Hogwarts Courtyard Somewhere in Highlands, Scotland, Great Britain:
Harry Pov
So that is how he found himself standing in the Courtyard as the bodies were being burned one by one through the furnace. All the elves were here with him, as well as Sam. The Courtyard was utterly silent; the furnace had been silent with runes engraved inside it. This was their way to pay respect to the dead. He had already selected the place for the memorial. It is located in Cairngorms, Scotland. He had already warded the area with every imaginable rune and ward, So it was known practically untraceable by the muggles. The place was beautiful, and he thought it was the perfect place for them. He had added names, ages, and the day of their death to the wall. So, the future witch and wizard visiting could pay their respects.
After standing there for what was hours, Harry and Sam made their way inside Hogwarts. The furnace would continue its work. It would take at least three to four days for the bodies of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade to be burnt. Then, the elves would move to other places to search for more magical properties, slowly covering GB and the whole world, searching for magical, if any are still alive. Harry had little hope of finding any witch or wizard alive after the scene in Hogwarts, but he could hope and would not give that hope until he had availed all avenues.
Hudo and Dis were already waiting for him as Harry and Sam entered the Entrance Hall. "You guys know what you have to do right."
Both the elves nodded their head, but it was Dis who replied, "Master Harry Dis will look for great witches and wizards, hoping to find them. If he found any alive, he would immediately inform Great Master Harry Potter; otherwise, Dis and other elves would start removing magical things from the houses and store them. Once all the magical things have been removed, Dis will remove the wards and allow the house to be visible to the muggle." Dis finished.
"Take as much time as possible; be thorough. We need to remove every magical object from the houses so that it does not fall into the hands of muggles. Leave the wards of the big magical sites intact, okay? I have seen what it looks like when it happens," Harry said. After almost a century of neglect, he was surprised that they had not fallen. They would be in very poor shape. Bring them down in a controlled manner so they do not harm anyone when they come down on their own in a violent burst of magic. The big magical site should be fine for now, and he had time to decide the best option for them. He just hoped he did not need to make the worst.
Harry stood straight and said, "Captain Carter, we are leaving. You are coming with me," and started to make their way toward the gate.
"Where are we going to," Sam asked, trying to keep pace with him.
"The place where we would get the answer of what the hell happened here. How did it happen? I already know that, but I need to get a complete picture before I do anything. So, Captain Carter, we are going to the place where my journey into the Wizarding world." Harry replied.
"That still does not answer my question of where we are going, but I can see that you will not give it to me. So that is okay, and you can call me Sam," Sam replied looking expectantly at Harry.
Harry stopped in his tracks after hearing the last part, which caused Sam to walk into him. He had never imagined this offer from Sam; it must have shown on his face as She quickly clarified.
"Well, it is for convenience. It looks like we are stuck with each other. You are clearly not going to kill me. You would have done it by now if you wanted to and clearly have the means. I cannot stop you, as clearly shown by your performance earlier. I can not even think of running away before your elf finds out about it and stops it. So my best option is to get to know you and vice-versa, so it increases my chances of survival." Sam replied.
This made Harry smile, and he replied, "Sam, are you trying to apply the Kidnapper negotiation handbook on me."
"Yes, that's exactly what I am doing," Sam said.
"Okay," Harry said and started to turn to walk towards the gate.
"Was there anything else?" Harry asked when Sam was still looking at him.
Sam just shook her head and said, "Nothing," and again started to follow him.
As they crossed the Gate, Harry held his hand and said, "Hold on tight, Sam. It was quite uncomfortable the first time." When Sam gripped his hand tightly, he apparated away.
If Harry had paid attention, he would have noticed Centaur's eyes on him as he and Same apparated away. As he disappeared, Centaur looked in the sky at the star and said, "We will soon be among you."
A small alley close to The Leaky Cauldron London
Sam pov
Sam appeared in a dark alley and quickly fell to her knees, trying to keep the content of her stomach inside her. After a few minutes, she could control herself and got up and said, "Woh, you were not kidding. It is uncomfortable."
"Yeh, it is uncomfortable for the first few times, and then you get a hang of it, and it becomes second nature. Are you okay to walk?" Harry said.
"Yes, I will be alright," Sam replied.
"This way, then," Harry said, leading her outside the alley. Sam looked around and found that it looked exactly like an Earth city; if she was not mistaken, this was a perfect replica of London. The cars, people thing was like London. No, that was crazy. She could not be on Earth. Her captor would not keep her on Earth. She was on a different planet. Yeah, that made sense.
Sam was so caught up in her thoughts that she did not notice that Harry had stopped and now was holding out his hand. Were they going to do the disappearance thing again? She really did not want to do it again so soon. At the look of uncertainty on her face, He just laughed and said, "Do not worry, we are not apparating. You need to hold my hand to go where we are going. Otherwise, you will be turned away."
With an apparent reluctance, she took Harry's hand, which increased even more when he walked towards the building, which looked like a broken-down old shop front and would give away any moment.
"We can not go there. It looks like it will collapse any moment." Sam tried to reason with Harry, but he paid her no mind and continued to walk toward the store, dragging her with him. As soon as she crossed the door and was pulled inside. Sam found out that it was not a storefront but a pub which was covered in dust from its long abandonment by the look of it but was in no danger of collapsing. Sam released the air she was holding in her lungs in relief.
As she looked at Harry, he was holding a stick, no a wand, she corrected herself. What has her life turned to? She had joined the program, hoping to meet advanced raises and study their technology, but here she was, almost ready to believe that magic was real and witches and wizards existed on this planet, and she had come from their school. As she watched as Harry waved his wand, the dust cleared, and broken furniture fixed itself. Now the pub looked like a pub you would find in the 17's
Sam watched as Harry looked around the pub with a fond smile on his face. This was the second time she had seen it reach his eyes, the first one being when he talked about Hogwarts. He was frantically looking around as if each corner held great memories for him. She did not disturb him and let him enjoy the moment.
Harry shook himself out of the memories and led her to a small, walled courtyard with a dustbin. He began tapping the brick in the wall. Sam was ready to ask Harry what he was doing when something happened. It was like magic. Sam almost face-palmed herself at the thought. The brick started moving, some moving inward, some outwards, until the wall went in a small hole first but formed a large archway.
Harry looked at her as if this was an everyday occurrence and said, "Welcome Sam to Diagon Alley."
please review
This is the end of Earth Arc. In the next chapter, Harry will go through the Stargate and start his life as Hecate or Ares, as he would change his name too.
