disclaimer : I don't own Harry Potter. If I did, Ron x Hermione would have never existed but Harry x Hermione would have
Summary : Voldy and Crouch should have left Cassandra Potter alone. Because of them her true power has been unleashed on the world.
warnings : Godlike and unforgiving femHarry ; FemHarry x Multi; Snape, Ron, Draco bashing; regretful but unforgiven Dumbledore
AU : Angelina Johnson is Hogwarts champion
Inspired by DZ2's 'The Cache' Challenge
Plot: Lily's protection is said to have saved Harry from certain death, but this is only half the truth: in fact, the wound may have healed and the caster destroyed, but what nobody knows is that power is still there. Buried deep beneath the boy-hero. And if it is unleashed...
Rules: All affinities are welcome ( grey with dark moments)
Super/OP Harry ONLY ( of course )
The story MUST start at some point in/after 4th year ( champion selection)
The reason for this point being the starting point is because, when Harry's name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, his 'magical maturity' unwittingly breaks open a cache of hidden magic inside of Harry himself ( will do)
When and how Harry ACTUALLY discovers his cache is broken and all the magic within is now his to command is up to you, but when it happens, Harry MUST go through a transformation that rids him of his meek, naive, easy-to-knock-down appearance once and for all ( will do )
This cache MUST have 'traces' of ALL the magic used to harm/wound/kill Harry before this moment (AK, Voldemort's wraith/the Horcrux, the Basilisk Venom, Fawkes' tears, Dementors etc.) ( will do )
What exactly Harry can do with this new power is up to you, but remember, he's basically one step away from Sorcerer-Supreme-level now ( will do )
With the cache open and all the power within unleashed, Harry's magic proves too strong to use a wand and so he must either acquire a staff or some other foci OR not use a wand/staff/foci at all and become a magical wandless master ( wandless)
Obviously, the fact Harry's power has gone from 'super-meek' to 'Super-Mage' MUST cause conflict, tension and even doubt, suspicion and accusations from several people, most notably Dumbledore, the Ministry and Hermione ( Dumby and ministry I can do but you will never see any Hermione Bashing in any of my fics)
Regardless of their thoughts/opinions, Harry continues to use this new power to rise greater and more than ever before ( Why should he care about sheeps opinions)
All pairings are welcome
Guidelines: Crossovers ( not in this story)
Godlike Harry ( Hell yes )
Immortal Harry ( yes )
MoD Harry ( not yet )
Dark-Lord Harry ( Not in this story )
Post-transformation, Harry is no longer human ( will do )
Mystokinetic-Harry (Master Manipulator of All Things Magic)

The cache contains the hidden power/legacy required by Harry to become the MoD (no)

Hedwig transforms along with Harry and becomes his familiar (Let's do this )
For whatever reason, Harry ends up siding with Tom (as an equal/heir ONLY) ( No fucking way !)
There have been others capable of unlocking Harry's level of power via caches of their own (In really ancient times)
Slash ( femslash )
Harems ( yes )
Harry/Multi ( see above)
A prophecy speaks of the power within the cache ( No prophecy )
Before becoming fully-infused with his newfound power, Harry actually appears to die ( no)
Somehow, Harry discovers he can 'unlock' the true power within others ( yes )
Somehow, Harry discovers he can bind/drain/manipulate/feed on the magic in others (yes)
The Ministry try to send Harry to Azkaban, but he uses his breakout as a demonstration of his new power ( No)
Harry uses Tom/the Death Eaters as examples/guinea pigs for his newfound powers (oh yeah)
Harry uses the Dursleys as guinea pigs for his newfound powers ( Vengeance is served)

Harry turning away from the power given to him, no matter what ANYONE says
Harry needing a wand to use his magic
Harry being subservient to anyone
Cassandra Potter knew it would happens, something always happened at Hogwarts and Halloween : first year was the troll incident, second year the first attack of the basilisk, in third year was the fat lady incident with Sirius Black.
And now someone placed her name in the Goblet of Fire. She was certain that students were going to spread demeaning rumors on her, like they loved to do. So when Dumbledore called her for a second time, she stood up and...
" I swear upon my magic and my life that I didn't placed my name in the Goblet of Fire, nor I have asked another student to do it." She stated loudly before a light emaned from her.
When it dissipated, she pointed her wand towards a plate
" Wingardium Leviosa. " She said before the plate levitated for all to see, before she put it where it was.
Some students, who were going to insult her, shut their mouth, suddenly ashamed. Cassandra glared at them before making her way
" Miss Potter, please go in that room." Minerva said, placing her hand on Cassandra's shoulder.
Thanking her with a nod, Cassandra entered the room and joined Viktor Krum, Fleur Delacour and Angelina Johnson who turned towards her.
" Cassie ? What's happening ? " Angelina asked
" It's happening that someone thought it was really funny to place my name in the Goblet." Cassie answered, shocking the three.
But before they could say something, the three headmasters, Crouch, Bagman, McGonagall, Snape and Moody arrived in the room.
" Dumbledore, I protest ! Hogwarts cannot have two champions ! " Karkaroff yelled
" Shut up, Karkaroff ! Unless you have something smart to say, but I doubt it " Moody responded
" Professors, you can't force Cassie in the tournament since she didn't put her name. " Angelina protested
" Unfortunately miss Johnson, regardless of this fact, Miss Potter must participate or she will lose her magic and possibly her life." Crouch said
" And I would bet my eye that the culprit would count on this fact." Mad-Eye said
" And he or she hoped that I would die this tournament. I hope you are happy Professor Snape, your dream is coming true." Cassie spat
Snape sneered but Cassie hadn't finished
" Don't play innocent, since my first year, you tried to get rid of me : Your horrible teaching of potions, your favoritism towards Slytherins and Malfoy, points retired for reasons like " blinking too often or asking questions"- I swear it's true - your insults, the demeaning of my father... All of this means you are the most pathetic man I ever saw." Cassie said
" Everything she said is true. You weren't satisfied with harassing Cassie, you try to kill her, now ?! " Angelina added
" Misses, nobody will accuse anybody." Dumbledore said
" There we go again, the headmaster cover his pampered prince." Cassie snarked
" You are..." Snape started
" Let me guess : " Just like your father, Potter." Yes and damn proud of it, bastard ! " She interrupted him
" Miss Potter ! " Dumbledore said
" No, no one talk until I am finished. " Cassie said, shutting them up before she turned towards Snape, with rage in her eyes
" What, you thought that Lupin didn't tell me everything ? You thought that it was who would tell me that my father "bullied" you and upset me ?! Well you thought wrong ! " Cassie said before punching him on the cheek, making him fall on the ground.
" That was for my father, you bastard ! " She said before she took a deep breath
" I know you want to know why I don't react like you thought I would : Unlike you, Snape, I don't underestimate anyone. When you had me in detention, last month, I saw you didn't try very hard to discretly place your memories in your pensieve.
And when you leaved, I took a look because I wanted to know who is your real master. But I didn't saw a memory showing headmaster Dumbledore telling you a really big secret or you and Voldemort mocking the headmaster's naivety but a memory showing my father at his so-called worst.
You really took me for an idiot, it was just another mean to continue your imaginary crusade against him. I know you, Snape, you are the bastard who decided to humiliate me at every turn because you hated my father and you never attacked anyone who could fight back.
In that memory, my father used a recurvite and a levitating charm on you. Embarrassing I know, but not something that result in you being sent to the infirmary. You threw him a diffindo that cut his cheek ! What where you aiming for ? His eyes? His throat ? I don't see any other explanation. But knowing you, you started it some time before. Cursing him in the back, placing something dangerous in his drink or attacking a first year, I don't know, but I don't care.
Even if my father wasn't an angel, he was and will forever be a thousand times more a man than you : Because he was the man who fought Voldemort alone to allow his wife and his daughter to escape. He knew he wouldn't survive this encounter but he did it to save his family. Nothing and nobody will never change that." Cassie said
A deep silence followed this before Cassie turned towards the others.
" I am sorry you saw that but I had to let it out. Mr Bagman, when will the 1st task begins ?" Cassie asked
" The 24th of November, miss Potter, you will have to face the unknown. " Bagman said
" Thank you. Come Angel, we return in the tower." Cassie said before walking away with Angelina
" Wait, I forgot. " She said before returning towards snape and giving him a good kick between the legs, making him squeak and the other men wince.
" That was for calling my mother, THAT word, you greasy garbage." she told him before going back to Angelina
" Remind me to never make you angry." Angelina said while they were going.
" I agree with her." Fleur said
Snape was getting up, blinded by hatred.
" That little whore will clean all the cauldrons until she graduate." He sneered
SLAP
Snape recoiled back from Minerva's strike. Everyone seem to forget that she count on her age to deceive ennemies.
" I have never seen someone as disgusting as you, Severus Snape. Everything Cassandra said was true. You are hereby fired. So you pack your things and you get away from this castle." She said, calm but furious
Snape turned towards Albus, hoping he would override her. But all he saw was disappointement.
" I am afraid I must agree with Minerva, Severus. I was way too lenient towards you. And I wish you good luck, finding a new job." Albus said
" Professors ! Professors! We need you ! " Angelina yelled, coming back running in the room.
" Calm yourself, Miss Johnson. What's happening ? " Minerva asked
" We were walking with Hagrid when flames erupted from the goblet and they struck Cassie, we don't know what to do ! " Angelina explained
They all came back in the great hall and they saw Cassie on the ground with blue flames spreading on her body and Hagrid trying to extinct the flames by waving his long coat.
" Hagrid, step aside ! " Minerva yelled before drawing her wand "Finite" But without any effects
Soon a black liquid leaked from Cassie's scar and a light brigthened the room, making everyone close their eyes.
When they reopened it, all jaws dropped on the ground because Cassie didn't looked like she was five minutes ago.
She was now as tall as Madam Maxime and Hagrid at 11 feet 6 inches, had long red hairs, a blue dragon tail with spikes, blue horns and wings, and was extremely well muscular and curvy.
" Oh mon dieu ! " madame Maxime said
Dumbledore used his wand to levitate Cassie to the hospital wing.
( hospital wing)
Mrs Pomfrey finished examining Cassie while Minerva, Hagrid, Angelina, Hermione and Ginny, the latter two warned by Angel, were waiting.
" Minerva, when you said Mrs Potter would be a powerful witch, I thought it would happens years later, not now." Pomfrey said
" What do you mean, Poppy ? " Minerva asked
" From what I gathered, the Goblet opened a huge cache of magical energy inside Cassandra. And in this cache, there is parts of the creatures and artefacts that Mrs Potter encountered.
" Which creatures, Mrs Pomfrey?" Angelina asked
" A wraith, a basilisk, a phoenix, dementors, the Philosopher's stone, the whomping willow, the devil's snare, acromentulas, a dragon, a werewolf, an elf and an invisiblity cloak." Poppy answered
" The wraith come problably from the night Lily and James were murdered. " Minerva deduced
" Cassie was bitten by a basilisk and healed by a phoenix when she saved me." Ginny said
" I don't think we need to talk about the dementors, the stone, the plants or the spiders." Angelina said
" The part werewolf come from Lupin and the part elf from Dobby." Hermione said
" The part dragon is from Norbert." Hagrid said
" Tell me miss Granger, Miss Potter wouldn't happens to have her father's cloak in her possession ? " Minerva said, giving a knowing look to Hermione.
" It's possible, professor." Hermione awkwardly answered
After this everyone leaved the hospital wing.
( Dumbledore's office )
The headmaster had just finished talking with the judges and was reviewing what he saw during Cassie's transformation.
" This Black liquid was expelled from Cassie's scar, she described the same thing happening to tom's diary. It means that she was an anchor for Tom's soul but not anymore." Albus thought
( Cassie's mind )
Cassie awoke in a bedroom, from a place she didn't knew.
" Where am I ? " she asked
" In your own mind, child." said a powerful female voice
" And who are you ?" Cassie asked
A tall woman wearing a black dress and a Moon crescent shaped crown apparated in front of her.
" I am am Hecate, goddess of magic." said the goddess
