Summary: What if Harry was declared dead on his first birthday? He banished Voldemort, yes, but 'at a cost' as Dumbledore declared. What if everyone thought he was dead, because they couldn't find his body anywhere at Godric Hollows? Well guess what? They are wrong, Harry's very much alive, safe, and a lot more powerful.
Warning: AU, and Powerful Harry. Lily and James are alive, Sirius doesn't go to azkaban, and Peter is in Azkaban. Potters don't trust Dumbledore after Harry's 'Death'. Malfoys and Potters sorta get along. Potters are neutral. YAOI, I will not bother with Homophobes so please leave if this isn't your cup of tea.

Last time
There was a flash of green light, and then everything was dark. My conscious was already slipping form me, the last thing I saw was Shiki tearing the humans apart, and was that tears I see? I don't know but what I do know is that Renascentia, after five thousand years of neutrality was finally going to step into this war. I hope Noctes doesn't cry again, I love her too much for her to cry.
Third Person
It was already the middle of the night. The shadows crept across the academy of Renascentia, and creatures of the night were up and awake, searching for anyone that dared to cross them. The shadows were practically dark around the academy, as if it was daring anyone to come close. In the depths of this darkness a figure was limping towards the gates of the old castle, with another body on their back.
There was no telling who it was, since there was a dark blue almost black, cloak that covered their appearance. The dead body that was being carried had an orange cloak, though it was now slightly torn and had dirt and/or mud on it.
Eventually they made it closer to the castle gates, and after a few minutes of tense silence; the sound of hinges can be made and eventually the gates opened. Once the figure crossed the gate to the other side, he slumped just a little bit and the tense silence disappeared. He only took a few more steps, before he collapsed to the ground. Before he could fall into unconsciousness, he felt the powerful aura of Renascentia wrap around him.
~~~ BREAK ~~~
Silence filled all the rooms of the Guardians, that is until the atmosphere completely darkened and nearly chocked them all, until they woke up. Of course for Harry it was slightly more gentle. They all woke up with a start, and immediately dashed off towards the Headmaster/Headmistress office. It was actually a funny display. Some of the boys were just wearing boxers, while some were actually smart enough to wear a muscle shirt too. The females were all wearing nightgowns of different colors.
Headmistress Sinster, was walking back and forth in her office, with a worried and pained look; there were even traces of tears on her face. It was obvious that she had been crying. The new generation of Guardians looked at her with worry, but didn't voice their concern. There was no need, Renascentia himself was in the office, though he was sitting in the far corner with a deathly look on his face.
After a few more moments of silence, Sinster finally spoke in a broken voice, "We found them, Ventus and Niva. Niva was found unconscious by Renascentia, while Ventus... He's gone, just like all the o-others." Sinster finally broke down in a fit of sadness, and started to cry. Tears streamed down from her pale complexion, she was so pitiful.
A grown woman that's older than she appears, seen so many horrible things, and has had a few close call with death so many times; was breaking down in front of them. Sylvia, the youngest, walked over to the fallen Sinster, and held her head to her chest, and started to sing soothing lullabies. Tarquinius, Adam, Harry, and even Yukio looked at Sinster with pity and sadness. Emmillie and Morana, stood on the other side, impassive.
The sound of sobbing; weakened and eventually died down. Sylvia stopped singing and released Sinster for her small, but effective hold and walked back to Tarquinius. Taking a shaky breath, Sinster compose herself quickly, and spoke in her usual strong voice.
"As I was saying, we found them on the school grounds. There's no chance for Ca- Ventus to survive, since it appears that he was long dead, before he even reached school grounds. Niva on the other hand has a chance of survival. It's been about an hour ago, that we found him and he was in a somewhat good conditions. However he's completely tried, and is at his limits. Once he wakes up we will go and question him and get the report that I ask from he and the deceased Ventus... After that we will decide what we will do, and Harry... You need to start getting prepared. There's only Niva now, there's a chance he could die soon and then I'll have to step down from my position as Headmistress." Sinter turned to Harry at the last statement, and gave him a hard look. Harry stood tall and nodded to his elder, before turning with the rest, so that they may get further rest before the day actually began.
Once all of them stepped out of the office, and into the dark corridors they walked in silence towards their dorm room. Morana was the first to break the silence, by talking in her cold voice.
"I pity her."
This caught everyone attention, and they turned to the oldest of them all. Yukio snorted and glared at his counterpart, "Oh, so the 'Ice Queen' actually feels emotion. Shame that she only feels pity, so why do you pity her?" Yukio sneered.
This time it was Emmillie that spoke, "Well 'Snow Prince' if you haven't noticed, Sinster had just cried in front of us, yet again. Not only those she not age and sees her guardians die one by one, but everyday she sees the one that would one day replace her." She replied effortlessly.
"There's also the fact that she sees you constantly happy, Harry. Your always with one of us, and is always smiling like this was the best day of your life. Haven't any of you wondered how she felt when she sees us everyday, how we remind her of her human life where she was content with her guardians, with absolutely no worries. Over the courses of the years, Renascentia has become her home, her life, her everything. Now she's getting closer to being replaced, day after day." Morana pointed out, while walking ahead of everybody.
Silence filled the air, as no one had anything else to say. What Emmillie and Morana had said was true, that explained why Sinster was being colder to Harry lately. Harry was probably the only one that was truly deep in thoughts, the only one that cared the most about what Morana and Emmillie had just said. Sure, Renascentia was almost his everything now, but he didn't really want to become the new Headmaster. He saw what Renascentia had just done to Sinster, how she was in so much pain as she found out that her Ventus Guardian was found dead, and her Niva Guardian in no better shape.
Time was on their side, but sometimes when Father Time is on your side you can't help but regret that. Can't help but wish that you didn't have time on your side. Harry stopped for a bit, and that's when they all stopped. They turned to Harry in confusion, but only saw him deep in thoughts. After a few more minutes of waiting Harry looked up, and gave them a reassuring smile. They of course returned it, that is until a shadow crossed by and they were all alerted now. Silence was the only thing that greeted them and they continued walking; though now it was more tense than before.
After a few more minutes of walking through the darkness, they finally made it back to their dorm room. Biding everyone good night, Harry walked into his room, as did everyone else, except for Morana, who was now awake enough to stay up for the rest of the night. Which allowed Yukio to sleep in peace, in his room.
Not once, okay maybe a few times, did they notice the shadow that followed them, in fact he was actually right outside their window, watching them as they went back to sleep or watching over the others. When he leaned too close to the window, however, Morana saw him for a brief moment before throwing something sharp towards him. Morana glared at the window and went to check on it, when she got there, there was no signs of anyone or anything there. Nothing fell, nothing was hiding on either side of her, or at the top. However she never checked from underneath the patio of the window, where he was hiding with another person, who was wrapping him in a dark black wizard robe.
RogueNya: Nope, not yet. He's still too young to be in charge, even if he those have his friend's support he's still too young. Only Ventus/Cane died, while Niva/Shiki is still alive, so nope he's not the Headmaster yet. Maybe at the end of the story he will.
NoturHeroNeMore: Yes, Harry is too young. Ren isn't happy at all, because now Sinster is sad, and the Ministry has crossed them too many times. Not to mention he's not a big fan so, yeah. They only gave him more than one reason to start war.
amak206: I'm glad that you like my story, thank you very much. Also thank you for reasurring me about the last chapter.
Ariel Night: As you can see in this chapter, Cane is in fact the Ventus Guardian while Shiki is the Niva Guardian. I was hoping one of you could guess who was who, or which was which but oh well. Thank you for the review.
10th Squad 3rd Seat: We'll see in the next chapter.
I know, I know. I'm late, but in my defence I was moving again. Internet wasn't as fast this time, so I had to wait for a few more days. I'm sorry, also I'm sorry for any mistakes that are found in this chapter, I'm in a hurry to add in my next chapters so that I can continue on. Bye and please leave a review for me. Thank you.
