IMPORTANT!

Hey ya'll! I'm new to this whole writing a story thing, but I'll do my best! I was inspired to write this story after reading Brave New World, Master and Margarita, and A Clockwork Orange. (All of which I recommend to the philosophical/biblical-open-minded people out there!) I'm going to say it bluntly, this story is controversial – so if you don't like when people question, challenge, or give new ideas I don't suggest reading this. Also, it might get a little graphic, so I don't recommend it for light readers. Yes there will be a slight romance involved. Oh! Before I forget, I don't own any of the Harry Potter ideas or characters, they rightfully belong to their authoress. So…with out further ado, I present….

Biblical Truths of Mortals and Power

…then your eyes shall be opened,

and ye shall be as gods,

knowing good and evil

Genesis

A pain filled scream ripped through the peaceful silence of the small house, followed by a newborn baby's first wail. On a simple, handmade bed lay the new young mother. Her hair fanned around her in waves of chestnut brown hair, while tears of pained joy fell down her face.

A silent midwife smiled softly as she showed the newborn to the young woman.

"A boy," whispered the mother. "I have a gorgeous baby boy." Her screams filled the air again, and within a few seconds, another young wail pierced the air. Again the mother was shown her new child.

"A girl. I have a beautiful baby girl."

The babies' wails softened as it heard the familiar voice of its mother, and began to move their mouths in hopes of food. Laughing softly, the young woman pulled at her shift, and offered her breasts to her children. They grunted slightly, but quickly quieted as milk was found

"And the Divine gaveth unto me two children, whose name shall be Ariel, the Lion of the Divine, and Asa, The Healer.

A smiled formed on the lips of the midwife who was leaving the room. The children would grow strong, and help save her people.

A sinister smile grew across the lips of the white hooded man as he looked into the pool at the scene of the new mother and her child. It was all going according to plan. He had made the most daring move, and his work was paying off.

Soft footfalls drew his attention away from the pool, and towards a black-cloaked figure that moved towards him.

"I see the job has been completed."

The figure kneeled and kissed the hem of the white hooded mans robe.

"Yes my Lord."

"And how many were lost?"

"About fifteen men, ten women, and one hundred other creatures."

The white clad man nodded his head, his red eyes narrowing. "A decent amount. Reward those who lived."

"Yes my Lord. My lord, what of the captives?"

A soft light emanated from the pool, showing a picture of men and women whose wings were torn and bloodied. They formed a small huddled group around three young children whose once beautiful wings were broken and bloodied, they sat crying, clinging to the older people. A soft hiss came from the thin lips of the man, as another cruel smile crossed his face. "Kill them."

The black clad man smiled and bowed. "As you wish my Lord." Quickly, he moved from the room. The Lord peered into the pool, and watched as the man entered the room that held the captives, along with several other black hooded people. Two men pushed there way into the center of the group and pulled the children out. A small smile graced the Lords Face as the children began to scream and cry, and as the elders wept for mercy and begged them to leave the children alone. The black clad men turned the children to face the others. The elders' eyes filled with horror and they screamed as realization hit them. They could only watch helplessly as the children screamed as their wings were pulled from their backs.

The Lord watched on, a pleased smile on his face. A soft hiss announced the presence of a snake as its head appeared on the shoulder of the Lord. The Lord petted it.

"My dear, our work is the greatest yet. No one shall stop us now, my pet."

The snake merely hissed, and the Lords attention was brought back to the pool as the screams of fear filled the room again. He saw the elders pushing the children behind them, as the screams grew louder. A bright green flash exploded and silence ensued.

Away, safe from danger, the new mother felt fear rip through her and sudden emptiness. Her children, feeling the emotional change, began to wail. The midwife ran in, to find the new mother holding her babes while tears of pain and sorrow fell from her eyes.

The midwife ran to the pair, and took the babes, knowing the mother was grieving. She too had felt it, but not to the extent as the young woman. After all, they were directly of her blood.

A dark sadness covered the Weasley house. The death of the Dumbledore had hit everyone hard. A deep sigh came from Arthur Weasley as he sat at the table, a small tumbler of fire-whiskey at hand. He watched his wife as she walked around the kitchen, trying to find something to do to occupy her. Her head would occasionally send a fretful glance towards the clock, hoping to see that her Ron was headed home soon.

The back door slid open, and both Molly and Arthur looked up to see their youngest walk in soaking wet.

"Hullo." Ginny gave a weak smile to her parents.

"Ginny! You'll catch a cold! Hurry and get out of those clothes!" Molly, finally finding that her occupation would be fussing over her daughter, hurried to Ginny's side.

"I'm alright mum. Just a bit wet is all." Ginny pulled a long strand of red hair from her face.

"Any sign of the boys or Hermione yet?" Arthur looked hopefully at his daughter.

"None."

Arthur gave a frown, and took another sip of his fire-whiskey. It had been several hours since the three had gone. It was only to be a short trip to gather all of Harry's things from the Dursely's, but it was taking longer then expected.

A sudden flash, and loud thud from the fireplace had all three jump and pull their wands out. There stood the three, covered in soot. Relief spread through out the family.

"Where were you?! It's been over four hours!" Molly's shrill cry pierced throughout the house as she began to dust them all off.

"We're all right mum! Harry's got all his stuff and we took a detour."

"A detour? What ever did you need a detour for?" came Ginny's puzzled question. Harry gave a cough as Mrs. Weasley brushed soot into his face.

"My Aunt and Uncle had a letter that Dumbledore had left them. In it was a piece of quote that is found in a religious muggle book called the Bible." Harry handed the letter to Mr. Weasley, and shot a glance towards Ginny's wet form. She shrugged and looked towards the paper in her father's hands

…then your eyes shall be opened,

and ye shall be as gods,

knowing good and evil

"What does it mean?" Molly looked at the words, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion.

"It comes from the Genesis, a muggle holy book that describes the creation of the word." Hermione explained to the confused looks she was receiving. "And I believe that is said by the serpent who tricks the first woman into eating from the forbidden fruit."

"Why would Dumbledore want us to have this?" Ginny took the parchment from her father and re-read the quote as her mother asked the question.

"What is the beginning of this quote? Maybe it has the answer." Ginny looked up at the group. "Can we find this bylul?" She asked as she handed Harry the parchment.

"Bible, and yes. Muggles can buy it at bookshops or read it at their church." Came Hermione's reply.

"Well, lets start there!" Ginny gave a grin.

"NOT, until we've eaten! I'm starved!" Ron started to make his way into the kitchen only to be stopped by his mothers loud yell that she would cook dinner, and he could wait.

Ginny and Hermione gave a chuckle as they watched the smaller Mrs. Weasley smack her much taller son. Mr. Wesley also gave a soft chuckle. Harry stood apart, watching the family interact. He missed times like these.

Glancing down at the paper in his hand, and frowned slightly. It had been bugging him the entire time – what did a religious muggle quote have to do with magic folk?

OK! So that's chapter one! Please leave me a comment! I'm sorry it was a little depressing….it'll get better though! I hope you like it!
