Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. It is owned by the great creator and writer J.K. Rowling.
To those who reviewed and said the Marvolo was Voldemort's middle name: I know this. Riddle was his last name but he also said in the 2nd book and 2nd movie that he would not keep his filthy muggle father's name. So I made Katie's last name Marvolo. Also I have changed this chapter. It will now be the start of the demise of Harry and Katie's rlationship and the start of Harry and Ginny's. Also now this story will be found under the Harry/Ginny Pairing.
Chapter 8
A New Minister of Magic?
Harry woke up from his unconcious state 3 hours later laying in the hospital wing. He looked over to see Albus, Severus, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Draco sitting by his bed. Oddly enough Katie was gone.
"Hey everyone" Harry managed to say.
"Ah, Harry. It is about time you woke up. We were beginning to think you wouldn't wake up." Albus said with a smile.
"How long have I been out?" Harry asked not really wanting to know the answer.
"3 hours." Severus said.
"Harry we have news." Hermione announced.
"Yeah" said Ron "Me and Mione are a couple now!"
"That is great you guys. I am really happy for you." Harry stated.
"Also it turns out that voldemort has sent Lucius Malfoy to run against Arthur Weasley for the spot of Minister of Magic." Albus said with a defiant expression on his face. "It is a good thing that once a judge makes their decision that they can't be swayed with threats."
Everyone around the room gasped. If Lucius Malfoy won the election he would give Voldemort free reign wherever he wanted. Most likely starting with Hogwarts.
"Albus, I need to talk to you and Severus alone please." Harry said with a pleading look in his eyes.
"Very well" Albus said turning towards the other 4 "I am going to have to ask you to leave.
The other 4 students left looking a little glum. Harry then started into the whole story of what happend in Transfiguration and why he fainted afterwards. He told them about how he had a vision of Voldemort shortly after leaving the classroom. He said that Voldemort was planning once Lucius Malfoy was appointed Minister of Magic that he would attack Hogwarts and kill all the people that opposed him. Then Harry asked the question that he delayed asking since his first year "Albus, why did Voldemort try to kill me when I was only a year old?"
Albus turned to Harry looking very grave and he knew that Harry would not let him escape without an explanation.
"You see Harry there was prophecy made back when the four founders were around that one day all the wizarding world would be plunged into darkness by a dark lord. It also stated that an Heir of Gryffindor and Slytherin would banish the darkness 1 year after his birth. The only way this would happen is for him to suffer the loss of both his parents. The Heir would then fight Voldemort 2 more times until the 3rd time when the darkness would be resurrected. When the Heir became 15 years of age he would be given extrodinary powers that could banish the darkness for the rest of eternity." Albus finished with a grim look on his face.
"Oh" was all Harry could manage to say.
"You see Harry, you are descended from Gryffindor and Slytherin. That is why the sorting hat did not know where to place you. But you chose Gryffindor and that makes you very different from Voldemort. He chose Slytherin because he knew he would turn out to be one of the most powerful sorceror's on the planet. That was until he found out about the prophecy. Then he tried to kill you to make sure the prophecy did not come true. Needless to say that it did not work." Albus said.
"So I am the reason that I have no parents. I am the reason that all those innocent people died. It is all my fault." and with that Harry slipped into unconciousness once again.
Harry was in a dark room with 2 people on the ground cowering. He noticed that these two people were none other than Peter Pettigrew, and Lucius Malfoy, who were released from Azkaban when the Dementors joined the ranks of Voldemort. Harry recognized and looked up into the cold, heartless face of Lord Voldemort. Voldemort took no notice.
"Lucius you have failed to win the election. Now I must find a new way to launch the attack on Hogwarts. But have no fear I will kill that traitor Severus Snape and that muggle-loving fool Albus Dumbledore. There is no way anyone can stop me." The souless, cold, malevolent voice of Lord Voldemort spat at his Death Eater.
"Crucio!" Voldemort screamed.
The curse hit Wormtail and Malfoy and they hit the ground in agony. The screams were matched only by Harry's who no one could hear but Harry and the people at Hogwarts. Harry woke with a start to see everyone staring at him with looks of concern.
"Harry what is it?" this from Ron.
"Another vision?" this from Hermione.
"Silence." Dumbledore said calmly. "Harry could you be kind enough to tell us what happened?"
So Harry launched into an explanation of the vision and what Voldemort had said.
"Oh and congratulations Ron on your dad becoming Minister of Magic." Harry said.
Ron beamed at him with pride.
"So Harry are you feeling up to a nice quidditch match?" Albus asked hopefully.
"Of course" Harry practically screamed.
So 10 minutes later Harry was in the changing rooms giving his warmup speech since he was the captain. Ron, Angelina, Fred, George, Katie, and Alicia were listening intently. He finished and they headed out to the pitch. He heard the roar of the Gryffindor supporters as Madame Hooch whistled for the game to begin. Again he noticed that his girlfriend was not there. The only thought that he had was "Where could she be?"
