Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
By: Krystal Lily Potter
Chapter Thirty One: The Prince of the Half Bloods
Rating: PG-13 (more on the AA side)
Couples: HP/HG, PP/SF, LL/NL, DT/GW, LB/RW
Summary: As Harry and his friends enter their sixth year at Hogwarts they don't enter the cheerful world they left behind. They enter a world covered in a thick blanket of fear. It only hits Harry how important he really is when people start seeing him as the light that allows them to see under this blanket. Along with his friend he must battle the horrors of the past, present, and possible the future to begin the end of the war, hopefully before it hits Hogwarts. What happens when people start disappearing from under Dumbledore's protection, and one of the famous 'trio' disappears? It's up to the last two, plus some more friends, to find a way to save all the people that disappeared because they can't fight this war on their own...
Warning: Dark themes will be mentioned a lot and if worst comes to worst I'll rate this R because of that. There's swearing, mentions of suicide, murder, rape, gore/bloody scenes, and other dark things like that...honestly though it's not as dark as I make it sound...
Note: Yes I am making a sequel, just so you all know and also there are 3 chapters in this story so it's almost finished! Most of you will be able to guess how much more is left after the end of this chapter.
Important: Many of you thought that the time turner was to make two copies of them running around but it wasn't. If you think back to the third book at the end there was only one Harry and Hermione at the end so there's only one of them now. It's confusing yes but they only used the Time Turner to get away but that doesn't mean it won't be used again...
Achilles: They will be talking about this war for a thousand years
Hector: In a thousand years even the dust from our bones will be gone
Achilles: Yes prince, but our names will remain
-Prince Hector & Achilles, Troy
Lavender collapsed to the ground panting. Her face was red and there were beads of sweat on her hair line. "I don't know how much more running I can take."
"Come on Lav, just keep going," Seamus said.
Dean ran over to her, squatted beside her and said, "Get on, hurry."
She got an appreciative look on her face and climbed on Deans back. He stood up and walked over to where Harry was while supporting here. "Know a way out yet?"
"Not a clue," he replied. Suddenly he heard the voices of the senior Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle.
"This is ridiculous, they can't have gone that far," Malfoy was saying. "Goyle you are a menace. I'm surprised the Dark Lord let you live after you let them escape!"
Goyle stuttered something then stopped and said, "Do you hear breathing?"
The four of them held their breath and backed up into the shadows as far as they could, praying none of these three idiots would find them.
Suddenly there was a series of bangs and the three death eaters fell to the ground, unconscious.
Harry had heard the voice that said 'stupefy' three times and admitted, that was a pretty good shot for someone his age.
"Mark?" he whispered and his cousin came out of the shadows in front of him.
"Hiya Harry."
"What are you doing here?" he whispered angrily, yanking him into the shadows.
"I came with Nicola, Ron, Ginny, Neville, Luna and Hermione," he whispered.
"Hermione's here?" Harry asked in a panicked voice, his eyes widening.
"Yeah, she told Nikky and I to lead all the captives we got out back to Hogwarts and to get Dumbledore but I heard you here so I told her to keep going," Mark said.
"You had to get my saving people's thing didn't you?" Harry groaned.
"Yup," he said. "You should be thankful, they would have caught you!"
"He's right you know," Lavender said from her place on Dean's back.
Suddenly there was a crashing and a door to their left flew open. Evelyn came through. She looked at Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle on the floor then at the five people in front of her.
"I FOUND THEM!" she yelled.
Harry frantically searched his pockets only to remember, in vain, that the only thing he had on him right now was his Time Turner but he couldn't risk either of them seeing it.
Lavender jumped down from Dean's back and said, "Like hell you have." She punched Evelyn in the face with every amount of strength she possessed. Less then a second before Evelyn hit the floor she kicked her in the stomach, knocking her unconscious.
"Bloody hell," all the boys said together. They then heard footsteps drawing nearer.
"Come on," Harry said and they all took off down the corridor again.
Nicola shielded her eyes as they reached Hogsmead. Compared to the gloomy atmosphere in the blood castle and in the cave outside around Hogwarts was perfectly cheerful. There had been no wolves or snakes in the cave this time around although she had no clue why.
"Come on!" she yelled and started running back to Hogwarts, the large group of people followed her closely, all a little jumpy about what they had been through.
When they reached the Hogwarts grounds Nicola saw Hagrid in the distance, supervising one of his exams and yelled, "HAGRID!"
The half giant looked over and his small eyes widened with shock. "Wha's goin' on Nikky?"
"The captives! We know where they are," she panted out.
Hagrid's eyes widened and he said, "The password to Dumbledore's office is...Voldemort. Go up and tell him. The rest of you head up to the hospital wing."
Everyone nodded and headed into the castle.
Ron's face scrunched up with disgust as a wave of a terrible spell swept upon them. Beside him Hermione had a hang over her mouth and nose trying to keep the terrible smell out but it was all in vain. Behind them Neville's eyes were watering, Ginny was trying not to sneeze or cough and even Luna was aware of the smell as she fanned the area in front of her face.
"What is that?" Ginny asked after a moment. Her face had turned slightly red from trying to keep all her breath in.
"It smells like...well I'm not really sure but it smells like something rotting," Hermione said, "And I'm not sure I want to know what it is."
"No, probably not," Ron agreed.
"What are you doing here?" someone said from behind them and they turned and saw a Death Eater standing there. Just before the person attempted to curse them Ginny and Luna both tackled the person into a wall. Ginny covered the person's mouth with her hands and Luna grabbed his wand away.
"Where are the rest of the captive?" Neville asked slowly.
"They all got away and now I know why," the person muttered as best as he could while being smothered.
Suddenly there was an explosion from somewhere down in the halls and the walls started dripping more blood.
"I don't like this," Hermione said.
"Neither do I," Ron agreed.
The pinned Death Eater took his chance and yelled, "POTTER'S FRIENDS ARE DOWN CORRIDOR C!"
They never even got a chance to run before several secret doors around them burst open and about 12 Death Eaters came into the room.
"Alright now this is getting stupid," Seamus growled as he opened up yet another door that let to...a brick wall.
"No it's not, it's really smart," Mark insisted. "It's a good way to trick your enemies when you're trying to get away."
"Yeah and we're proof of that," Seamus muttered.
"That's true Mark but I agree with Seamus on this one," Harry said angrily as he checked the stone wall just in case there was a secret passage behind it but found nothing but solid stone. He then continued walking on down the hallway towards the next door.
"This place is huge! We haven't been walking in circles because I haven't seen anything familiar yet either," Lavender noted, sounding highly intelligent which wasn't very...her.
"It keeps getting darker," Dean said. "It must be getting closer to night. I think at least."
"It was morning when we came," Mark informed them. "Hermione freaked out about Neville and Ron even asking about the exams. She didn't care about them at all."
"You're kidding right?" Lavender asked.
"No," he insisted.
Suddenly Harry shushed them as he pressed his head against a door not ever far from where they had been.
He muttered something under his breath then turned the knob. This time there was no brick wall but a long dark hallway.
"I guess this is just a good a way as any," he said after a moment of hesitation.
Suddenly they all heard a distant, yet clear, echoing yell of, "POTTER'S FRIENDS ARE DOWN CORRIDOR C!"
"Hermione...Ron..." Harry muttered quickly and started running down the corridor, not caring about who he might run into.
"STOP!" Lavender started to yell but Seamus and Dean covered her mouth with their hands.
Something had been lurking in the shadows of the wide hall. Harry had heard Lavender's yell though and turned around. His eyes grew wide as a shadow wolf crouched in the corner. He backed up some, knowing there wasn't a way in hell he could stop one of these from hurting him without magic. After backing up so much his back touched the wall, but he didn't stop there. Instead, like in many horror movies, one stone under his elbow sunk into the wall and the floor he was standing on as well as the wall spun in a circle so he was in an entirely different room.
This room wasn't just a stupid dull room that would have been a waist of his time. No in fact this room was the opposite. It was full to the brim with wands.
He looked quickly around only to realize that his search would have been in vain, there was no way in hell he'd be able to tell his wand from everyone else's. Mr. Ollivander might have been able to but not him.
He thought of summoning his wand but then he remembered that he'd need his wand to do that in the first place. Closing his eyes tightly he muttered, "Come on magic don't let me down again...I need to find my wand...Accio."
Suddenly he heard a sound and his eyes snapped open. Some of the wands rolled off the pile as one shot out into his hands. He knew its dark surface anywhere. Plus the initials HP on the bottom were a dead give away.
"Accio," he said against, concentrating on Lavender, Seamus and Dean's wands. They too flew into his hands.
"Alright," he muttered and took a deep breath. He looked around for something else, finding an old burlap sack in the corner.
"Inrata Extendio," he muttered and waved his wand. It didn't appear to do anything to it at first but when he started piling all the wands inside it was obvious that he had made the inside of it bigger while the outside stayed the same.
After managing to pile all wands in it without breaking them he shrunk the sack then stuffed it in his pocket. Heading back to the wall he managed to find the stone that would take him back and the wall flipped around again.
Harry got out just in time to see the creature about to pounce on an injured Dean, who had attempted to try and protect his friends.
"Elementum Bestia Exitium!" he yelled and the magic shot at the shadow wolf, destroying it.
"Wha—you found your wand!" Dean said and pushed himself off the ground.
"I found everyone's," he said and held out his friends wands. Each grabbed their own, feeling a lot safe now then they had before.
"Lavender I want you to take this tiny pouch, inside of it is everyone's wands. Keep it inside your pocket or something. If I keep it I'll probably end up breaking it," he said and passed the mini sack to her.
She nodded and stuffed it gently into her pocket then said, "Now what?"
"We find out where that voice came from," he said. The area they were in had been devoid of any bloody walls, until now that is. The walls suddenly started oozing the thick red liquid.
"That can't be good," Mark muttered.
"No, probably not," Seamus agreed. They all started running down the corridor when Harry noticed a little sign on the wall. It said Corridor D.
"Have you ever heard the expression 'all roads lead to Rome'?" he asked after a minute.
"Yes," everyone replied.
"Well I think all these corridors lead to the same place. Remember we saw some going one way and some going another? I think we must have turned somewhere by accident and this one's leading us back to the center."
He expected them to be horrified at that statement but they proved to be true Gryffindors. No one winced, paled or said anything to show they were scared.
"Lets go," Dean said confidently.
Smiling slightly Harry continued leading the way down the hall.
"Students," Dumbledore's voice echoed around the Great Hall. "I would like to be the first to tell you the grand news that majority of the captives have returned back to Hogwarts."
A bunch of people whooped and cheered.
"There are still some students missing though," he noted gravely. "Four are captives and six are students that went after them. I don't believe a genius is needed to solve who they are."
Parvati leaned against the table more. She was sitting back to back with Nicola. She knew all the other sixth year Gryffindors plus Mark and Luna were still back there. She had known they were leaving and didn't go with them for a purpose. She had wanted to go but had agreed that someone needed to stay behind to keep them informed about what was doing on.
She clasped onto her ULD pendent and looked at the writing on the back and saw the words 'Help' written on it. While everyone was talking she jumped up and hurried to the head table.
"Sir, they need help, now," Parvati said sternly. "Don't ask how I know but they need it."
Dumbledore nodded then said in almost a whisper to something invisible standing behind him, "Remus, Tonks, get some Order members together. It's time to go after them."
All that was heard was the light footsteps of two people, although many people were a little surprised when the doors suddenly opened without any known person touching them and then closing again.
Once in the main hall they took the invisibility charms off themselves and Remus said, "Who do you think we should get?"
"Moody, Kingsley, Podmore, and those other good fighters and Siri—never mind," she said sadly.
"Sirius will be there helping us fight," Remus said after a moment. "I've known him since I was 11-years-old and he'd never pass up a fight, especially when his godson's in danger. He might not physically be there but I know now that his spirit will be."
"Praise that," Tonks said and followed him down the hall. "But we're going to need someone to show us the way."
"I think I know the right people to do it," he said simply.
"Are you sure Potter will come Clara? We cannot have any mistakes," Malfoy growled as he nursed a broken nose.
"I can assure you he'll show up Lucius," Evelyn replied coldly. "Unlike you I've studied them for nearly a year, enough time to know who they are. Besides do you honestly think Potter wouldn't show up for his friends?"
Lucius was about to reply when a voice that could chill the bone said, "Clara is correct. Potter will show up for his friends."
"Master," everyone in the room said and bowed as Voldemort walked into the room followed by another figure.
Voldemort turned to a circular cell in the middle of the room and said, "Friends of the 'almighty' (Many Death Eaters laughed hysterically at that) Harry Potter, I'd like you to meet the beginning of your friend's death. I introduce to all of you in this room, the Half Blood Prince."
Vulcan took his hood down and for a split second people around the room thought it might have been Harry but as he stepped out of the shadows it was obvious it wasn't. Although the hair was very similar (a little bit different) and in the dark he looked like him in the light he looked like a monster of some sort.
His eyes were a pale blue like they had always been except they looked like the eyes of a dead manand his figure was different then it was when he was simply a spirit. His skin was more of a greyish color, his limbs seemed to hang loosely at his sides, unlike Potter's who seem to always be tense, on one side of his face there was a large red mark that looked like he had been burnt badly and on his hands were two holes. Anyone who knew the story about the Half Blood Prince could tell that was where his hands had been nailed to the cross like Jesus Christ and many Romans (ex: during the end of Spartacus).
Ginny let out a small whimper at the sight of him but it wasn't heard and she grabbed onto Ron's arm. Luna shivered slightly and shifted closer to Neville. Hermione on the other hand stood up and glared at him.
This interested Vulcan greatly and he strode over to her. When he was about a foot away from the cage he said, "You'd be Potter's girlfriend, yes?"
She said nothing but the look on her face told him that she was.
"My descendent will show up," Vulcan said to everyone. "Then, with Master's signal, we shall strike."
That's when it hit Hermione like a ton of bricks; Vulcan had over looked on thing in planning his ritual. When he returned to the land of the living he would not be fully alive nor would he be under his own command now. He was simply a pawn of Voldemort's.
"All my have bloods have escaped Master," Vulcan said to Voldemort.
"Not all of them," Voldemort replied simply, "I am aware that Potter and his three other half blood friends are still here in the castle somewhere."
Neither the Dark Lord nor the Half Blood Prince were aware that at that very moment, had they have looked up, they would have seen Harry Potter, Dean Thomas, Lavender Brown, Seamus Finnigan and Mark Evans looking down on them all.
"We have to get down there," Harry muttered, "Preferably in a way that'll shock them enough to give us some time to not only get the others out but to attack."
"We could always get on that big hanging chandelier over there," Mark suggested, "like they do in the movies."
Everyone looked over at the large hanging object and Seamus said, "That might work."
"As long as we put cushioning charms on the inside of it it'll work alright," Harry said. "Alright when we fall, Mark you get them out using the Alohomora spell you learned early this year. Lavender, Seamus, Dean, starting firing as many curses at as many Death Eaters as you can."
"What are you going to do?" Lavender asked.
"I'm going to distract Voldemort and Vulcan. It'll be tuff but I'm going to try and get Vulcan out of the way first," he explained.
"Damn straight it's going to be tuff," another voice from behind them said. All of them turned and saw Gemma Evans's transparent image floating a little ways behind him. "It's going to be almost downright impossible you know."
"Well there must be a way to do it," Lavender said.
"If there's a way for not someone to survive the killing curse," she said slowly, "there's away to defeat Vulcan Potter. Harry, you do know that he can't kill you so that's always an advantage to you. Voldemort doesn't even know this. Don't take him lightly though."
"I don't plan on it," Harry replied. "But do you have any clue how to get rid of him?"
She frowned and said, "I do Harry but this is one of those things that I'm forbidden to help you with."
"The forbidden forest is forbidden," Mark said suddenly. "That doesn't stop people from going into it."
"This is true," Gemma replied. "But not in my instance. There's a powerful magic that is allowing me to be here right now. If I tell you I won't be allowed to come back to help you anymore. Well actually I'll be allowed to come back to give you one warning whenever I choose but that's it."
"Do you really want to keep coming back Gem? I can see it, you miss life and it hurts you to be here a lot of the time," Harry said to her.
They could see a single silver tear roll down her cheek and vanish into the air as she said, "No I don't really want to be here but I have to be, you need someone to help you Harry."
"I do have people to help me," Harry said slowly. "I've got four right here with me now and there's five more down there, plus more at school. I only have the Dursleys for physically related people left along with Mark and his dad and that's it...but you know all my friends and everyone else I love makes up for that. Go back to where you want to be Gemma. Go back with mom and dad."
Gemma could see that it was a little painful for him to say but his words were sincere. A smile appeared on her face and she said, "Alright. This is how you're going to have to do it..."
"Why hasn't Potter shown up yet?" Bellatrix asked crossly.
"Harry Potter might be a lot of things," Vulcan said from his position by the cage, "but one thing I can tell you he isn't is stupid. A little dense at times but not stupid and I don't mean with school work. There are many ways to be smart and stupid."
"You're only saying that because he's your descendent," she snapped.
"I am saying it because it's true," Vulcan replied coldly. "Never underestimate your opponents Lestrange. It might just be the end of you."
Voldemort said nothing but took that sentence into mind. He underestimated Harry Potter many times and had always come out on the lower end but not alone. He took lives with him. But still, it was always that boy that stopped him.
There was a sudden sound of snapping metal above them then many Death Eaters scrambled as the huge chandelier from above crashed on the ground. It did kill some in the process and the glass that was on it s
"GO!" he heard a voice he knew all to well. Without anyone knowing what was really happening curses started flying from one end of the room to the other. Voldemort saw the three Half Bloods were shooting them but he failed to notice Mark Evans tiny figure run towards the cage.
"Potter," he said coldly as Harry Potter approached him and Vulcan.
"You should have listened to Vulcan when he told you I wasn't stupid," Harry said.
"Crucio!" Voldemort yelled suddenly.
Harry managed to dodge to the side just a second before the torturing curse crashed into him at full force. He was glad he had too.
"Vulcan, I can handle Potter, stop the others," Voldemort said coolly.
"Yes Master," Vulcan said and moved towards the middle of the fight that had broken out.
Mark manage to get to the cage without being spotted and said, "Alohomora." It opened quickly and they all got out.
"Where are our wands?" Ron asked.
"I think they're right there," Mark said pointing to the other side of the room. In a quick effort they all ran over the glass that was spewed all over the floor and grabbed their own wands.
"Lavender," Ron muttered then ran over to her. Bellatrix had been sneaking up behind her and was about to curse her when he yelled, "Stupefy!" Lestrange looked over and dodged it but because she threw herself onto the floor she cut her hands on the glass.
Lavender shot around and yelled, "Ron!"
Bellatrix started throwing curses at them again and it took both of them to fight her but they were standing.
"Furnunculus!" Ginny yelled and one Death Eater's face and hands were covered by great, throbbing boils. The person dropped his wand with shock.
"Obliviate," someone said and the spell shot at Neville.
"Progeto," he said and it crashed into his shield and then back into the caster.
"Waddiwashi," Hermione yelled and a lot of glass shot at a few Death Eaters that had been approaching Mark without him seeing. The glass didn't kill them but it did make most of them drop their wands and all of them were pinned to the wall.
"Incendio," someone else yelled and the fire/lightning curse shot past Hermione and she spun around just in time to see a Death Eater fall to the ground in pain. The Death Eaters hood fell off and she realized it was the same one that hurt her last year.
She looked around quickly and saw that it had been Harry to shoot the spell that saved her from whatever curse that would have hit her.
"Harry! LOOK OUT!" she screamed.
He spun around but was hit by a curse that made him fly backwards and hit the floor painfully.
Hermione looked at who did it and saw Evelyn standing there proudly.
"You bitch!" she screamed and threw a curse at her.
Evelyn yelled in pain then the two started duelling each other.
Harry pushed himself off the ground and he saw that Hermione was handing herself very good against Evelyn but the more they fought the more Death Eaters showed up.
"They're fucking multiplying," he said and pushed himself up off the ground. "Stuefy! Silenco!" One fell to the ground and the other couldn't produce very good magic.
"Petrificus Totalus!" he yelled causing another one to fall to the ground.
"Crucio."
Harry tumbled to the ground in pain. His scar felt like it was splitting and sweat was pouring down his face. He noticed for a minute that it was Voldemort doing it.
He held out his wand and said, "Persona Flamma!" But he wasn't aiming for Voldemort. Instead he was aiming for Evelyn. Who had just thrown Hermione to the ground and was starting to mutter the killing curse. The blonde haired woman looked up just in time for the emerald green flames to crash into her.
She let out a scream and fell to the ground. She forgot all about stop, drop and roll but it wouldn't have done her any good because that was enchanted fire.
Hermione got up quickly and moved away from her. She was bleeding terribly. Looking around quickly she saw Ginny was unconscious, as was Seamus. Dean was wearing down, Luna looked like she was about to faint. Lavender's face was red and she was panting badly. They wouldn't be able to keep going for much longer.
Suddenly there was a bright flash of light and everyone looked over to where it came from.
"Dumbledore!" Lavender yelled from where she was standing.
Death Eaters started scrambling away as Dumbledore and the order members that were there started fighting.
Vulcan hadn't bothered to fight before now. He considered himself above that. But he knew Albus Dumbledore was a threat and shot a curse at the old man.
Needless to say Dumbledore wasn't hit. His shield came up too fast.
Hermione suddenly yelled, "Crucio!" It hit Vulcan and he fell to the ground and winced heavily but the curse fizzed out like it had on Harry last year when he cursed Bellatrix.
Vulcan got up and glared at her. He didn't bother throwing a curse at her, he just punched her in the face.
Harry didn't take to kindly to this though. He looked around wildly for the one thing he needed to get rid of Vulcan.
"Be careful with the blood," Vulcan muttered. "If there's too much or too little it won't work."
The memory flicked through his mind quickly and he remembered what Gemma had told him. If the Half Blood Prince got the blood of one more half blood in him, even after he was alive again, then the ritual magic would kill him. But there was a catch; Harry needed to get the blood into him with the dagger that had been used to take some flesh out of his arm.
After looking around he finally saw it. It was thrown carelessly to the side as if unimportant. Harry reconiged it from before too, it was the one Wormtail had used in his fourth year to draw blood from his arm.
Making a mad dash towards it he had to slide on the floor (which was painful thanks to all the glass) and crashed into the wall with his very injured arm. Grabbed the dagger as fast as he could he ducked under bright jets of light that were flying everywhere.
Voldemort didn't see him, which gave him a huge advantage. Harry looked around quickly and saw Evelyn on the floor, the flames slowly disappearing off her and saw Ron taking out Bellatrix as best as he could. Lavender lay unconscious.
His eyes landed on Hermione who was fighting Vulcan. She was close enough to him to get the dagger into him.
Suddenly Voldemort turned around and he said, "Potter, fancy meeting you here. Avada Kedavra."
It happened so fast Harry didn't have a chance to react, but someone else did. He felt himself pushed to the side and saw someone else being hit by the green light. When he unshielded his eyes he saw the small figure of Mark Evans on the ground. Dead.
Voldemort laughed evilly and Harry felt like his lungs had just collapsed. He couldn't breath. He couldn't...how could someone kill a little kid. Why had Mark done that? In a rage Harry brought the dagger up and then down quickly Harry sliced Voldemort's arm and much to his horror the blood that poured onto it was BLACK.
Voldemort hissed in pain and growled, "Big mistake Potter." He pointed his wand at Hermione
"No, you made the mistake," he said. "HERMIONE!"
She looked over at him quickly and he slid the dagger on the ground. She picked it up and he yelled, "STAB HIM!"
Without thinking she quickly stabbed Vulcan right where his non-existing heart should have been.
There was along pause as his eyes widened. Then he started to let off steam. Hermione stared in disgust as he slowly fell to the ground in pieces.
Voldemort stared in shock and noticed Dumbledore heading towards him. He also noticed many of his Death Eaters were captured.
"We'll meet again Potter and it won't be so easy to beat us next time," Voldemort hissed then he was gone, along with his surviving Death Eaters.
Hermione fell to her knees in shock and Harry ran over to her quickly and hugged her tightly. She burst into tears and Harry looked up at Ron quickly. He was staring angrily at the spot in front of him where he had almost beat Bellatrix.
The three of them looked over at where Marks body laid, unmoving. All over the floor people were dead and unconscious. Mostly it was Death Eaters that were dead but there was one or two Order members.
Tonks and Remus, who were pretty beat up but alive came over and Remus said, "We have to go now..."
"Mark..." was all Harry said as he held his shaking girlfriend.
Author's Note
I'm so cruel...I can't even believe that I killed Mark but I did say someone was going to die in this chapter. Actually a lot of people did.
Almost done...and thank you to all my great reviewers. You guys are the best!
WIZ1 – yeah, I've had these parts planned out in my mind for awhile with more action so there should be more.
Sir Slytherin – Yes in the last chapter I will release the name of my next fic. Yes Clara Pettigrew. Her last name now is Evelyn though, I didn't lie about that.
Amity-Star – Aww poor you, I know what it feels (stupid tests). Wow you're strange and thanks for liking my story so far!
QueenWeasel – Thank you
Japanese-jew – yeah sequels are good
Kazz – I know most of the characters are OOC but I like it the way it is (shrugs)
333,halfevil – Yes you reviewed this before, remember in got your name wrong when I replied to you once? Yeah its ending soon...
randomreaderguy – that was just an example to show that Harry doesn't have total control of his magic. Yes that will be expanded on in the sequel.
Colorguardbaby23 – Yeah nobody would have guessed the Pettigrew thing but I've had it planned since the beginning. At the end though I made it obvious Evelyn was a Death Eater.
UltimateHPFreak – As you saw the thing with the time turner was explained at the author's note at the beginning.
Aboxforpandora – Lily didn't get it from Merlin's grave, someone gave it to her. Its not really relevant right now.
Schnuff – No I don't know those novels but I'll take it as a compliment. The reason the time turner wasn't used before all that was because...I forgot about it...
Ladyvohn – lol thanks and good luck! I particularly liked the twist of Harry being possessed myself. I like the song in that chapter too.
Sailorsuns – ok then
Quizgirl – True but if Harry used the Time Turners what could he have done? Walked up to his past self? I'd think Harry would curse another version of himself without thinking of what it could possibly be before he got a chance to warn them. I think JKR knew what she was doing.
Atrus Valentein – ok then, I take it if I don't make a sequel you'll be upset LMAO
ILoveRemus – I take it from your screen name that you really like Remus. Don't worry; he and Tonks are important in the sequel.
Lord Skywalker – I know that's terrible sentence structure but I don't really care much for it. Honestly this is more for fun I guess, I'm working on something else that I have to watch every little thing with so...well I don't want to worry about that stuff here.
Drake Smythe – Thank you
Shadow-demont – thank you!
Holimontski – You're right I do have a lot of cliffhangers but I'm sorry to say that a lot of them are going to continue to be cliffhangers. At least until the sequel that is.
Ladyvohn – Yes that is true but for now I'd like to just keep going on my own so I can actually look back and see my improvement. I actually have like three betas for something else I'm working on so I get where you're coming from.
Carn – I never thought of that, but I could have made her Snape's sister as well, that might have made an interesting twist.
Aqua Mage – I know it is! It's confusing to me too!
Alex – Aww thank you. Yes you get a sequel! Even though I was intending on making one.
Danboy – the next chapters come when ever I have a chance to write them and to update which can be hard because of my school.
