AND NOW:
Chapter 6
The three representatives of God stood around Planet Xera's angel. Each of them thinking of something different. And yet, their thoughts were connected for they were all thinking of the ethereal being in front of them.
Lily was remembering a long time ago, when in her second year, she had encountered a boy who looked just like the one standing in front of her. Amos Diggory, Cedric's father. And now, Amos's son was dead at the hands of Voldemort...and he was an angel. A messenger of the force.
Sirius was thinking about Harry. His godsons ordeal at the graveyard had greatly disturbed Sirius, and now as he looked at Cedric, he found himself thinking about Harry's experiences at the graveyard and how Cedric had died.
James was remebering a scene that had happened not too long ago. He had seen Cedric before and he had known he was dead. He had been looking through the screen and he had witnessed it. He had seen the shadows that Harry's wand had forced out of Voldemorts wand. There had been an old man, Bertha, Lily and Himslef and Cedric. It was strange to see Cedric standing there as an angel.
Cedric floated down from the height at which he was and approaced the trio. "They look so human..." he thought to himself. He knew what it was like to be human. What it was like to have blood flowing through his veins, what it was like to feel cold and warm, his senses and wizard powers. It had been wonderful to be alive. But now he was an Angel, a messenger of the All Mighty. Angels didnt have the right to remorse. His duty was to help with the functioning of the wizarding world on earth. He, as Angel 41, was there only for one reason - to fulfill his obligation to the Great Force.
"I know why you are here" he said to the three bewildered guests. "And it is vital that we focus on the current task, for it is a difficult one and will need a lot of work."
"Uh...Angel 41?" said Lily "How do we get Lucifer to negotiate with us? He..."
"Do not speak of The Devil in the sacred Chamber of Xera" Angel 41 thundered. He seemed to grow twice his size, his glow illuminating the entire room.
"We will discuss this without bringing evil into our mouths. Our main concern here is Harry Potter. He shall not be snatched away from the good side." Cedric continued.
"But how do we ensure that?" Lily asked, undaunted by Cedric's power.
"There will be no fighting or negotiations. Harry will be let into Heaven"
"But Voldemort..."started Sirius
"Do not speak of evil!" said Cedric once again
"But we need to," said James "Evil is upon us. The devil has a plot and we most not let him get away with his plans. It is all very well to talk about good, but what use is it to us?"
"Silence, Human. Do not talk to an Angel in that tone of voice."
"Angel or not. We know you as Amos Diggory's son. Your father must have been devastated when he lost you. We dont want to lose our son to the dark side." said Lily in a calm voice.
Cedric, the new Angel 41, stood in silence as he regarded the three wizards in front of him. He may not remember everything that happened in his time on earth, but he did remember that he had felt strongly about certain things as a human, and he knew that the three wizards were concerned about the safe keeping of someone they loved.
"Very well." said Cedric "We shall venture out into the Garden of Xera. We can talk freely there."
Lily, Sirius and James followed Cedric through a door at the very end of the room. Beyond the door, there lay a long hallway with doors at either side, much like the one they had walked down on their way to the angels chambers.
The hallway was never ending. It felt like they were walking down the hallway of eternity.
"And there's supposed to be a garden at the end of this?" Sirius thought to himself
Finally, after what seemed like an abnormally long amount of time, Cedric stopped at a door at the near end of the hallway. He pushed it open and stepped through it. The newly transformed heaven-ites (it's a word!) follwed him...and saw the most magnificent garden ever.
The Garden of Xera was huge. It probably went on for acres and acres, miles and miles. It was covered with the most beautiful types of flowers in all colours. Even the shades of green around them were different. Butterfly's fluttered around their heads and they could hear the sweet singing of birds around them.
"Wow" said Lily "This place is beautiful"
"It is the sacred garden" said Cedric "It is not ethical to speak of evil here, either. But i shall tell the birds to sing loudly. Their melody's can wipe out the talk of evil after it is done."
"Right" said Sirius "Can we formulate a plan now?"
"Yes" said Cedric "I think the best option would be a protection and prevention power. A power that Lucifer cannot control. The power will prevent Harry from going to Hell and will protect Heaven from Voldemorts arrival.
"This power" said Sirius. "What if it doesnt work?"
"There are ways to test it, Mr Black" said Cedric "We will not do anything without a test."
"Well," said James, who thought the whole plan sounded very vague. "We do need a back-up plan as well"
"A back-up plan? God has not failed us yet! He's not about to start now."
"Well, it would be better if we..." James started
"Silence" said Cedric. "I will not have any arguements in the Sacred Garden. We have discussed what we needed to. Now you must go back. I will discuss the preparations for the power with the Lord. I will show you to the exit."
With that, Cedric led the trio back into the hallway and opened a door which led to the bleak outdoors of the planet.
"I will conjure up the mist of dimension for you. Good day and good luck to you" said the angel as he conjured up the mystical mist and the three recently transformed humans stepped into the mist.
"Heaven : Wizards Division" said Lily.
And with that, they were back in God's office.
