Summary: After 7 years of isolation by the Dursleys Harry Potter gave up all forms of communication. He was content with his small cupboard until two beings came into his life. Jack Frost and Pitch Black, two completely different beings who paired to help the young boy regain his lost trust in humanity. (Bad Summary I Know). Rated M for language and other things that I will add spur of the moment. I'll try to keep it as friendly as I can but no promises.
A/N: This is another ridiculous idea I had now that I am sort of back in the groove with many of my previous projects either being dumped or completed. I will gradually update more but for now I want to get this out to say I am back and will be posting a bit more. P.S, I kind of lost my writing touch so I will be a bit out of whack. If you like this then tell me. P.P.S. I might take DZ2's idea of posting a story for future stories I might write. I hope he doesn't mind. As always, Reviews are always appreciated and I hope you enjoy this new idea. BTW this is prior to the events of The Rise of the Guardians; therefore the events didn't take place. Btw I might switch POVs at certain intervals so please bear with me.
Prologue: Ice and Shadows
Jack's POV:
Immortality was a Bitch, to watch the world pass you by as you sat in the corner unable to be a part of what was once your home. My name… Nope, still don't remember and if you ask me I could say I care less. But if you need a name for me, my name is Jack, Jack Frost. It's been over 300 years sense I had any sort of contact and to be honest, it's getting kind of lonely honestly. Imagine floating around the world for the last 3 centuries without any sort of contact and you can get the picture. Yea, I can be considered insane, Aren't we all, but that was the only thing that kept me from isolating myself in a cave somewhere for the rest of my eternal life.
So far, I've learned 13 Different languages and watched the world's market places so much that I can predict them. I've sat through every possible lecture through the world and learned everything I could do with my time up until now. But today found me sitting outside a house watching a small family in the comforts of their home. The man and woman were cuddling over a baby. The man had inky black hair and glasses while the woman had intense green eyes and flaming red hair. The baby was a combination of both with jet black hair as well as intense emerald eyes.
Watching the family, I felt a sense of sadness force its way into my mind. Why was I like this instead of with a family? I had been pondering this throughout my whole existence, when I woke up that day; I had no idea of where I came from or who I was. Insane right, but anyway, looking at the family with jealousy I noticed the baby turn his eyes from his family and looked out the window, right at me! Shock echoed onto my face as I looked around, surely he wasn't looking at me, when people many times his age hadn't even bat an eye at my presence.
Watching the baby giggle, I was shocked when he pointed at me and giggled loudly alerting his parents. Watching them turn to the window in alarm. Their eyes passed over me sadly as my hopes faded into the crisp windy night. Sighing, I floated away ignoring the shadowed figure approaching the house as I vanished into the night.
Pitch's POV
Jack Frost…. A strange being in my mind yet, why was I so attracted to him. Was it that we were similar, I wanted to comfort him but I couldn't allow myself to succumb to such emotions. Watching from the shadows as he flew away, I sighed and stalked over to the house watching the scene, a man radiating power was making his way towards the house. For some reason this house called to me much like the young Frost boy did. After a strange occurrence a few years back my powers collapsed on my form. After a year of sleep in a power induced coma, I woke up to a much younger form yet an influx of power and control over my domain. But, along with it came this longing in my being, I wish I knew what it was?
Ignoring this feeling, I walked towards the window watching the scene unfold. Feeling the fear radiating through the house I smiled sadistically, hey I couldn't help it. Fear was my opium and it was like a five star feast. Cursing my smaller form, I stalked into the building watching the young boy stare at the taller male who was holding a sort of stick out to him. Curiosity filled my vacant form. Watching with interest, a bright green light rushed towards the child only to rock the foundation of the house as the same green light ricochet from the baby and hit the man in the chest vaporizing him in an instant and blowing away half the side of the building much to my amusement. Walking over to the child, I scanned over him noting the dark power pulsing from his forehead and a lightning bolt shaped scar.
Watching him, I was extremely surprised when he looked right into my eyes and smiled. Taking a step back, I heard a slight popping noise and sunk into the shadows watching as an old man stepped into the doorway and walked over to the child. Watching the old man, I noticed him hold out a similar stick towards the child who began crying in pain. A growl formed in my chest as I went to tackle the old man only to pass through him. Anger filled me as he smiled darkly and vanished into the night leaving the poor child alone. A feeling of protection entered my entire being as I wrapped the shadows around the mysterious boy watching as he was lulled to sleep by the lingering darkness. Hearing slight movement behind me, I turned spotting the Jack Frost boy.
My mind shifted from its overprotective mode as I stood up and sneered. "Jack Frost… What a pleasant surprise." Inside I was going through turmoil of emotions, we had met on many separate occasions, and each one ending in the complete loathing of the other, the fight was devoid from me this time though. This boy, this teen, didn't seem as annoying to look at as the other times. "Pitch, The boy, I seen you've taken notice of him. Wonder what an old hag like you would want." A cocky grin appeared on the pale boys face. "Though, you seem less old than before. Not as unpleasant as last time." Ignoring the jab, I looked down at the boy as I said. "He lost both his parents on the same night. I feel like his life is going to make ours look like a walk in the park." Feeling the chilly teen walk up beside me, I sensed his agreement before looking up at the sky." The moon shines bright tonight Frost, I may have a lack of a heart but I feel as though the man above has given us a duty. If you wish to accept my proposal from before…" I left the topic hanging. I really didn't want to work so closely with the frost boy but this child… he made the loneliness seem obsolete. I know Frost is also suffering from the loneliness so maybe this child could be our escape. Turning from the moon, I looked at Frost who seemed deep in thought. Scanning his pale features, I couldn't help but admire the teen as he glanced at me with his icy blue eyes. Nodding, He held out his hand in a silent agreement to which I shook with determination. Maybe this was my chance to escape the isolation eternity has brought….
A/N: So, How was the first chapter, you like the prologue? Don't worry, if you all like the story then I will post more but for now this is all I am going to reveal. If you guys think the plot is to confusing then let me know so I can improve it but for now. Here's the first chapter. Chao! By the way, thanks to the power boost, Pitch can use the powers he shown in the movies. I know it seems cheesy but I kinda liked his powers with the dark sand.
