Chapter 1

"You should not have come here", said Albus Dumbledore calmly as Lord Voldemort stared furiously at the old Hogwarts Headmaster," The Aurors will be here soon".

"By which time I shall be gone and you..shall be dead!" cried Voldemort as Dumbledore dodged the Avada Kedavra sent at him.

As Harry Potter watched the two great wizards duel behind the goblin statue, mused on what had happened that day.

It had all started with a false vision of Sirius getting tortured from Voldemort. Despite Hermione's warnings, he had foolishly taken his friends along with him to the Ministry to rescue Sirius.

Too late, he had realized it was a trap; there was no way they,a group of schoolchildren would have been able to take on the Death Eaters, but by sheer luck they had been able to hold out until the Order had arrived.

Hermione had been struck by a nasty spell from Dolohov, Ron had been attacked by the brains at the DOM, and he had no idea about the rest as he had been busy chasing down Bellatrix Lestrange when she had cursed Sirius. Luckily for Sirius, Remus Lupin had caught him just before he fell into the mysterious Veil. It was after he had tried to curse Lestrange with the Cruciatus that Voldemort had appeared.

Suddenly there was a big crash and Harry was snapped out of his musings as the goblin statue crashed against the force of a Reducto.

"Protego!",Dumbledore cried,"Harry! Get out of here! Now!". At the same time Voldemort fired a spell at Dumbledore. Whatever the spell Harry did not know as the two spells instead of cancelling each other met each other in the middle.

Harry wondered how this possible without a Priori Incantem as in his fourth year, but he had no time to ponder this as he saw energy building up at the meeting point of the spell.

His eyes widened as suddenly there was a loud explosion. The last thing he saw was a bolt of lightning from the two spells heading towards him before he was engulfed in great pain. He felt as if his body was on fire while being pounded by an iron multiple times. Strangely he noticed that his body was glowing brightly before losing consciousness.

Dumbledore watched in horror as he saw Harry being struck with the lightning, while Voldemort watched in curiousness and glee.

Just then Minister Fudge along with his entourage entered the hall.

"What the...That's You-know-who!",squeaked Fudge. Scowling Voldemort apparated out of there with Lestrange.

"Dumbledore..you..I..what are you doing here? Gaurds! Arrest him! And..Potter!",spluttered Fudge. "My dear Cornelius. You know well as I do that I can take on these Aurors anytime, however I do not wish do so at the moment. Here is what you are going to do. You are going to reinstate me to all my positions. Cease your meddling in Hogwarts affairs. Remove Delores Umbridge from my school immediately! You are also going to announce that Voldemort is back and I know that you cannot deny it this time! I shall reserve half an hour of my time to explain things to you. Now excuse me while I take Harry back to Hogwarts. As you can see, he needs treatment immediately. Good Bye.",Dumbledore thundered. Fudge gulped at the power in Dumbledore's voice. This was the same old man who had fought Voldemort after all. He did nothing but nodded mutely as Dumbledore picked Harry up and dissapparated.

It had been three weeks. Harry had not woken up yet. From time to time it appeared as his heartbeat stopped but minutes again it would return to normal. Dumbledore was worried. He could not rid himself from the guilt that threatened to overwhelm him.

If he had been more careful... This wasn't the first time this had happened, he remembered with tears in his eyes. "Arianna",he sighed. The same thing had happened to Ariana except her body had never been found. It had been just as if she had...vanished. If anything like happened to Harry...he would never be able to forgive herself.

"Headmaster! Come quickly! You must see this!",came the voice of Madame Pompfrey, the local school healer.

"What is it Pompfrey? Is something wrong with Harry?", he asked fearfully.

"No. In fact it is the opposite! This is shouldn't be possible..", she fretted.

"Please tell me what is wrong, Madame",urged Dumbledore.

"All his previous injuries, including his malnutrition from the Dursleys",she uttered the word Dursley with disgust, as Dumbledore hung his head in shame. He should have realised how badly they had been treating Harry. During the scans, they had discovered long term injuries in various parts of Harry's body..long before Hogwarts. He almost missed Pompfrey's next words,"They are all healing. Its as if he never had it before."

"What?", he exclaimed in shock. How was this possible?

"Thats not it. His magic levels...Albus, they are way more than the Merlin scale"

Dumbledore swerved quickly and looked her sharp in the eye,"What do you mean? Above the Merlin scale?"

The Merlin scale was a measurement by which wizards and witches measured their magical power. 1-100 was muggle level(Every living thing had a core)

100-150 was squib level, 150-400 was average level, 400-800 was mage level,800-1000 was arch-mage level and 1000-1500 was sorceror level. Albus level was 1050 while Voldemort's was 1150. Merlin's itself had been 1500.

"What is the score",he whispered almost afraid to know.

"3500" whispered Pompfrey.

"My God.", albus whispered softly as he sat down on the bed. What could this mean.

"What else have you observed", he asked.

"Ah, yes, I have noticed something else. It is most strange. You know that Harry's heart had been stopping from time to time? I thought that the spell I was using may have been faulty. So I used a more ancient. It is then I realized what was wrong. THe spell wasn't faulty. It just couldn't keep up with Harry's heart"

"What do you mean",Dumbledore asked. He seemed to be asking this a lot today, he thought.

"His heart is moving so fast...almost at the speed of light..so are his cells..they are vibrating so fast..I don't understand it at all."

'Whatever is wrong with you my boy?' Dumbledore thought as he looked down upon Harry's body.
