I forgot in the first chapter: I do NOT own Harry Potter or its respective characters.
Some background information that should have been in the first chapter: Cedric didn't die in this story. Barty Crouch Jr. was never discovered to have been Moody. This will be explained in more detail later in the story.
non omnis moriar- Not all of me shall die
dulce bellum inexpertis- War is sweet to those who have never fought
"Speech"
*Latin*
Thoughts
Letter/ Writing
Harry stared at the letter in awe. A new name, a new life, that would be wonderful. I won't have to be the Boy-Who-Lived anymore he thought happily. Without even thinking of the consequences Harry spoke the spell quickly and eagerly "This is going to be great, *dulce bellum inexpertis*!" There was then a soft glow in the center of the room. Someone, something stood in the midst of the glow… a man? No not a man, but not a woman either. Not human, but not quite animal. The thing was human in stature, it was tall, but it had rich dark blue fur covering its body. Its ears could have belonged to a cat. It had a forked tail with a triangle at each tip, but it had icy blue human eyes.
"You must be Mr. Potter." Said the creature, "I am Kern. The first thing I am to do is give you the new name that Sacria has chosen for you. He gave you a first and last name, which is rare. It is Yasuo Ryu, which means peaceful one dragon. Now, the next thing we must do is unlock your true magic, when we do this your appearance may very well change."
Harry, newly christened Yasuo Ryu, was beginning to get overwhelmed, "What? Why?"
Kern sighed, "To attend Sacria, some are required to unlock their true potential. This hasn't been done in a very long, long time, because these days most people would do wrong with the knowledge that is given to them by this ritual. It requires a bit of blood and a stone given by Sacria himself. He has deemed you worthy, you should be grateful."
"I am," Yasuo said.
"Alright then, come here," Kern held out a hand, "the room is already prepared, I will take you there." Yasuo hesitated, if I do this then there's no turning back. He thought of his friends, his godfather, Dumbledore, and all those innocent people who were counting on him to save them even if they didn't know it. Kern looked at him sympathetically, "I can see that this is a hard choice for you. I will wait here with you until you come to your decision." Yasuo sighed as he dropped onto the bed.
"This shouldn't be so hard!" Yasuo said angrily, "I want this so bad. But Ron and Hermione are the only family I have."
"If they were really your friends they'd understand. They'd believe you over Albus Dumbledore," Kern spat Yasuo's elderly headmaster's name with disgust.
"You don't like Professor Dumbledore? Why? I thought everyone liked him, well, everyone who isn't a Voldemort supporter that is."
"Sacria isn't fond of the old man, with good reason." Kern didn't seem to want to say anymore, Yasuo wasn't going to push him. But Kern's words ran through his mind. Ron hadn't stuck with him during the Trywizard Tournament. Hermione had begun to get iffy as well. Why did they believe Dumbledore over him? Would four years of friendship mean anything to them if he did go to Sacria? Did he really want friends like that? Yasuo was so confused. It was well into the night and early morning when he finally came to a conclusion.
"I want to do this." Yasuo said knowing that those five words would seal his fate.
Kern smiled, "Then let us go."
Harry walked to where Kern stood in the center of the bedroom. When Kern held out his/her arm this time, Yasuo grabbed hold of it without any more hesitation. But just as they were disapparating from the room, his door opened and standing there was… no. Yasuo tried to get a better look to be sure, but it was too late. They landed in a small room. Every inch of it was covered in strange symbols grouped together. Yasuo found two places that he could read the writing; it read *non omnis moriar.* Yasuo wasn't sure what that meant but he didn't have time to ask as he was ushered into the middle of the room by Kern. Yasuo stayed silent as Kern began to speak. "*Audire me magna spiritus. Permitte mihi hoc tribuat, ut puerum primatum. Ius sibi per eundem iniurias magno simul vas et occultis. Placere auxilium ad dirige hoc puerum per dura tempora. Auxilium bono frui tenebris cinereo semper non solum nigrum albo. Patitur suum anima ad luceat per. Lux miscere cum tenebris capti intra. Sacria semper tueri suam. Donec suscipit id iuvaret rem recte pueri reliquum tempus. Opprimamus eo praeiudicia incisae. Haec nova lux mundi videt puerum. Patitur eum esse liberum. Accipe lapidem oblationem, a Sacria se. Audire me magna spiritus, praestare hoc nunc.*" As the last sentence was spoken Kern came closer to Yasuo. Kern made a small cut on Yasuo's right palm, letting a drop of his blood descend onto a smooth purple stone.
The reaction was immediate. The stone hovered off of Kern's hand and began to glow and break apart. The powdery bits circled Yasuo, shining like little purple suns. He could feel the magic pulsing in the air, surrounding him, practically caressing his own magical aura. When the stone-powder finally ceased circling him, it settled on his skin and sank in. Yasuo's core overloaded, causing him to pass out.
(I used google translate) The long Latin means this: Hear me great spirits. Allow me to grant this young child his birthright. Allow me to right the wrongs committed on him by combining the vessel and the great power hidden within. Please help to guide this young child through the hard times. Help him to enjoy the good and always see the shades of grey, not only the black and white. Allow his true soul to shine through. Let the light combine with the darkness trapped within. Sacria shall always protect his own. Please help him in his task to raise this young child right for the rest of his time. Let us destroy the prejudices engraved in him. Let this young child see the world in a new light. Allow him to be free. Accept this stone as offering, given by Sacria himself. Hear me great spirits, perform this now.
