“It’s happening,” was the first thing an 14 year old Harry said when he came down to breakfast, “Today around midday”
“What’s happening?” asked his father
“the fading, that’s what”
“How do you know?” his shocked mother asked
“the memory barrier isn’t up and I have that tingling feeling” harry said
“and we have till mid-day?” asked his father
“yes”
“well then, let’s cancel classes”
“What, Dad! you can’t do that.” Harry said, affronted
“I can and I will,” Salazar said, “you are leaving today, harry. You can’t honestly believe that nobody wants to say goodbye”
“but I can do that during class!”
“have you packed?” his mother asked
“packed what?” harry questioned in return, “you know I can’t take anything with me”
“then just leave it here, or in Gringotts” his mother answered
“and you also have to lock your quarters” his father added
“no, they can stay open” harry said
“you have to close them, otherwise anyone would be able to wander into them” Salazar returned
“fine,” harry huffed, “but you say keyed in so you can put anything I forget in there”
There was a blue flash of light outside, merlin had arrived
__---oO0°0Oo---__
“it is time for your departure,” merlin said a lot later, after they had arranged everything, EVERYTHING. His weapons to the goblins, his clothes in his closet, etc., etc.. It was, had been, quite a lot.
When he heard those words, harry solemnly stood up and hugged everyone, getting whispers of good luck from those who knew where he was headed. He also got those from those who didn’t know, but they thought him to be back soon. Pity the falsified death warrant was already stored in his father’s study.
Then, suddenly merlin took his arm and they disappeared with a bright flash of blue, it was quite strange, traveling trough time and space, he saw images all trough time and sometimes he saw what looked like merlin popping up, he also met a few versions of merlin throughout his journey until he saw himself, well, his golem self. He saw golem harry get angry at his ‘aunt’ marge, it was not a pleasant memory, as it so happened, it wasn’t even a memory. He saw himself run after blowing up said ‘aunt’ and shook his head at his own stupidity, taking the knight bus? Seriously?
When the golem finally went to sleep, merlin took him out of the timeline and merged them, giving the golem his mind and blood whilst keeping the body. It was tiring and he went to sleep immediately after.
