Chapter 8: The Pawns Come Together
POV = Harry Potter
Last week I rescued the Dursleys form the muggle world and took O.W.L.'s and had career advice with McGonnagall. When I had the career advice she kept telling me how hard it was to become an auror and also that next year they're starting an auror college and expect only like 20 kids and know three-quarters of them will fail. But that didn't stop me especially when I heard Cho was planning to go to the auror college with Cedric Diggory when she's out.
The O.W.L.'s were not hard at all...well the practical wasn't hard at least. I daresay half of my history of magic and transfiguration O.W.L. written test was left blank. But besides that Griselda Marchbanks told me I did perfectly fine or she's that kind of person that always tells you it's okay, you're going to be successful...you know a grandma deal.
Another thing that happened Monday was the sorting of the new students. As I remember correctly Aunt Petunia and Cousin Dudley were sorted into Slytherin since they both befriended Pansy Parkinson and Draco Malfoy. It did seem kind of odd for Draco and Pansy to befriend muggles borns but the only excuse they'd give is "The Parents have their reasons." Also Kaman Krum was sorted into Slytherin AND Ravenclaw (because he has a huge crush on Cho Chang). Benjamin Krum was then sorted into Gryffindor befriending Neville and Abby Clearwater was sorted into Hufflepuff.
All for the next month until the middle of June, Order members patrolled the halls of Hogwarts secretly looking for something. No one could figure out what but Ginny told us that it was the light from Trelawney's third prediction, which she found out by Lavender and Parvati.
Then suddenly I was feasting fine in the Great Hall when I was transported back to the graveyard. As I stared around I saw Penelope, Cameron, Charlotte, Remus, Sirius, James, Lily, Ginny and Abby.
"Welcome to my domain," a cold high voice greeted form the shadows. "Oooooh...Malfoy deceived me. Mr. Malfoy was only to bring the ones who he thought of as the light. Oh well there must sacrifices."
Just then death eaters emerged from the shadows and shot spell at everyone except Abby, Ginny, Penelope, and me. Everyone else was thrown back against gravestones as death eaters were having fun stunning and reviving them over and over again.
"Let them go you idiot!" Abby shouted shaking with fear as Voldemort's long white fingers ran down her cheek.
"Brave… brave little girl. Too bad my sources tell me the brave are the first to die."
Voldemort made a move for his wand but the four of us had our wands pointing straight at his heart. Voldemort did not seem threatened at all but merely laughed in our faces.
"What may I ask is so funny?" Penelope asked holding her wand out tight protecting her little sister.
"You don't even know how to work the light do you?" Voldemort laughed cruelly. "You surely remember me drinking unicorn blood four years ago." His eyes widened at Ginny. "Ah Miss Weasley. Very easy to manipulate. I remember you quite well except it was this fool who used your power against your best friend."
None of us knew what he meant. I used Godric Gryffindor's sword to defeat the basilisk and Tom Riddle, not using Ginny. Ginny was unconscious how could I use Ginny's power if she wasn't even awake? I think he drank way too much unicorn blood.
"You must surely know I can't be killed with a simple killing curse. I can only be killed by the so called weapon formally known as the light."
Abby lowered her wand and dropped to the ground shaking with fear. The rest of us stood around her trying to revive her until Penelope did a little wand flick as she was back up on her feet. The only problem was Abby didn't know a whole bunch of spells so what use could she be?
"Avada Kedavra!" The four of us shouted at once at Voldemort's heart.
A large black smoke cloud appeared where Voldemort stood. As it cleared so did the death eaters and the others got up protecting their kids from what may be lurking from inside the black cloud. The smoke cleared away as a young 18-year-old Tom Marvolo Riddle stood there. Yet no one seemed relieved to see a child there but stood rather confused.
"That killing curse killed Lord Voldemort," Tom said. "It killed the last part of Slytherin allowing Gryffindor to claim victory from the Gryffindor-Slytherin war. This is how I was before Albania. Unfortunately Lord Voldemort is no more."
The kids seemed to be fairly relieved but the adults tightened up except for Lily who spoke kindly to Tom.
"Come here and we'll go see Dumbledore."
As one Lily and tom left the graveyard departing to Dumbledore's office. Then one by one each family took a port key returning to Hogwarts. The Slytherin-Gryffindor War is no more...Trelawney is a fraud.
A/N: Just a little part in the series. This is not the best one… I personally like when they're in seventh year and freshmen in college! Those are more packed with better stuff. The next one is called Harry Potter and the Louisiana Academy of Magic.
