This takes place after the selection of champions when Ron closes the curtains of his bed. I made this mostly for me. out of an idea that's been on my head for a while. hope you enjoy it.

Ch1 Imagination unleashed

As he stared at the curtains away, Harry felt sadness, and yet a wave of determination hit him, this time despite assuming Hermione was on his side He need to act, not react, thanks to the threat of Sirius over their head, he had started managing to see tv, and saw heroes wearing armors and creating robots that could combine, what was stopping him, he was perhaps not quite the most intelligent but knew when he was over his head, it was time to make sure he was the hero of this story it was time to forge himself something to survive. and make it out if not as the hero,that everyone believed him as the survivor he knew himself to be. He needed a place to work, a place to build, forge, create. He needed a workshop...maybe he could ask McGonagall...or perhaps if denied maybe it was time to use his talents and work in the chamber of secrets. he only had himself as far as he knew. He looked at the floor and said the words that would become his mantra "lets survive"

The next morning he felt sneers coming from several tables, it was a day off it was time to get this over with and get the ball rolling and approached the Teachers table "Professor McGonagall"- he said adressing his head of house decided he needed to talk to deputy headmistress as Dumbledore seemed nowhere to be found"Being I'm a champion, Is there any place I can work on something for myself? I mean I understand I could use an empty classroom,but as of now I see myself working with metal and other materials that may not work in a classroom" - professor Flitwick who was talking with Professor McGonagall before being interrupted by Mr Potter looked interested wondering what sort of creativity Mr. Potter would unleash seeing the look of determination on one of his students" -well inside the castle perhaps none place is suitable to work on metallurgy, but there is a place outside a small hut its in state of disrepair...but you could reconstruct I believe and is a good place for you to start your projects." Professor McGonagall said to Harry with a Smile, Harry looked grateful at her professor "could you tell me where and I'll get started right away" she conjured a piece of parchment and drew a map as she marked the place, he thanked both professors and continued his way to his new workshop. The professors looked on curiously "Im almost afraid what he has in mind" Minerva McGonagall said "Im not, he has a goal...survival" Flitwick said proud Minerva looked down to the floor wondering about the tournament and the place one of his favorite students found himself in, in danger again, and maybe this time alone "Yes, but thats what makes me afraid its not what he will make, is what he is going to face" Flitwick looked on" he is his Parents son, we can but believe in him"

"Well this is a dump" he said finding the site of what his future workshop was... the roof was partiallly gone quite a few things were missing, and a few walls needed to be rebuild. But it had rudimentary metallurgy tools, it had space and a place that would be his... this it would do. it was time to decide how to proced, he wanted to make an armor, but what to make it from. He remembered when making his way through muggle school he had been intered in space and aircrafts, he briefly mused on maybe that was why he was so interested in brooms now as it was his way of being in the air too, he decided there that he had to find the materials to make an armor that would be made of aerospace materials, After all spaceships and fighter aircraft had the strongest and lightest materials he could think of...perhaps he could make his own alloys, after all he remembered titanium alloy is used on space machines "maybe a titanium alloy armor...or maybev make a new alloy" he mused outloud at the empty space his workshop was. This was the beginning he mused back and rolled his sleves and taking his wand he transfigured a few tarps and put them around the damaged walls and almost not existant roof . and then went to find rocks to make a new roof and walls he had a few difficulties ahead He needed to go get titanium alloy and chromium and whatever the windows from the space shuttle were made of, he would need to learn basic metalurgy and make suits of armor... he had a start though he would start with this small workshop. this was just his humble beginings. And his hope to survive.

Hermione came in later she was very confused, on one hand harry had entered the tournament, and she wanted to hear he didnt enter, she believed in him, but part of her doubted her, as she moved the tarp to enter she noticed, a roof had been partially build, and he wasnt anywhere to be found "Harry?" he came under a table he was fixing "OH hi Hermione I was just fixing the table" she looked confused "what is this?" she said looking at everything "A workshop?" Hermione looked as if she was gonna faint, here she thougth he wanted a place to practice magic and he is here BUILDING THINGS "a workshop? Harry you should be preparing for the tournament" she said reprouchpuly "YEA a Workshop!" he said exited" this is my way to prepare, I'm always gonna be hunted by bad guys so maybe I should make myself weapons and stuff for now, I think I wanna make mysef something out of those super hero tv shows mixed with some aeronautic theory and military ideas" ... Hermione looked at him baffled and in realization of where he got the idea and asked "like power rangers?" she asked in disbelief "I mean I do want a giant robot but that's step 2 also seriusly that's what they are called? I expected a name like super taskforce alpha oir something still...neat" he said smiling and resuming to work on the oven and repairing what he needed Hermione was baffled and didnt know what to think so she went for reprocehful why go for untested when he could go for proven theory in books "Harry those are fantasy they cannot work you should be studying and preparing this is not gonna work" Hermione said worried "So? the ideas are sound we can't depend on magic or theory for everything, and what I'm best at? athletics, let's make something that makes me sturdier, capable of enhancing my reflex and perhaps eventually flying broomless! " he said exiting thinking of superheroes, his decision was now completely taking a mind of his own he convinced that he could the creation of the armor was step 1 step 2 was creating things to go against things larger than him- a giant robot, or perhaps he would like having several robots that would become a giant robot eventually- step 3 more armors, more equipment weapons, and abilities "FLIGTH?! are you nuts you need thrusters you need aerodynamics and most of all imagine statue of secrecy we can't have super heroes?!" she said histerically was Harry losing her mind... but Harry couldn't see her as he had already turned his back again to continue working "So? it's just equipment for here in the magical world...maybe I could find spells to maybe not notice me. Or people to see something else like superman or paint it black and be like batman " Hermione grabbed him and tured to him looked at him as if mad " Harry. This is the magical world, you are approaching this as a muggle it won't work "he just smiled his mind was long made and he was gonna do it with her or without"it's time to prove them wrong" Hermione stomped he had decided and hoped that she would help him and to his horror she left. she had called him her first friend he looked down and decided to quietly answer what she had implied. "Sorry Hermione " he said to himself, "but I want to choose my fate out of my own free hand and my way." he said working out he need to find basics of reinforcement in transfiguration a bunch of idea s in his head. he needed to get his hands of titanium, and wondered how then remembered ...goblins.

he had finished his charms classes and decided that maybe professor Flitwick was his best choice "Professor I need a minute " harry aproached the tiny professor"Of course Mr. potter I assume it has to do with metallurgy in which case I'm sorry I won't be much help " the profesor said quickly putting his glasses back his nose "Oh no I need something else...I need means to obtain titanium or metal in general and I assumed you could point me to the right direction" Harry said hoping Mr Flitwick would help him Flitwick looked thougth full and hummed for a second"Never heard of this titanium from my goblin counterparts " Flitwick said and his Ravenclaw nature came with his following question"could you perhaps explain Mr Potter" Harry was amused as he had little idea but he could explain what it was"Honestly is a mineral I know alloys are made with titanium to make it stronger than most metals, and is lighter" Harry tried to explain "like mithril?" Professor flitwick asked " I never seen mithril sir, so I doubt it, Titanium is used by muggles for cars,planes, bicycles same as aluminum..." Harry said " Then I'm afraid I won't be much help but there is a place that you may be able to contact there is a magical mill I hear they also have a muggle front so maybe they can help you" he wrote down the name" you may have to pay in advance, for the kind of material considering what you are asking" Harry wrote the address, and then decided to push his luck" Professor where would I go about acquiring dragon leather" Flitwick smiled" Aha that I know, Madam Malkin, can help but there is Twilfitt and Tattings. " Flitwick said Harry smiled"thank you professor you been unbelievable helpful "My Pleasure Mr Potter."

he used the information and asked for quotes once he had some samples of quality send his measurements to Madam Malkin as her Leather seemed more confortable to work with and waited. he also made an order of as much titanium chromium aluminum ingots he could from the magical mill.

The week continued slowly, day to day things and plans were being created, he went to the Crevey brothers, that were happy to provide him with Masked Rider, VR troopers ,Bettleborgs, and power rangers art he liked all the ideas, but he needed to make his own he decided the armor from Bettleborgs...in silver, a helmet like Masked rider and power rangers - he really liked the idea of Masked rider being a mode change, so maybe he should make new armors for each purpose . so that idea was staying. and power rangers, he liked the robots. he made all ideas into 1 but the most important made it his own the suit would be black at first as it was cheapest dragon skin, silver as it was the best way titanium alloy would look, and finally the weaponry would need to be created. this was the beginning, and he would also make it transformable. or at the very least transportable, and maybe magic would make a transformation sequence...he was a kid not above alll still.

As the weekend came he had his base, a leather dragon skin suit made of pants boots, a shirt with high neck, he also now had extra fabric, he would use it as line for the suit pieces he would charm it to be cooling as leather would be too hot even in time of year and make it more confortable, once that was done,he added connection points, for his boots armors and places where the armor knee guard would be. on his boot points for protection reinformcents and metal shin guards, and steel toe, that would be rather protected with titanium and a port to install a blade there- he always wanted to be a pirate with a hidden blade- his chest would be a silver plate his shoulders would also be silver . He also realized that maybe he should just figure out to make some sort of wearable chainmail with the alloy for pieces of his body, he was a magician. why the eff not. he took a piece of titanium and started melting using his transfiguration skills he made a mold of titanium that if he did it right would be almost fiber like despite being made of titanium alloy he would have to test it. he had a week and change more he would not fail.

by the end of the weekend the dragon skin was covered by a very subtle and strong fabric of titanium chainmail as if it was clothing, he tried on the suit it added weight which was an issue but didn't restrict his movements, it was time to add extra plating the helmet and weapons.

The weighting of the wands had happened Snape angrily letting him go…. Rita Skeeter creeped him out and knew that the "interview" would come to bite him, he was unconcerned. As far as he was concerned he knew one thing he wouldn't be allowed to bring his suit of armor, so the transformation device needed to be perfected, as well as a form of summoning the belt... he would ask professor Flitwick later about that he still had no Hermione as she remained angry after the first time of the warehouse. sure, enough during class he was being taunted but that's ok he could endure it,he had been lone before, he could again. He needed to survive. Same as before, this was a mission now: Get through first task then the next, solving one problem maybe another and then he would get out alive and hopefully whatever the Triwizard Tournament was the end of this crazy train ride named his life...but if whatever was trying to kill him remained. he needed to be ready. He looked at the badges and inwardly laughed ,honestly, potter stinks? I mean he had been working on a set of armor almost nonstop on every free time he had on his survival suit, on a blacksmith place, of course he stunk.

-

He had return from Hagrid adventure to show him the and his only thougth was "Dragons... seriously DRAGONS" his armor while theoretically would survive dragon fire, he wasnt sure and didnt have a place to test that theory, he now needed either 2 things learn to fight fire, resist fire, number 1 was insane in his brain but not impossible, number 2 was on the table while the armor would- probably - survive the temperature, his body inside maybe would not- make that probably not, he was having trouble even with cooling charms inside the suit he needed something new... then a brilliant idea came "a heatshield" he said to nobody, he also came to a realization: Madame Maxime would tell Fleur Karakov found out no question so Krum would know, Cedric needed to know and he would make sure he would. He was after all now close to a bonafida super hero,at least in looks last time he tried on the armor. He also made a note to ask for more NASA books from the Crevey Brothers and Dean who had become his main Suplyers of Muggle books and ideas thanks to their parents, he longed for magical bookstores to start stocking actual relevant material for his needs but decided to worry about that later.

He left Moody office, he said play to your strengths, at first Harry asumed he meant flying... or perhaps he was telling him to only finish one or two weapons. He thougth about the state of the armor, he had a week the helmet had been done and the padding was coming nicely but if he needed to wear it as is it would do, he had figured out how to make a diamond resistant like glass structure but he process made it yellow as far as he knew he could see well and when installed to the helmet and it had survived the stress test and that's all that mattered (he had tried destroying and everything, and failed). This machine would be powered by him he needed to develop weapons powered by his magic, that would not need his wand. As far as the suit without a helmet, he had also tried to destroy the suit survived undented most spells curses and jinxes he could think off, the belt was a mixed bag he had made the armor capable of automatically equip it to himself. his glasses were an issue but not like he could fix it in a Hogsmeade visit now. It was time to learn summoning charm. because as far as the suit went it was good, as far as he could do and exactly what he wanted. His prototype heat shield was working so far taking the concepts of a book he managed to obtain once again thanks to Crevey brothers he had small wince, as when this happened Hermione kept trying to say his armor was a useless endeavor and it hurt him see her have no faith in him, and Ron well... Ron wasn't helping. The school was odd Ravenclaw didnt care, Gryffindor had mixed feelings Slytherin made it sure that the Potter stinks continued, and well Hufflepuff has hostile. he had tried to show some solidarity to Cedric but his house ...well they didn't deserve what Cedric was as far as he was concerned. now he needed to learn the summon charm.

-
Flitwick agreed to tutor him on a charm that was basic but if harry mastered would save his life, he spend a few days, as he mastered Accio he had now a prototype super armor, and a prototype heat shield, all within an armor the belt clearly worked but now...now was the real test. He wished he had time to figure out swords, but he didnt know enough about runes. That was his next subject, he regreted following Ron to divination now.

Dumbledore paced his office he was conflicted, the two friends of Harry were fighting with him, he had an idea thanks to the information that he had gotten off the professors about Harry strategy a magical armor, he smirked perhaps the title of auror was not what Mr. Potter would do with his life, the prophesy lingered now, he needed Voldemort was outthere and needed to be killed, but he didn't know if the price was worth it, as it stood, he had sentenced harry to dark years to make a weapon...and maybe that armor was the power he knew not, but the term horcrux remained, he was afraid of the number he knew that he needed to make sure Voldemort stayed dead, this time. At the same time, he knew that Harry was growing evolving surpassing both his parents now. He was now becoming the person he wanted him to be: a hero. Unfortunatelly one destined to die...it weighted him heavily, he thought the only way was Harry to die. but he was also unsure what was to happen after this. the future was nebulous. but fact remained Voldemort needed to die, and it would be Harry who would need to do it unless he died in this tournament...In which case Mr Longbottom may take his place instead... the entirety of divination was odd, and he was afraid. for he knew that if Voldemort won... probably England would lay at the end of the ocean soon. as Atlantis hubris did them in. But there was something that bothered him as well he saw the worst parts of him...and Tom ,in Harry.

the belt wasn't the best he could use better aesthetics, he would work on that after the task he walked after talking to professor McGonagall all champions were there he was calm, or as calm as he was gonna be he had given the belt to Flitwick as McGonagall said it was an issue to her as she would be part of the tent and Flitwick would be on the stands... it was the time now, it was time to fight: Krum, Fleur and Cedric were there ready for it. Or perhaps not as their faces of determination had a hint of nervousness, perhaps same face he ported as well but he breathed deeply and thougth of his plan.

-
Well a horntail… sure… why not? fate hated him already whats one more thing. If he had to die today... well he died by his own hand. he heard all the battles of the champions... it would be his turn soon. he was oddly calm a horn sounded he flipped the entrance courtain and walked unflinchingly towards his doom he stopped and looked at his doom in the eye... a dragon in front of him. He closed his eyes and tried to steel his nerves.

"I chose this fate out of my own free will would have been great" he said quietly before taking his wand and pointed to the air "ACCIO HENSHIN BELT" -"Mr. Potter is summoning something, on the stands a silver object with what appeared a tube appeared, harry caught it in his hand, once he was done, he put it on..."HENSHIN" he took the activation phrase based off the Japanese for transform, not knowing it was the original call for transform.. a flash of blinding light happened.

A brigth light covered the stadium, and once it faded a knight like figure stood where harry had once stand the transformation had work "very well then" he said, his back was a shield. he retrieved it , and decided to just walk straight, the dragon breathed fire, he put his shield up, and the fire hit the shield head on. The shield the heat following principles found in space shuttle and other machines such as apollo reentry modules managed to make sure harry survived the heat of the dragon flame and so far it was holding perfectly, reinforced with magic everything had worked out as good as he could have, he could keep pushing and his cooling and insulation spells were working. He was slowlu one step after another, making it to the dragon. he could feel heat on his armor slowly rising, but he wasn't dying yet. Sure it was uncomfortable but he was literally going straight through a path of fire towards a dragon. With a shield a wand and an armor, he could not hear the crowd however they were going mental seeing what they thought impossible just walk through fire...dragon fire at that protected by a mere shield and a suit of armor

the dragon seeing fire did not work stopped and tried to slash at harry, harry jumped back thankful for addidng some enhancing features to his boots-an at will extra speed and basic weigthlessness to enhane his jump distance, It was time to evade the dragon slashed at him once again the hit shaked the ground and had thrown the dragon off balance somehow. He had jumped and had lost his shield stanked in the floor of the arena, he knew he had a very short had no shield and only had some speed decided, he would take it death or Glory some would have called it. As he saw the gold egg shine in the corner of his eye he landed and ran towards the nest. He expected Mother dragon To move and sure enough there it was Harry saw as the Dragon wanted to put his weigth on top of him. Harry took a look at his gauntlet he had reinforced this arm gaunlet as much as he could in turn towards this battle, and decided to try his luck his legs enganced by the boots spells and boosters- if we could call it that as it was mere charms to help him be more agile and limble- and jumped towards the dragon in an uppercut fashion... wishing to scream Sho-Ryu-Ken his fist took a contact to the dragon, he expected the gaunlet to break but yet, the metal did not falter or bend, and the dragon stumbled he was amazed but he didn't have time for that he had bougth himself time by stumbling the dragon he dived for the dragon gold egg as he reached it he jumped back aimimg to get behind his heat shied as the dragon prepared to fire at him again he knew, he had won ("TIME" could be heard from Ludo). but not like a dragon would care, the dragon fired regardless, Harry barely managed to make it to his heat shield on the arena floor and put it up on time. He could hear now dragon handlers take over. As he was sure the danger had passed he looked at his heat shield clearly still standing but very dented and clearly ashen black but it was still there,he smiled under his helmet and put the helmet on his back... and just like that he stood. The stadium cheering as he still holding his egg. He wanted to take his helmet off but he could wait perhaps it wouldnt hurt to bask on the glory of something he had actually done. On the tribunes everyone was cheering and were amazed at what they had just seen.

It was the begging of the end of the era of Voldemort and the beginning of the era of Mr. Potter, the knight of the light.

And several people in those tribunes didn't like that.
