-Chapter Six-

.

Cian left the Café de l'Enfer and hurriedly walked towards the closest cemetery. He had absolutely no wish to be turned to dust after finding out what he had.

Not many people paid any attention to him as he entered the cemetery, and he quickly slipped into a tomb that he had often used as a sleepover in the centuries past. Once inside he started to pace to and from, thinking. This Falx character was obviously the leader of some sort of organisation or something, however Cian certainly didn't like the sound of it. Neither did he like the fact that most vampires believed him and the others dead - and never to have existed for that matter. It really pissed him off.

After pacing for another while, he sat down on the grave. Then he concentrated on Athan and - finally finding the other vampire just entering English soil - he made a telepathic link between them.

//Found anything yet, Athan?// the First Vampire asked.

//More than you'd think, Cian. I really don't like the sound of this.// Came the worried answer.

//Tell me what you have so far and I'll tell you my findings.// Cian ordered and listened as Athan told him about the eavesdropping he'd done and what he had concluded out of that. //Indeed, I have something similar, and once again this Falx shows up. Thank you for your help Athan, but it's time for you to go to sleep now. The sun has already been up for a while.//

//I know, if you need me I'll be napping in the Tower.// Athan's voice was laced with amusement. //It's time Anne Boelyn made an appearance, don't you think?//

//You're impossible,// Cian replied with a smile.

//Of course, that's why you love me!//

The First Vampire shook his head, then concentrated on Ramsis. He needed to know what the half-vampire had found. //Ramsis.// He called.

//I'm here, Cian.// Ramsis's calm and steady voice invaded his head after a while.

//Good, I was getting worried. What have you found?// Cian listened with growing worry as the half-vampire told his part of the tale. Falx was really starting to annoy him. //This gets worse and worse, Ramsis. And we need to do something about it as soon as possible. Head to Hogwarts as soon as you can and we'll meet you there. Then we're going to hold council with Harry and hopefully come up with something.//

//As you wish, Cian. I'll see you in a few days.//

//Salazar, are you there?!// Cian called out.

//Barely. You have no idea how boring it is to sit and listen to zombies, even if they are telling you something important. Ten times worse than Binns's History class was.//

//Anything from your part of the world?//

//Nothing much, except for the fact that Nosferatu is being run by a vampire called Sam.//

//SAM?!//

//Yes, you know her?//

//I've been keeping an eye at her. Listen, as soon as you're done there, and preferably survive the experience, go back to Hogwarts. We're going to hold a council, and you've got to be there.//

//But councils are so boring!// Salazar whined.

//Would you rather come to a council or become permanently attached to a zombies rear end?!// Cian snapped.

//Council sound fine, mate. Perhaps we can rent a few clowns to dance for us, or Harry could call upon those leyrie friends of his. Or we could invite the Sea Witches, that'd certainly make things interesting. Or-//

Cian cut the Slytherin Founder out, and sighed. Falx was a dangerous vampire, and he needed to be taken care of as soon as possible. Hopefully Sam would help them once he contacted her tomorrow.

With that the First Vampire laid down in the grave and slept as the sun cast its rays over Paris and the world.

Harry looked up as the door to the Great Hall burst open and Hermoine, Remus, Fred and George came hurrying in. He stood up from his place at the Head Table, and mentioned for the group to follow him in the room where the TriWizard Champions had met way back in his fourth year. Once the door closed after them the entire hall burst out into exited whispers.

"They're just like children," Draco remarked to Severus.

The Potion Master nodded. "Indeed." He cast a quick look towards Venatio who was talking to Igris. Or, better said, Igris was babbling while Venatio looked highly bored.

"So, how's Snape jr. doing in his lessons with you?" the blond asked innocently.

"How's Malfoy jr. doing in your lessons?" Severus shot back at once. "He's doing fine; a bit weak still, but we'll have that fixed before Easter."

Draco smiled. Severus really cared for his heir. "I don't doubt it. With the timetable you have made for Venatio it shouldn't surprise me if you had it all beaten out of him before Christmas."

Snape snorted and glared at his former student. Draco shrugged his shoulders, smirked and turned to Ginny.

-------------------------

"Alright, what have you found out?" Harry asked Hermione once they were all seated.

"Well, first we went to the Leaky Cauldron," the bushy-haired woman said. "Except for the fact that it wasn't the Leaky Cauldron anymore; it has been transformed into a muggle disco!"

"Why?"

"There was a great fire some 200 years ago," Remus replied. "It wiped out half of London before they managed to stop it. No one knows how the fire started, and no one knows who did it or why."

"That's what we got to know in the former Leaky Cauldron," Fred continued.

"So we went to the closest library we could find," George took over. "And we started to read muggle history dating all the way back to 2100. And did we find much!"

Harry raised an eyebrow.

Hermione sighed and pulled out her wand. Out of another pocket she pulled out a something that looked like a very thick stamp. She waved her wand over the 'stamp' and a second later a tower of papers - about two inches thick - stood on the table.

"That's the information we found that seemed to have something to do with magic. Of course, there's lots more, but that seemed like the important things." She said.

"Well, I guess that in 6000 years a lot has happened, but after getting to know exactly how the wizarding world had evolved the only thing I hoped for was information that spanned only one parchment or something." Harry mumbled as he leafed quickly through the first few papers. "Hmm, I'll have Mayon take a look at them, that'll piss him off for sure."

Remus smiled. "You really like to tease the Dark Angel, don't you?"

"Of course I do, I have no respect for my elders." The green-eyed wizard grinned. "Now, did you find out exactly where the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley has been moved?"

Fred nodded. "It's on Mars."

"Please don't impersonate a centaur, Weasley. This really isn't the time for it." Harry growled.

"No, I swear on it Harry! I met a bloke in the library - a wizard - and he told me that Diagon Alley had been moved to Mars to make sure that no more fires would destroy it. Apparently something about the air on Mars makes it impossible for a fire to burn."

"And how do we get there?"

"Well, they've developed a new kind of floo powder." George said. "They call it galacto powder and it works the same way as floo, you just have to state the planet you want to go to as well as the name of the place."

Harry groaned and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Someone is going to have to check out exactly how far the humans have travelled through space. I'll give the four of you that task since you seem to be enjoying doing research." He pointedly pointed to the enormous stack of paper in front of him.

Fred and George glared at Hermione and Remus. "We told you not to give him everything we found, or at least to give it in smaller portions. But did you two bookworms listen to us?! NO! Now we're going to be stuck in a bloody library to the end of our days!" the twins yelled at the same time.

"I'll leave the four of you to bicker in peace." Harry mumbled and quickly got out of the room before things got violent.

Outside Draco was waiting for him. "So, what happened?"

Harry growled and dumped the entire stack of papers in the blonde's hands. "Give these to Mayon."

"MAYON?! But he'll skin me alive for all this paperwork!"

"Well, he's gotten bored with trying to kill me for setting him up with Bianca, and said to me that he needed a new torture subject."

"Bu- but I thought he said that he was over that!" Draco exclaimed and tried to balance the papers.

"He's a Dark Angel, his hobby is lying. You do the math." Harry replied as he exited the Great Hall and went outside onto the Hogwarts grounds. He looked over to the Quidditch pitch where Nicholas was giving the Phoenix Agents and the Aurors the third degree. The poor men and women hadn't had a proper nights sleep since they came to Hogwarts, but small improvements were showing. For one most of them could now walk from Hogsmeade to Hogwarts without falling over once reaching their destination.

Harry shook his head and sighed. 'What is the world coming to?'

'You really don't want me to answer that one, do you?' the voice said.

'Of course not, it was a rhetorical question.'

'Indeed. Then this might be a good time to tell you that a vampire called Falx - a bad guy - is trying to call up a demon. Think it might be a good time to let Quis enter the world again?'

'Hmm, reminds me of the time Voldie tried to summon a Dark Angel.' Harry replied and walked towards the Forbidden Forest.

'Well, Falx is a big fan of Voldemorts. He also practically worships Hitler, Grindelwald, and any other tyrant you can think of.'

'A well-learned guy, huh? In these times that is surprising.'

'He was taught by something very, very old. I've no idea what, and that worries me.'

'What about Fate and Destiny, do they know?' Harry asked and got ready to apparate. 'What's the location?'

'If those two know they're not telling, and this is where you'll be going.' A vision of the ruins of an old house flooded Harry's mind, and he recognised it at once.

'The Riddle House?'

'That's evil fanatics for you.'

Harry shook his head before he was gone with a pop.

A special thanks to everyone who defended me!!!!!!!

Once again to LIEUTENANT OF FIRE:

1) Yes, you did piss off a lot of people, and I'd advice you to read the reviews. Most of them are highly interesting.

2) Those people that update every second day probably have the whole story already written out before they start posting, all they need to add are the review-responses.

3) I wouldn't come to your parties or kiss your ass even if the two of us were the last human beings on this earth.

4) And if I shan't control your life, then why the hell are you trying to control mine?

5) Mate this is my story, my plot and my ideas. I don't care if Australia put on a tutu and danced the Cancan.

6) You bungee jump? Wonderful! Next time ask the assistants to cut the cord after you jump and before you reach the bottom. It'd be a great favour to the rest of the human world.

7) Why don't you leave your e-mail address in the review? Too scared someone's going to flame YOU? Oh, dear, mommy's little boy's gone scared. Buhuuu!

8) I know I sound very Malfoy-ish at the last comment, but, mate, I have a damn right to. You were the one who attacked me first, and as I really cannot find enough words in any language to describe what I think of you, that will have to do. Some good old-fashion sarcasm can get you through most things, including IDIOTIC JERKS WHO THINK THEY'RE ON TOP OF THE BLOODY WORLD.

9) Stop using my story as a bloody message board!!!!!!
