Author: The Re-do, so up to you to review, thanks if you do.

INFO:

This story is very lightly, lightly based on neo-nazi germany so some of the terminology may be here. But hopefully no one will be offended by any of it, I'm not going to paragraph my obvious disagreement with idealism.

"It's probably not just by chance that I'm alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he's terribly strong. And if he's stronger than I, I'm the one who can't live with him. … I'm neither smart nor stupid, but I don't think I'm a run-of-the-mill person. I've been in business without being a businesswoman, I've loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I've loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I've done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice."
― Coco Chanel

Continuing...

He then turned his eyes to their surroundings, quickly he stood, and turning in a circle, he spun around sharply, "I-I Harry this can't be the place we were before can it, there wasn't a forest here, it was clear wasn't it?"

Harry shook his head, walking over to a person that looked to be Hermione, "I don't have any idea what's going on, but let's wake up everyone and see what's going on."

Ron stopped when he came to someone he assumed must be Snape, flushing he turned towards Harry, "Everyone?!"

Harry debated inwardly, but he knew that the Slytherins/Death Eaters would probably know some info that he and his friends couldn't possibly know.

Coming to that conclusion, he nodded, "Just magically tie their hands, in case anything happens."

They slowly woke up people one after another, some of the others looked prettier or taller, but Ron and Harry didn't have time to actually assess each person appearance.

Since a lot of them were panicking, and/or discussing things slyly amongst themselves.

"Potter what is the meaning of this?"

Harry turned away from Ron and Hermione hearing Snape voice, he felt his eyes widened slightly at Snapes Appearance, he was slightly shorter then what Harry remembered, his hair instead of greasy and lanky. Hung in dark waves around his shoulders, and his face was elegant if one wasn't careful they could mistake him for a female.

Getting over his initial surprise, he walked over to Snape, since he'd saved Snapes life putting a shield in front of the man before Nagini could strike, he'd learned the entire story behind Snapes behavior. So they become a little bit more amiable towards each other before the final battle.

"I'm not sure sir, but it looks like all of us were asleep for awhile and we haven't been able to get the appropriate date due to some kind of shield in this area. Hermione and Ron noticed that the surrounding landscape has changed drastically since we were awake."

Snape listened his eyes intent, before he let his eyes roam the canopy, he could immediately tell the difference , what had once been a clearing with no tree's or under brush, they were covered by a canopy of trees and bushes, The darkness of the woods made it harder to tell the minute differences.

"HARRY!"

"SNAPE!"

Both turned hearing their names called, they walked over to where Ron and Hermione knelt, Neville and Blaise who'd been awoke by Ron, both of them jerked back when the men on the grounds eyes snapped open.

The eyes glowed red.

Now that everyone was awake Harry stood in the semi circle, making a 'U' shaped crowd. He looked at each person, Draco and his father both stood a little away from the crowd, but their ears he was sure were turned towards what he and the rest were discussing.

Blaise stood next to them with Pansy sniffling behind him. Harry shook his head at her, but he could understand her feelings, Fred and George kept pulling at each other's face.

Deciding to not even mentally comment on that, he watched as Charlie tried to console the Pervarti Twins, who'd been dragged to the clearing by Luna when they'd been trying to get away from the first storm of the werewolves.

They were taking some time to come to terms to what was going on.

Dean and Seamus were laughing amongst themselves at their changes; Seamus kept pulling at Dean's long dreaded hair, "Now you really look like Lee Jordan."

Deans laughed at Seamus, "Well at least I'm not looking like a girl."

Harry rolled his eyes, but he was happy someone wasn't crying. Girl's tears were something hard for him to deal with, or ignore…a constant loop of torture.

Hermione kept looking around them, and muttering to herself. He could see her mind spinning for a possible reason for everyone's changed appearance and their current location.

"Well what are we going to do about our little problem Potter?"

Everyone turned their eyes towards Snape who'd taken a seat on top of a rock that happened to be lying conveniently next to a newly awakened Tom Riddle.

"I was wondering that myself. Snape how will the boy-who-lived save you all now."

Tom smirked as everyone narrowed their eyes on him, "I can't say that I'm upset at the turn of events, imagine, all I had to do was set off an explosion to return to my youthful appearance, though," He grimaced down at himself," I would have preferred a less handsome face, it's too easily noticed."

Ron his jaw hanging loose in shock, swiftly shut it with a snap, glaring he walked over to Tom. His steps determine he raised his fist, and drew back punching Tom in the face, Tom face turned with a crack, satisfied with him-self, he placed both his hands on his hips copying his mother's stern face.

"Well, there, it ain't so pretty anymore. And since I'm getting the feeling that we'll have to work with ya. I think this punch makes us even for now, until someone take you're rotten hide to Azkaban."

Seamus and Dean, both stared at shock at him before they started clapping, soon everyone else started to join in.

Luna leaned over to Hermione, "You're ex- boyfriend has some heavy guts."

Hermione slack jawed nodded, Harry trying not to laugh uproariously, coughed behind his hand and turned his back to Ron's smug face.

Letting his eyes wander the scenery, they fell on what looked like a body some ways away from them. Curious he walked over; he wandered who else could be in the woods with them.

Others seeing his movement followed him; a young women laid on the ground, her dark brown haloed around her. Her stomach surprised them for it looked like she was with child. Her skin was a dark caramel, they could see bruises on her face, but they seemed to be slowly fading with every second that ticked by.

Harry reached out to touch her, only to have a shield stop him. He pushed his magic against it only to have it whiplash back, crying out he fell back into Ron who found himself caught by Snape.

Harry held his hand, "What was that?!"

Hermione step forward and reached for his hand, looking at it she couldn't see an open wound but she could see that his skin had gotten red.

Looking over towards the sleeping women, she said, "Whoever left her here placed a barrier around her to prevent someone harming her, it must pretty strong since you weren't even able to probe it."

"You would be correct, Witch."

Everyone whirled around at the unfamiliar voice, a shadow stood behind them, every one backed up immediately pulling out their wands.

Charlie his eyes narrowed at the talking shadow, "Who are you?"

The shadow walked forward stopping in front of Charlie, "Well you could say I'm the reason you're awake now…also the reason why you fell asleep."

The shadow turned it's head towards Harry, "You woke me up with all that ruckus, and all of you were crying about loneliness and having no power, it started to grate on my nerves."

Ron confused spoke hesitantly, "mm, sir, er , Shadow man, we were in the middle of a battle , how was anyone crying or pitying themselves while fighting."

The shadow's neck stretched, while he remained standing in front of Charlie, it wrapped around Ron and faced him, "Well you're hearts were making so much noise in my resting place I decided to grant you're wishes all in one go…but a problem occurred."

Ron shuddered after the Shadow returned its head back to its orginal place, and jumped back away from them.

He pointed at the ground, "The runes here made by my step father, keeps me from performing magic on witches or wizards in order to return to this world, so I had to make you something else, and that takes a lot, a lot or magic…but I did it anyway, and put you all to sleep for fifteen years to do it."

"FIFTEEN YEARS!"

Everyone eyes were wide in shock, Ron passsed out and no one tried to catch him.

The shadow wriggled a finger in his ear trying to clear it after such a loud collective scream, "Yep, and I even manage to make you all better and you won't be lonely because of your changes. Look and I even got a bride though she'll be slightly afraid to realize what she'd been dreaming isn't real."

Shrugging the shadow continued, "Luckily you're not the only ones I remember their being a castle filled with people and well they went through the same thing."

Harry couldn't move what he was hearing was absurd, this creature, this thing had ruined all of their lives. In one fell swoop, he'd knocked all their hopes and dreams off the table,"I-I can't believe this."

No one spoke, but the Shadow didn't seem to care or want to hear their opinion.

He walked over to the women and placed his hand gently on her head, "You all are now what I was, my whole race died out eons ago. Me, trapped amongst shadows could do nothing. But she brought me a chance and all of you have."

Turning from the women, the Shadow turned towards them, slowly it began to fade, Harry seeing this rushed forward but he was stopped by the shield protecting the women, slamming on it he screamed, "RETURN US, TAKE US BACK!"

The shadow shook it head, sadly, Harry thought, "I cannot, and I would not, I, Aegus have finally repaid my father…and you all will protect the magical world, hurry…I-I'm dying now…"

Harry screamed slamming on the barrier, as the shadow slowly dissipated once it fully disappeared the shield came down.

Harry fell forward, causing the others to fall out of their stupor.

On his knees he simply stared at the ground, what they would do, he'd promised everyone, everything would be alright…but nothing, nothing was alright.

Nothing.

To Be Continued...
