Xandrel's Potterverse AUs

Metafictional Cube​

A 13 year old boy named Alex is bullied at school and is unable to find friends. To cope with his bad situation, Alex turns to many works of fiction, such as cartoons, movies, books and video games. He explores many detailed, fictional worlds and in his dreams goes on adventures with his favorite heroes.

After an especially bad day at school, Alex sees a meteorite fall down in a park near his home. He runs towards the crater and sees a bright, green cube. Curious, he touches the object, finding it very cold to the touch.

Immediately as he does so, one of the walls of the cube goes dark. At the same moment, one of Alex's favorite heroes appears nearby: Harry Potter. Harry was taken from right after Dumbledore died in the books.

Unfortunately, because in the books Harry is a Horcrux, he is inherently tied to the Dark Lord Voldemort, who has been therefore brought to the real world as well.

Needless to say, Voldemort is not in the least amused by such an event. He attempts to murder Alex and Harry, but finds out that for some reason he is unable to intentionally attack Alex. Furious and confused, Voldemort Apparates away, not having enough information to act properly.

Harry and Alex talk, Alex revealing that Harry is a character from a book and that he has been summoned accidentally.

Quite naturally, Harry is freaked out by all this and at first refuses to believe it. Eventually though, he is forced to accept the reality (it takes some time, but it does happen). Harry reads the remaining books, learning of his would-be future. Meanwhile Alex discovers that not only the cube is for some reason following him around but has become invisible to everyone except him and Harry (and presumably Voldemort).

Riddle figures out that there is no magic in this world and he eventually discovers the Potter books and movies. He also forms a theory as to why he is unable to attack Alex: it is because Alex has summoned him and summons generally obey their summoner. This is a worrying thought to Voldemort, so he decides to avoid the young boy.

Alex's parents discover Harry's presence and while at first they do not believe that he is who he claims he is, his magic convinces them.

And then the second wall of the cube goes dark and another character appears: Jedi Master Yoda. Unfortunately, the Force connects living beings across the universe and a most powerful Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Sidious has been brought along for the ride.

That's as far as I got with this. You could literally have any fictional character you can think of appear in the real world. Villains, heroes, anyone. Pokemon, Naruto, Avengers, Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, ANYONE.

The idea is that the only way for them to go home is to either destroy the cube or if Alex dies. However, they don't know this.

The title refers to the fact that even though Alex sees his summons as fictional characters, he is still fictional to us.
 
The Purge​

This was going to be Draco's first night at his father's side during this holiday.

Some of his friends have already participated last year, though there were also those who like Draco would have their first time tonight.

He stood on the balcony of the Malfoy Manor, already prepared with a white mask on his face and the expensive, dark robes keeping him warm.

As if on cue, there was an explosion in the sky which quickly transformed into a sickly green skull, eating a snake.

And then Draco heard a voice in his head, seemingly coming from everywhere and nowhere at once.

This is not a test.

This is the Severe Situation Sound announcing the commencement of the Annual Purge, sanctioned by the Ministry of Magic.

Unforgivable spells and Dark Magic have been authorized for use during the Purge. The Fidelius Charm remains restricted.

Commencing at the signal, any and all crime against muggles and squibs, including murder, will be legal for 12 continuous hours.

A Global Memory Charm and a Global Fidelius will be re-cast on the muggle population tomorrow morning at 7 am, when the Purge concludes.

Blessed be the Dark Lord and Britain, a nation reborn.

Magic is Might.

As the Dark Mark in the sky opened its mouth to reveal thousands of snakes emerging from it, Draco heard an unearthly scream as if the very hounds of hell were invading the heavens.

This was it, this was going to be his night.

He apparated and it began.

The problem with this, is while at first I went "wow, that's cool", is that the purge is a stupid idea invented by somebody who knew nothing about humans, and why we act the way we do. The purge would only come into existence if the goverment initiating it was mind bogglingly stupid, and the only canonical forms of magic that manipulate human psychology are, as far as I know, either illegal, or restricted to those with proper training (Imperius, love potions, memory wipes), so the only justification I can think of for the purge is it being an AU with an even more stupid Voldemort than canon.

The writing was good though. A better way of setting up some sort of "Voldemort sets up a Purge-esque event after conquering Britain" would be, IMO making the purge some kind of ritual, tying in to the global Fidelius and global memory charm effect, both of which sound really hard to pull off. Play up how only muggleborns remember the event, and how muggleborns that are (rounded up, recruited, whatever) all have horrible memories of the night.

Incorrect. Love potions at least are ubiquitous--Molly Weasley was apparently known to be good at them in school, Weasely's Wizarding Weazes sold several different formulations publicly, Hogwarts teaches literally everyone how to make them. As for memory charms, canon is not explicit about whether or not the spell is restricted to the Obliviator Corps, but the fact the Lockhart knew the spell despite, as far as we know, never having been a member plus Hermione's use of it on her 'rents in book 7 implies that the spell is in relatively common use. In Prisoner of Azkaban, Snape claims that Sirius "confunded" Harry & Co., so that is yet another form of mindrape in the wizarding world.

Plus, this is a society that has no qualms about forcing eleven year old children to let a thousand year old hat read their minds if they want an education. Honestly, in some ways HP canon is even more fucked up than GoT. At least in Westeros you can be reasonable certain no one is using magic to sock puppet you. In HP's wizarding world, you kinda have to assume that anyone, no matter how much you love or trust them, could be mind controlling you.

I haven't read the books in a few years, but that does seem to be true, at least based on a quick Google search. For my part, 1st: if I was to write Harry Potter fanfiction, the legality of love potions would be one of a number of details that I would be changing, and 2nd: I can`t see any way one would use love potions to start a Purge-esque scenario, so that isn't particularly relevant.

On my part, given canons lack of information on the subject, assume that, since 3 of the 5 people who have used the spell in book canon are Ministry officials (leaving aside the fact that Oblivators are a position in the ministry), and of the two who did use it that were not Ministry officials, both were adults, that it is at least regulated by the Ministry, if only along the lines of a firearms licence to sue a real world equivalent. Beyond that, while the memory charm (or some variation thereof) could be used, as shown in Xandrels snippet, to hide a magical "Purge" from mundanes, I don't see how this would lead to a Purge being started.

The Confundus charm does have some sort of negative effect on the mind, although given that the spell can also effect objects, and that two of the main characters used it with little fanfare, I don't think it's particularly on "mindrape" levels, but once again, hwo does the Confundus charm lead to "witches and wizards" starting a purge?

I don't have any problems with the Sorting Hat and it's use, at least outside of the problems with the House system in general.



Nothing written in your post contradicts the fact that the Purge was/is a stupid idea, and that, without drastic changes to canon that would need to be shown, it would be a stupid idea in the Harry Potter setting.

Dani: Never said it wasn't stupid. Just that it wasn't all that implausible given the grimderp of the canonical setting. The point I was trying to make was that canon wizards don't really have many qualms about mind rape. Add in the fact that even most of the so-called "light" wizards don't really see non-magical humans as people (Train ride in book one: Ron mentions that he has a cousin who is an accountant but that "We don't talk about him", Hermione's murder of her parents, etc.) and a victory by Voldemort and this becomes quite probable.

Your fanon is showing a wee bit there. The one point I can agree with is that wizards in general (canon never used the term "light" in any context other than spells that literally create light) don't view non magicals as being as important as wizards, but a good part of that is most likely because almost everyone they know, is themselves magical. The Harry Potter series is by no means grimderp, unless you wish to see it that way. Yes, Harry Potter has a number of things in it which would be questionable in real life, but almost every book series has those, with such questionable things and plot holes being more prevelant in works intended for a younger audience, as it takes far more to break the SOD of a younger reader than it does an older one.

o_OHow is ubiquitous access to mind control not grimderp?
 
Magical Music
​
Quote from Philosopher's Stone:
Everybody finished the song at different times. At last, only the Weasley twins were left singing along to a very slow funeral march. Dumbledore conducted their last few lines with his wand and when they had finished, he was one of those who clapped loudest.

"Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes. "A magic beyond all we do here! And now, bedtime. Off you trot!"

What if that was indeed the case?

Imagine an AU in which spells are not pretty light shows, but instead rely strongly on sound.

Incantations would have to be properly intoned, even more than in canon, while wand movements would be replaced by melodies created by the wand. Basically, to cast a spell you have to play and sing it.

Moving a wand would create musical notes and in order to cast a spell you'd have to have a very good sense of rhythm. A good singing voice would help too.

Imagine a scene where a Death Eater disguises his wand as a violin and plays it on a street full of muggles, only for the song turn out to be the Cruciatus.

Or how about the Sorting Hat's annual song is actually useful, being a complicated spell to determine which house you belong to?

There are so many possibilities! Spells like the cheering charm could be upbeat and funny melodies while things like the Killing Curse could be gloomy and sad. Something like the Patronus could be an uplifting and inspiring musical creation.

Even Potions could require certain musical notes to be played during their creation.

Actually, given how much the AK is played up as making people "just gone" in the blink of an eye without the slightest hint of physical trauma, it might be more fitting for it to be cast by a jaunty tune that just abruptly ends halfway through one of the upward notes. Bonus points if it's an area effect that kills anyone who hears it besides the caster. Hell, that also allows for another nuance that never got explored in canon: how did the Killing Curse get invented?

A German housewife, Sabine Dönitz, was just minding her own business, playing purely for her own enjoyment--not even trying to cast a spell--when her husband, Hans, snuck up and hugged her from behind. Startled, she stops playing. And then her husband stops as well. He collapses to the floor, unmoving. She screams and starts shaking him. After a few minutes, she wonders why their son hasn't come to investigate. She runs, half staggering, to her child's room. He's lying on the bed, peacefully.

For a moment, Ms. Dönitz allows herself to hope that little Fitz is merely slumbering--he's always been a deep sleeper, once remaining unconscious through an earthquake. But her hand reaches out slowly of it's own accord towards his neck. No pulse. She begins laughing hysterically. She tries to recreate the exact melody she played, down to last note in the hope of making sure no-one else ever accidentally stumbles across the spell. Little did she know that not just her family was killed, but all her neighbors for two houses to either side.

Needless to say, when the aurors showed up, they weren't particularly interested in hearing about why exactly she had detailed notes documenting the creation of the most efficient death curse on Earth.

Time Travel for the Historically Inaccurate
​
Almost a thousand years have passed since Harry Potter finally defeated Lord Voldemort.

The Muggles have long since abandoned Earth for the stars and the magical society was very happy because of it. They even went as far as casting the most powerful muggle-repelling charm in history and covered the entire planet in it, to make sure the muggles never returned.

Decades passed, then centuries and the muggles indeed never returned.

The wizarding societies now had the entire world to themselves and started changing it accordingly to their whims.

The population slowly rose, cities and towns were built. More schools of magic were opened. Goblins carved out an entire country for themselves, banning humans from entering.

The Earth has truly now become a magical world.

Harry Potter's tale became a legend, no longer fully believed to have actually happened. It has changed over time with some details swapped for others. It is now told to children as a bedtime story.

But one person fully believes it to be true. Andros Creevey, from the Most Ancient and Noble Creevey Family, believes the Tale of The Chosen One to be true.

Creevey claims to be descended from one Dennis Creevey, who supposedly fought in the now-legendary Battle of Hogwarts in Harry Potter's army.

To prove his claims, Andros decides to travel back in time to Harry Potter's age, make several pictures with his magical camera (family heirloom) and return to the present.

There's a problem, though. Ever since the 25th century, time travel has been a capital offense in all wizarding nations on Earth.

But Andros was sorted to Slytherin (as was his entire family for generations) and is not to be stopped by such trivialities as the law.

He conspires with several of his friends and together they devise a ritual that will send Creevey back to the ancient 20th century. Exact dates of Harry Potter's achievements are unknown, but they are believed to have happened around 1980-1990s.

Even if Andros gets the date wrong by one or two years, it is of no consequence as wizards tend to live long and he'll just have more time to observe the Legend that is the Chosen One before using his magical Anchor to return to the present.

The ritual is done and Lord Andros Creevey is transported through time, ready to witness the Battle of Hogwarts.

He lands in late May of the year 1992, with incomplete, ridiculously misinterpreted knowledge about Harry's life. And he finds that his magical time anchor is broken, he's stuck in the past.

"Well," he thinks to himself, "I guess I'll make the most of it". And he applies for the position of the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts. That won't change a thing, after all. Whoever heard of Defense Professors influencing the Legend of Harry Potter? That's just preposterous!

Gilderoy Lockhart just shrugs and moves on to another project to boost his fame while Andros takes his position.

Andros is most surprised when Harry Potter is still just a small boy, who somehow managed to crash an ancient muggle 'car' into a tree.

Meanwhile Harry (and everyone else) thinks that their new teacher is very, very odd.
 
If you ever played SW: KOTOR, you will recognize this immediately.

Wizard Wars - Knights of Walpurgis​

"Greetings, prospective students. It appears we have a late entry. Who do you bring before me, Sirius? A young boy, bristling with magic?"

Black grinned at that.

"A boy that has had some training, it seems, my Lord. Very promising, I think."

The Dark Lord stood up from his throne and slowly walked closer to them. Meanwhile, sweat started appearing on Harry's forehead. What if it went wrong? What if Voldemort saw through their charade?

Red eyes bored intensely into Harry while the Dark Lord spoke.

"That I'll judge for myself, thank you. Tell me, boy... what do you know of the dark arts? What preconceptions has your mind been polluted with?"

Harry took on a more calm expression. "I've killed too many dark wizards to have preconceptions about them."

This seemed to amuse Voldemort, who glanced at Sirius for a moment before focusing back on the boy before him.

"Most impressive, if it is true. Those who were too weak to stand against you deserved their fate, so expect no retribution from us. There is much you can learn from the Death Eaters, and we from you."

Harry almost wanted to reply, but Voldemort continued speaking.

"The Order of the Phoenix equates the light with goodness and strength and the dark with weakness and evil. That is their tradition and it is truly no surprise that they cling to it for comfort."

He suddenly turned around and went back to sit on his throne, and as he sat he continued his speech.

"We, however, do not tread magic as a burden. We treat it as a gift, a thing to be celebrated. We use it to acquire power over others, and why should we not? Because the Order says we should not?"

Despite himself, Harry was shocked to realize that what the Dark Lord was saying started to make sense. That was not a good sign.

"We are as magic is meant to be. The Order would hide that from you, they would tell you the dark arts are too quick, too easy, all so that they need never challenge the passions that lie within them."

"Joining with us means realizing your true potential. It means not stifling yourself solely for the sake of hide-bound shamans and their antiquated notion of equality. Be what you were meant to be."

Voldemort then turned to Weasley.

"What say you, Ronald? Are you ready to learn the secrets of the dark arts? Dare you?"

The ginger was only eager to reply. "I dare, my Lord! I am ready!"

Harry had to suppress the desire to roll his eyes, Weasley was such a follower.

The Dark Lord either didn't see it that way, or he hid his opinion as he continued.

"Brash and fiery, as expected of your bloodline. Turn that passion to your advantage, child. What of you, Zacharias? Are you ready?"

The blond boy in question stood up proudly.

"I am, my Lord. More than ready," replied Smith whilst kneeling back again.

"I sense much anger within you, young one. That is good. That will provide you power."

Voldemort then looked at Harry.

"And you, young boy? Does this interest you? Are you ready to learn more of what I speak?"

It was part of the mission, Harry was expected to infiltrate the castle. He had no real choice to begin with.

"I am ready to learn more."

The Dark Lord seemed satisfied at that. "And so it shall be."
 
I tried to think up a fairly insane scenario that technically doesn't make sense, but is also kinda interesting.

Apologies in advance.


Dark and Furious​

It is the year 1932 and the location is Wool's Orphanage in London.

Tom Marvolo Riddle is a terrible child. Strange, disturbing things seem to constantly happen around him. Other children fear and avoid him.

He sometimes speaks to snakes even, whispering cruel, dangerous things.

Today is December 31st, the last day of the year and Tom's sixth birthday.

He of course receives no presents, because like the other children he is an orphan with no family. He also has no friends, because others hate and fear him too much to be friendly.

Tom sits therefore alone in his room, staring out the window at the falling snow. And he dreams.

If only he had parents, they would get him something for birthday! Perhaps he would force another child to give him something...

And as Tom gets lost in his thoughts, he is startled by a flash of light which temporarily blinds him.

After rubbing his eyes long enough, he is finally able to see and realizes that something very unusual has appeared in his room.

It was without a doubt some kind of machine. It had a screen of sorts, several big loudspeakers, various cables and buttons. It looked as if taken straight from a science fiction book.

There was also a small, white book lying on top of the machine.

Tom took it and read the title: "Instruction Manual for your very own Home Theater setup".

As he read through the manual, he quickly understood where this machine arrived from. Why, the production date itself said the year 2015!

This thing was from the future! Now, if it was even possible, it had Tom's full, undivided attention.

After reading the entire manual twice, the boy connected all the cables to the required sockets and then finally plugged the completed setup to the wall socket.

The screen lit up and Tom's heart skipped a little.

It worked! This wasn't just some strange prank, it was really real and happening.

The manual said something about blu-ray discs. Tom searched in the boxes and found seven of them.

He stopped midway while reaching for them. Seven, somehow that number seemed very important. Deciding to think on it later, he took the disc.

And as he read their titles, he couldn't wait to see these "movies" play.

It seemed they told a long, epic tale which had to be split into several chapters.

Tom put the first disc into the player and sat comfortably, waiting to see just what exactly The Fast and The Furious had to show him.

Wool's Orphanage, 1938.


"Magic?" he repeated in a whisper.

"That's right," said Dumbledore.

"It's… it's magic, what I can do?"

"What is it that you can do?"

"All sorts," breathed Tom. A flush of excitement was rising up his neck into his hollow cheeks; he looked fevered. "I can make things go faster than they normally would. I can shoot projectiles with absolute accuracy. I'm unusually lucky in fights."

---

Hogwarts, 1938.


The Sorting Hat was placed on his head and he immediately detected a foreign presence in his mind.

"Ah, what a brilliant young mind. Interesting, very interesting. And such great ambition."

Tom smirked. Well, of course it was great. His plans usually were.

Especially when he learned about Quidditch. He imagined himself speeding through the world, like Dom and his crew. All in good time.

---

Hogwarts, 1939.


"That was fantastic, Riddle! I've never seen anyone fly like this! There's no way you're a muggleborn. No way. Your parents must have been magical. Anyway, you're on the team."

Tom only nodded, he expected this.

"Ask any Slytherin, any real Slytherin. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winning's winning."

The captain couldn't agree more.

---

Hogwarts, 1942.


Tom sat as their leader now, there was no doubt about it.

He looked at them, counting their names and talents. Malfoy, money. Black, power. Avery, skill.

"The only thing that matters right now is people in this room," he said slowly.

When he saw acceptance among them, he continued.

"So what we're talking about is 10 million Galleons."

I should stop here, you get the point. I could write these for hours.

Voldemort inspired by the Fast and Furious series came out of nowhere to me today and I couldn't stop laughing.
 
The Disk has Tilted


In the multiverse, each reality is contained in an eternally spinning disk.

These disk are stacked on top of each other, forming a tower stretching infinitely in two directions.

As long as the disk spins, the universe inside it continues to exist. Stars burn, water flows, life flourishes.

In one of these disks, is the canon Harry Potter universe.

In the disk below it, is the world in which Tom Marvolo Riddle was never born.

However the disk above the canon one contains a universe in which the Prophecy was never made and Voldemort won the first war.

Normally, things would have gone as they were meant to be in each disk.

However, through forces unknown, the Disks sometimes tilt. So it happened with the disk containing the canon world.

As it tilted, it hit both the disk below it and the one above it. And in an instant, all was chaos.

Two identical souls cannot occupy the same disk.

But in the case of Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort, there of course is an exception.

Voldemort's soul has been split during the creation of Horcruxes. This allows him to enter worlds in which he already exists.

Harry Potter is Voldemort's Horcrux, which by proxy allows him to cross into other worlds as well.

In the Upper Disk, Tom Marvolo Riddle never existed and an era of peace lasted since Grindelwald's defeat at the hand of Albus Dumbledore in 1945. In this world, Harry Potter lives among friends and loving family members.

In the Middle Disk, the Second War against Lord Voldemort officially began with the Ministry finally having acknowledging his return. In this world, Harry Potter is the Chosen One trying to deal with the Prophecy and the death of his godfather.

In the Lower Disk, Voldemort rules Britain with an iron fist ever since his victory in 1981. In this world, Harry Potter is dead having been killed with his family at the age of five.

And then the middle disk tilted, connecting all three worlds.

Suddenly, Middle Voldemort and Middle Harry find themselves shifting between the three worlds at random. Eventually, they learn to control it.

Then Lower Voldemort decides to explore as well.

With the war being spread across three different realities, the game has changed.
 
So I wrote this way back in 2012. And I have no idea where I was going with this. I don't remember a thing about it.

Hopefully someone will be able to make use of this.



The Lost Plot Bunny

June 22nd 1991 - Ron Weasley's pet Rat, Scrabbers, disappears, never to be seen again.

June 23rd 1991 - For Dudley Dursley's eleventh birthday, his parents and Piers Polkiss go to the zoo. Harry Potter stays at home.

June 25th 1991 - Dolores Umbridge is found dead in her house. An official Auror investigation is done and they find the Dark Mark carved on her cheek.

July 22nd 1991 - Philosopher's Stone is stolen from Gringotts. Many people saw that it was Peter Pettigrew that did it. He is caught several hours later at Knockturn Alley, but the stone is missing. Albus Dumbledore makes sure that Peter is given Veritaserum and questioned. This results in Sirius Black being exonerated and given a formal apology from the ministry, as well as monetary compensation.

Lemme guess. Some self-righteous self-insert with sociopathic tendencies decided to enact 'justice' in his own twisted way? And cause he has read so much fucking fanfiction, he decides it to be a grand idea to research alternative realities, time-travel and all of that. He's obviously successful.
 
Could work as a "Harry Sends His Memories Back In Time" fic, if he accidentally sends them to Pettigrew instead of his younger self. Will have to think of an explanation for the Redheaded Narcissa Lestrange, though.
 
Magic is Might, but so is the Knight.​

Andrela Looked at the beast before her.

You see a Basilisk.

A basilisk? She hadn't fought any before, but she was up for the challenge. She vaguely recalled some rumors that such a creature could be found in the old mines below Kazordoon and could change into stone anyone looking it in the eyes.

She grinned. As if that would be a problem. She faced dragon lords and demons before, an over-sized snake was nothing special.

More interesting were the people in the room.

Two boys and a girl, the latter which was currently unconscious and on the floor.

Looking once more, Andrela identified the two boys as Harry Potter and Tom Marvolo Riddle. What was intriguing was the fact that Harry had the vocation of a Sorcerer, while Tom was identified as an 'unknown'.

That was disappointing, she very rarely got an unknown result.

Said unknown seemed displeased by her appearance as he asked "What magic is this? Who is this, Potter?!"

The other boy meanwhile was just as surprised.

"Please! Help me, he's going to kill her!" Harry pleaded pointing at the girl.

Well, that just wouldn't do. Andrela was a knight and knights were to protect the innocent and weak.

She raised her Magic Sword.

Tom laughed. "A sword against the might of Lord Voldemort? Pathetic."

He then started hissing in very strange, unsettling tones.

The basilisk moved.

"Utani Tempo Hur!" Andrela shouted and felt her body speed double immediately. Within seconds, she was at the beast's side, slashing with her weapon.

But the big snake proved to be made of sterner stuff and would not fall easily. It quickly moved its head and one of its fangs hit the knight in her left arm.

You lose 583 hitpoints due to an attack by a basilisk.

You are poisoned.

"Exana Pox!" was the next spell and Andrela felt the poison in her body evaporate immediately.

Not waiting for the basilisk to hit her once more, she repeated the the Charge spell and moved away from the beast. Quickly pulling out a small bottle from her backpack, she uncorked it and drank the entire purple liquid from it.

Having her mana restored, she once more ran to the snake and this time wasted no precious seconds.

"Exori Gran!" was the final spell, and hundreds of microscopic needles appeared in a meter radius around her. Unfortunately for the basilisk, it was close enough to her to be affected.

It fell dead to the floor with many small wounds in its body bleeding heavily.

You gain 1200 experience points.

"Well, that's not much." Andrela said.
 
Random overpowererd OC from a 'game system' comes to Harry Potter World.

Sigh.

Not very interesting when compared to your other ideas.

Not from a 'game system', but from an actual game. An mmorpg called Tibia.

Still, the point is made.

Also, not overpowered. Since Knights are ridiculously weaker than your average wizard.
 
"The boy has awakened, Albus. It is time to change this."

Dumbledore closed his eyes, holding back tears. He begged: "No, please, don't do this to him. He is so young."

"Enough, Albus, don't embarrass yourself further."

Harry opened his eyes.

"Good afternoon, Harry," said Dumbledore with a weak smile.

But Harry almost jumped out of his bed. "Sir! The Stone! It was Quirrell! He's got the Stone! Sir, quick-"

"Professor Quirrell is dead, Harry," said the Headmaster, his tone of voice strangely sad.

That stopped Harry and calmed him down.

"Dead, sir? But, I-"

"Yes Harry, you have killed Professor Quirrell and by doing so, you saved us all."

Harry looked down on his hands.

"But, how? What happened, sir?"

There was conflict on Dumbledore's face, as if he was warring with himself to decide what to say next. Eventually though, he said:

"When Voldemort came to kill you, your mother sacrificed her life to spare yours. In doing so, she granted you protection. That is why when Voldemort cast his Killing Curse at you, it turned on its caster. Your mother's love still lives on in you. When Professor Quirrell made contact with you, this love literally burned him like fire, he was doomed the moment he allowed his master to enter his body."

"So he is really dead now," said Harry.

"Yes. But you shouldn't blame yourself. Had he lived, he would have taken the Stone from you and restored Lord Voldemort to full power. It would lead to war and many lives would be lost," explained Dumbledore, though he seemed unwilling to do so.

"There is just one more thing, sir. One thing I can't understand," Harry spoke.

"Ask away, my boy and I shall do my best to explain."

"Voldemort said that he only killed my mother because she tried to stop him from killing me. But why would he want to kill me in the first place?" asked Harry and immediately, something about Dumbledore changed.

The old man stood up and turned away from Harry.

"Tell him, Dumbledore! Tell him now!"

Slowly turning around, with tears in his eyes, Dumbledore spoke: "Because of a Prophecy, Harry. A prophecy which claims that you and Voldemort are destined to kill one another."

"Finally, Albus. Now we can begin his training. For the Greater Good."
 
I read through this today, and I must say that I really enjoyed many of the concepts within. Thank you for sharing them. (I especially liked the Tom Riddle as influenced by Fast and Furious.)
