second child" said harry smirking as he got a blush from Hermione "how you survive in the political world while being so shy is beyond me"
"You should see her when she wants to pass a motion or a law, she's outright scary" said Elliot as he finally got up and greeted him.
"Yeah, kinda when she is reading a new book and someone interrupts her" said Harry laughing.
"Harry James Potter, stop right now or I will have you imprisoned on contempt of authorities"-said Hermione.
"Nah, you wouldn't do that, you'd be forced to resign for imprisoning the "Chosen One"' said Harry laughing.
"Then I'll have to make do with hexing you to Monday and back" said Hermione threateningly.
"Well when you put it like that… I'll just leave then seeing that you just want to hex me" said Harry pretending to be disappointed, well nobody believed it but it was worth a try.
"May I inquire tot the reason of your visit here?" asked Renhard.
"I just came to see my friend and get some news on the new development of our world in the time that I was away" said Harry conjuring a chair and sitting down.
"Where the hell have you been that you need to be informed of the new developments?" asked Hermione.
"Exploring, just not in our universe" said Harry.
"You mean like in other dimensions?" asked Elliot.
"Exactly" answered Harry, technically not lying as he had explored dimensions too but it had been mainly unstable worlds.
"So what do you exactly want to know?" asked Hermione.
"How did you convince the whole wizarding community to unite and what's more important how in the name of Gods and Demons did you became the president?" asked Harry
"Well, after your little discovery of the improved wolfs bane potion, werewolves gained complete control over the security section, with their magical powers and the magic-resistant transformation this guys created a monopoly and not just in Europe but all over the world and with their newfound influence they pressured and by pressured I mean threatened to collapse the whole worlds economical system, the whole world to create a central government in the example of the MEF" explained Hermione.
"But why choose you, why not choose a Pureblood?" asked Harry.
"Because all magical creatures have the right of the vote and all of them owe you for giving them the right of creating their own council plus all the muggle born and other half-bloods and you have a victory with over sixty eight for cent of the votes, well that and every other country except for Europe is more open minded" finished Hermione "now what have you done in four years that kept you from visiting your friends?"
"Well, I don't want to talk about that but suffices to say I discovered some really powerful artifacts" said Harry not really wanting to reveal the whole story.
"Really, like what?" asked an exited Hermione.
"Like this" said Harry, glad that his plan worked, producing a golden helmet (the one he was wearing when he came back) " this is called the Hemet of Disaster, due to its ability to absorb ambient energy and then to release in the form of natural disaster or beams of pure destruction, literally"
"Would you let me study it?" asked Hermione.
"I would if it was compatible with wizard magic, while it can be worn by one any attempts to infuse it with any wizard magic produces, well lets say nasty side effects" said Harry chuckling "so anything interesting over here?" asked Harry gesturing toward the arithmancy notes on the different tables on the room
"We're trying to find a way for technology to work around magic but we keep getting in a dead end since electronics work fine even in the middle of a ley line but when it goes near any large enough wizard settlement or any of the magical schools they simply stop working or explode" said Hermione flustered since she had found a problem that was outside her intelligences ability to solve.
"Ha ha ha, the solution to that particular problem is quite easy" said Harry laughing uncontrollably.
"And might that be genius?"asked Hermione.
"Simply the problem is wizard magic, our cores always, even when we aren't actively using magic, channelize a small amount of magic which then is released in the outside world but since we do not give it any purpose it creates an area where reality is very mellow" explained Harry
"But all magic can bend reality why is wizard magic the problem?" asked Elliot very interested.
"Simple, our cores refine the magic they channelize to be more suited to bend reality but natural magic just is there, it has no purpose so it doesn't change reality… much. The solution to your problem is to find a way to turn the energy released by wizards cores to energy instead of mellowing reality" answered Harry.
"But won't that mean it would also absorb wards?" asked Hermione.
"No since you must calibrate it to absorb the high density energy field created by such a mellowing of reality rather than the magic itself, since it is that field that causes the electrons to change direction and where the field its at its most powerful it simply overcharges the electronics" explained Harry.
"That's brilliant, why haven't I thought of that" said Hermione as she hurried to her notes.
"Because you were focusing so much on the magic energy than it side effects" said Harry laughing at his friend's reaction.
"I don't get something, why only wizard magic has that effect?" asked Elliot.
"Well magical creatures body is created to work with magic since it follows magical laws and not natural laws and so it contains that magic and uses it to further strengthen you but we wizards are human and our bodies respect natural laws so we can't keep magic in our bodies unless it has a function like healing or even harming and so we expel it" explained Harry "now I have to leave but before I do, Neville's parents are still alive and in St. Mungo aren't they?"
"Yes why do you ask?" answered Hermione from her pile of notes.
"I have gotten better at mind magic's and I believe I can help now, it isn't like their condition can get any worse" said Harry " thank you for the conversation but now I must leave, also inform Neville to be in St. Mungo in ten minutes to meet his parents, porth o Hermes"
With that Harry stepped into the Time-space distortion and found himself just outside the Longbottoms room in St. Mungo. When he entered, he saw Alice and Frnk Longbottom laying there, their eyes fixed into nothingness, having lost their connection to reality. He pitied them, nobody deserves this except those with the blackest souls. In his travels he had seen a lot of pin but this hurt, the others he didn't know, but these people had been his parents best friends and Lily had threatened to reincarnate to kill and torture him if he didn't help the.
He placed his hands above their foreheads before anyone could stop him, security hadn't improved yet, and incanted "Pŵer y meddwl dynol, fi alw dy i fy helpu i leddfu eu o'u baich ac adfer cydbwysedd i hyn meddyliau torri." Harry's mind was assaulted by immense pain, grief, rage and a whole lot of other emotions who were on the verge of overcoming his own mind, until he retreated into his mind and summoned one of the many abilities acquired in his travels, suggested by "Moody" after seeing what kind of foes would Eragon face especially their mental powers. This ability was based upon cheats used by muggles in their videogames, this would allow him to face this intrusion in his mind like an enemy in a videogame and then turn their health points into zero, he could do the same with mental protections but that is another matter altogether.
He quickly overcame the emotions using this ability and opened his eyes to see the surprised faces of Frank and Alice Longbottom staring at him and at their surroundings.
"James, B but how didn't you die when Voldemort attacked your house?" asked Frank Longbottom.
"He did but I'm not my father, Harry James Potter, at your service" said Harry making a mock bow.
"Well he inherited the "Marauder" behavior from his father" said Alice " so how long have we been, well crazy, for?"
"For about twenty five years" said Harry
"Well that's a long time" said Frank "when are we going to meet our son?"
"He should be here any moment now" said Harry "but I must leave now, tell Neville I will be hosting a party at Potter Manor this weekend and you're all invited, porth o Hermes"
Harry stepped into the Time-space distortion and transported himself directly into Potter Manor, ready to start phase two of his plan, the resurrection of House Potter.
August 5, 2009
Two years had passed since his return and Harry had been successful in his quest to revive House Potter albeit not in the way you think. Six months after his return he had found an orphan boy, merely sixteen, by the name of August Fortson. He reminded Harry of himself so he decided to adopt him and he had grown fond of him and in the next three months he had found two others, a girl named Alice (fifteen) and a boy named Timothy (fifteen), the latter a muggle. A year ago the three children had accepted to undergo a ritual which would essentially make them his children but that would happen only if they truly accepted him as their father.
The ritual worked perfectly and they all gained his emerald green eyes and unruly hairs. He had come to love them but he would have to leave them, his duty called him and no matter how much it hurt he would have to leave them. He would return to watch over them, to see his grandsons, for they were his, he could feel the connection that one can only have with his blood children. That was the power of the ritual and that's why it required for one to be willing to become a father or mother, depending on the gender of the caster, it made Harry their father and even closer than a father by birth as they choose him, they chose to have his blood. His children had gained great magical power from him even Timothy, their cores being larger than his core before he left this world, as it would have been if they were his blood children.
He had also become the Godfather of Hugo, the child of Hermione and Ron. He was one more reason to return to this world. The little boy had great potential much like his sister. The yielded the power of Ron and the intelligence of Hermione, they would become famous and powerful one day and he would often check on them. It turned out being a Godfather was more than just an honor it was magically binding although unlike an oath it didn't strip you of your powers but it made you feel when your godchildren were in danger and he would come and rain destruction upon everyone who would dare to harm his friends and family.
He now sat in a comfy poltroon in the middle of the main hall of the Ancestral Manor of the House Potter, at his side the fire was blazing although it didn't release any heat but was there just for show. The walls decorated with the pictures of the previous Heads of House Potter which were now waiting for the announcement of the new head of the House. Before him stood his three children, August, now as tall as him with raven black hair, the only thing he kept from his previous appearance as his hairs changed from curly to straight albeit a bit unruly. Out of the three he was the most disciplined one although he could be a great prankster even surpassing him and the Weasly, he was brilliant whether it was in the use or creation of spells.
Next to him stood Alice, with a smile upon her face, her eyes unlike those of her siblings had speckles of brown in them. She was two-three centimeters shorter than August, with honey colored hair, her hair being less unruly than those of her brothers but still unruly. She was simply stunning to look at, a great change from what she was like when he found her in the ruins of a wizarding village. She had a fierce temper, Alice and Frank comparing her temper to that of Harry's mother. Alice was great at using magic but she excelled in potion making and transfiguration although that didn't mean she was any pushover in the other areas of magic, it was just that she excelled in those areas.
The last of them was Timothy, his had the same hair and eyes as Harry's but his nose was a bit sharper and he had a Mediterranean skin tone. He had found him in a village in Albania, that country's people, both muggle and wizard, had suffered the most from the war as their country as a platform to attack the entire Europe. Timothy was shunned from the people of his village as his mother wasn't married when she gave birth to him and when she died they treated him like he was less than dirt. When Harry found him he had wanted to destroy the entire village but the kid had asked him not to, he had to kind of a heart, so he took him in.
While not the most powerful among his siblings he was the best balanced of the three and had a great interest in runes with which he had created two new arrays which were improvement of earlier versions. Timothy's intelligence wasn't book centered but rather practical as he learned from mistakes but was also able to learn from books. His dueling skills were legendary as he was a regional champion and the best of Harry's children when it came to dueling, his prowess even at his tender age being at the same level as that of Tom (Voldemort), which while less skilled than Dumbledore and Harry was a prodigy. That might have something to do wit his height, being the shortest of the three, although in his defense he was still to go through a growth spurt, he was teased all the time so he trained hard and became so good he was regarded as the greatest wizard of the century after Harry of course.
Harry had called them to say his goodbyes before returning to Aleagasia.
"August, Alice, Timothy I have summoned you here to say my goodbye t you because now I must leave" said Harry with great sadness.
"We understand father, I hope you will still came back to visit us" said August, keeping a straight face although Harry could feel sadness came from him.
"Of course I will, when you have your own children, then I shall return to celebrate with you," said Harry earning blushes from his children "and also to give a few warnings"
"Really, it's not enough having this two idiots, I now have to deal with you too" said Alice with a groan.
"Oh come on we won't do anything… permanent" said Timothy with a grin.
"I totally agree" said August wit a grin of his own.
"You think she will be the only one, you forget I know stories of you two.." said Harry trailing off purposely while enjoying the look of horror that crossed Augusts and Timothy's face.
"You wouldn't do it" said August.
"If you know even a bit you know I keep true to a threat" said Harry smiling.
"Bantering aside we shall miss you terribly" said Alice breaking the semi-happy mood.
"And I you" said Harry " before I leave, I must say a few things to you"
"Yeah we know, watch over Hugo and Rose, stay neutral and watch over the peace of the magical species, you have already told us that" said Timothy in a bored tone.
"What I haven't told you is that I shall leave behind three items" said Harry "the first is the Merlin Grimoire…"
"You're leaving us that, what if it corrupts us" said August, voicing his greatest fear.
"It won't I trust you to not, also its secrets must not became know t people outside of this household, the wizards must advance through their own efforts or they won't value what they have" explained Harry "second is a portrait of me so that you can communicate with me when you miss me"
"Like that will ever happen" said Alice in a playful tone "
She's right, who will miss you anyway" said Timothy in the same tone as his sister.
"Is that so rascals, maybe I shouldn't leave you this" said Harry.
"No" was the immediate answer of the three of them.
"I thought so, now the final item is a sword that I found during my travels" said Harry gaining curious looks from his children "I will leave in case of dire emergencies, it will give the one whom it judges worthy power equaling that of a minor god, remember its only for emergencies"
"So you won't be returning anytime soon?" asked Alice.
"Relatively speaking, no" answered Harry." But that would apply to me, for you, I will be there when you need me"
"So this is goodbye?" rhetorically asked August.
"Yes" answered Harry.
The three of them hugged him, well they almost suffocated him but that's not the point. Harry struggled to get out of the bone crushing hug but after a while he resigned to just bear it. After ten minutes they let him go, tears running down their cheeks.
"Don't get all mushy on me now" said Harry" this is just a farewell not a goodbye"
"Well if you don't come back, I swear I will come and drag your ass across worlds" said Timothy.
"Of course you will, Farewell" said Harry as he silently cast the spell that would take him back to Aleagasia.
