A/N: I wrote the majority of this story back before book six came out – the original is still on another website – but I went back over to it today and realized that I could do so much better – so here is my attempt. This chapter is unbeta'd.


New to Hogwarts

By: akirk85029


Dumbledore was soon back at the school and was happy at the brilliance of Professor McGonagall's idea. He sent an owl to contact others in the Order and watched the screen in some hope of recognizing where Harry and Kate were.

Everyone watched as Harry and Kate started to wake up.

Kate stirred first and turned to find Harry next to her. She crawled over to him as he started to sit up. "Are you ok?" she asked him.

Harry nodded yes. He stood up and held his hand out to help her up.

They realized immediately that their wands had been taken and so they were essentially helpless. They rummaged the room to look for anything that they could use as a weapon, but they couldn't find anything at all. It was very barren.

Soon the door opened and Lucius Malfoy along with two other death eaters came strolling in. Their lifted their wands up. "You two, come on!" Malfoy motioned for them to go into the hall.

Harry took Kate's hand and they walked out into the hall. Malfoy then motioned for them to climb the stairs. As they entered the hall, they realized that they were in a very old house; in fact Harry recognized the house as the one he was at when Cedric died when he had looked out the window into the backyard.

They eventually made their way into the study where Malfoy told them to sit down. They sat down on the dusty, rarely used couch. Lucius Malfoy and his group then left the room and locked the doors behind them leaving Harry and Kate on their own.

Harry and Kate immediately got up and tried the windows. Kate picked up a figurine and threw it against the window, but the window didn't break. "There must be an impervious spell on it." she said.


At the same time Harry and Kate were trying to break out, Dumbledore recognized where they were and left the school, with Arthur following him. Charlie took his father's spot and comforted his mother.

Harry and Kate had no choice but to wait. Soon about five death eaters came back into the room. They separated Harry and Kate, sitting Harry down in a chair in the corner and Kate on the couch.

Malfoy started saying something but Harry wasn't really listening. One of the other death eaters was sitting next to Kate on the couch. He was running his finger along the outside of her thigh and she tried to move away from his touch.

Harry started to get up but the two death eaters next to him pushed him back down into the seat.

"She's a pretty little thing." the death eater said.

Harry learned that his name was Dysert when Malfoy told him to lay off. Dysert tried to touch her again this time being a little bit bolder turning her head to him so he could kiss her. Kate pushed him back before he could and she tried to get up.

Harry got up but was being held back by the death eaters although they were having a hard time holding him back.

Dysert grabbed at Kate and they fell to the floor together with Dysert lying on top of her.

Molly and the rest of the Weasley's wanted to do something but what could they do but watch from the confines of the school.

Dysert was holding Kate's hands above her head and ran his free hand over her body. Kate squirmed under him trying to free her hands. "You keep moving like that and I might just have to have a bit more fun with you," Dysert stated turning to look at Harry who was yelling at him to let her go, "I think I might let Harry watch, what do you think about that?" Dysert asked looking back down at her.

Malfoy had finally had enough and pulled Dysert off of Kate. "Mind your manners Dysert, you're messing with someone's wife."

Everyone back at Hogwarts almost chocked, he couldn't have possibly meant what he had said.

Harry was pushed back into his chair as Kate got up and sat back down on the furthest end of couch.

Malfoy told Dysert to go stand over near the door and he walked over to Kate and grabbed her hand and turned her rings around. "Why are you hiding these? I am surprised though to know that Potter here could afford something even remotely like this." Malfoy said grinning at Harry.

Harry glared back at him.

"What business is it of yours?" Kate demanded of him.

Malfoy turned his attention back to her and just smiled.

Molly wasn't sure whether she could believe her ears. She looked at Ron and Hermoine for proof but they seemed to be somewhat surprised too.

Hermoine said "I guess I can't be one hundred percent surprised, I could have guessed this would be coming sooner or later."

Ron and Hermoine looked hurt at being out of the loop on this particular secret.

Everyone's attention was back on the 'window' when Voldemort walked into the room and several students screamed.

"So we are finally to the end at last." Voldemort said as he walked in.

Kate and Harry recognized one of the death eaters that walked in with him. It was one of the teachers from Scotland that was supposed to be their chaperone.

Voldemort knew who they were looking at. "Ah yes, I remember you've met one of my newest members before." Voldemort said pleased.

Harry then knew why Draco was so surprised to see him back after their trip to Scotland and that's why the teacher had tried to get them to go to that new place.

Voldemort pulled out his wand and told Lucius to give Kate back hers.

Kate grabbed her wand not knowing if this was a trick or not. She stood up facing this man that hated her husband.

"Now Mrs. Potter if you please, we are going to duel." Voldemort said with an evil grin.

Harry's heart stopped beating for a second. "Voldemort, it's me you want not her, let her go!" Harry demanded.

Voldemort smiled a nasty smile at Harry.

Harry was fighting the death eaters' grips at this time; there were three of them holding him back now.

Kate had no intention of leaving Harry behind as Harry was screaming for her to run.

Voldemort lifted his wand and she lifted hers.

"Kate, NO!!" Harry yelled.

Voldemort yelled "Crucio" and Kate fell to the floor screaming.

Everyone back at Hogwarts cringed at her scream. Molly almost didn't want to watch what was going to happen, but she was too stricken to move. Everyone seemed to be that way.

Harry seemed to have stopped breathing; he couldn't bear hearing her scream like that.

Kate stood back up and pointed her wand back at Voldemort but he had already shouted "Crucio!" again and she was back on the floor screaming in pain.

Harry was struggling against the arms holding him in place.

Kate got back up again, but before she could even lift her arm, Voldemort shouted again and she fell back to the floor screaming in more pain.

Voldemort laughed and Harry was infuriated.

Kate crawled back up and sat on the floor on her knees trying to get the strength to get back up again.

"I am surprised at you Kate; most people are groveling for my mercy by now." Voldemort stated.

Kate just glared at him.

"Look at Harry, Kate" Voldemort asked.

Kate turned her face to look at Harry.

"Do you love him enough to die for him?" Voldemort demanded to know.

Kate continued to stare at Harry, a tear slowly trickled down her pale cheek. "Yes!" Kate stated and stood back up to face Voldemort.

Voldemort smiled evilly. He yelled "Crucio!" again and Kate once again fell back to the floor screaming. She couldn't get back up this time.

Harry finally broke free and ran between Voldemort and Kate.

Voldemort laughed. "So young Harry, think you can save her life. She will die tonight one way or another." Voldemort stated and then told Malfoy to give Harry back his wand. "I will give you a fighting chance Potter, more than I gave your parents." Voldemort said chuckling.

Malfoy threw Harry his wand and Harry caught it without even blinking.

"So Harry I give you a choice, you can step aside and let me finish what I started with Kate or you can die first?" Voldemort asked.

"I will die before I let you touch her." Harry stated boldly.

Voldemort laughed. "So be it."

They lifted up their wands to each other, but something strange was happening. Kate looked at Harry and she could see his aura, she wondered what was going on. She looked at herself and she could see hers as well. She knelt up onto her knees and she felt this overwhelming urge to touch Harry and as she did she felt this power surge through her and into Harry.

Harry gasped as he felt it too. He held his wand even more determined towards his adversary.

Voldemort smile seemed to fall from his face. "What are you doing?" He demanded to know.

Harry had never felt so powerful in his life. He moved his wand to Voldemort and yelled "Avada Kedavra!" A powerful flashing green light erupted from his wand and hit Voldemort squarely in the chest. He fell over and hit the ground and didn't move.

Kate fell back to the floor behind Harry. Harry kept his wand still on Voldemort, not knowing if he was dead or not.

At that moment the Order came bursting into the room. Several of the death eaters attempted to fight and in the scuffle some of the death eaters disapparated with Voldemort's body.

Harry bent down to check on Kate, she was okay, but could barely move. Harry sat and stayed with her as the others defeated the death eaters and tied them up with rope that emitted from their wands.

Dumbledore and Arthur came over and checked on them.

"What happened?" Harry asked.

"Well I believe that the prophecy was at work here tonight along with some very old magic as well." Dumbledore said very happy that they were still alive.

Harry looked at him to continue.

Dumbledore looked at Kate; she shook her head letting him know that she never told Harry that Voldemort wanted to kill her.

Dumbledore explained, "Harry, you and Kate are soul mates."

Harry just stared back at Dumbledore; this was not news to him.

Dumbledore continued, "Voldemort knew of only part of a prophecy that said that if he killed the person you loved he could break you."

Harry felt sick to his stomach, that had nearly happened tonight, but something else had happened. He was about to ask but Dumbledore continued speaking.

"There was a third part to the prophecy that several people knew about but no one knew what it had said, but then before the match you saw Professor Truman bring someone to me, it was the daughter of the woman who had made the prophecy and she alone knew what the third part was and she finally told someone, me. The third part stated that you two were soul mates and joined together in life and death their power can be increased and that basically they can then turn evil around for the greater good." Dumbledore explained.

Harry wasn't sure what that exactly meant.

Dumbledore asked what had happened before they arrived and Harry told him. Kate was now sitting up holding on to Harry to keep her seated position.

"When Voldemort asked if you were prepared to die for each other that joined you two in the face of death, and I will assume that when you disappeared in Scotland you must have done something that joined you together in life?" Dumbledore questioned.

Harry nodded and told him that he and Kate had gotten married.

Dumbledore nodded his head in acknowledgement, "Then Voldemort sealed his own fate by joining you in death. Soul Mates are a very rare thing Harry, extremely rare. When soul mates are joined like that the purest magic presents itself and when Kate touched you she transferred some of her power to you, which is what made you feel more powerful. And I don't doubt that at that moment you were the most powerful wizard ever."

Harry sat there amazed. Kate touched his leg and Harry grabbed her hand and held it in his. "Is he dead?" Harry asked.

"I honestly don't know Harry, Voldemort had so much magic tied into making him immortal that I'm not one hundred percent sure he could ever really die." Dumbledore replied honestly.

Arthur and Harry helped Kate up and Arthur took them outside as Dumbledore called for the Ministry of Magic.

McGonagall waved her wand and the 'window' disappeared much to the dismay of everyone in the hall. She then sent all the students to bed except for the Weasley's, Hermoine, and Neville. They all waited in the hall for Harry and Kate to be brought back.

"Do you think he's really gone?" Ron asked.

"Let's hope so" Charlie replied.


Finally everything was wrapped up at Voldemort's father's house and the Ministry didn't question Harry and Kate for too long. Dumbledore then created a port key and sent them back with Arthur to the school while he stayed behind to work with the Ministry.

When Harry and Kate walked into the dining hall they were immediately surrounded. Molly hugged the both of them so tightly they could barely breathe. She let them go and then started scolding them for many things including getting married while still in school.

Arthur calmed her down. "Molly look at it this way, if they hadn't of done it, they might not be alive right now."

Molly stopped and then hugged Harry and Kate again thankful that they were safe now.

They all walked with Harry and Kate to the Hospital Wing as Madame Pomfrey wanted to watch over them. They had been through an extraordinary ordeal and she wanted to make sure they were okay. They all left them to Madame Pomfrey's care and went back to the Gryffindor tower where everyone finally went to bed.

Harry crawled into the same bed as Kate which was a nice feat as the beds were so small, but they slept on their sides with Harry's arm over her.

Dumbledore came in to check up on them early in the morning and he wasn't surprised to see them sleeping in the same bed. He left feeling more relieved now than he had felt in a long time.


Harry and Kate skipped breakfast. They had met with Dumbledore earlier in the morning and he had told them that the Auror's had decided that instead of putting them through the regular training they would like to just test them right away. They felt that they could pass it easily.

Harry and Kate needed to pass the Apparation test as soon as possible too, because they needed more Auror's as several riots kept breaking out and they needed to try and round up as many of the death eaters as possible. There was a lot of work to be done.

McGonagall came in and wished them good luck with everything. Harry and Kate thanked her.

The Weasley's and Hermoine were already waiting for them outside when Harry and Kate came out and they all headed down the drive to meet the Knight Bus. They had decided to leave early before the rest of the students came out to leave for the Hogwarts Express.

Harry, Kate, Hermoine and Ron turned to look back at Hogwarts for the last time as their school. They boarded the bus and were soon back at the burrow.


After a couple of days Harry and Kate were feeling back to normal and Fred and George seemed to notice this as they started to joke with them. Harry and Kate laughed and started to feel a lot better.

Ron and Hermoine were upset with them and Harry and Kate apologized for not letting them know about them getting married, but promised that on March eleventh, their first anniversary, they would get married again and that they were the first people invited and that seemed to make them feel better since they decided to forgive Harry and Kate for deceiving them and they were then all back to their jovial selves.
