Harry whirled around, grabbing the Elder Wand and aimed it at whoever spoke to him, but stopped. He stared… In front of him was a woman, a beautiful woman who looked twenty years old and wearing scantily clad robes, slightly see through and leaving no room for the imagination that she was wearing nothing underneath. Her black hair looked like it was floating around her head, as if being in an unforeseen breeze on a rather windy day. The woman smiled, her pink lips quirking upwards a little bit as her black as coal eyes took him in. “ I expected an arrogant man that would’ve become my Master, but you Young Man, are SO much better.” She said, swaying her hips as she made her way over to The Boy Who Lived. Harry started taking a couple steps back, but realised his back was hitting stone, meaning he hit a wall. The woman giggled, making the air seem colder than before, giving his skin and bones a shudder at the sound. Harry gathered his courage and decided to get some answers, “ Who the hell are you?” He demanded, the Elder Wand pointed at the beautiful woman’s heart. “ Don’t you know who I am, Young Master?” She smirked, hands folded in front of her as she stopped a few feet away from Harry. “ I don’t kno--” A thought hit him, a terrible terrible thought that was worse than imagining Hermione in lingerie when he was younger that one time. Is this? He thought to himself before answering rather unsurely, “ Are you Death?” He asked, his emerald eyes glowing curiously at the woman before him in a new light, as if she was an old friend. The woman smiled, a prideful gleam in her soulless depths of eyes as she clapped her hands rather excitedly, bouncing up and down in glee. You can imagine what reaction that action might have caused on Harry Jr… “ Correct!” She said, smiling widely. “ Have you come to take me to my Next Great Adventure, Lady Death?” Harry said this with respect. It’s not everyday you meet somebody like Death… Death Herself calmed down rather quickly at that, a sad smile on her lips as she shook her head. “ Would you like me to, Master?” She said. Harry blinked and thought about it for a second. Even though I’m dead back where I was, I don’t think I want to move on before I find out the extent of my lifespan. He thought, using logic on testing everything in his magical arsenal and finding out if he truly was Immortal. “ No, Lady Death, not yet anyway.” He answered, a smile on his lips. Death suddenly moved, making the small space between them disappear as she pressed him against her and grabbed his head. She planted her lips onto his, pressing her ample chest against his, making the reaction from Harry Jr. Worse. Harry was confused about this course of action that she took. Why was she kissing him as if she was his-- ...Oh… ...Bollocks… Might as well enjoy this bit in the story. He thought as both their actions turned steamy and rather kinky for the next hour or so… After a… rather exciting hour, Harry and Death laid next to each other on the now warm stony floor, panting and holding each other close. After a few minutes of silence, Harry turned his head to look at her and ask, “ You never did answer my question, Love.” Death thought to herself for a moment, before answering. “ You are in the Realm Of The Dead, Master. It’s where all souls go to be judged whether or not one goes to Heaven, or goes straight to Hell.” Harry nodded, satisfied that his question was answered. Then a new one came to mind… “ What do we do now, Death? Do I stay here forever, holding you lovingly in my arms as we make music together?” He said with a smile, while huddling closer to Death, who blushed. “ Master, you have the dirtiest mind I have seen in my existence ever since Antioch.” She said to him, smirking lustfully. He smirked back, quite accomplished at making the most feared entity in all of existence blush. “ I believe there is a world that require someone of your expertise. Your… Saving-People-Thing that one girl calls you have?” Death said, sitting up and holding a bright globe of magic in her hands, looking into it. Harry, curious as ever, looked with her. The world was magical, so full of magic that it wasn’t even funny. But the inhabitants are not humans, not just Wizards and Witches, but talking pastel colored ponies… Harry looked inside the orb in awe, hypnotised at the way this world works from what he saw. The Sun and Moon being controlled by two powerful and admittedly sexy looking goddesses with horns and wings. The weather being controlled by winged pegasi that reminded him slightly of the Beauxbatons’ horses and Thestrals back in his world. The food being produced by normal looking Ponies that have tremendous strength that make Hagrid look like a child. Oh yeah, he was interested… Harry nodded, making Death smirk at him, “ You’re just wanting to see the sexy Alicorns, don’tcha?” She teased. Harry did the only thing a mature adult could do… … Stick out his tongue at her… That made Death lean her head towards him and capture it in her teeth. “Hmm, tasty.” She purred in his mind telepathically. Then another hour of mind boggling activity involving tongue ensued… Oh my dear god, that is not where you’re supposed to put that tongue, young man! Author's Note Dear Lord, that was tramautic to think of. I feel a little bit hard just making this Chapter! Why do these adult hormones make me SUFFER!!! Anyways, I tried my best to make it...yikes... but not too far otherwise I would have to get creative on that. This chapter is just the first of many many more with Harry and the Mane Six going about their daily lives and going on adventures... Next Up: The Unicorn With The Lightning Scar… Chapter 03: Teddy's Nightly AdventureChapter 03: Teddy’s Nightly Adventure *Elsewhere* A voice echoed, a small flash of light emanating from the middle of a large garden. Then the light dimmed to nothing and a colt of about 10 years old fell to the ground from a few feet in the air. “Yahoohoohoo!!!” yelled the colt, laying on his back with a grin on his face. The colt was Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter’s Godson. He was wearing a black t-shirt and red shorts the size for someone of his size, also wearing a pair of white socks and red tennis shoes. Teddy sat up, looking at his surroundings, before the grin faded from his lips. His Godfather wasn’t here. And wherever Harry was… Trouble follows like a magnet… He looked down at himself, childish awe on his face as he saw that his skin was replaced with a brownish red fur, and he had a pair of ears, a blackish tail, and a muzzle. He was curious as to what he was, before a voice called out. “ Hello? Who goes there?” Teddy froze, a small tingle of something running down his spine at the voice. It wasn’t fear, but something else. He went with his gut instinct that he should hide, and there was a conveniently shaped lamp a few feet to his right. After hiding behind the lamp and forced himself not to move, he looked through a tiny hole that was in the lampshade. The sound of metal clanking against the stone path that was adjacent to where he was started to come from the other side of the hedges across the way. Teddy held his breath, tensing his body in case he had to run from whatever was coming... Then he saw HER… It was a woman with a blue coat, a beautiful 20-something-year-old woman wearing some type of office attire with a crescent moon on her left breast pocket. It was of two colors, black and silver respectively for the tucked in blouse and pencil skirt that went below her knees and was loose enough to walk, maybe even run in. She was also wearing silver boots that looked to be from medieval times. She also had a horn on her head with wings on her back, which caught Teddy’s attention... What in the name of Merlin? He thought as he bit his tongue to keep himself quiet, and his breathing slow and shallow so the woman can’t hear him. Her eyes that spoke of age like his Godfather roamed around the area Teddy woke up in. Then it landed on the lamp and a perfectly sculpted eyebrow rose. After a few seconds of staring, the woman walked to where the lamp was located and spoke, a small hint of gently tenderness lacing the demand. “ If you think that trick would work like it did in Undertale, you are sorely mistaken. Please, come on out. I won’t hurt you.” After a moment of silence, Teddy peeked his head out from behind the lampshade, a hint of sheepishness in his expression. The woman smiled, her pink lips turned upwards, causing Teddy to relax for some reason. Pretty… He thought to himself as he stared at the goddess before him. “Hello… I’m Luna.” She said gently as she got to her knees, “ What’s your name, little colt? Why are thou out here?” Despite the slip of old medieval, Teddy answered. “ Teddy… Teddy Lupin… A-are you an angel?” Stupid stupid STUPID. He scolded himself internally, embarrassed at the question that came out of his mouth, preparing to run in case the woman took it the wrong way. Luna looked slightly shocked, cerulean eyes wide, and the garden was deathly quiet... Then the silence was broken by her giggling. “ You could say that I am, Teddy.” She said, shoulders shaking and cheeks slightly pink. The colt let out a quiet sigh of relief, glad that he dodged the metaphorical AK, a saying that his Godfather uses. He was interrupted from his musings by his stomach growling for all the world to hear that it was hungry, making his cheeks red in embarrassment. Luna smirked, her eyes twinkling in amusement and fondness that Harry showed for him, “ Looks like somepony is hungry.” She teased, “ Why don’t we go to the kitchens and grab a midnight snack?” Teddy answer was in the form of a nod, coming out all the way from behind the lamp and holding his sides in nervousness at the angel not two feet from him. Luna stood up to her 6 foot height and held out a hand for him to grab. Even though his inner Lupin telling him not to trust strangers, and his other voice that sounded a lot like Harry wanting him to question everything around him with Constant Vigilance, like Alastor Moody taught him before his death, he went with his other gut instinct that told him that this angel didn’t want to cause harm to him. So he held Luna’s hand as they went through the gardens, Teddy looked at the giant marble white castle in awe, it was reminiscent of Hogwarts before the battle demolished it. It was still undergoing renovations… Luna and Teddy walked down the staircase with the colt on her shoulders, a warm smile on her face as she heard the little guy giggling from his spot. Ever since her exile to the moon for a thousand years, Luna barely smiled at anything except for her sister, Celestia. It was heartbreaking… As she walked, Luna’s thoughts turned to the colt on her shoulders. Where are his parents? Surely they wouldn’t leave such a sweet child in the Canterlot Gardens alone. Unless they are like THOSE types of parents. Her thoughts turned dark at the image of this child being abused by his family, waking up her darker self residing in her head. What’s going on, Luna? Why am I waking up? Said a woman’s voice that spoke of power, and slight hint of fatigue in it. Despite how everyone thinks, Nightmare Moon was always a part of Luna, never truly going away… Nothing, Nightmare. Just having bad thoughts… Luna replied to her other, not straying her attention to where she was going and keeping a gentle hold on Teddy’s legs, so as to not make him fall off. She felt a slight hint of amusement from Nightmare, indicating that she didn’t believe what Luna said. My dear Lulu, you know that I can hear everything that you’re thinking, and view what you thought. Now, let’s see---- She trailed off as she viewed what Luna imagined happened to Teddy Lupin, then she snarled in anger, I hope to Equestria’s stars that is not what happened! How can anypony leave such an innocent child in the middle of the night? OUR night?! Luna briefly stopped, blinking in surprise at the feral anger in her dark side’s voice, not hearing Teddy’s words of concern. This never happened before, whenever Nightmare wakes up, she immediately fights for control over their body. It always happens ever since returning from the moon… It was very surprising that Nightmare cares about someone, even a child. I can still HEAR you! Nightmare said, a deadpan in her voice, but the rage from what she imagined was still bubbling under the surface. If it wasn’t so surprising, and if Teddy was trying to grab her attention by booping her on the nose, Luna would’ve laughed herself silly at how comedic this was… She snapped out of her inner conversation and turned her attention on Teddy, who was inches from her face, upside down, with a look of worry on his face. Luna blinked in surprise, then she said, “ Yes, young Teddy?” The colt frowned in concern, causing Luna to feel a slight warmth in her chest at being cared for. Nopony else cared for her like Celestia and the six ponies that released her from Nightmare’s clutches like they did, so it was rare... The colt spoke, his eyes searching for whatever caused his new friend to stop. “ Are you ok, Luna? You look… worried…” Princess Luna smiled, keeping her voice gentle, “ I am fine, Little Lupin. I assure you that I got lost in my thoughts for a moment.” She said. Teddy’s eyes narrowed, and spoke with sternness that if anypony else would do so to her, they would’ve been sent to the dungeons for disrespect. But he was a child that didn’t know of her heritage, not yet anyway… “ My godfather uses the same line, it usually means that not everything is alright, and to hear you say that, even though we just met, makes me WORRY.” He stressed at the final word, a plea in his eyes to tell him what she was thinking. Luna sighed, a pang in her heart and Nightmare sniggering in the back of her mind at the young colt’s words. Yet, that warmth grew. She took a breath, gathered the courage and spoke, “ This might be a bad time to ask thee, young Lupin. But… where are your parents? Do they live in Canterlot, or did they leave you here?” Teddy’s normally bright eyes dimmed, causing Luna to flinch slightly and Nightmare to scold her. “ I am sorry if---” She was interrupted by him smiling sadly, eyes gleaming with tears. “ It’s ok, Luna…” Teddy climbed down off her shoulders and onto the ground in front of the Lunar Diarch, scuffing his shoe against the ground in nervousness. “ They died… A decade ago there was a battle going on, and my mum and dad went to fight for the good. They died doing what was right, and my godfather raised me ever since then.” He said, looking down at his feet, not knowing that there was a third presence looming over him. “ Where is this Godfather of yours, young one?” Said a voice to his left, one that was different that radiated that they demand respect. Teddy lifted his head at the voice, speaking, “ I’m not sure if he even came here with me, he might be---” He stopped as his brain tried to process what was in front of him. It was another woman besides Luna, this time with a darker coat, and wearing silver armor that looked to be slightly scuffed and dented, as if it has seen many a battle. The mark that was on Luna’s vest was the same on the breastplate, just slightly darker. Her turquoise dragon slitted eyes stared at his own normal blue, as if they were looking into his soul… He had to admit, she too, was beautiful… After staring at the amused woman for a few moments, he continued on, “ I don’t know if he’s here. Dad seems to attract trouble wherever he goes, even more so than his time at school.” Luna and the new arrival turned to look at each other for a minute, seemingly communicating with telepathy. Then the two turned back, Luna smiling, while the other woman seemed to frown, as if they were polar opposites of each other. “ What is your godfather’s name, Teddy?” Luna asked, kneeling down to be eye level with him, “ We might be able to find him.” Teddy blinked, raised an eyebrow, then replied hesitantly, not wanting to get his Godfather into trouble. “ Harry… Harry Potter…” At Luna’s raised eyebrow, he continued, explaining that his Godfather was famous from where they were, and hated the attention for something he doesn’t remember. When he didn’t elaborate for what Harry was famous for, Luna and Nightmare Moon raised an eyebrow, slightly suspicious about that. Since Harry Potter must’ve done something extraordinary for an entire country to basically worship him like a God. It was strangely reminiscent of the Princesses… Luna nodded her head, putting a finger to her ching, eyes looking towards the ceiling with a look of concentration. After a minute, she spoke, “ I found him.” Teddy reeled in surprise as his inner musings of what his Godfather seemed to be doing to find him, and waited for the answer. He got it… “ He’s in Ponyville, using a stick to fight off a couple of ponies.” She said it with narrowed eyes, a protectiveness in her that never seemed to show before, “ Why is he doing that, young Lupin?” Teddy blinked once again at what he was told, then facepalmed. “ Damn it Dad.” He murmured. It was quiet, but not quiet enough for the second woman. She spoke, her voice giving him goosebumps. “ What is wrong? Hast he done this before?” Luna got up and looked to Teddy as well, arms crossed against her chest and eyebrow raised. From past experience with Molly Weasley who uses the same pose, began speaking, “ He was always protective of me, ever since the battle of Hogwarts, where my parents died. My biological father, Remus Lupin, named Harry as my Godfather/Foster Father, in case something happened to them. Harry is a good parent, and despite being slightly reckless, he will kill anyone that might harm his family, including me.” The darker coated woman kneeled, putting a sharp nailed finger under his chin so that he may meet her eyes, looking to see if he was lying. After finding that he was speaking nothing but the truth, she smiled softly, which made Luna’s eyes widened slightly. Nightmare never truly smiled except if she wants something... “ We forgot to introduce myself. I am Nightmare Moon, little one. We shall see that your Godfather is safely reunited to you, and shall be accommodated to the castle. I have seen many a brave soldier, but this Harry Potter, he is more than worthy of courting.” She winked at Teddy for the last part, making the ten year old blush, and Luna facepalm with pink on her cheeks. “ Nightmare…” She warned, not wanting to scar the child. Her darker side smirked, showing a couple of fangs, dragon slitted eyes twinkling with amusement and mischief. “ What, little Lulu? Don’t tell me thou are jealous? He might be willing to share…” Teddy watched as Nightmare Moon and Luna bicker at each other, noticing that there was also another in the room staring at the group with light purple eyes gleaming with motherly gentleness. She was wearing the same attire as Luna, except that it was alabaster white with a yellow sun on her left breast pocket. Her hair looked like a multitude of colors; pink, green, white and light-blue. She also looked to be a relative of Luna, except that she was taller than Luna by a head… Teddy smiled as her eyes caught his, and her posture seemed to relax from some unknown tenseness that was there, but unnoticed. He walked over to the woman, the other two didn’t notice that he was not in front of them anymore, and leaned against the wall beside her. The woman and young colt seemed to enjoy the entertainment of two women bickering, which seemed to get increasingly humorous as the argument turned into how to share somepony in bed, which made Teddy blush at some of the more lustrous suggestions from Nightmare. That is when the new woman turned to him, smiling. “ I’m Princess Celestia. It is nice to meet you. I see that you met my sister, and her… companion…” She seemed to hesitate at the last part when mentioning Nightmare Moon, but continued all the same. That smile made Teddy’s heart stop at how bright it seemed, filling his body with warmth and his cheeks grew red for some reason. “ I’m Teddy Lupin, Ma’am--- Wait, you said Luna is a Princess as well?” He said, slightly reeling from the shock that Luna is a Princess. Celestia giggled behind her hand making Luna--- Princess Luna, and Nightmare Moon turn to whoever giggled. “ Greetings, sister! We did not see you there!” Luna said with a smile on her face. Nightmare on the other hand, was frozen with eyes wide and body tense, looking as if she might… She disappeared in a cloud of purple sparkly mist and flew down to the end of the corridor opposite of Celestia. The three watched as the mist turned a corner and disappear. Celestia blinked, lips pursed, them murmured. “ I haven’t even said anything.” It was too much, Teddy began snickering, causing the two Princesses to look at him. Then Luna began giggling… Then Celestia snerked… Then she began laughing, holding her sides as the silence broke into a cacophony of laughter at what just happened. Only Nightmare wasn’t the one laughing, glaring at the two traitorous fiends that dared to laugh at her fear of the Solar Diarch. *Meanwhile* “ Leave me alone! I just want to find my Godson!” Harry Potter shouted, firing spell after spell at the group of girls that were chasing after him, narrowly missing to tree branches and dirt. “ Oh Yeah?! Well you should’ve said so before you decided to try and take Twi hostage!” Said a sky blue young woman with wings, rainbow colored hair, and wearing an athletic outfit of a white tank top and jeans with tears on the knees. Then Harry got wrapped in a pinkish aura, freezing in the middle of taking another sprinting step. The group of girls caught up and surrounded him, one of them wearing an orange and work jeans with a stetson, tied his hands and feet with rope, making sure they were tight and secure. Harry knew he could’ve apparated away and force the ropes off him with good old fashioned Gandhi, but frankly he wasn’t thinking, except fearing what happened to his Godson… After the three calmed down, and Nightmare returning hesitantly to Luna’s side, the group made their way back to Luna’s and Teddy’s original destination: The Royal Kitchens. As they came up to a large wooden door made of oak, Teddy yawned, snuggling in the warmth of Luna, who was holding him in her arms, easily carrying him with a strength that would’ve made Hagrid blush and admire. The group went inside and Luna set Teddy down in a comfortable plush chair that made him want to fall asleep in, except the smell of pastries wafted under his nose, causing it to twitch and his mouth to water. Cake… He thought before he dug in with gusto, not caring if he was making a mess and acknowledging the fact that there was Royalty in the room with him. Celestia, Luna, and Nightmare Moon chuckled, snickered, and smirked respectively as they daintily ate their own slice of velvet cake, moon cake, and dark chocolate cake. It was a good night, maybe not for Harry Potter, who was knocked out with a sleeping spell and tied up in the library, but it was a good night for the Princesses and Teddy… Author's Note WELL, Can't say that I'm not having fun with this, But I Am! Hope you all enjoyed this as much as I did making it, I'm trying to get the ball to roll in the scheme of making Harry an Alicorn, but I ain't having any progress on that... But I hope this story is good, and if there are any grammar errors, lemme know and I'll fix them. Next: The Interrogation... Chapter 04: The InterrogationChapter 04: Harry’s Interrogation… Harry slowly came to after being knocked out by some kind of sleeping spell, like the Draught of Living Death. His blurry vision cleared soon enough and noticed he was in a small dark room made of stone with a singular light hanging down above him, the only light source forcing the shadows back. Harry felt his chest tighten at the sight of the bulb, reminded of his time in the cupboard under the stairs that served as his room for a decade, before he went to Hogwarts and got a room that served as his cousin Dudley’s toy room. He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath through his nose, holding it for a moment, before exhaling through his lips. Harry repeated this action a few times, his hammering heart that was thudding against his ribcage like a jackhammer slowly returned to normal, and the feeling of panic fading into weariness. After he had finished calming himself down, Harry looked around the room and saw a set of stairs that led upwards to somewhere… Where he didn’t know… Then his thoughts turned to his Godson, feeling regret and sadness hit him all at once, making a teardrop down his cheek at the feeling that he failed his promise to Remus and Tonks; that he would take care of Teddy as if he was his own son. His guilt ridden thoughts were interrupted by a door opening where the stairs were located and he sniffed, trying to not breakdown at the thought that Teddy might be dead. Down the stairs came a woman he was familiar with, Twilight Sparkle. She was wearing the same outfit from earlier, and she was holding a tray of food that consisted of spaghetti and meatballs. “ Glad to see that you’re awake, Mister Trotter.” Twilight said, with a tone that spoke of no emotions and professional. Harry didn’t reply, only looking down at his shoes, wanting to ruffle his hair, but can’t due to his hands tied behind his back, sitting in a metal chair with rope around him. He felt trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey… Twilight raised an eyebrow at the lack of response, but set the tray down on the table in front of Harry, then sat in the opposite chair across from him. After using her magic to remove the ropes tied around his wrists, Harry ruffled his hair because it was a thing he did whenever he was frustrated or nervous. He was feeling more of the latter… He picked up the fork and started to slowly eat the, admittedly, delicious spaghetti, ignoring the fact that Twilight was staring at him with an emotion he couldn’t describe. After halfway through his meal, Harry stopped, setting the fork down and sat back, crossing his arms and stared, engaging in a staring contest with Miss Sparkle. Then Twilight spoke, “ Why did you try and kidnap me, Mister Trotter?” She asked, quill held against a small sheet of parchment, seemingly ready to write the answers down. It vaguely reminded him of Rita Skeeter and her Dicta-Quill… Harry sighed, wanting to get this over with, he went for blunt honesty. “ Because I thought that Teddy was kidnapped or worse, DEAD.” He said the last part with a bit of bubbling fury in his voice, his protectiveness in him lashing out. Twilight slightly flinched at the flames returning in his emerald orbs, but kept her cool. “ Why didn’t you say so before you did what you did? I’m sure I could’ve helped you.” She replied, her tone not shaking, but slightly confused. Harry raised an eyebrow, replying with a derisive snort. “ How did I know I could trust you? Miss Sparkle there is one thing that’s always kept me going: Constant Vigilance. Even I don’t trust my friends at times. Because of the war that I was in, I am suspicious at anything and everything.” He took a breath, calming himself down again before he explodes. “ When his parents died in the final battle, I was given guardianship of Teddy Lupin and raise him like my own son. Besides, He’s the only connection to me that makes one thing between in common Miss Sparkle…” Twilight finished writing down what Harry said, then looked up with an eyebrow raised, “ What is the connection that you have in common, Mister Trotter?” She spoke, curiosity burning within her. Harry smiled sadly, causing a small urge in Twilight to get up and hug him, due to the large amount of bitter sadness and misery in those jaded green eyes of his. “ Our parents are dead when we were young, and alone. Only Teddy and I have a deep understanding of the other.” He replied, then laid his head back and shut his eyes, ignoring the world. After a few moments of silence, Twilight got up from her chair, teleported the half empty tray of food to the kitchen to wash later, then exited the room quietly. “ All I’m saying is that he’s being honest, RD. That doesn’t mean he had to go and try and kidnap Twilight, though.” Applejack said, arms crossed and a frown on her lips. The prismatic woman grimaced as she spoke, “ I know Applejack, but that can’t be it. I mean, he just shows up one day, and he kidnaps Twi as a hostage? All because of looking for his Godson?! I don’t believe it! He’s gotta have another ulterior motive.” Twilight interrupted the two women arguing, noticing that Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie, are standing off to the side of the room behind the glass mirror, watching the argument as if it was a play. “ I hate to be right, but Mister Trotter seems to be paranoid. In fact, he looked as if he was ready to shoot first ask questions later when you all tried to save me.” “ Maybe he is a soldier?” Fluttershy murmured, drawing attention to herself from her other friends. Rainbow Dash blinked, ears perked up interested in what her childhood friend had to say. “ Whatdoyoumean he might be a soldier, ‘Shy?” She rasped out, asking the question on The Mane Six’s minds. The butterscotch pegasus hid behind her hair, and meekly replied, “ His eyes. They look like they’ve been through war. I always see it in Time Turner whenever he comes to my cottage to get treats for his dog, K-9. But...” She turned back to the stallion whose head was tilted upwards in the air, before continuing, “ For Harry Trotter, It seems to look like his whole life was hell, and he is looking for the only thing he can feel that he is not alone, and vice versa with his Godson.” It shocked a couple of the girls that Fluttershy, sweet, caring Fluttershy cursed for the first time, including Rainbow Dash whose eyes widened to the size of tennis balls in surprise. After a few seconds of shocked silence, it was broken by a knock on the window behind Fluttershy, making her go “ EEP!!!” and hide behind a bemused Rarity, shaking like a leaf. The Mane Six turned to the window, seeing that Harry was up and somehow out of his chair. “ Whu? How?” Twilight seemed to stutter since the ropes she tied him up with was magic-proof. “ I’m so sorry to bother you all, but I need your help to find my Godson, Teddy Lupin? He’s about ten years old with fuzzy brown hair and blueish eyes, has a smile that can make anyone have a cardiac arrest?” Harry looked through the one way mirror, looking into the room, before his eyes landed on Twilight, smiling roguishly, making Rarity, Fluttershy, heck even Rainbow Dash slightly blush. “ Miss Sparkle, my most sincere apologies for trying to kidnap you. I was frustrated that I lost him, But I am calm now. So if you don’t mind?” He gestured towards the door, waiting patiently. The girls huddled together, seeming to make a plan while Harry watched with amusement. After a minute of silently discussing their game plan, Twilight opened the door with her magic, and Harry stepped through with his hands in pockets, a relaxed posture on his lithe but apparently strong frame. The stallion cracked his neck, sighing in relief at the tension fading away from waking up in that chair, before speaking. “ Hullo, I’m Harry. I think that we’re going to get along just FINE.” He said, his emerald eyes gleaming. Author's Note DONE!!! This story is going at a fine pace, and I want to take as much time as I can with this as I possibly can and make it the longest story with a thousand or two thousand word chapters. There will be romance, and there will NOT be clop, I don't think I have the brainpower to think it up. Thank You for patiently waiting, there will be more chapters coming soon! Next Up: The Boy Who Had A Nightmare… Chapter 05: The Boy Who Had A NightmareChapter 05: The Boy Who Had A Nightmare… In Canterlot Castle, Teddy Lupin was asleep, being carried by Princess Luna, who was now wearing a silky nightwear that was compared to shirt and pants, a difference in her normal attire. The Lunar Diarch smiled down at the sleeping young colt, ignoring the sly grin the her older sister seemed to shoot her. Then there was a flash and a click, making Luna’s head shoot up in surprise at the camera in Nightmare Moon’s hands, her grinning evilly that made her have shivers down her spine. “ Now that’s one for your scrapbook Celestia.” She said, handing the Solar Diarch the camera. Celestia rolled her eyes, but smiled anyways. After being in the same room for a few minutes without giant fireballs and eternal night happening due to the little colt in Luna’s arms, the two relaxed to each other’s presence into talking terms. That’s a good thing, otherwise I would’ve forced them into a room to make out with each other and the shipping would have ensued without Cadance’s help... Anyways, after Luna tucked in Teddy, she tiptoed to the door and shut it gently. The three Alicorns made their way to an lounge like area with a couple of couches and area coffee table, along with a large mahogany oak desk with an office chair behind it. This was obviously Celestia’s study. One that she barely uses besides paperwork or to relax from her duties, which were rare before Luna (and Nightmare) returned from the moon. Celestia opened a cabinet, taking out three large glasses and and bottle that looked to have been preserved for a long long time. Luna eyed the bottle in curiosity before she took it into her magic to get a closer look. Her eyes widened at the name and date… “ Tia, Is this… Bottled MoonRay? Where did you get this?” She wheezed out, feeling faint that her sister got her hands on a creation that Luna herself brewed. The alabaster Alicorn smirked as she set the glasses on the table with cubes of ice in them, before sitting down herself. “ It is the first bottle you successfully brewed since 0090 C&LR, a decade before your banishment. I kept it perfectly preserved for an occasion such as your return.” She took the bottle, uncorked it with a loud POP, and began pouring silvery white liquid that seemed to be ethereal in the dim lighting of the lamp in the corner of the study. After pouring the alcohol to Luna and Nightmare’s glasses, she poured one for herself, taking a small sip. Her magenta eyes then glowed with a starry constellation swirling in them for a moment, before they faded to normal. “ I’ve not had MoonRay in centuries.” Celestia moaned out as she felt like melting into a puddle of ecstasy on the couch. Nightmare took a tentative sip, then practically moaned lewdly as she followed the Solar Diarch in ecstasy. Luna only took a gulp and raised an eyebrow, a deadpan expression on her face as she looked on. Being the sole brewer of the MoonRay has its perks after all… “ So, what shalt be done about young Mister Potter in Ponyville? I mean, there’s a chance that he is looking for young Teddy to kidnap him, or worse…” Nightmare asked, looking at the half empty glass of MoonRay in her hand, “ I don’t want to take any chances that this stallion is not his Godfather.” Celestia, now that she’s snapped out of her bliss, turned serious and sat up, a posture that made Nightmare slightly flinch… It was the look of a mother that would kill to protect her child… “ If that stallion thinks he can harm a child, he’s got another thing coming.” Celestia practically growled. The air shimmered with heat that was practically radiating from Celestia herself, making Luna and Nightmare uncomfortable. Luna set her glass down on the table, and sat next to her older sister, putting her hands on her shoulders, saying, “ Then we make sure Harry Potter can’t touch him, if it comes to that. If we’re wrong though…” Luna shuddered as she felt the raw power in the stallion’s core when she looked for him with a scrying spell, “ It could be catastrophic for everypony involved.” Celestia calmed down, the fiery glow in her eyes returned to a gentle magenta. “ I want you find him when he’s asleep, Lulu. Then we’ll truly know. Take Nightmare with you as well in case he tries anything.” She sighed, rubbing the bridge of her muzzle with her index finger and thumb, “ We don’t know how truly powerful this stallion could be.” Luna nodded, then stiffened suddenly, her eyes wide in shock. “ Speak of Luci and he shall appear…” She murmured, catching Nightmare and Celestia’s attention. Luna turned towards them and spoke. “ Harry Potter just fell asleep, and is having a dream.” Elsewhere, the aforementioned stallion laying on the couch in the Golden Oaks Library, twisting and turning in his sleep with an expression of pain and discomfort… Luna and Nightmare entered the Dreamscape, a Astral corridor filled with doors the color of the rainbow, and sitting in front of them was a grey is black metal door with a symbol on it, underneath the name Harry James Potter. Luna blinked, feeling slightly shocked that the door was different then the rest, which were normally wood with the rare security door. Nightmare traced the somehow familiar symbol on the door, feeling slightly weird as she came into contact with the warm metal... “ Do you feel this, Luna?” The Mare In the Moon grabbed the Princess Of the Night’s hand and set it against the symbol. Luna felt her eyebrows reach her hairline when she felt ice cold. “ It’s cold, Nightmare, even more than a Wendigo’s breath.” She said. Nightmare frowned, shaking her head as she grabbed the knob of the door. “ That’s odd…” She turned the handle down, hearing a satisfying click, “ Because it felt warm to me.” She opened the door and walked in with determination in her body, Luna following close after, keeping a wary eye out for anything that might sneak through the doorway... Nightmare and Luna came to a sudden halt, horror in the form of wide eyes and dropped jaws at the scene before them… The scene depicted of a castle that looked to be as grand as Canterlot Castle, but now it lays in ruin, smoke and fire billowing in the early morning, with ash falling down the sky and onto the ground full of the dead… This wasn’t just some regular battle… It was a slaughter… “ What… What could cause all of this?” Nightmare spoke, feeling her breath being pushed out of her at the stench of the dead permeating the air. Luna didn’t answer, only turned to look at a lone stallion with unruly black hair and emerald green eyes, standing in the middle of the pile. He wasn’t moving, only staring down with a look of resignation, mixed with helplessness… Then the pieces clicked together, and Luna and Nightmare looked at each other, who came to the same realisation. This wasn’t a stallion looking to harm… This was a stallion that had the world on his shoulders, going through hell ever since his childhood, doing what’s right for the world… But at the cost of those close to him… “ Every day, I think of them.” The stallion spoke with a Trottingham accent that sent shivers down the two mares’ spines. It was alluring, charming, yet sad, painful… ...Broken… He turned to them, looking to his right, his eyes gleaming with unshed tears, causing the two Alicorns have the urge to go over and comfort the stallion. “ Everyday, I feel like what I do for the Greater Good, EVERYONE’S Greater Good, Those that are closest to me are in danger. I do my best to save everyone, but…” He stopped, turning to the bodies of a bushy haired woman, and a red haired stallion, hand in hand, peaceful looks on their ash covered faces, “ It’s not enough…” The stallion who the two know now is Harry Potter, walked over to a blood soaked bench that had seen better days, and sat down, not minding the feel of blood in the bottom of his pants. “ So…” The stallion asked, his painful eyes now glowing with curiosity, the scenery changed in seconds around them to the same area, albeit without the piles of dead bodies and ash filled skies. Now it was just empty… Luna and Nightmare found themselves sitting on opposite sides. Luna’s eyes were wide once again, being this close proximity to a stallion with as much power to control his dreams, but now… It felt like there was something else surrounding him, something more powerful than Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Discord and Nightmare Moon combined, not even close to a fraction of whatever was around Harry… “ Am I dead?” Harry continued with a raised eyebrow. Luna shook her head, smiling softly. “ No, young Harry Potter, thou are not dead.” Nightmare continued after Luna’s sentence, somehow knowing what was going to be said. “ You are only asleep, and we came to talk with you about your Godson.” Harry tensed, holding himself back from trying to grab the Elder Wand in his holster, until remembering that he was dreaming. “ What about Teddy? Did you do something to him?” He was feeling a slight bit of panic and it must’ve shown on his face, because Nightmare Moon rested her sharply nailed hand on his left shoulder gently, grabbing his attention. When green emerald jade met dragon slitted turquoise, there was a small moment of silence, before Nightmare spoke with a soothing tone, “ Young Teddy is in Canterlot Castle with us, safe and unharmed.” The assurance worked, and Harry slowly relaxed his muscles that ached like they have been at the Final Battle Of Hogwarts, the day Voldemort had well and truly died. He sighed, putting his face in his hands, “ Thank god, he’s okay.” He straightened up and suddenly wrapped an arm around the back of Luna’s shoulders, causing the Alicorn to stiffen and turn a tomato red. “ Thank you for taking care of him while I was being a reckless idiot. There must be something I can do to repay you two?” Harry said, whispering in Luna’s ear, not knowing that Luna’s heart was rapidly beating. Nightmare, who was snickering at Luna’s stiff form from the hug, slyly smirked at those words. “ Well…” She started to say, but was interrupted by Luna breaking out of Harry’s one armed hug and slam her hand into the mare’s mouth. “ NO!” The Night Princess basically shouted. Nightmare pried her other’s hand off her mouth, continuing with slight amusement in her draconic eyes, “ You didn’t let me finish, Lulu. I was going to say that Harry could come to Canterlot tomorrow, to reunite with his Godson.” Luna who was still red, turned pink with slight embarrassment. Harry wasn’t an idiot, and was internally imagining him making out with the two Alicorns and Death. Then he shook his head gently, feeling slightly ridiculous at those lewd thoughts, Must’ve got those from Myrtle. He mused to himself. Then the air seemed to crack with white, as if it was some window on the verge of collapse. “ Looks like you’re waking up, young Harry. I guess we’ll see your worth in our bed.” Nightmare grinned lustfully as his vision faded to white. You sneaky sonouva--- Harry opened his eyes and sat up on Twilight’s couch, yawning and stretching his muscles that were aching only slightly. At least they didn’t hurt as much as the dream’s… He head footsteps come down and saw a anthropomorphic purple dragon in a white crood neck shirt, jeans being held up by a belt, and also wearing socks, with red and white tennis shoes. “ Morning.” Spike said, walking into the kitchen to make breakfast for himself, his older sister, and their guest. “ G’morning Spike.” Harry groggily said, not having felt this tired ever since his Hogwarts days. It was actually refreshing to sleep for once… But that dream… Harry shook off the images of the two beautiful Alicorns that were in his dream and came to the thought of what the dark one said to him. “ He’s in Canterlot Castle…” He murmured to himself. Twilight just came down the stairs and just barely heard him. “ Mister Trotter? Who’s in Canterlot?” She inquired, but had an idea as to who her guest was referring to… “ Teddy… My Godson… He’s in Canterlot Castle with the Princesses that you told me about before I slept. They are taking care of him.” He said, his body relaxing with relief still at the thought of his Godson being alright. Twilight sat down next to Harry and smiled. “ Well, that means Princess Celestia and Luna are taking care of him, then. He’s in good hands.” He raised an eyebrow, replying, “ Than what about the other one? Nightmare Moon?” Teddy woke up in a VERY comfortable bed. The soft mattress and silk comforter blanket made him not want to get up… At least he dreamt of meeting legendary Princesses… “ Good morning, Young Teddy.” A familiar voice rang out, making him jump a little and turn his head to whoever said it. It was Princess Luna, wearing her attire that she wore last night, albeit unwrinkled, and a bit shiny with armor on her forearms, and a obsidian black crown around her horn giving the appearance of the royalty her heritage possessed. Teddy was once again enamored by her beauty, which made Luna’s cheeks turn a little pink and smile at his dazed look. I have a feeling that Harry is gonna be the same in person. She thought to herself as she and Teddy got ready for the day, her with daytime duties and Teddy waiting for his Godfather to show up. But for some reason, Luna thought she heard someone scream in the distance with horror, “WHAT!?!?” Author's Note Chapter 5 is now DONE!!! Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I made it, I am sorry if it was fast paced, but I don't think I could've added anymore than that, but lemme know what you think! Next: Reunions, Royalty, and Protectors... Chapter 06: Reunions, Royalty, and ProtectorsChapter 06: Reunions, Royalty, and Protection… The Friendship Express, a train with so many convoluting colors that it would make anyone’s eyes hurt just by LOOKING at it, was rolling along the tracks that was heading towards Canterlot City. Harry was putting away the book on the history of Equestria, the new world he and his Godson was in. He did all he could not to fidget ever since getting on the train. Despite Death’s assurances and the knowledge of Teddy being safe in the hands of the co-rulers of Princess Celestia and Luna, the ponies that control the Sun and Moon, he was worried. He was also having a hard time imagining Teddy not freaking out at being alone with strangers, let alone of the female kind… Though, if he has inherited his mother’s knack for flirting with strangers… Harry thought to himself as he gazed out the window at the scenery flying by the train, which was mostly trees and shrubbery. Things would get interesting… He finished the thought as he closed his eyes for the rest of the journey to the capital city of Equestria. *An Hour Later* “ Harry, wake up we’re here!” Said a voice in his ear. Harry jumped, muscles tensed for a moment to fend off whoever was trying to attack him, before relaxing at the sight of Spike, Twilights little brother sitting next to him, looking at him with concern at his tensed form. “ Are you ok?” He asked the stallion, a bit concerned at the way he looked, almost as if he was ready to fight in a moment’s notice. Harry shook his head, smiling a bit at the dragon, “ I’m alright Spike. You just startled me is all.” That seemed to work as Spike relaxed and moved away from him, giving the stallion room to get up and walk out into the aisle. Harry had to blink for a second before looking around in awe… The city was more grand up close, the castle of the Royal Pony Sisters even moreso… Harry got off the train and stepped to the side of the doorway to let everyone file out. Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash came with just in case he doesn’t do anything stupid, and to meet Teddy that he kept talking about last night… “ Ok everypony! We got everything for a two day stay?” Twilight said, going over a checklist being held in her hands. Yeah, she was practically a manager for things like this… After everyone nodded and gave affirmatives, the group of 8 began their trek to the castle, making sure they stay in single file as to not bump into the Noble snobs that permeate Canterlot. After making their way through countless streets, meeting with a couple that were nicer than everyone else named Fleur De Lis and Fancy Pants. After exchanging greetings with Harry to Fancy as well as Fleur and made small talk, the group continued. Although the name Fleur tickled in the back of Harry’s mind, bringing the memory of the French Veela who was a Triwizard Champion for Beauxbatons in his fourth year, he filed it away as coincidence. The group came up to a large brass gate with two guardstallions, wearing shiny golden armor and spears in parade rest. “ Twilight Sparkle and company to see Princess Celestia and Luna.” Twilight said, pulling out a scroll that her mentor sent through Spike’s dragon fire mail earlier that morning. After taking it from her, one of the Guards looked it over for any forgery and the like, he nodded, satisfied that it was genuine when he saw the signature of magic that only Princess Celestia can possess in her name on the bottom written in elegant cursive. The two Guards kept an eye on the strange stallion that was accompanying the Elements Of Harmony as they went into the castle grounds… The group of mares and stallion walked through the maze of corridors, Harry taking a gander at the multitude of windows depicting events that happened in all the history of Equestria. The most recent is an image with the girls surrounding a shadowy stallion with a red horn and evil looking eyes, an image of a crystal city in the background shining with an unearthly light. After a few minutes of walking, they came up to a pair of large golden doors, with a pair of the same white stallions wearing golden armor, making Harry blink at them in slight confusion, but didn’t question it, since it was ‘magic’. “ The Princesses will see you now. They are in a meeting with the foreign royal delegates.” Said the Guard on the left. “ You all came at a perfect time.” Said the Guard on the right, smirking lightly with his blue eyes with a knowing look, indicating that he must’ve saw this coming. But that doesn’t make sense, he doesn’t know what might happen… Does he?... Twilight nodded, not even looking the slightest fazed that she might be interrupting her mentor’s meeting. The Guards opened the giant doors, and the group made their way inside the cavernous room… Celestia and Luna were sitting on plush chairs at one end of a large oval table, observing the squabbling of the Changeling Queens seated on the opposite end, internally amused at them trying to figure out how to integrate their species as a whole into Equestrian society. If only she had a camera… Then the doors to the meeting Chambers opened and in came a group that she was familiar with, and a stallion that Celestia and Luan recognised from Teddy Lupin’s descriptions. The Changeling Queens stopped their argument, and Amethyst, a Queen of Innocence, stated with a happy smile, “ YAY! Friends!” The chibi-like Changeling shot out of her chair, and zoomed through the group of mares, and latched on to the stallion named Harry Potter. The stallion’s body tensed at the sudden attack, but when he looked down, he relaxed himself again, Which Celestia and Luna noticed, making them curious as to what made him tense up in the first place. “ It’s SO wonderful to meet new ponied!” The queen said in an accent that made Harry blink. It was British. Harry snorted, replying, “ Well, I was expecting to meet new ponies as well, but this was unexpected.” The queen didn’t reply, only looking up at him with those expressive yellow eyes and fang filled smile that somehow didn’t want him to go all Alastor Moody on… A cough interrupted the silence and Harry looked up, catching his emerald eyes on Luna’s, recognition twinkling as he nodded his head in respect. “ Well, that happened…” said Nova, the Changeling Queen of Lust said, a flirty smile on her lips, pink eyes glowing with mirth. She especially seemed to have an eye for one of the girls, Fluttershy, her name was… After the childlike Changeling let go of Harry and zipped back to her small high seat with a happy grin, a small door to the left of Celestia opened and in peeked a child with brownish red fur, and wearing a black t-shirt and red shorts the size for someone of his size, also wearing a pair of white socks and red tennis shoes. “ Hey Luna, may I… Come… In...” He trailed off looking behind the two Princesses, causing Luna and Celestia to follow wherever he was looking at. Their eyes landed on the stallion in the group named Harry, who froze as well when his green eyes caught Teddy’s. “ DAD!!!” the colt yelled out, a look of joy on his face and a smile so wide that it almost made everyone cling their chests in pleasurable pain. Harry opened his arms wide as his Godson shot into him, like the Changeling Queen, Amethyst did. The stallion’s eyes grew wet with tears as he wrapped his arms around the colt, whispering with a voice that broke, “ Teddy.” The large group of Ponies in the room looked at the scene with a smile, a couple of the Changeling Queens d’awwing at the sight, cooing at the adorable colt in Harry’s arms. One of them, Helphia, the queen of Family, fed on the reunion in small nibbles, draining the excess emotion that radiated the whole room, feeling full for the first time in centuries. After everyone calmed down and Harry let go of Teddy, they sat down at the table, comfortably close to the Princesses, Luna especially, who blushed lightly at the feeling of his magic that wrapped around her own intimately. Even if they didn’t know it yet, but interesting times are ahead for all of Gaia with Harry James Potter involved… “ So, what you’re saying is that Changelings need emotions to live on?” Harry inquired while talking with Helphia, who sat next to him during the meeting. It has been an hour since the meeting started, and without complaint, the Princesses let the Mane Six, Harry, and Teddy to join the small conference… Which is odd if I didn’t allow it, if I do say so myself… Helphia nodded, her vibrant red mane flying around her shoulders a little as she did so. She replied, “ Indeed, Mister Trotter. All Changelings need some type of emotion to live off of, be it Lust, Love, Family, Innocence, Hate. Sure we can eat pony foods like everyone else, but we prefer emotions because it’s fills us more and lasts longer.” Harry put a hand on his chin, rubbing the more coarse fur that served as a small beard as well. He contemplated for a moment, before getting an idea. “ Well, let’s say that you eat foods like Ponies do, as well as emotions corrects?” At Helphia’s nod, a curious look on her face as she did so, he continued, “ Why not mix both of them together? Separate each individual emotion that the Changeling Hives thrive on and grow them? After the food is either done growing or made, inject them with the emotions and eat it? That way it can last longer without going to waste, and enjoy the best of both worlds.” Helphia, as well as the other Changeling Queens, stared at him slack jawed. Even Chrysalis had her face show surprise… It was VERY amusing… Celestia and Luna thought the idea over in their heads, then nodded. “ We believe that young Mister Trotter has the right idea.” Celestia spoke with a motherly warm smile, that made Teddy squirm at the warmth in him once again. Harry noticed, a look of concern showing in his eyes as he saw him become uncomfortable. Teddy saw that, and shook his head with a reassuring smile, telling him everything is ok. It seemed to have worked, if Harry’s nod was any comprehension. “ Then I think this meeting was a success.” Queen Chrysalis finally spoke up, her gentle tone surprising everyone in the room, including the Princesses. It has been a year since the Changelings tried to invade Canterlot, and all they heard from her was madness and malice… Harry nodded, agreeing with the Queen, who nodded back with a small look of bewilderment showing in her eyes. It was not everyday that a Pony agrees with a Changeling on something, the disagreements usually end in a bloody mess… Teddy walked next to his Godfather, a slight mixture of nervousness and excitement rolling in his stomach as they made their way to a familiar blue Alicorn, who was talking with her older sister about something that made the alabaster mare frown. “ Your Majesties.” Harry said, dipping his head in respect, Teddy following along. “ Ah, Harry Potter, I presume?” Celestia spoke, her tone formal and serious. At the sound of his actual last name, Harry tensed a little, his instincts were telling him to protect Teddy in case things go bad. “Yes?” He answered reluctantly. SLAP! The occupants of the room jumped and turned to the source of the noise… Harry’s head was snapped to the side, showing a slight red mark from Celestia’s hand as she slapped him. He blinked, not even fazed at the slight sting of pain in his cheek, turning his head back to the Alicorn with a confused look. “ Ok… That was unexpected...what’d I do to deserve that, Princess?” Luna’s eyebrow raised at how in control Harry was in his own emotions, despite being hurt. Trust me, Alicorns hit HARD… Celestia crossed her arms and glared at the stallion. “ You abandoned your Godson in the Royal Gardens in the middle of the night, and you ask me what you did? Do you--” She was interrupted by Harry actually glaring at her, emerald orbs glowing with power and anger. “ I didn’t leave my Godson! I woke up in a dark forest near Ponyville.” He was actually struggling not to yell, but whenever his Godson was involved, it’s time for Mama Bear to come out. Nightmare approves that he was in control, because it was somewhat reminiscent to her lighter side... “ I looked for him all night in that damned forest, but when he wasn’t there, I thought he wasn’t in the forest and in the nearby town outside it.” After he finished the last sentence, Harry was only a few inches from the Solar Diarch’s face, not caring about the intense heat she was giving out. Twilight was watching with horror at how her acquaintance was being disrespectful to her mentor and the most powerful Pony in the world. “ Do you have any idea what I had to do to protect my Godson from people who want to hurt him just to get to me? Thieves, grabby reporters, idiotic nobles, killers?” Some in the room gasped at the word ‘killer’. It wasn’t a term used lightly in a peaceful world, after all... Harry’s glare softened, but the serious look stayed, as he continued, “ If there was any choice, I would wipe out entire civilisations and the whole universe just to protect Teddy.” It was deathly quiet, as Celestia’s face didn’t show any emotion, making even Luna a bit nervous. After a few moments, the alabaster mare smiled, saying with a gentle tone, “ I know. It’s exactly how I would go about protecting my Ponies from harm.” Harry blinked as he backed away, slightly confused at the 180 turn in emotions. “ Princess?” The Solar Turned to Twilight, who had a nervous expression. “ Hm?” She replied. Twilight fiddled with her hands for a moment, before gathering the courage to ask. “ You would do that? K-kill I mean, just to protect everypony?” Celestia smiled more warmly, “ Yes Twilight, I would. It is a last resort, which is why I try and reason with threats instead, because ” Harry felt himself calm down more at the contact of Teddy putting a hand in his, squeezing lightly. Celestia turned back to Harry, “ You’re a good father, even though you are young. You seem to have a natural talent in what to say that has meaning to those around you, to make them listen to what you have to say, as if it was instinct.” She stretched out a hand, smiling slyly. “ I believe that we will get along well.” She continued. Harry, at the gentle prodding of his Godson poking him in the side, he reluctantly gripped Princess Celestia’s hand and lightly kissed the middle knuckle. It surprised Celestia, a small tinge of pink in her cheeks showing, but felt a bit giddy inside. Luna smirked, feeling Nightmare snicker and plot mischievously about teasing her older sister about this. Teddy grinned as he saw the look of surprise on everyone else’s face, including the Changeling Queens who were blushing as well. Ya know, since they can sense emotions and all… Harry let go of the Solar Diarch’s hand, clearing his throat and straightened his black vest. “ I agree, Your Highness.” He replied, still somewhat tense after what he done so carelessly without thinking. Celestia smirked, causing Chrysalis and her children, to shudder and become weak in the knees at the emotion she sensed in the Sun Princess. “ Please Mister Potter, call me Celestia.” The stallion smirked back, ignoring that a couple of Chrysalis’s Changelings were giggling at the two. “ As long as you call me Harry, Celestia.” Oh yes, things are about to get interesting with Mister Potter around… *A Few Hours Later* Harry sat on the stairs of the main entrance of Canterlot Castle, looking up at the starlit sky, a look of longing in his eyes as he thought of the people back home that he left behind. “ Sirius… Tonks… Moony… Hermione… Ginny… Ron… I am sorry that I left you all so suddenly…” He whispered into the night, a feeling of quilt panging into his heart, a tear beginning to trickle down his cheek. “ I know that it will hurt now that I'm gone, but…” He wiped the tear away, taking a breath to try and calm his breaking heart at the thought of his friends and wife not with him. It's been a long time since he actually cried, ever since Sirius's death by his deranged cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange… “ But…” he continued, swallowing the lump in his throat, “ But I don't want you all to worry about me. Live your lives to the fullest, Mione, Ron, raise as many kids as possible, Ginny… Love, I don’t want you to be miserable over my absence, do the right thing and change the world, move on from me and find someone who can actually give you what you need, not some iconic ‘hero’ who doesn’t know what the bloody hell he’s doing half the time!.” He then slapped himself up side of the head, a feeling of guilt that was bottled from earlier roaring through him like a torrent of fire. “ I’m so sorry Ginny... I failed as a man, failed as a husband, failed as a father… I can’t believe that... I don’t know if I’ll be able to get back to you to make things right for my actions… You deserve better… I’ve gone and done a idiotic thing again... When I met someone else, I’ve gone and claimed her as my Lover! I mean, who in the world would just go and do that!?” Harry took a breath to calm down from ranting, then continued. “ Me, apparently…” He talked into the sky, not knowing he had an audience, hiding in the shadows. “ Maybe… Just maybe… we'll meet on the Next Great Adventure… And begin working for the forgiveness I don’t deserve for what I did...” He finished, voice cracking at the end. Harry put his head in his hands, shoulders trembling as his body curled up into a sitting ball, his mind breaking down from the past few days getting to him. He stayed like that for a minute, not knowing that someone was sitting next to him... Before a voice spoke up beside him, making the stallion jump. “ Prongslet, you are never alone.” Harry quickly got out of the ball with the instincts of a cat, and whipped his head to the right, before his eyes widened… He said one word, just one… … … … “Sirius…” Author's Note Welp, Chapter 06 Is DONE!!! Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I liked making it, and if you think the Princesses are OOC, DEAL WITH IT! Trust me, there are worse stories out there. What do ya think about Sirius appearing? Anyways... Sorry for taking a while to update, I've been getting writer's block, the bane of an author's existence, but I am slowly getting ideas on how to make the story progress... Like making Harry an Alicorn soon... Until Next Time... TOODLES!!! Up Next: Godfather To Godson... Chapter 07: Godfather to Godson…Chapter 07: Godfather to Godson… “Sirius…” Harry whispered, staring at the man next to him. Sirius Orion Black looked the same, except that he was a unicorn stallion like him with a greenish coat of fur, with the same raggedy hairstyle that went down to his shoulders, and beard is the same. His clothing looked the same as when he fell through the Veil Of Death in the Department Of Mysteries. He smiled at him, “ Hello Harry. Long time no see.” Harry gaped at the stallion next to him, “What, how, who?” The stallion croaked out, feeling faint a bit. Sirius chuckled, the noise snapping the younger stallion out of his shocked trance, speaking. “ How am I here? Well, it's not the Resurrection Stone I'll tell you that, nor am I a Changeling or hallucination.” Harry's jaw clenched, feeling confusion and slight frustration well up within him, not just because of what he just went through, but the fact that his Godfather was still alive without any reason on how... “ Then how the bloody hell are you here?!” After jumping to his feet and pacing for a moment, the young stallion pointed his finger at his assumed Godfather, “ I saw you fall in the Veil!” Sirius only held up a hand, stalling him from saying more, “ Yes, yes I did. But tell me Harry… What IS the Veil?” Harry thought long and hard about that answer for a moment… Sirius continued, a smirk on his face at the sight of his Godson's brain gears steaming. “ It was a portal, the only reason no one told anybody else about it is because?...” He trailed off, waiting for something. “ ...Is because no one came back through.” Harry finished, sitting back down on the steps next to Sirius, “ Who else is here?” Sirius tapped a finger to his chin, thinking for a moment, before answering, “ I honestly don’t know if anyone came to this universe. Granted, there is a one in a million shot that Voldemort himself came through. But if he did, you could've just easily kicked his ass again.” He then shrugged his shoulders, a look in his eyes suggest he is older than he really is, which was a cause for concern to Harry. “ I tried for a long time, Prongslet. But I couldn't find a way back home to you. I went a little mad once I found out I couldn't leave.” Sirius said, his shoulders slumped a bit in regret. Then he straightened up, smiling widely. “ Then... You found your way here, Harry. You and your Godson, Teddy. I… I can finally have the chance to be the Godfather you need… That I neglected to be due to my idiocy all those years ago...” Harry smiled back, eyes watering once again. He did remember the promise Sirius gave him back in Third Year, when he found out Sirius was his Godfather and not his parents’ alleged murderer... Sirius noticed the tears beginning to fall, he adjusted his sitting position, then wrapped his arms around the young stallion, squeezing a bit as Harry let the waterworks go. “ It's ok Harry, it's ok , I'm here for ya. I'm not going anywhere.” Harry wrapped his arms around his Godfather as well. After the two held each other for a full ten minutes, before Sirius let go of his Godson, wiping the tears from the young stallion's eyes. “ See? I'm real. If I wasn't, would I be able to hold you and comfort you?” Harry nodded, sniffling and taking breaths to calm down. “You really ARE, Padfoot.” He spoke, his voice hoarse from crying. Sirius then grinned roguishly, clapping his hand onto Harry's right shoulder. “ Good. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to flirt with those birds called Princesses.” Harry snorted, imagining his Godfather trying to flirt with Nightmare Moon. “ Now, Harry.” Sirius said, steepling his fingers and crossing his leg over the other, “ Let's talk about other things, say like… How to please a Nightmare in bed?” If Harry was drinking something at that moment, he would've done the most epic spit take in the history if Equestria since Celestia with a barrel of water… Instead he choked on his spit, coughing harshly for a moment before glaring at the grinning stallion. “ We are not like that, Sirius. We’ve only just met for Merlin's sake!” Harry exclaimed. The older stallion just continued grinning, then replied with a single sing-song tone in it, “ Ah, but you didn't deny it~” Harry only responded by giving him the bird, causing Sirius to bark with laughter… Harry followed after, holding his sides as they ached in pain from the laughter… After both of them calmed down, Sirius smirked and laid on his back, staring up at the night sky. Then a voice called out from inside the castle, startling Harry and Sirius from their comfortable silence. “ Dad! Where are you?” Sirius clapped a hand on Harry’s shoulder, smiling as he got to his feet. “ Welp, I best be getting home, don’t want the missus to be angry at me n’ all.” Harry jumped up and practically tackled the older stallion, holding him tightly, “ Please, don’t go, Sirius.” He croaked out. He just got his Godfather back, if only he could bring everyone else, including Ginny and his parents, he would find a way to do so... Sirius only patted Harry on the head, and gently pried him off, saying, “ Harry, what did I tell ya? I’m not going anywhere anytime soon, I’m just going home for the night.” Harry stammered, a little bit confused, “ But…” “ DAD!?” Said Teddy’s voice, getting closer and louder. With a sigh, Harry ran a hand through his unruly black mane, making it even more of a mess than trying to tame it. Sirius chuckled, “ Your father did that all the time whenever he was stressed or nervous.” Harry, despite knowing he might never see Sirius again, chuckled along. “ I’ll see you soon, yeah?” He whispered to him. Sirius smirked, “ Well of course you would, pup! Otherwise you would’ve gone mad with grief like I did.” Harry walked up the stairs, waving his hand in goodbye while he heard Teddy’s footsteps on the linoleum floors of the castle. He stopped just at the doors, and smiled at Sirius over his shoulder, before walking in and shutting the big brass door with ease. Then it was just Sirius who stood there in the Royal Gardens, smiling at the twinkling stars of Luna’s night... Then he spoke to the air in a whisper, “ Ah Harry, with you and the lil’ squirt around, things will get a lot more hectic than when I tried to take over the world a long time ago...” Then he held up a hand and snapped his fingers, and disappeared in a flash of light… Reappearing into a dimension that was all sorts of… ...Chaos... Author's Note Now that you know how Sirius is gonna be in the story... What do you think about the shipping that might ensue soon??? I apologize about the OCness of Harry and some other characters, but I am just going what I imagine will happen... It's not gonna be a harem, it's gonna be mainly Nightmare x Harry, Luna x Chrysalis, Teddy x Amethyst ( Cause of the age), and Dislestia… If you don't like the way the shipping is, then DON'T READ!!! Anyways, See you all in the next chapter! TOODLES!!! Next Up: Galas & Dragons... Chapter 08: Galas & Dragons...Chapter 08: Galas & Dragons… It has been a few weeks since Harry and Teddy arrived in Equestria, settling in to the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters, getting to KNOW the Royal Pony Sisters. There has been some light flirting here and there between Teddy and Amethyst though, which gave Harry a REALLY bad image in his head for long term futures… As for Harry, he and Celestia talk about how to protect Equestria better, especially with his opinions on their defences and how to make them better or upgraded without a way to have problems sneak into her and Luna’s country. Luna and Harry talk at night about the stars, about the tales of monsters they fought, their personal demons among other things… Then the announcement was made… The Grand Galloping Gala was to be held in the Royal Ballroom in the Castle, where all sorts of nobles could converse with the common ponies (in their eyes, anyway…), where there’s music and dancing and food… It reminded Harry of the Yule Ball in his fourth year, once again… But this time there was no way he was gonna be stepping on anyone’s toes, not with the dancing lessons Fleur and Fancy Pants gave him a few days back, when they found out he couldn’t dance… His suit looked even more sharp looking than the one he wore everyday, ever since he arrived… The dress shirt was a dark red, and his jacket was black with green, blue, and white trimmings, with a pair of black silk slacks that felt like Acromantula silk… But there was no way that his Godfather had conveniently found some in his attic...Right?... Anyways… His shoes were steel toed and shined up, sparkling slightly in Celestia’s sunshine. Harry’s unruly black hair was the same as it was, just grown out into a slightly tamed mullet, which was the style he liked since if he could just tie his hair into a tail if he was in the mood for it. There was a knock on the door, and Harry called out as he finished doing his “ Come in!” The door opened behind him and in the reflection of the full body mirror standing in front of him, his Godson’s head poked in, wearing a smaller version of what Harry was wearing, except that the shirt was blue with a purple vest and jacket, wearing the same slacks Sirius gave him, and the shoes were red converse, with a bit of black outlining the frame. “ Dad, the dance is about to start!” Said Teddy, a look of nervousness and excitement in his eyes. He has been like that ever since he asked Amethyst to the Gala a week ago, with chocolates, flowers and everything… It was sweet, amusing, and heartwarming now that you think about it… Harry smirked at how Teddy was like him when he was younger, except that his Godson was 10, almost 11 years old in a few months, since according to the Equestrian Calendar, it was in the middle of June, and Teddy’s birthday is at the end September. He spoke, “ You’re looking sharp, kiddo. Is Amethyst with you, or is she waiting for you to escort her to the ballroom?” From the redness in Teddy’s cheeks, he apparently didn’t think of that, causing Harry to chuckle in amusement. All was well for Harry… The Royal Ballroom was a room that was the size of the Great Hall in Hogwarts, but without the long four tables taking up the space, but there were sun and moon tapestries hanging from the ceiling, along with a couple hearts here and there. He hadn’t met Cadence apparently… Maybe I can make a chapter on that...Hmm… The place was crowded with Nobles from the city of Canterlot, along with a couple of people from Ponyville and Cloudsdale, as well as the rest of Gaia. There were Griffins, Minotaurs, Seaponies, Changelings, Yaks, Buffalo, there were so many that it makes MY head hurt… Harry walked down a set of stairs that wound down into the ballroom, trying his best to not fidget and run a hand through his hair. She should be here… He thought to himself as he leaned against the rails of a small foyer, looking out over the whole entire room, watching the citizens of Canterlot mingle with each other and delegates. He was pulled from his thoughts by a voice speaking up next to him, “ It is a wonderful sight, is it not?” Harry looked to the right and saw Nightmare Moon leaning against the rail next to him, wearing a tight blue dress that hugged her curves in all the right places, the neckline dipping between her C Cup breasts. She was wearing eyeshadow, red lipstick that made her already plump lips stick out more against her black-as-night coat ( Ha, see what I did there?), and was wearing a couple of crescent moon earrings, along with a red gemstone that looked like the philosopher's stone that he tried to protect from Voldemort in his First Year of Hogwarts. It was a bit revealing, but still more than decent… But… Damn... Harry James Potter... You are one lucky bastard… She was looking out to the crowd with him, her starry purple mane slightly billowing in an unforeseen wind that the Alicorns only seem to possess, not minding the fact that he was staring at her… Anyways, Harry averted his eyes from the… mesmerising sight and looked back out to the crowd, smiling lightly. Now, I know what you might be thinking, how the hell did Nightmare Moon become his date for the Grand Galloping Gala? Well... It happened last night… *FLASHBACK STARTS* ( Harry was walking down the corridors of Canterlot Castle, looking around at the architecture of what must be at least as old as Hogwarts stonework. He was alone, since he just tucked Teddy into bed a few minutes ago and wasn’t feeling tired. He decided to talk a walk in the middle of the night, not knowing that he was being followed… It was only a minute after he finished looking in the hallway, did a voice speak up behind him, causing him to eject his wand out of it’s am holster, and aim at the source, his reflexes kicking in as he did so. After catching sight of the person who spoke, he lowered the Elder Wand and relaxed his muscles. Nightmare Moon watched him with a raised eyebrow, and an amused look twinkling in her serpentine eyes. She was wearing her silver armor that looked less dented and worn out than before, in case you were just imagining her in the nude, which I don’t blame you… Anyways… She spoke, her tone filled with laughter. “ Well, I’ve had greetings that were worse than that, Harry Potter.” Harry couldn’t help but snort at that sentence, slipping the Elder Wand back into the arm holster. He did try and have Death take The Hallows back, but she refused him, saying that they were gifts to her Master, and can be brilliant tools in case he needs them, the Elder Wand for defense and offense, The Resurrection Stone to bring back the dead and get information, and the Invisibility Cloak for OBVIOUS reasons… ... Get your minds out of the gutters, you pervs… “ Yeah, well, I apologize for my jumpiness, it’s because I…” He was interrupted by Nightmare. “ Don’t trust us? Or because of the hell that you’ve gone through your whole life?” Harry blinked at her, slightly shocked at what Nightmare knew what was gonna be said before he did. “ How…?” The Mare In The Moon smirked, her canine shining in Luna’s moonlight. Somehow it gave him a different reaction instead of the fear that it must cause others at the sight of it… “ Because of your dreams, Mister Potter. Luna and I saw them as I was making sure no bad dreams plague your sleep. Luna took care of our other subjects in Equestria.” The stallion thought that over for a moment, So that’s why I haven’t had nightmares in a few days! He thought to himself. “ I want to say thank you for helping, but at the same time I want to yell at you for the invasion of my privacy.” He said. Nightmare Moon slyly smirked back, replying, “ You can invade my privacy at any time.” Swaying her hips even more as she sauntered up to him, walking past him. The gears in his head whirled as he broke down what she last said, before turning beet red at the image. Then he got an idea… He turned around at the Alicorn. “ Well, why not go to the Gala with me? I promise I won’t do anything untowards you, m’lady.” Harry said, his voice echoing throughout the hall. Nightmare Moon stopped, turning around with wide eyes filled with slight surprise. Well, that answer was not what I expected. She thought to herself, before answering Harry. “ I accept, Mister Potter. Don’t be late.” Before she turned around and began walking again. When she turned the corner and disappeared, Harry sighed… Then he jumped into the air mouthing “YES!”) *FLASHBACK ENDS* When the light faded from the flashback, Harry and Nightmare were on the dance floor, twirling elegantly and being the eye catching pair of the entire night… The Changeling Queens, who were standing at the edges of the room and talking to other foreign delegates as well as each other at how cute the two looked together. Nightmare Moon and Harry Potter didn’t notice as they stared into each other's eyes, serpentine turquoise meeting with bright emerald green in a form of combat. “ You are an excellent dancer, Mister Potter. Wherever did you learn?” Nightmare said in a low whisper. From what she saw in his memories, Harry wasn’t a great dancer, and that was due to the fact of his time at the Dursleys, which made Nightmare’s blood boil at the thought of that damned cupboard under the stairs, he kept stepping on everyone’s toes at the one dance he went in his whole life called the Yule Ball, and he SUCKED at it. But now… He seemed to have done this for YEARS, if the graceful movements were any indicator… “ Well… Fleur and Fancy Pants taught me in a few days, when the Gala was announced and found out I wasn’t a good dancer. They just gave me a couple of pointers and my body seems to do the rest.” He replied, shrugging his shoulders with a sheepish look in his eyes as he twirled Nightmare around and then dipping her back. It was breathtaking for her… After lifting Nightmare back up to normal, they continued to dance, some mares were glaring in envy at Nightmare, who looked to be a normal unicorn mare with a black coat and purple mane, her serpentine eyes were hidden behind a pair of regular turquoise ones. The two began to move closer to the other as time went on, and when they were a few inches from each other’s faces, an explosion went off, causing a rumble of panic and screams to emanate from everyone in the room. Harry and Nightmare pulled back from each other and Harry looked around with a sharp eye, grabbing his Elder Wand from his holster, ready for a fight. Nightmare conjured an orb of lightning to compress into her hand, pressing their backs to each other. But there was a roar that shook the castle and a giant head with scales crashed through the ballroom wall. When he saw the maw full of sharp teeth, his instincts told him to fire a stunner immediately, which Harry did so, casting the spell silently. Oh, you didn't know? Yeah, he can fire spells including the Avada Kedavra which even Voldemort couldn't do… When the red bolt of magic hit the snout of the black dragon, it's attention was diverted from trying to eat a small group of Nobles, and towards him. It was glaring at him like the Hungarian Horntail Nesting Mother from the First Task… Filled with Determination, Harry fired a Bombarda at the scaly and muscular neck, but it didn't do much except pissing it off even more. Nightmare shot her hand forward towards the dragon and the orb got turned into a beam of electrical energy, striking the burly chest of the large dragon, causing it to roar in pain. When she was about to do so again, the dragon's spiked tail caught her in the side, sending the Alicorn flying across the room. Her dress disappeared and covering her now was the armor she always wore, the glamour wearing off as her wings spread wide and flapped to keep herself in the air. Nightmare charged back at the dragon, firing beams of magic at it, while Harry tried to get the nearby civilians out if the area. When Harry was about to join the fight once again, he heard a cry of pain come from the hole in the wall, catching his attention. The cry came from Chrysalis, who was trapped beneath a large chunk of rubble, trying to escape. It was too heavy for her, he knew, that if he didn't hurry, the weight of the rubble would crush her lungs… He sprinted towards the downed Changeling Queen, avoiding random bolts of lightning that came from Nightmare as she attacked the dragon head-on, keeping it distracted. He slid to his knees and gripped the edge of the rubble, pulling up with all of his might, and Chrysalis pushed as much as she could. When the rubble begin to shift, a large shadow looked over them and he looked up. The dragon was glaring down at them, Nightmare was knocked out against the far wall with a couple of singes to her armor and fur. Harry tensed, knowing that if he didn't get Chrysalis out of here, she would die… … And it would cause a war between the Changelings and the Dragon Kingdom… Knowing he might die, Harry pulled with as much strength in his muscles as he could, groaning with pain as his muscles tore. But he kept pulling, ignoring the pain and kept himself thinking to save Chrysalis, who looked at him with a sense of awe as she felt the weight if the rubble lighten every second. The rubble lifted high enough for Chrysalis to scoot out, her emerald green dress was ripped and torn in places, a couple of bleeding scratches from the stone caused the Queen to hiss in pain, then forced herself to hurry as she saw that the dragon opened its mouth and the throat was glowing brightly, indicating that it was about to fire. As soon as Chrysalis was out from under the rubble, Harry let go of the heavy piece of stonework and used what little strength he had and magically pushed Chrysalis ten feet away from him, causing her to fall on her plump backside. Then a torrent of hot flames descended upon him with the power of a thousand suns… Princess Celestia watched as her golden battle armor appeared on her body, a feeling of helplessness wrung from within her as the Solar Diarch's noticed what Harry was doing. She was just returning from evacuating the guests to the bunker underground when she saw Nightmare Moon getting knocked out from the dragon hitting her with a backhanded SMACK, hitting the wall and falling to the ground. Celestia was about to fly towards Harry and the trapped Chrysalis when he pushed the Changeling Queen away, and the beam of flames that came out of the dragon's mouth and into where the stallion stood. Horror filled the Sun Princess and she fell to her knees, the strength that was roaring within her got snuffed out. She felt Luna land alongside her, her dark blue battle armor just appearing as well… She saw Chrysalis cover her face at how bright the flames were since she was closer than the two Rulers… Nightmare just came to and she screamed, “NO!” in horror. She just figured out what happened… When the flames died down, all that was left of Harry, was the Elder Wand, somehow still intact and in the fingers of the smoking skeleton that laid on the ground, in the middle of the scorched crater. The dragon inspected it's work and began chuckling, it's rumbling laugh echoed throughout the room. Then it was interrupted by snapping fingers, and in a flash of light, stood Sirius Black in the same attire from when he sat next to Harry that one night… And he looks PISSED as he took in the scene… Celestia and the other two Alicorns and Changeling Queen looked at the man in confusion before he spoke. “ That was my Godson you just killed, you bastard.” He hissed, his normal grey eyes changing to fierce red. Celestia gasped as she heard the voice… It was all too familiar… “ Discord.” She whispered, the name spoke of power and it filled the room with the mere mention of it. Sirius---Discord, turned to the Alicorns, his red eyes filled to the brim with rage and the whites turned into a sickly yellow. “ Hello Tia. I wish I could say if you would ask to dance, but frankly, we have other problems right now.” The Spirit of Chaos turned back to the dragon, who was firing another blast of flames at where he stood, but teleported out of the way. “ Now, I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me a helping hand!” He said as he fired an orb at the charging dragon as it tried to eat him, causing it to screeched in pain as it hit. The Solar Diarch snapped out of her daze and turned to her younger sister, who seemed to do the exact same and both nodded their heads. Celestia fired a beam of pure sunlight at the left wing of the dragon, who screeched in pain as it's appendage was burned to a crisp. Luna made a crescent scythe appear and charged in from the air at high speeds, swinging as she dodged the flames with ease, causing a couple of scratches on the scaled armor. Nightmare, after getting up from her position on the wall, charged directly at the dragon with a warcry, a large silver sword appearing in her hand, swinging with serpentine eyes filled with rage… … and grief… It was a fight worthy in the history books as the three Alicorns and Chaos Spirit fought the dragon, causing it to become injured more and more… The dragon suddenly threw a torrent of flames at Luna, who collided with a nearby beam that was dangling off the ceiling... It then stomped on the ground, causing a large shockwave to emanate from that and caused Celestia and Nightmare to go flying across the room... Sirius tried to freeze it into a ice cube, but got hit by the spiked tail of the dragon, holding his side in pain as it cracked a rib, and his magic was low, so he couldn't heal it and get back into the fight immediately... Nightmare got slapped again and landed between the two injured Alicorns, moaning in pain as her muscles ached in severe pain… Chrysalis, who joined the fight, was trying to get into it's mind and control it, but got smacked by a claw that sent her flying into a wall, falling unconscious… The dragon full on let out a booming laugh as it stomped to the pile of Alicorns, while Sirius tried to fire another orb of Chaos Magic at it to keep it away from them. Nightmare Moon glared in defiance at the dragon looking above her and the two she calls sisters, as the dragon spoke, “ You ponies are such a puny race! you don't deserve to rule lands, you all will bow before me, Thor Odinson! I will claim my place as king of Gaia and destroy every single creature that you love!” At that declaration, Thor inhaled and opened his mouth, his throat glowing, ready to fire the killing blow… Nightmare wrapped her unconscious sisters, closing her eyes with a tear trickling down her cheek… In all of her existence, she never regretted anything, But... She never even had the chance to tell Harry how she felt… Ever since he arrived the Stallion caught her eye for some reason, whether if he has a heart of gold, a disregard for safety like the guards in the old days, or something else entirely… Now it is too late… … THUMPTHUMP... He’s dead... … THUMPTHUMP... The dragon was ready to do the killing blow that will potentially cripple the society of Ponykind… “Never Again...” Whispered a voice, so quiet, yet it echoed throughout the entire chamber... Suddenly, a powerful green beam shot out from behind Thor, striking him in the back. He roared in immense pain, causing Nightmare, Celestia, and Luna to snap their eyes open and look at the source of that beam. Nightmare's eyes widened… “ That is not possible…” She whispered out. Author's Note Ooh~ What do you think happens next? Hope you all enjoyed the chapter as I enjoyed writing it! Lemme know in the comments if there are grammar errors or if you want something added into it to make the story even JUCIER... Anyways, I might not put any affection between Harry and Nightmare, because I SUCK at emotions... But I'll try my best, but NO CLOP! You guys can imagine it in your own time! Next Up: Explanations... Chapter 09: The Master Of DeathChapter 09: The Master Of Death The large beam of magic was coming from the Elder Wand, being held by Harry James Potter… He looked to be normal, his attire is the same for the Gala... But half his face was missing, the tissue and blazing green eye was glaring at the dragon with rage… Harry James Potter is alive… And severely PISSED off... Nightmare Moon, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, watched as the man who got melted into a skeleton from the dragonfire, stand as if he didn’t just burn to death… Harry only glanced at the group of Alicorns for a second before turning to the glaring dragon, shouting with indignation, “ Hey ugly! That was a cheap shot!” He then began charging at the dragon, using his Elder Wand to spell-chain stinging hexes to full on Killing Curses, using his free hand to wandlessly push the mares out of the way as he did so. Thor roared at the stallion that he tried to kill and began to charge at him in return, claw fully opened and ready to end this… Harry skidded under the soft underbelly of the dragon and began firing heavy and dark cutting curses like Sectumsempra, and cuts of all sizes began appearing in the soft scales as he slid out from under the dragon with his momentum. He then pushed against the wall with his feet and went flying back at Thor, who turned around and shot more fire at him from his mouth. Harry used Protego Maxima and the flames engulfed him, the shield charm protecting him from getting turned into a crisp. It was only a few seconds until Harry disappeared in the torrent of flames, once again. Thor kept the flames up for a second before stopping, looking smug at killing the annoying pest of a pony… “ Yeah, nice try, but I’m not an idiot.” Said Harry as he apparated a few feet above the dragon, firing a heavy stinging hex that collided with Thor’s left eye, causing the scaled beast to roar in pain. Harry tried to apparate again, but found pink fleshy walls surrounding him… Thor’s jaws slammed around where Harry was and turned to glare at the downed Alicorns, raising a scaled hand with sharp claws, ready to finish what he started... Then Thor suddenly stopped and began choking, a bulge in his throat moving downwards as the dragon tried to hack up the intruder. Then he began screeching in pain, holding his chest as a glow began to emanate within his chest cavity, glowing red… Then the dragon's chest exploded outward, a spray of blood and gore flew out, coating some of the walls along with fire spewing out from the hole. Thor fell onto his back, twitching every few moments, choking on his own blood… The scaled lizard never moved again… Then the hole in the dragon's chest expanded outwards and out came the stallion who was dead a few minutes ago, covered in blood and small pieces of flesh. “ Well… That was fun…” Harry said, panting a bit at how much energy he used. It felt like he was being ran over by the Knight Bus a hundred times over… Then a pair of arms wrapped around him, causing Harry to freeze for a moment before recognising the coat color. Nightmare Moon was squeezing him tightly, for the first time feeling great and pure relief that he was ok, a couple of tears rolled down her cheeks in joy. Then she did something that surprised everyone, including Nightmare herself… She kissed him, full on the lips… The Changelings that were just now congregating into the room to help, felt that and tongues lolled out with pure ecstasy of the love that was filling the room. Celestia blinked at the suddenness of Nightmare’s action, and Luna felt her cheeks turn red as they watched. Chrysalis felt herself go dazed as the wave of emotions hit her full on, causing a light moan to come out of her mouth as her eyes rolled up into bliss as she absorbed the energy to heal from the, frankly, one-sided fight. After a few moments, Nightmare and Harry pulled back, The stallion looking a little dazed at what just happened, before Nightmare snorted, causing him to snap out of it. “ Whu…” He only began replying before falling unconscious, Nightmare catching him in her arms. The Mare In The Moon blinked down at the unconscious male for a moment, before looking at the Alicorns and Changeling Queen with a deadpan expression on her face. “ That is not the reaction I expected...” She said, her tone flat. Luna couldn’t help but snort, despite the situation they were in a few minutes ago. Discord woke up a few seconds later, staring at the scene of Nightmare holding his Godson, before grinning. That’s my boy. He thought as he grabbed Celestia’s offered hand that was lowered into view, an expression on her face that he can’t read. We’ll get to that later my dear author. He thought to himself as he felt his energy levels rise to a nominal state. The Spirit Of Chaos floated over to the two and gently picked up Harry bridal style from Nightmare, whose head tilted into his chest, making him smile gently, remembering the first time he saw Harry last… He was a baby back then… So much time lost…Idiotic decisions made... Sirius internally shook his head from his dark thoughts and set the unconscious Man-Who-Conquered down on the gurney that was being maneuvered by a couple of nurses from the Royal Hospital Wing. He followed the nurses being led by Celestia and Luna, Nightmare running along the gurney with an intense expression on her face, pretty determined to get Harry medical attention as well as be by his side as he recovers from what made him still alive from Thor’s barrage of fire. Chrysalis stayed behind and told the events of what happened to the guests as well as her sisters… Teddy held Amethyst in a comforting hug as they heard about what happened in the ballroom, after the evacuation… … Including the death and sudden resurrection of Harry... The Royal Guards brought in unicorn specialists to clean up the gigantic mess the dragon caused... The body of Thor itself was thrown into the largest volcano far away in Equestria with a scary looking eye floating above it... Needless to say... It was one HELLUVA night for all involved… Author's Note I AM DONE WITH THAT CHAPTER!!! FUCKING FINALLY!!! I apologize for the delays, but there was SO much going on, but I DID IT!!! Hope you all enjoyed the chapter as I did! Will Nightmare and Harry's sudden relationship take a great turn later on? Will Celestia finally talk to Discord? Will Luna find something in common with Chrysalis? Will Teddy and Amethyst have 'FUN'? SO many questions, so little time!!! Next up: Meet Thyself… Chapter 10: Meet Thyself...Chapter 10: Meet Thyself… Darkness was all Harry Potter saw… The void that he saw was nothing but black, like a moonless night… It was terrifying, because it looked like it was trying to suck him in and leave nothing behind in the realm of reality… Harry shook his head and looked behind him, where instead of darkness, there was the familiar chamber room where he first met Lady Death, but it was empty… Odd… He walked around the chamber, trying to see if there were any clues as to how he got here. The last thing he remembered was killing that dragon, the one that roasted him into a crisp… And he came back to life somehow... … Is this what it feels to be Master Of Death? Immense Healing and Immortality?! He began pacing the room, his fists clenching and unclenching behind his back as his vision grew red with the implications that he could never die… And the feeling of helplessness once again that if he truly was immortal, he could never age and see everyone he cared for ( Which was Teddy and probably the Mane Six as well as the Princesses), die because they weren’t immortal... Feeling frustrated at the way Lady Fate seemed to screwing him over once again, he grabbed a nearby vase and threw it in the direction of the void, yelling, “ GODDAMMIT! WHY?!” He ranted as he kept throwing and destroying stuff as he took his lifetime full of anger on objects. WHY CAN’T I JUST BE NORMAL FOR ONCE?! ALL I WANTED WAS A HAPPY LIFE!” Then a voice spoke up from behind him, “ Then that would mean that you’ll be the same as all the rest, Mister Potter.” Harry whirled around, emerald eyes blazing with fire, before blinking in confusion. Sitting on a chair that was in the corner of the room, untouched by his frustrated rampage, was an old man, not like Dumbledore, but looked to be older than that. The light seemed to make the man’s silvery white hair shine like pearls in water, his clothing consisted of black attire that vaguely reminded him of Severus Snape, what with the black trousers and buttoned up shirt… But there was something familiar about him… But Harry can’t put his finger on it… Maybe it was because of the eyes, the same eyes he saw whenever he was looking into a mirror… Older than the rest of him… That had seen so many wars, so much death… “ Because that would make you the same as everyone else, pretending to be something you’re not…” Harry opened his mouth to say something, but the stranger flicked a finger, and he couldn’t even get the words out through his throat. “ I’m not finished…” The old man said, green eyes twinkling with amusement. Waitaminute… Green eyes… Now that Harry focused on the eyes more, he found they seemed to be the same shade as his, but more worn out with time… He felt the magic that was slightly constricting his throat that prevented him from speaking, he whispered, tensed up and ready for a fight if necessary. “ Who are you?” The older man smirked, a smirk that was so familiar to him. “ Haven’t you already figured that out, Harry? I’m YOU.” The younger Harry sat down at the opposite couch, very shocked at what he saw… Is this what I’ll look like if I didn’t take the Hallows?” He asked, his voice hoarse as his mind tried to wrap around the complications of two people in the same room. Sure there was the Time Turner… But that was a completely different ball game, where the people of the past didn’t See them… But here he is… Talking to his older self, without the universe imploding… His older self shook his head, seemingly to get rid of memories long past, and smiled, the wrinkled and pale lips upturned into a smile, “ I know that you’re thinking of the consequences of meeting yourself, but frankly, I don’t think that anything can go wrong with giving a little advice.” After he said this, Older Harry leaned forward, elbows on his knees and hands steepled under his chin, “ Because there will be darkness in the long road ahead, a storm’s brewing, a mare with a desperate need for help become corrupted with fake promises, a empire’s return, a love kindled and ablaze.” Then he smirked, mischief in his eyes, “ But you seemed to have skipped a few steps…” Younger Harry snorted, remembering the last scene was Nightmare kissing him… Apparently she was very good at that if it still made him pink now… Older Harry grinned, “ Ah Yes… Good ol’ Nighty… Was that when you killed the dragon? It’s been a long time since then…” His eyes grew mistful, as if going through centuries of memories… Younger Harry decided to get to the point, “ Why am I here? More to the point why are YOU here?” The Older Version of himself grinned. “ Blunt… But I’ll let it slide. Why you are here is because you passed out from the fight.” As he saw his younger self open his mouth to say something, he held up a hand and continued, “ But don’t worry, everyone is alright, there might be some bumps, scrapes and guts, but they are ok.” Then he sighed, “ Though I can not say the same for their emotional wellbeing.” It made Harry confused as he caught the sadness in the tone of his Older Self. “ Why? What are they worried about? I’m fine aren’t I? Otherwise I wouldn’t be talking to myself!” It was silent for a moment as Harry’s Future Self take a couple of breaths, as if to gather courage or to calm down, he didn’t know… Then his Older Self smiled, making Harry even more confused as he saw the shadows of the room come alive. “ They are currently trying to keep your condition stable, while your magic heals your body of any superficial injuries, like when Aunt Petunia shaved our head and it grew back the next morning… Remember that?” Harry was about to reply, when the shadows started screeching and whirling around the entire room, making Older Harry shoot a sad smile at his Younger Self. “ You’re waking up. Before I go. Tell her how you feel. Tell her that you’ll spend the rest of eternity with Nightmare and be honest, under no circumstances don’t hesitate to give her all the love you can. When the time comes…” He stopped for a second, then continued after a breath, “ When the time comes… Give her all the love you can in that gold heart of ours, do so just like Ginny, eh?” Harry sputtered, calling out to his Older Self as he started fading into nothing, “ W-wait! What do you---?” Then the shadows overcame his vision, cutting his sentence off… Author's Note I Am Sorry for the delay! I have been hit with the case of severe writer's block, and I just got back to this story! But I hope you enjoyed the way this chapter is, Lemme know if there are any grammar errors and stuff!!! Next Up: Waking Up & Questions... Chapter 11: Waking UpChapter 11: Waking Up & Questions Harry woke up from his strange meeting with his future self on a bed, a familiar bed that made Harry internally groan in frustration… A Hospital Bed… Harry Potter’s bane of existence… After his vision cleared til it was less blurry than normal, he scrounges around on the end table that was next to his bed for his glasses... Only to be handed them by a white blob with rainbow colors… As soon as Harry got his glasses on, he saw that Princess Celestia was sitting in a chair next to his bed, with a tome in her hands, a pair of reading specs placed on the edge of her muzzle… “ I’m glad to see that you’re awake, Harry.” She said, a neutral tone in her voice, which caused Harry to become slightly worried about what happened that made him black out. After a few moments of uncomfortable silence, Harry spoke, his voice raspy from dehydration, “ What happened, Princess Celestia?” The alabaster Alicorn set the book down on the empty end table, and put away her specs, folding them up and placing them into her inner breast pocket of the white suit jacket she’s wearing. When she looked serious, it means something BAD happened… She contemplated something for a few more moments, before asking, “ Do you remember what happened last night, Harry?” At the shake of his head, Celestia sighed, rubbing the back of her neck to get the kinks and cramps out of staying in one position too long as she read a book. She then began explaining the details of the Grand Galloping Gala, how a bloodthirsty and arrogant dragon by the name of Thor crashed the party, literally and started to cause mayhem, trapping Queen Chrysalis in the process, then dying… It actually threw Harry for a loop every time he died and came back… It was HILARIOUS… “ I died again, didn’t I?” He murmured to himself, slightly embarrassed that his ‘Saving People Thing’ as Hermione called it got himself killed once again. It wasn’t like he constantly wanted to get himself killed whenever he wanted to save someone, it just… happens. Celestia’s eyes widened for a fraction of a second at that, before narrowing with the look that only Molly Weasley could pull whenever her children were about to get a stern talking to. “ What do you mean, ‘Again’?” She asked, her tone, even though it was gentle, there was the slight undertone of ‘ you-better-tell-me-everything-right-now, before-I-kill-you’, which made Harry flinch a little bit, his childhood memories of Aunt Petunia using the same tone with him whenever he was used as a scapegoat for Dudley’s bullying coming to the forefront in his mind. ...He’d rather not think about that right now… Apparently, Celestia caught that, and her light purple irises contracted a little at the small thought that cropped up in her mind. But she put the slight theory to the side for later, focusing on getting a straight answer from the Sun-Damned enigma that was Harry James Potter… Harry sighed, ruffling his messy hair in nervousness as he tried to think of a way to explain his immortality to the Sun Goddess. “ It’s because he’s immortal, Princess Celestia.” Said a voice. Harry and Celestia turned towards the open door and there stood Helphia. The Changeling Queen trotted into the room, her blood-red eyes that vaguely reminded Harry of Voldemort’s, were glowing in the dark. “ He was immortal when he first arrived in the castle, I could sense it and the scent of Death surrounding him.” After seeing Celestia tense, she added, “ Don’t worry, Celestia. He ain’t here to kill anyone. In fact…” Helphia sat down in a chair on the opposite of Celestia, on the other side of Harry’s bed, who watched the Queen with resignation, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to keep his immortality a secret any longer, enjoying that he was normal for a day and a night, before the dragon. “ He is the Master Of Death. The one true power that, from your everyday citizen to the darkest force in the land they wanted to achieve.” She looked into Harry’s green eyes and smirked lightly. “ How you came across this power without going mad, I might never know…” Her smirk turned into a smile, “ But I am eternally glad that it was you that obtained the Deathly Hallows, so they won’t fall into the wrong hands. Thank You.” Harry took a breath for a moment, and nodded his head, the feeling of trepidation washed over him as he explained how he obtained the Deathly Hallows, and how the Final Battle of Hogwarts went, then explained briefly of the prophecy he and Voldemort shared, and how the Dark Lord killed his parents but died trying to do the same thing to Harry himself when he was one year old. Celestia had a tear going down her left cheek, where neither Harry or Helphia could see it. The Solar Diarch’s mind put the pieces together as Harry very vaguely explained his home life with the Dursleys, making her gut grow hot with fury, a feeling she recognizes as her other side tried to break free of the seal Celestia placed a thousand years ago. It felt… different than the other times Daybreaker tried to break out of her prison; instead of just an urge to set aflame the entire world and rule over a pile of smoldering ash like every time, she just felt a motherly rage as she listened to Harry explain his life to both of them. Celestia planned to speak to Daybreaker...Tonight… … … … It gives you shivers, doesn’t it? After the last year of explaining the 2nd Wizarding War, Harry saw that Celestia’s left eye turned from a normal purple pupil to a fiery serpentine, glowing very dimly in the darkening room. It reminded Harry of Nightmare, who was pacing in Luna’s mindscape, trying to figure out a way to obtain a permanent body in the living world, and be by Harry’s side without having Luna near, taking up the Lunar Diarch’s time as well. Harry had thought he oughta talk to Nightmare next time he saw her, and explain the sudden kiss the night before at the ball after he killed Thor... Things are gonna get… Heated up next chapter… isn’t it?... Author's Note Sorry if it took me a long time to get back into the story, Life is being a bitch and I am still having writer's block, but don't worry, I am trying my best to make 1,000-word chapters for you to enjoy, and to make this story the largest I've made. What do you all think is gonna happen in the next chapter? Leave a comment down below on what you might think! Next Up: Blazing Passions... TOODLES!!! Chapter 12: A Blazing Familial PassionChapter 12: A Blazing Familial Passion… The Halls of Canterlot Castle was eerily quiet. Too quiet… The only noise that disturbed the silence was the gentle breathing of Celestia, who was sitting Indian Style in the middle of a dark room, with black obsidian walls and iron flooring. The Solar Diarch inhaled through her nose, and out through her mouth. Her alabaster white body was sitting stiffly in one place, in the center of the massive chamber. As if waiting for something… Or someONE… The grandfather clock’s large hand struck midnight, and the bells chimed, echoing throughout the quiet castle in a looming sense of dread... It was silent in the chamber, silent as the-- Celestia’s eyes suddenly snapped open, and her purple eyes were changed into serpentine gold, leaking fire out of her sockets. Her dress changed into a molten colored set of full body armor, complete with gauntlets and helmet. Her rainbow-colored mane changed into an inferno of gold and red fire, whirling around her head in a hurricane of power. Her lips pulled back and her molars turned into ragged fangs, sharp enough to rip into flesh with ease. The fiery form of the Alicorn stood up and cracked her neck, grinning with malice. “ Hello, Celestia. So glad that you let me out, finally.” The ghostly form of Celestia sat in the same position in front of her, dipping her head. “ You do know what the reason I let you out is, correct?” Said the Solar Diarch. Daybreaker, who frowned lightly as she went through her other self’s memories, then nodding, “ Is it about the young man?” She said. The tone in her voice was very gentle, which was slightly surprising to Celestia. She nodded, “ Yes, it’s about Harry Potter. I am sure that you’ve heard of what he went through in his childhood?” She asked, her pale eyes dimming at the memory of Harry’s life story being told to her and Helphia, who used a passive aura to reveal any secrets Harry might’ve had in case he was a threat to her ponies. It was the opposite, wherever Harry came from, the world was against him. Daybreaker’s normally insane and malicious grin turned into an animalistic snarl, her gold irises glowing with rage that could be accustomed to Celestia’s own sun. “ Indeed.” She bit out, a small dollop of fire spewing from her mouth as she did so, “ If we ever meet these ‘Dursleys’, they shall know the true wrath of the sun!” Celestia snorted, getting her darker side’s attention, “ I agree with you on that, Day. Abuse is not tolerated, no matter what country or race of creature you’re born in. If we meet them, I will let you have your… fun.” She then smirked at the last sentence, “ I might even get Luna and Nightmare to join in.” Daybreaker grinned evilly, very eager to at least do SOME good with her abilities. The pyromaniac Alicorn then shook her head, her eyes boring into Celestia’s. “ What’s the plan for young Harry Potter, Celly? We can’t just very well ADOPT the man without his consent!” The Solar Diarch’s eyes turned cunning, catching Daybreaker with a sly smirk. “ Who says that I can’t very well just ask?” She said, her voice calm and slightly mischievous, even more than Discord could manage. Her darker self’s eyes widened for a moment, before tapping a finger to her chin. Then she nodded, grinning even more. “ If it doesn’t work out, At least I tried and he’ll know that I care--that we all care about him and Young Teddy. Even though it has been a couple of days since we met, I feel like I could trust him even with my darkest secret.” At this she shot a small playful glare at the smug entity, then continued, “ Harry has a way of words that makes everyone in the room pay attention and listen like I do and Teddy has that adorable naivety that makes me want to spoil him rotten.” Celestia said, leaning back a bit, sighing through her nostrils in weariness. The past few days have been hectic, isn’t it?... “Speaking of, How long will it take for me to be introduced to them? I wanted to meet Harry and Teddy ever since they arrived in the castle.” Daybreaker inquired with a tilt of her head. Celestia leaned back, her face one of pondering for a few moments, then nodded to herself on her decision. “ I will let you meet Harry using my body, in this chamber so the surroundings won’t get melted or charred. I will be in astral form and in plain view of Young Harry so he will know what’s going on. Teddy can be introduced later. Agreed?” Daybreaker nodded in immediate agreement, then smirked, “Nightmare seems to be taken by him. Mayhaps she is willing to share?” Celestia’s cheeks went pink, then spoke sternly, “ Day!” Her other self held up her hands in surrender, “ What Celly? Don’t tell me that you haven’t felt that pull as well? Your sister feels the same thing whenever he’s in the same room!” Celestia frowned, then her expression went dazed for a moment, imagining what it would be like, causing Daybreaker to snicker as she saw the images of her other self’s thoughts. Hook, line, and sinker. The evil side thought as she waited. Celestia shook herself of her thoughts and glared at Daybreaker playfully. “ I don’t see him as someone to court, Day! I see him as…” Celestia trailed off, her heart almost stopping at the realization. “ As a kid in need of a mother.” Daybreaker finished her sentence, smiling lightly without showing her fangs. Celestia felt a pang of sadness at the word ‘mother’, and remembered that Harry’s mother, Lily Potter nee Evans, died before he got to know her. She didn’t want to feel like a replacement mother for someone who’s already grown up without parents, and relatives who hate his guts. Daybreaker sighed in annoyance at the thoughts running through her other half’s brain and spoke. “ I feel it too. You feel that you should do everything in your power to protect him from danger, even though he’s an adult.” Daybreaker got up to her feet and put a hand gently on Celestia’s transparent shoulder, “ I feel that as well, I can also feel that he can take care of himself, because from what I can glean from your memories, he had a rough life and is stronger because of it.” Daybreaker smiled more genuinely, “ He has a Godson, and is doing a remarkable job of raising him on his own. He might not be part of the family, but I know that he feels grateful that you, Luna, Nightmare, and Teddy are there for him. He already feels that you are a family.” Celestia smiled lightly, her chest warming at the thought of Harry being her son, blood or no blood. “ Do you really think so? That we can all be a family?” A thought then came to her and her sadness returned, “ What about the nobles? Surely they don’t want a ‘commoner’ to be part of the Royal Family?” Daybreaker sighed and replied, “ I say to hell with the nobles, they don’t dictate your actions and choices on who gets to be part of YOUR family…” She then smirked evilly, “ Besides, if they got a problem with it, they get to deal with me and Nightmare.” Celestia imagined a few nobles with pitchforks and torches, only time get burned to ashes or turned to moonstone, which made the Solar Diarch giggle. Then the clock outside the chamber chimed that it was midnight, and Daybreaker felt her control begin to weaken. “ I want to be introduced to Harry soon Celly, or I’ll tell Luna all about your cake collection you keep under the bed in a locked box.” She said, her golden fiery irises twinkling with mischievous mirth. Celestia glared at her other self, a frown on her lips. “ Don’t you dare, Day. Or I’ll tell Nightmare about your dreams of Chrysalis. I don’t even think she can bend that way!” It was the next day, and Harry was sitting on the edge of his bed, stretching his stiff muscles that he barely used while he was on bed rest. He hasn’t seen Teddy since before the dance and attack, which made Harry worried that something bad must’ve happened to his Godson. But he relaxed, knowing that Teddy might be alright, since he saw him and Amethyst walking through the gardens hand in hand with smiles earlier that morning, while he watched from the bedroom window, seemingly affectionate with each other, if the blushes and cuddling were any indicators. Harry smirked, He’s definitely got his mother’s personality. He thought to himself. Then a voice spoke up from the doorway, causing the young man to lift his head. It was Celestia, whose clothing changed from battle armor to a royal ankle-length white dress that hugged her figure quite nicely, with the symbol of the sun on the left breast of the dress, shining proudly in the light. “ Good morning, Harry.” She said, with a soft warm smile that made Harry squirm a little bit. “ Good morning, Your Majesty.” He replied, finished tying his shoe and ran a hand through his messy mane, which made it even messier than taming it. It was a hard habit to break, even if you’re in a different universe… “ Come now, there’s no need for formalities, since your our guest after all.” Then she smirked, her purple eyes gleaming with mischief, “ And the coltfriend of my sister’s other half.” Harry felt his cheeks go red at the kiss that Nightmare Moon so boldly gave him after the attack that night, remembering the feel of her plump lips against his. Unsurprisingly He couldn’t help but feel like kissing Nightmare again, next time he sees her… It’s not every day that the embodiment of Death and a Dark Goddess kisses you and does other things… Where the hell was Death anyway… After shaking those strange thoughts out of his head, Harry felt Celestia sit next to him, her eyes in a thousand-yard stare, clearly thinking about something that is making her fidget slightly. At least, that’s what his Auror eyes told him… Celestia’s hands were slightly twitching, as if she wanted to do something but was holding herself back, and her warm purple eyes were expressing something the need to say something to him, but he couldn’t figure out what. And she looked a bit...Nervous… That can’t be right, Princess Celestia never looked nervous, she was always graceful, even when smiling, she never seemed to express any true emotion unless it was her sister, Nightmare, or himself. So why is she nervous right now?... Harry was about to speak, to ask if there’s anything wrong, but Celestia beat him to the punch, “ Are you doing ok, Harry? Still not sore from the battle, are you?” She said, her tone full of care that reminded the young stallion of Molly Weasley, who went through thick and thin to make sure he was healthy whenever he visited the Burrow, which was built from the ground up, literally. He still loves magic, and it still surprises him on what it could do… Harry smiled, replying, “ Yes, Celestia. I am still a bit sore, but it’s already fading since I got up.” Celestia seemed relieved that he wasn’t hurt, and he had a suspicion, that she really cared for Harry, just like Molly did when he was an underfed eleven-year-old to adulthood. “ Good, good.” She said, smiling that warm smile that makes him wanna squirm in content. Teddy felt the exact thing, but it made him slightly uncomfortable with how warm it is in the room whenever Celestia smiled. He said it was comparing it to a hot summer day… After a few moments of slightly comforting and awkward silence, Harry sighed lightly, then took the plunge. “ What’s wrong? You’re nervous.” He noticed that Celestia looked at him in surprise and smirked, “ I wouldn’t be alive if I couldn’t notice any details, no matter how small or how hidden, I will know.” Then he put a hand on hers, causing a slight shock to go through both of their systems, but he ignored it, his green eyes glowing with concern. Since she and her family were the ones to take care of him and his Godson during the attack, he was willing to return the favor… Celestia felt her chest warm at the contact, and her breath slightly hitches at the look of concern that the stallion was giving her. Then she took a breath and then spoke. “ Do you ever get the feeling, that when you meet the right person, that you can feel like you can protect them, make them feel loved?” Harry blinked, his mind going through the question and broke it down, reading between the lines. Then he nodded, answering himself and her question. “ Do you feel like they can become someone that person looks up to, to idolize?” At this Celestia seemed to be breathy a bit faster, if her flaring nostrils were any indicator, and Harry decided to be blunt in his question. “ Where are you going with this, Celestia?” He asked, slightly confused, yet had a feeling that whatever it is, it was good, and not dangerous. The Solar Diarch got up from her sitting position and paced a bit in front of him, hands behind her back clenching and unclenching. Then she felt Daybreaker speak to her internally. “ Do it. He already has a suspicion of what you want to say to him. Just get it all out.” Nodding, and taking a breath, she turned to Harry. “ I feel like you’re my child. A son that I never knew. I want to make you a part of my family, a family that cares deeply about each other and helps whenever possible. I don’t want to ask this of you if you want to stay independent, doing what you do as well as raising Young Teddy.” She took another breath, and continued with a strong voice, making sure that it didn’t waver or crack in the whirlwind of emotions that were going through her, “ But, will you be a part of the Faust Family?” It was silent, Harry’s eyes were widened to the point of dinner plates, and Celestia’s heart began to hurt at the silence, fearing rejection of the honorable offer. Then… “ Even though it’s sudden, I feel like I could trust you, even when it’s not appropriate, or to turn to you for advice if I need it. I want to truly experience this, to be a part of something that I always envied of when I was a child.” Then he felt his throat grow a lump and began choking out the words, his eyes grew wet with tears. “ I want to be a part of your family. To care, to protect, and to love you all as much as possible.” Celestia’s eyes widened when she saw him begin glowing, an aura of black, green, and grey surrounding him as she listened. Then she remembered what’s going to happen since Cadence, her niece was the same way when the offer was asked all those years ago. “ I accept.” Harry said, a smile growing on his face as the glow became intense. As if speaking an Unbreakable Vow, the glow intensified to the point that it was like looking into the sun, and Celestia shielded her eyes to prevent herself from being blinded. Throughout the castle, Luna, Nightmare, and Teddy felt the surge of magic permeating the city, causing shivers to go down their spines and a look of surprise was felt when Chrysalis felt the same thing, as if a connection was established from someone they were missing for millennia. Celestia stood in front of the glowing orb that surrounded Harry, where he floated with glowing eyes and prayed to herself and to her mother that he could handle the power surge… Author's Note A/N: You guys excited for the next chapter? Don't worry, I got that covered! I apologize for not being more proactive in the stories, but it's become hard to right when you don't have any ideas for the story to progress, but thankfully, I do have a couple, like adopting Harry was a good idea from KukriRyuTsukino, thank you by the way, and another one that might be after the next from raw19. Thank you all so much for the support you all gave me, even though I am a terrible writer, and you guys inspired me to keep writing, so I am. See You all In The Next Chapter, TOODLES!!! Next Up: The Alicorn Of Death Chapter 13: The Alicorn Of DeathChapter 13: The Alicorn Of Death There was no darkness this time, it was a white void. Nothing but white as far as the eye can see… Harry blinked as he felt strength enter his muscles, and noticed that he felt more energetic than he was ever before… “What is this? Where am I?” He asked to himself, his voice echoing throughout the empty void. Then someone spoke behind him, “ You’re in the realm between realms, Mister Potter.” Harry whirled around and saw a unicorn mare standing there, who was wearing a white office suit with a red quill on the left breast of the suit jacket. Her red hair was cut short, and down straight, her stance was relaxed, as if she was waiting for him. But he could see the limitless power hidden behind those warm and caring arctic blue eyes… She is powerful, even more than Luna, Celestia, and Sirius/Discord combined… “ Who are you?” Harry asked, feeling himself tense up in case she was hostile to him. But he had a feeling that the woman wasn’t, there seemed to be an invisible aura that can make everything and everyone around her calm… She also seemed to greet him as a friend, which made him relax slightly. The woman saw the tension leaving the man’s arms and smiled even more. Her power suddenly wrapped around his own, embracing him in a cocoon of sapient magic, it was as if judging him worthy of something, but for the life of him, Harry couldn’t figure out what. After a few silent moments, she spoke, interrupting the silence, “ Hmm… Yes, you shall do…” She murmured to herself, her blue eyes glowing slightly as she eyed him. Harry blinked, as if trying to figure out what she meant, when suddenly, he felt an uncomfortable warmth hit him in the chest, and engulfed him in an inferno of yellow, grey, and black magic, whirling around him like a tornado or hurricane. And he in the eye of the magical storm… Then it began seeping into him as if he was the sponge, and the magic is the water, being absorbed greedily, and the warmth grew into a searing heat that made Harry buckle into a ball, gritting his teeth in pain. Then he began screaming in agony, his back a searing white hot as appendages grew from his spine and ripped through his shirt, unfurling in the sense of newfound freedom. His horn grew a few inches longer than normal, meaning in unicorn terms a larger magical core. And his eyes, god his eyes… His green emerald eyes glowed with power and a black mist seeping from the sockets and his black mane whirled around his head in an invisible wind. Harry’s heart was beating faster and faster with every second as his body did it’s best to absorb the unknown magic and integrate it with his own. It was like that for a full minute, before the pain started to fade, leaving a heaving stallion curling into a ball, and his aching body shaking. The red-haired unicorn only stood and watched, her hands folded behind her back, with her blue eyes looking over him with an emotion that Harry couldn’t identify… “ Hmph, if only you weren’t already taken.” She murmured, catching Harry’s attention by kneeling next to him and lifting up his chin, peering into his eyes as he tried to calm himself down. “ Yes, you would do…” She said, then got back to her feet, and began walking away. That’s when Harry noticed the large pristine white wings folded on the woman’s back. “ Welcome to the family, Harry Potter… Alicorn Of Death…” She announced, a smile on her lips, winking at the stallion’s widening eyes as she faded from view. “W-wait!” Harry shouted at the disappearing Alicorn mare, “ How do I?!-” Then he woke up… Celestia stood outside the cocoon of magic, biting her lip and trying to control her breathing as she paced in front of the area where Harry was situated… Normally an event such as this wouldn’t cause her to panic, in fact, she would’ve welcomed it… But this was different, it never took this long... For 3 hours straight, Harry was floating in the magic, his eyes glowing and back arched as if trying to get the kinks out, arms spread eagle. Then she saw Harry’s head jolt forward, which meant down, and she saw that the stallion’s eyes were glowing brighter with black smoke coming from the sockets. It reminded her of Sombra, except for ultimate evil and the weird obsession he had with dark crystals… ...She never did ask why… The door to the room opened and in came Luna, who was panting slightly from running across the castle nonstop. Chrysalis, Teddy, and Amethyst were there, following behind and outside the doorway, peeking in to see the spectacle that was currently going on… “ Sister, have you felt?...” She stopped speaking as she took notice of the large ball of magic floating behind Celestia, and seeing the silhouette inside, Luna’s eyes widened. “ Tia… Is that young Harry?” Luna spoke, her voice shaking slightly as she stared at the spectacle before her. The Solar Diarch nodded her head, shifting and stretching her back due to walking in a small area for a couple of hours, which was very uncomfortable, I’ll have you know! “ Yes, Lulu, it is Harry Potter. I believe he is becoming an Alicorn, like Princess Cadence all those years ago.” Then she looked over her shoulder to Harry’s floating body, then continued, “ But it shouldn’t have taken this long.” Teddy scrambled to where his Godfather is and felt himself become weak for some reason, and he began wobbling on shaky knees to try and balance himself upright, before he began to fall to the ground. Luna noticed immediately and caught the young boy before he fell to the ground, making herself go to her knees to make herself comfortable as Amethyst ran over to her friend’s side, concerned. That’s when a small strand of magic, yellow in color, shoot out of the orb and phased into Teddy, causing him to gasp as he felt the warmth he always noticed whenever Celestia was around, but it was even more pronounced than before. Celestia and Luna’s eyes widened as they saw another strand shot out and ram full force into Chrysalis’s chest, causing her to go flying and hit the opposite wall, letting out gasps of pain as she fell to a sitting position against the wall, unable to move. That’s when three others slither through the air, being gentle as they went into the Royal Sisters and Amethyst, causing the group to fall unconscious as whatever magic is being absorbed by Harry pulled their consciences into him. Even Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker were pulled along with them, being of the same mind and body as Celestia and Luna. The door to the room slammed shut as Chrysalis was being pulled through the air with gentleness to lay next to Luna. Then a shield was produced around the entire section of the Castle, sealing everyone inside with no way in or out. What is going on?... Author's Note A/N: Hey Y'all! I apologise for the delay on updating my stories, keep in mind that the world seems to go on without you really quick if you aren't paying attention... Life has been hectic for a bit, what with video editing and uploading, work at 1pm to 8pm, being too tired to do anything afterwards, cleaning up the house and yards. It's a real shitshow. Anyways, I will try and get more chapters going, the stories are NOT dead! Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and I will try and begin the next one soon, with a couple of ideas to spring from. Thank you all, and I'll see you guys in the next chapter! TOODLES!!! Chapter 14: Prove Your Worth!Chapter 14: Prove Your Worth! (Warning: There will be movie spoilers featured in this chapter, if you don’t want to read the section of it, skip ahead to the next one, you have been warned!) The decrepit chamber was dark, and very empty despite the large statues that decorate the place. Water flooded a large section of the floor in front of the large statue depicting the head of an aristocratic man, the liquid shining like a light source. Celestia opened her eyes and shot up into a sitting position, muscles aching and feeling slightly groggy, as if she’d just gotten out of bed to raise the sun. That’s when she noticed a familiar face lying next to her, red and gold armor barely covering her parts and chest, chain-mail covering her slim but muscular stomach, small armor plating covering her arms and legs, but showing enough skin to leave almost no imagination. Celestia’s eyes narrowed for a second before widening in recognition at the woman’s face, HER face… “ Daybreaker?” She muttered, confused on how her opposite split from her and formed another body. The Alicorn in question snapped her eyes open, her draconic eyes glowing orange in the darkish chamber. She looked around and saw her ‘lighter’ side staring at her with surprise on her face. “ What in the name of Equestria happened, Celly?” Daybreaker asked, her voice echoing slightly throughout the large chamber as she looked down at herself, almost admiring her form with interest. Celestia blinked and took another look around again, trying to remember if she had seen this chamber before, but came up blank. Then the two Alicorns noticed the redheaded girl lying on the ground in front of the pool of water, a small black book lying next to her limp form. Celestia and Daybreaker looked at each other, then at the small girl, before taking a step forward… That’s when they heard a large door being opened behind the two with a large groan… Luna could barely see through the dark forest, in step next to her split personality, Nightmare Moon, who is looking around with a vigilance that she could barely remember her having. It was almost as if she was protecting her from danger… But that would be silly, wouldn’t it?... Nightmare’s eyes slightly glowed in the dark as her eyesight adjusted to the pitch black darkness of the large forest that reminded the Mare In The Moon of Everfree, where she battled the Elements Of Harmony when she first returned from her banishment in the moon. She could see a lake that glistened in the moonlight, almost a picture of serenity and comfort, if not for the fact of a man that looked familiar to her and Luna lying on the ground in shredded prisoner’s garb. Nightmare and Luna almost ran to the unconscious man and looked him over, recognizing the man immediately as Sirius Black, also known as Discord. Nightmare spoke, interrupting the silence, “ Discord. I swear to Faust that if this is one of your tricks, I’ll…” They suddenly heard fast steps and light panting from behind them and Nightmare whirled around, ready to take on whoever thought they can sneak up on her and her counterpart… That’s when her eyes landed on the skinny, yet VERY recognizable form of Harry Potter, her new coltfriend. Well, not a coltfriend YET... She and Harry needed to talk about said relationship whenever they got the chance... To see where it was going... He looked younger, even in his deep emerald eyes, and they were full of fear and faded anger that made Nightmare shiver with goose-flesh. She never felt THAT before, and her cheeks lit up pink at the familiar feeling of lust… Luna, even though she couldn’t see it, smirked in amusement at the predicament her darker counterpart was in… He moved past Nightmare, almost as if he didn’t even see her and Luna and slid to his knees next to Sirius and tried to get the older man to wake up. That’s when they noticed the temperature dropping and spot the lake bein to become frozen in ice, moving towards them as if alive. Then they looked up, including Harry, and their eyes widened at the sight… Hundreds of floating dark forms permeated the air in front of the group and skeletal hands reaching out towards Harry, who got to his feet, gripping his Holly and Phoenix feather wand. Nightmare and Luna noticed that he seemed to be weakening even more in the presence of these creatures, wincing in pain once in awhile, causing the two Alicorns to look at each other and back at the young man in concern. The large group of Dementors, Nightmare thinks he called them once, flew towards Sirius and Harry with the feel of hunger that made even Luna wince in slight fear at not seeing their faces, only gaping mouths under the hoods. That’s when they noticed the glowing form of a stag walking towards the group of Dementors on the other side of the lake... Chrysalis woke up suddenly in rubble, moaning in pain and grogginess, trying to see where she was… That’s when the queen noticed the familiar forms of Teddy and Queen Amethyst lying next to her, Teddy spooning her with his arms wrapped around the middle and her head carefully snuggling into the crook of his neck, her sharp horn narrowly missing his skull. That’s when Chrysalis noticed something and concern along with motherly instinct shot her up with adrenaline at her senses of danger nearby. They DEFINITELY need to get out of there… She got to her feet and immediately tried to wake the young boy and chibi Changeling queen. “ Teddy. Teddy! Amethyst! Wake up! We’re not safe here!” She hissed, slightly annoyed that her attempts to rouse them from the land of dreams were unsuccessful… She then noticed something in the air, and her nostrils flared the smell of strong Hate mixed in along with Love. Coming from the other side of where she and the two children were in, wherever they were at the moment… She tried to wake the two up with no success and gave up to see what was making her senses crazy… It wasn’t even that far… She peeked her head up, then immediately ducked at a green light coming her way, hitting the rubble with fierce power that it broke a few chunks of stone and dirt. Then after a few seconds of waiting, Chrysalis lifted her head over the mound again, ready to duck down again… But it wasn’t needed… Because the one who cast the spell was busy fending off another… Chrysalis’s eyes widened at the familiar sight of the man who looked young, but smelled older than that, his round glasses slightly cracked and dirty, his clothing ripped in places along with a couple of deep cuts and bruises that made the Changeling queen wince in sympathy. It was Harry Potter! The seventeen year old man was holding his Holly and Phoenix feather wand in front of his face, arms shaking as he was in a power struggle with the one known as Tom Marvolo Riddle, A.K.A Lord Voldemort. The Pale figure in billowing black robes gritted his teeth as the Elder Wand belted out the Killing Curse at full power, he could feel that the wand’s loyalty belonged to him... But he felt that it was not exactly loyal to HIM… The wand chooses the wizard, and this wand chose Harry James Potter, The Boy Who Lived, Master Of Death... When he felt his last Horcrux get destroyed, Voldemort stumbled, and the spells canceled out. Chrysalis watched with awe as Harry’s eyes seemed to glow an even more deep emerald, and she felt his power spread out through the entire area. Harry glared at the panting form of Voldemort, happy that his scar isn’t hurting in the man’s, no, not a man, the MONSTER’S presence anymore, thanks to the Horcrux in his scar being destroyed… Voldemort’s scarlet eyes locked onto him, and Harry noticed the familiar sight of fear in those orbs of insanity and megalomania… Then he raised the Elder Wand, aiming in his direction, and Harry tensed, ready for another fight… The power struggle began once more, the beams of red and green fought against each other, but Harry was winning, when the orb of magic streamlined back at Voldemort, mixing the Expelliarmus and Avada Kedavra together in a big orb of fatal and deadly magic. Chrysalis watched as he sent a disarming charm at the pale snake-like man and the familiar sight of the Elder Wand was sent out of Voldemort’s hand and flew into Harry’s. Then everything faded to black... Back in the Chamber of Secrets, Celestia and Daybreaker watched in horror as the twelve year old form of Harry Potter run around the Chamber, dodging the sixty foot Basilisk as it tried to bite him after a Phoenix clawed and pecked its eyes out. After a few close calls, Harry ended up on the large statue head with a silver gleaming sword, aimed at the roof of the Basilisk’s mouth… Celestia and Daybreaker felt immediate concern at the expression of severe pain on Harry’s face as he stabbed the large snake’s brain with the sword. The giant snake writhed in a death throe, screeching in agony that made the two Alicorns almost want to clamp their hands over their ears. Harry sluggishly made his way down to the floor by climbing the statue head of Salazar Slytherin and fell to the ground next to the red-headed girl, who was even more pale than a few minutes ago. The two noticed an older boy speaking to Harry, and felt the aura of said boy… It was pure darkness, familiar to Sombra… Then Harry seemed to get an idea after the boy said, “ Funny what a silly little book can do.” He opened the book and gripped the broken Basilisk fang from his arm, gritting his teeth in agony as Harry raised the fang in a dagger like fashion, ready to stab it… “ What are you doing?” Then Tom Riddle’s eyes widened at what his nemesis was gonna do, “STOP, NO!” He yelled as he shot forward to try and stop the boy from stabbing his diary.… Then the fang came down and stabbed into the book, black ink with the density of blood squirted from the pages, and a glowing crack formed in Tom’s torso, an expression of pain on the older boy’s face almost mirroring that of Harry’s. Harry saw what he needed to do, and stabbed the diary a couple times, before closing the book and stabbing the ink stained fang deep into the cover, making more cracks along Tom’s body as he did so, crying out in pain. Then the memory of Voldemort blew apart in a flash of light, disappearing into oblivion… That’s when Celestia and Daybreaker’s vision went dark… Nightmare Moon and Luna watched as the glowing stag sent out a bright pulse in the form of a half bubble, spreading out over the lake and the Dementors were pushed away with shrieks of pain, almost like the time when the Changelings tried to invade Canterlot during Cadance and Shining Armor’s wedding. Then the stag’s form faded, and the light that it was producing dimmed to nothing… It took a bit to readjust to the sudden darkness, and when they did, the two Alicorns were shocked and confused to say the least. Luna and Nightmare noticed the familiar form of the boy now lying on the ground behind them. A slightly older Harry Potter stared at his few hours younger self from across the lake, panting at the amount of magic he used to conjure his Patronus. Then everything went dark for Nightmare Moon and Luna… The Dursley household if #4 Privet Drive was empty, quiet of its occupants. Eleven year old Harry Potter sat in his cupboard, thinking of the decision he made when he accepted Princess Celestia’s offer of joining her family… It doesn’t make sense, she doesn’t even know me! He thought as he listened to the quiet skittering of the spiders that occupied his cupboard. Then… Why did I accept? Is that small miniscule part of me still living in hope for a loving family, no matter the age? Harry contemplated, leaning back against the cupboard wall. His musings were interrupted by a loud BANG, and the sound of seven bodies hit the carpeted floor of the Dursley’s living room. He listened closely as voices of familiar people filled the silent house. " Tia? Daybreaker?! What in the name of…” said one. " Chrysalis, Nightmare where art we?” Said another. " I got no idea. But it seems Harry has made a mental construct of a house. But… where is he?” Said a very familiar voice that made Harry’s heart pound with longing. He fought the urge to come barreling out of the small cupboard and into her arms, but refrained himself. I think I know who they are now… He thought as he kept quiet, wanting the Ponies to figure things out. He heard the telltale sound of metal hooves moving across the wooden floor of the front entrance hallway, just outside the small door. He heard Luna call out to the others, “Tia, come hither!” She shouted. The sound of feet congregated behind the door of Harry’s cupboard, and he straightened his back as much as possible, his teeth gritting at the event that was to come… He heard Luna whisper, " Tia… There are locks on the door… Do thou think…?” She asked, a dawning realization of horror in her voice, made Harry want to grimace. " I… I guess we’re about to find out Lulu…” said Celestia, her motherly voice replaced with trepidation that he didn’t want to hear again. Harry heard the clicks of the locks unlatching and took a deep breath, preparing… The door opened and the fear of Uncle Vernon grabbing him by his hair and throwing him out for a beating came back tenfold, causing him to hyperventilate. " There’s somepony in there!” Said Amethyst. “Quick, open the door!” Said Chrysalis, who had a tinge of concern in her voice. The door swing wide open and light filled the small space… Harry shut his eyes, trying to calm his small beating heart when he heard a gasp of horror from the Ponies in front of him. Here we go… He thought as he heard Celestia’s voice call out to him softly... “Ha--Harry?” Said Celestia, watched the small figure hunched into a ball against the back of the Cupboard Under The Stairs, look up at her in tired resignation. His emerald green eyes may be younger by a decade, but they still had the same aura of power and Death swirling inside. Celestia felt a tear slide down her cheek at the sight of an eleven year old Harry Potter wearing clothes that were 3 sizes too big with broken taped up glasses with the same design as his current ones, and the small mattress he was sitting on… Her slight shock became a blaze of rage… Nightmare, Luna and Chrysalis began backing up as the temperature in the area began to rise to 200 degrees. Celestia’s eyes flashed white and a small snarl on her lips, opened her mouth to yell… But her eyes landed on Harry, who flinched involuntarily, his years of being raised by the caring Dursley’s programming kicking in as he saw the anger pouring off the Solar Diarch. Celestia’s eyes returned to their gentle magenta, wet with unshed tears as lowered herself down to Harry’s level, squatting at the doorway. Harry watched with suspicious and frightened eyes at her that made her heart sting, feeling that she may have caused him to be fearful of her. Then a knock came at the door of the house, catching the attention of Celestia and the others…. Through the small glass window of the door, there was a silhouette of a man outside, who kept knocking 3 times per 6 second intervals. Luna walked over to the door as quietly as she possibly could when Celestia tilted her head in its direction with a mental conversation, until the door opened and standing there... ...Was another Harry Potter, though this one looked like he had been through war... Author's Note A/N: Hey Guys! WhalenJP Here! I apologize for not posting another chapter for the story, I had a bit of Life issues along with Writer's Block, which is NOT fun! Anyways, hope you like what's coming next! The question is: Why is there another Harry Potter? The answer will be in next chapter! Until Then, TOODLES! Chapter 15: Conversations With YourselfChapter 15: Conversations With Yourself… Harry Potter, the seventeen year old, stared at all of them with jaded emerald eyes, eyes that Celestia and the others were familiar with, not like the doe shaped innocence that was Harry Potter, the eleven year old. He stared at his older self with awe and slight fear of the power that surrounded him, making him hide slightly behind Nightmare Moon’s armor covered leg, causing her to look down at him with surprise in her eyes. It was silent, the house creaked a little bit, but the only sound that disturbed the silence was everypony’s breathing… Harry, Older Harry, smiled at them, “ Well, glad to say that I found you.” He said as he casually walked into the house, shutting it behind him. Celestia watched as Older Harry spotted Little Harry, and tilted his head with a smile, that familiar smile that made the room bright up like her did. “ Now, I think it’s safe to say we need to talk.” Older Harry said, walking past them all, except to give Nightmare and Teddy a hug, causing the Night Queen to blush and Teddy to grin respectively. The group silently followed him into the living room where they all arrived in, and sat down in the squashy armchair. Little Harry panicked at this, “ Don’t! That’s Uncle Vernon’s chair! If he catches you sitting in it, he’ll kill me!” He blurted out, before realising he said this in front of strangers. The Alicorns, Changeling Queens and Teddy looked at both Harry’s in realised horror. The Cupboard was obvious that Harry didn’t have a good home life, but to the extent of simply sitting down in a chair, and fearing that you’ll get beaten for that? Chrysalis felt sick at the fear irradiating from Little Harry, Celestia and Daybreaker felt their Solar Magic swell within them in rage, Nightmare and Luna felt horrified, and Teddy was shocked to his core that his Godfather was an abused child. The air in the room was thick with tension, and it was quiet for a few moments as everypony got their wits together, albeit slowly… Older Harry smirked, before rubbing his butt against the seat cushion, crossing his legs and arms as he looked around in an obvious way to spot Vernon Dursley. After a few seconds, he smugly smiled and held out both arms to his sides, saying the universal gesture, ‘ You Were Saying?’ Little Harry kept frantically looking around the living room, which made Older Harry sigh in slight irritation. Good God, was I THAT frightful when I was this young? He thought before taking out the Elder Wand and waved it. Little Harry suddenly felt relaxed and calm, before taking a seat at the ugly looking flower patched couch. Eyebrow raised, Celestia looked as Older Harry rubbed the bridge of his nose in slight irritation at something. Then she gracefully sat down on the same couch, next to Little Harry, who had a small blush on his cheeks, and not because of the heat either. Snickering at this, Luna took Harry’s other side, and scooted a little closer to Harry, making his face look like a ripe tomato… Older Harry watched himself with amusement, chuckling lightly at the scene before him. Nightmare Moon sat down in a similar chair across from Older Harry, hands on her lap in a dignified pose with a faux haughty expression on her face. Both Harry’s snorted, which made the noble mask crack, and then the three began chuckling/giggling. Chrysalis was about to sit down on the carpet with Teddy and Amethyst, but Older Harry, who stopped chuckling for a few moments, held up a hand to stop them, “ Allow Me.” He said, before waving the Elder Wand. A black velvet couch big enough for 3 appeared out of thin air; replacing the uglier one in its place... Which made the group, including Little Harry, to gape at it for a few seconds, which caused Older Harry to smirk in satisfaction at his work. After a few seconds, Celestia shook her head to snap out of her daze and turned her attention to Older Harry. “ How did you find us? Also, who are you?” She said, suspicion in her tone suggests that this was an interrogation. Older Harry raised an eyebrow before leaning back in the recliner, his feet resting as he answered, “ To be honest… I am him.” He pointed to Little Harry, who blinked at the finger in his direction. “ Yet at the same time, I am Harry that is in the present.” The Older Harry tapped a finger to his chin in thought before continuing, “Think of it like time travel, but more mental and metaphysical at the same time. There are no paradoxes here and whatever happened when I accepted your proposal, Celestia, showed you my memories of my past, my most CRUCIAL memories of when I was in danger.” Celestia stayed silent, trying to think about what she and Daybreaker saw in the Chamber Of Secrets. Luna piped in, snuggling Little Harry tighter against her side, which caused him to shift uncomfortably at the closeness of the Alicorn. “ Maybe tis the magic of Harmony judging you on how your worth to be an Alicorn?” After a few seconds of everyone staring at her, she continued with a smile, “ It is possible that thou would do fantastic deeds before you arrived here in our world that made Harmony herself show us of your achievements.” Nightmare looked thoughtful for a second before speaking, “ Like the Hundred floating creatures above the lake at your school while defending Discord from dying.” She said, grabbing Older and Little Harry’s attention. “ And don’t forget the fact that killing a thousand year old Basilisk with only a sword and sheer luck is a great achievement.” Daybreaker said, making Older and Little Harry’s attention turn to her, which made her uncomfortable for some reason. “ Hello… I’m Daybreaker, Celestia’s Dark Side.” She introduced with a fangfilled smile while holding out her hand for a shake. Older Harry didn’t seem fazed at all when she did so, Little Harry flinched though, which made Daybreaker stop grinning and smile normally with a pang in her heart at the fear of the eleven year old child Celestia thought about so often. Older Harry held out his hand as well and shook Daybreaker’s hand normally, not with a petrifying slowness or the speedy quick with the stench of fear, it was normal. Daybreaker blinked before gazing down at Older Harry since she preferred to stand instead of sitting down. She whispered, slight awe filling her voice, “ How are you not afraid of me, Mr. Potter?” She asked. Older Harry’s emerald eyes dimmed a little bit, which made Chrysalis, Teddy, and Celestia wince at the Thousand Yard Stare of War. After a few seconds, Older Harry’s eyes glowed slightly again, which made Teddy sigh in quiet relief. “ I got a question.” Everyone and Everypony’s attention turned to Chrysalis, who froze slightly at the attention on her for a second before relaxing. “ Who was that pale man you were fighting with? The one with red eyes and no snout?” She asked, almost regretting that question a second later. Older Harry stiffened before his hands clenched into fists, his eyes closed tight and the nearby chinaware vibrated off the coffee table and break into thousands of pieces. After taking a couple of breaths to steady his magic, he opened his eyes once again. “ His name… is Voldemort…” He answered, before launching into a small explanation on who Voldemort was before becoming the most Feared Dark Lord in history. After the small history lesson was over, Older Harry felt tired, as if Tom Riddle was sucking on his magic and life again like the unintended Horcrux from the night when his parents died. “Anyways, that’s not what we’re here for.” He got up from the chair and stood in front of the group like a teacher in a classroom full of students. Celestia and Luna’s eyes widened slightly at the slight similarity of Harry and Starswirl the Bearded, right down to the at ease stance he seemed to take… “ We are here to make a choice… Whether or not I am worthy of becoming a being of great power and responsibility.” He looked at everypony in the eyes, a calmness and determination shining that made Nightmare shiver with excitement. “ To be perfectly honest… I don’t think I want that power. But since Harmony and Faust herself have done this anyway, I think I don’t have a choice in the matter.” He said, rolling his eyes at the spirit of Fate laughing at him again. Little Harry grimaced, saying, “ Why not? It’s your freewill!” He crossed his arms, glaring at his older self. Older Harry smiled and kneeled down in front of his younger self. Even though he’s a figment inside my own head, he does know me pretty well. Harry thought to himself as he replied with a gentle warm tone. “ Because, life just wants to throw a curveball at you with or without your consent to make things happen.” He looked at Celestia, Luna, Nightmare, Chrysalis, Teddy, and Amethyst, who looked back at him with varying degrees of heartwarming smiles. “ We might like or not like the changes that come with those curveballs, but some things will change for the better. If things go from bad to worse, that means Fate just wants someone to be entertained by.” He said this with a mischievous smirk. After contemplating for a few moments, Little Harry nodded his head, smiled and disappeared into a ball of light, which floated for a couple of seconds, before sinking into Harry’s chest, being absorbed back into his soul. Harry took a breath before getting to his feet. Celestia was the first to move, by getting up off the couch and giving the younger immortal a hug that most would be reminded of their own mother’s. “ You’ll never have to fear of change. Nor of being abandoned whenever somepony disagrees with your views. I think it’s the exact thing Equestria needs.” She whispered into his ear. Harry hugged the Alicorn back, a couple of tears going down his cheeks. “ Thank you… Mother.” He whispered back. Just hearing that word made Celestia’s heart melt and she smiled with tears on her cheeks. Harry and Celestia pulled out of the hug, only for Harry to be almost tackled by Nightmare, whose hug felt like it would at least break a few of his ribs, but they didn’t, thankfully. “ I am so sorry, Harry…” She sobbed out, her facade of the cold Night Queen gone in a matter of moments. Harry, although hugging his possibly future girlfriend--MAREfriend, is confused. “ What are you sorry for?” He asked, pulling back from the hug and looking into Nightmare’s turquoise dragon eyes. Nightmare’s breathing was shaky as she continued, her uncontrollable tears coming under control. “ For getting you into a relationship with… with a monster like me.” Her voice cracked at the end, which made Harry’s heart clench. Luna felt her eyes widen, and her heart went out to her counterpart that was like another sister to her… She knew what the fear of rejection was like, to be viewed as a monster in the eyes of those she loved. It makes sense that Nightmare has her issues with such relationships… Harry stared at her for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, his emerald green eyes glowed slightly more as he did so, making them a captivating sight to Nightmare. “ You idiot.” He said, his normally gentle face was stern and determined, which made Nightmare stare at him in shock at the slight frustration in his voice. It made the others reel back a tiny bit as well… Even Teddy, who never heard such an intense tone in his Godfather’s voice before… “ It’s not you who should be sorry.” He pressed his head against hers, Nightmare’s form shrinking down to almost his height, except half a head taller than him, staring into her shiny watery eyes, which stared at him in fear of rejection, afraid that she might lose the only person that came close to understanding her besides Luna. " It’s the people that called you such things that shall be sorry. You are NOT a monster. Nor a freak. You are a beautiful and brilliant mare whose been dealt a bad hand in life, and was misunderstood.” Nightmare’s cheeks began to grow pink at his compliments, despite the drowning emotion of depression overcoming her… His face became gentle once more, a glint of an emotion in his eyes showed itself to her… Self regret… Harry did remember Ginny and Death, like the forgetful git that he was, whose possibly waiting for him back home, and possibly watching him respectively, judging him for not being loyal to them. Even though Death was a spur of the moment, Harry knew Ginny since he saved her in second year down in the Chamber Of Secrets. Ever since then she was pining over him, but she had gotten better and more affectionate, even ignoring the Boy-Who-Lived moniker that followed him around all of his young life. Then he decided, Screw It. If they watch, they watch. There’s no going back, Death told me so herself before I woke up in this world. He thought to himself as he took a deep breath. But if there ever was a way back, I’d bring Ginny and my friends here, I’m not going back to a world that one day idolizes me, then turn their backs on me the next… He cupped the Alicorn’s cheek, thinking for a moment, before leaning his head in and pressed his lips against hers. Nightmare’s eyes widened before closing shut after a few moments and began leaning back into the kiss, her arms wrapped around his neck, a muffled moan in her throat. There was a bright light that emanated from Harry’s body, blinding everyone in the room... Author's Note A/N: I'm SO SO SO Sorry About Not Posting Much In Awhile! Life got in the way, and I've been feeling bummed out about writing and the YouTube political B.S. that is going on these days. Chapter 16: When Everything Begins...Chapter 16: When Everything Begins… The orb that surrounded Harry Potter pulsed and throbbed with power; tendrils of light spreading from it and connecting to the Alicorn Sisters, two Changeling Queens, and a young colt. Then they all receded back into itself, the orb pulsing at a quicker pace… Celestia and Luna woke up first, rubbing their temples with their hands to get rid of the headache; before freezing at the orb as it began to collapse inwards, shrinking in on itself. Celestia felt a small burst of panic enter her at the thought of the only closest thing she had to a son being taken away… Daybreaker felt the same and tried to get her host/sister to where the orb was... The Alicorn tried to lunge towards the shrinking orb, only for Luna to grab her and hold her back. “ Hold...on, Tia!... Will...you...wait?!” Luna asked, a mixture of Nightmare’s voice being implemented as they both used their strength to hold their sister back. The struggling Solar Diarch slowed to a halt, her magenta eyes tearing up at the smaller orb hovering in front of the waking group. “ Dad… no...” Whispered Teddy. He watched with tears in his eyes, Amethyst rubbed his back and pulling the colt into a comforting hug, her eyes dim. Even though the Queen didn’t know Harry all that much; the emotions that Teddy showed for him was that of a family, someone to look up to… A hero… That’s when the orb shattered, leaving a bright light to fill the room, causing everypony to cover their eyes as to not get blinded… Then the light dimmed down to a bearable level, making the ponies lower their hands and stare at the sight before them in shock. Floating a few inches off the ground, his arms spread slightly; was Harry… His green eyes were glowing bright with power, his horn elongated a few inches more than before the lightshow happened. Celestia had a feeling, a hunch that Daybreaker shared as the young stallion’s feet landed on the floor. Could it be… She thought in her head, her eyes softening as she walked closer to him. Luna and Nightmare let their sister go, feeling as if they should let this happen… Harry blinked his eyes, the emerald glow fading and winking out of existence as he held his hand to his temple, wincing at the migraine that formed from whatever happened. “ Ow… That’s gonna be felt in the morning, I’ll tell you lot that.” He said, his tone joking and pained. The room chuckled lightly, the tension in the air receding to comfortable levels once they all saw that the stallion was alright. Celestia stopped a couple feet away from Harry, their eyes making contact with each other; their auras showing in the real world; mixing and introducing themselves to the other… One full of magic and Death, the other full of life, the sun, and a mother’s love… Harry smiled, his eyes lighting up as he broke the silence. Hey...Mum…” He said, feeling a weird flutter in his chest as he said the unfamiliar term. Celestia felt her heart warm at the term she was called by the young stallion standing in front of her, causing her eyes to water. Harry’s eyes widened at the sight of the Solar Diarch crying, thinking he did something wrong… Oh Bollocks. Was the stallion’s thought, before he got wrapped up in a tight hug by the older Alicorn. The mare in question shut her eyes as tears slid down her cheeks, a feeling of longing panging through her body as she felt her heart scarred with a millennia of trauma begin to finally heal. Daybreaker smiled reassuringly inside the Alicorn’s head, whispering comforting things and encouragement to her sister. The other occupants watched with uncomfortable expressions as they saw the normally composed and smiling Celestia cry her heart out… Luna felt her lips quiver and took a small calming breath, her emotions mixed with Nightmare’s were running rampant at the sight. Nightmare felt her love for Harry grow as she watched from Luna’s eyes, seeing the sight of him calming her once arch-enemy. Harry’s arms wrapped around Celestia’s torso, careful to avoid the Alicorn’s large wings that were folded on her back. He felt his eyes close at the feeling of safety surrounding him along with familial love that he felt only with the Weasley family and Hermione. It was quiet for a tiny bit as they relaxed in the embrace; before Harry’s back began to suddenly itch, causing him to flinch at the interruption of the moment… He hesitantly pulled back from Celestia’s embrace and reached behind to scratch the bothersome sensation… Celestia watched as Harry reached behind himself before her eyes widened at the sight of the large raven black wings that sprouted out of nowhere. Harry blinked at feeling muscles he was sure that weren’t there before; then saw his… mother’s eyes were wide at whatever was behind him. “ What?” He asked, confused at why everyone was looking at him with shock, before turning his head to look at what the cause of the emotion was… Then his green eyes widened as he joined the staring. The wings were long, as long as Princess Celestia’s that were raven black with red and gold primary feathers edging the tips of the new feathery appendages. He experimentally closed the wings, imagining a hand clenched into a fist; then saw the wings fold back against his spine, a sense of heaviness settling onto his back. “ How…” he muttered, still slightly flabbergasted at how he had wings, along with a longer horn that he never used. He always had the Elder Wand within his arm holster as well as his original Holly wand in the left one as a backup… Maybe one day… He thought to himself as he turned towards the slack jawed group. “ Hehe… Surprise?” He said, a sheepish grin on his face. *Meanwhile elsewhere* Death watched the events of Harry’s adventure through a crystal mirror; a smile on her face as she thought back to when they first met at the end of the Second Wizarding War… “ I was always proud of ou for defying Voldemort when you were naught but a babe, then again when you were young and the final time as an adult. But now…” She said. Then Her smile became one of a grin, her eyes lighting up the dark room in an eerie glow of her magic reacting to the emotions she was experiencing. Death stood from her throne of bones and banished the mirror to places unknown, humming a tune called ‘ Funeral’s March’ under her nonexistent breath. “ But now, I can finally call you someone I’ve waited a long time for… My Master…” She finished, laughing. Then she reached a hand up next to her head and snapped her fingers, shrouding the room into darkness… “ You were always worthy of the title, and perhaps the perks it comes with, since you are humble and know not to abuse that power I have gifted you; You are SO much better than the others.” Death said as she vanished from her realm. THE END Author's Note A/N: First off... Before you say anything that's like ' This chapter is too short, make it longer!' or ' Where the hell have you been?!' I've been busy to the second question. As for the first... I've been burnt out of writing this story, so I decided to make a short last chapter, because even with the great suggestion for the next few chapters, I couldn't put them into words; especially not with the small amount of time I have these days of writing, making and editing videos, and going to work for a few hours. If you guys and gals want to continue this story, lemme know in the comments and I'll respond. Just make sure you give me credit for the idea, and I want to see how all of you can make it better. Now on that note, everything's getting stressful what with COPPA invading YouTube and work causing me to have murderous intentions, I think I'm gonna take a break from writing other stories for a tiny bit; get my flow and rhythm back, ya know? Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed this rushed journey of Harry Potter, and I'll see you all next time. TOODLES!!!~ PrologueHarry James Potter was bored. He rarely ever got bored… It’s been a rather normal day, a decade ever since the end of the Second Wizarding War, when he killed Tom Marvolo Riddle alias Voldemort, his life seemed to look up at that point… Got a wife named Ginny Weasley… His two best friends Hermione and Ron, married to each other… Becoming a Godfather to his father’s best friend son by Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks who died in the Final Battle named Teddy… This was the life… So why did young Harry feel bored? Is it because of no one trying to kill him anymore? Is it the Wizarding World that became a flock of sheep and him their shephard? Is it the thrumming power of the Hallows? Yes, my dear readers, you know the most important part of the story… ...The Deathly Hallows… Three legendary and powerful artifacts created by Death Herself by request of three brothers that crossed a deadly river by building a bridge with their magic. The Elder Wand... The Invisibility Cloak… The Resurrection Stone… Bring them together and you become The Master Of Death… Poor unfortunate Harry was at the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing. He became Immortal, Undying… Bored… He didn't even know he was Immortal... Until... Harry one day went on a walk through Diagon Alley to pick up some errands, when one of the former Death Eaters from the War killed him by yelling, “ Avada Kedavra!” Harry heard the familiar words of the Killing Curse just as it struck his back. A few hours later, he woke up in a open coffin, surrounded by friends and family, who were weeping over him for his untimely death. Harry, sorta confused, spoke, his voice raspy, “ What the bloody hell happened?” Those that were around him gasped and a couple of them screamed, making him shoot up into a sitting position in concern. “ What, what?! Who’s trying to kill who?! I’ll kill them first!” He gripped the Elder Wand in his fingers, poised to start defending himself and those that were close to him. “ Harry?!” said Hermione Granger, his brilliant Muggleborn friend, stared at him in open mouthed shock. “ Hermione? What happened? Why’s everyone so sad? Why am I in a coffin?” Harry, still looking around for a potential threat, spouted his questions left and right, searching for danger. “Harry… You were dead, mate!” Ronald Weasley bluntly said to him, his eyes wide. Harry blinked, shock filling his system at the words ‘Harry’ and the word ‘Dead’ in the same sentence, which shouldn’t be possible. “ I was what?...” Harry trailed off as he thought back to his moments before his sudden blackout. I was going to grab errands for me and Teddy, heard the Killing Curse being fired by a random bypasser, getting---... Harry’s eyes widened and he whispered, “ I was dead…” Then as if those three magic words, Get It Magic, were said by him, the area around him glowed bright, and his friends and family covered their eyes to prevent themselves being blind by the light. Teddy Lupin, Harry’s Godson, yelled “ DAD!!!” Then with a bang, Harry and Teddy disappeared, leaving everyone there shocked at what occurred… “ What the bloody hell was that?!” Ron yelled out, shocked out of his mind. Hermione didn’t Gibb Slap him in the back of the head for his cussing this time, because for once, she agreed with him… Author's Note The Prologue Is DONE! I am making this story because of a thought I had. What if Harry, as the Master Of Death, went to Equestria and journey to become an Alicorn Of Death? This story will have romance in it and I will leave it up to whoever gets it right in the first comment on who Harry is gonna make love with! hehe... Next Up: Chapter 01!!! Chapter 02: The Unicorn With The Lightning ScarChapter 02: The Unicorn With The Lightning Scar… Twilight Sparkle, a powerful yet bookworm lavender unicorn, personal protégé of Princess Celestia, was bored. She was wearing her normal attire of a purple skirt, a lavender blouse and red necktie tucked into her light blue vest, she was also wearing black ankle boots that her brother Spike got for her birthday a few months back. Anyways… Ever since the beginning of when she first got into Ponyville, there was a great many days when Monsters, Power Hungry Ponies, even the God of Chaos, attacked the quaint little town every other day. She SHOULDN’T be bored… Yet today was a normingly Boring day, and Twilight is spending it in her home, the Golden Oaks Library, which was a library inside a large tree… And it was bigger on the inside as well… She was sitting on her favorite reading couch, her muzzle in a book that had a strange symbol on it that signified something important. She spotted the book from when she first moved in a couple years ago, and still couldn’t figure out what the written language is called! Yet, she’ll figure it out… ...Eventually... Suddenly the front door knocked, and Twilight groaned, Isn’t this a public library? I know it’s my home and all and they’re trying to be polite, but this is getting ridiculous! She thought as she called out, “ It’s open!” She was just about to turn back to the large book, when the door opened to a young stallion with a deathly grey coat and scruffy black mane that went down to his ears. His tail was the same but a little shorter above the ground. He was wearing a fancy dress attire that caught Twilight’s attention. He was wearing a fancy green dress shirt buttoned all the way up and a pair of old fashioned slacks with pinstripes, he also had a black vest with a lightning bolt cutie mark on his left breast, like her five point star cutie mark. Twilight caught his emerald green eyes and saw pain, regret, death, and seem to be a little older than the rest of his body. That is not counting the fact that his height seemed to be about the size of an adolescent colt, which was a slight cause for concern. “ Hello, welcome to Golden Oaks Library! What can I do for you today?” Twilight greeted. The stallion looked around for a moment, before locking onto her and replying, a Trottingham accent in his voice, “ Hello. I am just… Passing through. Not sure what I’m looking for yet when I came here.” Twilight noted the slight hesitation in his voice, and made a mental note to see if there were any records of him. He looked a bit familiar to her for some reason… Shaking away her musings internally, she got up from her couch, putting the book down onto where she sat a moment ago, not noticing his green eyes locking onto the cover with recognition. She walked over to the stallion and held out her hand for a shake, “ Hi! My name is Twilight Sparkle, I’m the Head Librarian of the place.” The stallions lips grew into a slightly crooked and rogue grin that sent shivers down her spine. “ I’m Harry… Harry Trotter. Pleasure to meet you, Miss Sparkle.” He grabbed her hand and pecked it gently, causing Twilight to blush a little. What a gentle stallion. She thought as they dropped their hands to their sides. Harry looked around the library, before landing his eyes on the book Twilight was reading, where it was located on the couch and asked, “ I’m sorry, but I can’t help but ask what you were reading? I feel like I should know that symbol.” Technically that wasn’t a lie on Harry’s part, he does recognise the symbol of the Hallows after all… Twilight blinked for a second, snapping out of her slight daze and looked back onto the couch where the book she tried to translate was sitting before shrugging, “ It was here before I moved in two years ago. I asked if anypony recognised the book, but they said they don’t, I even tried reading it myself. It is still indecipherable.” She replied as she used her magic to levitate the large tome of a book towards them. She didn’t notice the look Harry gave her as she used her magic; one of curiosity… She handed the large book to Harry, and he plucked it gently from her aura and into his hands, staring at the cover with concentration. “ I’m a little curious as to how it got here in the first place.” Twilight said, noticing the intensity of Harry’s gaze that was on the book. The stallion’s eyes locked on with hers and smiled grimly, opening the book as he answered, taking in the familiar written language. “ This is the book on The Deathly Hallows.” Twilight blinked, slightly stunned at having this random stranger knowing the book just by a glance. Then she noticed something that she overlooked, pinned on his lapel above the lightning bolt cutie mark... It was the same symbol on the book, a line inside a circle surrounded by a triangle. Is this a cult thing? Twilight thought to herself as she saw that Harry was immersed in the tome, reading the words left to right and turning a page every 30 seconds, reading the pages, turning the page, and repeat. If it is, I need to warn the Princesses. She was going to do just that, beginning to move back up the staircase behind her that would lead to her upper floor where her quill and parchment is at in her room; when Harry pulled out a smooth stick of dark wood with knobs in it, and pointed it at her. Despite her curiosity, Twilight froze, her muscles tense and caught in a position of sneakiness, her left foot just above the ground. It would’ve been amusing if she wasn’t so afraid. Harry spoke, his tone cold and a bit of something else that Twilight could identify as anger. “ I have one question for you, Miss Sparkle.” His head lifted and his eyes met hers, and Twilight flinched at the whirling flames in those shining emerald orbs. She gulped, answering around the knot in her throat, “ Yes, Mr. Trotter?” There was a slight gleam of amusement at the way Twilight’s voice squeaked, but Harry grew serious once again, his eyes turning into ones that she only saw in Princess Celestia’s eyes; Regret, Age, and War. “ Where the bloody hell is my Godson?” Author's Note FINALLY!!! I can work on this story!!! I apologize for the delays of updating my stories, but I had a severe case of writer's block, but now I'm back in it, ready with a couple new ideas to progress, but suggestions are welcome after the next chapter is done! I hope you all enjoyed it, I will try and tone down the dirtiness in it like the last chapter. See you all in the next Chapter, TOODLES!!! A/N: Writer's Block Strikes Again!So... You may be wondering why I haven’t updated my stories in a while, huh? Well... I have Writer’s Block! It’s hard on what to write for the next chapter, because I didn’t think that this story would get so many positive reviews. There are of course critics, but they don’t matter much since I fix my mistakes when they’re pointed out... Any suggestions on Celestia questioning Harry after he wakes up? Lemme know so I can get the flow going again! Anyways, It’s been stressful since I am a YouTuber, and editing and uploading is difficult these days due to burnout and making songs, and going to work outside of YouTube, it’s just a bucking MESS... But that won’t stop me, eh? Hope to see you all eventually, while you’re at it, go check out WhalenJPOnline, and also check out Harry Potter: The Chaotic Wizard, as well as my first story: The Metal Armed Vigilante! TOODLES!!!
Chapter 01: Greetings Master...Chapter 01: Greetings Master, I’m Death… Harry groaned as he opened his eyes, rubbing his hands to try and get the dizziness away and the blurriness to subside so he could see where the hell he was. “...Ouch…” He said as he slowly sat up, looking around the dusty decaying room. “ Where the hell am I?” He said, looking at the large golden throne with a blue type alloy made throne next to it. “ I believe I can answer your question, Master?” said a woman’s voice behind him. Harry whirled around, grabbing the Elder Wand and aimed it at whoever spoke to him, but stopped. He stared… In front of him was a woman, a beautiful woman who looked twenty years old and wearing scantily clad robes, slightly see through and leaving no room for the imagination that she was wearing nothing underneath. Her black hair looked like it was floating around her head, as if being in an unforeseen breeze on a rather windy day. The woman smiled, her pink lips quirking upwards a little bit as her black as coal eyes took him in. “ I expected an arrogant man that would’ve become my Master, but you Young Man, are SO much better.” She said, swaying her hips as she made her way over to The Boy Who Lived. Harry started taking a couple steps back, but realised his back was hitting stone, meaning he hit a wall. The woman giggled, making the air seem colder than before, giving his skin and bones a shudder at the sound. Harry gathered his courage and decided to get some answers, “ Who the hell are you?” He demanded, the Elder Wand pointed at the beautiful woman’s heart. “ Don’t you know who I am, Young Master?” She smirked, hands folded in front of her as she stopped a few feet away from Harry. “ I don’t kno--” A thought hit him, a terrible terrible thought that was worse than imagining Hermione in lingerie when he was younger that one time. Is this? He thought to himself before answering rather unsurely, “ Are you Death?” He asked, his emerald eyes glowing curiously at the woman before him in a new light, as if she was an old friend. The woman smiled, a prideful gleam in her soulless depths of eyes as she clapped her hands rather excitedly, bouncing up and down in glee. You can imagine what reaction that action might have caused on Harry Jr… “ Correct!” She said, smiling widely. “ Have you come to take me to my Next Great Adventure, Lady Death?” Harry said this with respect. It’s not everyday you meet somebody like Death… Death Herself calmed down rather quickly at that, a sad smile on her lips as she shook her head. “ Would you like me to, Master?” She said. Harry blinked and thought about it for a second. Even though I’m dead back where I was, I don’t think I want to move on before I find out the extent of my lifespan. He thought, using logic on testing everything in his magical arsenal and finding out if he truly was Immortal. “ No, Lady Death, not yet anyway.” He answered, a smile on his lips. Death suddenly moved, making the small space between them disappear as she pressed him against her and grabbed his head. She planted her lips onto his, pressing her ample chest against his, making the reaction from Harry Jr. Worse. Harry was confused about this course of action that she took. Why was she kissing him as if she was his-- ...Oh… ...Bollocks… Might as well enjoy this bit in the story. He thought as both their actions turned steamy and rather kinky for the next hour or so… After a… rather exciting hour, Harry and Death laid next to each other on the now warm stony floor, panting and holding each other close. After a few minutes of silence, Harry turned his head to look at her and ask, “ You never did answer my question, Love.” Death thought to herself for a moment, before answering. “ You are in the Realm Of The Dead, Master. It’s where all souls go to be judged whether or not one goes to Heaven, or goes straight to Hell.” Harry nodded, satisfied that his question was answered. Then a new one came to mind… “ What do we do now, Death? Do I stay here forever, holding you lovingly in my arms as we make music together?” He said with a smile, while huddling closer to Death, who blushed. “ Master, you have the dirtiest mind I have seen in my existence ever since Antioch.” She said to him, smirking lustfully. He smirked back, quite accomplished at making the most feared entity in all of existence blush. “ I believe there is a world that require someone of your expertise. Your… Saving-People-Thing that one girl calls you have?” Death said, sitting up and holding a bright globe of magic in her hands, looking into it. Harry, curious as ever, looked with her. The world was magical, so full of magic that it wasn’t even funny. But the inhabitants are not humans, not just Wizards and Witches, but talking pastel colored ponies… Harry looked inside the orb in awe, hypnotised at the way this world works from what he saw. The Sun and Moon being controlled by two powerful and admittedly sexy looking goddesses with horns and wings. The weather being controlled by winged pegasi that reminded him slightly of the Beauxbatons’ horses and Thestrals back in his world. The food being produced by normal looking Ponies that have tremendous strength that make Hagrid look like a child. Oh yeah, he was interested… Harry nodded, making Death smirk at him, “ You’re just wanting to see the sexy Alicorns, don’tcha?” She teased. Harry did the only thing a mature adult could do… … Stick out his tongue at her… That made Death lean her head towards him and capture it in her teeth. “Hmm, tasty.” She purred in his mind telepathically. Then another hour of mind boggling activity involving tongue ensued… Oh my dear god, that is not where you’re supposed to put that tongue, young man! Author's Note Dear Lord, that was tramautic to think of. I feel a little bit hard just making this Chapter! Why do these adult hormones make me SUFFER!!! Anyways, I tried my best to make it...yikes... but not too far otherwise I would have to get creative on that. This chapter is just the first of many many more with Harry and the Mane Six going about their daily lives and going on adventures... Next Up: The Unicorn With The Lightning Scar…
Chapter 03: Teddy's Nightly AdventureChapter 03: Teddy’s Nightly Adventure *Elsewhere* A voice echoed, a small flash of light emanating from the middle of a large garden. Then the light dimmed to nothing and a colt of about 10 years old fell to the ground from a few feet in the air. “Yahoohoohoo!!!” yelled the colt, laying on his back with a grin on his face. The colt was Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter’s Godson. He was wearing a black t-shirt and red shorts the size for someone of his size, also wearing a pair of white socks and red tennis shoes. Teddy sat up, looking at his surroundings, before the grin faded from his lips. His Godfather wasn’t here. And wherever Harry was… Trouble follows like a magnet… He looked down at himself, childish awe on his face as he saw that his skin was replaced with a brownish red fur, and he had a pair of ears, a blackish tail, and a muzzle. He was curious as to what he was, before a voice called out. “ Hello? Who goes there?” Teddy froze, a small tingle of something running down his spine at the voice. It wasn’t fear, but something else. He went with his gut instinct that he should hide, and there was a conveniently shaped lamp a few feet to his right. After hiding behind the lamp and forced himself not to move, he looked through a tiny hole that was in the lampshade. The sound of metal clanking against the stone path that was adjacent to where he was started to come from the other side of the hedges across the way. Teddy held his breath, tensing his body in case he had to run from whatever was coming... Then he saw HER… It was a woman with a blue coat, a beautiful 20-something-year-old woman wearing some type of office attire with a crescent moon on her left breast pocket. It was of two colors, black and silver respectively for the tucked in blouse and pencil skirt that went below her knees and was loose enough to walk, maybe even run in. She was also wearing silver boots that looked to be from medieval times. She also had a horn on her head with wings on her back, which caught Teddy’s attention... What in the name of Merlin? He thought as he bit his tongue to keep himself quiet, and his breathing slow and shallow so the woman can’t hear him. Her eyes that spoke of age like his Godfather roamed around the area Teddy woke up in. Then it landed on the lamp and a perfectly sculpted eyebrow rose. After a few seconds of staring, the woman walked to where the lamp was located and spoke, a small hint of gently tenderness lacing the demand. “ If you think that trick would work like it did in Undertale, you are sorely mistaken. Please, come on out. I won’t hurt you.” After a moment of silence, Teddy peeked his head out from behind the lampshade, a hint of sheepishness in his expression. The woman smiled, her pink lips turned upwards, causing Teddy to relax for some reason. Pretty… He thought to himself as he stared at the goddess before him. “Hello… I’m Luna.” She said gently as she got to her knees, “ What’s your name, little colt? Why are thou out here?” Despite the slip of old medieval, Teddy answered. “ Teddy… Teddy Lupin… A-are you an angel?” Stupid stupid STUPID. He scolded himself internally, embarrassed at the question that came out of his mouth, preparing to run in case the woman took it the wrong way. Luna looked slightly shocked, cerulean eyes wide, and the garden was deathly quiet... Then the silence was broken by her giggling. “ You could say that I am, Teddy.” She said, shoulders shaking and cheeks slightly pink. The colt let out a quiet sigh of relief, glad that he dodged the metaphorical AK, a saying that his Godfather uses. He was interrupted from his musings by his stomach growling for all the world to hear that it was hungry, making his cheeks red in embarrassment. Luna smirked, her eyes twinkling in amusement and fondness that Harry showed for him, “ Looks like somepony is hungry.” She teased, “ Why don’t we go to the kitchens and grab a midnight snack?” Teddy answer was in the form of a nod, coming out all the way from behind the lamp and holding his sides in nervousness at the angel not two feet from him. Luna stood up to her 6 foot height and held out a hand for him to grab. Even though his inner Lupin telling him not to trust strangers, and his other voice that sounded a lot like Harry wanting him to question everything around him with Constant Vigilance, like Alastor Moody taught him before his death, he went with his other gut instinct that told him that this angel didn’t want to cause harm to him. So he held Luna’s hand as they went through the gardens, Teddy looked at the giant marble white castle in awe, it was reminiscent of Hogwarts before the battle demolished it. It was still undergoing renovations… Luna and Teddy walked down the staircase with the colt on her shoulders, a warm smile on her face as she heard the little guy giggling from his spot. Ever since her exile to the moon for a thousand years, Luna barely smiled at anything except for her sister, Celestia. It was heartbreaking… As she walked, Luna’s thoughts turned to the colt on her shoulders. Where are his parents? Surely they wouldn’t leave such a sweet child in the Canterlot Gardens alone. Unless they are like THOSE types of parents. Her thoughts turned dark at the image of this child being abused by his family, waking up her darker self residing in her head. What’s going on, Luna? Why am I waking up? Said a woman’s voice that spoke of power, and slight hint of fatigue in it. Despite how everyone thinks, Nightmare Moon was always a part of Luna, never truly going away… Nothing, Nightmare. Just having bad thoughts… Luna replied to her other, not straying her attention to where she was going and keeping a gentle hold on Teddy’s legs, so as to not make him fall off. She felt a slight hint of amusement from Nightmare, indicating that she didn’t believe what Luna said. My dear Lulu, you know that I can hear everything that you’re thinking, and view what you thought. Now, let’s see---- She trailed off as she viewed what Luna imagined happened to Teddy Lupin, then she snarled in anger, I hope to Equestria’s stars that is not what happened! How can anypony leave such an innocent child in the middle of the night? OUR night?! Luna briefly stopped, blinking in surprise at the feral anger in her dark side’s voice, not hearing Teddy’s words of concern. This never happened before, whenever Nightmare wakes up, she immediately fights for control over their body. It always happens ever since returning from the moon… It was very surprising that Nightmare cares about someone, even a child. I can still HEAR you! Nightmare said, a deadpan in her voice, but the rage from what she imagined was still bubbling under the surface. If it wasn’t so surprising, and if Teddy was trying to grab her attention by booping her on the nose, Luna would’ve laughed herself silly at how comedic this was… She snapped out of her inner conversation and turned her attention on Teddy, who was inches from her face, upside down, with a look of worry on his face. Luna blinked in surprise, then she said, “ Yes, young Teddy?” The colt frowned in concern, causing Luna to feel a slight warmth in her chest at being cared for. Nopony else cared for her like Celestia and the six ponies that released her from Nightmare’s clutches like they did, so it was rare... The colt spoke, his eyes searching for whatever caused his new friend to stop. “ Are you ok, Luna? You look… worried…” Princess Luna smiled, keeping her voice gentle, “ I am fine, Little Lupin. I assure you that I got lost in my thoughts for a moment.” She said. Teddy’s eyes narrowed, and spoke with sternness that if anypony else would do so to her, they would’ve been sent to the dungeons for disrespect. But he was a child that didn’t know of her heritage, not yet anyway… “ My godfather uses the same line, it usually means that not everything is alright, and to hear you say that, even though we just met, makes me WORRY.” He stressed at the final word, a plea in his eyes to tell him what she was thinking. Luna sighed, a pang in her heart and Nightmare sniggering in the back of her mind at the young colt’s words. Yet, that warmth grew. She took a breath, gathered the courage and spoke, “ This might be a bad time to ask thee, young Lupin. But… where are your parents? Do they live in Canterlot, or did they leave you here?” Teddy’s normally bright eyes dimmed, causing Luna to flinch slightly and Nightmare to scold her. “ I am sorry if---” She was interrupted by him smiling sadly, eyes gleaming with tears. “ It’s ok, Luna…” Teddy climbed down off her shoulders and onto the ground in front of the Lunar Diarch, scuffing his shoe against the ground in nervousness. “ They died… A decade ago there was a battle going on, and my mum and dad went to fight for the good. They died doing what was right, and my godfather raised me ever since then.” He said, looking down at his feet, not knowing that there was a third presence looming over him. “ Where is this Godfather of yours, young one?” Said a voice to his left, one that was different that radiated that they demand respect. Teddy lifted his head at the voice, speaking, “ I’m not sure if he even came here with me, he might be---” He stopped as his brain tried to process what was in front of him. It was another woman besides Luna, this time with a darker coat, and wearing silver armor that looked to be slightly scuffed and dented, as if it has seen many a battle. The mark that was on Luna’s vest was the same on the breastplate, just slightly darker. Her turquoise dragon slitted eyes stared at his own normal blue, as if they were looking into his soul… He had to admit, she too, was beautiful… After staring at the amused woman for a few moments, he continued on, “ I don’t know if he’s here. Dad seems to attract trouble wherever he goes, even more so than his time at school.” Luna and the new arrival turned to look at each other for a minute, seemingly communicating with telepathy. Then the two turned back, Luna smiling, while the other woman seemed to frown, as if they were polar opposites of each other. “ What is your godfather’s name, Teddy?” Luna asked, kneeling down to be eye level with him, “ We might be able to find him.” Teddy blinked, raised an eyebrow, then replied hesitantly, not wanting to get his Godfather into trouble. “ Harry… Harry Potter…” At Luna’s raised eyebrow, he continued, explaining that his Godfather was famous from where they were, and hated the attention for something he doesn’t remember. When he didn’t elaborate for what Harry was famous for, Luna and Nightmare Moon raised an eyebrow, slightly suspicious about that. Since Harry Potter must’ve done something extraordinary for an entire country to basically worship him like a God. It was strangely reminiscent of the Princesses… Luna nodded her head, putting a finger to her ching, eyes looking towards the ceiling with a look of concentration. After a minute, she spoke, “ I found him.” Teddy reeled in surprise as his inner musings of what his Godfather seemed to be doing to find him, and waited for the answer. He got it… “ He’s in Ponyville, using a stick to fight off a couple of ponies.” She said it with narrowed eyes, a protectiveness in her that never seemed to show before, “ Why is he doing that, young Lupin?” Teddy blinked once again at what he was told, then facepalmed. “ Damn it Dad.” He murmured. It was quiet, but not quiet enough for the second woman. She spoke, her voice giving him goosebumps. “ What is wrong? Hast he done this before?” Luna got up and looked to Teddy as well, arms crossed against her chest and eyebrow raised. From past experience with Molly Weasley who uses the same pose, began speaking, “ He was always protective of me, ever since the battle of Hogwarts, where my parents died. My biological father, Remus Lupin, named Harry as my Godfather/Foster Father, in case something happened to them. Harry is a good parent, and despite being slightly reckless, he will kill anyone that might harm his family, including me.” The darker coated woman kneeled, putting a sharp nailed finger under his chin so that he may meet her eyes, looking to see if he was lying. After finding that he was speaking nothing but the truth, she smiled softly, which made Luna’s eyes widened slightly. Nightmare never truly smiled except if she wants something... “ We forgot to introduce myself. I am Nightmare Moon, little one. We shall see that your Godfather is safely reunited to you, and shall be accommodated to the castle. I have seen many a brave soldier, but this Harry Potter, he is more than worthy of courting.” She winked at Teddy for the last part, making the ten year old blush, and Luna facepalm with pink on her cheeks. “ Nightmare…” She warned, not wanting to scar the child. Her darker side smirked, showing a couple of fangs, dragon slitted eyes twinkling with amusement and mischief. “ What, little Lulu? Don’t tell me thou are jealous? He might be willing to share…” Teddy watched as Nightmare Moon and Luna bicker at each other, noticing that there was also another in the room staring at the group with light purple eyes gleaming with motherly gentleness. She was wearing the same attire as Luna, except that it was alabaster white with a yellow sun on her left breast pocket. Her hair looked like a multitude of colors; pink, green, white and light-blue. She also looked to be a relative of Luna, except that she was taller than Luna by a head… Teddy smiled as her eyes caught his, and her posture seemed to relax from some unknown tenseness that was there, but unnoticed. He walked over to the woman, the other two didn’t notice that he was not in front of them anymore, and leaned against the wall beside her. The woman and young colt seemed to enjoy the entertainment of two women bickering, which seemed to get increasingly humorous as the argument turned into how to share somepony in bed, which made Teddy blush at some of the more lustrous suggestions from Nightmare. That is when the new woman turned to him, smiling. “ I’m Princess Celestia. It is nice to meet you. I see that you met my sister, and her… companion…” She seemed to hesitate at the last part when mentioning Nightmare Moon, but continued all the same. That smile made Teddy’s heart stop at how bright it seemed, filling his body with warmth and his cheeks grew red for some reason. “ I’m Teddy Lupin, Ma’am--- Wait, you said Luna is a Princess as well?” He said, slightly reeling from the shock that Luna is a Princess. Celestia giggled behind her hand making Luna--- Princess Luna, and Nightmare Moon turn to whoever giggled. “ Greetings, sister! We did not see you there!” Luna said with a smile on her face. Nightmare on the other hand, was frozen with eyes wide and body tense, looking as if she might… She disappeared in a cloud of purple sparkly mist and flew down to the end of the corridor opposite of Celestia. The three watched as the mist turned a corner and disappear. Celestia blinked, lips pursed, them murmured. “ I haven’t even said anything.” It was too much, Teddy began snickering, causing the two Princesses to look at him. Then Luna began giggling… Then Celestia snerked… Then she began laughing, holding her sides as the silence broke into a cacophony of laughter at what just happened. Only Nightmare wasn’t the one laughing, glaring at the two traitorous fiends that dared to laugh at her fear of the Solar Diarch. *Meanwhile* “ Leave me alone! I just want to find my Godson!” Harry Potter shouted, firing spell after spell at the group of girls that were chasing after him, narrowly missing to tree branches and dirt. “ Oh Yeah?! Well you should’ve said so before you decided to try and take Twi hostage!” Said a sky blue young woman with wings, rainbow colored hair, and wearing an athletic outfit of a white tank top and jeans with tears on the knees. Then Harry got wrapped in a pinkish aura, freezing in the middle of taking another sprinting step. The group of girls caught up and surrounded him, one of them wearing an orange and work jeans with a stetson, tied his hands and feet with rope, making sure they were tight and secure. Harry knew he could’ve apparated away and force the ropes off him with good old fashioned Gandhi, but frankly he wasn’t thinking, except fearing what happened to his Godson… After the three calmed down, and Nightmare returning hesitantly to Luna’s side, the group made their way back to Luna’s and Teddy’s original destination: The Royal Kitchens. As they came up to a large wooden door made of oak, Teddy yawned, snuggling in the warmth of Luna, who was holding him in her arms, easily carrying him with a strength that would’ve made Hagrid blush and admire. The group went inside and Luna set Teddy down in a comfortable plush chair that made him want to fall asleep in, except the smell of pastries wafted under his nose, causing it to twitch and his mouth to water. Cake… He thought before he dug in with gusto, not caring if he was making a mess and acknowledging the fact that there was Royalty in the room with him. Celestia, Luna, and Nightmare Moon chuckled, snickered, and smirked respectively as they daintily ate their own slice of velvet cake, moon cake, and dark chocolate cake. It was a good night, maybe not for Harry Potter, who was knocked out with a sleeping spell and tied up in the library, but it was a good night for the Princesses and Teddy… Author's Note WELL, Can't say that I'm not having fun with this, But I Am! Hope you all enjoyed this as much as I did making it, I'm trying to get the ball to roll in the scheme of making Harry an Alicorn, but I ain't having any progress on that... But I hope this story is good, and if there are any grammar errors, lemme know and I'll fix them. Next: The Interrogation...
Chapter 04: The InterrogationChapter 04: Harry’s Interrogation… Harry slowly came to after being knocked out by some kind of sleeping spell, like the Draught of Living Death. His blurry vision cleared soon enough and noticed he was in a small dark room made of stone with a singular light hanging down above him, the only light source forcing the shadows back. Harry felt his chest tighten at the sight of the bulb, reminded of his time in the cupboard under the stairs that served as his room for a decade, before he went to Hogwarts and got a room that served as his cousin Dudley’s toy room. He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath through his nose, holding it for a moment, before exhaling through his lips. Harry repeated this action a few times, his hammering heart that was thudding against his ribcage like a jackhammer slowly returned to normal, and the feeling of panic fading into weariness. After he had finished calming himself down, Harry looked around the room and saw a set of stairs that led upwards to somewhere… Where he didn’t know… Then his thoughts turned to his Godson, feeling regret and sadness hit him all at once, making a teardrop down his cheek at the feeling that he failed his promise to Remus and Tonks; that he would take care of Teddy as if he was his own son. His guilt ridden thoughts were interrupted by a door opening where the stairs were located and he sniffed, trying to not breakdown at the thought that Teddy might be dead. Down the stairs came a woman he was familiar with, Twilight Sparkle. She was wearing the same outfit from earlier, and she was holding a tray of food that consisted of spaghetti and meatballs. “ Glad to see that you’re awake, Mister Trotter.” Twilight said, with a tone that spoke of no emotions and professional. Harry didn’t reply, only looking down at his shoes, wanting to ruffle his hair, but can’t due to his hands tied behind his back, sitting in a metal chair with rope around him. He felt trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey… Twilight raised an eyebrow at the lack of response, but set the tray down on the table in front of Harry, then sat in the opposite chair across from him. After using her magic to remove the ropes tied around his wrists, Harry ruffled his hair because it was a thing he did whenever he was frustrated or nervous. He was feeling more of the latter… He picked up the fork and started to slowly eat the, admittedly, delicious spaghetti, ignoring the fact that Twilight was staring at him with an emotion he couldn’t describe. After halfway through his meal, Harry stopped, setting the fork down and sat back, crossing his arms and stared, engaging in a staring contest with Miss Sparkle. Then Twilight spoke, “ Why did you try and kidnap me, Mister Trotter?” She asked, quill held against a small sheet of parchment, seemingly ready to write the answers down. It vaguely reminded him of Rita Skeeter and her Dicta-Quill… Harry sighed, wanting to get this over with, he went for blunt honesty. “ Because I thought that Teddy was kidnapped or worse, DEAD.” He said the last part with a bit of bubbling fury in his voice, his protectiveness in him lashing out. Twilight slightly flinched at the flames returning in his emerald orbs, but kept her cool. “ Why didn’t you say so before you did what you did? I’m sure I could’ve helped you.” She replied, her tone not shaking, but slightly confused. Harry raised an eyebrow, replying with a derisive snort. “ How did I know I could trust you? Miss Sparkle there is one thing that’s always kept me going: Constant Vigilance. Even I don’t trust my friends at times. Because of the war that I was in, I am suspicious at anything and everything.” He took a breath, calming himself down again before he explodes. “ When his parents died in the final battle, I was given guardianship of Teddy Lupin and raise him like my own son. Besides, He’s the only connection to me that makes one thing between in common Miss Sparkle…” Twilight finished writing down what Harry said, then looked up with an eyebrow raised, “ What is the connection that you have in common, Mister Trotter?” She spoke, curiosity burning within her. Harry smiled sadly, causing a small urge in Twilight to get up and hug him, due to the large amount of bitter sadness and misery in those jaded green eyes of his. “ Our parents are dead when we were young, and alone. Only Teddy and I have a deep understanding of the other.” He replied, then laid his head back and shut his eyes, ignoring the world. After a few moments of silence, Twilight got up from her chair, teleported the half empty tray of food to the kitchen to wash later, then exited the room quietly. “ All I’m saying is that he’s being honest, RD. That doesn’t mean he had to go and try and kidnap Twilight, though.” Applejack said, arms crossed and a frown on her lips. The prismatic woman grimaced as she spoke, “ I know Applejack, but that can’t be it. I mean, he just shows up one day, and he kidnaps Twi as a hostage? All because of looking for his Godson?! I don’t believe it! He’s gotta have another ulterior motive.” Twilight interrupted the two women arguing, noticing that Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie, are standing off to the side of the room behind the glass mirror, watching the argument as if it was a play. “ I hate to be right, but Mister Trotter seems to be paranoid. In fact, he looked as if he was ready to shoot first ask questions later when you all tried to save me.” “ Maybe he is a soldier?” Fluttershy murmured, drawing attention to herself from her other friends. Rainbow Dash blinked, ears perked up interested in what her childhood friend had to say. “ Whatdoyoumean he might be a soldier, ‘Shy?” She rasped out, asking the question on The Mane Six’s minds. The butterscotch pegasus hid behind her hair, and meekly replied, “ His eyes. They look like they’ve been through war. I always see it in Time Turner whenever he comes to my cottage to get treats for his dog, K-9. But...” She turned back to the stallion whose head was tilted upwards in the air, before continuing, “ For Harry Trotter, It seems to look like his whole life was hell, and he is looking for the only thing he can feel that he is not alone, and vice versa with his Godson.” It shocked a couple of the girls that Fluttershy, sweet, caring Fluttershy cursed for the first time, including Rainbow Dash whose eyes widened to the size of tennis balls in surprise. After a few seconds of shocked silence, it was broken by a knock on the window behind Fluttershy, making her go “ EEP!!!” and hide behind a bemused Rarity, shaking like a leaf. The Mane Six turned to the window, seeing that Harry was up and somehow out of his chair. “ Whu? How?” Twilight seemed to stutter since the ropes she tied him up with was magic-proof. “ I’m so sorry to bother you all, but I need your help to find my Godson, Teddy Lupin? He’s about ten years old with fuzzy brown hair and blueish eyes, has a smile that can make anyone have a cardiac arrest?” Harry looked through the one way mirror, looking into the room, before his eyes landed on Twilight, smiling roguishly, making Rarity, Fluttershy, heck even Rainbow Dash slightly blush. “ Miss Sparkle, my most sincere apologies for trying to kidnap you. I was frustrated that I lost him, But I am calm now. So if you don’t mind?” He gestured towards the door, waiting patiently. The girls huddled together, seeming to make a plan while Harry watched with amusement. After a minute of silently discussing their game plan, Twilight opened the door with her magic, and Harry stepped through with his hands in pockets, a relaxed posture on his lithe but apparently strong frame. The stallion cracked his neck, sighing in relief at the tension fading away from waking up in that chair, before speaking. “ Hullo, I’m Harry. I think that we’re going to get along just FINE.” He said, his emerald eyes gleaming. Author's Note DONE!!! This story is going at a fine pace, and I want to take as much time as I can with this as I possibly can and make it the longest story with a thousand or two thousand word chapters. There will be romance, and there will NOT be clop, I don't think I have the brainpower to think it up. Thank You for patiently waiting, there will be more chapters coming soon! Next Up: The Boy Who Had A Nightmare…
Chapter 05: The Boy Who Had A NightmareChapter 05: The Boy Who Had A Nightmare… In Canterlot Castle, Teddy Lupin was asleep, being carried by Princess Luna, who was now wearing a silky nightwear that was compared to shirt and pants, a difference in her normal attire. The Lunar Diarch smiled down at the sleeping young colt, ignoring the sly grin the her older sister seemed to shoot her. Then there was a flash and a click, making Luna’s head shoot up in surprise at the camera in Nightmare Moon’s hands, her grinning evilly that made her have shivers down her spine. “ Now that’s one for your scrapbook Celestia.” She said, handing the Solar Diarch the camera. Celestia rolled her eyes, but smiled anyways. After being in the same room for a few minutes without giant fireballs and eternal night happening due to the little colt in Luna’s arms, the two relaxed to each other’s presence into talking terms. That’s a good thing, otherwise I would’ve forced them into a room to make out with each other and the shipping would have ensued without Cadance’s help... Anyways, after Luna tucked in Teddy, she tiptoed to the door and shut it gently. The three Alicorns made their way to an lounge like area with a couple of couches and area coffee table, along with a large mahogany oak desk with an office chair behind it. This was obviously Celestia’s study. One that she barely uses besides paperwork or to relax from her duties, which were rare before Luna (and Nightmare) returned from the moon. Celestia opened a cabinet, taking out three large glasses and and bottle that looked to have been preserved for a long long time. Luna eyed the bottle in curiosity before she took it into her magic to get a closer look. Her eyes widened at the name and date… “ Tia, Is this… Bottled MoonRay? Where did you get this?” She wheezed out, feeling faint that her sister got her hands on a creation that Luna herself brewed. The alabaster Alicorn smirked as she set the glasses on the table with cubes of ice in them, before sitting down herself. “ It is the first bottle you successfully brewed since 0090 C&LR, a decade before your banishment. I kept it perfectly preserved for an occasion such as your return.” She took the bottle, uncorked it with a loud POP, and began pouring silvery white liquid that seemed to be ethereal in the dim lighting of the lamp in the corner of the study. After pouring the alcohol to Luna and Nightmare’s glasses, she poured one for herself, taking a small sip. Her magenta eyes then glowed with a starry constellation swirling in them for a moment, before they faded to normal. “ I’ve not had MoonRay in centuries.” Celestia moaned out as she felt like melting into a puddle of ecstasy on the couch. Nightmare took a tentative sip, then practically moaned lewdly as she followed the Solar Diarch in ecstasy. Luna only took a gulp and raised an eyebrow, a deadpan expression on her face as she looked on. Being the sole brewer of the MoonRay has its perks after all… “ So, what shalt be done about young Mister Potter in Ponyville? I mean, there’s a chance that he is looking for young Teddy to kidnap him, or worse…” Nightmare asked, looking at the half empty glass of MoonRay in her hand, “ I don’t want to take any chances that this stallion is not his Godfather.” Celestia, now that she’s snapped out of her bliss, turned serious and sat up, a posture that made Nightmare slightly flinch… It was the look of a mother that would kill to protect her child… “ If that stallion thinks he can harm a child, he’s got another thing coming.” Celestia practically growled. The air shimmered with heat that was practically radiating from Celestia herself, making Luna and Nightmare uncomfortable. Luna set her glass down on the table, and sat next to her older sister, putting her hands on her shoulders, saying, “ Then we make sure Harry Potter can’t touch him, if it comes to that. If we’re wrong though…” Luna shuddered as she felt the raw power in the stallion’s core when she looked for him with a scrying spell, “ It could be catastrophic for everypony involved.” Celestia calmed down, the fiery glow in her eyes returned to a gentle magenta. “ I want you find him when he’s asleep, Lulu. Then we’ll truly know. Take Nightmare with you as well in case he tries anything.” She sighed, rubbing the bridge of her muzzle with her index finger and thumb, “ We don’t know how truly powerful this stallion could be.” Luna nodded, then stiffened suddenly, her eyes wide in shock. “ Speak of Luci and he shall appear…” She murmured, catching Nightmare and Celestia’s attention. Luna turned towards them and spoke. “ Harry Potter just fell asleep, and is having a dream.” Elsewhere, the aforementioned stallion laying on the couch in the Golden Oaks Library, twisting and turning in his sleep with an expression of pain and discomfort… Luna and Nightmare entered the Dreamscape, a Astral corridor filled with doors the color of the rainbow, and sitting in front of them was a grey is black metal door with a symbol on it, underneath the name Harry James Potter. Luna blinked, feeling slightly shocked that the door was different then the rest, which were normally wood with the rare security door. Nightmare traced the somehow familiar symbol on the door, feeling slightly weird as she came into contact with the warm metal... “ Do you feel this, Luna?” The Mare In the Moon grabbed the Princess Of the Night’s hand and set it against the symbol. Luna felt her eyebrows reach her hairline when she felt ice cold. “ It’s cold, Nightmare, even more than a Wendigo’s breath.” She said. Nightmare frowned, shaking her head as she grabbed the knob of the door. “ That’s odd…” She turned the handle down, hearing a satisfying click, “ Because it felt warm to me.” She opened the door and walked in with determination in her body, Luna following close after, keeping a wary eye out for anything that might sneak through the doorway... Nightmare and Luna came to a sudden halt, horror in the form of wide eyes and dropped jaws at the scene before them… The scene depicted of a castle that looked to be as grand as Canterlot Castle, but now it lays in ruin, smoke and fire billowing in the early morning, with ash falling down the sky and onto the ground full of the dead… This wasn’t just some regular battle… It was a slaughter… “ What… What could cause all of this?” Nightmare spoke, feeling her breath being pushed out of her at the stench of the dead permeating the air. Luna didn’t answer, only turned to look at a lone stallion with unruly black hair and emerald green eyes, standing in the middle of the pile. He wasn’t moving, only staring down with a look of resignation, mixed with helplessness… Then the pieces clicked together, and Luna and Nightmare looked at each other, who came to the same realisation. This wasn’t a stallion looking to harm… This was a stallion that had the world on his shoulders, going through hell ever since his childhood, doing what’s right for the world… But at the cost of those close to him… “ Every day, I think of them.” The stallion spoke with a Trottingham accent that sent shivers down the two mares’ spines. It was alluring, charming, yet sad, painful… ...Broken… He turned to them, looking to his right, his eyes gleaming with unshed tears, causing the two Alicorns have the urge to go over and comfort the stallion. “ Everyday, I feel like what I do for the Greater Good, EVERYONE’S Greater Good, Those that are closest to me are in danger. I do my best to save everyone, but…” He stopped, turning to the bodies of a bushy haired woman, and a red haired stallion, hand in hand, peaceful looks on their ash covered faces, “ It’s not enough…” The stallion who the two know now is Harry Potter, walked over to a blood soaked bench that had seen better days, and sat down, not minding the feel of blood in the bottom of his pants. “ So…” The stallion asked, his painful eyes now glowing with curiosity, the scenery changed in seconds around them to the same area, albeit without the piles of dead bodies and ash filled skies. Now it was just empty… Luna and Nightmare found themselves sitting on opposite sides. Luna’s eyes were wide once again, being this close proximity to a stallion with as much power to control his dreams, but now… It felt like there was something else surrounding him, something more powerful than Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Discord and Nightmare Moon combined, not even close to a fraction of whatever was around Harry… “ Am I dead?” Harry continued with a raised eyebrow. Luna shook her head, smiling softly. “ No, young Harry Potter, thou are not dead.” Nightmare continued after Luna’s sentence, somehow knowing what was going to be said. “ You are only asleep, and we came to talk with you about your Godson.” Harry tensed, holding himself back from trying to grab the Elder Wand in his holster, until remembering that he was dreaming. “ What about Teddy? Did you do something to him?” He was feeling a slight bit of panic and it must’ve shown on his face, because Nightmare Moon rested her sharply nailed hand on his left shoulder gently, grabbing his attention. When green emerald jade met dragon slitted turquoise, there was a small moment of silence, before Nightmare spoke with a soothing tone, “ Young Teddy is in Canterlot Castle with us, safe and unharmed.” The assurance worked, and Harry slowly relaxed his muscles that ached like they have been at the Final Battle Of Hogwarts, the day Voldemort had well and truly died. He sighed, putting his face in his hands, “ Thank god, he’s okay.” He straightened up and suddenly wrapped an arm around the back of Luna’s shoulders, causing the Alicorn to stiffen and turn a tomato red. “ Thank you for taking care of him while I was being a reckless idiot. There must be something I can do to repay you two?” Harry said, whispering in Luna’s ear, not knowing that Luna’s heart was rapidly beating. Nightmare, who was snickering at Luna’s stiff form from the hug, slyly smirked at those words. “ Well…” She started to say, but was interrupted by Luna breaking out of Harry’s one armed hug and slam her hand into the mare’s mouth. “ NO!” The Night Princess basically shouted. Nightmare pried her other’s hand off her mouth, continuing with slight amusement in her draconic eyes, “ You didn’t let me finish, Lulu. I was going to say that Harry could come to Canterlot tomorrow, to reunite with his Godson.” Luna who was still red, turned pink with slight embarrassment. Harry wasn’t an idiot, and was internally imagining him making out with the two Alicorns and Death. Then he shook his head gently, feeling slightly ridiculous at those lewd thoughts, Must’ve got those from Myrtle. He mused to himself. Then the air seemed to crack with white, as if it was some window on the verge of collapse. “ Looks like you’re waking up, young Harry. I guess we’ll see your worth in our bed.” Nightmare grinned lustfully as his vision faded to white. You sneaky sonouva--- Harry opened his eyes and sat up on Twilight’s couch, yawning and stretching his muscles that were aching only slightly. At least they didn’t hurt as much as the dream’s… He head footsteps come down and saw a anthropomorphic purple dragon in a white crood neck shirt, jeans being held up by a belt, and also wearing socks, with red and white tennis shoes. “ Morning.” Spike said, walking into the kitchen to make breakfast for himself, his older sister, and their guest. “ G’morning Spike.” Harry groggily said, not having felt this tired ever since his Hogwarts days. It was actually refreshing to sleep for once… But that dream… Harry shook off the images of the two beautiful Alicorns that were in his dream and came to the thought of what the dark one said to him. “ He’s in Canterlot Castle…” He murmured to himself. Twilight just came down the stairs and just barely heard him. “ Mister Trotter? Who’s in Canterlot?” She inquired, but had an idea as to who her guest was referring to… “ Teddy… My Godson… He’s in Canterlot Castle with the Princesses that you told me about before I slept. They are taking care of him.” He said, his body relaxing with relief still at the thought of his Godson being alright. Twilight sat down next to Harry and smiled. “ Well, that means Princess Celestia and Luna are taking care of him, then. He’s in good hands.” He raised an eyebrow, replying, “ Than what about the other one? Nightmare Moon?” Teddy woke up in a VERY comfortable bed. The soft mattress and silk comforter blanket made him not want to get up… At least he dreamt of meeting legendary Princesses… “ Good morning, Young Teddy.” A familiar voice rang out, making him jump a little and turn his head to whoever said it. It was Princess Luna, wearing her attire that she wore last night, albeit unwrinkled, and a bit shiny with armor on her forearms, and a obsidian black crown around her horn giving the appearance of the royalty her heritage possessed. Teddy was once again enamored by her beauty, which made Luna’s cheeks turn a little pink and smile at his dazed look. I have a feeling that Harry is gonna be the same in person. She thought to herself as she and Teddy got ready for the day, her with daytime duties and Teddy waiting for his Godfather to show up. But for some reason, Luna thought she heard someone scream in the distance with horror, “WHAT!?!?” Author's Note Chapter 5 is now DONE!!! Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I made it, I am sorry if it was fast paced, but I don't think I could've added anymore than that, but lemme know what you think! Next: Reunions, Royalty, and Protectors...
Chapter 06: Reunions, Royalty, and ProtectorsChapter 06: Reunions, Royalty, and Protection… The Friendship Express, a train with so many convoluting colors that it would make anyone’s eyes hurt just by LOOKING at it, was rolling along the tracks that was heading towards Canterlot City. Harry was putting away the book on the history of Equestria, the new world he and his Godson was in. He did all he could not to fidget ever since getting on the train. Despite Death’s assurances and the knowledge of Teddy being safe in the hands of the co-rulers of Princess Celestia and Luna, the ponies that control the Sun and Moon, he was worried. He was also having a hard time imagining Teddy not freaking out at being alone with strangers, let alone of the female kind… Though, if he has inherited his mother’s knack for flirting with strangers… Harry thought to himself as he gazed out the window at the scenery flying by the train, which was mostly trees and shrubbery. Things would get interesting… He finished the thought as he closed his eyes for the rest of the journey to the capital city of Equestria. *An Hour Later* “ Harry, wake up we’re here!” Said a voice in his ear. Harry jumped, muscles tensed for a moment to fend off whoever was trying to attack him, before relaxing at the sight of Spike, Twilights little brother sitting next to him, looking at him with concern at his tensed form. “ Are you ok?” He asked the stallion, a bit concerned at the way he looked, almost as if he was ready to fight in a moment’s notice. Harry shook his head, smiling a bit at the dragon, “ I’m alright Spike. You just startled me is all.” That seemed to work as Spike relaxed and moved away from him, giving the stallion room to get up and walk out into the aisle. Harry had to blink for a second before looking around in awe… The city was more grand up close, the castle of the Royal Pony Sisters even moreso… Harry got off the train and stepped to the side of the doorway to let everyone file out. Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash came with just in case he doesn’t do anything stupid, and to meet Teddy that he kept talking about last night… “ Ok everypony! We got everything for a two day stay?” Twilight said, going over a checklist being held in her hands. Yeah, she was practically a manager for things like this… After everyone nodded and gave affirmatives, the group of 8 began their trek to the castle, making sure they stay in single file as to not bump into the Noble snobs that permeate Canterlot. After making their way through countless streets, meeting with a couple that were nicer than everyone else named Fleur De Lis and Fancy Pants. After exchanging greetings with Harry to Fancy as well as Fleur and made small talk, the group continued. Although the name Fleur tickled in the back of Harry’s mind, bringing the memory of the French Veela who was a Triwizard Champion for Beauxbatons in his fourth year, he filed it away as coincidence. The group came up to a large brass gate with two guardstallions, wearing shiny golden armor and spears in parade rest. “ Twilight Sparkle and company to see Princess Celestia and Luna.” Twilight said, pulling out a scroll that her mentor sent through Spike’s dragon fire mail earlier that morning. After taking it from her, one of the Guards looked it over for any forgery and the like, he nodded, satisfied that it was genuine when he saw the signature of magic that only Princess Celestia can possess in her name on the bottom written in elegant cursive. The two Guards kept an eye on the strange stallion that was accompanying the Elements Of Harmony as they went into the castle grounds… The group of mares and stallion walked through the maze of corridors, Harry taking a gander at the multitude of windows depicting events that happened in all the history of Equestria. The most recent is an image with the girls surrounding a shadowy stallion with a red horn and evil looking eyes, an image of a crystal city in the background shining with an unearthly light. After a few minutes of walking, they came up to a pair of large golden doors, with a pair of the same white stallions wearing golden armor, making Harry blink at them in slight confusion, but didn’t question it, since it was ‘magic’. “ The Princesses will see you now. They are in a meeting with the foreign royal delegates.” Said the Guard on the left. “ You all came at a perfect time.” Said the Guard on the right, smirking lightly with his blue eyes with a knowing look, indicating that he must’ve saw this coming. But that doesn’t make sense, he doesn’t know what might happen… Does he?... Twilight nodded, not even looking the slightest fazed that she might be interrupting her mentor’s meeting. The Guards opened the giant doors, and the group made their way inside the cavernous room… Celestia and Luna were sitting on plush chairs at one end of a large oval table, observing the squabbling of the Changeling Queens seated on the opposite end, internally amused at them trying to figure out how to integrate their species as a whole into Equestrian society. If only she had a camera… Then the doors to the meeting Chambers opened and in came a group that she was familiar with, and a stallion that Celestia and Luan recognised from Teddy Lupin’s descriptions. The Changeling Queens stopped their argument, and Amethyst, a Queen of Innocence, stated with a happy smile, “ YAY! Friends!” The chibi-like Changeling shot out of her chair, and zoomed through the group of mares, and latched on to the stallion named Harry Potter. The stallion’s body tensed at the sudden attack, but when he looked down, he relaxed himself again, Which Celestia and Luna noticed, making them curious as to what made him tense up in the first place. “ It’s SO wonderful to meet new ponied!” The queen said in an accent that made Harry blink. It was British. Harry snorted, replying, “ Well, I was expecting to meet new ponies as well, but this was unexpected.” The queen didn’t reply, only looking up at him with those expressive yellow eyes and fang filled smile that somehow didn’t want him to go all Alastor Moody on… A cough interrupted the silence and Harry looked up, catching his emerald eyes on Luna’s, recognition twinkling as he nodded his head in respect. “ Well, that happened…” said Nova, the Changeling Queen of Lust said, a flirty smile on her lips, pink eyes glowing with mirth. She especially seemed to have an eye for one of the girls, Fluttershy, her name was… After the childlike Changeling let go of Harry and zipped back to her small high seat with a happy grin, a small door to the left of Celestia opened and in peeked a child with brownish red fur, and wearing a black t-shirt and red shorts the size for someone of his size, also wearing a pair of white socks and red tennis shoes. “ Hey Luna, may I… Come… In...” He trailed off looking behind the two Princesses, causing Luna and Celestia to follow wherever he was looking at. Their eyes landed on the stallion in the group named Harry, who froze as well when his green eyes caught Teddy’s. “ DAD!!!” the colt yelled out, a look of joy on his face and a smile so wide that it almost made everyone cling their chests in pleasurable pain. Harry opened his arms wide as his Godson shot into him, like the Changeling Queen, Amethyst did. The stallion’s eyes grew wet with tears as he wrapped his arms around the colt, whispering with a voice that broke, “ Teddy.” The large group of Ponies in the room looked at the scene with a smile, a couple of the Changeling Queens d’awwing at the sight, cooing at the adorable colt in Harry’s arms. One of them, Helphia, the queen of Family, fed on the reunion in small nibbles, draining the excess emotion that radiated the whole room, feeling full for the first time in centuries. After everyone calmed down and Harry let go of Teddy, they sat down at the table, comfortably close to the Princesses, Luna especially, who blushed lightly at the feeling of his magic that wrapped around her own intimately. Even if they didn’t know it yet, but interesting times are ahead for all of Gaia with Harry James Potter involved… “ So, what you’re saying is that Changelings need emotions to live on?” Harry inquired while talking with Helphia, who sat next to him during the meeting. It has been an hour since the meeting started, and without complaint, the Princesses let the Mane Six, Harry, and Teddy to join the small conference… Which is odd if I didn’t allow it, if I do say so myself… Helphia nodded, her vibrant red mane flying around her shoulders a little as she did so. She replied, “ Indeed, Mister Trotter. All Changelings need some type of emotion to live off of, be it Lust, Love, Family, Innocence, Hate. Sure we can eat pony foods like everyone else, but we prefer emotions because it’s fills us more and lasts longer.” Harry put a hand on his chin, rubbing the more coarse fur that served as a small beard as well. He contemplated for a moment, before getting an idea. “ Well, let’s say that you eat foods like Ponies do, as well as emotions corrects?” At Helphia’s nod, a curious look on her face as she did so, he continued, “ Why not mix both of them together? Separate each individual emotion that the Changeling Hives thrive on and grow them? After the food is either done growing or made, inject them with the emotions and eat it? That way it can last longer without going to waste, and enjoy the best of both worlds.” Helphia, as well as the other Changeling Queens, stared at him slack jawed. Even Chrysalis had her face show surprise… It was VERY amusing… Celestia and Luna thought the idea over in their heads, then nodded. “ We believe that young Mister Trotter has the right idea.” Celestia spoke with a motherly warm smile, that made Teddy squirm at the warmth in him once again. Harry noticed, a look of concern showing in his eyes as he saw him become uncomfortable. Teddy saw that, and shook his head with a reassuring smile, telling him everything is ok. It seemed to have worked, if Harry’s nod was any comprehension. “ Then I think this meeting was a success.” Queen Chrysalis finally spoke up, her gentle tone surprising everyone in the room, including the Princesses. It has been a year since the Changelings tried to invade Canterlot, and all they heard from her was madness and malice… Harry nodded, agreeing with the Queen, who nodded back with a small look of bewilderment showing in her eyes. It was not everyday that a Pony agrees with a Changeling on something, the disagreements usually end in a bloody mess… Teddy walked next to his Godfather, a slight mixture of nervousness and excitement rolling in his stomach as they made their way to a familiar blue Alicorn, who was talking with her older sister about something that made the alabaster mare frown. “ Your Majesties.” Harry said, dipping his head in respect, Teddy following along. “ Ah, Harry Potter, I presume?” Celestia spoke, her tone formal and serious. At the sound of his actual last name, Harry tensed a little, his instincts were telling him to protect Teddy in case things go bad. “Yes?” He answered reluctantly. SLAP! The occupants of the room jumped and turned to the source of the noise… Harry’s head was snapped to the side, showing a slight red mark from Celestia’s hand as she slapped him. He blinked, not even fazed at the slight sting of pain in his cheek, turning his head back to the Alicorn with a confused look. “ Ok… That was unexpected...what’d I do to deserve that, Princess?” Luna’s eyebrow raised at how in control Harry was in his own emotions, despite being hurt. Trust me, Alicorns hit HARD… Celestia crossed her arms and glared at the stallion. “ You abandoned your Godson in the Royal Gardens in the middle of the night, and you ask me what you did? Do you--” She was interrupted by Harry actually glaring at her, emerald orbs glowing with power and anger. “ I didn’t leave my Godson! I woke up in a dark forest near Ponyville.” He was actually struggling not to yell, but whenever his Godson was involved, it’s time for Mama Bear to come out. Nightmare approves that he was in control, because it was somewhat reminiscent to her lighter side... “ I looked for him all night in that damned forest, but when he wasn’t there, I thought he wasn’t in the forest and in the nearby town outside it.” After he finished the last sentence, Harry was only a few inches from the Solar Diarch’s face, not caring about the intense heat she was giving out. Twilight was watching with horror at how her acquaintance was being disrespectful to her mentor and the most powerful Pony in the world. “ Do you have any idea what I had to do to protect my Godson from people who want to hurt him just to get to me? Thieves, grabby reporters, idiotic nobles, killers?” Some in the room gasped at the word ‘killer’. It wasn’t a term used lightly in a peaceful world, after all... Harry’s glare softened, but the serious look stayed, as he continued, “ If there was any choice, I would wipe out entire civilisations and the whole universe just to protect Teddy.” It was deathly quiet, as Celestia’s face didn’t show any emotion, making even Luna a bit nervous. After a few moments, the alabaster mare smiled, saying with a gentle tone, “ I know. It’s exactly how I would go about protecting my Ponies from harm.” Harry blinked as he backed away, slightly confused at the 180 turn in emotions. “ Princess?” The Solar Turned to Twilight, who had a nervous expression. “ Hm?” She replied. Twilight fiddled with her hands for a moment, before gathering the courage to ask. “ You would do that? K-kill I mean, just to protect everypony?” Celestia smiled more warmly, “ Yes Twilight, I would. It is a last resort, which is why I try and reason with threats instead, because ” Harry felt himself calm down more at the contact of Teddy putting a hand in his, squeezing lightly. Celestia turned back to Harry, “ You’re a good father, even though you are young. You seem to have a natural talent in what to say that has meaning to those around you, to make them listen to what you have to say, as if it was instinct.” She stretched out a hand, smiling slyly. “ I believe that we will get along well.” She continued. Harry, at the gentle prodding of his Godson poking him in the side, he reluctantly gripped Princess Celestia’s hand and lightly kissed the middle knuckle. It surprised Celestia, a small tinge of pink in her cheeks showing, but felt a bit giddy inside. Luna smirked, feeling Nightmare snicker and plot mischievously about teasing her older sister about this. Teddy grinned as he saw the look of surprise on everyone else’s face, including the Changeling Queens who were blushing as well. Ya know, since they can sense emotions and all… Harry let go of the Solar Diarch’s hand, clearing his throat and straightened his black vest. “ I agree, Your Highness.” He replied, still somewhat tense after what he done so carelessly without thinking. Celestia smirked, causing Chrysalis and her children, to shudder and become weak in the knees at the emotion she sensed in the Sun Princess. “ Please Mister Potter, call me Celestia.” The stallion smirked back, ignoring that a couple of Chrysalis’s Changelings were giggling at the two. “ As long as you call me Harry, Celestia.” Oh yes, things are about to get interesting with Mister Potter around… *A Few Hours Later* Harry sat on the stairs of the main entrance of Canterlot Castle, looking up at the starlit sky, a look of longing in his eyes as he thought of the people back home that he left behind. “ Sirius… Tonks… Moony… Hermione… Ginny… Ron… I am sorry that I left you all so suddenly…” He whispered into the night, a feeling of quilt panging into his heart, a tear beginning to trickle down his cheek. “ I know that it will hurt now that I'm gone, but…” He wiped the tear away, taking a breath to try and calm his breaking heart at the thought of his friends and wife not with him. It's been a long time since he actually cried, ever since Sirius's death by his deranged cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange… “ But…” he continued, swallowing the lump in his throat, “ But I don't want you all to worry about me. Live your lives to the fullest, Mione, Ron, raise as many kids as possible, Ginny… Love, I don’t want you to be miserable over my absence, do the right thing and change the world, move on from me and find someone who can actually give you what you need, not some iconic ‘hero’ who doesn’t know what the bloody hell he’s doing half the time!.” He then slapped himself up side of the head, a feeling of guilt that was bottled from earlier roaring through him like a torrent of fire. “ I’m so sorry Ginny... I failed as a man, failed as a husband, failed as a father… I can’t believe that... I don’t know if I’ll be able to get back to you to make things right for my actions… You deserve better… I’ve gone and done a idiotic thing again... When I met someone else, I’ve gone and claimed her as my Lover! I mean, who in the world would just go and do that!?” Harry took a breath to calm down from ranting, then continued. “ Me, apparently…” He talked into the sky, not knowing he had an audience, hiding in the shadows. “ Maybe… Just maybe… we'll meet on the Next Great Adventure… And begin working for the forgiveness I don’t deserve for what I did...” He finished, voice cracking at the end. Harry put his head in his hands, shoulders trembling as his body curled up into a sitting ball, his mind breaking down from the past few days getting to him. He stayed like that for a minute, not knowing that someone was sitting next to him... Before a voice spoke up beside him, making the stallion jump. “ Prongslet, you are never alone.” Harry quickly got out of the ball with the instincts of a cat, and whipped his head to the right, before his eyes widened… He said one word, just one… … … … “Sirius…” Author's Note Welp, Chapter 06 Is DONE!!! Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I liked making it, and if you think the Princesses are OOC, DEAL WITH IT! Trust me, there are worse stories out there. What do ya think about Sirius appearing? Anyways... Sorry for taking a while to update, I've been getting writer's block, the bane of an author's existence, but I am slowly getting ideas on how to make the story progress... Like making Harry an Alicorn soon... Until Next Time... TOODLES!!! Up Next: Godfather To Godson...
Chapter 07: Godfather to Godson…Chapter 07: Godfather to Godson… “Sirius…” Harry whispered, staring at the man next to him. Sirius Orion Black looked the same, except that he was a unicorn stallion like him with a greenish coat of fur, with the same raggedy hairstyle that went down to his shoulders, and beard is the same. His clothing looked the same as when he fell through the Veil Of Death in the Department Of Mysteries. He smiled at him, “ Hello Harry. Long time no see.” Harry gaped at the stallion next to him, “What, how, who?” The stallion croaked out, feeling faint a bit. Sirius chuckled, the noise snapping the younger stallion out of his shocked trance, speaking. “ How am I here? Well, it's not the Resurrection Stone I'll tell you that, nor am I a Changeling or hallucination.” Harry's jaw clenched, feeling confusion and slight frustration well up within him, not just because of what he just went through, but the fact that his Godfather was still alive without any reason on how... “ Then how the bloody hell are you here?!” After jumping to his feet and pacing for a moment, the young stallion pointed his finger at his assumed Godfather, “ I saw you fall in the Veil!” Sirius only held up a hand, stalling him from saying more, “ Yes, yes I did. But tell me Harry… What IS the Veil?” Harry thought long and hard about that answer for a moment… Sirius continued, a smirk on his face at the sight of his Godson's brain gears steaming. “ It was a portal, the only reason no one told anybody else about it is because?...” He trailed off, waiting for something. “ ...Is because no one came back through.” Harry finished, sitting back down on the steps next to Sirius, “ Who else is here?” Sirius tapped a finger to his chin, thinking for a moment, before answering, “ I honestly don’t know if anyone came to this universe. Granted, there is a one in a million shot that Voldemort himself came through. But if he did, you could've just easily kicked his ass again.” He then shrugged his shoulders, a look in his eyes suggest he is older than he really is, which was a cause for concern to Harry. “ I tried for a long time, Prongslet. But I couldn't find a way back home to you. I went a little mad once I found out I couldn't leave.” Sirius said, his shoulders slumped a bit in regret. Then he straightened up, smiling widely. “ Then... You found your way here, Harry. You and your Godson, Teddy. I… I can finally have the chance to be the Godfather you need… That I neglected to be due to my idiocy all those years ago...” Harry smiled back, eyes watering once again. He did remember the promise Sirius gave him back in Third Year, when he found out Sirius was his Godfather and not his parents’ alleged murderer... Sirius noticed the tears beginning to fall, he adjusted his sitting position, then wrapped his arms around the young stallion, squeezing a bit as Harry let the waterworks go. “ It's ok Harry, it's ok , I'm here for ya. I'm not going anywhere.” Harry wrapped his arms around his Godfather as well. After the two held each other for a full ten minutes, before Sirius let go of his Godson, wiping the tears from the young stallion's eyes. “ See? I'm real. If I wasn't, would I be able to hold you and comfort you?” Harry nodded, sniffling and taking breaths to calm down. “You really ARE, Padfoot.” He spoke, his voice hoarse from crying. Sirius then grinned roguishly, clapping his hand onto Harry's right shoulder. “ Good. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to flirt with those birds called Princesses.” Harry snorted, imagining his Godfather trying to flirt with Nightmare Moon. “ Now, Harry.” Sirius said, steepling his fingers and crossing his leg over the other, “ Let's talk about other things, say like… How to please a Nightmare in bed?” If Harry was drinking something at that moment, he would've done the most epic spit take in the history if Equestria since Celestia with a barrel of water… Instead he choked on his spit, coughing harshly for a moment before glaring at the grinning stallion. “ We are not like that, Sirius. We’ve only just met for Merlin's sake!” Harry exclaimed. The older stallion just continued grinning, then replied with a single sing-song tone in it, “ Ah, but you didn't deny it~” Harry only responded by giving him the bird, causing Sirius to bark with laughter… Harry followed after, holding his sides as they ached in pain from the laughter… After both of them calmed down, Sirius smirked and laid on his back, staring up at the night sky. Then a voice called out from inside the castle, startling Harry and Sirius from their comfortable silence. “ Dad! Where are you?” Sirius clapped a hand on Harry’s shoulder, smiling as he got to his feet. “ Welp, I best be getting home, don’t want the missus to be angry at me n’ all.” Harry jumped up and practically tackled the older stallion, holding him tightly, “ Please, don’t go, Sirius.” He croaked out. He just got his Godfather back, if only he could bring everyone else, including Ginny and his parents, he would find a way to do so... Sirius only patted Harry on the head, and gently pried him off, saying, “ Harry, what did I tell ya? I’m not going anywhere anytime soon, I’m just going home for the night.” Harry stammered, a little bit confused, “ But…” “ DAD!?” Said Teddy’s voice, getting closer and louder. With a sigh, Harry ran a hand through his unruly black mane, making it even more of a mess than trying to tame it. Sirius chuckled, “ Your father did that all the time whenever he was stressed or nervous.” Harry, despite knowing he might never see Sirius again, chuckled along. “ I’ll see you soon, yeah?” He whispered to him. Sirius smirked, “ Well of course you would, pup! Otherwise you would’ve gone mad with grief like I did.” Harry walked up the stairs, waving his hand in goodbye while he heard Teddy’s footsteps on the linoleum floors of the castle. He stopped just at the doors, and smiled at Sirius over his shoulder, before walking in and shutting the big brass door with ease. Then it was just Sirius who stood there in the Royal Gardens, smiling at the twinkling stars of Luna’s night... Then he spoke to the air in a whisper, “ Ah Harry, with you and the lil’ squirt around, things will get a lot more hectic than when I tried to take over the world a long time ago...” Then he held up a hand and snapped his fingers, and disappeared in a flash of light… Reappearing into a dimension that was all sorts of… ...Chaos... Author's Note Now that you know how Sirius is gonna be in the story... What do you think about the shipping that might ensue soon??? I apologize about the OCness of Harry and some other characters, but I am just going what I imagine will happen... It's not gonna be a harem, it's gonna be mainly Nightmare x Harry, Luna x Chrysalis, Teddy x Amethyst ( Cause of the age), and Dislestia… If you don't like the way the shipping is, then DON'T READ!!! Anyways, See you all in the next chapter! TOODLES!!! Next Up: Galas & Dragons...
Chapter 08: Galas & Dragons...Chapter 08: Galas & Dragons… It has been a few weeks since Harry and Teddy arrived in Equestria, settling in to the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters, getting to KNOW the Royal Pony Sisters. There has been some light flirting here and there between Teddy and Amethyst though, which gave Harry a REALLY bad image in his head for long term futures… As for Harry, he and Celestia talk about how to protect Equestria better, especially with his opinions on their defences and how to make them better or upgraded without a way to have problems sneak into her and Luna’s country. Luna and Harry talk at night about the stars, about the tales of monsters they fought, their personal demons among other things… Then the announcement was made… The Grand Galloping Gala was to be held in the Royal Ballroom in the Castle, where all sorts of nobles could converse with the common ponies (in their eyes, anyway…), where there’s music and dancing and food… It reminded Harry of the Yule Ball in his fourth year, once again… But this time there was no way he was gonna be stepping on anyone’s toes, not with the dancing lessons Fleur and Fancy Pants gave him a few days back, when they found out he couldn’t dance… His suit looked even more sharp looking than the one he wore everyday, ever since he arrived… The dress shirt was a dark red, and his jacket was black with green, blue, and white trimmings, with a pair of black silk slacks that felt like Acromantula silk… But there was no way that his Godfather had conveniently found some in his attic...Right?... Anyways… His shoes were steel toed and shined up, sparkling slightly in Celestia’s sunshine. Harry’s unruly black hair was the same as it was, just grown out into a slightly tamed mullet, which was the style he liked since if he could just tie his hair into a tail if he was in the mood for it. There was a knock on the door, and Harry called out as he finished doing his “ Come in!” The door opened behind him and in the reflection of the full body mirror standing in front of him, his Godson’s head poked in, wearing a smaller version of what Harry was wearing, except that the shirt was blue with a purple vest and jacket, wearing the same slacks Sirius gave him, and the shoes were red converse, with a bit of black outlining the frame. “ Dad, the dance is about to start!” Said Teddy, a look of nervousness and excitement in his eyes. He has been like that ever since he asked Amethyst to the Gala a week ago, with chocolates, flowers and everything… It was sweet, amusing, and heartwarming now that you think about it… Harry smirked at how Teddy was like him when he was younger, except that his Godson was 10, almost 11 years old in a few months, since according to the Equestrian Calendar, it was in the middle of June, and Teddy’s birthday is at the end September. He spoke, “ You’re looking sharp, kiddo. Is Amethyst with you, or is she waiting for you to escort her to the ballroom?” From the redness in Teddy’s cheeks, he apparently didn’t think of that, causing Harry to chuckle in amusement. All was well for Harry… The Royal Ballroom was a room that was the size of the Great Hall in Hogwarts, but without the long four tables taking up the space, but there were sun and moon tapestries hanging from the ceiling, along with a couple hearts here and there. He hadn’t met Cadence apparently… Maybe I can make a chapter on that...Hmm… The place was crowded with Nobles from the city of Canterlot, along with a couple of people from Ponyville and Cloudsdale, as well as the rest of Gaia. There were Griffins, Minotaurs, Seaponies, Changelings, Yaks, Buffalo, there were so many that it makes MY head hurt… Harry walked down a set of stairs that wound down into the ballroom, trying his best to not fidget and run a hand through his hair. She should be here… He thought to himself as he leaned against the rails of a small foyer, looking out over the whole entire room, watching the citizens of Canterlot mingle with each other and delegates. He was pulled from his thoughts by a voice speaking up next to him, “ It is a wonderful sight, is it not?” Harry looked to the right and saw Nightmare Moon leaning against the rail next to him, wearing a tight blue dress that hugged her curves in all the right places, the neckline dipping between her C Cup breasts. She was wearing eyeshadow, red lipstick that made her already plump lips stick out more against her black-as-night coat ( Ha, see what I did there?), and was wearing a couple of crescent moon earrings, along with a red gemstone that looked like the philosopher's stone that he tried to protect from Voldemort in his First Year of Hogwarts. It was a bit revealing, but still more than decent… But… Damn... Harry James Potter... You are one lucky bastard… She was looking out to the crowd with him, her starry purple mane slightly billowing in an unforeseen wind that the Alicorns only seem to possess, not minding the fact that he was staring at her… Anyways, Harry averted his eyes from the… mesmerising sight and looked back out to the crowd, smiling lightly. Now, I know what you might be thinking, how the hell did Nightmare Moon become his date for the Grand Galloping Gala? Well... It happened last night… *FLASHBACK STARTS* ( Harry was walking down the corridors of Canterlot Castle, looking around at the architecture of what must be at least as old as Hogwarts stonework. He was alone, since he just tucked Teddy into bed a few minutes ago and wasn’t feeling tired. He decided to talk a walk in the middle of the night, not knowing that he was being followed… It was only a minute after he finished looking in the hallway, did a voice speak up behind him, causing him to eject his wand out of it’s am holster, and aim at the source, his reflexes kicking in as he did so. After catching sight of the person who spoke, he lowered the Elder Wand and relaxed his muscles. Nightmare Moon watched him with a raised eyebrow, and an amused look twinkling in her serpentine eyes. She was wearing her silver armor that looked less dented and worn out than before, in case you were just imagining her in the nude, which I don’t blame you… Anyways… She spoke, her tone filled with laughter. “ Well, I’ve had greetings that were worse than that, Harry Potter.” Harry couldn’t help but snort at that sentence, slipping the Elder Wand back into the arm holster. He did try and have Death take The Hallows back, but she refused him, saying that they were gifts to her Master, and can be brilliant tools in case he needs them, the Elder Wand for defense and offense, The Resurrection Stone to bring back the dead and get information, and the Invisibility Cloak for OBVIOUS reasons… ... Get your minds out of the gutters, you pervs… “ Yeah, well, I apologize for my jumpiness, it’s because I…” He was interrupted by Nightmare. “ Don’t trust us? Or because of the hell that you’ve gone through your whole life?” Harry blinked at her, slightly shocked at what Nightmare knew what was gonna be said before he did. “ How…?” The Mare In The Moon smirked, her canine shining in Luna’s moonlight. Somehow it gave him a different reaction instead of the fear that it must cause others at the sight of it… “ Because of your dreams, Mister Potter. Luna and I saw them as I was making sure no bad dreams plague your sleep. Luna took care of our other subjects in Equestria.” The stallion thought that over for a moment, So that’s why I haven’t had nightmares in a few days! He thought to himself. “ I want to say thank you for helping, but at the same time I want to yell at you for the invasion of my privacy.” He said. Nightmare Moon slyly smirked back, replying, “ You can invade my privacy at any time.” Swaying her hips even more as she sauntered up to him, walking past him. The gears in his head whirled as he broke down what she last said, before turning beet red at the image. Then he got an idea… He turned around at the Alicorn. “ Well, why not go to the Gala with me? I promise I won’t do anything untowards you, m’lady.” Harry said, his voice echoing throughout the hall. Nightmare Moon stopped, turning around with wide eyes filled with slight surprise. Well, that answer was not what I expected. She thought to herself, before answering Harry. “ I accept, Mister Potter. Don’t be late.” Before she turned around and began walking again. When she turned the corner and disappeared, Harry sighed… Then he jumped into the air mouthing “YES!”) *FLASHBACK ENDS* When the light faded from the flashback, Harry and Nightmare were on the dance floor, twirling elegantly and being the eye catching pair of the entire night… The Changeling Queens, who were standing at the edges of the room and talking to other foreign delegates as well as each other at how cute the two looked together. Nightmare Moon and Harry Potter didn’t notice as they stared into each other's eyes, serpentine turquoise meeting with bright emerald green in a form of combat. “ You are an excellent dancer, Mister Potter. Wherever did you learn?” Nightmare said in a low whisper. From what she saw in his memories, Harry wasn’t a great dancer, and that was due to the fact of his time at the Dursleys, which made Nightmare’s blood boil at the thought of that damned cupboard under the stairs, he kept stepping on everyone’s toes at the one dance he went in his whole life called the Yule Ball, and he SUCKED at it. But now… He seemed to have done this for YEARS, if the graceful movements were any indicator… “ Well… Fleur and Fancy Pants taught me in a few days, when the Gala was announced and found out I wasn’t a good dancer. They just gave me a couple of pointers and my body seems to do the rest.” He replied, shrugging his shoulders with a sheepish look in his eyes as he twirled Nightmare around and then dipping her back. It was breathtaking for her… After lifting Nightmare back up to normal, they continued to dance, some mares were glaring in envy at Nightmare, who looked to be a normal unicorn mare with a black coat and purple mane, her serpentine eyes were hidden behind a pair of regular turquoise ones. The two began to move closer to the other as time went on, and when they were a few inches from each other’s faces, an explosion went off, causing a rumble of panic and screams to emanate from everyone in the room. Harry and Nightmare pulled back from each other and Harry looked around with a sharp eye, grabbing his Elder Wand from his holster, ready for a fight. Nightmare conjured an orb of lightning to compress into her hand, pressing their backs to each other. But there was a roar that shook the castle and a giant head with scales crashed through the ballroom wall. When he saw the maw full of sharp teeth, his instincts told him to fire a stunner immediately, which Harry did so, casting the spell silently. Oh, you didn't know? Yeah, he can fire spells including the Avada Kedavra which even Voldemort couldn't do… When the red bolt of magic hit the snout of the black dragon, it's attention was diverted from trying to eat a small group of Nobles, and towards him. It was glaring at him like the Hungarian Horntail Nesting Mother from the First Task… Filled with Determination, Harry fired a Bombarda at the scaly and muscular neck, but it didn't do much except pissing it off even more. Nightmare shot her hand forward towards the dragon and the orb got turned into a beam of electrical energy, striking the burly chest of the large dragon, causing it to roar in pain. When she was about to do so again, the dragon's spiked tail caught her in the side, sending the Alicorn flying across the room. Her dress disappeared and covering her now was the armor she always wore, the glamour wearing off as her wings spread wide and flapped to keep herself in the air. Nightmare charged back at the dragon, firing beams of magic at it, while Harry tried to get the nearby civilians out if the area. When Harry was about to join the fight once again, he heard a cry of pain come from the hole in the wall, catching his attention. The cry came from Chrysalis, who was trapped beneath a large chunk of rubble, trying to escape. It was too heavy for her, he knew, that if he didn't hurry, the weight of the rubble would crush her lungs… He sprinted towards the downed Changeling Queen, avoiding random bolts of lightning that came from Nightmare as she attacked the dragon head-on, keeping it distracted. He slid to his knees and gripped the edge of the rubble, pulling up with all of his might, and Chrysalis pushed as much as she could. When the rubble begin to shift, a large shadow looked over them and he looked up. The dragon was glaring down at them, Nightmare was knocked out against the far wall with a couple of singes to her armor and fur. Harry tensed, knowing that if he didn't get Chrysalis out of here, she would die… … And it would cause a war between the Changelings and the Dragon Kingdom… Knowing he might die, Harry pulled with as much strength in his muscles as he could, groaning with pain as his muscles tore. But he kept pulling, ignoring the pain and kept himself thinking to save Chrysalis, who looked at him with a sense of awe as she felt the weight if the rubble lighten every second. The rubble lifted high enough for Chrysalis to scoot out, her emerald green dress was ripped and torn in places, a couple of bleeding scratches from the stone caused the Queen to hiss in pain, then forced herself to hurry as she saw that the dragon opened its mouth and the throat was glowing brightly, indicating that it was about to fire. As soon as Chrysalis was out from under the rubble, Harry let go of the heavy piece of stonework and used what little strength he had and magically pushed Chrysalis ten feet away from him, causing her to fall on her plump backside. Then a torrent of hot flames descended upon him with the power of a thousand suns… Princess Celestia watched as her golden battle armor appeared on her body, a feeling of helplessness wrung from within her as the Solar Diarch's noticed what Harry was doing. She was just returning from evacuating the guests to the bunker underground when she saw Nightmare Moon getting knocked out from the dragon hitting her with a backhanded SMACK, hitting the wall and falling to the ground. Celestia was about to fly towards Harry and the trapped Chrysalis when he pushed the Changeling Queen away, and the beam of flames that came out of the dragon's mouth and into where the stallion stood. Horror filled the Sun Princess and she fell to her knees, the strength that was roaring within her got snuffed out. She felt Luna land alongside her, her dark blue battle armor just appearing as well… She saw Chrysalis cover her face at how bright the flames were since she was closer than the two Rulers… Nightmare just came to and she screamed, “NO!” in horror. She just figured out what happened… When the flames died down, all that was left of Harry, was the Elder Wand, somehow still intact and in the fingers of the smoking skeleton that laid on the ground, in the middle of the scorched crater. The dragon inspected it's work and began chuckling, it's rumbling laugh echoed throughout the room. Then it was interrupted by snapping fingers, and in a flash of light, stood Sirius Black in the same attire from when he sat next to Harry that one night… And he looks PISSED as he took in the scene… Celestia and the other two Alicorns and Changeling Queen looked at the man in confusion before he spoke. “ That was my Godson you just killed, you bastard.” He hissed, his normal grey eyes changing to fierce red. Celestia gasped as she heard the voice… It was all too familiar… “ Discord.” She whispered, the name spoke of power and it filled the room with the mere mention of it. Sirius---Discord, turned to the Alicorns, his red eyes filled to the brim with rage and the whites turned into a sickly yellow. “ Hello Tia. I wish I could say if you would ask to dance, but frankly, we have other problems right now.” The Spirit of Chaos turned back to the dragon, who was firing another blast of flames at where he stood, but teleported out of the way. “ Now, I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me a helping hand!” He said as he fired an orb at the charging dragon as it tried to eat him, causing it to screeched in pain as it hit. The Solar Diarch snapped out of her daze and turned to her younger sister, who seemed to do the exact same and both nodded their heads. Celestia fired a beam of pure sunlight at the left wing of the dragon, who screeched in pain as it's appendage was burned to a crisp. Luna made a crescent scythe appear and charged in from the air at high speeds, swinging as she dodged the flames with ease, causing a couple of scratches on the scaled armor. Nightmare, after getting up from her position on the wall, charged directly at the dragon with a warcry, a large silver sword appearing in her hand, swinging with serpentine eyes filled with rage… … and grief… It was a fight worthy in the history books as the three Alicorns and Chaos Spirit fought the dragon, causing it to become injured more and more… The dragon suddenly threw a torrent of flames at Luna, who collided with a nearby beam that was dangling off the ceiling... It then stomped on the ground, causing a large shockwave to emanate from that and caused Celestia and Nightmare to go flying across the room... Sirius tried to freeze it into a ice cube, but got hit by the spiked tail of the dragon, holding his side in pain as it cracked a rib, and his magic was low, so he couldn't heal it and get back into the fight immediately... Nightmare got slapped again and landed between the two injured Alicorns, moaning in pain as her muscles ached in severe pain… Chrysalis, who joined the fight, was trying to get into it's mind and control it, but got smacked by a claw that sent her flying into a wall, falling unconscious… The dragon full on let out a booming laugh as it stomped to the pile of Alicorns, while Sirius tried to fire another orb of Chaos Magic at it to keep it away from them. Nightmare Moon glared in defiance at the dragon looking above her and the two she calls sisters, as the dragon spoke, “ You ponies are such a puny race! you don't deserve to rule lands, you all will bow before me, Thor Odinson! I will claim my place as king of Gaia and destroy every single creature that you love!” At that declaration, Thor inhaled and opened his mouth, his throat glowing, ready to fire the killing blow… Nightmare wrapped her unconscious sisters, closing her eyes with a tear trickling down her cheek… In all of her existence, she never regretted anything, But... She never even had the chance to tell Harry how she felt… Ever since he arrived the Stallion caught her eye for some reason, whether if he has a heart of gold, a disregard for safety like the guards in the old days, or something else entirely… Now it is too late… … THUMPTHUMP... He’s dead... … THUMPTHUMP... The dragon was ready to do the killing blow that will potentially cripple the society of Ponykind… “Never Again...” Whispered a voice, so quiet, yet it echoed throughout the entire chamber... Suddenly, a powerful green beam shot out from behind Thor, striking him in the back. He roared in immense pain, causing Nightmare, Celestia, and Luna to snap their eyes open and look at the source of that beam. Nightmare's eyes widened… “ That is not possible…” She whispered out. Author's Note Ooh~ What do you think happens next? Hope you all enjoyed the chapter as I enjoyed writing it! Lemme know in the comments if there are grammar errors or if you want something added into it to make the story even JUCIER... Anyways, I might not put any affection between Harry and Nightmare, because I SUCK at emotions... But I'll try my best, but NO CLOP! You guys can imagine it in your own time! Next Up: Explanations...
Chapter 09: The Master Of DeathChapter 09: The Master Of Death The large beam of magic was coming from the Elder Wand, being held by Harry James Potter… He looked to be normal, his attire is the same for the Gala... But half his face was missing, the tissue and blazing green eye was glaring at the dragon with rage… Harry James Potter is alive… And severely PISSED off... Nightmare Moon, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, watched as the man who got melted into a skeleton from the dragonfire, stand as if he didn’t just burn to death… Harry only glanced at the group of Alicorns for a second before turning to the glaring dragon, shouting with indignation, “ Hey ugly! That was a cheap shot!” He then began charging at the dragon, using his Elder Wand to spell-chain stinging hexes to full on Killing Curses, using his free hand to wandlessly push the mares out of the way as he did so. Thor roared at the stallion that he tried to kill and began to charge at him in return, claw fully opened and ready to end this… Harry skidded under the soft underbelly of the dragon and began firing heavy and dark cutting curses like Sectumsempra, and cuts of all sizes began appearing in the soft scales as he slid out from under the dragon with his momentum. He then pushed against the wall with his feet and went flying back at Thor, who turned around and shot more fire at him from his mouth. Harry used Protego Maxima and the flames engulfed him, the shield charm protecting him from getting turned into a crisp. It was only a few seconds until Harry disappeared in the torrent of flames, once again. Thor kept the flames up for a second before stopping, looking smug at killing the annoying pest of a pony… “ Yeah, nice try, but I’m not an idiot.” Said Harry as he apparated a few feet above the dragon, firing a heavy stinging hex that collided with Thor’s left eye, causing the scaled beast to roar in pain. Harry tried to apparate again, but found pink fleshy walls surrounding him… Thor’s jaws slammed around where Harry was and turned to glare at the downed Alicorns, raising a scaled hand with sharp claws, ready to finish what he started... Then Thor suddenly stopped and began choking, a bulge in his throat moving downwards as the dragon tried to hack up the intruder. Then he began screeching in pain, holding his chest as a glow began to emanate within his chest cavity, glowing red… Then the dragon's chest exploded outward, a spray of blood and gore flew out, coating some of the walls along with fire spewing out from the hole. Thor fell onto his back, twitching every few moments, choking on his own blood… The scaled lizard never moved again… Then the hole in the dragon's chest expanded outwards and out came the stallion who was dead a few minutes ago, covered in blood and small pieces of flesh. “ Well… That was fun…” Harry said, panting a bit at how much energy he used. It felt like he was being ran over by the Knight Bus a hundred times over… Then a pair of arms wrapped around him, causing Harry to freeze for a moment before recognising the coat color. Nightmare Moon was squeezing him tightly, for the first time feeling great and pure relief that he was ok, a couple of tears rolled down her cheeks in joy. Then she did something that surprised everyone, including Nightmare herself… She kissed him, full on the lips… The Changelings that were just now congregating into the room to help, felt that and tongues lolled out with pure ecstasy of the love that was filling the room. Celestia blinked at the suddenness of Nightmare’s action, and Luna felt her cheeks turn red as they watched. Chrysalis felt herself go dazed as the wave of emotions hit her full on, causing a light moan to come out of her mouth as her eyes rolled up into bliss as she absorbed the energy to heal from the, frankly, one-sided fight. After a few moments, Nightmare and Harry pulled back, The stallion looking a little dazed at what just happened, before Nightmare snorted, causing him to snap out of it. “ Whu…” He only began replying before falling unconscious, Nightmare catching him in her arms. The Mare In The Moon blinked down at the unconscious male for a moment, before looking at the Alicorns and Changeling Queen with a deadpan expression on her face. “ That is not the reaction I expected...” She said, her tone flat. Luna couldn’t help but snort, despite the situation they were in a few minutes ago. Discord woke up a few seconds later, staring at the scene of Nightmare holding his Godson, before grinning. That’s my boy. He thought as he grabbed Celestia’s offered hand that was lowered into view, an expression on her face that he can’t read. We’ll get to that later my dear author. He thought to himself as he felt his energy levels rise to a nominal state. The Spirit Of Chaos floated over to the two and gently picked up Harry bridal style from Nightmare, whose head tilted into his chest, making him smile gently, remembering the first time he saw Harry last… He was a baby back then… So much time lost…Idiotic decisions made... Sirius internally shook his head from his dark thoughts and set the unconscious Man-Who-Conquered down on the gurney that was being maneuvered by a couple of nurses from the Royal Hospital Wing. He followed the nurses being led by Celestia and Luna, Nightmare running along the gurney with an intense expression on her face, pretty determined to get Harry medical attention as well as be by his side as he recovers from what made him still alive from Thor’s barrage of fire. Chrysalis stayed behind and told the events of what happened to the guests as well as her sisters… Teddy held Amethyst in a comforting hug as they heard about what happened in the ballroom, after the evacuation… … Including the death and sudden resurrection of Harry... The Royal Guards brought in unicorn specialists to clean up the gigantic mess the dragon caused... The body of Thor itself was thrown into the largest volcano far away in Equestria with a scary looking eye floating above it... Needless to say... It was one HELLUVA night for all involved… Author's Note I AM DONE WITH THAT CHAPTER!!! FUCKING FINALLY!!! I apologize for the delays, but there was SO much going on, but I DID IT!!! Hope you all enjoyed the chapter as I did! Will Nightmare and Harry's sudden relationship take a great turn later on? Will Celestia finally talk to Discord? Will Luna find something in common with Chrysalis? Will Teddy and Amethyst have 'FUN'? SO many questions, so little time!!! Next up: Meet Thyself…
Chapter 10: Meet Thyself...Chapter 10: Meet Thyself… Darkness was all Harry Potter saw… The void that he saw was nothing but black, like a moonless night… It was terrifying, because it looked like it was trying to suck him in and leave nothing behind in the realm of reality… Harry shook his head and looked behind him, where instead of darkness, there was the familiar chamber room where he first met Lady Death, but it was empty… Odd… He walked around the chamber, trying to see if there were any clues as to how he got here. The last thing he remembered was killing that dragon, the one that roasted him into a crisp… And he came back to life somehow... … Is this what it feels to be Master Of Death? Immense Healing and Immortality?! He began pacing the room, his fists clenching and unclenching behind his back as his vision grew red with the implications that he could never die… And the feeling of helplessness once again that if he truly was immortal, he could never age and see everyone he cared for ( Which was Teddy and probably the Mane Six as well as the Princesses), die because they weren’t immortal... Feeling frustrated at the way Lady Fate seemed to screwing him over once again, he grabbed a nearby vase and threw it in the direction of the void, yelling, “ GODDAMMIT! WHY?!” He ranted as he kept throwing and destroying stuff as he took his lifetime full of anger on objects. WHY CAN’T I JUST BE NORMAL FOR ONCE?! ALL I WANTED WAS A HAPPY LIFE!” Then a voice spoke up from behind him, “ Then that would mean that you’ll be the same as all the rest, Mister Potter.” Harry whirled around, emerald eyes blazing with fire, before blinking in confusion. Sitting on a chair that was in the corner of the room, untouched by his frustrated rampage, was an old man, not like Dumbledore, but looked to be older than that. The light seemed to make the man’s silvery white hair shine like pearls in water, his clothing consisted of black attire that vaguely reminded him of Severus Snape, what with the black trousers and buttoned up shirt… But there was something familiar about him… But Harry can’t put his finger on it… Maybe it was because of the eyes, the same eyes he saw whenever he was looking into a mirror… Older than the rest of him… That had seen so many wars, so much death… “ Because that would make you the same as everyone else, pretending to be something you’re not…” Harry opened his mouth to say something, but the stranger flicked a finger, and he couldn’t even get the words out through his throat. “ I’m not finished…” The old man said, green eyes twinkling with amusement. Waitaminute… Green eyes… Now that Harry focused on the eyes more, he found they seemed to be the same shade as his, but more worn out with time… He felt the magic that was slightly constricting his throat that prevented him from speaking, he whispered, tensed up and ready for a fight if necessary. “ Who are you?” The older man smirked, a smirk that was so familiar to him. “ Haven’t you already figured that out, Harry? I’m YOU.” The younger Harry sat down at the opposite couch, very shocked at what he saw… Is this what I’ll look like if I didn’t take the Hallows?” He asked, his voice hoarse as his mind tried to wrap around the complications of two people in the same room. Sure there was the Time Turner… But that was a completely different ball game, where the people of the past didn’t See them… But here he is… Talking to his older self, without the universe imploding… His older self shook his head, seemingly to get rid of memories long past, and smiled, the wrinkled and pale lips upturned into a smile, “ I know that you’re thinking of the consequences of meeting yourself, but frankly, I don’t think that anything can go wrong with giving a little advice.” After he said this, Older Harry leaned forward, elbows on his knees and hands steepled under his chin, “ Because there will be darkness in the long road ahead, a storm’s brewing, a mare with a desperate need for help become corrupted with fake promises, a empire’s return, a love kindled and ablaze.” Then he smirked, mischief in his eyes, “ But you seemed to have skipped a few steps…” Younger Harry snorted, remembering the last scene was Nightmare kissing him… Apparently she was very good at that if it still made him pink now… Older Harry grinned, “ Ah Yes… Good ol’ Nighty… Was that when you killed the dragon? It’s been a long time since then…” His eyes grew mistful, as if going through centuries of memories… Younger Harry decided to get to the point, “ Why am I here? More to the point why are YOU here?” The Older Version of himself grinned. “ Blunt… But I’ll let it slide. Why you are here is because you passed out from the fight.” As he saw his younger self open his mouth to say something, he held up a hand and continued, “ But don’t worry, everyone is alright, there might be some bumps, scrapes and guts, but they are ok.” Then he sighed, “ Though I can not say the same for their emotional wellbeing.” It made Harry confused as he caught the sadness in the tone of his Older Self. “ Why? What are they worried about? I’m fine aren’t I? Otherwise I wouldn’t be talking to myself!” It was silent for a moment as Harry’s Future Self take a couple of breaths, as if to gather courage or to calm down, he didn’t know… Then his Older Self smiled, making Harry even more confused as he saw the shadows of the room come alive. “ They are currently trying to keep your condition stable, while your magic heals your body of any superficial injuries, like when Aunt Petunia shaved our head and it grew back the next morning… Remember that?” Harry was about to reply, when the shadows started screeching and whirling around the entire room, making Older Harry shoot a sad smile at his Younger Self. “ You’re waking up. Before I go. Tell her how you feel. Tell her that you’ll spend the rest of eternity with Nightmare and be honest, under no circumstances don’t hesitate to give her all the love you can. When the time comes…” He stopped for a second, then continued after a breath, “ When the time comes… Give her all the love you can in that gold heart of ours, do so just like Ginny, eh?” Harry sputtered, calling out to his Older Self as he started fading into nothing, “ W-wait! What do you---?” Then the shadows overcame his vision, cutting his sentence off… Author's Note I Am Sorry for the delay! I have been hit with the case of severe writer's block, and I just got back to this story! But I hope you enjoyed the way this chapter is, Lemme know if there are any grammar errors and stuff!!! Next Up: Waking Up & Questions...
Chapter 11: Waking UpChapter 11: Waking Up & Questions Harry woke up from his strange meeting with his future self on a bed, a familiar bed that made Harry internally groan in frustration… A Hospital Bed… Harry Potter’s bane of existence… After his vision cleared til it was less blurry than normal, he scrounges around on the end table that was next to his bed for his glasses... Only to be handed them by a white blob with rainbow colors… As soon as Harry got his glasses on, he saw that Princess Celestia was sitting in a chair next to his bed, with a tome in her hands, a pair of reading specs placed on the edge of her muzzle… “ I’m glad to see that you’re awake, Harry.” She said, a neutral tone in her voice, which caused Harry to become slightly worried about what happened that made him black out. After a few moments of uncomfortable silence, Harry spoke, his voice raspy from dehydration, “ What happened, Princess Celestia?” The alabaster Alicorn set the book down on the empty end table, and put away her specs, folding them up and placing them into her inner breast pocket of the white suit jacket she’s wearing. When she looked serious, it means something BAD happened… She contemplated something for a few more moments, before asking, “ Do you remember what happened last night, Harry?” At the shake of his head, Celestia sighed, rubbing the back of her neck to get the kinks and cramps out of staying in one position too long as she read a book. She then began explaining the details of the Grand Galloping Gala, how a bloodthirsty and arrogant dragon by the name of Thor crashed the party, literally and started to cause mayhem, trapping Queen Chrysalis in the process, then dying… It actually threw Harry for a loop every time he died and came back… It was HILARIOUS… “ I died again, didn’t I?” He murmured to himself, slightly embarrassed that his ‘Saving People Thing’ as Hermione called it got himself killed once again. It wasn’t like he constantly wanted to get himself killed whenever he wanted to save someone, it just… happens. Celestia’s eyes widened for a fraction of a second at that, before narrowing with the look that only Molly Weasley could pull whenever her children were about to get a stern talking to. “ What do you mean, ‘Again’?” She asked, her tone, even though it was gentle, there was the slight undertone of ‘ you-better-tell-me-everything-right-now, before-I-kill-you’, which made Harry flinch a little bit, his childhood memories of Aunt Petunia using the same tone with him whenever he was used as a scapegoat for Dudley’s bullying coming to the forefront in his mind. ...He’d rather not think about that right now… Apparently, Celestia caught that, and her light purple irises contracted a little at the small thought that cropped up in her mind. But she put the slight theory to the side for later, focusing on getting a straight answer from the Sun-Damned enigma that was Harry James Potter… Harry sighed, ruffling his messy hair in nervousness as he tried to think of a way to explain his immortality to the Sun Goddess. “ It’s because he’s immortal, Princess Celestia.” Said a voice. Harry and Celestia turned towards the open door and there stood Helphia. The Changeling Queen trotted into the room, her blood-red eyes that vaguely reminded Harry of Voldemort’s, were glowing in the dark. “ He was immortal when he first arrived in the castle, I could sense it and the scent of Death surrounding him.” After seeing Celestia tense, she added, “ Don’t worry, Celestia. He ain’t here to kill anyone. In fact…” Helphia sat down in a chair on the opposite of Celestia, on the other side of Harry’s bed, who watched the Queen with resignation, knowing that he wouldn’t be able to keep his immortality a secret any longer, enjoying that he was normal for a day and a night, before the dragon. “ He is the Master Of Death. The one true power that, from your everyday citizen to the darkest force in the land they wanted to achieve.” She looked into Harry’s green eyes and smirked lightly. “ How you came across this power without going mad, I might never know…” Her smirk turned into a smile, “ But I am eternally glad that it was you that obtained the Deathly Hallows, so they won’t fall into the wrong hands. Thank You.” Harry took a breath for a moment, and nodded his head, the feeling of trepidation washed over him as he explained how he obtained the Deathly Hallows, and how the Final Battle of Hogwarts went, then explained briefly of the prophecy he and Voldemort shared, and how the Dark Lord killed his parents but died trying to do the same thing to Harry himself when he was one year old. Celestia had a tear going down her left cheek, where neither Harry or Helphia could see it. The Solar Diarch’s mind put the pieces together as Harry very vaguely explained his home life with the Dursleys, making her gut grow hot with fury, a feeling she recognizes as her other side tried to break free of the seal Celestia placed a thousand years ago. It felt… different than the other times Daybreaker tried to break out of her prison; instead of just an urge to set aflame the entire world and rule over a pile of smoldering ash like every time, she just felt a motherly rage as she listened to Harry explain his life to both of them. Celestia planned to speak to Daybreaker...Tonight… … … … It gives you shivers, doesn’t it? After the last year of explaining the 2nd Wizarding War, Harry saw that Celestia’s left eye turned from a normal purple pupil to a fiery serpentine, glowing very dimly in the darkening room. It reminded Harry of Nightmare, who was pacing in Luna’s mindscape, trying to figure out a way to obtain a permanent body in the living world, and be by Harry’s side without having Luna near, taking up the Lunar Diarch’s time as well. Harry had thought he oughta talk to Nightmare next time he saw her, and explain the sudden kiss the night before at the ball after he killed Thor... Things are gonna get… Heated up next chapter… isn’t it?... Author's Note Sorry if it took me a long time to get back into the story, Life is being a bitch and I am still having writer's block, but don't worry, I am trying my best to make 1,000-word chapters for you to enjoy, and to make this story the largest I've made. What do you all think is gonna happen in the next chapter? Leave a comment down below on what you might think! Next Up: Blazing Passions... TOODLES!!!
Chapter 12: A Blazing Familial PassionChapter 12: A Blazing Familial Passion… The Halls of Canterlot Castle was eerily quiet. Too quiet… The only noise that disturbed the silence was the gentle breathing of Celestia, who was sitting Indian Style in the middle of a dark room, with black obsidian walls and iron flooring. The Solar Diarch inhaled through her nose, and out through her mouth. Her alabaster white body was sitting stiffly in one place, in the center of the massive chamber. As if waiting for something… Or someONE… The grandfather clock’s large hand struck midnight, and the bells chimed, echoing throughout the quiet castle in a looming sense of dread... It was silent in the chamber, silent as the-- Celestia’s eyes suddenly snapped open, and her purple eyes were changed into serpentine gold, leaking fire out of her sockets. Her dress changed into a molten colored set of full body armor, complete with gauntlets and helmet. Her rainbow-colored mane changed into an inferno of gold and red fire, whirling around her head in a hurricane of power. Her lips pulled back and her molars turned into ragged fangs, sharp enough to rip into flesh with ease. The fiery form of the Alicorn stood up and cracked her neck, grinning with malice. “ Hello, Celestia. So glad that you let me out, finally.” The ghostly form of Celestia sat in the same position in front of her, dipping her head. “ You do know what the reason I let you out is, correct?” Said the Solar Diarch. Daybreaker, who frowned lightly as she went through her other self’s memories, then nodding, “ Is it about the young man?” She said. The tone in her voice was very gentle, which was slightly surprising to Celestia. She nodded, “ Yes, it’s about Harry Potter. I am sure that you’ve heard of what he went through in his childhood?” She asked, her pale eyes dimming at the memory of Harry’s life story being told to her and Helphia, who used a passive aura to reveal any secrets Harry might’ve had in case he was a threat to her ponies. It was the opposite, wherever Harry came from, the world was against him. Daybreaker’s normally insane and malicious grin turned into an animalistic snarl, her gold irises glowing with rage that could be accustomed to Celestia’s own sun. “ Indeed.” She bit out, a small dollop of fire spewing from her mouth as she did so, “ If we ever meet these ‘Dursleys’, they shall know the true wrath of the sun!” Celestia snorted, getting her darker side’s attention, “ I agree with you on that, Day. Abuse is not tolerated, no matter what country or race of creature you’re born in. If we meet them, I will let you have your… fun.” She then smirked at the last sentence, “ I might even get Luna and Nightmare to join in.” Daybreaker grinned evilly, very eager to at least do SOME good with her abilities. The pyromaniac Alicorn then shook her head, her eyes boring into Celestia’s. “ What’s the plan for young Harry Potter, Celly? We can’t just very well ADOPT the man without his consent!” The Solar Diarch’s eyes turned cunning, catching Daybreaker with a sly smirk. “ Who says that I can’t very well just ask?” She said, her voice calm and slightly mischievous, even more than Discord could manage. Her darker self’s eyes widened for a moment, before tapping a finger to her chin. Then she nodded, grinning even more. “ If it doesn’t work out, At least I tried and he’ll know that I care--that we all care about him and Young Teddy. Even though it has been a couple of days since we met, I feel like I could trust him even with my darkest secret.” At this she shot a small playful glare at the smug entity, then continued, “ Harry has a way of words that makes everyone in the room pay attention and listen like I do and Teddy has that adorable naivety that makes me want to spoil him rotten.” Celestia said, leaning back a bit, sighing through her nostrils in weariness. The past few days have been hectic, isn’t it?... “Speaking of, How long will it take for me to be introduced to them? I wanted to meet Harry and Teddy ever since they arrived in the castle.” Daybreaker inquired with a tilt of her head. Celestia leaned back, her face one of pondering for a few moments, then nodded to herself on her decision. “ I will let you meet Harry using my body, in this chamber so the surroundings won’t get melted or charred. I will be in astral form and in plain view of Young Harry so he will know what’s going on. Teddy can be introduced later. Agreed?” Daybreaker nodded in immediate agreement, then smirked, “Nightmare seems to be taken by him. Mayhaps she is willing to share?” Celestia’s cheeks went pink, then spoke sternly, “ Day!” Her other self held up her hands in surrender, “ What Celly? Don’t tell me that you haven’t felt that pull as well? Your sister feels the same thing whenever he’s in the same room!” Celestia frowned, then her expression went dazed for a moment, imagining what it would be like, causing Daybreaker to snicker as she saw the images of her other self’s thoughts. Hook, line, and sinker. The evil side thought as she waited. Celestia shook herself of her thoughts and glared at Daybreaker playfully. “ I don’t see him as someone to court, Day! I see him as…” Celestia trailed off, her heart almost stopping at the realization. “ As a kid in need of a mother.” Daybreaker finished her sentence, smiling lightly without showing her fangs. Celestia felt a pang of sadness at the word ‘mother’, and remembered that Harry’s mother, Lily Potter nee Evans, died before he got to know her. She didn’t want to feel like a replacement mother for someone who’s already grown up without parents, and relatives who hate his guts. Daybreaker sighed in annoyance at the thoughts running through her other half’s brain and spoke. “ I feel it too. You feel that you should do everything in your power to protect him from danger, even though he’s an adult.” Daybreaker got up to her feet and put a hand gently on Celestia’s transparent shoulder, “ I feel that as well, I can also feel that he can take care of himself, because from what I can glean from your memories, he had a rough life and is stronger because of it.” Daybreaker smiled more genuinely, “ He has a Godson, and is doing a remarkable job of raising him on his own. He might not be part of the family, but I know that he feels grateful that you, Luna, Nightmare, and Teddy are there for him. He already feels that you are a family.” Celestia smiled lightly, her chest warming at the thought of Harry being her son, blood or no blood. “ Do you really think so? That we can all be a family?” A thought then came to her and her sadness returned, “ What about the nobles? Surely they don’t want a ‘commoner’ to be part of the Royal Family?” Daybreaker sighed and replied, “ I say to hell with the nobles, they don’t dictate your actions and choices on who gets to be part of YOUR family…” She then smirked evilly, “ Besides, if they got a problem with it, they get to deal with me and Nightmare.” Celestia imagined a few nobles with pitchforks and torches, only time get burned to ashes or turned to moonstone, which made the Solar Diarch giggle. Then the clock outside the chamber chimed that it was midnight, and Daybreaker felt her control begin to weaken. “ I want to be introduced to Harry soon Celly, or I’ll tell Luna all about your cake collection you keep under the bed in a locked box.” She said, her golden fiery irises twinkling with mischievous mirth. Celestia glared at her other self, a frown on her lips. “ Don’t you dare, Day. Or I’ll tell Nightmare about your dreams of Chrysalis. I don’t even think she can bend that way!” It was the next day, and Harry was sitting on the edge of his bed, stretching his stiff muscles that he barely used while he was on bed rest. He hasn’t seen Teddy since before the dance and attack, which made Harry worried that something bad must’ve happened to his Godson. But he relaxed, knowing that Teddy might be alright, since he saw him and Amethyst walking through the gardens hand in hand with smiles earlier that morning, while he watched from the bedroom window, seemingly affectionate with each other, if the blushes and cuddling were any indicators. Harry smirked, He’s definitely got his mother’s personality. He thought to himself. Then a voice spoke up from the doorway, causing the young man to lift his head. It was Celestia, whose clothing changed from battle armor to a royal ankle-length white dress that hugged her figure quite nicely, with the symbol of the sun on the left breast of the dress, shining proudly in the light. “ Good morning, Harry.” She said, with a soft warm smile that made Harry squirm a little bit. “ Good morning, Your Majesty.” He replied, finished tying his shoe and ran a hand through his messy mane, which made it even messier than taming it. It was a hard habit to break, even if you’re in a different universe… “ Come now, there’s no need for formalities, since your our guest after all.” Then she smirked, her purple eyes gleaming with mischief, “ And the coltfriend of my sister’s other half.” Harry felt his cheeks go red at the kiss that Nightmare Moon so boldly gave him after the attack that night, remembering the feel of her plump lips against his. Unsurprisingly He couldn’t help but feel like kissing Nightmare again, next time he sees her… It’s not every day that the embodiment of Death and a Dark Goddess kisses you and does other things… Where the hell was Death anyway… After shaking those strange thoughts out of his head, Harry felt Celestia sit next to him, her eyes in a thousand-yard stare, clearly thinking about something that is making her fidget slightly. At least, that’s what his Auror eyes told him… Celestia’s hands were slightly twitching, as if she wanted to do something but was holding herself back, and her warm purple eyes were expressing something the need to say something to him, but he couldn’t figure out what. And she looked a bit...Nervous… That can’t be right, Princess Celestia never looked nervous, she was always graceful, even when smiling, she never seemed to express any true emotion unless it was her sister, Nightmare, or himself. So why is she nervous right now?... Harry was about to speak, to ask if there’s anything wrong, but Celestia beat him to the punch, “ Are you doing ok, Harry? Still not sore from the battle, are you?” She said, her tone full of care that reminded the young stallion of Molly Weasley, who went through thick and thin to make sure he was healthy whenever he visited the Burrow, which was built from the ground up, literally. He still loves magic, and it still surprises him on what it could do… Harry smiled, replying, “ Yes, Celestia. I am still a bit sore, but it’s already fading since I got up.” Celestia seemed relieved that he wasn’t hurt, and he had a suspicion, that she really cared for Harry, just like Molly did when he was an underfed eleven-year-old to adulthood. “ Good, good.” She said, smiling that warm smile that makes him wanna squirm in content. Teddy felt the exact thing, but it made him slightly uncomfortable with how warm it is in the room whenever Celestia smiled. He said it was comparing it to a hot summer day… After a few moments of slightly comforting and awkward silence, Harry sighed lightly, then took the plunge. “ What’s wrong? You’re nervous.” He noticed that Celestia looked at him in surprise and smirked, “ I wouldn’t be alive if I couldn’t notice any details, no matter how small or how hidden, I will know.” Then he put a hand on hers, causing a slight shock to go through both of their systems, but he ignored it, his green eyes glowing with concern. Since she and her family were the ones to take care of him and his Godson during the attack, he was willing to return the favor… Celestia felt her chest warm at the contact, and her breath slightly hitches at the look of concern that the stallion was giving her. Then she took a breath and then spoke. “ Do you ever get the feeling, that when you meet the right person, that you can feel like you can protect them, make them feel loved?” Harry blinked, his mind going through the question and broke it down, reading between the lines. Then he nodded, answering himself and her question. “ Do you feel like they can become someone that person looks up to, to idolize?” At this Celestia seemed to be breathy a bit faster, if her flaring nostrils were any indicator, and Harry decided to be blunt in his question. “ Where are you going with this, Celestia?” He asked, slightly confused, yet had a feeling that whatever it is, it was good, and not dangerous. The Solar Diarch got up from her sitting position and paced a bit in front of him, hands behind her back clenching and unclenching. Then she felt Daybreaker speak to her internally. “ Do it. He already has a suspicion of what you want to say to him. Just get it all out.” Nodding, and taking a breath, she turned to Harry. “ I feel like you’re my child. A son that I never knew. I want to make you a part of my family, a family that cares deeply about each other and helps whenever possible. I don’t want to ask this of you if you want to stay independent, doing what you do as well as raising Young Teddy.” She took another breath, and continued with a strong voice, making sure that it didn’t waver or crack in the whirlwind of emotions that were going through her, “ But, will you be a part of the Faust Family?” It was silent, Harry’s eyes were widened to the point of dinner plates, and Celestia’s heart began to hurt at the silence, fearing rejection of the honorable offer. Then… “ Even though it’s sudden, I feel like I could trust you, even when it’s not appropriate, or to turn to you for advice if I need it. I want to truly experience this, to be a part of something that I always envied of when I was a child.” Then he felt his throat grow a lump and began choking out the words, his eyes grew wet with tears. “ I want to be a part of your family. To care, to protect, and to love you all as much as possible.” Celestia’s eyes widened when she saw him begin glowing, an aura of black, green, and grey surrounding him as she listened. Then she remembered what’s going to happen since Cadence, her niece was the same way when the offer was asked all those years ago. “ I accept.” Harry said, a smile growing on his face as the glow became intense. As if speaking an Unbreakable Vow, the glow intensified to the point that it was like looking into the sun, and Celestia shielded her eyes to prevent herself from being blinded. Throughout the castle, Luna, Nightmare, and Teddy felt the surge of magic permeating the city, causing shivers to go down their spines and a look of surprise was felt when Chrysalis felt the same thing, as if a connection was established from someone they were missing for millennia. Celestia stood in front of the glowing orb that surrounded Harry, where he floated with glowing eyes and prayed to herself and to her mother that he could handle the power surge… Author's Note A/N: You guys excited for the next chapter? Don't worry, I got that covered!

Next Up: The Alicorn Of Death
Chapter 13: The Alicorn Of DeathChapter 13: The Alicorn Of Death There was no darkness this time, it was a white void. Nothing but white as far as the eye can see… Harry blinked as he felt strength enter his muscles, and noticed that he felt more energetic than he was ever before… “What is this? Where am I?” He asked to himself, his voice echoing throughout the empty void. Then someone spoke behind him, “ You’re in the realm between realms, Mister Potter.” Harry whirled around and saw a unicorn mare standing there, who was wearing a white office suit with a red quill on the left breast of the suit jacket. Her red hair was cut short, and down straight, her stance was relaxed, as if she was waiting for him. But he could see the limitless power hidden behind those warm and caring arctic blue eyes… She is powerful, even more than Luna, Celestia, and Sirius/Discord combined… “ Who are you?” Harry asked, feeling himself tense up in case she was hostile to him. But he had a feeling that the woman wasn’t, there seemed to be an invisible aura that can make everything and everyone around her calm… She also seemed to greet him as a friend, which made him relax slightly. The woman saw the tension leaving the man’s arms and smiled even more. Her power suddenly wrapped around his own, embracing him in a cocoon of sapient magic, it was as if judging him worthy of something, but for the life of him, Harry couldn’t figure out what. After a few silent moments, she spoke, interrupting the silence, “ Hmm… Yes, you shall do…” She murmured to herself, her blue eyes glowing slightly as she eyed him. Harry blinked, as if trying to figure out what she meant, when suddenly, he felt an uncomfortable warmth hit him in the chest, and engulfed him in an inferno of yellow, grey, and black magic, whirling around him like a tornado or hurricane. And he in the eye of the magical storm… Then it began seeping into him as if he was the sponge, and the magic is the water, being absorbed greedily, and the warmth grew into a searing heat that made Harry buckle into a ball, gritting his teeth in pain. Then he began screaming in agony, his back a searing white hot as appendages grew from his spine and ripped through his shirt, unfurling in the sense of newfound freedom. His horn grew a few inches longer than normal, meaning in unicorn terms a larger magical core. And his eyes, god his eyes… His green emerald eyes glowed with power and a black mist seeping from the sockets and his black mane whirled around his head in an invisible wind. Harry’s heart was beating faster and faster with every second as his body did it’s best to absorb the unknown magic and integrate it with his own. It was like that for a full minute, before the pain started to fade, leaving a heaving stallion curling into a ball, and his aching body shaking. The red-haired unicorn only stood and watched, her hands folded behind her back, with her blue eyes looking over him with an emotion that Harry couldn’t identify… “ Hmph, if only you weren’t already taken.” She murmured, catching Harry’s attention by kneeling next to him and lifting up his chin, peering into his eyes as he tried to calm himself down. “ Yes, you would do…” She said, then got back to her feet, and began walking away. That’s when Harry noticed the large pristine white wings folded on the woman’s back. “ Welcome to the family, Harry Potter… Alicorn Of Death…” She announced, a smile on her lips, winking at the stallion’s widening eyes as she faded from view. “W-wait!” Harry shouted at the disappearing Alicorn mare, “ How do I?!-” Then he woke up… Celestia stood outside the cocoon of magic, biting her lip and trying to control her breathing as she paced in front of the area where Harry was situated… Normally an event such as this wouldn’t cause her to panic, in fact, she would’ve welcomed it… But this was different, it never took this long... For 3 hours straight, Harry was floating in the magic, his eyes glowing and back arched as if trying to get the kinks out, arms spread eagle. Then she saw Harry’s head jolt forward, which meant down, and she saw that the stallion’s eyes were glowing brighter with black smoke coming from the sockets. It reminded her of Sombra, except for ultimate evil and the weird obsession he had with dark crystals… ...She never did ask why… The door to the room opened and in came Luna, who was panting slightly from running across the castle nonstop. Chrysalis, Teddy, and Amethyst were there, following behind and outside the doorway, peeking in to see the spectacle that was currently going on… “ Sister, have you felt?...” She stopped speaking as she took notice of the large ball of magic floating behind Celestia, and seeing the silhouette inside, Luna’s eyes widened. “ Tia… Is that young Harry?” Luna spoke, her voice shaking slightly as she stared at the spectacle before her. The Solar Diarch nodded her head, shifting and stretching her back due to walking in a small area for a couple of hours, which was very uncomfortable, I’ll have you know! “ Yes, Lulu, it is Harry Potter. I believe he is becoming an Alicorn, like Princess Cadence all those years ago.” Then she looked over her shoulder to Harry’s floating body, then continued, “ But it shouldn’t have taken this long.” Teddy scrambled to where his Godfather is and felt himself become weak for some reason, and he began wobbling on shaky knees to try and balance himself upright, before he began to fall to the ground. Luna noticed immediately and caught the young boy before he fell to the ground, making herself go to her knees to make herself comfortable as Amethyst ran over to her friend’s side, concerned. That’s when a small strand of magic, yellow in color, shoot out of the orb and phased into Teddy, causing him to gasp as he felt the warmth he always noticed whenever Celestia was around, but it was even more pronounced than before. Celestia and Luna’s eyes widened as they saw another strand shot out and ram full force into Chrysalis’s chest, causing her to go flying and hit the opposite wall, letting out gasps of pain as she fell to a sitting position against the wall, unable to move. That’s when three others slither through the air, being gentle as they went into the Royal Sisters and Amethyst, causing the group to fall unconscious as whatever magic is being absorbed by Harry pulled their consciences into him. Even Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker were pulled along with them, being of the same mind and body as Celestia and Luna. The door to the room slammed shut as Chrysalis was being pulled through the air with gentleness to lay next to Luna. Then a shield was produced around the entire section of the Castle, sealing everyone inside with no way in or out. What is going on?... Author's Note A/N: Hey Y'all! I apologise for the delay on updating my stories, keep in mind that the world seems to go on without you really quick if you aren't paying attention... Life has been hectic for a bit, what with video editing and uploading, work at 1pm to 8pm, being too tired to do anything afterwards, cleaning up the house and yards. It's a real shitshow. Anyways, I will try and get more chapters going, the stories are NOT dead! Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and I will try and begin the next one soon, with a couple of ideas to spring from. Thank you all, and I'll see you guys in the next chapter! TOODLES!!!
Chapter 14: Prove Your Worth!Chapter 14: Prove Your Worth! (Warning: There will be movie spoilers featured in this chapter, if you don’t want to read the section of it, skip ahead to the next one, you have been warned!) The decrepit chamber was dark, and very empty despite the large statues that decorate the place. Water flooded a large section of the floor in front of the large statue depicting the head of an aristocratic man, the liquid shining like a light source. Celestia opened her eyes and shot up into a sitting position, muscles aching and feeling slightly groggy, as if she’d just gotten out of bed to raise the sun. That’s when she noticed a familiar face lying next to her, red and gold armor barely covering her parts and chest, chain-mail covering her slim but muscular stomach, small armor plating covering her arms and legs, but showing enough skin to leave almost no imagination. Celestia’s eyes narrowed for a second before widening in recognition at the woman’s face, HER face… “ Daybreaker?” She muttered, confused on how her opposite split from her and formed another body. The Alicorn in question snapped her eyes open, her draconic eyes glowing orange in the darkish chamber. She looked around and saw her ‘lighter’ side staring at her with surprise on her face. “ What in the name of Equestria happened, Celly?” Daybreaker asked, her voice echoing slightly throughout the large chamber as she looked down at herself, almost admiring her form with interest. Celestia blinked and took another look around again, trying to remember if she had seen this chamber before, but came up blank. Then the two Alicorns noticed the redheaded girl lying on the ground in front of the pool of water, a small black book lying next to her limp form. Celestia and Daybreaker looked at each other, then at the small girl, before taking a step forward… That’s when they heard a large door being opened behind the two with a large groan… Luna could barely see through the dark forest, in step next to her split personality, Nightmare Moon, who is looking around with a vigilance that she could barely remember her having. It was almost as if she was protecting her from danger… But that would be silly, wouldn’t it?... Nightmare’s eyes slightly glowed in the dark as her eyesight adjusted to the pitch black darkness of the large forest that reminded the Mare In The Moon of Everfree, where she battled the Elements Of Harmony when she first returned from her banishment in the moon. She could see a lake that glistened in the moonlight, almost a picture of serenity and comfort, if not for the fact of a man that looked familiar to her and Luna lying on the ground in shredded prisoner’s garb. Nightmare and Luna almost ran to the unconscious man and looked him over, recognizing the man immediately as Sirius Black, also known as Discord. Nightmare spoke, interrupting the silence, “ Discord. I swear to Faust that if this is one of your tricks, I’ll…” They suddenly heard fast steps and light panting from behind them and Nightmare whirled around, ready to take on whoever thought they can sneak up on her and her counterpart… That’s when her eyes landed on the skinny, yet VERY recognizable form of Harry Potter, her new coltfriend. Well, not a coltfriend YET... She and Harry needed to talk about said relationship whenever they got the chance... To see where it was going... He looked younger, even in his deep emerald eyes, and they were full of fear and faded anger that made Nightmare shiver with goose-flesh. She never felt THAT before, and her cheeks lit up pink at the familiar feeling of lust… Luna, even though she couldn’t see it, smirked in amusement at the predicament her darker counterpart was in… He moved past Nightmare, almost as if he didn’t even see her and Luna and slid to his knees next to Sirius and tried to get the older man to wake up. That’s when they noticed the temperature dropping and spot the lake bein to become frozen in ice, moving towards them as if alive. Then they looked up, including Harry, and their eyes widened at the sight… Hundreds of floating dark forms permeated the air in front of the group and skeletal hands reaching out towards Harry, who got to his feet, gripping his Holly and Phoenix feather wand. Nightmare and Luna noticed that he seemed to be weakening even more in the presence of these creatures, wincing in pain once in awhile, causing the two Alicorns to look at each other and back at the young man in concern. The large group of Dementors, Nightmare thinks he called them once, flew towards Sirius and Harry with the feel of hunger that made even Luna wince in slight fear at not seeing their faces, only gaping mouths under the hoods. That’s when they noticed the glowing form of a stag walking towards the group of Dementors on the other side of the lake... Chrysalis woke up suddenly in rubble, moaning in pain and grogginess, trying to see where she was… That’s when the queen noticed the familiar forms of Teddy and Queen Amethyst lying next to her, Teddy spooning her with his arms wrapped around the middle and her head carefully snuggling into the crook of his neck, her sharp horn narrowly missing his skull. That’s when Chrysalis noticed something and concern along with motherly instinct shot her up with adrenaline at her senses of danger nearby. They DEFINITELY need to get out of there… She got to her feet and immediately tried to wake the young boy and chibi Changeling queen. “ Teddy. Teddy! Amethyst! Wake up! We’re not safe here!” She hissed, slightly annoyed that her attempts to rouse them from the land of dreams were unsuccessful… She then noticed something in the air, and her nostrils flared the smell of strong Hate mixed in along with Love. Coming from the other side of where she and the two children were in, wherever they were at the moment… She tried to wake the two up with no success and gave up to see what was making her senses crazy… It wasn’t even that far… She peeked her head up, then immediately ducked at a green light coming her way, hitting the rubble with fierce power that it broke a few chunks of stone and dirt. Then after a few seconds of waiting, Chrysalis lifted her head over the mound again, ready to duck down again… But it wasn’t needed… Because the one who cast the spell was busy fending off another… Chrysalis’s eyes widened at the familiar sight of the man who looked young, but smelled older than that, his round glasses slightly cracked and dirty, his clothing ripped in places along with a couple of deep cuts and bruises that made the Changeling queen wince in sympathy. It was Harry Potter! The seventeen year old man was holding his Holly and Phoenix feather wand in front of his face, arms shaking as he was in a power struggle with the one known as Tom Marvolo Riddle, A.K.A Lord Voldemort. The Pale figure in billowing black robes gritted his teeth as the Elder Wand belted out the Killing Curse at full power, he could feel that the wand’s loyalty belonged to him... But he felt that it was not exactly loyal to HIM… The wand chooses the wizard, and this wand chose Harry James Potter, The Boy Who Lived, Master Of Death... When he felt his last Horcrux get destroyed, Voldemort stumbled, and the spells canceled out. Chrysalis watched with awe as Harry’s eyes seemed to glow an even more deep emerald, and she felt his power spread out through the entire area. Harry glared at the panting form of Voldemort, happy that his scar isn’t hurting in the man’s, no, not a man, the MONSTER’S presence anymore, thanks to the Horcrux in his scar being destroyed… Voldemort’s scarlet eyes locked onto him, and Harry noticed the familiar sight of fear in those orbs of insanity and megalomania… Then he raised the Elder Wand, aiming in his direction, and Harry tensed, ready for another fight… The power struggle began once more, the beams of red and green fought against each other, but Harry was winning, when the orb of magic streamlined back at Voldemort, mixing the Expelliarmus and Avada Kedavra together in a big orb of fatal and deadly magic. Chrysalis watched as he sent a disarming charm at the pale snake-like man and the familiar sight of the Elder Wand was sent out of Voldemort’s hand and flew into Harry’s. Then everything faded to black... Back in the Chamber of Secrets, Celestia and Daybreaker watched in horror as the twelve year old form of Harry Potter run around the Chamber, dodging the sixty foot Basilisk as it tried to bite him after a Phoenix clawed and pecked its eyes out. After a few close calls, Harry ended up on the large statue head with a silver gleaming sword, aimed at the roof of the Basilisk’s mouth… Celestia and Daybreaker felt immediate concern at the expression of severe pain on Harry’s face as he stabbed the large snake’s brain with the sword. The giant snake writhed in a death throe, screeching in agony that made the two Alicorns almost want to clamp their hands over their ears. Harry sluggishly made his way down to the floor by climbing the statue head of Salazar Slytherin and fell to the ground next to the red-headed girl, who was even more pale than a few minutes ago. The two noticed an older boy speaking to Harry, and felt the aura of said boy… It was pure darkness, familiar to Sombra… Then Harry seemed to get an idea after the boy said, “ Funny what a silly little book can do.” He opened the book and gripped the broken Basilisk fang from his arm, gritting his teeth in agony as Harry raised the fang in a dagger like fashion, ready to stab it… “ What are you doing?” Then Tom Riddle’s eyes widened at what his nemesis was gonna do, “STOP, NO!” He yelled as he shot forward to try and stop the boy from stabbing his diary.… Then the fang came down and stabbed into the book, black ink with the density of blood squirted from the pages, and a glowing crack formed in Tom’s torso, an expression of pain on the older boy’s face almost mirroring that of Harry’s. Harry saw what he needed to do, and stabbed the diary a couple times, before closing the book and stabbing the ink stained fang deep into the cover, making more cracks along Tom’s body as he did so, crying out in pain. Then the memory of Voldemort blew apart in a flash of light, disappearing into oblivion… That’s when Celestia and Daybreaker’s vision went dark… Nightmare Moon and Luna watched as the glowing stag sent out a bright pulse in the form of a half bubble, spreading out over the lake and the Dementors were pushed away with shrieks of pain, almost like the time when the Changelings tried to invade Canterlot during Cadance and Shining Armor’s wedding. Then the stag’s form faded, and the light that it was producing dimmed to nothing… It took a bit to readjust to the sudden darkness, and when they did, the two Alicorns were shocked and confused to say the least. Luna and Nightmare noticed the familiar form of the boy now lying on the ground behind them. A slightly older Harry Potter stared at his few hours younger self from across the lake, panting at the amount of magic he used to conjure his Patronus. Then everything went dark for Nightmare Moon and Luna… The Dursley household if #4 Privet Drive was empty, quiet of its occupants. Eleven year old Harry Potter sat in his cupboard, thinking of the decision he made when he accepted Princess Celestia’s offer of joining her family… It doesn’t make sense, she doesn’t even know me! He thought as he listened to the quiet skittering of the spiders that occupied his cupboard. Then… Why did I accept? Is that small miniscule part of me still living in hope for a loving family, no matter the age? Harry contemplated, leaning back against the cupboard wall. His musings were interrupted by a loud BANG, and the sound of seven bodies hit the carpeted floor of the Dursley’s living room. He listened closely as voices of familiar people filled the silent house. " Tia? Daybreaker?! What in the name of…” said one. " Chrysalis, Nightmare where art we?” Said another. " I got no idea. But it seems Harry has made a mental construct of a house. But… where is he?” Said a very familiar voice that made Harry’s heart pound with longing. He fought the urge to come barreling out of the small cupboard and into her arms, but refrained himself. I think I know who they are now… He thought as he kept quiet, wanting the Ponies to figure things out. He heard the telltale sound of metal hooves moving across the wooden floor of the front entrance hallway, just outside the small door. He heard Luna call out to the others, “Tia, come hither!” She shouted. The sound of feet congregated behind the door of Harry’s cupboard, and he straightened his back as much as possible, his teeth gritting at the event that was to come… He heard Luna whisper, " Tia… There are locks on the door… Do thou think…?” She asked, a dawning realization of horror in her voice, made Harry want to grimace. " I… I guess we’re about to find out Lulu…” said Celestia, her motherly voice replaced with trepidation that he didn’t want to hear again. Harry heard the clicks of the locks unlatching and took a deep breath, preparing… The door opened and the fear of Uncle Vernon grabbing him by his hair and throwing him out for a beating came back tenfold, causing him to hyperventilate. " There’s somepony in there!” Said Amethyst. “Quick, open the door!” Said Chrysalis, who had a tinge of concern in her voice. The door swing wide open and light filled the small space… Harry shut his eyes, trying to calm his small beating heart when he heard a gasp of horror from the Ponies in front of him. Here we go… He thought as he heard Celestia’s voice call out to him softly... “Ha--Harry?” Said Celestia, watched the small figure hunched into a ball against the back of the Cupboard Under The Stairs, look up at her in tired resignation. His emerald green eyes may be younger by a decade, but they still had the same aura of power and Death swirling inside. Celestia felt a tear slide down her cheek at the sight of an eleven year old Harry Potter wearing clothes that were 3 sizes too big with broken taped up glasses with the same design as his current ones, and the small mattress he was sitting on… Her slight shock became a blaze of rage… Nightmare, Luna and Chrysalis began backing up as the temperature in the area began to rise to 200 degrees. Celestia’s eyes flashed white and a small snarl on her lips, opened her mouth to yell… But her eyes landed on Harry, who flinched involuntarily, his years of being raised by the caring Dursley’s programming kicking in as he saw the anger pouring off the Solar Diarch. Celestia’s eyes returned to their gentle magenta, wet with unshed tears as lowered herself down to Harry’s level, squatting at the doorway. Harry watched with suspicious and frightened eyes at her that made her heart sting, feeling that she may have caused him to be fearful of her. Then a knock came at the door of the house, catching the attention of Celestia and the others…. Through the small glass window of the door, there was a silhouette of a man outside, who kept knocking 3 times per 6 second intervals. Luna walked over to the door as quietly as she possibly could when Celestia tilted her head in its direction with a mental conversation, until the door opened and standing there... ...Was another Harry Potter, though this one looked like he had been through war... Author's Note A/N: Hey Guys! WhalenJP Here! I apologize for not posting another chapter for the story, I had a bit of Life issues along with Writer's Block, which is NOT fun! Anyways, hope you like what's coming next! The question is: Why is there another Harry Potter? The answer will be in next chapter! Until Then, TOODLES!
Chapter 15: Conversations With YourselfChapter 15: Conversations With Yourself… Harry Potter, the seventeen year old, stared at all of them with jaded emerald eyes, eyes that Celestia and the others were familiar with, not like the doe shaped innocence that was Harry Potter, the eleven year old. He stared at his older self with awe and slight fear of the power that surrounded him, making him hide slightly behind Nightmare Moon’s armor covered leg, causing her to look down at him with surprise in her eyes. It was silent, the house creaked a little bit, but the only sound that disturbed the silence was everypony’s breathing… Harry, Older Harry, smiled at them, “ Well, glad to say that I found you.” He said as he casually walked into the house, shutting it behind him. Celestia watched as Older Harry spotted Little Harry, and tilted his head with a smile, that familiar smile that made the room bright up like her did. “ Now, I think it’s safe to say we need to talk.” Older Harry said, walking past them all, except to give Nightmare and Teddy a hug, causing the Night Queen to blush and Teddy to grin respectively. The group silently followed him into the living room where they all arrived in, and sat down in the squashy armchair. Little Harry panicked at this, “ Don’t! That’s Uncle Vernon’s chair! If he catches you sitting in it, he’ll kill me!” He blurted out, before realising he said this in front of strangers. The Alicorns, Changeling Queens and Teddy looked at both Harry’s in realised horror. The Cupboard was obvious that Harry didn’t have a good home life, but to the extent of simply sitting down in a chair, and fearing that you’ll get beaten for that? Chrysalis felt sick at the fear irradiating from Little Harry, Celestia and Daybreaker felt their Solar Magic swell within them in rage, Nightmare and Luna felt horrified, and Teddy was shocked to his core that his Godfather was an abused child. The air in the room was thick with tension, and it was quiet for a few moments as everypony got their wits together, albeit slowly… Older Harry smirked, before rubbing his butt against the seat cushion, crossing his legs and arms as he looked around in an obvious way to spot Vernon Dursley. After a few seconds, he smugly smiled and held out both arms to his sides, saying the universal gesture, ‘ You Were Saying?’ Little Harry kept frantically looking around the living room, which made Older Harry sigh in slight irritation. Good God, was I THAT frightful when I was this young? He thought before taking out the Elder Wand and waved it. Little Harry suddenly felt relaxed and calm, before taking a seat at the ugly looking flower patched couch. Eyebrow raised, Celestia looked as Older Harry rubbed the bridge of his nose in slight irritation at something. Then she gracefully sat down on the same couch, next to Little Harry, who had a small blush on his cheeks, and not because of the heat either. Snickering at this, Luna took Harry’s other side, and scooted a little closer to Harry, making his face look like a ripe tomato… Older Harry watched himself with amusement, chuckling lightly at the scene before him. Nightmare Moon sat down in a similar chair across from Older Harry, hands on her lap in a dignified pose with a faux haughty expression on her face. Both Harry’s snorted, which made the noble mask crack, and then the three began chuckling/giggling. Chrysalis was about to sit down on the carpet with Teddy and Amethyst, but Older Harry, who stopped chuckling for a few moments, held up a hand to stop them, “ Allow Me.” He said, before waving the Elder Wand. A black velvet couch big enough for 3 appeared out of thin air; replacing the uglier one in its place... Which made the group, including Little Harry, to gape at it for a few seconds, which caused Older Harry to smirk in satisfaction at his work. After a few seconds, Celestia shook her head to snap out of her daze and turned her attention to Older Harry. “ How did you find us? Also, who are you?” She said, suspicion in her tone suggests that this was an interrogation. Older Harry raised an eyebrow before leaning back in the recliner, his feet resting as he answered, “ To be honest… I am him.” He pointed to Little Harry, who blinked at the finger in his direction. “ Yet at the same time, I am Harry that is in the present.” The Older Harry tapped a finger to his chin in thought before continuing, “Think of it like time travel, but more mental and metaphysical at the same time. There are no paradoxes here and whatever happened when I accepted your proposal, Celestia, showed you my memories of my past, my most CRUCIAL memories of when I was in danger.” Celestia stayed silent, trying to think about what she and Daybreaker saw in the Chamber Of Secrets. Luna piped in, snuggling Little Harry tighter against her side, which caused him to shift uncomfortably at the closeness of the Alicorn. “ Maybe tis the magic of Harmony judging you on how your worth to be an Alicorn?” After a few seconds of everyone staring at her, she continued with a smile, “ It is possible that thou would do fantastic deeds before you arrived here in our world that made Harmony herself show us of your achievements.” Nightmare looked thoughtful for a second before speaking, “ Like the Hundred floating creatures above the lake at your school while defending Discord from dying.” She said, grabbing Older and Little Harry’s attention. “ And don’t forget the fact that killing a thousand year old Basilisk with only a sword and sheer luck is a great achievement.” Daybreaker said, making Older and Little Harry’s attention turn to her, which made her uncomfortable for some reason. “ Hello… I’m Daybreaker, Celestia’s Dark Side.” She introduced with a fangfilled smile while holding out her hand for a shake. Older Harry didn’t seem fazed at all when she did so, Little Harry flinched though, which made Daybreaker stop grinning and smile normally with a pang in her heart at the fear of the eleven year old child Celestia thought about so often. Older Harry held out his hand as well and shook Daybreaker’s hand normally, not with a petrifying slowness or the speedy quick with the stench of fear, it was normal. Daybreaker blinked before gazing down at Older Harry since she preferred to stand instead of sitting down. She whispered, slight awe filling her voice, “ How are you not afraid of me, Mr. Potter?” She asked. Older Harry’s emerald eyes dimmed a little bit, which made Chrysalis, Teddy, and Celestia wince at the Thousand Yard Stare of War. After a few seconds, Older Harry’s eyes glowed slightly again, which made Teddy sigh in quiet relief. “ I got a question.” Everyone and Everypony’s attention turned to Chrysalis, who froze slightly at the attention on her for a second before relaxing. “ Who was that pale man you were fighting with? The one with red eyes and no snout?” She asked, almost regretting that question a second later. Older Harry stiffened before his hands clenched into fists, his eyes closed tight and the nearby chinaware vibrated off the coffee table and break into thousands of pieces. After taking a couple of breaths to steady his magic, he opened his eyes once again. “ His name… is Voldemort…” He answered, before launching into a small explanation on who Voldemort was before becoming the most Feared Dark Lord in history. After the small history lesson was over, Older Harry felt tired, as if Tom Riddle was sucking on his magic and life again like the unintended Horcrux from the night when his parents died. “Anyways, that’s not what we’re here for.” He got up from the chair and stood in front of the group like a teacher in a classroom full of students. Celestia and Luna’s eyes widened slightly at the slight similarity of Harry and Starswirl the Bearded, right down to the at ease stance he seemed to take… “ We are here to make a choice… Whether or not I am worthy of becoming a being of great power and responsibility.” He looked at everypony in the eyes, a calmness and determination shining that made Nightmare shiver with excitement. “ To be perfectly honest… I don’t think I want that power. But since Harmony and Faust herself have done this anyway, I think I don’t have a choice in the matter.” He said, rolling his eyes at the spirit of Fate laughing at him again. Little Harry grimaced, saying, “ Why not? It’s your freewill!” He crossed his arms, glaring at his older self. Older Harry smiled and kneeled down in front of his younger self. Even though he’s a figment inside my own head, he does know me pretty well. Harry thought to himself as he replied with a gentle warm tone. “ Because, life just wants to throw a curveball at you with or without your consent to make things happen.” He looked at Celestia, Luna, Nightmare, Chrysalis, Teddy, and Amethyst, who looked back at him with varying degrees of heartwarming smiles. “ We might like or not like the changes that come with those curveballs, but some things will change for the better. If things go from bad to worse, that means Fate just wants someone to be entertained by.” He said this with a mischievous smirk. After contemplating for a few moments, Little Harry nodded his head, smiled and disappeared into a ball of light, which floated for a couple of seconds, before sinking into Harry’s chest, being absorbed back into his soul. Harry took a breath before getting to his feet. Celestia was the first to move, by getting up off the couch and giving the younger immortal a hug that most would be reminded of their own mother’s. “ You’ll never have to fear of change. Nor of being abandoned whenever somepony disagrees with your views. I think it’s the exact thing Equestria needs.” She whispered into his ear. Harry hugged the Alicorn back, a couple of tears going down his cheeks. “ Thank you… Mother.” He whispered back. Just hearing that word made Celestia’s heart melt and she smiled with tears on her cheeks. Harry and Celestia pulled out of the hug, only for Harry to be almost tackled by Nightmare, whose hug felt like it would at least break a few of his ribs, but they didn’t, thankfully. “ I am so sorry, Harry…” She sobbed out, her facade of the cold Night Queen gone in a matter of moments. Harry, although hugging his possibly future girlfriend--MAREfriend, is confused. “ What are you sorry for?” He asked, pulling back from the hug and looking into Nightmare’s turquoise dragon eyes. Nightmare’s breathing was shaky as she continued, her uncontrollable tears coming under control. “ For getting you into a relationship with… with a monster like me.” Her voice cracked at the end, which made Harry’s heart clench. Luna felt her eyes widen, and her heart went out to her counterpart that was like another sister to her… She knew what the fear of rejection was like, to be viewed as a monster in the eyes of those she loved. It makes sense that Nightmare has her issues with such relationships… Harry stared at her for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, his emerald green eyes glowed slightly more as he did so, making them a captivating sight to Nightmare. “ You idiot.” He said, his normally gentle face was stern and determined, which made Nightmare stare at him in shock at the slight frustration in his voice. It made the others reel back a tiny bit as well… Even Teddy, who never heard such an intense tone in his Godfather’s voice before… “ It’s not you who should be sorry.” He pressed his head against hers, Nightmare’s form shrinking down to almost his height, except half a head taller than him, staring into her shiny watery eyes, which stared at him in fear of rejection, afraid that she might lose the only person that came close to understanding her besides Luna. " It’s the people that called you such things that shall be sorry. You are NOT a monster. Nor a freak. You are a beautiful and brilliant mare whose been dealt a bad hand in life, and was misunderstood.” Nightmare’s cheeks began to grow pink at his compliments, despite the drowning emotion of depression overcoming her… His face became gentle once more, a glint of an emotion in his eyes showed itself to her… Self regret… Harry did remember Ginny and Death, like the forgetful git that he was, whose possibly waiting for him back home, and possibly watching him respectively, judging him for not being loyal to them. Even though Death was a spur of the moment, Harry knew Ginny since he saved her in second year down in the Chamber Of Secrets. Ever since then she was pining over him, but she had gotten better and more affectionate, even ignoring the Boy-Who-Lived moniker that followed him around all of his young life. Then he decided, Screw It. If they watch, they watch. There’s no going back, Death told me so herself before I woke up in this world. He thought to himself as he took a deep breath. But if there ever was a way back, I’d bring Ginny and my friends here, I’m not going back to a world that one day idolizes me, then turn their backs on me the next… He cupped the Alicorn’s cheek, thinking for a moment, before leaning his head in and pressed his lips against hers. Nightmare’s eyes widened before closing shut after a few moments and began leaning back into the kiss, her arms wrapped around his neck, a muffled moan in her throat. There was a bright light that emanated from Harry’s body, blinding everyone in the room... Author's Note A/N: I'm SO SO SO Sorry About Not Posting Much In Awhile! Life got in the way, and I've been feeling bummed out about writing and the YouTube political B.S. that is going on these days.
Chapter 16: When Everything Begins...Chapter 16: When Everything Begins… The orb that surrounded Harry Potter pulsed and throbbed with power; tendrils of light spreading from it and connecting to the Alicorn Sisters, two Changeling Queens, and a young colt. Then they all receded back into itself, the orb pulsing at a quicker pace… Celestia and Luna woke up first, rubbing their temples with their hands to get rid of the headache; before freezing at the orb as it began to collapse inwards, shrinking in on itself. Celestia felt a small burst of panic enter her at the thought of the only closest thing she had to a son being taken away… Daybreaker felt the same and tried to get her host/sister to where the orb was... The Alicorn tried to lunge towards the shrinking orb, only for Luna to grab her and hold her back. “ Hold...on, Tia!... Will...you...wait?!” Luna asked, a mixture of Nightmare’s voice being implemented as they both used their strength to hold their sister back. The struggling Solar Diarch slowed to a halt, her magenta eyes tearing up at the smaller orb hovering in front of the waking group. “ Dad… no...” Whispered Teddy. He watched with tears in his eyes, Amethyst rubbed his back and pulling the colt into a comforting hug, her eyes dim. Even though the Queen didn’t know Harry all that much; the emotions that Teddy showed for him was that of a family, someone to look up to… A hero… That’s when the orb shattered, leaving a bright light to fill the room, causing everypony to cover their eyes as to not get blinded… Then the light dimmed down to a bearable level, making the ponies lower their hands and stare at the sight before them in shock. Floating a few inches off the ground, his arms spread slightly; was Harry… His green eyes were glowing bright with power, his horn elongated a few inches more than before the lightshow happened. Celestia had a feeling, a hunch that Daybreaker shared as the young stallion’s feet landed on the floor. Could it be… She thought in her head, her eyes softening as she walked closer to him. Luna and Nightmare let their sister go, feeling as if they should let this happen… Harry blinked his eyes, the emerald glow fading and winking out of existence as he held his hand to his temple, wincing at the migraine that formed from whatever happened. “ Ow… That’s gonna be felt in the morning, I’ll tell you lot that.” He said, his tone joking and pained. The room chuckled lightly, the tension in the air receding to comfortable levels once they all saw that the stallion was alright. Celestia stopped a couple feet away from Harry, their eyes making contact with each other; their auras showing in the real world; mixing and introducing themselves to the other… One full of magic and Death, the other full of life, the sun, and a mother’s love… Harry smiled, his eyes lighting up as he broke the silence. Hey...Mum…” He said, feeling a weird flutter in his chest as he said the unfamiliar term. Celestia felt her heart warm at the term she was called by the young stallion standing in front of her, causing her eyes to water. Harry’s eyes widened at the sight of the Solar Diarch crying, thinking he did something wrong… Oh Bollocks. Was the stallion’s thought, before he got wrapped up in a tight hug by the older Alicorn. The mare in question shut her eyes as tears slid down her cheeks, a feeling of longing panging through her body as she felt her heart scarred with a millennia of trauma begin to finally heal. Daybreaker smiled reassuringly inside the Alicorn’s head, whispering comforting things and encouragement to her sister. The other occupants watched with uncomfortable expressions as they saw the normally composed and smiling Celestia cry her heart out… Luna felt her lips quiver and took a small calming breath, her emotions mixed with Nightmare’s were running rampant at the sight. Nightmare felt her love for Harry grow as she watched from Luna’s eyes, seeing the sight of him calming her once arch-enemy. Harry’s arms wrapped around Celestia’s torso, careful to avoid the Alicorn’s large wings that were folded on her back. He felt his eyes close at the feeling of safety surrounding him along with familial love that he felt only with the Weasley family and Hermione. It was quiet for a tiny bit as they relaxed in the embrace; before Harry’s back began to suddenly itch, causing him to flinch at the interruption of the moment… He hesitantly pulled back from Celestia’s embrace and reached behind to scratch the bothersome sensation… Celestia watched as Harry reached behind himself before her eyes widened at the sight of the large raven black wings that sprouted out of nowhere. Harry blinked at feeling muscles he was sure that weren’t there before; then saw his… mother’s eyes were wide at whatever was behind him. “ What?” He asked, confused at why everyone was looking at him with shock, before turning his head to look at what the cause of the emotion was… Then his green eyes widened as he joined the staring. The wings were long, as long as Princess Celestia’s that were raven black with red and gold primary feathers edging the tips of the new feathery appendages. He experimentally closed the wings, imagining a hand clenched into a fist; then saw the wings fold back against his spine, a sense of heaviness settling onto his back. “ How…” he muttered, still slightly flabbergasted at how he had wings, along with a longer horn that he never used. He always had the Elder Wand within his arm holster as well as his original Holly wand in the left one as a backup… Maybe one day… He thought to himself as he turned towards the slack jawed group. “ Hehe… Surprise?” He said, a sheepish grin on his face. *Meanwhile elsewhere* Death watched the events of Harry’s adventure through a crystal mirror; a smile on her face as she thought back to when they first met at the end of the Second Wizarding War… “ I was always proud of ou for defying Voldemort when you were naught but a babe, then again when you were young and the final time as an adult. But now…” She said. Then Her smile became one of a grin, her eyes lighting up the dark room in an eerie glow of her magic reacting to the emotions she was experiencing. Death stood from her throne of bones and banished the mirror to places unknown, humming a tune called ‘ Funeral’s March’ under her nonexistent breath. “ But now, I can finally call you someone I’ve waited a long time for… My Master…” She finished, laughing. Then she reached a hand up next to her head and snapped her fingers, shrouding the room into darkness… “ You were always worthy of the title, and perhaps the perks it comes with, since you are humble and know not to abuse that power I have gifted you; You are SO much better than the others.” Death said as she vanished from her realm. THE END Author's Note A/N: First off... Before you say anything that's like ' This chapter is too short, make it longer!' or ' Where the hell have you been?!' I've been busy to the second question. As for the first... I've been burnt out of writing this story, so I decided to make a short last chapter, because even with the great suggestion for the next few chapters, I couldn't put them into words; especially not with the small amount of time I have these days of writing, making and editing videos, and going to work for a few hours. If you guys and gals want to continue this story, lemme know in the comments and I'll respond. Just make sure you give me credit for the idea, and I want to see how all of you can make it better. Now on that note, everything's getting stressful what with COPPA invading YouTube and work causing me to have murderous intentions, I think I'm gonna take a break from writing other stories for a tiny bit; get my flow and rhythm back, ya know? Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed this rushed journey of Harry Potter, and I'll see you all next time. TOODLES!!!~
PrologueHarry James Potter was bored. He rarely ever got bored… It’s been a rather normal day, a decade ever since the end of the Second Wizarding War, when he killed Tom Marvolo Riddle alias Voldemort, his life seemed to look up at that point… Got a wife named Ginny Weasley… His two best friends Hermione and Ron, married to each other… Becoming a Godfather to his father’s best friend son by Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks who died in the Final Battle named Teddy… This was the life… So why did young Harry feel bored? Is it because of no one trying to kill him anymore? Is it the Wizarding World that became a flock of sheep and him their shephard? Is it the thrumming power of the Hallows? Yes, my dear readers, you know the most important part of the story… ...The Deathly Hallows… Three legendary and powerful artifacts created by Death Herself by request of three brothers that crossed a deadly river by building a bridge with their magic. The Elder Wand... The Invisibility Cloak… The Resurrection Stone… Bring them together and you become The Master Of Death… Poor unfortunate Harry was at the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing. He became Immortal, Undying… Bored… He didn't even know he was Immortal... Until... Harry one day went on a walk through Diagon Alley to pick up some errands, when one of the former Death Eaters from the War killed him by yelling, “ Avada Kedavra!” Harry heard the familiar words of the Killing Curse just as it struck his back. A few hours later, he woke up in a open coffin, surrounded by friends and family, who were weeping over him for his untimely death. Harry, sorta confused, spoke, his voice raspy, “ What the bloody hell happened?” Those that were around him gasped and a couple of them screamed, making him shoot up into a sitting position in concern. “ What, what?! Who’s trying to kill who?! I’ll kill them first!” He gripped the Elder Wand in his fingers, poised to start defending himself and those that were close to him. “ Harry?!” said Hermione Granger, his brilliant Muggleborn friend, stared at him in open mouthed shock. “ Hermione? What happened? Why’s everyone so sad? Why am I in a coffin?” Harry, still looking around for a potential threat, spouted his questions left and right, searching for danger. “Harry… You were dead, mate!” Ronald Weasley bluntly said to him, his eyes wide. Harry blinked, shock filling his system at the words ‘Harry’ and the word ‘Dead’ in the same sentence, which shouldn’t be possible. “ I was what?...” Harry trailed off as he thought back to his moments before his sudden blackout. I was going to grab errands for me and Teddy, heard the Killing Curse being fired by a random bypasser, getting---... Harry’s eyes widened and he whispered, “ I was dead…” Then as if those three magic words, Get It Magic, were said by him, the area around him glowed bright, and his friends and family covered their eyes to prevent themselves being blind by the light. Teddy Lupin, Harry’s Godson, yelled “ DAD!!!” Then with a bang, Harry and Teddy disappeared, leaving everyone there shocked at what occurred… “ What the bloody hell was that?!” Ron yelled out, shocked out of his mind. Hermione didn’t Gibb Slap him in the back of the head for his cussing this time, because for once, she agreed with him… Author's Note The Prologue Is DONE! I am making this story because of a thought I had. What if Harry, as the Master Of Death, went to Equestria and journey to become an Alicorn Of Death? This story will have romance in it and I will leave it up to whoever gets it right in the first comment on who Harry is gonna make love with! hehe... Next Up: Chapter 01!!!
Chapter 02: The Unicorn With The Lightning ScarChapter 02: The Unicorn With The Lightning Scar… Twilight Sparkle, a powerful yet bookworm lavender unicorn, personal protégé of Princess Celestia, was bored. She was wearing her normal attire of a purple skirt, a lavender blouse and red necktie tucked into her light blue vest, she was also wearing black ankle boots that her brother Spike got for her birthday a few months back. Anyways… Ever since the beginning of when she first got into Ponyville, there was a great many days when Monsters, Power Hungry Ponies, even the God of Chaos, attacked the quaint little town every other day. She SHOULDN’T be bored… Yet today was a normingly Boring day, and Twilight is spending it in her home, the Golden Oaks Library, which was a library inside a large tree… And it was bigger on the inside as well… She was sitting on her favorite reading couch, her muzzle in a book that had a strange symbol on it that signified something important. She spotted the book from when she first moved in a couple years ago, and still couldn’t figure out what the written language is called! Yet, she’ll figure it out… ...Eventually... Suddenly the front door knocked, and Twilight groaned, Isn’t this a public library? I know it’s my home and all and they’re trying to be polite, but this is getting ridiculous! She thought as she called out, “ It’s open!” She was just about to turn back to the large book, when the door opened to a young stallion with a deathly grey coat and scruffy black mane that went down to his ears. His tail was the same but a little shorter above the ground. He was wearing a fancy dress attire that caught Twilight’s attention. He was wearing a fancy green dress shirt buttoned all the way up and a pair of old fashioned slacks with pinstripes, he also had a black vest with a lightning bolt cutie mark on his left breast, like her five point star cutie mark. Twilight caught his emerald green eyes and saw pain, regret, death, and seem to be a little older than the rest of his body. That is not counting the fact that his height seemed to be about the size of an adolescent colt, which was a slight cause for concern. “ Hello, welcome to Golden Oaks Library! What can I do for you today?” Twilight greeted. The stallion looked around for a moment, before locking onto her and replying, a Trottingham accent in his voice, “ Hello. I am just… Passing through. Not sure what I’m looking for yet when I came here.” Twilight noted the slight hesitation in his voice, and made a mental note to see if there were any records of him. He looked a bit familiar to her for some reason… Shaking away her musings internally, she got up from her couch, putting the book down onto where she sat a moment ago, not noticing his green eyes locking onto the cover with recognition. She walked over to the stallion and held out her hand for a shake, “ Hi! My name is Twilight Sparkle, I’m the Head Librarian of the place.” The stallions lips grew into a slightly crooked and rogue grin that sent shivers down her spine. “ I’m Harry… Harry Trotter. Pleasure to meet you, Miss Sparkle.” He grabbed her hand and pecked it gently, causing Twilight to blush a little. What a gentle stallion. She thought as they dropped their hands to their sides. Harry looked around the library, before landing his eyes on the book Twilight was reading, where it was located on the couch and asked, “ I’m sorry, but I can’t help but ask what you were reading? I feel like I should know that symbol.” Technically that wasn’t a lie on Harry’s part, he does recognise the symbol of the Hallows after all… Twilight blinked for a second, snapping out of her slight daze and looked back onto the couch where the book she tried to translate was sitting before shrugging, “ It was here before I moved in two years ago. I asked if anypony recognised the book, but they said they don’t, I even tried reading it myself. It is still indecipherable.” She replied as she used her magic to levitate the large tome of a book towards them. She didn’t notice the look Harry gave her as she used her magic; one of curiosity… She handed the large book to Harry, and he plucked it gently from her aura and into his hands, staring at the cover with concentration. “ I’m a little curious as to how it got here in the first place.” Twilight said, noticing the intensity of Harry’s gaze that was on the book. The stallion’s eyes locked on with hers and smiled grimly, opening the book as he answered, taking in the familiar written language. “ This is the book on The Deathly Hallows.” Twilight blinked, slightly stunned at having this random stranger knowing the book just by a glance. Then she noticed something that she overlooked, pinned on his lapel above the lightning bolt cutie mark... It was the same symbol on the book, a line inside a circle surrounded by a triangle. Is this a cult thing? Twilight thought to herself as she saw that Harry was immersed in the tome, reading the words left to right and turning a page every 30 seconds, reading the pages, turning the page, and repeat. If it is, I need to warn the Princesses. She was going to do just that, beginning to move back up the staircase behind her that would lead to her upper floor where her quill and parchment is at in her room; when Harry pulled out a smooth stick of dark wood with knobs in it, and pointed it at her. Despite her curiosity, Twilight froze, her muscles tense and caught in a position of sneakiness, her left foot just above the ground. It would’ve been amusing if she wasn’t so afraid. Harry spoke, his tone cold and a bit of something else that Twilight could identify as anger. “ I have one question for you, Miss Sparkle.” His head lifted and his eyes met hers, and Twilight flinched at the whirling flames in those shining emerald orbs. She gulped, answering around the knot in her throat, “ Yes, Mr. Trotter?” There was a slight gleam of amusement at the way Twilight’s voice squeaked, but Harry grew serious once again, his eyes turning into ones that she only saw in Princess Celestia’s eyes; Regret, Age, and War. “ Where the bloody hell is my Godson?” Author's Note FINALLY!!! I can work on this story!!! I apologize for the delays of updating my stories, but I had a severe case of writer's block, but now I'm back in it, ready with a couple new ideas to progress, but suggestions are welcome after the next chapter is done! I hope you all enjoyed it, I will try and tone down the dirtiness in it like the last chapter. See you all in the next Chapter, TOODLES!!!
A/N: Writer's Block Strikes Again!So... You may be wondering why I haven’t updated my stories in a while, huh? Well... I have Writer’s Block! It’s hard on what to write for the next chapter, because I didn’t think that this story would get so many positive reviews. There are of course critics, but they don’t matter much since I fix my mistakes when they’re pointed out... Any suggestions on Celestia questioning Harry after he wakes up? Lemme know so I can get the flow going again! Anyways, It’s been stressful since I am a YouTuber, and editing and uploading is difficult these days due to burnout and making songs, and going to work outside of YouTube, it’s just a bucking MESS... But that won’t stop me, eh? Hope to see you all eventually, while you’re at it, go check out WhalenJPOnline, and also check out Harry Potter: The Chaotic Wizard, as well as my first story: The Metal Armed Vigilante! TOODLES!!!
