Harry Potter the Master of None (Adopted Version)

Articus ... RIDDLE?

A/N: I am sorry that this has taken so long. I recently started college and had a family member pass away, so I was busy with so many things that I had no time to update anything in this story. I hope that you find this new installment of this story interesting enough to continue to read. Thanks for reading!

Harry's P.O.V.

As we got closer to this human's home I started to smell his scent more densely in the area. I mean it makes sense that there would be a more concentrated scent from him closer to where he resides. The problem is that if I could smell him so could the other creatures that inhabit this forest. I guess for now I will just need to keep my senses out for anything out of the ordinary. More than anything though, I am curious about who this person is, how he got here, and how he can breathe without a re-breather on in this atmosphere? I am pretty sure I will figure these things out eventually, but the curiosity of my Celestial Fox nature is kicking in at full force right now.

Soon enough we cam up upon a cottage like hut. The entire cottage was covered in oak like wood and mossy covered stones. There was also vines that seemed to be decorating the exterior windows of the cottage that made it look like a mythical cottage that a fairy would live in when being secluded in the forest. Anyways, I walked slightly behind the man as we made our way towards the cottage door. As soon as we hit the perimeter of the house I sensed something that I wasn't expecting; Magic Wards. But that is impossible...Wizards' were the first things to become extinct in the End of Earth. We were hunted down to almost extinction. Almost extinction being the fact that I still live. But now that I know that there is another Wizard out here, what are the possibilities that there are more of our kind looming on different planets? What if there are more survivors.

Soon the man pulled out a wand that instantly made my hackles rise. It was the one wand that I would never ever mistake for another. It was a wand that I could never forget in my entire existence; it was Voldemort's  wand. How did this man get that wand, and why did he have it in the first place?

I started to growl looking at the wand that he was holding, and the man turned out to see why I was growling, and when he saw where my attention was drawn to, he smiled sadly before speaking words that shot shock through my core being.

"It's alright little one. This is my ancestral wand. It was first used by my great great great grandfather who was not a good man. It was kept in our families possession so that it would never fall into some crazed person's hands again. I protect it while using it sense it is easier to use a ancestors' wand instead of making one yourself nowadays. There isn't a lot of magic cores that can be used now that there is no Earth with them. I have heard that substitutes could be used, but I have yet to find such as substitute to make my own personalized wand. Anyways, as I guard this wand from the wrong hands I also use it to make my life slightly easier. For example, I warded this place so that unless showed to it or granted permission to enter, no one or thing can enter. I also use this wand to wash the dishes easier, and I also use it to use point me spells just in case I loose sight of the trail that leads back here. I also forgot to introduce myself to you didn't I? My bad. My name is Articus Riddle. I came to this planet while the Earth was ending. I know of no other of my kind that may still be alive, but I hope that in the future I will find someone else."

Oh my Merlin. I just heard that correct? I am not hallucinating that he just spoke that right? I can't be hallucinating that, I have waited to long for this to be just my imagination making words that sound great to my brain appear.

You are not hallucinating at all Harry. All that he just said is something that he actually spoke. You have possibly found the second to last of Wizard kind, you being the first of course. I think now would be the best time to introduce yourself as also being a Wizard to Articus here. That way your relationship doesn't start out in lies. After all, he just told you the truth about himself, the best thing to do is to return the favor. 

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. I guess that is the best thing to be done. Alright wish me luck Cosmos.

You won't need luck from me Harry, you already have all the luck you will ever really need already within you. But nonetheless, good luck.

'You speak the truth Articus Riddle. You are a Wizard for sure. I thought that they went extinct with the End of Earth. But here you stand before me alive.' I spoke telepathically so that I could ease him into my transforming back into my human self.

"Wait how are you speaking to me right now?" Articus asked in shocked confusion.

'I speak telepathically in this form. I have been looking for another of my kind for centuries. To have found one here is a great hope for me. I have been so lonely thinking I was the only Wizard left. I spent up until the very last moments of Earth trapped within a muggle lab being tortured for my immortal abilities. To find that at least one of my kind made it off to Earth without suffering the tortures that I went through is of great relief. My name is Harry Potter. I defeated your Great Great Great Grandfather in battle all those years ago. The fact that you hold his wand was what was of the greatest concern to me until your explanation. I will now turn back into my human self so that I may look upon you with the eyes of a human and not a Celestial Fox.' I once again spoke telepathically.

"Harry Potter. You're Harry Potter. I thought that you had died long ago! Please do turn back to your human form! I have also been waiting years to be able t look at someone human once more. I can't believe it! Finally someone of my kind that I can interact with at long last." Articus spoke in enthusiastic excitement.

I shifted at the end of his speech and held out my hand in greeting.

"Harry Potter, it is a great pleasure to get to know you Articus Riddle. I hope that this meeting is one of many to come in the future. I hope to become great friends." I spoke normally this time taking off the re-breather since I know I won't really need it even if most creatures would.

"Articus Riddle, it is also a pleasure to make your acquaintance and friendship Harry Potter." Articus spoke.

At that moment both of our magics flooded out of our conjoined hands and wrapped around the other in a sealing of a friendship bond. 

Well this was a fun exploration for sure. I just made a new friend. Just wait until Hulion hears about this one.

AN: Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I really enjoyed adding Articus into the fold of characters. See you in the next chapter!
