Hidden Powers
As Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Draco entered the Headmaster's office, they were greeted by Fawkes singing a song. The song signaling that the battle is drawing nearer. Dumbledore stood up and greeted them all. "Ah, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Malfoy, what might bring you here at this time of night?" Harry went to say something but Draco beat him to it, "Professor, I was wondering, well, since I am going to be in the battle, and me and these three are on good terms now, I was wondering if I could change houses." Dumbledore sat in his chair thinking for a momentand looked at Draco, "Tell me Mr. Malfoy, what house were you thinking about changing to?"
A smile came to Draco's face, "Gryffindor, sir." Dumbledore let out a slight chuckle, "Well then, Mr. Malfoy. As long as it is no problem with these three, I see no harm in you switching houses. I will send Dobby to bring your things to your new dormitory. You shall be staying with Mr. Weasley, Mr. Potter, Mr. Longbottom, as well as Mr. Thomas." Draco smiled and nodded. "Is there anything else you need tonight?" Draco shook his head but Harry spoke up, "Professor, I was wondering, tomorrow for the meeting, I was hoping you would come and help us out in the Room of Requirement. Draco, Hermione, Ron, and myself already know the three Unforgivable Curses, but, we are going to need some help teaching this many students at one time. Although, I felt the determination coming from Nieville earlier when we were in the Great Hall. In all honesty sir, I think he wants revenge. He wants to avenge his parents' torture. And I will be personally helping him. With your permission of course." As Harry finished, a smile appeared on the elder wizard's face.
"Ah, Mr. Potter, you are discovering some of Godric's old powers now." The four students looked at Their Headmaster confused. "You see Harry, Godric could sense the emotions running through people's minds. That is one of the ways he defeated Salazar Slytherin. There is one more power that I think you may find interesting wich you know, but you have not used it yet." Harry looked at him confused, "What might that be professor?" Dumbledore smiled once again, "You can read people's minds. And if you choose, they can comunicate with you as well. You see, once Salzar seperated himself from the other founders, Godric gave some of his mind reading powers to Hufflepuff and Ravelclaw. Now, Ron, Draco, Hermione, if you will please go back to the Gryffindor Common Room, I have some business to discuss with Mr. Potter." They nodded and left.
Dumbledore sighed and looked at Harry when they left, "Harry, what is on your mind? I can tell something is wrong." Harry sighed, "Yes sir, I just didn't want to worry the others. I am a little worried. Not about me, but about Ron, Hermione, and Draco. See, I am afraid that they might die next week. And it is scaring me terribly. I just can't stand to tell them not to fight. I know I couldn't convince them if I wanted to." Dumbledore smiled, "Harry, you are so much like your father. Caring about everyone else and not caring or thinking once about yourself. He would be so proud of you right now." Harry smiled. "Professor, about this mind reading powers. how many people can I allow to have them?" Dumbledore looked at him. "Five not inculding yourself. If you wish to use less, that's fine, if not, then the maximum is five." Harry thought for a moment.
"Ok, well that's Hermione, Ron, Draco, Ginny, and Nieville. There that's five. Now, how do I designate these powers to them?" Dumbledore smiled once more, "You simply think about them, and then transfer your energy to them. Try it now if you like." Harry stood up and took a deep breath before consentrating on Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Draco, and Nieville. In a matter of seconds, a white mass of energy flew out of the room and in five different direction. Harry openned his eyes for a brief moment and then passed out.
Slowly, Harry's eyes openned. He looked around and realised he was in the Hospital Wing. He went to sit up, but realised someone was holding his hand. He looked to his side and saw Hermione laying her head on his bed. She had fallen asleep waiting for him to wake up. He slowly tried to sit up, trying not to wake her. He got up right and was about to get up when Hermione woke up. She lifted her head and openned her eyes only to be looking into Harry's emerald green eyes,
"HARRY! Thank Merlin you're awake!" "Hi Hermione, how long have I been out?" "Five days. You had us worried sick. We were all in the Common Room waiting for you when this white light hit us, and then some how we knew you had passed out. What was that?" Harry smiled, "So it worked. Man, it must have taken a lot out of me for me to be out for five days." What worked Harry?" Harry looked at her, "Oh sorry Hermione I thought Dumbledore would have told you. Since I am Godric Gryffindor's heir, I can read minds. Well, I gave you, Ron, Draco, Ginny, and Nieville some of my powers so we can communicate telepathically. So, now, whenever one of us are in trouble, we can call the others and the closest one can come and help."
Hermione smiled, "Well that's good, I was starting to get kind of scared with this battle coming up. It's day after tomorrow you know." Harry jolted up, "WHAT!? OH MAN!! I was supposed to teach everyone the Unfogivable Curses. MAN! I am so foolish!." Hermione looked at him, "Harry it's ok, we took care of it." Harry sighed, "No you didn't. Me and Nieville. I was going to help him. BUT WAIT! We still have one day right?" "Correct" Harry sighed, "Good, then I can still help him. Hermion I have to go. I will meet you in the common room after Nieville and I have had some practice." Hermione nodded and Harry dashed out of the Hospital Ward through corridors and into the dungeons. He entered Snape's classroom in his robes, since he could conjure.
"What do you want Potter?" spat Snape. "Nothing that concerns you Snape. I need to talk to Nieville and he won't be coming back to your class today." Snape laughed, "Since when are you giving orders Potter?" Harry smirked, "Since I am in charge of the battle that is going to happen here day after tomorrow. And if you know what's good for you, you will let me and Nieville practice the Unforgivable Curses now." Snape looked in shock as Harry was smirking. With a simple nod from Snape harry said, "Nieville, pack your stuff and follow me." Nieville packed his stuff and the two left the classroom and up to the Room of Requirement, where the statue was. Once inside, Harry turned to Nieville, "Ok, be lucky I got you out of Snape's class." He said joking.
Nieville laughed, "Why are we here Harry?" Harry smiled, "I want to see you use the Imperious Curse on me." (Ok so Imperious aint spelled right. NO FLAMES!!) Nieville's eyes widened, "B-b-but Harry, it's one of the Unforgivable Curses and.." Harry cut him off, "Nieville, listen, I know it is. I am doing this because Voldermort and his Death Eaters made your parents go insane through torture. I can sense that you want revenge. You want to avenge them. I know. I plan on avenging my parents tomorrow as well. Come on Nieville, you can do it. I know you can." Nieville simple nodded. "Ok Nieville. Give me your best shot, think about the death eaters torturing your parents. Let the anger flor through you and take it out on me. Don't worry. I'll be fine." Nieville nodded and thought hard and shouted, "IMPERIO!!!" "Harry, jump up and down three times."
Something inside Harry's head told him to do as he was told, 'Why?' he thought to himself. 'I don't want to jump' he thought 'I said jump!' Jusdt then Harry found himself jumping up and down. Then he heard Nieville's voice again, "Finite Incantatiun" Just then, Harry felt himself Regaining control of his body, "Damn Nieville. Yolu're the first person who has ever kept me under the Imperious Curse. Not even Voldermort could do that."
Nieville's eyes widened, "Really?" "I swear Nieville, you're more powerful than you think. More powerful than Voldermort thinks. I have an idea now." Nieville looked at Harry, "What's your idea Harry?" Harry smirked, "Who ordered the attack on your parents?" "Voldermort." "Do you want to get even? Because you are sure as hell one of the most powerful wizards here." Nieville couldn't believe his ears, "Harry, are you serious? You really want me to help you fight Voldermort?" Harry nodded, "I could use someone who can cast such a powerful Imperious Curse. Now, let's try Aveda Kedavra." Nieville nodded.
"Now Nieville, remember, focus your anger and take it out on the statue over there." Nieville nodded and pointed his wand at the staue, "AVEDA KEDAVRA!!" The spell flew striaght towards the statue and colided with it, shattering it to pieces. Harry stood there, smirking. Nieville turned to him out of breath. "How..was I?" Harry smiled, "That was awesome. You're deffinately going to help me and the others. I'll show you the plans we have. Now look." Nieville walked over from where he was standing, to a small table with some parchment on it.
"Nieville, there is a fly team, which is consisting of five people. Ginny, Seamus, Dean, and the Creavey brothers. Now, there are two squads of Aurors and students on the ground. A squad will be led by Dumbledore and Remus. While the B squad is led by McGonagall and Snape. Now, while those two squads are taking out Death Eaters and Dementors, C squad will be going straight for Voldermort. Now, C Squad only has a few people. Ron, Draco, Hermione, Luna, You, and me. We are heading right for Voldermort and his inner circle of Death Eaters, who are more than likely going to be around him." Nieville nodded and smiled thinking about pay back for his parents' murder.
"Nieville, there is something I have to tell you. I the night I passed out, I gave six people mind reading powers, for us to sommunicate telepathically. Those six are me, Ron, Hermione, Draco, Ginny, and you, Nieville. If you are introuble and get seperated from us, just yell our names in your mind and we will do our best to get there. ut, judging by the power of your curses, you won't need our help. It's just a safety percaution." Nieville nodded. "Well, it's getting kind of late, might as well get some sleep for tomorrow. We are getting up early to be able to warm up a bit before the battle."
Nieville agreed with a yawn as the two left the room and headed up to the Common Room. When they got there, they saw only one person in the common room. Hermione. "I got her Nieville, go get some sleep." Nieville nodded and went up to his dormitory, while Harry walked over to the couch where Hermione was sleeping. 'She looks so peaceful when she sleeps' He said to himelf. He hated to take her, but he had to. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Hermione, come on Hermione, you have to wake up" Hermione's eyes fluttered open. She sat up and noticed Harry was next to her. "Harry! It's 'bout time you got back!"
She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged hug tight. He hugged her back. 'What am I going to do if I lose her tomorrow?' He thought. She whispered in his ear, "You aren't going to lose me Harry." "Damn, I forgot about the mind reading." he said. "Come on Hermione, time for bed. We need rest for tomorrow." Hermione nodded and kissed Harry on the cheek and got up and went up to her dormitory. Harry stood up off the couch and stretched. He then yawned and walked up to his own dormitory for the the most restless night of his life.
