The prisoner

Chapter four: Returns and confessions

Harry appeared on the edge of a town, still in his ghost rider form. "Need a ride." He murmured, he then noticed a bunch of punks with motorbikes mugging three girls. "Give us your money, keys and valuables and maybe we'll let you live." They mocked, Harry let out a demonic roar as he ran at them.

"What the FUCK!" Screamed one of the punks who pulled out a knife and foolishly tried to stab Harry, who swivelled out of the way and punched the kid in the ribs, the kid lunged again only this time he and Harry weren't as lucky, Harry grunted as the knife slid into his shoulder, and the boy wasn't because Harry picked up by the scruff of his jacket and visibly slammed him into the window of the nearby nightclub the girls were visiting. Using his penance stare at burning the soul out of the boy, the others had scarpered.

"I'm not going to hurt you." He growled at the girls who quickly gave him money which nodded in thanks to, saw a motorbike that belonged to one of the boys. "Where am I?" He asked, "In Glasgow what's it to you?" Harry nodded and got on the bike which suddenly changed into a stygian silver with hellfire wheels and a skull near the handle bars (ghost rider's bike) and took off down the streets sending cars into shops and causing the mail boxes and street lamps to twist and melt.

Harry gunned the bike right out of Glasgow, then extending his senses looking for mass saturation of magic, and after locating one he sped off heading towards Loch Lomond, by now it was getting close to midnight when his power was strongest, reaching into the shadows Harry sped up his form flickering from visible to invisible as he roared past Lomond and banked sharply almost pitching himself off his bike.

Harry then saw the little quaint town of Hogsmeade, shifting into his human form he rode into the town with his face covered and made his way onto Hogwarts grounds via shadow walking. Suddenly the alarms were tripped and Albus Dumbledore followed by the teachers ran out to face the intruder, "You shall not pass." Commanded Dumbledore in a way that made Harry understand exactly why Voldemort feared him. Harry slowly lowered his hoody "Hey Professors, I just wanted to get my possessions and leave."

Dumbledore stared at the young man in front of him, Harry had always been pale but he now looked like a ghost, he was tall and slender he was basically a carbon copy of Tom Riddle when he was younger except Harry had a haunted look in his eyes. "Of course you can. However we may have a new minister." Harry grinned and walked into Hogwarts. "As I trust you Professor I need you to look after some things." Dumbledore nodded and was surprised when Harry pulled two swords, a shotgun and a length of chain off his back "Gryffindor Tower. Someone is dying to meet you, password is Caput Draconis."

Harry walked along the corridors of Hogwarts, he was used to being under his invisibility cloak exploring this castle, but now without it he felt vulnerable more so than normal, so as a result he stuck to the shadows almost vanishing in them, never before was he so greatful for his power over shadows he ghosted past the prefects, pausing only to tip a suit of armour on Ron and Hermione (rather Hermione more than anyone.) He eventually made it to the portrait hole, pulling up his hood he entered the room.

Harry entered the common room and lowered his hood, the result was instantaneous, Katie burst into tears and literally flung herself into his arms where he pulled her in and held her close. "I told you, I'd come back to you." He whispered tears in his eyes. Katie ran her hands down his chest "You've lost weight and are far too skinny." Harry smirked coldly "Blame the fucking minister." Gradually the Gryffindor welcomed Harry back into the fold with open arms. "People, I'm only here tonight and I'll be gone in the morning." The students nodded "But you will sit with us at breakfast won't you?" Asked a small first year girl. Harry spun and dropped down to face her "Little one, one thing you need to know about me. I always aim to shock. So yes for the shock factor I will."

Meanwhile in Courtroom one, Minister Fudge had been forced into the chair and veritiserum had been poured onto his tongue despite his violent protests that he had done nothing wrong. Madame Bones was pissed off, not only had there been a shamble of justice not all the evidence had been collected and the evidence that had been was destroyed.

"Name?" "Cornelius Oswald Fudge."
"Age?" "53."
"Occupation?" "Minister of Magic."
"Did you know Harry Potter was innocent." "Yes." This simple answer rocked the Wizengamot to the core, their minister knew someone was innocent and yet they chucked him in Azkaban. Unperturbed Madame Bones carried on.

"Why did you destroy the evidence?" "I was required to. I didn't want anyone to know until my Lord had taken over." This perked the interest of the Wizengamot.
"Are you a Death Eater?" "Yes and proud to be one."
Madame Bones sucked in a breath and after quickly conferring with the Wizengamot "We the Wizengamot deem you guilty and sentence you to death. In the water prison." With that the gravel came down and the Aurors dragged him away.

The last everyone saw of Fudge was that he was in a Perspex box, blindfolded with magical suppressor cuffs on his wrists sinking into the Atlantic Ocean. Meanwhile over a thousand miles away in a nice comfy cabin that resembled under the sea a boy awoke sharply.

At first glance this boy looked exactly like Harry Potter by the similar build and hair. However his tanned complexion separated him entirely. Another thing that Harry and this boy had similar were the same emerald eyes. This boy's name was Percy Jackson. (Percy will play a bigger role later on) "Strange vision. Need to tell Chiron." Percy murmured before falling asleep again.

Harry woke up in the common room with Katie curled up next to him. 'What a night.' Harry thought killed Olympus knows how many death eaters, aurors and guilty people, flattened Azkaban and I have other siblings.' Katie groaned and found herself looking at the well muscled chest of her boyfriend. "Harry you okay?" She asked after kissing him on the lips. That was Katie always thinking others before herself and helping when she could despite being dyslexic.

Harry didn't respond straight away "Not really. Just found out that there's more to me than meets the eye, after I'm done with Riddle, someone needs me to sort some shit out in America." He gave a cold smirk at this leaving Katie confused. "Riddle do you mean Voldemort?" Harry stared at the brunette chaser. "Yeah...How?" Katie grinned "Daddy's an American auror, mummy is a healer. Told me to not to fear his name." Harry grinned a heartfelt smile he finally had someone to confide in.

"Katie.." He began wrapping his arms around her and rolling them both to their feet "I need you to keep a secret for me." Katie stared at him "What do you mean?" Harry thought "What would you say if I told you Greek Mythology was real?" Katie grinned and laughed a laugh that made Harry grin "I'd say you would have to prove it." Harry smirked "I can show you my swords I got from my godly parents." Katie stared at him "You're a god?" Harry shook his head "Demi. Technically I shouldn't exist but that's a story for later. I'll show you my powers and please whatever you do DON'T say any sort of mythology beings around me because they would love to nom nom my face."

Soon enough the rest of the house woke up for breakfast and everyone could barely keep their faces straight. Harry walked alongside Katie but unfortunately they passed into the shadows and when Katie turned around Harry had been replaced by a skeleton. Harry moved out of the shadows and spun Katie to him, "One of my other powers. I see evil and in that form I'm invulnerable to most things. I can control it but it's difficult. However grab my hand and I'll shadow travel us to the great hall." Sensing an adventure Katie gripped Harry's hand they ran into the shadows and emerged outside the great hall. Katie was panting from the exhilaration, Harry looked like he wanted to drop dead "First time took a person."

"One of my parents on the Olympian side is Hades and the other is Poseidon. Apparently I'm double the strength of my two brothers Perseus and Nico but I have extreme almost fatal loyalty and an ability to hold a grudge. The pair entered and more screams erupted, but these were ones of celebrations rather than fear. Harry helped himself to bacon, eggs, sausages, muffins, beans and baps. That was when he saw the paper.

"DEATH EATERS FREE AND DEAD! AZKABAN DESTROYED! FUDGE DISMISSED AND HARRY POTTER INNOCENT!"
Harry read as he bit through a sausage, bacon and egg sandwich which was summoned from his hands by a grinning Katie. "I want it. No food like stolen food from your boyfriend. Let's see the paper?" Harry handed her the paper. "YOU'RE FREE!" With that Katie launched herself over the table and wrapped her arms around him. Everyone cheered as easily the most reclusive boy had a girlfriend, down the far end of the table Hermione scowled. "I'll prove you're guilty Potter. I'll prove it."
