"Harry, you all right there? That is one very decent thing you did. . ."

"Thanks Hagrid, these are the American transfer students."

"Ok, Harry, I will take over from here. First years, First years, over here!"

"Bye Hagrid. I have to go as I to see Dumbledore"

"See you at the feast, then!"

"Bye, Harry! See you later."

"Yeah. At the Sorting!"

Harry stepped into one of the horseless carriage. Hermione and Ron quickly followed.

"Ron, Hermione, later I will be meeting Dumbledore. I want you to be there as well. I do not want to hide any thing from you two."

The rest of the journey to Hogwarts was very quiet as Ron and Hermione tried to figure out what Harry had in store for them.

*Harry, are you going to tell them about the Order of Light?*

Harry frowned mentally, 'what do you mean by asking me whether I am going to tell them or not?'

The voice chuckled

*Okay Harry. I have to tell you about myself. I am Merlin-The Lord of Light. Our Lord had appointed me when I became the teacher of King Arthur. *

'Oh!'

*Now Harry, you have to let you have full access to powers that Order had hold. Put it simply, you will have near boundless powers. But never call for more power that you can withhold. The effect can be disastrous!*

'Ok,'

*Then you have to wait. The transaction of the key to the power will take some time. You have to be in Albus's room.*

A bump caused Harry to look up. He found that he had already reached Hogwarts. Harry, Ron and Hermione walked up the flight of stone when a large, white, water-filled balloon dropped in front of Ron.

"Damn!"

"Peeves! I'm warning you!" Harry said as he looked up into the ceiling and there was the annoying poltergeist. Cracking into a hideous laughter that rang throughout the Entrance Hall. Peeves taunted Harry as he took aim again, "Wee, Potty. What can you do to me?"

"Try me!" came the rely.

Grinning wickedly, Peeves looped the water-filled balloon full force at Harry. Sighing, Harry pulled out his wand and said, " Aqueous Repercutio!" A bright white light burst from the tip of Harry's wand and hit the balloon. What happened next surprised all those at the Entrance Hall. The water in the balloon burst through the thin rubber. While in mid-air, it twist and turn into a Great White Shark. All of them managed to see Peeves the poltergeist's shocked face before the water-shaped shark imparted straight into him, drenching him from head to toe. The Entrance Hall was suddenly filled with sounds of cheering and clapping as all had found the tables had turned against the poltergeist.

"Potter, Granger and Weasley! The Headmaster wishes to see you in his office," Professor McGonagall had just came into the Entrance hall and managed to saw Peeves, drenched, speeding out of the room cursing. 'I wonder what had happen to Peeves?' mused the transfiguration teacher.

Nodding towards their transfiguration teacher, Harry led them towards the stone gargoyle that guards the entrance to Dumbledore's room. There, the group of them found a familiar parchment placed in the mouth of the gargoyle...

"Is that the Marauder's Map?" said Ron as he saw the parchment.

"Don't know," Harry replied as he pulled out his wand. "But we can try. I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." As they watched, lines started to form, joining and criss-crossed from the tip of Harry's wand. "It is!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Ah...Harry, very useful thing that is," Dumbledore chuckled as he stepped out from behind the stone gargoyle. "I just found out how it worked. Quite rather novel idea of your father and friends."

"Thanks Albus, I believe that you know that I have been..."

"Not at here, Harry. Come in if you please."

The group followed Dumbledore into the room and up the spiral stair. Once they have enter the room, Dumbledore said, "I'm proud of you, Harry, being recruited by the Order of Light is a great honour."

"Thanks Albus. What I want now is..."

"Yes, the Lord of the Light had informed me. But looks like your friends are still keep in the dark, Harry"

"I will explain to them, later, after the ritual. Tonight at ten, agree?"

"Yes, Harry. You will be expected. Now let go to the Feast!"

The group made their way to the Grand Hall where the Sorting ceremony and the feast is held. "Oh no, we missed the Sorting," said Hermione softly.

'There seem to be a lot of Dark magic in this room.'

*There is, Harry, try using your senses to detect it.*

Harry silently looked for the source of Dark Magic.

'Strange, there are three source? Both coming from the Staff Table and one in my pocket.'

*Harry! Don't be silly! The Dark magic in your pocket contains the Death Eaters that you have captured.*

'Oh right. Then I have to check at the Staff Table.'

Opening his eyes, Harry scans the Staff table. He looks at Snape. The aura surrounding him was have an eerily black and midnight blue. Snake-like tendrils of darkness is struggling to break away from the main source of Darkness, but failed as there are too much of a pull from the main body. Then he noticed some one new, some one who looked oddly familiar, some one short and...

'Peter Pettigrew! That asshole!'

"Professor Dumbledore, who is the new Defense against the Dark Art teacher?" asked Harry, trying to restrain his anger. All the cutlery on all the house tables was literally rattling. All in the Hall looked around, trying to find the person responsible for the cause.

"Oh. That is Professor Peter Hardy."

"Professor, I think you better prepare to get some Veritaserum for questioning," said Harry in an oddly restrained voice.

"Why?"

"You'll see. Stupefy!" roared Harry. A blinding red light blasted fore from Harry's wand; no one had seen him drawing out his wand. The red light sped toward the tiny built person. He tried hasty to create a Shielding Charm, but the stunner simply cleaved through the shield. Shocked, Peter transformed into a rat and tried to run away. What happened next was beyond what everyone could comprehend, the stunner turned and followed the rat. The rat tried to evade to stunner but to in vain. The stunner hit him after five turns of direction it tried to take. The look on Harry's face was beyond what any of his best friend they had seen. There was a feeling of power that radiates from Harry. There was a dangerous gleam of light that Dumbledore found totally amazing.

"Potter! Detention for stunning a teacher!" Snape had stood up and Harry replied, "Shut up! Severus Snape!" that was a gasp as no student-I repeat- NO STUDENT had every call the Potion teacher by his full name, telling him to shut up. "I know what I am doing," the gleam in his eyes had suddenly increased in brightness. "And you do not know who you are dealing with, Professor Severus Snape." Snape suddenly found himself being pinned to the wall. "Now I have some unfinished business to settle. And if you have as much as putting a toe over the line, you better have a insurance policy for your life." Letting him go, Harry turns his attention to the fallen rat.

"Peter Pettigrew nickname Wormtail. How dare you show your rat face in Hogwarts," Harry hissed venomously. There was another gasp as most people know or believe that Pettigrew was now six feet under ground. Picking up the rat, Harry pointed his wand and said, "recenseo!" a jet of white light erupted from Harry's wand and hit the rat. It falls on the ground and then...it was like watching a speed up movie of a tree growing. When a rat had been was a fully-grown person who was badly beaten. His face was matted with dried blood, his body was battered and bruised, robes were torn.

"Albus, can I have the Veritaserum, please?"

After taking the Truth Potion from Dumbledore, Harry forced open Pettigrew's mouth and carefully placed three drop of the Veritaserum. Standing back, Harry draw out his wand and point it at Pettigrew and whispered, "Enervate."

Pettigrew was revived, his face was clearly slacked, and eyes lost and were unfocused. Harry kneed down beside him and said, "Sonorus!" pointing his wand towards both Pettigrew and himself.

"Can you hear me?" Harry asked

"Yes," came the rely "What is your full name and nickname?"

"My name is Peter Pettigrew. My nickname is Wormtail."

"Do you know who is the Secret Keeper of James and Lily Potter?"

"Yes. I am the Secret Keeper of the Potters. I had betray them to my master, the Dark Lord."

"How did you get Sirius framed?" Harry asked, trying to keep his anger within him.

"Sirius managed to track me down the next day. I managed to corner him and I shouted, 'Lily and James, Sirius! How could you?' then I blasted the street from behind my back. The blast cracked opens the road and the sewer. I transform into a rat and sped down the sewer and spend the next thirteen years as a rat."

"Now this is the most important question, how was Voldemort being resurrected?" everyone in the hall flinched but Dumbledore and Harry remain unfazed.

"I, under the order of my master, took a bone from his father's grave, flesh from me and some blood from Harry Potter. After placing all the ingredient together, he managed to return to a body of his own."

"What did he do next?"

"He summoned all his inner circle's Death Eater. They all returned. Then he duel with Harry Potter but some thing funny happened. Their wand connected and ghostly shadow of my silver arm, the boy I kill, an old muggle who lived in the Riddle's House, Bertha Jorkins, Lily Potter and James Potter emerged from my master's wand. Harry Potter later broke the connection and ran towards the boy's body, he grabbed it and summon the Portkey and return to Hogwarts"

"And why are you here?"

"My master send me here to get Harry Potter and find out more about the resistance that the fool Albus Dumbledore is going to set up to resist my master. But this useless, resistant is futile, my master will reign supreme and put all those who follow Dumbledore's banner will suffer eternal pain!" and an insane laughter came out from Peter Pettigrew which rung throughout the whole the Great Hall. When the laughter ceased after Harry had stunned him again, the Hall was rather very still as all in it was trying to absorb what Peter Pettigrew had just said.

"As you all have heard from Peter Pettigrew yourself, Voldemort has managed to return to his body. Now what we have to do is to make Cornelius Fudge, the Minster of Magic believe us," said Dumbledore as he made his way towards the staff table. Harry has always been amazed that how this aged mage can be a pillar of support at times of crisis. "Prefects are to accompany their house students back to their dormitory. Mr Potter, if you please?"

Harry made his way towards the Headmaster slowly as the students was trying to leave the Great Hall. Harry levitated the unconscious form of Peter Pettigrew as he reached the Headmaster.

"Ah...Now you can come to perform the ritual in my room. Come we must hurry."

They made their way to the Headmaster's room where the ritual will be preformed. In there, a ghostly shade of Merlin can be seen.

"Ah...Albus, Harry, it is pleasure to see you. I believe that you are here to perform the ritual of opening the Gateway of Light."

"Yes, Merlin, Lord of the Light!"

"Merlin is the Lord of the Light, Albus, he is also the one who made you a member."

"Ok, that is enough. We have to prepare for the ritual. Now show your staff, Harry, Albus."

"Ad me, baculum!" (To me, Staff!)

An orb of light appeared at the palm of Harry's hand. It quickly grows into a straight stave of wood. Embed on the top of the staff was a pure diamond. There was fiery brilliance coming from diamond. The same happen to Albus but his staff was rather wavy and instead of a diamond, it was a topaz.

"Ah...the Diamond of Power and Light. The most powerful thing that I had ever found. Within the willow wood, lies the feather of two Archangel. Most powerful staff of all those I that had ever issued to all those destined to be the downfall of the Dark Wizard. Harry, the staff is the same as the wand. Remember that it chooses the wizard, Harry."

"Now Harry, recite after me. Adaperio Wateyag lumen! Tinctum me accumulo cunctus vester arma-orum! (To open fully gateway of light. Imbue me with all your powers.)

A bright beam of light shone from with the Diamond, engulfing Harry temporary. When the light had faded, Albus found Harry's eye have change to those of a sky-blue. His hair instead of being very messy is now trimmed at the side and the front, while the back was long and tied into a ponytail. His clothes had changed into a battle robe similar to those of Merlin.

"Now, Harry, use this power wisely. Never let power corrupt you and turn you into another Dark Wizard."

"Yes, Merlin!"

"Now I have to go. Albus, you have to train him or the power may be too much for him and the castle to take. It may implode, causing great damage to it. Good-bye Harry."

"Harry you have to drop one subject so that I can train you but, it can not be Potions!" correctly interpreting his look.

At this, Harry moaned, "Never mind, I will choose Divination. I can't stand being predicted death every time I am in Professor Trelawney's lessons. If I am going to drop dead every time she said so, I will be a legend!"

"Well, you ARE a LEGEND, Harry. The-Boy-Who-Lived."

"Oh, Great."

"Now Harry, go back to your Common Room, Harry. I will deal with Wormtail."
