A Greater Evil

By The Game.

The first two parts outline the contents of Harry's books. They are seperated by a line (hopefully). R+R please! I don't have a review yet! Let's change that.

The Books of Advanced and Ancient Charms, Spells, and Hexes

By Alberic Grunnion, 1324

Translated and modernized by Albus Dumbledore

Important excerpts from the text follow:

"Each person has a unique amount of energy. Magical energy is used to cast spells. Use up all of your energy and you shall be unable to act normally. You will be quite open to attack…

"Different spells consume different amounts of energy. The spells are sorted into groups, with the first being least powerful and last being the most…

"Group I

Healing: Heal the Target's wounds. Say 'Elrondor'

Confusion: Confuses the Target. 'Somos Tonto'

Flames: Flames that may only be put out by magic water. 'Calor'

Magic Water: Put out Flames. Refreshing to drink. 'Mar'

Wind: Modify the speed, direction, or temperature of the wind. 'Viento'

Armor: Create some armor to wear. 'Armador'

Freeze: Surround the target with ice. 'Aguafria'

Dispel: Everyone knows this spell, but it's so important that it's here anyway. Removes most spells. 'Finite Incantatem'

Fog: Send thick black smoke out of the wand. 'Bio'

Group II

Protector: Summon a magical shield which blocks everything, save Slytherin's Dark Curses. 'Magus Patronum'

Wall: Bounces back curses. May break under heavy pressure. Not as strong as Protector. 'Rimbalzare'

Sluggishness: Slow Target's movements. Lasts for 2 hours or until dispelled with speed. 'Despacium'

Apparation: Warp to another place instantly. Easy to learn but hard to master and easy to mess up. Say 'Salio' while concentrating on target.

Flame Wind: The wind speed and temperature increases, scorching the opponent. 'Ember Viento'

Storm: Create a thunderstorm. Torrential rain and winds. 'Maltiempo'

Hail: Massive hailstones pelt the opponent.

Flame Wall: Create a massive wall of flames

Extreme Speed: Target's movements become quicker. Last for two hours unless dispelled with Sluggishness. 'Prisus'

Memory Charm: Modifies a person's memory to as you want it. May destroy someone's memory. 'Oblivitate'

Group III

Confundus Charm: Force the target to believe what you say. 'Confundus'

Patronus: Ward off or kill Dark forces, such as dementors. 'Expecto Patronum'

Eliminate senses: Ceases target's hearing, vision, and smell. Easy to block, though. 'Extremo Vista'

Bolt: Fry the opponent with a lightning bolt from the heavens. They'll never know what hit 'em. 'Foudre'

Sharp Ice: Sharp pieces of ice flay towards the opponent. 'Fridagra'

Flood: Create a massive tidal wave from any water source. 'Agundara'

Flame Tornado: Send swirling flames to engulf the opponent.

Mega Blast: Create massive explosions. 'Combus Humos'

Group IV

Force: Control the movements of anything with mind power. Just concentrate on controlling the object. The most difficult and draining spell in these pages. Good luck mastering it. The Force will be with you. Always, er, hopefully…"



The Book of Secrets

by Harold Binns

"A note on the text

I am NOT the Hogwarts Professor Binns. Mention this book to him and he will be infuriated. He does not believe in this sort of thing, so I have a lot of opposition in the magical history community, as he is the "guru" of magical history. It is unfortunate that we share the same name.

"The Hogwarts Four

Salazar Slytherin

The Chamber of Secrets. Slytherin's most famous creation. Upon leaving Hogwarts, Slytherin created a chamber containing a fabled monster which was to eliminate the Muggle-born students when released by the heir. The heir was to share a gift of the Slytherin family. Opened in 1945 and 1992, the Chamber was finally sealed by Harry Potter. The heir was revealed to be Tom Marvolo Riddle, now known as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and the monster was a basilisk.

Slytherin also had a secret living quarters and office in Hogwarts which he created to ensure his privacy. He is said to have left a small spell book filled with powerful spells in this room. His wand is also said to be in this room.

Slytherin was a master with knives and daggers. His custom knives are also located inside his living quarters. They are reportedly forged with the Dark Arts and only a truly Dark wizard could wield them correctly.

Godric Gryffindor

The Sword of Gryffindor. Said to be forged with pure light energy by the father of Merlin, this sword is encrusted with rubies in the hilt and is extremely long and heavy. It is made of the ancient red rock, Dreamstone, providing it with extra power. Its power is said to be unmatched. The only person who used one hand to wield it is Gryffindor himself.

Gryffindor also left his custom spell book in Hogwarts. However, it was not left in his living quarters. It was placed with Ravenclaw's and Hufflepuff's books in the secret library of the Headmaster. Gryffindor's spells are very difficult to use and only Gryffindor was brave enough to risk his life by using them. Although he was not an extremely powerful wizard, Gryffindor's innovative spells and powerful sword made him a very talented dueler.

Rowena Ravenclaw

Ravenclaw's crossbow. Ravenclaw was able to forge a custom crossbow that could fire arrows with greater accuracy and velocity than any other. Her arrows were forged with a sacred power that could easily slay and dark foe. It was forged with hair of hippogriff and the ancient metal, Mythril.

Ravenclaw left her spellbook with Gryffindor's. Her spells concentrated on focusing the mind. Her spells could also affect the mind of the opponent.

Helga Hufflepuff

Hufflepuff did not believe in weapons. She does not have a legendary offensive weapon. She carried a light Mythril rod with her at all times for self defense only. If someone attacked, she would use it. Hufflepuff preferred to stay behind the battle, healing her allies with her spells. Her spellbook was left with Gryffindor's.

"Merlin

The King Phoenix was said to belong to Merlin. Its powers are more than that of a normal phoenix. Its tears are stronger, its song more beautiful, its intelligence greater. It is said to entrust choice wizards with a bit of Merlin's power. The recipient is to "use Merlin's power for no evil." The King Phoenix currently resides with Albus Dumbledore, a recipient of Merlin's power. The people who have received this power have received what is commonly known as the 'Order of the Phoenix.'

Merlin also left some forbidden spells, which no one knows the whereabouts of. They are somewhere in England, most likely. He has locked the spells in a magic chest, which could only be opened when the "bringer of death" appears. Since the chest is not opened, the bringer of death has not yet appeared.

Merlin's staff is said to make the healing powers of the bearer significantly greater. However, he lost it and it was never found. It is rumored to be in Hogwarts or its grounds."



"Damn," thought Harry. "What a find! I can wait to show Ron and Hermione."

***

Meanwhile, in a remote location…

"I have found a Time-Turner, My Lord. It is in the hands of a student of Hogwarts, seventh year, though it is inactive. Potter is at the orphanage, just like you planned," reported a death eater.

A high, cold voice replied: "Excellent. I shall have what I need to finally destroy Harry Potter. When the Evil returns, no one will be able to stop me. Now, let us discuss the details of my plan…"

***

Harry awoke with a start. His face was in his book. "What were they talking about? Oh yes, only trying to kill me again," Harry thought. "Can't they find a new target?"

The details started to sink in, though. Harry finally realized Voldemort's motive, thinking back to something that he vaguely remembered Voledmort say, in that graveyard: "He is safe as long as he is in his relations' care. Not even I can touch him there…"

"Voldemort is going to come after me, when I'm here…"

Harry then fell asleep again, feeling great despair, sinking back into the state of mind that he was in after Cedric's death, that is introverted and brooding…

***

Albus dumbledore, meanwhile, was just receiving news of Harry, and began to think of a plan. He had to get Harry out of the orphanage and back into some kind of protected environment. But how?

A plan began to form in his head, a sudden realization. He made a connection, one that only he could make…for only he knew all of the facts. He needed to research a bit, but he was sure, he would be able to bring Harry Poter to the Weasley household by the end of the day…

How is Dumbledore going to get Harry out of the orphanage? Why does Voldemort need a Time-Turner? We'll all find out soon enough…

The Weasleys and Hermione will show up in the next part. Harry's had a long summer so he deserves to see them!

R+R please!
