I do not own the rights to Harry Potter

J.K. Rowling holds the rights to Harry Potter

Onto the new Chapter of The Powers of the Abyss

Thoughts, Lust and Death?

-Ooo000ooO-

Few hours later

Harry woke up with a start. He was about to accio his wand when he remembered what had happened looked up at he ceiling and saw the red birds dancing and chirping, looking at him with expressions of joy on their face. They seemed so lifelike. He wondered why there weren't such great paintings in Hogwarts: they would have livened up the atmosphere considerably.

He thought about his two new allies. That man seemed a lot like both Dumbledore and Sirius, helping him while at the same time being friendly with him, something which Dumbledore had never done. The man also seemed very powerful as his daughter had managed to beat Harry. Not that Harry thought he himself was the best but he had been the leader of Dumbledore's Army.

The girl, Daphne Greengrass was a puzzle. He wondered how he never noticed her for she was quite an eye-catcher. But then, he was either glaring at Malfoy or talking with Ron while in class. He remembered the girls in the common room talking of 'Ice queen' Greengrass, reputed for her cold nature towards everyone. She did not seemed to be so cold though, just indifferent. What amazed him most about her was her duelling skills. He had managed to hold off after the rainbow spell only because of the dome-shield. Harry was ready to bet she knew more spells than Hermione or any other Hogwarts student. She had effortlessly casted over a hundred different spells at him! And those were only combat ones.

Suddenly, Harry realised something. He had not been wearing his glasses and could see the birds! He touched his eyes just to be sure that they were bare. They were. He wondered how his eyesight had been corrected. Was it the rainbow spell? He would have to ask Lord Greengrass along with his other questions. He only hoped that Lord Greengrass would teach him some battle magic. He had only managed to end his fights against Voldemort due to his blood protection, Priori Incantatem and Dumbledore's arrival so far. He knew than, if the Prophecy was correct, he would have to fight Voldemort on equal terms. After all, if he lost to someone his own age, how could he defeat a Dark Lord? He had to get up now, to train himself to duel with the man.

Harry then rose up from his bed. He still had some pain but it was nothing compared to waht he had been feeling before being defeated. As he loked to his right, he saw Daphne on the other bed. She was sleeping and a white bed sheet was draped over her body. She had a peaceful expression on her face which was flawless except for a lock of her long hair lying across her face, crossing with her red lips. Her hands were crossed together on her stomach and her bare , milky-white feet along with her jeans poked out of the bed sheet. She seemed to be the embodiment of beauty itself.

I don't have time for that, I have a Dark Lord to kill

With great effort, Harry turned his gaze from the 'Sleeping Beauty' put on his shoes. He took his wand from the side table. Then, he headed towards the door. However, as soon as he opened it, he heard a pop sound behind him. He turned, with his wand pointed and a stunner on his lips. Fortunately, it was only Tassy.

"Master wishes to see you in his office" said Tassy

"OK" replied Harry "Could you tell me where his office is?"

"Tassy can't bring you there but Tassy can show you where is Master's office" said the elf

"Thank You, Tassy"

Harry pocketed his wand and following his elven guide through the long dark corridor before him.

The corridor was only lit by candles hung from the ceiling every three meters or so. From their light, Harry could see that the corridor was dark green in color, with swirls of silver. The Slytherin Colors! Were they, like the Malfoys , at the service of Lord Voldemort?

No! I mustn't start doubting them! They saved my life, and Lord Greengrass told me under that magic that he was my ally.

When they reached the end of the corridor, which branched off, Tassy turned to the right. The new corridor was better lit and instead of the green and silver, the colors were Gold and Red. The walls were not bare and several non-magical portraits and photos were fixed onto the walls. On one of the photos there was someone resembling his father. He stopped to take a closer look at the photo.

It was a Hogwarts photo. A black haired and blue eyed boy in Slytherin Quidditch robes was holding a snitch in his hands. The man who resembled his father was tousling the boy's hair while another smaller boy in Gryffindor colors was high-fiving him and grinning at the photographer.

"Sir, Master is waiting for you"

"Ah. Tassy could you tell me who the persons in this photo are?" asked Harry

"It is Master in the centre after winning the Quidditch Cup, The man is Dragnus Potter and the boy is Frank Longbottom"

"Dragnus Potter? Is he related to me?"

"He is your Grandfather, Sir. Now we must go, I am sure that master will answer your questions in more detail"

"OK, I am right behind you"

He followed the elf through a complex system of corridors and stairs until they reached a large Oak door.

"Put your hand on this door, Sir"

"Why?"

"It is to assure that you do not have bad intentions against House Greengrass"

Harry followed the elf's instructions and placed his hand on the door. His hand flashed red and then glowed green. He was sure that he had felt a push off magic his hand flashed red but when he turned; there was no one else apart from Tassy.

"Now Sir can enter the room of Master Greengrass" said the elf

"She placed her own hand against the door

Her hand glowed blue and then green. The door swung open with barely a sound and Harry was dazzled by the light from inside the room.

After some seconds, his vision returned. He was looking at the inside of a well decorated office. Shelves lined the two walls to the side within the centre of the room was a glass table with some chairs on the front. At the table sat Lord Greengrass. He was in dark green robes and was writing something on a parchment. But what surprised Harry more was the fact that the room was illuminated, not with candles but with fluorescent tubes on the ceiling. Their bright light had blinded Harry. The room, instead of looking like a wizard's study, looked more like that of a CEO of a muggle company.

"Master, Tassy has brought Heir Potter" said the elf, interrupting Harry's thought

"Thank You Tassy. You may go now." replied the man

Tassy quickly popped away.

"Harry James Potter, Heir of the Noble and Ancient House Potter, we will need to talk about your family and, of course, of your magic. Sit here"

Harry moved towards the table and seated himself on one of the chairs

"What about my family and my magic, Sir?"

"Well, first of all, you know that I am an ally to you but, I need to know whether you are an ally to me."

"How, Sir?"

"It is simple, very simple" said Seth smiling as he pointed his wand at the boy, "Avada Kedavra"

The sickly green spell rushed at Harry so fast that the boy could not dodge.

Xavierp: Well I am just training Harry to match up to Voldemort. As I have already stated in my profile, cannon Voldie has too many a flaw and I will remove them

Ceo55: Well, Yes( I don't want to reveal contents of the following chapters so you'll have to placate yourself with that)

Others: Thanks for your appreciation

Question: Is Seth is Dark or Light?
