Harry Potter and the Power of Anger
Chapter two
-Dumbledore-
Albus Dumbledore looked in awe at his honorary grandson watching how his body was slowly changing, it started with his wrists, first the open wound sealed itself before the two scars shifted and became the runes of power. Followed by this his body began to grow and expand, muscle appearing on his body as years of damage was corrected. Then he seemed to age until his body was that of a man in his mid twenties. Finally his eyes began to glow and emerald green like his irises runes representing anger appeared in his pupils until his glasses shattered from the power they gave off before the light faded.
"Harry?" he asked tentatively, almost afraid of what he would say.
Smiling the raven haired teen turned to him, "Hi grandpa," he said "I know you have questions so how about you and I go up to your office so I can answer them.".
"I would like to hear these for myself." Cornelius Fudge piped up as he started slack jawed at Harry.
"Very well." Harry shrugged before the group walked with others tagging along behind. By the time that they had reached his office they were joined by Minerva, Severus, Alaster Moody, Kingsley Shacklebolt, and Tiberius Croaker who was the new head of the Department of Mysteries. After introductions had been made for Harry's benefit Harry asked "Okay so I'm guessing you all wish to know what is going on?" Harry asked them.
"That would be nice Harry." he said as his grandson leaned back in his chair, "Let's start with how you survived the basilisk poison.".
"Oh no I did die from it…" Harry began before he was cut off by Fudge.
"He used Dark Magic!" he yelled pointing at Harry as he shot to his feet, "Aurors arrest him!".
"Sit down you incompetent fool." Harry yelled back and the runes in his eyes glowed with his anger. Once the cowed minister was in his chair he continued "Now if there will not be any more interruptions," at this he glared at Fudge who gulped "I suggest that you just ask the questions under veritaserum so that he won't accuse me of lying.".
Almost immediately Severus pulled a vial of clear liquid out of his pocket getting many raised eyebrows in his direction "What?!" he demanded "I'm a potions master so I always carry around useful potions.".
Quickly three drops of the potion were placed on Harry's tongue and his eyes glazed over apart from the runes which unnerved those in the room. "What is your name?" he asked.
"Harry James Potter.".
"When were you born?".
"July 31, 1980.".
"Did you die earlier today?".
"Yes.".
"Dark Magic." Fudge muttered before he was silenced by Minerva.
"Did you use Dark Magic to do so?".
"No.".
"How did you come back?".
"I was told that I had a piece of Voldemort's soul in my scar from Halloween 1981 that was able to go to the afterlife instead of me this time.".
"Who told you this?" Dumbledore asked confused.
"Death and Magic." Harry said and an uproar began in the office which blocked out the gasp from the hallway.
"What do you mean Death and Magic?" Fudge demanded.
"I met the embodiment of Death and Magic where I was given the choice of coming back stronger or go on to the afterlife.".
"You attempted to commit suicide though so why decide to come back?" Kingsley asked confused.
"I was warned that Voldemort would return and that according to a prophecy only I can beat him.".
"He's not back!" Fudge yelled.
"I said he was coming back not that he is." Harry calmly stated.
"How are you stronger?" Alaster demanded almost hungrily.
"I have the powers of the first four." Harry said making those in the room pale but an 'eep' was heard from the hallway.
Pointing his wand at the door it opened to reveal Ms. Granger and the youngest Mr. Weasley eavesdropping, "What are you doing?" Severus demanded speaking for the first time in the entire questioning.
"We…uh…I mean." Ms. Granger stammered while Mr. Weasley just stood there.
"Come in you two you might as well hear the rest of it." Minerva groused and the two shuffled in.
"Your punishments for eavesdropping will be decided later." he warned the two before he turned back to Harry.
"Are you new powers the reason you have aged and your body changed?".
"Yes my Metamorphomagus powers aged me but Magic and Death healed my body.".
"Did you discuss anything else with Lady Magic of Lord Death?" he asked.
"Yes.".
"What you discuss?" Minerva asked rubbing her temples at his simple answer.
"They quasi adopted me as Lady Magic, or Hecate, has decided she is my new mum while Lord Death, or Thanatos, is my immature man-child Uncle D.".
"Immature man-child?" Severus asked blankly.
"He has the pranking disposition of a Marauder." this made all those in the know pale.
Suddenly he got a wicked idea, "Harry is Peter Pettigrew still alive?" this got odd looks from all those except Mr. Weasley and Ms. Granger.
"Yes.".
"What?!" all of the others assembled yelled.
"Did Sirius Black betray your parents?".
"No.".
"Who did?".
"Peter Pettigrew.".
"How do you know?".
"He admitted it to me himself last year.".
"How did he hide these many years?".
"He is an illegal rat animagus who pretended to be the Weasley's pet rat Scabbers.".
"Just to make it clear did you enter yourself in the Tri-Wizard tournament?".
"No.".
"I believe that is everything that needs to be asked?" he said looking at the rest of the assembled people who were nodding except for the two eavesdroppers.
"Were you really going to ask me to be your girlfriend?" Ms. Granger asked quickly.
"Yes.".
"Is there any chance of you forgiving us?" she pleaded as she cried.
"No, you declared me dead to you but now you are dead to me." he said as the girl fell to the ground in tears.
Severus administered the antidote as Harry stretched, "Professor Dumbledore I would like to request a private dorm for the rest of my stay at Hogwarts. The Gryffindor common room has been sealed against me and I don't trust to sleep in there.".
"That sound reasonable." he said as Minerva glared at the two lions in the corner, "Is there anywhere in particular that you had in mind?.".
"I was thinking of turning the Chamber of Secrets into an area where I could train with my new powers and set up quarters down there." Harry said.
"I see no problem with that." he said and when nobody disagreed he turned back towards his grandson.
"Is there anything else you wished to ask Harry?".
"Yes three things," he said "first is that I assume that my godfather Sirius will be cleared Minister Fudge?" he said this less like a question and more like a demand as he gave the cowering politician a hard look as he nodded quickly. "Second is that I will agree to not reveal to the public that you tried to have me arrested and avoid spreading panic about Voldemort while you subtly prepare for his coming in exchange for something.".
"What do you want?" Fudge groaned.
"I know that the first raw magic users experimented by with it and created different magical species and I would like ten dementors given to me so I can use them for an experiment I wish to try.".
"Fine." Fudge grumbled like a petulant child.
"And the last thing Harry?" he asked.
"I wish to leave the grounds for a few days to run some errands," Harry said "I have knowledge of my powers from Mum but I still need to sort through it all.".
"That will be perfectly fine Harry." he assured the boy as they all left the office.
Once they reached the third floor a white blur shot past them and landed on Harry's shoulder and started rubbing her head against his furiously, "Hey girl," Harry said gently as he stroked her feathers "sorry about what happened but I promise to not do something like that again alright?". The white owl bobbed her head and then glared at Mr. Weasley and Ms. Granger before flying over their heads and releasing some droppings. "Good girl Hedwig!" Harry laughed happily as the owl seemed to puff up with pride.
Severus turned towards him "Can I award point to an owl?" he asked.
"Not unless we sort her into a house." he responded. Turning towards his grandson he said "Well Harry here we are and I wish you luck on your errands." before leading the group off.
-Harry-
Walking down the new staircase to the chamber he closed the entrance behind him but grimaced when he got to the ground, "Dobby!" he called out and with a pop the excitable little house elf appeared.
"What can Dobby be doing for yous sir?" he asked bouncing before he slipped in a puddle of slime on the ground.
"My new quarters are going to be down here so I was wondering if you could help me clean this place up and find any entrances or useful items down here." he said and the small creature looked like he had offered him the Holy Grail.
"Dobby gets to clean all of this for the Great Harry Potter sir?" he asked reverently and when he nodded started laughing hysterically and shot off as a blur leaving a path of clean in his wake.
Turning towards his owl who looked as disturbed as he was he said "Remind me never to get in the way of that elves cleaning." which got eager nods form Hedwig. Walking along until he got to the main chamber he walked in and found a bed and some chairs near the basilisk corpse along with a clean patch of floor. "Damn that elf works fast." he muttered as he sat down on the bed. Looking at Hedwig he had a thought, the power of raw magic was often used to create magical species such as the veela in ancient times when the last person had the ability but they couldn't change the beings species too greatly as they had to stay the same basic species. But if he combined it with his dire powers he could change any creature into another, even recreate extinct species.
"Hedwig," he said making the owl turn towards him "can you understand what I tell you?" he asked and she bobbed her head. "I want to know if you wanted me to do something special to you?". At this she looked at him quizzically, "I have new powers and I could give you a new form such as a 'dire phoenix', the queen of all phoenixes.". At this her amber eyes widened before she nodded excitedly.
Calmly focusing his power into his hands he placed his hands on Hedwig and poured his power into her silently hoping it would work. After a moment she started to glow softly which increased until the light was blinding. When the light died away in her place was a twenty five year old very beautiful, very naked woman. "Yikes!" he exclaimed as he covered his eyes.
"H-h-harry?" she stuttered trying to get used to her voice, "What did you do to me?".
"I made it so you could turn into a human form Hedwig." he said still not looking at her.
"Why aren't you looking at me?" she asked confused, "Am I ugly?" at this she sounded worried.
"No Hedwig it's not that." he assured her "It's just…well…you're naked.".
"So?" she asked confused.
"Most humans don't walk around naked and you only allow people to see you naked if you have no choice, are a lover, or some other reason." he said.
"You mean like mates?" she asked confused.
"Exactly!" he said happy that she got it.
"Well you are my Harry and I say you are my mate so uncover your eyes." she said with finality as she yanked his hands away from his eyes.
As soon as his hands had moved there was a flash of light and she was clothed and a note appeared in front of the which read:
Dear Harry,
Brilliant idea that you had giving Hedwig a human form I am most impressed. I altered your powers so that every time you do this, should you ever do it again, the person will appear in clothing appropriate to them.
Love you,
Mum
A.K.A. Hecate
"Lady magic gave you the clothes." he said before he turned to Hedwig and took her appearance in. She had shoulder length pure black hair and amber eyes to go with flawless alabaster skin. Her clothes consisted of knee high black high heeled boots, and tight form form-fitting black dress without sleeves. All in all she was breathtakingly beautiful. "Wow." he said as he stared at her.
She giggled happily at him, "Am I pretty?" she asked and he nodded dumbly before she gave him a quick kiss, "Good answer. Now let's explore our new home.".
And they started to wander around before he had an idea, moving in front of the statue of Salazar Slytherin he said "Speak to me Salazar, greatest of the Hogwarts four!" making the passageway open up. Walking through he found inside a large nest like area and a door at the far end which, upon opening it, turned out to be a massive library. Walking over to a book that was on a pedestal he found a book of snake breading rituals that Salazar Slytherin had been working on, he had done the one to create the basilisk and bind it to his descendants but he had never finished the last one. It read in the book that if a person took the corpse of a basilisk, blood of a phoenix, and the power of a user of raw magic then they could create a lamia loyal to them.
"Let's try it Harry!" Hedwig exclaimed as she read the book over his shoulder.
"Are you sure?" he asked and when she nodded he sighed in acquiesce and walked back out. When he got to the corpse he pulled out a knife he found by the book and turned to Hedwig, "It says blood of a phoenix but I'm not sure if you have to be in your phoenix form or not so…". Nodding in understanding she concentrated for a moment before she slowly shifted until she was a phoenix about half again the size of Fawkes but pitch black with white markings and amber eyes. "Beautiful in both forms." he muttered getting a happy trill from the bird before he made a careful cut and collected the spilled blood. Hedwig quickly changed back and cried once on the cut to make it close while she watched him work.
He drew the necessary runes around and on the basilisk's corpse before pouring his raw magic into the runes and saying the chant to begin the ritual only altering it to give the soon to be lamia a human form like Hedwig. After five minutes of changing the runes ignited and burst into light. When it faded a being lay before him looking dazed. From the waist down she had the tail of a serpent with scales the same color as the basilisk's had been but form the waist up she was a woman who looked like the same age as he and Hedwig were. She had shoulder honey blonde hair that was curled, brown eyes, soft looking white skin, and a, the hormonal teenage part of his mind noted, rather impressive chest that was covered by a tight pink tank top. "Hello master." she said almost immediately as she rose up, "How may I serve you?".
"For now you need a name." he said as he sat down on the couch next to Hedwig while the nameless lamia slithered in front of them. Noticing this he said "Just so you know I have you a human for so if you concentrate you can turn your snake tail into a pair of human legs.".
She concentrated for a moment before the tail turned to legs and she wore a pair of white mini-shorts. Jumping up and down excitedly she quickly sat down next to him "Thank you master." she said contentedly.
"Please don't call me master and we still need to think of a name for you." he said. After a few moments of thought he asked "How does Larana sound?".
"Larana?" the lamia tested out the sound of the name before smiling "Thank you ma… what do I call you if I can't call you master?" she asked almost pouting at the end.
"Harry," he chuckled amused "and this is Hedwig." he finished gesturing at Hedwig who waved. "Dobby!" he called out and the little elf appeared.
"yes Master Harry Potter Sir?" he asked happily even though he was covered from head to toe in muck.
"How come he gets to call you Master?" Larana pouted.
"One moment Dobby," he said to the elf before turning to the pouting Lamia "If I give you a kiss will you feel better?" he asks which got a smile and nod while Hedwig giggled. Leaning down he gave her a light kiss before she grabbed his head and started kissing him harder. Once she was final finished she sat back smiling as if nothing had happened. Shaking his head he turned back to the elf, "Okay Dobby this is Larana and Hedwig. We're going to be doing some errands for a few days and may or may not be returning her to sleep at night so if you are looking for us be prepared. Oh and don't call me master." he said with the last part added as an afterthought.
"Yes sir Harry Potter sir!" the elf saluted before vanishing with a crack.
Shaking his head at the elf's antics he turned to the two women "Shall we go?" he asked and when they nodded they joined hands and vanished in a burst of black fire.
