The land of Gamindustri was divided into four Nations, each ruled by one of four Goddesses. But our focus lies on the nation of Lastation. In the center of the City lies a small tower, surrounded by a circular Garden. This is the home of Lastation's CPU, Noire. Normally she could be found working diligently to further the prospect of her nation and make it the best place in all of Gamindustry. But today she just knew she couldn't get any work done, as today was the day she was born...and the day she died. Noire had an incredible secret she never told anyone about, not that it's really worth knowing. Noire remembers her previous life. Who she was before she died and got reborn as a CPU. A very rare known fact is that all the CPUs are in fact reincarnated humans, although their memories are wiped clean. For some reason, however, this didn't happen to Noire. She still knew that she once was Rose Potter, and that she died at the tender age of five at the hands of her mother's "relatives" the Dursleys, after having been abandoned by her birth parents. Yes...the memories were still fresh as ever, even as a baby, Noire had an incredible memory. A dark robed figure, a red light cast by her mother, the bone like white stick that was pointed right at her and a sickening green light that hit her forehead before reflecting onto the Dark Figure and blasting it to pieces, leaving just Dark Robes behind. The next thing she knew is waking up too the loud shriek of her aunt Petunia.
For a long time Noire assumed her parents died but no. They just dumped her for some reason that was beyond her. She learned this when, as if outdoing her mother, they sent her pig cousin Dudley birthday and Christmas presents, while she got nothing but ugly hand-me-downs from her cousin. Living with the Dursleys was hell, but luckily it was a short hell. When she was five, Noire got sick and as the Dursleys had locked her up for a week in the cupboard no one checked up on her, so before they even were aware something was wrong, Rose Potter had long since died. She then woke up in the Sharecite Chamber of Lastatio and ever since, for the last 20 years she ruled over this nation. Yet the day of her birth always made her remember her past life, as much as she tried to forget. Rose Potter was dead. She and Noire shared no features besides there Black hair and even then the colour was the only resemblance.
Where Rose had unruly short hair, Noire had long straight hair, tied into two ponytails. Rose had beautiful emerald eyes, whereas Noire's were red like two rubies. Rose was smart, shy and sickly. Noire was confident, strong and if you would ask a certain pink-haired CPU, even more shy then before but what does that stupid dolt know?!
"YOOOO NOWAAAA!" Noire couldn't help but groan. Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Noire turned around and looked at the annoyance that just entered her room. The girl in question had light purple hair, matching purple eyes, and was dressed in a white parka with blue white striped socks, and dark purple shoes. This was Neptune, the CPU of Planeptune. Noire's Rival (secret best friend/potential crush but good luck getting Noire too admit that) and overall pain in the ass.
"What do you want, Neptune? I seriously have no desire for your idiocies today." Noire said with a sigh. Neptune poutet at her but quickly starter too smile.
"Oh come on Noire, no reason to be all gloomy and depressed!" Neptune came closer to her, smiling brightly.
"Who said anything about me being depressed? I was fully enjoying the view before you came and marched in and gave me a—" but Noire wasn't able to finish her rant before Neptune's goofy smile vanished and she looked sternly at the goddess. Noire was in fact a bit taken back with how serious Neptune looked.
"Noire…" Her usual goofy and carefree voice was just as serious, even sounding a little like Purple Heart, "don't lie. I'm your best friend, even if you never will admit it. I know something is wrong. Isn't today your birthday? You're supposed to be cheerful and happy! I would joke it's about you worrying about becoming an old woman, and I'd say something like "but don't worry, let this old hag tell you're still young and flourishing', but even before you were always distant on this day. So! Spill! What's wrong!?" Noires eye twitched a little. It always hurt her pride to be reminded Neptune was far older than her. Over 40 years older in fact.
"Again nothing it's...urgh who even let you in?!" Asked an annoyed Noire, but Neptune didn't say anything. She just stared at Noire, until Noire finally sighed. "...fine. Please take a seat." She pointed at the small table on her balcony.
"Better tell Uni too. She's worried sick you know. She was the one who called me." Neptune said. After thinking for a second Noire nodded, called Uni up, and told her to bring some tea and biscuits, as well as pudding for Neptune. A few minutes later all three were sitting at the table.
"As...both of you know we CPUs used to be human, although our appearance changes and our memories get erased, with normally just some snippets remaining. I assume that's the same for you two?" Both Nep and Uni nodded. "Well...I too once was a human, but there is one difference. I remember every part of my short five years being alive." The atmosphere became ice cold in an instant.
"Woah woah Noire...d-did you say...five years? I'm sure I misheard you and in actuality it was fifty—" But Noire interrupted Neptune.
"No, five. I was only five years old when I died. On this very day 20 years ago...dying all alone in a cupboard under the stairs due to being horribly sick and given no attention whatsoever." It was deadly silent. None of the other two said a word while they looked horrified at Noire. She took a deep breath and was tightly holding her cup of tea. Thinking about this...remembering….wasn't easy.
"When I was...I don't know…maybe a year old…my parents got attacked. After that, I was abandoned and lived with my hateful aunt and uncle, the Dursleys. They never physically abused me but it was clear that I was unwelcome. Whenever something…."freakish", as they put it, happened, I was locked in my cupboard without food and little water. I assume said freakish things were magic as I have no other explanation. It was during one of those punishments that I got sick and being weak from no food I….I died. Then I woke up here, my mind sharper, my body more mature. And...that's the reason why I—URGH" She couldn't finish speaking as Neptune started hugging her, as well as Uni.
"W-WHAT DO YOU TWO THINK YOU'RE DOING?! LET GO!" Noire pleaded, but the two ignored the blushing girl and continued hugging her. After a few minutes Noire just accepted it and secretly she enjoyed it. The two where just about to let go when all three felt a weird feeling in their stomach.
"W-what's going on?!" asked Uni in panicked tone. Blue fire gathered around them and before anyone could react, it fully engulfed them and the three vanished.
At the same time, a few minutes earlier in the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry,
Lily Potter stared at the gathered students. It was her first year as assistant Charms Professor and it already was quite the exciting year. The Triwizard Tournament was held in Hogwarts after many years of absence. Personally she wasn't a fan of something so dangerous, but Wizards had a thing for dangerous sports, case in point, Quidditch. If her husband and son were here she could already imagine the argument that would break out with such a statement. Now if only they hadn't chosen this day for this...Halloween. The day….the day her little baby girl Rose died. Lily could feel her chest tighten and she tried her best to not let her face slip into its usual combination of tears and pure anger that always adorned her face when Rose was mentioned. After Voldemort attacked and her protection spell made Harry reflect the curse onto him it sadly rendered Rose a Squib. Dumbeldore somehow, to this day she wasn't sure how he did it, convinced them to send Rose to her sister Petunia. Unfortunately that senile, stupid pathetic old-! No Lily. Calm yourself. Deep breath. In...in his...no there was no other way to say it, in his senile idiocy he forgot to mention the fact Rose had no Magic! Making Petunia neglect her daughter, give all the gifts she send to Rose either to her fat pig of a Cousin or sell them….to say Lily was furious when Petunia non nonchalantly called her and told her her "Unwanted brat is finally dead. Happy?" Was an...understatement. Just thinking about that...that thing she called a Sister! She was glad both Petunia and Vernon where rotting in jail!
Sadly, no anger changed the main fact. Rose is dead. Her sweet little girl died at the tender age of five, thinking she was unwanted and unloved by her parents. Lily to this day hated herself. Both she and James were devastated at their failure as parents. Each Halloween she, James, and Harry went to Rose's grave to mourn for her. Ah yes, Harry. Her beloved son…good god preventing him from becoming an arrogant jerk was hard, and at times he still was a self righteous prick. Yes he was a good boy, but very settled in his views, very much believing in Dumbledore's Light/Dark thinking. Speaking of, the old man he was standing up, it seems it was time to announce the Champions.
"Students! Honored guests! The time is right to select our three Champions! Any moment now the Goblet will announce its selection! If you are chosen, please move into the back room and wait for your instructions." Just a few seconds later the flames turned red and a small piece of paper shot out.
"The Champion for Durmstrang is...VIKTOR KRUMM!" The entire great hall erupted in applause and Lily could hear Karkaroff say "Great work Victor, I knew you had it in you!" Once Viktor went into the backroom the hall turned silent once more for about a minute, before another piece of paper emerged.
"The Champion for Beauxbaton is...FLEUR DELACOUR!" Ah the Veela girl…well Lily hoped she was able to perform well. Her female peers certainly took it well! Lily did take some satisfaction in seeing most of the Beauxbaton girls cry. They were only here for one day and god were they insufferable, complaining about every small thing! Ah! The next Champion was announced.
Dumbeldore catches the last piece of paper. "And last but not least the Hogwarts Champion is...CEDRIC DIGGORY!" The Huffelpuff table exploded in cheers while the young Diggory stood up and waved to everyone. Lily liked the young man. Talented, charming and polite, and not as difficult as his father was at times. Dumbeldore shook Cedric's hand before addressing the students.
"Now we have our three Champions! They will face many...challen...ges" Dumbeldore trailed off when suddenly the flames once more spit something out. On top of that, it was not one, but TWO pieces of paper. Dumbeldore caught them both and his face went pale.
"Harry and…...Rose...Potter…" The hall was quiet, and Lily stared at her son who looked just as horrified as she was. Her anger then spiked.
"IS THAT SOME KIND OF SICK JOKE?!" Screamed Lily in anger. "MY DAUGHTER IS DEAD! WHO PUT HER NAME INTO THE GOBLET DUMBLE—" but her rant was interrupted when blue flames shot out of the goblet and formed a giant fire that spit out three girls. The youngest had purple hair and was dressed in nothing but a white parka, striped socks and purple shoes. The second oldest (in terms of appearance) had black hair, and a black dress. The oldest wore a fancy looking white and black ensemble, her black hair tied into two long ponytails. What was even worse was that the way the three landed left their undergarments on full display, making many boys stare and the girls blush. But what made nearly any adult draw their wands on them….where the black haired girl's eyes. They where a deep Red. A sign of Dark Magic.
After this very rough transport, Noire was at first pretty dazed but she quickly got there bearings and registered multiple things. One they weren't in her Basilicom anymore, but a giant hall instead. Two, they were surrounded by teenagers. Three, many were pointing sticks at them and four...OH GOD HER PANTIES! Noire quickly stood up and adjusted her skirt, a faint blush on her cheeks. Uni followed soon and Neptune...was still out of it.
"Well good day you three. May I acquire who you are and how you got here?" Noire looked at the old man who stood in front of a giant goblet that was...spitting fire. Noire slightly narrowed her eyes but did not summon her weapon. They looked just as surprised that the three arrived as they were so they were probably just surprised.
"I am Noire. CPU of Lastation. This is my little sister Uni, my CPU Candidate, and…one minute. WAKE YOU USELESS DOLT!" Annoyed, Noire kicked Neptune to wake her up.
"BMERGH NEPU! Geez Noire, no need to be so violent! You're supposed to be the cute type of Tsundere, not the super violent type. You're not a loli after all, nor is your hair pink!" Noire rolled her eyes.
"Just introduce yourself!" Neptune looked around, confused for a moment but then shrugged.
"Okay! I am Neptune, the cutest and most protagonistic of all main characters. Dimensional traveler extraordinaire, fourth wall breaker and super awesome older sister! Oh, and I'm the CPU of Planeptune!" She grinned brightly but Noire just landed a smack on her head.
"Don't treat being a CPU as some kind of unimportant afterthought!" Uni just….facepalmed. They were just kidnapped to who knows where and the two had nothing better to do than argue.
"Excuse me but I'm unfamiliar with the term CPU. But I believe we have more pressing matters. Ah! Harry my boy please go to your mother while I talk to our new guests." Noire looked at a boy with bushier hair and round glasses, then she….no...no this couldn't! Her eyes widened in shock and terror when she saw the mother of Rose Potter sitting there taking the boy too the side to talk too him. The old man apparently caught her reaction.
"Miss Noire, is the name...Rose Potter familiar to you?" All colour drained from Noire's face, her legs starting to shake. Neptune, noticing her friend being just short of having a panic attack, stepped in front of her.
"Oy! Generic old man dude! What's it to you? More importantly, who even are you?! And why did you kidnap three innocent maidens like us?" Neptune made a dramatic gasp. "Is it to sacrifice us in some evil ritual? Are you gonna defile our sweet, untouched—OUCH!" Uni hit Neptune on the head before she could dabble on. The old man just smiled at their antics.
"No no Miss Neptune, we certainly will not do anything to you. But you are right, pardon me for forgetting my manners. I am Albus Dumbeldore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As for why I seek out Miss Rose well...she has been chosen to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. Her name came out of the Goblet of Fire, meaning she now is in a binding magical contract. Not participating could mean death for her. Strangely, miss Potter died nine years ago, yet you three still have been brought here. If my assumption is correct one of you is Miss Potter, while the other two were slimy close to her when she got apparated to Hogwarts...and from Miss Noires reaction…well...let me say welcome home…Miss Potter." Lily and Harry looked horrified at Noire, not knowing what to make of it. The students started to whisper to each other.
"...No." whispered Noire. "I am NOT ROSE POTTER! ROSE POTTER DIED! ABANDONED BY HER PARENTS! SHE DIED ALONE AND SHE'S NOW GONE! I MAY HAVE BEEN HER IN A PREVIOUS LIFE BUT I AM NOT HER!" Noire's eyes started to glow with power while she stared at Dumbledore who remained calm.
"Sadly, the Goblet disagrees. Even if you are a reincarnation as you claim, it seems your soul is identical. This….is a delicate matter. Point is you are chosen by the Goblet, and there is no safe way to break it. I'm….I'm sorry but we have little choice in this matter. Please follow me and your Brother into the backroom. We can discuss things more...privately." Noire thought for a moment before nodding.
"They come with me." It was clear she meant Uni and Neptune. Dumbdkre opened his mouth but Noire didn't let him get a word in. "I'm not leaving my little sister and a fellow CPU here alone when I know nothing about you." Apparently understanding her point, Albus nodded and pointed at the back door. The three cautiously went inside, followed by Albus, Harry and Lily.
Inside, the other three Champions were getting a bit impatient when the group came in. Followed by the other twoHeadmasters, an older grouchy looking man, a man with a hooked nose and greasy hair and a more fat man who was grinning so brightly as if Christmas and his birthday were on the same day. Before anyone else could say something he grabbed Harry and Noire and dragged them in front of the others...but he couldn't say anything as Noire ripped her arm away and glared at the man. "Who gave YOU permission to touch me? Who even are you?" The man didn't lose his cheeriness.
"Ludo Bagman, Miss Potter, I'm one of the judges! Speaking of, I present to you the fourth and fifth Triwizard Champion!" None of the Gamindustri inhabitants liked how excited he sounded. Where everyone else was tense and serious, he just didn't stop grinning, as if he was incapable of reading the room. Neptune learned towards Noire and whispered into her ear. "And you say I can't read a room, geez…" Noire couldn't agree more.
They had ignored the small discussion that followed until Dumbeldore turned to Harry.
"Harry my boy, did you put your name into the goblet? Ore asked an older student to do it fore you?"
"No sir! Mum and Uncle Remus would skin me alive even if I triedz" Dumbeldore nodded then turned to Noire.
"I know the question is redundant but I doubt you put your own name in?" Noire just gave a nod but then Madame Maxime interjected.
"Of course d'ey are lying!" Before Noire could defend herself the greasy haired man spoke up, after giving death glares to Noire the whole time.
"I wouldn't be surprised. Since he came to this school Potter always overstepped boundaries and then we have...this little prank here! Tell me girl how long did ypure father plan this?!" Noire...blinked, being extremely confused.
"Pardon? I...don't understand" she looked around but the other Teachers including Dumbdore looked just as clueless, with Lily looking away from the man with a disappointed look on her face.
"DON'T LIE! YOUR DEATH, YOU REAPPEARING! ITS ALL JUST ONE OF POTTER'S PRANK, ISN'T IT?! Pretending his daughter died, garnering the sympathy of everyone and then…" But he couldn't finish his rant.
"Severus are you insane?! James would never do that, and do you belive I ever would allow him to?!" The man's mouth clamped shut in an instant. With a sigh Dumbeldore addressed everyone.
"It has been a long night for us all. I suggest we all take a break and sleep over this. Minerva, escort our three...guests to one of the guest quarters. The other champions too should return to their beds. Barry? Would you mind researching a way of getting Mister and Misses Potter out of this?" The grumpy man gave a short nod.
"I'll have Weatherby look through everything we have on the Goblet but I'm afraid the chances are slim." With another nod Dumbeldore turned to Noire.
"I shall send someone tomorrow morning to fetch you so we may discuss this peacefully in my office while being well rested. Is that acceptable?" Noire gave a short nod and the three followed the stern-looking black-haired woman. Harry looked like he wanted to say something but Dumbeldore put a hand on his shoulder to stop him.
"Not now my boy. She is on high alert and obviously suspicious of us, not that I blame her. It may be better to wait until tomorrow." He nodded and looked after the three. Noire did look back for a brief second. When her eyes fell on Harry, they softened up for a bit before she looked away.
