A/N : Hey guys, before you start reading this chapter I have two quick questions for you :

Here the first one =I have planned for Harry to adopt a child at some point and I wanted to know : which option you will like the best ?

- A little human girl

-A little Faunus girl

Tell me your choice in the reviews !

Now the second question : Would you like Harry being paired with Salem ? Or an OC character (Faunus or Human)?

Sorry for those who were looking forward for Harry paired with a member of Team RWBY but it won't happen…

Again, tell me your choice in the reviews !

" Are you really going to attend Beacon ?" Amber asked Harry/Thanatos as the two of them stood in the palace's Library.

It was early in the morning and so there was no soul yet to judge. Beside, Harry had to prepare himself.

"Yes…" He replied casually as if it was not a big deal.

"Why ?" she asked him curiously.

Harry shot her glance of hidden hesitation : he couldn't tell her of the true reason of this decision. Sure, it was mostly to have a little… moment with Cinder Fall but also to have a better view of the Mortal Plane. Beside, if he attended Beacon Academy, he would get to see the other immortal, Ozpin.

"I need a change of scenery..." He replied after a second or two of silence.

"Oh…" Amber nodded in understanding but then blinked as she asked him curiously

"But if you are leaving, who will judge the souls ?"

Harry was about to answer before blinking once he realized that he actually had no answer for this.

"Damn it… I knew I forgot something !" he muttered under his breath while slapping his face.

Amber couldn't help herself from giggling in amusement at the sight which caused him to shoot her a small glare of annoyance. But it did nothing but amusing her more.

"Can't you use your power to… I don't know, multiply yourself ?" the young woman inquired him with a giggle.

Harry's annoyed face turned blank as he stared at her with an emotionless face. Then he slapped his forehead again, muttering to himself

"I'm such an idiot… Why have I never thought of that before ?"

"Maybe because, while you are Death, you are still a MAN and Men are not near as smart as us Women !" Amber retorted haughtily.

"Ha ha ha… Really funny..." Thanatos/Harry retorted with a roll of his eyes.

Ignoring the laughing young woman beside him, he then closed his eyes before focusing on his powers. Soon, enough a faint and blurry shape started to form in front of the two before it became more and more visible.

Amber stopped laughing when she saw the new figure standing before her. Harry/Thanatos re-opened his eyes to see his creation : in front of him stood a young woman, around 17 years old in age, with middle-long black hair, shining emerald green eyes and a well-built figure. On his forehead, there was no mark.

The clone was a carbon copy of how he looked like him so many times ago… or what he would have looked like at the same age… without glasses. Damn he really hated those glasses and was really glad to not have to wear them ever again !

The young version of him was wearing a sleeveless turtleneck dark gray top, white long sleeves underneath, long black fingerless gloves on, and black leather boots. His attire was topped by a black hooded cloak fastened to his shoulders by cross-shaped pins. Dangling at his sides were a pair of sharp dual swords.

Then contrary to him, his younger 'counterpart' was not as tall as him : while he now stood 8'5", his 'clone' was only 6'3" !

"Perfect~" Thanatos purred in ravishment as a smirk grew on his face while his 'clone' bowed at him respectfully.

Beside him, Amber looked back and forth between the two of them with disbelief, unable to form words. Both Harrys shot amused look toward the young woman.

Then the younger one disappeared in thin air and that the moment Amber chose to regain her composure.

"Where did he go ?"

"Vale… With him being a part of him, we share a connection… Each night, when he will go to sleep, everything he saw, heard, smell will be send to me…" Thanatos explained with a grin.

"If only I had that power before…" the young woman grumbled under her breath and he patted her head in mock-sympathy

"Awww you poor thing~" he cooed at her with a grin and she shot him a glare before walking away with a pout, leaving behind a laughing embodiment of Death.

Meanwhile, in Vale, the younger version of Thanatos (we will call him Harry James Potter for the occasion), was slowly entering a Vale Airship and he had to admit that it was surely a new experience for him. He had missed the feeling of the wind ruffling his hair and the sight of the blue sky.

Feeling the breeze was a pleasure he would never take for granted ever again. It made him remember the time he used his broom to fly during Quidditch games. Bittersweet memories entered his mind as the thought.

It was a long time ago…

Shaking his head, Harry then manage to make his way through the crowd of teenagers entering the Airship. The advantage of being the embodiment of Death was that he could anywhere without being noticed.

A smirk grew on his face as none of the people present knew that Death itself was among them. After all, the very concept of Death walking among the Livings was not something many would consider possible. In a sense, they would be correct but they didn't know that Death was human in appearance so…

Shaking his head, the 17 years old (in appearance) young man pressed his back against a wall, watching the outside through the 'window' as the Airship took off into the sky. He had greatly missed the light of the sun… or the sight of it enlightening the world.

He was so focused on this that, when a new voice echoed from nearby, he was almost caught of guard.

"Oh, I can't believe my baby sister is going to Beacon with me ! This is the best day ever !"

"Please stop !"

Turning his head toward where it came from, he saw two girls, a blond and black one hugging one another… well more like the former was hugging the latter who was trashing madly to escape.

The hugger was a a tall, fair-skinned young woman with lilac eyes and long, thick, wavy bright golden hair that fades to pale gold at the tips with a cowlick sticking out at the top. She was wearing an jacket that bares her midriff, with golden brown piping and short, puffy sleeves with black cuffs that feature two gold buttons.

Underneath this, she wore a low-cut yellow crop top with a drawing on the left breast in black. She was also wearing a brown belt covered by a pleated brown piece of material reaching from hip to hip around the back of her waist, with her emblem emblazoned on the right-most pleat in gold.

Underneath this was a long, white, asymmetrical piece of material reaching to her knee on the right side, as well as a pair of tight black spandex compression shorts that reach her upper thighs. In addition, she had a pair of brown, knee-high boots and orange over-the-knee socks, with the right sock pushed down just below the knee. A gray bandanna is tied around her left knee.

Harry had to admit that she was really attractive. If Molly Weasly was there, she would have called her a Bimbo. Shaking his head to get rid of the memory of the annoying woman, he turned his head to look at the other girl… and was taken aback by her appearance.

If the blond inherited the beauty side of the family, the younger inherited the cute side.

She was a fair-skinned young girl with silver eyes (SILVER EYES ?!) and neck-length black hair with red tips. The girl had a black long-sleeved blouse with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves, over which was a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, and a matching skirt with red lining. She was also wearing a pair of thick black stockings and black combat boots with red laces, red trims around the top, and red soles.

Her outfit was topped by a red hooded cloak (similar to the one he had) fastened to her shoulders by cross-shaped pins. Like the precedent girl, she had a large silver buckle which looked like a rose on her wide black belt, which was slung around her hips on an angle.

Harry was looking at her in shock as she was the carbon copy of a soul he had seen some years ago : Summer Rose. He then realized that he was looking at her daughters ! Shaking his head, the young man decided to focus back on what they were saying.

The blond was no longer hugging the other and in fact were talking.

"I don't want to be the "bee's knees", okay ? I don't want to be any kind of knees ! I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees !" Ruby was saying to her sister (they looked nothing alike).

"What's with you ? Aren't you excited ?"the blond asked her with a frown as if confused about something.

" Of course I'm excited... I just..." the shorted girl sighed deeply before resuming

"I got moved ahead two years ! I don't want people to think I'm special or anything..."

The blond gave the younger girl a one-armed hug saying gently "But you are special..."

Harry looked at the carbon copy of Summer with interest : she entered Beacon two years early ? Interesting… she must have done something incredible to manage it. However his thoughts were interrupted by the news which he ignored completely… or almost.

"The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities... If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department ! Back to you, Lisa !" a man was saying through the Vale New Networks.

Harry had listened at the word 'Roman Torchwick' and was now looking at the screen which was now showing something else entirely. On the screen, apart of the girl Lisa, there wasa photo of animal-eared demonstrators, without a doubt Faunus, holding signs saying "WE ARE NOT ANIMALS!" followed by an image of the logo of a growling red wolf's head with three scratch marks.

"Thank you, Cyril. In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights Protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony... The once peaceful organization has now disrupted..." Lisa began to say and Harry clenched his fists in slight anger.

While he could understand why the White Fang acted like this, they were being ridiculous. He was TOTALLY for having more right to the Faunus but he doesn't condemn violence… especially when innocents are hurt. Beside, because of the White Fang's action, Humans are becoming more and more wary of the Faunus-kind.

However, the news was then cut off as a hologram of a woman took its place.

She was a middle-aged woman with very light-blonde hair tied back in a bun with a curl hanging down the right side of her face. Her eyes were bright green in color and she wore thin ovular glasses. Shehad dangling teal earrings that match the hanging pendant on her collar.

In addition, she wore a white long-sleeved, pleated blouse that has a wide keyhole neckline and gauntlet cuffs that flared in pleats at the wrist. Her lower body was covered by a black high-waisted pencil skirt with bronze buttons and black fading into brown stockings. She also wore black boots with bronze heels and a cape that was purple inside and black on the outside.

Harry couldn't help but compare her to Minerva McGonagall, the Head of Gryffindor at Hogwarts. Why ? Because of their stern looks. Except that this woman was more attractive looking that the Old Woman. Even now, he still hold a grudge against the woman who had been nothing but Dumbledore's pussy cat (more like a b*tch).

Shaking his head, he focused on the present as the hologram started to speak

" Hello, and welcome to Beacon! My name is Glynda Goodwitch !You are among a privileged few who have received the honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy ! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it ! You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world !"

With that said, the hologram disappeared as quickly as it came. Harry rolled his eyes at the woman's name : seriously who in their right mind would name someone GOODWITCH ?! Then cries of surprise caught his attention

"Oh, wow! Look, you can see Signal from up here !"

He turned his head to see the younger version of Summer looking through the glass walls alongside the blond and several other people. There were all looking at the city below.

"I guess home isn't too far after all !" Ruby commented to her sister.

"Beacon's our home, now !" The blond responded to her sister with a smile before the sound of someone groaning caught their attention. The person, whoever it was, ran toward the back of the ship.

"Well... I guess the view isn't for everyone..." The blond commented with a roll of her lilac eyes.

"It was a nice moment while it lasted..." Her younger sister agreed with a nod.

Then her eyes suddenly landed on him and blinked when she realized that the two of them were staring at one another. However, Harry quickly looked away and the girl did the same with a small blush of embarrassment on her face… which was thankfully unnoticed by the blond.

A few moments later and after ignoring the two sisters during the rest of the trip, the Airship finally landed before opening the cockpit to let the passengers out. Harry saw a blurr quickly leaving the Airship to go straight toward the nearest trash can where he… released whatever he ate recently.

Yep, clearly this person had a problem with transports…

Anyway, everyone stepped out of the airship and Harry noticed that there were many others of those machines and all of them had passengers. Look like many people had been accepted into Beacon Academy…

The competition will be tough… but he will succeed !

Then he saw it : the Academy itself. He had to admit that it was a really breath-taking sight for sure and more welcoming that Hogwarts. It was also larger and grandeur looking. However, he still thought that his palace was better.

But then he felt it : it was faint but there was clearly someone magical someone… and it was coming from beneath the very foundation of the school.

"Is it possible ?"he whispered to himself softy as he narrowed his eyes at the school.

Behind him, he could hear the two sisters talking

"The view from Vale's got nothing on this !" it was the blondie's voice.

"Ohmygosh, sis ! That kid's got a collapsible staff ! And she's got a fire sword !" That was the younger sister and she sounded… like a child meeting its idol.

"Ow! Ooww!"

Turning his head, he saw the blond holding the younger girl by her hood with an amused look on her face

"Easy there, little sister ! They're just weapons !"

What she said must have offended her sister because the younger girl gasped in outrage before going into a small rant

"'Just weapons' ? They're an extension of ourselves ! They're a part of us ! Oh, they're so cool !"

Harry couldn't help but chuckling a bit : look like Summer's kid was a Weapon Lover. Sure weapons were cool AND useful but that was it !

"Well, why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it ?" The blond asked her sister with a raise-brow.

Harry watched with surprise when the younger girl pulled out a large scythe

"Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people, but better..." Summer's kid responded to her sister in a small tone at the end.

Harry was still looking at her weapon with shock before looking at the girl with amusement

"A Scythe-User too ? Like mother like daughter as they say ?"he thought to himself with a chuckle.

Then he decided to look back at the girls… only to realize that he had missed a part of their conversation. The carbon copy of Summer was pulling her hood back on her head, looking at her sister with confusion clear on her face.

"But... why would I need friends if I have you ?" she said to the blond.

"Well..." Goldielocks began to say nervously before a group of students dashed down the road.

Harry's eyes narrowed when she saw her face suddenly brightening

"Actually, my friends are here ! Gotta go catch up ! 'Kay, see ya, bye!" The blond quickly said to her sister before leaving abruptly.

Her sudden departure caused Summer's clone to spin around with dizzy eyes.

"Wait, where are you going ?! Are we supposed to go to our dorms ? Where are our dorms ? Do we have dorms ?" she cried out to her sister but she wasn't in sight anymore.

Harry felt a bit sympathetic toward her but then his eyes widened when he saw her still reeling backwards… heading toward a luggage cart ! As quickly as possible, he rushed toward her and just as she was about to fall backward, he caught her with an arm, preventing her.

"Wow that was close..." he commented while pulling the girl forward, away from the luggage.

Blinking, Summer's kid looked behind her, stared at the cart with wide eyes before looking back at him with nervousness as a hint of pink colored her cheeks.

"Thank you..." she whispered softly but it was loud enough to be heard.

"No proble-" Harry began to say with a smile when someone stepped in.

"What are you doing ?!"

Turning their heads, they saw a pale-skinned young woman with pale blue eyes and long white hair pulled back into an off-center ponytail pinned with a silver, icicle-shaped tiara. She was wearing heels and she has a scar running vertically down her left eye and face.

She was wearing a thigh-length strapless dress with a faint color gradation from white to pale blue at the hem. A small piece of black lace was sitting in the front of her neckline and the hem of the dress is scalloped and stitched to resemble snowflakes, with layers of white tulle under the skirt. Over this, she wore a bell-sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist, lined in red and with a ruffled collar. On the back of the bolero was a Crest.

A Crest Harry recognized with anger : the Schnee Crest.

"Sorry !" Summer's kid cried out to the newcomer almost instinctively.

"Sorry ?! Do you have any idea of the damage you could have caused ?" the Schnne hissed to the younger girl with narrowed eyes.

The girl, whose name was still unknown to him, was about to answer when Harry stepped forward

"Hold on girl ! Nothing had happened ! Your precious suitcases are fine so BACK OFF !" he hissed sternly at the girl who looked taken aback by his behavior.

It was as if it was the first time she had been talked to like this !

"How dare you talk to me like that ?! Don't you know who I am ?!" Snow White snarled to him in anger.

"I talk to people as I please girl ! As for knowing who you are… It is not really hard not to, Schnee !"Harry retorted with coldness as he glared daggers at the girl who took a step back in slight fear at his tone.

However, it quickly turned into anger again as she said those next words

"How could a brute like you get in Beacon ? As for you, what are you even doing here ? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon ?"

She was speaking to Summer's clone at the last part.

"Well… I-I..." the girl tried to speak but she was clearly nervous of the older girl.

"I will say it one more time Schnee : BACK OFF !" Harry snarled the last part in a really cold tone while releasing a bit of his aura.

The few people still present all stiffened in fright at the cold feeling before quickly leaving the area. Not too far from there, someone was watching them with slight interest: it was a fair-skinned young woman with wavy black hair and amber eyes who was wearing a black, buttoned vest with coattails and a single silver button on the front. Underneath this is a white, sleeveless, high necked, crop undershirt and white shorts with a zipper on the front of each leg.

She was also wearing black low-heeled boots and full stockings with a color gradation of black to purple at her ankles. Her emblem was visible on the outside of both thighs just below her shorts in white. On her left arm was a black detached sleeve with a silver cuff around her bicep, and black ribbons are wrapped around both forearms. A small, loose, black scarf is wrapped around her neck.

Back to the trio, the Schnee girl, her, was looking at him with clear fear in her eyes, unable to look away from the shining emerald eyes looking at her. It was as if she was being hypnotized.

Then a second later, the girl dashed away while some people, probably her helpers, followed her with the luggage.

Huffing in satisfaction as he glared at her retreating form, Harry looked back at the young girl beside him… who was looking down at the ground with sadness.

"Welcome to Beacon..." he heard her whispering to herself.

"Hey its okay ! Ignore the brat and smile !" Harry said to her with a bright smile to cheer her up.

It seemed to do the trick because she shot him a smile of her own, her cheeks slightly reddening.

"Thank you again for your help ! I'm Ruby Rose but everyone call me Ruby !" Summer's daughter, whose name was Ruby, presented herself with a hint of shyness.

Which was really cute by the way…

"A pleasure to meet you fair maiden, allow me to present myself : Sir Harry James Potter ! At your service milady !" Harry said dramatically in a Knight-like manner along with a fake reverence.

Ruby stared at him with a few seconds before giggling loudly in amusement. The girl with amber eyes, who had been watching the entire time, chuckled a bit at the scene before disappearing.

Then their moment was broken by the sound of someone's voice

"Hey…"

Turning their heads, they saw a tall young man with fair skin, blond hair and dark-blue eyes. He was quite toned, having strong muscles in his arms, shoulders, and upper chest. He was wearing a black short-sleeved hoodie with detached reddish-orange sleeves and a dark brown image of a bunny rabbit trimmed in white with cute black round eyes.

Covering his hoodie and hiding the rabbit was a white diamond-shaped chest plate cut off above his lower abdomen, and placed over his shoulders are a pair of white spaulders with rerebraces set under them. Below, he was wearing blue jeans with a white patch placed on the left knee and black sneakers which have "left" and "right" written in black on the respective shoes' soles.

In addition, he had two belts crisscrossing his waist, both different shades of brown, with a pair of small pouches on them along with brown wrist-length gloves with exposed fingertips and small metal plates over the back. A sword is strapped to his left hip in a sheath.

In short, he looked like a Knight coming out of a Fairy Tale !

"Hey..." the two responded at the same time, greeting the newcomer.

"I'm Jaune…" the guy said while holding out his hand.

"Harry James Potter… Pleasure to meet you Jaune..." Harry greeted back with a soft smile while shaking the offered hand.

Jaune smiled back before holding his hand out to Ruby who shook it

"Ruby..." she presented herself before adding something that caught the two boys off guard.

"Aren't you the guy that threw up on the ship ?"

While Jaune was left spluttering in shock, Harry did the one thing many would do in such a situation…

He laughed… much to the embarrassment of Jaune whose shoulders slumped in resignation.

(To be continue…)
