Harry Potter the God Slaying Sword
ESKK: Well here it is the end of Year 1 man I've been on a role with these Demonbane updates. Anyway please enjoy.
(Start)
Harry began to come around from his sleep to the sound of crunching as he tried to get his bearings and remember what he did last night. As he came to he looked about and saw Al in the bed next to him also waking up. Al was just as groggy as Harry was as he was surprised she wasn't knocked into her book form to await reforming her body.
It was then Harry heard a third voice as he looked and saw Joseph on the bed on his other side where Ron was between them as Joseph was coming to also. "Did anyone get the number of that bust?" Joseph asked as he held his sore head in pain.
"Joseph!" Ron called looking to Joseph as he smiled a bit.
"Oh my god did we die down there?" Joseph asked as he was clearly joking as Harry looked.
"No we got knocked out down there." Harry said as he looked to his friends.
"Yeah joy Moldy Butt pulled a fast one." Al said as she still remembered as she got up annoyed by this.
"Joseph are you ok?" Elisa asked with worry evident on her voice for Joseph.
"Yeah I'll be fine." Joseph said as he yawned a bit.
"Hey Ron how long have we been in here?" Harry asked as he looked to Ron on this.
"Two days now," Ron said nonchalantly surprising everyone.
"Wait Two days?!" Joseph called in shock as Al threw her pillow at Joseph.
"Quiet we are in the nurse's office!" Al called as she got up and stretched to get her bones back into place from her rest.
"Bloody Hell." Harry said as Voldemort must have hit him harder than they all thought. Harry then looked and saw the amount of get well cards on his bed side table as Al saw hers and sighed as she swore they looked more like love letters then any wellness card.
Harry then looked and saw a huge trove of Candy as Joseph looked as did Al and Elisa. "We split it 4 ways or six ways this time?" Joseph asked as he knew Hermione deserved some of this as well.
"Six ways." Harry said as the two then did a knuckle bump as Ron saw the candy here. Then Joseph held his fist to Ron as Ron looked confused.
"Well come on then." Joseph said as Ron looked very shocked. "We're friends aren't we?" Joseph asked as he looked to Ron.
"Y-yeah we are." Ron said as he did the knuckle bump as then he did the same with Harry. "Anyway I got to go I'll see you all later." Ron said as he then left to find Hermione to let them know the four were now ok and awake. Ron then stopped as he looked to Josepha and Elisa as he had to swallow his pride now after the entire first year at Hogwarts. "I-erm-I-uh-I just wanted to say that-erm-I-uh-I don't think either of you are evil." Ron said as he looked to Josepha and Elisa.
Elisa smirked and folded her arms across her chest. "Took you long enough." she scoffed. "What gave me away?" She asked as she smirked to Ron.
He refused to make eye contact with her. Instead, he stared down at the shoe twisting on the stone floor as he spoke. "Well-uh-most Slytherins wouldn't have done what you did down there." Ron said as Joseph then spoke up to ask his own question.
"And exactly what are you referring to?" Joseph asked as Ron then swallowed his pride.
"At the chess game and going after You-Know-Who. Anyone else would have just let me die there but instead you kept trying to figure out another way to win the chess game." Ron said as he knew how Joseph refused to sacrifice him to win the chess game as Ron made eye contact with two. His expression was apologetic and he seemed sincere. For the first time since Joseph and Elisa was sorted into Slytherin, he wasn't looking at them like they had some sort of plague. Not that his glance was anything special, but it was nice to not see hatred there.
"Hey your Harry's friend also so that makes you my friend so don't think I'll abandon a friend so easily." Joseph said as he smiled to his friend Ron.
"Anyway I'll see you all later ok." Ron said as he then took his leave as Joseph smiled a bit.
"Hey Harry, I better invite him and Hermione for a game of Dungeons and Dragons later." Joseph joked as Harry laughed a bit at Joseph's little joke as did Elisa.
Soon the door opened and the group saw none other than Dumbledore walk in as the four saw the old man walk in to greet them. "Madam Pomfrey tells me that you are well enough to be released." Dumbledore said as Joseph looked down as did Harry.
"Professor… the stone it…" Harry said as Dumbledore looked.
"It is unfortunate that the one called Master Therion has claimed it." Dumbledore said as he failed to see Joseph looked down in shame. "The stone is powerful and could very well be dangerous in his hands… but I feel that he won't use it right away more than likely test the waters first as it were." Dumbledore said as he honestly felt pity for Therion a victim of a curse to never know true death or eternal rest.
It seems Ronald took the liberty of opening your chocolate frog for you all." Dumbledore said as Harry looked to Dumbledore. "Presents from your many admirers I presume." Dumbledore said as Harry looked to Albus.
"Admirers?" Joseph asked as he saw his bed had some of those as well.
"What happened to you all between you, Quarrel, and Master Therion is a close kept secret so naturally everybody now knows." Albus said as Elisa chuckled as Al rolled her eyes.
"Great there goes secrecy." Al said as Albus looked.
"Well Ms. Azif I won't deny that I did find you being Abdul Alhazred's great granddaughter to be odd but when the Necronomicon is involved well it makes some sense." Albus said surprising Al who looked ready to Obliviate the elder wand holder. "Fear not no one save for us few here will be aware of this a secret like that is best to be kept under lock and key as it were." Albus said as Al eased up a bit.
"Anyhow my friend Nicholas and I had a chat and upon learning the Philosopher Stone is in Master Therion's hands now and the fact the Ministry reject his existence we agreed it be best to begin the search using different methods." He said as Albus looked. "Though you need not worry anymore of it Master Therion will be found and the stone reclaimed." Albus said as Harry and Al both disagreed on this major situation.
"If Master Therion does intend to test the waters he may be smart enough to know to do so in a place where any attempt at reclaiming it would cause an incident but also allow him to work unimpeded." Al said as she looked. "It be the smart thing to do because the Wizarding World is focused on the Statues of Secrecy being kept." Al said as she knew Master Therion knew how to use the law to his advantage.
"If I may professor?" Joseph began as he looked to Albus. "How was it that the stone came to my hands when we were down there?" Joseph asked as Albus looked between the four gathered.
"The Stone would only appear to those who wish to claim it, claim it but not use it." Albus said as Joseph then looked down a bit. "That is one of my more brilliant ideas." Albus said as Joseph then looked up.
"But sir… I DID want to use it I wanted to use it for the betterment of others not myself but that should have made it go to another!" Joseph argued as he knew deep down he was… he was a born monster.
"A peculiar thing then… perhaps you did not want to use it deep down even if it was for good intention… maybe the good intention you had intended was what brought it to your hands." Albus said as he was still suspicious of Joseph but now more along the lines he may be involved with Master Therion and not Voldemort.
"But… without the elixir… Flamel will die." Harry said as he looked guilty that now Master Therion had the stone.
"Yes… but he has enough of the elixir to make his final arrangements and one of them is to destroy the stone." Albus said as Harry looked to the window.
"Even without the stone… I have a hunch Voldemort will keep trying to come back." Harry said as he looked serious about this. "Whatever I did to do that to him I don't know exactly. But if and when he comes back I'll send him running again." Harry said as Joseph smiled at Harry.
"You do not fear him or his name?" Albus asked as Harry smiled a bit there.
"Why should I it's just a name owned by a coward trying to run away from Death." Harry said as he then looked at his hand. "And eventually Death will come to collect he just needs a little help." Harry said as he smirked at sending Voldemort to hell where he belongs.
"There is a reason why Quarrel couldn't bear to have you touch him Harry." Albus began as Harry looked. "It was because of your mother. She sacrificed herself for you and that kind of act leaves a mark." Albus said as Harry looked.
"I knew it…" Harry said as Albus was surprised.
"You knew?" He asked as Harry looked.
"Not at first… but when I made my contract with the Necronomicon… I always felt like there was someone or something hovering over me shielding me, comforting me, and giving me strength when I need it." Harry said as he looked to his hand as he clenched it to a fist. "My mother used her own soul… to put a protective charm on me didn't she?" Harry asked as he always felt like she was just there somehow in a way he could never explain it to anyone else.
"She… loved me enough to sacrifice everything for me…" Harry said as Al then sat down next to Harry putting her hand on his to comfort him as Joseph patted his friends shoulder as well. "But… sometimes… love can be the most powerful magic… and the most terrifying also." Harry said as Albus looked confused.
"I've seen it happen before." Al said as she looked to Albus. "Sometimes Love can be twisted mistaken with obsession and most of all it can be used as a weapon of death to ones enemies." Al said as she looked down knowing she had a small hand in that a very long time ago. "Love is both the most powerful magic there is… and the most deadly and dangerous one as well." Al said as Albus looked to the four.
"But… I won't let it be used for evil never again." Harry said as he knew there are those out there who would abuse love to bend one to their will.
Albus was of course impressed at how mature Harry was as he then smiled to the two boys and patted their heads before taking his leave as Harry and Joseph looked to the four.
"Ok then let's start dividing the candy." Joseph said as Al looked.
"I call a good chunk of chocolate, peanut butter and the combo of the two." Al called as Albus left.
(Scene Break Great Hall)
Everyone was wearing hats as they were having there last feat of the year as Joseph was laughing at Draco with Elisa's aid as Draco was currently under the effects of one of the twins pranks. The Trap-transforming potion which turned him into a very feminine version of himself but without causing any permanent gender change on him.
Soon the sound of Minerva tapping her chalice was heard as when Professor Dumbledore stood, the Great Hall immediately grew quiet. Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Another year has come and gone…" he started as he looked to the students in the great hall. "I hope those brains of yours are a little fuller than they were when you arrived. But fear not, you have a whole summer holiday ahead of you to empty them before next year." Albus joked a bit as his joke elicited quite a few chuckles from the student body.
"Now, as I understand it, the House Cup needs awarding. The points stand as follows: Gryffindor with three hundred and twelve points, Hufflepuff with three hundred fifty-two, Ravenclaw with three hundred ninety-eight, and Slytherin with four hundred twenty-two points." Albus said as after the announcement that they Slytherins had placed first, the entire House erupted into cheers and shouts of joy. They stood up and hugged each other, celebrating their accomplishment. Even Joseph and Elisa joined in the fun, as Joseph clapped his hands a bit as Elisa smiled at their victory.
Harry and Al with Ron and Hermione looked dejected but they still managed to smile glad that if they were to lose to anyone they were glad it was to a close friend's Hogwarts house even though Gryffindor ended up at dead last this year.
For a moment, both Joseph and Elisa felt like this was their moment, but Dumbledore wasn't quite done with announcing the awards of the house cup. "Yes, well done Slytherin. Well done Slytherin," Dumbledore shouted above the Slytherin cheers. "However, recent accounts must be taken into even and I have a few last minute points to award." He said as the Slytherins' cheers were replaced by stunned expressions.
"Here we go." Joseph whispered as he looked to Elisa both were kind of smiling at what shocking change would come about. Joseph and Elisa both knew that their shenanigans with the Gryffindor's could very well cost them points and maybe even the House Cup. Now Joseph was only really ok with it if it was with Gryffindor since his best friends were in the mentioned house.
"First to Miss Hermione Granger…" Dumbledore began as he looked to Gryffindor table where Hermione was as everyone smiled to her on this new information. "For the cool use of intellect while others were in grave peril 50 points." Dumbledore awarded as everyone cheered for Hermione as even Al was getting in on this small victory of theirs like a consolation prize that makes losing a bit bearable at times.
"Second… to Mr. Ronald Weasley…" Dumbledore continued as everyone looked to Ron on this one. "For courage to take a sacrifice when other options were undesired to all I award 50." Dumbledore announced as everyone applauded Ron on this victory.
"Third to Miss Al Azif…" He continued as Al was taking a drink from her own chalice and did a spit take into Harry's face as everyone laughed at this. "For showing incredible courage to stand by her friend's side I award her 50 points." Albus said as everyone was congratulating Al as she tried to make it look like it wasn't a big deal which the muggle born called her out as a tsunadere.
"Fourth to Mr. Harry Potter…" Albus said as eyes were now on Harry for this one. "For pure nerve and outstanding courage I award Gryffindor House 60 points." Albus said as everyone was cheering one Harry for this as Harry smiled at this as Al threw a chocolate frog she was saving before Ron had gotten to it.
Joseph and Elisa saw the Slytherins begin shouting at the Gryffindor's and the Gryffindor's began shouting back.
But Dumbledore calmly commanded them to be silent. The Slytherins and Gryffindor's sat down at their respective tables and said nothing more, but that didn't stop them glaring at each other. The poor Hufflepuffs were caught in the crossfire between the Slytherins and Gryffindor's. Professor Dumbledore clapped his hands twice so that all eyes were on him. Joseph and Elisa quieted down as they listened on to the headmaster when he spoke up once more.
"Fifthly I would like to award points to…" Dumbledore paused for what seemed like an eternity before he finished with the first from Slytherin. "Joseph Theo, for an outstanding Chess game that Hogwarts has ever seen and showing his unwillingness to sacrifice those closest to him, using his mind to think outside the box from voice to Quiddich, and most of all using what many saw as a curse to aid his closest friends I award Slytherin house 60 points." Dumbledore awarded as Joseph blushed as bit as his housemates congratulated him a bit on the small victory.
"The Sixth person I would like to award points is Elisa Ulrich." Albus said as all eyes were on Elisa for this one. "For showing incredible loyalty to her friends and showing actions spoke louder than words I award to her 50 points." Dumbledore said as everyone was shocked as this meant that if the math is done right Gryffindor and Slytherin house scores were evenly all tied up.
But then Joseph and Elisa's point victories were short lived as then Albus spoke again. "And lastly it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies but a great deal more to stand up to your friends. I award 10 points to Neville Longbottom." Albus called out as everyone was shocked to hear this that Gryffindor has won the House Cup this year.
"Now assuming that my calculations are correct I assume a change of decoration is in order!" Albus called before he clapped his hands and in turn the decorations changed from Slytherin colors to Gryffindor's color. Joseph saw his house was rightfully angry but hey Harry was his friend not like he intended to sabotage his house it just happened as is. "Gryffindor wins the house cup." Albus announced as Gryffindor cheered as Joseph clapped for the better house as did Elisa showing fair sportsmanship like Joseph had done during the big Quiddich match against Gryffindor House.
(Scene Break Hogwarts Express Train Station)
The students were all boarding the Hogwarts express as Harry and Joseph made sure there owls Hedwig and Elvira into the train as train worker took the bird cages from them to load up. Harry and Joseph then rejoined the others as Ron and Hermione got onto the train as then Harry and Joseph saw Hagrid there.
"Come on all." Hermione said as Harry looked to Hagrid as Joseph spoke next.
"One minute." Joseph said as the four headed on over to Hagrid.
"Tought you were leaving without sayin goodbye did ya?" Hagrid asked as Harry and Joseph smiled. Hagrid then reached into his pocket and took out three sets of books as two were identical and were given to Joseph and Harry each. "These are for you two." He said as Joseph got a small book with a familiar mark on it.
Joseph opened the book and saw a letter on it as he was wide eyed about it. Harry then opened the other book as did Joseph as they both saw and it was James Potter, Lily Potter nee Evans, and Nero Theron as the tree were together. They soon saw the image leading up to what Joseph and Harry saw the last image of Lily and Nero together smiling with arms around each other and on their very pregnant stomachs just like the first picture they took together. The two were smiling as it seems there was added stuff as Joseph and Harry were wide eyed at this.
"Our mothers… were friends?" Harry asked as Hagrid nodded.
"Yes sorry to hear about Nero she was a free kindred spirit she was." Hagrid said as he figured Joseph and Nero were related from the get go since the names of Joseph and Harry were pointed torts Nero and Lily's stomachs even though Nero did look very dark in the mentioned moving image.
"Thanks Hagrid." Harry and Joseph both said as Joseph's voice cracked a bit as he opened the book once more to reveal a letter as the two read it to themselves.
'Joseph my darling boy… it seems I made the right call leaving my diary with Hagrid… here you'll learn everything about me and the mistakes I made and the love I shared… Joseph please be strong for mummy ok… be strong until the end and if you're with little Harry… take care of each other no matter what –Your foolish yet loving mother Nero."
With that read Joseph held back his tears before the two ended up hugging Hagrid as Joseph wept a bit using Hagrid to hide it happy to hear his mother was smart enough to trust Hagrid with her diary. With it Joseph can now learn everything about her something he wanted to know for so long.
"Oh, go on. On with yeh. On with yeh." Hagrid shooed them of as the four soon-to-be second years turned to walk away, but Hagrid reached out and placed a hand on two boy's shoulders causing them to stop and turn around.
"Oh and look out for each other ok after all your mothers were friends also and it passed down to you two." Hagrid said as Joseph and Harry nodded to this. The train whistled and Hagrid stopped laughing and looked at the two boys rather seriously. The Hogwarts Express was about to leave any second. "Can't have the train leavin' without yeh." Hagrid picked up both the young boys, one with each hand, and placed them on the train as Al and Elisa jumped after them. . He then folded his arms across his chest and smiled. "Behave, yeh two." He warned as Joseph laughed a bit.
"Hey I can keep that promise don't know about him when I need to get him out of trouble." Joseph said as Harry pushed his friend a bit there.
"Hey you got in as much trouble as I did this year." Harry countered as Joseph smiled a bit.
"Guilty as charged." Elisa said as she smiled in amusement to them.
"Have yeh fergotten the first day we met?" Hagrid asked with an eyebrow arched. "See yeh next year." Hagrid waved at the group as Al, Joseph, Harry, and Elisa rejoined Ron and Hermione and they waved back as the train began to move.
"Feel's strange going home doesn't it?" Hermione asked after dealing with a whole year of adventures.
"Not completely just heading to my home away from home." Harry said as Al smiled as Joseph looked.
"Same here Harry." Joseph said as they waved Hagrid goodbye while the train left.
(Later in the train)
Once they got to their compartment they already began to eat sweets served to them as Joseph then shivered up a bit as did Elisa. "Joseph what's wrong?" Harry asked as Joseph stood up.
"I need to use the loo." Joseph said before he left as Elisa looked.
"I'm going to find the snack lady again." Elisa said as she followed the same way Joseph went as it was funny enough the same way snack lady went.
(With Joseph and Elisa)
Joseph reached for his robes sleeve and pulled something out as it was the Philosopher stone as Elisa walked with him. "It worked flawlessly." Joseph said as he walked with Elisa while he tossed the stone up before catching it and hiding it away in his robes.
"Yes it did Master." Elisa said as the tones they both used was completely opposite to who they portrayed themselves as to others.
"Now to deal with one last annoyance" Joseph said he found the compartment in question and then opened it surprising Draco and his cronies Crabbe and Goyal. "Hello Draco Malfoy let's talk business." Joseph said in a cold calculative tone as the compartment felt like a Dementor had just came in as he and Elisa entered the compartment as Elisa closed it behind them while applying a silencing charm.
(Inside the Compartment)
Joseph pushed Draco the window as he was scared as Joseph glared at him pulling his wand under Draco's chin. "Now then Mr. Malfoy can you tell me what these are?" Joseph asked pulling up a manila folder and opened it to reveal images, files, and many more things that would indices the entire Malfoy household as Death Eaters. Draco was wide eyed as Elisa kept Crabbe and Goyal restrained with her wand stunning them. "I see you know so let's skip the pleasantries shall we." Joseph said as he then let Malfoy go as he crawled away from Joseph only for him to grab Draco and force him on the chair.
"Sit down!" He ordered as Draco obeyed out of fear of the young First Year Joseph. "Now then I'm assuming your father bribed his way out of Azkaban now normally you would brag or comment how your family can buy their way out of any problem am I right?" Joseph asked as Draco nodded in fear. "Ok then picture this will you, I have more money than any of you could ever hope to attain from my own father and also when combined with my mother's trust vault and family vault I have enough Sickles to out bribe your father and his allies to ensure he goes to Azkaban." Joseph said as Draco got some courage.
"Is that a threat?!" He demanded as Joseph smirked.
"No it's a promise because when I'm done with the Malfoy's you'll all be shamed, humiliated, hunted down, and stripped of all your titles and I'll be there over your groveling begging form laughing at your own arrogance and ego being your undoing in the end." Joseph said as he looked to Draco who was no scared as he saw it.
"You're not bluffing." Draco gasped as Joseph nodded.
"Yes and if you want to keep your family as comfortable as possible you will do EXACTLY as I say from now on and if you tell anyone consider betraying me, or hell even give me a right answer to late I will make it so no one will EVER remember the Malfoy Family ever again." Joseph threatened as Draco nodded vigorously.
"Then we're done here." Joseph said as Elisa released the two as he then smiled at the scared trio. "I'll see you all next year then all." Joseph said as his threats held truth in just his demeanor and voice.
(Scene Break King Cross Station)
The six got off the train as Joseph smiled as he left. "Ok I don't know about you blokes but I am heading home and hitting my bed I haven't see it all summer." Joseph said as he stretched out. "Hey Ron, Hermione you two should come over I'll have the help make sure the D&D board is ready." Joseph offered as Ron smiled a bit.
"It's no problem really Joseph." Ron said as he wondered what D&D was anyway.
"What you have something to say now?" Al asked as she saw Ron was getting a bit nervous right now.
"I-uh-I just wanted to say that you must come and stay this summer," Ron said to Harry before glancing at Joseph and Elisa. "All of you." Ron offered as Joseph smiled.
"Don't know if the twins made you do it or you actually mean it but I'll take you up on that one day." Harry said as he smiled. "But Summer job may get in the way." Harry said as he was referring to the Marauders Organization.
"We understand Harry." Hermione said as she understood.
The Ministry official gave Al, Harry, Joseph, Elisa, and Ron permission to go through the barrier. Al was barely through the barrier when she was smothered by a pair of arms. Al gasped for air and looked up to see a flash of ginger hair before one arm released Al and enveloped Harry into the embrace followed by Joseph and Elisa.
"I see how it is." Ron said sarcastically. "She hugs you four before she hugs her own son."
"Oh," Mrs. Weasley grumbled, hugging the four friends a little tighter. "I have all summer to hug you, Ronald Weasley." She defended as Joseph smiled as Elisa did as well.
Al heard a giggle come from behind Mrs. Weasley. She poked her head out to see that it was Ron's little sister, Ginny. Al didn't know much about Ginny other than she was the youngest Weasley, but she waved at the girl nevertheless. Ginny waved back and even managed a smile before she turned bright red at the sight of Harry looking at her.
Mrs. Weasley released the Potter twins and then gently patted their cheeks before Joseph saw there ride. "Hey Harry, Al, Elisa our ride is here!" He called as he spotted the familiar chauffeur waiting for them.
With that the four said their goodbyes and heading to the chauffer as Harry and Joseph once more knuckle bumped each other as Al and Elisa stayed close. Unknown to many even the boys and two girls a phantom image showed the same form but with Master Therion and Etheldredra and Harry with Al looking like a light version of the two dark enemies as they too were knuckle bumping as they bid there farewells.
With that, their first year in the wizarding world came to an end as now it was time to return to important matters for both of them mainly the secret war between the Marauders Organization and the Black Lodge.
Unknown to them Nya was sitting on a bench reading a newspaper as she saw them pass by and smiled sinisterly as she watched them leave. "All according to plan." She said before returning to her reading material in her hands.
(Scene Break a week later Granger Household)
Hermione was with her parents as they seemed to have a surprised guest today as the man was none other than Gabriel as he then cleared his throat after he finished his tea. "Please pardon my unannounced intrusion but I was asked to speak with you on behalf of my benefactor." Gabriel said as he was a squib.
"It's not a problem." Mr. Granger said as Gabriel nodded.
"Now then it seems someone from Hogwarts has put in a letter of recommendation for Young Ms. Granger here due to not only her spotless academic record thus far but also because they believed her to possess great potential. So I was asked to offer Young Ms. Granger a how you say internship and yes while I do understand this is early for an 11 going on 12 year old my group is quite frankly new and working on methods to well bring the Wizarding and mundane worlds ever so closer together by bringing in and adapting mundane technology to the wizarding world." Gabriel said as the elder Grangers were shocked by this announcement.
"If you wish I can give you a tour of our facility in London as we also double as a finance and real-estate firm as well." Gabriel offered as he looked. "After the tour I will happily give you all time to think over the offer as long as you need it." Gabriel said as Hermione saw the badge.
"Um mum, dad I think we should at least hear him out and take the tour at least." Hermione quipped in as Mr. Granger looked.
"Alright when would be a good time to meet for this tour?" Mr. Granger asked as Gabriel and the elder Grangers began discussing a good time to take the tour of the facility.
(Meanwhile at the Burrow Weasley Residence)
"Oh Ron I'm so proud of you!" Ms. Weasley cheered as the Weasley home was celebrating Ron taking the firm grip of his future for this new group. In fact they even offered family and friends of their employees and interns a major financial benefit as they were a type of group Ron's father Arthur could get behind.
"Does this mean you accept?" One of the bridge crew maids of HQ now dressed in a business suit of the wizarding world asked as she looked to the Weasley family.
"Of course I accept!" Ron called out as he was going to be happy to see Harry, Al, and Hermione again sooner than expected.
"Very well then give us about a 2 or 3 day so as to get all the final arrangements made and then we will contact you Via Owl or Floo to invite you over for a tour and such." The lady said as she smiled to the happy family here.
"Will do." Arthur said as tonight they were celebrating Ron getting an internship at Crow Financial and Real-Estate Group which doubled as the Bureau of Wizarding and Muggle Research.
(Two weeks later Main Lobby HQ)
Ron and Hermione were dropped off as they looked around hoping to see Harry as they instead saw Daphne with Gabriel as they were shocked to see the Slytherin girl here. "What the bloody hell are you doing here?" Ron asked hoping this wasn't some cruel joke made by her.
"Hey don't worry she's actually the Supreme Commander of the Marauders Organization." Harry was heard as he walked in with Al.
"Yes sorry about Hogwarts I needed to keep my cover up as we tried to make connections." Daphne apologized as she offered an apologetic handshake.
"Milady we should begin the real tour now." Gabriel said as Daphne nodded.
"Ok no more dilly dallying then come along." Daphne said as soon the two new recruits went to the back room where it showed tones of files and such being handled by magic but then they arrived at a large elevator spot.
"Now first take these." Daphne said passing to Ron and Hermione Temporary ID's and Badges. "It's like the Hogwarts Express ticket stick to it and don't lose it otherwise it could be disastrous." Daphne warned as she then took out her wand and cleared her throat.
"I do solemnly swear I am the light against the dark." She said using her wand to make it soon the elevator changed to something of a fusion between science and magic as they all boarded it. They soon ended up descending to the lower bowels of the base as Daphne was in her commanding officer uniform.
(Marauders Organization Main Lobby)
The group disembarked as Ron and Hermione were awed with gaping mouths at what they saw as it was a huge base as Daphne smiled. "Welcome to the Marauders Organization you two let's begin the tour the fast way." Daphne said as she headed to what looked like a mine cart as they all boarded it to find a Goblin there.
"Tour?" He asked as Daphne nodded.
"Yes." Daphne said as the Goblin nodded as her began to put in the codes for the tour setting and soon they were off. "Now let's start the tour here." Daphne said as they arrived at what looked like a lab where people both muggle and wizard were researching and developing new gear. "This group was created to be the first and last line of defense against the Elder Gods which Harry no doubt informed you off as well as combat any and all dark lords who pop out of the woodwork." Daphne explained as Harry smiled with his Grimoire Al Azif. "This here is the R&D department we build and test out new gear for Demonbane to use in battle or for our group to use at times." Daphne said as she acted as tour guide for the two. "You two especially you Hermione may be needed to help out here when required." Daphne said knowing how smart Hermione was.
The tour in turn continued as they arrived at many different rooms the training dojo where most of the new recruits mainly wizards come to learn hand to hand combat and the likes. They passed by the field simulation room where combat situations were simulated for the trainees to go through drills and such. They even passed by the Demonbane restricted R&D room and then the command center.
"Now as well basically interns you will be needed in a large area of the base you know basics to get you all started off but we will also need to but you two through physical training so you'll both be prepared for whatever comes your way." Daphne said as Ron looked.
"Blimey Harry you parents built all of this?" Ron asked as Harry smiled a bit.
"This and then some." Harry said as soon the cart stopped.
"Demonbane holding bay we have arrived." The Goblin said as Al smiled.
"Thank you." Al said as she got off with the others.
"Now I should remind you whatever you see here stays here no one is to know of any of this until further notice especially Albus Dumbledore so I must ask you to take head in all of this." Daphne said as soon they arrived as Ron and Hermione were shocked to see the giant in all its glory.
"Introducing the Deus Machina Demonbane." Al introduced as Daphne nodded.
"You two will also be learning its systems to aid in repairs and such as needed like I said we need as many recruits for many roles as we can get." Daphne said as Hermione looked.
"Deus Machina translates to God Machine… Harry is Demonbane a God?" Hermione asked as Al chuckled.
"In times of all Deus Machina were considered gods now they're just considered as Giant Robots. But they are gods made by mankind's hands, gods weathered and sealed into steel that is a Deus Machina." Al said as she looked to Demonbane.
"Ok… when do we start?" Ron asked as Hermione agreed.
"For now it's just learning the ropes so I'll have you shadow another operative for now." Daphne said as Harry nodded.
"Yeah I myself need to get ready for tonight." Harry said as Al nodded.
"Yeah evil never sleeps after all." Al said as Daphne rolled her eyes.
(Scene Break That Night)
Harry was standing upon the Queen's estate on a full moon night in his Magius form upon a pointed spire as he looked down upon London with the Full Moon framing his form. The wind blew his long silver hair as the crimson eyes looked down upon the city he protected.
"There's one." Al said as she felt it in Arkham. "A Black Lodge Ritual let's stop it." Al said as she floated next to Harry's head.
"Yeah lets." Harry called as soon he released a burst of magic and soon he and Al were within Arkham as they saw the Ritual taking place a bit away from them. "LET'S GO!" Harry called as he went after the Black Lodge to stop whatever Elder God they were attempting to summon from rising forth into Arkham.
(Meanwhile Master Therion Throne Room)
Master Therion was sitting upon his throne with Etheldredra as on his right middle finger was the Ring of Salazar Slytherin. Master Therion then removed it as he then let it float in his hand before turning it thrice. "One… two… three." Master Therion said as he knew how to work this Deathly Hollow.
Soon Etheldredra looked as did Therion to see none other than a shocked Lily Potter here. "W-what?!" She asked as she was in shock at this.
"Lily Potter nee Evans at last I meet the dear friend of my mother." Master Therion said as Lily then was shocked.
"Nero was right…" Lily said as she realized what was going on now. "Finding Arkham was an accident of chance that should never have happened." Lily said as Master Therion smiled.
"Don't worry Ms. Potter. Soon you will be given new life once more as a test run." Master Therion said as Lily was confused by this statement. "Allow me to show you." Master Therion said before snapping his fingers as soon the three were gone from the room.
(Dr. West's lab)
The three appeared as even though Lily knew she couldn't be seen she was shocked to see the large glowing tube in the room as Dr. West worked diligently. "What are you doing Joseph?" Lily asked as she had once wanted to be considered Joseph's aunt but she saw Joseph was playing God. Ironic a Demigod playing God was unheard of. Inside the tube was Lily herself when she was 12 years old as she saw the nude little girl inside it asleep in a fetal position with wires and such attached to, her younger form.
"I'm testing the waters for the greater prize." Master Therion said as he looked to the Philosopher stone filling the tank with the Elixir of Life. "Now all she needs is a soul. Dr. West is it ready?" Master Therion asked as he walked up behind Lily who was in shock.
"Yes it is Master Therion let it rip!" Dr. West cried out as he ripped a heavy metal cord. Then Master Therion sent the Ring of Salazar Slytherin with his magic infused to the Resurrection Stone inside and rammed it through Lily causing her to cry out tin pain.
"Now Lily potter the child who died in the womb shall now be reborn as the cursed child for now." Master Therion said as Lily felt her soul being torn somehow. "A part of your soul and the dead child's soul shall enter this Homunculi making it whole." Master Therion said as Lily felt the pain course through her. "But most of all I shall call forth another from beyond the reaches of time and space after all I bet he will be delighted to meet the father who abandoned him." Master Therion as he looked to the creature.
"Who?" Lily asked as she tried to keep her soul intact.
"If he appears or not is of no consequence as he is to amuse me like Harry does but I do know of him the one with the Deus Machina Demonbane Twin Blade and with it the pilot and Grimoire Jonathan Hadrian Potter Azif and his Grimoire Another Blood." Master Therion said as he was only bringing those two forth to further give Harry a reason to kill him in there final battle to come.
"Joseph don't… you don't have to be what Yog-Sothoth made you." Lily struggled to say as she tried to talk to him and convince Joseph he wasn't a monster but Master Therion chuckled sadly.
"I'm sorry… but its already too late… this is the only way now." Master Therion said before he got what he wanted and pulled as Lily then felt the pain vanish before Master Therion sent the small soul and the soul fragment he took from Lily and sent it to the lifeless husk. "Now Rose Thorn be given new life and with that life… take the reins of Demonbane Blood." Master Therion said as Lily vanished and the girl in the tank opened her eyes to reveal green and red glowing eyes.
