The path not taken
The hall was quiet. They had just returned from a nights sleep. Breakfast was upon the tables and ready for consumption by the audience. They had not heard much about the society in which this 'Chloe' was within but from what they knew it was far different from their own. Similar but different.
There were obviously types of magical creatures within their world. That as well as the usage of magic was clear for all to see. It was the sheer numbers of the creatures that confused them. Such creatures tended to reside in areas of high magical energy. This was the reason that it was rare for the mundane to run into such creatures as these areas tended to be far away from the cities.
There were of course exceptions, the most obvious of these being diagon ally. This however only created issues for the enclave due to the wizarding communities tending to be in such areas as well. The usage of wards being powered by the local ley lines being a reason.
"If I read the tone of the last chapter correctly, this one should behold something interesting" said noire quietly, she got a nod of agreement from the others at the table. Only Chloe had any idea of what would be coming this however was not much of an aid as there had been several amounts of time which had been skipped. She could however make a educated guess.
During the break after the last chapter and they had broken up into their appropriate groups to head towards their quarters. Those from Gameindustri had decided to have a look around the school as it had become rather obvious that there was some sort of connection between this location and the reading.
As they had headed out, Lily potter had approached them and offered to be one of their guides. The fact that they had accepted the offer seemed to please the young woman.
Lily was pleased that she was able to spend some time with her now daughter. She could tell that she felt awkward around each other so she focused more upon the goddesses as a way to ingratiate herself with them and maybe make it easier to get to talk to Chloe. The fact that during the tour she managed to slip in comments that were obviously for her daughter was only a plus.
So here they were back in the hall the tables loaded with snacks and drinks of various different types. In the middle of the hall was the ominous sight of the tome upon its pedestal. The last few days of this had let them gain an appreciation of how the enchantments worked. For the most part the book would go to someone random but it had shown times where it would go to someone related to the chapter at hand.
Thus it was that when the tome lit up and the people prepared for it to choose and it arrived in front of albus he could not help but wonder why. It was not until he opened it and read the chapter that he cringed at the obvious reason.
Chapter 6: Dumbledore arrives.
The chapter made everyone wonder. It was true that magic was capable of many wondrous things . But from what they knew there were limits. They knew that teleportation and other forms of travel were possible but to another world? That was unheard of. Just like time-travel was only possible to a limited extent as far as they knew. This of course raised many questions of why the chapter was named as such and how he gets to Chloe.
This of course did not necessarily mean that he did. It could be something else entirely.
It had been exactly four years since Harry died, and Dumbledore had finally figured out a way to use the sole tracking device left to reach 'Harry'. He wasn't quite sure where the boy had ended up, or why the other devices had stopped working, but today was the boy's birthday, and so the connection was the strongest it would ever be.
Albus nodded at this as it was old magic. Some that he had found himself within a old tome within the headmasters library. Before it had been called a 'birthday' to refer to such a day it was once known as a name-day as it was on this day that the link between the witch or wizards name and their magic was created. This was one of the reasons that magical contracts even worked. The fact that their name was magically linked to them.
Activating the ritual he had found, using the device, and the Hogwarts quill as a focus, the quill started writing in a jerky manner, like it was fighting itself, at least for the name.
Harry Potter
Chloe's private quarters
Leanbox Primary Basilicom
Leanbox Capital, Leanbox
Gameindustry.
Later, hindsight would have him admit that he should have used just the quill.
Looking at the address in confusion, one reason being that Harry is apparently living in a girl's room, as well as the rest making no sense to him.
"Can you get me there old friend?" he asked his phoenix Fawkes, as he really didn't want to use the other ritual he found, as it required him to sacrifice animals.
The self roasting bird trilled and landed on the old man, and delaying only to allow him to grab the acceptance letter before flaming him to another world.
The rounds of chuckles at the screen lightened the mood slightly as it was amusing to see the famous, all knowing headmaster looking so clueless and out of his depth. This however embarrassed and upset albus as it had blown a whole within his mystique.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
He landed on the ground and looked around. He was confused, this place looked like nowhere he knew in the world, with the closest place by how people were so oddly dressed being Akibahara in Japan. He winced when he realized that hundreds of people saw him arrive... and was also shocked when nobody seemed to care.
He looked at the shops around him and saw a book-store. A book-store with a book Titled 'Coloured Magic for Beginners. Black, White, Red, and Blue' next to a book titled 'Hardware and Software, Building Your Own Computer' in the window display.
There was a shocked silence at this, one that confused those that were native to game industry slightly, True they knew that there were some differences in the cultures but they did not know what. The only one who did know was Chloe.
Hermione sighed in resignation. Her thoughts upon the Otherworlds culture had been proven right. She did not know whether or not to be happy about this. It just went to show that magic could work with technology but at the same time the advances into such an area were so lacking and ridiculed that it was almost painful.
She would not admit it but she was slightly jealous of the different way that the other world had went about things.
Whilst the majority of the people in the hall were watching the screen seeing what the capital city of lean box looked like in wonder, there were those however that found the idea of magic and muggles being side by side as repulsive.
He completely disregarded the large building he appeared in front of, thinking that Basilicom was the local word for an apartment building, so it wouldn't be that fancy.
He continued looking around, and saw magic being used openly, right next to technology far more advanced than he has ever seen in his rare forays into the muggle world, for example a magic user wandlessly healing a child's scrapped knee, and nobody looking shocked.
He walked towards a food vendor and asked, "Can you help me find a place called Basilicom?"
"That is gonna get some looks" Neptune giggled getting looks of confusion. Seeing this noire sighed. "the basilicom is a multi-purpose building. They are the centre of government, temple and official residence of the goddess of the nation. It also contains guest rooms for important dignitaries such as other goddesses." explained noire for those in the room. True, there were minor Basilicoms but that did not matter at the moment.
The food vendor looked at the man oddly, and pointed at the rather large building behind the man.
Dumbledore thanked the man, all the while grumbling at missing the obvious, he entered the building, nearly being run down by a green cloaked figure and her companion, whom were on their way out.
"Sorry sir, we weren't paying attention," said the cloaked figure. "Let's head out CC.
The mentioned CC nodded and with a "Sorry," of her own followed her younger companion.
Dumbledore chuckled and commented, "Such a polite young lady, I wish more had her manners."
This drew some laughter from the listeners. Chloe herself could not help but smirk at that as looking back it was rather amusing.
He walked up to the receptionists desk, and said, "Hello, I'm looking for Harry Potter, I have information he lives here.
Chika, whom was manning the desk since the regular woman was sick shook her head and answered, sorry sir, I know everyone whom lives here, and there is nobody by that name."
Dumbledore was irritated. He had proof he was here. And after a moments thought, he showed the woman the envelope. "this was written by magical means. It has never failed to write the address of a student."
Chika took the envelope, and looked at the address before giggling.
Albus was annoyed at this, this young woman was finding such a situation as humorous, she was even laughing at him. No he was not amused. Those from gameindustri knew why and were also snickering into their hands.
She continued for more than five minutes before calming down and answering the old man, "Sorry, the very thought of Chloe letting a boy live in her room is just so funny. That her sisters would allow it is even funnier."
Taking the envelope back, he tried again, "Can I at least look?"
The oracle snorted, and replied, "You are free to look around the public areas, but nobody is allowed into the private rooms without the express permission of their owners."
"Could I speak to Chloe?" the old man asked.
"You were nearly run down by her," came the amused reply. "She probably won't be back until dark."
"You let a young woman go out that long?" Dumbledore thundered, only to stop when the woman across the desk was looking at him oddly.
Professor mcgonagle was shaking her head. It was things like this that forced her to occasionally go out into the muggle world for refreshers. She had been caught in a similar situation. It had not been fun. The ironic thing is that out of the teachers she was one of the most well versed in the mundane culture due to her student visits.
Chloe had been introduced publicly three years ago, and by now she was as well known as the rest of the candidates. The fact that he didn't recognize her bumping into her, would be rare, but nor unheard of. The fact that he didn't recognize her name, or that she would be perfectly okay being out that long with her partner... that was more than odd.
"That is true" said Histoire " The CPU and candidates are all public figures, their goddess forms more than their normal ones, within a CPUs city it would be incredibly rare to find someone who did not know who the patron goddesses were" This got a series of nods in understanding.
"Where exactly are you from that you don't recognize her name, looks, or power?" Chika said slowly.
The old man stopped, he didn't want to answer that he was from another world. "Scotland."
"Never heard of it," came her answer. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"Can I talk to her sister? It's important." the old man tried.
"No, she's in meeting all week, and at one of her sister's big games the day after her last meeting. I can set up an appointment for eight days from now if you want, barring an important one cropping up, or an emergency."
Dumbledore sighed and replied, "That will be fine." He knew he didn't have the authority or reputation to press the issue here, he also left a description of the boy he was looking for. Calling for his transportation he headed home after setting up a one pm appointment eight days from the day he made it.
Fudge shook his head. He knew all to well about the pain of the constant meetings and paper work that came with his office. He was just glad that he did not have to suffer alone in that pain. What amused him though was watching Albus getting so thoroughly rebuffed. The man was used to getting his own way for so long that it was not unknown for him just to march straight into the ministers office regardless of the schedule.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
It was unfortunate that he decided to go back seven days, after doing the tracking ritual again.
It was the season finale of blitz-ball, and Chloe was facing her opposite in the game. Leanbox vs. Lowee, a rivalry that has existed for quite some time.
Just as the ball was about to launched in... a man with a bird appeared in the middle of the sphere of water, without the enchantments the players have on them to allow them to survive the game.
Thinking fast she called a time out, grabbed the choking man, plus a bird that was now a chick, and swam with them to the edge of the water globe, and chucked him at the medical staff on duty, whom started giving the man CPR immediately. Seeing the thumbs up the staff gave her, she returned to her spot.
The game was fast, and it was as brutal as it could get within the rules, with at least three players tackled outside the globe per half of the game, with Chloe being one that was kicked out.
It was the cleanest game ever between the two teams.
Blanc smirked at that, it was a known fact that Vert and blanc had a love hate relationship. This had naturally flourished into a rivalry between the nations which when the treaty had been signed passed into the sports and other competitions between the two . It was viewed as a good thing as long as it did not go to far, since such rivalry helped the people flourish.
The students in the hall seemed to think of the game as something like quiditch or at least they did until the screen showed them the stadium creating the massive floating orb of water surrounded by seating. The teams lining up on markings that were somehow suspended within the water until out of nowhere the headmaster appeared. This caused them to laugh as they saw the now chick Fawkes looking around in utter confusion.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
In the medical section, a quarter of the way through the game, an old man, formally in hideous robes, was waking up. He was confused as to why his chest was bare, and why he had small circles glued on it, with wires heading to a machine that was making a most irritating beeping sound.
"Ah, your awake!" said a really chesty woman in a pink nurse outfit. "My name is Compa, and I'm the nurse currently assigned to you. Why did you teleport into the middle of a blitz-ball game?"
"Blitz-ball?" asked the old man asked.
In response Compa gave the old man a look, one that showed that she wondered what he was on, and turned on the TV, that was on the station showing the current game.
The old man blinked at the under water game, and watched in fascination as a teenage blonde girl nailed a goal with a vanishing/reappearing ball.
"You're in a bit of trouble," a new voice sounded. "Only team members, or maintenance crew are allowed in the main part of the stadium."
"Cave?" Compa asked a bit surprised.
The woman named Cave had red hair in twin-tails. A skimpy red, black, and red dress, a maid like black and white headband, white boots, and black knee high socks. She also had a well developed figure.
The screen showed an image of the two in question, this however caused a few of the males in the audience to get a slap in the back of the head. This however was not the only reaction as there were quite a few jealous girls as well.
The old man looked at the woman and responded, "I was using a ritual to allow Fawkes to... where is Fawkes?" the old man started panicking.
"Fawkes?" Cave asked.
"My phoenix!"
"Oh the bird, we put the chick in a cage, we will bring him to you after you are cleared to leave by both myself, as the head of Leanbox Security, and Compa as a medical professional."
The old man leaned back and sighed, he would be stuck here for at least two weeks until his bird reached an age that he would be able to carry him back.
He was forced to answer the questions to the best of his abilities, and even the fact that he came from another dimension came out... a fact that Cave just nodded to and noted down, after all they had experience with such a thing before.
At this Neptune tried to shrink herself to avoid the accusing stares from her friends. It had become a sort of curse that trouble naturally followed her and the more it happened the worse the strangeness was.
After the interview they brought in the baby phoenix, and let the man get some rest, although they wondered what the man would do for money as he had no local account.
A fact that he would soon find out after being released.
But for now, he decided to fool around with the TV controller, and accidentally accessed something called the internet.
He managed to avoid the two most common things found on the internet, and started a three year old news video file by accident while typing the name 'Chloe' in.
The file name?
"The Big Reveal! Leanbox has a Goddess Candidate!"
Lily smirked at the mention of the internet. She had her own flat that she used as an office. It did not have any wards or things like that as it had been filled with all of the electronic luxuries that she used to have. She also used it as a place to teach her children about the mundane world. Thus it was that she knew exactly what the tome meant by the two most common things found upon the internet. Ironically so did her son and daughter if the slight shaking of their shoulders was to go by.
The screen changed to show the file that Albus had accessed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
News file Plays:
Two reporters seem to start fighting over camera space.
"This is Famitsu!"
"And this is Dengekiko!"
Together: "And today we are reporting on a surprise announcement by Lady Vert!
Famitsu: "She has given to indication on what the announcement is, is it a new game? New hardware? Or some new project?"
Dengekiko shoves Famitsu out of the camera: "stop talking it's starting."
Vert walked upon the stage, flanked by her oracle, and a cloaked green figure. The figure, who's face was hidden appeared nervous.
Vert then started speaking, "People of Leanbox, I am holding this event to introduce to you a very special someone, or more precisely to have her introduce herself!"
The green Cloaked figure took a deep breath and walked up to the microphone, which was in the middle of a spotlight. Lowering her hood, she exposed her face to her nation for the first time in public, and spoke for the first time to her nation, "Hello everybody, m... my name is Chloe, and I'm your CPU candidate. I pledge to do my best!"
there was a giant "aww" from much of the crowed at the shyness of their new candidate, which caused her to blush, increasing her 'cute' factor. She then withdrew as her part was nearly over, she just had to stand in the background and pretend to be a piece of furniture.
Her atomic blush wouldn't go away though.
The rest of the story was entirely Vert fielding questions, about how long she had a sister, and why she kept it secret so long, as well as speculation about what Green Sister looked like, and how she acted.
The general consensus was that people were hoping she kept her shy and sweet personality.
They would be in for quite a shock when they found out.
…
…
Then he accidentally found the porn.
Chloe was blushing, she always found public appearances in such events to be highly embarrassing. They were necessary and she was happy to do them but despite what any one tells her she has always felt like she was messing them up
The mundane born were silently giggling and explaining about what porn was in the context of the internet. As expected the entire hall was silently chuckling.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
The next day saw a very hungry old man apperating to the basilicom for his breakfast appointment with Lady Vert.
He noticed a different 'secretary' than last time, (in reality the old one whom had recovered from being sick) and checked himself in. He was then led to a meeting room, in which two blonde females, one of which he recognized as the blitz-ball player on the marvellous muggle device he saw while being in the medical centre, another which looked like an older version of her, and the original 'secretary' he met.
"Mr. Dumbledore, My name is Vert, the Goddess of Leanbox, and this is my sister Chloe, and our Oracle, and unofficial middle sister Chika, whom I believe you met when the secretary was out sick," Vert started out.
Chloe meanwhile, in her jeans and T-shirt combo, since she wasn't out for battle, narrowed her eyes, that was the same man she bumped into over a week ago, and whom interrupted the game.
"I have to ask before we start, are you stalking me? I find it odd we keep bumping into each other." the little sister asked.
Albus groaned here as he could understand why the question was asked as it would seem a bit, unusual. It did not help that he was getting smirks thrown in his direction from his colleges.
The weasleys were not happy by the comment as , being fervant supporters of dumbledore, they thought that was only doing what was for the best. As had been said earlier it was harry, the boy who lived, that had went missing and thus needed to come back to help the wizarding world.
Lucious could not help but feel a bit smug at this. The great Albus Dumbledore being reduced to a normal man and not the godlike figure that he was sometimes touted to be. It was some what satisfying.
Chloe herself was smirking due to remembering the scenes ongoing It seemed that it was time for things to pick up pace. She could not help but look forward to certain reactions when the time comes.
"No young lady I'm not, the ritual just seems to keep dropping me by you for some reason," came the slightly confused reply.
Shrugging her shoulders she leaned back to wait for her sister to continue.
"I heard you are looking for a Boy named Harry Potter, and would like to search some private rooms. We have done a thorough search of all the records of our nation, both for the name, and the appearance, and I can guarantee there is no such boy here," Vert started off. "Why Don't you tell use why you think he's here?" She then paused hearing his stomach rumble, and continued, "we were about to start breakfast, would you like to join us?"
The old man blushed, and pulled out his bird from his pocket and set him on the table before answering, "Please, I'm stuck here, and I don't have any local currency."
Chloe shook her head and said, "If you wish you can accompany me on some low level quests to earn enough for a cheap hotel, and once you get used to it, we can set you up with a E rank provisional guild license. It would just be for some easy quests, but you should be able to earn enough until you find a way back."
Vert smiled at her sister, it was clear that the girl was a kind hearted soft soul. She seemed to be worried about the saftey of those close to her and her people, thus it was pleasing for vert to see her sister coming into her own after such a rough time in the beginning.
Vert however was not the only one who was proud of chloe. The potter family were as well. The level of growth that she had displayed to get to this point was inspiring. For her to be able to go from almost having a nervous breakdown to playing in front of a crowd in a national sporting arena was incredible. So yes the potters were proud of the girl.
"Thank you for the offer young lady, I would only need the help for two weeks while my phoenix regrows. I can also use the time to search for Harry, I probably should never have left him with the Dursley's..."
"Excuse me, did you say Dursleys?" Chika said in a voice that made liquid nitrogen feel like the sun.
At the same time Vert went grim, and Chloe flinched, and went blank faced, then her temper went nova, and she barely restrained herself from jumping across the table and tearing the old man's head off.
Albus flinched here as it was obvious that his counter part was on sensitive ground. Careful wording and political maneuvering would be needed. Unfortunatly for his alternate he did not seem to notice the difference in the air at the mention of the dursleys.
"How exactly did you track this 'Harry' here?" Vert asked coldly.
Dumbledore flinched, the power radiating from the three females across from him was more than either him or Tom put out, and that was for the weakest of the three, the strongest was putting out more power than both of them put together, and they were all focused on him.
He needed to talk... FAST.
The heads within the hall all slowly turned towards the goddesses. They all looked like they were in their teens or early twenties. There was no hint of power coming off of any of them but if the description was correct there was a distinct possibility that all of the women at that table were massively more powerful than all of the students combined.
"I used soul magic to track him, and yes I said Dursleys, why?"
"I think I know what happened to this 'Harry Potter' but I have to ask, what would you do if you found him?" Vert asked.
Dumbledore, despite the obvious threat from the girls replied, "I would have to get the boy's relatives out of prison, and put him back with them for his safety. I set up a blood-ward that would protect him if he lived in the same place as his aunt since she was the closest blood relation to his mother."
Chloe was about to lunge at the man when Chika grabbed her and led her out of the room. If looks could kill the man would've been atomized.
Within the hall it was not much different. In fact there were many people who were glaring holes into the old headmaster. Specifically however it was lily and her daughter that were giving looks that could be forged into goblin blades. Dumbledore was sitting here watching his entire reputation being destroyed and there was nothing that he could do about it. So it was that he continued on with a sigh, in doing so he could not help but wonder what other secrets would be revealed.
"Then I won't tell you, after all you are going to put the child back in a murderous, and abusive home. So no, you won't get the location, and by how Chloe was acting, you won't have her help either. I will have your meal to go, better stretch it out," came Vert's reply.
"Please, It's for his protection! At least let me move his cousin to the same home as him!" Dumbledore pleaded. "He also needs to attend Hogwarts, the wizarding world has been eagerly expecting his return for a decade!"
The door opened again, and Chika returned, accompanied by... Green Sister.
"Sister," the transformed Chloe said in her creepy monotone, "I will tell him."
"Why did you...?" Vert asked.
"Someone needs a clear head, I will head out to a dungeon or field to let Chloe vent after this meeting," came the reply.
Chloe shad been afraid that this would happen. "My transformation is different from most of the others" she said clearly reluctant to be explaining such. "Whilst I am the same person with the same memories, my normal and goddess forms are seperate to some extent in that I can remember what happened, know why I did what I did but cannot quite connect and fully understand the thoughts behind the actions." said chloe.
The looks of confusion prompted further explanation. "My normal form acts with emotion, this however is not how my CPU form acts. She acts purely upon logic. It is a positive in some cases such as this when emotion would get in the way I can transform and analyse things from a purely intillectual and logic based view point." this got nods from some in the room, mainly the guests and the ravenclaws.
Green Sister explained, about how Harry, although the boy didn't know his name at the time of death, died and was reborn as Chloe, as well as all the issues that she needed to deal with after the rebirth.
Dumbledore was disturbed and horrified. Both by the story of abuse, and the person speaking about it.
At the end the old man took out the letter and sighed. There wasn't a Harry Potter to attend. He then had a thought, why not have Chloe attend instead. He could conceal Harry not being there by saying he's getting special training. That would keep everybody off his back, and have him technically still attending.
"How about Chloe attend instead? We can keep her reincarnation a secret as long as possible, and let her meet some friends that won't be intimidated by her position."
Vert Shook her head and replied, "Impossible, without enough share energy present she couldn't survive."
"Share energy?"
"It's the energy our followers give off, either through worship, or more commonly playing games on our consoles."
"What if I could get enough generated?" Dumbledore asked. "As it sounds like if I set up enough of these... consoles, and enough people play them, it would solve the problem of her attending.
Vert shut her eyes and took a deep breath, now that the initial anger was depleted, she was thinking clearer. She activated a computer console built into the dining room table so she could work while eating in an emergency, and quickly created a account for the old man, and transferred a few thousand credits in.
"I have created a account with some money for you, it should last you a few days. Come back in three days and we will talk."
The old man nodded, and after getting instructions on how to use the account, he left. Green sister left right after him, dragging her partner out of her room, and flying to a field to allow Chloe to blow up some monsters for stress relief, and to vent her anger, as well as the backlash from transforming.
It would be two years before she set foot in the school.
The idea of someone from another world actually attending the school was exciting for the students. The mundane born were also excited about the idea of their being more entertainment options than the three or four games that the magical world seemed to have.
Albus turned the page and was shocked at what he saw. It was a status page similar to what that MAGES girl had shown them. He looked at them and could not help but be shocked at what he saw.

To see the difference in strength between him and chloe who was at the moment in time the weakest out of the three sisters, he could not help but be both pleased and worried. The girl was unlikely to listen to his advice for the greater good. She was however strong enough to hold her own exceptionally well.
This also explained why him and voldemort were so closely matched. If their levels were so close. It also explained why he could survive voldemort fighting to kill whilst he was fighting to incapacitate, the couple of levels that he was higher was enough to make the difference. What worried him though was if chloe was at such a level what level was her sister?
With this he closed the book, not mentioning anything about the stat sheets to anyone. It would be more trouble than good for them to know.
