Halloween trouble and Christmas at the potters !
The owls flooded the great hall as usual, all the great hall's attention seemed to be on six brown large barn owls that seem to be carrying a slim long everyone else Harry's attention also followed them suddenly they soared down the Ravenclaw table dropped the parcel right infront of Him. knocking his whole plate of breakfast to the floor, shaking his head at the damn owls he reached out to take of two notes attached to it. ripping open the first open Harry noticed His head of house's writing.
DO not open at the table it contains your new Broomstick for the quidditch team, i do not want everybody to know or they would want one as well. Davis will meet you,Mr Malfoy and Mr Boot along with the rest of the team on the pitch for training at seven sharp.
Professor
the second note was from Roger Davis the teams Captain it read:
Harry this is your new broom the Nimbus Two Thousands, i'll meet you on the pitch for Quidditch at seven. THIS YEAR IS OUR YEAR !
Harry showed the Ravenclaws around him the two notes, while laughing at the looks on the faces of the other houses. "can i have a go after you harry" was all he heard for ten minutes stright.
" OI POTTER WHAT HAVE YOU GOT THERE! " came the jealous voice of none other then Weasley from the other side off the Hall.
"Its Evan and none off you business Weasley" sneered Draco " why do you have to stick you nose into everything"
Daniel and his little gang of Lions had started to walk across the hall towards them " THATS A BROOMSTICK EVANS" shouted Daniel as his face grew red with rage, Daniel couldnt believe his average Brother was on the ravenclaw team after he could not even get on to the Gryffindor team " First years are not allowed them, your be in trouble when Professor Dumbledore hears"
Draco couldnt help himself Daniel potter was really an overgrown toddler who throw his toys out his pram when things didnt go, his way mummy and daddy had given him everything from their attention to the best toys in the world while his friend Harry had to live with muggles, before he could say something Terry beat him to it.
"its not any broomstick Potter Its a Nimbus Two Thousand what did you say you had a comet two sixty" Smiling at daniels every redden face "Comets are flashly but not in the same league as a Nimbus"
"WHAT DO YOU KNOW BOOT YOU MUDBLOOD YOU DONT EVEN OWN ONE SO DONT LEATURE ME " yelled the golden boy
At his words the whole hall had gone silent the looks of shocks from every student and some teachers etched on their faces. all heads where turned toward him. Harry had been shocked that Daniel never figured out that their own mother has muggleborn and he had insulted many students with this rude remark before the teachers could react to daniel, harry pulled out his wand pointed it directly at daniel and shot the stuning spell at him. when daniel fell to the floor the teachers acted quickly to defuse the situation.
BANG a fire cracker eupited from McGonagall's wand, disqust on her face as she swept from the top table and moved toward her Gryffindors that had been apart of Potter's Group by the ravenclaw table. she always prided herself that no matter what bloodline entered her house they would always be welcome and now one of her own had insulted another student from a house that had always seemed to be right on par with her own. with McGonogall, James Potter and his friends and the headmaster walked to the group harry put his wand back into his pocket and sat dowm carmly and finished off his breakfast before he would be in the headmasters office once again.
Lily sat in shock her pale face could not hide the disqust at her own son for using mudblood it was the worst thing to call any muggleborn she had it shouted at her once by a so called friend, she could hardly blame harry for acting the way he did if, he hadnt the whole school looked like they would have done it themselves. Looking back at the years it suddenly hit her. the way james and herself had caved in and gave him everything he asked, never telling him off when he done something bad or punishing him in a way which would have forced him to understand but Daniel was too like his father and with Albus's loving aproach, her son was none other then a spoilt brat. form that moment she would start to punish him for his behavior and attuide weather James supported her or not.
The headmaster decided it would be in his best interest not to punish Harry for stunning Daniel. who had just been heard calling Terry Boot a mudblood, know if he did the whole school would rebel against him along with the teachers if he did. He also decided Daniel would not be revived infront the school. intil the school was in lessons. He had to be talked to by his father and knowing lily punished for it. for Albus it had been the worst morning for this to happen, knowing from now on those that knew Daniel would go out their way to stay away from him only the youngest weasley would remain faithfull. As for Hermione Granger it would be the last straw, Daniel had blackmailed her into his group bullied her and now this. Dumbledore needed her to remain friends with potter because unlike Daniel, she along with daniels twin Harry was the best in their year.
" everyone to their lessons please that means you too mister potter. Mr weasley come with me" looking at harry,Albus could have sworn the boy smirked at him knowing that he couldnt be punished. turning to james and sirius and remus then to lily who remained in her seat " my office please young mister potter will be revived there"
once out of the great hall many students from all the houses congratulated Harry for acting the way he did. " glad you done it Evans because if you didnt i would have jinked/hexed him" best thing Harry noticed was that everyone was starting to question daniel and Dumbledore heading off to Potions he was joined by many Gryffindors they shared potions with. "Harry i am Neville longsbottom listen i want to say sorry if i have said or done anything to you or to Mr Malfoy or Mr Boot while around Daniel. i can not defend him after that please forgive me us gryffindors do not accept this behavior at all."
while queing he looked toward the gryffindors " i would like us all to be friends this house rivalry seems to be causing this sort of problems are we not all witches and wizards regradless off blood status"
all the first year stood there let his words sink into their minds, it was simple while there arrgoant people like potter about houses untiy could never be acheived. Hermione Granger stepped out off the line " Harry's right this is exactly what causes wars people who think they are better then others"
the first years of both houses agreed that this behavior was to be thrown out of hogwarts for good unware Professors Snape, Flitwick ,Sprout and McGonogall had over heard them each teacher with a small smile on their faces headed to their respected classrooms.
Potions for Gryffindor had become pleasent for once with daniel potter and ron weasley out the picture, Snape let the Ravenclaws help their lion counterparts and found both houses worked well together after an hour of joint co-operation each table of ravenclaws mixed with gryffindors had brewed their finest potions on their frist try, each house recieved fifty points each for their outstanding work and co-operation. soon the whole school had heard that first years of all houses agreed a truce for good on house rivalry, most older years joined in their promise while a small die hard core of student took no notice of it eg Daniel potter,ronald weasley and ten others.
Snape sat in the staff room after finshing his lesson, while the studens where on break he needed a nice warm coffee, apon entering the staff room he saw his fellow Professors deep in conversation about the first years, Filius was extremely proud that his houses has manged to do something no one had though impossable. " Well today has to be the proudest day in Hogwarts History no more Rivalry between houses except on the Quiddicth pitch everyone should be so proud" Squeaked Filius
"you know your first years took fifty points i gave them to day for working together and the gryffindors with help from their eagles counterparts manged not to blow up my Classroom today it seems if you take out potter and weasley from the overall picture we might be able to have enjoyable lessons" smiled Snape "young Harry certainly takes after Lily dont you think after all even if he looks like james"
just as Minvera was about to speak the door to the staff room bang opened and walked in was an extremely angry looking lily potter. stopping only when the others looked at her stunned " sorry Albus seems not to care what i think when it comes to daniel" sighing she took the seat beside Serveus " James is not helping matters."
"lily we where just talking about what young harry did today other then stunning his brother"
said sprout while sipping a strong tea while smiling while the others nodded their heads.
"you should be proud of harry. lily he had manged to united the houses this morning he takes after you not your husband"
Lily smiled, the day had started off really bad and seemed to get worst before three quaters off Hogwarts staff informed her that her eldest son was apart of a group that manged the unthinkable. deciding to talk to harry today after lesson and invite him to her office after classes for a few hours in which she hoped she could bond with her lost son. the last time she had that was when he was born and for the months leading upto the attack by voldermort before it had been taken from her.
in her lesson today they would be learning how to do cheering charms, the ravenclaws where among her best house all seemed to get the charms down to an art after one or two lessons of hard work. Harry's usual parnter Draco had become ill and was recovering in the hospital wing under madam promfey's today harry was by himself which gave lily perfect time to talk him and keep an eye on needed to build his trust which hopefully wouldnt take that long.
" so Harry looking forward to the holloween Feast tonight" enquried lily
"Hopefully nothing will happen i cant shake this feeling i have something is wrong or will happen"
"what do you mean"
"well i have been able to tell. because i can remember a pair of red eyes then a green flash then total usally ocurrs when something might go bad."
Harry's uneasyness started duing the night he had woken again due to the usual replay of the attack. he was shaken awake by draco who harry accidently jinxed hense why draco had gone sick for most of the day.
" listen harry dont think i am angry with you about this morning and Daniel. he has to much of your father in him if you didnt stun him half the school would have done" sighed lily
" he is a spoilt brat plan and thinks everything will come to him even if he doesnt desevre it" harry replied while making terry bust out laughting when he aimed for him
" yes he is"sighed lily" i should have put my foot down from the start But Albus and James wouldnt allow it"
" i see you like to read runes i been having some trouble with some advanced runes for tracking its better then a tracking charm but about a hundred more times harder to excute"
harry was having problems him and a few friends from each house had found parchment big enough to accomendate a map of the castle and grounds, but a simple tracking charm wears off after a few days.
"what are you up to if you want to learn that?" lily mind working overtime when her brain finally found the answer"your making a map of the castle and you need to track every one on it but a first year like yourself shouldn't be able to perform seventh year work yet .i say you about six year at most."
harry nodded at her then decided to ask her something that had been on his mind since he recieved hedwig back from his mother. " do you know why James didnt teach Defence against the dark arts a while back when black and lupin stepped in ?"
"Yes harry i do but its not for you to worry about now just keep going on your school work intil christmas and dont forget James is your father"
"no he is not my father"
"Harry please i am trying to help you understand..."
"understand what why my so called parents decided that one of their son was clearly more inportant then their other son who as a baby sat waiting for his mum and dad to return but never does why bother now!" grabbing his Parchment and other notes and quill stuffing in his bag he stormed from the classroom. leaving his classmates and mother in shock.
His anger quickly vanished at her sighing heavily Harry decided to head back to his dorm room to drop of his bag and homework off. as he crossed the castle he accidently passed the third floor notcing a figure standing before a door at the far end of the corriador talking to himself.
"why will it not open i have tried everything Master forgive me i am trying my best ..."
The figure spun around quickly to face Harry. The Ravenclaw noticed the turban wrapped around the mans head, the bags under his bloodshot eyes and pale skin.
"Who are you and what are you doing here" asked Harry while his hand slowly moved toward his pocket that contained his a stabbing pain across his scar.
"Harry potter" a deep voice whispered " look what you have reduced me to living off idoits"
"Stun him Quirrel " ordered the voice "we can use him to get though the old coots traps and get the stone"
Harry jumped to his left as the stunner came towards his chest. sending Harry smashing into the stone wall shoulder's first. His left shoulder popped out of the socket after it hit the wall a constant burning ripped though it and down his back. rasing his shaking injuried arm Harry quickly fired off stunning spells which he prayed would disarm the mad man.
" fool he is only a child stun him now" demanded the voice. the DADA Professor being egged on by his master he shouted " Crucio",
Harry had been learning up against the wall wincing in pain with nowhere to dogde the cruciatus curse he could do nothing but wait. the unforgiverable hit him directly in his stomach,the pain in his shoulder was nothing compared to the pain his body was tried not to scream, tried not to give the crazied wizard any pleasue from hearing him scream but the curse was far more worst the anything he had ever endured. Harry now fully understood why this curse was an unforgiveable. He was trying to fight the pending darkness that was now threating to decesend on his body. before the darkness took him harry swore he heard shouting from what sounded like Professor's and older students but he knew no more allowing the darkness to desend on him.
A few minutes earlier.
A student from Professor Snape's sixth year potions class had been on his way back from the toilet, when a high pitch scream of pain assultied his ears. He stumbled toward the duel to find a fully grown wizard using the cruciatus curse on a first year. knowing the child needed help Steven's rushed back to Potions to get help. "your late stevens detention for you now sit down"
" but...but...sir..." the exhusted sixth year replied " theres a strange wizard using an unforgiveable curse on a first year on ... the...third...floor."
Snape paled "lead the way stevens. You girl get the headmaster and the rest of the staff now to the third floor"
Snape withdrew his wand and rushed out the door after the already exhusted sixth year. rushing to the third floor Snape ran up the grand stairway two at a time where he was quickly joined by the headmaster and fellow staff member such as McGonogall, the Potters, Black,Lupin and spourt and filius. As they reached the bottom steps of the next flight of stairs a scream of pain and a cold laugh was heard, the teachers now wands drawn ran flat out along the deserted corriador with the head boy and girl and a few perfects trailing the Professors turning down the passageway they indeed find a first year Ravenclaw being Crucioed on the floor.
" Run you fool now" Quirrel started to shoot of curse left right and center, as he legged it down a side passageway and ran toward the front doors with most of the staff in hot persuit. Filius ran toward his downed eagle. The boy was breathing but bearly " Harry come wake up" when he didnt reply filius looked up at Minverva " Potter needs to get to the hospital wing now"
Severus conjured up a stretcher and placed Potter on it. together the three heads of houses rushed him towards the hopsital wing as quickly as they dared could. Their party was met at the bottom off the grand stairway by a large group of students. who by now knew who was involved and what happened.
" is he ok ?"
"is it true he had a unforgiverable used on him."
Snape bit his lip some students where complete idoits " move now all of you back to your common rooms NOW " Dumbledore shouted over the commotion as the students headed of towards their common rooms. Severus moved the stetcher over to poppy who joined the group.
"whats happened to him" as she ran a scan over his body.
"He was Cruicoed by some wizard who broke into Hogwarts" squeaked Filius. "did you catch the wizard Albus ?"
Albus looked over the pale form of Harry potter, the boy had suffered at anothers hands. " Get him to the Hospital wing Poppy and contact St Mungo's just incase we dont know what damage he will have from being expoised to. he must have been under the cruciatus curse for awhile."
Harry moaned his body seemed stiff and sore. he opened his eyes to find his glasses had been removed. His blurred vision did not help hin discover where he was. His arms felt heavy raising his rigth arm he moved them towards the table that he hope had his glasses on.
"Madam Pomfey,Professor Potter he is waking up"
All of a sudden two blurred figures stood over Harry, he felt a hand move back his hair from his forehead then preceeded though his messy unkempt hair. His glasses where gently replaced on his head the blurred figures of Lily Potter and Poppy Pomfrey now loomed clearly over him, harry could make out Lily had been crying her eyes where red and bloodshot. Madam Pomfrey looked as if she hadnt slept a wink all week.
"how do you feel Harry ?"
" Sore and stiff madam Promfey" harry Yawned "tried too"
"Drink this It's a potion to take away the pain its been a long week of keeping you pain free and just hoping you would wake up." explained Poppy
" A week really" harry asked suprised mind racing replaying the duel and the pain "did you catch Quirrel ?"
"Who harry " lily whispered
"the voice called him Quirrel now i think about it could be the dada teacher then we dueled i jumped out the way off the stunner he sent, but i smacked my shoulder into the wall then i fired off some stunners and tried to disarm him. Then he shouted Curico the pain was like well hell"
"Get some rest Harry. I have to report to Dumbledore now ok i'll be back soon " lily kissed his forehead and walked out of the hospital wing heading off to the headmasters closed the ward with a locking charm and headed off to her sleeping quarters.
"Draco why are you still in here for ?"
" well Harry that little hex you placed on me was more powerful then Pomfrey expected and its taken this long to wear off so you owe me " smirked Draco "now if you dont mind i need some sleep" learning back on to his pillow within five minutes Draco had crashed.
learning back on to his own pillow Harry stetched trying to get some feeling in his legs and arms but it was a losing ten long minutes Harry had fallen back into his slumber.
Lily heard voices off the order of the pheonix that had been posted at the school since halloween's attack. she had not slept propley since then every minute of this week she hoped so much that Harry would wake. Poppy had placed him in a magically enduced coma to help his small body deal with the pain. poppy worked triedlessly thoughout the week watching her son,while Severus brewed advanced complex potions that would rid Her little boy of pain. reaching out she knocked the office door.
"Enter" Albus shouted out " Lily is everything alright ?"
"Harry woke up about twenty minutes ago he is still in pain..."
Severus looked at her "dont worry St Mungo's sent their strongest Painless Potion its better then anything i can brew mainly because they take nearly a month to brew and get ready."
Nodding she joined her Husband and friends infront of Albus's desk facing him. Albus eyes lost their twinkle in his eyes after the attack. Parents of the students demanded to know what security was in place around the school. Fudge was not helping matters he seemed to meddle in the headmaster's affairs. The minster had sent Aurors to keep watch over Hogwarts. Alistor "Mad eye" moody broke the silence " do we know much on the attacker like his name or age"
"No Alistor i have no clues..." begain the headmaster but lily lifted her head from James shoulder and said "Harry said his name was Quirrel but he wasnt alone their was someone else with him."
Apon hearing his name the headmaster paled "Quirrel are you sure as in are Professor Quirrel ? "
The attacker was a member of staff, it now made sense to the rest. How the attacker had manged to escape capture from them in the grounds. Quirrel taugth the older years DADA instead of the younger years.
" silence. good ok now we have to take Quirrel alive this attack has proven he's dangerous but right now he have to stop him. where is he Minerva ?"
"he is pertoling the halls tonight and Hosptial wing Corriador..."
chaos spread thoughout the headmaster's office. Lily and james had already jumped from their seats and ran to the door. with the rest of the order of the pheonix behind them in a mad bid rush to reach the hospital wing before Quirrel got to Harry to silence him for good.
BANG
The castle floor shook, smoke filled the corriador shouts could be heard from Hospital wing. Poppy had dragged both Harry and Draco out of their beds into the isolation ward both boys had wands ready but both still to injuried to keep throw off the attack. The DADA teacher had already blown the doors from the mainly enterince off but the door to the isolation ward was blocked by the empty beds and mattress. "Come out potter i want to play " it may have been Quirrels body but not his voice it was that cold cruel voice he once heard before when he was one " time to die you meddling child" the blast ripped the doors from their hinges and the beds blocking the doors thrown across the room knocking harry back to the end of the ward his injuries from the last duel reopened leaving harry in worst pain then ever before. Quirrel walked toward where harry lay laughed and pointed his wand "your going to die potter like you should have when you where a drooling baby"
"Goodbye Harry potter Avada ..."
" Expelliarmus" the wand pointing at harry had been thrown out of Quirrel hands "Impedimenta" Dumbledore had just disarmed and inmoblised Harry's attacker " you old fool Dumbledore always trying to stop me!"
It couldnt be Albus stood facing Quirrel well the body of Quirrel but with the voice of Tom Riddle aka Lord Voldermort " Tom is that you !"
"Its Lord Voldermort to you Dumbledore" sneered Voldy " when i get my body back your be sorry all of you." Quirrel screamed as a vapor poured from his body and escape out the window
Harry laid in sheer pain when Pomfrey kneel beside him trying to heal the wounds that had reopened. blood poured from them "stay awake Harry come on stay awake" more people swooped around him. a hand touched his forehead a soft voice " stay with us"
The darkness yet again threating to engulf him, "theres not much i can do for him here he will need to be taken to St Mungo's if he last that long"
A/N: hope you enjoy the duel and battle off the hopsital wing.i kinda feel sorry for harry poor little bugger never seems to get a quite year at Hogwarts in the books always something to cause pain and death. oh well never mind. i am off not bad for one nite rewriting and spelling checking and uploading 4 chapters in one nigth. peace !
