HP: The Magical Gamer [Chapter 29: Albus Dumbledore!] (Patreon)

"Keep the children safe. I will take care of him." Dumbledore spoke to the adult members of Order of Phoenix and walked ahead, leaving them behind. Henry couldn't help, but think that Dumbledore was being suicidal. Voldemort was almost twice his level.

So, consider him impressed and bamboozled when Dumbledore somehow managed to keep up with Voldemort.

He was awed as he saw the magical giants fight each other with all their experience and skills. Henry confessed to himself that even though he was magically more powerful than Dumbledore, he lacked all the skills and experience.

In the end, Dumbledore managed to drive away the dark lord. Not before the atrium was filled by people though. He heard horrified gasps as people witnessed the snake-faced man glaring at the old headmaster.

There were some who also shot pictures of him. Journalists. Voldemort simply apparated away with an enraged scream.

Henry sat beside Harry, opposite to Dumbledore who was sitting behind his desk.

"You can start now. I can see the questions bubbling inside of you. Ask away. I will answer it if I can." Henry said candidly, glancing at Harry and Dumbledore.

"What happened to Voldemort in your world?" Dumbledore began the questioning.

"He was killed by my father, James Potter and Neville's father, Frank Longbottom when he came into our house to murder us a decade ago. Our families had decided to live together during the war for extra protection.

"Our fathers held him long enough for us to escape. After that, they both used sacrificial magic to blow up the house. They died along with Voldemort. At least that's what everybody believed.

"But he is still alive. On Halloween, which was today in my world, I met him in a secret chamber under the third floor corridor. He possessed my sister and made me retrieve the Philosopher's Stone. But the bastard killed my sister." Henry snarled, finally showing some emotion.

Harry Potter and Dumbledore felt the oppressive aura filling the room. But as soon as it came, it disappeared.

Henry was again sporting a blank look.

"You have- had a sister?" Harry asked incredulously.

"Yes. She was the best. She was my twin. And after your question, I can guess that in your world you don't have an Iris Potter. What a sad world." Henry said wistfully.

"What happened to your mother? Lily Potter? You didn't mention her." Harry asked his younger doppelganger, not disagreeing about the sad world part. He wouldn't have minded having a sibling.

"She is alive and well. She was the one who kept us safe and happy. Why do you ask? Where is your version of Lily Potter?" asked Henry.

"She died protecting me along with dad." Harry Potter whispered bitterly.

Henry gave him a sympathetic look.

"You sure are unlucky. You don't have Iris and you don't even have awesome Lily Potter. I feel sorry for you. Then who raised you if not mum? Sirius? Maybe Andromeda Tonks or Alice Longbottom?" Henry pondered out loud.

"Alice Longbottom and Frank Longbottom were tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange. So, they couldn't take care of Harry. Andromeda Tonks is a nice choice, but no, Harry is living with the Dursleys." Dumbledore answered since Harry Potter was extremely silent, glaring at the headmaster.

"Who? Dursleys? Who are they?" Henry asked with a frown, not remembering anyone with a name like that.

"You don't know the Dursleys? Wow, you are really lucky. I don't know if I should be happy or envious." Harry snorted.

"Your mother's sister's family, Harr- Henry? Don't you know them?" Dumbledore queried, ignoring Harry's smouldering glare.

"Ah! Now I remember it. Penisia or something. Mum did talk about her a couple of times, but she always seemed angry and disappointed discussing this Penutia. I have never met her and mum barely made two mentions of her in the last few years." he shrugged and gave a confused look to the hysterically laughing teenager who kept mumbling 'penisia' in between his laughter.

"Petunia Dursley, Henry. Not Penutia and definitely not Penisia. Stop laughing, Harry, you are not a ten year old who finds the word 'penis' funny, are you?" Dumbledore asked lightly, his own lips twitching in amusement.

"He is such a simpleton. I can't believe this world's Harry Potter is so un-cool." Henry said under his breath.

"I heard that, kid." Harry grumbled after he stopped laughing.

They continued their discussion some more, but Dumbledore sent Henry off since he needed to have a private conversation with Harry Potter.

Henry was sitting on a bed in his new room. In Grimmauld Place which was covered with Fidelius. It wasn't big and comfy like his real room back in his world, but he didn't come here for comfort. No, he came here because he had no choice.

Ideally, he should have remained back in his world and tried his Necromancer class there, but he couldn't. He couldn't bear to see the broken look in his mother's eyes everyday. He just couldn't.

So, he ran away. But the thing which sold him on this idea was that when he leaves a world, the time in that world would stop completely. It will freeze until he comes back to that world. That was the best thing he could ask for.

That's why he accepted Isis' offer to leave his world and jump into an unknown one.

This way when he goes back to his world, not a single second would have passed there. He would be able to resurrect Iris without wasting months or years of her life. When she would come back alive, nothing would change for her.
