Harry Potter and the Quest for Survival

By: Amy

It was 3:00 in the morning and you could find Remus making breakfast and Harry trying to wake his godfather up. He had been doing this for the past 5 minutes. Needless to say Harry was getting very frustrated.

"SIRIUS WAKE UP!!" He finally got fed up took out his wand and splashed Sirius with ice cold water.

"Ahh!! What was that for?" Sirius asked while Remus and Harry laughed at him.

"You know how hard it is to wake you up, anyways look on the bright side at least you don't need to take a shower now." Remus responded while Harry nodded in agreement.

"The world could be crashing on you and you wouldn't even take notice."

"Ah lay off, I'm awake now."

"Yeah after 5 minutes of trying." After that they all sat down and had breakfast.

"So what day is it anyways?" Sirius asked

"Sept. 1"

"You sure? Then that means your going to miss your first day of school and most likely the second."

"Yeah I know that's why I wanna reach the portal today."

"Oh, good I wanna leave this forest as soon as possible."

****************************************************************

Weasley's House...

"Come on Ron time to wake up." Mrs. Weasley said waking his son up for the first day of school. After he got up and took a shower he went down stair to join everyone else up for breakfast.

"Hey Ron, Ready for school?" Hermione asked

"Hello Hermione." Ron responded groggily. He was never really a morning person. After everyone eat, they went threw what they always go threw when it's the first day of school. People keeping bumping into each other on the stairs. And Mrs. Weasley made sandwiches and yelling at everyone. Mr. Weasley was carrying trunks to the new car that they bought last month. Finally after the big chaos everyone was in the car and was driving away when of course they had to stop a go back a number of times because someone always forgot something. They made to it to King Cross with 30 minutes to spare, Fred and George went to go find Lee, Ginny went with a few of her 4th year friends, and Ron and Hermione went in search for Harry.

"Do you see him anywhere?" Hermione asked Ron after searching for 5 minutes.

"No, maybe Neville has seen him." Ron pointed him out and they went to go find out.

"Hey guys how was your summer?" The round, forgetful boy asked them as they approached him.

"Were fine Neville, but we wanted to ask you if you seen Harry anywhere?" Hermione asked him hopefully.

"Nope, I haven't seen anywhere yet, why?"

"No reason."

"Well, we better get on the train we might see him there." Some how Hermione and Ron doubted that.

****************************************************************

Back at the Forest...

They had been walking for hours, Harry was thinking of what Ron and Hermione were going to say when they see that he wasn't on the train. Right now all he wanted was to be on the Hogwarts train and sleep in a real bed.

"Harry were here." Jerome said.

Harry who was so lost in his own mind that he didn't notice that they were about to enter the clearing that Cleo had shown him. But then he was distracted by something else.

"Oh no.."

(A/n- Don't you just hate when people do that? =0) ****************************************************************

Back on the Train...

" I can't believe that he isn't on the train." Ron said. For half the trip they had been looking for Harry but no one had seen of him.

"Do you think it has something to do with that letter he wrote us awhile back?"

"Maybe, we should ask Dumbledore when we get to school." Just than they heard an unwelcome voice.

"Well well, what do we have here, Mudblood and Weasel. But wait where's Potty? Did he finally came to his senses and leave or did the Dark Lord get him?" Malfoy said in his usual drawl, with his two friends behind him as always.

"Shut-up!" Ron said while Hermione was holding on to his robes.

"I'd watch that mouth of your Weasley it might get you into to trouble one of these days." Malfoy said with a sneer. And left just as Hermione lost her hold on Ron.

"Aug! That jerk. I'm really not going to take any carp from him this year!" Ron was furious and if looks could kill.

"Ron just don't do anything stupid, I hate him too. But don't let him get to you."

"Yeah yeah, come the train stopping." And with that they both got out and waited with the mob of people in the corridor. The train finally stopped and the usual shoving and pushing went on to get on the small, dark platform. They heard the well-known accent of Hagrid.

"Firs' years! Fris' years over here! All right there you two?"

"Hi Hagrid." They said simultaneously, and then they were pushed to get into the carriages, and were later joined by Ginny and Neville.

"You guys didn't find Harry?" Neville said as the carriage started to move.

"No, did you?"

"No, I wonder where he could be? Did he tell you anything his letters that he would be late for school?" Neville replied a bit apprehensively.

" He said he had something to do but that he would tells us when he saw us at school." Answered Hermione.

"Oh." Was all Neville said as they landed, they got out and went into the Great Hall, with a small hope that Harry would be there. But it was squash instantly when they reached Gryffindor table and didn't see him anywhere. Hermione looked up the High table and saw some teachers missing. Snape was there with usual cruel face on, Hagrid was still with the First years, McGonagall was at the entrance hall waiting for them. And Dumbledore was sitting in the middle as always, but there was something on his mind, and the twinkle in his eyes weren't as bright as they usually were. Hermione would have pointed this out to Ron but McGonagall had just come in with First years.

****************************************************************

Back at the Forest.

"Oh no..." Harry said as he touched his scar that was burning very badly.

"What is it Harry?" Sirius who had noticed the flash of pain on his godsons face. But before he could answer another voice spoke one that none of them wanted to hear. Ever.

"Harry I know your here so why don't you come out and greet me!" Voldemort said. The three of them stepped into the clearing and saw that Voldemort and about 15 deatheaters were in the middle.

Voldemort's lipless mouth was smiling Harry, while he just glared at him.

"So nice of you to join us. Now we could make this easy, you could just go and get the stone for me and we could rule together and be the most powerful wizards to ever rule. Or I could kill you and your worthless friends right now."

"When are you going to get it in to your head Tom I will never ever join you. And you can't kill me, because then you'll never get the stone. So that was a pretty empty threat." Harry was so dangerously cold and hateful that it made Sirius and Remus stare at him.

"Don't you dare call me that Potter."

"You're right I should respect my elders I should be calling you Mr. Riddle. So okay Mr. Riddle how about you go away and leave me alone." The-boy-who-lived said with a small grin on his face. By this time Voldemort was infuriated.

"You will respect me CRUCIO!" Voldemort yell at Harry. He dodged the curse and got his own wand out. "Get them!! Kill the other two but leave the boy for me!"

But Sirius, Remus and Harry were ready for them and started to yell hexes and spells that they knew. Most of the deatheaters yelled the unforgivables but they were blocked by shields except Avada Kedavra, which they just jumped out of the way. Voldemort just watched.

"Serpensortia!" Harry yelled and a huge green snake came out of his wand.

He remembered the spell from second year. "Go and bite those men in black robes over there." He pointed to 2 deatheaters that were trying to sneak up on Sirius.

Just then Voldemort started to make his way to him. He stopped a few feet away from him. They didn't notice that all the deatheaters were stunned and tied up by this time.

"Well we can't duel with our wands, so I brought something else." Voldemort took out a sword from his cloak. "But I notice you don't have one."

As soon as these words left his mouth a sword appeared at Harry's hand, the only thing the dark lord could do was stare. Harry was just as stun but relief, he didn't know how it happen, he was thinking of a sword and this came. He looked at the sword and recognized it. It was Gryffindor's sword. He didn't have time to reflect about how he got the sword because Voldemort had started to strike at him.

The only thing that worried Harry was that he had never in his life had a swordfight, the only time he actually fought with a sword was in his 2nd year. But amazingly he found that he knew what to do. While Voldemort kept striking, Harry kept dodging. Then Harry saw his chance and cut off the Dark Lords sword hand, while Voldemort was nursing his wound Harry picked up his sword and threw it to a very stun Sirius, after that he turned back to Voldemort and put the sword up to his neck.

"Surprised? You didn't except that did you." Harry said in an icy tone of voice. Voldemort just slimed at Harry and then...

"Expelliarmus!" And Harry was blasted off his feet, and Voldemort disappeared in a flash of light. Sirius and Remus ran over to see if Harry was okay. By the time they reached him his was already standing.

"Well at least his gone." Was the only thing he could think to say when they reached him.

"Are you okay? How did you do that?" Sirius asked him with a half curious half worried tone.

"I'm fine, but to be perfectly honest I have no idea how I did that, it just came very naturally to me." The three of them made their way over to the deatheaters and one of them caught Harry's eye.

"Sirius look who we have here!" And he was pointing to none other than Wormtail. "Looks like you're a free man now." Harry said to his godfather beaming at him. Sirius was shocked. Remus was looking much like Harry, very happy.

"If he wakes up and turns into a rat, be ready and have a jar with a unbreakable charm on it ready for him." Harry instructed, just then they felt something weird happening, when they turned around there was a huge black hole. Harry knew what he had to do. He looked at Sirius and Remus, and hugged them.

"Thank you for everything."

"Please come back Harry, okay." His godfather said to him

"I'll try. Bye." And he stepped threw the portal.

Harry felt like he was falling, he didn't know how long it lasted it could have been a few minutes or and hour. But when he finally landed he saw that he was in...
