Harry Potter And Voldemort's Ally
Part 26

Hermione wept. And wept over James body, blood still flowing from the wound and other wound all over his body. Her robes were covered with his blood as were her hands. She couldn't stop her tears, the came, and came. Arabella put her arm around Hermione's shoulders, trying to comfort her, but to avail.

Harry also cried, slowly tears made there way down his face, and down onto the ground. He couldn't find anything that could comfort him, even with Sirius holding him, trying to comfort him, he couldn't get away from the simple fact James was dead, and from that came grief. Ron was crying as well. He felt the same as Harry.

Lupin watched the whole thing , fighting back tears himself. If only there was something they could do, but nothing, no magic, not charm or potion could bring back the dead, nothing could.

Arabella whispered in Hermione ear "Come on Hermione, there's nothing that you can do" Hermione didn't look up but screamed "There has to be?" And before Arabella could answer another voice called out "There is something we can do for James" Hermione wheeled around to see Dumbeldore staggering up to them, holding a spear, the spear head melted. He was using it as a walking stick.

"We may be able to help him" Dumbeldore said, his voice was dazed, and he was quite white, but he still had a small twinkle in his tired, old eyes. 'What Professor?" Harry asked. Dumbeldore walked, staggered closer. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his wand. "What are you going to do Professor?" Ron asked, in a strained voice, 'I'm going to stop his body fully shutting down" He told him, and pointed his wand at James and said softly "Cryoisma! " And James skinned was engulfed in soft, white/blue glow.

"What did you do Albus?" Lupin asked quickly. Dumbeldore answer slowly "James, is very badly injured, I've put a suspend animation spell on him, he'll no be injured any further or lose any blood as long as the spell is active" He sighed and murmured in Lupin's ear "The chance that he will live is nearly nonexistent but it still can happen, however small, but I fear that his is already dead, and to far to be return to this world" Lupin nodded, his face hiding his emotions.

"But he's already dead, there's nothing we can't do any to help if he's dead!" Hermione said, finally managing to stop crying Arabella reflect her sentiment. "There's always a chance, now I think he'll need to see Madam Pomfrey soon" Dumbeldore called. They began to gathered the injured and the dead from among the bodies of the Death Eaters and Prism. Arabella levitating James' body off the ground and began to float it away with the others.

Of the 35 Aurors that had entered the forest, 17 left alive, 3 were injured, the others, all dead. Hagrid walked away, sniffing, but Dumbeldore caught his arm, "Hagrid" He murmured. Hagrid looked down at the Professor, he sniffled and then said "Yes, Professor?" Dumbeldore sighed at before the he began to tell Hagrid of what he wanted to do "Hagrid are all the animals in the forest dead?" Hagrid sniffled again and nodded. Dumbeldore said softly "I'm going to burn the forest down" Hagrid jumped back, shocked "Professor, you, you can't just burn the Forest down, it's been her since the four founders came and starred the school!"

Dumbeldore gave him a trouble look and said quickly "Hagrid, too many have died here, I don't want it here as a permanent remainder of the death that has happened here, when the burning has stopped, I will help you replant the forest, and create a memorial, for all those who have died" Hagrid gave a him a copy of his trouble look, and was about to say something when Dumbeldore said "No buts Hagrid" Hagrid nodded.

They reached the edge off the forest, they left it to see Hogwarts many window still a light, and a half moon out. As soon as the last man was out of the forest, Dumbeldore called out "Tonight many have died at the hands of evil" He pointed at the forest "And tonight, we make sure that the same evil and death that has visit, will never come again" He raised his wand and cried out "Liianus Impacayr! " Lightning streaked from the the sky, and hit the forest, and then another bolt came from above, and another.

Each time a bolt hit the ground a blast of flames of flames and sparks set a tree alight, and a bush. Finally stopped, and by then the Forbidden Forest was well alight. They continued towards the castle, the strange group of injured and dead. They finally reached the doors. Albus waved his wand and the doors flew opened, and they saw Professors Flitwick, Vector and Sprout with wands pointed towards them.

Flitwick let out a gasp of delight "Albus, you alive" And then saw the dead, injured, and James. He sighed as he saw them said quietly "Madam Pomfrey is expecting you" He pointed up to the staircase. Albus nodded. And the procession continued, up and up the stairs, past doors, until finally they reached Hospital Wing. Hermione, Harry and Ron, who were in the lead with Sirius and Dumbeldore pushed open the doors.

The Hospital Wing was as usual as every, except this time three white robed witches and wizards stood there as well. Madam Pomfrey who had on a white apron, with many pockets, pushed her way in front of the people and gasped at the sight of them. The white clad people (who turned out to be nurses) hurried to gather the injured and tend to there wound, a witch came from Harry but refused to go. Madam Pomfrey then saw James body.

She let out a gasp and said "Bring him over here" She walked over to a stone bench, that had totally escaped there glances. It was padded with a small mattress that covered all the stone. Arabella float James' body onto the stone bench. Madam Pomfrey murmured a charm and the blue/white field disappeared, and blood flowed from his wounds.

She gave a sigh as she examined him. Hermione's cried anxiously "Can you save him?" She shook her head "The blade went right through his stomach, through a lung and just missed the spine, he's lost almost half his blood, and he's already dead, there's nothing I can do except heal the wounds, and that looks hard because the weapon that did this was poisoned, and has a dark taint that has gone into the wound"

"But he will live,right?" Hermione asked, new tears filling her eyes. Madam Pomfrey sighed "I'm not sure, I'm sorry Hermione but he's probably gone already" Hermione let out a rasping cry and she began to weep again. Dumbeldore said to Madam Pomfrey, "Do everything you can Poppy" He said. Madam Pomfrey nodded. She removed her wand from a pocket and began to say an incantation. Slow words that none could understand drifted through the air.

James' body was engulfed in a white glow, and he rose from the bed. It looked like he was being lifted by something holding him in the middle because he rose into the air with his arms,head and legs hanging behind him as his middle was dragged upwards. Then they saw the blood stop flowing, small cut's that had littered his body began to disappear, as if suddenly told to grow back to normal. But the gapping wound in his middle didn't change, it remained the same, blood leaking from it still.

He was slowly returned to the bed, all the minor cut's and wounds gone, but the main one in his middle remained. She reached into another pocket and pulled a small vial of green liquid. It bubble slightly as she shook it, before removing the cork, and dropping a few drops onto James wound, it smoked as soon as it touched the red wound. She dropped at least ten drops on before closing the vial. "Stand back" she said "And shield your eyes, it will be very bright"

They moved back a bit, and got ready to cover theirs eyes, Madam Pomfrey began to murmured another spell, then she steadily grew louder, steadily, every steadily, until she reached the limits of her voice, and let and terrific shout and a beam of pure light shot from he wand. It hit James' wound a blinding flash, the light was so bright it was like looking into the sun, but it felt very cold.

The white light had engulfed James chest and stomach. The light was so bright they could see his chest or stomach through the light. It vibrated just as Harry's wand had vibrated last year. Then, as sudden as it had began, the light stopped. And James chest and stomach came into view. Not a lot had changed but some of the wound had heal, but that was still only a little. "I'm sorry, Madam Pomfrey said, in an exhausted voice. "There's nothing I can" A window in the Hospital suddenly swung open with a massive crash, and in flew Ember.

A few people swore, but mainly just gapped at the beast that just flew in. It left a burning trail in its wake as it flew over to them, Madam Pomfrey backed away as the creature landed next to James, and laid it's head upon his wound,and began to cry. A mournful chorus of beautiful music began to fill the room. Echoing it got louder and louder. It sound mournful, upset, but still in there was a hint of beauty. Finally the Phoenixuss grew quiet. Madam Pomfrey moved closer to James, but Ember's flames grew suddenly hotter as she approached, almost warning her off. Harry saw that the flames weren't even burning James.

Madam Pomfrey said quietly "There's nothing I can do for James now, I'll have a look at you now Albus" But as Madam Pomfrey approached him he see loudly "I'm not as badly injured as the others, Poppy, I think Harry,Ron and Hermione need treatment more than me" Madam Pomfrey nodded, and ushered them over to a beds.

Madam Pomfrey came to Harry's side first, and gave a quick look over his wounds, and sighed "How can such a boy get in such a bad state" She murmured. And then loudly she she said "The bones in you arm are splintered and three ribs are broken, one also has been splintered" She pulled from a pocket a small vial of purple liquid, a potion no doubt "Drink this " She said pushing the vial to Harry's lips. He drank, it tasted like boiled cabbage mixed with rotten eggs. Harry coughed, "What was that?" he managed to ask, a sudden wave of pain from the cough making him gasp. 'A potion to put you out for a few hours and stop the pain, now hold still" As soon as she finished talking she felt himself become very comfortable on the bed and drift away into another realm, but not before he felt a burning all over his chest and his arm, and that was the last thing he felt.

Ron was next. She gave one look at his wound and began to drip the same liquid she had put onto James' wound. It burnt furiously and he let out a gasp. And again she pushed the vial of sleeping potion to his lips as the wound burned, he tried to stop it going down put Madam Pomfrey held his nose shut, and was force to drink the concoction. She replaced the potion in a pocket and murmured and charm and Ron felt his skin crawl around the wound, he blinked, and his world suddenly slipped out of focus, he clawed for the image of the Hospital Wing, put it all drifted away....and.....nothing.

Hermione was last to be seen to, she was trying to struggle from the bed when Madam Pomfrey came, she gently pushed her back onto the bed saying softly "You can't help James if you dead as well" Hermione thought for a moment and nodded. She lay back down. Madam Pomfrey covered her burns with a sharp smelling salve, it felt cool and soothing, Finally she force down the the sleep potion. As Hermione finally gave into the powerful potion she said sleepily "Do you think James will live?" Then she fell asleep. Madam Pomfrey sighed and shook her head mournfully "I don't think so Miss Granger"









The grass was soft, warm under the midday sun, a cooling breeze blew through the air, shaking the grass quietly. He felt so warm here, so relaxed, he could lie here forever. He didn't open his eyes when he suddenly felt a sharp pain at his left hip, he could just forget about it, and lie here. But he felt it again, and then with a flash , his minds eyes showed him something, he shouldn't see:

A man, reddish hair going down his shoulders across on his head, fair feature, clad in full armor, and massive sword in his hands, he lay waste to anything before him. He had never meet this man, never known this man, but he knew his name Redric Liam Carlson, a voice whispered in his ear. Then another flash and.....

The boy was fifteen, brown/black hair, a long scar and hazelnut and green eyes. He wore clothes causal, a red tee-shirt and orange shorts. He was running after his friends, friends he had known, and then names came into his head Sam, Luke, Jordan, Martin, Arthur, Anna, Mara. Then names came from nowhere ,he had never known these people, or had he? He asked himself "Who am I?" a voice whispered in his ear, in a sweet tone said "You are James, you are Redric" and then everything vanished from within his mind, and then, he knew who he was.

James rolled up, a hand grasping his sword and pulling it from his scabbard. He looked around, sword raised. A forest lay around him, birds sang a merry jig in the trees. The sun was high in the sky, a in the distance a castle lay, Hogwarts. Then there was a swish from behind behind him, and he spun round, blade raised. Four black robed figures stood before him, all with hood on their robes of the darkest black. A voice sound from beneath one of the hoods, a adult, rather deep voice "I'm glad you are awake Mister Wills, we have a few things to discuss"

James shook his head " Who are you ?" The same voice replied nearly instantly "We are, what you would call spirits, souls, you are in the realm of the soul" James gasped, souls that meant, they were dead, then he must be... The suddenly he knew, he saw Voldemort, he saw he friends faces, he saw his blood, his body, the wound. "I'm dead aren't I " he gasped, unable to get around the words I'm dead . The soul laughed "Your time here will come one day, but not you are not dead, but hanging in between the realms of the living, and the dead"

James looked around "Where are we?" He seemed to recognized the area, but couldn't quite place it. "You're in the Forbidden Forest forty years from the present day" James gapped, forty years! Staggering he asked "What do you want ?" Another voice answered this time, old, but still full of energy. "We are here to warn you, there is great evil approaching" James answer back, but inside he felt Evil, yeah right "What evil?" He asked. "Many generation ago a lord sent created the most evil scourge known, we banished this evil upon a comet, and killed the lord, but before we did, he swore his creations, would return to haunt our children, and now they are"

James shook his head, what is all this he thought "What kind of evil?" He asked 'We can't tell" The voice answered "We strain fate as it warning you, but you and your friends success depend on this, time grows short, one question and you will leave this world" James thought then asked again "Who are you?" The deep voice said "You bear my armor" Redric Carlson!!!! "By God!" James swore, and then the ground suddenly shook "It is time!" The old voice said.

Cracks appeared in the earth, but then another voice came a female voice, kind and happy "Tell Harry we'll come soon" And then another male voice, younger called "His parents miss him" and then the earth cracked under him and he fell, he yelled out in vain, he fell into blackness, blackness, and then, he hit something, and everything shattered around him, and he knew no more!

Well ,well, well, James really dead, and what of this evil? More soon!
