Harry Potter In The Witcher [68]

"I'm the one who brought most of them here," she said simply, a fierce pride in her voice. "It would look bad on me if they all just tried to mooch off of you. But enough about that. The mines have been started, and that's that. Now, what are you doing?" she asked, as she approached his large, cluttered desk.

Harry, with a kind, almost practiced gesture, transfigured a simple wooden stool into a comfortable, padded chair for her, which she gladly sat in. He then looked back down at the ...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [67]

Despite all that, he still had to try. He had to do something. If nothing else, Ciri was his friend, the most important friend he had ever had, and he would do everything and anything in his power to help a friend in need.

He would do it, even if it meant getting his own hands a little dirty in the process.

He stopped thinking about his own, internal moral dilemma and focused back on Merri, who was now just looking at the five, magnificent dragons in quiet, respectful wonder.

Harry Potter In The Witcher [66]

Harry looked at her, surprised by her sudden, insightful warning, and then he smiled, a genuine, appreciative smile. "I will take your advice to heart, Merri," he told her.

At that exact moment, a loud, guttural roar was heard from close by. Merri tensed instantly, whipping out her bow and having an arrow drawn and knocked in the blink of an eye. Her head tilted back, her keen, hunter's eyes scanning the sky for the source of the sound.

"Calm down," Harry said, his voice reassurin...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [65]

"Who do you plan on having live here?" she asked, her voice quiet, almost wistful, as her eyes roamed over the sturdy, well-built homes. Harry wasn't entirely sure, but he thought he heard a distinct note of deep longing in her voice as she looked around his nascent city.

Harry shrugged, a casual gesture. "Anyone who wants to," he said simply. "The kingdom I wish to make is for everyone, for all people who wish to live in peace with each other, to build a better life for themselves and ...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [64]

Harry chuckled a little. "Is it safe for me to assume that she is now your wife?"

"Indeed, she is!" Grogik said, his voice booming with happiness as he stood up, his massive frame almost touching the roof of the tent. "Best thing that's ever happened to me, she is."

"Congratulations, then," Harry said, a genuine smile on his own face. "I suppose I shall see you in two weeks' time, Grogik." And with that, he apparated away from the mobile camping grounds, probably scaring the absol...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [63]

These people, beaten down and wary as they were, would see it as him just being another powerful figure trying to take advantage of them.

The red-bearded man eyed him for a long, searching moment, before finally, with a curt nod, leading him over to a large tent that appeared slightly bigger than the rest.

Entering it, Harry found it to be only slightly warmer than the freezing air outside, and mostly empty, save for a simple bed, a few rough-hewn chairs, a small, wobbly table, an...

Notice!

I apologize for the past month’s irregular updates and the lack of updates altogether.

However, from now on, there will be daily updates every single day. Occasionally, there won’t be any updates on Sundays, but on the other days, there will be a daily chapter.

Harry Potter In The Witcher [62]

Harry made quick work of magically repairing his burned tent before sitting down to eat a quick breakfast of dried meat and stale bread. After that, he took a quick, bracingly cold bath in a nearby stream before packing the tent away once more and looking out into the vast, empty clearing.

The first thing he wanted to do, the first real step in building his new home, would be to make a tower. It would serve the practical purpose of housing him and hosting any future visitors he might wi...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [61]

After several more long, mentally exhausting hours, the intricate, multi-layered etchings were finally done, and the sphere's brilliant, teal glow slowly faded. 

Harry stood back and looked at the now-finished product, a faint, proud smile on his face. It was something else he had not yet bothered to name, but its primary function was the complete, and total, manipulation of entire biomes, right down to a microscopic, cellular level. 

If he wanted to, with this si...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [60]

The first task would be to set up a magical perimeter, a massive, invisible dome, to keep the precious heat in, and to stop it from escaping out into the frozen wilderness.

While his five, newly-subjugated dragons lazed about in the snow, their white scales blending in almost perfectly, Harry began to walk around the entire, vast perimeter of the clearing, setting up a large, complex ward. 

It was, at its core, actually a simple, common charm for magical insul...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [59]

Far North

Harry's POV:

Harry stared out into the vast, snow-covered clearing at all of his latest conquests. Five of them. 

He had already, in the first three short months that he had been here in the Far North, managed to track down and take control of five magnificent White Dragons. 

He had been right about them, too. 

They possessed a much higher, more cunning level of intelligence than the common, more brutish dragons he had encountered in the ...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [58]

The two powerful, elemental streams one of fire, one of ice met in a hissing, steaming vortex between the two dragons, and successfully managed to keep Harry's fiery attack at bay.

Harry cut off his stream of fire as he fully flew past his adversary. He banked hard to the right and quickly moved to continue his relentless attack before the white dragon could try and escape. 

The smaller dragon, however, didn't seem to want to try and escape at all. To its credit, it too turne...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [57]

With that in mind, it was time to get her some allies. And here, in this harsh, untamed land, would be his starting ground. 

He would start a new kingdom here, a kingdom of his own, and he would use it to strike down all the others who dared to try and harm Ciri. 

He would also use it to keep her creep of a father, Emperor Emhyr, far, far away from her. He couldn't just kill him, sadly, not without causing Ciri unimaginable pain, as he was, after all, still her fa...

"Harry…" Geralt said again, his voice still a low, warning rumble. Harry brushed it aside with an impatient wave of his hand. "Don't get it

"Harry…" Geralt said again, his voice still a low, warning rumble.

Harry brushed it aside with an impatient wave of his hand. "Don't get it in your head that I suddenly like Nilfgaardians or would ever, under any circumstances, help their rule," Harry said, trying to pacify the clearly suspicious witcher. 

"I'm just askin...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [55]

A Smirk, a grim, determined expression on his face.

Harry staggered into a crowded, smoky inn quite loudly, his movements still a little stiff and uncoordinated. He didn't quite know where he was, only that it was somewhere in the south, somewhere warm. 

All he truly knew, with a deep, primal certainty, was that he was absolutely, ravenously, starving. 

He plopped down heavily on a rough-hewn bench and waited for the serving wench to come take his order, whi...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [54]

As it turned out, Harry couldn't get himself out of his current situation. Not easily, at least. Vilgefortz, the arrogant bastard, was much more careful and meticulous than he had initially predicted. 

The sorcerer constantly made sure to have Harry checked in on, day and night, and he seemed to be completely immune to any and all bait Harry threw at him in order to get him to slip up, to make a mistake.

Harry had no idea how long he had been chained up in this damp, dark pri...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [53]

Harry woke up groggily, a dull, throbbing ache radiating from the back of his skull. He blinked a few times, his vision swimming, before his eyes were finally able to focus on the room around him. 

He seemed to be in some sort of… lab. A dungeon laboratory, to be more precise. He had seen a few labs that the sorcerers of this world used before, during his long years of "research," but not this particular one. 

It looked like it was located deep underground, or possibly...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [52]

Harry had been so stupid. So incredibly, monumentally stupid. How could he have possibly forgotten about the goddamn Thanedd coup? 

Normally, he wouldn't have been too worried about it. He knew the general outcome, that it was an expected event in the timeline, and he knew that no one who truly mattered to him died or got too badly banged up during the initial chaos. At least, not permanently.

Unfortunately, he had also recently found out that the fire-happy, cowardly ...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [51]

"Other world?" Dandelion repeated, his eyes wide with a mixture of shock and sheer, unadulterated curiosity. "You're… you're really from another world?"

Harry nodded. "I am. But I don't have the time to get into all the specific, nitty-gritty details of it right now. Ask Geralt after, if he's willing to talk about it."

"I still don't get it," Geralt interjected, his voice a low, skeptical rumble. "If you really came from a different world, how did you even know of Ciri in...

Harry's POV:

Harry stood back, a silent observer on a nearby rooftop, and watched as Geralt of Rivia, a whirlwind of deadly grace, slaughtered three armed men and then gave chase to the cowardly, fire-slinging mage named Rience.

When Harry had first talked with Ciri, all those years ago in another world, she had not liked to talk about herself much. She had always preferred to talk about the people around her instead, especially about the people she cared for so...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [49]

Triss looked at him in open confusion, her guard lowering slightly now that she had seen him drink. "I'm sorry," she said, finally taking a small, tentative sip of the wine herself. It was, as she had suspected, absolutely delicious. A fine Beauclair vintage, clearly. "I… I don't recall us ever meeting before."

"You don't?" the man asked, a strange, almost wistful expression on his face. "Oh well, perhaps I should have expected that. You had been very disoriented at the time,...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [48]

1264, Deep Mountain Pass Close to Kaer Morhen

Triss's POV:

Triss covered her eyes with a gloved hand, trying to shield them from the heavy, relentless onslaught of snow she was currently wading through. 

She couldn't be quite sure, but she was pretty certain the blizzard was actually getting even worse. 

She didn't ponder it for long, though, as she was currently focusing all of her magical and mental energy on just keeping herself warm enough not to...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [47]

"I still didn't use any offensive magic," Harry asked, his voice conversational, almost rhetorical, as he pulled his transfigured longsword from the ground where he’d left it and walked closer to the man, who was now struggling, and failing, to get back to his feet. "Does that mean I was still being honorable?"

"It would seem…" the man gasped, his voice tight with pain, as he managed to get off his hands and look up at Harry, his head tilted back. Harry could just barely see the man...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [46]

"I SAID GO! RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK!" Lazlo yelled, before letting out a fierce war cry and charging at the nearest Nilfgaardian soldier. 

Surprisingly, he was able to catch the man off guard, his desperate, final lunge piercing through a chink in the man's armor, right at the vulnerable spot at his neck.

This time, Ciri decided to listen. She turned and ran, as her brave protector, Sir Lazlo, fought like a cornered, caged animal. As soon as Harry felt that Ciri had gotten fa...

The Next Day

"Listen to me, child," Queen Calanthe said, her voice filled with a desperate urgency as she knelt down on one knee in front of her terrified, sobbing granddaughter. 

"Sir Lazlo will take you to the river. You must cross it, and get to the other side. You must find the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia. He will take care of you. Do you understand me, Ciri?"

Harry, once again a silent, unseen observer in the chaos of the falling castle, hated these kinds of ...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [44]

Harry was only really concerned about the fate of the royal family. 

It seemed that Queen Calanthe, true to her fiery "Lioness of Cintra" reputation, was not going to let her city go down without a bloody, desperate fight, and she, of course, seemed determined to lead that fight herself, right from the front lines. 

Harry watched with a detached, almost clinical eye as the two opposing forces finally met just outside the city walls, their meeting marked by a great, deafe...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [43]

"Yes, well," she continued, her voice tight with suppressed emotion. "I wish for you to heal my reproductive system, if it is at all possible. I wish for you to… to make me fertile again." She finally said it, the words hanging heavy in the air between them.

There was a moment of complete silence as the man, Harry, just looked at her, and for the first time, Yennefer could tell that he was genuinely surprised.

"You wish to have a child," he said, his voice softer now, his expre...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [42]

"Aye, that's the main reason," he confirmed. "Though I do find it incredibly curious that it ended up in your hands, of all the people in this entire world. Could you perhaps tell me how, exactly, you acquired my book?" Harry asked, though Yennefer got the distinct, almost certain feeling that he was only asking out of a sense of polite formality, that he probably already knew the answer.

"A traveling merchant," Yennefer explained, trying to keep her voice steady. "He claimed to have fo...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [41]

1262, Vengerberg

Yennefer's POV:

Yennefer sat in her plush, opulent mansion, a delicate, crystal glass of exquisite Evoluce wine in her hand. She was, once again, reading the weathered, leather-bound journal of the man who she strongly believed to be the infamous Black Mage.

It had been several years now since she had first acquired it, and she had already read it from cover to cover multiple times, yet there was something about it, something inexplicable, that would always...

Harry Potter In The Witcher [40]

"So…" Eithné said, her voice a little strained, though she tried to hide it. "That's what this has all been about, all these years? Your visits, your… interference? You wish to control the prophecy?" It sounded more like a statement than a question, a dawning, horrified realization.

Harry shook his head once again. "I could give two shits about the prophecy, Eithné, and what it says, what it foretells," he stated flatly, his voice cold. "I care nothing for it at all. The girl is a...
