Dis Lexics vault of Secrets
Ideas, plot bunnys that won't let go, possible future stories. feel free to pick up the stories if you like them.
And we're back with an idea inspired by DZ2s Other School challenge. I say inspired because I don't intend to follow the rules, but the idea came from it. It is a crossover with Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero, an awesome anime and light novel series that is criminally underrated in my opinion. I might turn this into a full story. Enjoy!
Potter of Babel
Harry James Potter lay back in his small room, staring up at the ceiling as the sounds of partying drifted up through the floor from the ballroom on the ground floor. Today it was the 31st of July, a public holiday and the birthday of Jason Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived. It also happened to be Harrys birthday, not that anyone remembered that little detail. Most people forgot he even existed and when they did all they did was belittle him as the so-called embarrassment of the Potters. You see, Harry Potter, older twin brother of the Boy-Who-Lived was a Squib.
Harry was broken from his musings by a knock on the door, before it opened slightly to reveal Remus Lupin, Harrys Godfather. These Remus was one of the few people to treat Harry like a person rather than a non-entity or an embarrassment.
"What are you doing up here?" muttered Harry, "Shouldn't you be downstairs kissing Jasons ass?"
"I came to wish you a happy birthday," said Remus with a sad smile, holding up a small cake with a candle stuck in it.
Harry scoffed and turned his head away. Remus sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed, placing the cake on the side.
"Look, I know exactly how you feel…" began the werewolf, only to be interrupted as Harry shot upright with a snarl.
"Do you? Do you know how I feel? Do you know what it feels like for your own family to treat you like your not even there, for people to sneer at you in the street? To be called a disappointment, unnecessary?"
"Yes," said Lupin, meeting Harrys furious gaze.
The eleven year old immediately wilted as he remembered who he was talking to.
"Sorry Remus," he whispered, "I shouldn't have said that."
Remus sighed and placed a hand on his Godsons shoulder.
"I know Harry," he said, "You're just frustrated. Everyone always praises Jason and makes allowances for his behavior, all the while saying that you'll amount to nothing just because you can't use magic."
"Well its true," muttered the teen, "I can't do anything. I'm just a Squib."
Remus frowned.
"Harry, just because you can't use magic, doesn't mean you're worthless. The majority of wizards may think that Muggles are worthless, but I know better. Muggles have managed things without magic that most magicals can't even imagine. You may not be able to become a great wizard, but I know you'll become a great man one day."
Harry smiled at the older male.
"Thanks Uncle Moony," he said, hugging his Godfather.
Remus smiled and hugged the boy back before getting to his feet.
"Well, as much as I'd rather stay here with you all night, I need to be getting back to celebrating with your brat of a brother. Happy birthday pup."
He ruffled Harrys hair and left the room. Harry smiled and glanced at the cupcake Remus had brought him. He picked it up and looked at the flickering candle stuck into the icing.
"I wish I could be away from here, somewhere I could become a hero," He thought as he blew out the candle.
Just then, the clock struck midnight and a brilliant rainbow light filled the room. When it faded, it left nothing but the cupcake slowly falling. Harry Potter was gone.
And there we go, the end of another entry to the Vault. Now, as previously mentioned, I will likely be continuing with this at some point in the near future, I just want to see how this does. If I do turn this into a story, I'll need OC ideas for Harrys classmates at Babel, but that can wait for now. As always, leave me a review and piece out!
