I was relaxing in Pinkie's spare bedroom. She had invited me to a final sleepover before the second year of teaching at Hogwarts began. I sighed as I remembered everything that I would need to do this year. I looked at the date. It was still July. The 31st to be exact. Harry's birthday. Which means that he will be doing his chores and having to deal with Dobby today. Not if I have anything to say about it. I got up and put on my armour and clothes.
"Pinkie!" I called out into the hallway, grabbing my suitcase of stuff. She opens up the door to reveal she was already dressed for the day. I nod and smile. "It's time."
"Okie Dokie!" Pinkie nods and smiles, bouncing up and down. She had apparently missed Hogwarts, true not as much as she had missed her friends, but still, she missed it. Truth be told. I missed it as well. I would never get used to sleeping in my base in the equipment room ever again after having basically an entire flat in the middle of a castle devoted to me and Pinkie. I would also never get used to all of the muscles I had gained from training around Hogwarts.
Speaking of which, I forgot to mention. Pinkie had noticed this and It seemed that I had stopped growing older. I don't know why, but apparently, I had stopped ageing. How I had not noticed this? I don't know, But Pinkie said she liked me still, even though I had stopped ageing and would probably outlive her. I vowed for this never to happen.... Even If I had to take things into my own hands and... Anyway, apparently, I was ageless......
....
...
....
Yes, that's a thing apparently when you become Master of the Void. I don't know why the Outsider never mentioned this, he apparently assumed that I just knew. But I didn't. I sigh as Pinkie grabbed my arm and we disappeared from Pinkie's house and reappeared in the middle of a normal street that two years ago I never thought I would ever see. I then heard muffled shouting inside of the house.
"WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT SAYING THE M WORD IN OUR HOUSE!" I chuckled and walked up to the front door. I raised my hand and knocked on the door. There was a sudden hush in the house and I could see in my mind the Dursley's suddenly paling as they remembered what happened last year on Harry's Birthday. There were whisperings and footsteps heading to the door. Slowly, the door opened to reveal the messy black hair and striking green eyes of Harry Potter. He had grown since I had last seen him, he actually had definition to him instead of being weak and scrawny. I could also feel the void magic around him being attracted into him. Obviously, the workout program I had put on him was working.
"Hey, Voidic!" Harry smiled brightly. "Why are you here?"
"Well, I know the future, and there's something important going on here. Besides, It's your birthday." I say as I take out a bone charm for him. It was the Void Channel bone charm. "Make sure to keep this hidden on your person, as long as you wear it, your powers will be strengthened." Harry smiled.
"Thanks! Why don't you come on inside." He moved aside for me and I saw Dudley looking terrified from the inside of the door. Vernon was in the doorway trying to look intimidating, While Petunia was next but slightly behind him.
"YOU!" Vernon bellowed as Harry closed the door. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING HERE WITH YOUR FREAKISHNESS!" I looked at him unimpressed.
"Is that any way to treat a guest?" I said, my voice little more than a whisper among wind, but carried the dangerous undertones of a cornered gun wielding tiger. The Dursleys gulped as hurriedly moved back into the kitchen to pretend I wasn't here. I laugh.
"Anyway. Pinkie and I here to pick you up Harry."
"Really?" Harry perked up. "I didn't think you would have come to get me! I haven't gotten any letters except those food packages you've been sending me. I'm still not sure how you managed to get those food packages into my room though."
"Pinkie Pie." I stated simply.
"That's not a good answer." Harry frowned.
"You'll learn." I chuckle. "Go grab your stuff from your room. I'll get your stuff from under the stairs."
"SIR CANNOT BRING HARRY POTTER TO HOGWARTS!" I heard a dobby yelling from behind me. I turned around and frowned at him underneath my mask. I didn't hold anything against him, but he could be a pain in the ass.
"Dobby shouldn't be away from master Malfoy's house." I stated simply and Dobby widened his eyes and paled rapidly.
"Sir knows Dobby's masters?" Dobby whispered. Harry was frowning in confusion.
"Voidic. Who is this and why is he saying that he's the servant of Draco and his dad?"
"Harry, this is Dobby. Dobby, this is Harry Potter. Dobby is trying to keep you away from Hogwarts so he can save your life from an evil plan that is going to be made by Lucius Malfoy. Who is Draco's father. He would have used magic to try and get you expelled from Hogwarts, when that didn't work, he would have closed the barrier to Platform 9 3/4. And finally, He would have tried to break your arm with a bludger to get you sent home." Harry widened his eyes and glared at dobby, who cowered away from the fury in his eyes.
"Listen to me, Dobby, I am leaving this house, you can't stop me from going to hogwarts. Do you understand? And even if you did manage to stop me with those first two, the teachers would have known something was up. And Madam Pomfrey can mend bones in a second, so your third attempt would have only been a hindrance." Dobby lowered his eyes to the ground and tears fell on the carpet.
"I'm sorry Harry Potter. I just wanted to protect you." He said weakly. Harry's eyes softened and he kneeled next to Dobby.
"Hey, it's not your job to do that. And even if I stayed here, I would have been in even more danger as I can't use magic and trouble usually finds me." Dobby sighs and nods his head before popping away. Harry sighs and straightened up before hurrying upstairs to get all of his stuff, I walked to the cupboard under the stairs but was stopped halfway there by Vernon, who had an angry purple face. He had a letter stuffed in his hand that I recognized as a letter from a Ministry, I frowned, Dobby hadn't used any magic around us. I had made sure of that. Unless... I blink under my mask in horror.
Unless he wizard apparated instead of elf apparation.
"Would you care to explain this?" Vernon growled. I sigh underneath my breath.
"Well, apparently Harry isn't allowed to use wizard magic while at home." I said as if I was surprised. Vernon narrowed his eyes.
"But I saw him using magic. That mark on his hand was glowing and everything. He disappeared from one end of the garden to the other end in the time it took for me to blink."
"Ah! You must have seen Harry practising either Stop Time or Blink. This is my own brand of magic." I raised my hand to show Vernon the mark on my hand. "I'm actually not harry's classmate, I'm his teacher for Alternative Magics, and I'm the Master of the Void. The Ministry can't track Void Magic, so I tasked all my students with practice magic during the holidays." I smile under my mask. "So. If you try and hurt Harry, he's able to hurt you back." I smile and I heard a few thumps coming down the stairs.
"I'm ready Voidic!" Harry said as he turned the corner and saw me and Vernon talking. "What's up?"
"Good job on practising your magic during the holidays Harry." I said and pushed Vernon aside so I could get at the cupboard. Vernon growled, but left-back for the kitchen. I grabbed Harry's stuff and held onto it tightly. "Pinkie! We're ready!" Pinkie walked towards us and pulled us towards her. I blinked and suddenly we were on a patch of grass right outside of a towering building that looked suspended by magic.
The Weasley's.
