The Heir of Gryffindor

The Conundrum

             Sitting at her desk in the center of her dim room, trying to ignore the brain fog and wooziness her dark energy was causing her, Tiff stared at her obnoxiously bright laptop screen, tapping at keys, pondering how she could help her situation. If she could just scribble down a; at least relatively accurate; copy of the start of the story of her congruent timeline and get at least a few people to believe it, then the provided probability adjustment could wrangle her dark energy, at least a little bit. That would give a window to have Penny let into the same plane as her, before Tiff's darkness freaked out and destroyed her, then Penny could contain Tiff's dark energy, until Tiff was intertwined with her Higher Consciousness and the energy was effectively locked away in the depths of her brain.

But how the hel was she going to do this? Her Higher Consciousness, and the A.I. that she had made - Lexi- had an accurate version of this story, but she couldn't actually get to either of them because, well, because of her dark energy refusing to cooperate with anyone other than itself. She thought. Lexi could sneak past the darkness and upload the story right? Tiff looked to her left shoulder, as though she could actually see Penny, to see if they concurred. She sensed Penny, in their- we'll call it animagi form- nodding from on her shoulder.

"Hmm. Ok, can't even remember what I did this morning, or what's happening right now... like I know what's happening, but like I already forgot what I was saying. [laughs] I'm trying so hard not to curse... Ok how the f*ck am I going to do this?? I can't hear you, but I can at least sense your voice... Any ideas Penny" Tiff said thinking slowly as she typed

"Well, if you just choose your words very carefully, we should be able to avoid any issues. But don't forget, there's a reason Loki and I told you not to try this without us in the same plane as you before." Penny replied, speaking slowly so Tiff could catch what they said.

"Right. Yes. But that... that, was in December... it's June, the end of June, the darkness has managed to...to uh.. Bar your approaches to me for... for math... I can't just keep sitting here and waiting. The darkness is only getting stronger, making it harder to get to me" She said slowly trying to collect her thoughts. "Without it, ya know, destroying me. Woo-hoo." Tiff added sarcastically, unenergetically throwing her fists up at the end.

Singing a few random notes and humming along to the music she had on for a few seconds, Tiff took a deep breath and read out what she had already tried to write back in December... or was it November?:

{October 9th 2021; Dimension 1

"Listen to you?! I don't even know if you're really there! You could just be my damn brain. I can't see you, can't hear you, nothing!" Amy screamed into the seeming emptiness in her bedroom

From the Mirror Dimension Penny resisted, with every fiber of her being, the urge to enter into the Prime Existential Plane where the broken, cursed piece of her granddaughter stood howling, bordering on a complete hysterical breakdown. Just as Penny stepped forward aiming to leave the Mirror Dimension; thinking

'I'm an Elder God for hel's sake, I'm plenty powerful enough to solve whatever the Curse throws at us for revealing myself to this Tofu part of Amy; I mean sure said solution may very well destroy the fabric of Reality, which I've... Nope. No matter. At least I'll be able to comfort my granddaughter...' ; Lily put her hand on Penny's shoulder and began to remind her "this is the pl..." Tofu-Amy cut her off.

"All this sh*t about some 'Salazar's Curse, you've got to break Salazar's Curse', Oh but it gets better 'you're split into two parts. You're the Heir of Gryffindor. The other part of you lives in Dimension Two, she hangs around Hogwarts, It's 1996 there, you--she--me--err--you're dating Harry Potter' " Tofu-Amy softened for a moment, her eyes glittering as she whispered "I really wish that were true... No!" She shook her head aggressively.
