DISCLAIMER: FOUND ON CHAPTER 1
A/n: Well I am starting the second phase of training for the trio and don't worry it is going to be fun. As a heads up for you Ranma fans, Ranma is living in China with the amazons and this is years after the incident at Nerima. No he is not married to Shampoo he was made an Amazon by Cologne or Ku-Lon in this case. He has full rights and privileges as a full Amazon because of his curse and no one will try to marry him because of his power. The damage that was done to Phoenix Mountain and Jusenkyo Valley has been repaired by magic thanks to some powerful creatures in the valley.
Did I mention that Cologne and Happosai have passed on so now Ranma is the keeper of all their secrets.
Oh well on with the story
I feel so sorry for Voldemort
Recap of chapter 04: "Well I see that my survival training has paid off,"
SORCEROUS STABBER HARRY POTTER
Chapter 05: Wild Magic
The trio turned to find Destiny standing smug against the side of the cave with her familiar on her shoulder. Hedwig and Crookshanks each eyed the white phoenix with curiosity as it returned the favor. "So how was surviving dragon island doing you?" she said, "It nearly killed us," said Ron his face red with anger. "Good," she replied, "What?" the three reacted, "It was the only way to activate your awareness and open your minds up to the training that I will give you next," she said. The trio turned to her, "You mean this was all a test?" Ron said rather testily, "No it is physical training in survival," Destiny countered. The glare she gave him shut him up immediately and he did not say another word afterwards. "Thank you," Destiny said as she walked towards them and the image of the island disappeared as it returned to the whiteness that they saw a year before. "It was all an illusion," Hermione said, "It was not," Destiny replied, "The Room of Spirit and Time is a place that can take you to your imagination's whim and there fore make it real. I created that world for you to experience survival at its peak. It can also take you to places that exist in the world today. As for your first test you passed with flying colors my padwans," she then swished her patched cloak around to show them that the cave they were sleeping in was actually the house that was the only residence in the room. "So we were actually sleeping in there?" Harry said and Destiny nodded, "It responds to what ever world that is imagined by the creator. " she replied as she walked around them examining them, "You three developed quite nicely and it is time for you to start you next round. With a wave of her hand she transformed the scene into that of a forest surrounded by mountains.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione found themselves in a valley surrounded by pools with rotting bamboo poles coming out of them. "What is this?" said Hermione, "Jusendo valley a place hidden in the mountains of China and this..." she swept her hand to indicated the surroundings, "Is Jusenkyo the cursed springs, fall into one and you become the thing that drowned there years before," she said. The three backed away from the spring suddenly afraid of it as the pools look very innocent and after many years at Hogwarts they believe Destiny's warning. "So if this place is so dangerous then what are we doing here?" this time it was Ron who asked and Destiny only turned her head and the three turned as well.
There sitting on a rock was a young man that was clearly Asian in descent with long black hair that is tied up in a pig tail and blue eyes. He stared at them as if studying them his light blue Chinese shirt and Kung Fu pants gave him the air of a fighter. When they got a good look at his arms they could tell that he is not the type to mess with. "Ah it has been a while Ranma," Said Destiny as she turned to the young man, "As it is with I Destiny so what gave you the right to use the room of Spirit and Time to come to Jusenkyo?" Ranma in rather accented English, "I have three new students for you Ranma," Destiny said, "Well this is a change," Ranma said leaping off the rock doing a twist in the air and landing on the ground in front of him. "You did an excellent job of getting them into shape," Ranma said walking around them. "Yes I did and they need to be taught the Anything Goes and since you are the only one who can teach them now; I figure you will be a good sensei to them," Destiny said with a smile. "I know that and since the old ghoul and the pervert are no longer alive I guess I will have to do," Ranma said getting up. "I thought it has to do with imagination?" Harry asked Destiny, "The room can also be used as a transport to take you to places you have never been before," Destiny added and smiled, "Don't worry this time I will be hear to help supervise the training. Since Ranma is going to be training you in the physical part I will start training you in the magical part." Destiny said with a smirk and they began to walk away, "Where are you going?" asked Ron, "I have some business I have to take care of before I begin my lessons with you," with that she disappeared.
The three were led by Ranma into a village that was mostly populated by women and the men looked to be second class. "This is the village of the Chinese Amazons don't mind them for they have a thing for outsiders." And with that some of the women especially the young girls were eyeing Harry and Ron and that made them nervous. Hermione was receiving dirty looks from some of the Amazons and Ranma noticed this and glared at them and they immediately ran away. He approached the house that housed the elders of the Amazons and told them to wait outside. He then went into the hut and they waited patiently until he came out sometime later. "Alright it is ok to come in and get introduced to the elders of the Amazons," he said and they walked in.
The hut was a singled room house but looked more like a circular arena with a judge's seat at one end and seats on either side. On both sides stood many old and wizened women some of which are small but they held an air of power to them that rivaled Ranma's. "Are these the three that Destiny warned us about?" one said, "They are kind elder," Ranma replied and then the conversation went in Chinese with none of the trio understood. After some debating and arguing the conversation turned to English again, "You better know what you are doing Ranma," said one elder, "Like I told you they have to be trained," he said, "If it is true that this Voldemort has been using the magic of Fang then it is your job to make sure that these three are up to power in training," said another and Ranma bowed respectfully. "I will elder thank you," and with that he called them out.
"What was that all about?" Hermione asked, "They wanted to discuss why you are here and I told them what Destiny told me," Ranma replied as they entered another hut, "You three must be hungry and tired so I suggest rest up for tomorrow we start early," and with that he walked out and the three looked at each other before they looked at the table full of food obviously either there is a house elf or it was made before hand.
The Dark Lord's Lair
Voldemort was very pleased with himself there have been many successful attacks and nothing the ministry can do to stop it and he was very pleased. "Well it seems that the power of Fang has worked in my favor," he said happily as he stroked the books with care. "These beauties will lead me to the ultimate victory," he said out loud and his Deatheaters cheered for their leader, "Or the ultimate defeat," said another voice and the Deatheaters turned to find a young woman and a white eagle on her shoulder looking at them. Some backed away in fear of getting shocked by their master's wrath, "Who are you?" Voldemort said and his eyes widened at the figure as he made herself known in the light of the torches. "Come, come Riddle I can't believe you forgotten about me," Destiny said as she walked towards the throne, "What do you want?" Voldemort demanded his voice was quaking slightly in fear, "Well as you already know you have something that I want," Destiny said, "Why can't you come and take it?" Voldemort replied, "Well that would not be fun now isn't it," she said, "You already have the power of Fang and much more my lord so I came to give you a warning, the phoenix will arise from the ashes not as a bird of fire but a bird of thunder," with that Destiny disappeared leaving Voldemort fuming. How dare she! He fumed and Nagini knew better then to stay in the way of the dark lord.
Somewhere in China
"Man my legs are getting cramped," Complained Ron as he, Hermione and Harry are doing stretches. It was well into the third day of their stay and Ranma is making them work out harder then when they were with the dragons. That was not the only thing Hedwig, Pig and Crookshanks were getting their exercise from Ranma as he taught them how to dodge blows and spells aimed their way. Hermione was feeling the worse of the stretches for her body was not as able to adapt as Ron and Harry's but it has been getting easier with time.
By the third week Ron, Harry and Hermione were used to the stretches that Ranma made them do for several hours straight. He also had them practice jumping with heavy weights on their arms and legs and refused to get rid of them. He told them they are to eat sleep and bathe with them on. They also had to bathe with each other something none of the trio was willing to do. Ron and Harry had no problem being guys but Hermione was a different story. Ranma had to literally force her by threatening to dunk her in one of the Jusenkyo pools before she got in. All three blushed at each other before relaxing in the Japanese style ofudo bath. As they soaked themselves their familiars were fast asleep in the tree just outside. Looking rather exhausted Crookshanks had his paw on Pigwigdeon and Hedwig was on the other side of the branch. "You know guys this feel kind of strange," Harry said blushing, "The fact that we have to bathe with each other," Ron said, "Yeah that and the fact that we are training with obviously powerful masters of both magic and martial arts." Harry replied, "I agree with Harry I mean why are the there of us together when it should have been Harry who is destined to fight Voldemort?" Hermione said.
It was then that the door opened and Destiny walked in naked and the three of them blushed when they saw the scars on her back. They were some very wicked scars as she cleaned herself and got into the bath the trio tried to get out but Destiny put a spell on them forcing them back in. "Now, now why are you trying to run?" she said and Raiden landed behind her. "Um we figured that you could use your privacy," Harry said, "Nonsense I heard your conversation and was in the mood for a bit of an unwinder myself," she said rather relaxed, "Well, why are the three of us training instead of just Harry?" Ron asked, "That is simple and I already told you that all three of you are chosen to fight the dark one. It is on your hand, arm and forehead." Destiny replied and Ron and Hermione looked down at their scars. "Why the three of us?" She asked, "Because Voldemort has grown more powerful then the prophecy itself," Destiny said and the trio looked at her strangely, "The power of fang," Harry said, "Yes, the original prophecy was that only Harry can defeat him but when he discovered Fang's power in those books and altered it to how ever he chooses thus making him more powerful." As she said this Destiny loss her serene air and felt more like someone who has seen too much in the world.
Slowly the trio could see Destiny look older then what she usually is in her eyes. The seriousness in them has left leaving behind the fear and the regret that one would feel if they fought for too long. "So you are training us to be just as powerful as Harry if not more so?" Hermione said, "No, I am training you to be equal to Harry in power that is why I gave you the marks. You three are connected in heart, mind, body and soul. Though you share no relation to each other you are connected." Destiny said and the trio gazed at each other all curious. The hot water had finally relaxed them to the point they will listen as Destiny slowly gotten out of the tub to dry herself out. The others slowly followed suit thought a bit more reluctant.
They met Destiny outside and walked into the Chinese jungle to a small cliff overlooking the valley. "Why are we here?" asked Harry and Destiny turned to them, "It is time to see something not with our eyes but with our souls she said and sat down cross legged on the grass. Harry, Hermione and Ron each sat down on the soft grass and Destiny began to breathe. "It is time I teach you a new kind of magic, it is time I teach you wild magic," she said and the trio listened curious as to what she had to say.
"Wild magic is the essence of the universe it is what is evolved around us and it binds and penetrates us in another galaxy one that I have been too long ago called it The Force. For it is an energy field that has no good or evil it is as it is," Destiny explained, "Well if it neither good nor evil then how can you tell if it is dark?" Hermione asked, "It is not on what kind of magic it is but on the whim of the user." Destiny replies, "If you use it for evil then it is evil and the same for good," Destiny explained, "When I was at the tower of Fang it is this theory that we were taught and how we are able to use magic without the aid of a wand. Wild Magic is not a thing to be tamed but to be used." She said and waved her hand and a firefly appeared into her hand before disappearing into darkness once again. "The magic you use is called Domestic Magic," she said and they all turned their heads to each other, "The reason I say this is because you need tools to really use it and channel it the way you please. You use it for everything from laundry to dishes and warfare and can control it fully. Here and especially when I was at The Tower of Fang I was taught wild magic. I even learned how different people use magic in different ways. Why there is an order of beings from galaxies away that use magic to bring peace and order to the galaxy. They are called the Jedi and those who use their powers for evil. Some even use magic to travel the galaxies such as the ancients and the Gao'uld who harness their power through the stargates." Destiny then pointed them out as she did, "If we are to harness this magic then how are we going to do it?" Harry asked, "You must harness that power through your bodies first and Ranma will teach that after he conditions your body. The first part of the training is to open up you bodily reserves without any tools such as wands. When you learn how to focus that power the magic will become easier to use." And with that she started her lesson on the theories of wild magic.
ORDER OF THE PHOENIX HEADQUARTERS
The Order of the Phoenix was in an uproar as people ran this way and that doing many tasks required of them in the old Black mansion. The only one not doing anything was Snape as he watched how some of the people could act so ridiculously that it made him almost laugh at the site. The head of Slytherin house was amused in fact as papers were dropping and people rushed to pick them up as they tried to figure out what to do. As the potions master of Hogwarts he could see that some people really needed some healing herbs. Voldemort was growing further out of control then ever and he was getting really worried. Even though he was a spy for the dark lord Snape was forced to escape when he found out that the dark lord had been using a new kind of magic. This one detected spies in his ranks and Snape knew that meant him.
When Voldemort found out Snape ran away as quickly as possible and the dark mark nearly burned his hand off. That was before she came along.
FLASHBACK
"I have a new power to show you my servants," the Dark Lord said as he held his wand up high. Waving it in the air he chanted, "Reveal, and show me! "He said and it was then that many Deatheaters bowed and glowed all but one. "Why my dear Professor Snape I should have known that you are a traitor," he hissed seductively. "This spell works as a charm now I can identify spies and traitors, get him" he shouted but Snape apparated away in time.
When Snape apparated into his private chambers he hissed as the dark mark burned his arm in searing pain. The new power Voldemort has is now trying to kill him as he pictured the snake going up his arm and biting him and each bite left his arm badly burned to the bone. Snape hissed in pain but did not scream. The skull laughed at him as it gained red eyes. "Well Severus it seems that your days of spying are over," the dark lord gloated as the skulls eyes glowed, "I know where you are Snape and it is time you paid with your life." And with that the serpent burned further into his skin and Snape screamed in agony this time. He was in so much pain that he did not noticed the cool hand that gently placed itself on his arm and the pain became less.
Snape looked up and gasped in fear when he saw the Sorcerous Stabber standing right beside him. She did not meet his gaze as she looked at his burned arm and ran her hand over it eyes deep in concentration. It was what surprised him the most was her concentration. The serpent was about to enter his main body when it lifted off his skin. The flat image of the snake flew around him and the skull lifted as well going dead and vanished in thick smoke. What remained of his arm was nearly nothing but burnt bone and pieces of skin hanging down the rest was burned away. Again Snape was struck when the Sorceress once again concentrated her eyes closed and chanting could be heard from her but Severus could not hear what was being said. The pain that was being blocked off subsided as his flesh began to heal and regrow around the now fully healed bones. He watched as it mended and repaired itself till it was good as new. Shocked the potions master stared at his hand and the woman looked up at him. "That was a nasty burn," she said, "Why?" Snape asked, "You, my friend may hate your nemesis but you must remember that the son is not the father and never will be unless he was raised by the father." With that she disappeared.
END FLASHBACK
Snape thought about what she said and many things made sense. He knew what she was talking about, Potter, he thought. He knew that the Sorcerous Stabber was talking about Harry Potter and Snape now had a feeling of regret wash over him. He stared down at his arm after he told the Headmaster of his encounter with the dark lord. Now he was watching as people ran this way and that and he hate to admit it but it was funny. Some were full grown Aurors, some students, and some worked in other odds and ends. During the first few days it showed as Voldemort testing the defenses of some of the magical places in the world. Diagon Alley being one of them and Snape knew that the trolls were the reason now that Diagon Alley is now exposed to the Muggle world.
He sighed as he watched people and ordered a few that were goofing off. He turned around an apparated back to his chambers in the dungeons where he could at least concentrate and relax.
When he got there in a loud 'POP!' Severus started to work on the wolf's bane potion for Lupin as the full moon was drawing near. As he put the ingredients in he felt the presence of someone new in his chambers and turned to find Dumbledore standing there. "Hello Severus," he said his voice always gentle with a know all attitude. "What do you want?" Snape asked and Dumbledore only shrugged, "You got me," the headmaster said as he sat next to Snape. "I noticed that you are twice as grumpy as you normally are Severus," Dumbledore said rather seriously, "Is it because of the discovery of you spying for me?" he asked. "No," Snape replied and it was then that Dumbledore noticed that Snape was holding onto his arm and Dumbledore finally noticed the lack of a certain mark. "How did you get rid of it?" he asked, "None of your concern," Snape snapped, "Oh yes it is if it concerns one of my professors," Dumbledore replied, "Fine she healed me," Snape said with a hint of embarrassment, "She?" Dumbledore asked, "The Sorcerous Stabber," Snape said and Dumbledore raised an eyebrow. "Why would she help you?" he asked rather amused, "I do not know but she left a message for me she said, 'You, my friend may hate your nemesis, but you must remember that the son is not the father, and never will be unless he was raised by the father,' "with that Snape truly felt his age in fact even older. Dumbledore could see what the potions master was thinking of and nodded. "I see," he said, "I think what she is saying is that you should let go of your grudge against James Potter," with that Dumbledore began to walk away finally satisfied at what he heard and Snape fell into one of the chairs exhaustion finally getting to him.
Moscow Russia
They appeared out of no where dark shadows that turned the frozen tundra into something colder as they moved. Every living thing ran for their lives as these dark shapes moved and they were followed by some similar but they were on the ground. The ones that moved first floated in the air their movements ghostly and the ones on the ground moved behind them wearing masks of pearly white. They walked through the dark forests of Russia searching until their companions in front started to attack something.
A woman screamed at the sight as they gave her the Dementor's Kiss and took her soul. She fell into a soulless heap and the shadows moved past her towards the city of Moscow and the Wizarding community there.
A scream was heard when the first Dementors came through the barrier and attacked the people as a lone man walked the streets. When he saw the first dementors he screamed and the alarm went off as every wizard and witch looked out to see the troop of Deatheaters begin their attack. There was a scattered bunch as every Russian ran for it. The attack on the Muggles did not go unnoticed as they attacked them as well with the killing curse. Counter curses and shouts from a few wizards and witches who tried to put up a fight but with the dementors it was useless. They fell easily to the Deatheaters as they killed, raped and burned the town of Moscow to the ground.
China
Harry was wide awake as his scar burned him out of his meditation the images of burning Moscow still fresh in his mind. "You saw it too," Ron said and Harry nodded, "It was Voldemort he had dementors," he said panicked and pained. "I knew he would do something like this," said Destiny as she walked out of the bushes her dark brown eyes glowed with the light of the moon. It greatly disturbed the balance of the magic around us," she said her face serious. "What can we do?" Harry said, "Nothing for now just train and prepare for when you strike back Voldemort will get what is coming to him." with that Destiny walked away without her familiar. Harry looked at the retreating back with curiosity and his two friends yawned, "Man am I tired," Ron grumbled and Harry nodded as a yell came as well.
The next day Ranma had them do the most unusual thing. They are currently standing on their hands trying to make a rock float. Beads of sweat poured from Harry's head as he tried to concentrate without his glasses. Ranma wanted to see how they can do it without any hindrance such as glasses or hair in the face (Hermione). As Harry concentrated on the rock Destiny's words broke them, "Remember my padwans you must feel the rock with your magic. Feel it's essence and its mass and then imagine it to be light as a feather." She said walking around them, "Easy for her to say," Ron grumbled and Harry nearly broke his concentration trying not to laugh. He was shirtless just like Ron wearing only a pair of Kung Fu pants and a bandana to hide his scar. Ron was wearing a similar bandana on his head while Hermione was wearing a sports bra (like in those movies where chicks kick ass) and kung fu pants. (ok fan girls now is the time to drool)
As the sweat poured down from Harry's face the rock only lifted slightly and then came crashing down. Harry was the first to give out and fall into the ground exhausted. Panting from having to stand on his head and his face red from all the blood that rushed into it he gasped for air as did Ron and Hermione as they both came crashing down, "Alright five minutes and then we start again," Destiny and Ranma said at the same time. The trio sighed with relief as they hunched down to rest glad that part was over.
