Life
Harry Potter dreamed.
************************************************************************
Harry stood a while at the river's side. He would certainly be seen if he went back into Hogwarts, so he had to find somewhere else to stay. He worried he wouldn't be able to warn anyone of the imposter though. He was staring out at the surface of the lake, thinking, when he saw something headed his way underwater, creating a wake. Backing up a bit, he stared at it as it came nearer. Then, without warning, the lake's surface exploded upward.
"Hello," said an aquatic voice, as Harry fell back. He looked up and saw a ghostly visage of a woman dressed in a long cloak. She had slightly turquoise skin and as the water she came from she was transparent.
"Hi," said Harry after a while of trying to decide who or what she was.
"I am the spirit of this Lake," she said as if reading his mind, "I have seen your trial with the one forged from shadow, and your friend made of light. I would like it if I could help, and give you a place to stay. A place to hide from evil, and plan it's undoing. For I like the tranquility of Hogwarts, a tranquility that darkness disrupts."
"Umm, Okay, that would be nice," said Harry.
"Then follow me," she turned around and a path was visible. There was an ice bridge forming and a huge patch of fog at its end. Harry stepped onto the ice and began his venture into the fog, and from there to a hideout.
************************************************************************
That night Harry crept into the castle. He was waiting at the entrance to the common room when it opened and out came the false Harry. Harry quickly ducked behind one of the statues nearby. He watched as Anthony walked up to the demon. They said a few words before walking away from the common room. Harry waited a few minuets then got up to follow them. But then he heard a voice behind him.
"Harry, if your going, I think Anthony should at least go with you," said Hermione.
"Yeah, I was just going to get him," said Harry.
"No, I'll come with you instead," she offered, or more like stated.
As they walked down the halls of the school Harry tried to tell Hermione about the demon. But every time he was interrupted by them having to hide from someone or something. Finally they heard some commotion up ahead, and heard footsteps rushing toward them.
"Run!" Hermione whispered harshly, cutting off Harry again. They both ran the opposite direction, trying any path that would lead them away from the footsteps. They eventually came to an old locked door, which Hermione had unlocked before Harry could blink, and they closed it behind them.
"That was close," Hermione whispered after a while. When Harry didn't reply she looked over at him and saw that he was looking at something behind them. She turned quickly and they both looked at the sleeping giant three headed dog for a while. "What is that under its paw?" Hermione inquired suddenly.
"I don't know, but I think we should go," said Harry. She nodded, and they opened the door. It got halfway open then started creaking. Harry and Hermione glanced back as they ran out and saw the dog awaken. They quickly closed the door as the dog started barking. Then they quietly made their way back to the common room.
"Well that was interesting, but now it's time to sleep," said Hermione then quickly made for the girl's dorms. Harry then grasped the pendant around his neck and teleported back to his hideout.
************************************************************************
Hermione woke up the next day feeling very ill. She was soon moved to the hospital wing, but even Madam Pomfrey couldn't find the source of the sickness. Later, around noon, a cloaked figure walked into the wing. He walked over to Hermione's bed, followed by a cloaked woman.
"He did this then, didn't he," concluded the cloaked male.
"Yes, he will have to be destroyed soon," said the cloaked female. She then slipped her small, delicate hand out and placed it on Hermione's chest. Her hand glowed a bit, then it died back down and she tucked it in her robes. "She'll recover by the time he is defeated."
"If Harry is strong enough to defeat him," added the male. Then they both flashed a brilliant white before disappearing.
************************************************************************
Revenge, how ironic that his name was his duty, for now he was acting as his name implied. He made his way down to the Great Hall looking as Harry Potter. He sat down and to his delight the female friend of Harry was still sick, still suffering and dying. 'Soon Harry would be forced to confront me' thought the demon. That is, if he cares about the girl. If not, he would be forced to infect the school with the virus. He had infected Harry as well but when he looked into his book of the dead, Harry's name hadn't been there. This had him frustrated at first; Harry had found a way to cure an illness that most angels couldn't cure. Of course that meant that he would get the pleasure of tearing Harry apart again. So he waited.
************************************************************************
Harry sat in his personnel giant bubble at the bottom of the lake looking out at the fish. He had received news that Hermione had contracted the same virus that had nearing kill him. Peace had came and told him this; she also wasn't able to help Hermione either. Harry had given up some of his own power to Peace to help Hermione though. She should be recovering all ready. And that is what he had be working on, distance healing.
It required a lot more energy, but it was worth it. Harry had been healing fish that swam near his bubble when he suddenly became angry at the whole situation and when he looked out at the fish he saw a couple had died and were floating upward. He looked at another fish, focused all his anger on it, and to his surprise it was ripped apart. It looked as if invisible claws had stuck it from all sides. This had scared all the other fish away, but Harry didn't care, he had other things to think about now. He started planning the demon's time of death.
************************************************************************
The demon, Ron, Tracy, and Anthony were walking along the river outside. Ron, Anthony, and Tracy were talking about Hermione, while the demon was wondering when Harry would make his appearance. He had sensed a new hostility directed at him, and concluded that it must be Harry. He was still thinking when he heard something that made him growl inwardly, Hermione was recovering. His Harry visage smiled of course.
"Yeah, she was actually awake for a few minuets this morning," said Tracy.
Revenge was too much of a demon to take this insult to his power. Awake this morning? She should be dead today. He was alone with these kids right now, and could kill them easily, so he decided to. They were still in deep conversation when the noticed a shadow hanging over them. Anthony immediately dropped into a fighting stance while Tracy and Ron back off.
"Well I guess your volunteering to die first then," said the demon. Ron visibly quaked at hearing the demon's terror inducing voice. Anthony pointed his arm toward the window of his dorm room and the sword he had made in the fire dimension flew out and into his hand. The demon only grinned, then opened his mouth to let out a pillar of flame toward Anthony. Anthony held up his sword and watched as the blade absorbed the flames. The demon stopped, "special weapon you got there, I'll keep it as a souvenir." Suddenly all three of them were imprisoned in a fire cage not unlike those the elemental had used on them. The demon started to chuckle but he then was lifted off the ground and slammed back down.
"Stop laughing you fool!" shouted Anthony; "I'll beat you from in here if I have to." The demon wasn't going to take this; he had a rock the size of a baseball slam into the back of Anthony's head and knocked him out.
"I am no fool," the demon spat angrily.
"Then you must have terrible luck," said a voice from behind him. The Demon turned around but saw nothing. "You seem blind also, I'm over here." The voice was to the left of him now but when he looked there was nothing. "To bad you lose," said the voice. The demon looked straight ahead just in time to see a stream of negative energy surge into him from the hands of none other than Harry Potter. Anthony woke up just in time to add his own power into the blast. When the powerful surge was over, the demon was lying on the ground with slashes all over his body and most of his vital organs showing threw his chest. All four of them stared at the demon.
"Is it dead, that quick?" asked Ron.
"No!" came the booming voice of the demon as he got up. His breathing lungs were visible as well as his beating heart. Blood flowed from the many wounds but seemed not to affect the demon. It took a step toward them then quickly grabbed Anthony in one hand and Harry in the other while they were surprised. It was choking them when Rob grabbed up Anthony's sword and, while the demon wasn't looking, stabbed him in the back. Then the demon dropped Harry and Anthony, and turn to face Ron, who dropped the sword in terror. However, a white beam hit the demon in the chest before it could do anything to Ron.
A blue bracelet appeared on his left arm, turning it to ice. A red one on his right arm lighting it on fire. A green one on his left ankle, making that leg immovable. A grey one on his right ankle, turning that leg to stone. Then a white vest formed on his upper body and absorbed all his power. Hermione walked around the demon to join the others, holding the amulet.
"Well I wonder what happens now?" asked Anthony. Then they saw two robed figures approaching them.
"We will take him, but we cannot destroy him until all the people in the world let go of the need for revenge," said the robed man.
"He feeds on that need," said the robed woman, "we can, however, imprison him."
"So, what do we do now?" asked Hermione.
"You no longer need the gifts our angelic friend has given you," said the male, and he extended his hand. Harry, Hermione, and Anthony all felt a sense of loss when the power left their bodies.
"Do not look so sad," said the robed woman, "some of the power permanently imbedded itself in your souls." Then they took the demon and disappeared in a flash, literally.
"We still have some power?" asked Anthony. He tried to pick up his sword with his mind and failed, "what power?"
"Well, with enough concentration, I can still read minds," said Hermione. "It seems that I can no longer project psychic messages though, since none of you heard anything."
Harry saw he wounds visibly healing. "I think I can only heal myself now," said Harry disappointedly. Anthony so found out that he could levitate himself.
"Well, I may not be able to lift things psychically any more, but I can fly!" and he started flying in circles above them before landing back on the ground with a thud.
"Looks like you need to work on that landing," said Tracy, lightly laughing.
"What do I do with this though?" asked Hermione, holding out the amulet.
"I don't know," said Harry. As they all looked at the amulet in curiosity, it sprang to life. The amulet started to glow, and soon eight different balls of light came out of it. The balls of light were of all different colors. They settled in a circle around the stunned group of young wizards and witches. The balls of light then started to take form. Soon eight different creatures stood around them. There was a large salamander with a line of fire running down its back, an undine, and a gnome that looked to be made of stone, and a sylph who's eyes and mouth were only visible. There was also a dryad, a shade, and a fairy with a crescent moon shape on its forehead, and finally a sprite with a white aura around it.
"Holy Merlin," breathed Ron, gawking at the gnome, "that's the biggest gnome I've ever seen!"
"Thank you for freeing us from the demon," said the undine, which reminded Harry of the spirit in the lake.
"Yes, and if you ever need our help just use the amulet to summon us," said the gnome before fading into nothing. The rest of the creatures followed suit.
"I don't think I'll ever want help from a gnome," said Ron.
"That was not a normal gnome Ron," said Hermione.
"I know," said Ron, "It was huge!"
"Ron!" Hermione yelled to get his attention. Then she said, "It was a guardian."
"A what?" asked Anthony.
"A guardian," said Hermione, "they all were guardians. They look after and protect the magic of the element they are tied closest to."
"Oh," said Ron, "I still don't like the gnome."
"I give up!" said Hermione and stated walking toward the castle. Harry looked at the amulet as she walked away and saw it now had eight stones on it. This was going to be interesting, very interesting. Soon they all followed Hermione. Harry stayed back to thank the spirit of the lake before heading in himself.
