Feelings and a Mansion
Chaotic Plaine, Creator’s Heir Manor, July 29th, 1987, 09:45 AM
It was their last day on the Plaine, their last day of training, the last day of a semi-peaceful life, the last day before they would head back to Earth. “You almost packed, and ready Mon Fils?” Sebastian asks Harry as he is packing in a rare moment of alone time. “Oui Papa, I’m almost ready,” Harry says with a dejected tone. “Vhat’s wrong, ‘Arry?” “It’s just that, this place has been our home for six years and suddenly everyone is so happy and excited to leave? Now don’t get me wrong I’m excited to go back to Earth and all, but, I mean the last memory I have of that place is not a very good one.” *SIGH* “I zee vhat you mean, mon fils, but look at it zhiz vay, zhiz place vill alvays be a part of us, but it iz not our home. It iz not like we can nevair come back. When ve get back to earth ve vill ‘ave a new home and ve vill make new memories, okay?” “Okay, Papa. Now let me finish packing and ill see you in the living room in about fifteen minutes.” “Zee you zhen ‘Arry,” Sebastian says as he walks towards the door and downstairs. Harry sighs and begins to finish packing.
Fifteen minutes later
“Harry, Wait up!” Shouts Hermione “Hey sis. What’s up?” “The sky,” They say at the same time Hermione looks shocked for a second then answers his question. “Can I walk with you? Even after five years living here I still tend to get lost.” Hermione says. They start walking. “Hermione? “Hhm?’’ Hermione asks back “What are your thoughts on returning to earth?” Harry queries. Hermione stops and looks at him before talking “I’m not exactly excited, more like interested in what people will perceive us as, and what we can do for said people in terms of hero stuff and the sort. Although I am excited to go to Hogwarts, and with Percy and Aunt Bella teaching there it shouldn’t be too bad. Why?’’ “I have mixed feelings about the whole situation and wanted your perspective on it. With your outlook, I'm more at ease now.”
“Cool, the Potter twins are here, now the only people we are waiting on now are James and Lily.” Said Chaos as they took the role of everyone currently in the sitting room. James attempted to silently apparate behind Percy to prank him but before James had even touched ground Percy had flung a blasting curse at James sending him tumbling to the floor HARD. “Gods’ damn it, Ember! Why in the Hells would you do that!” “Reflexes prongs, Reflexes,” Percy said smirking, while everyone else present including Lily started snickering. “Told you not to do that James. But did you listen? No.” Lily said still giggling. Everyone else started laughing more at this. “Alright everyone get ready, we’re gonna leave in a minute?” Chaos said after everyone had stopped laughing.
After a few minutes, everyone went to step on a raised platform in the middle of the room that had been summoned by Chaos. After a few seconds, the platform started to make noises and vibrate. “Have fun on earth!” said Chaos. Percy’s eyes widened before he said “Wait dad where wi-” He started before the platform flashed out of existence with a POP. Chaos started laughing to themself.
Potter Manor, Somewhere near Sheffield, July 29th, 11:00 AM
POP! “Fuck!” Percy shouts as everyone disapparates, and tumbles to the ground.”Come on, dad!?” Percy shouts towards the sky. Shaking his head he helps up Sirius, as everyone else starts getting up from the ground. “So where are we?” Harry asks. “Well son, let's find out shall we?” James answers with a smirk on his face. Turning to face the group, with his hands raised and a huge smile on his face, James loudly exclaims “Welcome to Potter Manor!”.
As soon as the last word leaves his mouth a massive beautifully elegant estate shimmers into existence. Everyone's jaws fall to the ground in shock, wonder, and amazement. Even those who had seen the Manor years ago still marveled at the sight. Then a thought crossed Lily’s mind “Wait a minute, James, the Manor looks a lot different than the last time we were here. Why?”
“Well when I found out that the kids had powers and we were going to the Chaotic Plaine, I had the goblins make the Estate bigger and add some renovations. Then Percy discovered the plans and he-” “My part of the story. When I found out I had those I trust with the locations of The Phoenix Corps bases at Phoenix Industrial add some things that we’ll need and some surprises. I also had them trick out the kids’ rooms with some cool stuff.” The kids’ eyes widened at this statement and they became anxious to check out the house. “Awesome! We get our own cool rooms!” they said.
The family then walked towards the estate and saw many different animals and creatures; magical and non. They also saw different garage-looking buildings with different symbols on them. James started explaining what everything was. James saw everyone’s eyes look to the garages. “Those have different stuff in them, The one with the tank symbol stores land vehicles. The one with the jet on it houses flying vehicles. The one with a rifle on it has all sorts of different guns.” As they walk Percy takes over “The garage with sword and staff on it holds melee weapons as well as weapons that can be used as spell and curse conduits. All of the garages hold both magical and nonmagical variations of the curtain item.” He stopped at the last garage “This one is probably the most valuable for it holds armor and battle suits. It has everything from this side to the far side of the universe.” He started walking again, with everyone following him and James.
They reached the front door when Percy said “Gideon, Activate Potter Manor security protocols.” “Right away sir.” said a disembodied voice with an accent that sounded both American and British. “Welcome home Potters and relatives.” the voice said. The voice fazed no one for the simple fact that the A.I., Gideon was in every one of their technological devices, appliances, vehicles, and equipment. Suddenly a huge see-through barrier started materializing above the estate, one of the security measures; a fideliased barrier that makes whatever is in it invisible and forgotten by all beings and technology, not in the know; the family knew about the manor for pretty obvious reasons. Everyone could feel the magic in the air change as other non-visible security protocols started activating.
The family made their way inside the house. Once everyone was everyone was inside the door shut behind them. “Gideon, please take everyone’s bags and belongings and place them in their bedrooms,” said James. “Yes sir.” came Gideon’s voice from all around them. Then everyone’s bags were silently teleported to their rooms. “Alright everyone, kids’ rooms are on the third floor. Adults’ rooms are on the second. Training rooms as well as armories and workshops are on the sub-levels. Your rooms connect to your personal armories, workshops, and training rooms also. The kitchen, living, dining, and hang-out spaces are on this level. There are secret tunnels and passageways throughout the house, so be wary of those. Our Phoenix Corps base of operations, as well as our hero base, are on the lowest sublevels, accessible through the elevators in your rooms. The docking bays are on the top floor, also accessible through said elevators. You guys can discover everything else for yourself.” Percy finished with a smirk.
Everyone was frozen in shock, elation, and excitement, even the Manor on the Chaotic Plaine didn’t have all of these different amenities. They slowly started making their way up the stairs to find their rooms. The kids walked upstairs together but separated and went to find their rooms. Harry walked with his sister and found two doors right next to each other. The doors each had an animal on them, the one on the left had an Otter on it while the other had a Phoenix. “Well I guess we know who’s is who’s,” Hermione says as she walks towards the door with the Otter on it. She presses a button and the door opens. She then crosses the threshold into her room.
Harry stands there after she walks into her room, just staring at his door. “Hey Har, what’s up?” Percy asks as he walks over to Harry. Harry turns his head to look at him. “Nothing.” He replies. Percy gives him a deadpan look. Harry sighs “I guess, that- I don’t know, it's just that if I walk into this door then everything has officially changed, and I don't want things to change. I don’t want to go to school. I don't want to live on this planet. I don't want to live here in this manor. Don’t get me wrong, this house is awesome. It's just I don't want things to change. I want to go home.” “This is our-” Percy starts before Harry cuts him off “I swear to the gods if you say this is our home now, I'm going to fucking kill you.”
Percy takes a minute to phrase his thoughts before talking again. “I was originally going to say that, but now that I think about it. You’re right.” He pauses “You know when I and Zoё had to leave the Chaotic Plaine for the first time, I didn’t want to leave. I mean we had grown up there, that had been our home since we were born. And I hated leaving. I mean really hated it, and every time we moved from one place to another, Zoё would always say “this our home now” and I hated when she did that. So no, I'm not going to tell you that, but what I will tell you is this. Change is scary, believe me, I know. But not all change is bad. It can be good. Now yes, that night six years ago was a bad change, but this is a good change. Think of it as starting a new chapter of our lives. The Chaotic Plaine will always be your favorite chapter, and you can always go back to it but you need to keep going on with the story. It’s not like we can never go back to the Plaine, but you will grow to love this place as your home, trust me.” He finishes with a breath.
“How do you know I will grow to love It?” Harry asks softly. “Because I did,” Percy responds. Harry just looks at him and nods. “C’mon, let’s go check out your room,” Percy says. Harry opens the door and walks through the doorway. Percy follows. “Thank you,” Harry says quietly. Percy looks at him and nods. Harry's face turns from one of thoughtfulness to one of shock and excitement as they walk further into the room. “Wow, this-this is awesome,” Harry says while smiling.
He walks around his room, which was HUGE. There was a full-size bed against the wall in the middle of the room. A nightstand with a keypad, holo-keyboard, a holo-projector, a weapons rack with a 1911 Tac, 2 WESTAR-35, KA-BAR USMC knife, collapsible sword, lightsaber, and two of Harry’s wands; all with Phoenix Corps modifications on them. On the far left side of the room was a window alcove. Next to that was a desk with all kinds of tech, tools, unfinished projects, and all sorts of things on it. Other things in the room were the entrances to Harry’s personal armory, Phoenix Corps armory, hero armory, and workshop.
He had a full-size bathroom with a HUGE walk-in closet, half of it was full of earth-style clothing; magical and regular style, while the other half was full of Harry’s personalized Jedi robes, and others of the sort. Harry looks back at Percy who says “This control panel allows you to choose which style of clothing you want.” he motions to the control panel next to the entrance to the closet. “So I can choose whatever kind of clothes I want?” Harry questions. “You can choose the type you want to replace your Jedi robes, your earth clothes will stay. You can choose from anything you own in your wardrobe.” Harry owned a LOT of clothes and Percy giving him access to all of them was certain to cause chaos, which Percy knew and was fully prepared for, but he didn't tell that little fact to Harry.
“Wait a minute, where are my formal clothes? Like my Phoenix Corps uniform, and my Guardian uniform, and my other stuff?” Harry asks. “Ah, well follow me,” Percy says while walking to the back wall of the closet which slides away leading to another room. Harry follows Percy and suddenly stops in his tracks. “Whoa, This is-” “Yep, your very own command center.”
“ It’s connected to ALL of the Guardian and Phoenix Corps servers, as well as the Phoenix Corps Sub-agencies.” Percy finishes. In the center of the room there was a Holo display with everything it needs(Think the things that are in the middle of rebel bases in the movies). He sees his uniforms in display cases in the back of the room next to weapon cases as well as combat suits in cases. All had control panels next to them, to operate the shoots Harry guessed. This whole setup was in other places around the room next to doors with different animals on them, the others’ mini armory he assumes. He sees three docking bays on one side of the room and three more on the other side. There are common areas around the room in various places. Oh did he mention that the room was MASSIVE. Suddenly an alarm rang through the speakers all around the room.
