Harry Potter

and the

Other World Mage

Chapter One: Arrival

Hearing. That was the first sense to return to me. Quiet birdsong reached my ears. A pleasant change from the norm. Touch came next. The feel of soft grass under my tired body was divine. Another drastic, yet very welcome change from the dry, cracked earth I had grown accustomed to the past few years. Smell. The scent of living trees that filled my nose was like some sweet perfume from the days of old.

'Weather this is Paradise or another world, I don't care.' I thought. 'I'll take it.'

Before I could open my eyes to verify my new location, yelling and screaming began to replace the birdsong in my ears. Forcing my eyes open, ignoring the bright sunlight, I leaped to my feet. Readying myself for danger. Looking around, vaguely noting that I was in some kind of park, I saw that the only thing out of place was that there was nothing out of place. Everything was in tact. Nothing was destroyed.

'Other world then.' I thought. 'Guess I should be glad I'm not dead.'

The yelling was getting closer, though. I ran towards an oddly paved road, looking in one direction then another. Looking left I noticed the source of the commotion. A group of kids, running in my direction. "Towards the park." I muttered, smiling.

'How long has it been since I've seen that?' I thought, letting my body relax. 'Three years? Four? Either way, it's good to see.'

With a smile still on my face I allowed my magic to wash over my body, concealing me from view. Letting the peacefulness of this world relax me further, I wandered over to one of the larger trees in the park. Resting under a full tree couldn't have sounded like a better idea. Serious matters could wait an hour or two.

Just as I sat down against the tree, the kids ran into the park, a smaller kid slightly in the lead. About halfway through the park though, the smaller one tripped and fell. Hard. Wincing in sympathy, I stood up, dropping the cloaking spell. Before I could take a few steps the other four kids caught up to the fifth. Instead of helping him up like I expected, they began hitting him. Punching, kicking, pretty much whatever they could think of it seemed. Clearly not simple rough housing.

My pace quickened as my anger rose. They could easily cause lasting or permanent damage that way without meaning to, though it seemed that they did mean to. Before I could reach them though. the little one vanished. Quite literally vanished. Instinctively, I cloaked myself again and sent out a magical pulse set to detect life. The four bullies showed up, obviously, but the other one didn't. Increasing the range of the pulse, however showed him to still be nearby.

Looking around it didn't take long to find him. Thankfully, the group of idiots were too busy staring at the spot that their target had disappeared from. I ran over to the little one, who was looking around in confusion.

"Keep calm." I whispered.

The kid jolted as I gently grabbed his shoulder, letting my magic spread the cloaking spell to him. As he faded from view I drew some magic into my eyes. The Mage Sight ability was a pain in the ass to learn, but it was damn useful. Even invisible I could still keep an eye on him. As well as see his core. All Mages get their power from a magical core. Unsurprisingly, his glowed bright with power.

'Brighter than most I've seen.' I thought with a smile.

"Just keep calm and wait for them to leave." I said, still whispering.

'This day could not get weirder.' Harry thought. 'First I teleport away from Dudley's gang and the I'm hearing voices and turning invisible.

"Just keep calm and wait for them to leave." The voice whispered to him. Remembering his attackers, Harry turned to look for them. They had stopped staring at the ground and started panicking. Seconds later they were running, screaming.

'Great. I'm probably going to be blamed for this.' Harry thought.

Suddenly, the hand on his shoulder lifted and Harry saw himself flicker back into view once again, along with someone right next to him. He was definitely strange, besides the fact that he had made the two of them invisible somehow. He had a pair of odd, long gloves on his hands with the fingers missing. His top seemed to be made of red leather and would likely go down past his waist when he stood up. His trousers were simple cloth that seemed to fit well, but were made to be loose around his legs. His black hair was long and pulled back into a ponytail. Finally, his eyes. They were red, bright red.

The stranger smiled at him before getting to his feet and walked over to a large tree, stretching his arms along the way. Harry followed him, watching him sit against the tree. He gestured to the ground in front of him. "How about you take a seat, kid." he said. His accent showed he was British, but Harry couldn't tell what is was. It was almost American, but not quite.

"Thank you." Harry said, taking the offered seat. "And thank you for helping me as well."

The young man smiled and bowed his head slightly. "You're very welcome. Does that happen very often?"

Harry looked down at his lap and remained silent. Though that seemed to be answer enough for the strange man in front of him.

"That's a yes." he said, frowning. After a stretch of silence, Harry wasn't sure how long, he felt a strange sensation wash over him. It kind of felt like what happened earlier, when he was made invisible. He looked up and saw the man holding his hand up towards him, his glowing hand, his face tense in concentration. After a few seconds Harry could feel the pain Dudley's gang had caused him begin to fade. It kept fading until it was completely gone.

When the feeling went away and the mans hand stopped glowing, he let his hand drop. "Sorry I didn't get to right right off." He said, smiling once again. "In my defense, I'm still a little out of it from the journey here."

To say Harry was shocked was an understatement. In fact, he was speechless. "How did you do that?" Well, almost.

The young man shrugged. "Magic."

"But magic doesn't exist.' Harry said in disbelief. That was what Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia had always said.

The man in front of him, a real wizard it seemed, frowned. "You can say that, despite having a magical core yourself?" He said.

Harry's eyes opened wide. Well, wider than they already were, which was quite an achievement. That couldn't be right. He couldn't do magic. He was fairly certain that he would've noticed that. "That can't be. You have to have made some kind of mistake."

One of the mans brows rose at Harry's words. "Is that right?" he asked, the amusement in his voice evident. "Then how were you able to teleport away from those kids just now?"

Hello! Welcome to my first Harry Potter Fanfiction! Thank you for reading!

I'd like to say I don't plan on getting too far away from the canon story here, but I've only written two chapters at this point. And considering the character I've introduced here (plus a couple more in the future) is going to be fairly powerful, not to mention my views on certain cannon characters, I think it's safe to say that I'm gonna blow a lot of the cannon story apart here. NOT SORRY!

So here we have my OC finding Harry and begin to explain a few things about magic. Now, since he is indeed from another world, his abilities are going to be vastly different from the magic in Harry's universe, but that doesn't mean he's going to be all powerful. He's not going to be able to kill Voldemort with one shot, but he is going to be exceptionally strong. And he will be teaching Harry and a few of his friends this magic in addition to helping with Hogwarts stuff. If that isn't your thing, you know where the door is.

As for next chapter, well, I'm not a fan of spoilers. You're just gonna have to wait for the upload. STILL NOT SORRY!

To be fair though, the next chapter is already written, so it shouldn't take to long to get it uploaded.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! And I'll see you in the next chapter! BYE-BYE!
