A Different Fate

Chapter Two

Meeting of the Fates

A/N: do not own Harry Potter wish I did I be rich. And not a poor college student.

Lilly walked over picking up the baby horcrux both father and son looked at her with a look of disbelief wondering why she was caring it but didn’t say anything. The family was soon standing in front of a giant golden gate. James looked at Harry “Here is the deal son after you leave here I do not want to be greeting you any time soon. Not till you lived a long life and have given us tons of grandchildren to watch over. “ James said messing Harry’s hair up.

James smiled watching his son blush and nod his head, “No problem da.. dad…” Harry said smiling. Harry looked at his father it was strange for him to have someone look at him the way his parents were. He knew they loved him no matter what he did, he knew Mr. and Mrs. Weasley cared for him. They said they thought of him like a son but after Ron’s actions this past year was making him wonder if he ever did something they didn’t like would they turn their backs on him like their son did. He smiled happy that he didn’t have to worry about that.

“Well Harry welcome to the afterlife of heaven or whatever you wish to call it.” James said walking in Harry walked in. It was perfect everyone was happy, but not in a creepy sort way. Harry smiled most the buildings were old fashion he could see mixtures of all the cultures and some of the modern era.

“Come on Harry this way.” Lilly said walking she lead him and James threw the city. After walking around the city, Harry would see every so often an angel. He rubbed his eyes and followed his mom. He wasn’t sure why but seeing a dragon was less shock than seeing an angel. Lilly looked at Harry knowing why he was surprised. “Sorry Harry we can’t tell you about the afterlife. All we can do is take you to see the elder fate.” She said smiling.

They took Harry to what looked like the Buckingham Palace. “Wait she lives here?”

“She has good taste doesn’t she.” James said smiling as he walked past the guards and entered into the building.

Harry walked through the palace and saw tapestries of history on the walls. It was showing the beheading of some of the monarchy’s. Harry stopped seeing one of Lady Jane Grey, he knew who she was since he had to study about her in school. Harry sighed soon following his parents he always felt bad for her. Soon he stood with his parents his mother looked at him. “Harry you should wait here for a bit.” She said and walked in with James, leaving Harry to wait for what seemed like two hours which was really only sixteen minutes. When she walked out she smiled standing with James. “Sorry Harry but you have to go in by yourself.” She gave her son a hug. Harry smiled hugging her back and James smiled patting him on the back. “Go luck Harry.” James said smiling down at him son.

Harry smiled at his parents “see yea mom, dad.” He said and walked into the room. He looked around the room was huge he could see a couple tapestries half done. Harry saw a bunch of thread that seemed to have sets for each generation; he knew that was the thread of life. He looked at a wall seeing thread that were framed he could see Hitler’s name Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Merlin’s, all the founding fathers of Hogwarts, Joan of Arc, Cleopatra. It seemed every great man or woman thread of life have been framed. Then he saw on that said Tom Marvolo Riddle, below that it said Lord Voldemort there was a thread cut and a spot for more threads.

“Hello, you must be Harry James Potter. Of course you are since you are the one I have big plans for. Lets get down to business.” He heard a woman speak it was a kind elder woman. He turned around seeing a woman sitting in a desk she looked to be around sixty-six. The elder lady smiled she had the feeling of a kind grandmother everyone loves, she had her hair cut short and it was silver she wore a nice green dress. He looked at her eyes to see that they were sky blue and held a lot of wisdom. “Sit, sit my boy would you like some tea.” She said while seeing Harry taking a seat she waved her hand. He thought it would appear in front of him but no. Some fairies came in bring the tea for both of them, one of the fairies bowed to Harry before leaving.

“I saw that you had been looking at all of Europe’s and Africa’s famous life threads. Let me guess you are wondering why he has seven spots on the wall and only one is filled. You see Harry Tom has become a big problem for us. Like the others you saw they only had one thread for their life. The problem is Tom should have died a long time ago but since he made those blasted horcruxes we can’t kill him. The thing was Tom was going to be the next Albus Dumbledore and we had someone else planned out to fight. But Tom went the other path since certain key figures did things different. But I won’t go into detail of what should have been. Know this Harry. Tom is a cruel and evil man if you didn’t jump in the way for Cedric, the deaths would follow as so Cedric would have been killed, then Sirius, Albus, Hedwig, Moody, George Weasley has his ear cursed off by Snape, Rufus Scrimgeour is killed protecting were you were hiding at, Dobby dies coming to save you and your two friends. Then Severus Snape dies at Hogwarts along with Lupin, Tonks, Colin Creevey, Fred Weasley. There is a lot of muggleborns who die, lots of students lose their families. And Harry before you go back you need to know Snape is a good guy. But none of the deaths matter since things have changed. Some of the people I have said may still die. They will all die in the end but it is only time.” She said smiling at Harry.

“Now we have new plans for this time around. You shall learn these plans over time. Also do not bother trying to learn who will die and how. I can’t risk you trying to save every single person. Now if I send you back now there won’t be much changes. And since you’re here that means you want training. Which I have set up for you, know this. This will not be a walk in the park. It will be nothing like your time in Hogwarts, this will make Hogwarts look like a nap. Harry my boy I will having you trained by the best there is.”

“Now, during the time you are here for your training will last six years.” Harry had a look of shock on his face. “No need for that look, my boy. What I should have said, it will feel like six years.” She waved her hand and he could see the hospital wing were his body was being examined. “I have placed your body in a coma. Which, you will wake up from on your birthday. See the only problem is you won’t gain any physical training. But my younger sister wanted me to tell you her gift. She is having some of the potions that they have to give you on the last week. Make your body strength and musical memory fit to how you are the day you go back. Now you be getting the best training, since your teachers so far are the founders of Hogwarts and all of the greatest wizards that your teachers never bother to teach about. Merlin asked me to tell you how much he is looking forward to meeting you and being your teacher. He can tell you once you meet him.” She said while going threw her papers and organizing them. “Though I will warn you he likes his pranks, your parents will be helping also. Lets see we have Alexander, I think Caesar wants to help too. And my sisters have offered to send some of their greatest heroes and villains to help teach you. Before you ask why the villains will be helping they learned their lessons.” She said while looking over some papers. She looked up and saw the clock.

“I’m so sorry Harry. I thought I had more time to talk to you. I have to get going, I won’t be seeing you till your training is done. I better get going have to go make sure certain people make the right choices. You will be staying with your parents. They know all about your training and everything that you should be doing for the next six years. Enjoy your time with them. Nice meeting you Harry and keep your chin up alright.” She smiled at him.

Harry nodded and left felling as though he should not be there anymore. He bowed “It was nice to meet you too,” he said then left.

Once outside the room he noticed his parents were waiting for him smiling. “Well son ready to go see were you will be staying. For the next six years.” James said with a huge grin on his face.

Harry smiled looking at them “yeah I am.” All he could think was how crazy his day has been going.

“Now Harry. Don’t think the next six years will be a walk in the park.” Lilly said walking next to Harry. “We have been able to watch you Harry. And I’m a little disappointed in you. You should have been studying more instead of always goofing off. You won’t like it but it been better if you listen to Hermione more. I blame Petunia and her horrible husband.” Lilly went on a rant of how important school is.

Harry smiled listing to his mom and walking with his dad. He didn’t care about the lectures he was just happy enough to be with his parents.
