Twins: A different life - Discontinued - Sorry

Ninety-Three

Marvolo was looking around like it was his first time to Diagon Alley and it was understandable why, everything was completely different to what they knew now from the buildings to their clothes; but Camelot was behind even the Founders time as it was without magic.

"Ah, here I am with Merlin," Harry pointed to a younger version of himself and a young man who was dressed in black trousers tucked in to his brown boots with a blue linen V neck shirt which was bound by a utility belt with a red scarf around his neck, he had a brown jacket to finish the look and little Harry was dressed similarly.

"That is Merlin!" Marvolo exclaimed with wide eyes.

"Strange right?"

"He is but a teenager!"

"He looks like it, but I think his age, in this time, is around 24. I don't know his actual age though because of his time travel." Harry said, "We're heading to the castle." Harrison and Marvolo followed Merlin and little Harry up the winding path and Harry couldn't help but smile at Marvolo's excitable behaviour as they went; it was just another point that indicated the man was actually human despite popular belief. Merlin stopped to introduce little Harry to a pretty girl carrying a basket and Harrison's eyes lit up.

"Here we go," He said walking closer with Marvolo, the Dark Lord stopped short with his eyebrows rising.

"Is that… Guinevere?"

"Yes, amazing right?"

"It truly is."

"It's nice to meet you, Harry,Gwen said pleasantly.

"What are you doing here, Gwen?" Merlin asked.

"Collecting fresh fruits for the Lady Morgana, she prefers them over oats for her breakfast."

"She was a serving girl for Morgana?" Marvolo said and Harry nodded.

"Yes, that's how she met Arthur."

They listened to the rest of the conversation before Gwen had to hurry away to return before Morgana wished to dine. They didn't meet anyone else until they got in to the castle walls where Merlin introduced little Harry to Gawain who was riding out on his horse.

"This is surreal," Marvolo muttered watching as Gawain rode out.

"It gets worse." Harry warned at they actually entered in to the castle. Marvolo looked completely amazed as they went through the castle, they passed Gaius, the physician, and walked up to Arthur's chambers. Little Harry was told to wait as Merlin went in to the room and Harry being Harry wandered down the corridor, he was looking as the tapestry that was hanging on the walls when he literally walked in to someone and was knocked to the ground. It was a young woman who was dressed in a rich green dress made from velvet and mesh threaded with gold with wide flowing sleeves, she had long dark hair that had a natural blue tint to it and it had styles with two braids that came from her temples to meld in with the rest. She was tall, with pale skin and high, aristocratic features offsetting piercing violet eyes that were full of knowledge; her full bloody lips parted in shock as she looked down at the boy.

"I-I am so s-sorry, My Lady, I was not watching my steps." Little Harry stuttered out looking up at the woman in fear.

"You ran in to the Lady Morgana!" Marvolo yelped in astonishment, and Harry pulled his hair sheepishly.

"Yeah, I was terrified."

"Are you not a quaint little thing?" Morgana cooed looking down at him with a warm smile, "Are you lost, little one?"

"N-no, I came here with Merlin, I am working with him to gain knowledge for when it is my time to find work." Harry told her, then his eyes widened and he scrambled to his feet and he gave her a neat bow which made her smile slightly.

"You are sweet." She said, "What is your name?"

"I am called Harry, My Lady,"

"An unusual name," Morgana commented, "Where is your place of birth?"

"Scotland, but we have always travelled, My Lady." Harry told her, and she nodded.

"Come, I am supposed to be dining with Arthur on this morning and I cannot allow you to stand in the halls alone. The guards may get the wrong idea." She held out her hand and little Harry's eyes went as wide as saucers before he got it together and took it softly, she smiled brightly and led him back to Arthur's rooms just as the door was opening.

"He's right out here, Arthur." Came Merlin's voice as he stepped out and came face to face with Morgana, "Morgana!"

"Good morning, Merlin." She greeted, "I believe you brought someone with you on this day." Merlin noticed Harry by Morgana's side and he blinked.

"I apologise, I was longer than anticipated."

"Worry not, he is a delightful creature. But let us not leave him in the halls for fear of the guard's reaction." Morgana said breezily before leading him in to the large open chambers. There was a large mahogany table with two main chairs and benches lining the sides, it was set with golden plates and goblets and cutlery. Arthur was stood by the table, he was a broad man with thick blond hair and an aristocratic face, he was dressed in white lined and tan trousers, he turned to face them with a somewhat haughty look, but it didn't reach his blue eyes which were warm and open.

"King Arthur," Marvolo murmured taking in the details.

"He's only Prince at this point." Harry told him, "Unless you want to watch them eat, then it's the end."

Marvolo nodded and they left the memory and were stood on the outside of the pool, Harry pulled back the memory in to the phial and walked back out to the study.

"I can't believe you walking in to Morgana, literally." Marvolo shook his head and Harry grinned.

"Yeah, I know, I think that is one of my more embarrassing moments." He agreed,

"What was Arthur like?"

"Surprisingly, despite the look, he was nice. He was arrogant, then again, who isn't when they are in a place of power? But he was very fair and just and he actually cared about the people and their views opposed to only his own image like his father." Harry said sitting down.

"Morgana had such a presence around her, it is astounding to think she was unknowing of her magic at that point." Marvolo shook his head and sat down.

"I know, it was a shame Morgause only taught her dark magic before she was grounded."

"She was still powerful without it." Marvolo said and Harry nodded.

"Oh no doubt," Harry agreed, "Ready to leave? We can come back, I want to show you the day when Ric thought it would be a good idea to put me on a hippogriff and let me fly around the Astronomy tower; Rowena was not pleased."

"I cannot imagine why," Marvolo drawled amused. They left together, Harry led him to the nearest exit and they both awoke in their bodies. Harry groaned slightly and stretched his limbs as Marvolo did the same.

"So, what do you think?"

"That was truly spectacular to see." Marvolo murmured after a few moments of silence, he had a small, nearly invisible smile on his face, "Thank you." Harry smiled in return.

"You are welcome."

The Dark Lord rose to his feet and swept from the room with a nod. Harry snapped his fingers summoning his working and decided to see what he could get done before calling it a night.
