Chapter 10

"Hermione we need to talk." Ron demanded, they were in the great hall, it was rather empty even though it was a weekend. Hermione was reading a book, she grabbed from the library, on healing charms, she found out by Madame Pomfrey that she could be a great healer.

"What do you want Weasley?" She answered coldly, everyone that was there was immediately shocked by the girl's coldness towards her supposed best friend. Although things have been shaky for the past week, ever since the incident, Hermione has made it her mission to keep her distance from Ron, and she got closer to the twins, even helping them out on their O.W.L's as well as spend more time with them.

"Come on you can't keep giving me the cold shoulder." He huffed.

"I can and I will Weasley." She snapped. Dumbledore was there, he needed to have her back on his team, she knew some of their secrets and she was an important asset to his plans, she could convince Harry to return, but how things were now she was becoming a rather thorn in his side.

"Now listen here you can't talk to me like that." He retorted. She snapped her head up, and glared at him. She slammed her book and quickly got up from her seat.

"You listen to me Ronald Bilius Wesley I can and I WILL call you whatever I wish and not you nor anyone will tell me otherwise." She replied, grabbing her things and leaving the great hall. Ron was stunned at her reply, some people were snickering at the boy, he was told up by a muggleborn.

"My Lord, what are we going to do about that old man." Bellatrix asked, they were at the meeting, many members all whispered in agreement.

"For now we can't do anything, but I'm going to send the sister's a note, telling them of my intentions." Tom replied. "Now for today's meeting, I need your report Severus."

"Yes my lord." Snape bowed. "That old fart still thinks I'm acting as his double agent, I reported to him, your 'anger' that we still haven't found the boy. He also suspects that the Granger girl is slowly departing his side, and joining your side, since she has been seen with your twins."

"Ah yes, my sons, how are they?" It's been nearly 2 weeks since he adopted the Weasley twins, he was surprised to find them at the foot of his doorsteps, with the whole story of Dumbledore's search for the 'greater good' and his murdering of the two most powerful witches ever.

"They have both improved greatly, thanks to Granger's help, they seemed to have taken a liking to the girl, but what's more is that, they are able to hide in plain sight from any and everyone, and spy in people without them knowing. That's how they found out that the oldest Creevey is cutting himself, and hiding behind the smile to prevent his brother knowing that he is being abused by Dumbledore."

"That man, knew that he would continue doing this, but that boy has to cut himself to be away from this hell, I cannot stand for it any longer, I know he and his brother are both muggle-born, but I cannot and will not let the students from Hogwarts be terrorized by him anymore, Bellatrix, bring their parents, and create a guest room, I want them here by the end of next week, I don't want anyone attacking them, they are under our protection, we are going to keep everyone safe."

"Yes my lord, but what is with this sudden change?" Bellatrix wondered.

"My dear Bella, I have lost my way, I have been attacking anyone who isn't a pure-blood, because they were naturally going to side with Dumbledore, but now I know how he treats everyone, and I vow never to let that happen, once we take over Hogwarts, we will make this place truly home, where no one will be hurt, and they can learn all the things they need to, in the correct way." He replied, looking at everyone with a fierce determination in his eyes. "I won't let that old, pathetic, sorry excuse for a professor, ruin the integrity of that school." Everyone clapped. "Bring the Creevey brother's, since they are on your house, Minerva."

"As you wish Tom." Minerva replied, bowing down, a small glint of hope in her eyes. We will finally return this place to it's once beautiful glory, she thought.

Piper was looking around in the club looking for Leo. "Leo! Where are you?" She called out, no answer. "LEO! I know you're somewhere here, come out!" Still no answer. "LEONARDO WYATT YOU ANSWER ME RIGHT NOW!" She bellowed, she turned around and saw someone coming out of the copy room, Leo looked at Piper, his eyes pitch black, he quickly looks away.

"PIPER!? What are you doing here?" He asks, trying to hide his eyes,

"What is wrong with you? What happened to your eyes?"

"Nothing, it's nothing." He said, he looked directly at her eyes, his eyes back to normal.

"Ugh, never mind, have you booked the band?" She shook her head.

"Um... no I haven't, I tried but there are no available bands."

"Ugh, I guess we have to do the DJ again," she sighed. "I'm going to the manor, to check on Seamus, he seemed to have been able to control his powers." She said, giving him a peck on the cheek before leaving. Leo's eyes flickered from blue to pitch black, then back.

"Seamus how are you feeling?" Dudley asked, they were sitting on the living room, Chris and Wyatt, were at school.

"It's great, I really feel protective around you all, it just I miss my friends."

"Like who?"

"Dean, Lavender, and Dra..." He quickly blushed when he was about to say someone's name, which didn't go unnoticed.

"And who?" Dudley raised his brow.

"Um, nothing, so are you controlling your magic?" He replied, quickly trying to change the subject. Merlin I almost said I missed Draco... why would I feel a connection with that Slytherin, if we only talked 3 weeks ago, he thought. I couldn't... right? I mean I can't like Draco can I?

Cole was pacing around his room, he couldn't believe he finally got to talk to his son, it felt right, but there was also a part of him, that made his blood boil when he heard about his son's treatment at the hand of those mortals.

**Flashback**

Cole was in the classroom, looking over the progress of his students. Especially his son's, he was proud to know that he already caught 3 marker's. There was a knock on the door. "Come in." He said. The door opened, and Harry walks in.

"Hello... dad." He said, hesitantly.

"Hello... son," he replied, he couldn't believe that he was called dad, he never thought he would be able to be called like that, but it felt right, and he loved it.

"I want to talk to you."

"Fine let's go to my quarters" He held out his hand, when Harry took it they shimmered to his quarters. "You want something to drink?"

"Coffee, two sugars, and cream."

"I see your mother has shown you the fine art of a cup of Joe?" He smiled as he handed the boy his drink.

"Actually it was aunt Piper, she was the first to teach me the finer art of making a mean cup of joy." He joked.

"So... what can I do you for?"

"I wanted to say hi, and tell you that I already awoken from your side, as well as the power from the source side of you."

"What!" He was stunned to know that his son would have the power of the source, it was unheard of.

"Yes, I have pyrokinesis and energy ball, from the demonic side. And I have energy blast, increased strength and speed, shapesifting, and flaming."

"I see... please be careful, with the source's power, it comes from immense rage, and it's stronger and will try to over power you."

"I know, I also have the power of levitation, pathokinesis, and... um luring." He blushed in embarrassment.

"Luring? You can make anyone fall for you?" He asked, a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"Yeah, um it was thanks to my 'uncle's' forcing me to learn, how to... um... dance like a stripper, which seemed to have awaken my luring abilities." He tried to look at him with a calm face, but it was really embarrassing, to tell them.

"That bastard." He growled.

"It's okay, I already got over it, I just wanted to know, if you knew you had this power."

"No, only a Succubus, the Siren, and the goddess of Love, had that power, but I don't know how you could have this ability." He wondered.

"But I'm none of those, I'm still haven't dated anyone."

"I'll see what can I can do."

"Um do you think you'll be able to meet my mother? Do you even lover ever?"

"I might, but with our history makes it difficult. I will always love her no matter what happens to me, I will love her, it's what kept me smiling through all my sadness."

"Thanks, I can tell she also still have feelings for you, well I have to go, I have one more marker to get."

"Good job, well please try to come back whenever you desire." He smiled.

"I will, bye dad." He got got up and gave his dad a hug, before leaving.

Everyone was in a Great Hall, there was tension in the air, everyone was waiting for the two schools to arrive so they can begin the tournament. Dumbledore got up and cleared his throat. "Ah my young ones, rejoice since we have finally begun to start the tournament, now without further ado, from our sister's of the north, the lovely young lady's from the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, and their headmistress Madame Olympe Maxime.." He announced, as the doors opened. A group of young ladies, appeared, they were wearing a long knee length silky baby blue dress, along with a short baby blue cape. They were wearing black stockings, and baby blue heels. All the boys were mystified by the girls beauty more so for two in particular, the oldest had beautiful long silvery-blonde, and dark blue eyes, she was running along with them, as they stopped a bit of the time to send out butterflies. The girl next to her was a twirling girl, in a red and dark blue leotard, she also had silvery-blonde tied in a ponytail, and dark blue eyes, there was something about the two girls that attracted all the boys to them, they were mesmerized more by their movements. A lady was walking in with them, she had long black hair, and stunning brown hair, she was a few feet taller than the girls, she wore a long silky baby blue knee length dress, she was wearing it with a long silky cape. At the end of the hall the let out a lot of conjured butterflies as the two girls did a cartwheel and they bowed. Everyone clapped, many boys whistled, while the girls rolled their eyes at all the boy's action, groaning out 'boys.'

"Dumbledore, thank you for allowing us into your school." She said, smiling at the man, as they hugged each other.

"You too Maxime, you are always welcomed here." He replied. "Now our brother's from the south, the proud sons the Durmstrang, and their High master... Gellert Grindelwald." He pointed to the doors that were doors.

At the same time as the Beauxbatons were being introduce, a group of boys arrived, lead by Grindelwald. "Now you must know that we are here to continue on the peace between our schools, any disrespect will be dealt with severely, am I understood?" He stated, they all nodded in agreement.

In the back of the line, there were three students, Ian, Viktor, and another boy. However, this boy was wearing a crimson red cloak, partially covering his face, leaving only below the nose exposed. Ian leaned in towards the boy, "are you ready?" He simply nodded, afraid he might chicken out.

"Don't worry, we won't let him get you, besides we're the Crimson Shadow right, the most powerful wizards in our school." Viktor placed a hand on the boys shoulder, he felt a blush coming on, but he controlled it, now wasn't the time to go all gooey while we are in enemy territory, he thought.

"Alright you two, go on ahead, so he can have finish this entrance off." Grindelwald announced, as they heard their school name called. He quickly looked at the boy and gave him a small smile as the doors opened. They marched in with their walking sticks, pounding down sending sparks, once they got to the middle the sticks turned back into their wands, they all spread out, some were standing on tables, other's were between the tables. The girls from Beauxbatons rolled their eyes, but then quickly stopped as they saw Viktor, Ian, and Grindelwald walk in, one boy on each side. Everyone began doing flips, and crazy gymnastic movements, people where whispering as they saw Viktor walk in. they stopped at the end of tha tables and raised their wands.

"It's him, that's Viktor Krum." Ron sighed, although quickly recovered. Then all their attention went to the boy in the hooded cloak, as he gracefully walked in. Neville's heart gave out a leap, as he knew who the mystery boy was, the students on the table and on the floor also raised their wands. A small spark comes out of their wands, once the boy is in the middle. They all lower their wands and shoot the sparks at him, everyone gasp and try to cast a protego charm, but he raises his hands, and he begins to levitate spinning around, collecting the sparks until it become a great big fire. He stops spinning and snaps his fingers, as the spinning fire stops moving and turns into a Phoenix with the boy in the middle, he slowly descends and takes his hood off, everyone gasps as long silky midnight black hair, with streaks of crimson red, are revealed, and everyone is even more shocked, to see the most beautiful shade of emerald green eyes, that they have ever seen. He bows down, and smirks at the man string at him, shock, surprise, and fear in his eyes. I'm back Headmaster, he grins.

"Harry!?" Those words come out of the headmaster's lips as everyone takes in the boys new physique.

"I'm back Hogwarts," he grins menacingly at everyone, more so at Ron and Hermione, who offers him a sincere sad smile.

"Ah Dumbledore, my old friend how is life treating you?" Grindelwald, speaks up, as all of the Durmstrang students return to their position and smirk at the stunned looks of all of the Hogwarts' students.

"Um... Grindelwald, life is good, my dear friend." Dumbledore replied, as they both hugged each other, this was not what I had in mind, he thought.
