Harry Potter and The Guardians of Light
By : LordGryffindor
Chapter 1 - Forgotten Secrets Revealed
It was the week after school finished. It was midnight. Harry was up writing to his friends. This summer was different than others. Since Moody talked with the Dursleys they had been acting as though he hadn't lived there.
Since he had come he had written letters to the Order and to some shops. Sirius's death was a different matter. He was really sad and at the same time mad. He saw nightmares of Cedric, his parents and Sirius. They had cornered him. Saying something. Stepping closer their voice would become louder. "Why couldn't you save us? Haven't we been good to you when you were a baby? This is entirely your fault!" said Lily. Harry woke up screaming "Nooo".
He hadn't slept well since Sirius died. Every time he slept he would wake up in a cold sweat and would shake madly.
It had been Voldemort. It was always Voldemort. His parent died because of him, Cedric died because of him, Sirius died because of him, innocent people died because of him. It was enough. He didn't want anyone dying trying to save him or being friends with him. In the end it was either him or Voldemort. He had to defeat him. But he had to do it without anyone dying without anyone trying to save, protect or help him.
That was the reason he had started to train himself. He figured out a way to do magic without getting caught by the Ministry of Magic. He had written to a shop in Diagon Alley. He had ordered a sorcerer's trunk. He had gotten the idea from the fake Moody. The trunk was worth a fortune.
When he came back from Hogwarts he had a lot of time to think. He had a good reason for buying the trunk besides putting his stuff in there. The reason he got it was that he could do magic inside the chamber without being caught.
He received the trunk a week later after he ordered it. It was a great trunk. It had two chambers and five compartments. He would use the first chamber for training. The second for resting, reading and potion brewing.
This summer, if there was anything worth living in Privet Drive, it was his training. The second reason was after Sirius's death he didn't want to cause anymore deaths because of him. So it was safe for everyone (besides the Dursleys) that he was staying in Privet Drive. He didn't want anyone trying to save him anymore. He couldn't risk anymore lives. If there was someone that was going to defend him it would be himself.
He had written to Mundungus about some stuff that was probably illegal and hard to find. He had gotten 6 "imago-balls". Those were balls that the aurors used for training. The aurors weren't supposed to use the "imago- balls" until their last year of training. These balls worked the same as the muggle projectors. They take a shape of a dark wizard and start hexing and cursing.
The aurors use two "imago-balls". The best of them use as many as three. In his training Harry used four. There were times that after training he was in so much pain he couldn't get up for hours. But that wasn't until he had beaten them all. He eventually never lost. He was getting stronger after every training. Not only by magic but physically too.
After his training he went in to the second chamber within the trunk. The first and the second chamber were connected by a door. He used the door and went into the second chamber. He went next to his cauldron, which he brewed potions to heal the wounds and cuts.
With a sigh he pulled out a glass, poured the potion into the glass and drank it. In a second he felt the potions effect.
This chamber was the first and favorite room he ever had. He had a desk, a table with chairs, a big bed, a cupboard and a great big cage for Hedwig. In the center of the room he had the table with the chairs. Across by the wall he had his desk and his bed. On the other side he had his cauldron and a cupboard for potion ingredients.
He sat in front of his desk and started writing letters to his friends. He was going to write one to Hermione and Ron. Hermione was visiting the Burrow at the moment. They had sent him a letter saying that Dumbledore had approved him to come over. But he had declined it. He didn't want the rest of the Weasley family in danger.
Dear Ron and Hermione,
Thanks but no thanks. I won't be coming over to the Burrow. Don't ask why. I am writing this letter to you both.
First of all I would like to tell you both and Ginny how proud I am. You both were great last month at the Ministry. I would like to write more but I am too tired to keep writing. I have been studying a lot. Yes Hermione, I know your shocked (Hahaha). I will try to write to you more often.
Forever friends, Harry
Now that he was finished he came out of his trunk to find Hedwig fast a sleep. Once he got closer Hedwig woke up. Seeing Harry she gave a hoot. "Hi Hedwig. Would you please give this to Ron. I know it writes Ron and Hermione on the front but it's for both of them. So it doesn't matter who you give it to. They are at the Burrow give it to Ron he'll know." With a small peck Hedwig flew out the window in to the cloudless night. In a second she was out of sight.
With that off the hook he went over to the bed. He was really tired. As soon as he put his head on the pillow he fell a sleep.
The next day he woke up after a nightmare as usual. "These nightmares never stop. I'll go mad if this keeps up" he said getting out of the bed. Just as he opened his window for fresh air Hedwig came flying in with a letter. With a sigh he took the letter and thanked Hedwig.
He checked the mail to see who it was from. He thought it was another letter from Ron. He had gotten a lot of letters from Ron and Hermione. They were asking if he was alright and this was getting him irritated so he stopped reading their letters. He was wondering if he should read this one. "Hmm, if I don't reply to them more often they'll think I'm dying or something. Better read it and get it over with".
With another sigh he opened it. He was surprised once he opened it. He thought that it was from Ron or Hermione but it was from Ginny. "This should be interesting".
Hi Harry,
How is your summer coming along? Ron, Hermione and I are all concerned about you. They said that you weren't replying to any of their letters. Are you even reading them? I'm really sorry for what happened last month. It wasn't your fault. Please reply. Are you not talking to us for some reason? I'm sorry the letter is short but it's very late and I'm really tired. Please write back.
Love, Ginny
He read it again. The "Love Ginny" part came strange. "I'll think about that later. I got to take my shower". He walked to the door and went into the bathroom. After he took his shower he came back to his room to find another owl with a parcel. "I wonder who this is from". He read the front of the parcel and saw that it was from Mundungus.
Hi Harry,
I found one of the books you wanted. It cost me a fortune. I hope you know what you're doing. Anyway, the Order has a close eye on you. Thanks for the advance money you gave. It was a pleasure working for you. If you need anything you know the man.
Mundungus
He laughed at first. Mundungus always made him laugh when he wrote a letter. He was excited that he found the book he wanted. He had to thank Mundungus. He had gotten the name of the book from a Defense book he had. He almost forgot Ginny's letter. He would write those letters now. So he moved over to his desk took out some parchment and his quill. He would first write to Ginny.
Hi Ginny,
Its better then the ones before. After the talk they had with the Order, the Dursleys are pretending as though I don't exist. I don't read most of their letters. I don't have time for their concerns. The reason I read this letter and replied is I found it was interesting that it was from you. The reason I'm writing is that I am proud of you all. It was very brave of you to fight Death Eaters last month at the Ministry. But it was all my fault that Sirius died and it isn't going to happen again.
Love, Harry
With a sigh he checked the letter to see if he was rude. "Who cares...I've got stuff to do". With that he got up gave the letter to Hedwig and she was off with a hoot. Now it was time for Mundungus's letter.
Hi Mundungus,
Thanks a billion. Yeah I know my man. I realized after the Ministry battle they would keep a close eye on me. Look I need you to get me body armor and some black cloaks, shirts and boots. Take as much as you need from my vault. I'll send you a date. We will meet with you in Diagon Alley I will get the stuff there. See you soon my friend.
Harry
He got up and went over to Hedwig's cage. The owl Mundungus sent was still there. "Are you up to another delivery?" The owl gave a peck meaning she was. Harry tied the letter to her leg and she flew out the window.
It was time for his training. He had to admit that he was getting better by the day. He went over to his desk in the second chamber of his trunk. He opened the parcel that contained the book he wanted from Mundungus. The book was an ancient book that belonged to the old light warriors. They were the Guardians of Light.
He took of the paper that surrounded the book. The second he touched the book, he got a ticklish feeling. The book glowed for three seconds then stopped. He looked at the book and shrugged. He opened the book. The front page was blank. Then suddenly words started to form.
We are the Guardians of Light. It has been two thousand years since the last Guardian was chosen. Now it is time for another. The forces of the dark surround us on all sides. We protect what is good. We defend against evil. You are the next Guardian of Light. The book contains our thoughts. We choose the one who is capable. You have a pure heart. You are brave... You have faced evil more then once. Now it is time... Yet again evil walks on the surface of the earth. In this book we have our thoughts, spells and secrets used against evil. Learn our brother. We trust you like every other Guardians we trusted. You are the hope for good and truth. Use the book of ancient warriors. The warriors of Light. You are one of us now brother. You shall understand the power we believe in...
Harry sat there in silence for nearly for two hours. He was a Guardian of the Light. This was a shock to him. But he now understood. He was going to defend against evil. Against Voldermort.
Then the words of the prophecy came to his mind "He will have the power the Dark Lord knows not". This explains it.
He turned to the next page to see seven names. At the very bottom was his name.

The other names were the Guardians before him. He started looking at the names. Every name had a part in the book where their thoughts, spells and secrets were written. On the very top of the page words were written.
We are brothers. The blood we share runs thru our veins.
So they were all heirs of the first Guardians. I am a heir. That means my heirs will become Guardians when evil yet again rises.'
He looked at the names before him. When he read the name just before him he almost fell of the chair.
Godric Gryffindor defeater of the Dark Lord Salazar Slytherin
'So I am the heir of Gryffindor', "Bloody hell..." he said while sitting in the chair. Then the words Dumbledore said in his second year came to his mind "Only a true Gryffindor could have taken the sword out of the hat". That explains everything...
He started reading every Guardians thoughts, spells and secrets. It was going to take him a lot of time to read them all. 'These spells look really complicated. I better start training with them'. He read until it was past midnight. He had tried some of the spells that the first Guardian "Thesaus Onight" used. They were the hardest spells he had ever used. He would get better every time he used it. He was really tired. Everything that happened today came as a shock. But for the first time he felt good.
