Chapter 1 : Impossible, or just improbable?

Disclaimer; You know the drill. Anything you recognize is not mine (I wish), I don\'t make money (at all in fact), and if you don\'t sue I won\'t tell your mother that you read this kind of stories.

A/N: This is the first story I have decided to publish even though it is a WIP. It hasn\'t been beta\'ed, so there might be typos and bad grammar, but please don\'t spank me for it. English is not my native language. Oh, and if you do find any, or merely wish to comment, please leave feedback. If you only wish to flame, don\'t bother, as it will only make yourself look stupid. After all, there are all kinds of warnings here. Oh, and thanks for the reviews. :D Lilith, I hope you aren\'t too disappointed that Harry is not Salazar. After all, we know even less about Merlin in canon, so I feel that I can be more free with his personality and magical powers than any of the founders. But I can tell you as much as that Harry\'s Slytherin side will show in this fic. (Because I do believe he has one.) ^.^

Warnings: This is a slash story, meaning that Severus and Harry will do all kinds of naughty things together. There will also be some underage experimentation in this story, but the story is meant to cover several years so they will both be consenting adults in no time. Oh, and I have a twisted mind, so basically anything can happen. Don\'t say I didn\'t warn you.

On with the show.



Chapter 1 : Impossible, or just improbable?

It was a week later that Harry finally woke up. The smell in the room reminded him of the Hogwarts infirmary, but when he opened his eyes he didn’t recognize the room. The lights were off, but the door was open and let in light from the hallway. He could hear faint sounds of people moving about elsewhere in the building, and the murmur of a conversation happening several rooms away. Harry tossed the blanket off him and moved to sit up, but an intense pain in his back made him freeze, and then slowly lower himself back onto the bed.

Don’t. You were quite severely hurt.

Harry’s eyes went wide.

“Who are you?”

He more felt than heard a small chuckle, and couldn’t quite determine if it had come from himself, or if it was all inside him.

My name is Merlin. You may have heard…

“Merlin?!”

Harry passed out again.

Ron had been sitting in a chair in the hallway, reading an old Quidditch magazine he had found in a waiting room. It took his mind a few seconds to process what he had heard, but when it did he jumped out of the chair and rushed into Harry’s room just in time to hear him whisper Merlin and pass out.

When Harry woke up again it was to Ron’s voice.

“…and then he said ‘Oh Merlin’ and passed out. I looked around the room, but there were no one else in here with him. There are anti-apparition wards here, so at first I thought someone might be hiding under an invisibility cloak, but I checked the entire room before you got here, and if someone were here they wouldn’t have been able to move without making a sound.”

As soon as Ron stopped to draw a breath, Harry injected;

“There wasn’t anyone in here.”

“Harry! You’re awake!”

Ron rushed over to the bed. The nurse he had been talking to cast a quick spell over Harry, then she smiled at him and left with a quick;

“I’ll get the mediwizard then.”

“I’ve been so worried for you mate. And ‘Mione refused to go home with her parents. She and mum are sleeping in a room down the hall. We have been taking shifts. And… How are you?”

“I’m… fine. My back hurts.”

Who is this then?

Only a light widening of his eyes revealed Harry’s surprise. He hadn’t imagined the voice. Ron started talking and Harry decided to ignore the voice.

“You popped out of thin air right at the entrance to Hogwarts and gave the Aurors there a fright. They still haven’t figured out how you managed to apparate through the wards. Dad tells me they have had a team of Unspeakables out there ever since you did it. The fact that you were unconscious makes the whole thing even weirder. What did you do?”

“I… I don’t know. The last thing I remember is… Killing Peter Pettigrew.”

Harry let his head fall back and stared at the ceiling. Ron drew a deep breath and sat down on the edge of the bed.

“Whooah mate. You… He.. Whooah. You avenged your parents.”

Ron then grabbed Harry’s hand and gave it a squeeze.

In the silence Harry thought about what had happened. He winced slightly when he remembered Snape sacrificing himself. In a way it all made sense now. Dumbledore must have foreseen it. Harry suddenly remembered why Dubledore hadn’t told him everything in his 5th year. Could that be why Snape had been so mean all the time? Could it be that he had been afraid that Voldemort would have similar visions as the ones he had had? That Voldemort would find out about his spying from Harry?

Yes, you are most likely correct.

“Why…”

Harry snapped his mouth shut, while Ron looked at him questioningly. Thinking fast Harry came up with a different question than the one he was going to ask.

“Is everyone else ok?”

Ron looked down and let go of Harry’s hand to wring his own together, looking slightly apprehensive.

You can talk to me using your mind you know. You don’t have to speak up loud.

Harry frowned slightly, then he tried, just as Ron spoke again.

Who are you?

“They still haven’t found Percy. And Tonks may be blind. They don’t know yet. And Trelawney is dead. She threw herself from the tower when a couple of Death Eaters broke in to kidnap her.”

I told you. My name is Merlin.

“Shacklebolt lost an arm. They are trying to regrow it, but the curse used seems to prevent it, and they haven’t been able to break it yet. And McGonnagal appears to be stuck in her animagus form. Or maybe she is still in shock and can’t transform back. They can’t figure out which it is.”

You can’t be Merlin. He died over a thousand years ago.

“Fred took a nasty blow to the head, and now both he and George are suffering from headaches. Oh, and you won’t believe this, Draco defected and claims his father had had him under the Imperius Curse.”

So I did. And now I am reborn, as you.

“He says that the spell broke when someone put Lucius under Imperius, but so far the Aurors haven’t been able to find Lucius. But that doesn’t matter because Draco has agreed to take Veritaserum for his trial. Can you believe that?”

How can…

“What? He would do that?”

“Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either, but dad says they have flooed in a Potions Master from France to make sure that the Veritaserum is fresh and brewed properly, and there are a whole battalion of Aurors guarding Draco from assassination attempts by other Death Eaters.”

How can you be me? I mean, I be you? Err.. How can we be the same person?

‘Well, as far as I have been able to determine reincarnation works in such a way that when someone are reborn they will remember nothing of their previous life, or lives as it may be, but in our case I was able to break through in the moment before your last heartbeat, and well… We are basically two personalities with one soul and one body.’

“Harry?” Ron waved his hand in front of Harry’s eyes. He was slightly worried. Harry shook his head then he smiled faintly at Ron.

“It’s nothing, just bad memories. Why don’t you go wake up Hermione and your mum?”

Just then the nurse came back together with a mediwizard and an Auror, so Ron just nodded and left.
