Saving You

Chapter 6

Harrison's POV
"You were abused?" Marvolo asked.

I nodded.

"How bad?" He asked.

"If I didn't have any magic in me, I would have died the day they started punishing me for not completing the chores they gave me. Honestly, no one could complete those." I said.

"Someone should have checked on you?" He asked.

"The old man said I was pampered and treated like a prince. No one even questioned him." I said.

"That is so him." He said.

"My relatives didn't allow me to reply to the owls that came telling me I had to study in Hogwarts. He sent Hagrid to get me." I said.

"He sent Hagrid. Was he out of his mind?" He shouted.

"You could think that. He brainwashed me that Slytherins were bad and that all Dark Lords come from that house. Then I met a Weasley on the train. He was my first friend as my relatives never let anyone be friendly with me. Malfoy insulted Weasley and then got into Slytherin. I didn't want to be sorted into the same house as him, so when the hat said I could do better in Slytherin, I asked to be placed anywhere but there, so I was sorted into Gryffindor." I said.

"A Snake in Lion's clothing." He said with a smile.

"You can say that. Your future self tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone that was in Gringotts but failed because Hagrid was tasked to take it from the bank the day he introduced me to the wizarding world." I said.

"The hurcruxes had a major effect on my intelligence. I know that Gringotts is impossible to steal from." He said.

I gave a smile remembering escaping Gringotts on a dragon after stealing the Hufflepuff cup.

"You possessed Quirrell and taught DADA in my first year. During Samhian, you tried to steal the stone but faced a troll and led it into th school because you wanted people to get that while you got the stone, but you couldn't. A lot happened. You were able to get to the stone at the end of the first year, but you couldn't get the stone out of the mirror of ERISED. I appeared at that very moment and I could get the stone because I needed the stone and I didn't want to use the stone. You asked Quirrell to get it from me. When he tried, I put my hand on his face to stop me, which killed him, and you were once again a writh." I said.

"That was a lot." He said.

"Second year was all about your diary horcrux. Lucius Malfoy, son of Abraxas Malfoy, dropped the diary you gave him into the youngest Weasley daughter's couldron. She started writing to the diary about me. That was how your diary self knew about the timeline he was in. When in school, he made her open the Chamber of Secrets. Many muggleborns were petrified. Then, during the end of the year, Ginerva Weasley, the youngest Weasley, was taken into the Chamber. Ronald Weasley, the youngest Weasley male, and I, along with Gilderoy Lockhart, a fraud who was brought to teach DADA, went to Moaning Mrytle's bathroom and opened the trapdoor. I was named the heir of Slytherin because I could speak with snakes. I got to know that when a snake was about to attack a classmate and I stopped it by telling it to stop in parseltongue. In the end, I had to kill the basilisk with the Gryffindor sword. While I stabbed it, a fang peirced my arm. I used the fang to stab your diary. When your form disappeared, Ginerva started to wake up slowly. Fawkes healed my wound. We escaped the chamber with the help of Fawkes." I said.

"My sixteen year old self was quite self-centered in seems. I wouldn't have released the basilisk if I was still sane." He said as he leaned back onto the counch and sighed.

"Third year was the only year where you were not involved. Sirius Black escaped Azkaban, and it was said that he was out for my blood. So the minister, in all his intelligence, let dementors hover around Hogwarts. We met Sirius at the end of the year. Remus Lupin was a werewolf. He forgot to take his Wolfsbane, a potion developed by Severus Snape to control the Werewolf and retain your human mind. He turned into his werewolf and tried to kill us. We found that Peter Pettigrew was still alive. He escaped during the chaos. We had to rescue Sirius and send him away on a hippogriff we saved from execution the same day." I said.

"Even if I wasn't involved, a load has happened. And who was the minister who allowed dementors near children?" Marvolo asked.

"That was Cornelius Fudge. He was the type to hide away when danger came." I said.

"Maybe we should not allow him to become the minister this time." Marvolo said. 

"I'm never letting it happen." I said.

"The fourth year was where you rose to power again. Dumbledore had announced the Triwizard Tournament. I was forced to participate in it thanks to your future self's medling. I had to endure the animocity of all three schools: Hogwarts, Durmstrung, and Beuxbatons. At the third task, I was whisked from the grounds to the graveyard your father was buried along with Cedric Diggory because the cup was turned into a portkey. He was killed. Your future self planned a ritual that involved the bones of your father, flesh of your servant or ally, and blood of your enemy. Pettigrew must have butchered the potion because you looked like a snake and human hybrid. We fought. I knew I couldn't hold against you, so I acciod the cup and Diggory. We landed back in Hogwarts, and people thought I killed him. I told people that Voldemort was back, but who would want to believe a fourteen year old boy." I scoffed the last part.

"I know that ritual. It is used to gain your body back the way it was before the soul was separated from the body. He did butcher the ritual because if he did it right, I would've looked how I am looking like right now." He said. "Your blood would've made sure that I wouldn't die if I tried to touch you."

"That might be why you touched me and said, 'I could touch him now.' My blood in you must've allowed you to touch me without hurting yourself." I said.

Marvolo nodded.
