Chronicles of the Dogma
ESKK: Ok here we are the first ever White Knight Chronicles Harry Potter crossover fanfiction. Now then let us enjoy it. Now the chapters will be separated into Arc's or ACT's as it were. The First Act is to basically introduce the main lore and characters as it will begin during Prisoner of Azkaban which I intend to make into something beneficial for us all. I had also changed a few lore thing after taking the Dragon Sight of Ceasers into consideration. Now then my faithful readers let's begin the first chapter of the first act.
ACT 1: Awakening the Knights
(Start)
As Harry arrived at the door to the chamber of secrets... he nay an idea what he may face in there. He knew the monster was a snake like monster a Basilisk to be exact that can kill with but a glare of its eyes. As Harry walked to the door he began to speak the Parsletongue as his voice exited with hissing like sounds.
But as he did this he began to do this his mind wandered to the events leading him here. He had come here to save Ginny Ron's younger sister as lately she's been acting off in his opinion. When these attacks had begun Harry was the first to discover one of the victims. Luckily Ron and Hermione managed to explain how it was a coincidence how he got there. As the year progressed Harry knew things would change as what really got the ball rolling was him learning he could speak to snakes and thus being ousted as the heir and attacker thus the people who all but worshiped him turning on him.
Harry hated it but he was hurt when Ron all but turned on him on that. But he was grateful that Hermione stayed by his side during this. But as the year progressed Harry grew more concerned as these attacks kept happening. He was grateful Dumbledore believed it wasn't him and even more so when Hagrid tried to explain why it wasn't Harry who did it. Ron of course eventually came to his sense about this but when Hermione got petrified... whoever the attacker was crossed a line for him. Plus after Harry and Ron visited Hagrid's old pet spider Arragog who tried to eat them they had no way of doing this without Hermione… but somehow Hermione figured out what the monster was and had torn a page out of a book on it.
It was a Basilisk as it made sense for them all. If only the Heir of Slytherin could control the Basilisk then being as Salazar was a Parselmouth it made sense that it had to be a snake based monster. The pieces all fell into place and in turn Harry and Ron went on the hunt... or at least they tried to. When the Professors were making Lockhart go after the monster after a recent attack Harry and Ron found him packing his bags and belongings and learning he was a blasted fraud. So in turn they held him at wand point and basically dragged him to the chamber of secrets. They located it where Myrtle had died because they also learned that she was one of its victims upon death and in turn put the final piece together save for whoever the heir of Slytherin was.
It lead up to a cave in caused by Ron's wand when Lockhart tried to erase their memories of the entire thing which luckily Ron's wand was broken and instead Lockhart erased his own memories. The cave in trapped Ron and Lockhart on one side leaving Harry to face this creature alone and thus here he was. As he spoke the tongue of snakes he saw the door opening with a snake circling around it undoing each lock it came upon. It then slowly began to creak open as Harry in turn ran in. But upon entering he was shocked at what he saw. The room was clearly what he sought snake statues located about with the large head of Salazar himself at the back. It was wet and moist here no doubt due to its location among the pipes of Hogwarts. But what Harry saw at the end was the student in question and with her was a large slab of stone.
On the Stone to his shock was a giant armor of sorts chained to it. Harry saw whoever had put it here made it so it was near impossible to break. Harry was shocked at it wondering if it was the monster at first before remembering the page. So if the Basilisk was here then why was this suit of armor here as well? Harry quickly banished the thought and ran over to the student and as he suspected it was Ginny which put him in a panic.
"Ginny! Ginny please don't be dead!" Harry begged as he kneeled down next to her trying his hardest to awaken her. "Wake up! Wake up!" He begged trying to awaken Ginny unaware of a shadow moving and a figure walking out of the shadows. "Please wake up." Harry begged unaware of the ghostly figure approaching who was slowly gaining physical form but then stopped.
"She won't wake." A voice spoke catching Harry's attention. As Harry looked he was surprised to see a familiar face that he remembered seeing when Tom Riddle's diary showed him the memories of Hagrid and his spider.
"Tom... Tom Riddle." Harry said as he realized who it was instantly as he could never forget the information of how this man 'caught,' Hagrid who was innocent of the murder of Myrtle.
"Wait what do you mean she won't awake?" Harry asked as that was cause for concern. "She's not..." Harry trailed off to which Tom cut him off.
"She's still alive but only just." Tom said arriving to where Harry and Ginny were.
"Are you... a ghost?" Harry asked as Tom began making his way torts them.
"In a sense." Tom began as he looked down to Harry. "A memory preserved in a diary for 50 years." Tom explained while looking to Harry.
Harry then felt her wrist and was shocked at what he felt. "She's as cold as ice." Harry noted as he then tried to awaken her again. "Ginny please don't be dead." Harry begged trying to awaken her unaware of what Tom was doing as he picked up Harry's wand ever so silently. "You've got to help me Tom theirs' a Basilisk." Harry warned as he looked to Tom who oddly enough seemed quite calm about this.
"It won't come until it's called." Tom corrected as this caused a sinking feeling to enter Harry.
Harry looked and saw Tom was holding his wand to which Harry stood up and held his hand out. "Give me my wand, Tom." Harry asked as he looked to Tom.
"Why? You won't be needing it." Tom said to which the dark feeling got worse for Harry.
"Listen we got to go! We got to save her!" Harry urged Tom to which Tom gained a sinister smirk.
"I'm afraid I can't do that Harry. You see as poor Ginny grows weaker I grow stronger." Tom said to which Harry was wide eyed in response. "Yes Harry it was Ginny Weasley who opened the Chamber of Secrets." Tom said to which Harry didn't believe it.
"Now she couldn't she would." Harry reasoned as he knew Ginny didn't have his ability.
"It was Ginny who set the Basilisk on the mudbloods and Filtch's cat. Ginny who wrote the threatening messages on the walls." Tom told to which Harry couldn't make sense of it.
"Why?" Harry asked not seeing the logic as Ginny wasn't the sort of girl to do such horrific things.
"Because I told her to." Tom said making Harry go wide eyed to this. "You can find that I can be very persuasive." Tom said as the tone he used at the end showed he forced it upon Ginny. "Not that she knew what she was doing. She was in a can we say trance." Tom began explaining as now the pieces were falling into place. "But still the power of the Diary scared her so she tried to dispose of it in the Girls bathroom and then who should find it but you?" Tom said as he began to walk around Harry as the Boy-Who-Lived glared back at him. "The person I was most anxious to meet." Tom said as the tone he used showed he may have some grudge against Harry.
"But why did you want to meet me?" Harry asked glaring at Tom straight in the eyes.
"I knew I had to talk to you. To meet you if I could. So I decided to show you my capture of that brainless oaf Hagrid to gain your trust." Tom said to which got a rise out of Harry.
"Hagrid's my friend!" Harry roared at Tom but then realized what this was. "And you framed him didn't you?" Harry asked but already knew the answer to.
"It was my word against Hagrid's." Tom said but wasn't done. "Only Dumbledore seemed to think he was innocent." Tom said to which Harry smirked at a response he had.
"But her saw right through you." Harry said as the two stood before the chained White Knight while glaring at each other.
"He certainly kept an annoyingly close watch on me after that!" Tom argued as he glared at Harry. "I knew it wouldn't be safe to open the chamber again while I was still at school and hopefully discover what secrets this suit of armor held." Tom said as he gestured to the White Knight. "So I decided to leave behind a diary preserving my 16 year old self so that one day I would be able to lead another to finish Salazar Slytherin's noble work." Tom said to which Harry knew exactly what it was... to purge all those who weren't pure of blood from Hogwarts.
"Well you haven't finished it this time. In a few hours the mandrake draft will be ready and everyone who was petrified will be alright again." Harry said glaring at Tom realizing this was all Tom's doing as it was 50 years ago as well.
"I don't think I mentioned this but killing mudbloods doesn't matter to me anymore." Tom said to which Harry was surprised by this one. "For many months now my new target had been you." Tom said surprising Harry but the scar headed boy refused to show it. "How is it that a baby with now extraordinary magical talent was able to defeat the greatest wizard of all time? How did you escape with nothing but a scar while Lord Voldemort's powers were destroyed?" Tom said while he moved Harry's hair with his wand to show the scar in question.
"Why do you care how I escaped? Voldemort was after your time." Harry said not realizing that what he just said was the key word so to speak.
"Voldemort... is my past, present, and future." Tom said to which he began using Harry's wand to write down his own name in flames all in capital letters. Soon the name Tom Marvolo Riddle was written out all in capital letters before Tom proceeded to swipe Harry's wand across it causing the letters to change and reorganize till it spelled something new.
"You." Harry said wide eyed at what it said as he then looked to Tom. "You're the heir of Slytherin." Harry said as the words spelled a new phrase. "You're Voldemort." Harry said as the words before they had vanished spelled out 'I am Lord Voldemort,' all the while Tom turned to Harry and glared at him.
"Surely you didn't think I was going to keep my filthy muggle fathers name." Tom growled showing his hatred and distaste for his father. "No fashioned myself a new name. A name I knew that everywhere one day people will fear to speak when I became the Greatest Sorcerer in the world." Tom said while he monologue on his apparent oncoming victory but Harry disagreed on that one.
"Albus Dumbledore is the greatest sorcerer in the world!" Harry argued as he glared at Tom.
"Albus Dumbledore has been driven out of this castle by the mere memory of me." Tom argued but that was a lie and Harry knew it as much.
"Dumbledore will never be gone not so long as those who remain are loyal to him!" Harry argued as he had a great respect for Dumbledore.
The two then heard the sound of a Phoenix as the two looked and in turn saw Fawkes flying in carrying something on his person. "Fawkes?" Harry asked seeing the phoenix fly in before dropping something to Harry who caught it with ease before Fawkes flew off.
Harry began to unroll the item just as Tom saw this and both saw that it was the Sorting Hat surprisingly enough. Tom of course smirked and scoffed at what was sent and knew Harry was dead meat. "So this is what Dumbledore sends his great defender a song bird and an old hat." Tom said unaware he was underestimating the gamble Dumbledore was making. In fact some would even say Dumbledore was underestimating his own gamble as something within the Sorting hat began to stir as if drawn forth from an age old sleep.
Tom turns to the stone face where the basilisk rest as he held out his hand as he spoken in Parseltongue where Harry could hear what he said clearly as Tome spoken, "Serpent, come out to help me!"
Soon enough the stone mouth soon started to open as Harry turn and saw the mouth open as he look to Tom as he said to the Boy who lived, "Let's match the power of lord Voldemort, heir of Salazar Slytherin against the famous 'Harry Potter'."
Harry felt a dark present coming forth as he saw the basilisk as he soon started running, unaware the eyes of the suit of armor follow him, feeling the danger he was in and the power that lies within him as its eyes flash a bit to life before dying out.
As a light came forth from the hat that was still in Harry's hand as he ran for it as he didn't see the light as Tom spoken again as the basilisk came slithering out from the stone face mouth and over the water the head stood above as it look at tom for a moment as it hears Tom command before turning to Harry and chase him as Tom said, "Parseltongue won't save you now Potter, it only listen to me!"
The huge snake roar as it chase harry down to kill him as Harry ran for the exit, but trip on a very slippery spot as he fell barely keeping his glasses on, with the hat fallen from his grip, and something else that came from it as Harry saw the thing in question as he saw a dagger sticking out as he wonder what it meant as he saw it coming out of the hat knowing it wasn't there before and saw something attach to it on its hilt.
Before he could grab at it, he hears the Basilisk was on top of him as he duck his head waiting for the end, until the sound of Fawkes was flying in as the snake was stop as the phoenix was in its face and tearing it eyes apart as it cry out in pain as harry saw the shadow and turn around quickly as he saw the fire bird saved his life.
While that happens as Harry turn back to the hat with the Dagger still sticking out of it as he quickly grab the dagger in hand as he hears Tom yell out, "NO!"
Harry stood up as he took the thing attach to the dagger as he saw it was a note, written in old English as he read enough to know what it says as he reads to himself as an old voice spoken while he read, 'If thou our worthy put me on and test thyself, Pass and I shall grant to thee all my power.'
Turning the scene to Tom as he look down at Harry as he said, "Your bird may have blinded the Basilisk, but it can still hear you!"
Fawkes once he finished began to fly off as Harry held the gauntlet and dagger in his hands trying to figure out what to do. He began to step back in fear but also carefully knowing it was blinded. Harry then hear cracking sounds to which he looked down and realized he made a sound. The Basilisk heard this as Harry was now officially scared. But before he could respond he felt a pulse from the gauntlet and to his shock it resonated silently to the chained up armor.
Harry then dodged the Basilisk trying to chomp down on him as Harry then did the only thing he could think of besides running for it. He put the gauntlet on and knocked the Basilisk back with a burst of powerful yet ancient magic. Tom was wide eyed as the Basilisk was unable to penetrate the magic.
"What?!" He roared in shock but then to his further shock the Basilisk despite being blinded made its way back to the armor and coiled its body around it almost to defend it. "Don't do that attack!" He roared but then the Basilisk had its own response.
"Your orders Heir are second to Salazar himself. I am to defend and ensure none may possess this armor... not even you." The Basilisk responded shocking Tom at how it defied him so easily on orders of Salazar himself. Was something about this armor frightening to even the great Salazar Slytherin that he would deny his heirs the Basilisks loyalty to ensure none may use it.
For now he had to wait and see what happens.
(With Harry unknown location)
Harry opened his eyes after the light died down enough for him to see as he noticed the area he was in. It was a stone platform within a void of sorts. Here Harry noticed floating ruins scattered about as he tried to make sense of this. "Where am I? What happened?" Harry asked trying to make sense of this.
But then a new voice was heard as Harry was shocked by it. "O thee who wouldst wield my pow'r." A voice spoke shocking Harry before he got on the defensive.
"Whose there?" Harry asked as he got worried he made a mistake before going wide eyed with a gasp at what floated before him.
It was a creature a phantom of sorts as it had no other way to describe it. Half of its body was gone showing an orange glow where its heart was and a large blue ball where its left eye was. Though it may appear to be missing the two halves suggested they were symmetrical while Harry noted that it had a similar appearance to the chained armor from the Chamber of Secrets. "O thee who wouldst wield my pow'r." The creature repeated but had more to add this time. "Draw thy blade. Now is the time to prove thyself worthy." The phantom said before going for the attack.
Harry wide eyed dodged it just in time to avoid being skewered by a summoned weapon of this phantom. It then summoned a large sword and slashed at Harry only for the Boy-Who-Lived to dodge again.
Harry stepped back as the Phantom noted Harry was unarmed. The boy needed a means to defend himself thus he snapped his fingers causing a sword to appear in Harry's hand.
"What?!" Harry asked in shock seeing the sword oy to somehow block an attack with the sword as he then avoided it and attacked as well. The blow hit as the Phantoms seemed to enjoy this.
"Yes show me thou art worthy." The phantom edged on wanting to see what Harry can do and to see if he was truly worthy of a pact.
"Worthy of what?!" Harry asked trying to make sense of this apparent test.
The phantom didn't say anything to Harry's respond, as the only thing it did was attack with the sword in its hand as Harry dodge it and slash the sword he was given as it hit the directly against the phantom, but no damage was done to it but to the look on it, it felt the slash as Harry look to the sword itself as he saw something strange about it as he saw a name carved into the sword itself, but didn't get a chance to read it as he quickly saw the Phantom coming at him as he dodge it by rolling to the side.
Harry didn't know what he should be doing but, he is given a fighting chance, if he can still stand on his feet and live to breath, he will fight, as harry charge it as the phantom saw him coming as the two raise their sword to each other as harry swing the sword across at the phantom, as the it did the same, the swords clashes loudly.
Harry wasn't given up just yet as he push off the huge sword and swing the sword at the phantom once more gotten another hit in as it back away as harry heard its breathing hard, he knew it was getting hurt, as he keep going as he use the sword in his hand to attack again, as they parry and deadlock with each other a few time with harry give a cry as he swing his sword as hard as he can at the phantom as it did the same, and when their blade clash once more-
*CRACK BREAK!
The sword of the phantom shattered as it left the phantom wide open as harry pull back on the sword before thrusting outwards towards the phantom and stab him in the chest as the Phantom gasp to that.
Harry breath hard to that as the sword in his hand glows and turn into an orb as it pass into Harry as he felt breathless after that as he drop down to his knees, with the phantom still floating in the air as it said to him, "O Thee who standeth and liveth before my blade. Thou art worthy of a pact."
The phantom bow before Harry as he asked, "A pact?"
"You are my master, as Thou bested Ye In combat, art the worthy to wield my pow'r, to thee, all of my pow'r I bequeath" The phantom said as it began to face with a magical aura around him came forth and went towards Harry as he felt the power enter his body as he felt it, as amazing it was, it was something else he never thought possible, as a imageless thought came to him as chant is hear echoing in his mind, as his mind began to come back to reality.
(In the chamber)
As Tom look towards Harry as the Power that came forth from him vanish, but not gone, the gauntlet on his arm shine through the darkness if the Chamber as Harry look towards the snake as he began to say, "O Wizel, white warrior, wielder of the ancient sword..."
"Stop him!" Tom order the Basilisk as the huge snake roar out at him as he is unable to do anything, even though he had a physical form, his magic has yet to fully return, thus has no way of casing a complete spell.
Harry held up the dagger as he said, "Grant me you're Power!" Soon taking the dagger and flip it in a reverse grip, as he stab it into the gauntlet as it glow, Harry held it up before him as he said the word, "Verto!"
Suddenly the shield part of the gauntlet open up and the chest inside glows, with a magic circle coming forth and flip around as the chest on it glows brightly as a magical circle appeared below harry, with the armor on the chain as the Basilisk try to keep hold on it, but the armor flew away off the chains and out of its grip as the armor appears behind Harry as it moves the way Harry moves.
As Harry being glows brightly as it enter into the armor as he has become one with the armor now as it shine brightly as the armor looked revived as it glow white, The White Knight has return.
As Tom look towards the armor as he said, "Even after 50 years, trying to find a way to make to move before, try to bend it to my will it does not respond, but to him... why him?"
The eyes of the white knight spark to life as it flash blue color as the knight ready itself for battle as the Basilisk came forth in front of knight as it roar out, as blind as it was, it can sense the power before it and soon was going to finish its duty given by Salazar Slytherin himself.
The white knight drew its magical sword as it glow in a brought light before it fade to show the sword became real as the Basilisk roar out and charged at the White knight as it slash at the huge snake, giving it a cut at its head as it roar in pain while reeling itself back as it shake its head before coming at the knight again as it block the strike with the blunt side of his blade before pushing it off.
It rise its sword and cut down at the Basilisk cutting the snake head off as it feel down, with the body of the snake itself wiggle around, similar to a chicken with its head cut off, its body move around before slowing dying down and lay dead on the ground.
Tom gotten angry at this, the great weapon of Salazar Slytherin now dead and the armor he was desire to control 50 years ago, was in the hand of the his most hated enemy, Harry Potter. As the knight step pass the Basilisk standing before Tom and the Ginny who lay on the ground still, as the white knight kneel down, as it vanish in a light with harry emerging from it as he looked out of breath.
The suit of armor took a lot out of him than he would have thought , as he slowly made his way to Ginny with the gauntlet still on his arm with the dagger in it as he drops down to his knees and as Tom walks up as he still will have one thing over Harry as he began to say, "You may have defeated the Basilisk… but it won't slow down my resurrection, as when miss Ginny Wesley dies, I shall be alive once more… and I will kill you and take that armor for myself."
Harry look towards Tom as he had an upset look on his face, as he knew something in his heart what he must do as he taken the dairy in Ginny arms and flip it open as Tom saw this as he asked, "What are you doing?"
Harry grab the dagger in the Gauntlet holding it in the reverse grip as he look up at Tom as his eyes widen in fear as he said while reaching out to him, "Stop. NO!"
Harry stab the dagger down into one side of the Dairy, as black ink that was absorb in it came squirting out from it as Tom reel back as a light shine out from his chest as his face fill with pain, and anger as he came at Harry again, as he pull the dagger out and stab it into the other side as more ink came forth, and the light in time chest became brighter and widen, as well another hole appeared on his face as light came forth from it as well,
With his body was now being destroy as the magic left the body, Harry pull the dagger out again as he look towards Tom seeing him still alive, if barely, as Harry turn back to the dairy once more, and flip it close to face the cover of it before stabbing the dagger into the Dairy, clean through as more ink came forth, with all the memory of tom that were in the diary is being destroy.
Tom body was looking like Swiss cheese as many holes appeared in his body as a light from it shine froth before he exploded to dust.
Harry felt the backlash from that as he took a breath calming down a bit, as he drop his hand with the dagger and the gauntlet soon vanish as it glows slightly before disappearing, soon Ginny gasp to life as she blink and wonder where she is at.
"Did... I do this?" Harry wondered as he saw the damage he and the Basilisk did.
"Master." Wizel was heard as Harry figured that was the Phantoms name. "Thou art losing consciousness ye must take thy leave with the maiden upon the Phoenix if thy desires medical attention." Wizel urged but sounded as if he was preoccupied with something.
"Ginny." Harry greeted as Ginny saw him.
"Harry it was me but I swear I didn't mean to. Riddle made me and..." Ginny began but Harry cut her off.
"I know I already know." Harry said before Ginny looked and yelped as she saw the Basilisk's decapitated head.
"Harry did you?" She trailed off as Harry looked to t hi is.
"I think I did." Harry said as he felt weak. "Ginny we need to get out of here we need to follow the chamber to find Ron." Harry said before Fawkes was heard again as he flew in again and landed with ease and looked to Harry. Fawkes looked to Harry's left arm and knew Harry had a new power within and an ancient one at that. Fawkes then nuzzled up to Harry to which Harry smiled and pet the fore bird.
"You were brilliant Fawkes... but can you do me one more favor?" Harry asked to which Fawkes agreed regardless. Fawkes then caught Harry before he could fully pass out to which Ginny saw Harry was asleep right now. No doubt the whole ordeal had taken much out of him. Ginny sighed in relief unaware that Harry had gained a powerful new ally but with it many enemies.
Of course Fawkes did what Harry wanted and took both of them as he began to carry them out the chamber while picking up Ron and Lockhart.
(Scene Break Abyss)
Harry woke up back here and saw Wizel floating there as the Phantom was containing a black thing inside a mystical ball before speaking. "My master it was of most good fortune ye hath lost consciousness when the phoenix arrived. Upon forging our pact I had detected this leach upon thy soul and had in turn contained it to be dealt with at your discretion." Wizel said keeping the creature in the ball contained as it struggled to get out.
"What is it?" Harry asked as he looked at it in confusion.
"The same as the fragment ye had bested within the diary." Wizel said as Harry was wide eyed.
"Voldemort?!" Harry gasped to which Wizel nodded.
"Shall I remove it?" Wizel asked as he looked upon Harry.
"I... how did it get inside me?" Harry asked worried about this.
"I know not but perhaps someone does." Wizel offered as Harry knew exactly who knew.
"I need to wake up can you do this?" Harry asked to which Wizel nodded.
"I is already done awaken now." Wizel said as Harry once more blacked out.
(Scene Break)
Harry woke up in the hospital wing as he was wide eyed and grabbed his glasses. As he looked around he saw the mandrakes were all done as he looked to his left hand before he thought of Wizel for a moment wondering if it had been a dream. But then the gauntlet appeared on his arm surprising Harry as he quickly hid it in fear. But instead he felt his arm and realized he could summon it at will.
"Master if ye wishes to speak with thy headmaster I suggest ye move thine feet soon." Wizel urged to which Harry had to wait for now.
"Just be quiet till then." Harry said as he felt weird having something call him Master like that.
Harry then looked over to Hermione as the potions was being given to her to which he smiled happy to see she will be ok. But unaware to Harry the minute the Ark and Knight left the Chamber its power was felt everywhere.
(Meanwhile hidden Location)
Unaware to many in Hogwarts they were being observed as the group observing them ranged from different walks of life. One was an elf who was missing an eye as unlike the house elves this one was a true born elf. Next was a hidden young man wearing a mask of sorts dressed in a duster while he observed, following him up was a pudgy little man who all surrounded a young man in the desk.
"So the Knight has chosen him... how odd he, a boy a child, is the Knights Pactmaker and manages to control it so well. This may put a kink in our plans." The pudgy man said as he saw the image on a crystal ball of sorts.
"I would call this much more than a kink." The masked figure said as a snake slithered up his arm and rested around him.
"He's not bad but we can get the Ark in due course." The pudgy man said before the leader spoke up.
"Enough." He said as he stood up. "We will need to pull some cards and favors... let's show this boy so long as he wields the Knights Ark nowhere is safe to hide in." He said as they knew where he studied... so they needed to know where he lived.
"General." The leader spoke up looking to his General. "It is to you I trust to retrieve the Knight when his home is located." He said to as the General nodded in turn. It would take time but luckily they had resources to cut that time in half.
"Now let us see of this boy has the steel for his legend." The man said hidden in shadows as he graze Jo's hand on a book with the same Crest the White Knight has.
(Back at Hogwarts Dumbledore's office)
Harry and Ron were gathered in the returned Dumbledore's office as they looked down with a guilty look as they were of course caught with what they did last night. "You both realize of course in the past few hours you have broken about a dozen school rules." Dumbledore said as he looked at the trio.
"Yes sir." They all said as they knew they were in trouble big time.
"There is also sufficient evidence to have you three expelled!" He scolded as the three then looked to each other.
"Yes sir." They repeated as after last night nothing can be a worse punishment for Harry
"Therefore it is only fitting that you both receive… special rewards for services to the school." Dumbledore said as the duo smiled at this while Wizel grew intrigued at this and paid attention.
"Thank you sir." Ron said before Dumbledore stood up and brought a letter over to Ron.
"Now Mr. Weasley if you would have an owl deliver these release papers to Azkaban." Dumbledore began as he handed the papers to Ron. "I believe we may want our game keeper back." Dumbledore said as Ron nodded and made his way to the Owlary to have an Owl deliver the letters.
Once Ron was gone Dumbledore looked to Harry who of course looked back to him. "Harry… first I want to thank you, Harry. You must have shown real loyalty down in the chamber nothing but that would have called Fawkes to you." Dumbledore said while gesturing to the Fawkes as Harry saw the Phoenix was once more fully grown to adulthood. "And second... I sense something is troubling you both. Am I right?" Dumbledore said as Harry looked to the wise old Hogwarts Headmaster.
Suddenly, something that was nagging at Harry came tumbling out of his mouth. "Professor Dumbledore... see I couldn't help but notice certain things certain strange likenesses and similarities between Tom Riddle and I." Harry said as he looked to Dumbledore no doubt desiring to get to the subject of the Knight after dealing with this subject.
"I see." Dumbledore said as he looked to Harry while Wizel paid close attention to this. "Well you can speak Parseltongue Harry why?" Dumbledore asked looking to Harry who looked confused. "It's because Lord Voldemort could speak Parseltongue." Dumbledore spoke but he wasn't done. "If I'm not mistaken he transferred some of his powers over to you the night he gave you that scar." Dumbledore said as Harry listened as the words Wizel spoke was making sense now.
"Voldemort transferred some of his powers... to me?" Harry asked shocked to hear this before the headmaster nodded.
"Not intentionally but yes." Dumbledore said but Harry wasn't done.
"So the sorting hat was right I should be in Slytherin." Harry said realizing the Sorting Hat was right or at least he thought it was right.
"Its true Harry you possess many of the qualities Voldemort himself prizes." Dumbledore said as this brought Harry's mood down a bit. "Determination, resourcefulness, and if I must say so a certain disregard for the rules." Dumbledore listed off with the rule part coming off as playful. "Why then would the sorting Hat place you in Gryffindor?" Dumbledore said gesturing to the hat in question.
Harry looked as did Wizel and knew his Ark was once hidden there but now was in his new master's possession. "Because I asked it to." Harry said not fully understanding where Dumbledore was going with this.
"Exactly Harry, Exactly." Dumbledore said looking to Harry seeing he was on the right path. "It is what makes you different from Voldemort. It is not our abilities that show what we truly are but our choices." Dumbledore said to which Harry smiled and nodded to Dumbledore. "If you want proof of where you belong in Gryffindor then I suggest call the blade that had aided you within the chamber and look closely upon the blade." Dumbledore said surprising Harry to no end.
"The sword?" Harry asked remembering how he was granted a sword by Wizel during the trial to receive his power. Harry focused and then felt a familiar handle enter his grip and looked and saw the blade in question. Harry then looked at the sword and saw what was engraved upon the sword. "Godric Gryffindor." Harry said realizing what this meant.
"It takes a true Gryffindor to pull that out of the hat and an even greater one to summon and earn its allegiance." Dumbledore said revealing the Sword of Gryffindor had a certain sentience to it.
"Sir... there is more." Harry said to which he then focused and to Dumbledore's amazement the sword was replaced by a dagger and upon Harry's left arm was the white gauntlet of the White Knights Ark. "In the Chamber I had pulled this out of the hat... there was a letter with it that I lost but it basically told me if I put it on and passed its judgement I would receive a power to fight the Basilisk." Harry began before vanishing the item. "The fact I lived meant I passed and I was able to summon a suit of armor a large one the face the Basilisk Eye to Eye." Harry explained as he told his part of the story in depth.
"When I lost consciousness I Was met with the spirit who inhabits the Ark and armor and it told me it contained something dark that was leaching off of me, he told me it can be removed but I want to know what it is first... Professor was more than just a part of Voldemort's power transferred to me?" Harry asked surprising Dumbledore to no end.
"My boy... I had hoped to hide this from you at least until I either found a way to remove it without harming you or until you were old enough to understand." Dumbledore said as he was surprised this Phantom could do the task if it managed to contain the fragment so easily.
"To remove what?" Harry asked to which Dumbledore knew if this Phantom can due the task then the Prophesy would effectively be null and voided since Harry would no longer have Voldemort's soul fragment inside him.
"Harry... the night Voldemort attacked and gave you that scar... his spell rebounded off you since the spell was said to be impossible to stop leaving you with a scar and the tittle as the 'boy-who-lived,' I omitted a truth from you Voldemort left more than some of his power in you." Dumbledore said as Harry heard this. "I fear... he had created something of the darkest form called a Horcrux and he had intended to use your death to create another one seeing as one must undergo a ritual and perform an act of murder to create one." Dumbledore said before continued.
"I cannot go into detail but creating a Horocrux cuts your soul in half to keep you bound to the mortal plain even if your body is destroyed you would still be bound to the mortal plain." Dumbledore said as Harry heard this. "I believe with how mutilated his soul was possibly from creating multiple horcruxes his soul was unstable thus when his spell rebound and hit him in the most desperate moves to survive and the ritual still in effect a fragment of Voldemort latched onto you that night." Dumbledore said as Harry heard it all.
"So... a part of Voldemort is inside me?" Harry asked to which Dumbledore nodded.
"I have been trying desperately to find a means to remove it but most would result in your death save for one but the gamble it involves was too great to attempt." Dumbledore said while Harry heard this all and knew Wizel had found the fragment inside him.
"Sir... if Wizel could remove it... do you suppose it's worth a try?" Harry asked to which Dumbledore looked to the young boy.
"Perhaps it is if he is truly up to the task." Dumbledore said to which he hoped Wizel can do the task.
"Ok..." Harry said to which Wizel heard.
"Master I am fully prepared to remove thou plague upon thy command." Wizel said still holding the contained fragment.
'Do it.' Harry said to which Wizel nodded.
"Be warned it shall be painful." Wizel said before he proceeded to do so.
Harry then cried out in pain as he grabbed his scar as Wizel did what he had to do. The Knight Ark appeared as it glowed attacking the scar and the fragment inside it. Soon the scar began to release a black ink like substance just like the diary did as Harry's feet buckled under him before it was followed by a scream of sorts before it vanished into nothingness. The only thing left was the black ink like substance dripping down his head from the scar now free of Voldemort's fragment.
"It is done." Wizel said just as Dumbledore ran over to Harry and saw the boy was alive.
"Painful... very painful." Harry commented as he was then passed a handkerchief that he then used to wipe off the black substance from the Horcrux.
"My boy can you stand?" Dumbledore asked to which Harry managed to regain his footing for now.
"Y-yes sir." Harry said as he regained his footing he was a bit dizzy but he would still survive for now.
"Harry despite the great power given to you." Dumbledore began as Harry looked to him. "I suggest you should keep it to yourself and only share it with those you truly trust." Dumbledore said knowing a power such as the White Knight would bring the most unsavory types to try and take its power. After all the Elder Wand came with that sort of curse as well especially since it was a Deathly Hollow.
"Of course sir." Harry agreed not wanting any psychopaths after him for the White Knights Power. He already had Voldemort after him and that was already troubling him enough.
Suddenly the door burst open, and a very mad, very blonde man stood glaring at Dumbledore. Behind his legs was wrapped a familiar house elf. Harry and Wizel glared at Lucius Malfoy the father of Draco Malfoy even though Wizel was unseen to the normal human eyes. Dobby was carrying a stained rag with which he was attempting to finish cleaning Mr. Malfoy's shoes. Apparently Lucius Malfoy had set out in a great hurry, for not only were his shoes half-polished, but his usually sleek hair was disheveled. Ignoring the elf bobbing apologetically around his ankles, he fixed his cold eyes upon Dumbledore.
"So!" he said while walking in and glaring at Dumbledore. "You've come back. The governors suspended you, but you still saw fit to return to Hogwarts." Lucius said as he glared at Albus while Harry made a hidden smirk. "Well, you see, Lucius," said Dumbledore, smiling serenely. "The other eleven governors contacted me today. It was something like being caught in a hailstorm of owls, to tell the truth. They'd heard that Arthur Weasley's daughter had been killed and wanted me back here at once. They seemed to think I was the best man for the job after all. Very strange tales they told me, too ... Several of them seemed to think that you had threatened to curse their families if they didn't agree to suspend me in the first place." Albus said as this brought about the desired reaction from Lucius which was him going even paler than usual, but his eyes were still slits of fury.
"So, have you stopped the attacks yet? Have you caught the culprit?" He asked as it sounded like he wanted answers.
"We have," said Dumbledore, with a smile.
"Well?" said Mr. Malfoy sharply. "Who is it?" Lucius demanded as he glared at Albus.
"The same person as last time, Lucius Lord Voldemort." Albus began as he looked to Lucius who was surprised. "But this time, Lord Voldemort was acting through somebody else. By means of this diary." Dumbledore explained while presenting the diary in question.
"I see..." Lucius drawled to Dumbledore with a hidden glare and venom to his tone.
"A clever plan," said Dumbledore in a level voice, still staring Mr. Malfoy straight in the eye. "Because if Harry and his friend Ron hadn't discovered this book, why Ginny Weasley might have taken most of the blame. No one would have been able to prove that they hadn't acted of their own free will." Dumbledore said to which Lucius Malfoy's face became like a mask.
"And imagine, what might have happened then. Dumbledore went on as it was clear he was on to Lucius plot. "The Weasleys are one of our most prominent pure-blood families. Imagine the effect on Arthur Weasley and his Muggle Protection Act, if his own daughter was discovered attacking and killing Muggle-borns. Very fortunate the diary was discovered, and Riddle's memories wiped from it. Who knows what the consequences might have been otherwise..." Dumbledore said showing that the Weasley family was a danger to Lucius and the Purebloods thus he had hoped the diary would have silenced them. It must have been the item Lucius refused to sell at that one shop and what was more important Harry knew exactly how Lucius could have sneaked it into Ginny's things... after all he had done so in broad day light with no one the wiser at the book store.
"Very fortunate," Mr. Malfoy said stiffly but it was then Harry spoke up.
Harry seeing what Dumbledore meant knew exactly what the long term plan was. Basically discredit and ruin Arthur and prevent his bill from being passed. After all who would want to pass a bill to protect the mundane born if the one wanting it passed has a child who mercilessly murders mundane born.
"Do you want to know how Ginny got the diary, Mr. Malfoy?" Harry asked, eyes narrowed at the elder Malfoy into a glare.
"How should I possibly know how the stupid girl got a hold of it," Lucius hissed noting a certain accusation to his tone.
"Simple. You gave it to her. Slipped it in her transfiguration book at Florish and Blotts," Harry answered, eyes never wavering to which Wizel chose to add his aid to it. He appeared as an invisible phantom behind Harry but the aura he gave made Harry far more intimidating then he truly was that Lucius almost had to take a step back.
"Prove it," Lucius hissed but it seems Wizel was intimidating Lucius through Harry.
"That won't be possible, now that Riddle is gone from the book. But I would caution you against giving out any more of Lord Voldemort's old school things. If they find their way into innocent hands, well, they might just be traced back to you..." Dumbledore said in a steely cold voice to which Lucius glared before turning around and storming out of the office.
"We're going, Dobby." Lucius ordered before he kicked the house elf through the door into the corridor.
It was then Harry had an idea to use as he then proceeded to carry it out. "Dumbledore, may I give the diary back to Malfoy?" Harry asked to which Dumbledore nodded the boy off to which Harry went outside to meet with Lucius.
(Later in the hall)
As Lucius and Dobby were walking down the hall Harry appeared not to far behind as he looked to Lucius. "Mr. Malfoy! Mr. Malfoy!" Harry called because catching his attention. Once Harry stopped in front of him he glared at Lucius before getting to business. "I have something of yours." Harry said before handing the diary back over to Lucius before glaring. "I may not be able to prove you did this... but from now on it would be in your best interest to stay vigilant and watch over your shoulder because one day I will find the evidence of your crime and put you away where you belong in Azkaban." Harry threatened while glaring at Lucius who passed the diary over to Dobby glared back at Harry.
The boy had a lot of nerve doing that to his face but Harry also knew this was just phase one of his plan. Now all that was needed was for Lucius to leave so Harry can tell Dobby what he needed and in turn his plan though a spur of the moment plan would be complete. "Come Dobby." Lucius hissed before storming off almost in a way daring Harry to attack while his back was turned.
Luckily Harry had enough self-control to stop himself and in turn looked over to Dobby. "Open it." Harry whispered to Dobby once Lucius was far away enough from ear shot.
Dobby did so as for some reason there was something inside the book that was sticking out without Malfoy notice it, as Dobby open the Diary and saw a black sock in one of the pages as Lucius said, "Dobby!"
"Master has given Dobby a sock," Dobby said in surprise, as Lucius wonder what he meant a he turn around towards the house elf as he said, "What no I didn't-
He stop mid-way as he saw what Dobby is holding as Dobby pull out the sock while dropping the dairy as the house elf said, "Master has presented Dobby with clothes…Dobby is free."
Lucius twitch to this as he look to Harry as the boy give a smile while lifting up one of his pant legs showing his foot is without a sock as Lucius spoken with Venom in his voice, "You lost me my servant!"
Lucius pulled his wand out from a Cane as he pointed the wand at Harry as he walk forward towards Harry as Dobby gotten in front of Harry as he said, "You shall not harm Harry Potter!"
Lucius did take Dobby threat as he keep coming as he raise his wand and began to say, "Ava-
Dobby summon forth his power from within as it took the form of an magical orb as he shot it out at Lucius, and sent him flying across the halls, protecting harry and getting a bit of Pay back from his former Abusive Master.
Harry look down at Dobby as he cross his arm looking at his former master on the ground, being surprise as he never knew a house elf could have that kind of power with them with Wizel seeing this from Harry point of view he could say that house elf had honor.
As Lucius stood back up while fixing himself as he look angrily at Harry as he said, "Your parent were meddlesome fools too. Mark my words Potter, one day soon you going to meet the same sticky end."
Lucius soon turn away and walk off without saying another word as Wizel appeared ghostly like to the side of Harry as he said, "If thy foes desires to harm thee my master, then ye weak fools shall face our pow'r."
'I'm sure he may one day, but not today,' harry thought as Wizel vanish as Harry turn towards Dobby as the house elf said to him, "Harry Potter free Dobby. How can Dobby ever repay him?"
"Just promise me something," Harry said as Dobby nodded as he said, "Anything sir."
Harry smile as he said to the house elf, "Never save my life again."
Dobby kind of give a awkward laugh as he give a nod to Harry as soon enough Dobby vanish, as Harry may have gain another enemy, but he also gain a friend.
(Time skip)
In the great hall as everyone has gather, and a friendly nearly headless ghost floats around as people called out, "Welcome back Sir. Nicholas."
"Thank you!" the ghost said as he keep floating by as someone else said to him, "Good evening Sir. Nicholas."
"Good evening," He said back to the student as he keep on going with someone else said, "Good to see you Sir Nickolas."
"Thank you," Nickolas said as he was happy to be welcome back warmly after stared death in the eyes of the Basilisk a few months back, as almost everyone did missed seeing him around for a while as everyone mood was happily and bright around as student who were petrified came walking in including a familiar bushy hair girl as Nickolas stop for a moment as he said, "Ah Hermione, welcome back."
"Thanks Sir. Nickolas," Hermione said as they both went on their way pass each other, as Hermione look across the great hall as her eyes landed on Gryffindor table as she spotted a familiar pair of friends.
As they were chatting with others around the table as Neville turn to the door for a moment and saw her as he said loudly, "Harry, its Hermione!"
Both boys look to the doors as they smile to this with Hermione smile back as she ran towards them with Harry and Ron getting up from the table and waited as Hermione came and ran into Harry's arms first as they hug each other for a moment as they let off with Hermione turning to Ron about to give him a hug as well but stop for a moment, as for some reason it seem a bit awkward for them as they just give each other a hand shake.
With Ron trying to figure out some words to say as he said to her, "Welcome back Hermione."
"It's good to be back," Hermione said as she look to them both as she said, "Congratulation, I can't believe you solved it."
"Well we had loads of help from you," Harry said as Ron nodded his head in agreement as Harry said to her, "We couldn't have done it without you."
"Thanks," Hermione said as, she smile to that for she felt happy she was the one to be the one to help save the day in a way.
Wizel observed this with intrigue as to think this school would flourish since the time of Godric. He remembers little of that time but he did remember war and conflict. After all he was a weapon of war if memory serves.
"Um Hermione um." Harry began as Wizel saw that Harry was trying to bring him up.
"By chance is thy maiden your betrothed and this boy be thy squire?" Wizel asked to which Harry went wide eyed at this
But before Harry could respond tapping on glass was heard to which the trio looked. "Can I have your attention please?" McGonagall began as she looked to the students to which Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to the Gryffindor table.
Dumbledore with a great weight lifted off his shoulders as he had casted a silent charm upon Harry and confirmed the Horcrux was successfully removed which meant the Prophesy would be null and void. "Before we begin the feast let us have a round of applause for Professor Sprout and Madam Pomfrey whose Mandrake juice has been successful administered to all who had been petrified." Dumbledore began as the, applauds were heard in turn of this announcement. "And in light of recent events as a school treat all exams have been canceled." Dumbledore announced as this got a cheer from everyone because let's face it almost no one likes taking tests.
In fact only Hermione was against such a thing judging by her expression after this announcement. Wizel of course looked closely upon Hermione sensing a familiar presence about her one he could not decipher for the life of him. Perhaps a power he had not seen for many centuries. But soon the doors to the great hall opened and from it a familiar half giant walked in.
"Sorry I'm late." Hagrid apologized while all eyes were on him as many students were very happy to see him. "The owl that delivered my release papers got all lost and confused. Some rutty bird called Errol." Hagrid said to which Ron looked embarrass realizing it was the Weasley Families owl.
Ron then look apologetically to Dumbledore who smiled and nodded understanding Errol was unique in his own way. Hagrid then stopped before Harry, Ron, and Hermione as he smiled down at the three. "I would just like to say that if it hadn't been for you Harry and Ron and Hermione of course." Hagrid said looking upon each of the Golden Trio. "I'd still be you-know-where so I'd just like to say thanks." Hagrid said happy to be away from Azkaban.
Harry then stood up and smiled to Hagrid before finally speaking. "It wouldn't have been Hogwarts without you Hagrid." Harry said before he hugged Hagrid as Wizel saw the purity in this scene and chose silence for the time being. Hagrid smiled back and in turn hugged Harry as Ron and Hermione smiled at the scene as well.
Soon Dumbledore began to stand and clap for Hagrid followed by Minerva before it began a chain reaction. Soon the entire hall was filled with cheers and applauds of students happy to have Hagrid back. Even silent and solemn Wizel was joining in on this as all was joyous. But unknown too many with the White Knights awakening the Gears of fate have begun turning and with it a new destiny awaited as well as a new war.
(Scene Break Gringotts Bank Diagon Alley Potter Account Manager office)
Griphook was many things in his life an excellent banker, a great warrior, and a few other things. But being the Potter account Manager had its perks one of which was having close tabs on specific things until Harry was of age. Now mind you despite the animosity between the Goblins and Wizards they were creatures of their word and never stole from their clients less they stole first. So needless to say he was quiet... bored with his job surprisingly enough. Oh how he messed the battlefield Goblins were warriors but after their uprising that won them the entire Wizarding Worlds finances Griphook felt out of touch.
He at this point is close to forgetting what a sword felt like in his grip. While he reminisced the good old days his doors soon slammed open revealing another gobbling.
"Snagtooth what brings you here?" Griphook asked glaring at the Goblin.
"Account Manager something has happened in the Potter Vault?!" He called in a panic to which Griphook was shocked.
"Did someone try to break in?!" He asked not needing this in public eye.
"I thought so at first but nothing was stolen in fact it seems Lord Potter's vault had doubled if not tripled in size overnight." The Goblin said surprising Griphook.
"I want to know what had happened! NOW!" He ordered as this was a strange event... why break in and leave things in opposed to taking.
"I already did so and discovered this." The Goblin said passing the paper to Griphook who then went wide eyed. It was a bounty paper on a particular creature set up by Godric Gryffindor when he first built Hogwarts. It was an outstanding bounty that had never been met to completion until today that is. "It seems the boy managed to complete the bounty to Godric Gryffindor's satisfaction and in turn was awarded the bounty owed to him." Snagtooth said to which Griphook grinned a bit.
Out of all the wizards and witches in the world there was only one group of these people the Goblins enjoyed doing business with. Monster Hunters the genuine ones who hunt down and either capture or kill particular creatures of a most dangerous variety. They work alongside the DMLE and the DRCMC (Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures) as both liaison and assistance for certain target beyond their capabilities. But not anyone can become a part of this group they have to be selected otherwise if they perform a job for such a group without proper regulation or papers they risk being arrested themselves or worse.
Now normally only the best of the best can join them as in the words of the Muggles they are like an adventures guild but regulated instead of being basic mercenaries. They have their own classifications and it takes more the N.E.W.T.S and O.W.L.S. to be eligible to join them. Potter did not have the badge to do this job even if he was unaware of it but according to this bounty Godric had that covered as well saying whoever completes it if he or she is not a hunter then they are to be granted the needed papers and registrations to be a Hunter. In other words thanks to completing this bounty set up by Godric Gryffindor to kill the Basilisk Harry Potter had just become one of the younger D Class Monster Hunter to receive his license.
In other words if they played their cards right Harry Potter would become a new and most valuable costumer's for Gringotts. "Plus Godric covered his basis the Sword of Gryffindor was to be one of Harry's reward for such a task and he even went above and beyond to ensure he got to keep the sword instead of plain out renting it. Now seeing as Harry is a Hunter now and the Monster Hunters were close and also valuable patrons of Gringotts he knew this was to be made official. But Griphook was mentally jumping in joy as now his boredom will come to an end.
"We must work hastily before the news hears of this. I want letters sent out to all parties involved and I want Potter's License ready as soon as possible. Despite Gringotts priding itself in its speedy transaction this one will take time considering the bureaucratic and official aspects of this." Griphook said as Snagtooth nodded.
"I shall endeavor to have it ready before his 3rd year at Hogwarts if not then I will compensate D Class Hunter Potter for this tardiness." Snagtooth said to which Griphook liked. In fact it was the main reason he kept Snagtooth around the Goblin reminded him of a younger version of himself in the good old days desiring to prove himself capable.
"Good we must work fast now go!" Griphook ordered before Snagtooth took his leave. "My, oh my, it has been quite some time since we had a licensed hunter so young." Griphook said as he only had the privilege of seeing one other Hunter receive her license at the age of 10 no less. Needless to say change was coming and Griphook was happy to have a front row seat to it.
(TBC)
ESKK: I don't understand why White Knight Chronicles isn't more popular. Seriously an underrated game and I especially loved Geonet and hated how they shut down its services. Anyway I hope you all enjoyed this but before you start asking I already have three of the five Knights Pactmakers decided. Here is the listing for it:
White Knight: Harry Potter
Black Knight: Delphini Riddle
Dragon Knight: OC from Texas (Sorry if he seems like a Gary Stew in advance but I didn't have cannon character who acted like Ceaser for this so yea.)
ESKK: The Moon Maiden is tied between Daphne Greengrass, Luna Lovegood, Cho Chang, and Susan Bones. I had thought of Hermione to be the pactmaker but decided against it for now since I have much grander plans for her. Anyway see you all next time so leave a review as I now say here ja-ne.
