Harry's POV
As I came out of the memory I saw Severus and Dumbledore eyeing me worriedly. I said rubbing my temples feeling a migraine coming on," I'm fine. Severus I'm going to head back to my dorm until my detention. See you tomorrow." I practically fled from the dungeons. Dumbledore had been the reason why I had run off. I only hoped Severus would realize that.
After I had a nap in the Gryffindor dorms I pulled out the Marauder's Map. After saying the code I searched it for Luna. With Dumbledore hanging around Severus I would need to be careful about how much I went to visit. The only other person I could talk to was Luna. When I searched the map she was nowhere to be found. That didn't sit well with me something was wrong.
I felt the band on my left wrist flare up in pain. :No! Luna?: I knew it had to be her that had bonded with the Dark Lord. The question remained was how did they find her? Did they know who the fire elemental was too? I knew there was only one way to find out. It was time to contact Fire Dragon. As much as I wanted to kill the man it could wait until his disciple was safe. I sent a letter immediately by way of owl then went to my detention.
As I walked in Luna walked out and we ran right into each other. She looked at me sadly and said," I'm sorry Tiger the snake has caught me. The three have become two. So the hunt continues." I cursed my luck that had rubbed off on Luna. I only hoped that I could warn the fire elemental in time.
Before I could respond to Luna she was gone. Lucius Malfoy stood just inside his doorway his steel blue eyes burrowing into mine. He gestured for me to go inside and once I was through the threshold he shut the door. He said watching me coldly," You will clean this room top to bottom without magic." I sighed but did as I was told. I knew that they knew I was the Lightning elemental but without dragging me to their hideout I was safe. For the moment. By the time I was done it was nearly curfew and my headache was back.
I knocked on the door to Malfoy's office and heard a sharp," Enter." I took a deep breath and pushed down my exhaustion I went in. He was sitting at his desk looking over scrolls of homework. His eyes lifted briefly to meet mine before he indicated for me to sit in the chair. I took the chair nearly slumping back in it in exhaustion. He asked not looking up again from his paper work," Did you clean the whole room?"
I said meekly," Yes, sir." I could feel his surprise before he quickly masked it. My mind was still on Luna so I wasn't really paying any attention to the elder Malfoy. I jumped when he placed a hand on my shoulder. I was out of it this evening. I could feel the pull of my marks wanting me to go to the dark lord. He gave me a slightly concerned look as he asked," Are you okay Mr. Potter?"
I nodded not trusting myself to speak at the current time. Something was wrong this had to be more than just Voldemort gaining his third elemental. My ki felt off. My eyes widened in recognition. Shit! I couldn't control my that's why I felt so off. I heard vaguely a yelp from the elder Malfoy and knew I was right. Damn I had to get back to the shrieking shack.
I stood unsteadily and was able to take a single step before collapsing. Lightning ki surrounded my body in a wall and I blacked out.
Voldemort's POV
He was sitting in his study reviewing reports from the last raid when his door burst open. He had his wand out ready to crucio the intruder when he recognized it to be Lucius. The elder Malfoy was out of breath which was an odd occurrence for the man. Voldemort said coldly," Tell me what possessed you to rush into my study unannounced before I crucio you, Lucius."
Lucius said catching his breath," My lord, you must floo to my office in Hogwarts immediately! Potter has lost complete control over his abilities." Voldemort knew exactly what had caused this. The boy had a feeble control over his powers after the incident at the shack. Now with the third elemental bonded to him it had pushed his powers over the edge. Lucius was correct in his assumption that he was needed. Not even a mentor could fix this. He followed Lucius to the fireplace then flooed out.
When they landed in Lucius' office they found Severus trying to talk to the boy. Voldemort could feel the power coming off of the shield that surrounded him. It was unlike anything his other elementals had. Was this the power of a ki master? No, he shook his head. He had met with the Fire Dragon weeks ago. That man was powerful but it was nothing compared to this. Severus blinked as they came in the bowed to Voldemort who waved him off.
Voldemort asked his tone clipped," Is he responsive?" Severus shook his head. He could see the worried look in his spies eyes. Voldemort knelt down next to the shield and placed his hand on it. He could feel it push back against him but he was firm in his touch. Soon it collapsed around him allowed him close to the boy. He could see the Lightning jumping off him. It was a wonder the child's heart was still beating. He raised the boy's shirt wincing slightly as the Lightning struck him before recognizing him for what he was.
He placed his hand on where he roughly knew where the ki center was. As he pushed his magic towards the boy he felt the boy's ki calm reacting to his master's magic. He was pleasantly surprised that the idea had worked. There had been no guarantee with the boy still unclaimed and fighting him every step of the way.
As soon as it was safe Severus was checking the boy over. The relief was clear on the young potion master's face. He said turning to the Dark Lord," He will be fine my lord. He just needs rest." A voice growled," I'm fine. That wasn't the first time that's happened. I doubt it will be the last."
