Chapter 1

Harry was in his home in the city of Murrain in the United States watching the news as he ate breakfast. He had moved there a few months after the battle of Hogwarts. He had found Ginny cheating him him and Dean one of his housemates at the same time. To Harry it was the last straw that broke the camel's back aside from the shifting view of the wizarding public and the things that happened to him and who he lost during the battle as well the reaction to him being the Master of Death after finding the Wand and Stone laying on his cloak and they reappeared after he tossed the two items away a few times. He does keep contact with a few of his friends. Luna, Fred, and Neville all let him know how things are in the Wizarding Britain world. He had a falling out with Ron and Hermione after he learned Ginny was cheating on him. He had left her and was getting ready to leave Britain when they came to ask him to give Ginny another chance. He refused and it ended in a shouting match between Harry and Ron. After that he never spoke to them again.

A year after he left and settled down in the city he lives in which was a town then after getting the American Magical Government to agree in keeping quiet about where he is, they loved the idea for there had been some disagreements between them and the Britain magical world. a rift between worlds opened. before the American Magical Government could do anything the Muggle Government was there and soon contact between Earth and Equestria happened. After that there was nothing they could do but let it go. The fact Muggles didn't react badly to the magic of Equestrians was a surprise to all. Harry figured it was because they had gotten pass the reliance on religion to explain how things are things and the church didn't have the power it had before.

Harry was interested in them and learned all he could without going to Equestria himself. After what he learned he was thinking of going to live in Equestria, after all it would be unlikely for the Magical world will think he gone there. He did some research and choose the town of Ponyville as his new home. He has been getting things ready to allow him to move and had just gotten the pass he needed for the portal. He had just finished when his phone ringed. He picked it up and.

"Hey Harry. How are you today?" Mary one of his former coworkers spoke to him. He used to work at a restaurant as a cook using his cooking skills. His boss didn't want him to leave when he heard Harry was leaving.
"Mary what's up?" He asked her.
"Remember when you told me and a couple of others about your former friends? I think they may be here eating. Jack over heard them saying your name." She told him
"Shit. Red heads?" He asked her.

"Yes." She replied causing him to curse. "We're going a bit slower than normal to keep them here as long has possible." She tells him.

"Well the portal is opening at 9:30 and will close once everyone has gone through. Keep them there till 9:50 and I should be gone by then." He says as he leaves the house and gets in his car.

"We'll do Harry. Good bye, may we all meet again." She tells him and hangs up.

40 minutes later finds Harry at the portal gate sending people to Equestria waiting with a number of other humans and some ponies. He sent a note to the American Magical Government about what's going on using a post owl and is now waiting for the portal to open.

"Portal gate opening in one minute." A voice is heard over the speakers. Soon the portal is seen powering up before it opened. Harry walked through it with the others and found himself in another room with ponies. He goes through the needed checks and changes his money and some small gold bars from his vault to bits getting 5,335 bits and soon he enters the lobby. He looks around and finds a wom-mare he corrected himself working at a desk. He walked up to her.

"Ah hello?" He asked her.

She looks up. "Hello. You need some help?" She asks him.

"Yes. I'm planning to go to Ponyville but don't know where to go." He tells her.

"You need to go east to the train station. Take a left when you leave the building and follow the road to a crossroads. Take a right and you should reach it in half a hour." She tells him.

"I see, thanks for the information." He thanks her. He leaves the building and follows the directions he was given. He reaches the trains station and gets on the train after buying a ticket being lucky he came as it was arriving. The train left a few minutes later after he got on and most of the ride was spent just staring out and enjoying the beauty of the land. But when the train approached the village he'd chosen as his new home, Danny finally got his first glimpse of what to expect when the the train followed a bend in the tracks; the city of Canterlot slowly disappearing from sight and Ponyville taking its place.

For a while, all he could do was just stare. Much in the same way he'd done when the colorful train first pulled into the station looking like it came out of a book; though this time it was much less from shock and more of a rising sense of excitement. A smile slowly finding its way onto his lips.

The village, painted with many of the bright colors which also decorated the train, looked absolutely amazing. It had a welcoming aura radiating off it, beckoning anyone and everyone to come and visit.

Several more minutes passed as Harry watched in silence as the train slowly came to a stop beside the platform; a steam whistle calling out the second the train had come to a full stop and snapping Danny out of his dream-like wonder.

The guide he picked up from the table mentioned a town hall in the center of town, which seemed like a good place to start if he wanted to find the mayor. He walked through town taking in the sights. He paused for a minute when he saw a building looking like a gingerbread house before continuing shaking his head at the sight of it. He was about to look around more when suddenly a pink puff of cotton candy appeared in his field of vision from above. Followed moments later by two bright blue eyes.

''Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie. I-just-saw-you-walking, and-I-was-all-like: GHAAASP! Because-I-know-every pony-in-town, but-I-don't-know you. And-you-aren't-even-a-pony, but-a-human. The-first-human-ever-to-come-here. So-not-only-must-I-give-you-a-welcome-to-Ponyville-party, but-also-a-'Welcome-mister-human, you're-the-first-human-ever-in-Ponyville'-party!'' She said in one breath and with such speed all the words blurred together.

''GHAA!'' Harry yelped as he stumbled back and fell down on his rear. Somehow, this pony was able to climb on top of his head without him knowing. In fact, she remained firmly attached to his scalp even when he fell down, giggling loudly.

'How the bloody hell is she doing this?' Harry thought to himself as. ''Wha.. how... you... What?'' Harry's fried mind struggled to come with a proper response to the situation, but was failing miserably.

''I like you, you're funny,'' Pinkie Pie said, giggling constantly. She then jumped down from Harry's head, landed on the ground before him and bounced around on her legs for a moment, as if she was made of jelly. ''Don't you worry, mister human. I’ve got it all figured out!'' And with that, she shot off at a speed that didn't seem possible. Heck, he couldn't move that fast, not without some serious effort.

''Wait, who are yo-...'' He said as his brain finally caught up, only to see that the pink mare had disappeared. ''What just happened?'' He asked himself, when he heard a soft giggle. Looking to his left, he saw an elderly mare with gray hair standing there.

''That would be Pinkie Pie. She’s our village’s premiere party planner. She gets a little enthusiastic when she sees new ponies. Or, well, human in your case,'' she explained with a kind smile.

"A little? More like a lot." He says as he rubbed his head thanks to the overload from what happened a minute ago hurting his brain.

"Perhaps but that's how she is. So, what brings a human here?" The Mare asks him.

"I'm looking for the Town Hall to meet with the mayor of the town." He tells her.

"Well your in luck, I'm Mayor Mare The mayor of the town." Mayor Mare tells him. "So why did you want to meet with me?" She asks him.

"I plan to buy a house here and I wanted to register for citizenship as well." He tells her fishing for his pass finding it partially hidden underneath a bag of bits. It was at this exact moment a small explosion could be heard and a pink streak flew off into the sky. ''What the bloody hell was that?'' He asks her looking at the streak in surprise.

''Pinkie,'' the mayor muttered, still dumbfounded. Not because of Pinkie's behavior, but the request made by Harry.

''Pinkie?'' Harry said in disbelief as he looked at the dissipating pink streak in the sky.

''Pinkie,'' the mayor stated again.

Harry just stared at the sky, not knowing what to make of this, when he spotted a small figure falling down to the ground; hearing a soft "Yaaay!" He shook his head and followed Mayor Mare.

The two are now in the mayor's office filling out the needed paperwork.

I would like to know a few other things, like where do you want to live? Or what about work?'' Mayor mare asked him in a serious tone.

"I have a fair amount of money so I can get a home as long as the price for it is good. As for a job I had been working at a restaurant before I came here. Not one of the best once but my boss and coworkers say I should be working at one in one of the big cities but I was fine at where I was before deciding to move here." He tells her. She nodded and wrote it down. A few minutes later she pulled out a map of the town.

"Now we have several houses around town for sell, before I start how much do you have?" She asked him.

"I have 5,335 bits on me." He tells her causing her to freeze in shock. Harry noted it and said. "Let me guess, it's a lot of money."

"Yes, it's a lot for a pony. You a say that around here your rich." Mayor Mare explains to him.

"Well for me it's a couple of months worth of rent back at my old house." He tells her. "I should probably tell you I got a
good number of bars of gold and silver?" He tells her. She looked at him prompting him to explain. "It's from my family's money. You could say we are old blood but we do work and some of it is added to the family account increasing the amount in it and don't draw on it unless we need to." He tells her which is true for the Potter Family. She nods in understanding after all a few pony families do the same. "I just want a quiet life here or quiet as it can be." He tells her.

The two looked at the map of the town Mayor Mare telling him about the houses and the prices for them. Harry looked at them till one of them got his attention. It sits at the edge of the town and has a basement. "You said this is 55 bits?" He asks. When he was told yes. "I'll take it." He tells her. The two did the needed paperwork and Harry was given the key for the house after he payed the full price for the house. He give his thanks and left the office.

Chapter 2

Harry was thinking about exploring the town to get to know the area better or to go check out his new home. However almost immediately after he stepped out of the town hall, he heard a loud squee and was tackled to the ground. Acting on reflex, Harry turned around to face his attacker and reached for his ward, but he stopped himself from grabbing and using it to accidentally give himself away, two mint-green hands grabbed his hand, pulling it closer to the face of the mare the hooves belonged to.

A golden glow surrounded Harry's hand as two equally golden eyes looked at it. The glow around his limb turned his hand around and wriggled his fingers while he was just sitting there, unsure what to make of the situation.

''LYRA!'' Another mare shouted as she ran towards the unicorn who had tackled Harry. ''Lyra let go of this human, right now!''

''But Bon Bon-''

''No buts, missy. Let go of this poor lady, right now!''

Silence.

Nothing was said after that. The only sound that could be heard, was that of crickets sitting on the back and head of a yellow pegasus walking by.

''...Lady?'' Harry said, surprised and confused.

The earth pony mare named Bon Bon looked at Harry in surprise. Hearing his voice and realizing her mistake as she recognized the tone as that of a stallion, caused her cheeks to turn a bright crimson.

''Pfhaahahahahaha,'' Lyra lost it and her magical hold on Harry's hand broke as she rolled over the ground, laughing at the mistake.

''Lady, I should let you know that I am a man, not a woman,'' Harry said to Bon Bon, raising his voice over the laughter.

''Are you sure?'' Bon Bon asked without thought, her mind decided that now would be a good time to go on a vacation, which made Lyra laugh even harder.

''Last time I checked,'' Harry replied and Bon Bon's head was now completely red, instead of the beige her fur usual was.

''I-I-I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to offend you,'' Bon Bon sputtered in embarrassment.

''You didn't offend me, but you certainly surprised me. Why would you even think I'm a woman?'' Harry asked and Lyra, who just calmed down, burst out in laughter again.

''I'm sorry, I just assumed,'' Bon Bon said, looking everywhere except at Harry.

"Now are you wishing you had at least listened to me." Lyra said as she Started to calm down again. Bon Bon just blushed as she looked at the ground.

"Honest mistake, but not all guys will be mind full about that." Harry tells her.

Bon Bon gave Danny a kind smile as he said that. ''Thank you for not being mad. My marefriend here can be quite a bit to handle at times. Oh, but where are my manners. I'm Bon Bon and, as you probably already figured out. This is Lyra,'' she introduced herself and her marefriend.

''I'm Harry. And what do you mean with marefriend?'' Harry asked, not knowing the meaning of the word.

''She means girlfriend,'' Lyra explained.

''So, you're a couple?''

''Yep, Bons and I are quite close,'' Lyra confirmed, placing a leg around Bon Bon's neck and pulled her close to her side. ''So, what's a human like you doing in a place like this?'' Lyra asked, waving her horn around the town.

''Nothing much,'' Harry said nonchalantly. ''Just moved in, filled in some paperwork, became a citizen and rented that house at the edge of the village.'' Lyra's lower jaw fell down so fast, a small boom could be heard, while the mare's eyes widened in shocked amazement.

''Yo- you... you're going to live here?'' Lyra blurted out, almost bursting with excitement.

''Err, yes,'' and before he could even fathom the situation he found himself in, Lyra shot off. Not as fast as Pinkie, but still with an impressive speed.

''Oh dear,'' Bon Bon murmured, concerned. ''You've done it now.''

''What? What did I do?'' Harry asked the remaining mare, not liking the tone in her voice.

''You're going to live here. A human living here. She is most likely going to get her 'list' of questions she has prepared, for in case if she ever has the chance to sit down and talk with a human.''

''Ehh, should I be worried about that?'' He asks her

''Yes,'' Bon Bon answered all serious as she and Harry watched Lyra speed off. "More than you realize."

'Bloody hell. this town is weird.' Harry thought to himself as he decided to check out his new home after checking the time and seeing it's the later afternoon.

Harry walked up to his new home. His house was a single floor building but with a small attic, according to the information package he got from the mayor. It had a large living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The walls were a faded red with a thatched roof and there was even a small garden. ''Wow, if they call this small, I want to see what they call big," Harry spoke aloud to himself as he walked up to the door and unlocked it.

Closing the door behind him, he found himself standing in a pitch black room. Odd, because he didn't see anything blocking off the windows. Fumbling around to find a light switch, he eventually found one and turned on the lights.

''SURPRISE!''

Harry yelped as dozens of ponies had somehow managed to fill every nook and cranny. And, in his panic, he turned off the lights. Which was a good thing, because, in reflex, he also drew his wand out. He quickly hid it again and turned the lights back on as he heard laughing and giggling at his reaction.

'Welcome to Ponyville, you're the first human ever to come visit here and you're the first human to come live here, party.’ was written on it, somehow fitting perfectly on the banner, despite its size.

''What? Who are you all? How did you all get in here? The door was locked.'' Harry rambled as his mind was, once again, fried from the impossibility of the situation.

''Oh, you silly human. We're all here for your welcome to Ponyville party,'' Pinkie Pie chirped energetically as she dragged Danny with her, introducing him to everyone, or everypony, as it is.

''And this is Rarity, and here we have Ditzy. Big Macintosh, Time Turner, Lyra, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and.....'' Pinkie kept pushing Harry around, constantly telling him who was who, never giving him the time to catch a break. ''And she is Twilight and that leaves me. Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie,'' Pinkie said with a smile big enough, it seemed to split her face.

Harry was completely blown away and his mind had given up to make sense of it all. Instead, it was floating around with the alligator in the punch.... Wait, there's an alligator in the punch!?

"Are ya alright there, pardner?'' An orange Earth pony mare with a cowgirl getup asked, seeing his confused expression and knew exactly what was going on. Chuckling, she said: ''Oh, Ah recognize that look. Don't ya worry a bit. Ya'll get used ta Pinkie's behavior in time.''

"How the bloody hell do you get used to someon-pony like her?" He asked her.

''Only if ya don' think too much 'bout it. Just ask Twilight over there if ya want ta know what Ah mean. The name's Applejack, in case ya didn't pick up on it with Pinkie pushing ya around and such,'' She said as she extended her hand, giving Danny a firm shake. ''Now, ya know most of us, thanks ta Pinkie, but we're mighty curious as ta who ya are.'' She tells him.

"I'm Harry Potter. It's nice to meet most of you." He tells them not counting Pinkie after looking around seeing most of the ponies looking at him.

"Well Harry it's good to meet you and welcome to Ponyville." Applejack tells him.

After a while, when everypony had introduced themselves to Harry, given him some kind words and welcomed him to the village, he just sat down, trying to figure out how this was all happening.

''A bit for your thoughts,'' Twilight asked as she sat down next to him, a cup of punch floating to her hand her in a purple aura.

''I was just wondering how all of this is possible,'' Harry said as he gestured at the whole scene in front of him. ''Where did all this stuff come from? How did you get in? And, most importantly. How the Bloody Hell did Pinkie pull a cannon out of her hair?'' Twilight chuckled at his flabbergasted response.

''Do yourself a favor, don't try to figure Pinkie out. I tried it once, it didn't end well,'' Harry rose a single eyebrow in confusion and Twilight elaborated what she meant. ''Let's just say that I burst out in fire over Pinkie's random behavior.''

''You burst out in fire? How?'' Harry asked with a gasping mouth.

Twilight gave him a grin as she responded: ''Magic.''

Harry looked at her before face palming. 'The rules of magic must be different around here.' He thought to himself as he watched the party. ''… Something tells me it will take a long time before I get used to this place,'' Harry told himself.

''It might not be so difficult with some friends,'' Twilight said, offering him the cup of punch she had with her.

Harry took the cup, thanked Twilight and drank. The words she said went through his mind over and over again. ’Friends. It would be nice to truly have someone to call a friend again,’ he thought as he looked over at his backpack, the pictures of his only true friends and his family safely inside.

''That would be nice, to have someone to help me around here as I settle in,'' Harry said, honestly, making the mare smile.

''Well, all you need to do is ask. We're all here to help, if you ever need it.'' Twilight tells him with a smile.

''I'll remember that. But for now, I believe there is a muffin with my name on it.'' And, as he said this, a loud gasp rose up over the upbeat music and a gray blur shot past. A second later, all the muffins were gone. ''Okay, cupcake it is,'' Harry said dumbly and everyone laughed.

It was late at night, the party was long since over and Harry was fast asleep. It was with some measure of luck that, Harry found a small bed in the bedroom. Although it was too small for him, he made do with it for now. Resolving to buy a bigger bed tomorrow, he let himself be embraced by the gentle hold of slumber. Unfortunately, sleep was not something that gave him rest. Every night, his slumber was marred by his memories, causing him to twist and turn in his undersized bed. A cold sweat covered his skin as he struggled to wake up, but his tired mind wouldn't let him.

Almost every night he would have a nightmare, reminding him of his failings. Sometimes he wouldn't dream at all. He would just close his eyes and open them mere seconds later, just to find out hours had passed. But most of the time, it was just him and the torments of his mind of what he had lost or those he failed. This time, however, there was another presence. A presence that was diligently guarding over the dreams of those sleeping under her night's sky.

Princess Luna stood on the balcony of her personal chamber, sensing outwards to see if everypony was resting peacefully. This was the case most of the time, not many ponies had nightmares. Sure there were foals that had some bad dreams about the monsters in the closet, or about some scary tale they've heard. But a real terror of the night, a dream so bad that it was even called after her corruption, was something that almost never happened. So she was surprised, nay, shocked to sense somepony stuck in a true nightmare. She extended her mind and looked around for the source of the disturbance.

She found what she was looking for in Ponyville. Somepony there was truly suffering from a terror of the mind, a nightmare. She reached out to whomever it was and tried to enter the mind of this pony. She reared back in shock, however, when she was unable to enter the mind of this individual. Nothing like this had ever happened before, no living mind could block her out. But, in her attempt to gain entry to the troubled mind, she was able to catch a glimpse of the emotions from the dreamer. Guilt, shame, regret, pain, anger, despair, and the pain of betrayal.

Luna couldn't be more shocked. These emotions didn't belong in any dream. You could feel fear in a nightmare, yes. But pain, or suffering? No, a dream could never do that, no matter how bad they were. The realization of what she had just glimpsed at came to her a mere second later. This was no mere dream, but a memory or memories. One or more memories so terrible she perceived it as a nightmare. And, although she could enter the dreams of others and help them overcome their darkest thoughts, a memory was not something she could easily enter, or alter. Not without altering the mind of the person it belonged to.

She needed to talk with her sister about this. This was something truly dark. Something that could cause such pain to somepony was clearly dangerous. But what, what was it that gave this poor being such terror that he couldn't even sleep without being reminded? And, although she might not be able to help this poor individual directly, she could help ease this pony’s mind. Make his sleep dreamless and give him some respite from this terror. And so, by channeling some magic through her horn, she calmed the disturbance coming from this pony, making his mind go blank and stopping the memories.

At least for tonight.

Chapter 3

Harry woke up to the sound of birds chirping. It was most unusual for him and it took his sleepy mind several minutes to figure out what it was. Normally, he would awake to the sound of people screaming at each other and the sound of vehicles driving by. Not birdsong. And it confused him greatly in his sleep addled mind reminding him of the Hunt for a minute.

’So, it wasn't a dream. I’m really living on another world and not on the Hunt. I should have known better. I never dream about something like this.’ Harry thought as he rolled over, falling out of his bed as it was far too small for him.

''Oooww.'' He groaned as he pulled his face off the floor. ''Well, at least I'm awake now.'' He muttered as he rubbed his head.

Stretching to get all the kinks out of his body, giving off some satisfying cracks and pops, he went to the shower. He took some clean clothes from his pack, as well as a towel and washcloth. Taking his time to appreciate the working shower, he found it a pleasant surprise that it even had warm water, unlike the cold showers he frequently had to endure in his former house.

After finishing his shower and putting on a clean set of clothes, he set out for the day, knowing that he had to do a lot. First off, of course, was to get something to eat. Then he will have to get some furniture for his house and, more importantly, a decent bed. A rumbling in his stomach reminded him as to what he should be doing first.

Taking a decent amount of bits with him, he headed out and into the village. 'First something to eat, then we go shopping for everything else.' Harry told himself. 'After that I'll put up some of my things around the house and then look around town to see if there's a job, just because I don't need one doesn't mean I don't have to, plus it will keep my mind busy.' He continued his line of thought as he walked to the village.

It took Harry some time to find something he could eat. Most of the dishes listed on the menu were made with hay, grass, or flowers. It was something he hadn't really thought about when he came here, but eventually he found something he could eat. Now, with a belly full of food, he went to the market, trying to find out where he could get the necessities required for his home.

''Well, howdy there, pardner.'' Applejack greeted as he walked by her apple stand. ''looking ta buy some apples here?'' She asked as she gestured at her wares.

''Maybe later, Applejack. I'm actually looking for some place where I could buy a bed. The one I've got now is a bit too small for me,'' Harry replied cheerfully, realizing he hadn't felt this good in years and it reflected in his upbeat attitude; happy he found a job, albeit on trial. And the good mood of Applejack was contagious as well.

''Ah, shucks. Jus' call me AJ. Everypony else does. As for a bed, there's that little old place down tha road that might have what ya're looking for.''

''You mean that place next to, what was it? Oh, Quills and Sofas?''

''Yep, Beds ‘n Scrolls. That's tha one.'' AJ said with a confirming nod.

''You got some weird names around here,'' Harry said.

''Now look who's talking, Harry.'' she said with a grin, putting emphasis on Harry's name.

''Ha, fair enough,'' Harry laughed. ''Thanks for the directions, AJ,'' he waved her goodbye and went to the store, wondering how much a bed would cost around here.

The following morning.

It was the dawn of a new day and time for the princess of the night to allow herself to be submerged in the gentle hold of slumber, allowing her own dreams to flow freely. Yet sleep was something she was unable to find, the incident of the previous night still bothering her.

Walking towards the large double doors of the throne room, the two day guards standing there saluted the princess of the night as she used her magic to open the doors, stepping inside.

''Sister,'' Celestia called out cheerfully to her younger sibling, descending her throne and walking towards Luna. Meeting her halfway, she gave her a hug and a nuzzle. ''What are you doing here? You're normally in bed by now." she asked, taking a good look at her younger sister.

Even though Luna spent the entire night watching over her beloved subjects, you couldn't tell from her appearance. Looking like the strong, radiant ruler she is. Sending out an aura of authority and power, yet calm, and collected. Nopony could have seen, or noticed that the princess of the night was troubled. Nopony, except the one she had spent her fillyhood with growing up.

Where others would see an all powerful Alicorn and co-ruler of Equestria. Celestia saw her for the young filly she used to be, growing up and becoming the mare she is today. She knew her sister, better than any other ever would. And she could clearly see the slight slump in her stance. Her mane was not as radiant as it used to be and, of course, her eyes. Although focused on Celestia, still staring off oh so slightly. Lost in thought.

''What is troubling you, Luna?'' Celestia asked in a calm, caring voice.

''Sister. Does thou think of me as a fair ruler?'' Luna asked, slipping back in her old tongue.

Celestia was taken aback. Where had this come from? ''Luna, what do you mean? Of course you are. Why would you even ask?''

''Because, we look out over our subjects, protect them, keep them safe, both in the waking world and in their dreams. Yet, when I was needed most, I was unable to help,'' Luna confided as she focused on her sister, reverting back to modern equish as she did so.

“How so?''

''Last night, I picked up on a disturbance. A dream so bad, so foul, it caused the pony dreaming a great deal of distress. I have always been able to help those that suffer from the terrors of the mind, show them there is nothing to fear. But when I tried to enter this individual's mind, I was rejected. Forced out before I even was able to catch a glimpse of the dream, or memories, as I learned it to be at that moment,'' Celestia didn't say anything. Centuries of politics had given her a poker face even the best couldn't read, so the fact that a slight shock could be seen on her face spoke volumes.

''You were rejected from the dreamscape?'' She asked, unable to believe this.

''Yes, although this was because it didn't involve a dream, but a memory or to be truthful more than one memories. We both know that entering a memory is a lot more difficult than a dream; more dangerous than a dream. But I was able to catch a glimpse of the pony's emotions as I was forced out. Sister, whoever it is, he, or she had truly suffered a great deal and harbors some anger and the pain of betrayal about somethings that happened afterwards. I haven't felt anything like it, not for a very long time. Not since my time as Nightmare Moon.'' Luna looked down at the memory of her fall into corruption.

''But this also raises some questions. Who is it that is suffering so much? What caused it? And most importantly, is whatever that has brought such pain to our subject still out there? I may not know what has happened, but I know that the pain I felt cannot be caused by everyday problems. Somepony, or someone did this to this individual and this being might still be out there.'' Luna tells her sister.

"I see. Do you know where this pony lives?" Celestia asked Luna.

"I sensed it in Ponyville, but I don't know the exact location,'' Luna answered.

''Ponyville? Strange, these things always seem to happen there. Nonetheless, I will ask for the information of those that came through the tear that day and see who went for Ponyville. Maybe we can find out what it was that had happened to this pony and what caused him, or her such pain.'' Celestia said with a strong voice. Nopony, no, no one would hurt her subjects if she'll let them.

Luna let out a large yawn, tired from the night guarding the ponies dreams.

''Perhaps it would be better if you go to bed now, Lulu,'' Celestia said with a giggle, using her pet name for Luna. ''I will see to it that we find out who it is that had this nightmare and possibly help whoever this pony is.''

''Very well. Good day, sister, I will see you coming night as I raise the moon," and with a flash of her magic, Luna teleported to her bedchamber, leaving her sister in the throne room, deep in thought.

''Whoever you are. I hope your suffering won't be for long,'' Celestia said as she looked out one of the stained windows decorating the room.

It took Harry the better part of the day, but finally he had most of the basic necessities he needed. The bed was the most difficult to procure, as there wasn't anything meant for a human. But with some negotiation and some haggling, in which Harry surprised himself with how well he was doing, he was able to get two beds for the price of one. He also bought a sofa, a table and some stools to go with it, along with a refrigerator, and food to fill it with. Along with several more things to liven up the living room.

After the beds were delivered, he simply placed them side by side, effectively creating a bed large enough for two. All the stuff he'd bought didn't leave a noticeable dent in his savings. But even then, with the full cost of only a hundred and three bits, there was still enough left to pay his rent for a good time to come. And if he was able to land himself the job tomorrow, he would have a stable income, with which he could pay the rent and still make enough to save up. And, should it ever be necessary, he could always find some small chore he could do for a few extra bits.

Yes, things were finally looking up for Harry. He sighed loudly as he sat down in his new sofa, which came with complementary quills and just enjoyed his new home after he put up some of his muggle books and non magical pictures of his parents and friends, taking the time to appreciate everything that had happened to him in the last two days.

Deciding that he better make it an early night, he stood back up to get something to eat. A shower was next, before he went to bed. Noticing that he didn’t have enough clothes, he resolved to visit that clothing store he saw earlier today tomorrow.

Stepping into his bed and enjoying the fact he could stretch out fully now, he pulled the blanket over him. He was glad that last night his nightmares stayed away for some reason and he hoped that tonight, the memories would remain silent as well. Though, deep down, he knew it wouldn't be. This part of him, this link to his former life, it would stay with him, forever. Always reminding him of his failings and the subsequent guilt that followed along with the pain of the betrayals.

Luna once again stood on her balcony, watching over the dreams of those asleep. She was, however, not paying any attention to this. Instead, her focus and senses reached out to Ponyville. Hoping that, whoever it was that had this horrible dream last night, was able to sleep peacefully tonight. Her hope was short-lived, however. Mere moments after she extended her mind to the village, she picked up on the disturbance she sensed the previous night as well. Sighing out and shaking her head, she cast the same spell she used before, making the pony's sleep dreamless.

''May the stars watch over you when I'm not,'' Luna whispered as she looked at the village in the distance, sensing the disturbance diminish.

Chapter 4

Harry woke up the next morning noticing that again he had a good night's sleep. 'That's odd but I'll take it. Better than waking up in the middle of the night or a couple of hours early and not going back to sleep.' He thought to himself. He got out of bed and after getting dressed left the house. He was making his way to the village to look for a job even if it a part time one when he noticed something odd in the sky. 'Is that a pink cloud?' He thought to himself as he watched it pass by. He was going to head in and ask about it when his felt someone appear behind him causing him to roll to the right ready to draw his wand.

"So you're a human." He heard as he saw the oddest creature he had seen before. It was a mix of animals with a lion's paw on his right, a birds arm and foot for a left hand, a goat's head, and dragon's right and a pony's left feet, a odd pair of wings and antlers.

"What the bloody hell are you?" He asked it.

"What am I? I'm a Draconequus. The name's Discord by the way." It-He said with as a banner with his name appeared behind him. Harry looked in shock for a minute before calming himself down. He was about to ask why Discord was there when. "Well I seen what a human looks like so time for some more Chaos, See you later!" Discord told Harry as he disappeared.

Harry just looked at were Discord was and shook his head. "Not even going to think about it." He told himself before looking around and seeing a couple of things Discord did. He decided to use Finite Incantatem on one of the things Discord did. "Finite Incantatem" He said as he cast it on a cardboard cut out of a house after checking to see if there was anyone nearby. it returned to normal. 'Well it works.' He thought to himself as he went deep into town. He did a few more Finite Incantatems on several things that would had hurt someone without Ponies seeing it was him who did it.

He quickly left the town after getting some food for himself and returned to his home and put away the food in the fridge. He was thinking of going back to town when he saw a rainbow colored blast wave heading towards him and before he could do anything it went pass him. He looked around and noticed some of the things he saw Discord did returned to what they were before. He moved into town and looked around. He found Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and three others who he remembered as Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity with a Discord looking Statue in front of them.

He as walked up to them Applejack Saw him out of the corner of her eye. "Hey Harry! Are you alright? Discord didn't do anything to you?" She asked him hoping Discord didn't do anything to him causing the other five turn to him.

Harry shook his head. "No, he appeared to me but was more focused on seeing what a human looked like before something caused him to leave. I just went a grabbed the food I needed and got home quickly." He told them leaving out what he did with his magic.

"Well that's good to hear. Well you don't have to worry about him again now." Applejack told him as she wave a hand at the statue.

"Wait that's him?!" Harry ask in surprise looking at the statue-Discord.

"Yep that's him. Like he should had been." Applejack replied.

The other five ponies came closer and Twilight spoke up. "If you're are wondering how it's because of the Elements of Harmony." She told him. She explained what they are and how the six got them and of Nightmare Moon.

'I would find this to be very odd but different world different rules of magic.' Harry thought to himself. "Well that's good to hear." Harry told them. He left the area to return home and to search for a job tomorrow.

The few days later.

Harry had after Discord was turned back into stone decided to learn more about the land he now lives in. He learned of the other races that live in this world and of the monsters that live in it. He also focused on legends and during the process learned that Princess Luna is the Guardian of Dreams. considering the fact he hadn't had anymore nightmares since coming to Equestria she must have been stopping them. He decided to send a letter to her giving her his thanks. He learned of the Crystal Empire, Tirek, and several others who could cause a great deal of trouble. He didn't want to use his magic in sight of the ponies but he will if he is left with no choice but to use it. He also learned of the norms of Pony society and that there is more mares than Stallions in a 8 to 1 ratio so harems or herds are allowed and their is no limit to the number of mares in a herd.

Harry was eating breakfast when he heard a knocking on the door. "Hold on a minute." He called out. He walked up to the door and opened it. He saw Twilight in front of the door. "Hello Twilight how are you?" He asks her.

"I'm fine but is there anything you need help with?" She asks him. Harry thought about it.

"No. I can't say if I do." He tells her. She deflates a bit before giving him a nod and leaving. Harry went back to his food and finished eating. 'Why do I get the feeling something's going to happen because of her.' Harry thought as he put the dishes in the sink. He locked the door and made his way to the Apple Family Farm. He had gotten a job there to help out with the farm if they need it so he checks in if he's not told to come back to help the next day before going about town. He was planning on meeting with Rarity to get a few more clothes if there is time for him to do so and have the letter he wrote sent to Princess Luna.

He left his home and made his way to the Apple Family Farm. A few minutes of walking has him entering the farm. He come up to the house and saw Applejack leaving it. "Hey AJ. Got anything that needs to be done today?" Harry asks her. Applejack thinks about it and replied with a no but in a week they will need the help. "Ok then, I'll be back in a week but if you need help with something then let me know and I'll help out." He tells her. He left the farm after saying "see you later." and headed back to the village.

Harry was about to make a turn to Rarity's Carousel Boutique when he heard the sound of many people running. He turned to look and saw a mob of ponies running after a flying doll. When he looked at it he felt a compulsion to get it and keep it from anyone else. Thankfully his Occlumency kept him from doing anything but it was a close call. He watched as the doll and mob pass by him seeing the ponies in the mob having hearts in their eyes. 'I don't want to know why this is happening but may as well put a end to it.' Harry thought to himself as he followed the mob.

Harry followed them but it soon appeared to him he would need to do something to get ahead of the mob to remove the spell on the doll. He enters a alley and after checking to find no one in it or looking in he then Disapparate from the alley and appeared near his home and moved towards the village and saw the mob following the doll. He aimed his wand at it before casting "Finite Incantatem." The spell missed and hit one of the ponies who wasn't affected by the spell. 'considering it targets the mind, I'm not surprised.' He thought as he tried a few more times and still missed it. He kept it up for a few more minutes before giving up on it, The blasted doll kept moving out of the way of the spell and it didn't work on the ponies.

Harry saw Rainbow Dash and Rarity watching the mob from a distance and joined them after removing his cloak and putting both it and his wand away. "What is going on here?" He asked them.

"Twilight went a little crazy trying to find something to write a friendship report about for the week and casted a spell on the doll. However as you can see it got out of hand." Rarity told him.

"Well that's just bloody great. And it looks like most of the town got caught up in it." He told them.

"Indeed that is true." Rarity agreed with him as Rainbow Dash nodded. "Spike was with us a few minutes ago but left to write a letter to Princess Celestia and send it to her so she can came and put a end to this." She told him.
"And how can he get a letter sent to her that fast?" He asks them.

"Spike has the ability to use his fire breath to send letters to Princess Celestia quickly. It will take a few minutes at least for it to get to her but she can then come here quickly and undo all of this." Rarity told him.

Harry sighed before deciding to speak to Rarity about him getting new clothes for there isn't anything they can do. "This may be odd but sense there's nothing we can do about this I would like to speak to you about getting me some new clothes." Harry told Rarity. She thought about it and agreed so the two spoke of the clothes Harry would like and the price for it. In the end of it the two settled on a price as Rainbow looked at them before shaking her head at them.

It was about a hour later when Princess Celestia appeared in a teleport and after seeing the mob chasing after the doll casted a spell hitting it and it fell to the ground as the mob behind it stopped or ended up in a pile up of ponies. The three made their way to her as Twilight appeared. She soon turn to check on the ponies in the pile up as Twilight meet with her friends.

Harry made his way to Princess Celestia. "Your highness. It's a honor to meet you." He told her.

"Well hello. I didn't expect to meet one of your people here." Princess Celestia tells him. "What brings you here?" She asks him.

"I came to Equestria to live here a little over a week ago." He tells her.

"Indeed? Well then I formally welcome you to Equestria. You are the first of your people to come here to stay as a citizen. I hope your stay has been pleasant." She says to him.

"It has been nice here aside from Discord and this." Harry says as he wave a hand at the ponies leaving to head home. "It has been more pleasant living here than it was back at home." He tells her with a smile. "Speaking of which." He says as he pulled out the letter. "Please give this to your sister. It has my thanks for her." He tells her as he handed it to her.

"Your thanks? For what?" Princess Celestia asks him.

"For doing one of her jobs." He tells her. "I'm going to head home, going to need some rest after all this. Have a good evening your highness." He says as he left to return to his home.

Canterlot night time.

Princess Celestia and her sister are eating dinner when Celestia decided to speak. "Sister, remember when I told you what happened early today at Ponyville?" She asks Luna who nodded. "I meet a human there who moved there in live in Equestria. He give me a letter for you." She tells her.

"A Letter? What for?" She asks her sister.

"He said for doing one of your jobs. I hadn't read to so lets do it together." Celestia tells her sister who agreed to. They opened the Letter which said.

"Dear Princess Luna

I write this letter to give you my thanks for dealing with my nightmares. They had been hunting me ever since I was young and had gotten worse as the years went by till they reached their peak thanks to some events that started when I was 11 and ended five years ago. During the last five years of my life were the worst for I could never get a full night's sleep always awaking in the early morning before dawn and was never able to get back to sleep after waking up. I won't speak of those events for now if you hadn't seen then in my dreams for I don't trust easily thanks for the last events before the beginning of those last five years of my life I have lived.

Sincerely,
Harry Potter"

"I would say he has something to hide but with the feelings he has when those nightmares happen I can't blame him. But if what he says is true the what kind of life he had? Was it truly that bad?" Luna asked her sister.

"I don't know he didn't seem troubled by anything but I believe we best keep a eye on those who come for the human world. I give a order for the guards and those who work at the portal hub to keep a eye on those who come through and if they say his name asking for him. I want to make sure that what ever happened to him doesn't continue. Plus you said there are feelings of betrayal, that means what caused those nightmares are still out there in the human world. He's now one of our subjects, I won't let them harm him anymore." Celestia told her sister who agreed with her.

Celestia wrote a letter and had it sent the the portal building quickly before heading to bed. Luna returned to the balcony of her personal chamber, sensing outwards for dreams and nightmares starting with Ponyville. "I may not know what happened to you but I will still help however I can." She speaks to herself as she found Harry's dream and stopped the nightmare.

Chapter 5

It has been a couple of weeks after the crazy day involving the doll and the need it want it charm on it (a limited Imperio spell to Harry). And things had settled down in Ponyville for now aside from Rainbow Dash crash landing into the ground and being sent to the Hospital three weeks ago and was let out four days ago. Harry was there watching her perform tricks in the air when it happened he was able to cast Arresto Momentum while it didn't stop her slowed her down to only get a broken wing. Harry knew from experience that something will happen sooner or later. He also noticed that Twilight and her friends have been speaking to him some more like Rainbow Dash asking him if he wanted to watch her do tricks which was why he was there.

He was in town when he noticed Ponies putting up decorations. He saw Applejack and Twilight at the Apple Stand and walked up to them. "Hey AJ Twilight what's going on?" He asked them.

The two looked at him for a minute before remembering he was from a different world. "It's a couple of days before Nightmare Night. It's a holiday were ponies dress up and go door to door getting treats." Twilight explained to him.

"So it's like Halloween." He thought to aloud to himself as he checked the date and saw it's going to be Halloween on the same day. He saw the two looking at him questioningly so he started explaining. "It's a human holiday were humans do the same thing but kids or foals as you call them are the ones doing it while their parents go with them." He tells them. "It's also on the same day now I think about it." He continued his line of thought.

"That's interesting to know but why do you have it? We first have it because of Nightmare Moon." Twilight asked him.

"It used to be known as All Hallows Eve. The night when it was thought the barrier between the living and the dead is the thinnest and the dead will walk among the living. People would leave out food and candies for the dead, in the hope that the evil spirits would leave them alone. They would also carve out turnips and rutabagas, and place embers in them to ward off the evil spirits." Harry told them. "Halloween's roots can be traced back to Celtic culture in Ireland. According to their "Druid" religion, November 1st was New Years' on their calendar. The celebration would begin on October 31st ,and last into the following day. The spirits of all who died in the prior year, would rise up and roam the earth on this night. This is an evil night when spirits roamed the streets and villages. Lord Samhain, the lord of Darkness, would arrive in search of the spirits to take them to the underworld." Harry explained more of the beginning of All Hallows Eve. "And it was started thousands of years ago. It became as it is known now by The Roman Catholic Church who wanted to have people believe in their God and leave the Gods they believed in at the time but it didn't succeed in making it forgotten but it did cause it to change into what it is now." Harry finished explaining.

Twilight was writing it all down on a note book she keeps on hand fascinated by the information while a good number of other ponies nearby listened in for they wanting to know about the holiday. She looked up thoughtfully before speaking to Harry. "So what are you going to dress up as? Nightmare Night is for everyone and we all can dress up." She asks him.

"I'm afraid I won't be out for the day at all. I'll be staying in my home and till the next day, and before you ask it's personal." He tells her. Twilight nods as he leaves them.

"You think this may be something involving those nightmares the letter you got from the Princess was speaking about." AppleJack asks Twilight in whisper.
"Maybe. We'll have to speak to the others about it and check in on him then." Twilight tells her.

Flashback to the day after Twilight went nuts:

Twilight and her friends along with Spike were at a hill having a picnic to make up for the one ruined the day before when Spike breathed out a letter. "Wonder why the Princess sent this?" He asked them.
"I don't know but lets read it." Twilight tells him. Spike opened it and read the letter.

"Dear Twilight
I wrote this letter to you to tell you of Harry. Yesterday before I came a spoke to you he had came up to me and give me a letter for Luna saying it has his thanks for doing one of her jobs. When the two of us read the letter to her we quickly understood why. He has spoken of being hunted by nightmares for most of his life and they had gotten worse when he reached the age of 11 and kept doing so till the age of 17 when event he didn't tells speak of made them found there peak and he hasn't gotten a full night's sleep for five years and till he came to Equestria. This has worried us for what ever as been causing him nightmares may still be out there in the human world. We had told our guards to look out for anyone who has spoken of his name for he's now a citizen of Equestria after he moved to Ponyville and signed for forms for becoming one. I will like for you to try to learn more about him but don't force him to tell you, let him tell you in his own time.
From Princess Celestia."

Twilight looked at her friends. "What is it that is cause him to have those kind of nightmares and for so long?" She asked them softly.
"I don't know dear but we must let him tell us if he wants to." Rarity tells her.

"Ah don't know about you but ah vote that we watch any other humans who come to Ponyville and if they saw anything about Harry warn him and get him out of town till they leave." Applejack told her friends. She was the closest to Harry working along side him on her farm and liked his jokes. The other five mares agreed with her and they returned to town.

Twilight and her friends along with Princess Luna who joined them after they told her why Harry wasn't in Ponyville after they helped her out with the townspeople and she noticed he wasn't there. They came up to his door and saw a bowl out with a few pieces of candy in it with note saying "two pieces each only" on the door. they walked up to the door and knocked on it. "Who ever you are please leave. There's a bowl on the rail."

They looked at each other before Luna walked up to the door and spoke. "This is Princess Luna and we will like to speak with you." She tells Harry.

It was a couple of minutes before the door opened. Harry was seen looking a bit worn out as he looked at them. "Why are you here?" He asks them.

"We are worried about you after what you told Twi and AJ and came to see if we could help you." Pinkie said as he hopped in place.

"There's nothing you can do." He tells them.
"Perhaps not but may we come in?" Princess Luna asks him.

Harry sighed before letting them in. As they enter the house they saw a circle with a few runes and candles with two pictures. "What are you doing here?" Twilight asks him as Luna watches him carefully.

"There is another reason for All Hallows Eve. It's a day to morn the dead, and it goes double for me." He tells them.

"Your parents?" Luna asked him after noticing that the pictures are of humans who Harry looks like a mix of. Harry nodded at her.

"But why double for you?" Twilight asked him before it came to her. Harry nodded at her when he saw the look on her face. Her friends looked at her but she spoke saying it. "This was the day they died?" Causing them to look at Harry in shock.

"They were killed when I was a baby." Harry told them planing to say part of the truth.

"Killed you don't mean they were murdered." Luna said in shock.

"My parents were apart of a group fighting against a terrorist but went into hiding when I was born. They were betrayed by one of their friends and he came to the safe house and killed them. He would had killed me if it wasn't for a trap set off by my mother." He told the seven who looked at them in horror. "I was a year and a half then. The only thing I can remember about them is my mother asking for him not to kill me and him laughing like a mad man as he killed her. everything else I know about them are stores and pictures I was given by some of there friends. I have been doing this for the pass five years when I learned about All Hallows Eve." He tells them as he sits down with the pictures in front of him.

Fluttershy quickly moved to him and hugged him. They rest of them joined in even Princess Luna for she now understood what he meant when he said he was hunted by nightmares when he was young. The mane six and Luna stay with him as he did the ritual the muggle way. A couple of hours later they left with Luna stopping at the door for a minute. "If you ever want to talk about something we are willing to listen to you." Luna told him.

"I'll think about it but thank you your Highness." Harry told her.
"Please call us Luna. It's tiring hearing us be called that all the time." She told him.
"Very well. Have a good night Luna." He told her for he could relate to her because of the "Boy who Lived" Title he had. She nodded to him and left.

Harry closed the door and locked it before heading up to his room. 'I never thought I would tell them that.' Harry thought to himself. 'Ah well. It couldn't be helped cause I had to explain it.' He finished as he got in bed and fell asleep.

Luna met her sister in the dinning hall the next morning. "Good morning Luna. How did last night go?" Celestia asked her.

"It was fine for the most part. We did have some trouble when we first arrived at Ponyville due to the towns ponies panicking when I appeared as Nightmare Moon but with Twilight and her friends along with a foal named Buttonmash we were able to fix things. However we did managed to learn a bit about young Harry." She told her sister.

"Did you manage to learn about why he has those nightmares?" Celestia asked her.

"One of them. His parents were killed by a terrorist because they fought him and his men before he was born and they went to hiding when he was before they were betrayed by a friend when he was a year and a half old with his mother being killing in front of him which he remembers her asking him not to kill Harry before he killed her while laughing." Luna told Celestia and quickly casted a silencing spell on the room when she noticed the raising anger.

"WHAT!" Celestia shouted in anger.

"Sister please calm down he's dead. Harry's mother killed him with a trap when he killed her. It's also the only thing that he can remember if his mother." Luna told her as she calmed her sister down.

Celestia calmed down as Luna removed the spell she casted. "If this is the start of what cause those nightmares then I fear what is cause the rest of them." She told Luna.

"I agree with you. We believe we must watch the humans who come to Equestria, not only for those who betrayed him but any who could has been with the terrorist group he spoke of." Luna told her sister. The two finished eating and left the room.

Author's Note

Harry will tell them some of his past but he won't say anything about magic and till after he is forced to use it and explain why he didn't.

Chapter 6

It has been a few weeks after Nightmare Night and Harry has been settling down and getting used to the general insanity you would find in Ponyville like the events of the mysterious Mare do Well which he figured out what was going on and had a small laugh about it. He had also gotten close to some of the ponies living in town like Applejack, Twilight, and a few others. He didn't tell them anymore of his past but he could tell they were interested in it but are waiting for him to tell.

Harry was in his home reading more about the new world he is in. He was reading about dragons to see any differences between the ones in his old world and the new one he now lives in. He was reading of the greed growth when he heard the sounds of people screaming. He went outside and saw what looked like a large version of Spike. 'Oh you have to be kidding with me. The odds of this.' Harry thought as he knew what was going on because he was just reading about it. He grabbed his wand and cloak and ran to town.

He soon came up to the town and put on the cloak. 'I really don't want to have to do this but Spike will cause a lot of damage if this keeps up.' Harry thought as he looked for Spike. One thing he is glad for is that Spike doesn't have the same amount of magic resistance as the dragons of the wizarding world. He saw Spike and casted Stupefy and it hit Spike causing him to stop before shaking his head and looking around. 'Ah crap.' Harry thought as he casted it twice which then knocked Spike out. 'So he does but not as much when he under goes Greed Growth.' Harry thought to himself as he removed the cloak and hid his wand.

He watched as Spike returned to his normal size and ponies came up to the two. Twilight and her friends ran up to him. "Are you two alright?" She asked him.

I'm ok. I heard so ponies screaming only to see Spike under going Greed Growth from my home and came over to see if I could help put even if it was getting people out of the way." He told her.

"Greed Growth? What is that?" She asked him as ponies near them listened.

"From what I read young dragons under go Greed Growth if they get too many items for themselves and are not disciplined when they demand for more items. It sets off their hording instincts and causes them to get want ever they want regardless of with it belonged to while causing them to grow larger in size. Older dragons can be affected by it but that rare." He explained to her. "It was in a book about dragons that I took out from the library. I can give it back for you to look at if you want." He told her.

"Yes please. I will want to look it over for anything I had missed or forgotten about when I read up on dragons went I first got Spike." She told Harry. "Still do you know what knocked him out?" Twilight asked him. Harry shook his head no. Then Spike was seen waking up.

"Ow." He said as he got up. Twilight walked up to him as he looked around. "Um what happened?" He asked as he saw everypony around him. Twilight explained what happened to him. "Oh. Sorry everypony um I'm willing to help fix things if needed." He told everypony around him.

Harry watched as Twilight pulled out a scroll and wrote down some of the things some ponies would like Spike to do to make up for the trouble he caused to them. After that was done. "Hey does anyone know what stopped me?" He asked Twilight.

"No we just found you and Harry here and Harry said he doesn't know." Twilight told him. "Do you?" She asked him.

"All I right was bits of what happened from what you told me but from what I can tell was some kind of red light appeared three times towards me. A spell of some kind I guess?" Spike told her with a shrug of his shoulders.

Harry headed back to his home has he thought of want happened. 'sigh. This place is one big trouble magnet.' He thought as he entered his home and grabbed the book he was reading. He also picked up the other books he was done with. He made his way back to the library carrying the books. He entered the library and saw Twilight writing a letter. "Hey, here it is." He told her giving her the book. "Brought back the ones I was finished with as well." He told her. She nodded her thanks as Harry went to get a couple more books to read.

A few minutes as passed before Twilight spoke up. "Hey Harry. Did humans use magic? Well in the past?" She asked him.

Harry froze for a minute before calming down. "We have legends and stories of people who could use magic in the medieval times. The most famous person said to be able to use magic was Merlin. You can put him at where you would put Star Swirl the Bearded." He told her. Twilight nodded as she wrote down what he said. Harry continued to tell her about it before she asked him why aren't any. "Word of warning, your not going to like what you will hear next." He told her. "Eventually things changed. The Church used the power they had gained for people who worshiped Christianity to stamp out the idea of magic being good claiming it was the work of the devil and those who use it are evil. It set off the witch trails in where if someone is to believed to be able to use magic they will be tried by drowning, burned at stake, and a few other ways. In those like drowning if they survive they are a witch and if not then oops our bad." He told her with a shake of his head. "They even killed children if it was thought they have magic. If there are any true magic users left, they are dead or in hiding using magic to do so. It hadn't been done for centuries and not everyone these days agreed with it now." He told her. Twilight looked at him in horror. Harry left the library a minute later after checking out a couple of books.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Several weeks later

Harry sat in his home as he thought of what happened before the hunt as he looked at the date. 12/24 Christmas eve. It was snowing outside lightly. Harry thought back to the only time he knew was a true Christmas eve was during the Christmas break of his fifth year when he was able to spend it with Sirius be for he fell into the veil seven years ago. He smiled as he remembered what Sirius did. He sat in front of the fireplace as he watched the flames. He pulled out the shard of the commutation mirror he was given by Sirius and looked at it. Every now and then he saw something flash on it before it disappeared. He put it away in a drawer and headed up to his room to go to sleep.

Dream: Five years ago

Harry was walking down a hallway having gotten out of the medical wing after his fight with Voldemort to check for injures and had recovered his cloak. He was looking for Ron and Hermine wondering where they had gone when he heard them speaking to some of the Order members.

"What do you mean you hadn't been able to feed him the love potion!" He hear Ginny near shouting at the two.

"He always the one who got up first before us and he was the one who knew how to cook. Me and Ron didn't know he could and before we knew it he was the one doing it every time we ate. We couldn't even try to stun him for he always keep a eye on us in case one of us got imperioed." Hermine told Ginny. Harry listened as he hear plans to try to get him to drink and love potion and get some control over him not believing what he is hearing but can tell they weren't joking. He quickly and quietly moved away from the door glad he had his trunk in pocket and he knew now to make a portkey. He made one and headed to Diagon alley and headed to the bank. He collected his gold and after getting a few books on spells and runes headed out to London.

Three years later

"Expelliarmus!" Harry called out as he ran through the woods dodging spell fire. "Impedimenta." He said hitting Ron slowing him down.

"Come on! Harry just give it up and come back with us!" Kingsley called out.

"Fuck you!" He said as he jumped over a fallen tree and rolled under a Stupefy. Harry ran for several more minutes before he came upon a cliff. "Shit!" He cursed yet grinned inside for he knew he will be able to throw them off his trail. 'At least they don't know where I live but I'm going to have to keep a eye out after this and keep the cloak on me.' He thought as he turned around and faced his former friends.

"This is it Harry. no where to run anymore." Ginny told him as he looked at them. He grinned as he stepped back off the cliff before disapparating. He apparated to the restroom near his car and got the hell out of the dodge.

End Dream

Harry woke up. He looked around before calming down. 'Not that bad but not something I would like to remember.' He thought as he got up and got ready for the day after checking his clock and seeing it's six am. He made himself some breakfast before setting some tea to boil. He then headed out carrying gifts for Twilight and her friends he met in a pack. He walked around town dropping off gifts for the CMC and for the Mane Six before heading back up to his home.

A few of hours later near noon Harry heard someone knocking on the door. He walked over and opened it. He found Twilight and her friends along with the CMC in front of his door. "May we come in?" Twilight asked him. Harry nodded and let them into his home.

"So what brings you all here?" He asked them. They looked at each other before.

"We came here so you won't be alone today, no one should be on this day." Twilight explained to him.
"Yeah! No one should be alone on this day when they can spend it with others!" Pinkie said every cheerfully as she hopped around the room before landing on one of the couches.

"Plus we found and opened the gifts you dropped off for us." Twilight continued. "So we decided to do the same but also thank you." She told Harry as they pulled the gifts he hadn't noticed off there backs. They give the gifts to him before pulling out the ones he was gave to them. "We thought you would like to know how we thought of what you give to us." Twilight explained to him. He nodded in understanding.

They opened the gifts one at the time. Harry had gotten my things from the others like books from Twilight, some new clothes from Rarity, comics from Spike, and other items. Harry's gifts to them where mostly mundane but he did dip into magical items that he can easily explain. Twilight got books on history of humans. Rarity he give Acromantula silk saying it was silk from silk worms. Rainbow Dash got a pair of goggles enchanted to keep water from staying on the lenses when the wearer is moving. Pinkie got a cookbook for several types of baked goods for her to learn how to make (and not so he can get some tentacle tarts.). Applejack got seeds of a few different types of apples from the human world and a book on how to make juice from the apples. Fluttershy was given books on animal care and how to treat injures or diseases. For the CMC he got books on hobbies for them to try out (And to try and cut down the amount of trouble they could get into.).

They spoke and talked through out the day telling stories and what not before it was near sunset. Harry give his thanks to them as they left. He sat down on a chair and thought back to the day. He was really glad to have come to this world, for things are much better than it has been his whole life.

It has been a couple of months after Christmas. Harry had ended up watching some of the things he saw happened but really didn't do much. But for a couple of things like when those two ponies tried to force the Apples off their farm he did do a couple of things. Like casting mild Confundus spells on the two slowing them down slightly and helping the Apples as they worked. He was surprised to see how quickly the CMC went through the books he give them. It did keep them out of trouble for a couple of weeks at least.

Harry is packing up a few clothes for a trip to Canterlot. He has been invited by Twilight and her friends to join them as they go up to the city for a wedding. He had thought about and decided why not, beside the last one he been to had been interrupted so he didn't see the harm of it. He did however pack his wand, sword, and cloak for he had a feeling something will happen. He checked to make sure he had everything and then left his home heading to the train station.

Chapter 7

Author's Note

Sorry for not being on this for a long while. I have been busy with a lot of things so I only just now got the time to start up again.

Chapter 7

Harry walked with his friends as they walked towards the castle. Twilight can be heard muttering about slapping her brother for not letting her know about the wedding ahead of time or telling her he was interested in a mare. Harry shook his head at her amused with what she is saying as he looked around the city to see the sights as well as keeping a eye out for anyone he knew. He was worried some by the increased number of guards and the barrier that covered the city. After several minutes they reached the gates of the castle. Harry was awed with what he sees, it was to him better than Hogwarts was before the war.

They were soon greeted by a unicorn as they enter the courtyard. "Twily!" He called out as he came up to Twilight and hugged her. "It's good to see you." He told her. Harry figured he was Shining Armor as Twilight went off on him about not informing her about the wedding earlier. Shining Armor managed to calm her down. "So do you mind introducing me to your friends?" He asked her as he led them into the castle not knowing he only delayed the onslaught.

"Those are Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Harry, my friends." Twilight said as she pointed each of us out to Shining Armor.
"It's good to meet you all." He said with a smile. 'Well he not going to be smiling in a minute.' Harry thought as hurricane Twilight was unleashed on him. Harry watched as she ripped into him for not telling her he was seeing somepony or letting her know of the wedding ahead of time. He kept trying to say sorry but Twilight wasn't letting him.

"Twilight." Harry spoke up interrupting her as he puts a hand on her shoulder. "Give him a chance to explain himself will you." He tells her as he looked at Shining Armor who understood what Harry is saying.

"Sorry Twilight I was busy with my job as the captain of the guard and I thought I had done so earlier, Looks like I was wrong." He told her with a sheepish look as the two walked off talking calmly once more as the others followed.

Harry followed the others till they split off to the rooms they were given dropping off their bags and heading out to do the jobs they had been given for the wedding. Harry moved about the castle keeping his wand in it's holster while the cloak and sword are in the moleskin bag. He walked for a hour before coming to the gardens. He walked through it checking out the sights. He found a bench and sat down enjoying the peace and quiet for as long as it's going to last till whatever is causing the feeling he has acts.

He thought about what's going on and what he overheard. Why would someone give a threat to the wedding when they could just attack when it happens without making it harder for them... Unless they want them to look for a threat from the outside and not the inside! The line of thought had him jump up from the bench. He reentered the castle as he used Legilimency to carefully check the minds of each pony he saw looking in their eyes.

He had checked 79 ponies finding nothing when Twilight ran up to him. "Harry I'm sorry to trouble you but I think we may have a problem." She tells him.

"I agree. I thought about what's going on and it doesn't make sense to make a threat of a attack on the wedding unless you plan to make them look for a threat from the outside and not from the inside." He told her after he checked on her to see if she's the real one. She looked at him in shock before.

"I was going to say that Cadance isn't acting like she normally does but that may explain it. The question is it mind control or is that not the real Cadance." She tells him.

The information has Harry figure he'll need to use ‘Legilimency’ on Cadance or whoever it is that replaced her to see the answer. The problem will be that he is likely going to have to use magic to remove the mind control or whatever spell or potion to make the imposter look like Cadance. 'Damned if I do and damned if I don't.' Harry thought to himself. When Twilight spoke of confronting Cadance Harry got a idea. "Twilight I have a idea. You confront Cadance to see if it's mind control or not. If you don't return by the time of the Wedding then I will confront whoever is the one in her place and make them drop the act. I have a couple of tricks to force them to show themselves." Harry tells her. 'And learn the reason why they are doing it.' He thought mentally for there is always a reason to do something like this. Twilight nodded and left while Harry went back to what he was doing.

'Still.' Harry thought to himself. 'It may be best to set up a few surprises in the event of outside reinforcements.' He continue the line of thought with a few ideas as he headed to the gate.

As he made his way to the gate still checking out ponies when he's able to he noticed a pink Alicorn walking towards him, unfortunately he wasn't able to look into her eyes. 'Ah hell.' He thought to himself as he started to move quicker without drawing attention to himself as he exit the castle through the gate and ducked into a alleyway putting on the cloak and heading to the walls. 'Thank god I made temporary use once for 24 hours rune barrier stones and they can be activated remotely and even then it can take hell of a beating for hours if for quarter of that time.' He thought to himself.

Chrysalis Pov:

'That's odd. How did he disappear like that from my senses, and why did I sense magic from him and a large amount of it as well and it's not from any kind of magic item... Humans aren't supposed to have magic in the first place as well or so it's said to be, so this one is something to look into.' Chrysalis thought to herself as she reenter the castle. She connected herself to the hive mind and spoke to the Changelings in the city to be on the lookout for the unusual human and to bring him to her before heading to the kitchen.

Harry Pov:

It took Harry a few hours to the late afternoon to set up the ward stones along the wall and the caste hidden so they wouldn't be messed with. He had them set to draw magic from the seven lay lines under the city with each stone on the ley lines surrounding the city. He had noticed several ponies looking around carefully and used ‘ ‘Legilimency’ on them only to learn they are another race transformed as ponies called Changelings. He also managed to learn about the Hive mind, the army they have hidden outside of the city, the reason why they are doing this, and lastly of their queen Chrysalis who is currently in Cadance’s place and the location of the real Cadance. ‘Well isn’t this a going to be hell of a mess.’ Harry thought to himself. ‘At least I know where to go if Twilight goes missing.’ He continued as he removed the cloak and headed back to the castle.

Time skip: Wedding rehearsal.

Harry stood not far from the door in which he noticed Twilight wasn’t in the room. ‘Just great I’m going to have to get her out of those caves, which means the use of magic. ‘ Harry thought to himself as he made sure that his magic couldn't be felt and his Occlumency was ready to fool the changelings.

He made his way out of the room when the rehearsal ended to his room to prepare for the upcoming battle. He was nearing the room when he saw a pair of changelings he had found in their false forms ahead of him. They stopped in front of him and one spoke. “Princess Cadance would like to speak to you.” He tells Harry. "Very well." He replied knowing it would be the best not to do anything for now, he knew if he tried anything without help or real ponies that are in the room things won't end well for him. He followed them to the room were the Changeling queen waited.

"Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you." Chrysalis tells him, "I hadn't met many humans aside from the ones sent as ambassadors. I would like to ask you a few questions of your home world if you don't mind?" She asks him.

"I don't but I will warn you, I know mostly of my home country Great Britain. The rest of the world I know little of aside from the basics." He tells her glad to have read up on it during his time on the run back at earth.

The two talked for an hour before Chrysalis had to leave. As the two parted. 'Looks as it was a false alarm. Still he is an interesting one.' Chrysalis thought to herself. 'I may have to have him for myself once this is over.' She continued as she walked away.

'Damn glad she didn't pick up anything that give me away but I best be careful in case something happens.' Harry thought to himself. 'Still if Twilight isn't able to get herself and the real Cadance back I'm going to have to act even if I don't want to.' He thought to himself as he headed to his room. As he was walking he nearly ran into Princess Luna. "Princess Luna, it's good to meet you again." He tells her as he does a quick check glad to see it's the real one.

"It's good to meet thou again as well Harry. What brings thou here?" She replies to him. "Is there a problem?" She asks him.

"No problems, I was invited here by Twilight to come along for the wedding along with the rest of her friends." He tells her.

"Oh? That's good to see that she's brought her friends along even if my sister asks for them to some as well. We do would wonder why she didn't invite other humans if it wasn't for that threat at was sent to us. Do be careful we wouldn't like to see you get hurt if it turns out to be real." She tells him.

"Oh, trust me. I can defend myself but I'll be careful if anything does happen." He tells her with a nod and smile causing her to smile softly at him. The two parted ways as Harry made plans.

Night of the real wedding. 3rd Person Pov

'Damn it all, no choice.' Harry thought to himself as he readied to use Finite Incantatem. He had readied his combat gear and tried to think of ways to help Twilight without giving himself away but couldn't and the tracking spell on her worn off. Now he has to stop this before it goes to hell. He's just glad to have a seat in the second row and the spell is a unseen type and one of the several he can use wandlessly. The doors however then bust open as Twilight and Cadance showed themselves. He smiled but it dropped quickly when he saw Shining Armor didn't look and then Harry saw the color of his eyes seemed to be overlayed with another. "Shit." He said as all hell broke lose.

Changelings showed themselves and came out of the woodwork fighting or capturing ponies as a shit ton more showed up outside the shield and started blasting at it. Harry knew it wouldn't last long with Shining Armor as he is and used the remote rune stone for his shield stones holding it up after getting to the windows after knocking in a couple of heads as a pair of changelings went for him. It appeared inches behind the one held up before Shining Armor's seconds before it fell. the sight of the silver shield causing the fighting to stop as all looked at it in shock at the sight of it for different reasons.

"WHAT! How is this possible! Who's doing this!" Chrysalis yelled as this new silver shield appear before the main force of her army could attack the city when she saw the lone human who was still in the room holding something. "GAVE ME THAT!" She said catching him off guard as her magic grabbed it. 'A magic item? No a rune stone! How?!?' She thought before looking at him again seeing him hold a stick for some reason.

"Shit!" Harry cursed as the stone was taken from him. The game was up for him as he pulled out his wand, glad that due to the threat that there were no no-majs in the city. Before she could speak he acted. "Reducio!" He casted at her shocking everyone. She blocked it with a shield which shattered from it but stopped the spell. He fell back to his fight mode launching spells at every changeling in sight as the fight started again. He blocked a spell from Chrysalis and returned with a "Petrificus Totalus". The two fought throwing spells act each other even when fighting another when suddenly four Changelings piled on Harry stunning him for a minute as more of them did the same, before his body suddenly changed from human to that of a Horntail Dragon throwing them off him shocking many again before slamming his tail into a group attacking Princess Luna who had joined the fight attacking along side Celestia.

During the fight Cadance had made her way to Shining Armor and was trying to get him to come back to normal but was failing. Harry noticed the two and made his way over in dragon form smashing and clawing and biting any changeling that got in his way before shifting back to human form. "Finite Incantatem" Which removed the spell on the Stallion making Harry glad he was able to removing it without having to going into his head.

"How!" Chrysalis demanded. "Human's shouldn't be able to use magic!" She said in anger as she fought both Princesses but was slowly getting overwhelmed as the love she had taken from Shining Armor was being used up far too quickly for her liking. Suddenly the ground covered all but her head leaving her stuck in place. She was quickly knocked out by a spell from Princess Celestia. the fight winded down from there as changelings were knocked out or as they fled.

Harry looked around as he puts his wand away knowing that he's going to have to answer a lot of questions from his friends. The Princesses Celestia and Luna came up to him, Luna looking as she was about to speak. "After the wedding your Highnesses. Besides I would like to have to only explain this once." He tells them as the Elements came into the room. The two looked at each other before agreeing. "Very well but you best explain how and why we weren't told." Celestia tells him sternly. Harry watched as the two left and his friends came up to him.
