Impact: Year Seven
*gasp* I put the new story up! As a reminder, the original Impact goes byebye once the oneshots are caught up to it.

There's two parts to this one: one is like some of the main characters talking about themselves and then a revised version of the first chapter of the original Impact
Allow Me to Introduce Myself
You Know What They Say About Assuming
My name, as I'm sure you stalkers know, is Harry James Potter; though, I am also known as Lord Harold Potter-Black, Jamie, Jimmy (call me that and DIE; hear that, Danny?), the Boy-Who-Lived (fear the caps, people), and some not-so-nice names I won't mention.
You want to know more about me? What the hell? Right, well, I change my underwear everyday, can pat my head and rub my stomach at the same time… Oh, not that stuff? You should've said something.
Moi? A smart alec?! No shit, Sherlock.
Oh fine, I'm a part-time student and part-time professor at Hogwarts as I try to graduate. I'm the leader of the Nundus, a.k.a the gray/non-Star Wars/kick ass side… I'm not gay thank-you-very-much. I have an adopted little sister, Serenity, and she's the only person I'd consider family that is related to me actually; well, until she and Dan get married and legally adopt Mindy of course.
Oh, and I'm consider a traitor because Voldie (who incidentally is my best mate's father…) tried to kill me and it went "Avada Ke-doink!". …which made people assume I was on Dumbles' side. Well, you know what they say about assuming.
Ooh, blood! Gimme!
Um… what? Oh, introduce myself? Why? Because you said so isn't a good answer, Jim. Gah! Okay, okay… Sheeeesh…
Hello. I'm Danny Riddle, as I prefer. I was born Disaster Dante, but I will soon be changing it to Dante Jeremiah. My title is Prince Dante, from my mother's side. My father is a dark lord, but I try not to think about that. …and I am starting to freak myself out.
Erm… I like my friends, my mate's boobs (you know you love me, Ren!), um art, music, and other stuff. Er, yeah… My mate is brilliant as hell, sexy as hell, and scary as hell. She scares me! Uh, I love you, Ren! Ooh! Blood! Gimme! Gimme! Miiine!
Why Am I Friends with You Two Again?
Dan, stop sucking on my wrist please. I need to write with that hand. I don't care if you're thirsty! You Fed yesterday!
Anyways, I'm Serenity Ann Potter, soon to be Serenity Ann Potter-Riddle, no matter what dearie says. So stop whining, Danny. I already planned our wedding, so don't worry about that. Danny to me equals my first friend, my best friend, my first love, my boyfriend, my soulmate, my future husband, and the father of my children. I AM NOT OBSESSED, HARRY. SHUT UP! I DO NOT HAVE A TEMPER PROBLEM. …purr…Daaanny…
Cough… Sorry about that.
Well, my plans are to become a successful writer, a knowledgable teacher (you will rue signing me up for that, bro, RUE), a mother with a big family no matter what my Danny thinks, aaaaand to bring equality to all magical beings through force. Have a nice day.
'Cause I'm a Big Kid Now!
Hiyas! Me Mindy Riddle! Me stole the pweety pen from my mommy! I is seven-years-old! I'm a big girl now! My best friend is Angie. Mommy and Daddy aren't really my mommy and daddy yet. My real Daddy didn't want me… But my new, bester daddy soon found me! And I get a mommy once Danny, my daddy, is seventeen. That is really old… Daddy and Mommy are old. But I'm seven, and I get to do stuff. I'm a big kid now!
I Don't Get Paid Enough For This…
Bonjour, je m'appelle Eloise, ou Ellie. Oh my, you Britains and your lack of knowledge on the French language. Hello, my name is Ellie. Happy now? I'm the unofficial second-in-command here at the Nundus and the resident potion expert. Mind you, being semi-in-charge isn't easy. A certain trio of mages rarely like to act their ages coughDanHarryandRencough. …and Danny and Harry keep blowing up my cauldrons if I forget to ward the merde out of my lab…
Seriously, it's like a fulltime job. The only payment I get is a sincere thank you and friends. Excusez-moi, but I think I deserve more for testing my sanity almost daily, oui?
Oh, and my future husband is Severus Snape. He is so charming... And if the whole marriage thing doesn't work out, I'll deal with friends with "benefits".
Just Because I'm a Weasley Doesn't Mean A Thing
Hi. I'm Ginny Weasley. You know, the girl who got possessed by Voldie's journal and considered a traitor for going to the Nundus? Yeah, that's me.
I was raised to believe family meant everything, and I would someday marry Harry Potter. Trust me, only a maniac would marry that psychopath. Harry is like an older brother who isn't obsessively overprotective. And people wonder why I left my family when I couldn't be, you know, me?
That's all I wanted really. Harry and his friends have shown me that it is okay to have different opinions. It's amazing being around people who like you for you and listen to your opinions, no matter how different it is.
Like Ellie, my best friend, who simply adores Snape when I can't stand him. Seriously, the bat is not hot, Ell!
It's amazing to be somewhere where my last name doesn't immediately force me to believe a certain set of values and ideals.
The Bookworm Gryffindor
Hello, I'm Hermione. I'm the Head Girl at Hogwarts, I love books, and for some reason or another I'm dating Harry Potter. Yes, he deserves a few whacks on the head every once in a while, but I can overlook that. Serenity though… I don't know why Harry puts up with that spoiled brat. Danny is normally okay and I guess I would consider him a friend. Serenity, well, I think we both pretend to be friends for Harry's sake.
Starting the Year Off with a Bang… Literally
"So wait, do I wait in the Great Hall or bug people on the Hogwarts' Express?" Harry innocently asked Dumbledore for the tenth time that hour.
"Mr. Potter, I know you are just trying to get under my skin," Dumbledore calmly said for the third time. Mentally he added, 'I do not get paid enough for this… Severus is throwing a fit I hired him, Harry is purposely trying to annoy me, and the youngest of the bunch doesn't even want to be here…'
"Ew, why would he do that?" a female voice chimed in. Honey eyes glanced at Dumbledore with even more innocence than her adopted brother could even muster. A petite blond had just sprinted into the room the Hogwarts' staff met in for meetings.
"There you are, Miss Potter," Albus said calmly. Ah yes, the one professor he most anticipated yet dreaded at the same time.
"Sorry, came from Italy."
"What in the world were you doing there?" McGonagall asked with a sniff.
"Future in-laws. Danny drags me there with him every other week," Serenity stated matter-of-factly. The half-veela stuck her tongue out and decided that right before the teachers had to leave would be a great time to sit on Harry's lap. "Hi, bro-bro!" she chirped.
"Hi, Ren. Where's Dan…?"
"Italy."
Harry blinked. Why in the world would his rather protective, half-vampire best friend leave his mate alone? He still remembered when Danny freaked out when Serenity crossed the street without telling the future monarch first.
"Can you have this discussion after the meeting?" Remus wryly asked. The Defense Professor who seemed to have broken the jinx dodged as the sixteen-year-old veela chucked her lip balm at him for what seemed to be the hundredth time.
"Asshole!" Serenity screeched.
"What have we told you about swearing here, you insolent brat?" Snape snapped.
"Look, just because I'm an orphan doesn't mean I need you to boss me around, shithead. Oh, and Ellie wanted to know why you weren't responding to her owls."
Snape adopted a look of mortification at the mention of Serenity's and Harry's odd friend with an equally odd fan-girl like obsession with him. "Tell that wench to leave me alone before I contact the authorities!"
"Snape, don't. That will only make her happier. I don't know what is wrong with her, but she is damn convinced that you two are in love," Harry said as his voice told the whole room how much Ellie's obsession disgusted him.
"Um… can we just change the subject?" Serenity asked.
Serenity sat down at hers and Harry's desk in the classroom they would be sharing this year and stretched out with a yawn.
While she may first appear to be innocent, cute, and rather weak, Serenity was the brains behind the Revolution group and the biggest, and most likely only, youth rebellion in Wizarding history, the Nundus. An orphan for literally all her life, Danny Riddle and Harry Potter were the closest thing to family she had growing up.
Harry officially adopted her as his sister on his seventeenth birthday. They were siblings in every way but blood.
Danny Riddle, on the other hand, was her boyfriend of almost a year who was marrying her or else, and she made sure he knew that. He also just happened to be Harry's best friend since they were five.
"…I miss dearie…!" Serenity randomly whined.
"Sissy, you saw him forty minutes ago."
"And that's thirty-nine minutes too long…!"
"Too bad."
"Harry…!"
"Higher, Daddy, higher!" a young girl squealed as a teenaged boy pushed her on the swings gently.
"Okay, Mindy," the pale teenager said calmly. Behind him, three equally pale women were watching them attentively.
"Dante, don't make the dear go to high," the youngest of the women said.
"Mother, I think I know about young children more than you do considering you didn't bother to raise me or Leon," the teenager snapped.
"There, there, Daddy," the young girl, Mindy, said between her squeals of joy.
The teenager, Danny Riddle, snorted in amusement before pulling the girl he considered a daughter in his arms and off the swings.
"Okay, that's enough for now, Mins," he gently said.
"But, Daddy…!" she whined.
"Kiddo, enough is enough." Silvery-blue eyes glanced directly into the girl's olive eyes.
Mindy stuck her lip out but wrapped her small arms around her father's neck. "Daddy, when will Mommy be back?" she asked cutely.
"I don't know. She's going to call me once she needs me to pick her up."
"Me miss Mommy…!"
"Me, too…"
An apparently middle-aged man walked into the backyard hidden behind a large manor and turned towards Danny. "Dante, are you aware that there is a clan counsel meeting tomorrow…?"
Danny groaned loudly and said, "You didn't tell me until now on purpose, didn't you?"
"Quite possibly. That may also be why the manor is being warded so you can't leave with Serenity and Melinda."
"Fine, I'll go, Uncle Jerry."
"Oh good, because this is when heirs, their mate, and family are expected to attend."
Danny rolled his eyes and carried his daughter inside. Only his great-uncle…
"Daddy, what was Uncle Jerry talking about…?" Mindy asked cutely.
"You, me, and Mommy all have to go to this boring meeting with a bunch of old farts."
"Why…?!" the girl whined.
"I'd love to know that myself personally."
Mindy stuck her lip out and crossed her arms. "But I don't wanna…!"
"Well, neither do I, so you'll just have to deal with it, kiddo."
Mindy made a hmmphing noise under her breath.
"Are you okay, bro…?" Serenity asked Harry with concern as the two followed the other teachers into the Great Hall for the Opening Feast. They sat down at the table as the doors opened for the students to get in.
"Yeah… my magic is just acting up again… Maybe a storm is coming," Harry muttered under his breath.
"Are you sure…?"
"Potter," Snape barked fiercely, "stop showing off like your idiot of a father."
"What?" Harry sharply said in confusion.
Serenity's eyes widened when she saw the static electricity hovering around her brother. "H-Harry… are you sure it's just a storm? Aren't you supposed to, you know, anytime now?"
"Why do you-?" Harry's eyes rolled back into his head just as students streamed in.
Serenity started to viciously curse and she screamed, "Get out of here! He is Climaxing now! The magical backlash can kill those not trained to handle this!"
Harry's body was crumpled into a ball as the magical energy started to swirl around the room and gather around him. Strikes of lightning started to hit the ground.
Serenity bit her lip before starting to cast wards to contain the backlash of what was about to come.
'Danny, where are you when I need you?!'
Students glanced up in confusion.
Dumbledore magnified his voice and said, "All students most report to their common rooms immediately."
Serenity mouthed thank you before continuing her spellwork. Flitwick watched in awe at the spells the small girl in front of him was churning out.
"If anyone knows any spells or anything that will help contain an explosive amount of magical backlash it would be greatly appreciated!" the petite blond snapped irritably.
Dumbledore, McGonagall, Flitwick, and Lupin snapped out of their dazes and started casting.
Danny blinked a few times. He just had this awful feeling something was going on… Oh well, maybe he just ate some bad fruit or something…
"Hey, Daddy, will you help me draw a picture of Darry for Mommy?" Mindy asked as she bounced into the small library near the rooms they stayed at while at Lamia Manor.
Danny rolled his eyes but started to show his daughter how to draw that annoying, pesky kitten his daughter and mate loved dearly.
He wondered if Serenity and Harry were having an oddly relaxing time like he was…
Serenity took a deep breath before bracing herself to enforcing the wards when she saw the powerful backlash coming…
She couldn't see her adopted, older brother from all of the blinding yellow light surrounding him. Vaguely, she could see energy condensing into what Serenity assumed would be his scepter.
Relief flooded in her when the wards held up and the light spectacle fizzled out quickly.
"Ow…" she heard Harry mutter as he tried to sit up. Serenity groaned when Harry fainted.
'Hey, Harry…' Danny said through their link.
'Harry…'
'Harry…?'
'Harry?'
'Harry?!'
'HARRY?!?'
Danny decided now would be a very good time to go pick up Serenity from Hogwarts.
Serenity sighed and ran her hand through her hair as a now unconscious Harry was recovering the magical implosion in the Hospital Wing.
She turned to look at the door when it was thrown open and her worried mate jogged in with Dumbledore trying to keep up with the fit vampire.
"What's wrong? What happened?!" Danny said quickly when he saw his best friend.
"Climax…"
"Oh sheesh… Maybe I should go call Uncle Jerry and tell him we're staying here for the night and will be back tomorrow for the High Council thingy."
"…there's a High Council tomorrow?" Dumbledore's annoyingly cheery voice asked.
"Yes, though it isn't any of your business," Danny snidely replied.
Serenity scowled and cuffed her mate. "Danny! Stop sounding like Voldie!"
"I am not like my father!"
"No one said you were, Mr. Riddle," Dumbledore tiredly stated.
Danny immaturely stuck his tongue out before turning to his best friend. Serenity climbed on his back and hugged his shoulders to soothe his nerves.
"I'm going to assume you know were you room is, Miss Potter, if you spend the night. I must be going back to the feast now."
"Good riddance!" the two Nundu leaders yelled at Dumbledore before turning back to their fellow leader who was rolling around.
Danny sighed and said, "I'm going to see if I can use the floo…"
Danny rubbed his temples after finishing his floo call. Mindy wasn't happy that he and Serenity wanted her to stay at the manor in the very least. She would just have to deal… Now to find Lupin, so he could turn off the floo or whatever you did to close the connection.
Mindy happily jumped out of the running floo fireplace… thing once her daddy got out of sight. Now to find Daddy or Mommy!
Let's just say it didn't take long for the seven-year-old half elf to get lost. She tilted her head to the side when she saw what must have been the biggest doors in the whole wide world!
Mindy poked the door and looked in awe when it swung open to reveal the biggest room the little girl had ever seen!
It took Danny a while, but he figured out that Lupin was in the Great Hall. He saw the doors swinging from someone just entering and assumed it was just Dumbles.
"And who are you little girl?" Dumbledore's grandfatherly voice was heard with confusion.
"Me Mindy Riddle," a very familiar voice chirped.
Danny clenched his jaw and slammed the door open. "Melinda Jennifer Riddle! What are you doing here?! Did I not just tell you to stay at the manor with my aunt and uncle while Ren and I made sure Jamie was okay? Oh, and can someone turn the floo off before someone else uses it to get here?"
Danny picked his daughter up and threw her over his shoulder. "Daddy…!" Mindy whined. "I don't wanna go back to those people who won't stop trying to huggle me without you or Mommy there…!"
"Morgana…" Danny muttered before letting her ride on his shoulders. "Sorry about that. Say you're sorry for sneaking in, Mins."
"You're sorry for sneaking in, Mins."
"Of all the things you could pick up from your Uncle Jamie you pick up his smart-assyness…" Danny grumbled under his breath.
"I have a smart ass?" Mindy asked in awe and touched her butt.
"Um…" Danny choked out. He really needed to remember to watch what he said around Mindy.
"Um, love, why is Mindy here…?" asked Serenity cautiously when her mate walked into the Hospital Wing with their daughter on his broad shoulders.
"Me snuck through the floo!" Mindy cheerfully exclaimed as she played with her father's long hair. She was so proud of herself! Mindy was going to celebrate by having a tea party!
"I love how you managed to pick up on our worst traits, hun," Serenity sarcastically said.
"Thanks, Mommy! Is Uncle Jamie okay?"
"Yeah, he just needs to rest and take it easy until he adjusts to the change in power he just experienced."
"Mm… Hey, why is Mindy here?" Harry slurred tiredly.
"Harry!" "Jimmy!" "Uncle Jamie!"
"Stop calling me Jimmy, bastard," Harry said with a smirk to his best mate.
Danny stuck his tongue before blinking a few times. "Harry, mate, uh… you kinda…"
"Uncle Jamie looks diffewent!" Mindy said in awe as she reached over to poke her godfather.
"What?" Harry asked in confusion as he swatted his niece's hand away. Serenity handed him her compact, and the savior took in a sharp breath of air when he saw himself.
His ears were definitely pointed now, and his skin seemed to have a subtle, yellow-gold glow. Harry's eyes had a slight yellow tint now, but the most noticeable differences were that his scar seemed much more prominent and there were jagged streaks of yellow going through his unruly hair.
Harry sat up but was pushed back down gently by Serenity. "Bro-bro, you need to rest until your body has adjusted to you new power level. You know what that means."
"Ren! I need to be able to use magic at the moment!"
"Well, you'll have to deal. You know that."
"But my classes-!"
"I think your teachers would understand, and mage is theory."
"What about my dueling class?"
"Just start off by teaching them dueling stances if you have time left over after going over rules and crap. Remember, Har, you only have to teach that once a week."
"Oh yeah…"
"Harry!" the panicked voice of Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley entered the room.
"Hey, Hermione, you and Harry have the same classes except for my class, right?" Serenity asked.
"Yeah… Is that really important right now?" Hermione said incredulously.
"Yes. Can you make sure he doesn't use magic for the next week? His body needs to adjust and rest."
"Okay…"
"Thanks."
Harry pouted when his girlfriend snatched his wand away and stated primly, "I'm hiding this in my dorm now."
"In your underwear drawer?" Harry asked hopefully.
"No."
Danny snickered under his breath and mumbled, "That's not all where Harry wants to put his wand… Ow…!"
Ginny pulled her hand back with a smug smirk. The vampire prince pouted as he rubbed his now very sore head.
Climax- the coming of age for mages which results in a magical implosion with a possibly fatal backlash; the climax is when the scepter, a mage's focus, is created
