I own nothing

Hedwig deposited the bags and note. The note said

'Sorry for owl napping your familiar. The only way I can contact you safely without certain people finding out. My apprentice for one. Anyways' you can call me Mr. Fleming, I am or was an Aethermancer before you and wish to assist you in mastering your abilities in order to defeat the Ethermancer. One cannot exist without the other, the pouches contain books, biographies and what not on the powers and the abilities of the Aether and Ether Mancers.
Word to remember our imagination is our weakness.
Good Luck
I. Fleming.

Harry hid the note "It was a from an I. Fleming. He know's." He murmured to Katie who gulped but she schooled her features "What did he say?"

"Said that Aethermancer's are given their considerable powers to combat those who have harnessed the power of Ether. Similar but yet so different, one is more protective and the other more destructive but that doesn't mean they can't protect and destroy as effectively as each other."

Katie nodded "Anything else?" Harry shrugged "The powers cannot exist without the other. So when Tom is finished my Aether and his Ether will both vanish until the next time they are prophecised to re-emerge. Oh and Fleming's apprentice cannot know that he's still alive."

Katie nodded "You're not going to tell..." She looked down the table to see Hermione and Lavender in a fast and furious discussion "Them?" Harry smirked "Give it ten seconds." True to his words the duo erupted into a blazing argument.

"Ginny is my bet still standing and legit?" Harry called to fiery redhead. "Seventeeth June this year? Considering where we are. Yes and no Harry, you cannot interfer. If you do I'll sic Neville on you." Harry actually listened and nodded. Neville was turning into a proper juggernaut of a kid. He dissapeared most mornings until breakfast and dissapeared again after lessons.

Whatever he was doing was working for him. "Harry, I want to show you something." Harry looked and Nevile was standing behind them. Harry stood up and quickly followed Neville, the only one who noticed was Clark who was acting as Interim Minister Bone's Bodyguard and paper carrier.

"You can go track them down if you want...Tonks and Shackelbolt are here now." Clark nodded, bowed and took off out the doors following the three students who had just left. The auror tracked them easily upto the seventh floor when suddenly a bolt of magic blasted down the corridor. Clark smirked and snapped his wrist and a japanese blasting hex connected firmly with the bolt of magic "I'm Anthony Clark an Auror and I was interested in what had you three going in such a rush."

"Shit...An Auror...What do we do?" The speaker was a girl, Katie Bell if he remembered correctly. Had the tendency to launch some very earth spells more specifically earthquakes if her boyfriend didn't lash out with raw magic. He conjured a white flag or rather transfigured a bottle cap into the first white object he thought of which happened to be boxers and then creating a stick stuck it above his head. "I hope we can pass this off as you've found something interesting and got spooked."

"If we can't?" Asked Katie "Unfortunately I'll have to fill in some paperwork on attacking a member of the aurors." He heard a whispered conversation "We're sorry. It's just Neville found something that didn't agree with him and wanted me to have a look at."

Clark grunted "May I have a look. I swear should anything come to this I'll say it was a dueling accident unless its dark and or illegal than as you know duty first." Harry looked at Clark, the man didn't look like much but if what the Prophet said was true he was singleminded about finding the unadulterated truth and had no qualms about getting it. His report was riddled with misdemeanours but his case record was something to be proud of considering he'd only graduated Hogwarts, a year before Harry joined and breezed auror training when Harry was dealing with the Basilisk.

Neville nodded and opened the door Clark's eyes widened at the mountain of treasure and artefacts in the room in front of them "I felt something disgusting in here. It felt Harry like a colder form of your Aether."

Clark stopped "Potter...are you an Aethermancer?" Harry nodded and he turned to Neville "I'll find it." With that Harry went limp, his head fell and he began to levitate as a cobalt blue aura surrounded him and his eyes turned pure cobalt blue. Nothing is impossible save for your imagination. "FIND IT!"

Clark watched as the tendrils shot off into the darkness of the Room "I'm so not telling anyone about this."
