1 Awakening:

< Fortress…. In the middle of the North Sea >

*Groan

The environment around is only depressing, a small boy around twelve years of age is waking up inside a cell. The boy was feeling an intense headache, probably due to memories of his twelve years after merging with another soul. Then he straightened and his body started jerking intensely. Everything he could feel was intense pain all over his body as if his whole body is recreated. He was unaware of the black mist releasing from the scar on his forehead and then gathered into one small ball and burst into white flames in the darkness of the cell. Only one other thing could be felt in this depressing atmosphere which was so afraid that it couldn't even move from its place. It was a wraith-like dark creature, called the Dementors. These creatures consume a person's soul, leaving their victims in a permanent vegetative state, and thus were often referred to as 'soul-sucking fiends'. The Dementor was scared of the boy because of the pure holy aura he was releasing.

After about fifteen minutes the pain in the boy's head subsided and he checked himself. He felt very light, the discomfort he remembered from the memories due to the existence of the cursed soul inside his head, was gone now. He looked around himself and only saw a dementor flying out of the prison cell. It made him curious that the dementor was scared of him. Then he convinced himself that this must be the existence of divinity in his body.

Now he sorted his memories. Someone informed the ministry about the petrification of the beast of Salazar happening in Hogwarts. First, Albus Dumbledore was suspended from the position of headmaster, probably because he is Harry's magic guardian. And then when the ministry came to know that Harry Potter could speak Parseltongue, he was sentenced to Azkaban without any trial like Sirius Black. Now, Harry has to wait for another petrification to occur, and then that would be enough for Dumbledore to take Harry out of prison.

Harry has a few days' time to rest and prepare. The prison is not a suitable place because of the prisoners who are banging their heads on the walls and shouting some nonsense. Through his sharp hearing, he could hear some woman shouting Voldemort's name. 'That must be Bellatrix Lestrange.' He thought to himself. 'There is also Sirius imprisoned here.' As the thought crossed his mind, he stood up and walked towards the cell's door which was locked. He just spoke [Gate] and a portal opened in front of him which led him directly outside the cell. To his amazement, the wards didn't restrict his no-spell magic or maybe it couldn't recognize this magic. He passed through many floors and saw depression all around, he was feeling very depressed but then he saw his godfather, Sirius Black. His hands shook due to the excitement of finally having a relative. This feeling probably came from the merged soul of Harry Potter. When he stepped near the cell, he heard him saying, 'I am responsible for my friend's death. I killed them. I shouldn't have let them change the keeper.'

Harry again opened [Gate] into the cell and appeared before Sirius. Sirius didn't even notice him. Harry stood there and spoke, <Come forth Light! Tiny Illumination: [Light Sphere]> and a ball of light about the size of a football appeared in the room illuminating the surrounding. Sirius was still talking to himself not bothering with the person. <Come forth, Light. Breath of Vigor : [Refresh]> and then <Come forth Light! The calm of the Goddess: Mega Heal> When the room was lit, Sirius jerked open his eyes looked up and glanced at Harry who was still wearing the round glasses and green eyes.

"Harry! Is that you?" Sirius said surprising Harry by how easily he recognized him.

"Yes, Sirius. It is me, Harry. I am still shocked, how did you recognize me?" Harry spoke lightly. Sirius stood up and enveloped him in a quick hug.

Sirius laughed and then kissed Harry on the forehead and said, "That strange and unknown magic can only be the work of Lily's son." Hearing that Harry also smiled and then Sirius asked, "Why are you here in these kinds of clothes, Harry? Don't tell me you broke into Azkaban just to take me out."

Then Harry told everything that happened to him in the few previous days.

"That damn Lucius. I am not gonna leave him alive once I get my hands on him." Sirius growled in anger while gritting his teeth.

"Forget about him, Sirius. He is just a fool. Now, you have to get out of here." Harry suggested Sirius.

"No, I am not gonna leave you alone in here."

"Sirius calm down. Listen to me, Peter is alive." Sirius was grumbling to himself until Harry said that.

"What!? Where is he? You are lying?" He spoke in disbelief.

"No, I am not. He is alive and hiding somewhere. That's why I am telling you to move. I can take you out of here. " Then without speaking further Harry put his hand on Sirius's shoulder and said [Mimicry] the physical appearance of Sirius changed into a random person from Harry's neighbourhood.

"Whoa!?" Sirius cried in astonishment. Harry just smiled and opened a [Gate] to the Diagon Alley and dragged Sirius through it. Then he also used [Mimicry] on himself and changed into some random guy. Then he walked along with Sirius towards the Knockturn Alley.

"Where are you we going, Harry? You are completely acting like your mother, now." Sirius said still not used to walking because of spending so much time staying in one place.

"What!? I am taking you because you are wasting time and we need you to have a wand." Harry said in a manner that clearly said to not ask more questions. Seeing this Sirius shut up and followed. While walking Harry used his [Creation Magic] to create a bar of gold in his robe and put it in the [Storage] no-magic spell. Then he entered Borgin and Burkes's shop and helped Sirius find a wand after selling the Golden-bar of five kilograms for 900 Galleons. The market price of the 5 Kg was 1000 G.

"Sirius, now go to 12 Grimmauld Place and do not appear in public places." Harry told Sirius but Sirius asked, "And what are you going to do?"

"I am going back to Azkaban and waiting for the ministry to make the right call, and then I will make them pay for what they did to me in the name of justice," Harry said but his plan wasn't that simple. Then after a little chit-chat, Harry was able to convince Sirius and left him. He went and bought several food materials for himself and also bought four wands of different cores for himself. One of them was a Thunderbird tail feather. According to the shopkeeper, this type of wand is difficult to master but good for transfiguration work. The other wands are of; Dragon heartstring, Unicorn hair, and Veela hair.

Harry cast < Bend, O Light, Guiding Curvature: [Invisible] > along with [Mirage] to make himself invisible but he is only invisible to the eye not physically. Then he used [Fly] spell to fly towards Austria. The distance was about 1400 Km therefore, it took him 8 hours along with many stays for mana replenishing because the flight magic costs a massive amount of magic power. Then landing on a snowy mountain he used [Creation] to create another magic <Contract> which will bind the subject to the user through a soul bond. This bond will last till the caster is dead. He also created [Psychic Shield] to protect his mind from being intercepted. After taking a while of rest, Harry again flew with [Fly] and reached a certain building painted in brown colour with a tall square-shaped tower with a cone-shaped top. Harry straightly went to the top of the tower and entered using [Gate]. By using [Gate] he just has to take a peek and then open a portal. He then went through a glass window and appeared in a dark cell guarded by Dementors.

"Welcome to my small abode Harry Potter. Though I wonder what brings you here." An old voice came from one corner surprising Harry.

"Hello, Mr. Grindelwald! If you know who I am? Then I believe you can guess why I am here." Harry spoke in a calm demeanour.

"If you are here for the Elder Wand, then I must disappoint you that I don't have it." He spoke.

"I know where it is. But I am not here for the wand. I am here for allegiance." Harry spoke to him.

Hearing this Grindelwald laughed and said, "I am now too old and want my time to be spent in peace here, Mr. Harry Potter."

"Then if you would share the knowledge of your dark arts with me, I would be really grateful. I will fulfil your dream of ruling over both magical and non-magical worlds." Harry then sat cross-legged and used [Creation]. This time, he created [Mind Scape Copy] skill, that can copy the whole knowledge and memory set of a person's mind. Then he walked toward Grindelwald and took his hand. After five minutes all the knowledge of magic from Grindelwald was copied into his mind. If it wasn't for his improved body he would be writhing on the ground right now because Grindelwald's mindscape was like another Hogwarts library. Now, he only needed to go through all the magic done in the memory at least once and it would be mastered.

"That's all Mr. Grindelwald. Thank you for your cooperation." Harry spoke surprising Grindelwald because he was an accomplished occlumen and even he couldn't feel any intrusion into his mind.

"Mr Potter, can I ask something from you?" Grindelwald asked Harry. He could notice deep grief in his voice.

"Go ahead." Harry nodded to him.

"Dumbledore can't give me what I want? Can you give that to me?" Harry was shocked at the request of the old man. It didn't take him long to understand his request. Dumbledore couldn't give him only one thing, Death!

"What!?"

"Please, Harry, I will be grateful. You already took what you were here for?"

Harry didn't say anything. He just raised his right hand towards Grindelwald and said, <Shape forth Earth! Pebble from the Ground: [Stone Bullet]>. Then a bullet of condensed soil formed before Harry's hand and shot towards Grindelwald's head and made a small hole in his head killing him on the spot.

Grindelwald's body lied lifeless on the ground and Harry opened [Gate] to Azkaban and vanished from that place. But unknown to him many people were alarmed by his little visit to Nurmengard Castle.
