Ch. 2 Meeting his match

"You...You're skull. Your entire body. I-It lit up..."

"On fire, Professor McGonagall." Harry smiled sadly. "To somewhat quote Johnny Blaze, He and I, are the only two who can walk between both worlds. I am the Ghost Rider!" he finished as a matter of fact.

"Demon..." Dumbledore began only to get smacked by Sprout while Neville glared at the elderly man.

He stumbled as she glared and said loudly through gritted teeth, "Did you not hear him? It was the will of God himself who had his Angels place Carter Slades half of Zarathos within him. This is the will of God. That means Mr. Potter cannot be touched. He is the equalizer. Judge, Jury, and most likely Executioner." she said the last as she and the others finally looked at the barer of the Angel of Justice/ Spirit of Vengeance.

"And if you think I am going to let you dishonor and bring shame upon my Godbrothers name, you will have the fight of your life when the House of Longbottom brings Holy Hell upon your head." Neville growled out, his fists curled closed at his side.

Dumbledore looked like he was having an internal battle within himself and the right choice of words to use. He was broken out of his contemplative thinking by Harry.

"Why don't you tell them how you really feel, or even the truth?" Harry said. As he leaned forward after sitting himself on the table itself, looking directly at the Headmaster. His hands were in plain view as he rested his arms on his knee and leaned over.

"I-I'm sorry?" the old man queried, afraid that he knew what the boy referred to.

"Tell them the truth. How your upset that you can no longer control me, like you thought you could when you stole from me with my family accounts until my adopted father stopped it. How you made sure Sirius was sent to Azkhaban instead of showing his innocence within the Wizengamot as you did your Potions Professor. Then sealing my parents wills, to keep them from being read so you can control a broken child, heir of an even greater House and Family than your own. How an illegal marriage contract written up by you and Molly Weasley for me and her daughter, Ginerva was thwarted by me when I sent the ashes of said contract back to you once I was able to handle my vaults. How you've got a bogus prophecy about either me and or Neville Longbottom saying either of us are meant to destroy the Dark Lord Voldemort and how if one of us dies, you'll be there to kill either of us just so you can be in the spotlight again. Let's put it all on the table." Harry said, hissing the last words, his eyes aflame.

"Albus, say it isn't true?" Minerva McGonaghall whispered in horror. But she saw the look in his eyes and knew it to be true as he began to slowly back away from the group of individuals as they saw his look of guilt. He knew he'd been caught and needed to do something about it and fast. He began to back up as Minerva and the other Professors began to pull out their wands. Dumbledore though was quicker as faster than the eye could catch, cast an area wide 'Obliviation' spell on the the other teachers, including one Severus Snape, who quickly caught on to Potter's words and figured that Dumbledore wanted Lily Potter out of the way all along just so he could gain control of the boy. Unfortunately, Dumbledore didn't know that with Harry being part Angel and part human, he and whoever he was in skin to skin contact with would be immune to the mind swiping spell as Harry pulled Luna into his chest while grasping Nevilles shoulder as the mind erasing spell went to work. Or that his spell, amplified by his powerful wand would not wipe his Charms Professors mind either due to his training and heritage.

It was a moment later when Dumbledore quickly placed his wand back into his robe sleeve on his right arm. While the other Professors wore a temporary glazed look, Harry took this moment to raise his own head up since he covered Luna's head with his body. He looked at the other Professors and then Dumbledore, tapped the side of his head while looking at the Headmaster grimly, shook his head, and wagged a finger, letting Dumbledore know neither he nor Luna were affected.

Dumbledore merely scowled as he then began again, "Since this, Caretaker, Mr. Slade has taken over guardianship and removed you and the vault keys from my possession and control, am I to believe.."

"That I have become Emancipated. I did become so the day after my father ascended into the heavens." Harry finished as he looked into the old mans eyes while raising his hand to eye level, revealing his Lordship ring. He then stood up, got in the Headmasters face, and looked Dumbledore in the eyes. "If you think you are going to win this little game, then you are sorely mistaken. Under the power of Zarathos, Caretaker has lived longer than you'd think and was even older than you when he ascended. He too knew chess and taught me well. Question now is, are you sure you want to play this game?"

Dumbledore merely glared, "Then it seems we are at a cross roads." the old man summed up.

"And it seems so, may the best man win." Harry finished as his eyes didn't leave the old mans. He knew Dumbledore could not penetrate his mind, so he had no problem looking the old fool in the eyes.

Harry just smiled and kept eye contact with Dumbledore until the Headmaster took a few steps back and had turned to the Transfiguring Professor, "Ah Minerva, would you be so kind as to hand Ha-"

"Lord Potter!" Harry interrupted.

"Forgive me, Lord Potter. Would you hand the sorting hat to Lord Potter so that he may be sorted?"

"O-Of course Albus." she said as she shook her head and then turned to the staff table, but was stopped by Harry yet again.

"Don't bother Professor." Harry said, not taking his eyes off Dumbledore, showing he wasn't one to be told what to do or where to go. "Hat, or as you prefer, Edward. I'd prefer Ravenclaw since Luna is in that House and I'd rather be near her as her protector and Guardian."

"Harry, you don't..." Luna began.

"No Luna. I do. You're my adopted sister as Neville is our Godbrother. It is both of ours responsibilities to protect you until you can look out for yourself, which will be when you're ready." Harry said as he firmly took Luna's hand into his again when she stood by his side.

Smiling, Luna relented allowing Harry to look back to the hat called Edward, "Well Edward?"

"Only your mother could have told you my name, Mr. Potter." Edward said with a chuckle. "Normally, I would be placed on your head to decide, but since you have a malevolent Vengeance Angel Spirit residing within you, it would be next to impossible to read your mind to decide where to put you without me burning to cinders. As it is, Ravenclaw is what you choose and Ravenclaw it shall be."

"Thanks Ed." Harry said as the signet of House Ravenclaw appeared on Harry's left breast.

"And you are very welcome, Lord Potter."

"Harry, Ed. I'd like to think you and I and whoever else earns my respect can be on first name basis with me."

Chuckling, Edward the hat bowed its tip to the young Lord.

"Filius, I believe I will leave arrangements of Mr. Potter to you since he is now one of yours." Dumbledore said as he clasped his hands behind his back and proceeded to leave, no doubt to plot on how to regain control of Harry.

Harry looked around as the teachers looked at one another and then looked to Snape who merely sneered at Harry, twirled towards the door, his robes billowing as he too began to depart the Main Hall.

"Follow me Mr. Potter, Ms. Lovegood." the diminutive half human half goblin offered.

"Excuse me Professor. But due to my status, I'd like to instead be given a different place to myself and Luna. I want us to be somewhere I can keep an eye on Luna. I believe you call them, Lord quarters. And I'd like Neville here to join us."

"Mr. Potter, are you sure you want to do this?" Professor McGonaghall asked in shock.

"I do Professor. I felt the idiots minds when I entered the Main Hall earlier. A good many of them are near borderline dark from the senior students to the third years, even a few first and second years are much as their Death Eater parents wanted them to be, even young Malfoy and his goons. Then there are the Dumbledore followers who see him as something he is not. Now, I can't promise I won't hurt any of the students in this institution for their sins, let alone crimes on my Luna, so that's why I'm requesting a room for her and myself in the Lord quarters. But just so you know, if any of them cross the line completely, I'll do my job, and remove them from the equation. No if's, and no but's. I don't do second chances when an innocent's blood is shed. As Lucius Malfoy will come to find out when I get my hands on him this week."

Sighing and nodding in understanding, and not liking what Harry has been forced to become, she gave Filius the permission to see Harry's wishes executed. She would handle the rest. The Charms Professor then escorted Harry, Neville, and Luna towards the Ravenclaw tower. He knew of the Lords quarters location, Luna's hand in Harry's. As they walked, the Professor struck up a conversation with Harry, "So Mr. Potter, there are two Riders?"

"There is." Harry confirmed.

"I wonder how your Parents would react to that."

"Well, I have the only portrait of them, though I had made extra portraits for so I could interact with them every chance I can, no matter where I go. Though they're not my parents exactly, they have enough of my parents essence in them that when they found out the offer of me being the new vessel of Zarathos, they were honored that God and St. Michael honored me with a chance to right many wrongs and to seek justice for my families destruction and the same for those wronged by Voldemort and his minions."

"Headmaster Dumbledore didn't really erase your memories did he Professor?" Luna asked.

Filius Flitwick paused in mid-step and turned to the young girl. He smiled, showing off his somewhat jagged teeth, "And how did you know that, My Dear?"

"It's supposed to be impossible to erase the mind of a Goblin, let alone a half-Goblin Undefeated Duelist champion." Neville said with a smirk.

"Luna has been blessed or cursed, however one looks at it. She see's and knows things no one else could possibly know." Harry said with his arm around Luna's shoulders. "She hides this fact about herself when she begins speaking as she does. If people saw and knew what she knew, they'd go insane. As is, that is one of the reasons I am so over protective of her."

"Hmm." the Professor thought out loud, continuing to look forward as he escorted the young Potter Lord. "You have a keen eye, Ms. Lovegood. And a most perceptive view of the world and your surroundings. Yes, despite his attempt to erase my memories as he did my colleagues, he failed. My mind is protected from such attempts as I am much more powerful than he is, and I am an undefeated Dueling Champion. My skills in mind magics is greater than his own as I am half-human and half-goblin. My fathers people would not accept anything less where it concerns protecting my mind and person."

"You're not going to act on what you have learned about the Headmaster?" Harry asked.

"That's not my responsibility, Mr. Potter. It's yours. As the party wronged by Albus, you have more rights to act on what wrongs he's perpetrated against you and your family as your families a lot older and wealthier than even Albus would like to believe."

"True. So, if there should be time, would you like to hear some more stories about Caretaker and the 'boy' he brought up?" he asked as the small group stopped before a door.

"Actually, yes. I am also interested in hearing how you and Luna first met." he said as he turned to a portrait/door with a Raven on the portrait, resting on a branch with a blue sky background. "This is your personal quarters Mr. Potter and Ms. Lovegood. I'll make sure the House Elves see to your personal belongings." he said looking to the young witch with a look akin to shame. "For what it's worth, I am ashamed of my Ravens and will deal with them as soon as our business is concluded here. Is there a password you wish to use Mr. Potter?"

Harry looked thoughtful for a moment before he then asked, "Is it possible to add another room, as I think Neville and I need a lot of time to catch up on."

"Oh, you don't need to worry about me, Harry..." Neville tried before being interrupted.

"Actually, I think I do. Especially with how that wand in your pocket is a bad fit."

"My Grandmother thinks Dads wand will be enough for me."

"And we think otherwise, Neville." Luna replied, jumping into the conversation. "After all, it doesn't match you and is only holding you back from your true potential. Only a matching wand will work appropriately for you."

Seeing he was not going to win this battle of wills, the Scion of Longbottom nodded in defeat with a small blush. Harry in the meantime smiled at his Godbrother and sister, turned towards the door before him, and spoke softly to the image of the Raven in a language that neither Luna, Neville, nor Filius understood, the language spoken apparently the new password into the empty dorm. The Raven must have understood him, as it nodded and the portrait opened to the side. He turned to see looks of confusion on Luna and the Professors face, and smiled sheepishly, "Forgive me, I spoke in the language of the Heavens, a language most commonly known as Enochian and is rarely heard in human tongue. What I said was 'Fortune favors the bold!' in Enochian."

"Oh, I get it, because of the ears surrounding us where the portraits are concerned." Luna stated as a fact. Even she knew that Dumbledore used them as his eyes and ears as whatever the portraits viewed, would surely get back to the Headmaster in some form or another. By speaking in this language, Dumbledore would not be able to understand it, so he could not speak it. Only Harry and a few chosen others would be blessed with the ability to speak this language. Luna would be given this gift when Harry returned to their room later this night.

"Exactly. Professor, there will be times where I will need to disappear in order to go about my business outside of this school, and I'm afraid that might include within the school as well. There's a good chance Lucius Malfoy will want to pay this school a visit and try to pay me back for assaulting his son. As is, with this diary in my possession," he said as he pulled it from within his jackets inner pocket, "I am within my full rights to burn Mr. Malfoy's soul from his body for his crimes and attempt at bringing harm upon Ginny Weasley, and the other students of this school. His time is over should he and I meet."

"Mr. Potter, I'm not sure it's my place to tell you what to do seeing as you are one of two individuals who are Ghost Riders. Just please, I implore you, don't do it in front of his son Draco or his wife Narcissa, if you can."

"I can make no promises, sir. Anyway, tomorrow Neville and I are going to need a pass to leave the school."

"For?"

Having entered the room and was looking around and using his sight to ensure none of the portraits with any listening charms and such, Harry gave a bare minimum of what he intended to do, "Neville needs a new wand. As I said, I can sense that the one he carries is not a match and I need him to set up a meeting between he, his grandmother, and I. I will then personally be paying the Ministry a visit to force the Minister to free my Godfather from Azkhaban."

"Godfather?" he queried.

"You'll read about it in the Daily Prophet newspaper in two days. Luna, needs to stay here, get some rest, and I want Neville here to keep her company. There's something else I need to take care of." turning to slightly look at his Godbrother, "Neville, I need you to stay here with Luna until I return."

"I can do that Harry."

"Good man. Professor, care to join me?" he asked as he held out a hand towards the outer hall.

"Of course." the diminutive Charms Professor answered as Harry kissed his adopted sister on the forehead after she nodded with a soft smile and then turned to shake his Godbrothers hand. Then both Professor and student walked out and about until they came to a corridor on the seventh floor. With the tapestry that hid it removed and using his enhanced sight, he saw what appeared to be a portal hiding within a wall. But it had many enchantments that kept it hidden. Since he had time, he studied it while the Charms Professor struck up a conversation.

Wondering why Harry was standing and looking at a blank wall, Flitwick asked, "Why are we here, Mr. Potter?"

"There's a portal here. The diary led me here. I need to know why. Because if I'm right, I may have partially solved why Riddle was here last year and isn't dead like he should be."

"Riddle?"

"Thomas Marvolo Riddle. His alias was Lord Voldemort. When I became the next Rider, it was said that Riddle, the night he attacked and murdered my parents, lost his body due to some ancient form of Mathematical Runes and equations written on both my crib and my body by my mother in order to power a powerful enough shield to save me, but it required a sacrifice. In this case, my mothers life energy. She died, so I could live. When Michael visited me after I was older and had been with Caretaker since that night Dumbledore, Hagrid, and Professor McGonaghal left me on the Dursley's doorstep, I had already known what it was I was being prepared for. The one thing needed to make the transfer successful, was for me to swear to find Voldemort and end him. I had come to learn what Riddle did to himself as Michael then put my adopted fathers half of Zarathos within me. As he did, the moment I began to transform for the first time, a black, cloud-like substance with a red eyes came pouring out of my scar and burned until nothing remaining, with my scar fading until it was barely noticeable a few seconds later as well. I'd later study books on soul magics and learn what not to do as well as the consequences if one was to ignore the books warnings."

"What did you find out?" The Professor asked, somewhat shaken. No Goblin, even a Half-Goblin dared dabble in Soul Magics as they considered it too dark and disgusting. If Riddle, or Voldemort, or whatever he called himself had indeed committed such an act, then it would explain why it was almost impossible to stop him those many years ago.

"Horcruxes!" was Harry's answer.

Filius paled even more than he already had. He'd heard of such things from his fathers people and began to feel sick. He would have collapsed if he hadn't made a decision. After all, Lily Evans was his favorite pupil. He felt he owed it to her to end the threat as soon as possible because as it stood, there was a good chance Voldemort would attempt a return unless even the Devil got to him first, making it that harder for Harry to stop him, that is if the Devil found out and already knew what was going on. The tiny Professor shuddered to think of what kind of deal the Devil would make with the Dark Lord.

"You said Vol-Riddle was here last year?" he asked.

Harry nodded as he studied the enchantments of the hidden portal, "I have more than several business ventures outside of the Magical World that I am invested in that has seen me become the most wealthiest Wizard within Magical Britain and possibly the world. I was there when someone broke into Gringotts. Making his escape after being chased by a handful of armed Goblins, the wizard then shot off a bludgeoning charm that caused a cave-in. While the escape was successful, a young male Goblin child was caught in the blast as his father was killed. The father was showing his son what he did when the cave-in occurred. The goblin boy fell somewhat, his father wasn't so lucky having fell into the dark abyss of Gringott's cave system. But the youngling managed to cling onto the wall a bit until I got there. Being the Rider with a supernatural control of my chains, I rescued him. The entire time I spent with the Goblin family of the boy, I had come to learn that the vault the wizard attempted to rob was already emptied earlier that day by your Rubeus Hagrid, a special stone I believed it was. Contrary to what you believe, I was here last year when I tracked the murderer to Hogwarts. Being skilled in how to stick to the shadows like my father taught me, I saved the girl, Hermione Granger from the Troll. Remember how she couldn't remember anything about what happened to the Troll?"

Filius nodded.

"I learned a special technique some years ago, that if you push a certain pressure point in the side of a persons neck, they'd fall unconscious. Not being qualified to erase her memories with an Obliviation Charm, I instead hit the pressure point, knocking her unconscious. I rendered the beast unconscious as well when I wrapped my chains around its neck and with my Supernatural strength, pulled the chains side to side, bashing its head several times into the walls."

"That's why there was such a mess in the stall with large indents in the walls." Filius surmised in shock.

"Indeed." Harry chuckled. "Anyway, I got out of there fast and magically locked the bathroom. I was in the ceiling rafters outside the bathroom when you and the others arrived to find the Troll down and out. Unfortunately, a set of twins found out about me being in the school. But once I told them who I was, they understood and abetted me by staying quiet, especially since they had and still have my fathers map. They were only too happy to aid the son of Prongs. They've been on my side and remained quiet where I am concerned, right boys?"

Harry turned his head to the left as Filius did a double-take. On his left, there was a shimmer, and then a parting of fabric that then showed two somewhat tall redheads with matching grins. "Hello Harry ol' boy. "

"Been a few weeks."

"That is has, Gred, Forge. How's my investment with you two coming?" he asked as one of the twins rolled up the fabric that was now revealed to be an invisibility cloak.

"Swell, Harry ol' chap." one began.

"Especially since you opened those vaults for us and Ginny." the other finished.

"Well, you did make sure she wasn't in on your mother and Dumbledores plans and made sure she wouldn't be." Harry said.

"True, once we explained to her the consequences of the situation and with Father being in the know, she realized listening to mum and the Headmaster could hurt her in the future."

"Speaking of, father says that he's thankful of what you did in getting him that much better paying job."

"Add in the fact that you sent him all those books to sort of learn from the muggle world, especially with the cars and planes."

"Even the rubber duck and toy catalogs you sent him has him gushing like a child in a candy store."

"Let me guess, he's playing with the toys and attempting to bring them to life?" Harry asked.

"Yep, he just can't help himself at the 'Toys R Us' store you got him hired at."

"Drives mum up the wall."

"And Ginny can't help but play with some of what dad brings in."

"Just so long as he remembers to pay for it. We don't need him to get fired or arrested for stealing. I saw you guys have terrorized most of Hogwarts last year and reintroduced it to the return of the Marauders. Even my family cloak has aided you well."

The twins grinned their evils grins with pride. "So, Harry ol' friend,"

"What are we doing here?" Both Weasley sons asked as they looked from Harry to the wall.

Harry didn't answer right away as he was just finishing reading the walls enchantments and smiled, "So, that's how they did it?" he whispered.

"Did what?" one of the twins asked.

"Stand here." Harry said as he backed up and then began to pace left and right several times. The Professor and twins looked at him confused for a moment until a grating sound drew their attention back to the wall as a wooden door began to take form.

"Ho-How did you do that?"

"The door. The enchantments on it has it where you have to literally think three times while walking the way I did, for what you want." Harry answered as he walked around them and stood in front of the door and looked it over.

"And what did you ask it for?" Filius asked.

"A room to hide things in." Was Harry's sudden answer as he grabbed the handle on the door and pulled. Walking in with the others following him, Harry's eyes widened with awe. The room was literally a treasure trove. Books, cauldrons, vials filled with various potions and liquids, statues, brooms, even gold, silver, and bronze coins littered the room for yards. There were many other things, but Harry didn't have time to look around unlike the twins, as he took out the diary, "Talk to me, where's your other piece, you bastard?"

Using his mage sight, he looked and saw where the diary's tether began to link up as he followed it to a heavy stack of books. His mother would hate him for what he was about to do as he knocked them down, causing a bit of dust to rise, where he was forced to wave his free hand to have the dust go elsewhere. His eyes then landed on a diadem that was on the head of a statue of a man. He raised the diary as it began to shake, as did the diadem. "Gotcha'." He looked around until he found a small box, too small for the diadem. With a wave of his hand, he both summoned and cleansed it and then lengthened it and made it a few inches bigger.

He'd seen a picture of Rowena Ravenclaw's portrait before and knew what the diadem was. He had no wish to destroy the priceless artifact. He summoned the tiara to his hands and walked to the front of the room. With a push of his magic, he cleared the floor around him. He gently set the diary and tiara on the floor. This entire time, Filius didn't take his eye's off of the Potter Lord. But the moment he saw the tiara, he froze. "Mr. Potter, that's the Ravenclaw Diadem. What are you going to do with it?"

"Just watch. Fred, George." Harry called out.

"You only call us by our names when its serious Harry." Fred said as he came around a pile of cauldrons.

"That's because it is, George." Fred said as he looked at the objects on the floor after following his brother.

"Get behind me boy's." Harry said. When they did as he ordered, he began the summoning as he spread his hands and arms out, creating a summoning pentagram under the two objects. "In the name of God, show yourself, Thomas Marvolo Riddle."

Both objects began to quiver in their places on the floor until both then spewed huge black smoke-like clouds above the objects. They began to then merge into a single entity, "I have.."

"Oh for the love of God, Shut up!" Harry growled. The cloud began to try and fly around but found it could not escape what appeared to be a temporary prison-like field of magical energy, not knowing that it was because it was caught in a pentagram seel as Harry then took his Ghost Rider form. "Thomas Riddle, your soul is stained by the blood of the innocent. Prepare to feel their pain, a thousandfold."

Fred and George Weasley as well as Filius Flitwick fell to the floor on their backs in shock and fear after the cloud rose from the tiara and book. They gazed in shock at what they were seeing as the cloud began to speak until Harry's words cut him off and deepened as he shifted into his Ghost Rider form. After he spoke his condemning of the cloud-like spirit, a chain flew from one of his arms and into his flaming skeletal hands. "Time to burn." With a yank, the chains lit up in flames as if super heated, throwing his arm back, the chain followed as he then shot it forward and began to whirl it in midair, laughing in triumph, even if partial. The cloud then began to scream as it lit on fire and began to be sucked into the fiery tornado Harry had created with the chain, dissolving into ashes in the process until it was no more. A minute later, and it was over as Harry stopped twirling the chain, canceling the tornado. With a flick of his arm and wrist, the chain no longer on fire or superheated, then wrapped around Harry's shoulder and chest. Vanishing the Pentagram, Harry shifted back to his human form, picked up the book and pocketed it. The box he had altered and had been put and left on a stack of books then flew into his outstretched hands. Opening it, Harry also picked up the tiara. As he placed it into the box, the ghost of a woman came into being before he and the others.

"Rider of God, you have done my family and I a great service." The visage of the woman said.

"Who are you?" Harry asked, his head barely turned to face her.

"I am Helena Ravenclaw, also known as the Gray Lady of House Ravenclaw. Daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw. Many years ago, the boy you call Riddle spoke and made as if he would befriend me. He charmed me enough to reveal the location of my mothers treasure. When he tainted it and betrayed me, I hoped for someone like you to undo his evil. And you did. I thank you."

"You are welcome, My Lady. With your permission, I'll give this to Professor Flitwick to keep safe." Harry said as he turned and reverently handed the box to the Professor. The Gray Lady then stood before Harry and kissed his cheek, causing him to shiver somewhat, though he tried not to blush. She then turned with a smile and disappeared.

"Well, that was fun."

"Quite right, Gred."

"Indubitably, Forge."

"This room shows promise." Harry said as he looked around. "Too bad it's too late in the night." Harry then yawned and rubbed his eyes tiredly.

"Mr. Potter is right, we have all had a long day. We need rest. You may return here tomorrow to catalog everything as I will leave a notice for you both that you both may be free from classes Mr. Weasley and Mr. Weasley. But only on the promise that you keep this between us four. In so doing, what money you find, it's yours" Filius said with a stern look and a downward tilt of the head so they saw his eyes.

The Weasley twins then both turned to one another as if silently speaking to each other. A few moments they turned to with a shit eating grin, "Deal!" both said at the exact same time.

Looking back to Harry, he saw that Harry had found a book that was in his hands. He was touching the books cover tenderly, a tear falling from his left eye, "Mr. Potter, is everything alright?"

"I-It's one of my mothers diaries. She said she had lost it one day when she accidentally found this room. She never was able to find it again. If you guys do find anything in here that has anything to do with my family, you'll save it for me right?" he asked as he ran an arm over his eyes to dry his tears.

"Yeah, sure Harry. Anything belonging to the Potters or Peverells will always be yours."

"What he said Harry."

Sniffling, he nodded, "Thanks guys."

The four individuals then left the room, not seeing the two spirits that appeared as the door closed, "Three down, Lily."

"Four to go, James." She said as the spirit of Lily Potter-Evans leaned into her husbands arms.

"It won't be much longer." James said as he tightened his hold on his wife.

"No it won't be. Not with the coming tribulations he and the others will face with the monsters from within Earth and without. But he can do it. He has begun making his allies."

"And he'll make even more. Come, it's time to go back."

"Good luck, my beloved Harry." she said as she and James disappeared back into the heavens. Should they have watched from outside of the door, they would have seen Harry pause, as if sensing them and shedding a few more tears and smiling.

The next day, Harry reminded Filius he had business with the Ministry of Magic and Amelia Bones. He let Harry use his 'Floo system', watching as Harry disappeared into the green flames, but not before promising him that he'd finish the story he started last night about the year before and the events between Riddle and he. Meanwhile Fred and George Weasley returned to the hidden room and began to process everything within it.

Harry had given Luna an interview upon his return to his room that night that would be printed within he fathers newspaper, 'the Quibbler'. By the time he would leave the Ministry of Magic with a very much shaken Minister of Magic and angered Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the entirety of Magical Britain would know of Sirius Blacks innocence. The twins of course would have Harry a special present waiting for Harry outside of whatever they'd found within the secret hidden room.
