Harry Sto Helitt

[Rift120]

Incidentally yes Death is speaking correct, chekc out the books Death doesn't need no quotes

Okay opening scene voldermort attack on the potter...

Cue everything normal, up until Lilly dies.

She rises back up, what happened did VOldermort's curse fail? She didn't feel dead.

THATS A COMMON REACTION ACTUALLY....

Lilly's eyes widened at the tall skeleton holding a scythe... "Are you here to take me...."

NO. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT NOT EVEN I KNOW...

Lilly frowned as she idly noted Voldermort peering over the crib of her baby. Yet oddly her feelings on that felt oddly muted, a wonder the effects of no longer haveing hormones had. "Your not doing what the books say your supposed to do."

I KNOW, I'M MORE OF ASTAND IN. THE DEATH OF THIS WORLD HAD TO DEAL WITH THE END OF THE WORLD.

"OH is it going to end?" She watched voldermort raising his wand as she began to fade to her afterlife.

NO, IT SEEMS HEAVEN AND HELL HAVE MISPLACED THE ANTICHRIST.... OH BUGGER, NOW I'VE MISSED HIM AND HE'S A SHADE...

Lilly could see the house burning as her baby cried, turning tearful eyes towards the the two of them as he crawled forward fromt he wreckage of his crib. She could do nothing but sadly wave goodbye as she succumbed to the pull of the afterlife.

Death stood there for minute glaring, which he did quite well for a eyeless skull, in a opposite direction at the departing Shade. He was....annoyed... at such an incomplete job. One skeletal hand resting on black horse. So distracted was he that he didn't even notice the young figure crawling up a conviently placed beam in the wrecked room and into a saddlebag. Nor the light giggling that followed a startled SQUEAK!

I JUST KNOW METRATRON WILL BLAME THIS ON ME... STILL THE TASK IS DONE. COME BINKY LET US HEAD HOME.

alright outline now

Death heads home, and once there discovers his stowaway.... much to his annoyance. Well he can't have a perputal infant in his house (Remember any mortal in Deaths home do not age), and besides he's much to busy to raise a child on his own.... at least not again.... a female teenager was enough..... so he does what any parent would do.... foist the problem off onto his grandchild...

Introducing Harry Sto Helitt!

Susan: You want me to WHAT????

ITS ONLY FOR TEN YEARS.....

Susan: WHERE'S MY POKER!!!

Heee Harry growing up in Ankhmorphk.... I wonder who is going to view as male rolemodels.... Members of the Wizarding university... Captin Carrot.... VImes....Cut-me-own-throat diggler (Oh theres a headache and a half for Susan...)... RINCEWIND??? (Harry just has to know why his great grandpa finds Rincewind his 'hobby'.... now if only he would hold still after Harry tries to explain why he's interested in him...)

Harry having occasionaly fun with great-grandpa Death... perhaps a few years at the Assasin's guild (the only place on Discworld for a true noble education..... after a few years in his mum's class of course...)

OF course as a Sto Helit, thanks to the effects of being 'adopted' by Death... Harry can use THE VOICE, make himself unnoticeble/step out of time... although no where near as proficent as his Mum Susan... (who is frustratingly adept at catching Young Harry when he tries to pull a prank/skip class...)

OF course we have to figure out a way to get Harry to hogwarts and his Hogwarts letter...

"ALbus... Coudl you perhaps explain to me why Madam Pinch is threatening me wihta Howler because of letting a Owl loose in her library.... in particular HArry Potter's owl?"

(Of course Pinch would soon realize the truth, but L-space is a highly guarded secret among Librarians...)

Which of course will eventually lead to a near perputal showdown between ALbus and Ridcully about which is better Hogwarts or Unseen UNiversity....practically a new yearly event as Dumbledore has to figure outa enw way to sneak harry away to Hogwarts instee dof Unseen. (Not that the staff cares about Harry's education, its just the idea that some other wizarding school is more suited to teach a young wizard than theres are!)

Future scenes I'd like to see

"PINCH! WHAT ON EARTH ARE YO DOING??? HAVING TEA WIHT A MONKEY???"

"OOOOKKKKK!!!" *maim, mutilate, crunch....*

"Oh dear Severus...you shouldn't have said the M word.... Poppy will be so disappointed..."

The librarain on the other hand was surprised to find the next time he visited the lovely lady Pinch, several dozen bushels of Bannana's provided by students who had several Snape free Potion classes over hte enxt few weeks...

-Harry taking Remus to meet Angua to help with that pesky 'uncontrolled transformation'...

-SOmehow Carrot getting invovled witha quiddtich argument between the Slytherin and Gryffindor teams... (Cut to Minerva and Snape staring slack jawed at the end resutls.. SNape: BUT HOW????!!!)

-A field trip to Ankhmorphk?

-Hermione going absolutly batty as Harry describes his home and universe...

-Draco/Lucius meeting THE VOICE....

-Luna asking about Crumple horned snorckaks

Before HErmione can respond

Harry: Hmmm... I think Stibbon's accidnelty summoned one while removing some sort of bug from HEX actually.......

OH a side note.... The reason Disc World Death was filling in for the normal death... well if the misplaced antichrist hasn't clued you in, its a refrence ot 'Good Omens'

 

[Prince Charon]

OK, very interesting.

 

[GenocideHeart]

Cohen better be in it. OR ELSE.

 

[Zenithos]

WIN :yay:

Conina, Granny Weatherwax, Eskarina, and DEFINITELY NANNY OGG must come in at some point.

I'm in a hurry, otherwise I'd think of snippets.

 

[David Alan Abramczyk]

How's Lord Vetinari going to take seeing the Hogwarts faculty getting into a barney with the UU staff?

Not to mention the possibility of the shuddering horrors from the Dungeon Dimensions breaking through.

How's Lord Vetinari going to take seeing the Hogwarts faculty getting into a barney with the UU staff?

Not to mention the possibility of the shuddering horrors from the Dungeon Dimensions breaking through.

Probbaly he'll ignore it untill/unless Fudge decides that the ministry of magic should intrude on ankhmorphk life.

Remember Unseen Universtiy is the one area in Ankhmorphk that Vetrini DOESN'T influence or control.... Rather he has a gentleman agreement with the head of UU.

So so long as the Wizards of UU police themselves and keep highly disruptive magic out of the majority Ankhmorphk (And considering the city one has to wonder what they consider 'highly disruptive'), than the workings of magic aren't his problem. Especially since Veterini is smart enough to know that he doesn't have the knowledge or skill to ocntain magic should it burst loose...

Vetrini vs Fudge on the other hand just might be amusing....

HP wizard vs Discworld wizard - on the whople I'd say Discworld wizards are more powerful, plus they don't need a wand. The trick is getting htem to fight, instead of lazy around the university discussing pointless things (Or in the Deans case going hunting)

 

[David Alan Abramczyk]

Ah yes, the Wizards' Staff (With the knob on the end)...

Er, it's Archchancellor Ridcully that does the hunting. The Dean just.... eats, I suppose.

Oh god can you imagine DUmbledore asking 'in honor of our transfer student from another world' for Harryt o come up with a traditional discworld wizard song for the opening feast?

 

[David Alan Abramczyk]

Only one song could do in this case:

The infamous "Hedgehog Song".

 

[avis de rapina]

Only one song could do in this case:

The infamous "Hedgehog Song".

Anything's better than that school song in the 1st book.

How about Harry doing the Lancre version of the Morris Dance during the Yule Ball?

---

Can anyone imagine a scene where the trunk the real Madeye Moody was kept in turns out to be 'The Luggage'?

Please do this fic! :yay:

 

[avis de rapina]

I noticed that you had set this up as a challenge. Well here's a little something to get you started.

--oO0Oo--

The Stand-off


ôWhat do we have here, Fred?ö Sam Vimes asked as he stepped past the barricade outside the Ankh-Morpork pork-bellies futures warehouse.

ôItÆs a strange one, Sam,ö replied Fred Colon. ôApparently some furin folk tried to kidnap young Harry Sto. Helitt over by the Misbegot Bridge.ö

ôHow did they end up all the way over here then?ö

ôBeats the hell out of me, Sam. All I know is I was mindinÆ my business over on Gleam Street when all of a sudden I was knocked ass-over-kettle by three blokes in black robes being chased by young Harry and that trunk he befriended.ö

ôThree men in black robes, eh? Could they be apprentices from the AssassinsÆ Guild out on a lark?ö

ôThey were no assassins, Sam. They must be magic users from out of town.ö

ôWhat makes you say that, Fred?ö

ôWell, what else can they be, Sam? They were waving little sticks that were letting-off green flashes. And they were yelling out some kind of æAbraca pocusÆ gibberish.ö

ôGreen flashes, Fred? That sounds more like a Guild of Alchemists prank.ö

ôThatÆs what we thought too, Sam. But just as me and some of the lads cornered them outside the warehouse, one of them was hit by a flash andàö Fred trailed off.

ôAnd what, Fred?ö Sam Vimes asked.

ôàö

ôI asked you a question, Sergeant,ö stated Commander Samuel Vimes.

ôHeà died,ö Sgt. Fred Colon answered.

ôHe WHAT?!ö roared Watch Commander Lord Samuel Vimes, æDucÆ of Ankh-Morpork. ôDo you mean to tell me that someone has killed one of MY men? And you didnÆt tell me about it sooner?!ö

ôThey didnÆt ækillÆ him, Commander, he was already dead before they arrived....ö

ôàö

ôWho did they hit, Sergeant?ö

ôLance-constable Shoe, Sir.ö He pointed out the zombie standing out in the middle of the street and waving at the warehouse. ôHe says heÆs never felt better since the day he died. In fact, he wants them to hit him again. He says some of his bits no longer needs stitching to keep in the altogether.ö

ôAh, is he our only æcasualtyÆ, àFred?ö Sam inquired.

ôThe only one of ours, Sam. But we think they may have a hostage or two with them.ö

ôReally, Sergeant? Do you have any idea of who those might be? And whereÆs young Sto. Helitt now?ö

ôHeÆs just over there, Sir. HeÆs been quite upset. He keeps insisting on going in after that trunk.ö

ôAnd the hostages?ö

ôWellàö He pointed to a man standing in the shadows, who moved towards them.

ôAh, Drumknott, isnÆt it? What brings you out here of all places?ö

ôGood evening, Commander. I was accompanying His Lordship to a meeting with Mr. Slant regarding an audit of the pork-bellies futures.ö

ôAt THIS time of night?ö

ôMr. Slant said that this was when some of those futures in question would come due.ö

ôHe may be right, but just whose futures are in question IS the question,ö Sam mused with an evil grin.

---

ôSir,ö Captain Carrot Ironfoundersson saluted as he approached Sam and Fred.

ôCaptain, what have you learned from your negotiations?ö

ôSir, they are three men of early middle-age. Their leader is a man named Lucius, and they call themselves æDeatheatersÆ.ö

ôDeatheaters? Could that explain their interest in Sto. Helitt? Were they after him or his great-grandfather?ö

ôI couldnÆt tell, sir. It was very confusing. They kept demanding that we do something about a piece of luggage that they claim is trying to eat them. They keep shouting things about wind gardens, levees and somebody named Hosiah; or about how some trunk keeps eating their æredactersÆ. They threaten to æabracadabraÆ Mr. Slant and the Patrician unless we give-in to their demands.ö

ôDo they now? Well, there will be no negotiating with terrorists in my city.ö Sam chuckled. He then called out, ôCONSTABLE DORF!ö

Dorf shambled up and saluted.

ôForward, Constable Dorf!ö

DorfÆs eyes gleamed bright orange as he headed for the warehouse.

---

ôJust what æbusinessÆ were you minding way over in Gleam Street at this time of night, Fred?ö Sam asked as the golem burst through the warehouse door.

ôErà PatrollinÆ, Sam.ö Fred replied, as green light flared though the doorway.

Sigh. ôYou really shouldnÆt be patrolling in æThe BucketÆ this often, Fred.ö Sam tsk-tsked as he ignored the screams. ôYour liver is not as young as it used to be.ö

 

[Rift120]

ôDeatheaters? Could that explain their interest in Sto. Hellit? Were they after him or his great-grandfather?ö

THis is really the only part i have a problem with, Susan has taken great pains to appear normal.

In fact only the Wizards of UU are aware that she is Death's Granddaughter, and only then because of her short term role as a Death's rpelacment (Soulmusic) and Wizards and Death on Discworld have a stanidng deal, so that Death comes personally to reap any wizard that dies.

VImes and the nightwatch should not be aware of who Harry's and Susans Grandfater is, although certianly certain watchmen who have witnessed Susan's explouits are aware that she isn't 100% normal, but then in Ankhmorphk who is?


I suppose its plausible Vetrini might be aware on some level who Susan and HArry are related to tho....

Now onto a side note AMusing htought Of the day

The ministry of Magic finding out the nightwatch's equal oppurtunity hiring policy... in particular Angua and perhaps the Trolls.... (perhaps as a after report of an Auror attempt ot abduct young Harry from the Helit family... "I'm not sure what it was sir, but it was solid stone and carried a Siege crossbow as a sidearm!!!!")

Also as to how they resolve the hostage crisis? RIncewind comes (Read dragged kicking and screaming by the libraian) to chew out his wayward Luggage.

Granted that was what Susan wanted. But being forced to raise a magically-acitve wizard from infancy as a single-parent would surely put paid to that.

Since the earlier books implied that wizarding ability manifested later (hence UU had more of a college rather than a middle/high school feel), some explanations for a young Harry's powers would have to be made.

It would be conceivble that Vimes and Carrot could find things out. Esp if this is notthe first incident involving Harry.

Re: the hostage situation - The hostages are 2 of Sam's most favorite people, nuf said

 

[Rift120]

Well since I seem to be on a zombie thread reviving mood....

I've been considering moving this thread to the HP idea thread...since its apparantly not getting much attention here....

Also a few amusing thoughts

-Hagrid having a standing bet with Snape as to what Death's horse is named.... (Hagrid picked Binky naturally)

-1st year feast... Harry staring in horror at the food...."WHere's the fine cuisine! You said the food would be just as good as Ankhmorpk!" (Of course Harry takes his food tastes from hanging out with the Nightwatch... no matter how often Susan trys to get him a proper diet...)

-Harry spreading rumors to older boys about UU books... in particular a certain set of... *Ahem* tantric guides that require that they be immeresed in Ice year round least they burst into flames....

-DE's recognizing the power of DIscworld wizards try to convert them to the pureblood cause..... UU wizards stare at DE's like they've lost their marbles... fight, blowup stuff, kill? When they have the good life of just hanging around goofing off and eating feasts nearly 24-7?

-prior to Dumbledore finding out Harry is on Discworld and/or figureing out how to get there.... Rincewind has to encoutner Harry at least once and recgonize the scar... or to be more precise

"Let me get this straight.... you're an orphan... "
"Yes"
"Adopted into DEATH'S family? And raised by various famous people of ankhmorphk as your uncle..."
*chibi harry ponders then nods.....*
"And you have a clearly unnatuarlly marked scar on your forehead.... well its obnvious... you have some sore of Destiny...so why don't yo.... LOOK OVER THERE!"
*chibi harry turns,s ees nothing. Turns back to the Rincewind shaped Dustcloud....*
"Wow...did the funny dressed man run away?"
YES. HE'S QUITE GOOD AT DOING THAT.

hehehe..that had me giggling but good. And it remindedme that I'm extremely behind on my Discworld reading. So many books, so little time :blue:

I seriously hope someone picks this up after it moves to the idea thread, too good to let it laungish.

I'm still debating whether or not moving it to the Ideas thread would be in bad taste or not....
