Harry Potter Down Under

Chara (22)

Yay! Another chapter for you! 

Sans didn't leave the boy alone again after that, not that they were at the lab much longer. It was barely a day after Harry had attempted to...you know... that Sans got a call on his phone.

"Harry, okay, we are going to go help Frisk, okay?"

"Frisk needs your help?"

"Our help. They need both of us to be there, okay?"

"She doesn't need me, but I'll go if you want me to. Will it be dangerous, and do I need to bring anything?"

"Nah it should be f-"

"You soul. You need to go so they can take you soul."

"-ine. Come on." The skeleton held out his hand for the child to take. Young Harry smiled and tried to ignore the spirit.

"Ahh, so you have finally figured it out?"

~Yes. You are Chara, child of Toriel and sibling to prince Asriel.~

"How did you figure it out?" The voice sounded sad, but empty at the same time. Like dropping your last penny into a well, only to realize there is no magic.

~They told me.~
"They?"

~The reviewers.~
"What?"

~Nevermind.~

The boy and Sans continued to the door as Harry toyed with Chara. As they neared the door, Alphys came running up, telling them to hold up.

"H-here H-H-Harry. I n-noticed you li-like reading so I f-figured you might l-like this." An Anime book was in her hands (claws?) as she pushed it towards the boy. He brightened up, smiling at her.

"Thanks! It's the best birthday present I've ever had!" Birthday? How does he even tell time down there? Or perhaps he's been counting down to it? But I thought his birthday was in July...

"B-Birthday?"

"N-never mind." He snatched the book up anyways, flipping through some of the pages and grinning. "Thank you, Alphys!"
The doctor flinched as the boy wrapped his arms around her in a hug. He waved to her as he backed up towards the door. Her astonished look slowly melted into a smile as she waved after them.

"Hey, buddy, I'm gonna take us through a shortcut, okay?"

"Sure! Is the shortcut fun?"

"Yeah, I guess you'll like it." Sans took the boy's hand and grinned down at him before winking and snapping his finger. How does a skeleton wink? Does it really matter?

With a blink of an eye, the sky's red, fiery sky was replaced with gold. Pillars and windows that showed a beautiful "sky". Birds were singing and flowers were blooming outside. On days like these, kids like Harry...

"Should be burning in hell."

~Shut up.~

"Make me."

He just ignored them, then smiled up at Sans' concerned face. He wondered for a moment if he'd said it aloud, but quickly dismissed the thought.

"Shall we?" He asked, mocking a bow towards the end of the hall. Harry giggled and ran on, followed by Sans, who was chuckling and walking along. This is gonna be fun, isn't it?

"Yes. Yes it will be."

Ask questions about anything you don't understand. If the question isn't answered before the end of part one then I will answer them right after chapter 23.
