Two Minds, One Wand - Chapter Sixty Eight
Added 2023-12-08 18:39:35 +0000 UTCHey guys. Hope you had a great week. As promised, this time we're delving deeper with the timeline of the past, as Harry begins to make a bigger footprint as he tries to tie up Amelia/Bellatrix and all the other possibilities of the decade. Bellatrix may not be marked as a Death Eater yet, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have her own plans...and can Harry get Alice when his own parents are trying to block him?
Hope you like the chapter. Posting some art in a second and more to come through the week.
P.S. With the final line of the chapter and that...2v2, who would you bet on? Have you ever seen that 2v2 portrayed in fanfic?
You're the best and I'll keep trying to say thank you - coming up, we have some cool story arcs, some great smut, a bunch of Christmas art, more experimentation with video and animated images.
Thanks, Rob.
Edit - Uploaded EPUB of Chapters 1 to 68 for anyone that wants the full story so far. PDF will follow as soon as I can get it to compile without crashing (story's too large!)

The thing with Bella is confusing. Can't you mark the time switches with 'past present'? Just have fuck and control past Bella already. Did Harry point out to Bella he doesn't require Bello to kowtow or grovel at his feet like Voldemort does. I think that can make a difference to the strong willed, prideful young Bella.

That would be great if she got something much worse because they thought Narcissa's domination didn't work. That says a lot about Tonks since she thoroughly enjoyed it. Nymph indeed. Daphne still needs to be put in her place, however. I hope Harry does just that with Tracey. I love the Hermione/Helena set-up you got going on here. Those two are...very close, hehe. Those two have paired off quite nicely. I really hope to see more if two. In fact, considering how close Helena is to her mother, I wonder if we can possibly see some Hermione/Helena/Narcissa stuff. Hermione is so dirty lol. Harry has completely corrupted her. Wow, she is my favorite! Her wanting to do that back there. She doesn't want it but she secretly does. It started off with her just wanting to be closer to Harry but now she is deeply interested but doesn't want to say and is afraid. I can't wait till that glorious scene haha. It is a shame that Helena is so far away and isn't with her at Hogwarts but I can see the use and importance of building international ties. But it is also a danger being out there alone. I am really liking Alice. Frank is too much of a Mama's Boy. Ew, the mental image of Slughorn getting it on. Bad thoughts! I would feel sorry for that young Veela, but she might have been in on Sofia trapping Harry. Speaking of Veela, I bet the Queen was his prototype Whorecrux before he perfected the formula, which is why she lays half-dead. Harry needs to awaken her like sleeping beauty. This, of course, means that he would have to go back to the conclave. I can't wait to see Sofia's commeuppance. Bella, I bet, was his second. She didn't nearly die but she went batshit insane. The Black Madness. ย Oof, that is bad news with the Goblin King. But on the other hand, this is a golden opportunity to make a key ally. He failed with the Veela but he can make inroads with the goblins. If he trusts them enough, they might even be able him if they discover he is a time-traveler. But helpful Goblin King Ragnok is kind of a cliche, but if the price is right... Harry does not know this, but the future has already changed. That locket was missing in the future because Mundungus already stole it but without the time-travel, that locket would have still been there because there would have been no symposium. Surprised there were no security or anti-theft charms, but I guess the Blacks were too arrogant, thinking nobody would steal from them. I am guessing Harry succeeded in bonding Bellatrix. Thats why her eyes went glossy. Another time-travel consequence. I still maintain that it had already happened, which is why she seemed flirty and slightly obsessive with Harry earlier in the fic. Her laying eyes on Harry, and the incident at the DoM, must have triggered something. She will need a repair job on looks though, after Azkaban. Dude! He can have two Black sisters and the daughter of the third! Hat trick! The one thing that still bothers and nags me is Amelia, however. She killed her younger self! True, witches age slower than Muggles, but Amelia killed her younger self. This means that Harry simply can't bring her back to the future and restore the timeline. But even if Harry erases her memory and makes it so that she pretends to be the original Amelia, she still be an extra 15 years older than she should be and will grow even older in the future, so she should start to age. But it doesn't end there! Here is the real crazy part. Amelia should, essentially, be trapped in a perpetual time-travel loop and should, in theory, start looking like an old crone before too long. Unless, of course, Harry either creates a paradox if he hasn't already or pulls off some crazy time-travel shenanigans to set things right. Maybe erase past Amelia's death and bring future, crazy Amelia back into the future..or kill her outright. But no, she's too valuable, or should I say, the Bones Voting Block is. So Harry should want to take her back, even if she has gone off the deep end. But does Harry go back to the future or does he stay? Harry might be well served in using time-travel to deal with Grendelwald. In canon, not the movies, Gellert didn't like Voldemort and clearly did not respect him. Whether because he had true remorse or he just didn't want Dumbledore's tomb raided, he did not want Voldemort getting the Elder Wand. He scorned him and refused to help. But in this world, Voldemort messed with his mind and so Gellert thinks of him like a son, so Voldemort is obviously expecting loyalty. But past Harry will know when future LV busts him out and can do a reversal of fortune with him. He can either make GG his own toy or set him truly free. Of course, I am not sure how good Gellert will be with a wand after languishing for 51 years. At a certain point, however, Voldemort will inevitably realize that Harry has, in fact, meddled with time, so Harry has to be very careful and get Amelia under control, or else shit will truly hit the fan, but where does the past Harry go? Does he die? Or does he merge with himself, thus becoming twice as powerful? On a side note, I wonder if future Harry has a kid out there somewhere. But then, he does not seem to be sleeping around. Plot twist: Astoria turns out to be his. ๐
