Life
Harry woke the next morning to find his dearest missing from his side. He pulled himself out of bed and sleepily stumbled to the kitchen. Inside he found his wife eating some cereal.
"Morning" he mumbled as he poured himself a bowl. She looked at him and smiled, quite amused.
"Oh Harry, this is your day to sleep in," she said chuckling, "Morning though."
"Sleep in? Since when did the great and powerful Potter sleep in?" he asked jokingly.
"Since you married me," She answered with a grin.
He turned slightly pink, "Well, it's your fault then, I'm in no way responsible for my sleeping habits." She forced her face into a scowl. "I know what you're going to say," he said taking a bite of his breakfast, "but it will not have the desired effect unless I'm completely awake."
At that she immediately started laughing. "You always talk nonsense when your tired, go back to bed."
"I don't." He started, but then saw that look in her eyes. "Oh, is today special." then he remembered as she was truly scowling. "Happy Anniversary," he said meekly as she glared at him. He quickly started running for his room, with Hermione close behind.
"Harry! You forgot!" she yelled.
"No! I remembered!" he yelled back, locking the door, and looking around.
"I bet you don't even have a present for me!" she yelled, but her voice show a more hurt, than angry emotion.
He in fact did have a present for her. Since he had become her friend all those years ago, he had always bought her a present for any occasion six months a head of time. "When in all the years you have known me have I forgotten to get you a gift for any occasion?" he asked.
"Umm." she started to think.
He opened the door and placed a gift in her arms, "Never" he whispered and kissed her. Later that afternoon, laying at his wife's side he again thought back to his first year at Hogwarts.
**********************************************************************
Harry woke up the next day, happy for the fact that there were no classes today. He slipped out of the room not waking anyone up, since it was 4:30 am, and down to the common room. Here he found none other than Hermione reading.
"You always wake up before me," He complained, "except on Saturdays, what is so special about today?"
She looked up at him; "I found this really cool book on telepathy."
"Any chance of you wanting to go somewhere instead of reading?" inquired Harry.
"Not until 6:00," she said and went back to reading.
"Well, ok then," He said as he started for the door.
"Harry!" Hermione said sharply, "you'll get in trouble if you go out this early."
"Why would he get into trouble," said Fred walking toward Harry and putting one arm around him, and grinning like mad.
"Yeah, he'll be with us," said George imitating his twin but standing on the opposite side of Harry.
"Oh no," said Hermione, "Harry, your not really going with them are you?"
"Well, umm, you see." started Harry.
"Harry! Are you nuts!" she almost shouted, "who knows what kind of trouble you could get into!"
"Awa, look, she's afraid Harry will get into trouble," said Fred, "Shh, you'll wake everyone up."
"Don't worry," said George, "we'll bring your boyfriend back in one piece." Before she could comment they had disappeared out the doorway. She started at the empty space they once inhabited five seconds ago. She was going to have to punish them for this, time to think up a new prank.
************************************************************************
Harry, Fred, and George quietly made their way toward Snape's room for some ingredients. They were looking forward to making a potion that would allow them to see through walls. On their way Fred pulled out a piece of parchment and said something quietly. Harry watched as an entire map of Hogwarts appeared. George looked at Harry, "Interesting, no?" He said.
"Yeah, where did you get it?" Harry asked.
"Well, if your worthy, we'll tell you when we feel it is your time to be given the secrets of Hogwarts." Said George in a wise-and-all-knowing tone, while Fred led them through some secret passages. Soon they were starring at Snape's ingredient cabinet.
"Ha, all right let us get down to business," said George. They stated taking a little bit of everything, since they couldn't remember what exactly they needed.
"All right, that should be all." Said Fred just as they heard the door start to creek open. They all dashed to the secret opening, just as Snape entered the room. He managed to hear a bit of scuffling and then said in a commanding voice, "Who ever is in here will pay dearly if I find them." He immediately began to look around. Fred mouthed 'get ready to run' then threw a dung bomb up into the air. As they hurried back along the secret passages back to the common room they could heard Snape's infuriated yells.
They entered the common room at 5:00 laughing but soon stopped as a strange liquid poured over their bodies. Hermione was now laughing at three figures covered in chocolate syrup and marshmallows. Fred and George were stunned and stood there baffled but Harry was all ready thinking. Hermione started to make her way to the girl's dormitory, when Harry ran at, and tackled her to the floor. By the time she was able to fight free of him they were equally covered.
They both smiled knowing they had both got each other. Fred and George were slightly amused at their behavior but the smiles were confusing. "So, what's with the happy expressions here? We are all covered in sticky chocolate and you two don't seem in the least a bit uncomfortable."
"Oh stop complaining," Hermione said taking out her wand and making the chocolate disappear. Harry went and sat down on the couch and gazed at the fire, eating marshmallows and thinking. Fred and George took their 'new' possessions and headed back up to their room. Hermione took the book she was reading, and almost finished with, and sat down next to Harry to read.
As Harry was staring at the fire he noticed it was moving in an unnatural manner. Before he knew it, it had taken the shape of a dragon's head. The head's jaw slowly opened up. Harry started to get a little nervous, and sensing this Hermione looked up at the fire. Her gasp made Harry even more nervous, she knew almost everything about this place and she hadn't heard of this before. Before either of them could react, a ton of flames shot out of the dragon's mouth. When the light died down, Ron was left starring at the place both his friends had been a second ago.
************************************************************************
Anthony was walking down the hall on Saturday afternoon having quite a nice discussion with a girl he had just met, when Ron ran around the corner ahead of Anthony. He looked quite distressed, so Anthony told the girl he would meet her later, and walked up to Ron.
"How are yo." Anthony tried to say.
"They're gone!" yell Ron, "Iwalkeddownthestairsandflameshotoutofthefireplaceandtheydisappeared."
"Calm down," Anthony said patting Ron on the back, "Now what happened?"
"I was walking down the stairs and some flames shot out of the fire place and Harry and Hermione disappeared," said Ron.
"Show me," and Anthony followed Ron back to the common room.
Anthony looked at the fire. "Looks a little weird, eh?"
"Hmm, I guess," said Ron. This time the head formed quickly and swallowed Anthony. Ron screamed and jumped behind the couch. When he looked over the couch the fire was normal again.
***********************************************************************
Harry opened his eyes to see he was lying on a slab of black stone. There was a cage around him made out of flame. He noticed Hermione in a similar cage and Anthony to in another cage. Hermione hadn't woken up yet but Anthony all ready had several burns on his hands.
"Oh, good afternoon Harry, welcome to hell," he said in a sarcastic voice.
"Yeah, it is quite warm here," Harry said stupidly. Anthony rolled his eyes. Just then Hermione woke up and was in shock at what she saw.
"Where are we?" she asked.
"Hell," answered Anthony.
"Stop being such a pessimist," said Harry, "I'm sure this isn't hell."
'Oh, but it is the next worse place,' said a voice, 'this is the realm of fire.' Then a ball of flame with two eyes appeared. "Welcome, I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay."
"Wow this one is smart, it decided to attack us in a place where it has the advantage," said Anthony. "Hey, you, the dumb ball of flame," the spirit looked at him. "Yeah, I'm taking to you," said Anthony, "Why don't you and me have ourselves a little one-on-one, what do you say?"
"So eager to die are we?" said the elemental, "if you manage to find your way out of there I would love to be honored with killing you." then the spirit left.
"Chicken!" yelled Anthony, grabbing the flame bars and letting his hands sizzle for a few seconds before letting go. He angrily stomped around his cage. The flame bars were starting to bend outward from the psychic energy radiating off him. Soon the bars were bent so wide Anthony walked right out of them without realizing it.
"Anthony! Your free!" said a very happy Hermione. He looked around, seeing himself outside his cage, and grinned. He freed Hermione and Harry, and Harry healed his hands. Then yelled out into the flaming abyss, "Hey, look at us, we're free!"
The elemental appeared about five feet in front of Anthony. It started changing until it resembled a human shape. Then its hands transformed into long flaming blades.
"Oh, that's fair" Anthony said sarcastically. Then it charged him, with its two blades pointing forward. He dodged out of the way, jumping onto another slab of floating rock, and tired to psychically grip the elemental but since its body was made of fire, it could not be held by Anthony's inexperienced mind. So instead he sent a mental shockwave at it which caused it to break apart. When it reformed its hatred radiated off it in as an intense heat wave. This is was he wanted, it was now totally focused on him. It took no notice of Harry nodding to Hermione. Neither did it notice when Hermione lifted the necklace and pointed the pendant at it.
Anthony now had formed his own sword, with his telekinetic power, from one of the floating rocks nearby. The elemental was beating him back when the ray of pure light hit it. It was instantly transformed into a little glittering ruby and placed in the last socket on the pendant.
"Wow," said Harry. Then, with a blinding flash, they found themselves sitting on the couch facing a very surprised Ron.
************************************************************************
"Umm." Ron said after hearing their latest encounter. "So you were sword fighting the, the thing?"
"Yep," said Anthony, holding the stone sword vertically, "I was doing very well I think."
"For a beginner," mumbled Hermione.
"Hey." started Anthony.
"So then Hermione trapped the elemental in that ruby you see on her necklace," said Harry, cutting off Anthony.
"Wow," Ron said then looked at his watch; "it's just about breakfast time, you guys coming?"
"You go ahead we'll catch up," said Hermione, holding a hungry Harry and a starving Anthony back.
"Okay, see ya in a bit," then he left.
"Why did you do that I'm starving!" they both practically yelled.
"We need to talk to Peace," said Hermione.
"Can't that wait?" asked Harry, knowing Hermione would say no.
"You know the answer to that," she said. So they sat in a circle and started meditating. Soon they found themselves floating on a cloud.
*******************************************************************
'My children, you have news' said the angel in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Yes, we have, um, passed the four challenges," said Anthony.
'Wonderful, now you can trap the demon.'
"Trap him? How?" Asked Hermione.
'The four spirits you collected can be used against their summoner. Each stone has enough power to trap the demon long enough if they are used with the white core stone.'
"Long enough for what?" Hermione asked.
'For help to arrive" answered the angle.
"Where is the demon now, exactly," asked Anthony.
'He is near, he should shown himself soon. Now go and enjoy the rest of your day.' Before they could reject they found themselves back in the real world.
*********************************************************************
After breakfast Anthony split off to meet with his new friend who happened to be a girl. Harry, Hermione, and Ron took to looking about the castle. They or rather, Hermione was admiring the paintings on the wall while Harry and Ron had a discussion about Qudditch. Soon the one person Harry couldn't stand showed up.
"So, Potter, are you and your," said Draco in his malicious tone, "umm, 'friends', enjoying your little walk?" his two 'bodyguards' started laughing.
"It would be much appreciated if you twerps would move out of our way," said an unfamiliar female voice from behind Draco. He and his friends turned to see who it was. Ron recognized her as the girl who Anthony had been hanging out with lately, and told Harry and Hermione about her. Anthony stepped out from behind a corner.
"Tracy, there you are," he said.
"These low-lives were being inconsiderate to you friends," she said.
"And who do you think you ar." said Malfoy, but he didn't finish. She had struck him square in the face with her fist and he hit the ground, out- cold. His two goons picked him up and left looking a little surprised.
"I have always wanted to do that," said Ron in admiration.
"Well if you learn how to." Anthony tried to say.
"No," said Hermione, "You taught Harry, and, umm, Tracy, and even a little rubbed off on me. You will not, and I repeat, will not corrupt Ron."
"Who made you boss," asked Anthony and Ron angrily. Not one second later they both had fallen to the ground clutching their heads in pain. They got up a minute later glaring at Hermione, still holding their heads.
"Is that what you were reading about?" asked Harry.
"Yep," smiled Hermione, then they all headed to lunch.
************************************************************************
Latter, at lunch Harry received a letter. He wouldn't let anyone see it until he showed Anthony. After Anthony had read it they gave the note to Hermione and left quickly. Hermione threw the note down not five seconds after she received it and ran out after Harry and Anthony with a very angry look on her face. When Ron had read it, he just sat there smiling and laughing a little in between bites of chicken.
************************************************************************ Harry drifted off to sleep in thought about what the note had said. His wife stirred a bit at his side but did not wake up. They dozed the rest of the afternoon conformably in each other's arms.
************************************************************************

Julie Jewelrannah, I think my characters reflect my in little ways like that ^__^, but if you think that I need to fix that then I will work on it. Well it's getting late so 'til next chapter,
