Harry's P.O.V
"Harry mate wake up" Ron shook me viciously before I felt his hand hit my face leaving a stinging feeling on my right cheek "alright. Alright I'm awake Ron. Stop slapping me" opening my eyes to see a blurry mess of red hair and freckles. He stood up properly… WellWell as proper as zron did and said "Neville and Hermione are waiting down at the common room for that thing you're doing With professor Jackson. Are you sure you really can't tell me what it's all about mate".
Grabbing my glasses from the night stand I told him "For the last time Ron professor Jackson told us keep it a secret…don't worry though, it's nothing dangerous" Ron raised his eyebrow and said "Sure, look I still believe he's a Death eaters that all I'm saying" In the name of Melin was he still going on about that stupid theory of his "Ron. Please stop it. Professor Jackson is anything but evil"
Run stuttered as he said "but look at the facts Harry…. He has a tattoo on his left arm… HeHe talks fine to MAlfoy and the slimy snakes and hell nobody knows anything about him. We all thought last year that moody was a good guy and he ended up being evil!" shaking my head… Again, I said to him "and? Fake moody fooled even professor Dumbledore".
Sitting up I grabbed my wand telling zron "Look tell the others I will be down in 20 minutes. I'm Grabbing a quick shower first" moving swiftly past him before he could go on about his death eater Professor Jackson theory anymore. I didn't trust Professor Jackson yet but I was almost certain that he wasn't a Death eater and that was enough for me. Didn't fill me with confidence though that I was going out into Muggle London with malfoy and Davis today though… UghUgh thank god Ron didn't know I was leaving the place school with then today. He would never have shut up then.
Last night had been strange. Once more I thought I saw Drco in my dreams and it was like he knew I was there. Plus I had this weird dream about this girl…Katie I think she was called. Hermione had a dream about the same girl earlier in the week except there she apparently had purple streaks but when I saw her she had blazing red streaks. She told us almost the exact same stuff too about how war was looming over us and we needed to be even more prepared.
Stepping out of the shower I grabbed a clean t-shirt and a pair of long jeans that Hermione had bought me for my birthday…. It's so comfortable. So much better than any robes. Why did we still have to wear them again? Actually why did we even have to sue quills. If magic is the reason we don't need any Muggle contraptions then why not make a new magical equivalent to pens… Or even better just enchant pens so they don't run out of ink!
Walking down the steps to the common room I found Neville yawning his head off while Hermione flicked her head through the book on mental defences that Professor Jackson had suggested us to read. It was so long but I had managed to make it to chapter 100...of 4500. Hemrioen was much further along at 1000 chapters.
Neville looked at me and said half in a yawn "u took a while mate, like I know professor Jackson said to meet him during breakfast so nobody would notice us leave but this early" shrugging my shoulders I told him "eh what can I say I needed the sleep. Anyway what about the two of you? How are you doing?" Hermione put her thumb up as she turned the page saying "I'm good." I glanced at her and asked Neville "How long has she been reading?" he shrugged his shoulder and said back "No clue. She was already reading when I came down and that was an hour and a half ago." oh good lord…. We were never going to get her out of that book.
Neville then said "as for sleep. Not well. I still haven't told my gran that I'm getting a new wand. I'm scared that she will freak out" putting a hand into his shoulder zi told him "Nev, you will be fine. She will understand. Besides getting your own wand should rapidly increase your grades which will be great. You will be just as good as us on the practical side. Seeing how fantastic you are in theory you will be top of the class!" he gave me a weak smile and said" Yeah you're right… PlusPlus we should probably head off. I wouldn't be surprised if malfoy, Greengrass and Davis are already there"
Raising my eyebrow I asked "How do you know that Nev?" he rubbed both arms nervously "back when we were kids the 4 of us and a couple others who have since left the country used to be good friends. Then Daphne… I mean greengrass… She vanished. Her mum said she was doing stuff with her other family for her protection … She seemed different when she returned which was basically just before we started hogwarts. Then Tracey started to vanish too. Draco…. No Malfoy….he changed entirely. His dad wouldn't let him leave his sight anymore without the greengrass kids there. Then he seemed completely different…Darker, more snotty and a 'pure pureblood' but I will admit the olde malfoy… My Friend from when we were kids is shining back through ever since Professor Jackson arrived… II did wonder."
Wow I would have never suspected that Nev would ever have been friends with some good old pureblood snobs. The Two of us faced Hermione and was just about to go to another chapter. Nev and I faced each other with our eyes wide and we both jumped forward saying "Mione! No more!" The book slammed shut and she huffed "it's rude to close a girls book you know boys" the two go shrugged and said "yeha but I would miss my doctors appointment otherwise" Hermione took a deep sigh before putting her book away in her small book bag which she had with her and said "Fine let's go".
Teb three of us left the common room checking to make sure nobody was following us. We looked around us every few minutes and we couldn't see anybody but I kept on getting an itch like there was somebody with us who wasn't meant to be there. But my invisibility cloak was still in my chest when I left so I don't know any other way anybody could be hiding. We passed several people on our way to Professor Jackson's classroom but most of them were still half asleep and didn't question why we were heading that way and not towards breakfast. My stomach growled loudly at that thought and I just wished I could grab something to eat.
When we arrived at the classroom we found Malfoy, Davis and Greengrass waiting outside. The three were chatting away although Malfoy had his head in a book and were only saying the odd word. Nev nervously spoke up and asked "is Professor Jackson not here yet guys?" Malfoy looked up and I noticed his eyes seemed to be glinting red and he said "nope, 20 minutes late… Just like you 3". Suddenly Greengrass said "Granger your book!" as Hermione's boon fell out of her bag and hit the floor.
Greengrsss picked the book up and said "huh, Lorana's book of the mind. What chapter are you on?" Hermione said "erm chapter 1105… Why are you asking May I ask?" Greengrass grinned and said "I think you will enjoy Chapter 1587 Granger, it will be right up your alley way. As for why I'm asking well I've got a signed copy of the book that I've read. Great reading" both Davis and Malfoy coughed and Malfoy muttered "if you can finish it" Greengrass rolled her eyes as she gave the book back TO Hermione and said "well maybe if you two put some time into a Truly reading it you would enjoy it more!"
Draco coughed loudly "Daphne, it's 4000 Pages long and I'm dselxic, what in god's name do you expect me to do. It's hard enough reading an average book with my contacts in. Contacts? Was that maybe why his eyes were shimmering red. Suddenly there were some footsteps from behind us and we all turned to Professor Jackson fixing his Jacket "Sorry I'm late everyone. There as just some small things I needed to go over with my wife"
His Smile was lopsided like it always was mixed in with the warmth from his sea-green eyes which threatened to pull you in and kill you if you weren't careful. HE was wearing a much more muted purple T0-SHirt like Malfoy's during sports class today instead of his usual orange T-Shirts and he was also wearing a Orange T-Shirt.
He looked us up and down and said "Nice T-Shirt Mr Malfoy. Piper is a good friend of mine and her songs are genuinely fantastic" Malfoy eyes shot wide and said "You know the Piper Mclean?" Facing Nev I Whispered "Do you know who this person is?" He shook his head while Hermione whispered "A Muggle Singer. Her Albums have sold millions of copies and she has donated millions to charities. She apparently one of the nicest and genuine people you could ever meet" Professor Jackson butted in "She really is. It's honestly an honour to call her my friend and I'm not saying that because she is famous but just because I know her as a person."
He then said "SO are we ready to head off? We need to grab some breakfast before we do any work and there is this really nice restaurant just outside of Diagon ALley that I thought we could eat at." Seemingly all at once our stomach growled loudly and Professor Jackson laughed loudly "Breakfast it is then!" before then singling for us to follow him.
The 6 of us followed close behind him through the halls of Hogwarts towards Professor Dumbledore's office where I assumed we were using the Floo to get out of Hogwarts when we suddenly Professor Jackson and we all stumbled into each other. "Can I help you Madam Umbridge" Professor Jackson's voice rang out coldly as he started at the Pink Toad her face even more toad like than normal "Mister Jackson can you please tell me why you and these 6 students aren't at breakfast and why you are all heading towards Albus Dumbledore's Office?
You could feel the anger coming off Professor Jackson as he answered "Listen here Madam Umbridge, we have business in Diagon Alley and other places today ehich has since been cleared with not only Headmaster Dumbledore, but the Guardians of these young witches and Wizards and your precious little Minister of Magic's permission. We have a very busy day so if you will excuse us I would like to get to work" Before storming towards and then past her.
The 6 of us swiftly passed her, all of us glaring at her. Huh I would have never thought Malfoy would ever glare ata Ministry official and it was clear that Hermione found that strange too as she asked "Don't you need to act all proud and respectable in front of Ministry Officials for you dad Malfoy" HE coughed and said "No way. As soon as I'm done with Hogwarts I'm heading to America and getting a job with them. There is no way in magical hell that I would ever stay in this corrupt country where change seems to refuse to happen despite how much we try." That was oddly amazing.
When I looked backwards I could see her with a look of shock on my face before turning back around just in time to crash back into Malfoy...fun. He said groaning "Watch where you are going Potter" Pushing me off. Guess that's payback for Monday then. Standing back up I just about heard Professor Jackson say camly "Cookie's" Before the stairs appeared and Professor Jackson said "Alright here we go then." The 7 of us walked up the stairs and went through the Floo.
Hermione's P.O.V
Going through the Floo was a weird sensation which I still wasn't used to. I had been the first to go through it after Professor Jackson who went through first just to make sure there were no randoms in the leaky cauldron who would try and take advantage of teenagers on their own.
Daphne and Tracye came through next and they both went into a roll the moment they came out before standing up when I asked Daphne who was sorting her hair out what happened she said "Oh neither of us are good at using the Floo so we learnt how to roll when we came through so we wouldn't land face first. I snickered slightly and Tracey asked "What?" I smiled and said "Harry is really bad at using the FLoo too. One time he ended up in the completely wrong shop!" Both snickered and asked in unison in a really creepy "2nd Year."
All I could do was nod as Neville stepped out normally before brushing soot off his shirt and trousers. "Sorry about that, Harry and Malfoy started arguing about who would go through first. Both insisting the other went first. Suddenly through the flames appeared Harry with his messy black hair now covered in soot before he fell right to the ground breaking his glasses for what felt like the 100th time since 1st year.
Professor Jackson Picked the glasses up and with a simple circular motion with his right hand and the glasses repaired themselves before he said "Mr Potter, also get my friend to check your eyesight and prescribe you a much better pair of glasses if you need them. These things look like they have been used for almost 30 years!" Nobody dared to tell them that they had been used for 30 years if not longer.
Suddenly the Floo lit up green once more and Malfoy rolled out only to trip on Harry's legs and fall to the ground right next to him saying "You didn't even try to get out of the wya, did you Potter" Harry snickered and said "Of course not" Picking himself up and accepting his glasses from Professor Jackson.
Malfoy looked annoyed as he stood up but there was suddenly a warm burst of laughter from the bar rnag across the bar and the look of annoyance on Malfoy's face vanished and a smile started to appear and he started walking towards the source of the laughter. A Girl at the Bar with Mousy brown Hair and greenish blue highlights.
Suddenly the laughter started appearing around us and the girl at the bar vanished into blue smoke and somebody who looked like her past by Malfoy tapping on his shoulder making him dart around to face us again but the girl vanished and laughter rang out across the bar.
Malfoy said with a lovestruck look on his face "Katie please just stay in one Place" ALmost 20 identical voices said "But I am, just where am I though" Malfoy rolled his eyes and behind him the girl walked towards him before arriving behind him and she placed her hands over his eyes before saying "Guess who Draco" He smiled and said "God I've missed your antics so Much Katie." Turning around before she could remove her hands from his eyes and Kissing the girls right on the lips. Wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her into it which she seemed to have no problems about.
The small smirk on Professor Jackson's face suggested he was amused while the face that Harry had was priceless with his gob wide open as he stared at the scene before him probably thinking something along the lines of "No way Malfoy actually has a girlfriend that hot!" Knowing Harry. Turning to Face Daphne I saw she looked really uncomfortable trying to not look. Jealous maybe?
She sighed and said "Do the two of you have to do this every time you meet" The Girl...Katie I believe she was called said "Unfomerftable Sis? Plus we don't do it every time!" Tracey Snickered but all my mind could think was Sis? Daphne and this Katie Girl were Sisters? Daphne looked a lot more stressed and uptight while Katie looked extremely loose and ready to have fun. They couldn't be sisters could they?!
Draco Chuckled and said "We do make out a lot when we see eachother Katie" Before letting her go allowing Katie to run up and hug Daphne who accepted the hug although she seemed slightly annoyed "Alright Katie I get it you missed me." Katie sniggered and said "Yeah well neither camp is the same without you" Before turning around to face Professor Jackson and saying "Perseus Jackson….it's an absolute honour sir. I heard about your role in the.." He raised a finger to his lips saying "Another story for another time Miss… Sorry what is your name?"
She said looking up at him "Katie Longrow, Κόρη του Εκάτη, κύριε" Professor Jackson nodded and said "Very nice to meet you Miss Lingrow. Your Mister Malfoy's Girlfriend I assume?" She then shifted her hand and said in a deeper "And Boyfriend when I feel like it." Harry's mouth got wider as The Girl transformed into a more Manly appearance with his Hair going into a bun and her body being broader without a chest before saying "When I feel like I'm more Manly in a day I go by Keith Γιος του Εκάτη, κύριε"
Professor JAckson grinned and said "You remind me a lot of My Cousin in Law's partner Alex Ferrino. RIght down to how cheerful you are" Keith's eyes glowed and he said "Really?" Before doing another circular motion with his hand and appearing as Katie again. Professor Jackson clapped his hand together and said cheerfully "right who wants breakfast!" the reply left ringing in my ears.
Later that morning
"Right, you 4 stay safe. Miss Granger this is the Muggle address to where the doctor is. Mr Malfoy, Miss Davies and erm Katie you 3 should know two to get in. Mr Potter when you arrive there go to the reception desk, mention your name and that you have an appointment then mention my name. That should be enough to get you straight in with my friend. In the meantime I will be with Mr Longbottom and Miss Greengrass getting a new wand for young Neville here" hitting his hand against Neville back knocking him forward slightly.
We bid our farewells for the time being and 8 looked at the piece of paper that said where we had to go. But first we needed to make a small little detour at least for Harry's sake. London was in full rush as it always was with Muggle driving to to work or going shopping and hundreds of adults making their way past us without even giving us a glance. School kids out in the middle of the day and not a single person bothered to look down at us and ask if we were okay. We were about half way there when I made a sudden left. Other than Harry the other had no idea why we were making this turn or that it was even a wrong turn. We then went into an alleyway where a single black scruffy dog was sitting and stared right at Harry. Harry said "it… It's alright Sirius you can transform" the dog started to glow as it's dog hair vanished and its body expanded to be more human-like. Sirius Black appeared in his human form with his long dirty black hair and his best impression of Muggle clothes which made Malfoy and Davis laugh.
Sirius opened up his arms and said "Hey Kiddo, how are you" Harry ran into his arms and said "Sirius! God I've missed you. Thanks for coming" Malfoy then spoke up "Wait Sirius.. As in Sirius Black" Sirius gave Malfoy a cheeky grin and said "The one and only and you are… Wait are you Narrisscas son?" Malfoy nodded a slight tear in his eye and said "Yeah" Sirius let go on Harry while Katie pressed a hand against Malfoy back. Suddenly Malfoy ran forward and hugged Sirius tightly saying
"Uncle Sirius you need to get your name cleared. My mum needs to escape from him! She needs to get away but she can't do that without a Lord Black to stop the contract" Lords? Contracts? Must be some wizarding law stuff.
Sirius hugged Malfoy tight and said "he's still that bad? I thought after having a kid and the downfall of the Dark Twat the first time he would improve" Malfoy shook his head and said "Mum has to send me away to America during the Holidays to keep me safe. She takes the brunt of his beatings. He's a monster!" Sirius hugged him tightly and said "Draco is it? Look I'm still a wanted man" Davis then coughed saying "yeah can someone fill me in why Potter and Granger aren't running away"
Almost comically all of us including Katie said "it was pettigrew and no he isn't dead" Harry then asked Katie "How do you know?" She shrugged making a circle in the air with her finger and Said "Draco tells me everything I need to know" she finished the circle and suddenly Sirius's clothes changed so he was wearing a dark grey Shirt with a balck Waistcoat on two and a pair of black jeans. His hair suddenly appeared shorter and tied back into a bun and Katie said "Now that should disguise you Mr Black. Although the smelly dirty feeling will still remain but my illusion magic can only do so much." illusion magic what was that? Sirius checked himself over and said "I haven't looked this good since my last year of Hogwarts. Anyway where is this hospital place we are meant to be heading?"
Pulling out the piece of paper I said "it should be a few streets away according Professor Jackson letter" we were just about to step out of the alley when there was a large growl from behind us making shivers go up my spine. Davis sighed as we all turned around and she said "Mention a monster and monsters appear" tugging her Bracelet making a Golden Dagger appear in her hands. Malfoy sighed and twisted his Ring making the same sword as last time appear… It was actually real?! Then Katie yelled "Krost!" and a staff appear in her hands with an eagle on top and a spear end at the bottom. She swung it around and said "let me deal with this" before leaping forward and sending out a bolt of fire from the tip of the staff hitting the beast… A hellhound I believe Professor Jackson called the creature.
She then stabbed the beast with the spear part which i noticed was made of a black material and the beast burst into gold dust. The other two made their weapons transform back into everyday objects while Katie slammed her staff to the ground and the Eagle in the top came to life and started clawing. She said canly not bothered her staff was alive and said "Sora go and look out for any threats and do not get distracted by mice or rats. You know they give you a stomach ache" the Eagle flew off and with a snap on her fingers her staff vanished "shall we continue on then" We all just nodded and carried on. The rest of the journey to the hospital Harry and Malfoy were talking to Sirius about well anything and everything. Malfoy and Harry seemed a bit more relaxed talking to each other now knowing that they were sort of related through Sirius which was good. We came to a long side street and as we passed each door zi read out the numbers "228...227...229...okay who wrote these numbers! Sigh 230, 233, 232, 234 wait a minute two thirty two. That the door."
Malfoy and Davis looked between themselves and then Davis stepped forward and pressed her hand against the door. The entire thing pulsed the moment her hand pressed against it and it continued to pulse before the door glowed bright yellow and then the door peeled away revealing a white entryway with a sign saying "Welcome to the Medics Guild. Please be safe" Davis bowed and said "alright everyone else at first. The door will close after I enter. Malfoy led the way through the white lounge and when we got out we appeared in a large colourful room full of people. The room was much larger than the building we had entered in and I wondered if it was something like diagon alley or Grimmauld Place.
The room has bright colours going around the wall and looking towards a map I noticed that each colour went in separate directions. A way to show where to go perhaps? All around there were people getting treated for various injuries including missing limbs (that they were holding!" Large Cuts across their bodies and some of them even had weapons sticking out of them. I swear one kid literally had a sword sticking out of his stomach and he was just talking to the guy across him. MAlfoy, Katie and Davis didn't seem shocked at all and even waved at a couple of people as Davis sia d "Oi Moce. Why are you in this time?!" A Guy about my age looked up "Stabbed in the knee during capture the flag last night. WHat are you doing here Davis? '`` She pointed to Harry and said "School Business. Talk to you later?" The guy put a thumb up and waved goodbye.
Sirius then said joyfully "This place reminds me of St Mungo's but less Magical damage and more Stabby stabby damage" Malfoy chuckled and said "That's the best way to describe the MEdic's guild. Set up 9 years ago as a place of healing for all sorts of injuries." From another doorway someone ran past and said "Nurse Hydra Poison!" The reception desk woman sighed and said "Doctor Xhan can you please come out. There is a patient covered in Hydra Venom" A MAn appeared after a Egyptian Heliograph appeared and said "Mr Storut, this way please." The Man screamin ran into the Heliograph and vanished, the doctor vanishing just behind him
Harry looked around nervously and approached the Reception desk nervously "Erm excuse me Miss, I have an appointment with...erm Doctor Solace. My name is Harry Potter." Then draco hopped in "And the reference is Professor Perseus Jackson" The women's eyes widened and said "Go and take a seat Mr Potter. Dr Solace will see you in a few minutes" The entire room was silent as people stared at us and then there were some whispers "Perseus Jackson?! I thought he and Annabeth Chase retired from all of this stuff years ago.", "The Perseus Jackson? As in the one you fought in the second Titan and Giant Wars?" "Didn't Perseus JAckson work alongside Pharaoh Carter Kane and Co a few times?"
The reaction that Professor Jackson's name was getting was astounding and we walked to a free set of seats and sat down. Sirius sighed and said "This place is strange, So what was that thing that attacked us in that alley way" Davis stretched and picked up a magazine saying "That would be a hellhound. Probably one of the most common monster people face"
Looking at Harry I saw him looking at a photo intensely and he stood up from the chair and made his way over to it. Choosing to follow him I made my way over to the image. I saw that it was an image of about 10 people hugging and looking cheerful. They were scarred and injured but they looked happy. Beneath it read a message "The Seven and friends. The Greatest Heroes in History" Harry ran his hand over a teen with black hair and he said "That looks like professor Jackson." Malfoy coughed and said right behind us "That's because it is. This was taken about 8 years ago. Perseus Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Jason Grace, Piper Mclean, Leo Valdez, Hazel Lasveque and FRank Zhang. The Seventh and then Thalia Grace, Reyna Ramírez-Arellano, Nico Di-ANgelo and Will Solace. They are not the only heroes remembered here but they are the greatest."
There was a cough from behind us and we turned around to see a man about 24 years old with Bright Blond hair and SHinging blue eyes. He looked at the image and said "Ah we looked so young back then. Anyway My name is Doctor Solace, I believe Mr Potter is here to see me? So which one are you?" Harry raised his hand nervously and said "that would be me" Doctor Solace grinned and said "Great, it's nice to meet you Mr Potter. Now is everyone here with you coming in with you or will it just be yourself." Harry looked nervous so I placed my hand on his shoulder to comfort him and said "We will all come in." Dr Solace nodded and singled for us to all follow him.
We followed him through several corridors where we would occasionally pass someone who was screaming in pain with the doctor trying to calm them down. Dr Solace sighed and said "Apologies about them, attaching limbs can sometimes be a complicated Job. RIght here we are." He stopped before a large caesar Door and pressed his hand against it and there was a crash and bang in the room before he twisted the handle to open the door.
The ROom was much larger than your typical Doctor's room with enough chairs to fit us all and a long bed/table like thing which he singled for Harry to sit on as he walked over to his desk and started to enter several details into. "Harry James Potter...Hogwarts ah there we go!" He then turned to face Harry and said "So Mr Potter, Percy tells me that your body hasn't filled out at all over the past month and a half despite his vigorous exercises. That is very worrying"
He stood up and his hand glowed as he started to approach Harry saying "This is just a quick medical scan. Anything you think you should tell me before I look" Harry shook his head and Dr Solace started to run the ball of yellow light across Harry's Body as a list of various things started to appear on a piece of Paper. By the time that Dr Solace had covered his entire body the page had expanded by three times making Dr Solace's eyes widen and say "Bloody hell Mr Potter."
He looked at the first one and said "Basilisk Blood? Ah Right mixed in with Phoenix tears. That would explain why you aren't dead Mr Potter. Can you please tell me how you have either in your blood system Mr Potter?" Harry then started to describe our second year which made Sirius go white while Do SOlace scribbled it all down on the computer and said "Well that was both extremely brave and foolish of you Mr Potter. You remind me a lot of Percy. Kind of ironic that you look like you are a miniature version of him" Harry's face scrunched up and I could tell he was annoyed at being compared to Professor Jackson again. It was bad enough at school.
Dr Solace went down and said "32 Broken bones, 24 of which didn't heal properly and the bone in your right arm is only 3 years old. Mind telling me how that happened." Harry Winced and said "A Lot of them came...from my family, some came from my ridiculous adventures and Quidditch and the new arm came after a Professor erased the bones in my arm and the Nurse had to regrow them." Dr Solace hugged Harry much to his surprise and said "I'm sorry to hear your family did that to you. I'm assuming that would be your mortal residents. I will contact Muggle authorities and get them to remove you from their care. I will then deal with Mr Black over there and get him instated as your legal guardian."
Sirius started to cough and said "How the hell did you know it was me" HE smirked and said "I'm a healer and have the power to tell when someone is lying. You have the Aura of someone who has tried to tell the truth all their life and people have just ignored them. I will let Annabeth know about that...or Hazel...actually both and they can deal with that. That's beside the point. Now what's this at the top of your head?" Brushing his hand against Harry's scar while it was a bit more faded.
Harry flinched slightly and Dr Solace asked "How long have you had that scar Mr Potter?" HArry said "Since I was 1….why?" Dr Solace looked around the room and said "Scars should heal over. They may leave a mark. Gods know I have plenty but that looks as if it happened yesterday." Dr Solace showed a long white scar along the top of his right arm. "A beast did this to me when I was 15. EVen the food and drink of the gods can only heal Injuries so much." Before rolling down his t-shirt and jacket once more.
He started the orb up once more and pressed his hand against the scar again and said "It feels dark, actually it doesn't just feel dark but it's almost as if someone else's soul is in your scar...oh this feels like really dark magic." He turned to face Malfoy and asked "Your one of my newer step-Brothers right. WHat do you specialise in?" Malfoy rubbed the back of his neck and said "Music more than anything" Dr Solace Groaned and said something in another language and then turned to Katie. "You practise WIld Magic right?" Wild Magic?!
Katie nodded and stood up and then he turned to face me and said "I can tell you are an old friend of Mr Potter's. I need you to come and place a hand on his shoulder for support" I nodded and walked towards them and placed a hand on Harry's shoulder.
Dr Solace said to Katie "Bring you staff out" KAtie nodded and her staff started to appear from two circles before she pressed it against the ground. He then said to her "Focus on a concentration spell and focus on the Scar and imagine an image of it expanding outwards" She nodded and closed her eyes, smacking the bottom off her staff against the Ground with a Bang and tipped it towards Harry Slightly. Dr Solace recreated the orb and placed it against the scar for the third time. Suddenly an image started to appear from Katie's staff showing this weird shadowy feature with a large snake white face.
Harry was starting to sweat profusely and he said ``What is it?" Then Sirius spoke up "A Part of He-WHo-Must-Not-Be-Named. At least him just before his original downfall...his soul must have clung to you when the spell deflected on that halloween night. Dr Solace cursed loudly and said "RIght I can;t do anything about this, magic like this is way over my paygrade. Especially seeing how this ties into Annabeth's research." Katie dropped her staff, Sweat pooling down her face and she said "Sorry I can't...I can't hold it up anymore." Dr SOlace shook his head and said "It's fine, I couldn't do much anyway."
He then Said "Right Mr Potter...I need to book you in for another appointment in a month's time where you shall be with me and a couple of my colleagues where we will examine this thing in your scar then hopefully two weeks after that we should be able to remove it. As for what I can do right now" He grabbed a small snack bar and a small glass and poured yellow liquid into the glass "Drink this" Handing it to Harry who drank it down in one solid gulp before he took the small part of the snack bar and ate it.
Dr Solace said to him camly "I would give you more but you would actually combust so it's not a good idea. Anyway I shall have some a potion order sent to Madam Pomfrey at Hogwarts which will help with your Malnourishment. Now do you want Glasses or Contacts or Both?" Harry thought it over and I whispered in his ear "Get both it will be better" Harry looked at me before facing the Doctor again saying "Both...but how do you know which level I will need?" Dr Solace smiled " a Doctor's magic. Very simple. RIght I will have some sent to Hogwarts in a few days."
He then turned to face Malfoy and said "Mr Malfoy, can you please deliver this to Annabeth Chase, Percy will tell you where she will be although you can probably find her at Hogwarts library. Finally before I see you all out, Mr Black please come here tomorrow for a health inspection and so my friends can build a case for you to become innocent again." Sirius nodded and then WIll said "If that is all. Goodbye" Before snapping his fingers and all of us fell through the floor and suddenly landed on the ground outside of the Hospital "I hate when they do that" came from Tracey.
Harry PIcked himself up slowly and said "Did he just shuck us out?" Malfoy grinned and said "Yep, it so we don't create any chaos in the waiting room. Now let's get back to Diagon Alley. Professor Jackson should be finished by now.
Percy's P.O.V (Shortly after leaving the other group)
"What do ya mean I have to Wait!" My voice rang out as I glared at the Goblin in front of me who was just stambing his books and said "Apologies Mr Jackson but not just anyone got into this Vault. Oh for Hades Sake, Putting a bit of power in my voice I said "I was trained by Chiron the trainer of Heroes, I am the slayer of Kronos and one of the seven who defeated Gaia. I walked through the darkest pits of Tartarus which you might discover if you don't take me to the Vault" The Goblin rolled it's eyes and Mr Longbottom asked "Are you okay sir?"
I nodded and said "I just find goblins annoying, the greedy little buggers." Miss Greengrass said "They are rather annoying. I don't understand why they don't just use Dwarves or themselves to look after their money" Tapping her own foot against the ground impatiently. She had ADHD too it seems. Suddenly another Goblin came up to us and said "PErseus Jackson, Mr Jackson;s Companions please follow me" We got into the cart and shot off down through the tunnels of the bank.
Behind me Mr Longbottom yelled "How far down are we going!" ONly to be met by Miss Greengrass screaming "To the Very…..Booooootoommmm AGh!" Before she threw up over the side of the cart before grabbing hold of Longbottom's side. I laughed and said "Hate the speeds Miss Greengrass?" She glared at me as she said "You could say that Professor!" Before hurling over the side again. To be fair I was barely keeping my STomach on as we were going so quickly. SUddenly we pulled to a stop and I got out saying "Please tell me there is a better route up"
Miss Greengrass got out unsteady and said "Good word why does this Vault have to be so far down. Mr Longbottom shook his head and said "I don't think we have ever been this far down before." Stepping forwards I saw a large Vault door with twelve figures around it. The Vault of The Olympian Gods. Then there were 4 other figures around the circle. Hades, Hestia, Nike and Hecate. Pressing my hand against the door an aqua colour rang across the entire vault door and the Trident glowed brightly and there was clinging and clanging from the other side of the Vault door.
The Door started to steam so I said "Step back everyone. We have no idea what is on the other side of this door. The door creaked open and a bunch of sea water feebly splashed out and I said "I think you need to refill the defenses Goblin." The Goblin shook his head "Because you are one of the heirs of this vault the defences fall. If you weren't a heir you would be hit by something...Now please get what you need" I quickly grabbed several gold drachma and some gallons and then said "Mr Longbottom and Miss Greengrass grab the coins that you need" Miss Greengrass grabbed several Drachma but left the Gallons while Mr Longbottom did the opposite and grabbed only Gallons.
The ride back up was slightly better and I didn't feel the need to lose my waffles this time as I went up. Miss Greengrass did and I said in Latin "An non fuisse semideum, praeferendum esse non debet in rebus simile est?" She shook her head and replied "Et plerumque manere post magica, et usum" Mr Longbottom looked between the two of us and said "Mind filling me in Daphne, professor?" I grinned and said "Learn Latin then we'll talk" Miss Greengrass grinned up at me before winking at Mr Longbottom making him turn away and blush bright red...hmmm very interesting.
We walked along the quiet streets of Diagon Alley and found Ollivanders shop which would hopefully sell Mr Longbottom a brand new wand. The Three of us entered the dimly lit shop to find an older man with grey hair sitting at a counter writing saying "I will be with you in a minute Perseus Jackson, Daphne Greengrass and Neville LOngbottom. I just need to finish this crossword"My had reached for riptide despite it being in pen form. Only Mom and Monsters called me by my first name "Do not worry Mr Jackson, There is just an identification charm on the door."
I relaxed and looked around the shop to spot several Wands on display and Ollivander said "So Mr Longbottom, you finally came here to get your wand then?" Mr Longbottom looked nervous so Placed a hand on his shoulder to reassure him just like Chiron and Paul had done so many times to me in the past and said "Yes he is" Mr Longbottom seemed to gain a bit of sense back and said "Yes I am.
Mr Ollivander said "Try this Mr Longbottom" for the next hour we went through several wands and after each one Mr Longbottom got more fed up and less confident so looking at Miss Greengrass I bobbed my head at Mr Longbottom and she stood up saying "Neville You can do this. THink about the time you defended Draco from Lucius when we were kids. Think about how you felt in that moment. That the kind of wand that deserves to have you. One that respects your bravery and courage" The mention of Lucius Malfoy and hitting young Draco sent my mind spiralling back in time
(20 Years Ago)
"Stop it! I said stop it! I won't let you hurt my mommy anymore" The smell knocked against my nose and I banked but stood my ground, my arms out, trying to stop smelly Gabe from hitting my Mom.
The man said tipsy "Come on now your little brat, I just want your Mom to make me some salad dressing. My hand slipped that's all. All you need to do is get out of my way" His hand raised to slap me
Present day
Oh god I haven't flashed back to Smelly Gabe in years...I wonder who ended up buying that stone statue of him. Hopefully it was destroyed at some point. I turned back in to hear Ollivander say "Well well Mr ongbottom. I believe we have found your wand. Caesar Oak with a Phoenix feather and a Snake Scale...very interesting. Anyway that will be 10 Gallons" Wow how long did I go into memory lane for?!
Mr Longbottom handed the money over and I said "Alright team, the other should be done by now knowing WIll so we should get back to the muggle side of London." The Two of them nodded at me and I led the two of them through the horrible Leaky Cauldron and to the otherside where we found the others casually walking towards us.
Then I saw a man with them talking to Mr POtter and Mr MAlfoy. The Moment he got close enough I grabbed the sides of his Waistcoat and banged him against the wall of the WIzarding Pub making the Man's head bobble back and forwards. I said angrily "Who are you and what are you doing with my students!"
