Chapter 29
By the end of January the Gryffindors had slowly accepted Draco and helped to keep him safe from the Slytherins that been causing trouble for him. Draco was accepted into the DA and so far no Slytherins had harmed him.
A couple days into February Harry made plans to go to the Weapon Mages school that afternoon. He knew its location thanks to the information he copied from Kiara's mind. Harry could easily use the transport spell to bypass their anti-advanced apparition wards and he would hopefully get into the school without any trouble.
His friends did not like the idea he was going alone. "Harry, please at least take one of us," Ron said.
"Harry you can't go, you're not even sure what kind of school it is," Hermione said worriedly.
"Actually I do Hermione, it a school that still teaches the old ways, like wandless magic, elemental magic, and other arts that were lost over the years. For some reason they have cut themselves off from both the wizarding world and muggle world and I need to know why. That is why I am going alone, none of you would stand a chance if they attacked," Harry said as he checked his armor, sword and Merlin's wand. "We'd better get to Professor Dumbledore so I can tell him I'm leaving."
"Alright go, but hurry back," Hermione said and they all apparated to Dumbledore's office.
Once in Dumbledore office Harry gave Shawnee a long hug. "I don't know how long I'll be Shawnee so please be good to your Aunts and Uncles," Harry said as he set Shawnee down.
"I will, I promise," Shawnee said as she went to Hermione.
"Harry, do be careful and hurry back," Hermione said then kissed Harry.
"So long mate, hurry back," Ron said.
"Harry, I hope you succeed in this mission, please be careful," Dumbledore said.
"I will Professor and I will come home as soon as I can," Harry promised then cast the transport spell and was gone.
The trip took longer than expected but as Harry landed he was facing a large stone building that looked like a Monastery for Monks. It was surrounded by snow and mountains in the distance. Up to about a hundred yards from the outer walls were a number of scattered green trees and green grass layered the ground all the way up to the snow. "Wow, this place is bigger than Hogwarts," Harry said, amazed.
Harry headed to the building, keeping his hands close to his wand and sword. Right before he reached the entrance he stopped. "Great, they know I'm here," Harry thought as he checked the building as two invisible Mages walked yards behind him. "I know you are there, I'm not here to fight, I want to talk," Harry said calmly as he turned around. Unfortunately the mages weren't listening and Harry quickly dodged an attack.
The attacking Mages were not very skilled so Harry just dodged them. After some time the attacks stopped. "Would you three listen now? I'm just here to talk," Harry said to the still invisible attackers.
"I don't know how you can see us, but you're not passing by us," said a young voice.
"No wonder they're not very skilled, that one seems to be a third year," Harry thought, shaking his head. "Alright if you insist." Harry waved his hand and trapped the three students in an invisible cage.
"Hey! Let us out!" they cried as they appeared, dressed in normal robes.
"Just as I thought, students," Harry said then turned to a blocked entrance way.
Four adult Mages were standing in the entrance of the school. "How dare you attack our students! Leave now," the eldest said.
"I didn't attack anyone and I won't leave. I'm here to talk. Please, can I see your Headmaster or the person in charge?" Harry asked but they didn't budge until lightning surrounded Harry. "Not this again," Harry thought.
"Now leave our school, who ever you are, or else," the eldest Mage warned as he ignored Harry words.
"I guess I have no choice." Harry used the transport spell to leave the lightning cage and place the four Mages with the students. "Now, please can I..." Harry started to say but quickly dodged another attack.
As Harry dodged his sword appeared in his hand and blocked another attack. "Great they are fast," Harry thought as he blocked another attack then spun around to kicked the attacker's legs, making him fall into an open portal and the Mage appeared in the cage.
"Not bad, not bad at all," said another voice and over fifteen Mages appeared, surrounding Harry.
Harry saw that he was surrounded. He carefully placed his sword on the ground and slowly removed his wand and place it down to show his surrender. "Now that we can see each other, can we talk about this?" Harry said just as Mage ran at Harry.
"Stop this at once," someone from the entrance yelled just as the Mage sword hit a shield that appeared around Harry. "Now everyone to the school, I will deal with him," said an old looking Mage who reminded Harry of Dumbledore. The others walked away, including those Harry had trapped.
Once it was clear Harry turned to the old Mage. "Why are you here?" the Mage asked.
"Before I say anything, do you recognize this?" Harry wandlessly floated his wand and changed it into the staff.
"Merlin's staff, then you must be Master Weapon Mage Harry Evans! Merlin had indicated you might try to find us when he founded this school," the old Mage said, wide eyed.
"Yes I am, but please call me Harry Potter," Harry said as he looked at the Mage.
"I am Master Weapon Mage Dearborn, I welcome you to our school," Dearborn said as bowed.
"Thank you. Could we have our talk now?" Harry asked.
"Yes, please come in. I'm sorry about your reception," Dearborn apologized.
"It is alright, it was nice workout," Harry said but was glad he wasn't fighting anymore as he lead to the office.
The Master's office was round with bookshelves and in the center was a large desk where Dearborn sat. "Now Harry, what can I do for you?" Dearborn asked.
"The first thing I would like to know is where you stand on Voldemort," Harry asked.
"Actually at this moment we are neutral since our school was supposedly disbanded three hundred years ago," Dearborn said with disgust.
"Was it because your teachings were so hard to learn?" Harry asked as Dearborn shook his head.
"No not really, it was because they felt the wand was much easier to teach than using wandless magic. Of course with the wand it was easier to track underage misuse of magic," Dearborn said, shaking his head at their foolishness.
"Master Dearborn, do you know that fifteen Weapon Mages have joined Voldemort?" Harry asked.
"What? I order the Weapon Mages that leave the school to help the light side, there is no way any of us would join the Dark Side," Dearborn said, looking unsure.
"Well, I know a Weapon Mage Kiara who has joined Voldemort," Harry said and Dearborn slammed his fist onto the desk.
"Kiara! He was expelled for the murder of a student a while back! I should have known he would do something like this," he said angrily as a folder appeared and he opened it. "Yes, about thirteen others left with him, I didn't know where they went."
"Sir, with Voldemort having Weapon Mages the light might lose this war. Kiara seems to be as skilled as I am," Harry said, worried.
"Kiara was skilled in the art of swordplay, but if you challenge him in a magic duel you have a chance," Dearborn suggested. "And with our help you will defiantly succeed."
"Thank you, we will need all the help we can get," Harry said, glad for the help then they made plans for the upcoming battle.
Once Dearborn had selected a group to help the light side Harry asked another question. "Master Dearborn, do you have anyone that might be able to create a Soul Crystal?"
"A Soul Crystal? You mean to capture Voldemort's soul in it, right?" Dearborn asked as Harry nodded. "Hmm, it is not easy to make and you need the right type of crystal or it won't work, but yes, I have an expert that deals with magical gems. Let's see her now." Dearborn lead Harry out of his office and down into the dungeons.
Down in a Dungeon lab, filled with different types gems and crystals, a woman was looking over a book. "Mistress Tiara, could I trouble you for a second?"
Tiara looked at Dearborn. "What can I do for you Master Dearborn?" she asked pleasantly.
"We need a powerful Soul Crystal. Can you make one to capture the sould of Voldemort?" Dearborn asked.
"Hmm, it won't be easy. If it was a normal soul any crystal would do, but his would require a special crystal." Tiara left her desk to check an ancient looking book. "Yes this will do, it's called Crystallinite, a powerful crystal that suppose to grow abundantly in caves, but there is one problem. I don't have one and no one has found a Crystallinite cave for over a thousand years."
"Can I see what it looks like?" Harry asked, looking at the picture of the crystal. "I have been in a large cave filled with this crystal."
"If you can get a twelve by twelve inch crystal, I can make your Soul Crystal, and if you could gather more, I would be very happy," Tiara said, looking hopeful.
"I will do what I can, but I'm not sure if the cave still exists," Harry said, looking unsure.
"Harry, why not go tomorrow? We'll continue our plans for helping the wizarding world."
During the entire day Harry began training with the Weapon Mages students at the school and was quickly learning new things,which Harry knew would help him greatly. As he continue his training he became worried, he had wondered if he could really find the crystal cave again.
