Chapter 5: At The Midnight Cry
"It's really beautifully out tonight," thought Harry as he looked out his window into the summer night. The 14 year old was sitting on his bed looking out the window letting the cool breeze blow into the stuff room. After the little incident in the garden, he had run into his room. Uncle Vernon had stomped up the stairs after him and actually locked in his room. That had been around five o'clock it was now almost eleven at night.
"I wonder what everyone else is doing?" thought Harry as he closed the window. His stomach grumbled. Harry placed his hand on his stomach, " I am so hungry."
Harry went over to the side of his bed and got down on his knees. He reached down and pried open a particular floorboard. The board squeaked. Harry paused a moment to make sure no one had awoke. But the only sound was Uncle Vernon's snoring. Harry breathed a sigh of relief. The black haired boy reached into the space where the floorboard was and pulled a rucksack of candy left over from the train ride home.
"I can't believe I have to hide." thought Harry as he sat on his bed to eat.
When he was full, Harry put the bag back into the floor, but left the floorboard off just in case in he got hungry again.
"I better do some homework so that I don't get behind. I can't believe I just thought that!" thought Harry as he went to over to his trunk to get his homework. Harry smiled as he pulled out his History of Magic book, parchment, quill and a bottle of ink. Harry remembered why he had been allowed his trunk in his room. The reason was Sirius. Sirius was a wanted wizard who had been accused of betraying Harry's parents and the death of thirteen muggles. But Sirius had been framed by man named Peter Pettirgrew, the real person who had killed those people and betrayed Harry's parents.
Harry looked out the window. He had not heard from Sirius in awhile, not since the.. Harry shook his head he would not think about last year. He went over to his bed and started his essay on Great Wizards of the 15th century.
After Harry had been working on his essay for almost an hour, he looked up at the clock on the bedside table. It flashed 11:46.
" Phew. Time just flew." whispered Harry as he put down his school things back into his trunk. Harry glanced around the room to make sure everything was okay for the night. Seeing everything was, he changed into his pajamas and climbed into bed. Harry put his glasses on the side table and turned off the light. As Harry snuggled down into the covers, his had one last thought before sleep overcame him.
"I hope I have no dreams tonight. I wish I could have one decent night's sleep," thought Harry as sleep overcame him.
All was quiet in the house and on the street. This moment of peace and serenity was not to last. For when every clock on Privet Drive struck midnight something unforeseen happened.
BOOM!!
Harry jumped out of bed when he heard the boom. Hedwig was shrieking. Harry could hear the Dursley's yelling about freaks. Harry ignored this as he made his way to the window where a strange purple and green light was pouring through. The sight that he saw made him pale.
Around the house were Death Eaters and in the middle was the Dark Lord Voldamort, laughing as he saw Harry's pale face. Voldamort and the Death Eaters had their wands out and were pointing at strange bubbles that completely surround the Dursilys house.
"Well, Potter. I see you did not expect to see us so soon," shouted Voldamort to the still shocked Harry. Some of the Death Eaters laughed at Harry's expression. "Nothing to say? I hope you have more to say as soon as we get rid of this shield. Continue." Said Voldamort to the Death Eaters.
The Death Eaters raised their wands and all together spoke a curse.
"Confringo" shouted the Death Eaters. Harry widened even more as he saw the golden shield around the house grow a little bit darker.
"Crap," said Harry turning away from the window to his trunk. Harry kicked it opened and pulled out his wand.
"What I am going to do?" thought Harry as opened his bedroom door; he tried to walk into the hallway but was blocked by Vernon Dursilys. Harry could see Petunia and Dudley cowering in the doorway of the other bedroom.
"BOY!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!? YOU'RE DOING THAT ABNORMATLITY OF YOURS!" Shouted Mr. Dursley to a dumb struck Harry. Vernon contained to rant before Harry shouted back at him.
"Listen hear, you muggle. The wizard who killed my parents is trying to get into this house. If you want your family to live, you will do as I say. Unless you want to end up dead," shouted Harry to his Uncle. At his announcement, the Dursilys had gone white.
Vernon nodded his head quickly.
"Good. Take your family and go to your bedroom. Barricade the door and hope that someone comes to save us," said Harry as he went down the stairs to the living room.
As Harry stepped into the living room, he heard the sound of a door slamming shut and the sound of scraping. The living room was bathed in pale gold color that poured in from the windows. Harry took a deep breath and went to the middle of living room and waited for a murder.
Harry looked at the windows. The light had started to grow dimmer and dimmer until it went out. The raven-haired boy went and hid behind the couch.
"As good it will do me if they started thrown curses." thought Harry as he looked at the front door. Time seamed to slow down.
"Open the door, Snape." spoke the Dark Lord outside the front door.
Harry froze when he heard that. "Snape?!? But." Harry's thoughts trailed off as he remembered that last year he had found that Snape was a spy for Dumbledore. "He can't help. If he does his cover will be blown" thought Harry as he heard the Hogworts Potion Master used the Alohamora charm to open the door.
Harry raised his wand. With the door opened, four people stepped inside. Three of the Death Eaters had their hoods up but Harry knew that Snape was one of them. The fourth man was none other then the Dark Lord himself.
"My Lord, shall we start the search?" asked one of men; Harry recognized the voice as Lucius Malfoy. Lucius was a Dark Wizard and from what Harry understood Voldamorts second in command. Harry's face went colder as he thought about what Malfoy senior had did to Ginny Weasley, Ron's little sister, back in Harry's second year. Lucius had slipped the cursed diary of Tom Riddle, Lord Voldamort, into Ginny's school things. Harry had found out later that Riddle had been draining Ginny of her life force to make his memory locked in the diary alive.
Harry drew deep breath to steady his nerves. "Calm down, Potter. If you don't your going to end up dead," thought Harry as he steady his anger and nerves. The raven-haired boy strained to hear what the men were saying.
"Yes, Lucius. Search the house, but be quick about. Wormtail, Snape search the upstairs. If you find those muggle relatives of Harry's kill them. Find Potter and be quick about it. The Ministry of Magic will be here soon!" ordered Voldamort as his eyes looked around the downstairs with a sneer on his face.
Harry froze when he heard the name Wormtail. Wormtail, the man who had killed over ten muggles, the man who framed it on his Godfather Sirius. The man who had betrayed his parents to the Dark wizard, Voldamort. Harry quickly thought up a plan when he had heard that Voldamort had told three of the men to kill.
"I have to stall them until help comes. I hope I can hold out that lone," thought Harry as he raised his wand to cast the first curse that came to his mind. "STUPHY" shouted Harry pointing wildly at the front door. The Dark Lord and his followers were taking by surprise, but quick reflexes saved them from being stunned. All four men jumped out the door as fast as they could.
Harry smiled as he heard the shouts of Lord Voldamort from outside of the house.
"You fools!! Why was not someone of you watching?" shouted Voldamort to the Death Eaters. "ANSWER ME!!"
"My.. My Lord, we" said a voice that was unmistakable Peter Peittgrew. Wormtail never finished that thought.
"Silence. For your mistake, you will be punished," said the Dark Lord without mercy. "CRUCIO!"
Harry sat stone still as he listened to the sounds of a man being tortured. Harry went pale as he remembered the pain of being under the Crucio Curse.
"I don't even wish that on Wormtail. NO body deserves that." thought Harry as he stood up from behind the couch. Harry stood as he listened for more screams but there was none only the sound of someone crying very loudly. Harry listened for anything but there was nothing.
Suddenly the door and the front window were blowing in. Harry cried out as pieces of glass and wood poured over him. Wizard dressed in black cloaks poured into the house. Harry had no time to react as he was caught. Two wizards held his arms and a third pried his wand out of his fingers.
"Well, well. Mr. Potter, such a warm welcome you have give us" spoke Voldamort as he stepped into the house through the door he had just exited a few minutes ago. Harry raised his head and glared at Voldamort. This was the man that had caused all his pain.
Something moved behind Voldamort in the runes of what used to be the Dursleys front wall. A street lamp flashed a little light on a black cloak.
"Must be the rest of the Death Eaters," thought Harry as his gaze returned to the others in the room. Voldamort was walking towered Harry flanked by a Death Eater on each side. Death Eaters were positioned by the front door, the stairs and the kitchen doorway. Harry looked at the man holding his wand. He was not wearing his hood all the way down, the man stepped aside to let the Dark Lord a closer look at the boy, the boy recognized him. It was Snape.
Harry locked eyes with his Potions Professor. Professor Snape moved his eyebrows in way of letting Harry that he was not alone. Harry sighed at this maybe he was not alone.
"Not talking are we Potter?" asked Voldamort as he stepped closer to Harry. He signaled for his Death Eaters to step aside. The Death Eaters let him drop to the floor in heap. Harry gasped and reached for his scar.
"Why now? Why now?" thought Harry as his scare was hurting so bad that it felt like twenty dragons were stomping in his head. This did not go unnoticed by Voldamort or his Death Eaters.
"Having a problem, Potter?" sneered the Death Eater on the right of the Dark Lord. It was Malfoy. The Dark Lord quickly turned around and glared at him. Lucius quieted.
"You're wondering why your scar just started to hurt. The answer is quiet simply. You see, though my Death Eaters and I were able to get through the shield around your home. There is still quiet a lot of protection around your home, it's just designed to work against people all ready in your home. The wards actually kept you from pain." stated Voldamort with a evil smile, as if he (AN:I just hit 2000 words for this chapter. This is the longest chapter I have ever written. Back To the story.) was explain something very simple.
"Thank you for explaining that, Tom" said Harry with a smile from the floor. Voldamort eyes filled with rage.
"Do not call me that, boy," shouted Voldamort with anger. Voldamort with drew his wand. He then spoke in a quiet voice that sent chills down Harry's back. "Now, Mr. Potter I believe it is time to say good-bye."
With that, Voldamort raised his wand about to cure the Boy-Who-Lived. Unseen by all expect for Harry, Severus Snape had raised Harry's wand and was going to curse The Dark Lord. But he stopped before anyone could see when something amazing happened.
Voldamort stopped.
"Before I kill you, would you answer me a question?" inquired the Dark Lord in a surprising polite voice.
"What?" answered Harry hesitantly. The other Death Eaters listened what their master was about to say.
"I was wondering who would you like to join you first in the afterlife." spoke Voldamort. Harry gasped and the Death Eaters expect one laughed. " Perhaps the Weasleys. Hmm. What's that boys name, Lucius?
"Ron, My lord." spoke Mr. Malfoy with a laugh. Harry glared at the blond headed man. Who just smirked at him. This sent Harry into a scowl, which caused the Death Eaters to laugh, and even a small laugh from Voldamort. No noticed that something in Harry was changing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
Snape was biting his tongue to keep from doing anything. He had to wait until help arrived.
"Where is the Order?" thought Severus as he looked outside. When he heard the laughing he looked at the Death Eaters and scowled. He was about to look back outside when he noticed something in Potters eyes.
"What.." Snape never finished that thought as he saw lighting run across Harry's dark emerald eyes.
Severus was monetarily dazed but he quickly recovered and looked to see if anyone had seen. No one had they were to busy laughing at the boy.
"What in the name of Merlin was that?" wondered Snape as his thoughts turned back to the scene before him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
Harry Potter was furious.
"How dare he. That, That monster." Thought Harry as he glared at the Dark Lord. Harry winced as his scar flared in pain. This did not go unnoticed by Voldamort. The Dark Lord smiled and spoke again.
"Perhaps I should go after that mud blood girl. What's her name again?" inquired Voldamort.
"Hermione Granger, My Lord." spoke Lucius with a sneer.
Harry had an enough.
"NO!!! DON'T YOU DARE COME NEAR MY FRIENDS!! I'LL KILL YOU!!" shouted Harry. Harry's normal bright emerald eyes had turned a dark jade color. This caused the Death Eaters to laugh unafraid at what a mere fourteen-year- old boy could do.
"Dare? I dare anything and anyone, Mr. Potter. Perhaps I won't attack them after all." said Voldamort. When he said this everyone in the room looked at him.
"What?" asked Harry not believing what he had heard. Voldamort could not have said that, could he?
"No, perhaps I will just attack their family's." stated Voldamort with a laugh. The Death Eaters laughed while Harry became even more furious. "Perhaps I will attack that mudbloods family. Or I could attack Arthur's family. How many are there now?"
"Too many, My Lord." stated a Death Eater that been quite through the whole ordeal.
"Your right, Avery." spoke Voldamort looking from Avery to Harry. "Perhaps I should start killing them first. The children? Who should go first the oldest, your best friend, or perhaps the youngest, Ginny."
At the mention of Ginny's name, Harry looked up surprised.
"How did you know about her?" stammered Harry through the pain his scar was causing. At this Voldamorts crimson eyes glittered.
"It's very simple. When Miss. Weasley opened my diary, it formed a temporary link between the diary and her. The link was destroyed when you destroyed it but not before allowing the whole experience to be transferred to my wandering spirit." said Voldamort. Then he grinned as if he was struck by the greatest idea in the world. "Perhaps I will start with her. Sort of renew our old friendship."
Voldamort and the Death Eaters laughed at the expression on Harry's face.
"No, not Ginny." thought and prayed Harry Potter. "No her. Not my Ginny. My Ginny, when did she become my Ginny."
"Yes. I believe that's what I will do first. So it is time for us to part. Mr. Potter, I wish I could say it's been a pleasure but we both know that would be lie. No one here to save you this time." spoke Voldamort as he raised his wand.
"No. No. I want let you hurt her. I want let you hurt her or my family." thought Harry as his anger mounted. He turned his gaze to Voldamort and for once in his whole life, Voldamort stopped.
Voldamort gasped and stepped back. The Death Eaters looked at their master and then looked at Harry. What they saw made them move back. Harry's eyes were hard and cold. Lighting was running across them in all directions.
"I want allow you to hurt anyone," stated the Boy-Who-Lived as he slowly arose off the floor to hover in the air three feet off the ground. "I won't ALLOW IT!!"
The ravened haired boy threw his arms and what happened would be remembered for a long time. Lighting poured out of his hands and arms striking everything and everyone. Death Eaters screamed as the lighting traveled across their bodies leaving smoldering robes and flesh. The worst one hit was Voldamort himself who was almost on the floor from the onslaught of magic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
Severus Snape stood dumb struck at what he was seeing.
"How is it possible? He has so much power and he is only fourteen!" thought Snape as he saw a lighting bolt speed straight towered him. Severus closed his eyes prepared for the impact but there was none. Snape opened his eyes, looked down and gasped. Lighting was running across his chest but it was not hurting in any way. Snape looked back up at Harry. The blue lighting was still pouring out him like a river and his head was still throwing back.
"He must know I am not really a Death Eater, but I had best play along so no suspects anything." thought Snape as griped his chest in a act of pain. After been put through some many Crucio curses, Snape had learned to act out pain. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
While everyone was caught up in a storm of lighting, one person in the center was having a vision. Harry was experiencing the same dream he had for the past few days. He was flying through the air, and then he was flying to Hogworts. The creature that blocked the moon was there and suddenly he was in the Great Hall facing the same five people. Expect they were if it was possibly smiling wider. The middleman in the blue robe stood and applauded. The rest stood and did the same. The man in the red robe came closer to Harry. And the applause stopped. The man in the red robe spoke.
"Awake, my heir. Use thy gift but do not remember this night until you are ready." said the man and placed his hand on Harry's head. Harry felt something push on his mind. He was suddenly thrown back into the real world.
Harry gazed around the room at the Death Eaters who were being electrocuted. Harry felt something press on his mind that he did not have long to act.
"I don't what it is but if I am going to something I have to do it now," thought Harry as he lowered his arms to his side. The lighting stopped and he was lowered to the floor. Everyone gazed at him and he returned that without fear. Harry noticed that his scar was not hurting anymore.
"How did you do that?" demanded Voldamort, as he stood straight without fear. The Death Eaters were trying to decide if they should run and face their master's anger or Harry Potters.
"That's the question you should be asking," said Harry with an evil glint in his eye which made everyone but Voldamort head towered the door. " The question you should be asking is where you will live to see another day."
Voldamorts eyes went wide.
"Retreat!!" shouted the Dark Lord but it was to late. Harry took a deep breath and screamed. The scream was like a banshees scream only the wind was blowing hard enough for the broken bits of wood, furniture, and small knickknacks to blow around the room and out the door. The Death Eaters, along with their master were disapparating as soon as they could.
Harry stopped screaming but he could not stop what happened next. The minute he stopped. He griped his forehead to stop the room from spinning but it would not. Harry moaned from the nausea and pain.
"Please stop." whispered Harry as he surrendered to the darkness. The darkness welcomed him and held him in a lovers embrace. But it did not stop the whispering he heard. Harry struggled to open his eyes.
"Professor! Look he's coming around," said a voice that Harry could not recognize. Harry forced his eyes open and he gazed into the twinkling blue eyes of Albus Dumbledore. Harry started to explain what had happened but the Headmaster put a hand on his shoulder.
"It's all right, my boy. You can explain everything later. You need to get some rest." spoke the old wizard kindly.
Harry nodded and closed his eyes sinking back into the darkness of sleep.

"It's really beautifully out tonight," thought Harry as he looked out his window into the summer night. The 14 year old was sitting on his bed looking out the window letting the cool breeze blow into the stuff room. After the little incident in the garden, he had run into his room. Uncle Vernon had stomped up the stairs after him and actually locked in his room. That had been around five o'clock it was now almost eleven at night.

But the only sound was Uncle Vernon's snoring. Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

"I better do some homework so that I don't get behind. I can't believe I just thought that!" thought Harry as he went to over to his trunk to get his homework. Harry smiled as he pulled out his History of Magic book, parchment, quill and a bottle of ink. Harry remembered why he had been allowed his trunk in his room. The reason was Sirius. Sirius was a wanted wizard who had been accused of betraying Harry's parents and the death of thirteen muggles.

Harry jumped out of bed when he heard the boom. Hedwig was shrieking. Harry could hear the Dursley's yelling about freaks. Harry ignored this as he made his way to the window where a strange purple and green light was pouring through. The sight that he saw made him pale.
Around the house were Death Eaters and in the middle was the Dark Lord Voldamort, laughing as he saw Harry's pale face. Voldamort and the Death Eaters had their wands out and were pointing at strange bubbles that completely surround the Dursilys house.
"Well, Potter. I see you did not expect to see us so soon," shouted Voldamort to the still shocked Harry. Some of the Death Eaters laughed at Harry's expression. "Nothing to say? I hope you have more to say as soon as we get rid of this shield. Continue." Said Voldamort to the Death Eaters.
The Death Eaters raised their wands and all together spoke a curse.
"Confringo" shouted the Death Eaters. Harry widened even more as he saw the golden shield around the house grow a little bit darker.
"Crap," said Harry turning away from the window to his trunk. Harry kicked it opened and pulled out his wand.
"What I am going to do?" thought Harry as opened his bedroom door; he tried to walk into the hallway but was blocked by Vernon Dursilys. Harry could see Petunia and Dudley cowering in the doorway of the other bedroom.
"BOY!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!? YOU'RE DOING THAT ABNORMATLITY OF YOURS!" Shouted Mr. Dursley to a dumb struck Harry. Vernon contained to rant before Harry shouted back at him.
"Listen hear, you muggle. The wizard who killed my parents is trying to get into this house. If you want your family to live, you will do as I say. Unless you want to end up dead," shouted Harry to his Uncle. At his announcement, the Dursilys had gone white.
Vernon nodded his head quickly.
"Good. Take your family and go to your bedroom. Barricade the door and hope that someone comes to save us," said Harry as he went down the stairs to the living room.
As Harry stepped into the living room, he heard the sound of a door slamming shut and the sound of scraping. The living room was bathed in pale gold color that poured in from the windows. Harry took a deep breath and went to the middle of living room and waited for a murder.
Harry looked at the windows. The light had started to grow dimmer and dimmer until it went out. The raven-haired boy went and hid behind the couch.
"As good it will do me if they started thrown curses." thought Harry as he looked at the front door. Time seamed to slow down.
"Open the door, Snape." spoke the Dark Lord outside the front door.
Harry froze when he heard that. "Snape?!? But." Harry's thoughts trailed off as he remembered that last year he had found that Snape was a spy for Dumbledore. "He can't help. If he does his cover will be blown" thought Harry as he heard the Hogworts Potion Master used the Alohamora charm to open the door.
Harry raised his wand. With the door opened, four people stepped inside. Three of the Death Eaters had their hoods up but Harry knew that Snape was one of them. The fourth man was none other then the Dark Lord himself.
"My Lord, shall we start the search?" asked one of men; Harry recognized the voice as Lucius Malfoy. Lucius was a Dark Wizard and from what Harry understood Voldamorts second in command. Harry's face went colder as he thought about what Malfoy senior had did to Ginny Weasley, Ron's little sister, back in Harry's second year. Lucius had slipped the cursed diary of Tom Riddle, Lord Voldamort, into Ginny's school things. Harry had found out later that Riddle had been draining Ginny of her life force to make his memory locked in the diary alive.
Harry drew deep breath to steady his nerves. "Calm down, Potter. If you don't your going to end up dead," thought Harry as he steady his anger and nerves. The raven-haired boy strained to hear what the men were saying.
"Yes, Lucius. Search the house, but be quick about. Wormtail, Snape search the upstairs. If you find those muggle relatives of Harry's kill them. Find Potter and be quick about it. The Ministry of Magic will be here soon!" ordered Voldamort as his eyes looked around the downstairs with a sneer on his face.
Harry froze when he heard the name Wormtail. Wormtail, the man who had killed over ten muggles, the man who framed it on his Godfather Sirius. The man who had betrayed his parents to the Dark wizard, Voldamort. Harry quickly thought up a plan when he had heard that Voldamort had told three of the men to kill.
"I have to stall them until help comes. I hope I can hold out that lone," thought Harry as he raised his wand to cast the first curse that came to his mind. "STUPHY" shouted Harry pointing wildly at the front door. The Dark Lord and his followers were taking by surprise, but quick reflexes saved them from being stunned.

"My.. My Lord, we" said a voice that was unmistakable Peter Peittgrew. Wormtail never finished that thought.
"Silence. For your mistake, you will be punished," said the Dark Lord without mercy. "CRUCIO!"
Harry sat stone still as he listened to the sounds of a man being tortured. Harry went pale as he remembered the pain of being under the Crucio Curse.
"I don't even wish that on Wormtail. NO body deserves that." thought Harry as he stood up from behind the couch. Harry stood as he listened for more screams but there was none only the sound of someone crying very loudly. Harry listened for anything but there was nothing.
Suddenly the door and the front window were blowing in. Harry cried out as pieces of glass and wood poured over him. Wizard dressed in black cloaks poured into the house. Harry had no time to react as he was caught. Two wizards held his arms and a third pried his wand out of his fingers.

Something moved behind Voldamort in the runes of what used to be the Dursleys front wall. A street lamp flashed a little light on a black cloak.

"Thank you for explaining that, Tom" said Harry with a smile from the floor. Voldamort eyes filled with rage.
"Do not call me that, boy," shouted Voldamort with anger. Voldamort with drew his wand. He then spoke in a quiet voice that sent chills down Harry's back. "Now, Mr. Potter I believe it is time to say good-bye."

"Where is the Order?" thought Severus as he looked outside. When he heard the laughing he looked at the Death Eaters and scowled. He was about to look back outside when he noticed something in Potters eyes.
"What.." Snape never finished that thought as he saw lighting run across Harry's dark emerald eyes.
Severus was monetarily dazed but he quickly recovered and looked to see if anyone had seen. No one had they were to busy laughing at the boy.
"What in the name of Merlin was that?" wondered Snape as his thoughts turned back to the scene before him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
Harry Potter was furious.
"How dare he. That, That monster." Thought Harry as he glared at the Dark Lord. Harry winced as his scar flared in pain. This did not go unnoticed by Voldamort. The Dark Lord smiled and spoke again.
"Perhaps I should go after that mud blood girl. What's her name again?" inquired Voldamort.
"Hermione Granger, My Lord." spoke Lucius with a sneer.
Harry had an enough.
"NO!!! DON'T YOU DARE COME NEAR MY FRIENDS!! I'LL KILL YOU!!" shouted Harry. Harry's normal bright emerald eyes had turned a dark jade color. This caused the Death Eaters to laugh unafraid at what a mere fourteen-year- old boy could do.
"Dare? I dare anything and anyone, Mr. Potter. Perhaps I won't attack them after all." said Voldamort. When he said this everyone in the room looked at him.
"What?" asked Harry not believing what he had heard. Voldamort could not have said that, could he?
"No, perhaps I will just attack their family's." stated Voldamort with a laugh. The Death Eaters laughed while Harry became even more furious. "Perhaps I will attack that mudbloods family. Or I could attack Arthur's family. How many are there now?"
"Too many, My Lord." stated a Death Eater that been quite through the whole ordeal.
"Your right, Avery." spoke Voldamort looking from Avery to Harry. "Perhaps I should start killing them first. The children? Who should go first the oldest, your best friend, or perhaps the youngest, Ginny."
At the mention of Ginny's name, Harry looked up surprised.
"How did you know about her?" stammered Harry through the pain his scar was causing. At this Voldamorts crimson eyes glittered.
"It's very simple. When Miss. Weasley opened my diary, it formed a temporary link between the diary and her. The link was destroyed when you destroyed it but not before allowing the whole experience to be transferred to my wandering spirit." said Voldamort. Then he grinned as if he was struck by the greatest idea in the world. "Perhaps I will start with her. Sort of renew our old friendship."
Voldamort and the Death Eaters laughed at the expression on Harry's face.
"No, not Ginny." thought and prayed Harry Potter. "No her. Not my Ginny. My Ginny, when did she become my Ginny."
"Yes. I believe that's what I will do first. So it is time for us to part. Mr. Potter, I wish I could say it's been a pleasure but we both know that would be lie. No one here to save you this time." spoke Voldamort as he raised his wand.
"No. No. I want let you hurt her. I want let you hurt her or my family." thought Harry as his anger mounted. He turned his gaze to Voldamort and for once in his whole life, Voldamort stopped.
Voldamort gasped and stepped back. The Death Eaters looked at their master and then looked at Harry. What they saw made them move back. Harry's eyes were hard and cold. Lighting was running across them in all directions.
"I want allow you to hurt anyone," stated the Boy-Who-Lived as he slowly arose off the floor to hover in the air three feet off the ground. "I won't ALLOW IT!!"
The ravened haired boy threw his arms and what happened would be remembered for a long time. Lighting poured out of his hands and arms striking everything and everyone. Death Eaters screamed as the lighting traveled across their bodies leaving smoldering robes and flesh. The worst one hit was Voldamort himself who was almost on the floor from the onslaught of magic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
Severus Snape stood dumb struck at what he was seeing.
"How is it possible? He has so much power and he is only fourteen!" thought Snape as he saw a lighting bolt speed straight towered him. Severus closed his eyes prepared for the impact but there was none. Snape opened his eyes, looked down and gasped. Lighting was running across his chest but it was not hurting in any way. Snape looked back up at Harry. The blue lighting was still pouring out him like a river and his head was still throwing back.
"He must know I am not really a Death Eater, but I had best play along so no suspects anything." thought Snape as griped his chest in a act of pain. After been put through some many Crucio curses, Snape had learned to act out pain. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
While everyone was caught up in a storm of lighting, one person in the center was having a vision. Harry was experiencing the same dream he had for the past few days. He was flying through the air, and then he was flying to Hogworts. The creature that blocked the moon was there and suddenly he was in the Great Hall facing the same five people. Expect they were if it was possibly smiling wider. The middleman in the blue robe stood and applauded. The rest stood and did the same. The man in the red robe came closer to Harry. And the applause stopped. The man in the red robe spoke.
"Awake, my heir. Use thy gift but do not remember this night until you are ready." said the man and placed his hand on Harry's head. Harry felt something push on his mind. He was suddenly thrown back into the real world.
Harry gazed around the room at the Death Eaters who were being electrocuted. Harry felt something press on his mind that he did not have long to act.
"I don't what it is but if I am going to something I have to do it now," thought Harry as he lowered his arms to his side. The lighting stopped and he was lowered to the floor. Everyone gazed at him and he returned that without fear. Harry noticed that his scar was not hurting anymore.
"How did you do that?" demanded Voldamort, as he stood straight without fear. The Death Eaters were trying to decide if they should run and face their master's anger or Harry Potters.
"That's the question you should be asking," said Harry with an evil glint in his eye which made everyone but Voldamort head towered the door. " The question you should be asking is where you will live to see another day."
Voldamorts eyes went wide.
"Retreat!!" shouted the Dark Lord but it was to late. Harry took a deep breath and screamed. The scream was like a banshees scream only the wind was blowing hard enough for the broken bits of wood, furniture, and small knickknacks to blow around the room and out the door. The Death Eaters, along with their master were disapparating as soon as they could.
Harry stopped screaming but he could not stop what happened next. The minute he stopped. He griped his forehead to stop the room from spinning but it would not. Harry moaned from the nausea and pain.
"Please stop." whispered Harry as he surrendered to the darkness. The darkness welcomed him and held him in a lovers embrace. But it did not stop the whispering he heard. Harry struggled to open his eyes.
"Professor! Look he's coming around," said a voice that Harry could not recognize. Harry forced his eyes open and he gazed into the twinkling blue eyes of Albus Dumbledore. Harry started to explain what had happened but the Headmaster put a hand on his shoulder.
"It's all right, my boy. You can explain everything later. You need to get some rest." spoke the old wizard kindly.
Harry nodded and closed his eyes sinking back into the darkness of sleep.
