Harry Potter and the Quest for Survival By: Amy

"Harry!" Sirius said again as his godson made no reply but just leaned back in chair with his head down.

"Harry?" Remus called this time.

"Just give me a second, ok?" He sounded winded and tiered After a while he was calm enough to explain. " I had another vision with Clio, she showed me where the portal was, It's in a clearing, and it's actually quit far."

"How far do you think it is?" Questioned Sirius

" It's about 1 week away from here." His godson answered

"That long! why so far?" Harry just shrugged

"Well if it's that far we better be going to bed soon, because we have to be up early again." Remus said

They all agreed and after finishing their diner they each went to their rooms and turned in for the night. It was around 2:00am when Harry was having trouble sleeping.

It was a dark chamber; it was lit dimly but a fire in the fireplace. There was a snake on the rug, and Harry knew instantly that this was dream, which Voldermort would be in.

"Wormtail, where are the deatheaters, they should be here by now with Potter." Voldermort's cold voice penetrated through the silence. A shaking, weak balding man steps forward and said in a squeaky voice.

"S-some bad n-n-news m-my l-lord." wormtail said in fearful tone

" Let's hope not, wormtail, for your case." The dark lord retorted in a low dangerous growl.

" They were caught, and are now being questioned by the ministry at this moment." Wormtail answer quietly and quick as if hoping his mater wouldn't hear him, but he was wrong very wrong.

"How" he asked simply

"I don't know"

"Crucio ! !! Well you better find out soon fool or it will be your last mistake!" Voldemort said, holding the curse for about a minute.

All the while Harry had been watching this, but was now was awaking with a faint pain in his scar.



**************************************************************************** ******************** At Hogwarts that morning

The headmaster was just finish eating breakfast and was heading to his office. He was thinking if Harry was doing well with his new powers and how the search for the stone was going. Dumbledore was at the stone gargoyle by now

" Canary Creams" the old headmaster had heard of the twin's inventions and thought that opening a joke shop suit them well.

A few hours later you could find Dumbledore sitting at his desk reading an idea for the new term, with Fawkes by his side and stroking him occasionally. He was thinking of having a dueling class, now that Voldemort was back he thought that it would be useful. He was thinking of who would good to teach the dueling class when... BAM! THUMP! BAM! Three deatheaters, The headmaster amused by this a saw that one had a bruise on the side of his face, the other two just looked stunned. Then a note out of no-where was in his hand

" Dear Prof. Dumbledore,

As you have notice there are three deatheaters in your office right now, they are there are because they tried to kidnap me and take me to Voldemort, but I used wandless magic and got untied, punched one guy out and stunned the other two. And I thought it is best for you to take them to the Ministry of Magic, you could make any sort of story I bet. The search is going well and I will update you if anything new happens, Remus and Sirius say hello.

Harry "

After reading the note, the old headmaster chuckled to himself thinking how much Harry had grown-up and adjusting well to his new powers and knowledge. Now he turned to the still stunned deatheaters. After writing a quick note to Mcgonagall to tell her where he was going, Dumbledore got some floo- powder threw into the fire " The Ministery of Magic!" And was off with the deatheaters.



**************************************************************************** ******************** Two days later at Ron's house

The Weasley's and Hermione were sitting at the table about to start their day, George, Fred, Ron, Charlie, and Bill were planning on playing quidditch, while Hermione and Ginny watched and talked. They were hoping that Harry would have come by this summer; but when they received his last letter saying that he might not, it got them a bit worried. But things lighten up when 2 days ago in the Evening Prophet, it was said that 3 deatheater were caught and questioned. Fudge still didn't want to believe that Voldermort was back' even thought most of the wizarding world knew that Voldemort was actually back, some were actually getting to wonder about Fudge. Fred and Bill had gone to get the brooms and Charlie and George went to get the balls. Ginny went to help her Mrs.Weasley with a little cleaning and Percy and Mr.Weasley apparated to work, when a snowy owl came in through the open window.

"Hey look its Hedwig hopefully she had a letter from Harry" Hermione said She had decided to come here and spend part of the summer with Ron and Ginny while her parents went to Jamaica, sort of like a second honeymoon, instead of going to Bulgaria, and wrote to Krum saying they should just be friends. Hedwig landed on Ron's shoulder and stuck out her le, Ron detached the letter, and Hedwig flew off in direction to his room. Ron read the letter and his face fell a bit.

"What? What is it?" Ron handed her the letter and she also became a bit worried. "Do you think he will be all right? What could he be doing that he can't tell us right now?" Hermione questioned

(A/N- if you don't remember the letter go back and read the beginning of chapter 6)

" I don't know, he really doesn't say anything in this letter except "sorry can't come over, don't write to me, see when I can." But I wonder what is he doing?"

"Knowing Harry probably something very dangerous and deadly." Hermione said

"Don't forget you-know-who." Ron added

"Yeah you're probably right" now she was really worried seeing this Ron tried to calm her down a bit

"Don't worry Harry can take of himself and at least Padfoot and Prof. Lupin are with him."

"I hope your right Ron." Hermione said

"Hey you two, come on were about to start the game but your were one player short Ron come on." Charlie had come back in, to see what the hold was. Seeing their sad faces him wonder what was going on " What's up with you two?" He asked

"Harry's not coming this summer." Ron answered as they made their way outside.

"Oh, why, I thought Dumbledore said he could come over this summer."

"We don't why he can't come, Harry didn't say" Hermione answered this time.

"Oh, well come on, I bet you'll see him soon enough, I mean school is staring in like 3 weeks right." Charlie said in an effort to try and cheer them up.

"Yeah I guess your right." Ron said And with that they started to play quitdditch, but Ron and Hermione were thing the same thing, 3 weeks can't go by fast enough.



**************************************************************************** ******************** One week later

(A/n- it's been about 1 and 2 days if can't count)

Harry, Sirius and Remus had been in the forest for a little over a week and still they hadn't found the portal. To Harry it seemed that they were going in circles, and he found out that they actually had gone pass the same tree twice. So that where you could find them in the middle of no- where and lost, in a strange forest. The young wizard was getting very frustrated, and he sat there on the ground he notice that gray clouds were forming, he wondered if that had anything to do with his new powers and mood, when he heard a faint

"Mr. Potter"

"Yes?" He answered back, which caused Sirius and Remus to look up at Harry.

"Who are you talking to?" Questioned his godfather

"Shh.. Wait a sec."

"Heir down here to your left." The voice said again Harry looked down to his left and saw a small vivid green snake.

" Hello and how do you know me?" He questioned as the snake sort of bowed to him, which caused Harry to shake his head a bit.

" Mossst of my kind know you Heir, and I'm here to help you"

"Just call me Harry ok. How will you help me?"

"I know your looking for the ssstone and I know where the portal isss."

"Really? How do I know your not working for Voldermort and sending me into a trap?" Harry asked

"Trusssst me Heir I mean Harry, I would never do that."

"OK I trust you, but be warn if you lied you will pay." Harry said with that strange glow in hi eyes.

"Thank you Heir." The snake said as it bowed again "I won't fail you."

"Good, now what's your name anyway?" Harry asked wondering

"Jerome" The snake answerd back

"Ok, you want anything?" He offered

"No I'm heir."

"Harry just Harry please." Said the young wizard shaking his head again Then he turned back to Sirius and Remus who were stilling looking at him, they knew that Harry could talk to snaked but they never seen him do it, and they thought it was kind of freaky and wired. Harry saw the strange look in their eyes and then a silence.

Sirius broke it first

"So um, what did the snake say?" Asked his godfather Harry explained everything that the snake and him had discussed; they were surprised at first but then relived that they would finally be able to find the postal.

"You sure that we should trust him?" Remus asked

"I think so, I didn't 't get a dark vibe from the snake, oh his name by the way is Jerome." Harry replied

"Okay, well let's go to be now so that we can an early start, you know it takes about 15 minutes to wake Sirius up anyway, so best start as early as possible." Remus said with a grin looking at Sirius

"Shut up that not true." Sirius retorted

"Yes it is." Harry said also grinning at Sirius.
