Awakening
Being an Immortal was boring after a few millennia, and even spending time with her fellow Immortals became routine. So Lady Magic decided she would see what it was like to be a Mortal for a while. Telling the others so they would not worry, she allowed Time and Fate to obscure her vision into their domains as she randomly selected someone to become her vessel. She made a promise that while she would give her Vessel all kinds of Magic to use she do her best not to interfere too much. Though she did have a meeting with Death when it turned out her randomly selected Vessel was of the line that was his chosen. Afterward, she began to notice strange looks coming from Fate but she could only guess it had to do with messing up with the normal life of one of the Mortals.
As most normal parents of a Magical child James and Lily Potter placed some blocks on their son, Harry, as soon as he was born. This was not cruelty, however, as it would help young Magicals acclimatize to their awakening magic easier. But when Harry started to use magic to summon toys to himself when most babies started to reach for things the Potters took him to Gringotts to get him tested to find out why the blocks had failed to take hold. After meeting with the Potter Account Manager, Bonecrusher, the pair had been shocked to see the results of their Baby's test. According to the test the blocks had taken effect, but rather than blocking the normal fifteen to twenty percent of his awakening magic the blocks had only blocked less than one percent of Harry's incoming Magical skill. What was more to both Harry's parents and all the Goblins it seemed that the boy had some surprising Magical Skills which he was to gain once he had come to age.
Not only had been Harry gifted with the normal Potter Family Magic of Parseltongue and Magic but had been gifted with Mage Sight, All-Speak, having access to more Animagus forms than the form could list, as well as being a Metamorphmagus. The form also stated Harry had natural talents in all branches of magic including all outliers such as Healing and Occlumency/Legilimency and a perfect memory for things he would read or hear. What was strange was that Harry had also been gifted with Magical Skills that even the Goblins had never heard of such as Realm Walking and Magic Weaving/Breaking.
James and Lily decided to keep extent of Harry's Magical talents a secret from everyone even their Son's Godparents just explaining to them Harry had a higher than normal Magical Core. The pair also did their best to hide the fact that almost one-year-old had been able to catch actual spells, this was made easier due by the time the family had gone into hiding from the Dark Lord. It was not hard to figure out why the Dark Lord was after their Son with the amount of Magic and special talents he would gain as he got older making the decision to go into hiding an easily made choice.
However, going into hiding had done nothing to stop the mad man after them who thanks to a spy among the Potter's allies was able to find them despite being under a Fidelius Charm. On Samhain, shortly after Harry's first birthday, the man known as Lord Voldemort came to Godric's Hallow to kill Harry. The mad man had caught the family unaware leading him to kill James Potter without the man being able to up any sort of fight. The Dark Lord had offered to spare Lily if she had given her Son to the mad man, but she refused. Voldemort had killed the Muggleborn Witch and had expected to do the same to the one-year-old. Raising his wand the Dark Lord cast a Killing Curse only for his eyes to bugle in shock as one year on in his crib caught the spell as if it was a ball. Young Harry giggled thinking it was all part of the normal game his parents played with him as he began to juggle the ball between his tiny little hands before sending it back, at what his young mind thought was his Daddy in a costume. Voldemort barely had time to scream before the killing curse blasted him away and destroyed the House. Lady Magic winced a little thinking she had put too much magic into the return spell not wanting her Vessel to die so soon. She then made a vow to never give her Vessel more than five percent of her overall power, though five percent of almost infinity was still more powerful than any Magic user would even dream of possessing. To make sure she recalled her vow Lady Magic used some of her magic to leave a mark in a very visible location so she would see it anytime her Vessel looked into a mirror.
When someone came to collect Harry from the ruined house they found both Potters dead and Harry with a small lightning bolt scar on his forehead crying for food. Sirius Black gathered his Godson into his arms making a vow to chase after the betrayer Peter Pettigrew and get his revenge for killing his best friend and his wife. When he was meet outside by Hagrid asking for the baby Sirius took it as a sign to go after Peter as he handed Harry over to Hagrid. If he had known that his actions would end up with him being sent to Azkaban he might have done things differently.
When Hagrid handed Harry over to Albus Dumbledore the man could not help but smile seeing it that his plans were moving along his desired lines. Having already used his position to block the Potter's Wills from being read as well as making sure that Sirius Black was sent to Azkaban for going after the Potter's betrayer. Having blocked the Wills and with Sirius imprisoned made it easy to assure Harry ended up with none of his Godparents, but rather sent the boy to live with his Mother's sister and her family. Knowing Petunia Dursley nee Evens hated all things Magical ever since he had denied her a place at Hogwarts, couple with the jealousy she had against her sister as they grew up. With the woman and her husband, who shared similar views, bringing up the boy he knew Harry would grow into someone he could easily control to put a stop to Tom "Voldemort" Riddle when the man returned in a decade or so. He even explained in a letter to the Dursleys that as long as they did not kill Harry they would be able to do what they wished with him and be paid from the Potter Family Vaults. Both Petunia and Vernon had been please for while Vernon had a good paying job the funds they were getting paid had boosted the families fortunes.
Lady Magic was furious at what her Vessel was put through at the hands of his relatives but could do nothing as he was treated like a slave by his own flesh and blood. It all came to a head when Harry turned five years old and his Aunt had decided that from now on the young boy would be the one cooking the majority of the family's meals. At first, it had been as "good" as the other "chores" that the Dursleys had given him, but on the second week, the young boy had been distracted by his Cousin. Dudley had been goofing off and had passed the time by doing his favorite thing bullying Harry. Dudley of course was not blamed when his "fun" caused Harry to burn the bacon he had been making for the family. Petunia had lost it seeing the food, that she respected more than her own nephew, being ruined. Taking up a pot from the drying rack she used it to hit Harry on the head. The young five-year-old collapsed backward causing the woman to bite her lip, she was not afraid that she killed the boy she was more upset that she might have lost the added money coming to their family.
She gave a scream as Harry opened his eyes and sat up and rubbed the back of his head. "You know I rather disliked that," Lady Magic said using Harry's voice as she decided enough was enough letting Harry gain access to all his magic so he could get out of there.
"VERNON!" Petunia called out as Harry jumped to his feet before he vanished from the Muggle home as if he had never been there in the first place.
Having been told what to do if there had ever been a problem with the boy Vernon left his wife with their Son as he went to go to Mrs. Figgs house so she could send a message to Dumbledore. When the Headmaster arrived he was furious at them, "I gave you one job and you failed at it." Then without warning, he used Legilimency on Petunia to see if he could determine what had happened to his Weapon. He growled as he was easily able to pluck the entire scene from her head as he watched her strike Harry with a pan looking as if she had killed the boy, but seeing Harry get right back up and vanish without the telltale "pop" of someone Apparating he knew it would be impossible to track him and just hoped that the boy would show up before Tom made his presence known.
Lady Magic was not going to let her Vessel suffer through any more abuse at the hands of his relatives, and knowing Harry had been placed there by Albus Dumbledore, who had told everyone he was her Vessel's Magical Guardian she decided to take a more active role in Harry's life. Once she fully healed Harry from all abuse, both mental and physical, before she activated her gift of Realm Walking in her Vessel making him leave his reality behind.
For the next three years, at least in his home reality, Harry lead by Lady Magic wandered the Multiverse. Time had no meaning to Harry as he traveled studying with various Masters of Magic in the universe. He spent a year or two learning the Magic, as well horseback riding and various fighting techniques from the Wizards Gandalf and Radagast from the realm of Middle Earth. Harry had visited an alternate reality where Camelot was just now taking place where he ended up learning from the man know as Merlin who had shown him wonders that Harry had never seen. This Merlin was unlike the one that Lady Magic knew from her Vessel's home Universe had also traveled with Harry around that Universe in a strange conveyance that had the outward appearance of a British Police Box.
There had only been one time that Lady Magic had to actually act for them when she had lead Harry into a new realm. As soon as they were arrived a strange creature with the body of a green and purple dragon but with the head of a duck appeared before them. Time seemed to stop as the duck spoke in a voice that was both majestic while a secondary voice seemed to have a quacking quality. "Who are you and what are you doing in this world?" the Strange Dragon asked.
"I am Harry Potter sir," Harry had answered.
"Not you boy but the one who inhabits you," the Dragon said as it tilted its head and eyeing the young traveler. Lady Magic felt a wave of Magic equal to her own washover.
"Enough I am Lady Magic a traveler from a different Universe," she said speaking through her vessel for the first time since leaving the Dursleys.
"Why are you here?" the Dragon asked again.
"I am guiding my Vessel around the Multiverse so that he may learn before he returns to his home reality," Lady Magic explained.
"You have no desire to mess with my domain?" the Dragon asked.
"All I want is to study with the one they call the Good Magician," Lady Magic said.
"That does not answer my question," the Dragon stated.
"No I plan to become the Good Magician's Apprentice for the year of service he requires before I lead Harry back to his home reality so that he can learn at each of his own realms Magical institutions," Lady Magic stated.
"Very well I accept you being in my domain but while you are here I would like you to have your abilities bound," the Dragon stated.
"And if I refuse?" she asked.
"Than I will have no choice to bring my fellow Demons to bring against you so that we can block you from this world," the Dragon stated.
"Very well I agree to your terms but if my Vessel is in danger I will break those bonds," she said.
"Now this is rather interesting," a newcomer said dressed in a white robe with a head that looked like the planet Earth.
"Yes interesting indeed," a second robe-wearing person said this one with the head that resembled Jupiter.
"A visitor from another Universe something like that calls for a wager," the Earth-headed being said.
"Yes, can we make our visitor break the bonds or not?" Jupiter asked.
" E(A/R)^TH, JU[P\I]TER I don't think our visitor should be tested like that," the Dragon stated.
"Oh stop being a stick in the mud X(A\N)^TH this would be a wager for the ages," E(A/R)^TH stated.
"Should we asked her if she is amenable?" JU[P/I]TER asked.
"I guess it all depends on what this Wager is?" Lady Magic said finding it actually nice to be with beings who had powers equal to her and her allies from her home realm.
"It is rather simple if we can force you to come out we win and gain a point but if you can go the whole year you and X(A/N)^TH will gain a point," JU[P/I]TER stated.
"Points?" Lady Magic asked confused.
"Don't you and the others in your Universe play for status?" X(A/N)^TH asked.
"No we just watch our realms of control and try not to meddle," she said.
"Than why the mortal form?" JU[P/I]TER asked.
"I got board and wanted to see what it was like to have a finite existence for a bit," she said. "Haven't you ever wanted to do that?"
"No," all three said shaking their heads.
"If you want me to take part in this wager I will just have to move realms," Lady Magic said.
"How about a different arrangement?" X(A/N)^TH asked.
"What do you have in mind?" she asked.
"While your Vessel is in this domain he will be perfectly safe from any harm and in exchange you will share with us any knowledge you have gathered from your own realm and the ones you have visited thus far," X(N/N)^TH suggested.
"As long as I do not have to leave him for we have been bonded and if I would disregard from his body he would die," she said.
The three shared a look and a silent conversation that she was blocked from before they had all agreed to her terms.
"We will meet with you as your Vessel sleeps at night," JU[P/I]TER stated as they sealed the deal with a handshake.
When Harry met the so-called Good Magician he was told that to answer the question Harry had would require a year's of work or as similar service. Harry had just asked if he could be the gnomes like man's apprentice for the year. The Good Magician was about to have him do a service for his request before he saw a note in his Book and Answers to say to just fulfilling the young male's request. During the year Harry learned more knowledge than he had before on the nature of Magic than he had in all his travels. At the end of the year he says goodbye to the Good Magician and his household before he felt it was time to head back to his home Universe. Harry was about to start his Realm Walking when the Good Magician told him to use his magic to reduce his age to that of a child again. As Harry, as suggested by Lady Magic, the next step in his travels was to learn at each of the Magical Schools of his Home Universe which might be hard at his current age of over forty-five years. Harry did not even use any of his Magic to reduce his age as the Good Magician had passed him a drink containing water from the Fountain of Youth. With a smile at the gnome-like man, Harry downed the drink as his body reverted so it looked like he was eight years old.
Traveling back to his Home Universe Harry, once more prompted by Lady Magic, started with his journey to learn at the Magical Schools in the realm. With Lady Magic knowing that Albus Dumbledore, was the Headmaster of one of the schools, had been responsible for placing her Vessel in pain from his youth decided to make that school the last one Harry would go to. As Lady Magic had to lead them to arrive back so that it had only been three years since they had left the Universe she helped guide her Vessel to visit the difference schools.
Over the next seven years, Harry had learned at each of the Magical Schools/Academy that the world had to offer while In England it had been a shock when Harry Potter had not shown up at Hogwarts when he was of age. To better hide as he traveled in this reality Harry had taken on the name of just planed "H.P." Most schools had a small issue with this until they saw how much power he possessed and wanted to teach him what they saw as the proper way of Magic and their traditions.
Harry was finally seen in Magical Britain and Hogwarts when at the start of the Triwizard Tournament with the arrival of the visiting schools. The Hogwarts students were amazed as the resurrected wreck of the Fredric the Great II pulled up to shore. The gathered crowd of students watched as a gang plank was lowered and a line of students left the ship following the Durmstrang Headmaster up towards the castle. The two right behind the man gaining the most attention as several people recognized the Seeker from the recent World Quidditch Cup Viktor Krum walking behind his Headmaster. But it was the student walking next to him that gained even more attention for unlike the others that disembarked the boat the boy, who appeared to be too young to take part in the tournament, was dressed not in thick robes rather he was dressed rather casually in a pair of jean shorts and a simple tee-shirt.
Several Pureblood of Hogwarts scoffed at the strange boy's choice of clothing but Harry did not matter as he chatted with the older boy. "Well I guess it is finally time to see what the big deal is about Hogwarts," Harry stated in fluent Bulgarian causing Viktor and several nearby Durmstrang students to scoff at him.
"Good luck with that H.P." a student in their last year named Vaslo said.
"You never know it might be fun," Harry said with a laugh as he began to skip as he followed Headmaster Karkaroff making several Hogwarts students laugh at him while the students from Durmstrang just rolled their eyes being used to his behavior.
Going into the Great Hall rather than join the students for Durmstrang as they sat at a table decorated in green and silver he saw the familiar faces of students he had met while at Beauxbatons and headed over to them. "Heir Delacour how nice to see you again," Harry said in perfect French to the daughter of the current Mistress of Magic in France.
"H.P. how lovely to see you again," the Veela blooded girl said pulling him into a tight hug as she kisses both his cheeks. Several students around the hall shot Harry some jealous looks at the exchange but he ignored them.
"If memory serves you have a couple of cousins that go to this school correct?" he asked.
"Indeed I do this is my cousin Luna Lovegood," she said throwing an arm around a the girl sitting next to her who also had long blonde hair. "And our Cousin Draco is over at the table where your current classmates chose to sit."
"Hello," Luna said extending an arm towards him.
"Hello my dear," Harry said taking her hand but rather than shaking it lifted it to his mouth and giving it a small kiss. During his travels he had found that this method had allowed him to better read a person's Magic than even his Mage Sight could. "Ah I see like Heir Delacour you have creature blood but rather than a Veela you are blessed by the Fae correct?" he asked.
Luna who had a habit of surprising most students found herself getting surprised by the statement, "Why yes I am how did you know?"
"It is better not to ask that question of him Cousin," Fleur warned.
"Why?" the younger blonde girl asked.
"For the more time you spend with him the more it will be that that is all you will ever say to him," Fleur said with a laugh like tinkling glass.
"Let's just say I read it in your Magic my dear," Harry said before leaning back a little "but it is also plain to see due to the fact that you are not wearing shoes meaning you can use the planet's Magic to help yourself focus. Luna blushed a little as she looked under the table at her bare feet noticing his feet were bare themselves. As if sensing her looking at them he wiggled his toes at her as if waving just as food appeared on the table.
"So is H.P. your real name?" Luna asked the stranger as he began to eat his food.
"Well no it is actually just my initials as I had learned when I was younger than my name was rather well known," Harry said peaking. both Hogwarts and Beauxbatons students, that were seated around him interest.
"Really so what is your real name H.P.?" Fleur asked having never thought to ask about his real name before.
"I was born Harry James Potter," Harry said as the sound of silverware falling to the table was heard from all around him. "See if I had used my real name it would distract people making it hard to learn."
At the table right behind where he was sitting a redhead male, and his bushy-haired companion's eyes widen in shock as they overhead the oddly dressed students name. Knowing they would have to let one of the teachers know, preferably Headmaster Dumbledore, that Harry Potter had finally come to Hogwarts
