Three years after the disastrous Triwizard Tournament, Harry Potter is spending the rest of his life in Azkaban Prison for the murder of fellow competitor Cedric Diggory. What will his rage hold for the Wizarding World after he is abandoned by everyone he once trusted? TR/HP, BW/LM, FW/DM.
Eep I know! I can only apologise and say that I lacked inspiration to write this for some time, but I've been oddly motivated lately and thus I thought I should finish this! One more chapter to go guys, and that will be the epilogue! Whoop-whoop!
Warnings for this chapter: Swearing, Character Deaths, mentions of a miscarriage and that's it.
I only own this plot, the rest is J.K Rowlings! Damn!
Chapter 5
Beginning of the End
The rain was coming down in torrents as she stared outside the window, she had often wondered how it could so accurately interpret her mood when she so desperately needed it. Ever since she had fallen under the Headmasters thrall she could hardly breathe. He had seduced her when she had been a tender age of fourteen, knowing that he preferred younger flesh of both sexes. She also knew of the numerous affairs he had behind her back, mostly with underage teens. She had even ignored the small headlines of Muggle children confessing to being molested by a kind old man. She had loved him so deeply and passionately that she would ignore all his faults.
Until she became pregnant with her first, and last, child. He had at first doted on their unborn son, until he realised that he could no longer engage her in violent sex as it would cause great harm to their unborn foetus. He had started to hit her less, until she had one day caught him in the act of sleeping with another man, she would stand for other women as he never had much interest for them other than her and a select few other powerful women. But when he started to sleep with men she knew she was powerless. He craved them much more than he did women.
She had ranted and raved, calling him an assortment of derogatory names, until he had snapped and punched her multiple times in the stomach. She could feel her baby's magic slip away each time his fist collided with her growing belly. She had mourned for years, and still continued to mourn. Her baby would have been a year older then James and Lillian, she had hoped they would be close friends, but Albus had stolen that dream from her as well.
And for what? So that the only person who could ever carry his heir was also the person that tried so valiantly to murder him? She could never understand the mind of the one she loved, Albus was a complicated man. A man that she hated as much as she loved. He would cause his own ruin, she just knew it. It had started with the birth of young Hadrian. James and Regulus had just been more rejected bed partners for Albus, and had despised the fact that the two had married in secret and had created a spawn without his knowing and permission. As if the children needed his guidance and all-knowing presence to try and create a beautiful creature such as Hadrian James Potter.
She sighed one more time as she moved out from the room she was in to the dark stone room containing the ward stone. She knew that this was a suicide mission, but she couldn't live in a world with Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore anymore. He had too much a control over her, and he would only continue to do so now that he had his grips in Hermione as well. She only craved power and control. Something that the Headmaster would gladly give her along with his terrible abuse.
She looked at the stone and saw the beautiful grand-children her Aldon would have given her. He would have been a bright and happy child, as he would have been the reason she finally left Albus. He would marry a beautiful witch and they would have both lived with her until she slipped away from the world. She took one last breath before producing a large stone mallet from air and slamming it down as hard as possible on the stone.
She could feel ghostly fingers move down her spine, as well as the soft murmurs of the dead. She took another hit at the stone and gasped as she started to lose control of the mallet, she could feel the wards shift and squirm around her, not sure of what to do. With one last hit she screamed and fell to the floor, blood starting to pour down her nose and mouth. She gasped painfully as she heard Albus slam the door open, she laughed manically as he stared at the room in horror. The ward stone pulsing with life before flickering out and dying.
''I told you Albus, one day you would regret taking what I loved most in the world'' She breathed before dying with a smile on her face. Disappearing from the world clutching a newborn baby in her arms, a blinding smile on her face.
Albus could only stare in horror as the realization hit him, Tom could get into Hogwarts without any problems now. The war had finally arrived once and for all.

Harry was sitting on the rock, the twins bickering behind him, when he felt the sudden fluctuation at the wards. He gasped when he saw them crumble before his eyes. The once golden school looked almost grey and dreary without the wards surrounding it. He stood up from his seat and looked back towards the twins, realizing that they hadn't even noticed the difference in the wards.
He looked back at the castle and a sinister smile broke over his face, he disappeared with an audible crack and stood inside the Great Hall. He rubbed his hands together with glee and couldn't help but feel gleeful, now he could destroy Albus from the inside. And the man would never even know, which just made it even more perfect. He gasped though when he saw Ginny walking through the Hall. He only snarled and sent a cutting hex towards her, she had been the most vocal about his imprisonment.
When he had been stuck inside those dreadful Halls, his life force being sucked away from him it had been his hate keeping him alive. Sirius had claimed that the happiness, the joy he felt when he held Harry for the first time and the joy of their peaceful lives together is what kept him alive. But for Harry it had been the burning hate he felt for all the members of the Light. The people he had considered his friends had made sure he would never see the light of day again.
Ginny gasped when the narrowly missed her, she turned around to see Harry and he sneered when he basically saw hearts form in her eyes. He pushed out a large amount of hate into her body and watched as she crumbled in pain.
''Please Harry, I love you'' She begged when she saw him advancing towards her. She felt the large wave of despair hit her and she smiled at the thought of the man feeling despair for her death, but she only screamed when she felt another wave of anger push into her.
''Before you put me in that Hellhole I might have considered allowing you to live. But when you started with your 'I can't believe he did this, but my love for him grows stronger' I couldn't stand it. You were thirteen Gin, already sleeping with some of the upperclassman in Gryffindor, but somehow your love for me always remained strong.'' He spat at her and she cringed away, starting to suffocate at the burning and hate and anger pulsing inside her body. ''You are nothing but a slut Ginerva Weasly, thinking that by sleeping your way to the top no one would care. People have noticed, which is why you reek of Albus Dumbledore, he probably the only person that has allowed you to sleep with him. No one wants to sully themselves with a bloodtraitor whore'' He simpered as he stood right next to her, he cackled when he saw the Light leave her eyes.
''Please Harry, you always save me'' She whispered as she felt the seductive pull of his magic wash over her.
''Good bye Gin'' Harry said as he lifted his leg and stamped his foot down on her head as hard as he possibly could. He only sneered at the splattering on brain and other such things before smearing his foot on the stone floor and moving further. He had to find Tom so that he could end this war once and for all.
Everyone was ready to live their own lives again.

Amaryllis groaned audibly when someone came sprinting into the Hall and started stuttering about the battle that had broken out at Hogwarts. The room exploded with stories and she just shagged into Octavius' side. Already tired of this war even though it had just started.
''We must go and help them!'' Lady Longbottom roared as she charged from where she was sitting. Lord Odgen huffed as he was shoved to one side in her haste, many of Dumbledore's supporters stood to join him in battle, but were stopped by the gavel falling down heavily in the distance.
''And please tell me why we must help a convicted criminal'' Amelia said with a roll of her eyes. She wasn't even close to being in the mood for these narrow minded people. ''All of those who leave this Hall to support Albus Dumbledore will be stripped of their titles and will serve a mandatory sentence of five years in Azkaban'' She roared as she noticed the members of the Wizengamot didn't care and were filing out of their seats and rushing down the Hall one by one.
Amaryllis began to giggle and buried her face in Octavius' shoulder as he snorted loudly. Augusta Longbottom sneered at the two and then at every other member they thought were Dark within their Halls.
''And why are you not leaving to help your so called Lord?'' She asked loudly as she puffed out her chest and thought how pathetic these people must be for their Lord not even to call at them. Albus Dumbledore trusted his members to come help him, while Voldemort just left his members to sit down and talk about things that wouldn't even matter when the Light won.
''Because my dear Augusta, there is no need for us to our Lord, he is powerful enough on his own. He doesn't need older, more faded members to help him out. Not while he has the empath with him'' Octavius said as he stood. He sneered down at the woman as every other member of the Dark stood. ''We don't need to protect and die for our Lord as it isn't needed. He can take care of himself, unlike your Lord''
''How dare you!'' She thundered as every other member of the Light started to shout and defend their own Master.
''For too long we have let the Light rule us, there is no such thing as a world where it is predominantly Light, not Dark'' Octavius began, making everyone quiet and craning their necks to listen to him. ''There must be a peace in our world, where Light, Dark and Grey can co-exist. Do we want our children to be born in this world of conflict, I for one do not want to raise a child with my beautiful Amaryllis if we are judged and hunted for being dark. Neither does Heir Lord Lestrange'' Here Augusta's breath hitched and eyes darkened at the mere thought of the pathetic boy she had been forced to raise. ''Do you think it's fair of him to raise his child in this situation? After being verbally and physically abused at the hands of the people he thought were his family'' He threw a sneer at Augusta, who swallowed audibly. ''Only to realise that he was stolen from his birth parents…''
''What are you talking about Heir Lord Rosier?'' Lord Odgen asked as he rubbed his girth, casting a sideways glance to Augusta as she shook her head and started to sweat.
''Oh you didn't know?'' He asked as if he were speaking of something as simple as the weather. ''For those of you who didn't know, as they were considered Dark scum, Lord and Lady Lestrange welcomed a healthy baby boy into the world around the same time my parents and Lords Black and Potter did. He was called Corvus Gordian. But after the attack that the Lord and Lady had undergone in their house Corvus was never heard of again, but Neville Longbottom had appeared shortly thereafter''
Odgen's eyes widened at the implication and he turned murderous towards Augusta and all of those standing behind her. He threw a stunning hex at her when he saw the pride in her eyes. She had actually been proud of what her son and daughter-in-law had accomplished. She was proud that they had stolen a child from his mother!
''Are you saying that Heir Lord Longbottom and Heir Lord Lestrange are one and the same?'' Amelia asked aghast. She hissed in outrage when Octavius only nodded and Amaryllis stood up from her seat to place a comforting hand on his shoulder. He turned to her and pulled her into his arms, sighing as he buried his face in her neck. ''Guards, place all of these people under arrest, and make sure that all of those who are fighting alongside Albus Dumbledore will be facing the full extent of the law''
Amaryllis, and everyone else looked shocked at the woman as she stood up and marched towards the Supreme Mugwump's chair. She sat down on it and everyone gasped when a golden Light enveloped her and a golden gavel appeared in her hands. Knowing what this meant Octavius couldn't help but share a dark smile with Theodore over his beloved's shoulder. They had won one side of the war.
Now they only had to wait for Harry.

He shouted when he saw Ron get hit with a blasting hex, but the teen stood once more and charged for his attacker. Hermione squeaked in fear before she dropped her wand and out of site. Knowing that she had been targeted.
The twins weren't too far off and were duelling with Justin Flinch-Flitchey and Hannah Abbott. They were some of the few students who had escaped to fight along with their 'Lord', and to defeat the bastard known as Lord Voldemort.
Harry stepped over a lifeless body and cringed when he noticed it was one of the lower Death Eaters. Tom wouldn't be in a happy mood when he realised his faithful minions had been slaughtered like cattle by the Light.
He gasped when someone grabbed him from the back and pressed a knife to his throat, he should have known better. Tom had warned him about charging into battle like a blind idiot.
''Well look who we have here'' Albus leered as the battle around them stilled. Tom growled from where he was and charged towards them, stilling when he saw Albus wave his wand in a threatening manner, a sickening yellow spell zoomed towards him, which he dodged expertly. ''Hadrian James Potter-Black in the flesh'' Albus sniffed his neck, causing him to cringe and move away, but it only made the Headmaster chuckle and rub his ridged flesh against the teen's backside. He snarled and shoved Harry away when he only shivered in disgust.
''This has gone on long enough Albus!'' Tom roared as the teen ran towards him and he was pulled into strong arms. He threw up a strong purple shield when several hexes were thrown their way, even an emerald green one from Hermione bounced of their shield. Instead hitting Hannah and making the girl collapse right where she stood.
''All you had to do all those years ago Tom was fall into my bed, accept my courtship like the good little whore you are and none of this would have happened'' Albus snarled as he threw a blasting hex towards the shield, his eyes widening when it didn't even make a dent, but Harry did wince and he smirked. ''Come now Harry, you aren't like this man, join our side once more and I'll make sure that you and Ginny would be happy for the rest of your natural lives'' He simpered as he thought of controlling the boy and using his delicious body.
''Ginny is dead'' He said proudly, the whole Light gasped when he smirked proudly. ''I killed her when the wards collapsed''
Tom moaned and pulled the teen into a brutal kiss, causing Albus to roar and throw a killing curse at them. He proceeded to attack when the shield fell away and the rest of the group moved forward into battle. The only thing he had eyes for was Tom and Harry. The teen tucked into the older man's side as he was protected fiercely by the Dark.
He passed by nameless and faceless Light members, not even caring when they collapsed in battle. Not even turning to commend them as he stepped over their dead bodies. Tom was blasting away his own skilled Light members, and they continued to drop like flies.
He danced part Fred and George Weasly as they zeroed in on some of the Light members who had been forced into battle. Disappearing with a loud crack as their hands were grabbed and accepted. All he could think of was of what his life could have been like if Tom had only accepted his courtship all those years ago. If the teen had only allowed him to love him all those years ago.
''We could have been happy Tom!'' He pleaded as he was faced with Tom, only a few people in between them now, he didn't feel the icy rage creep up his spine. ''Our children could have given us more blessings now'' He said softly, the battle around them still raged on, but he could only see the beautiful teen who had stolen his heart.
''I never could have loved you Albus, not when I knew what you had done'' Tom said through clenched teeth. ''Not when I knew my heart could only belong to Harry'' He shared a look with the teen, who stood on his tiptoes to give him a chaste kiss. The love obvious in their body language. Albus suddenly gasped in pain, the pain he was feeling only worsened until he collapsed to his knees.
''Headmaster!'' Hermione shrieked as she rushed forward to the man who was now her lover, but she was stopped by Ron who grabbed her arm and put magical restraining cuffs around her wrists. Everyone else had stopped the battle, the Light could see that they were losing, and relinquished their wands and lives. Since they were all cowards and couldn't fight further knowing that their Leader was dead, still believing that their lives could be saved by those in the Wizengamot could save them.
''For years you have made my life a living Hell Headmaster'' Harry said as he moved forward. The hate seeping out of his very core, those around him stepped back and cringing. All except Tom, who stared at him with pride shining in his eyes. ''You have ruined the lives of all of those around you, and I think it's time you were repaid this gentle favour''
The Headmaster screamed as every emotion plaguing Harry's system slammed into him with full force. The uncertainty of his future, the love he felt for Tom, his parents and little sister. The love he felt for all his friends and those who would soon be joining the Dark. The absolute rage that had been inside him for the three years that he was inside Azkaban, and then finally the acceptance. Albus gasped for breath and could feel the last of his life being drained from him as the acceptance finally washed over him for the last time. He grit his teeth as his heart finally gave out.
He died knowing that even though Harry didn't know why he had done the thing he had done, he could accept it as it had gained the teen his happiness. Albus would scoff and sneer if he could.
Tom looked at Harry and ran forward to catch him as he collapsed, all his friends and family rushing towards him. Worried that he had used too much power in his quest for revenge.
''It's over'' James whispered as he brushed the hair out of his son's eyes. His eyes flicking towards Albus and then his forced being arrested.
''Yes James, it finally is''
