Chapter 31
When Harry landed in the Mages' school he was back in the Great Hall where he surprised the masters that was eating lunch. "Master Harry, next time appear in the hallway so you won't make us lose our lunches," Dearborn scolded as Harry quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, I just thought I'd deliver ten Crystallinites to Mistress Tiara as soon as I arrived," Harry said as he carefully placed the bag on the table in front of a very happy Tiara.
"Thank you Master Harry, I will get your Soul Crystal ready. I also have a surprise for you that will make your staff more powerful," Tiara said and she quickly finished her lunch and left with the crystals. "It should be ready by tomorrow morning!"
"She seemed happy to get the crystals," Harry said as he sat down to eat.
"Mistress Tiara is always happy when she gets something to work with," Dearborn said pleasantly as they continued talking about the plans for the upcoming battle.
Later that afternoon Harry returned to Hogwarts to update Dumbledore and the Order who were waiting in Dumbledore's office. "Harry! Good to see you back! How did it go?" Dumbledore asked.
"It went well. We will have twenty Weapon Mages arrive tomorrow morning," Harry answered.
"Will that be enough?" Moody asked.
"It should be. Only Kiara is a threat and I will handle him. The others under him are not very skilled and the Weapon Mages that are coming are more skilled than them," Harry said with confidence.
"Very well then. I'll prepare for their welcome while you, Harry, must see a very worried girlfriend and an impatient daughter," Dumbledore joked as Harry grinned.
"I'll see to them and meet you at dinner," Harry said then apparated to his room where he was quickly hugged by both Hermione and Shawnee.
Once the three separated Ron greeted Harry. "So mate, how did it go?" Ron asked.
"It went well actually. I got twenty Weapon Mages to come to Hogwarts and something that will stop Voldemort's soul from escaping again," Harry said.
"So this is going to be the final battle with Voldemort," Hermione asked, looking hopeful.
"Yes Hermione, it will be," Harry said, smiling. "Ron can you get Ginny? I have something for you three."
"Harry, you didn't need to get us anything," both Ron and Hermione said.
"Oh, don't worry, I didn't get richer than I am right now. It's something I found and you three are perfect for them, so please get Ginny," Harry said again and Ron nodded then apparated to their common room and quickly returned with Ginny.
Once everyone got themselves settled Harry took out the box with the eggs inside. "DO you guys remember where I found Destiny?" Harry asked and they nodded. "Well I went there again to retrieve crystals and found the cave to be deserted. It seemed at first that Destiny was the last silver phoenix until I found these." Harry opened the box to show his friends its contents.
"Are those phoenix eggs?" Hermione asked, surprised.
"Yes they are. Please take one," Harry said as they each took an egg. The second it was in their hands the three eggs cracked, and opened to reveal three baby phoenixes.
"Wow" the three friends said collectively.
"Just as I thought, they bonded to you. They are yours to keep," Harry said, smiling.
"Harry, are you sure about this?" Hermione asked and Harry nodded.
"They need a new home and I think you three will give them each a good home." Harry conjured three small baskets, each with a warm blanket. "Place them in and they should be fine until they start flying in a couple weeks."
The next morning Harry was nervous. He would be meeting the twenty Weapon Mages Dearborn had picked for their war against the Dark Weapon Mages soon. "Great, Master Dearborn is nuts. He put me in charge of the Weapon Mages!" Harry thought as he pacee about at the entrance to Hogwarts. "There is no way I'm cut out to lead the Weapon Mages!"
Harry was so lost in thought that he didn't hear a large number of pops in the entrance. "Excuse me Sir," a wizard said. Harry quickly looked up to see twenty Weapon Mages in full silver armor all standing at attention. To make things worse, they were all over ten years older than Harry.
"Sorry I didn't hear you," Harry quickly apologized then stood in front of them. "As you all know I am Master Weapon Mage Harry Potter, but please just call me Harry. Hogwarts will be your new home until the war with the Dark Mages is over. Please follow me. I will have you meet the Order of the Phoenix. We will be working together."
Harry lead the twenty Weapon Mages into the Great Hall where the meeting would be taking place and stopped in front of Dumbledore. "Professor Dumbledore, these are the Weapon Mages that will be helping us," Harry said as he stepped aside.
"Thank you all for your help," Dumbledore said as the Mages nodded.
"Professor, no thanks are needed. What that traitor Kiara has done could destroy everything the Weapon Mages stand for," the eldest Mage said.
"My name is Charlie," Charlie said, coming up and lifting his hand.
"I am Weapon Mage Tibias, second in charge next to Master Harry," Tibias said, taking Charlie's hand and a giving it a warm shake. The others came up to introduce themselves and once pleasantries were over everyone sat down to talk.
Talk between the Weapon Mages and the Order members was pleasant and they both found it easy to make their plans against Voldemort and the Dark Mages.
An hour into the meeting the Hall's doors were slammed open and Minister Fudge came in along with over thirty Aurors. "Professor Dumbledore you are all under arrest for conspiring against the Ministry!" Fudge said loudly. Harry apparated in front of Fudge.
"Minister Fudge, you are gravely mistaken! We are here to stop Voldemort," Harry said.
"Stop him? How, by working with those killers? I've got documents of the Weapon Mages' dark activities," Fudge said, holding up a folder.
"Is that so? Then I have proof of your corrupt dealings and working with known Death Eaters," Harry said, a stack of folders appearing in his hands.
"But how? You must have stolen them?" Fudge said as he recognized a number of the folders.
"Believe me, I did not step in your office. And thanks for showing me where they were." Harry turned around as Fudge reached for his wand but was frozen as well all the Aurors.
"Here is all the proof you need to put Fudge away," Harry said to Dumbledore. "But if it is not enough I can get more." More folders and papers appeared in front of Dumbledore.
"Harry, how did you get these?" Dumbledore asked, surprise at all the things he and Moody were reading.
"A simple scan of his memories. All I need to do was apparate all these here," Harry said and Dumbledore nodded.
"Moody, do you think this is enough to send Fudge to Azkaban?" Dumbledore asked Moody.
"More than enough," Moody said then stood up and walked up to Harry. "Unfreeze the Aurors, we can trust them." Harry complied.
Once the Weapon Mages got themselves settled Harry used the transport spell to return to the Weapon Mages school to see Dearborn for an update and meet up with Tiara for the Soul Crystal.
Harry landed in the hallway near Dearborn's office where he was quickly called in. "Master Harry, I assume everything went well?" Dearborn asked pleasantly.
"Actually yes it did. Thanks to Minister Fudge's foolishness he got himself fired from the Ministry," Harry informed as he sat down.
"Well I hope they get a more competent Minister now," Dearborn said as Harry grinned.
"Not to worry, Dumbledore will make certain of that. He's pressing that Arthur Weasley be the next Minister and acknowledge the Weapon Mages school as a place of learning," Harry said.
"Thank you Master Harry, this will help the school get more students and give us the publicity we need to keep running," Dearborn said happily.
"Yes it will. I should see about Mistress Tiara, she should be finished with the Soul Crystal, excuse me," Harry said.
"I will go with you to see her latest work," Dearborn said as he got up and left with Harry.
Down in the Dungeon Tiara was waiting. "Master Harry, I thought you be here by this morning," she said, almost scoldingly.
"Sorry, I had to deal with the Weapon Mages Master Dearborn sent to help us and it took all day," Harry quickly said as he wonder what upset Tiara.
"Don't mind Mistress Tiara. She always like to show off her talent, the sooner the better," Dearborn informed as Tiara pouted.
"Mistress Tiara, like I said, I'm sorry. Can I see the Soul Crystal please?" Harry said. Tiara had the crystal under a cloth and when she removed it it was a sight to behold.
"Wow" both Harry and Dearborn said as they eyed the beautiful round crystal about a six inches in diameter, filled with many colors.
"Mistress Tiara, you out did yourself. This has got to be the best work you've ever done," Dearborn said as he looked the crystal over.
"Thank you Mistress Tiara, this will help end Voldemort's reign," Harry said as he place the Soul Crystal in a box.
Once the Soul Crystal was put away Tiara turned to Harry. "Can I see Merlin's staff please?" Tiara asked hopefully.
"Alright, here it is," Harry said as his wand turned into a staff.
"Hmm, yes, I think it can be done!" Tiara said as she looked it over the six foot smooth silver staff with a knot at the top. Tiara took out a crystal phoenix in flight from her pocket and place it into the hole where it fit perfectly. "There, now your staff is complete."
The staff glowed with power. "What did you do? The staff feels alive," Harry said. He could feel power emitting from the staff.
"The staff now can store your magic Master Harry so you won't need to put a lot of magic into your spells and it will be the same when it is a wand," Tiara said and Harry nodded.
"Thanks, this will help greatly. If there anyway I can repay you," Harry started but Tiara cut him off.
"No, all your payment was fulfilled when you gave me those crystals. Make good use of that staff, alright?" Tiara said.
"I will, and thanks," Harry said as he looked the staff over.
Once the staff was again a wand Harry turned to Dearborn. "I should be going, my daughter does not like me being gone at night," Harry said.
"Daughter? You have a daughter?" Dearborn asked.
"Yes, from my past self. She was poisoned when she was four and Merlin used a spell to keep Shawnee alive so I could save her," Harry said.
"Yes, now I remember from the records. I'm glad to hear she is alright. Can I meet her?" Dearborn asked.
"Alright. Next weekend, I have a good deal of homework I need to do tonight for the classes I missed for the last two days," Harry said.
"Then next weekend it shall be, we all will be waiting," Dearborn said as Harry thanked them again and used the transport spell to head back to Hogwarts.
