harry was up in a tree taking a nap. he'd established that he was the top predator in the forest. the spiders had long since left him alone. he was awoken by the crunching of leaves by heavy footsteps. he switched from water mode to plant mode for camoflauge. he aimed his arm cannon down at where the noise was coming from. only to pause. there was a man. a very large hairy man. walking along side him were two spiders. they were talking to him discussing something about someone named eragog.
he let them pass. they weren't causing him any trouble so he wouldn't cause them any harm. he'd spent around 4 years in the forest. he liked it here. lots of friendly snakes to talk to and so much magic to practice with. he'd figured out how to use magic in all his forms but his magic form had the strongest form of it.
he'd lost track of how many years it had been since he became what he is today. if he had to guess he was probably around eleven or twelve in terms of age. he felt older though.
Harry had laid back down using his water mode to keep himself steady on the branch. he'd only just closed his eyes when he felt something land on his knee. he opened one eye to see an owl with an envelope in its beak. harry didnt actually know what the bird was called most birds he saw ended up as lunch but this one approached him.
he held out his clawed hand and the owl dropped the envelope in it and flew away. he used one of his crab legs to slice it open and pulled out the letter. he looked it over for a moment before looking up. "why am i getting a letter from some magic school?" he asked himself. "good thing i taught myself how to read or else this would be going in the trash." by trash he meant incinerated by his fire form.
there was a loud crack not far from where he was and on reflex he sent a blast of water towards it.
the two people who had appeared had jumped out of the way in time but harry had other things on his mind. "damnit, dont you people know not to draw attention to yourselves in this forest?! you're lucky you got out of the way in time, i almost put a hole though one of you!" harry scolded. the two people were two older adults. one with a permanent stern look on her face and the other with a long beard and very bright colored pajamas. no, wait those were robes. just very bright and ugly.
by the look of the two they were magic users. the older man had a kind smile on his fade despite almost getting shot. the woman had a slightly rattled look on her face but still stern nonetheless.
"i apologized for that." said the old man. we are looking for a young lad named harry potter. i had a tracking spell placed on his hogworts letter. and the spell stopped here." the older woman narrowed her eyes at harry briefly before slightly elbowing the man. "albus, i believe we are speaking to mister potter right this moment." she said.
the man adjusted his glasses before recognizing the eye color of the creature before them. "my word." said the now named albus. "you may be right. those eyes are so much like lily's." harry raised an eyebrow. well, he would if he had any. "you knew my parents?" he asked. "that we did young harry." said albus. "what we didnt know is that your appearance has changed quite a bit. we did not expect you to look so..." albus went silent as he looked for the right word. "metallic? threatening? tall? armed? less armed then a regular human?" harry said the last one while gesturing to his arm cannon. that got a small chuckle from the old man. "yes to all." he said. "might i inquire as to what caused this?" albus asked. "i'd tell you but the one who turned me into this asked that i not share the details for the safety of our world." harry said. "i see." said albus. "i will not ask further. although id i had known you had taken up residence in the dark forest, i would have come to find you sooner." so thats what this forest was called. surprising that he got it right by accident.
"allow me to introduce myself." said albus. "i am ablus percival wulfric brian dumbledore. headmaster of hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry." harry smirked. "bit of a mouthful init?" he asked. "you should hear his full title." said the woman. "i am Minerva McGonagall. professer and deputy headmistriss of hogwarts." harry nodded to McGonagall. he fet addressing her by her first name would be inopropriate.
"well, you know who i am, but i am harry potter. elemental arm cannon wielding cyborg, top predator of the dark forest, and spider slayer." he said. "ah, so that was you." said dumbledore. haggrid and eragog have been wondering whats been causing all the acromantula deaths." harry folded his arms, or at least thats what it looked like. "hey, it was self defense. not my fault they wouldnt bugger off for the first few months." albus chuckled again.
"i wish to ask if you would like to attend hogwarts?" dumbledore said. "your parents attended and, as unfortunate as it is, the one who killed them is still alive and most likely will come after you again." harry frowned at that. he didnt have any plans to go to hogwarts but hearing that his parents had gone there had him wanting to honor them by going as well. but hearing that the scumbag that killed his parents was still around angered him. "let the bastard, come." harry said. "if he wants to kill me so bad then he'll have to come to hogwarts. ill be waiting with some surprises for him." harry's form switched to dark as his auto machine guns moved up and began firing up into the air. "i will honor the sacrifice my parents sacrifice learning at the same place they learned. and then, that murderer will know what a real wizard looks like before i fill him with holes." harry had a determined scowl on his face now. and while it slightly scared the two magic users, they knew it wasnt aimed it at them.
"then it is off to Diagon Ally." McGonagall said.
harry is finally going to hogwarts. what house will he be in? what will change in his adventures? you'll have to wait and see.
