The Two Pottersby VladimirChaptersPrologueChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4PrologueKey notes: "Normal Speaking" - 'Thoughts' - Spells - Magic Voice HGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG The children at the age of four- one tall and one short, run through the snow covered streets of London as fast as they can to get to school. Their names are, Griphyx and Harry Potter's. And they are being late to school thanks to their "family". They had apparently done something wrong and were to being punished by forcing the two to be late for burning their aunts precious "Dudykins' bacon". Not that the child needed anymore. Harry being the shorter of the two brothers was -for whatever reason- was tasked with cooking the family bacon while Griphyx was forced to deal with the laundry -again for whatever reason, it was beyond them- and both had screwed up considerably as the bacon and eggs -and somehow the toast- was burnt while the laundry overflowed with water and they distasteful soap that Petunia oh so loves to use. They were laid into by Vernon -their whale of a "uncle" with seven chins! SEVEN!- with Dudley's smelting stick from his academy, while the two were forced to stand their and take it like "good little freaks", as their aunt would say. Harry would simply become stoic and unresponsive, while Griphyx, he wasn't so lucky. He is generally the one who gets the beatings while Harry is forced to watch his little brother -only by an hour from what Petunia had spat out in their faces were they to ever figure it out- for him looking so much different, and to the Dursley's, terrifying. While Harry had black hair down to his shoulders, pale-ish skin and stunning emerald green eyes that seemed to welcome you into them, Griphyx, was the opposite. Very opposite. His skin was unhealthily pale the color of snow with a tint of grey to it, his hair looks like a fiery brown that spikes up in all manners of directions. His eyes were the most terrifying part of him, however, as they were a bright sky blue with sharp pupils that remind many others of a cat's eyes, however, the whites of his eyes are darker, and even change into dark green bordering black whenever his emotions would fluctuate for whatever reason. While Harry had a barely muscular figure, Griphyx was more feminine as well as being taller and lengthy while keeping his figure no matter how little he were to ever drink or eat, along with his no muscle look, and yet, he has more strength than Harry does, and a mean streak when angered beyond what should ever be done to anyone. The two were twins, though you wouldn't be able to figure that out by the first glance. Once you set aside their obvious differences, they are pure twins, same body type -even thought Griphyx is taller by an inch-. The two move as fast as they can to try and even get to their school which is quite a few miles away. Damn those people, is all the two could even think as they continued to speed across the icy, snow covered sidewalk. The then bump into a tall man wearing a large brown and black coat, brown and green pants sewn together. His eyes are yellow, red, and the pupil being bright white. His hair on the right side is black while the left is grey, and on his chin is a white goatee. Around him are three women that look similar to each other, except that one has sun blonde hair, the second has midnight purple hair, and the third has raven colored hair. All three women's hair comes down to their mid-backs while all wearing similar dresses but are the same color as their hair with the picture of a sun, a blue crescent moon surrounded by midnight purple clouds, and a ash white crescent moon surrounded by matte black clouds. "Sorry sir!" Harry mutters out before grabbing his brothers hand and keeps running. DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Discord had been walking around with his wives, Celestia Order, Nightmare Moon Order, and Luna Order. He had been having a nice calm conversation about what they should do to occupy their time since they had left Equestria. However, that conversation was cut short when two small -though one was a few inches taller than the other- children who were sprinting. "Sorry sir." The short boy muttered out with unmistakable fear in his eyes, before grabbing his companions hand and bolting as fast as they could. So fast, that, Discord could feel a small gust of wind slam into him and even make him take a have and inch step back. He stared at their retreating forms, not in anger, not in question. But studied them. And his blood boiled over the edge. Not from that manner of running, or the looks of fear in those boys faces. No, because he manage to catch a glimpse of their arms, legs and neck just underneath their clothing when they fell. The bruises on the smaller child, while their were scars on the taller. So many scars. He growled in rage, before becoming shocked. He felt a presence that these humans should not be capable of possessing. Magic. But a more feral magic. The two of them seemed to be brothers from how powerful the magical bonds between the two brothers was. It made him sick and overly pissed off to see to young children in such physical conditions -let alone how starved they looked-. He looked to his wives, and they equally looked royally pissed off. Must have seen the boys conditions, just as he had. "Shall I trace their magical signatures, my Princesses?" He asks with a calm, yet taunting tone of voice. Celestia nods her head, making her perfect golden hair toss around. Discord waves his right hand over where the boys had fallen, and two magical lines form. He looks back at his wives who nod their heads. The four of them flickered with the sound of fingers snapping, and the air to shudder. HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG School had ended for the Potter brothers, and it was another part of their living hell. The had no one but each other thanks to Dudley who had been scaring all of the other children away from Harry, while they would completely ignore Griphyx, who would constantly be in trouble for their teachers simple mindedness. Harry marches along with Griphyx who is whimpering softly and trying to be quiet, just as Vernon had "taught" him. Harry looks over and watches his little -yet tall- brother hug himself in absolute fear. Griphyx had gotten a note or "referral" from their bitch of a teacher, Ms. Crabgrass -both thought her name was stupid-. Harry took the liberty of reading the note, and he froze. The bitch was lying, she knew how cruel the Dursley's were to the brothers, especially now since the winter break was just starting! The second Griphyx read the note, he had gone into a panic and lost all sense of his mind as he sprinted off towards their hiding place where they knew they couldn't be found. Harry chases after his brother. He keeps pace as best he can with is a few feet behind as he sprints towards the woods just behind Surrey where Privet Drive was located. The two keep running until they get deep into the forest panting. Harry looks at Griphyx and raises a brow. "Why are you freaking out?" He asks softly. Griphyx whimpers and trembles uncontrollably. Harry gives his brother a sad look before wrapping his arms around his brothers shoulders and bringing him in close so he can cry in his chest. Griphyx clings to Harry and shudders as sobs rack his body. Harry feels his chest becoming increasingly wet before sighing softly and sadly before he rubs his brother head soothingly. Griphyx sobs harder, but freezes up as a hand gently rubs circles in his back. Griphyx turns his head slightly and see's one of the woman from before that was with that strange man. Her hair is different. No, wait. It's actually changing colors, ranging from sun gold, to the borealis lights he had read about in school. "Are you okay, dear child?" The woman asks. Griphyx nods his head lightly before she gives him a soft smile. Her eyes are magenta colored that glow as bright as the sun. Her skin is tanned but still light in color. She easily makes Griphyx look like a child, as she appears to look like a giant -from the two's point of view- and she smells of lavender. "Why are you two out here, all alone? Is something the matter?" She asks. The genuine concern in her voice makes Griphyx release from Harry, and latch onto her instead. Harry freezes, fearing that she'll treat him like many of the adults that have followed the lies that those beasts had spewed out, about how he was a true freak of nature, a monster. But he isn't. Different, yes, but most certainly not a monster, nor a freak. "Shhh..." The woman says softly into Griphyx ear as she lets him sob into her rather chest. Harry blushes and shakes his head clear of such thoughts. Where had they even came from? He files them away before looking back behind him, and he see's the others three standing there, patiently, quietly. "Everything is alright now, child." He hears the woman say softly. Griphyx looks up at the woman, and she gasps as the whites of his eyes are pitch block and his golden orbs are shaky as more tears threaten to break from their dams before she wipes his eyes gently with a thumb. He finches slightly at her touch. Her eyes become hard as she catches a glimpse of a bruise on he crook of his neck. She rises to her feet and pulls him up as well. Discord looks at his wife Celestia with a raised brow, before he shivers from her hard look. "I see..." He mumbles out softly. Harry looks at the man curiously. Discord gives the boys a smile. "You two look hungry, would you like to get something to eat?" He asks. Griphyx and Harry's stomachs roar in acceptance, making the two boys wince and give out whimpers of pain. Discord picks Harry up in his arms gently, as to not freak the poor boy out. "I'll take that as a yes." He says. Harry eyes Discord warily. 'Why does he help us? Is he new or something?' Harry wonders. Discord smiles softly before Griphyx and Harry are shocked at how they just appeared in what looks to be a entrance to a large home. Griphyx looks around with wide eyes. Celestia giggles and rubs Griphyx back gently. "Big, isn't it?" She asks. Griphyx nods his head softly. "It looks amazing." He says in awe before whimpering and shuddering as hunger rips through him. His pupils dilate as he moves into Celestia's form, gripping her tightly. She gains a sad look and makes soft circles on his back in hopes of calming him down. Griphyx slowly begins to calm down before they are led towards what looks to be a dining room. A large brown wooden table that looks to be a meter -possibly two- with rows of chairs on either side of them. Harry notices the colors of the rooms being bright red and orange. The carpet is dark ruby red and plush enough to fall asleep on. He even tests his theories as he allows himself to plummet down to earth and face plant onto the soft carpet. Discord begins to panic but said panic soon subsides and he sighs in relief as Harry rolls around on the incredibly soft carpet from heaven. "Are you enjoying the carpet..." "Fr- Er, Harry" Discord looks to Griphyx. "And you?" He asks. "Mon-" He shakes his head, tears fly though the air before looking at Discord. "Griphyx, sir." He says with a soft voice that sounds as if he had been screaming out for some strange reason. Discord nods his head. "I am Discord Order. And these are my wives, Celestia Order," he motions to the woman holding Griphyx, "Luna Order," motioning to the woman next to Harry, "and Nightmare Moon Order." He says while wrapping an arm around Nightmare's waist and keeping her by his side gently. "It is nice to finally meet you two, but I believe it is time to eat? Nightmare dear, did you get the food prepared?" Discord asks. The boys watch as Nightmare nods her head and motions to the plates and cups full of food and drink that were most certainly not there before. Harry stares in shock before looking at the adults in the room. "When did this happen?" He asks. Discord and Nightmare share a look before nodding. "When you were on the floor and Griphyx in Celestia's arms, Luna and Nightmare each brought the things out and laid them onto the table." Discord explains. Harry nods his head lightly before moving and sitting down in one of the chairs while Griphyx sits next to him as close as he can. "Thank you." Griphyx says softly. Discord gives them soft smiles as do Nightmare, Luna and Celestia who sits across from the brother. "No problem what so ever. Now, please, enjoy yourselves." Discord says. The brothers nod their heads and begin eating the strange looking dishes that have very little meat -if at all- and they are surprised that there is none of the disgusting grease or fat at all with any of the food. "This is wonderful, thank you." Harry compliments softly. Nightmare smiles tenderly at him. "Thanks for the compliments." She says with the bow of her head. She then realizes that Griphyx is hardly touching the food. "Is something wrong?" She asks with a concerned tone. Griphyx's head snaps up, before gaining a sad look. "I'm sorry, but, I can't even eat most of the stuff on my plate..." He whimpers out, fearing that they will lash out at him. He grows surprised when Nightmare gives a mothering smile and pats his hand gently. "That's fine, sweetie. Just eat as much as you can, okay?" She asks. He gives her a soft smile and nods his head before going back to his steamed vegetables. The meal passes on in silence, though Griphyx feels terrible as he had managed to eat more than half of his plate before getting full. He watches his brothers and the nice man and ladies eat their fill. Discord looks to Griphyx and Harry before giving them a fatherly smile. "Why don't you two head into the other room play?" He says. Harry's eyes light up before rushing off with Griphyx in tow. It was a strange sight for the brothers as their were all manners of toys, eve those "video games" that Dudley plays so often. Harry moves towards the items in curiosity, rather than knowing what they are. Griphyx, on the other hand, stays in the doorway, not sure of what it is he's supposed to do. Celestia notices this and watches as Griphyx looks around nervously, as if fearing of some sort of attack just bound to happen. But why would a child ever get attacked in the first place? That is the true question. "Is something wrong?" Celestia asks. She watches as Griphyx spins around and stares at her with wide eyes, before gaining an ashamed look and looking away as if he were trash on the bottoms of her feet. "I... I don't know what I'm supposed to do..." He mumbles out just loud enough for her to hear. Celestia nods her head, almost knowingly, and places a hand onto Griphyx' shoulder gently. "Would you like me to play with you?" She says while giving him a motherly smile. Griphyx nods his head and he holds her hand, not that she minded, and was led over to Harry who is poking a grey square with a thin, yet tall, grey rectangle coming out of it. Cords come from the front of the square and three strange controllers that have three grips to them sit on the floor. "This is what is known as a Nintendo." Celestia says softly. Griphyx grows confused and looks at his hands than grabbing Celestia's hands before looking at the three handled controller. "How do you hold it?" He asks. Harry taps his shoulder and shows that it can be held in two ways: left and right, middle and right. "Oh..." He mumbles out before sitting down and picking one of the controllers up, albeit tentatively so, and holds it in his hands. Celestia smiles down at the two, and goes to join them but is stopped when she see's Discord in the doorway. He jerks his head to the left before walking off. "I'll be back in just a little bit, why don't you play some of the games while I am away, okay?" Celestia asks. Harry nods his head, while Griphyx gains a worried look, but that soon flees from his face when the hum of the 8-bit music awakens. The two brothers decide to "investigate" the game. She giggles softly to herself before rising to her feet, and leaving the room. DCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNL Celestia moves towards the table and once again sits in her chair, but something unexpected happens. The chairs that she, Nightmare, Luna and Discord sit in morph into thrones as they lean back and rest in the chairs. Celestia's is that of a white marble throne, Luna's is a dark obsidian throne, Nightmares is a moon rock throne charmed to be indestructible -much like the other thrones- and finally Discord's throne is wooden with antlers on the top and very well cushioned. Discord looks around the table with a serious expression and says, "So, you all know why I am holding this little meeting, no?" He asks. "Because of those little angels." Nightmare says with a small smile. "It has not gone unnoticed that Harry seems to be the more....leader of the two. Griphyx, however, seems to be terrified of just about anything." Nightmare says. Celestia sighs softly before speaking, "It is heartbreaking to see him break down into tears, let alone how he looked at me as if I were to vanish in thin air when I was asked to come here. Thankfully, Harry started that gaming device that humans love so much. If he hadn't, I feel as if he would have tried to follow me." She explains with a soft and sad voice. "I see." Discord mutters out. He narrows his eyes into the table as if trying to figure something out, before his head snaps upward when Luna slams her left fist down onto the table, splintering it as well as taking a chunk off. "Did no one else notice how abused those two are!?" She roars out. "Let alone how starved! Harry, he was able to eat two and a half plates of food, while Griphyx had trouble eating just a little over half!" She seethes in anger. Discord nods his head solemnly. "Very true, but, what do you suggest we do about it?" He asks. Luna looks at Discord incredulously. "We bring them into our home and make them part of the family!!" She exclaims. Discord gives her the "no shit" look. "I know, but we need to get them away from wherever they are now, so that they can be safe. It shouldn't be too hard though, all we'd need to do is simply trace their magical signatures to where their tormentors lie." He explains. Luna growls in more anger as a massive pressure weighs down in the room. "Then we go there, and rip them a new one!!" She screams in fury. Discord pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs while shaking his head. "We are not going to kill humans, no matter how badly it would satisfy us and our need to protect the two of them!" He cries out. Celestia nods her head lightly. "I must agree with Discord, but, if we can get them away from their....family, then we can bring them up with us, perhaps even make them part of the family by blood and magic?" She asks softly. Looking around the table, she notes the nodding of heads and smiles softly. "Then let us go and do so, now." And with that, they leave the dining room in silence. Celestia goes back into the "toy room" and grows surprised to see Griphyx holding a plush doll of a pearl white Alicorn, and a strangle looking Draconequus, while Harry holds a blue Alicorn and a white stag. She smiles softly seeing a black Alicorn between the two with it's hooves touching their shoulders gently. 'How cute, though why a stag? Oh well, perhaps it will be explained in time...' Celestia thinks to herself with a shrug as she pulls a large brown blanket and lays it across the two boys. Celestia smiles softly and motherly when Griphyx mumbles out a "thank you nice lady" before drifting back to sleep. She leaves the room softly as well as snapping her fingers, making the lights to turn out and the television and making the strange Nintendo device turn into a large black square with a "X" on the top. She giggles ad then leaves the large mansion. She stands before Discord and her sisters before nodding and they vanish in a flash of light. DCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNL The small group appears before a red bricked house with a number "4" on the door. Discord looks between his wives nd they share a head nod before turning back and knocking on the door a few times. A moment passes before a dying horse of a woman opens it up and gazes at the four towering adults before her. "What is it?" she snaps out. Discord clears his throat. "My...wife and her sisters and I would like to have a discussion, if you would be so kind madam?" He asks while silently and sneakily sending out a magical pulse sending a bit of minor-mind control on the horrendous woman. "Sure...come in then." She hisses out and steps to the side. "Thank you." Discord says with a smile, flashing his fangs to the woman, making her pale as if the devil himself was walking into her home. The small group is led into a small living room where they meet a pig of a boy with five chin rolls, and a whale-walrus hybrid of a man with somehow seven chin rolls. 'Disgusting...' Luna thinks to herself. "Who are you people!?" The fat man roars out. Dudley sneers at them, but soon screams in terror when Nightmare gives a smile, her massive fangs glinting in the light while the room seems to darken. "I am...Nim Order. This is my husband Discord Order, and my sister, Tia Solaris and my other sister Luna Solaris." Nightmare says as her pupils seem to thin into slits. Vernon pales before growling and goes to stand, but is pushed down and chokes as the air becomes heavy as Luna releases very little of her magical power. When Discord raises a hand, Luna rings in her power, but continues to glare death at the panting Dursleys. "We are hear to discuss two children, and- " Nightmare is cut off. "Take those wretched things! That freak and monster should never have been born anyways!!" Petunia screeches out. Discord sends a beyond-death-glare at the bitch of a woman. "We thank you for freeing them to us. But before we go, why not explain why they are....a "freak" and "monster"?" He asks. Vernon speaks this time. "No! Now get out of my house!!" He bellows out. Discord nods his head and leaves with the others behind him. But as the girls step out, Discord looks back at the Dursleys, who seem to pale when his eyes become their natural color. The whites become sickly yellow, the dark red become bright blood red and his pupils turn white. "Farewell, Vernon Dursley, have fun at you....work." He says with a mocking and condescending sneer before the door slams shut on it's own, and as the four walk away, the screams of terror greet their ears. "Do we have them as our children now, love?" Luna asks. Discord nods his head before lifting a piece of paper with Vernon's and Petunia's signatures on it. "Indeed, they have signed the contract, not that it would have mattered, as we could simply will adoption papers and tamper with these humans' minds." He says with a slight growl. Luna nods her head before the four of them flicker out of existence, or so it seems from an old woman's perspective, who had been watching from across the street the whole time. DCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNL The group appears before their mansion like home in the richer neighborhood, and head into their home. To their surprise, they see Harry sitting at the entrance table, waiting for them. "What are you ding awake?" Discord asks gently. "I wanted to wait and see what was going to happen to me and my brother." He says softly. Discord gives the boy a smirk before showing him the paper. Harry's eyes go wide as saucers before pouncing onto Discord and clings to him tightly. "THANK YOU!!" Harry cries out to the four of them. Discord chuckles mirthfully, "Not a problem, son." He says. Harry beams at them, before a thumping sound reaches their ears. His eyes go wide with horror and rushes back towards Griphyx. Before Discord could even blink, Celestia was quickly following after their son. Discord, Luna and Nightmare share a nod, before following after them. When Celestia reaches the "toy room", she see's Griphyx huddled in the corner, frantically looking around. However, when he spots Celestia, he seems to teleport into her arms and cling to her so tightly, she winces slightly. She feels her chest get wet as Griphyx sobs, hard. The others arrive and notices that Griphyx is being held by Celestia, while Harry gives a sad smile to them. Luna walks over to him, and pulls the boy close to her body. He wraps his small arms around her, before she picks him up with ease. "Ssshhh..." Celestia says softly, "it's okay, mama's hear for you. It's alright." She coos. Griphyx starts to calm down. Moments pass by before he lifts his head to look up at her with his puffy eyes. He sniffs. "M....Mama?" He asks as if it were a foreign word. Celestia nods her head softly, and rocks him back and forth gently. Nightmare goes over to Harry and hugs her sister, as well as Harry, while Discord hugs Celestia and Griphyx. The two brothers share a look, and then smile at their three mothers and one father. "Griphyx Umbra Potter-Order." Griphyx hears. He looks up at Nightmare who smiles down at him. "Do you like it?" She asks. Griphyx nods his head lightly, before hearing her ask Harry if he likes "Harry Lux Potter-Order", which got a nod of liking in return. Smiles are shared all around, before the two brothers are brought back to dining room, where it is already six o'clock in the evening. They are set down into different chairs, before Discord waves his hand, and dishes suddenly appear. Harry and Griphyx stare at him in shock and awe. "How..?" Harry asks. Discord smirks. "Magic." He then snorts twice, and dinner begins. DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD An old man with a long white beard sits at a desk with multiple moving pictures of other men and woman, even children, all smiling and conversing to each other. He sits back and looks over many things, but he starts to feel as if he has forgotten something as he holds a silver colored glass ball. He shrugs lightly and knows that he will remember again within time. Unaware that his "weapons" have been claimed by forces he could never imagine in all of his years of life. HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG The boys get ready for bed, but are stopped by Celestia, who hands them small boxes. "Here. these are for you two, my angels." She says softly and motherly. Harry opens his box, and comes to find a necklace that resembles golden crown with a moon with a smaller sun in the middle, before a black spiraling shape sits there in the very center. The chain is white in color, yet harder than obsidian. He pulls it down over his head and smiles up at his first mother. "Thank you." He says as they share a hug. Griphyx opens his box, and comes to find a silver crown connected by a pitch black chain. Inside the crown is a sun surrounded by two crescent moons, and in the very center, a white spiraling shape. He smiles softly and pulls it over his head as well, before hugging his mother goodnight. The two brothers then proceed to drift off to sleep, unaware of what will happen in the coming days. Chapter 1KEY: "Normal Speak" 'Thoughts' Spells Magic Speak THE TWO POTTERS CHAPTER ONE GHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG Harry and Griphyx awoke from their night of restful sleep -for once- and look around their shared room. They take in the color of the walls which were blue with green waves on Harry's side with lightning just over them as well. While on Griphyx's side, there were flames that rose from the floor to the center of the wall being parallel to the waves, while snow, rain and hail move down towards the flames parallel to the lightning. Harry notes that on his side of the room, just between the waves and lightning, there is a strange looking unicorn with large wings that stand at attention, and next to that looks like a buck from those pictures he had seen in books at the library. The stag was snowy white with grey spots on the fur being elongated into ovals. The antlers' are massive like giant tree trunks black as night, with golden and silver orbs sitting on each of the tips. While the pegacorn(or would it be unisus?) that is pitch black with whit flakes that look incredibly sharp. The wings are snowy white where the tips of the feathers look to be emerald green, much like it's shocking eyes that match his own and the buck's own pair. The tail and mane of the creature is shaped like waves with lightning streaks flowing through them. Griphyx notes that between the snow, rain hail, and flames are three large animals he could never imagined. One looked like a massive snake bluish green with dazzling blue eyes. The second creature looked like a dragon, and yet, looks like a Wyvern. It eclipses the snake being twice it's size, it's forelegs/wings being different. The left being feathered, and the right is leathery, but both are scaly. A singular horn forms on it's forehead slightly curving up and pointing forward. The left hind leg looks like a toads, while the right looks much like a gecko's. The tail being massively long, yet, at the tip it splits apart to form a tentacle like "claw" with arrowhead tips curving inward. It's eyes are electric blue that shine with strange inner fire much like his own. The third creature looks like a large white and black griffin with fiery red wings and bird like tail. It's eyes are similar to his own as well. He looks on at the three creatures in awe, and for some reason feels comfortable by it all as well. He smiles slightly, but that soon leaves his face when the door opens up randomly and widely. The two boys whip their heads towards the open doorway and see their father, Discord, standing there with a smirk gracing his lips. "I see you two are enjoying the walls, no?" He asks. Harry nods his head, and Griphyx stares at him wearily before he spots Celestia walk in next to his new father. His eyes light up, but soon feels a pressure weigh down on him and Harry. The two bend their knees and grunt before they become used to the massive pressure. Discord stares in surprise as his new sons grow accustomed to his natural magical energy output, he then gives them wide grin and crosses the room as if he were gliding. The pressure starts to fizzle away from the two, and Harry looks up at his father while Griphyx moves behind Harry as if using his older sibling as a shield. Discord stops before them. "May I know what my son's ages are?" He asks. "We're both six years old." Harry answers. "I am an hour earlier than him, even if with the height difference." He explains. Discord nods his head slightly, before placing his hands atop their heads gently. "Well, seems I have to makeup for six missed birthdays, but, before we do, perhaps I should ask you two a question?" He asks. Harry inclines his head to his father. "Would you like me to...make you part of our family by blood? To make you both part of the family in a much deeper sense?" Discord asks. Harry tilts his head to the side, before nodding his head, much to Griphyx's surprise, and looks up at his massively tall father. "Good, but, first I must warn you both of something. We are not human, and most certainly not mortals. We are known as Equestrian's, but we'll get into that later. Are you still sure you wish to do this, my children?" He asks. Harry nods, while Griphyx actually looks completely happy with this decision. Discord gives a wide toothy grin before both their visions become nothing but blackness before they feel nothing. DCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNL Discord catches his son's and they vanish before appearing in a strange room with two tables with small pillows placed for heads to lay on. He places his son's onto the tables, before turning and see's Celestia, Luna and Nightmare enter the room wearing doctor's clothing and lab coats. They stand in a triangle formation around the three of them, before nodding. Discord moves between the two boys and raises his hands over each of them, and then strange rainbow energy flowed down over the two boys, seeping into every pore, every cell, every molecule. There were noticeable changes, such as blocks in Harry's and Griphyx's magic, minds, and many other things were shattered. Each sent out pulses of magic that pressed down on the four adults, but they stood strong. Soon, Celestia's hands had a golden glow around them, and her energy flowed into the boys. Then, Luna's cerulean colored energy flowed into them, and then finally Nightmare's midnight blue colored energy flowed into them as well. The second noticeable change was that Harry's hair seemed to brighten into a dark shade of purple, while Griphyx's became longer and turning dark green bordering black. Harry grew just as tall as Griphyx was, as they both grew to reach Luna's waistline, who reaches up to 6' tall. Heavy duty leather straps form and lay themselves along the two boys, as they thrash about from the mixture of energies that cause them more changes, yet, they stay looking the same as before, with those other minor differences. Soon, all goes quiet. The two stop thrashing and become still. A full minute passes before their chests rise and fall slowly. Griphyx's hands curl up and leave claw like markings on the steel table. His eyes flutter open, to reveal haunting icy blue eyes that shine with a strange inner fire that makes them glow, while his sharp pupils become sharper. Hips lips part to reveal sharpened teeth an he gasps for breath. Harry's eyes snap open and reveal glowing emerald green eyes with slightly sharp pupils. His lips part as well as he takes in a breath of fresh air, before coughing, and sitting up, snapping the leather straps. His ears start to ring as they are now slightly pointed, while Griphyx's are pointed like an elves from those odd fairy tales. Harry rubs his eyes and looks at Discord, "Fa..ther?" He mumbles out as his voice is raspy and weak. Discord runs Harry's head gently, his thumb tracing the scar as he then pulls out a mass of black from it, making Harry cry out in pain. The pain subsides, and he stares at a black cloud roaring for release. "So this is what was holding you back and stunting your growth. Hm, crude." He says with a serious tone that makes the three woman shiver from a past fear. "I shall enjoy sending this....thing to Tartarus." Discord growls out. He then crushes the black cloud, which releases a scream of pure pain before it sizzles out of existence. "Much better, no?" He asks Harry, who nods his head dumbly. Griphyx groans as he lifts his left arm and snaps the first an second straps off, flinging them across the room. He lifts his legs and sends the rest of the straps off, also flinging across the room. Discord stares in shock at how easily his young son was capable to do something like it was a common thing. He moves and slowly slides off the table, and lands on his feet, making the floor make an "erking" sound from his weight being pressed down atop of it. He shakes his head and rubs his eyes, clearing his mind an sight. His black hair gains some blue markings to it before they fade away to nothingness. Harry, Discord, Celestia, Nightmare and Luna watch in silence and awe as Griphyx takes a few staggering steps forward, making the floor around his feet jolt softly, before the jolting stops and he stands at his full new height. His eyes scan the room, and soon land on his family, but they look...different. His father, Discord, looks like some sort of humanoid dragon with mixed-up parts, his mothers look like humanoid winged-unicorns, Alicorn's, for some odd reason that pops into his mind. And then his brother, he looks the same as always, an yet, he holds a silver and golden aura around his form, as if saying he is pure. Pure of what? He does not know. He looks down at his hands, and notices that his once white nibbled down nails, are now semi-long and sharp pitch black nails. His skin seems to be tanner, darker than before. A mirror forms on the wall behind him. How did he know? Why could he feel the room through the air around him? So many confusing happenings are going on, and it feels odd. Griphyx turns and looks into the mirror. How once spiky and tom-boyish red hair is now replaced by long below shoulder length dark green bordering black hair. His once normal blue eyes are now terrifying electric icy blue orbs with animalistic sharpened pupils bordering into slits. The whites of his eyes are darker, no longer bordering dark green, but a greyish color that sends shivers down his spine. His squared teeth are now sharped like fangs, like a monsters. His tongue looks bluish, while still retaining it's natural red coloring it had always had. His lips were paler than before as they are greyish like the whites of his eyes. Yet, for some reason he enjoys how he looks. He loves how much stronger and fuller he looks and feels. When looking down at his bare feet, his see's his toe-nails are similar to his finger-nails. Elongated, sharp, and pitch black. He moves his "claws" to his bare forearm, and presses the sharpened nails against the skin. His skin has become harder, even rougher like plates of armor sit just atop the actual flesh of his body. A mystic energy roars in his chest, and he grows curious. What is it? Why is it there? Is he even human anymore? He feels the energy pulse a sort of wave, and on instinct he harnesses it, pushing it into his hands where his "claws" gain a blue tint to them. The nails grow longer, but are glowing bright blue and pulsate with that same strange energy. A smile creeps onto his face when on instinct wills the "energy claws" to retract into his body. A sudden tap on the shoulder makes him yelp in surprise, before whirling around and gazing up at his mother Celestia, who gives him a loving motherly smile. "Having fun?" She asks. Griphyx nods his head up and down, earning him one of her melodious laughs that rings bells in his ears and mind. He smiles up at her, before Harry clears his throat, causing the two to look at him and the other three standing with him, all smiling. "Now then, seeing as to how both of you are now ours by blood, flesh and magic, now we can speak to you two about what we are, and where we came from. But please, keep an "open mind", not that they aren't already opened enough from what had just happened, or what you both had just witnessed." Father Discord says with a chuckle. Harry snorts out his own laughter, while Griphyx stays quiet, but a smirk graces his lips. Discord's expression soon becomes very serious and he sits down onto a chair that forms from nothing at the wave of his hand in the most nonchalant manner anyone could accomplish. "As I told you two, we are known as "Equestrian's, but, what he had not told you was that we are not mortal, because we are..."deities" in that Universe. I am known of what is called a "Draconequus", a creature that is a combination of all things. Think of them as a living Noah's ark, even to the things that don't exist, because they exist in a different universe. "What's more, is that they are known as "Spirit's of Chaos and Disharmony", however, that is not always the case. There are many races of the "Draconequi", and they can look like anything. I, am Discord; God of Chaos Magic and Chaos itself. So, I am everywhere, and nowhere, and yet I am here, being your father. Funny, isn't it?" He asks after his long winded rant. Harry and Griphyx stare in shock that their father is a "god". Celestia clears her throat, "I am Celestia, Princess of Equestria, Goddess of the Light, Day, and the Sun. I am known as an Alicorn, combinations of the three pony races; Earth Ponies, Pegasus Ponies, and Unicorn Ponies. Alicorn's hold the power over the earth, magic -mainly light magic-, and the weather. Our race is the second to be created alongside the Draconequus, and just as powerful, even if we don't have a "title" to our name. "My sisters are Nightmare Moon, she used to be an "evil Alicorn", but she merely wished for her moon to be gazed by may of the worlds inhabitants. She is the Goddess of the Night, Dreams, and Dark(Black) Magic. My other sister, Luna, is known as; Princess Luna, Goddess of the Moon, Between(between black and light magic), and animals of the night. We three are seen as the Goddesses that had combatted against your father, Discord, when he was consumed by evil magic. Contrary to many popular belief, Black Magic is not evil. Shadow Magic, and Soul Magic along with Necromancy is all categorized as "Evil Magic". "Anyways, once he was cured and had became friends with one of my adoptive daughters friends. The curse was broken, and he regained his sense and realized that what he was doing, was terrible. Then, he aided us against the Centaur known as; Tirek. He was bent on taking over the world, and he had been consumed in wanting to gain more friends, and our hearts. Unbeknownst to him, he already had our hearts, but we had no idea how to approach him back then. But, anyways, my daughter, your sister, gained our magic and fought Tirek, but soon lost it all and gained the pure power of the Element Tree. She and her friends defeated Tirek an casted him down to Tartarus after taking all the magic he ever took, and returned it back to their owners. "Soon after, her and her friends experienced may more adventures, but that is for a different time, and story." Celestia says with a smile after finishing her long winded speech. The two boys stared in shock and awe, their parents were "gods", and they had a "half sister" back in that world. Harry leans back into Luna and look up at her, and she smiles down at him. "How old are all of you?" Griphyx asks. Discord beams that his son's aren't too shocked that they could not function. "I am order 10,000 years old, the three of them re triplets and are each 6,000 years of age. But that is for OUR normal time, in your time, thousands are millions of years. So it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out." He says with a wink. Harry stares before he just starts laughing, and then passes out. Griphyx had a much stranger approach. He simply stood up, walked over to his mothers, and hugged them tightly. The four of them were surprised, but welcomed the act. "What are we to you?" He asks. Celestia tilts her head. "Hm?" She hums out. "What are we? Mortal? Or God?" He asks. She smiles softly. "Neither, you are in-between, a mix, a half-breed. You no can no longer die of old age, unless you choose to, and your children will be the same. But you WILL age slowly, but will then stop aging at a certain point, but that will not be for a VERY long time. While you may look younger, you will mature quickly. Just because you may look, say, twenty-two, you will still be young in our eyes. IF and WHEN you have children at, say, twenty or older, you will be seen as still young, but you yourself have young ones. It was common for our races to have children at "young" ages, and still be babied. But since you were both mostly human to begin with, well, you will be following with universes laws, not ours. Understand? And before you even ask, the only reason we don't look our age, is because we are not from his universe." Celestia explains. Griphyx nods his head, and goes to say something but a yawn escapes his lips. Nightmare grins. "Seems our young Griphyx is tired. Perhaps now is the time for a nap?" She chuckles out. Griphyx nods his head, and climbs back onto his table, and lays his head down. The second his head touches the pillow, he is out like a light, feeling nothing but happiness. HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG When Griphyx awoke the next day he notes that his side of the wall had changed. Gone were the flames, and now stands land with a beach bordering the ocean where that Wyvern is standing in, the snake in the forest with arms and legs, and a horned crown. Above those, are large black storm raging clouds with rain, hail, snow and now lightning raining down upon the land and sea. Just below the clouds is that Griffin from before, but it looks different. The fur looked to be armor pieces that match together like a puzzle, each piece being sky blue and pearl white. The wings are bat-like with golden lines pulsating through them like veins. The tail is whip-like in nature, but a claw sits at the tip. The neck is elongated like a serpents, the beak is sharp, with "teeth" pointing downwards. The paws on the hind legs are auburn red, while the claws are orange-ish gold. It's eyes are the same as his own. The next thing he notes is that he is back in his bed in the room his brother and him share. His bed large enough to fit six more of himself on it and still have plenty of room to spare. He chalks it up to his parents moving him and Harry back in here so they could sleep much more comfortable. Looking around the room, he starts to realize that there were many other changes than from before. The ceiling is covered in a large marble white castle that is part of a mountain looking over a majestic land. It reminds him of Rivendell from the Lord of the Rings trilogy But above the shining castle, were multiple items that shine with mysterious light. One was a blue balloon, the second was a orange apple, the third is a cerulean diamond, the fourth was a pink and yellow butterfly, the fifth was a blood red lightning bolt, and the sixth is a six pointed purple star. Around those is a emerald green flame, and in the middle of it all is a oval egg white stone with the rainbow shinning from the inside out. His head tilts to the side, but then jumps when the door opens, revealing their mother Nightmare. "Hey," She starts softly and with a smile, "how are you both doing?" She asks. Griphyx looks over to see Harry is still asleep, and turns back to his mother. "I'm fine, but Har is- EEKK!" Out of nowhere, Harry sits up like a Vampire and his eyes snap open, making Griphyx squeak loudly and fall off his bed. Harry chuckles, and his emerald green eyes now have a ruby red tint. "Got'cha!" He laughs out. Griphyx grumbles and looks away from his older brother, and at his wall. The waves are replaced by flames and land with a vast lush green forest with that buck standing tall just above some of the smaller tree's the size of two story houses. The flames hold a strange looking bird with red and orange feathers that looks to be flame solidified. The skies are covered wit grey storm clouds with that Alicorn in the air, wings spread wide, energy lightning cracking and rolling across the air, crashing into things like waves. He hears Nightmare clear her throat, and he looks to her, to find that Harry is next to her with a grin on is face. Griphyx huffs and rises to his feet, before looking back at his mother and bother. "You two will begin training to control your magic, strength, mind, and forms very soon. Since it is the winder break, we have a limited amount of time. Get dressed, and meet me, your mothers and father in the backyard in one hour." And with that, she leaves the room just as quickly as she had came. Harry moves over to his dresser and pulls out black pants, grey shirt, and a white black hoodie with angel wings on the back. After he pulls those on, he moves over to his closet and pulls on simple sneakers that move up just above his ankle. Griphyx inwardly chuckles at how right it looks on him. He moves to his dresser and pulls out white pants, black shirt and grey hoodie with blue spines on the back. Sipping those on, he pulls on mid shin high boots brown as bark, yet hard as steel. A pair of gun-grey fingerless gloves pulled over his hands, the back having odd golden light like buttons or simple lights. The two brothers move around the mansion like castle, before finally finding the backyard, more like forest. Lush green trees of all kinds stand hundreds of feet tall around the mansion like castle, and form a woodland jungle for the backyard. Griphyx recognizes it as the same forest on his and his brothers walls. He grin when he see's his father holding a long and thin stick the same size as him, a staff perhaps? At the top of the black wooden staff is a clear crystal in the shape of a sword. His mothers all have their own items as well. Mother Celestia holds a "wand" that acts like a hilt of a amber crystal shaped like a long sword. Mother Luna wields twin wand-daggers being bright sapphire crystals, and Mother Nightmare wields a staff-scythe made of obsidian crystal. The "weapons" glint in the dull sunlight being covered by the fog and dark grey clouds, thunder booms above as droplets of rain drip onto the still waking world. Harry walks over to Mother Luna and looks at the twin daggers in awe, while Griphyx looks at the scythe, spear and sword with nary as response, too confused about why their parents are holding such things. Will they be learning how to fight? Curious. Father Discord then starts speaking to the two boys, "You shall both pick a crystal that accepts you as it's master. For me, it was a simple clear crystal, for Celestia it is amber, for Luna it is Sapphire and Nightmare is Obsidian. Go on and pick one, it will them form into what it is your magic chooses, as it will become an extension of yourself." He explains. Harry nods and watches as multiple minerals and crystals either rise from the ground, or simply appear from nowhere. Griphyx notes nothing rises or appears before him. He sighs softly and sadly, but gives them a small smile of reassurance. "I'll be fine. You go and pick your stuff out Harry, I'll be waiting over there," he points to a tree, "okay?" He says. Harry nods his head, and goes back to picking things out, well things picking him out. When his mothers and father turn to help Harry, Griphyx's shoulders sag, and he moves over towards the tree, and sits at the trunk of it. A stream rolls on by next to him as he watches rubies, emeralds and strange white wood float in the air before him, forming into a dual-sided staff, the crystals become blades at each ends. The staff itself is the size of his leg, and floats before him. Harry gains a grin and says something to their parents, making them chuckle or giggle, before taking the item, which then shrinks down turns into a dual-sided wand with miniature crystals becoming smooth. Griphyx then watches as Harry is guided in making strange red and green energy shoot out from the emerald. The energy hits a rock, and it turns into a new baby tree. He does the same, but shoots it from the ruby, and the baby tree is destroyed in a fiery, but small, explosion. He smiles as their parents clap, and then guide him in making it return it to it's "weapon form", and Father Discord shows Harry a few positions, before he puts them together in graceful, yet powerful, movements. Griphyx sighs softly, and looks up at the sky, rain pouring down on them, thought they remain dry, giving the world a wonderful smell. When he look down, forward, he jumps when Mother Nightmare is kneeling before him. "Something wrong, Griphyx?" She asks. He gives her a fake smile. "I'm that obvious, huh?" He asks. She nods her head, and he sighs once more as sadness shows itself on his face and in his eyes. "I'm sorry I'm not like Harry, that nothing wanted me...I'm a failure..." He whimpers out. Mother Nightmare shakes her head and kisses hi forehead gently. "No, it just means you need things stronger than the simpler stuff. Sure, Harry has succeeded in this, but those items did not have Obsidian, Steel, Iron, or even bones or other bits of animals. Those are the harder, more advanced things. So don't be thinking your failure, cause you not, understand me?" She says softly and firmly at the same time. Griphyx nods his head, and she smiles. She rises to her feet and pulls him up to his. "Let's go back and do the harder stuff now." She giggles out. The two return to the others, just as bones, obsidian, scales, etc. appear before him. He stares in awe as most of these things float into the air, and form into many items. A gauntlet, a shield, a sword, a scythe, armor, even forming into a strange looking helmet, but then they all fuse together, forming into a ring that slips onto his middle finger. It is made of obsidian. He grins wen the ring changes into a obsidian wand with strange blue and gold lines tracing it up and down forming into odd shapes or symbols. They stare at him as the wand then returns to being a ring, the magical energy flowing off of it, making the air seem thinner, yet still the same. Griphyx gives them all a lopsided smirk, before his eyes roll to the back of his head. The last thing he hears is the sound of feet moving towards him swiftly. Then, he hears no more. Chapter 2KEY: "Normal Speak" 'Thoughts' Spells Magical Speak THE TWO POTTERS CHAPTER TWO HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG Ever since Griphyx and Harry gaining their "catalyst/weapons" for their magic and power, the two had been training hard, long and with grace. They had gone through many challenges that needed them to tap into their instincts, and harness them. While Harry had a dominant and "alpha complex", Griphyx was cunning and swift with his attacks, never once faultered with carrying out one of Harry's orders or plans. The "Missions" that they were tasked with generally had to deal with harnessing their abilities and controlling them. When it came to their animal forms, though Griphyx had caught glimpses of a ten-tailed winged beast with massive purplish blue eyes, well, they were met with problems, but those will solve themselves in time, as Discord had told them. It took him and their mothers to reach that stage, and even then it was during a point in time where they felt the need to protect or destroy. The two had gone through training, and yet were still not finished. No, their training will last for many years, but even now they have harnessed much of their power to affect the area's around them, even to mold them into things that may of use. Transfiguring other things into keys, doors, trees, animals, etc., their boundless powers ever growing and expanding as they grow more and more determined to prove themselves to each other. To their parents. To the world. They have gone through blood, sweat and tears over the years since they had been brought in, now both of them at the ages of 10 soon to be 11, and they still have the same height, yet look older much like those human's do. Many things had happened, yes indeed. They had gone from school to school, learning as much as they could, before moving somewhere else in the United Kingdom. They stayed in Surrey, then London, then the Welsh Isles. But currently, they are in the highlands of Scotland, where a dense forest sits near the lake of Loch Ness. They have learned to control the elements that are bound to them. Both sharing the lands and skies, but Harry had taken control over all manners of heat, and Griphyx all manners of the cold. They had sparred many a times, and still manage to "one-up" the other. Even to surprise and shock their parents and few friends they had managed to keep close through the years. One such friend is known as "Hermione Jane Granger", she is a brown bushy haired girl who loves to learn as much as she can, even going as far as to join Griphyx when he studies for whatever it is he desires to know. Another friend is known as "Neville Longbottom", a short and somewhat round boy who holds a great love for magic and plants, even going so far as to explain "Herbology" to not just the boys, but their father and mothers as well. Neville had visited them many a times, and became like a brother to the boys, and becoming another son to Discord and his wives. The four were insufferable. The small group of friends played together, no matter the distance, they were always in touch with each other by mail. Many parties were held for birthdays, events, or even just to gain a few laughs. When Griphyx asked Father Discord why they had so many parties, he grew sad. And said with a dreary, solemn voice, "Because my second best friend used to throw parties, she loved to see the smiles on every-ponies faces, even going so far as to make them laugh, only for the satisfaction of making someone smile, and forget their problems, even if it was just for a minute or two. She might not be around anymore, but she is your aunt. They all were..." Ever since then, Griphyx had tried to make people smile, and keep his father's friends memory alive in the youth of earth. It worked for a time, but he still had sadness in those eyes whenever there was a party, and would toast to a single name; Pinkie Pie. Harry had grown sad about hearing how their fathers fist best friend had past away in her sleep, after they had made some sort of refuge for animals world wide, and binging beings together through kindness. They had soon learned of the portrait on their ceiling, was of their friends and in Mother Celestia's case, a daughter, a son, and a grandson, whom she misses very much, but does not let it get to her. Over the many years, even if they were only 5 years, the two brothers had learned of their parents past's, their old universe, and then learned how to tap into their "celestial magic" which was given to them the day they became part of the family. But, currently, the two brothers sit on a couch with their two friends; Neville and Hermione. They sit and speak about what they plan on doing once the brothers turn 11 at the end of the week, on July the 31st. "So, why not throw a big party?!" Hermione exclaims excitedly. "We could get some music! Maybe I can finally show you my IPod!" She exclaims. She had been dying to show the three boys her amazing device that could hold tones of information and music by the thousands bordering millions. Neville had to get used to that sort of thing before enjoying he fact the "muggle" music was actually amazing compared to the "new(old styled) music" from a record. "Hm hm, perhaps." Griphyx chuckles out softly. The two of them had actually grown closer than Harry and her head, not that it mattered. "But, why would you wish to bring it? Something on it we should know about? Hm?" He asks. Hermione nods her head firmly. "Yep! There's this picture I have, and it looks so strange!" She says in awe. Griphyx gains a small smile. "Really? What's it of?" He asks. Hermione goes to answer, but soon gains a stumped look before tapping her chin lightly. "Um....I d'nno, something about some old guy coming by here and talking to your father. When I heard more, he said something about a "magic school", and "muggles", whatever those things are." She shrugs out. Neville seems to pale, but quickly hides it just as fast as it had happened. Griphyx and Harry noticed, but didn't question it out of respect. "Really? How odd. But let's see something, perhaps we should finally show you some of the...things our family can do. Our parents already set it up and gave us the okay." Harry says with a grin. Hermione giggles and nods. "This I have to know about!" She exclaims. They nod, and decide to set it up on the 30th so they could enjoy the 31st quietly with each other. The week had passed by like it was nothing, until the 30th, where the Grangers and Longbottom's had each came to visit. For the first time ever, the Longbottom's were in awe and fearful when they learned of Harry Potter and his "brother". How come the Ministry didn't say that he had a brother? A stage stands just before the woods with the Order family standing on it dressed in odd clothing, their eyes literally glowing, making everyone squirm in discomfort and fear. "Welcome to our home. It has been many good years of knowing each of you, even I it was for half that time. I and my wives have decided to expose ourselves to your two families mainly because we trust all of you. Don't betray that trust, otherwise there will be...terrible consequences that the human mind could never imagine." Father Discord says. Hermione stares up at Griphyx with wide and scared eyes, she gains more fear when his face becomes emotionless and cold, had he been doing this before? "I would like you all to make an oath, a life promise to protect our secrets, and locations. We mean no harm, just that life here is...odd." Mother Celestia says softly with her motherly voice. The crowd eases back into comfort, before they each make the promise/oath unaware of what exactly it is about. "Thank you." She says softly, before she swings her hand out, and royal regalia forms on herself, her sisters, Discord, Harry, and finally Griphyx. Her sword forms in her right hand, while Luna's daggers form, then Nightmare's scythe, Discord spear, Harry's sword and Griphyx's ring, all show themselves to the crowd below. "I am Princess Celestia of Equestria, Goddess of the Day, Light Magic, Sun." She says. "I am Princess Luna of Equestria, Goddess of Neutrality, Neutral Magic, Night." Luna exclaims. "I am Queen Nightmare Moon, Goddess of the Moon, Dreams, Black Magic." Nightmare states while showing off her fangs. "I am King Discord, God of Chaos Magic, Chaos itself." Discord booms out, thunder rolls through the skies as the ground seems to shake. "I am Prince Harry Lux Potter-Order, Mage of the Earth, Heat, Skies, Nature, Elements and Light and Chaotic Magic." Harry booms out, making the air shake and the fires to rise. "I am Griphyx Umbra Potter-Order, Mage of the Earth, Cold, Skies, Nature, Minerals and Neutral and Chaotic Magic." Griphyx booms out, making the wind scream, and the water to bubble. The crowd stares in shock as their magic becomes physical and forms flaming tornado's around each of them. Discord's is brown, Celestia's is golden, Luna's is silver, Nightmare's is black, Harry's is green and red, Griphyx's is blue and black. "That...Is...AWESOME!!" Hermione explains as she jumps onto the stage, and hug Griphyx tightly, making the boy blush, but he returns the hug and smiles down at her as she reaches his chest. Father Discord begins to speak again. "Another thing, we had welcomed our sons into our lives, making them immortal, powerful, and changing the into something....more. They are half human, and half Equestrian. They hold our "genetics" and their original parent's "genetics" as well. We can even grant you all magic, if you so choose." He finishes up. Mr. Granger(Dan) raises his hand, "Yes, Dan?" Luna asks. "What will happen to us if we accept this...gift?" He asks. Discord grins down at him. "You will become a half-breed like our children, but, you will need to choose the race. There is no such thing as becoming a Draconequus less it's by blood or marriage, and even then it is up to the partner of the situation." Discord explains. Dan nods his head before walking onto the stage and stands before Discord. "I...I accept of this...this gift." He says. Discord nods, and places his right hand against Dan's forehead. "I must warn you, it will hurt at first, but when it does happen, choose the race you desire." Discord explains. Dan nods his head, and braces himself. "Let's get this done." He sighs out, preparing himself. Dan feels a jolt of...something....curse through his body, he releases a cry of pain, before a human comes to mind. A human wearing odd robes and a pointy hat. Once the ceremony is finished, Discord is panting heavily as if he was having blood loss, before calming down again. Dan rises to his feet, and a wooden staff forms in his hand, as orange robes and pointy hat form over his body. "A Wizard, very interesting. So you took what I said by heart, hm? Clever." He compliments. Dan nods his head lightly. "Thank you, Discord." He says. Discord chuckles lightly. "No problem what-so-ever, my friend. Anyone else?" He asks the crowd. Mrs. Granger(Amy) steps onto the stage. "I would like to go though I am curious, what else does this whole thing entail?" She asks. Discord chuckles. "It gives you MUCH longer life, powerful magic -though it differs for the race-, strength, intelligent, and more stamina, which could be used for...bedroom activities~" He purrs the last part out. Amy shares a glance with Dan before slamming her face into Discord's palm. "Please, continue kind sir~!" She exclaims quickly. Discord chuckles mirthfully, and sends a pulse of his power into Amy, making her cry out in pain. She see's a woman wearing black robes and pointy hat, who then turns into a bird like creature. When the pain stops, her body had aged a few years younger, her bust grew as she became taller, and her hair now silvery-blonde. Her clothes are now black robes and a short pointy hat sits atop her head. "A Veela, interesting. Very uncommon, but interesting all the same. You chose very well, my dear Amy." Discord states. Amy blushes and smiles at the tall man. "Thanks 'Cord." She says cheerily. Hermione then steps in front of Discord, making everyone freeze in surprise. "I would like to go next." She asks sweetly. Discord looks to her parents, who look on warily, and he sighs. "Young Hermione, while I would love to do this for you, it would feel as if fire, lightning and then knives are being sent into you all at once." He explains. Amy becomes confused. "But I felt only Lightning..." "And me knives, why would she feel those three?" Dan finishes. Discord sighs. "Because she is young, and she already has magic, weak magic, yes, but magic all the same. If I were to add our magic, it would make her become comatose for at least a few days for the body to become accustomed to it's changes, both magically and physically." He states. Amy goes to speak, but out of nowhere, Hermione grabs Discord's still magic covered hand and slams it into her forehead. Everyone stares wide-eyed in shock, as she screams in pain, her magic sends out pulses that shatters glass, and wood. The plants over grow to triple their natural sizes. She see's a flaming two tailed cat with large feathery wings, and a golden pearl protruding from it's forehead. Discord pulls his hand away, and Griphyx catches her. The Orders stare in shock as they stare down at her, and how she is STILL awake, albeit weak and tired, and kicking. "Hermione!" Griphyx cries out. "Hermione! Are you alright!?" He exclaims worriedly. Hermione nods her head with a whimper mixed with a groan. "Owie...." She whimpers out, and Griphyx pulls her in close to his chest, making her blush softly, but doesn't deny it as her body heats up and she feels the pain vanish in a split second, and she gazes up at her friend from since they were six. "Thanks...." She says to him. Griphyx her a grin. "No problem! I'm just glad your okay!" He says happily, before a dangerously serious expression sets in, "Never! And I mean NEVER! Do that EVER again!!" He cries out. Hermione nods her head softly. "I'm sorry....I just...I just wanted to be with everyone and..." A finger is pressed against her lips. "Shush now. It's over, and your safe. All if forgiven, but please never make me- er, us worry like that again, okay?" He asks. She nods her head with small smile, and lays her head against his flat chest. "I make no promises~!" She sings out, making Griphyx shake his head with a smile. "Fine..." He huffs out, before standing and helping her to her feet. She smiles back at him, and hugs her parents, who give Griphyx a look of...admiration? She then turns and gives Discord a sad smile, but to her surprise he gives her a grin before stomping his foot on the ground, making Griphyx's items form before her. An obsidian shield before her, a gold clawed gauntlet next to it, before they fuse into a wand, and then a silver ring that slips onto her left ring finger with a blue diamond on the top shaped like a shield with a gauntlet and wand in he center of the shield. Her eyes change amber gold with slightly sharp pupils, her brown bushy hair grows darker and longer, before shortening, and then changing into different shapes, colors, her eyes do the same, while she ages slightly, but then back. She groans and grabs her head, and a voice cuts through the air. "She's a Matemorphmagus!" Neville exclaims. Harry, Griphyx and Hermione look at him in shock as his ancient grandmother, Agusta Longbottom, points a stick in the air making a ball of light form. "Human magic?" Griphyx says. "We're Wizards and Witches." Neville says nervously. "We're Equestrian's." Harry states calmly as his "wand" changes into a dual-blade that shines brightly in the dark night. "We are magical creatures, I suppose you could say...." He stops talking as Agusta fires a white bolt of magic that is backhanded away by Griphyx, who keeps looking down at Neville. "Cool, I had a feeling you weren't human, I just didn't know what you were. And sorry for gran, she tends to test people like that...." Neville says shyly... HGHNHGHNHGHNHGHNHGHNHGHNHGHN The night passed by after that little incident, and the three families had came together, the Longbottom's telling the Order's and Granger's about the magical world, the schools, and even the laws on magical creatures -which infuriated them greatly, but they stayed quiet about it- and the war that had ended eleven years ago for magical Britain. They told about "The-Boy-Who-Lived(Harry Potter)" and how there were story books that painted Harry as a leader, a warrior, a figurehead for those who need someone to look up to. Discord had a smirk gracing his lips as he watched his oldest son looking oddly uncomfortable and his youngest son laughing till he falls over. Neville and the other families watch as Harry and Griphyx dash around playing a "don't-get-hit" that Neville and Hermione had seen so many times. Hours had passed and the party was underway, however, the second the clock struck midnight, Griphyx and Harry stopped, and grin widely. It was their birthday at last. A hoot resounds through the air, as large brown owl lands before the three children. It's amber eyes staring up at them with three letters in it's beaked mouth. Neville retrieves his letter, Harry his, Hermione hers, and Griphyx his. They open them and pull out a letter with a list attached. Agusta gives a happy cry and hugs Neville tightly. Dan and Amy look over the letter, and hug their daughter tightly, while Discord takes Harry's and Griphyx's letter, making them vanish into thin air. "Looks like we need to get to this "Diagon Alley" tomorrow. But for now, perhaps some rest?" He asks everyone, as they were all slowing down, even getting tired. Many agreed, though some left leaving behind a popping sound from where they once were. he group that remains heads inside the mansion, only to stop when they see a woman dressed in green and black robes. Her old dull blue eyes taking them in. "Are you the Orders, Grangers and Neville Longbottom?" The old woman asks. Discord steps between them, his wand appears in his hand as he points it at the old woman. "May we ask who you are, miss?" He asks. "Ah, I am Professor McGonagall, Deputy Mistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At your service." McGonagall says softly. Discord vanishes his wand and grins at her. "Ah, so your the one who sent the letter? Hm Hm Hm, interesting." He chuckles out. McGonagall nods her head. "Indeed I am." She says. Discord smirks down at her, making her gape at how tall he is, apparently it just came to her that this man and his wives stand taller than Hagrid with ease, while Harry and Griphyx stand up to their abdomen's, making them up to Hagrid's stomach. "How lovely to meet you, perhaps we could talk...in the morning about whatever it is you wish to speak about. But, for now we were just heading to bed. If you wish to stay in one of the guest rooms, by all means, do stay. But I must warn you," his tone becomes serious and deadly making McGonagall gain shivers up and down her spine from how silky and cold his voice is, "do not leave the room when the clock hits 1. Other than that, please, enjoy your stay!" He cheers out before he, and his wives vanish thanks to Nightmare's control over the darkness. McGonagall jumps when they seep through the floor much like those vampires do in Transylvania. She shivers and looks to the children, and is surprised to see Harry and Griphyx walking towards a room that is glowing. This peaks her interest and decides to investigate. What she finds shocks her immensely. Much like the ceiling of Hogwarts' great hall, there is a sky, generally of clouds, sun's, stars, or moon's. But this? It's a universe that is painted onto the ceiling. And it moves! Her jaw drops as she watches stars jet across the "night sky" as the planets spiral around a strange orange and yellow sun with a planet like earth, only blue instead of green, being circled by a purple and blue moon that holds the design of a unicorn on it. She looks at the walls and gasps as she see's the flames moving around, the clouds rolling and booming while lightning flashes. The sea's crashing against the lands where the forests release their own "noises". She notes that things move in each places like the portraits on the walls and in the halls of Hogwarts move. She feels something tap her shoulder, and she jumps and turns around, seeing Harry standing there with a small smirk on his face. "Something wrong, Professor?" He asks. She shakes her head, and goes to answer, but stops and stares as Griphyx raises his right hand broadly, and a vase rises into the air, before he flicks his wrist, and the vase turns into a bed which then is sent into a guest room no doubt. "How?" She asks. Harry grins. "We have been going through magic since we were little. Father Discord has been teaching us his chaotic magic, Mother Celestia her Light Magic, Mother Luna her Neutral Magic," McGonagall smiles at this, "and Mother Nightmare her Dark Magic." Griphyx states. McGonagall flinches from that, and gives the boys a shocked look. "Evil Magic!?" She exclaims. Griphyx's face grows dark and hard. "No. Dark Magic is not evil. Black Magic is. Shadow Magic is. Soul Magic is. Dark Magic is just the opposite of Light, neither are good or bad. But Black Magic such as Necromancy, Soul Magic or Shade Magic is evil, all of those are part of death and viewed as evil. Dark Magic is nothing to be afraid of, as long as the right person uses it." Griphyx mutters out before moving past the old woman and lays on his black, grey and blue bed, where he immediately falls asleep. McGonagall feels guilt course through her heart. Harry smiles at her softly. "Don't worry, he's like that about everything. Before the Order's adopted us, we were living with the Dursleys, hence why Griphyx has his...trust issues. His girlish figure got him beatings because he was a boy. They called him a "monster" because he had strength, speed, and agility that made them scared. We were both smart, still are, and they feared us, hated us, hurt us..." Harry goes silent as tears form. He is shocked when McGonagall hugs the child whom reaches up to the top of her chest. "I am sorry about your younger years. But may I ask a question?" He nods. "How are you and Griphyx so tall? Why are his nails black and claw-like? His hair is just as black. Why?" She asks. "I can't say... You'll need to ask Father Discord in the morning. Please, enjoy your room, it's the first one on the left." And with that, Harry went to bed, and the door closed after McGonagall left. HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG The next morning, Griphyx and Harry awoke and found Father Discord and their mothers taking to their friends, the Grangers and Professor McGonagall, who all have shocked looks on their faces. When they let themselves be known, McGonagall stares at Harry. "You share genes with them. Did it hurt?" She asks softly. Harry nods his head as he remembers feeling so much pain, feeling his body change so many times. He sighs. "Yes, it hurt. A lot. Why does it matter?" He asks. McGonagall gains a sad look. "I knew your parents when they had gone to Hogwarts. Lilly and James. Lilly was a wonderful girl who would constantly keep James in check, after he and those marauders run a muck in the school with their pranks." McGonagall says softly, making Harry stare at her wide eyed. "You knew them?" He asks. She nods her head. "Indeed, I did. I knew them quite well. I also knew James' friends who were with him till the day he and Lilly were...were murdered." She says. Harry sits in shock, while Griphyx gains a confused look. He looks to McGonagall. "What about me?" He asks. McGonagall sighs. "I am not sure. You used to have Lilly's hair and James' eyes. But that's changed. I can see you have blackish blue hair, and your eyes still hold James' in them, but they seem...brighter." She states. Griphyx nods his head before looking away. "Why doesn't the magical world know about me...?" He asks, almost afraid of the answer. "Only few knew about you; Me, Albus, Hagrid and V-...Voldemort." She explains. He sighs and sits in a chair next to Hermione. She looks to the boys. "May I see what magic you have so far?" She asks. Griphyx and Harry share a look, before both gaining wide grins. "A spar....Alright!" Griphyx exclaims. Harry rises to his feet and drags Griphyx outside, the others following close behind. The two brothers lock wrists and wait for Discord to place a hand over both of them. "I want a clean spar, and no causing catastrophic earthquakes please. Other than those things, have fun!" He then flickers next to McGonagall, who watches in confusion, before the two brothers push against one another. Sparks flash between the two before they send each other flying backwards and summon their tools. Harry spins his dual-blade around making the air heat up and the plants to bend around his form and grow. Griphyx dons on his ring and the gauntlet forms, it covers his forearm up past his elbow. Strange yellow lines looking like wires shine and flash through the grooves of the gauntlet. The air around him becomes freezing cold and the wind spins around him like a bladed tornado. The two fire beams of magic that fight for dominance, before a ball forms and explodes. Shockwaves rocket through the sky as the windows on the mansion shudders, as if afraid of the two. They then run along side each other, sending out bolts of magic which they either dodge or knock aside. The two flip around off the trees and rocks, even to move around in nearby streams. The onlookers watch as the two brothers share a dance that only the two would know. They uproot plants of all kinds, even splintering smaller trees as they fire strange bolts of multi-colored magical energy, even sending out waves of power Griphyx's form flickers all around making Harry grow annoyed from his brothers tactic, but soon gains a idea. Harry's staff changes into a sword, and he swings upwards making a red wave of magic roar across the ground towards Griphyx like flames. Griphyx's eyes narrow and slams his covered hand down, a large shield forms that blocks the flames from hitting him. The flames flick off the sides of the sharp shield, before he swings it upwards, making a gust of wind that snuffs out the magical flames as quickly as they had come. The shield then turns back into the gauntlet, and that into the ring. It shines before it turns into a scythe with teeth. He spins the scythe around before it turns into his wand and fires a magical bolt, hitting Harry in the chest, and knocking him back into a tree. McGonagall stares in awe as Griphyx then points the wand upwards, and a ball of magic forms, before exploding, and smaller balls of magic fly down at Harry, who changes his sword into a wand and summons a large dome like shield that absorbs the balls, before firing them right back at Griphyx. His eyes widen, before he summons his shield again, blocking the balls of golden light. He grows surprised when they stick to is shield, and then explodes, making him fly back into a tree, and the shield turns back into it's ring form, before Griphyx lands on his feet, making the ground crack and small rock walls stand up tall around him in a circular formation. His eyes glowing bright eerie blue as his remains silent. Harry pants slightly from the quick magical recovery he had just used, as well as sending a mirroring counter spell as well as a bombing spell all mixed together. He watches as Griphyx takes a single step, and the stone walls shatter oblivion, and he then whips his right hand outward, making his ring turn into it's wand form, and he fires a bolt of magic that collides with Harry's chest, and a sheet of metal pins him down only allowing his head to move. "You win. I Yield..." Harry sighs out, before the metal vanishes at the flick of Griphyx's wrist. Harry goes to move, but stops as he see's the outline of an animal that resembles a Buck, yet has the Alicorn traits to it as well, but only for the briefest of moments, before he collapses from magical drain. He coughs out, before regaining his lost magic, and he sighs softly, and rises to his feet. "That was a most interesting fight, but how can you two move so swiftly, or even cause such damage?" McGonagall asks. Harry scoffs. "This is nothing. Father Discord asked us to not go all out, otherwise you would be watching many things returning to how they once were." Harry states as the damage the two had caused meds itself, looking as if nothing had happened in the first place. McGonagall is awe struck, but keeps her mouth shut. "Well then, shall we go and get your supplies?" She asks. Discord shakes his head 'no'. "I took the liberty of gathering their things last night before bed." He explains. McGonagall looks up at him incredulously. "How?" She asks. Discord gives his trademark smirk. "Magic, my dear Watson. Magic." Author's Note Short? Perhaps. I decided to give it a bit more of an "oomph" feel. Hop yer all enjoying it so far! Next chapter will be introducing Diagon Alley, Goblins, Hagrid! Till next time! Bye bye!! Chapter 3KEY: "Normal Speak" 'Thoughts' Spells Magic Speak THE TWO POTTERS BY VLADIMIR[/b[ CHAPTER THREE Diagon Alley After the brothers little "fight", McGonagall led them and the others towards a pub where an old man stands behind a counter. She and the old man trade some words, before she leads the brothers, the Grangers, and the Orders behind the counter and leads to a brick wall, where she proceeds to tap on it with her wand. The wall parts in two directions into the walls. There they see a long alley with shops stringed up and down, even leading to other alleyways for whatever reason. Griphyx notes that certain alley's are darker than the main or other minor ones. He also notes that out of all the shops, he notes that there is a "Ollivanders Wand Shop" since some ort of "B.C." time period. Humans. He notes that there is a shining light, no, two shinning lights glowing from the window. He grabs Harry's hand along with Hermione's hand, and pulls them towards the shop. McGonagall squawks in surprise, and chases after them. Griphyx moves through the doors and looks around, his blue eyes gaining a purplish tint to them as they glow in the darkness of the room. Harry's eyes slightly glow blood red in the light, while Hermione's glow bright sand gold. "I had been expecting you, Mr. Potter. But who are these two?" An old man's voice asks. Harry spins around and gazes at an old man, who smiles softly at the three. "This is my brother, Griphyx and our friend, Hermione." Harry answers with uneasiness in his voice. The old man smiles. "I am Ollivander! Pleased to meet you two." He says with the bow of his head. Hermione bows her head back, while Griphyx gives a two fingured salute. "Thank you, Mr. Ollivander!" "Yo!" They reply to him. Ollivander smiles broadly at them, before noting the three glowing pairs of eyes. "I see, so you three aren't human, hm? No problem! Your secret, is safe with me, do not worry!" He states happily, yet there is a strange gleam in his eye. The three look on warily before looking around the store. The candles are out, while the walls and flows are completely black, yet, in the blackness there are shapes of various items strung across the walls, giving the darkened store an eerie look. Hermione's eye is then caught by a glowing box as sand and wind currents surround it, causing her to gain a Cheshire grin. She steps forward and grabs the box, and pulls out a wand that looks like it was made up of golden sand with blue markings going through it as it makes strange patterns. The feel of the wand is like rubbing up against a smooth tanned wood of oak from some foreign land. She grins when the sand and wind currents swirl around her form as Ollivander somewhat smiles, while somehow paling ever so slightly. "I see. That wand is made up of a strange tree found in the desserts of a large continent near the middle-east, while the outside is from said desert, but the core is that of a strange large tanned creature said to be the spirit of the sands. I believe it was some sort of animal that held tremendous power, yet was only the first of many beasts." He states with a small hint of fear in his voice for whatever reason. "That wand you have, Ms. Granger, is extremely dangerous, and has even killed people for whatever reason. How it came out here I have nary a clue. But seeing as to how it hasn't killed you yet, then, perhaps it is the very wand meant for you?" He says this right as the adults enter the room, staring wide eyed at the terrifying almost bloodthirsty grin on Hermione's face. She see's a vast desert with winding and whipping around it with a feral like motion. A monstrous creature the size of an ox the resembles what looks to be a strange humanoid coyote of sorts stands over the desert, before the winged cat and the creature fuse together somehow, and the creature stands biped in nature with it's concave mouth morphing into a large Cheshire smile while it's golden eyes glint with power. When she comes back to reality, she notes that the Orders are giving her proud looks, while her parents look on her proudly, yet a hit of fear courses through their eyes for whatever reason. She looks to Ollivander. "Thank you, Ollivander. This wand suites me well, no?" She says to Griphyx who nods his head lightly, the ghost of a smirk present on his lips, while Harry nods with a small grin. She nods firmly and looks around, until a wand holster appears before her, she grins and places it onto her left hip and holsters her new wand. Harry notes that two items appear before him, one being an all black wand, while the second being bright orange. The black one firmly goes into his left hand, while the orange one goes into his right. He feels power course through them along with his fist wand as he feels it splitting into the two wands, forming them into being his, and his alone. Ollivander grins at him. "Very precarious, Mr. Potter." "Why's that sire?" Harry asks curtly. "The brother of that wand, is the very same one that gave you that scar. 11 inches, black holy with the second phoenix feather as it's core. I expect many greats things with you, Mr. Potter, just as the it's brother had done. Terrible. Yes, but great." He states with grin, before paling slightly at the sight of the second wand. "No that one, on the other hand, has caused many a problems with people. It is similar to Ms. Grangers. "The wood used to create it is a red tree, of what kind I am not sure, as it's location was never revealed to me, while the core is a mixture between a strand of fur from a monstrous creature, while it was wound and then then bound into a fire ruby that is as long as the wand itself. Never in all my years, has two wand chose a single user at the same time. Remarkable." Ollivander finishes up his little rant. Harry holds the wands in his hands, and he see's a large looking multi-tailed wolf like human standing above a forest with that is between a sea of sand and a large mountain with a white peak with separate forest around it. The wolf humanoid then fuses with that Alicorn, giving it multiple wolf tails, while it's wings look like whips of flame with feathers on them. When he comes back to reality, he grins down at them, as two holsters form, one red and the other green. The green holster is placed onto his right hip, while the red one is one hidden under his left forearm. He smiles at the group, who smile back. Griphyx looks around, and see's a strange bone white wand with purple and black streaks move through it. He goes to grip it, but Ollivanders eyes go wide, "DON'T TOUCH THAT WAND!!!" He roars, making Griphyx jump and trip forward. His hand collides into the wand, making the old man stares in disbelief when Griphyx gets back up to his feet, ad dusts himself off, wand firmly planted into his right hand. His ring makes a humming sound loud enough for all to hear, as the wand hums back at his touch. He shivers as he see's a silhouette of a strange creature that looks like a humanoid beast that looks to be taller than Father Discord himself. The being then changes its form to look like a strange looking creature that stands tall above mountains, it's back covered in spines or fins while two large fins forms into wings covered in angled spines pointing in all manors of directions. The creatures tail is miles long while the snout is rectangular while it's eyes shine bright blue with multiple other colors shinning brightly in them, the most prominent being purple. The body looks to be covered in strange looking scales, before the body morphs once more, the type remains tall as ever but it then gains that Wyvern looking form, before changing into multiple other creatures for whatever reason. The body turns back into that humanoid looking form as it stares into his own eyes, before nodding it's shadowed head, as if stating that he was worthy for whatever reason. Two massive wing lie fins spread widely, and a blue sphere forms before it's face while it's back, wings, and tail spines shine bright blue. A blue beam shoots out at Griphyx's face, before all he see's is white. When he returns to reality, he stumbles around a bit, before steadying himself with the nearby wall. He groans softly as his ring hums happily before it an he wand go quiet. His eyes open to reveal that they are glowing bright blue with a tint of dark purple around their rims. His hair is no longer black, but silvery white like the moon itself. He looks up at the group of people before him, and see's that Olivander is staring at him as if he were someone of great power. His hands tremble, but his eyes shine with excitement. "My boy, that wand is very, VERY powerful! It was made by a cherry blossom tree with the core of a bone fragments of strange creatures that had once walked this earth before they mysteriously disappeared. My great, great, great grandfather had found these pieces and had built them into that very wand, I had only JUST found it, and it has caused may problems for many of y customers, so much so, that I had bound it into a chest in the basement with a powerful binding curse! How it got out and to you, is as much a mystery as the other two. But let me tell you this, my boy, you are now bound to this wand! And it seems to me that your ring is a magical item as well. Is it perhaps a wand as well?" He asks. Griphyx nods his head. "May I see? I promise I will never speaks of it's or your secrets!" He exclaims/asks. "Sure?" Griphyx says and summons his "wand" before it morphs into it's gauntlet form, making Ollivander grin widely. "I see, so it isn't JUST a wand, is it? Very well, then it shall be your back up wand. Oh, and don't even THINK I didn't notice your first wand either, Mr. Potter. I heard it humming and "fusing" with you two new ones. Do not worry, whatever it could do, it still can, just in different ways." Ollivander states. Discord grins at the old man, making his eyes glow. "My wives and I had helped them find their "wands" and helped "create" them as well. Harry's is made up of gems and elements, while Griphyx was made up of minerals, such as bone, steel, iron, obsidian, etc. I am curious as to how you make your wands, Mr. Ollivander?" Discord asks. Ollivander's own grin widens. "Oh, I would love to tell you, but, I can't say how they are "created"." He states. The two share a chuckle, while the onlookers simply shake their heads, while the three Alicorn's mutter out "only Discord" before smiling at their son's. They share some words, before Griphyx stops as a red haired boy runs right into him, knocking them both over. He coughs softly and looks at the boy atop of him with a brow raised as the boy stares at him. "Yes?" He asks. The boy glares before rising to his feet. "Freakish mudblood..." The boy growls out. Griphyx tilts his head to the side, his long silver hair cascading down his shoulders, making him look like a girl, almost. "What is a "mudblood"?" Griphyx asks in curiosity. The redheaded boy sniffs at this, as if "proving" that he was "better" than Griphyx. Pompous brat. "Mudbloods's are those who were born by muggle parents. Muggles are non-magicals, filthy creatures!" He spits out. Griphyx gains dark look. "I am no "Mudblood", as I have known of magic for a VERY long time. Let alone the fact that I was raised by my father and mother." He growls out. The redheaded boy blinks at him, before laughs up a storm, causing Nightmare to crack into existence next to Griphyx, making the redheaded boy cry out in surprise. "What the bloody hell!?" The boy cries out. Nightmare levels a bone imploding glare(is that possible?) at the impudent boy. "Why are you laughing at my son, for speaking the truth?" She growls out, flashing her sharpened fangs. The boy's eyes go wide, before crying out, "Mother!" like a little bitch! A large redheaded woman who looks to have eaten FAR too many pies in her life charges in next to her son, her wand drawn pointing at Nightmare. "What are you doing to my SON!?" She roars out like a lioness. A pitiful feat considering who she is talking to, ne? Nightmare's eyes turn colder than before and the air around the alley grows cold and heavy with her magical presence. The redhead family drops to their knee's before the queen of darkness itself. "I have done nothing...yet. I simply overheard your...son...laughing at my youngest son's explanation of how he did not know a "mudblood", despite being raised by me and my husband and my sisters, who are gifted with magic." Nightmare growls out dangerously. The two tall redheads gaze at her as if she were a goddess, if only the knew, huh? The redheaded woman sneers. "I see, so you are a freakish one then, hm? Not even a pureblood, hm? I bet your son is a useless piece of trash!" She criticizes with a nasty sneer, for whatever reason. Nightmare's eyes go wide and Griphyx whimpers loudly, making most of the redheads look at him as if he were insane, before he mutters an "oh shit..." before all hell breaks loose. "Pureblooded!? What the BUCK DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING!? YOU INSOLENT COW!!! I SHOULD STRIKE YOU DOWN FOR YOUR WORTHLESS EXCUSE OF MEANINGLESS EXISTENCE!!! I SHOULD RIP YOUR ENTRAILS OUT THROUGH YOUR BUCKING HEAD AND USE THEM TO FEED OUR PETS!! YOU BUCKING WHORSE!!!" Nightmare roars as her magic rolls off her body in waves that send the idiotic bi- I mean woman into the ground! Nightmare raises a hand, and goes to strike it down, but is stopped by Discord's hand. She looks back at him, and stares up at his eye smiling face. Shivers move up her spine, and she calms down only after holding Griphyx close to her form, his head pressed up against her generous bust. "Serves the bitch right..." The redheaded woman mutters under her breath. Discord doesn't even look as he flicks his pinkie finger, making the woman fly back and slam into a wall. "Mess with m family again, wench, and I'll be sure to make your life and eternal Tartarus." The coldness and seriousness of his tone of voice makes all of the redheads, besides two tall jokers, shiver in absolute primal fear as their instincts tell them to run and dig a hole in the ground as that is where their tombstones will be placed at. Discord looks at the three non-affected redheads, and grins at him as if nothing had happened. "You two I like! Like playing pranks, hm?" He asks. The two teens grin and nod their heads like mad making them look like blurs. Discord grins toothily before looking at a long haired redhead with three scars going down his left cheek. "And you must like magic, no?" He asks. This particular redhead nods his head curtly. "Aye, that I do. I am Bill Weasley. I'm a Curse Breaker for Gringotts Bank. I was just about to head to Gringotts. I see you three have gotten your first wands, have you? Interesting." Bill says as he eyes Hermione, Griphyx and Harry. When his eyes lands onto Harry's lightning bolt scar, his eyes bug out. "Harry Potter! Your THE Harry Potter!!" He exclaims. The other redheads stare with wide eyes as they all stare at Harry with odd looks. Harry raises a brow. "Yeah? I'm Harry Potter-Order? What's the problem with that?" He asks. They all gawk at him with wide eyes. "Hello? Something up?" He asks getting irritated. They shake their heads, most likely to clear them, before one of the boys steps forward, the same one that started all of this. "What are you, the savior of the Magical World, doing with these freaks?" The boy asks. Harry's eyes darken. "Their my family." Harry answers. The boy snorts. "Why would you want to be around these...things?" He then points to Griphyx. "Especially this freak?" He asks haughtily. Harry's whole body darkens as his emerald green eyes turn bright ruby red, making the boy and a few of the other Weasley's to pale. "These "freaks" as you call them, are my family. And he is my brother. He just looks different because of his wand. That's all." Harry hisses out. The redheaded boy glares. "And the buck-toothed wench?" He asks. Griphyx's eyes flash with anger and grabs the boy by his throat. The boy's eyes widen as Griphyx chokes him with a single hand, let alone that he is lifted off the ground as well. "Don't you ever call her that again, got it!? You filthy ningen!" He snarls as the whites of his eyes become pitch black and the blue gains a purple tint to it as they glow. His sharpened teeth become fangs as his nails become claws, his hair wisps around as the wind picks up for no real reason. The Weasley's eyes widen from the speed, power and hatred in the boys voice. A man with brownish grey hair with three claw marks going across his face stops and stares at Griphyx as if he were a long lost pup. He moves towards Griphyx and places a hand onto his shoulder, and something roars in his mind as if warning him of something. In his own mind a howl resounds, while Bill grabs his head as he too hears a howl. Griphyx calms down slightly and lets the boy drop onto his arse. He coughs and sputters as he tries to regain air to his lungs once again. Griphyx gazes down at the redheaded boy with anger and a strange primal fury in his eyes as if he were announcing that he was higher than the little ponce. "If I ever hear you call Hermione anything like that again. I'll rip you in half. You've been warned." He growls out as he turns away, but stops and looks up at the scared man. "Can I help you sir?" He asks. The man shakes his head. "Griphyx...?" He asks. Griphyx blinks. "Er...yeah? What's up?" He asks. The man wraps his arms around Griphyx's shoulders, hugging the boy close to his chest. "Your safe and alive! Oh thank Merlin! I heard that Albus had placed you and Harry with the Durselys! Where have you two been?!" He exclaims. Griphyx blinks and tilts his head. "What the hay are you talking about? We were adopted by our new family! Blood and everything!" He states. The mans eyes widen as he looks up and see's Discord. 'Oh lord! He makes Hagrid look like a human!' The man thinks to himself. Discord gives him a toothy smile. "Remus Lupin. Pleasure to meet you." He states. Lupin stares wide eyed. "How did you..." "I looked into your mind. Those dismal mental walls of yours are rather weak. Moony." He states with a smirks. Lupin gulps. 'If this is their new father, then...oh god...he's not human! Non of them are!' He thinks. Discord chuckles. "Of course we're not. Why would we be? Hmhmhm." Discord chuckles out. Lupin stares. 'You can read minds!?' 'Oh yes, I can see and hear everything in hear, dear Lupin.' "Would you like to come by to our Compound for dinner?" He asks. Remus nods his head lightly, in a daze as he stares up at Discord as if he had just met Merlin himself. "Wonderful! Be there at Seven O'clock sharp. Take this ruby and say "Shadow", and you will be brought to the compound within seconds." He explains as he then passes the Weasley's and McGonagall other various gems. "Do not worry if someone else grabs ahold of them, just state "Come to me" and the gem with appear before you." Discord states as he walks towards his family where Griphyx has Hermione hanging onto him. Lupin stares at Griphyx as he feels he watches him go. His long white hair swaying in the wind. The group heads into a building with multiple animals in it, Harry has a snow white owl land onto his right shoulder and rub her head against his cheek as if stating he was hers. He smiles and laughs softly before rubbing her chest feathers lightly, making her coo her liking. The owls white eyes stare into his green. Hermione feels something land atop her head. When she looks up with her eyes, she notes that a white dove stares down at her with a happy gleam in it's eyes, while something rubs up against her leg, making her look down to see a red kitten mewling his happiness for whatever reason. She smiles happily and hugs the two animals close to her chest and squeals happily and moves from side to side. Griphyx smiles softly, but none of the animals seem to even spare him a second glance as they interact with the other children all around the room. He sighs softly and steps out of the shop, looking down at the ground glumly. Lupin, who had just gotten out of his long daze, notices this and walks over. He places his hand onto Griphyx's shoulder, which was slightly difficult, and gives it a light squeeze. "Couldn't find a familiar, huh?" Lupin asks. Griphyx nods glumly. He sighs. "I had the same problem as you, though, they were more afraid of me, due to my little...condition." He says softly. Griphyx looks up at Lupin with a curious look in his eye. He then hears that howl once again as Griphyx's pupils become slits. His body goes stiff and rigged as he shivers. His slightly pointed ears twitch slightly, before he grabs Lupin's hand and runs forward towards a dark alley. Remus's eyes widen. 'Why is he going down Noctern Alley!?' He thinks to himself. He tries to stop Griphyx, but finds that his strength is far greater than his own. He sighs inwardly and decides to just follow to make sure he doesn't get into any sort of trouble. The two move in front of a "Dark Creature Shop" of sorts. Lupin eyes the wizards and witches warily, but then feels himself being pulled into the shop and he stands next to Griphyx who stands before a strange bat that he had never seen before, and a strange looking egg. He watches as the bat rests against Griphyx's chest as it's long tail coils around his neck. It's strange bleach moon white fur gleams in the candles dim light while it's yellow and green eyes shine with happiness as it's lone ears look like horns that are midnight black while it's tail, wings and legs are the exact same. It's large hook-like claws dig through the clothing, yet, do not break the skin. Remus is surprised by how large the bat is as it encompasses Griphyx's chest and belly while the tail is twice as long as it's body is. He then gazes at the egg and is stunned at how pure it looks, for an oversized chicken egg. The egg has strange markings on it as if it had been attacked many times, and yet, has not a scratch on it. He also notes the seals that cover it as well, making him worry about Griphyx's life. Blood had been spilt on this egg, a lot of blood. Griphyx rubs the bat's head gently, it's ear horns twitch merrily. He then gazes upon the egg, and see's a light clear aura around it, as if it were more than a simple egg. He reaches out to touch it, but Lupin grabs his wrist. "Stop!" A voice calls out to them. The candles all go alight as a man rushes up to them. He had long black unkempt hair, pale skin, and sickly yellow eyes. "Don't touch those thi-" He stops and stares as the strange bat climbs up and pears over Griphyx's shoulder, while it's tail continues coiling around his neck possessively. The egg hums softly as it floats closer towards Griphyx's outstretched hand. His eyes glow softly and he places the palm of his hand against the side of the egg, which trembles in some sort of glee. The seals all shatter as the aura rages to life, merging with the bat's and Griphyx's own. He watches as the egg moves slightly and pulsates a strange energy that causes all of the red flames become pitch black and rise into the air like flamethrowers with an inner blue and white flame inside the black flames as they give the shop an eerie look. The shopkeeper and Lupin stare in awe and some fear as the air grows chilled, as if a Dementor had just entered the room. They watch as the egg hatches into a strange looking strange looking serpent that has small looking wings that have yet to be defined. It's eyes open and they flash multiple colors, before becoming black and gold with white slit pupils. It makes a yawning noise while there looks to be small looking limbs that have yet to grow. Griphyx pulls the strange serpent close to himself, and allows it to coil around his neck, while the bat perches itself onto his back and looks over his shoulder like a second head. The two make a purring/chirping like sound that sooths the two older men, and the flames return to their bright red and orange like color from before. The bat's tail coils around Griphyx's feminine waist like a belt making him blush slightly, before it clings to his shoulders, while the "snake" seemingly falls asleep around his neck. He looks up at Lupin and the shopkeeper with a curious expression. "Do I keep them?" He asks. The shopkeeper stumbles back and leans against a wall, his eyes wide. Out of nowhere a bright white light shines throughout the corner of the shop. They turn and see a strange looking phoenix hovering before Harry who looks to have just entered the shop with the others. McGonagall not looking all too pleased, but not saying it, yet. "Take them...just...take them..." The shopkeeper mutters out numbly. Harry smiles up at the phoenix which then trills softly and hooks itself onto his shoulders. It's feathers are snow white with black lightning streaks going through them, while it has a "crown" of sorts that looks to be made up of green feathers. Mother Celestia stares in shock. "That's a Royal Phoenix! But, there are so very few! Even in this world!" She gasps out softly. McGonagall gives her a confused glance, as if she were crazy, but then shrugs it off and away from her mind. When she looks back at the two boys, she smiles softly at them as they had found their "pets/familiars" as it had been recommended to do in the Hogwarts letter before school was to start on September 1st. "Well, shall we go to Gringotts and get some coins to pay for all these things?" She asks. Bill nods his head softly. "I can take you there if you so wish." He states. Father Discord grins. "Lead the way, my friend. Lead the way." He chuckles out. Bill nods his head, and motions for them to follow as the make their ways to the magical bank. When they leave, the shopkeepers appearance changes into a strange looking man with a strange mark on his left arm, his eyes wide, while he pants heavily, a large toothy smile going across his lips. "The Dark Lord will love this! I will be greatly rewarded!" He exclaims happily. "Indeed you will, Fenrir." A cold hissing like voice states from behind Fenrir. The werewolf turns around quickly, and his eyes widen as to red eyes stare back at him with small white slits in them. They hold mirth by the barrels. "Master...?!" Fenrir exclaims. The eyes seem to nod. "Indeed, Fenrir. What has just happened here today will reward you greatly, Fenrir! Keep a close eye on my enemy and that boy, make sure that they do not hinder my plansss." He says darkly with his weak hissing voice. Fenrir nods his head dumbly. "It will be done, My Lord." He says with a bow. The red eyes narrow with mirth, before they vanish back into the darkness where they had appeared. Fenrir Greyback pants heavily with excitement, his golden amber eyes glowing with a strange sense of glee. "It WILL be done!!" He states before he himself vanishes into the darkness, the candle flames flicker into nothing but smoke, and the animals to disappear as the shop looks to appear to be empty. A faint sadistic laugh echoes through the shop as it too, vanishes into the darkness of Nocturn Alley. Gringotts Bank Griphyx and the others arrive at a large white building that has a black plaque that says something about thieves would become lost, and would find more than just treasure. He doesn't care all that much, as he is currently staring at the incredibly short long nosed man standing before him. The strange shark like teeth glaring up at him as they glint in the faint light of the sun. He tilts his head to the left, making the strange little man do the same. They stare at each other, before the mini-person squawks in surprise when the bat and "snake" stare down at the man, as if daring him to attack what is theirs. "Hello, Mr. Ragnok!" Bill states loudly with some worry. Ragnok nods his head, though he stares at the two creatures with a most curious gaze. "Good morning, Bill Weasley. Mind explaining why you brought these people here?" Ragnok sneers out with a toothy smile. Bill makes a silent gulp, as if he were preparing to be gutted in just a few seconds. "I bring them here because they ad business to attend to here. Sir." He adds at the end. Ragnok nods his small head, before looking over at Father Discord and sneers. Harry and Griphyx pale conciderably and back away slowly from their father. As the short man -Ragnok- sneers, Father Discord gives his most evil grin possible, making the entire building grow colder than the arctic itself. Ragnok pales as he feels something bare down on him, a pressure of sorts. "I presume you would not be against my family looking into our son's vaults, hm?" Discord asks. Ragnok shakes his head as he pants heavily. "Who...are...they....?" He gasps out when Discord reigns in his magic, allowing all to breath once again. He looks to Harry and Griphyx. "Harry and Griphyx Potter." Father Discord states. He then gazes down at Ragnok, "As well as the Order's vaults. Ragnok?" Discord states softly. Ragnok stares wide eyed at Discord as if he were meeting Merlin himself. "I see, very well. Though Gringotts has no knowledge of a...Griphyx Potter, was it? Hm, curious. Perhaps it is in the Potter's will. Let us head to Griphook to check, shall we?" Ragnok suggests. Discord nods his head, and motions him to lead the way. Ragnok nods and walks through the building with the "small" group following after him, until the Weasley's are stopped and are brought somewhere else, while McGonagall follows the Order's and Grangers. They move into an office where they meet another Goblin with a pointy curved downward nose and shark teeth as well. Griphook stares at the group, and nods his head. "Mr. Potter, we have been expecting you." He states. Harry and Griphyx look at each other, then to Griphook. "Which one of us?" They both ask at the same time. Griphook tilts his head. "I see, so the rumors were true. Well then, let us get on with the inheritance tests. We will be taking blood tests and magic tests to identify you both." Griphook states. Harry nods his head, while Griphyx stays silent. Griphook pulls out a piece of parchment and hands the two boys a small knife. "Just make a small cut and drip your blood onto the parchment, and we will gains the results. The knife is charmed to heal your wounds once the deed is done." He explains. Harry grabs the knife and gently slides the blades tip along his right thumb. He drips some of his blood onto the parchment. He then cleans the knife off, before handing it to Griphyx, who sighs softly, and grabs the blade of the knife. He pulls the knife down roughly and slices the palm of his hand just enough to do this task. When he drips his own blood onto the parchment, his hand heals up completely as steam rises up from his hand. The blood drops soaks into the parchment, and red letters forms. Blood Test Harry James-Lux Potter-Order Birth Father: James Potter New Father: Discord Order Birth Mother: Lilly Nee Evans-Potter New Mother(s): Celestia Order, Nightmare Moon Order, Luna Order Families: Peverell Potters Evans Hufflepuff Griffyndor Orders Race(s): Human Equestrian Blood Test Griphyx Umbra Potter-Order Birth Father: Unknown Birth Mother: Lilly Nee Evans-Potter New Father: Discord Order New Mother(s): Nightmare Moon Order, Luna Order, Celestia Order Families: Orders Evans Slytherin Ravenclaw Unknown Race(s): Human Equestrian Griphook looks up at the family before him, and see's Griphyx's confused look while Harry has a thoughtful look. "What did it mean by "Unknown" for Griphyx's birth father and other family? Also, Slytherin? Ravenclaw? Who are those people?" Harry asks. Griphook grins at the boys curiosity. "Ravenclaw and Slytherin are two of the founders for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Just as Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are the other founders as well." He states Discord gains a thoughtful look. "I see, so, they both own half of this school, correct?" He asks. Griphook and Ragnok both nod their heads lightly, before they hand over another parchment. "Next, shall be the magic test, and after that an inheritance test, but that will come later. Please, both of you focus your magic into this parchment so that we can gauge just what you have." Griphook states. Harry and Griphyx both grab the parchment, and focus their magic into it. On Harry's half, it seems to become charred as if an intense heat hit is, while strange lightning like designs form into strange looking runes. On Griphyx's half, however, the paper becomes covered in dense fog, as if a bitter cold had just touched it, while markings of clouds, the oceans and such form into strange runes. Griphook nods and takes the parchment from the brother. Magic Test Harry James-Lux Potter-Order Parselmouth 70% blocked Equestrian Magic 70% unlocked Light Magic 60% unlocked Grey Magic 50% unlocked Order Magic 60% unlocked Elemental Magic 79% unlocked Wandless Magic 40% unlocked Natural Born Animagus 30% unlocked Natural Metamorphmagus 23% unlocked Magic Test Griphyx Umbra Potter-Order Parselmouth 78% unlocked Equestrian Magic 80% unlocked Dark Magic 50% blocked Grey Magic 50% unlocked Chaos Magic 70% unlocked Elemental Magic 60% unlocked Wandless Magic 40% unlocked Natural Born Animagus 70% unlocked Natural Born Metamorphmagus 63% unlocked Griphyx and Harry stare at the sheet of parchment with curious looks as they wonder just what it is they are looking at. McGonagall looks over the sheet, and she stumbles slightly at their magical prowess. 'Their Metamorphmagus and Animagus!? But that doesn't make sense! And Equestrian Magic? What is this "Equestrian" thing? I better keep an eye on them. Knowing as to who Harry is, but Griphyx looks to be more od a danger. "Dark Magic" is at 50 percent being blocked? That seems slightly worrying, but, at least it goes into the "Grey Magic" percentage.' McGonagall thinks to herself. She looks over the parchment once again, and nods, resolving that she would indeed speak with their parents about this situation. Griphook and Ragnok nod their heads, before taking back the sheet, and pulling out the blood stained parchment. The red ink changes into the inheritance test. Inheritance Test Harry James-Lux Potter-Order Peverell Family Vaults: 72,678,906,432 Galleons, 4,500,602 Sickles, 304 Knuts Peverell Manor: Northern Whales Potter Family Vaults: 9,876,534,300 Galleons, 600,034 Sickles, 24 Knuts Potter Manor Evans Family Vaults: 2,506,409 Galleons, 200,708 Sickles, 34 Knuts Number 4 Privet Drive Gryffindor Family Vaults: 50,435,890,004 Galleons, 800,098 Sickles, 56 Knuts Gryffindor Castle Hogwarts School/Castle ownership: 25% Hufflepuff Family Vaults: 21,458,604,09 Galleons, 700,009 Sickles, 87 Knuts Hufflepuff Castle Hogwarts School/Castle ownership: 25% Magic Test Griphyx Umbra Potter-Order Evans Family Vaults: 2,506,409 Galleons, 200,708 Sickles, 34 Knuts Number 4 Privet Drive Slytherin Family Vaults: 42,506,709,405 Galleons, 300,654 sickles, 12 Knuts Slytherin Castle Hogwarts School/Castle ownership: 25% Ravenclaw Family Vaults: 3,890,602,003 Galleons, 100,304 Sickles, 50 Knuts Ravenclaw Castle Hogwarts School/Castle ownership: 25% Unknown The brother stare at the parchment in awe, before confusion, and then recognition. The look up at the Goblins. "We own the school?" Harry asks. Ragnok nods his head lightly with a sharp toothy grin. "Indeed you do, Mr. Potters. Now then, shall we answer any questions you two may have?" Griphook asks. Harry nods. "Why are certain things blocked?" He asks. Griphook looks over the sheet once again, and nods his head as if wondering the same thing. He then looks up at Father Discord with an expectant look. "You would have to ask your father about that one, Mr. Potters." Griphook answers. Harry and Griphyx look up at Discord who sighs softly. "I unlocked your abilities, but they soon blocked themselves, as to protect yourselves. Your magic had deemed it unwise to unlock everything immediately, so, over time during your training, you had been unlocking them ever so slowly. Had I had my way, nothing would be blocked, but, unfortunately, or fortunately in this case, your magic blocked certain things as to make sure you wouldn't deal with any magical overload." Discord explains. The brother nod their heads, before they look back to the Goblins who clear their throats. "Now then, the Wills will need to be done another time, as well as looking into the Vaults. Would you two like to link your Vaults together into one giant one? If so, then, it will take up to two weeks for the process to be finished. You both share a trust fund, so you have that to help pay for whatever your needs are." Griphook states. "Let's fuse them together, so that they won't have to deal with constantly moving from one Vault to another." Discord states. Ragnok nods his head and gives them all a toothy grin. "Very well, Lord Order. Now, about your titles, shall you both accept your rings?" Ragnok asks. Griphyx and Harry nod their heads lightly, though confusedly. "Very well." He states as Griphook lifts two boxes, and plops them onto the desk. "These boxes hold your titles, or, "rings" as they are called. They will merge into one if you so wish." Griphook explains as he takes the lids off. Harry reaches into his box and pulls out his rings: one has a lion on it, the next has a badger, the third has a triablge surrounding a circle and wand on it, the fourth being shield. When Harry places them all onto his left middle finger, they merge into one ring that looks like an Alicorn. He nods his head and gazes down at it. Griphyx pulls out a ring with a snake on it, a ring with a raven, a ring with a flower on it, and an unmarked ring. He places them all onto his right pointer finger, where they all merge into one ring with a dragon like creature on the top, much like Harry's Alicorn. He nods his head in thanks and remains silent. Ragnok grins while Griphook seems to smile at the brother. "Congratulations. We will notify you both once the Vaults are merged together. For now, have a nice day." Ragnok states. Discord then clears his throat. "There is another matter that we are here for, Ragnok." He states. The Goblin pales and nods his head rapidly, making it look like a blur. "Yes, Lord Order!" Ragnok squawks out. Discord nods and places his hands atop Griphyx and Harry's heads lightly. "It involves these two. I am positive that you know what I am asking of. Correct?" He rumbles out softly. Ragnok nods his head and has one of the Goblin Guards escort McGonagall out of the office quietly and "politely". "Yes sir, it involves them becoming part of the Order Vaults, correct?" He asks. Discord nods his head tightly. "That's right. Please, get on with it, we have many things that MUST be done soon." He urges. Ragnok nods his head and looks at the bothers. "You two have now been added to the Order Vaults, which will also be fused with your own. Your Order Rings shall be finished when the Vaults are finished as well. Have a nice day." Ragnok tells the two brother, who nod their heads and leave the office with their "group". Once they leave, Ragnok lets out a stuttering breath of fear and lets his shoulders sag slightly, while Griphook's eyes roll into the back of his head, and promptly passes the hell out. Both are unaware of Discord faint laughter that echoes through the room softly. Diagon Alley Griphyx stands with his brother and family who speak about the wonders of whatever. He is currently rubbing his "snakes" head while his bat purrs into his neck affectionately. He smiles softly down at them, before something catches his eyes. He turns and see's a girl with icy blue eyes, and thin blonde hair. She stands next to a man with shoulder length blonde hair with a strange necklace resting against his chest. They both were black robes as they leave some sort of robing shop. The blonde haired girl looks over to see Griphyx gazing at her, and she blushes softly and gives him a dreamy looking smile, before a ponce of a boy rushes out of the shop with a long haired man wielding a cane with a silver snake head for a grip barrels through them. Griphyx's eyes widen and he dashes forward, catching the girl around her waist, making her blush more. The two lock eyes and she gains a dreamier expression. "Oh, hello~." She says dreamily. Griphyx blushes, but smiles all the same. "Hey, are you okay, miss...?" He asks. "Luna. I'm Luna Lovegood." Luna states with a dreamy look that never seems to leave her pretty face. He inwardly shakes his head. Did he just think her pretty? Well, she does have a pretty look about her. And she does smell lovely. "Um, I'm Griphyx Potter-Order. Miss Lovegood." Griphyx says softly. Luna smiles more and nods her head. He helps her get back to her feet, and she is then pulled away by what he could only assume is her father. "See you at Hogwarts, Griphyx~!" Luna calls out dreamily before she and her strange father are consumed by the crowd of busting wizards and witches. Griphyx shakes his head lightly, before returning back to his group, as they continue to go to all the shops. He can't seem to stop thinking about what he had seen when he touched his new wand, however, as it seemed to confuse him. 'Why so many bone fragments placed into one single wand? Oh well, must be a human thing.' He thinks to himself as he and his family prepares to leave for the Order Manor. Order Manor Griphyx enters his room and plops down with a huff. He looks over to the side and see's his bat and "snake" curled up next to each other up against his side. He smiles lightly, before sleep takes him into custody for the night. Author's Note Not very detailed, neh? Oh well, hope you all liked it! See yah next time! Ja ne! Chapter 4THE TWO POTTERS CHAPTER FOUR By: Vladimir A/N: "Normal Speech" 'Thoughts' Spells Magic Speak Order Compound Griphyx opens his eyes, and moves groggily as Mother Nightmare shakes him gently awake. He stares up at her in slight confusion, before he remembers that Lupin was coming over for dinner in a few hours. He looks over at the clock next to his bed, and see's that it's 4:31 in the afternoon. 'I've been asleep for four and half hours?' He wonders to himself as he gets to his feet. Look over, he see's his bat and "snake" curled up against each other on his second pillow that was placed by his side. 'Cute.' He thinks to himself as he rubs their heads gently, before the sound of the door closing reaches his hearing. Looking back, he notes that his mother had left the room, presumably for him to get changed He sighs softly, before he allows his clothes to drop to the carpeted floor. Moving over to his closer, he pulls out black jeans, a tight black short-sleeved shirt and then a black and white three tailed coat with a hood on the back. His wand holster is then placed onto his left hip like one would a sword if one were to be right handed. He looks around his closet and finds a pair of white socks, which he puts on, and then soon after he pulls on a pair of boots. He moves to look into the mirror, and he wonders if he can change his appearance. He focuses on his old hair color, and watches in awe as the moon white gains streaks of bright orange and black. He grins into the mirror, before looking over at his pile of Hogwarts books, and wonders if he should practice his wand magic. 'Why not?' He shrugs, and moves over to the top one. He skips the title of the book and lips through the index. The words form onto the pages, and he cocks his head to the side. 'Transfiguration? Do they mean changing something into another thing entirely?' He wonders. Looking through the pages, he notes how odd wizards are to wave their wands around and speak incantations, instead of simply waving it while thinking of the magical word or formula. 'Oh well, not my job to judge the texts.' He thinks to himself. Turning left, he waves his wand around three times clockwise, before waving it once counter clockwise and then tapping his pillow, changing it into a stuffed cat animal that he had seen in the toy stores a few months back. He waves his wand once more, canceling the spell. 'Wand magic doesn't seem all that hard, then again, I never had to say the spells instead of just doing them...' He thinks to himself. Getting to his feet, he stretches his arms and legs as he slips the wand back into the holster once again. He spins on his heal, making the tails of his coat bellow in the soft draft of air. He picks up his "snake" and allows it to coil around his neck, while his bat clings to his back, it's tail coiled around his hips acting like a belt of sorts. He moves out of his room and into the hallway. Slipping his hands into his pockets, he walks down the corridors of the building he called home. Minutes pass him by as he finally reaches the main room where his family, Hermione and her family are all sitting in around a longer table than usual. 'It's funny how dad decided to have my friend and her family stay here with us, Faust knows we have enough bloody room.' He thinks to himself. He moves towards the table, more specifically, his chair that sits across from Hermione's, while being next to Harry, who is on Mother Celestia's right. His chair looks more like a throne, however, as it looks to be made out of some sort of metal, instead of wood or rock. Looking up, he notices that Hermione's hair is straight instead of bushy and puffy. Her eyes seem to glow with light and love as she looks around the room in wonder. He smiles softly at her, which she returns, though her cheeks are slightly pink. He goes to ask what is wrong, the door opens, and the guests enter the room. He turns to see Lupin, Bill, Fred and George. The four of them look around in awe. 'Have they not seen human technology before?' He wonders. "Ah! Lupin! Bill! The twins! How lovely of you four to arrive!" Father Discord exclaims with a broad smile. Lupin nods his head to Discord, and sits in the hair in front of him, which so happens to be at the end of the table, looking right at Discord, who sits at the head of the table. Bill sits on Lupin's left, while the twins sit on either side of them. Griphyx turns and looks up at his father as he begins to speak again, "Welcome to our abode, did you enjoy the ride here?" He asks. Lupin eyes Father Discord strangely. "Indeed, though it is rather curious, as to how we were brought before this building like a portkey, but there were no runes on the gem whatsoever. Please, explain to me how you did that?" He asks. Discord's smiles turns into a serious expression. "I'm afraid I can't, not unless you four take an oath as to make sure that nothing we tell you can leave your lips or mind." He states. Lupin blinks at Discord in wonder. He narrows his eyes at the giant man before him, the he sets his gaze upon Griphyx, who moves awkwardly for some strange reason. "I see. Very well." Lupin states as he looks back up at Discord. "Wonderful! But, what of the rest of you?" Father Discord asks with a suspicious look gracing his features. Bill nods his head, while Fred and George's heads are nothing but blurs of agreement. He grins, "Wonderful indeed!" He chuckles mockingly. He watches as the four before him do a magical oath and life oath as to never reveal their secrets unless one of the Orders allows it. As soon as they are finished, he grins. Out of the left corner of the room, Nightmare enters from the shadows, where she then sits next to Discord on his right, while in a flash of light, Celestia sits at his left, while Luna appears in her chair at Celestia's right. The candles die, before reigniting to life with black and white flickering flames that burn brightly, casting more shadows that dance across the room. Lupin stares at the four beings sitting before him with wide eyes as the room becomes heavy with magical power that presses down upon all. His head drops onto the table, making a loud THUNK while doing so. Bill and the twins physically drop from their seats, and onto the floor. Just as fast as the pressure appeared, it disappears into the air itself, allowing the four visitors to regain their postures. The setting sunlight bathes the room in an eerie orange color that adds to the effect of them all being of a different tier all together. "We are not humans, Mr. Lupin. We are FAR older than you could even you could imagine!" Discord states calmly as he snaps his fingers, making food and drink appear onto the long table in a flash of light. "Magic is indeed a wonderful tool. I do so hate to see it wasted. But, alas, it has been dwindling since we came here." He looks up at the four guests, "It is a terrible thing, evil users of magic. But, I do not control them, nor the other races on this earth. That is for them to decide." Discord says softly. "What exactly are you then?" Fred asks while George nods in agreement, apparently unable to speak at the moment. Discord grins at him, before he becomes transparent, and vanishes. "Oh~! How you would love to know~!" Discord's voice echoes throughout the room as if he were a ghost. "I am Chaos itself~! I can bend the universe to my every whim~! If I were to wish you to be a frog, you'd be one~!" He chuckles out "I don't believe you could do that! Nothing can have that sort of power, transfiguration, yes, but most certainly not what you spread lies about now! It's impossible!!" Lupin exclaims loudly as he slams a fist down onto the table. "Impossible, eh~? I see...~! Then Perhaps I should show you~!" A skeletal hand grabs George's chin, making him look left at a decaying version of Discord with massive fangs. George shrieks in fright as his hair turns white and spikes up. Fred, Bill and Lupin flip around to see a large figure in a suite with no face and black tentacles swishing around through the air. "Hm~! Hm~! Hm~! So do you think I am not capable of doing what I wish NOW~?!" The creature sinks into the shadows after dropping George into Fred's lap. The four look around, only to be blinded by a bright white light. When the light dies, they see Discord sitting in his seat once again. Lupin stares at him with wide frightened eyes, while the Weasley's seem to have passed out from the...strenuous situation. He rolls his eyes. "Oh please, that barely had Harry and Griphyx scared! Even the h-...muggles, saw that as interesting. Did you know that there is a rumor about a "Slender Mane"! Or is it "Slender MAN"? Hm... Oh well, point is, I "borrowed" that form from one of my brothers." He says thoughtfully. Remus stares in utter shock. 'His brother!? How!? No human or even normal creature could become that! What is HE!?' Remus questions within his mind. Discord grins wryly at Lupin. "I am not a normal "creature", nor a "human". But something much, MUCH more. Something you may just respect, or hate, or fear. Though, "Fear" is ruled by one of my younger brothers," he sighs and shakes his head with an old and sad look in his eyes, "he is gone, and has been since he was...stopped....by my best of friends. Only one of them still lives to this day, but he is more like a son to me, but I have two son's now, two son's I love dearly." Discord says as he glances at Griphyx and Harry, who both smiles at him, he smiles back. He turns back to Lupin, "But, he is still unknown of just WHERE he is. I can feel his life force burning strongly, and yet, he eludes us." He sighs out sadly. Celestia places a firm yet gentle hand onto Discord's own. "Don't worry love, he'll return to us soon, I can feel it. I also have a hunch as to WHY he will return to us..." She says as she sends a side glance at Griphyx, making Discord's eyes widen, and a wide smirk to form. "I see, well then, let us prepare for that day later. For now, we eat." He states. The Weasley's nod their heads and go to eat, but stop, as Lupin looks around the table for something, but doesn't seem to find it. "Where's the meat?" He asks. Celestia, Luna, and Nightmare seem to stumble slightly, while Discord sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. "*sigh* If you MUST know, we only eat meat every once a week. I am sorry if it is not up to par with your own...menu's, I suppose." Discord states. Lupin nods his head. "I see, so, you all eat it once a week?" He asks. Discord shakes his head as he waves towards the princesses. "No, these three eat vegetables, as if important, while I prefer to be omnivorous, while Harry is similar to his mothers, while Griphyx seems to take after all of us, as well as having a nack for gem candy." Discord says knowingly at Griphyx, who blushes as if he had been caught with his hand in a cookie jar. "I-I'm sorry! I just can't NOT eat them! Besides, they are also part of me and help my mineral magic grow stronger! You know that!" Griphyx defends himself with a huff. Celestia giggles. "Oh, yes, I remember my faithful students assistant told me that exact thing, all those years ago." She says with a small sigh. Discord pats her hand gently. "It's okay love, he was a dear friend to me as well." He says. Celestia nods her head softly, before looking back at the now eating guests, as they watch the family speak of their pasts. "What are you-" "Guys though-" "Really?!" both Fred and George ask at the same time. Luna giggles at their antics. "They do remind us of "her"." She says softly. Discord nods as he gains a small, genuine smile. "Indeed they do, love, indeed they do. And to answer your question, we're-" "Gods." Nightmare says, cutting Discord off as she takes bite of steamed carrot pie. Lupin stares, while Bill, Fred and George break out laughing. They soon stop when no one else from the other side of the table laughs. "Your SERIOUS!?" The three of them exclaim at the same time. Discord merely smirks, as he motions for Nightmare to keep taking the reigns. She smirks back as she waves a hand through the air, making a miniature full-moon forms above their heads along with actual clouds and wind. Lupin groans softly, before he feels a finger touch his chest. He looks down, to see Nightmare poking him in the center of his chest, black mist flowing around his form. "I don't desire for one of my dogs to appear tonight. Go back to slumber, Moony~!" Her voice says softly with a strange echo. Lupin then feels his "inner wolf" recede back into his mind, and he pants out of slight pain and shock. "h-How?" He asks. Nightmare grins. "I am the Goddess of the Night, Dreams, and Queen of the Dark. Being what I am, means all manner of "Dark" beings, or "creatures of the night", as you mortals say, are much like my children, in a way." She states before sipping out of a black goblet filled with some sort of bluish liquid that has fog frothing over the top. Remus blinks before slumping back in his chair, shock present on his face as her words seem to sink in. "And what of you three?" Bill asks. Celestia smiles, "I am the Goddess of the Sun, Day, Light Magic, as well as being the "Queen of the Light". But, being royalty is so long ago, I doubt any mortals would even have any Manu scriptures of our time as rulers." She says with a mock thoughtful expression. Luna giggles and nods her head, before speaking, "I am the Goddess of the Night, Neutrality, Neutral Magic, and was once called the "Queen of the Night" and "Queen of Neutrality". The first I can understand, but the second? Hah! I hardly understand that one!" She says while being mock serious. They nod their heads and then look to Discord, who grins widely. "I am the god of Chaos Magic, Chaos itself, Spirit of Disharmony, and I was once called "The King of Pranks", but, alas, that was FAR too long ago for any normal mortal to remember." Discord says sagely. Fred and George as well as Lupin stare in awe as if their god had just appeared before them with never ending prank bags. He grins at them. "So, do I detect a few tricksters in you three?" He asks knowingly. Fred and George nod their heads as they pull out an odd spare piece of parchment folded up. Remus' eyes widen in surprise, before he regains his "composure". Discord takes the parchment from the twins and waves a hand over it, making strange looking rings with runes on the inside form over the parchment. He nods his head before placing it down onto the table ad pushing it towards Lupin. "I believe you should know that while I applaud you and your comrades for making this map, Moony, that you should have made it harder to unlock. I mean really! Even a young Unicorn could have figured out how to unlock it!" He chuckles out. Lupin raises a brow. "How does a horned horse know how to do anything magical?" He asks. Discord growls deeply within his throat. "They are the only "mortals" besides a few others that still live today from our kingdom, far before mankind was even around!" Discord states matter-of-factly. Lupin nods his head dumbly. "May I ask what they truly look like then? Even in our Ministry we can't seem to figure it out. We can tell there is a powerful charm placed on them, but we can't figure it out." He says. Celestia snorts softly. "That's because I am the one who placed the spell onto them. Only they, or one of us can lower it for whatever reason. I placed spells onto the earth and Pegasus as well to hide their secrets. Just as the Dragon King's placed spells upon their races to keep their secrets hidden as well. Griffin's and many other races have all done this with our help, as we were part of the very few around in the beginning." Celestia chuckles out softly, her motherly tone brings smiles to all their faces. "I see, then I guess that we have much to learn from you all then, hm?" He asks. Discord shakes his head. "No, humans are not ready to find out about us yet, at least, for now. The time soon approaches of when and where we will reveal ourselves, but it is not for a time." Luna states harshly. Lupin nods his had in odd understanding. "I see, well, this is all still very fascinating!" He states giddily. They begin to eat once again, though they still speak, it is of simple things, such as what Hogwarts is like, or what is to be expected of a certain grease bat of a potions master. After dinner, the large group moves towards the back of the manor, where the guests stare in awe at the large forest before them. The trees stand tall like castle spires of Hogwarts. They look around, seeing wilderness that had yet to be touched by mankind and it's power to destroy. Lupin looks back and see's Griphyx standing next to Hermione, who is making the wind spin around her hand in a miniature tornado. 'She can control the wind?' The guests think to themselves. Their eyes leave their skulls, as Harry makes a small condensed fireball form at his fingertips, while Griphyx looks completely normal from them. He lifts a brow. "Something wrong, Mr. Lupin?" Griphyx asks. Lupin points at Harry and Hermione. "How are they doing that?" He asks. Griphyx gives him an odd look, before his eyes show realization, and nods his head. "Magic." He states simply as his back becomes covered into ice raven wings that spread out widely. "Equestrian Magic." He grins out at the four humans before him. Lupin nods his head, before gaining a thought. "How about a demonstration? To show us how Equestrian Magic is done?" Remus asks. Discord claps his hands loudly, startling the group. "What a wonderful idea! Griphyx! Harry! And Hermione! How about you three show your...abilities in a duel?" He hisses out proudly as Amy and Dan stand next to the princesses. Hermione huffs softly and rolls her eyes, before appearing between her parents. Harry smirks as a black and green aura and flames burst off and around his body, while Griphyx gains a black and blue aura and waves. Their hair grows longer and becomes spikier as they seem to defy gravity as they wave around through a ethereal wind. Harry swings his arms outward, making a small foot deep crater form around him, while Griphyx lets his shoulders drop, making a deeper crater by a few feet form around him as the waves rage and whip about as it they were alive. They stare at each other before dashing forward, and locking hands with each other. The flames and waves roar loudly while the wind picks up around Harry and Griphyx. They push each other back. Harry stops himself while Griphyx spins around in a circle before stopping. They stare off once more before the flames around Harry turn into strange tendrils that flow into his body giving him a stronger aura before that too flows back into his body. The waves and aura do the same to Griphyx but as the two collide, a flicker of lightning flashes overhead as rain starts to drip down. Harry dashes forward summoning a flame sword that resembles a claymore. He swings it down at Griphyx, who side steps before sweep kicking Harry's feet out from under him. He then knees Harry in the side knocking him into the air, before Harry starts to spin through the air, Griphyx jumps upwards a few feet and delivers an axe kick. Harry manages to block the kick with the flat of the sword, sending him down onto the ground hard. Griphyx then spins through the air and sends another kick down at his older brother, who parries his kick and jabs him in the chest. He sails through the air before slamming into a tree, cracking sounds can be heard all around. Harry rushes forward and stabs with the flame claymore, but it is shattered by Griphyx's palm towards the tip of the "blade". He jumps back and whips his wrist, making a fire whip form and coil around Griphyx's legs. He pulls downwards, the whip dragging his younger brother down the tree, splintering it heavily as it drops to the ground with a thunderous BOOM! Griphyx kicks his leg, making the whip shatter, and jumps up over Harry's head. He spins around kicking him in the back, making the older Potter brother fall face first into the dirt. He lands on his feet, and throws a blue ball of magic, which expands to the size of a full grown man, with the power of a mini-cyclone. Harry groans softly as he rises to his feet, his shirt torn to bits as small rings cover is right arm. He smirks, "Really did a good job with the wind magic, brother." His arm heals in a flash of steam. Griphyx raises a hand up before him while Harry does the same. "Let's finish this, brother!!" Harry roars out as a red and green and black lightning beam jets out at Griphyx. Griphyx fires out a black, blue and white colored lightning beam which collides with Harry's. Harry's face becomes covered with a strange mask that resembles an Alicorn's face, while Griphyx resembles the same but with fangs and a serrated horn. The whites of Harry's eyes turns black and the emerald turns golden, while Griphyx's whites become sickly green almost black, and the blue a haunting blue with purple shapes circling around the pupil. Their beams crash against each other, and a small wall white ball forms between the two. They pump more and more of their magic into their beams, making the ball move from side to side, before it explodes, sending the two brothers flying. Harry slams into Lupin, while Griphyx into Hermione. "That is enough now, boys. Now please, rest." Discord orders as he snaps his fingers, repairing all the damage that was once caused. He turns to Lupin with a smirk. "Better than you expected?" He asks. Lupin nods his head dumbly. "So much power in such simple movements, are they capable of doing more?" He asks. Discord bellows his laughter, "All of that, and so much more, much, MUCH more than you could imagine!" He hisses out proudly. He turns on his heel. "Breakfast will begin at Eight-Thirty in the morning. Sweet dreams~!" His voice echoes as the four guests become drowsy, and promptly see nothing more. Author's Note Short but sweet, aye? Oh well, see yeh next time ya'll! Ja ne!
PrologueKey notes: "Normal Speaking" - 'Thoughts' - Spells - Magic Voice HGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG The children at the age of four- one tall and one short, run through the snow covered streets of London as fast as they can to get to school. Their names are, Griphyx and Harry Potter's. And they are being late to school thanks to their "family". They had apparently done something wrong and were to being punished by forcing the two to be late for burning their aunts precious "Dudykins' bacon". Not that the child needed anymore. Harry being the shorter of the two brothers was -for whatever reason- was tasked with cooking the family bacon while Griphyx was forced to deal with the laundry -again for whatever reason, it was beyond them- and both had screwed up considerably as the bacon and eggs -and somehow the toast- was burnt while the laundry overflowed with water and they distasteful soap that Petunia oh so loves to use. They were laid into by Vernon -their whale of a "uncle" with seven chins! SEVEN!- with Dudley's smelting stick from his academy, while the two were forced to stand their and take it like "good little freaks", as their aunt would say. Harry would simply become stoic and unresponsive, while Griphyx, he wasn't so lucky. He is generally the one who gets the beatings while Harry is forced to watch his little brother -only by an hour from what Petunia had spat out in their faces were they to ever figure it out- for him looking so much different, and to the Dursley's, terrifying. While Harry had black hair down to his shoulders, pale-ish skin and stunning emerald green eyes that seemed to welcome you into them, Griphyx, was the opposite. Very opposite. His skin was unhealthily pale the color of snow with a tint of grey to it, his hair looks like a fiery brown that spikes up in all manners of directions. His eyes were the most terrifying part of him, however, as they were a bright sky blue with sharp pupils that remind many others of a cat's eyes, however, the whites of his eyes are darker, and even change into dark green bordering black whenever his emotions would fluctuate for whatever reason. While Harry had a barely muscular figure, Griphyx was more feminine as well as being taller and lengthy while keeping his figure no matter how little he were to ever drink or eat, along with his no muscle look, and yet, he has more strength than Harry does, and a mean streak when angered beyond what should ever be done to anyone. The two were twins, though you wouldn't be able to figure that out by the first glance. Once you set aside their obvious differences, they are pure twins, same body type -even thought Griphyx is taller by an inch-. The two move as fast as they can to try and even get to their school which is quite a few miles away. Damn those people, is all the two could even think as they continued to speed across the icy, snow covered sidewalk. The then bump into a tall man wearing a large brown and black coat, brown and green pants sewn together. His eyes are yellow, red, and the pupil being bright white. His hair on the right side is black while the left is grey, and on his chin is a white goatee. Around him are three women that look similar to each other, except that one has sun blonde hair, the second has midnight purple hair, and the third has raven colored hair. All three women's hair comes down to their mid-backs while all wearing similar dresses but are the same color as their hair with the picture of a sun, a blue crescent moon surrounded by midnight purple clouds, and a ash white crescent moon surrounded by matte black clouds. "Sorry sir!" Harry mutters out before grabbing his brothers hand and keeps running. DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Discord had been walking around with his wives, Celestia Order, Nightmare Moon Order, and Luna Order. He had been having a nice calm conversation about what they should do to occupy their time since they had left Equestria. However, that conversation was cut short when two small -though one was a few inches taller than the other- children who were sprinting. "Sorry sir." The short boy muttered out with unmistakable fear in his eyes, before grabbing his companions hand and bolting as fast as they could. So fast, that, Discord could feel a small gust of wind slam into him and even make him take a have and inch step back. He stared at their retreating forms, not in anger, not in question. But studied them. And his blood boiled over the edge. Not from that manner of running, or the looks of fear in those boys faces. No, because he manage to catch a glimpse of their arms, legs and neck just underneath their clothing when they fell. The bruises on the smaller child, while their were scars on the taller. So many scars. He growled in rage, before becoming shocked. He felt a presence that these humans should not be capable of possessing. Magic. But a more feral magic. The two of them seemed to be brothers from how powerful the magical bonds between the two brothers was. It made him sick and overly pissed off to see to young children in such physical conditions -let alone how starved they looked-. He looked to his wives, and they equally looked royally pissed off. Must have seen the boys conditions, just as he had. "Shall I trace their magical signatures, my Princesses?" He asks with a calm, yet taunting tone of voice. Celestia nods her head, making her perfect golden hair toss around. Discord waves his right hand over where the boys had fallen, and two magical lines form. He looks back at his wives who nod their heads. The four of them flickered with the sound of fingers snapping, and the air to shudder. HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG School had ended for the Potter brothers, and it was another part of their living hell. The had no one but each other thanks to Dudley who had been scaring all of the other children away from Harry, while they would completely ignore Griphyx, who would constantly be in trouble for their teachers simple mindedness. Harry marches along with Griphyx who is whimpering softly and trying to be quiet, just as Vernon had "taught" him. Harry looks over and watches his little -yet tall- brother hug himself in absolute fear. Griphyx had gotten a note or "referral" from their bitch of a teacher, Ms. Crabgrass -both thought her name was stupid-. Harry took the liberty of reading the note, and he froze. The bitch was lying, she knew how cruel the Dursley's were to the brothers, especially now since the winter break was just starting! The second Griphyx read the note, he had gone into a panic and lost all sense of his mind as he sprinted off towards their hiding place where they knew they couldn't be found. Harry chases after his brother. He keeps pace as best he can with is a few feet behind as he sprints towards the woods just behind Surrey where Privet Drive was located. The two keep running until they get deep into the forest panting. Harry looks at Griphyx and raises a brow. "Why are you freaking out?" He asks softly. Griphyx whimpers and trembles uncontrollably. Harry gives his brother a sad look before wrapping his arms around his brothers shoulders and bringing him in close so he can cry in his chest. Griphyx clings to Harry and shudders as sobs rack his body. Harry feels his chest becoming increasingly wet before sighing softly and sadly before he rubs his brother head soothingly. Griphyx sobs harder, but freezes up as a hand gently rubs circles in his back. Griphyx turns his head slightly and see's one of the woman from before that was with that strange man. Her hair is different. No, wait. It's actually changing colors, ranging from sun gold, to the borealis lights he had read about in school. "Are you okay, dear child?" The woman asks. Griphyx nods his head lightly before she gives him a soft smile. Her eyes are magenta colored that glow as bright as the sun. Her skin is tanned but still light in color. She easily makes Griphyx look like a child, as she appears to look like a giant -from the two's point of view- and she smells of lavender. "Why are you two out here, all alone? Is something the matter?" She asks. The genuine concern in her voice makes Griphyx release from Harry, and latch onto her instead. Harry freezes, fearing that she'll treat him like many of the adults that have followed the lies that those beasts had spewed out, about how he was a true freak of nature, a monster. But he isn't. Different, yes, but most certainly not a monster, nor a freak. "Shhh..." The woman says softly into Griphyx ear as she lets him sob into her rather chest. Harry blushes and shakes his head clear of such thoughts. Where had they even came from? He files them away before looking back behind him, and he see's the others three standing there, patiently, quietly. "Everything is alright now, child." He hears the woman say softly. Griphyx looks up at the woman, and she gasps as the whites of his eyes are pitch block and his golden orbs are shaky as more tears threaten to break from their dams before she wipes his eyes gently with a thumb. He finches slightly at her touch. Her eyes become hard as she catches a glimpse of a bruise on he crook of his neck. She rises to her feet and pulls him up as well. Discord looks at his wife Celestia with a raised brow, before he shivers from her hard look. "I see..." He mumbles out softly. Harry looks at the man curiously. Discord gives the boys a smile. "You two look hungry, would you like to get something to eat?" He asks. Griphyx and Harry's stomachs roar in acceptance, making the two boys wince and give out whimpers of pain. Discord picks Harry up in his arms gently, as to not freak the poor boy out. "I'll take that as a yes." He says. Harry eyes Discord warily. 'Why does he help us? Is he new or something?' Harry wonders. Discord smiles softly before Griphyx and Harry are shocked at how they just appeared in what looks to be a entrance to a large home. Griphyx looks around with wide eyes. Celestia giggles and rubs Griphyx back gently. "Big, isn't it?" She asks. Griphyx nods his head softly. "It looks amazing." He says in awe before whimpering and shuddering as hunger rips through him. His pupils dilate as he moves into Celestia's form, gripping her tightly. She gains a sad look and makes soft circles on his back in hopes of calming him down. Griphyx slowly begins to calm down before they are led towards what looks to be a dining room. A large brown wooden table that looks to be a meter -possibly two- with rows of chairs on either side of them. Harry notices the colors of the rooms being bright red and orange. The carpet is dark ruby red and plush enough to fall asleep on. He even tests his theories as he allows himself to plummet down to earth and face plant onto the soft carpet. Discord begins to panic but said panic soon subsides and he sighs in relief as Harry rolls around on the incredibly soft carpet from heaven. "Are you enjoying the carpet..." "Fr- Er, Harry" Discord looks to Griphyx. "And you?" He asks. "Mon-" He shakes his head, tears fly though the air before looking at Discord. "Griphyx, sir." He says with a soft voice that sounds as if he had been screaming out for some strange reason. Discord nods his head. "I am Discord Order. And these are my wives, Celestia Order," he motions to the woman holding Griphyx, "Luna Order," motioning to the woman next to Harry, "and Nightmare Moon Order." He says while wrapping an arm around Nightmare's waist and keeping her by his side gently. "It is nice to finally meet you two, but I believe it is time to eat? Nightmare dear, did you get the food prepared?" Discord asks. The boys watch as Nightmare nods her head and motions to the plates and cups full of food and drink that were most certainly not there before. Harry stares in shock before looking at the adults in the room. "When did this happen?" He asks. Discord and Nightmare share a look before nodding. "When you were on the floor and Griphyx in Celestia's arms, Luna and Nightmare each brought the things out and laid them onto the table." Discord explains. Harry nods his head lightly before moving and sitting down in one of the chairs while Griphyx sits next to him as close as he can. "Thank you." Griphyx says softly. Discord gives them soft smiles as do Nightmare, Luna and Celestia who sits across from the brother. "No problem what so ever. Now, please, enjoy yourselves." Discord says. The brothers nod their heads and begin eating the strange looking dishes that have very little meat -if at all- and they are surprised that there is none of the disgusting grease or fat at all with any of the food. "This is wonderful, thank you." Harry compliments softly. Nightmare smiles tenderly at him. "Thanks for the compliments." She says with the bow of her head. She then realizes that Griphyx is hardly touching the food. "Is something wrong?" She asks with a concerned tone. Griphyx's head snaps up, before gaining a sad look. "I'm sorry, but, I can't even eat most of the stuff on my plate..." He whimpers out, fearing that they will lash out at him. He grows surprised when Nightmare gives a mothering smile and pats his hand gently. "That's fine, sweetie. Just eat as much as you can, okay?" She asks. He gives her a soft smile and nods his head before going back to his steamed vegetables. The meal passes on in silence, though Griphyx feels terrible as he had managed to eat more than half of his plate before getting full. He watches his brothers and the nice man and ladies eat their fill. Discord looks to Griphyx and Harry before giving them a fatherly smile. "Why don't you two head into the other room play?" He says. Harry's eyes light up before rushing off with Griphyx in tow. It was a strange sight for the brothers as their were all manners of toys, eve those "video games" that Dudley plays so often. Harry moves towards the items in curiosity, rather than knowing what they are. Griphyx, on the other hand, stays in the doorway, not sure of what it is he's supposed to do. Celestia notices this and watches as Griphyx looks around nervously, as if fearing of some sort of attack just bound to happen. But why would a child ever get attacked in the first place? That is the true question. "Is something wrong?" Celestia asks. She watches as Griphyx spins around and stares at her with wide eyes, before gaining an ashamed look and looking away as if he were trash on the bottoms of her feet. "I... I don't know what I'm supposed to do..." He mumbles out just loud enough for her to hear. Celestia nods her head, almost knowingly, and places a hand onto Griphyx' shoulder gently. "Would you like me to play with you?" She says while giving him a motherly smile. Griphyx nods his head and he holds her hand, not that she minded, and was led over to Harry who is poking a grey square with a thin, yet tall, grey rectangle coming out of it. Cords come from the front of the square and three strange controllers that have three grips to them sit on the floor. "This is what is known as a Nintendo." Celestia says softly. Griphyx grows confused and looks at his hands than grabbing Celestia's hands before looking at the three handled controller. "How do you hold it?" He asks. Harry taps his shoulder and shows that it can be held in two ways: left and right, middle and right. "Oh..." He mumbles out before sitting down and picking one of the controllers up, albeit tentatively so, and holds it in his hands. Celestia smiles down at the two, and goes to join them but is stopped when she see's Discord in the doorway. He jerks his head to the left before walking off. "I'll be back in just a little bit, why don't you play some of the games while I am away, okay?" Celestia asks. Harry nods his head, while Griphyx gains a worried look, but that soon flees from his face when the hum of the 8-bit music awakens. The two brothers decide to "investigate" the game. She giggles softly to herself before rising to her feet, and leaving the room. DCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNL Celestia moves towards the table and once again sits in her chair, but something unexpected happens. The chairs that she, Nightmare, Luna and Discord sit in morph into thrones as they lean back and rest in the chairs. Celestia's is that of a white marble throne, Luna's is a dark obsidian throne, Nightmares is a moon rock throne charmed to be indestructible -much like the other thrones- and finally Discord's throne is wooden with antlers on the top and very well cushioned. Discord looks around the table with a serious expression and says, "So, you all know why I am holding this little meeting, no?" He asks. "Because of those little angels." Nightmare says with a small smile. "It has not gone unnoticed that Harry seems to be the more....leader of the two. Griphyx, however, seems to be terrified of just about anything." Nightmare says. Celestia sighs softly before speaking, "It is heartbreaking to see him break down into tears, let alone how he looked at me as if I were to vanish in thin air when I was asked to come here. Thankfully, Harry started that gaming device that humans love so much. If he hadn't, I feel as if he would have tried to follow me." She explains with a soft and sad voice. "I see." Discord mutters out. He narrows his eyes into the table as if trying to figure something out, before his head snaps upward when Luna slams her left fist down onto the table, splintering it as well as taking a chunk off. "Did no one else notice how abused those two are!?" She roars out. "Let alone how starved! Harry, he was able to eat two and a half plates of food, while Griphyx had trouble eating just a little over half!" She seethes in anger. Discord nods his head solemnly. "Very true, but, what do you suggest we do about it?" He asks. Luna looks at Discord incredulously. "We bring them into our home and make them part of the family!!" She exclaims. Discord gives her the "no shit" look. "I know, but we need to get them away from wherever they are now, so that they can be safe. It shouldn't be too hard though, all we'd need to do is simply trace their magical signatures to where their tormentors lie." He explains. Luna growls in more anger as a massive pressure weighs down in the room. "Then we go there, and rip them a new one!!" She screams in fury. Discord pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs while shaking his head. "We are not going to kill humans, no matter how badly it would satisfy us and our need to protect the two of them!" He cries out. Celestia nods her head lightly. "I must agree with Discord, but, if we can get them away from their....family, then we can bring them up with us, perhaps even make them part of the family by blood and magic?" She asks softly. Looking around the table, she notes the nodding of heads and smiles softly. "Then let us go and do so, now." And with that, they leave the dining room in silence. Celestia goes back into the "toy room" and grows surprised to see Griphyx holding a plush doll of a pearl white Alicorn, and a strangle looking Draconequus, while Harry holds a blue Alicorn and a white stag. She smiles softly seeing a black Alicorn between the two with it's hooves touching their shoulders gently. 'How cute, though why a stag? Oh well, perhaps it will be explained in time...' Celestia thinks to herself with a shrug as she pulls a large brown blanket and lays it across the two boys. Celestia smiles softly and motherly when Griphyx mumbles out a "thank you nice lady" before drifting back to sleep. She leaves the room softly as well as snapping her fingers, making the lights to turn out and the television and making the strange Nintendo device turn into a large black square with a "X" on the top. She giggles ad then leaves the large mansion. She stands before Discord and her sisters before nodding and they vanish in a flash of light. DCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNL The small group appears before a red bricked house with a number "4" on the door. Discord looks between his wives nd they share a head nod before turning back and knocking on the door a few times. A moment passes before a dying horse of a woman opens it up and gazes at the four towering adults before her. "What is it?" she snaps out. Discord clears his throat. "My...wife and her sisters and I would like to have a discussion, if you would be so kind madam?" He asks while silently and sneakily sending out a magical pulse sending a bit of minor-mind control on the horrendous woman. "Sure...come in then." She hisses out and steps to the side. "Thank you." Discord says with a smile, flashing his fangs to the woman, making her pale as if the devil himself was walking into her home. The small group is led into a small living room where they meet a pig of a boy with five chin rolls, and a whale-walrus hybrid of a man with somehow seven chin rolls. 'Disgusting...' Luna thinks to herself. "Who are you people!?" The fat man roars out. Dudley sneers at them, but soon screams in terror when Nightmare gives a smile, her massive fangs glinting in the light while the room seems to darken. "I am...Nim Order. This is my husband Discord Order, and my sister, Tia Solaris and my other sister Luna Solaris." Nightmare says as her pupils seem to thin into slits. Vernon pales before growling and goes to stand, but is pushed down and chokes as the air becomes heavy as Luna releases very little of her magical power. When Discord raises a hand, Luna rings in her power, but continues to glare death at the panting Dursleys. "We are hear to discuss two children, and- " Nightmare is cut off. "Take those wretched things! That freak and monster should never have been born anyways!!" Petunia screeches out. Discord sends a beyond-death-glare at the bitch of a woman. "We thank you for freeing them to us. But before we go, why not explain why they are....a "freak" and "monster"?" He asks. Vernon speaks this time. "No! Now get out of my house!!" He bellows out. Discord nods his head and leaves with the others behind him. But as the girls step out, Discord looks back at the Dursleys, who seem to pale when his eyes become their natural color. The whites become sickly yellow, the dark red become bright blood red and his pupils turn white. "Farewell, Vernon Dursley, have fun at you....work." He says with a mocking and condescending sneer before the door slams shut on it's own, and as the four walk away, the screams of terror greet their ears. "Do we have them as our children now, love?" Luna asks. Discord nods his head before lifting a piece of paper with Vernon's and Petunia's signatures on it. "Indeed, they have signed the contract, not that it would have mattered, as we could simply will adoption papers and tamper with these humans' minds." He says with a slight growl. Luna nods her head before the four of them flicker out of existence, or so it seems from an old woman's perspective, who had been watching from across the street the whole time. DCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNL The group appears before their mansion like home in the richer neighborhood, and head into their home. To their surprise, they see Harry sitting at the entrance table, waiting for them. "What are you ding awake?" Discord asks gently. "I wanted to wait and see what was going to happen to me and my brother." He says softly. Discord gives the boy a smirk before showing him the paper. Harry's eyes go wide as saucers before pouncing onto Discord and clings to him tightly. "THANK YOU!!" Harry cries out to the four of them. Discord chuckles mirthfully, "Not a problem, son." He says. Harry beams at them, before a thumping sound reaches their ears. His eyes go wide with horror and rushes back towards Griphyx. Before Discord could even blink, Celestia was quickly following after their son. Discord, Luna and Nightmare share a nod, before following after them. When Celestia reaches the "toy room", she see's Griphyx huddled in the corner, frantically looking around. However, when he spots Celestia, he seems to teleport into her arms and cling to her so tightly, she winces slightly. She feels her chest get wet as Griphyx sobs, hard. The others arrive and notices that Griphyx is being held by Celestia, while Harry gives a sad smile to them. Luna walks over to him, and pulls the boy close to her body. He wraps his small arms around her, before she picks him up with ease. "Ssshhh..." Celestia says softly, "it's okay, mama's hear for you. It's alright." She coos. Griphyx starts to calm down. Moments pass by before he lifts his head to look up at her with his puffy eyes. He sniffs. "M....Mama?" He asks as if it were a foreign word. Celestia nods her head softly, and rocks him back and forth gently. Nightmare goes over to Harry and hugs her sister, as well as Harry, while Discord hugs Celestia and Griphyx. The two brothers share a look, and then smile at their three mothers and one father. "Griphyx Umbra Potter-Order." Griphyx hears. He looks up at Nightmare who smiles down at him. "Do you like it?" She asks. Griphyx nods his head lightly, before hearing her ask Harry if he likes "Harry Lux Potter-Order", which got a nod of liking in return. Smiles are shared all around, before the two brothers are brought back to dining room, where it is already six o'clock in the evening. They are set down into different chairs, before Discord waves his hand, and dishes suddenly appear. Harry and Griphyx stare at him in shock and awe. "How..?" Harry asks. Discord smirks. "Magic." He then snorts twice, and dinner begins. DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD An old man with a long white beard sits at a desk with multiple moving pictures of other men and woman, even children, all smiling and conversing to each other. He sits back and looks over many things, but he starts to feel as if he has forgotten something as he holds a silver colored glass ball. He shrugs lightly and knows that he will remember again within time. Unaware that his "weapons" have been claimed by forces he could never imagine in all of his years of life. HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG The boys get ready for bed, but are stopped by Celestia, who hands them small boxes. "Here. these are for you two, my angels." She says softly and motherly. Harry opens his box, and comes to find a necklace that resembles golden crown with a moon with a smaller sun in the middle, before a black spiraling shape sits there in the very center. The chain is white in color, yet harder than obsidian. He pulls it down over his head and smiles up at his first mother. "Thank you." He says as they share a hug. Griphyx opens his box, and comes to find a silver crown connected by a pitch black chain. Inside the crown is a sun surrounded by two crescent moons, and in the very center, a white spiraling shape. He smiles softly and pulls it over his head as well, before hugging his mother goodnight. The two brothers then proceed to drift off to sleep, unaware of what will happen in the coming days.
Chapter 1KEY: "Normal Speak" 'Thoughts' Spells Magic Speak THE TWO POTTERS CHAPTER ONE GHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG Harry and Griphyx awoke from their night of restful sleep -for once- and look around their shared room. They take in the color of the walls which were blue with green waves on Harry's side with lightning just over them as well. While on Griphyx's side, there were flames that rose from the floor to the center of the wall being parallel to the waves, while snow, rain and hail move down towards the flames parallel to the lightning. Harry notes that on his side of the room, just between the waves and lightning, there is a strange looking unicorn with large wings that stand at attention, and next to that looks like a buck from those pictures he had seen in books at the library. The stag was snowy white with grey spots on the fur being elongated into ovals. The antlers' are massive like giant tree trunks black as night, with golden and silver orbs sitting on each of the tips. While the pegacorn(or would it be unisus?) that is pitch black with whit flakes that look incredibly sharp. The wings are snowy white where the tips of the feathers look to be emerald green, much like it's shocking eyes that match his own and the buck's own pair. The tail and mane of the creature is shaped like waves with lightning streaks flowing through them. Griphyx notes that between the snow, rain hail, and flames are three large animals he could never imagined. One looked like a massive snake bluish green with dazzling blue eyes. The second creature looked like a dragon, and yet, looks like a Wyvern. It eclipses the snake being twice it's size, it's forelegs/wings being different. The left being feathered, and the right is leathery, but both are scaly. A singular horn forms on it's forehead slightly curving up and pointing forward. The left hind leg looks like a toads, while the right looks much like a gecko's. The tail being massively long, yet, at the tip it splits apart to form a tentacle like "claw" with arrowhead tips curving inward. It's eyes are electric blue that shine with strange inner fire much like his own. The third creature looks like a large white and black griffin with fiery red wings and bird like tail. It's eyes are similar to his own as well. He looks on at the three creatures in awe, and for some reason feels comfortable by it all as well. He smiles slightly, but that soon leaves his face when the door opens up randomly and widely. The two boys whip their heads towards the open doorway and see their father, Discord, standing there with a smirk gracing his lips. "I see you two are enjoying the walls, no?" He asks. Harry nods his head, and Griphyx stares at him wearily before he spots Celestia walk in next to his new father. His eyes light up, but soon feels a pressure weigh down on him and Harry. The two bend their knees and grunt before they become used to the massive pressure. Discord stares in surprise as his new sons grow accustomed to his natural magical energy output, he then gives them wide grin and crosses the room as if he were gliding. The pressure starts to fizzle away from the two, and Harry looks up at his father while Griphyx moves behind Harry as if using his older sibling as a shield. Discord stops before them. "May I know what my son's ages are?" He asks. "We're both six years old." Harry answers. "I am an hour earlier than him, even if with the height difference." He explains. Discord nods his head slightly, before placing his hands atop their heads gently. "Well, seems I have to makeup for six missed birthdays, but, before we do, perhaps I should ask you two a question?" He asks. Harry inclines his head to his father. "Would you like me to...make you part of our family by blood? To make you both part of the family in a much deeper sense?" Discord asks. Harry tilts his head to the side, before nodding his head, much to Griphyx's surprise, and looks up at his massively tall father. "Good, but, first I must warn you both of something. We are not human, and most certainly not mortals. We are known as Equestrian's, but we'll get into that later. Are you still sure you wish to do this, my children?" He asks. Harry nods, while Griphyx actually looks completely happy with this decision. Discord gives a wide toothy grin before both their visions become nothing but blackness before they feel nothing. DCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNLDCNL Discord catches his son's and they vanish before appearing in a strange room with two tables with small pillows placed for heads to lay on. He places his son's onto the tables, before turning and see's Celestia, Luna and Nightmare enter the room wearing doctor's clothing and lab coats. They stand in a triangle formation around the three of them, before nodding. Discord moves between the two boys and raises his hands over each of them, and then strange rainbow energy flowed down over the two boys, seeping into every pore, every cell, every molecule. There were noticeable changes, such as blocks in Harry's and Griphyx's magic, minds, and many other things were shattered. Each sent out pulses of magic that pressed down on the four adults, but they stood strong. Soon, Celestia's hands had a golden glow around them, and her energy flowed into the boys. Then, Luna's cerulean colored energy flowed into them, and then finally Nightmare's midnight blue colored energy flowed into them as well. The second noticeable change was that Harry's hair seemed to brighten into a dark shade of purple, while Griphyx's became longer and turning dark green bordering black. Harry grew just as tall as Griphyx was, as they both grew to reach Luna's waistline, who reaches up to 6' tall. Heavy duty leather straps form and lay themselves along the two boys, as they thrash about from the mixture of energies that cause them more changes, yet, they stay looking the same as before, with those other minor differences. Soon, all goes quiet. The two stop thrashing and become still. A full minute passes before their chests rise and fall slowly. Griphyx's hands curl up and leave claw like markings on the steel table. His eyes flutter open, to reveal haunting icy blue eyes that shine with a strange inner fire that makes them glow, while his sharp pupils become sharper. Hips lips part to reveal sharpened teeth an he gasps for breath. Harry's eyes snap open and reveal glowing emerald green eyes with slightly sharp pupils. His lips part as well as he takes in a breath of fresh air, before coughing, and sitting up, snapping the leather straps. His ears start to ring as they are now slightly pointed, while Griphyx's are pointed like an elves from those odd fairy tales. Harry rubs his eyes and looks at Discord, "Fa..ther?" He mumbles out as his voice is raspy and weak. Discord runs Harry's head gently, his thumb tracing the scar as he then pulls out a mass of black from it, making Harry cry out in pain. The pain subsides, and he stares at a black cloud roaring for release. "So this is what was holding you back and stunting your growth. Hm, crude." He says with a serious tone that makes the three woman shiver from a past fear. "I shall enjoy sending this....thing to Tartarus." Discord growls out. He then crushes the black cloud, which releases a scream of pure pain before it sizzles out of existence. "Much better, no?" He asks Harry, who nods his head dumbly. Griphyx groans as he lifts his left arm and snaps the first an second straps off, flinging them across the room. He lifts his legs and sends the rest of the straps off, also flinging across the room. Discord stares in shock at how easily his young son was capable to do something like it was a common thing. He moves and slowly slides off the table, and lands on his feet, making the floor make an "erking" sound from his weight being pressed down atop of it. He shakes his head and rubs his eyes, clearing his mind an sight. His black hair gains some blue markings to it before they fade away to nothingness. Harry, Discord, Celestia, Nightmare and Luna watch in silence and awe as Griphyx takes a few staggering steps forward, making the floor around his feet jolt softly, before the jolting stops and he stands at his full new height. His eyes scan the room, and soon land on his family, but they look...different. His father, Discord, looks like some sort of humanoid dragon with mixed-up parts, his mothers look like humanoid winged-unicorns, Alicorn's, for some odd reason that pops into his mind. And then his brother, he looks the same as always, an yet, he holds a silver and golden aura around his form, as if saying he is pure. Pure of what? He does not know. He looks down at his hands, and notices that his once white nibbled down nails, are now semi-long and sharp pitch black nails. His skin seems to be tanner, darker than before. A mirror forms on the wall behind him. How did he know? Why could he feel the room through the air around him? So many confusing happenings are going on, and it feels odd. Griphyx turns and looks into the mirror. How once spiky and tom-boyish red hair is now replaced by long below shoulder length dark green bordering black hair. His once normal blue eyes are now terrifying electric icy blue orbs with animalistic sharpened pupils bordering into slits. The whites of his eyes are darker, no longer bordering dark green, but a greyish color that sends shivers down his spine. His squared teeth are now sharped like fangs, like a monsters. His tongue looks bluish, while still retaining it's natural red coloring it had always had. His lips were paler than before as they are greyish like the whites of his eyes. Yet, for some reason he enjoys how he looks. He loves how much stronger and fuller he looks and feels. When looking down at his bare feet, his see's his toe-nails are similar to his finger-nails. Elongated, sharp, and pitch black. He moves his "claws" to his bare forearm, and presses the sharpened nails against the skin. His skin has become harder, even rougher like plates of armor sit just atop the actual flesh of his body. A mystic energy roars in his chest, and he grows curious. What is it? Why is it there? Is he even human anymore? He feels the energy pulse a sort of wave, and on instinct he harnesses it, pushing it into his hands where his "claws" gain a blue tint to them. The nails grow longer, but are glowing bright blue and pulsate with that same strange energy. A smile creeps onto his face when on instinct wills the "energy claws" to retract into his body. A sudden tap on the shoulder makes him yelp in surprise, before whirling around and gazing up at his mother Celestia, who gives him a loving motherly smile. "Having fun?" She asks. Griphyx nods his head up and down, earning him one of her melodious laughs that rings bells in his ears and mind. He smiles up at her, before Harry clears his throat, causing the two to look at him and the other three standing with him, all smiling. "Now then, seeing as to how both of you are now ours by blood, flesh and magic, now we can speak to you two about what we are, and where we came from. But please, keep an "open mind", not that they aren't already opened enough from what had just happened, or what you both had just witnessed." Father Discord says with a chuckle. Harry snorts out his own laughter, while Griphyx stays quiet, but a smirk graces his lips. Discord's expression soon becomes very serious and he sits down onto a chair that forms from nothing at the wave of his hand in the most nonchalant manner anyone could accomplish. "As I told you two, we are known as "Equestrian's, but, what he had not told you was that we are not mortal, because we are..."deities" in that Universe. I am known of what is called a "Draconequus", a creature that is a combination of all things. Think of them as a living Noah's ark, even to the things that don't exist, because they exist in a different universe. "What's more, is that they are known as "Spirit's of Chaos and Disharmony", however, that is not always the case. There are many races of the "Draconequi", and they can look like anything. I, am Discord; God of Chaos Magic and Chaos itself. So, I am everywhere, and nowhere, and yet I am here, being your father. Funny, isn't it?" He asks after his long winded rant. Harry and Griphyx stare in shock that their father is a "god". Celestia clears her throat, "I am Celestia, Princess of Equestria, Goddess of the Light, Day, and the Sun. I am known as an Alicorn, combinations of the three pony races; Earth Ponies, Pegasus Ponies, and Unicorn Ponies. Alicorn's hold the power over the earth, magic -mainly light magic-, and the weather. Our race is the second to be created alongside the Draconequus, and just as powerful, even if we don't have a "title" to our name. "My sisters are Nightmare Moon, she used to be an "evil Alicorn", but she merely wished for her moon to be gazed by may of the worlds inhabitants. She is the Goddess of the Night, Dreams, and Dark(Black) Magic. My other sister, Luna, is known as; Princess Luna, Goddess of the Moon, Between(between black and light magic), and animals of the night. We three are seen as the Goddesses that had combatted against your father, Discord, when he was consumed by evil magic. Contrary to many popular belief, Black Magic is not evil. Shadow Magic, and Soul Magic along with Necromancy is all categorized as "Evil Magic". "Anyways, once he was cured and had became friends with one of my adoptive daughters friends. The curse was broken, and he regained his sense and realized that what he was doing, was terrible. Then, he aided us against the Centaur known as; Tirek. He was bent on taking over the world, and he had been consumed in wanting to gain more friends, and our hearts. Unbeknownst to him, he already had our hearts, but we had no idea how to approach him back then. But, anyways, my daughter, your sister, gained our magic and fought Tirek, but soon lost it all and gained the pure power of the Element Tree. She and her friends defeated Tirek an casted him down to Tartarus after taking all the magic he ever took, and returned it back to their owners. "Soon after, her and her friends experienced may more adventures, but that is for a different time, and story." Celestia says with a smile after finishing her long winded speech. The two boys stared in shock and awe, their parents were "gods", and they had a "half sister" back in that world. Harry leans back into Luna and look up at her, and she smiles down at him. "How old are all of you?" Griphyx asks. Discord beams that his son's aren't too shocked that they could not function. "I am order 10,000 years old, the three of them re triplets and are each 6,000 years of age. But that is for OUR normal time, in your time, thousands are millions of years. So it shouldn't be too hard to figure it out." He says with a wink. Harry stares before he just starts laughing, and then passes out. Griphyx had a much stranger approach. He simply stood up, walked over to his mothers, and hugged them tightly. The four of them were surprised, but welcomed the act. "What are we to you?" He asks. Celestia tilts her head. "Hm?" She hums out. "What are we? Mortal? Or God?" He asks. She smiles softly. "Neither, you are in-between, a mix, a half-breed. You no can no longer die of old age, unless you choose to, and your children will be the same. But you WILL age slowly, but will then stop aging at a certain point, but that will not be for a VERY long time. While you may look younger, you will mature quickly. Just because you may look, say, twenty-two, you will still be young in our eyes. IF and WHEN you have children at, say, twenty or older, you will be seen as still young, but you yourself have young ones. It was common for our races to have children at "young" ages, and still be babied. But since you were both mostly human to begin with, well, you will be following with universes laws, not ours. Understand? And before you even ask, the only reason we don't look our age, is because we are not from his universe." Celestia explains. Griphyx nods his head, and goes to say something but a yawn escapes his lips. Nightmare grins. "Seems our young Griphyx is tired. Perhaps now is the time for a nap?" She chuckles out. Griphyx nods his head, and climbs back onto his table, and lays his head down. The second his head touches the pillow, he is out like a light, feeling nothing but happiness. HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG When Griphyx awoke the next day he notes that his side of the wall had changed. Gone were the flames, and now stands land with a beach bordering the ocean where that Wyvern is standing in, the snake in the forest with arms and legs, and a horned crown. Above those, are large black storm raging clouds with rain, hail, snow and now lightning raining down upon the land and sea. Just below the clouds is that Griffin from before, but it looks different. The fur looked to be armor pieces that match together like a puzzle, each piece being sky blue and pearl white. The wings are bat-like with golden lines pulsating through them like veins. The tail is whip-like in nature, but a claw sits at the tip. The neck is elongated like a serpents, the beak is sharp, with "teeth" pointing downwards. The paws on the hind legs are auburn red, while the claws are orange-ish gold. It's eyes are the same as his own. The next thing he notes is that he is back in his bed in the room his brother and him share. His bed large enough to fit six more of himself on it and still have plenty of room to spare. He chalks it up to his parents moving him and Harry back in here so they could sleep much more comfortable. Looking around the room, he starts to realize that there were many other changes than from before. The ceiling is covered in a large marble white castle that is part of a mountain looking over a majestic land. It reminds him of Rivendell from the Lord of the Rings trilogy But above the shining castle, were multiple items that shine with mysterious light. One was a blue balloon, the second was a orange apple, the third is a cerulean diamond, the fourth was a pink and yellow butterfly, the fifth was a blood red lightning bolt, and the sixth is a six pointed purple star. Around those is a emerald green flame, and in the middle of it all is a oval egg white stone with the rainbow shinning from the inside out. His head tilts to the side, but then jumps when the door opens, revealing their mother Nightmare. "Hey," She starts softly and with a smile, "how are you both doing?" She asks. Griphyx looks over to see Harry is still asleep, and turns back to his mother. "I'm fine, but Har is- EEKK!" Out of nowhere, Harry sits up like a Vampire and his eyes snap open, making Griphyx squeak loudly and fall off his bed. Harry chuckles, and his emerald green eyes now have a ruby red tint. "Got'cha!" He laughs out. Griphyx grumbles and looks away from his older brother, and at his wall. The waves are replaced by flames and land with a vast lush green forest with that buck standing tall just above some of the smaller tree's the size of two story houses. The flames hold a strange looking bird with red and orange feathers that looks to be flame solidified. The skies are covered wit grey storm clouds with that Alicorn in the air, wings spread wide, energy lightning cracking and rolling across the air, crashing into things like waves. He hears Nightmare clear her throat, and he looks to her, to find that Harry is next to her with a grin on is face. Griphyx huffs and rises to his feet, before looking back at his mother and bother. "You two will begin training to control your magic, strength, mind, and forms very soon. Since it is the winder break, we have a limited amount of time. Get dressed, and meet me, your mothers and father in the backyard in one hour." And with that, she leaves the room just as quickly as she had came. Harry moves over to his dresser and pulls out black pants, grey shirt, and a white black hoodie with angel wings on the back. After he pulls those on, he moves over to his closet and pulls on simple sneakers that move up just above his ankle. Griphyx inwardly chuckles at how right it looks on him. He moves to his dresser and pulls out white pants, black shirt and grey hoodie with blue spines on the back. Sipping those on, he pulls on mid shin high boots brown as bark, yet hard as steel. A pair of gun-grey fingerless gloves pulled over his hands, the back having odd golden light like buttons or simple lights. The two brothers move around the mansion like castle, before finally finding the backyard, more like forest. Lush green trees of all kinds stand hundreds of feet tall around the mansion like castle, and form a woodland jungle for the backyard. Griphyx recognizes it as the same forest on his and his brothers walls. He grin when he see's his father holding a long and thin stick the same size as him, a staff perhaps? At the top of the black wooden staff is a clear crystal in the shape of a sword. His mothers all have their own items as well. Mother Celestia holds a "wand" that acts like a hilt of a amber crystal shaped like a long sword. Mother Luna wields twin wand-daggers being bright sapphire crystals, and Mother Nightmare wields a staff-scythe made of obsidian crystal. The "weapons" glint in the dull sunlight being covered by the fog and dark grey clouds, thunder booms above as droplets of rain drip onto the still waking world. Harry walks over to Mother Luna and looks at the twin daggers in awe, while Griphyx looks at the scythe, spear and sword with nary as response, too confused about why their parents are holding such things. Will they be learning how to fight? Curious. Father Discord then starts speaking to the two boys, "You shall both pick a crystal that accepts you as it's master. For me, it was a simple clear crystal, for Celestia it is amber, for Luna it is Sapphire and Nightmare is Obsidian. Go on and pick one, it will them form into what it is your magic chooses, as it will become an extension of yourself." He explains. Harry nods and watches as multiple minerals and crystals either rise from the ground, or simply appear from nowhere. Griphyx notes nothing rises or appears before him. He sighs softly and sadly, but gives them a small smile of reassurance. "I'll be fine. You go and pick your stuff out Harry, I'll be waiting over there," he points to a tree, "okay?" He says. Harry nods his head, and goes back to picking things out, well things picking him out. When his mothers and father turn to help Harry, Griphyx's shoulders sag, and he moves over towards the tree, and sits at the trunk of it. A stream rolls on by next to him as he watches rubies, emeralds and strange white wood float in the air before him, forming into a dual-sided staff, the crystals become blades at each ends. The staff itself is the size of his leg, and floats before him. Harry gains a grin and says something to their parents, making them chuckle or giggle, before taking the item, which then shrinks down turns into a dual-sided wand with miniature crystals becoming smooth. Griphyx then watches as Harry is guided in making strange red and green energy shoot out from the emerald. The energy hits a rock, and it turns into a new baby tree. He does the same, but shoots it from the ruby, and the baby tree is destroyed in a fiery, but small, explosion. He smiles as their parents clap, and then guide him in making it return it to it's "weapon form", and Father Discord shows Harry a few positions, before he puts them together in graceful, yet powerful, movements. Griphyx sighs softly, and looks up at the sky, rain pouring down on them, thought they remain dry, giving the world a wonderful smell. When he look down, forward, he jumps when Mother Nightmare is kneeling before him. "Something wrong, Griphyx?" She asks. He gives her a fake smile. "I'm that obvious, huh?" He asks. She nods her head, and he sighs once more as sadness shows itself on his face and in his eyes. "I'm sorry I'm not like Harry, that nothing wanted me...I'm a failure..." He whimpers out. Mother Nightmare shakes her head and kisses hi forehead gently. "No, it just means you need things stronger than the simpler stuff. Sure, Harry has succeeded in this, but those items did not have Obsidian, Steel, Iron, or even bones or other bits of animals. Those are the harder, more advanced things. So don't be thinking your failure, cause you not, understand me?" She says softly and firmly at the same time. Griphyx nods his head, and she smiles. She rises to her feet and pulls him up to his. "Let's go back and do the harder stuff now." She giggles out. The two return to the others, just as bones, obsidian, scales, etc. appear before him. He stares in awe as most of these things float into the air, and form into many items. A gauntlet, a shield, a sword, a scythe, armor, even forming into a strange looking helmet, but then they all fuse together, forming into a ring that slips onto his middle finger. It is made of obsidian. He grins wen the ring changes into a obsidian wand with strange blue and gold lines tracing it up and down forming into odd shapes or symbols. They stare at him as the wand then returns to being a ring, the magical energy flowing off of it, making the air seem thinner, yet still the same. Griphyx gives them all a lopsided smirk, before his eyes roll to the back of his head. The last thing he hears is the sound of feet moving towards him swiftly. Then, he hears no more.
Chapter 2KEY: "Normal Speak" 'Thoughts' Spells Magical Speak THE TWO POTTERS CHAPTER TWO HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG Ever since Griphyx and Harry gaining their "catalyst/weapons" for their magic and power, the two had been training hard, long and with grace. They had gone through many challenges that needed them to tap into their instincts, and harness them. While Harry had a dominant and "alpha complex", Griphyx was cunning and swift with his attacks, never once faultered with carrying out one of Harry's orders or plans. The "Missions" that they were tasked with generally had to deal with harnessing their abilities and controlling them. When it came to their animal forms, though Griphyx had caught glimpses of a ten-tailed winged beast with massive purplish blue eyes, well, they were met with problems, but those will solve themselves in time, as Discord had told them. It took him and their mothers to reach that stage, and even then it was during a point in time where they felt the need to protect or destroy. The two had gone through training, and yet were still not finished. No, their training will last for many years, but even now they have harnessed much of their power to affect the area's around them, even to mold them into things that may of use. Transfiguring other things into keys, doors, trees, animals, etc., their boundless powers ever growing and expanding as they grow more and more determined to prove themselves to each other. To their parents. To the world. They have gone through blood, sweat and tears over the years since they had been brought in, now both of them at the ages of 10 soon to be 11, and they still have the same height, yet look older much like those human's do. Many things had happened, yes indeed. They had gone from school to school, learning as much as they could, before moving somewhere else in the United Kingdom. They stayed in Surrey, then London, then the Welsh Isles. But currently, they are in the highlands of Scotland, where a dense forest sits near the lake of Loch Ness. They have learned to control the elements that are bound to them. Both sharing the lands and skies, but Harry had taken control over all manners of heat, and Griphyx all manners of the cold. They had sparred many a times, and still manage to "one-up" the other. Even to surprise and shock their parents and few friends they had managed to keep close through the years. One such friend is known as "Hermione Jane Granger", she is a brown bushy haired girl who loves to learn as much as she can, even going as far as to join Griphyx when he studies for whatever it is he desires to know. Another friend is known as "Neville Longbottom", a short and somewhat round boy who holds a great love for magic and plants, even going so far as to explain "Herbology" to not just the boys, but their father and mothers as well. Neville had visited them many a times, and became like a brother to the boys, and becoming another son to Discord and his wives. The four were insufferable. The small group of friends played together, no matter the distance, they were always in touch with each other by mail. Many parties were held for birthdays, events, or even just to gain a few laughs. When Griphyx asked Father Discord why they had so many parties, he grew sad. And said with a dreary, solemn voice, "Because my second best friend used to throw parties, she loved to see the smiles on every-ponies faces, even going so far as to make them laugh, only for the satisfaction of making someone smile, and forget their problems, even if it was just for a minute or two. She might not be around anymore, but she is your aunt. They all were..." Ever since then, Griphyx had tried to make people smile, and keep his father's friends memory alive in the youth of earth. It worked for a time, but he still had sadness in those eyes whenever there was a party, and would toast to a single name; Pinkie Pie. Harry had grown sad about hearing how their fathers fist best friend had past away in her sleep, after they had made some sort of refuge for animals world wide, and binging beings together through kindness. They had soon learned of the portrait on their ceiling, was of their friends and in Mother Celestia's case, a daughter, a son, and a grandson, whom she misses very much, but does not let it get to her. Over the many years, even if they were only 5 years, the two brothers had learned of their parents past's, their old universe, and then learned how to tap into their "celestial magic" which was given to them the day they became part of the family. But, currently, the two brothers sit on a couch with their two friends; Neville and Hermione. They sit and speak about what they plan on doing once the brothers turn 11 at the end of the week, on July the 31st. "So, why not throw a big party?!" Hermione exclaims excitedly. "We could get some music! Maybe I can finally show you my IPod!" She exclaims. She had been dying to show the three boys her amazing device that could hold tones of information and music by the thousands bordering millions. Neville had to get used to that sort of thing before enjoying he fact the "muggle" music was actually amazing compared to the "new(old styled) music" from a record. "Hm hm, perhaps." Griphyx chuckles out softly. The two of them had actually grown closer than Harry and her head, not that it mattered. "But, why would you wish to bring it? Something on it we should know about? Hm?" He asks. Hermione nods her head firmly. "Yep! There's this picture I have, and it looks so strange!" She says in awe. Griphyx gains a small smile. "Really? What's it of?" He asks. Hermione goes to answer, but soon gains a stumped look before tapping her chin lightly. "Um....I d'nno, something about some old guy coming by here and talking to your father. When I heard more, he said something about a "magic school", and "muggles", whatever those things are." She shrugs out. Neville seems to pale, but quickly hides it just as fast as it had happened. Griphyx and Harry noticed, but didn't question it out of respect. "Really? How odd. But let's see something, perhaps we should finally show you some of the...things our family can do. Our parents already set it up and gave us the okay." Harry says with a grin. Hermione giggles and nods. "This I have to know about!" She exclaims. They nod, and decide to set it up on the 30th so they could enjoy the 31st quietly with each other. The week had passed by like it was nothing, until the 30th, where the Grangers and Longbottom's had each came to visit. For the first time ever, the Longbottom's were in awe and fearful when they learned of Harry Potter and his "brother". How come the Ministry didn't say that he had a brother? A stage stands just before the woods with the Order family standing on it dressed in odd clothing, their eyes literally glowing, making everyone squirm in discomfort and fear. "Welcome to our home. It has been many good years of knowing each of you, even I it was for half that time. I and my wives have decided to expose ourselves to your two families mainly because we trust all of you. Don't betray that trust, otherwise there will be...terrible consequences that the human mind could never imagine." Father Discord says. Hermione stares up at Griphyx with wide and scared eyes, she gains more fear when his face becomes emotionless and cold, had he been doing this before? "I would like you all to make an oath, a life promise to protect our secrets, and locations. We mean no harm, just that life here is...odd." Mother Celestia says softly with her motherly voice. The crowd eases back into comfort, before they each make the promise/oath unaware of what exactly it is about. "Thank you." She says softly, before she swings her hand out, and royal regalia forms on herself, her sisters, Discord, Harry, and finally Griphyx. Her sword forms in her right hand, while Luna's daggers form, then Nightmare's scythe, Discord spear, Harry's sword and Griphyx's ring, all show themselves to the crowd below. "I am Princess Celestia of Equestria, Goddess of the Day, Light Magic, Sun." She says. "I am Princess Luna of Equestria, Goddess of Neutrality, Neutral Magic, Night." Luna exclaims. "I am Queen Nightmare Moon, Goddess of the Moon, Dreams, Black Magic." Nightmare states while showing off her fangs. "I am King Discord, God of Chaos Magic, Chaos itself." Discord booms out, thunder rolls through the skies as the ground seems to shake. "I am Prince Harry Lux Potter-Order, Mage of the Earth, Heat, Skies, Nature, Elements and Light and Chaotic Magic." Harry booms out, making the air shake and the fires to rise. "I am Griphyx Umbra Potter-Order, Mage of the Earth, Cold, Skies, Nature, Minerals and Neutral and Chaotic Magic." Griphyx booms out, making the wind scream, and the water to bubble. The crowd stares in shock as their magic becomes physical and forms flaming tornado's around each of them. Discord's is brown, Celestia's is golden, Luna's is silver, Nightmare's is black, Harry's is green and red, Griphyx's is blue and black. "That...Is...AWESOME!!" Hermione explains as she jumps onto the stage, and hug Griphyx tightly, making the boy blush, but he returns the hug and smiles down at her as she reaches his chest. Father Discord begins to speak again. "Another thing, we had welcomed our sons into our lives, making them immortal, powerful, and changing the into something....more. They are half human, and half Equestrian. They hold our "genetics" and their original parent's "genetics" as well. We can even grant you all magic, if you so choose." He finishes up. Mr. Granger(Dan) raises his hand, "Yes, Dan?" Luna asks. "What will happen to us if we accept this...gift?" He asks. Discord grins down at him. "You will become a half-breed like our children, but, you will need to choose the race. There is no such thing as becoming a Draconequus less it's by blood or marriage, and even then it is up to the partner of the situation." Discord explains. Dan nods his head before walking onto the stage and stands before Discord. "I...I accept of this...this gift." He says. Discord nods, and places his right hand against Dan's forehead. "I must warn you, it will hurt at first, but when it does happen, choose the race you desire." Discord explains. Dan nods his head, and braces himself. "Let's get this done." He sighs out, preparing himself. Dan feels a jolt of...something....curse through his body, he releases a cry of pain, before a human comes to mind. A human wearing odd robes and a pointy hat. Once the ceremony is finished, Discord is panting heavily as if he was having blood loss, before calming down again. Dan rises to his feet, and a wooden staff forms in his hand, as orange robes and pointy hat form over his body. "A Wizard, very interesting. So you took what I said by heart, hm? Clever." He compliments. Dan nods his head lightly. "Thank you, Discord." He says. Discord chuckles lightly. "No problem what-so-ever, my friend. Anyone else?" He asks the crowd. Mrs. Granger(Amy) steps onto the stage. "I would like to go though I am curious, what else does this whole thing entail?" She asks. Discord chuckles. "It gives you MUCH longer life, powerful magic -though it differs for the race-, strength, intelligent, and more stamina, which could be used for...bedroom activities~" He purrs the last part out. Amy shares a glance with Dan before slamming her face into Discord's palm. "Please, continue kind sir~!" She exclaims quickly. Discord chuckles mirthfully, and sends a pulse of his power into Amy, making her cry out in pain. She see's a woman wearing black robes and pointy hat, who then turns into a bird like creature. When the pain stops, her body had aged a few years younger, her bust grew as she became taller, and her hair now silvery-blonde. Her clothes are now black robes and a short pointy hat sits atop her head. "A Veela, interesting. Very uncommon, but interesting all the same. You chose very well, my dear Amy." Discord states. Amy blushes and smiles at the tall man. "Thanks 'Cord." She says cheerily. Hermione then steps in front of Discord, making everyone freeze in surprise. "I would like to go next." She asks sweetly. Discord looks to her parents, who look on warily, and he sighs. "Young Hermione, while I would love to do this for you, it would feel as if fire, lightning and then knives are being sent into you all at once." He explains. Amy becomes confused. "But I felt only Lightning..." "And me knives, why would she feel those three?" Dan finishes. Discord sighs. "Because she is young, and she already has magic, weak magic, yes, but magic all the same. If I were to add our magic, it would make her become comatose for at least a few days for the body to become accustomed to it's changes, both magically and physically." He states. Amy goes to speak, but out of nowhere, Hermione grabs Discord's still magic covered hand and slams it into her forehead. Everyone stares wide-eyed in shock, as she screams in pain, her magic sends out pulses that shatters glass, and wood. The plants over grow to triple their natural sizes. She see's a flaming two tailed cat with large feathery wings, and a golden pearl protruding from it's forehead. Discord pulls his hand away, and Griphyx catches her. The Orders stare in shock as they stare down at her, and how she is STILL awake, albeit weak and tired, and kicking. "Hermione!" Griphyx cries out. "Hermione! Are you alright!?" He exclaims worriedly. Hermione nods her head with a whimper mixed with a groan. "Owie...." She whimpers out, and Griphyx pulls her in close to his chest, making her blush softly, but doesn't deny it as her body heats up and she feels the pain vanish in a split second, and she gazes up at her friend from since they were six. "Thanks...." She says to him. Griphyx her a grin. "No problem! I'm just glad your okay!" He says happily, before a dangerously serious expression sets in, "Never! And I mean NEVER! Do that EVER again!!" He cries out. Hermione nods her head softly. "I'm sorry....I just...I just wanted to be with everyone and..." A finger is pressed against her lips. "Shush now. It's over, and your safe. All if forgiven, but please never make me- er, us worry like that again, okay?" He asks. She nods her head with small smile, and lays her head against his flat chest. "I make no promises~!" She sings out, making Griphyx shake his head with a smile. "Fine..." He huffs out, before standing and helping her to her feet. She smiles back at him, and hugs her parents, who give Griphyx a look of...admiration? She then turns and gives Discord a sad smile, but to her surprise he gives her a grin before stomping his foot on the ground, making Griphyx's items form before her. An obsidian shield before her, a gold clawed gauntlet next to it, before they fuse into a wand, and then a silver ring that slips onto her left ring finger with a blue diamond on the top shaped like a shield with a gauntlet and wand in he center of the shield. Her eyes change amber gold with slightly sharp pupils, her brown bushy hair grows darker and longer, before shortening, and then changing into different shapes, colors, her eyes do the same, while she ages slightly, but then back. She groans and grabs her head, and a voice cuts through the air. "She's a Matemorphmagus!" Neville exclaims. Harry, Griphyx and Hermione look at him in shock as his ancient grandmother, Agusta Longbottom, points a stick in the air making a ball of light form. "Human magic?" Griphyx says. "We're Wizards and Witches." Neville says nervously. "We're Equestrian's." Harry states calmly as his "wand" changes into a dual-blade that shines brightly in the dark night. "We are magical creatures, I suppose you could say...." He stops talking as Agusta fires a white bolt of magic that is backhanded away by Griphyx, who keeps looking down at Neville. "Cool, I had a feeling you weren't human, I just didn't know what you were. And sorry for gran, she tends to test people like that...." Neville says shyly... HGHNHGHNHGHNHGHNHGHNHGHNHGHN The night passed by after that little incident, and the three families had came together, the Longbottom's telling the Order's and Granger's about the magical world, the schools, and even the laws on magical creatures -which infuriated them greatly, but they stayed quiet about it- and the war that had ended eleven years ago for magical Britain. They told about "The-Boy-Who-Lived(Harry Potter)" and how there were story books that painted Harry as a leader, a warrior, a figurehead for those who need someone to look up to. Discord had a smirk gracing his lips as he watched his oldest son looking oddly uncomfortable and his youngest son laughing till he falls over. Neville and the other families watch as Harry and Griphyx dash around playing a "don't-get-hit" that Neville and Hermione had seen so many times. Hours had passed and the party was underway, however, the second the clock struck midnight, Griphyx and Harry stopped, and grin widely. It was their birthday at last. A hoot resounds through the air, as large brown owl lands before the three children. It's amber eyes staring up at them with three letters in it's beaked mouth. Neville retrieves his letter, Harry his, Hermione hers, and Griphyx his. They open them and pull out a letter with a list attached. Agusta gives a happy cry and hugs Neville tightly. Dan and Amy look over the letter, and hug their daughter tightly, while Discord takes Harry's and Griphyx's letter, making them vanish into thin air. "Looks like we need to get to this "Diagon Alley" tomorrow. But for now, perhaps some rest?" He asks everyone, as they were all slowing down, even getting tired. Many agreed, though some left leaving behind a popping sound from where they once were. he group that remains heads inside the mansion, only to stop when they see a woman dressed in green and black robes. Her old dull blue eyes taking them in. "Are you the Orders, Grangers and Neville Longbottom?" The old woman asks. Discord steps between them, his wand appears in his hand as he points it at the old woman. "May we ask who you are, miss?" He asks. "Ah, I am Professor McGonagall, Deputy Mistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At your service." McGonagall says softly. Discord vanishes his wand and grins at her. "Ah, so your the one who sent the letter? Hm Hm Hm, interesting." He chuckles out. McGonagall nods her head. "Indeed I am." She says. Discord smirks down at her, making her gape at how tall he is, apparently it just came to her that this man and his wives stand taller than Hagrid with ease, while Harry and Griphyx stand up to their abdomen's, making them up to Hagrid's stomach. "How lovely to meet you, perhaps we could talk...in the morning about whatever it is you wish to speak about. But, for now we were just heading to bed. If you wish to stay in one of the guest rooms, by all means, do stay. But I must warn you," his tone becomes serious and deadly making McGonagall gain shivers up and down her spine from how silky and cold his voice is, "do not leave the room when the clock hits 1. Other than that, please, enjoy your stay!" He cheers out before he, and his wives vanish thanks to Nightmare's control over the darkness. McGonagall jumps when they seep through the floor much like those vampires do in Transylvania. She shivers and looks to the children, and is surprised to see Harry and Griphyx walking towards a room that is glowing. This peaks her interest and decides to investigate. What she finds shocks her immensely. Much like the ceiling of Hogwarts' great hall, there is a sky, generally of clouds, sun's, stars, or moon's. But this? It's a universe that is painted onto the ceiling. And it moves! Her jaw drops as she watches stars jet across the "night sky" as the planets spiral around a strange orange and yellow sun with a planet like earth, only blue instead of green, being circled by a purple and blue moon that holds the design of a unicorn on it. She looks at the walls and gasps as she see's the flames moving around, the clouds rolling and booming while lightning flashes. The sea's crashing against the lands where the forests release their own "noises". She notes that things move in each places like the portraits on the walls and in the halls of Hogwarts move. She feels something tap her shoulder, and she jumps and turns around, seeing Harry standing there with a small smirk on his face. "Something wrong, Professor?" He asks. She shakes her head, and goes to answer, but stops and stares as Griphyx raises his right hand broadly, and a vase rises into the air, before he flicks his wrist, and the vase turns into a bed which then is sent into a guest room no doubt. "How?" She asks. Harry grins. "We have been going through magic since we were little. Father Discord has been teaching us his chaotic magic, Mother Celestia her Light Magic, Mother Luna her Neutral Magic," McGonagall smiles at this, "and Mother Nightmare her Dark Magic." Griphyx states. McGonagall flinches from that, and gives the boys a shocked look. "Evil Magic!?" She exclaims. Griphyx's face grows dark and hard. "No. Dark Magic is not evil. Black Magic is. Shadow Magic is. Soul Magic is. Dark Magic is just the opposite of Light, neither are good or bad. But Black Magic such as Necromancy, Soul Magic or Shade Magic is evil, all of those are part of death and viewed as evil. Dark Magic is nothing to be afraid of, as long as the right person uses it." Griphyx mutters out before moving past the old woman and lays on his black, grey and blue bed, where he immediately falls asleep. McGonagall feels guilt course through her heart. Harry smiles at her softly. "Don't worry, he's like that about everything. Before the Order's adopted us, we were living with the Dursleys, hence why Griphyx has his...trust issues. His girlish figure got him beatings because he was a boy. They called him a "monster" because he had strength, speed, and agility that made them scared. We were both smart, still are, and they feared us, hated us, hurt us..." Harry goes silent as tears form. He is shocked when McGonagall hugs the child whom reaches up to the top of her chest. "I am sorry about your younger years. But may I ask a question?" He nods. "How are you and Griphyx so tall? Why are his nails black and claw-like? His hair is just as black. Why?" She asks. "I can't say... You'll need to ask Father Discord in the morning. Please, enjoy your room, it's the first one on the left." And with that, Harry went to bed, and the door closed after McGonagall left. HGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG The next morning, Griphyx and Harry awoke and found Father Discord and their mothers taking to their friends, the Grangers and Professor McGonagall, who all have shocked looks on their faces. When they let themselves be known, McGonagall stares at Harry. "You share genes with them. Did it hurt?" She asks softly. Harry nods his head as he remembers feeling so much pain, feeling his body change so many times. He sighs. "Yes, it hurt. A lot. Why does it matter?" He asks. McGonagall gains a sad look. "I knew your parents when they had gone to Hogwarts. Lilly and James. Lilly was a wonderful girl who would constantly keep James in check, after he and those marauders run a muck in the school with their pranks." McGonagall says softly, making Harry stare at her wide eyed. "You knew them?" He asks. She nods her head. "Indeed, I did. I knew them quite well. I also knew James' friends who were with him till the day he and Lilly were...were murdered." She says. Harry sits in shock, while Griphyx gains a confused look. He looks to McGonagall. "What about me?" He asks. McGonagall sighs. "I am not sure. You used to have Lilly's hair and James' eyes. But that's changed. I can see you have blackish blue hair, and your eyes still hold James' in them, but they seem...brighter." She states. Griphyx nods his head before looking away. "Why doesn't the magical world know about me...?" He asks, almost afraid of the answer. "Only few knew about you; Me, Albus, Hagrid and V-...Voldemort." She explains. He sighs and sits in a chair next to Hermione. She looks to the boys. "May I see what magic you have so far?" She asks. Griphyx and Harry share a look, before both gaining wide grins. "A spar....Alright!" Griphyx exclaims. Harry rises to his feet and drags Griphyx outside, the others following close behind. The two brothers lock wrists and wait for Discord to place a hand over both of them. "I want a clean spar, and no causing catastrophic earthquakes please. Other than those things, have fun!" He then flickers next to McGonagall, who watches in confusion, before the two brothers push against one another. Sparks flash between the two before they send each other flying backwards and summon their tools. Harry spins his dual-blade around making the air heat up and the plants to bend around his form and grow. Griphyx dons on his ring and the gauntlet forms, it covers his forearm up past his elbow. Strange yellow lines looking like wires shine and flash through the grooves of the gauntlet. The air around him becomes freezing cold and the wind spins around him like a bladed tornado. The two fire beams of magic that fight for dominance, before a ball forms and explodes. Shockwaves rocket through the sky as the windows on the mansion shudders, as if afraid of the two. They then run along side each other, sending out bolts of magic which they either dodge or knock aside. The two flip around off the trees and rocks, even to move around in nearby streams. The onlookers watch as the two brothers share a dance that only the two would know. They uproot plants of all kinds, even splintering smaller trees as they fire strange bolts of multi-colored magical energy, even sending out waves of power Griphyx's form flickers all around making Harry grow annoyed from his brothers tactic, but soon gains a idea. Harry's staff changes into a sword, and he swings upwards making a red wave of magic roar across the ground towards Griphyx like flames. Griphyx's eyes narrow and slams his covered hand down, a large shield forms that blocks the flames from hitting him. The flames flick off the sides of the sharp shield, before he swings it upwards, making a gust of wind that snuffs out the magical flames as quickly as they had come. The shield then turns back into the gauntlet, and that into the ring. It shines before it turns into a scythe with teeth. He spins the scythe around before it turns into his wand and fires a magical bolt, hitting Harry in the chest, and knocking him back into a tree. McGonagall stares in awe as Griphyx then points the wand upwards, and a ball of magic forms, before exploding, and smaller balls of magic fly down at Harry, who changes his sword into a wand and summons a large dome like shield that absorbs the balls, before firing them right back at Griphyx. His eyes widen, before he summons his shield again, blocking the balls of golden light. He grows surprised when they stick to is shield, and then explodes, making him fly back into a tree, and the shield turns back into it's ring form, before Griphyx lands on his feet, making the ground crack and small rock walls stand up tall around him in a circular formation. His eyes glowing bright eerie blue as his remains silent. Harry pants slightly from the quick magical recovery he had just used, as well as sending a mirroring counter spell as well as a bombing spell all mixed together. He watches as Griphyx takes a single step, and the stone walls shatter oblivion, and he then whips his right hand outward, making his ring turn into it's wand form, and he fires a bolt of magic that collides with Harry's chest, and a sheet of metal pins him down only allowing his head to move. "You win. I Yield..." Harry sighs out, before the metal vanishes at the flick of Griphyx's wrist. Harry goes to move, but stops as he see's the outline of an animal that resembles a Buck, yet has the Alicorn traits to it as well, but only for the briefest of moments, before he collapses from magical drain. He coughs out, before regaining his lost magic, and he sighs softly, and rises to his feet. "That was a most interesting fight, but how can you two move so swiftly, or even cause such damage?" McGonagall asks. Harry scoffs. "This is nothing. Father Discord asked us to not go all out, otherwise you would be watching many things returning to how they once were." Harry states as the damage the two had caused meds itself, looking as if nothing had happened in the first place. McGonagall is awe struck, but keeps her mouth shut. "Well then, shall we go and get your supplies?" She asks. Discord shakes his head 'no'. "I took the liberty of gathering their things last night before bed." He explains. McGonagall looks up at him incredulously. "How?" She asks. Discord gives his trademark smirk. "Magic, my dear Watson. Magic." Author's Note Short? Perhaps. I decided to give it a bit more of an "oomph" feel. Hop yer all enjoying it so far! Next chapter will be introducing Diagon Alley, Goblins, Hagrid! Till next time! Bye bye!!
Chapter 3KEY: "Normal Speak" 'Thoughts' Spells Magic Speak THE TWO POTTERS BY VLADIMIR[/b[ CHAPTER THREE Diagon Alley After the brothers little "fight", McGonagall led them and the others towards a pub where an old man stands behind a counter. She and the old man trade some words, before she leads the brothers, the Grangers, and the Orders behind the counter and leads to a brick wall, where she proceeds to tap on it with her wand. The wall parts in two directions into the walls. There they see a long alley with shops stringed up and down, even leading to other alleyways for whatever reason. Griphyx notes that certain alley's are darker than the main or other minor ones. He also notes that out of all the shops, he notes that there is a "Ollivanders Wand Shop" since some ort of "B.C." time period. Humans. He notes that there is a shining light, no, two shinning lights glowing from the window. He grabs Harry's hand along with Hermione's hand, and pulls them towards the shop. McGonagall squawks in surprise, and chases after them. Griphyx moves through the doors and looks around, his blue eyes gaining a purplish tint to them as they glow in the darkness of the room. Harry's eyes slightly glow blood red in the light, while Hermione's glow bright sand gold. "I had been expecting you, Mr. Potter. But who are these two?" An old man's voice asks. Harry spins around and gazes at an old man, who smiles softly at the three. "This is my brother, Griphyx and our friend, Hermione." Harry answers with uneasiness in his voice. The old man smiles. "I am Ollivander! Pleased to meet you two." He says with the bow of his head. Hermione bows her head back, while Griphyx gives a two fingured salute. "Thank you, Mr. Ollivander!" "Yo!" They reply to him. Ollivander smiles broadly at them, before noting the three glowing pairs of eyes. "I see, so you three aren't human, hm? No problem! Your secret, is safe with me, do not worry!" He states happily, yet there is a strange gleam in his eye. The three look on warily before looking around the store. The candles are out, while the walls and flows are completely black, yet, in the blackness there are shapes of various items strung across the walls, giving the darkened store an eerie look. Hermione's eye is then caught by a glowing box as sand and wind currents surround it, causing her to gain a Cheshire grin. She steps forward and grabs the box, and pulls out a wand that looks like it was made up of golden sand with blue markings going through it as it makes strange patterns. The feel of the wand is like rubbing up against a smooth tanned wood of oak from some foreign land. She grins when the sand and wind currents swirl around her form as Ollivander somewhat smiles, while somehow paling ever so slightly. "I see. That wand is made up of a strange tree found in the desserts of a large continent near the middle-east, while the outside is from said desert, but the core is that of a strange large tanned creature said to be the spirit of the sands. I believe it was some sort of animal that held tremendous power, yet was only the first of many beasts." He states with a small hint of fear in his voice for whatever reason. "That wand you have, Ms. Granger, is extremely dangerous, and has even killed people for whatever reason. How it came out here I have nary a clue. But seeing as to how it hasn't killed you yet, then, perhaps it is the very wand meant for you?" He says this right as the adults enter the room, staring wide eyed at the terrifying almost bloodthirsty grin on Hermione's face. She see's a vast desert with winding and whipping around it with a feral like motion. A monstrous creature the size of an ox the resembles what looks to be a strange humanoid coyote of sorts stands over the desert, before the winged cat and the creature fuse together somehow, and the creature stands biped in nature with it's concave mouth morphing into a large Cheshire smile while it's golden eyes glint with power. When she comes back to reality, she notes that the Orders are giving her proud looks, while her parents look on her proudly, yet a hit of fear courses through their eyes for whatever reason. She looks to Ollivander. "Thank you, Ollivander. This wand suites me well, no?" She says to Griphyx who nods his head lightly, the ghost of a smirk present on his lips, while Harry nods with a small grin. She nods firmly and looks around, until a wand holster appears before her, she grins and places it onto her left hip and holsters her new wand. Harry notes that two items appear before him, one being an all black wand, while the second being bright orange. The black one firmly goes into his left hand, while the orange one goes into his right. He feels power course through them along with his fist wand as he feels it splitting into the two wands, forming them into being his, and his alone. Ollivander grins at him. "Very precarious, Mr. Potter." "Why's that sire?" Harry asks curtly. "The brother of that wand, is the very same one that gave you that scar. 11 inches, black holy with the second phoenix feather as it's core. I expect many greats things with you, Mr. Potter, just as the it's brother had done. Terrible. Yes, but great." He states with grin, before paling slightly at the sight of the second wand. "No that one, on the other hand, has caused many a problems with people. It is similar to Ms. Grangers. "The wood used to create it is a red tree, of what kind I am not sure, as it's location was never revealed to me, while the core is a mixture between a strand of fur from a monstrous creature, while it was wound and then then bound into a fire ruby that is as long as the wand itself. Never in all my years, has two wand chose a single user at the same time. Remarkable." Ollivander finishes up his little rant. Harry holds the wands in his hands, and he see's a large looking multi-tailed wolf like human standing above a forest with that is between a sea of sand and a large mountain with a white peak with separate forest around it. The wolf humanoid then fuses with that Alicorn, giving it multiple wolf tails, while it's wings look like whips of flame with feathers on them. When he comes back to reality, he grins down at them, as two holsters form, one red and the other green. The green holster is placed onto his right hip, while the red one is one hidden under his left forearm. He smiles at the group, who smile back. Griphyx looks around, and see's a strange bone white wand with purple and black streaks move through it. He goes to grip it, but Ollivanders eyes go wide, "DON'T TOUCH THAT WAND!!!" He roars, making Griphyx jump and trip forward. His hand collides into the wand, making the old man stares in disbelief when Griphyx gets back up to his feet, ad dusts himself off, wand firmly planted into his right hand. His ring makes a humming sound loud enough for all to hear, as the wand hums back at his touch. He shivers as he see's a silhouette of a strange creature that looks like a humanoid beast that looks to be taller than Father Discord himself. The being then changes its form to look like a strange looking creature that stands tall above mountains, it's back covered in spines or fins while two large fins forms into wings covered in angled spines pointing in all manors of directions. The creatures tail is miles long while the snout is rectangular while it's eyes shine bright blue with multiple other colors shinning brightly in them, the most prominent being purple. The body looks to be covered in strange looking scales, before the body morphs once more, the type remains tall as ever but it then gains that Wyvern looking form, before changing into multiple other creatures for whatever reason. The body turns back into that humanoid looking form as it stares into his own eyes, before nodding it's shadowed head, as if stating that he was worthy for whatever reason. Two massive wing lie fins spread widely, and a blue sphere forms before it's face while it's back, wings, and tail spines shine bright blue. A blue beam shoots out at Griphyx's face, before all he see's is white. When he returns to reality, he stumbles around a bit, before steadying himself with the nearby wall. He groans softly as his ring hums happily before it an he wand go quiet. His eyes open to reveal that they are glowing bright blue with a tint of dark purple around their rims. His hair is no longer black, but silvery white like the moon itself. He looks up at the group of people before him, and see's that Olivander is staring at him as if he were someone of great power. His hands tremble, but his eyes shine with excitement. "My boy, that wand is very, VERY powerful! It was made by a cherry blossom tree with the core of a bone fragments of strange creatures that had once walked this earth before they mysteriously disappeared. My great, great, great grandfather had found these pieces and had built them into that very wand, I had only JUST found it, and it has caused may problems for many of y customers, so much so, that I had bound it into a chest in the basement with a powerful binding curse! How it got out and to you, is as much a mystery as the other two. But let me tell you this, my boy, you are now bound to this wand! And it seems to me that your ring is a magical item as well. Is it perhaps a wand as well?" He asks. Griphyx nods his head. "May I see? I promise I will never speaks of it's or your secrets!" He exclaims/asks. "Sure?" Griphyx says and summons his "wand" before it morphs into it's gauntlet form, making Ollivander grin widely. "I see, so it isn't JUST a wand, is it? Very well, then it shall be your back up wand. Oh, and don't even THINK I didn't notice your first wand either, Mr. Potter. I heard it humming and "fusing" with you two new ones. Do not worry, whatever it could do, it still can, just in different ways." Ollivander states. Discord grins at the old man, making his eyes glow. "My wives and I had helped them find their "wands" and helped "create" them as well. Harry's is made up of gems and elements, while Griphyx was made up of minerals, such as bone, steel, iron, obsidian, etc. I am curious as to how you make your wands, Mr. Ollivander?" Discord asks. Ollivander's own grin widens. "Oh, I would love to tell you, but, I can't say how they are "created"." He states. The two share a chuckle, while the onlookers simply shake their heads, while the three Alicorn's mutter out "only Discord" before smiling at their son's. They share some words, before Griphyx stops as a red haired boy runs right into him, knocking them both over. He coughs softly and looks at the boy atop of him with a brow raised as the boy stares at him. "Yes?" He asks. The boy glares before rising to his feet. "Freakish mudblood..." The boy growls out. Griphyx tilts his head to the side, his long silver hair cascading down his shoulders, making him look like a girl, almost. "What is a "mudblood"?" Griphyx asks in curiosity. The redheaded boy sniffs at this, as if "proving" that he was "better" than Griphyx. Pompous brat. "Mudbloods's are those who were born by muggle parents. Muggles are non-magicals, filthy creatures!" He spits out. Griphyx gains dark look. "I am no "Mudblood", as I have known of magic for a VERY long time. Let alone the fact that I was raised by my father and mother." He growls out. The redheaded boy blinks at him, before laughs up a storm, causing Nightmare to crack into existence next to Griphyx, making the redheaded boy cry out in surprise. "What the bloody hell!?" The boy cries out. Nightmare levels a bone imploding glare(is that possible?) at the impudent boy. "Why are you laughing at my son, for speaking the truth?" She growls out, flashing her sharpened fangs. The boy's eyes go wide, before crying out, "Mother!" like a little bitch! A large redheaded woman who looks to have eaten FAR too many pies in her life charges in next to her son, her wand drawn pointing at Nightmare. "What are you doing to my SON!?" She roars out like a lioness. A pitiful feat considering who she is talking to, ne? Nightmare's eyes turn colder than before and the air around the alley grows cold and heavy with her magical presence. The redhead family drops to their knee's before the queen of darkness itself. "I have done nothing...yet. I simply overheard your...son...laughing at my youngest son's explanation of how he did not know a "mudblood", despite being raised by me and my husband and my sisters, who are gifted with magic." Nightmare growls out dangerously. The two tall redheads gaze at her as if she were a goddess, if only the knew, huh? The redheaded woman sneers. "I see, so you are a freakish one then, hm? Not even a pureblood, hm? I bet your son is a useless piece of trash!" She criticizes with a nasty sneer, for whatever reason. Nightmare's eyes go wide and Griphyx whimpers loudly, making most of the redheads look at him as if he were insane, before he mutters an "oh shit..." before all hell breaks loose. "Pureblooded!? What the BUCK DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING!? YOU INSOLENT COW!!! I SHOULD STRIKE YOU DOWN FOR YOUR WORTHLESS EXCUSE OF MEANINGLESS EXISTENCE!!! I SHOULD RIP YOUR ENTRAILS OUT THROUGH YOUR BUCKING HEAD AND USE THEM TO FEED OUR PETS!! YOU BUCKING WHORSE!!!" Nightmare roars as her magic rolls off her body in waves that send the idiotic bi- I mean woman into the ground! Nightmare raises a hand, and goes to strike it down, but is stopped by Discord's hand. She looks back at him, and stares up at his eye smiling face. Shivers move up her spine, and she calms down only after holding Griphyx close to her form, his head pressed up against her generous bust. "Serves the bitch right..." The redheaded woman mutters under her breath. Discord doesn't even look as he flicks his pinkie finger, making the woman fly back and slam into a wall. "Mess with m family again, wench, and I'll be sure to make your life and eternal Tartarus." The coldness and seriousness of his tone of voice makes all of the redheads, besides two tall jokers, shiver in absolute primal fear as their instincts tell them to run and dig a hole in the ground as that is where their tombstones will be placed at. Discord looks at the three non-affected redheads, and grins at him as if nothing had happened. "You two I like! Like playing pranks, hm?" He asks. The two teens grin and nod their heads like mad making them look like blurs. Discord grins toothily before looking at a long haired redhead with three scars going down his left cheek. "And you must like magic, no?" He asks. This particular redhead nods his head curtly. "Aye, that I do. I am Bill Weasley. I'm a Curse Breaker for Gringotts Bank. I was just about to head to Gringotts. I see you three have gotten your first wands, have you? Interesting." Bill says as he eyes Hermione, Griphyx and Harry. When his eyes lands onto Harry's lightning bolt scar, his eyes bug out. "Harry Potter! Your THE Harry Potter!!" He exclaims. The other redheads stare with wide eyes as they all stare at Harry with odd looks. Harry raises a brow. "Yeah? I'm Harry Potter-Order? What's the problem with that?" He asks. They all gawk at him with wide eyes. "Hello? Something up?" He asks getting irritated. They shake their heads, most likely to clear them, before one of the boys steps forward, the same one that started all of this. "What are you, the savior of the Magical World, doing with these freaks?" The boy asks. Harry's eyes darken. "Their my family." Harry answers. The boy snorts. "Why would you want to be around these...things?" He then points to Griphyx. "Especially this freak?" He asks haughtily. Harry's whole body darkens as his emerald green eyes turn bright ruby red, making the boy and a few of the other Weasley's to pale. "These "freaks" as you call them, are my family. And he is my brother. He just looks different because of his wand. That's all." Harry hisses out. The redheaded boy glares. "And the buck-toothed wench?" He asks. Griphyx's eyes flash with anger and grabs the boy by his throat. The boy's eyes widen as Griphyx chokes him with a single hand, let alone that he is lifted off the ground as well. "Don't you ever call her that again, got it!? You filthy ningen!" He snarls as the whites of his eyes become pitch black and the blue gains a purple tint to it as they glow. His sharpened teeth become fangs as his nails become claws, his hair wisps around as the wind picks up for no real reason. The Weasley's eyes widen from the speed, power and hatred in the boys voice. A man with brownish grey hair with three claw marks going across his face stops and stares at Griphyx as if he were a long lost pup. He moves towards Griphyx and places a hand onto his shoulder, and something roars in his mind as if warning him of something. In his own mind a howl resounds, while Bill grabs his head as he too hears a howl. Griphyx calms down slightly and lets the boy drop onto his arse. He coughs and sputters as he tries to regain air to his lungs once again. Griphyx gazes down at the redheaded boy with anger and a strange primal fury in his eyes as if he were announcing that he was higher than the little ponce. "If I ever hear you call Hermione anything like that again. I'll rip you in half. You've been warned." He growls out as he turns away, but stops and looks up at the scared man. "Can I help you sir?" He asks. The man shakes his head. "Griphyx...?" He asks. Griphyx blinks. "Er...yeah? What's up?" He asks. The man wraps his arms around Griphyx's shoulders, hugging the boy close to his chest. "Your safe and alive! Oh thank Merlin! I heard that Albus had placed you and Harry with the Durselys! Where have you two been?!" He exclaims. Griphyx blinks and tilts his head. "What the hay are you talking about? We were adopted by our new family! Blood and everything!" He states. The mans eyes widen as he looks up and see's Discord. 'Oh lord! He makes Hagrid look like a human!' The man thinks to himself. Discord gives him a toothy smile. "Remus Lupin. Pleasure to meet you." He states. Lupin stares wide eyed. "How did you..." "I looked into your mind. Those dismal mental walls of yours are rather weak. Moony." He states with a smirks. Lupin gulps. 'If this is their new father, then...oh god...he's not human! Non of them are!' He thinks. Discord chuckles. "Of course we're not. Why would we be? Hmhmhm." Discord chuckles out. Lupin stares. 'You can read minds!?' 'Oh yes, I can see and hear everything in hear, dear Lupin.' "Would you like to come by to our Compound for dinner?" He asks. Remus nods his head lightly, in a daze as he stares up at Discord as if he had just met Merlin himself. "Wonderful! Be there at Seven O'clock sharp. Take this ruby and say "Shadow", and you will be brought to the compound within seconds." He explains as he then passes the Weasley's and McGonagall other various gems. "Do not worry if someone else grabs ahold of them, just state "Come to me" and the gem with appear before you." Discord states as he walks towards his family where Griphyx has Hermione hanging onto him. Lupin stares at Griphyx as he feels he watches him go. His long white hair swaying in the wind. The group heads into a building with multiple animals in it, Harry has a snow white owl land onto his right shoulder and rub her head against his cheek as if stating he was hers. He smiles and laughs softly before rubbing her chest feathers lightly, making her coo her liking. The owls white eyes stare into his green. Hermione feels something land atop her head. When she looks up with her eyes, she notes that a white dove stares down at her with a happy gleam in it's eyes, while something rubs up against her leg, making her look down to see a red kitten mewling his happiness for whatever reason. She smiles happily and hugs the two animals close to her chest and squeals happily and moves from side to side. Griphyx smiles softly, but none of the animals seem to even spare him a second glance as they interact with the other children all around the room. He sighs softly and steps out of the shop, looking down at the ground glumly. Lupin, who had just gotten out of his long daze, notices this and walks over. He places his hand onto Griphyx's shoulder, which was slightly difficult, and gives it a light squeeze. "Couldn't find a familiar, huh?" Lupin asks. Griphyx nods glumly. He sighs. "I had the same problem as you, though, they were more afraid of me, due to my little...condition." He says softly. Griphyx looks up at Lupin with a curious look in his eye. He then hears that howl once again as Griphyx's pupils become slits. His body goes stiff and rigged as he shivers. His slightly pointed ears twitch slightly, before he grabs Lupin's hand and runs forward towards a dark alley. Remus's eyes widen. 'Why is he going down Noctern Alley!?' He thinks to himself. He tries to stop Griphyx, but finds that his strength is far greater than his own. He sighs inwardly and decides to just follow to make sure he doesn't get into any sort of trouble. The two move in front of a "Dark Creature Shop" of sorts. Lupin eyes the wizards and witches warily, but then feels himself being pulled into the shop and he stands next to Griphyx who stands before a strange bat that he had never seen before, and a strange looking egg. He watches as the bat rests against Griphyx's chest as it's long tail coils around his neck. It's strange bleach moon white fur gleams in the candles dim light while it's yellow and green eyes shine with happiness as it's lone ears look like horns that are midnight black while it's tail, wings and legs are the exact same. It's large hook-like claws dig through the clothing, yet, do not break the skin. Remus is surprised by how large the bat is as it encompasses Griphyx's chest and belly while the tail is twice as long as it's body is. He then gazes at the egg and is stunned at how pure it looks, for an oversized chicken egg. The egg has strange markings on it as if it had been attacked many times, and yet, has not a scratch on it. He also notes the seals that cover it as well, making him worry about Griphyx's life. Blood had been spilt on this egg, a lot of blood. Griphyx rubs the bat's head gently, it's ear horns twitch merrily. He then gazes upon the egg, and see's a light clear aura around it, as if it were more than a simple egg. He reaches out to touch it, but Lupin grabs his wrist. "Stop!" A voice calls out to them. The candles all go alight as a man rushes up to them. He had long black unkempt hair, pale skin, and sickly yellow eyes. "Don't touch those thi-" He stops and stares as the strange bat climbs up and pears over Griphyx's shoulder, while it's tail continues coiling around his neck possessively. The egg hums softly as it floats closer towards Griphyx's outstretched hand. His eyes glow softly and he places the palm of his hand against the side of the egg, which trembles in some sort of glee. The seals all shatter as the aura rages to life, merging with the bat's and Griphyx's own. He watches as the egg moves slightly and pulsates a strange energy that causes all of the red flames become pitch black and rise into the air like flamethrowers with an inner blue and white flame inside the black flames as they give the shop an eerie look. The shopkeeper and Lupin stare in awe and some fear as the air grows chilled, as if a Dementor had just entered the room. They watch as the egg hatches into a strange looking strange looking serpent that has small looking wings that have yet to be defined. It's eyes open and they flash multiple colors, before becoming black and gold with white slit pupils. It makes a yawning noise while there looks to be small looking limbs that have yet to grow. Griphyx pulls the strange serpent close to himself, and allows it to coil around his neck, while the bat perches itself onto his back and looks over his shoulder like a second head. The two make a purring/chirping like sound that sooths the two older men, and the flames return to their bright red and orange like color from before. The bat's tail coils around Griphyx's feminine waist like a belt making him blush slightly, before it clings to his shoulders, while the "snake" seemingly falls asleep around his neck. He looks up at Lupin and the shopkeeper with a curious expression. "Do I keep them?" He asks. The shopkeeper stumbles back and leans against a wall, his eyes wide. Out of nowhere a bright white light shines throughout the corner of the shop. They turn and see a strange looking phoenix hovering before Harry who looks to have just entered the shop with the others. McGonagall not looking all too pleased, but not saying it, yet. "Take them...just...take them..." The shopkeeper mutters out numbly. Harry smiles up at the phoenix which then trills softly and hooks itself onto his shoulders. It's feathers are snow white with black lightning streaks going through them, while it has a "crown" of sorts that looks to be made up of green feathers. Mother Celestia stares in shock. "That's a Royal Phoenix! But, there are so very few! Even in this world!" She gasps out softly. McGonagall gives her a confused glance, as if she were crazy, but then shrugs it off and away from her mind. When she looks back at the two boys, she smiles softly at them as they had found their "pets/familiars" as it had been recommended to do in the Hogwarts letter before school was to start on September 1st. "Well, shall we go to Gringotts and get some coins to pay for all these things?" She asks. Bill nods his head softly. "I can take you there if you so wish." He states. Father Discord grins. "Lead the way, my friend. Lead the way." He chuckles out. Bill nods his head, and motions for them to follow as the make their ways to the magical bank. When they leave, the shopkeepers appearance changes into a strange looking man with a strange mark on his left arm, his eyes wide, while he pants heavily, a large toothy smile going across his lips. "The Dark Lord will love this! I will be greatly rewarded!" He exclaims happily. "Indeed you will, Fenrir." A cold hissing like voice states from behind Fenrir. The werewolf turns around quickly, and his eyes widen as to red eyes stare back at him with small white slits in them. They hold mirth by the barrels. "Master...?!" Fenrir exclaims. The eyes seem to nod. "Indeed, Fenrir. What has just happened here today will reward you greatly, Fenrir! Keep a close eye on my enemy and that boy, make sure that they do not hinder my plansss." He says darkly with his weak hissing voice. Fenrir nods his head dumbly. "It will be done, My Lord." He says with a bow. The red eyes narrow with mirth, before they vanish back into the darkness where they had appeared. Fenrir Greyback pants heavily with excitement, his golden amber eyes glowing with a strange sense of glee. "It WILL be done!!" He states before he himself vanishes into the darkness, the candle flames flicker into nothing but smoke, and the animals to disappear as the shop looks to appear to be empty. A faint sadistic laugh echoes through the shop as it too, vanishes into the darkness of Nocturn Alley. Gringotts Bank Griphyx and the others arrive at a large white building that has a black plaque that says something about thieves would become lost, and would find more than just treasure. He doesn't care all that much, as he is currently staring at the incredibly short long nosed man standing before him. The strange shark like teeth glaring up at him as they glint in the faint light of the sun. He tilts his head to the left, making the strange little man do the same. They stare at each other, before the mini-person squawks in surprise when the bat and "snake" stare down at the man, as if daring him to attack what is theirs. "Hello, Mr. Ragnok!" Bill states loudly with some worry. Ragnok nods his head, though he stares at the two creatures with a most curious gaze. "Good morning, Bill Weasley. Mind explaining why you brought these people here?" Ragnok sneers out with a toothy smile. Bill makes a silent gulp, as if he were preparing to be gutted in just a few seconds. "I bring them here because they ad business to attend to here. Sir." He adds at the end. Ragnok nods his small head, before looking over at Father Discord and sneers. Harry and Griphyx pale conciderably and back away slowly from their father. As the short man -Ragnok- sneers, Father Discord gives his most evil grin possible, making the entire building grow colder than the arctic itself. Ragnok pales as he feels something bare down on him, a pressure of sorts. "I presume you would not be against my family looking into our son's vaults, hm?" Discord asks. Ragnok shakes his head as he pants heavily. "Who...are...they....?" He gasps out when Discord reigns in his magic, allowing all to breath once again. He looks to Harry and Griphyx. "Harry and Griphyx Potter." Father Discord states. He then gazes down at Ragnok, "As well as the Order's vaults. Ragnok?" Discord states softly. Ragnok stares wide eyed at Discord as if he were meeting Merlin himself. "I see, very well. Though Gringotts has no knowledge of a...Griphyx Potter, was it? Hm, curious. Perhaps it is in the Potter's will. Let us head to Griphook to check, shall we?" Ragnok suggests. Discord nods his head, and motions him to lead the way. Ragnok nods and walks through the building with the "small" group following after him, until the Weasley's are stopped and are brought somewhere else, while McGonagall follows the Order's and Grangers. They move into an office where they meet another Goblin with a pointy curved downward nose and shark teeth as well. Griphook stares at the group, and nods his head. "Mr. Potter, we have been expecting you." He states. Harry and Griphyx look at each other, then to Griphook. "Which one of us?" They both ask at the same time. Griphook tilts his head. "I see, so the rumors were true. Well then, let us get on with the inheritance tests. We will be taking blood tests and magic tests to identify you both." Griphook states. Harry nods his head, while Griphyx stays silent. Griphook pulls out a piece of parchment and hands the two boys a small knife. "Just make a small cut and drip your blood onto the parchment, and we will gains the results. The knife is charmed to heal your wounds once the deed is done." He explains. Harry grabs the knife and gently slides the blades tip along his right thumb. He drips some of his blood onto the parchment. He then cleans the knife off, before handing it to Griphyx, who sighs softly, and grabs the blade of the knife. He pulls the knife down roughly and slices the palm of his hand just enough to do this task. When he drips his own blood onto the parchment, his hand heals up completely as steam rises up from his hand. The blood drops soaks into the parchment, and red letters forms. Blood Test Harry James-Lux Potter-Order Birth Father: James Potter New Father: Discord Order Birth Mother: Lilly Nee Evans-Potter New Mother(s): Celestia Order, Nightmare Moon Order, Luna Order Families: Peverell Potters Evans Hufflepuff Griffyndor Orders Race(s): Human Equestrian Blood Test Griphyx Umbra Potter-Order Birth Father: Unknown Birth Mother: Lilly Nee Evans-Potter New Father: Discord Order New Mother(s): Nightmare Moon Order, Luna Order, Celestia Order Families: Orders Evans Slytherin Ravenclaw Unknown Race(s): Human Equestrian Griphook looks up at the family before him, and see's Griphyx's confused look while Harry has a thoughtful look. "What did it mean by "Unknown" for Griphyx's birth father and other family? Also, Slytherin? Ravenclaw? Who are those people?" Harry asks. Griphook grins at the boys curiosity. "Ravenclaw and Slytherin are two of the founders for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Just as Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are the other founders as well." He states Discord gains a thoughtful look. "I see, so, they both own half of this school, correct?" He asks. Griphook and Ragnok both nod their heads lightly, before they hand over another parchment. "Next, shall be the magic test, and after that an inheritance test, but that will come later. Please, both of you focus your magic into this parchment so that we can gauge just what you have." Griphook states. Harry and Griphyx both grab the parchment, and focus their magic into it. On Harry's half, it seems to become charred as if an intense heat hit is, while strange lightning like designs form into strange looking runes. On Griphyx's half, however, the paper becomes covered in dense fog, as if a bitter cold had just touched it, while markings of clouds, the oceans and such form into strange runes. Griphook nods and takes the parchment from the brother.

McGonagall looks over the sheet, and she stumbles slightly at their magical prowess. 'Their Metamorphmagus and Animagus!? But that doesn't make sense! And Equestrian Magic? What is this "Equestrian" thing? I better keep an eye on them. Knowing as to who Harry is, but Griphyx looks to be more od a danger. "Dark Magic" is at 50 percent being blocked? That seems slightly worrying, but, at least it goes into the "Grey Magic" percentage.' McGonagall thinks to herself. She looks over the parchment once again, and nods, resolving that she would indeed speak with their parents about this situation. Griphook and Ragnok nod their heads, before taking back the sheet, and pulling out the blood stained parchment. The red ink changes into the inheritance test.

The look up at the Goblins. "We own the school?" Harry asks. Ragnok nods his head lightly with a sharp toothy grin. "Indeed you do, Mr. Potters. Now then, shall we answer any questions you two may have?" Griphook asks. Harry nods. "Why are certain things blocked?" He asks. Griphook looks over the sheet once again, and nods his head as if wondering the same thing. He then looks up at Father Discord with an expectant look. "You would have to ask your father about that one, Mr. Potters." Griphook answers. Harry and Griphyx look up at Discord who sighs softly. "I unlocked your abilities, but they soon blocked themselves, as to protect yourselves. Your magic had deemed it unwise to unlock everything immediately, so, over time during your training, you had been unlocking them ever so slowly. Had I had my way, nothing would be blocked, but, unfortunately, or fortunately in this case, your magic blocked certain things as to make sure you wouldn't deal with any magical overload." Discord explains. The brother nod their heads, before they look back to the Goblins who clear their throats. "Now then, the Wills will need to be done another time, as well as looking into the Vaults. Would you two like to link your Vaults together into one giant one? If so, then, it will take up to two weeks for the process to be finished. You both share a trust fund, so you have that to help pay for whatever your needs are." Griphook states. "Let's fuse them together, so that they won't have to deal with constantly moving from one Vault to another." Discord states. Ragnok nods his head and gives them all a toothy grin. "Very well, Lord Order. Now, about your titles, shall you both accept your rings?" Ragnok asks. Griphyx and Harry nod their heads lightly, though confusedly. "Very well." He states as Griphook lifts two boxes, and plops them onto the desk. "These boxes hold your titles, or, "rings" as they are called. They will merge into one if you so wish." Griphook explains as he takes the lids off. Harry reaches into his box and pulls out his rings: one has a lion on it, the next has a badger, the third has a triablge surrounding a circle and wand on it, the fourth being shield. When Harry places them all onto his left middle finger, they merge into one ring that looks like an Alicorn. He nods his head and gazes down at it. Griphyx pulls out a ring with a snake on it, a ring with a raven, a ring with a flower on it, and an unmarked ring. He places them all onto his right pointer finger, where they all merge into one ring with a dragon like creature on the top, much like Harry's Alicorn. He nods his head in thanks and remains silent. Ragnok grins while Griphook seems to smile at the brother. "Congratulations. We will notify you both once the Vaults are merged together. For now, have a nice day." Ragnok states. Discord then clears his throat. "There is another matter that we are here for, Ragnok." He states. The Goblin pales and nods his head rapidly, making it look like a blur. "Yes, Lord Order!" Ragnok squawks out. Discord nods and places his hands atop Griphyx and Harry's heads lightly. "It involves these two. I am positive that you know what I am asking of. Correct?" He rumbles out softly. Ragnok nods his head and has one of the Goblin Guards escort McGonagall out of the office quietly and "politely". "Yes sir, it involves them becoming part of the Order Vaults, correct?" He asks. Discord nods his head tightly. "That's right. Please, get on with it, we have many things that MUST be done soon." He urges. Ragnok nods his head and looks at the bothers. "You two have now been added to the Order Vaults, which will also be fused with your own. Your Order Rings shall be finished when the Vaults are finished as well. Have a nice day." Ragnok tells the two brother, who nod their heads and leave the office with their "group". Once they leave, Ragnok lets out a stuttering breath of fear and lets his shoulders sag slightly, while Griphook's eyes roll into the back of his head, and promptly passes the hell out. Both are unaware of Discord faint laughter that echoes through the room softly. Diagon Alley Griphyx stands with his brother and family who speak about the wonders of whatever. He is currently rubbing his "snakes" head while his bat purrs into his neck affectionately. He smiles softly down at them, before something catches his eyes. He turns and see's a girl with icy blue eyes, and thin blonde hair. She stands next to a man with shoulder length blonde hair with a strange necklace resting against his chest. They both were black robes as they leave some sort of robing shop. The blonde haired girl looks over to see Griphyx gazing at her, and she blushes softly and gives him a dreamy looking smile, before a ponce of a boy rushes out of the shop with a long haired man wielding a cane with a silver snake head for a grip barrels through them. Griphyx's eyes widen and he dashes forward, catching the girl around her waist, making her blush more. The two lock eyes and she gains a dreamier expression. "Oh, hello~." She says dreamily. Griphyx blushes, but smiles all the same. "Hey, are you okay, miss...?" He asks. "Luna. I'm Luna Lovegood." Luna states with a dreamy look that never seems to leave her pretty face. He inwardly shakes his head. Did he just think her pretty? Well, she does have a pretty look about her. And she does smell lovely. "Um, I'm Griphyx Potter-Order. Miss Lovegood." Griphyx says softly. Luna smiles more and nods her head. He helps her get back to her feet, and she is then pulled away by what he could only assume is her father. "See you at Hogwarts, Griphyx~!" Luna calls out dreamily before she and her strange father are consumed by the crowd of busting wizards and witches. Griphyx shakes his head lightly, before returning back to his group, as they continue to go to all the shops. He can't seem to stop thinking about what he had seen when he touched his new wand, however, as it seemed to confuse him. 'Why so many bone fragments placed into one single wand? Oh well, must be a human thing.' He thinks to himself as he and his family prepares to leave for the Order Manor. Order Manor Griphyx enters his room and plops down with a huff. He looks over to the side and see's his bat and "snake" curled up next to each other up against his side. He smiles lightly, before sleep takes him into custody for the night. Author's Note Not very detailed, neh? Oh well, hope you all liked it! See yah next time! Ja ne!
Chapter 4THE TWO POTTERS CHAPTER FOUR By: Vladimir A/N: "Normal Speech" 'Thoughts' Spells Magic Speak Order Compound Griphyx opens his eyes, and moves groggily as Mother Nightmare shakes him gently awake. He stares up at her in slight confusion, before he remembers that Lupin was coming over for dinner in a few hours. He looks over at the clock next to his bed, and see's that it's 4:31 in the afternoon. 'I've been asleep for four and half hours?' He wonders to himself as he gets to his feet. Look over, he see's his bat and "snake" curled up against each other on his second pillow that was placed by his side. 'Cute.' He thinks to himself as he rubs their heads gently, before the sound of the door closing reaches his hearing. Looking back, he notes that his mother had left the room, presumably for him to get changed He sighs softly, before he allows his clothes to drop to the carpeted floor. Moving over to his closer, he pulls out black jeans, a tight black short-sleeved shirt and then a black and white three tailed coat with a hood on the back. His wand holster is then placed onto his left hip like one would a sword if one were to be right handed. He looks around his closet and finds a pair of white socks, which he puts on, and then soon after he pulls on a pair of boots. He moves to look into the mirror, and he wonders if he can change his appearance. He focuses on his old hair color, and watches in awe as the moon white gains streaks of bright orange and black. He grins into the mirror, before looking over at his pile of Hogwarts books, and wonders if he should practice his wand magic. 'Why not?' He shrugs, and moves over to the top one. He skips the title of the book and lips through the index. The words form onto the pages, and he cocks his head to the side. 'Transfiguration? Do they mean changing something into another thing entirely?' He wonders. Looking through the pages, he notes how odd wizards are to wave their wands around and speak incantations, instead of simply waving it while thinking of the magical word or formula. 'Oh well, not my job to judge the texts.' He thinks to himself. Turning left, he waves his wand around three times clockwise, before waving it once counter clockwise and then tapping his pillow, changing it into a stuffed cat animal that he had seen in the toy stores a few months back. He waves his wand once more, canceling the spell. 'Wand magic doesn't seem all that hard, then again, I never had to say the spells instead of just doing them...' He thinks to himself. Getting to his feet, he stretches his arms and legs as he slips the wand back into the holster once again. He spins on his heal, making the tails of his coat bellow in the soft draft of air. He picks up his "snake" and allows it to coil around his neck, while his bat clings to his back, it's tail coiled around his hips acting like a belt of sorts. He moves out of his room and into the hallway. Slipping his hands into his pockets, he walks down the corridors of the building he called home. Minutes pass him by as he finally reaches the main room where his family, Hermione and her family are all sitting in around a longer table than usual. 'It's funny how dad decided to have my friend and her family stay here with us, Faust knows we have enough bloody room.' He thinks to himself. He moves towards the table, more specifically, his chair that sits across from Hermione's, while being next to Harry, who is on Mother Celestia's right. His chair looks more like a throne, however, as it looks to be made out of some sort of metal, instead of wood or rock. Looking up, he notices that Hermione's hair is straight instead of bushy and puffy. Her eyes seem to glow with light and love as she looks around the room in wonder. He smiles softly at her, which she returns, though her cheeks are slightly pink. He goes to ask what is wrong, the door opens, and the guests enter the room. He turns to see Lupin, Bill, Fred and George. The four of them look around in awe. 'Have they not seen human technology before?' He wonders. "Ah! Lupin! Bill! The twins! How lovely of you four to arrive!" Father Discord exclaims with a broad smile. Lupin nods his head to Discord, and sits in the hair in front of him, which so happens to be at the end of the table, looking right at Discord, who sits at the head of the table. Bill sits on Lupin's left, while the twins sit on either side of them. Griphyx turns and looks up at his father as he begins to speak again, "Welcome to our abode, did you enjoy the ride here?" He asks. Lupin eyes Father Discord strangely. "Indeed, though it is rather curious, as to how we were brought before this building like a portkey, but there were no runes on the gem whatsoever. Please, explain to me how you did that?" He asks. Discord's smiles turns into a serious expression. "I'm afraid I can't, not unless you four take an oath as to make sure that nothing we tell you can leave your lips or mind." He states. Lupin blinks at Discord in wonder. He narrows his eyes at the giant man before him, the he sets his gaze upon Griphyx, who moves awkwardly for some strange reason. "I see. Very well." Lupin states as he looks back up at Discord. "Wonderful! But, what of the rest of you?" Father Discord asks with a suspicious look gracing his features. Bill nods his head, while Fred and George's heads are nothing but blurs of agreement. He grins, "Wonderful indeed!" He chuckles mockingly. He watches as the four before him do a magical oath and life oath as to never reveal their secrets unless one of the Orders allows it. As soon as they are finished, he grins. Out of the left corner of the room, Nightmare enters from the shadows, where she then sits next to Discord on his right, while in a flash of light, Celestia sits at his left, while Luna appears in her chair at Celestia's right. The candles die, before reigniting to life with black and white flickering flames that burn brightly, casting more shadows that dance across the room. Lupin stares at the four beings sitting before him with wide eyes as the room becomes heavy with magical power that presses down upon all. His head drops onto the table, making a loud THUNK while doing so. Bill and the twins physically drop from their seats, and onto the floor. Just as fast as the pressure appeared, it disappears into the air itself, allowing the four visitors to regain their postures. The setting sunlight bathes the room in an eerie orange color that adds to the effect of them all being of a different tier all together. "We are not humans, Mr. Lupin. We are FAR older than you could even you could imagine!" Discord states calmly as he snaps his fingers, making food and drink appear onto the long table in a flash of light. "Magic is indeed a wonderful tool. I do so hate to see it wasted. But, alas, it has been dwindling since we came here." He looks up at the four guests, "It is a terrible thing, evil users of magic. But, I do not control them, nor the other races on this earth. That is for them to decide." Discord says softly. "What exactly are you then?" Fred asks while George nods in agreement, apparently unable to speak at the moment. Discord grins at him, before he becomes transparent, and vanishes. "Oh~! How you would love to know~!" Discord's voice echoes throughout the room as if he were a ghost. "I am Chaos itself~! I can bend the universe to my every whim~! If I were to wish you to be a frog, you'd be one~!" He chuckles out "I don't believe you could do that! Nothing can have that sort of power, transfiguration, yes, but most certainly not what you spread lies about now! It's impossible!!" Lupin exclaims loudly as he slams a fist down onto the table. "Impossible, eh~? I see...~! Then Perhaps I should show you~!" A skeletal hand grabs George's chin, making him look left at a decaying version of Discord with massive fangs. George shrieks in fright as his hair turns white and spikes up. Fred, Bill and Lupin flip around to see a large figure in a suite with no face and black tentacles swishing around through the air. "Hm~! Hm~! Hm~! So do you think I am not capable of doing what I wish NOW~?!" The creature sinks into the shadows after dropping George into Fred's lap. The four look around, only to be blinded by a bright white light. When the light dies, they see Discord sitting in his seat once again. Lupin stares at him with wide frightened eyes, while the Weasley's seem to have passed out from the...strenuous situation. He rolls his eyes. "Oh please, that barely had Harry and Griphyx scared! Even the h-...muggles, saw that as interesting. Did you know that there is a rumor about a "Slender Mane"! Or is it "Slender MAN"? Hm... Oh well, point is, I "borrowed" that form from one of my brothers." He says thoughtfully. Remus stares in utter shock. 'His brother!? How!? No human or even normal creature could become that! What is HE!?' Remus questions within his mind. Discord grins wryly at Lupin. "I am not a normal "creature", nor a "human". But something much, MUCH more. Something you may just respect, or hate, or fear. Though, "Fear" is ruled by one of my younger brothers," he sighs and shakes his head with an old and sad look in his eyes, "he is gone, and has been since he was...stopped....by my best of friends. Only one of them still lives to this day, but he is more like a son to me, but I have two son's now, two son's I love dearly." Discord says as he glances at Griphyx and Harry, who both smiles at him, he smiles back. He turns back to Lupin, "But, he is still unknown of just WHERE he is. I can feel his life force burning strongly, and yet, he eludes us." He sighs out sadly. Celestia places a firm yet gentle hand onto Discord's own. "Don't worry love, he'll return to us soon, I can feel it. I also have a hunch as to WHY he will return to us..." She says as she sends a side glance at Griphyx, making Discord's eyes widen, and a wide smirk to form. "I see, well then, let us prepare for that day later. For now, we eat." He states. The Weasley's nod their heads and go to eat, but stop, as Lupin looks around the table for something, but doesn't seem to find it. "Where's the meat?" He asks. Celestia, Luna, and Nightmare seem to stumble slightly, while Discord sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. "*sigh* If you MUST know, we only eat meat every once a week. I am sorry if it is not up to par with your own...menu's, I suppose." Discord states. Lupin nods his head. "I see, so, you all eat it once a week?" He asks. Discord shakes his head as he waves towards the princesses. "No, these three eat vegetables, as if important, while I prefer to be omnivorous, while Harry is similar to his mothers, while Griphyx seems to take after all of us, as well as having a nack for gem candy." Discord says knowingly at Griphyx, who blushes as if he had been caught with his hand in a cookie jar. "I-I'm sorry! I just can't NOT eat them! Besides, they are also part of me and help my mineral magic grow stronger! You know that!" Griphyx defends himself with a huff. Celestia giggles. "Oh, yes, I remember my faithful students assistant told me that exact thing, all those years ago." She says with a small sigh. Discord pats her hand gently. "It's okay love, he was a dear friend to me as well." He says. Celestia nods her head softly, before looking back at the now eating guests, as they watch the family speak of their pasts. "What are you-" "Guys though-" "Really?!" both Fred and George ask at the same time. Luna giggles at their antics. "They do remind us of "her"." She says softly. Discord nods as he gains a small, genuine smile. "Indeed they do, love, indeed they do. And to answer your question, we're-" "Gods." Nightmare says, cutting Discord off as she takes bite of steamed carrot pie. Lupin stares, while Bill, Fred and George break out laughing. They soon stop when no one else from the other side of the table laughs. "Your SERIOUS!?" The three of them exclaim at the same time. Discord merely smirks, as he motions for Nightmare to keep taking the reigns. She smirks back as she waves a hand through the air, making a miniature full-moon forms above their heads along with actual clouds and wind. Lupin groans softly, before he feels a finger touch his chest. He looks down, to see Nightmare poking him in the center of his chest, black mist flowing around his form. "I don't desire for one of my dogs to appear tonight. Go back to slumber, Moony~!" Her voice says softly with a strange echo. Lupin then feels his "inner wolf" recede back into his mind, and he pants out of slight pain and shock. "h-How?" He asks. Nightmare grins. "I am the Goddess of the Night, Dreams, and Queen of the Dark. Being what I am, means all manner of "Dark" beings, or "creatures of the night", as you mortals say, are much like my children, in a way." She states before sipping out of a black goblet filled with some sort of bluish liquid that has fog frothing over the top. Remus blinks before slumping back in his chair, shock present on his face as her words seem to sink in. "And what of you three?" Bill asks. Celestia smiles, "I am the Goddess of the Sun, Day, Light Magic, as well as being the "Queen of the Light". But, being royalty is so long ago, I doubt any mortals would even have any Manu scriptures of our time as rulers." She says with a mock thoughtful expression. Luna giggles and nods her head, before speaking, "I am the Goddess of the Night, Neutrality, Neutral Magic, and was once called the "Queen of the Night" and "Queen of Neutrality". The first I can understand, but the second? Hah! I hardly understand that one!" She says while being mock serious. They nod their heads and then look to Discord, who grins widely. "I am the god of Chaos Magic, Chaos itself, Spirit of Disharmony, and I was once called "The King of Pranks", but, alas, that was FAR too long ago for any normal mortal to remember." Discord says sagely. Fred and George as well as Lupin stare in awe as if their god had just appeared before them with never ending prank bags. He grins at them. "So, do I detect a few tricksters in you three?" He asks knowingly. Fred and George nod their heads as they pull out an odd spare piece of parchment folded up. Remus' eyes widen in surprise, before he regains his "composure". Discord takes the parchment from the twins and waves a hand over it, making strange looking rings with runes on the inside form over the parchment. He nods his head before placing it down onto the table ad pushing it towards Lupin. "I believe you should know that while I applaud you and your comrades for making this map, Moony, that you should have made it harder to unlock. I mean really! Even a young Unicorn could have figured out how to unlock it!" He chuckles out. Lupin raises a brow. "How does a horned horse know how to do anything magical?" He asks. Discord growls deeply within his throat. "They are the only "mortals" besides a few others that still live today from our kingdom, far before mankind was even around!" Discord states matter-of-factly. Lupin nods his head dumbly. "May I ask what they truly look like then? Even in our Ministry we can't seem to figure it out. We can tell there is a powerful charm placed on them, but we can't figure it out." He says. Celestia snorts softly. "That's because I am the one who placed the spell onto them. Only they, or one of us can lower it for whatever reason. I placed spells onto the earth and Pegasus as well to hide their secrets. Just as the Dragon King's placed spells upon their races to keep their secrets hidden as well. Griffin's and many other races have all done this with our help, as we were part of the very few around in the beginning." Celestia chuckles out softly, her motherly tone brings smiles to all their faces. "I see, then I guess that we have much to learn from you all then, hm?" He asks. Discord shakes his head. "No, humans are not ready to find out about us yet, at least, for now. The time soon approaches of when and where we will reveal ourselves, but it is not for a time." Luna states harshly. Lupin nods his had in odd understanding. "I see, well, this is all still very fascinating!" He states giddily. They begin to eat once again, though they still speak, it is of simple things, such as what Hogwarts is like, or what is to be expected of a certain grease bat of a potions master. After dinner, the large group moves towards the back of the manor, where the guests stare in awe at the large forest before them. The trees stand tall like castle spires of Hogwarts. They look around, seeing wilderness that had yet to be touched by mankind and it's power to destroy. Lupin looks back and see's Griphyx standing next to Hermione, who is making the wind spin around her hand in a miniature tornado. 'She can control the wind?' The guests think to themselves. Their eyes leave their skulls, as Harry makes a small condensed fireball form at his fingertips, while Griphyx looks completely normal from them. He lifts a brow. "Something wrong, Mr. Lupin?" Griphyx asks. Lupin points at Harry and Hermione. "How are they doing that?" He asks. Griphyx gives him an odd look, before his eyes show realization, and nods his head. "Magic." He states simply as his back becomes covered into ice raven wings that spread out widely. "Equestrian Magic." He grins out at the four humans before him. Lupin nods his head, before gaining a thought. "How about a demonstration? To show us how Equestrian Magic is done?" Remus asks. Discord claps his hands loudly, startling the group. "What a wonderful idea! Griphyx! Harry! And Hermione! How about you three show your...abilities in a duel?" He hisses out proudly as Amy and Dan stand next to the princesses. Hermione huffs softly and rolls her eyes, before appearing between her parents. Harry smirks as a black and green aura and flames burst off and around his body, while Griphyx gains a black and blue aura and waves. Their hair grows longer and becomes spikier as they seem to defy gravity as they wave around through a ethereal wind. Harry swings his arms outward, making a small foot deep crater form around him, while Griphyx lets his shoulders drop, making a deeper crater by a few feet form around him as the waves rage and whip about as it they were alive. They stare at each other before dashing forward, and locking hands with each other. The flames and waves roar loudly while the wind picks up around Harry and Griphyx. They push each other back. Harry stops himself while Griphyx spins around in a circle before stopping. They stare off once more before the flames around Harry turn into strange tendrils that flow into his body giving him a stronger aura before that too flows back into his body. The waves and aura do the same to Griphyx but as the two collide, a flicker of lightning flashes overhead as rain starts to drip down. Harry dashes forward summoning a flame sword that resembles a claymore. He swings it down at Griphyx, who side steps before sweep kicking Harry's feet out from under him. He then knees Harry in the side knocking him into the air, before Harry starts to spin through the air, Griphyx jumps upwards a few feet and delivers an axe kick. Harry manages to block the kick with the flat of the sword, sending him down onto the ground hard. Griphyx then spins through the air and sends another kick down at his older brother, who parries his kick and jabs him in the chest. He sails through the air before slamming into a tree, cracking sounds can be heard all around. Harry rushes forward and stabs with the flame claymore, but it is shattered by Griphyx's palm towards the tip of the "blade". He jumps back and whips his wrist, making a fire whip form and coil around Griphyx's legs. He pulls downwards, the whip dragging his younger brother down the tree, splintering it heavily as it drops to the ground with a thunderous BOOM! Griphyx kicks his leg, making the whip shatter, and jumps up over Harry's head. He spins around kicking him in the back, making the older Potter brother fall face first into the dirt. He lands on his feet, and throws a blue ball of magic, which expands to the size of a full grown man, with the power of a mini-cyclone. Harry groans softly as he rises to his feet, his shirt torn to bits as small rings cover is right arm. He smirks, "Really did a good job with the wind magic, brother." His arm heals in a flash of steam. Griphyx raises a hand up before him while Harry does the same. "Let's finish this, brother!!" Harry roars out as a red and green and black lightning beam jets out at Griphyx. Griphyx fires out a black, blue and white colored lightning beam which collides with Harry's. Harry's face becomes covered with a strange mask that resembles an Alicorn's face, while Griphyx resembles the same but with fangs and a serrated horn. The whites of Harry's eyes turns black and the emerald turns golden, while Griphyx's whites become sickly green almost black, and the blue a haunting blue with purple shapes circling around the pupil. Their beams crash against each other, and a small wall white ball forms between the two. They pump more and more of their magic into their beams, making the ball move from side to side, before it explodes, sending the two brothers flying. Harry slams into Lupin, while Griphyx into Hermione. "That is enough now, boys. Now please, rest." Discord orders as he snaps his fingers, repairing all the damage that was once caused. He turns to Lupin with a smirk. "Better than you expected?" He asks. Lupin nods his head dumbly. "So much power in such simple movements, are they capable of doing more?" He asks. Discord bellows his laughter, "All of that, and so much more, much, MUCH more than you could imagine!" He hisses out proudly. He turns on his heel. "Breakfast will begin at Eight-Thirty in the morning. Sweet dreams~!" His voice echoes as the four guests become drowsy, and promptly see nothing more. Author's Note Short but sweet, aye? Oh well, see yeh next time ya'll! Ja ne!
