Chapter 8 -Who escaped the asylum?
"Well dear you won the bet which expensive restaurants do you wish to dine at tonight?"
While this chit, chat was going on Snape is telling Dumdum, "The Dark Lord used a ritual to obtain his body. Those present stated that Pettigrew cut off part of his arm and they killed someone for his blood. Damn, my mark starting to burn I must head off to Voldemort."
Hours later Snape returns with more information, "Volde was chewed up by a vicious Black Leopard. He is going to need my attention for a few days, so you will have to cancel my classes."
/Scene Break/
If the world could get any more insane Dumdum has decided that Harry must know the Prophesy. Therefore, he calls in Harry only to get a crowd, which he tries to dismiss.
"This is highly important, this information can not leave this room or our entire world will be destroyed"
"Nice doom and gloom there old man got any facts or information we can use besides your word?" I asked.
"I cannot…"
"No you will not, if you send everyone away I will release it to the Dailey Profit, so tell or just shut up." I demanded.
Dumbledore released the prophesy and Fleur and I laughed, "What a load of Dragon Dung and what is this mystic power that I have that Moldeshorts does not know I have."
Dumdum is on about Harry being a Horicux and how Harry is going to love Voldemort to death.
Fleur says, "That's not going to happen as Harry is private stock and in my cellar". I laugh but no one else is laughing. When we leave, no one is overly happy.
/Scene Break/
Slytherin was never a house of the smart. If they could keep their mouths shut, they may accomplish something. They love to harass the other houses, well that you could live with but Draco decided or was told to be a nasty ass and kidnap Fleur.
I do not want to ever piss off my wife to the existent that Draco did, he was on to what he would do to the Veela slut before he turned her over to the Dark lord. Now I know this as I was standing there, Draco was there with about fifteen other students that we assumed were Slytherin. It was like I wasn't there but he did add in that I was going to die after she was…" She turns into a half human bird with wings and what she doesn't claw and slash, she burns with fire she throw from her hands. Memo don't piss her off, ever! I did not have a chance to do much except watch.
/Scene Break/
Dumdum puts Ron and Hermione on our tail as well as Lupin. Madeye had disappeared as if he had never been here. A new DADA instructor Sirius Black started in his place. Dumdum and his manipulations, I find out that Lupin and Black were friends of my dead family so now we are all one big happy family.
Fleur had already tested out and went to work at Gringotts. 'Floeing' in at night for a back rub and as much sex as I could come up with, oh how I love that girl!
That was it, I took my NEWTs and we going to leave Hogwarts, Dumdum and the entire clown club. We were indeed packing when we heard the news.
Big bad Volde attacks Diagon alley but as he appears a new Hogwarts student with his first wand, aims at his older sister a spell. He says a spell he saw in a school book, 'finite incatatum' and misses and hits Volde in the forehead as Voldeshorts port-keyed in to kill and destroy. For some reason he falls into gory pieces, a bone, a hand and some blood.
The cleaning crew comes in and incinerates everything and 'Scourgifys' the area.
This was the brunt of a lot of jokes and disbelief, but we were still leaving. We had just opened the portrait to our quarters when Dumbledore fired an "Avada Kadava" at our backs.
Harry the Horicrux was gone, for "The Greater Good" was Dumdum's rational.
/Scene Break/
I appeared in a room with myself standing accross from me, but my brain tells me I am someone else called Harry Potter. I am Harry Potter who was killed by Dumbledore, but another memory tries to overrule my mind;
I have had it; even I a child can see that this is outlandish. Who has a child live in a boot cupboard? Who beats a child? Who works a child while another child in the house plays video games? Enough is enough I am gone! I leave with nowhere to go and am happy, death is better that my life. While I hope to survive I doubt it, no money no nothing, but I go. I walk and walk and then walk some more, there is nothing, nowhere to go no help. No one cares, it is I alone. I see a nice park with a small grove of tree and I step into the cool grove and sit under a nice tree. I am tired and hungry; I forget the last time I ate but it was days ago. It makes no difference so I sleep in the nice quiet place under a nice tree. Harry Potter is comfortable for the first time in a long time the sleep extends until I am dead.
"No that is not what happened!" I scream.
Fleur appears but she is a kid and I realize I am also about nine years old as is my other self. My twin starts screaming and suddenly so does Fleur, both are clutching their heads, I am not far behind, this is insanity. Dumbledore killed me, not starving to death in a forest.
A woman dressed in a toga enters the room and everyone falls to the floor except her and me.
"Child why have you come here?" the Lady asks.
I can not think and want to screem who I am but all that come out; "Me, I have no idea, I don't count, no one wants me, so I guess I have no answer".
"What is your name child?"
"Freak, Boy, the school calls me Harry but I'm not allowed to use that name".
"ALETHEIA, I call you for help".
"Yes Hecate you have need of the truth?"
"You see before you a child that only knows he is no one, can you help?"
"Hecate you have before you Harry James Potter the child of Prophecy, hope and death, may Zeus protect us he is not due here for two hundred years, we have a problem. You are the goddess of witchcraft you have here the wizard of prophesy. We do have a problem all three have multiple memories of their past".
"Zeus we call on you, πατὴρ ἀνδρῶν τε θεῶν τε, patḕr andrōn te theōn te" (no idea but it looks good).
There was a thunderclap and "Why have you called sisters of Truth and Witchcraft?
"The children are not supposed to be here and we have no idea why".
"Child who are you?" and the thunder rolled.
"I am called Freak, Boy and Harry but I'm not allowed to use that name, I am Orion!"
"I call Theia to my side," Zeus roared.
"I hear and obey Zeus your needs?"
"Upon the boy, who is he and why is he here?"
"The total of all this is beyond understanding. All three have died at the same time, but all from different dimensions / continuums. She is bonded to this Harry Potter the other is Harry Potter but is more Orion Potter a dead brother."
"Zeus the continuum has been violated by the boy; with all his memories he has no will to live and no one cares that he does so except the female."
"The entire sight around him is manipulation, greed and danger. Any path he might have taken would bring his death and there are over twenty different paths that I see".
"So do we just let them continue into Asgard or Valhalla?"
"No I see great turmoil reaching to here and beyond, this is the child of Prophesy and his bond mate. We may help but he must go back or the mortals will end up with Hades that will increase Poseidon's power to rival your own. If he does not go back we will loose all our powers and Hades will let loose all the hellions. Harry Potter must go back along with his bond mate and his dead brother Orion.
"If he goes back may we increase his powers beyond wizard normality?"
"Yes that is well within what I see, he could be quite the power and fulfill all the prophesy's, but he will, OH my, all paths make him quite delectable and powerful. I would like to enjoy what he will become".
"While all must go back, but where?" Harry and Fleur are bonded so they must return together. Ah, Just before he meet Ragnok, Fleur family's memories are easily changed. Orion will be a problem we will have to modify memories at that time and make it as if he had lived and not died at birth.
"Will this make things right, cure the problems and make life here normal again. It will change the time lines there, we will be fine. However! Fleur will meet Harry sooner or latter and all memories will come flooding back to them.
But, yes, Zeus all will be fine for us, do you wish to give your gift before they go back?"
"Yes Zeus your gifts will be quite enhancing" giggle, giggle.
"Then I bestow upon Harry Potter the element of lightning, the eagle, and the power to overcome". Zeus just boo-booed.
/Scene Break/
I awoke and felt quite well, in fact I felt better than I could remember, so I started to walk again when it suddenly felt that it would be better to fly. So much better than walking and I was flying like an eagle. Oh the fun, the thrill so where do I go. I see this person flying in the clouds on a broom, what fun, so I followed him. I of course am sleeping and this is a fantastic dream, I never awoke I just dreamed that I did.
The wind currents were fantastic for gliding in my eagle form and gave me time to think. If that dream I had was not a dream and those people were who they appeared to be was I in trouble or was I fortunate. Living for two hundred years was nice if I continued to live like I am now, but prophecies and all those paths she was talking about scared me. Then there was the old man, was I just to throw my eagle claw out at that tree and…" the lightning bolt destroyed the tree and almost made me fall from the sky. After I landed and got my body from shaking, I tried that again but I thought small and aimed at a branch. A small lightning bolt left my hand and exploded the branch into ash. I now had training to do to control my new powers.
I had to race to catch up to the strange man on a broom who entered a funny place full of odd people but I am only visiting as this cannot be real, what an odd place. For some reason I enter a large white marble building, the guards that open the door are not human but they are bowing to me so I bow back. This is a thing only found in fairy tails, these people are as tall as I am and I am only nine years old.
The dream is suddenly not a dream as someone yells "Orion Potter" and the whole room tries to grab me, touch me and I am now scared.
The strange people with swords and axes grab me and I am dragged to a room that is decorated in heads, skulls, shields, axes and bones. A very old person enters in armor that makes me think he is a warrior, when he speaks my dream suddenly becomes reality.
"Who are you young wizard? From the panic out side you must be very important".
"I am called Freak, Boy, and some times Harry, I had a dream where I was called Harry Potter".
"In deed your scar indicates that you are indeed a Potter but if you don't mind we would like to test you to see who you really are young wizard".
"Does it hurt; I have had enough of the pain and hurt".
"Not at all just a prick of a pin and a drop of blood and we will know all about you".
They did and the parchment started this old person into screaming in a language I did not know.
"Please forgive me Lord I am Ragnok, Chief of Gringotts bank and advisor to the king".
"That sounds like you are a very important person Sir". I was not sure what to call him.
"For you, just call me Ragnok, I always wanted to meet someone who had more titles that Dumbledore so I am impressed".
"Sorry Sir, I have no idea what you are talking about, I'm just trying to escape the beatings and boot cupboard". I stated.
The short of things was that Ragnok wanted me to tell him of my life, where I went, what I did, who I knew, just my entire life. I did and he stated yelling again.
"Harry I would like to give you training of a sort, we want you to know who you are, what you can expect in the wizard world and how you fit in. We will provide training on how to act as a wizard, a lord and a lord in the Wizengemot. Would you like us to provide that at cost".
Ragnok then explained that I could have anything if I paid the Goblins for it and it did not violate the treaty between the wizards and Goblins. Hell after they explained how much was in my trust vault for school I was happy to learn everything at cost. The problem was I could not touch it untill I was eleven, but Ragnok said they would deal with this on the cuff.
I am nine and not a world traveler not a very smart person but the more I learned the more I was ready to start killing people. All my money and properties including my parents will was frozen all because of one Albus Dumbledore who was dipping into my trust vault money. I had an older brother named Orion who was tagged with a moniker "The Boy Who Lived".
/Scene break/
Weeks later:
"Ragnok I am confused. From my learning Orion gets the title of Lord Potter and all the money vaults so why do you say Dumbledore froze my money?"
"Dumbledore was to smart for himself, by freezing your parents will we do not know what was left to whom. But, yes Orion is older and would normally get the Potter title, properties and money. You would probably get a stipend each month if every thing went as it usually does. The first thing we Goblins did was check and found that you were, by conquest, the new Lord Slytherin this made you an adult, its called end of line emancipation."
Still confused, "what does all this mean or should I ask what can I get?" I asked while shaking my head.
The smile on Ragnok's face is terrifying, "You have processed into your training far enough to ask the question and I will now confuse you even more. The pure bloods make laws to help themselves and they forget them. Another makes another law to make some money or gain a title and they forget the law is still in existence. We have grabbed a couple of such laws and I will condense them for you because if that look on you face is any indicator…" he broke out laughing again.
"And the short of it is?" I asked.
"To claim a title you must be an adult. While Orion would normally claim all these titles as he comes of age before you. What is funny is titles are claimed on a first come first served basis. If Orion did not claim the title when he became an adult, you could the minute you became an adult.
"So your saying that I can claim all these titles because I am an adult and I got here first?"
"Yes but I see you didn't catch what is so hilarious."
"Er" was my comeback as I was confused.
"Dumbledore has the wrong Potter, to claim the title of Lord Slytherin you have to have done in Voldemort and be the boy who lived" and Ragnok broke out in laughter.
After Ragnok quit having a breakdown he asked, "So how does it feel to be TBWL, Lord Harry James Potter-Mordred-Slytherin-Gryffindore?
Ragnok suddenly got very serious, "Harry I would advise you to never let out that you are Mordred or Slytherin they are both considered Dark and murderous."
/Scene Break/
They found a place for me to stay. I also got lord rings, and they set up a 'floe' access. During the day, I trained at Gringotts and in the evenings, I stayed in Slytherin's manor. That was after an army of elves restored the place. Now let me tell you that guy Slytherin was no piker, yes it was a bit barbaric but the elves had upgraded the place to modern wizard standards. I mean I now had a toilet, shower and bathtub. I never got to see TV or play on computers before so I was missing nothing when in Slytherin Manor. The elves at the manor fed me like a king. My idea of like a king was a nice meal and not a crust of bread and a glass of water. The Goblins made the place nasty to intruders, Voldemort and Dumbledore working together would have troubles, the wards were top class.
The Goblins did not teach me secret spells or curses or how to eliminate my opponents by blinking. What they taught was what was the rules of Hogwarts, the school I would attend. What was expected of me there and what they were to provide. Then there was the Wizengemot and its rules, traditions and where I fit in. If I thought this would be easy I was wrong I had just started on the hard work. A mental patient wrote some of these laws and they tried to use every word in the dictionary to compose them. There was training on the different types of events; social, informal events and how to dress for each. There was how to socially fit in or snub someone without a fight. This was work of the worst type. The only worst thing was shopping for all the clothes that went along with all this crap. I should have not complained as I was reminded exactly what I had left behind.
Flashback:
Our outing was for clothes, well realy to take my mesurments for clothes. It was not a big production, I had two Goblins to escort me where we needed to go and in most cases what to buy. They were not warriors in a true sence but qualified in what they do. Exactly what happened I don't know but Ragnok filled me in when I returned.
We just left a robe shop when I was hit with a spell and I was out cold. When I awoke I was in my boot cupboard sore but nothing was broken. Well this was not going to happen. My training with lightning showed not just lightning bolts. I could refine an output of voltage from my finger to my whole body. Lightning is a form of burning or fire and I just reached out my finger and a beam, like a cutting tourch, cut the cupboard door and its lock, the door swung open.
Oh the joy, Vernon was home and stormed out of the kitchen bellowing his normal trash. He however got a nasty shock when he grabbed me, about 220volts worth. This sent him back-pedling into the wall. Oh and this is my lucky day, Dudley came wadling out of his room but stopped at the top of the stairs. He got the shock of his life. Since I was on a roll I turned and distroyed the cupboard, never again. I comly walked out the frount door turned into my eagle form and flew to Gringotts. When I arrived I saw two poles with the heads of a couple of men. Ragnok stated that they had killed one of my escorts and they had paid the price. Also my training would be upgraded, he did not exspand on that comment.
End Flashback:
They did provide a wizard trainer and a goblin trainer. The wizard taught me hand-to-hand combat, how to hold my fork while tucking in my napkin. The Goblin showed me how to handle and throw knives while tucking in my napkin. Now I was a bit curious and picked up a couple of years of Hogwarts approved books. I was not impressed. It appeared that they were teaching retarded children or they were just teaching enough that they did not kill themselves with magic. That got me into more advanced books, the goblins seemed happy with that choice.
My wand, now that was something the Goblins enjoyed making as they were by treaty unable to use wand magic. Nothing in the treaty that said they could not make a wand. The Goblin was ancient and may have been around to pick up the wand pieces himself, the wood was ironwood or Járnviðr or maybe that was the forest. He said he had a Caucasian Eagle feather and a Thunderbird feather wrapped with a Raiju hair. He secured a diamond as a focus stone with tungsten wire, which wound around the wand. The wire stood out on the black wand.
