Harry Potter: The Seventh Element
Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Return of Harmony Part 1
Previous Chapter Next ChapterA/N: Have any of you Bronies and Pegasisters heard Apples To The Core yet? If not, GO CHECK IT OUT! I think its like the Apple Family Anthem or something like that. It was in the Comicon sneak peak of FIM season 4. There's also gonna be a superhero dream episode (From context) And apparently Twilight will witness Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon from the eyes of Celestia (From Context) And Pinkie Pie's family comes to Ponyville in one episode!
Season 4 premiers November 23rd only on The Hub.
I have a plot challenge for you. Be warned it is Femmslash between Gilda and Rainbow Dash but it is a HP xover. Harry is turned into a baby pegasus and Gilda finds him and raises him in the Griffon Empire. He goes with her to Ponyville to socialize with his own kind as his "Grandpa" put it. Griffon the Brush off goes a bit differently. Gilda's father should be the leader of the Empire.
So that's my challenge. Harry should be the CMC's age or a bit younger. But not Pumpkin and Pound's age.
I couldn't say no to that sneaky Draconequess
Return of Harmony Part 1
Summary: While Harry and his class tour the Royal Gardens in Canterlot, Chaos and Disharmony erupt in the form of an old enemy of Celestia and Luna. Discord Returns. And its discovered that Harry takes more after his Auntie Lulu than everypony first thought...
Chapter 16: Return of Harmony Part 1
"How come the runt gets his own private suite when we get common guest rooms?" Diamond Tiara demanded as the class of foals walked through the gardens.
"Because Diamond Tiara, Harry is Princess Celestia's grandfoal. He always has a private suite for when he comes to visit his grandmother."
"Be grateful your staying in the palace at all. If it where up to me she'd be in the mud with the pigs." Harry said to Applebloom who giggled. "Ungrateful little bi-"
"What did he say?" Diamond Tiara snapped at the two as she passed.
"Nothing." The two said together.
"Now I want to start our field trip with a tour of the world famous Canterlot Sculpture Garden." Cheerilee said as the foals followed their teacher They came across a statue of a pegasi, earth and unicorn pony fillies. "This one represents Friendship." She lead them to a large statue of a pony holding the Equestrian flag. "This one represents Victory."
"How cool would it be to have that for a Cutie Mark?" Scootaloo asked her three friends as they left the statue.
Harry lagged behind a bit as he saw what the next statue was. He was hoping they wouldn't come to him.
"Now this is a very interesting statue. What do you notice about it?" Cheerilee asked as she pointed a leg at the towering statue of a mixed up creature.
"Its got an Eagle Claw!" Applebloom said.
"And a lion paw!" Scootaloo added.
"And a snakes tail!" Sweetie Belle said eagerly.
"This creature is called a Draconequess. "He has the head of a pony and a body made up of all sorts of things. What do you think that represents?" She asked.
"What's going on? You okay?" Shady Daze noticed their cowering friend. Strange because he was the Element of Courage. Featherweight came over.
"Confusion!" Applebloom guessed.
"Evil!" Sweetie Belle pushed the earth pony out of the way.
"Chaos!"
"Its Discord." Said a timid voice. The class looked to see Harry cowering between Featherweight and Shady Daze. "The Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony. Long ago. He ruled the land of Equestria in an eternal state of chaos. Grandma and auntie Lulu saw how miserable all the pony races where, and overthrew him with the known Elements of Harmony. They turned him into stone and ruled the land together for fifteen hundred years until Auntie Lulu became Nightmare Moon."
"Yeah right." Diamond Tiara scoffed. "Its just a statue. This isn't real. If it was real, where are all the other Draconequess?"
"The story was concocted for the history books." The class returned to pay attention to their resident alicorn. "The real reason Grandma and Lulu turned Discord to stone, was because he abducted her firstborn foal. Princess Liliana."
Even Cheerilee wasn't aware of this. Of course, most weren't aware of the true reason for the Battle of Discord.
"He took her from Grandma in the dead of night when she was asleep. And threw her into an alternate dimension. There she grew up. And at Sweet Apple Acres many years later...a foal appeared at the gates of the farm in a basket. The Apple Family adopted that foal."
Cheerilee gasped and held a hoof to her took the other foals a few moments to realize what their youngest classmate was talking about.
"That foal was me." Harry said as he walked away. "Miss Cheerilee I'm going back to grandma's."
"Of course. I'm sorry to have forced this on you." The pink coated mare apologized sincerely. "Featherweight, Shady Daze, would you make sure he gets to the castle safely?"
The two nodded and walked next to their mutual friend on opposite sides of him.
My Little Pony...My Little Pony...
"Get back here! you darn varmit cloud! Rainbow Dash is counting on me to help her!" Harry said as he chased after a cloud. He was a bit stronger than most foals due to his alicornness. So he helped out the weather ponies on occasion by moving clouds. He dashed to the cloud and...splat. "Eew! What is this?!" He was covered in something pink and sticky. He took a sample bite and chewed. "Cotton Candy?"
Rainbow Dash had caught a cloud too. And it rumbled. "Hey!" The rainbow maned pegasi said to the cloud. "Its not supposed to rain until tomorrow! You can't just!" Then it started pouring. But not water. "You just did." She grumbled.
"Rainbow Dash!" She heard Harry's voice. "Help I'm stuck!":
"What the?" She saw her little buddy stuck in a cloud covered in the cloud itself.
At Sweet Apple Acres...
"HEY! I DIDN'T TELL YOU TO GO ANYWHERE!" Applejack heard her son's voice from the sky as he chased another cloud. Rainbow Dashed chased another onto Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack was husking corn.
"Rainbow Dash, what's going on with this rain? I mean...chocolate milk? I mean...chocolate milk rain?"
"There's crazy weather all over Equestria!" Rainbow Dash said as Harry gave up chasing the cloud and fluttered back to earth.
"Its weird. Cloudsdale is being hit with a major cola storm right now." Harry said to his Earth Pony mother. "You should see it. Ponies leaving buckets outside to catch the cola!"
"Yeah but don't worry." Rainbow Dash reassured Applejack. "I'm not leaving you guys until we got total control of Ponyville."
Suddenly, the corn crop started turning into popcorn!
"Why would you wanna stop this?" Pinkie Pie asked as she bounced from popcorn pile to popcorn pile.
Harry took a sample of the popcorn. "Cheese!" He said. It was his favorite cheese flavored popcorn. He dove in. Ate a path way to the top and licked his lips as his head popped out. "Mmm."
"I heard about your troubles Applejack and came to see if I could do anything to help." Rarity said from under a fancy umbrella/rain ensemble. "Without getting dirty." She added. "Or wet...or out from under my umbrella."
Applejack rolled her eyes. Typical Rarity.
The Apples on the apple trees suddenly grew gigantic and too heavy. The trees slumped over.
"Woah those are the biggest apples I've ever seen!" Harry said innocently.
Little animals started eating the apples.
"Fluttershy, do something!" Applejack panicked. "These critters are eatin' my produce!"
"Um...now you know you shouldn't-" Fluttershy gasped as the little animals grew giraffe legs. "No." Fluttershy said with wide eyes. "That's not possible! I-I must be seeing things!"
Twilight came onto the seen floating a book in front of her face and Spike by her side. "Don't worry everyone. I've learned a new spell that will fix everything!" Her horn sparked with magical power. She lowered it and aimed it at the scene carefully. From her came a burst of Radiant light that flew over Sweet Apple Acres. But nothing changed.
"My Failsafe Spell...failed!" Twilight said disbelievingly. "What do we do now?" She asked the baby dragon looking down at him.
"Uh...give up?" Spike suggested.
"Come now Spike, Twilight will come up with something." Rarity said giving Twilight her umbrella saddle.
"Hmm...I got it!" The lavendar mare said eagerly. "Rainbow Dash, Harry, can you two corral all those clouds into one corner of the sky?"
As soon as Harry got his together he left so Rainbow Dash could keep them together.
"Applejack, I need you to bring those storm clouds down to earth." Twilight said.
Applejack twirled her lasso and lassoed the group of cotton candy clouds.
"Hey!" Pinkie said in disappointment as she was enjoying being under a chocolate milk rain cotton candy cloud. "What happened?"
Twilight whispered into Fluttershy's ear. Fluttershy eagerly nodded. "OH dear. I hope none of the animals see any of these delicious chocolate milk rain cotton candy clouds. I'd hate to have to share them."
"You and me both sister." Pinkie said from the cloud as she ate some of it. The animals shoved her aside. "Hey!"
"Heh, and when your done with that feel free to have some popcorn for Deessert." Applejack said with a chuckle.
"See Spike? There's no problem we can't overcome if we all work together." Twilight said to the baby dragon who inhaled and then belched as a letter came out in a burst of emerald fire.
Twilight levitated the letter and unrolled it. She gasped. "Come on guys. The Princess needs us in Canterlot right away."
"Grandma's twice in one week! Yay!" Harry said eagerly as he ran to catch up with his friends.
"Princess Celestia. We came as fast as we could." Twilight said as the seven entered Canterlot Tower.
The Princess told them the history tale of how they defeated Discord.
"All right Princess!" Rainbow Dash said eagerly.
"I thought the spell we cast on him would keep him contained forever. But since Luna and I are no longer connected to the Elements, the spell has been broken! I need you to weild the Elements once again and defeat Discord! Before he thrusts all of Equestria into an Eternal state of Chaos!"
"But why us?" Twilight started. "Why don't you-"
"Hey look! We're famous!" Pinkie Pie said seeing the window honoring their defeat of Nightmare Moon.
"You seven showed the true potential of the Elements and used their powers to defeat a mighty foe." Celestia explained as six of the seven admired the window. Harry hung back with his grandmother. "Although Luna and I are no longer connected to the Elements." She told Harry. "It is you seven who now control their it is you who must defeat Discord!" She declared with her wings unfurled in all their glory.
"Hold on a second!" Pinkie Pie said as Twilight was about to accept their task. "Eternal Chaos comes with CHOCOLATE MILK RAIN you guys. CHOCOLATE MILK RAIN!"
"Don't listen to her Princess." Twilight said to her mentor. "Of course we'll help stop Discord."
Celestia led the Seven Elements to the actual Tower itself. Where the Elements where kept. She insterted her horn into a lock and it glowed with radiant magical power.
"You can keep the Elements, I'll take that case!" Rarity said eagerly as she saw the jeweled case.
"You can stop Discord...with these."
The Elements of Harmony where gone!
Celestia gasped and dropped the box in horror.
"Oh well, if you guys need me I'll be outside in the rain puddles with a giant swizzle straw." Pinkie said eagerly.
"That box is protected by a spell only I can break. This doesn't make any sense." Celestia said as she paced trying to figure out what happened to the most powerful magical artifacts in Equestria.
"Make sense? Oh, what fun is there in making sense?" Said a deep accented voice with a dark chuckle.
"Discord." Growled Celestia. "Show yourself!" She demanded in an authorative tone Harry had never heard her use. At least not while he was around. She looked aroud for wherever Discord was hiding. "Stay behind me." She said to Harry in an order and deadly serious tone. Harry obeyed his grandmother and kept behind her.
"Did you miss me Celestia?" Discord asked as his voice echoed around the room mysteriously.
She found a miniature looking Discord figure in one of her windows.
"I missed you." The figure came to life in an animated fashion. It moved over to another window and laid back on an O shape in the window. "Its quite lonely being encased in stone. But you wouldn't know that would you because I don't turn ponies to stone!" He said angrily. He knocked on the O to prove his point.
"Enough! What have you done with the Elements of Harmony?!" The Sun Princess demanded.
"Oh I just borrowed them for a teensy little while." Discord said as if he didn't even care. He snapped his fingers and the Elements in the window dissappeared from their part in the window.
"You'll never get away with this Discord." Celestia growled angrily at the Draconequiess.
"Oh I've forgotten how grim you can be Celestia." Discord said as he checked out the claws on his lion arm in the window. "Its really quite boring."
"HEY!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "NOPONY INSULTS THE PRINCESS!" She flew at the window and smacked into it after Discord disappeared from i t momentarily. "Oh. You must be Rainbow Dash. Famed for her loyalty. The Element of Harmony you represent." Discord said in a larger figure of himself.
"That's right!" Rainbow Dash huffed. "I'll ALWAYS be loyal to the Princess!"
We'll see about that." Discord chuckled.
"I can't believe we're waisting our time talking to a tacky window." Rarity scoffed as she turned away from one.
"The beautiful Rarity. Representing the Element of Generosity if I'm not mistaken." Discord reappeared in the window Rarity was in front of.
"So ya know who we are, big deal." Applejack said to Discord in the window. She didn't like this fella one bit. He creeped her out.
"You seem to know our strengths and weaknesses too." Harry said quietly from behind his grandmother. Very frightened by Discord's power.
"Yes Harry Potter." Discord chuckled darkly. "And yours is the one that binds all the elements together along with the Element of Magic represented by Twilight Sparkle. Courage. Without the Courage to stand up and use their Elements, they would fall. You remind me so much of your adorable mother." He chuckled darkly. "Fluttershy's is kindness and Pinkie Pie's is a personal favourite of mine. Laughter." He laughed and giggled as Pinkie Pie started to as well. He was dancing on Twilight's head in the window.
"Pinkie!" Twilight said reproachfully.
"He's dancing on your head!" Pinkie Pie continued to giggle.
The window shattered as a ray of sunlight hit it.
The Elements gasped. "Princess." Twilight muttered. She had never seen her mentor this furious.
"He's never met Applejack before." Pinkie Pie said in confusion. Remembering what Discord said about Harry's mother.
"Oh you mean the Princess never told you how little baby Harry came to Sweet Apple Acres. Hardly a surprise. You always liked to keep your secrets Celestia." Discord chuckled.
He remembered taking his niece from her crib. How dare Celestia take his lands and add them to her new country? They where given to him by father! So he could continue his chaotic practices in peace! She took his land, he took her daugher.
"Discord I was a young and foalish ruler a thousand years ago. You had no right to take it out on her! No right to steal my daughter!" Celestia hissed to another window representation.
"Steal your daughter Princess?" Twilight asked. Harry looked up to his grandmother.
Celestia sighed sadly. "A thousand years ago," She began her tale and told the Elements of Harmony the story of how Discord stole her daughter Liliana, Harry's mother, in the dead of night from her crib. Right from the King and Queen's room no less! She told them how she searched high and low for the Chaos Spirit for months finally finding him, but not her daughter.
"Discord had thrown my Lily into an altenate dimension. Never to be seen again. After my husband disappeared I felt I was no longer fit to be titled Queen and took the mantle of Princess in its steed." She sighed sadly.
Harry stared up at his grandmother. So that was why his mother was wherever she was? And it was all his fault. Discord. Harry growled angrily at the cackling Spirit of Disharmony and Chaos.
"Stop Stalling Discord. What have you done with the Elements of Harmony." Celestia demanded. The mares all watched the animated figure.
"Oh so boring Celestia. Really? Fifteen hundred years apart and that's all you want to know? Fine I'll tell you, but I'll only tell you my way." The figure pointed a paw pad at his chest.
"To retrieve your missing Elements, just make sense of this change of events. Twists and turns are my Master plan, then find your Elements back where you began." The Chaos Spirit said as he shifted all over the room. At the end he chuckled darkly and seemingly disappeared.
"And just to give you some insentive to find them." Came Discord's voice.
Celestia's eyes widened. She had left her grandfoal unguarded! She turned to see the floor beneath Her grandfoal ripple as if it where quicksand.
"I'm sinking!" Harry shouted in terror. "Momma!" He reached for Applejack who was at the edge of the quicksand floor. He was halfway gone already "Momma!" He said one more time as A lion's paw pulled him down all the way.
"WHERE HAST THOU TAKEN HIM VILE CREATURE?!" Celestia demanded in the Royal Canterlot Voce in complete and utter rage.
The mares where slightly afraid of the Princess fury.
"W-w-what's that Twilgiht?" Fluttershy asked timidly as she stared up at the furious princess.
"Its...the Royal Canterlot Voice. I've never heard her use it before." The lavendar mare said nervously.
"Oh don't worry he's perfectly safe. Its time for some quality time with Old Uncle Discord." Discord chuckled darkly. "Bye bye."
Somewhere in Canterlot...
Harry appeared in a flash of light.
"Momma?" He asked the dark place. "Where are you? Momma?"
"Hello little nephew." Said the voice of a now familiar Draconequess.
"Discord." Harry growled. He charged up his Chidori and sent it into the darkness in a sharp spear. "Sharp Spear!" He heard glass shattering.
"Oh come now dear nephew, what did I ever do to deserve that?" Came the indignant voice of Discord. Harry moved into the darkness.
"Your getting warmer." Discord teased. "Warmer." Harry moved further in.
"Boo." Harry froze and turned to find two eyeballs floating in mid air staring at him.
Harry let out a squeal and flew into the air in fright.
The lights where turned on. Harry was in a mirrored room. The floor, walls and even the door where made up of mirrors One was cracked into six pieces.
Discord laughed. "You should have seen the look on your face." He laughed in a mirror.
"Let me out of here!" Harry snarled at the draconequess.
"Your free to leave anytime you want little pony." Discord laughed darkly. "The door's unlocked. But be warned where it leads you, you may not like what you see."
"Screw this. I'm outta here." Harry said. Not noticing that the door was embelmed with his Cutie Mark for the door knob. "What?"
Harry was back in Ponyville. Chaos free. More specifically, in front of the Ponyville Orphanage.
"Git goin'." Said a male voice. Harry turned to see his family. More specifically, Big Macintosh, Granny Smith, Applebloom and his Momma."
"I don't understand." Harry said. "What am I doing in front of the orphanage?"
"Yew've been nothin' but trouble since you came. Now git in there!" Big Macintosh.
"Momma?" Harry pleaded to the angry looking Applejack.
"I ain't yer Momma no more ya little varmit. I wish I never was. GIT IN THAT ORPHANAGE OR I'LL BUCK YOU SO HARD YOUR GRANDCHILDREN WILL FEEL IT!"
"Applebloom?" Harry begged his adopted aunt. She hmmphed and turned her nose up at him. "Granny?" He edged closer to his adopted great grandma.
"Get away from me you little freak!" The old mare snapped as he tried to get closer. Harry recoiled. "It ain't natural. Unicorn horn, pegasus wings AND earth pony strength? I cast you out of the Apple Family! Never come back to Sweet Apple Acres!"
"Wha? But. I don't understand." Harry said as the Apple Family turned their backs on him and walked away from him. "What did I do wrong?"
In Ponyville, the Element of Courage suddenly cracked. It reached the middle of the tie.
"Oh its nothing you did wrong my dear little nephew. Its how they really feel."
"What? Your lying!" Harry said firmly. "Momma loves me! All of them do!"
"Then why did they leave you at this orphanage? Why did Honest Applejack lie to her family about you for the first nine years of your life? She's ashamed of you."
"That's not true." Harry said.
"I just don't want them to know." Came Applejack's voice to Big Macintosh. Harry and Discord where in the past. Must have been a few months after he was adopted.
"AJ he's gonna figure it out eventually when he get's older." Came the voice of Harry's uncle. Harry saw his little self fluttering around his head before snuggling into his back.
"I don't care. They can't know. Nopony can know about him. We gotta hide his wings somehow."
Harry's ears laid back. He went gray.
In Ponyville, the crack grew...
"She is ashamed of me." Gray Harry said. Then he got angry. His scar started glowing a grisly green. "She lied to me." He said angrily. "All my life! Liar! Nopony loves me."
"What's this?" Discord asked. The foal rose into the air and dark magic surrounded him. Sickly blue beams arced out of the orb
In the Castle...
Princess Luna rushed to her sisters side. Having felt something she hadn't in a thousand years. "Sister." She said fearfully. "I fear that-"
"I know Luna. I have felt it too." Celestia said mournfully. She lowered her head and a tear fell to the floor.
"Have we lost him?" Luna asked with tear streaked eyes.
"Not yet. There is still hope." Celestia said as she stared out into Canterlot. "Twilight. You must stop him!"
Back with Discord and Harry...
"Harry?" Discord asked in genuine worry. He hadn't expected this. He just assumed his nephew would react the same as his mother and friends did.
"Harry is no longer here." Said a dark voice. "I am...Nightmare Spectre."
The Element of Courage snapped in two. It was broken...
To Be Continued...
Here's part one of Return of Harmony. Nightmare Spectre is Harry corrupted by anger and the dark magic of the Horcrux in his body.
