The tale of the three brothers.
Chapter 5: The tale of the three brothers.
Wanda begins, “The tale of the three brothers is a Wixen bedtime story. It goes something like this. Three brothers were walking about a lonely twisty road at night when they reached a hazardous river. Some would probably try to swim across or wade across but would most likely drown. But these three brothers knew of sorcerous skills and together with their wands conjured forth a bridge and they proceeded to cross the river.
Halfway across the bridge,a hooded humanoid stops them. This figure was the and they were infuriated, cheated of their due. Death pretended to congratulate them and proceeded to award them with gifts from them self of their own choosing.
The eldest was a hot head, and was considered a combative wizard, asked for the most powerful wand in existence. Death granted his wish, by creating the wand from Elder Wood thus creating the Elder Wand.
The second idiot brother was an arrogant man and decided that he wanted to humiliate Death even further, by asking for the ability to recall the deceased from beyond the veil. Death granted his wish by creating the Resurrection stone from a rock that was summoned from the river's depths.
The third and youngest brother was the most humble and wise of all three, did not trust Death and so he asked for something that would enable him to go forth without Death following. A very reluctant entity, that was very unwillingly handed over his own invisibility cloak.
The three took their prizes and soon enough they went on their way.
The first idiot brother traveled to a village where a wizard he didn't like lived, upon arriving at the village, he found the wizard and they dueled. And the brother won, leaving the other wizard dead on the ground, the eldest brother went forward to a pub where he spent the night drinking.
While being drunk, and the Lust of power from the elders wand, he bragged about receiving it as a gift from Death. Later that night an unknown murderous wizard walked up to the Eldest brother while he was sleeping off his many drinks. This unknown wizard slit the eldest brother's throat and made off with the Elder wand. This was the moment when Death took the Eldest brother for their own.
The middle blockhead brother returned to his home where he lived alone. Turning the since three times in his hands the spectral figure of the girl he had hoped to marry before her death appeared at once. But she was sad and cold as she was separated from him by a veil. Even though she had returned to the mortal world, she didn't belong and began to suffer. Finally the blockhead brother was driven mad and decided to end his life so that he could join her. This was the second time that Death took the second idiot for their own.
The third brother was smart; Death searched for the youngest brother for years but never found him. It was only when the third brother reached a grated acre, that he finally took off the cloak and gave it to his son. Thus he greeted Death as an old friend and they departed life as equals.”
Wanda finishes and takes a sip of water. Harry was stunned.
He cannot believe these three brothers. At least the third one was smart. He thinks and then curses. He has two objects belonging to Death.
Hermione looks at the young man she considered her brother. She says, Dumbledore had the wand, I wonder if it's in his crypt or has it been removed."
Harry, the archangels, Loki and Wanda all turn to Hermione in surprise.
Loki asks, "Who do you think removed it then?"
Hermione closes her eyes and thinks. While her eyes are closed, everyone can see weird runes, and symbols run over her body.
She says with a haunting voice, "Dumbledore was going to retrieve it. But he was too late, as Thomas retrieved it days before Albus remembered.”
Harry groans, "Just what we need is an insane Dark Lord who has the most powerful Wand in existence."
Harry looks to Wanda, "Do you know any magic users that you trust to brew potions?"
Wanda asks, "Why?"
Harry sighs, "I might not be in Hogwarts until all of Voldetwat's Horcruxes area gone. But I have friends in Hogwarts. And since Severus is the Headmaster there's only so many potions he can give out without losing his position within Tom's Inner Circle."
Gabriel, Loki and Raziel were hissing when they heard about the Horcruxes. Wanda states that she's going to go and get in touch with the magic users she trusts.
Harry says, "There's night be three or four containers left. One is the Hufflepuff cup, Rowena's Diadem, and his familiar Nagini. I also think that I am one as well “
Hermione says, "Fuck. That explains your link with him. But who can get it out?"
Loki takes a deep breath and replies, "I can do it."
Gabriel speaks up, "We, including myself and Raziel will assist. That way our grandson will come out hale and Healthy."
Wanda asks, "Should we do it now or wait until after the Inheritance test?”
Harry says, "Now. We do it now. I love being able to speak to snakes. But I hate having the connection to him."
So Wanda conjures forth a white medical bed. She uses her magick to make sure that the bed is sterilized.
Once the bed was situated, Loki uses his magic to make sure that the bed was decontaminated. Harry was then told to sit on the bed.
Wanda had Hermione grab the element candles from when she and Harry had summoned Loki.
Hermione finally finds them and with a little help from a compass charm, she finds the four compass points. She places the candles in the certain points and watches as each one lights itself.
Wanda watches as Hermione was stunned by the candles lighting. Wanda says, "Magic is a sentient force. Just as mother magic gifts or, sometimes Magic does what we want instantly without a wand or spell."
Hermione nods, and watches as Wanda looks around as they realize that they shouldn't be doing this near the books. As there is probably some that will either enhance the soul piece or eat it.
Wanda says, "We need to go down to the infirmary. It's not safe to do this here in the library."
The two archangels and God look at one another as they couldn't believe it took Wanda to make sense. And they usually do it on their own.
Gabriel says, "Great idea. Hermione grab the candles. I will teleport the bed and Harry to the infirmary.”
Hermione grabs the candles, and they snuff out. Gabriel then touches the bed Harry was sitting on and they disappear in a flash of light.
Hermione looks at the others, "Dobby."
Dobby pops in, "How can I help you Ms. Granger?"
Hermione smiles, "Can you pop us to the infirmary, please?"
Dobby smiles, and with a snap of his fingers, Wanda, Loki, Raziel and Hermione are popped off to the infirmary.
Scene change
Infirmary
Gleaming white walls were ready for anything, and with Hipny a house elf healer, everything was clean and disinfected.
Soon there was a flash of light, and when Hipny could see again, she saw Harry Potter and a man with golden hair slicked back like a pompadour, his sapphire blue eyes seemed to cracking with energy.
Harry looks at Hipny, "Hello. I am Harry Potter. Who might you be?"
The House elf was dressed in lime green robes with the sign of a bone and a wand, she says, “I am Hipny. What's wrong?"
Just as Harry was able to tell her what was going on, four other people pop into the infirmary.
Harry asks, "Hipny do you need a bond?"
Hipny replies, "I would love to have one with the great Harry Potter."
She walks over and together they clasp hands.
Harry says, "I Hadrianus Astraeus James Potter-Black take the House elf known as Hipny to be my bonded elf.”
A flash of green light envelopes them, and Hipny was looking younger after the light died down.
Hermione uses the compass spell and place the element candles in their correct place.
Gabriel finishes speaking with the others, telling them what was going to happen. Raziel was putting down salt and various herbs of protection in a circle.
Wanda walks over to Harry. She says, "I had felt something Evil in this scar. But I didn't want to do anything just yet. If Loki, Gabriel and Raziel hadn't shown up, I would've said something to the Goblins when we went in.”
Harry smirks, "I don't blame you. I would've done the same. We don't know what would've happened and besides that, We would've had to fight mom's protection as well.”
Wanda tears up a bit and hugs Harry.
They pull back, and Harry says "Don't worry so much Aunt Wanda. You know with that damned prophecy in play I can't die."
Wanda let's out a wet chuckle. Wanda moves away and watches as Loki, Gabriel and Raziel are finishing setting up the ritual circle.
Hermione was already moved out of the way.
Soon they begin to change, Loki in Old Norse, while Gabriel was speaking in Hebrew while Raziel was speaking Enochian.
While Chanting Gabriel makes his hand glow, once it was glowing he plunges it into Harry's scar.
Harry begins to scream as it's very painful as there's a glowing hand in his head and the soul shard is fighting him. But Harry and the Divine beings are stronger.
Finally a dark cloud appears over Harry, with red glowing eyes. It hisses and with a mighty pop, the shadow bursts intro light fragments.
Gabriel ever so slowly removes his hand from Harry's head. They taper off with the chanting, they vanish all the herbs they used in circling Harry.
Loki wipes off the black sludge and begins to close up Harry's scar.
He says, "I can't let you run around with my nephew's mark upon your head "
Harry laughs and then sits up.
Both Wanda and Hermione Rush forward and hug Harry.
Hermione asks, "Are you ok?"
Harry replies in a scratchy voice, "My head is better. It no longer aches, and I no longer feel heavy."
Wanda conjures a goat of water, which she has Harryto sip on.
Hermione turns to Divine beings and asks, "Are you all ok? Is there anything we can get you?"
Meanwhile Hipny brings over some potions for Harry. One is a pain reliever which is blood red in color and the other is a pepper up which is gryffindor red in color.
Harry swallows the pain reliever potion, he might hate the taste but he's glad that he no longer aches from his head. He then pops the pepper up and grimaces as the steam billows out of his ears.
Loki replies to Hermione, "I'm good. But I could use a stiff drink."
Gabriel and Raziel agree.
They all plan on heading back to the library. Harry turns to Hipny and says "I hope that you like it here and if you need or want anything just ask."
Hipny says, "My wife is a potioneer elf. She can brew anything. Would you be willing to take her on "
Harry chuckles, "Does Winky know? I believe she was looking for a potion elf as well."
Hipny says, "I will talk it over with Winky."
Harry smiles and thanks Hipny once again.
He leaves and heads up to the library. Upon arrival, he finds Gabriel eating some Honeydukes chocolate bars. Raziel was eating Cauldron Cakes, and coconut pies. Loki was drinking the beer and liquor that was used to summon him.
Wanda and Hermione were drinking butterbeers all the while talking about magic and runes.
Harry walks in and plops down in a comfortable chair. Even though he lives the library, they need to go to a different room so that they all don't converge in the library.
Dobby having felt Harry's desire to keep the library safe, pops in.
Dobby says, "Don't forget Harry, but the books here all have a spell on the that will prevent food or drinks from being on them."
Harry says, "Thanks for reminding me "
Dobby leaves and soon returns with snacks.
Harry asks, "Did Winky find a potions elf?
Dobby replies, "She has hired Hipny's mate Poly "
Harry asks, "Do you think Poly would like some help with the potions? I would like to send some to the D.A. that's at Hogwarts."
Dobby says, "One moment."
Dobby pops off and soon returns with a female elf who's wearing a black apron.
She says, “I am Poly. I would like for any help that's given.”
Harry greets her and asks, "Do you need a bond like the others?"
Poly replies, "I would like one "
Harry holds out his hand and Poly grips it. A flash of green light surrounded them, and when it died down, Poly looked younger and taller.
She bows to Harry and pops off. Dobby had already left.
Harry looks to Wanda and asks, "Do you remember me asking if you had any magical friends who would help brew potions?”
Wanda nods, and Harry continues, "Can you contact them?"
Wanda replies, "Sure thing. But I'll head up to my room, so if they want to teleport in, they can do it there."
And with those words, Wanda leaves e library and heads to her room.
Harry sighs, but grabs the Parselmagic book to read it some more.
Loki asks, "Do you mind if I summon Angrboda? Or??
Harry replies, "That depends. Who is she?"
Loki replies, she's the mother of Hel, Fenrir and Jormungandr. Angerboda is the Sorceress Giantess of Sorrows, darkness, chaos, and primal forces. And as such she can help brew the potions.``
Harry blinks a couple times processing the information he just received.
He says, "Sure. Go right ahead."
Loki hummmms, and Harry can see his eyes begin to glow.
Soon there is a flash of light, and once everyone can see, they spot a woman with short black hair, black eyes, green scales, around her left eye (Facing Harry was his right) was a circular mark and she was taller than the men in the room.
This was the Sorceress Giantess known as Angerboda, she was wearing all black except for her green leather jacket.
She asks, "What do you want now Loki?"
Harry breathes out, "Grandma!!!"
She turns and sees her son Salazar's eyes peeking out from a fringe of black hair.
She asks, who's the kiddo?"
Harry replies, my name is Hadrianus Astraeus James Potter-Black. My mother was Lily Juventas Potter nee Evans. I am the great grandson of Salazar Slytherin."
Angrboda walks forward and bends down to Harry's eye level, she holds a hand out
She asks, "May I?"
Harry looks at Loki and arches a brow.
Loki chuckles, "She wants to view your ancestors to see how you are related. It's a sorcery thing."
Harry looks back at Angrboda, and Nods.
Angrboda places her hand against his right temple, and soon flashes of his ancestors are flying through her mind's eye.
Finally she's pulls her hand away, and says, "Salazar had a daughter, but she's was a squib, and she was allowed to study since in those days, at Hogwarts. It soon became the norm to kick out squibs from the families. What these pureblood idiots don't realize is that the muggle born are descended from those squibs "
Harry just smiles at her. Angrboda then asks "What can I help you all with?"
Just as Harry was about to speak, Wanda walks in leading a group of people.
Harry replies to Angrboda's question, "I would like to have all the magical people here, brew potions for my friends that agrees now dealing with a Dark Lord that had taken over our school. Will you all be willing to put aside your differences to help us?"
The group that Wanda brought in, behind to talk amongst themselves. But soon they come to an agreement that they will brew the potions.
Harry smiles, "Poly, will you come here please?”
Poly pops in. Harry says, *These magic users are here too help in you brew the potions for Hogwarts."
Poly looks the magic users over, After says "Follow me." And with a pop, she's teleported to the potion room.
Wanda chuckles and makes a portal so that the helpers can get to the potion lab.
The portal closes when the last magic user had stepped through.
Hermione asks, "Now what?"
Harry replies, "We study, we learn new spells, anything that can help us in the final battle against Dildo lover."
Gabriel and Loki do a spit take when Harry gives Tom his new nickname.
Loki makes his mess disappear, and then asks, "Where did you come up with that new nickname?"
Harry snickers. He says, After the battle in the chamber, I made up anagrams of his name. Like Marmot Dildo Lover, or Mr. T. O. Dildo Remover. There's probably more but some are funny and some make ya snort your drink.”
Wanda and Hermione just roll their eyes, while the others snort with laughter.
Harry smiles and continues reading the book on Potions No one Would Tell You About. The book is very interesting as it talks about potions that call for basilisk skin or venom. Those that do are mainly healing potions.
Hours later, the ones that were brewing potions under Poly's eyes are finally done.
Poly had them 12 different healing potions, and that's defense/offense potions. They ended up buying Skele-Gro from the makers Rubens Winikus and Company Inc. And had to buy Bruise removal paste from Fred and George Weasley.
Harry gets the bright idea to fill up two crystal vials of Phoenix Tears that he gets from Hedwig.
Poly places the potions, balms, and tears in an unbreakable box. Even though the vials are unbreakable, you have to make sure that the container makes it to the potion master.
After collecting tears from Hedwig, Harry looks at Wanda.
It takes a while for Wanda to notice that her nephew was staring at her
She asks, "What's up, buttercup?”
Harry gives her a slow grin full of teeth. He says, "I want you to deliver the potions and all to Severus."
Wanda's eyes grow wide, "How about no?"
Harry sighs, "You need to be the one who goes. Severus knows that Dobby and Kreacher work for me. And probably Winky as well. Also while there, you can give him the tears as they will be the antivenom to Nagini's venom. Plus I can't show my face at Hogwarts just yet as the Morgue Minions are controlling the school.”
Wanda grumbles but in the end agrees after they've had dinner.
Dinner that night was great, since Harry didn't want all the House elves exhausted he had them go and get take out. Dobby had a great human illusion and some perfectly. He brought back Thai food, Mexican food, pizzas, and spaghetti. Kreacher went out for beers or ales for those that wanted some.
All the magick users had a great time talking with Harry and Hermione; they even got a chance to converse with Loki, Gabriel and Raziel.
After dessert, it's time for the magick users to return home. Wanda tells Harry that she will be late getting home.
Harry tells her that it was ok, and he had his grandfathers, Hermione and the House elves for company.
Once the magick users are gathered closer to Wanda, she teleports them away in a flash of red light.
After the magick users had left, Harry headed back up the stairs as he had more reading to do.
He enters the library and looks at his stack of books. He pulls from the stack, Norse mythology. He should read this as he's related to Loki through his mom.
