Artemis Fowl and the future rewritten

Jealousy

Artemis Fowl and Hermione Granger were having a discussion. But Artemis had to admit, it wasn't merely a discussion, it was a discussion that was bordering on an intellectual argument. They were talking about the advantages and disadvantages of Muggle and Wizarding technology, or the lack thereof.

'I don't think that Muggle technology and Wizarding should be mixed, it's simply barbaric, but I have to admit you have got a point about the fact-'

They were interrupted by Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, both of whom looked as if they were quite happy to be anywhere but here. Artemis wondered why they had even come here.

'Oh, hello, Potter,' he said, coldly. His voice was the one he had used in Russia all those years ago, during the kidnap of his father. 'As unsightly as always, I see.'

'Fowl,' replied Potter, his voice was cold, but laced with confusion. He had seemed all right on the Hogwarts Express, but why was he acting like this now?

Before he could voice his thoughts, Artemis's phone began to ring.

'Yes?' Harry couldn't help but wonder if this was the way Fowl had answered every call in his life. It certainly seemed like it. He was spared asking when Fowl shifted to another language, and started to walk away without even taking notice of them.

Hermione was staring after him, frowning, as if trying to find the answer for a difficult question. She was silent for a while, simply gazing after him, and Harry began to wonder if she was starstruck.

Ron broke the silence first. 'What is up with him?' he asked. Harry couldn't agree more, but lately, he had been distant from all of them, as if in his own world, and not necessarily a good one. Harry was worried about him, and he knew Hermione was, too.

'Oh, honestly Ron!' cried Hermione suddenly. 'Don't you two notice anything? He was jealous of you and disgusted with you!'

'Why?' now he was confused. He could understand him being jealous of him; he could be the type of person who wanted to be on the spotlight, but him being disgusted? That just didn't add up. He looked at Hermione for an answer, hoping that she'll elaborate.

She just shook her head at them. 'He was jealous because your parents were dead Harry!'

'But I don't understand, why? It's a curse, not a blessing!' Harry was nearly shouting now.

'Oh, don't you listen to the news once in a while?' she threw up her hands in the air. Then she went on, with the air of someone explaining that one plus one was two to a stubborn child, 'His father went missing when he was eleven years old, with only his bodyguard and mother to take care of him. Then his mother went insane, and all he had was his bodyguard, someone called Butler.' Harry wisely chose not to comment on the name.

'But wasn't he taken to an orphanage?' asked Ron.

'No, he completely floored all the lawyers with his intelligence,' said Hermione, looking admiring and disapproving all at once, if it was possible. 'Then when he was twelve, his mother mysteriously comes out of her mental condition, with little to no help from her therapists. And it was widely believed that Artemis was the one responsible for that.'

'So I get that he was jealous because I didn't remember my mother and father, but he did?' Harry asked. 'Well, that is sad, knowing that your mother was insane, but he did manage to make her a cure.'

'Your right, Harry,' agreed Hermione. 'And he was disgusted at you because he did something to save his mother and father, but you didn't do anything about it at all.' She looked at her watch, suddenly startled out of her reverie. 'Oh no, I'm late for class,' she whispered, and in no time, she was lost among the throng of students.

Just then, one the things she said came to his mind. 'He saved his mother and father?'

But she was gone, leaving Harry feeling devastated for not doing anything to avenge his parents' deaths. He resolved, there and now, to do anything that was within his power to avenge his parents' deaths.

---A/N This chapter is one of the most important parts of the story, and the thing that makes Harry does something that he has to do...

And about Artemis, he has final started to think with his heart, which might have made him a little melodramatic---

As always, Read, Vote & comment----

P.S. If you didn't understand why he's jealous: it's because he was brought up by them and then his father went missing and his mother had depression. But Harry didn't know his parents, and his loss was considerably less, in Artemis's mind.

P.P.S. And Artemis's phone wasn't a coincidence, he was called because Opal had done something- again.
