Chapter 13
Reviews:
TwinstarDragon: glad you liked it, since harry was a REALLY worried mother dragon (essentially), it seemed rather fitting. The name for the shinigami variant is when harry defends hermione from the troll. "Make for dome"? Thanks for the idea, i'm 'hatching' some ideas for it.
Previously:
"Hagrid, this warning will be for aragog and his children, since i'm assuming that you visit him: should any of you attack the school, they WILL BE DESTROYED!"
"I'll let them know," hagrid said as he paled a bit more at the warning.
Now:
The two students were watching through the window, when they decided to leave, so they could question harry in an abandoned corridor.
Later
In a corridor, harry was approached by sir nicholas. "Excuse me, sir? Might we have our conversation, now?" sir nicholas asked.
"Oh, crap. With everything going on, i COMPLETELY forgot about it. Let's have our conversation," harry said. "What did you wanna talk about?" harry asked.
"It's less of a conversation, and more of a request, sir," si nicholas said.
"Ok. so, what's the request?" harry asked.
"Sir, will you please finish the injury on my neck, thereby completely removing my head from my shoulders?" sir nicholas asked.
"Alright, sure," harry said. So, he got his zanpakuto out from his soul, drew the blade, then sliced at the neck of the ghost, finishing the job.
After the ghost's head fell to the ground, the ghost PROFUSELY thanked him, before reattaching his head. "Thank you again, sir. Now the headless hunt will HAVE to accept me," sir nicholas said.
"Glad i could help," harry said.
First quidditch match of the year
The quidditch match is going like it always has, except something different happened. One of the bludgers decided to attack harry. So, harry caught it in his hand, and crushed it to powder, scaring everyone around him.
After the game, headmaster's office
"Mister potter, do you know WHY you are here?" dumbledore asked.
"Some perceived slight, when nothing had happened?" harry snarked.
Because, mr. potter, you destroyed school equipment," dumbledore said.
"You mean the thing that attacked me from out of nowhere?" harry asked.
"Mr. potter, i HIGHLY doubt that it decided to just ATTACK you from out of nowhere," albus denied.
"Well, do you have a pensieve?" harry asked.
"Yes, i do," albus said.
"Great, get it out. I'll provide the memory of it," harry said.
After harry got the memory, and albus put his pensieve on his desk, harry put the memory inside the pensieve, and albus went to watch it.
After albus came out from the memory, he said, "i apologize. However, you will need to pay to replace it," albus said.
"Accio destroyed hogwarts bludger," harry said. After the remains appeared before him, harry cast an overpowered reparo charm, restoring it, but harry kept a firm hand on it, preventing it from going ballistic in the headmaster's office.
"Here you go, headmaster," harry said, before he put a stasis charm on it to stop it from moving.
Day after Christmas
As harry was exploring, while covered in the cloak that he got for christmas, he found a room with a rather large mirror. Looking at the top, he saw an inscription. "It's a sentence in reverse," harry figured out. It too about a minute for his to figure it out: "i show not your face, but your heart's desire," harry read. Looking at the mirror properly, he saw four people. The first two people he saw were his parents (like canon). However, it was the next two that he saw, that caused him to touch the mirror in longing. The first of the two was a rather short girl with black hair in braided twintails coming down from the back of her head. The other was a little girl with black hair and pink eyes. "My love?" the taller of the two girls smiled, and nodded. "Shion?" harry asked the smaller girl, to which the image of the black-haired girl nodded, as well.
"If you are reborn, my love, shion, then i WILL find you, so we can be together again," harry promised.
Unbeknownst to harry, albus was in the room, watching as harry looked in the mirror. He sees his parents, like i thought he would albus thought with a smirk. But then, a thought came to him. His love? Shion? Who are they? I don't know of ANYONE with a name like 'shion' and harry's too young to have had a lover.
Oh, poor, poor albus. Harry's CURRENT age is too young. However, harry has memories of his PAST LIFE. so, it makes sense that you wouldn't know about them.
Night before the end of the school year
Harry went to the third floor, to see what was hidden there. Upon entering, he saw a MASSIVE three headed dog fast asleep. So, he looked at the floor, saw the trapdoor, moved the paw, opened it, and went down it.
He landed in a plant that he recognized: devil's snare. So, he just relaxed, and was able to slip through.
He reached an open room with a locked door. So, harry went with the simplest solution: he punched it. The result? The door went flying, before splintering into pieces.
He saw a giant chessboard. He decided to have some fun. He was able to beat the opposing team in about 10 moves (harry was a captain in his previous life, so he has to be strategic at times, despite him fighting with pure strength and sword skills).
Room with a troll? Beheaded the troll.
Room with cursed fire? he opened the bottles and sniffed them, and chose the right one to go forward.
After he got into the room beyond the cursed fire, he saw the mirror. However, it was who that was in front of the mirror that got his attention.
"Quirrel?" harry asked.
The teacher turned around. "Potter," he said. "I was wondering when you would appear," he stated.
"Why are you here?" harry asked.
"I'm here for the stone," quirrel said.
"Stone? What stone?" harry asked.
"Don't play dumb, potter. The sorcerer's stone. Said to be able to give it's user immortality," quirrel said.
"That kind of stone is here?" harry asked in confusion.
"Of course, potter. Why else would you be here?" quirrel said in a snide voice.
"To see what's being kept hidden in this school," harry said honestly.
"DON'T LIE TO ME, POTTER!" quirrel yelled.
"He's not telling a lie," a voice whispered.
Harry was IMMEDIATELY on guard. "Who else is here, quirrel?" harry demanded.
"Let me speak to him, face-to-face," the voice ordered.
"Master, you're not strong enough," quirrel protested.
"I have strength enough, for this~," the voice said.
When the voice said that, quirrel turned to face away from harry, and started to undo his turban.
After quirrel finished unwrapping it, he took it off to reveal a human face that closely resembles a snake.
"Harry potter, we meet again," the voice whispered out.
"Voldemort?" harry asked.
"Yes," voldemort wheezed out. "See what happened to me? Do you see what i must do, in order to survive?" he asked.
When harry looked at the mirror, he saw his own reflection. When the reflection pulled out a blood-red stone, winked at him, then put the stone into its own pocket, harry felt something be entered into his own pocket.
"Unicorn blood has strengthened me, these past weeks, but it can't give me a body of my own. But there IS something that, conveniently, lies in your POCKET," voldemort said.
When harry pulled out the stone, voldemort was excited. "That's it, harry."
(voldemort tries to tempt harry into giving him the stone, just like in canon)
"So, what do you say, harry?" voldemort asked.
"Just two words," harry said. Harry then pulled out his wand, and pointed it at the stone. "Reducto maxima" harry said, destroying the stone in the process.
"Kill him!" voldemort screeched.
However, after quirrel flew at harry to grab his neck, harry grabbed quirrel's hand, broke the wrist in three places, then grabbed HIS neck.
"Master, it BURNS!" quirrel yelled out, just before his body turned to ash, which crumbled as it tried to walk towards him.
However, after voldemort tried to attack him in his ethereal form, harry quickly used his zanpakuto to cut voldemort, causing him to SCREECH in pain as he fled.
After harry put his zanpakuto away, he just had one thing to say: "if THIS was what my instincts were warning me about, i'd HATE to do anything similar in the future."
And so, year one has ended.
