Harry Potter and the Elements of Life
By: Krystal Lily Potter
Chapter 18: Against the Rules
Rated: PG
Summary: When Harry's fourth year ended he was sent to go find two girls with raven black hair and emerald green eyes: Jasmine and Gemma Potter, his two sisters. As the year went on Harry got extraordinary powers. Sirius was freed and it also turned out Lily was alive. But then something started killing Gryffindors. Now history's repeating its self, The Keeper of Hufflepuff (Gemma) was hung by the Keeper of Slytherin (Voldemort). The Aurors are falling and the teachers must fight, leaving the students alone. Harry and Jasmine are in a race against time to find the last four Elements of Life before Voldemort reaches the school...and before they reach their 'dead zone'.
Note: Since so many people bugged me about it I will finish this story ok? BUT here's the thing, I can't remember where I left off or what my original ideas were going to be...after I couldn't find the disk I just gave up on this one but since I can't really remember much please be nice with this...I'm actually reading through the story myself to see how I left off...although I do remember how I was going to end it...
ANYWAYS the elements Harry and Jasmine found so far are: Knowledge, Ambition, Friendship, Hope, Love, Faith, Truth, Family and Courage!
And the ones left are: Light, Darkness, Death and Life...
Oh and there's an important note at the bottom...I just don't want to take up anymore space up here...
ON WITH THE FIC!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry paced back and forth in the Gryffindor common room, waiting for the rest of his classmates to return from their last class of the day, which, for different people, ranged from Potions, to Transfiguration, or Divination, or possibly Muggle Studies.
Suddenly the portrait opened and Jasmine walked in. She ignored him and walked up the steps to her dorm, threw her books on the bed then walked back down the stairs and said, "Well?"
"Well what?" Harry replied.
"Why'd you leave?" She asked him.
"I guess I was a bit mad at Lupin for saying people believe I'm gonna be evil.
"Don't let it get to Harry...I know its not true, so does Hermione, Ron, Lavender, Neville, Dean, Parvati, Seamus...we're all with ya Hare," She said to him.
"You're right Jaz," Harry said to her then looked at his watch and said with a surprised voice, "You ran out of class a half an hour early?"
"Yeah, I figured if its possibly almost the end, why hold back," She said and cracked a smile that he had only seen Gemma wear before.
"Would all students please return to their common rooms at once," Professor Dumbledore's voice rang magically through the halls.
Jasmine's sapphire eyes widened and she turned to her brother and said, "What's
happening?"
"How would I know?" He asked her as the portrait opened again and Gryffindors started coming in.
"Harry," Hermione said and ran over to him with a fearful look.
"What's wrong Mione, what happened?" He asked her as he hugged her.
"The Dark Mark was floating in the air not very far from the castle, the Aurors had to fall back, they were being beat to bad, they're all here now, waiting to go back out with the teachers," Hermione said, her voice full of panic.
"Then if they all get kicked out then we're goners," Ron added as he sat down by them.
Every Gryffindor fell silent as Professor McGonagall walked into the common room and said, "As most of you know all teachers are leaving to tackle this problem. If something should happen and you see the army of Death Eaters coming any closer to the castle, get everyone out! There's a secret emergency passage out the back. It'll take you through a large dome tube in the lake where you'll never be detected and you'll come out in a place no one will ever find you, understand?"
Most people murmured yes, but Harry and Jasmine stayed straight faced.
"Good, and-and if I never see any of you again it has been a privilege to be your head of house, your deputy headmistress and your teacher. Good luck to all of you in the future," McGonagall finished and walked out the portrait hole.
Everyone began talking at once, almost everyone had a look of panic, no one knew what was going to happen to their favorite teachers or what was going to happen to them.
"Screw this," Harry said suddenly.
"Screw what?" Jasmine asked him.
"I don't care what they said, I'm not hiding anymore!" He said to his sister in a quieted voice.
"Harry..." She started but didn't finish. She stared at the floor for a moment then looked up again with determination written clearly across her face and said, "I'm with you, right to the dead of it all!"
Harry nodded to her and both stood up and started making their way across the room to the portrait hole.
"Where are you guys going?" Lee Jordan's voice called
out to them, making everyone turn and face them.
Harry sighed and muttered, "Time to start organizing plan B sis."
She nodded then said, "Go to the other houses...I'll lead them to the Great Hall."
"Right," He said and left.
"OK you guys, we know right for a fact that the teachers and Aurors might as well be dead right now, the Death Eaters outnumber them that greatly," Jasmine said.
"What?" was the word she heard flying around the room mostly, but she also heard a few more...colorful words.
"But Harry and I have a plan to counteract this, but we need to go to the Great Hall to explain it to all the houses," Jasmine explained and opened the portrait and said, "Anyone want to go?"
The first ones that crossed the room were the fifth years, followed by the seventh, then sixth, then fourth, then third.
The first years and second years stayed back a bit, not sure if they were included in this too.
"Come on guys, you're in this too. After all, Harry saved the Philosopher's
Stone when he was in first year and fought and killed a Basilisk in the Chamber
of Secrets in his second year," Jasmine said to them.
They honestly looked happy to be included and both years walked out the door
and towards the Great Hall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry hit the curtain that he knew covered the wall, which was the door to the Hufflepuff common room.
There was a few questioning whispers from the other side, then Hannah opened the door and said, "Harry, what are you doing here?"
That caught a lot of the Hufflepuffs as curious and many of them crowed around the door.
"Umm...if I could come in for a minute I'd tell your whole house at once, so nobody has to repeat themselves," Harry said to them.
The 7th year prefect walked over and looked at Harry for a minute then said, "Let him in."
They all moved out of the way and let Harry in. Right away he had the attention of everyone.
"OK now this is going to sound odd but...the teachers and Aurors ARE going to lose, then old Voldie will come here. I for one am not going to stand for it. If you guys at least want to hear what my sister and I have got to say go to the Great Hall now. The Gryffindors are probably already there," Harry said to them.
There was some mumbling around the room, then slowly everyone got up and started walking out the secret passage.
Harry smirked and hoped the Ravenclaws would listen too as he Apparated in
front of the large eagle portrait.
He hit the portrait a few times then Cho Change opened the door.
"Harry, what are you doing here?" She asked him, surprised.
"Look can I come in for a minute, I need to talk to all the Ravenclaws," Harry said to her.
She stared at him for a minute, then nodded and moved out of the way.
"Who was it Cho?" A guy called out from across the room, then his mouth fell open as Harry walked in.
"Look I know this seems wrong, its against the
teacher's orders and all, but we need your guys help to do something...we need
everyone in the school to help. The Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs are in the
Great Hall waiting to hear what Jasmine and I have got to say, so are you guys
going to go too or not?" Harry asked them.
Everyone stared at him with surprise.
He sighed and said, "Make up your minds, I've got to try and get the Slytherins to help too...so I can't stay here...god knows how long it'll take me to get them to listen."
With that he apparated away again.
(Note: Not sure if anyone remembers, cause I didn't remember myself but I said Harry and Jasmine learned how to apparate in Hogwarts)
"Well, do we go?" Cho asked.
Michael, the Head boy, stood up then said, "Lets go."
Everyone stared at him for a minute then they all got up and started moving towards the Great Hall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry stared at the secret passage into the Slytherin common room and finally took a deep breath and kicked it very hard.
A minute later, who should open the passage then Malfoy.
(Note: Ok I was reading back and I seemed to make Malfoy a Death Eater and made him go to Dumbledore, then I just made him come back as if nothing was wrong. Well anyways just ignore the whole death eater thing...pretend it never happened)
"Potter, what are you doing here?" Malfoy said to him darkly.
"Look I know this is going to sound odd...but I need to talk to everybody in
your house right now. Meaning I want to come in for a minute," Harry said.
Malfoy looked shocked then said, "Why?"
"Look its confusing and all...but it has to do with the Death Eaters," Harry said.
"Who is it Draco?" A seventh year Prefect asked.
"Potter. He wants to come in to talk to us all for a minute," Malfoy said.
"Screw you Potter," The prefect said and closed the passage.
Harry felt the rage in his body rise and suddenly the whole wall vanished, leaving the Slytherins in plain view of anybody.
"Hey, I finally got it to work," Harry muttered then glared at them all and said, "You're all at least going to hear me out, alright!"
He got death glares, confused glares and some curious ones too.
He took out his wand and muttered a spell, and suddenly about half the Slytherins were knocked out and were put in black bubbles they couldn't get out of.
"What the hell? Potter take them out! They'll
suffocate!" S 6th year yelled.
"No they won't, there's air going into it. Those are all the Death Eaters," Harry said, "Now the rest of you listen to me. The Death Eaters will defeat the teachers and Aurors, so we need a plan to defend ourselves. Go up to the Great Hall with the rest of the school and at least listen to Jasmine and me, then if you're still thinking 'screw them' then you can walk off," Harry said.
They stared at him then Malfoy and Blaise got up and started walking out the door.
One after another they all walked out of the wall-less room and towards the Great Hall.
Harry put the wall back after they were all out and said, "Well, its show
time."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Great Hall held all the confused students, who were sitting at their house tables.
Jasmine stood at the front of the room and was rubbing her temples. They were
all giving her a terrible headache.
Harry suddenly strode in and moved towards her.
When people saw him they all quieted down to see what was going to happen next.
He reached Jasmine and passed her Ravenclaw's sword then turned towards the rest of the school and said, "Ok you're all wondering where this is going right?"
"Damn straight we are!" A Slytherin yelled.
"OK its like this. The Teachers said if they lose we're going to run right? Well we say why bother? They're just going to catch up with us all anyways!" Jasmine said to them.
"So what do you two propose we do!" Someone yelled, then a wave of agreement followed, making it so Harry could barley hear himself think, let alone talk.
Suddenly there was a cracking sound and sparks shot everywhere.
The Potter Twins looked over and saw Hermione lowering her wand.
"Thanks Mione. Anyways, what are we planning on doing? Here are the facts. The Death Eaters outnumber the teachers 1 to 4, but WE out number them 1 to 8, meaning we have the advantage," Jasmine said.
"Here's what we're really proposing. We fight them! All of us! First to Seventh years. I've taking care of all the Death Eaters here already, so there's no need to worry about them. But think about it, even the Slytherins. What do we have to lose right now? Nothing much, that's for sure. What do we have to gain? Almost everything!" Harry said, "I'd appreciate anybody who'd be willing to fight, if they would, but if you don't want to then go back to your common rooms. Those that are willing to fight, stand up," Harry said to them.
Almost right away every Gryffindor stood up, soon followed by the Ravenclaws, then by all the Hufflepuffs. After a moments pause Malfoy stood up, then Blaise, then everyone else started standing up.
Soon Harry and Jasmine stood in shock, seeing the whole Great Hall standing for them.
Harry smiled then said, "You realize we're rebelling against the Professors."
"Hell ya!" George yelled.
Jasmine nodded then said, "Get ready to fight! We'll wait for them to show up here."
People did indeed start doing that. Even the first years were going for their strongest spells and hexes.
The twins left the hall and Jasmine said, "Good lord, we're all going to die."
"Don't say that Jaz. Remember, Dad and Gemma are with us too," Harry said to her.
"Right," She replied, then suddenly their pendants started glowing and their
clothes changed. They were wearing the robes they had when they met Merlin and
the Hogwarts Founders after Gemma had died. Harry's was scarlet red with gold
trim and Jasmine's was royal blue with bronze trim.
"What the hell?" Harry muttered.
"Wait Harry, you said you had a dream where a boy in red robes and a girl in
blue robes were fighting against a man in green robes right?" Jasmine said.
"Yeah," Harry said slowly.
"Harry, it was us," She said.
"Us...Jasmine...Dumbledore was right, History is repeating itself...but its up to us to determine the outcome," Harry said to her.
"Judging the fact that we're working together will all four houses now, I'd say were doing a good job," Jasmine said.
Harry sighed and held his head to his hands and said, "We'd better be doing the right thing. I myself might be willing to die, but I don't want any of them to die." He jerked his head to the Great Hall.
"Well then we'd better be right on the dot, cause I'd say the Death Eaters are almost here," Jasmine replied.
Harry nodded and both walked back into the Great Hall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lily pushed herself off the ground and groaned in pain. Looking around she saw some teachers doing the same, well others lay still for the rest of eternity.
"Professor Dumbledore," She gasped like a small child and rushed over to him.
"Lily, good luck with Harry and Jasmine," He croaked out.
"Don't be absurd Albus, you're going to make it," McGonagall said and limped over as well.
"I'm sorry, I let you all down. Do not fear though, Voldemort will meet his match...there is one last obsical he didn't predict, and it is one he will not get through," Dumbledore said then coughed a few times then said, "Lily, my granddaughter, be strong, you will know what to do when the time comes. You're family may live in my old mansion, for it is rightfully yours. And none of you, no one here will surrender, or you will be cursed forever." With those final words Albus Dumbledore closed his eyes and stopped breathing...lost from the world forever.
Lily gasped and set his head lightly on the ground, only noticing now the large burn mark in his side, the one that spilled most of his blood and made him lose his life.
"Voldemort will pay," She spat and got up.
McGonagall, Snape, Remus, Sirius, Flitwick and a few Aurors were all that was
left.
"Right behind you Lils," A woman with brown straight hair and violet eyes said, she was Sirius's cousin Nymphadora Tonks (Perferrably Tonks).
Kingsley Shacklebolt nodded in agreement and Mad-Eye Moody walked towards them.
The few other Aurors that were alive nodded too.
"Alright, lets go," Sirius said and started leading the way after the Death Eaters, back to Hogwarts...
