Chapter 38: Destiny's Tattoo
"Bullshit, you have to know more than that."
"The oldest mention I have found about it only mentioned that it would chose its owner." The Ancient One replied. "I do find it odd that it chose you. Hundreds of people, since before I had even stepped into this building for the first time, have tried it on only to be rejected. Yet you are here and it actively tried to reach you and had judged you worthy."
"Just great," Harry rolled his eyes. "and what the hell am I supposed to do with it?"
"Anything, nothing, it's entirely up to you." She replied.
"What happens if I don't wear it?" Harry asked. "Matter of fact, what happens if I do wear it?"
"I do not know," The Ancient One said in an honest voice. "I truly do not know much about the armour but I can research it. It will take me some time though, I can contact you when I am done."
"So at first you're asking if I am an insane murderer and now you're telling me to just go take your suit?" Harry looked at her with disbelief.
"It's not my suit," She said with a small laugh. "it is yours now."
"And you are letting me take it? Why?"
"The only thing my last master had said to me about the suit was 'if somebody is ever able to take the suit then do not get in their way unless you are sure that you can kill them, but if somebody is ever chosen by the suit then let them take it and trust they know what they are doing'." The Ancient One responded. "I will simply have to trust that you know what you are doing."
"You are mad, you realize that, right?" Harry asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"I am mad? I suppose I am, would you say that you are not?" She asked.
"I would say I am not mad, wouldn't believe it though." Harry said before he looked at the suit. "Great, now I've got to hide a suit of armour." Harry said, more to himself. The armour reacted to his words and raised it's right hand, it touched Harry's chest before it disappeared. Once it was gone Harry felt a tingling sensation in his chest. "Oh you have got to be kidding me." Harry said as his eyes widened, he pulled his shirt down and say the symbol of the armor tattooed to the center of his chest. "Great, like I didn't have enough tattoos." Harry sighed before closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and mentally counted to twenty before he breathed out. "Alright, not that this hasn't been great, but I have hit my limit and I have things to do."
"I understand, I will contact you when I have finished my research into the armour." The Ancient One said, "shall I have Mordo escort you out?" She asked.
"No," Harry said after a glance at Mordo who looked like he was trying not to gape. "I can do it myself." Harry waved his wand and a small piece of paper appeared, the paper floated into the hands of the Ancient One. "that's my email and number, use one of those because I promise that I will shoot first and ask questions later if I find any evidence that any of you have tried to magically get into my apartment."
"Very well," The Ancient One nodded. "before you leave, I would like to ask if you would be interested in becoming a student here?"
"A student?"
"Yes, your magic intrigues me and i would like to learn more about it, in return I am willing to teach you my brand of magic. Does that offer interest you?" She asked.
"I will think about it." Harry said, the Ancient One seemed to realize that this was the best that she would get for the moment so she gave him a glad smile.
"Thank you, please feel free to visit in the future."
"Yeah...well goodbye now, come on Padfoot." Harry said as he walked out with Padfoot following him.
"You are just going to let him take it?" Mordo hissed to the Ancient One once Harry was gone. "We do not know what he or the armour is capable of."
"No...no we do not." The Ancient One said in a thoughtful voice as she looked in the direction where Harry had left.
.....
"Woof." Padfoot barked a few minutes after they had Kamar Taj.
"You said it." Harry snorted, a few well placed spells were probably the only reason that people didn't pay attention to him talking to his dog.
"Woof."
"Yeah, definitely." Harry nodded in agreement. "Still, it's just my luck that I not only got another tattoo but also an ancient suit of armour. Though, with the way my luck goes...I suppose it could have been worse. Still, maybe Fleur will be happy I finally changed my look."
