Plot bunny I have

Aekiel · Jan 11, 2007

Hi, had a plot bunny gnawing at me for a few weeks, and I've finally got round to doing a bit. Its a HP-Cthulhu Mythos type crossover and I've done one scene already.

HP - Cthulhu Mythos

Remus watched with worry in his eyes as Harry flailed about in his bed, his screams mixing with those of Mrs Black’s portrait downstairs in a cacophony of noise. Pointing his wand at the terrifying sight before him he whispered a trembling ‘enervate’, but the result was not as expected.

Harry shot bolt upright in his bed, his eyes wide and bloodshot as tears of blood crawled down his cheeks. His limbs stretched so much that Remus feared he may damage his already weakened muscles as he watched on in horror at his surrogate godson. The screams reached a horrible crescendo as he barely heard a dull pop originating from the shrieking boy’s shoulder only to stop suddenly as he seemed to slump into himself. Remus let out a sigh of relief, lowering his wand and collapsing into a nearby chair, but his relief was short lived as Harry slowly raised his head, no expression adorning his warn and sweaty face and his eyes, his normally vivid green eyes, glazed over with a white mist that seemed to steal all the colour from the sixteen year olds face. Remus warily met the child’s gaze, and could do nothing at the terrifying sights he could read in them. Visions of death and plague passed through his mind in a maddening rush and he could do nothing but stare as his soul felt as if in flames.

At almost the point where the old werewolf thought he may go insane from the nightmarish scenes in his mind Harry uttered something that would forever lay ingrained into his memory in a voice that seemed so ancient and malevolent a voice as could ever be heard in this universe.

“Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.”

The words, so terrible as to belong to a demon of myth and legend, gave Remus the shock he needed to tear his gaze from the possessed boy and to raze his wand. He pointed it at the teenager and cried out in a fear filled voice “STUPEFY” and Harry slumped onto his bed, his eyes closed and his breathing starting to calm.

Remus kept his eyes on the boy a moment longer and turned and ran from the room as if a devil was on his heels. He yelled only one word as leapt through the bright green flames of the fireplace
“Hogwarts!”

Its set a few chapter in, after Harry's been in a fight that went bad for him, and is the scene that's been plaguing me a lot. I have a few more key scenes in my head, but that's the clearest one. So what do you think? Should I continue?

Being a big fan of the Cthulhu mythos, I'm going to have to say "HELL YES!" to this idea. I'm not clear on what exactly was happening in that scene, was Harry being possessed by a Deep One or becoming one?

I haven't quite decided that far in. I just had that scene in my head. I was leaning more towards possession than becoming one, but that could be the way it goes in the end. Either way I've got the time and inspiration to do this Since I can't access the internet on the bus

Did you ever read the webcomic The Call of Whatever? It was a fun ride through the Mythos.
