MP7 BOSS:

1: If Harry ended up with anyone, it honestly depends on the person if they chose to be a proxy.
2: Slender is beyond our ability to truly comprehend by our definition of reality. Slender just exists, plain and simply he always has. It's like trying to explain a god to an ant, in the end the ant can't and won't understand. Slender is the same way. He wasn't created or made with the intent to be used by some powerful being. He just is and no one can understand beyond that he just is and exists.
3: Harry is definitely something to the second proxy but what has yet to be firmly hashed out.
4: Slender does everything for a reason and he is no fool. He didn't know the minister beyond he was some important person and Slender chose to avoid killing to avoid causing a future issue, as well to show how easily he could have killed them. It was a warning, one they won't get again.

1: It is possible but we'll see.
2: I have something lined up with that idea in mind.
3: Its in the works but there isn't enough time in my timeline for that to work pre hogwarts.
4: Honestly while it would be interesting it's never going to happen within this story, perhaps I'll write a one shot with it and we'll see where it goes from there.

To everyone who gave reviews:
Thank you everyone you are the guys who made me come back to this story and start plotting for it again. You are all amazing :3

A few days after the incident with the wizards.

When Harry explained to Masky what happened, the white proxy understood what happened. Somehow Harry gained one of Slender's minor abilities, Empathy. Or at least some sort of version of it. Slender had a great many abilities but his empathy allowed him to follow his pray and know when to play on their emotional stress to instill more fear in them. Harry could sense emotions and.. see the people making the emotion even though they were still extremely far from the mansion.

"Masky.. It was scary, it was like I was feeling that bad man's emotions, like I was the one filled with greed." Harry knew what greed was like, the dursley's were very greedy people and he'd seen that a lot with Dudley. When Dudley wanted something badly just because it was shiny, or when he wanted another cone of ice cream. Harry hated that feeling of greed and the arrogance wasn't any better. "Rake.. He broke me out of it. I saw red and then their feelings were gone and I could breath again." Harry added after a few moments, still sounding confused.

Masky listened patiently but wasn't sure how the Rake did that though he was thankful for it. For some reason the Rake has been sticking around more then ever since Slender brought Harry to the house. It was odd, even for the Rake but no one did anything to remove the creature as it was one of Slender's oldest proxies. Masky sighed and gave Harry a gentle squeeze as he held Harry tightly on his lap. "I think you gained one of Slender's powers Harry. It's called Empathy, the power to read others emotions. Your empathy is pretty much like his right now but it could change." Harry frowned as he listened before he spoke up again. "What can Dad's empathy do?" Someone else chose to answer that question.

"Oh he can track and spy on people and intensify their emotions at will." A different man wearing a yellow hoodie said. He wore a mask like Masky's but it was black with red instead of Masky's white with black. "Hoodie!" Masky said with a wide grin as he set Harry down on another part of the couch to throw himself at his partner and fellow proxy. Harry was left siting on the couch confused as he watched while Masky tackled the new person to the floor. "Uhm.. Who are you?" Harry asked before he realized that was a dumb question. Masky did tell him Slender always kept his Proxies in pairs.

Hoodie laughed and grinned as he tugged his mask up showing a young man in his 20s with short blond hair with sharp blue eyes before he pushed Masky off of him. "Yo, I'm Hoodie! Masky's partner."The yellow hooded man said cheerfully with a wave. Hoodie had an almost childish voice, high pitched and playful but not so high that you couldn't tell he was a grown up.

Masky hadn't told Harry about his partner but he was really nice and fun, as Harry learned while Hoodie ended up making them lunch.

"Masky and me go way back, we've been friends since we were kids and before we met good old slendy." Said Slendy was out still making sure the forest was safe and kept free of annoying humans. Harry ended up giggling at the nickname Hoodie had for his dad. Harry's curiosity over his new power forgotten with all the happy emotions around him. Masky rolled his eyes at the nickname for Slender. The creature would probably hurt Hoodie for that if he had been there to hear it. "Slender put us through hell before he took us for his proxies." Yet at the same time while Masky had been going through his own personal hell Slender had been the only one too make sure he was eating and alive while he played his usual game with Masky and Hoodie. Drugs had nearly killed him before Slender came.

"So kid you've managed to get one of the boss' powers huh." Hoodie said bringing up Harry's new ability causing Harry to frowned and bit his lip. "Yeah, I don't know how though.. I mean you guys don't have any of Dad's powers and you've been with him a lot longer, so how did I?" Harry had a point, it was weirder then normal even for them but nether Masky or Hoodie had a good answer for Harry. The only one who even seemed to have any idea Harry's new power was the Rake but it hasn't spoken to anyone. It never spoke period.

Harry had a weird feeling as he suddenly thought about the Rake, that maybe it had the answers he needed. "I need to to talk to Rake.. Maybe he knows why?" The moment Harry said he needed to talk to the Rake and Harry stood from the kitchen table, where they had been eating and chatting, and turned to go look for him. The Rake itself suddenly appeared, right in front of Harry's face.

The green eyed boy went stiff staring right in the Rake's pure black eyes and felt very… disturbed by the Rake's sudden appearance while he backed up into his chair trying to calm down and remember to breath from the scare. "Wow the Rake must like you!" Hoodie said with a laugh that caused Harry to glare at him. "Rakey boy doesn't ever just show up if someone wants to talk to him." In all honesty the Rake never showed up for any understandable reason other then to creepy people out as it seemed. For Harry to just speak that he needed to speak to Rake and just have the creature suddenly appear was odd for the Rake.

When Harry finally got his heart beat below a million beats a second, Harry turned to ask the Rake his question only to have the Rake in his face again.

Harry was beginning to realize the Rake really has no sense of personal space. "Uhm.. Mr Rake do you know why I got one of Dad's abilities?" Harry asked with a soft half scared voice.

Oh The Rake did know why. Just like his partner, this little child had the same powers. Harry looked closely like the man that had been the Rake's partner, right down to the eyes. The Rake has only ever seen one human with the same bright green eyes, as if they were lit by green flames. The creature sluggishly grabbed Harry's hand.

The Rake continued to stare into the confused boy's green eyes, until the Rake's black eyes flashed with a harsh blood red light and Harry's world went black.

Light returned to Harry's world as he found himself standing in the Slender's kitchen but no one was around. Harry was confused and frightened, nearly ready to cry out for help until he blinked. Almost like the Rake, a nude man was suddenly there, kneeling in front of Harry just staring into his eyes. This man looked human but his hair was slivery white and flowed down the man's body like a blanket of snow. His eyes were the oddest thing but Harry couldn't stop staring at them. Pretty lavender colored eyes stared back into his bright green eyes.

"You are like him." A soft sweet sounding male voice came from the man before Harry. "You are magical Harry." The man's smile showed his true nature to Harry. His smile was kind but the teeth were sharped and covered in blood, that then started to flow from the man's mouth.

A bright flash suddenly pulled Harry back into a world of darkness. Harry awoke sitting in his chair surrounded by a worried Masky and a panicking Hoodie who was talking a mile a minute about what Slender and Crawler would gonna do to them if Harry wasn't ok. "Hoodie shut up, Harry's awake." Harry found himself wrapped up in his brother's arms within a second when Masky noticed he was awake. " Hey kiddo are you alright? You gave us a real scare there." Masked spoke in a soft voice that made Harry smile. "Yeah.. I'm ok. It.. It was weird I.. I think I saw Rake before he was the Rake." Harry explained before he whined as he got a sharp headache. "Oww.." He rubbed his head as he finally noticed the Rake was pinned to the wall by numerous knives with black blood dripping down his mutated body. "Is the Rake ok!?" Harry cried loudly with a frightened look of concern for the creature before he rushed out of his seat to try and free him. The vision of the lavender eyed man was shifting in and out of the Rake's place within Harry's vision while the young boy tried to carefully remove the knives from the Rake's body.

Masky and Hoodie had forgotten the Rake. They had freaked out after Harry passed out and outright ended up attacking the Rake to get Harry away from the damned thing.

Harry hadn't really cared too much for the Rake before but now, now he needed to help him! Like some part of Harry was screaming for the Rake to be okay. Harry removed the knives and the Rake slumped down from the wall and into Harry's arms with a low wounded sound that made Harry sigh in relief that the Rake was at least still alive.

A day before Harry's birthday.

It had been a week after the Rake incident and Harry had a hack of a time explaining to everything what exactly happened, or what he was kinda sure happened.

Apparently Harry was a natural type of mutant among humans called a Magical, and their magic made them really adaptive to sigma radiation. The Crawler was oddly happy about the fact Harry was one and it told Harry that was why he had gained one of Slender's abilities. His magic gave him an easy way to protect himself by sensing strong emotions so he could 'see' and avoid them once Harry was trained. Problems came with being a Magical as they soon learned from the Rake. Somehow they made a bond between Harry and the Rake that allowed them to speak without being a fellow proxy or Sigma mutant. Masky and Hoodie were surprised to learn that Harry could see the Rake's true form, hell they were shocked he even had a different form. Crawler and Slender both saw the Rake's true body but they didn't understand how Harry could now.

The main problems for Harry was that the people who came for Harry weeks ago were Magicals, and with some stealing from Slender after the Rake led him to one of the Magical areas, they had learned Harry was famous. An infant hero who at about one years old killed the darkest magical of the age. Masky and Hoodie laughed long and hard when Crawler told them, and Harry that. Masky asked if they were serious and apparently they were. The books however refused to even name the dark magical, instead they called him He Who Should Not Be Named, which everyone felt was stupid.

Harry was shocked about it all, especially the children books all about his life and 'adventures'. It was all bullshit. Harry grew up being abused and someone got to make money off his life as if it was great and not filled with beatings and starvation. Harry was angry at the magical world. No one even came to check on him and it seemed they thought he had been living some amazing childhood being raised with love and care. Harry wasn't sure what he was more mad at, their honest stupidity or their abandonment of their so called Boy Who Lived to a life of abuse.

Harry wasn't the only angry one. Slender had chosen targets to hunt that played major parts in his child's pain. The Magicals' Minister of Magic was to be his first target and then anyone else who he speaks to. Crawler planned to join Slender in his hunts and help break the worthless humans who caused such damage to their child. Masky and Hoodie already knew they needed to protect Harry but now their protectiveness kicked into overdrive as they planned how to help Harry defend himself. Not everyone could be around Harry at all times and as they learned what most magicals were able to do, it just became a better and better idea to work out some ways to teach Harry how to defend himself. The Rake was still an oddity but almost more so now. The Rake was constantly around Harry and it didn't bother Harry at all anymore. While the Rake still hardly spoke when he did it was always solely to Harry. The creature was affectionate to Harry as well, stroking Harry's hair if the green eyed boy grew scared and even hugging Harry if he was angry.

No one not even Harry understood why The Rake started to do that but it didn't bother Harry in any way as he started to do the same things to the Rake in the rare situations the Rake was enraged or overly protective, and boy could he be over protective.

Flashback to a few days prior.

Slender had finally decided to remove the dark soul piece that was in Harry's lightning mark and Harry knew he wanted it gone too after Crawler explained what was so bad about it. Someone put a piece of their own soul inside Harry, a dark soul and that could be doing countless bad things to Harry and his growing powers. So everyone agreed to remove the soul piece from Harry, well everyone who had been there at the time.

Removing souls was dangerous for the person getting their soul removed but having another soul attached to yours being removed was understandably more dangerous.

"It's gonna hurt like hack isn't it?" Harry asked as Slender slid his hand over Harry's forehead. The touch was nice and helped to lesson Harry's fear and nerves. "Most likely child, just remember to breath and let it happen. Slender is not going to remove you." The Crawler said sweetly to their child. Harry nodded and took a deep breath. "Ok.. Do it." Harry hoped it was like pulling off a band aid, painful but quick. Harry was only half right.

Slender's hand tightened over Harry's forehead and Harry felt like he couldn't breath. It felt like something dark and utterly alien was touching his heart. It didn't really hurt so much as make him unable to move or even feel anything but sheer fear. It wasn't a reasonable fear like Harry knew what he was scared of but a deep instinctual fear that made Harry want to push and fight back as much as possible to make the feeling move away from his heart.

Crawler ghosted a touch to Harry's cheek and the touch made Harry start breathing again with a sharp gasp. The feeling was still there but now he could breath and remember it was his dad, his dad trying to help him.

Slender found the disgusting soul latched onto his child's soul and grabbed it painfully tight, squeezing and pulling it until it released Harry's bright soul. Harry started to scream from a pain so strong Harry felt like he was being ripped apart from the inside as the dark soul piece tried to cling to Harry's soul so it'd be ripped out with it. Harry screamed and screamed until his eyes blackened and glowed an acidic green all at the same time. Harry's soul began to fight back against the dark soul, pushing clawing with rage of it's own.

What remained of Voldemort's soul piece was ripped apart and destroyed. Slender pulled his hand back from Harry's head only to be attacked by the Rake with such pure rage that Slender lost several tentacles to the Rake in a try to keep the creature back. Harry had been the only one to bring the Rake out of the fear induced rage and attacks, as all it's fear had been for Harry.

The Rake hasn't left Harry out of his sight for very long since then acting as Harry's bodyguard. As well since the removal of the dark soul piece Harry's lightning bolt scar faded greatly, looking like a normal old scar rather then one that never healed.

Now with only a day before Harry's 11th birthday and having learned everything he had. Harry was so happy he had been saved by Slender Man. Harry would still being abused and hated for something he hadn't even known was apart of him. When Harry learned he was magical he realized that it was the reason the dursley's hated him. Harry didn't care for their reasons but Harry finally found some pictures of his mum and dad that Slender found as well. Harry was so happy with them. He did look like James Potter but not very much like Lily Potter, he had her eyes though and he was happy for that.

Still Harry had the feeling his birthday tomorrow was gonna be a stressful day for sure, but for once maybe a great day too.
