Authors Notes: Well, here's chapter six folks, I hope you like. And please read and review.
-Chapter Six-
Harry looked calmly at the man, acting as thought he had no idea what had been said in the room behind the teachers table.
"Why all of us?" he asked. He was painfully aware that the whole school was following their every move.
"I have some questions that only the individual that they concern can answer." Came the silky reply. "I am sorry Mr Hunter, but I must insist. If you'll follow me?" Campbell added and mentioned towards the doors of the Great Hall.
Harry and the rest had to follow, or it would be clear that they knew something. They followed Campbell out of the Great Hall, through the Entrance Hall and onto the school grounds.
James looked around at his friends and noted that Nick looked extremely nervous and worried.
"Hey, what's wrong?" James asked. "They are only taken out for questioning."
"If it only were that," Nick replied.
Now the Marauders were getting interested.
"What do you mean by that?" Lily asked.
Nick told them about the conversation he, Harry, Ron, Draco, Raven, Eminor and Neville had had in the Hogwarts kitchen, though he did leave out a few details.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Sirius said in disbelief. "By the way, why does Harry let you in on his secrets?"
"I've known Harry for some years now, and I tell you, he's the best person in the world. When my mother died last year, he took care of me, and still does. My father disappeared a long time ago." Nicholas told the complete truth here. "Harry's like the big brother I never had."
"Then we better help him." James said out of the blue. The others looked at him. "I brought the Invisibility cloak. You have one Nick?" the teen nodded and took the cloak out of a hidden pocket. "Good, now lets go."
They organised themselves, so that under James' cloak was him and Lily and under Nick's was the rest of the group. Peter had down right refused to come on such a mission.
They walked quietly over to the doors of the Great Hall and slipped out easily. Nick looked up through the windows and his mouth dropped open in horror. From outside you could see that spells were flying here and there. A golden light illuminated the ceiling.
Nicholas ran out from the cloak and straight to the closed doors. He tried to open them with spells and with force but they wouldn't budge. Then he whirled around to the Marauders.
"Get the Professors! Quickly!" something in his scared tone made them obey.
Sirius and Remus ran back in wile James, Lily and Nicholas combined their powers to open the doors. In the next second the three of them were on the floor having to duck a curse.
There was a full scale battle going on outside. Campbell was nowhere to be seen. Eminor was jumping around the battlefield and was shooting with his bow, now and then using his powers to turn a spell away or to send one of his own. Ron and Draco were fighting back to back, each against several black-dressed Death Eaters. Raven was almost impossible to see due to his unnatural speed. There was also a full-grown griffin there. It was helping some Death Eaters loose their heads, while trying to avoid curses sent its way. But there was something else that caught the teenagers eyes.
Off to the side of the battlefield were to people. They were standing opposite each other. One of them was surrounded by a bright, golden light, while the other was bathed in shadows.
James could hear the rest of the school coming up behind them. He saw Nick running towards the two figures that were fighting away from the rest of the battle, and followed. He knew that the rest of the Marauders and Dumbledore were following him closely.
When they came close enough they recognised one of the people. Surrounded by the golden light was Harry, but he was different. He was dressed in all black clothes, just like the first time James had met him on the Hogwarts Express. But now he also had a golden sword and a silver dagger that he was using with ease.
The other man was also dressed in black, and had a black sword he was swinging and a black, long dagger he tried to stab with. One side of the man's face was burned and horribly wrinkled, and the icy, blue eyes were filled with immense hatred.
"Give up!" the one surrounded by shadows said. "Give up, and I might let you and yours live for another day!"
"The word of a Dark Wizard isn't worth a pile of shit." Harry growled back as the swords met. "Dudley, I'm giving you this chance. Stop this madness." Harry said as he danced out of the black swords way all the while ducking curses. "You can come back to us Dudley. I can whip your memory out and take away what Voldemort gave you. You will have a normal life like you had before all this started."
"Don't call me by that name!" Dudley yelled. "And you want me to believe in you Gamemaster?! I did believe in you years ago! I trusted you to come and help me, but you never did!" Dudley sent another curse towards Harry, who took it on his sword. "You were never grateful for what we did for you. We could've easily given you to an Orphanage, but didn't. We took you in, you and your abnormality!" the last word was followed by a fireball.
"Dudley, if I had known that you were alive back then, I would've come." Harry said while jumping out of the way of curses and Elements sent his way. He didn't reply with his own magic, still having hope for Dudley. "This is your last chance to take my offer, Dudley." He said.
"Never!" Dudley yelled. "You are going to die Lord of the Light! Avada Kedavra!"
The green light came towards Harry, but he just stood there. Nick and the rest were horrified beyond words. Suddenly, at the last moment possible, Harry's hands shoot out and the green, deadly beam hit them. There it began to gather. Dudley tried to break the link that now existed between him and Harry, but couldn't. The shadows around him were sucked into the green beam and into the ball of power that was shaping in Harry's hands. In the end Dudley screamed and fell to the ground. Harry concentrated and managed to make the ball of power disappear, bit by bit.
He was tired. It took a lot of energy to take someone's power away from them. Harry began to sit down, but before he even could reach the ground something happened. The earth behind him quickly shaped itself into a high- backed, comfortable chair. Harry sat into it without even bothering to think where it came from.
Shadow positioned himself behind the chair and brought his head down to Harry's level. Harry began to scratch the griffin behind the ear. Nicholas, Ron, Draco, Eminor and Raven came over after finishing with the last of the Death Eaters. The rest of the school kept at a distance.
"What happened?" Draco asked. "Is he dead?"
"No, just back to being what he was meant to be. A Muggle." Harry replied. "God, I feel like I've been run over by a truck."
"What are we going to do about him now?" Ron asked.
"If he runs loose he will cause trouble, so the only thing I can think of is to put him into a Muggle Madhouse." Harry replied then he contacted Neville telepathically. //Nev, we need you down here. Come as quickly as you can, and bring your herbs.//
A minute later Neville appeared with a bag over his shoulder. He took one look around then hurried over to Harry.
"You are crazy, you know that, right?!" he said as he reached them. "I just asked the Element of Earth what happened and she told me everything. I say it again: you are crazy! Here, drink this. It's a Strengthening Potion." Neville then moved over to Dudley. "What should I do with him?"
"Take him back and put him in a Muggle Madhouse. That's the only thing we can do." Harry said after drinking the potion. "Oh, and remember to dress out like a Doctor, and say that he will have to stay there for life."
"Got it." Neville levitated the unconscious body and was gone before you could blink.
Dumbledore had watched the whole scene in wonder. He had been shocked to hear Harry called 'Lord of the Light'. But it had to be true. None would mess around with something like that. Not even Voldemort.
The old Headmaster gathered his courage and walked over to the group. He was curious to say the least.
"Excuse me," he said. "But who was that man that was knocked unconscious?"
"That was Voldemort's apprentice." Harry replied. "And my cousin." He added.
All thoughts Dumbledore had were thrown out the window. He hadn't even known that Voldemort had had an apprentice. He looked closely at the young man sitting in front of him. The old Headmaster could sense the immense power Harry had now. And there was no doubt that he was the Lord of the Light.
"If there's anything we can do for you, My Lord-" Dumbledore began but was cut off.
"Please, Professor, don't start with that." Harry said. "Just call me Harry, and I'll be happier that you can imagine." Harry noted that Raven the Vampire was looking slightly guilty about something or other. "Is something the matter Raptor?" he asked.
Raven looked at him. There seemed to be an immense longing for something in his eyes, and Harry knew at once that something was bugging the Vampire. Raven came over to them.
"I haven't been completely truthful about my name, My Lord." He said.
"What are you babbling about?" Draco asked.
"My name is not 'Raven' or 'Raptor'," the Vampire took a moment to gather all the courage he had, then continued. "It's Salazar Slytherin."
