AN: this is a self-indulgent fic with drabble-like chapters.
Harriet Potter arrives in that universe with nigh a sound.
She just suddenly existed there in a blink of an eye.
For a moment, the sounds of nature died down due to her arrival and she stands there in silence as she surveys her new environment with her emerald green eyes.
It appears that she is in what seems to be a forest with large oak trees surrounding her. It looks like she picks the right place to appear.
The sounds resume as she continues to stand there.
As she listens to the sounds around her, her hearing suddenly picks up a sound of something large snoring loudly.
Curious, she slowly walks towards the sound and finds a giant figure sleeping against a tree.
She stares at the naked giant and wonders what universe she has landed herself into this time to have produced such a creature.
She continues to walk towards the giant.
The giant must have heightened senses to be able to sense Harriet approaching him because he suddenly stirs into wakefulness.
As she stands right in front of the giant, Harriet watches as the giant opens its large eyes to stare at her for a long moment.
"Hello," She greets and observes as the giant sniffs the air right before he recoils away from her.
"I don't smell that bad," she remarks with a frown while the giant begins to crawl away from her with a look of terror in his gaze.
Harriet decides to stop the giant's escape and apparates in front of him.
The giant startles and lets out a whimper of surprise.
"Where do you think you are going? All I want is to talk to you," Harriet tells him but the giant simply regards her with a look of abject fear in his gaze.
"Where are we? What's the name of this place? And where is the closest town from here?" She asks him but the giant remains silent while he scoots away from her.
"Can't you talk?" She cocks her head to the side.
The giant doesn't respond to her question except continues to move away from her with the ever present fear in his face.
"Well, if you can't talk, do you mind if I look into your memories and see what is going on?" Harriet asks despite her momentary hesitation.
She really needs to know where she is at and the only one who can provide her with an answer is the giant who appears to be incapable of speech. If that is the case, she has no choice but to extract the information from the giant's mind.
The giant simply moans unintelligibly.
"I'll take that as a yes then," Harriet states.
Afterward, she looks into the giant's terrified gaze and dives into his mind.
At first, Harriet is assaulted by gory images of the giant eating people, of him tearing through the limbs of screaming humans or swallowing them whole. Unperturbed by the bloody memories, she dives deeper into the giant's mind until she discovers some kind of blockage, where she immediately and easily prys it open.
The moment she does so she is suddenly bombarded by images where she soon learns everything that happened to the giant. It was previously a human - a farmer - who awakened some kind of curse where he turned into what people in this universe called a Titan and started eating people. She also saw his daily routine - of him tending to his farm and farm animals - prior to him turning into a Titan and can only feel pity for the man.
It wasn't his fault that he turned into a man-eating Titan, where he no longer has control over himself.
Harriet can understand that.
Feeling sympathetic towards the man's plight, Harriet is suddenly determined to help him, but first she has to learn what kind of universe she has landed herself into. And when she does so, she will have to help the Titan and all of his kind.

Harriet Potter hums to herself as she brews the concoction of her own making in the cauldron. She is currently inside her tent where she has spent most of her time studying and planning on how to save the many Titans infesting these lands.
It hasn't been a few days since her arrival and yet her savior complex has reared its ugly head and now she has made it her goal to revert the Titans back into their human forms. Harriet is determined to fix the Titan problem before the people within the Walls find out about her existence and her plans.
She can only hope that the people she saves will not be persecuted by the people within the Walls once they revert back into their human form.
She watches as the concoction within the cauldron starts glowing and she instantly knows that the potion is ready. Now, all she needs to do is to add a drop of her blood, where her powerful and magical blood can cancel the effects of the curse once ingested by the Titan.
As a Master of Death, she knows that it is now easy for her to create new potions or spells so long as she has strong intent to empower the spells or simply add a drop of blood in her potions to affect or negate something specifically. Like the Titan Curse Eliminating Potion, which is intended to lift the curse of the Titans.
As she thinks on her goal, she pricks her finger and allows a drop of blood into the boiling cauldron, where she watches the potion start glowing purple.
"So that's done," She says to herself as she scoops a ladle full of the potion and pours it over a bottle. "Now, it's time to test if the potion works."
She is confident that it will, considering she has more than a millennium of experience with potion-making, especially if it includes a drop of her blood.
After closing the lid of the bottle, Harriet then walks out of her tent and towards the area where she knows Titans are lazing nearby.
She locates Henry; the first Titan she meets in that universe. She approaches him and observes how the Titan warily regards her.
"Hello, Henry," she says to him as she nears the Titan. "Are you ready to turn back into a human?"
The Titan simply garbles incoherently and Harriet smiles indulgently right before she stuns him.
It can't be helped. She needs to incapacitate the Titan in order for her to administer the potion, especially when the Titan is still afraid of her. If he was conscious, for certain that the Titan will try to escape from her. Thus, the stunning spell.
Thereafter, Harriet pours the potion into the unconscious Titan's mouth and waits for the potion to take effect.
It doesn't take long for it to happen.
She watches as the Titan's body suddenly starts crackling with purple electricity right before it begins to sizzle.
Then, there is an explosion of smoke, where she instinctively has to erect a shield charm around herself.
The bellowing of smoke lasted for a minute. But as soon as the smoke clears, Harriet is not surprised to see the small figure lying down on the ground where the Titan used to be.
It looks like my potion works, Harriet thinks as she approaches the naked figure. Now, all I need to do is save the rest of them.
