Author's Notes:

This new Story continues off where the renamed Changing the Tapestry of time ends, and when Harry actually becomes a POV Character.

I would recommend still reviewing the previous story for certain events that will be mentioned but this is where Harry begins

Please Note this is Fanfiction, and thus AU, certain events such as what are covered in this chapter never happened in cannon but I feel could have.

Three years later Late 292 AC Kings Landing

"Catelyn, it has been so long since I last saw you," Robert said seeing the Starks arrive in Kings Landing.

"So it has my King, over ten years if I remember correctly," Catelyn said politely as she helped a little boy out of the coach they were in.

"Has it really been that long, I cannot believe that," Robert said as Catelyn grabbed a crying infant and opened her dress slightly so he could get to her breast.

"You're not trying to hit on my wife now are you?" Ned asked as he rode up followed by four boys.

"Of course not, brother, though I will not deny she still is quite fine," Robert said with a smile.

"She also is the mother of five, how is your family?" Ned asked as one of the boys with him got off their horse and went to the coach and helped a small girl out of the coach before helping a second slightly older girl out.

"They are quite well, I can barely believe that Joffery is 10 already. Now forgive me but is that Harry Arryn?" Robert asked as the boy who was helping the girls out of the coach turned to him.

"Yes, King Robert, how are you?" Harry asked kindly.

"Rather well, Myrcella has been missing you, well actually most of us have been," Robert said with a smile.

"I am sorry to hear that," Harry said looking at the ground ashamed.

"Don't be Harry, Jamie just wishes he would have thought to take you as his squire before you went and fought in the Greyjoy Rebellion. But enough of that, Ned I am sorry but I do not recognize most of your family, would you mind introducing them?" Robert asked as Harry started to help the other boys off their horses.

"Not at all, you obviously know my wife Catelyn, so I will start with my children from youngest to oldest. First, we have Rickon who is only three months old and is the little one who is in Catelyn's arms. Just older than him is my son Brandon Stark or Bran as we call him, and he is four and is hiding behind his mother. Then we have my daughters Arya who is five and Sansa who is seven and who have Harry wrapped around their little fingers. Then we have my two oldest sons Robert or Rob, who is the oldest and my heir, and then Jon Snow, my bastard son both of them are eleven like Harry." Ned said pointing out each of them as he named them.

"Ned, who is this last boy?" Robert asked as Cersei and his children came down the steps from the castle.

"This is Theon Greyjoy, Lord Balon Greyjoy's son, and my ward. He is currently the apprentice of Hullen the Stable Master in Winterfell, but since I figured his father would be here I decided to bring him along." Ned said kindly as a dirty blonde haired girl who had been walking with Cersei bolted and ran to Harry.

"Harry, you're back, I have missed you." The blonde girls said hugging Harry tightly.

"Hey, Myrcella, yes I am back but just to visit with my sire Lord Stark," Harry said with a smile.

"That's too bad, you could learn so much from me if you stayed," Tywin said as he approached.

"Lord Lannister, how are you, my lord?" Harry asked bending the knee.

"Oh quite well, Lord Stark how is the North?" Tywin said respectfully.

"Oh rather well, I was not aware that you knew my squire," Ned said just as respectfully.

"Knew, we all know Harry, of all the Bastard children, ever born, Harry is by far my favorite, and to be honest I think that Jon would legitimize him except he is too afraid of Lysa," Jamie said pulling Harry up and into a hug.

"For once I have to agree with my brother, Harry is a wonderful young man, which when Jon first brought him to Kings Landing I had doubted would even be possible. Catelyn I hope you are treating him well," Cersei said coldly.

"Of course my queen, though when we first took him in my sister told me you had suggested she send him to Essos," Catelyn said raising an eyebrow.

"Forgive me, but I had only meant that as a joke. Now, Robert, I heard Lord Stark introducing his children, will you introduce our children?" Cersei said pointedly.

"Of course, Stark family please meet Joffery, my oldest son and heir, he is ten having been born just weeks before I was officially named King," Robert said before Joffery punched Harry in the jaw.

"Oh look it's the bastard boy, who invited him?" Joffery asked with a sneer though he was obviously upset that Harry did not flinch when he was punched.

"I did, I decided to invade Red Keep and kill the heir of the Iron Throne so I can turn Westeros into the Grand Haven of Bastards," Harry said flatly.

"Uncle, he just threatened me, you should throw him in the dungeon and then behead him for threatening the future king," Joffery whined.

"And Jamie would know the best on how to deal with a Kingslayer as he is one himself." A small man with golden hair like Cersei and Jamie said as he walked up.

"Lord Tyrion, it has been too long, how are you doing?" Harry asked bowing to the small man as Tywin sneered at him.

"Lord Bastard, I am doing well. I recently read in an old text that at one point the Dragon Pit and Summerhall were connected. I plan to investigate one of these days, would you be interested in accompanying me?" Tyrion asked kindly.

"If my Lord would permit it, I still would love to see Summerhall where my aunt had her ashes scattered," Harry said politely.

"I see no problem with it Lord Imp, as long as we are not in a war, or that we are busy in the North. Obviously we would need a few months notice before it so he would be prepared, but otherwise, I see no problems."Ned said kindly.

"Of course Lord Stark. Harry, have you read anything of interest while in the North?" Tyrion asked now with a large smile.

"I have not had much time to read anything beyond the history of the Starks, which is very interesting, but probably nothing you would be too interested in," Harry said sheepishly.

"Well do not forget that history forgotten will indubitably repeat itself," Tyrion said before the smallest Blonde in the group walked over to Harry and sat down on the ground and looked at him as if he was trying to remember him.

"Robert, who is this little one?" Ned asked picking the child up.

"Oh this is my youngest, Tommen and he was born six years ago so he falls right between your daughters. Now before we get too caught up let us go into the castle, Harry you recall where the sparing room is correct?" Robert asked kindly.

"I do, why do you wish to see my skills?" Harry asked confused by the question.

"No, that is simply where we have deemed to have the children and youth go, for the time being, so you can get to know each other better, but also not have to be bored by us old folk talking about events that occurred before your births," Robert said simply.

"My King, I can direct the others there but my place is by the side of my Lord," Harry said calmly.

"Harry, while I appreciate your devotion to your assignment, I give you leave to be with those closer to your age, perhaps you will meet someone interesting," Ned said strongly.

"Of course my Lord, Lady Stark will your sister Lady Arryn be okay with me being in the space as her son?" Harry asked cautiously.

"Harry do not be concerned about Robin Arryn, he still is being breastfed by Lysa, and so will unlikely be in there, though I am sure your father will want to see you," Robert said rolling his eyes at the thought.

"Wait, Lysa is still breastfeeding Robin, isn't he three years old?" Catelyn asked in shock.

"Yes to both, I do not understand it myself, being as I weened Joffery off milk by the time he was a year old, and Tommen who took the longest was still weened before he was a year and a half. But she does not care to listen to me anymore." Cersei said calmly.

"Mother do you want us to take Rickon with us or will he remain with you?" Sansa asked lovingly.

"I think that he will remain with your father and me since he is still so young, next time though he will go with you," Catelyn said before the adults went towards the council rooms.

"Well look who decided to show up, the Bastard King himself and he brought some helpless fools with him." A youth with curly brown hair and brown eyes said as he saw Harry.

"Who would have left the Prince of Daises in charge of the future of the seven kingdoms?" Harry asked seeing the youth.

"Excuse me Bastard, I am the heir of House Tyrell and the second oldest person here, I am plenty responsible. If you had been around the past few years you would know that." The youth said.

"Excuse me, Harry but who are these people exactly?" Rob asked as Theon walked past and went over to the oldest girl in the room and gave her a hug.

"Oh sorry, my liege, Prince of Daisies these are Rob, Sansa, Arya, and Bran Stark along with Jon Snow the son of Lord Stark. Rob, the Prince of Daisies is Loras Tyrell, eldest son of Mace Tyrell and is 15 I believe." Harry said respectfully.

"I would have you remember that I am 17 like the other kid who came in with you's girlfriend Yara Greyjoy, she is just a few months older than me," Loras said sticking his tongue out at Harry.

"Forgive me, mighty Prince of Daisies, though I do not think that Theon considers his sister to be his girlfriend. I mean it wouldn't be unheard of but." Harry said slowly.

"Finish your sentence Bastard and when we return to Winterfell I will let the horses out on you." Theon threatened.

"Oh, did I hit a nerve, Theo? I'm sorry, at least my father did not try to take on a continent full of people with five islands worth. I just figured that since inbreeding must be common." Harry said before Yara stood up and walked up to him and punched him in the face actually lifting him off the ground.

"Look Rivers, while our father is a fool, I will not allow you to insult our mother," Yara said coldly.

"Okay Greyjoy, you win, because that punch really hurt. See Prince Joffery, that is how you throw a punch." Harry said rubbing his jaw.

"Harry, could you please continue with your introductions, please?" Rob asked glaring at him.

"Of course, sorry. So the girl in the green dress is Margaery Tyrell who is eight I believe and the Prince of Daisies younger sister, then we have Shireen Baratheon in the yellow dress, Stannis's daughter who is four I believe, if I recall correctly she was born in the middle of the naval battle during the rebellion. In the back, we have Arianne Martell who is eight, and I don't know who the two boys are so I will assume they are Lord Martell's kids, not Ser Oberyn's." Harry said cautiously towards the end while pointing out a dark-skinned girl.

"Yes Harry, these are my brothers, as much as my uncle would love to be here, I think the King would fear that he would convince all the women in Kings-landing to go to Dorne after he sleeps with them," Arianne said with a small laugh.

"How dare you insult my father, you should be put to death for daring insult the king of the Seven Kingdoms," Joffery said angrily.

"Oh quit your pouting Prince Joffery, Arianne what are your brother's names and ages?" Harry asked calmly.

"I am Quentyn Martell, heir of Dorne, and I am seven." The larger boy who was sitting by Arianne said proudly.

"Very good for you, and what of your brother?" Harry asked kindly.

"This is Trystane, and he is three," Arianne said before standing up and going and pulling Harry into a hug.

"Am I missing something here?" Jon asked confused by her actions.

"Possibly, while Harry was living here with his father, he spent a good amount of time with all of us and became our friend. So when Lord Arryn came back from the Rebellion and Harry was not with him we all feared the worst, and even though our parents assured us he was okay many of us did not fully believe it, and so seeing Harry again is a relief." Loras said simply.

"But he's a bastard," Joffery said irritably.

"And you're an ass, what's the difference?" Harry asked kindly.

"I am the prince, you will respect me," Joffery said angrily.

"Respect is earned not given Prince, I respect your father, mother, uncles, aunt, and grandfather. You, I do not respect you because you continue to use the fact that you are the Prince like its a trump all card, and so I do not respect you like I don't respect my stepmother." Harry said simply.

"Harry, I know you told uncle Tyrion you have not done much reading since before the rebellion, but could you tell us about the Great Rebellion?" Myrcella asked cautiously.

"Again I have so many questions, why would she want you to tell her about something you had no involvement in?" Jon said confused.

"Snow, right, so a bastard like Rivers?" Yara asked simply.

"Yeah, why?" Jon asked confused by the question.

"So I know that if I punch you it doesn't hurt any great house too badly. You see Snow, Lord Imp told his father that since Rivers was a bastard he needed to learn to read in case he had the opportunity to become a Maester, or since at the time Lord Arryn had no other children, he became a Lord. So with the Kings blessing, he taught Rivers how to read." Yara said before Harry rose his hand.

"If I may Lady Greyjoy," Harry said when she glared at him.

"Whatever, but I agree with the Princess you should tell one of the stories," Yara said coldly.

"Of course your grace," Harry said before getting kicked by Yara in the shins.

"Just tell the background already, before I leave you broken." Yara threatened, causing Harry to look slightly frightened.

"Of course, so as Lady Greyjoy said Tyrion Lannister started to teach me how to read when I was four. However, he was also teaching his brother, Ser Jamie, who probably because of being older struggled to grasp some of the concepts I was learning quickly. So instead of having me sit and do the same tedious tasks he assigned me to read a book that he said he had never heard or seen before called 'The ancient art of Occlumency, a means of organizing your mind.'

Flashback

"Harry, I found this book in the Red Keep's Library as I was trying to find one for you to read and it seemingly called out to me, I have never seen or heard of it before but why don't you read it and tell me if you learn anything interesting," Tyrion said as he sat Harry at a table before placing a small very weathered book in front of him.

"Okay, Lord Tyrion," Harry said before opening the book.

Well, this is interesting, my brother and I were not expecting you to be within any proximity of this book for another ten years, It appears that even with Fate not allowed to interfere as much with you this go-round he still is pulling some strings, damn him. To you, who is reading this book I am No one, and this book is capable of wonderful, and dangerous things, that is why it has been here since Aegon brought it from the collapsing city of Valaryia. This book will help you learn more about you and help you learn faster than ever and perhaps even free certain skills you never thought you had. Before you begin you must understand that only those who the book is drawn to may learn this art, no one else can. Now to begin you must begin to meditate…

End Flashback.

"Harry, Harry, Harry," Rob said shaking Harry who had suddenly fallen silent as he stared at a wall.

"Oh sorry, I must have zoned out where was I?" Harry asked blinking.

"You mentioned a book," Sansa said quietly.

"Oh yes, so the book was a history of the conquest of Westeros by Aegon Targaryen and his two wives, as written by his wife Rhaenys and it was rather explicit and probably not the best thing for a child to read," Harry said with a small smile.

"What do you mean explicit?" Joffery sneered.

"Well for a very small example, it explained the exact measurements of Aegon's cock and balls along with how much seamen he could shoot out at one time. Need I go on." Harry asked rolling his eyes.

"No, now can you actually tell a story it's getting late." Yara said coldly.

"Of course Lady Greyjoy, I suppose I shall tell a new story I recently heard, it is 100% fake, but I enjoyed it, it is about a boy named Harry Potter who lived in a world called Earth, in a land called England one of the most powerful kingdoms in the world's history, and he was special because he was a wizard…" Harry said before retelling the experiences of his first year in his former life, not that he knew it was from a former life, he just believes he had read it somewhere and so also made an inner commitment to find the book where the story was written.

A week later.

"Well we shall be going, thank you, Robert, for hosting this event. It has been an enjoyable time being able to spend time with old friends and allies, and former enemies who hopefully will not return to being foes anytime soon." Ned said with a smile as Harry helped Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Catelyn into the Coach.

"I agree, I was shocked by how well behaved your children were, but then seeing as they are living with Harry it is not too surprising," Robert said with a smile.

"You truly think very highly of him don't you?" Ned asked still shocked by this knowledge.

"Oh most definitely, the only problem I have with him is his never-ending insults to my son and heir," Robert said before Jon Arryn came over.

"Oh good, I caught you before you left. I have a parcel for my son that I figured would be easier to give him in person then send it." Jon said handing Ned a small package who tossed it to Harry who caught it after having to hit it a few times to avoid dropping it, in part because it was much heavier than he had thought it would be.

"What is this if I might ask?" Harry asked confused.

"Just a gift, from me. Open it when you return home." Jon said with a smile.

"Of course father, stay safe and don't let Lysa drive you too crazy," Harry said with a grin.

"Of course. Safe travels." Jon said as Ned and Harry got on their horses and started off back to the North.

"Your son, even though he is a bastard, would make a fine Lord. Perhaps I will get him and my daughter together." Robert said to Jon once the Starks were a ways off.

"You won't be the only one I'm sure, I wouldn't even be surprised if Tywin signs an annulment between you and Cersei so he could offer her to him, I know Balon, Mace, Stannis, and Doran all are considering the same thing, though Balon hates Harry a bit due to him killing his nephew, when he boarded our boat with plans to kill either myself or Ned," Jon said with a smile.

"I know, but if he married my daughter he would be closer to becoming king," Robert said with a smile.

"Or perhaps he will find and marry one of the Targaryens who got away and come back and burn the Baratheons to death for usurping the throne from them. Who knows, but I feel he will make the best decision, he is a smart boy." Jon said before walking away leaving Robert with his thoughts.
