Companions

Harry groaned as the lancing pain in his head faded along with the memory.

He looked up to see Godric and Merlin smiling at him, along with a new face, Arthur from the memory that had just released him.

"Welcome back, young one. I would like to introduce you to Arthur." Godric grinned, looking like he felt some semblance to the awe that Harry felt at seeing The King Arthur in his mindscape, much like he had felt when he had first met Merlin.

"We have already filled Arthur in on everything that has happened." Merlin smiled.

"Well met young Harry. I am proud to meet you, and to find that my name has survived so far beyond my time." Arthur offered his hand while Harry shook with a grin.

"Welcome to my mind, Arthur?" Harry clarified, smiling as Arthur nodded.

"So,who did you follow from the underworld?" Harry asked and Arthur chuckled before going silent.

"Mordred, my nephew." Arthur growled.

"I'm sorry sir. That must be hard." Harry said his head lowered.

Merlin clapped his hands, gathering their attention.

"Okay so we are now all here it seems. We have Godric Gryffindor, co-founder of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, ancestor to Harry here." Merlin motioned to Godric.

"Arthur, King of the Britons, leader of the Knight of the Round Table. With no relation to Harry." Merlin added with a grin.

"And myself, Merlin Emrys. Apparent god in the eyes of the current wizarding world." Merlin joked as the four stood facing each other

"We know what is happening in the world. Goes from our times have escaped the underworld, and work to obtain bodies in the living world. this we cannot allow." Merlin paused, meeting the gaze of each of the others.

"Ew must prepare your young friend Harry here to face the foes we did in life. Only then can the underworld be closed off once more and the world of the living return to the way it should be. The dead have no place with the living." Merlin nodded then.

"Are we ready to prepare our young friend?" The nods answered Merlin's question and the three men turned toHarry.

"Are you ready to become our instrument, to take the world?" Merlin asked with a lopsided smile on his face.

Harry grinned.

"I am."

Harry groaned, waking up in his dorm he shared with the fifth year boys. He was glad he hadn't been moved into the sixth year boys dorms; he didn't know any of them very well. But the thoughts of sleeping in the Hall of the Brave were looking better, he would have to deal with the others and that bed was the most comfortable bed he had ever felt.

He pushed himself up onto his elbows, taking a deep breath before climbing out of bed to have a shower.

Once he finished, he dressed and made his way down to the common room, to find it empty. He continued out of the common room, making his way outside the castle and wondering if Sirius would still join him for his morning workout.

Harry by now, thanks to many rituals he had been doing, could perform harder and longer workouts than Sirius could keep up with.looking at his watch, it was five in the morning and the sun hadn't risen, leaving the grounds shrouded in darkness.
