Ebony Potter and the Facade
A/N, sorry I haven't updated in a long while. I was banned from the computer (damn mother), and have recently been ill, I'M NEVER ILL!
Thank you to the following people: Japanese- Jew, Cronenus, Evfrosyne and Dark Miko!
"Your work is done here", she whispered to him, while everyone tensed to hear her. As if waking from a sleep, Harry nodded gratefully and evaporated into thin air.
Chapter three
Immediately the Great Hall went up in uproar, screams of horror from most, yet cheers from many Slytherins.
"SILENCE!"
Hundreds of pairs of eyes swivelled round to meet the normally composed headmaster and few teachers left. During the "cyclone" the teachers spread out amongst the Great Hall to protect the students, now they began to close in onto the mysterious female that had caused much destruction already, and the disappearance of the boy-who-lived.
"Do you really believe it necessary to have me at wand point; I'm not exactly armed with anything am I?" Ebony said ignoring the fact she was in fact armed with at least several concealed weapons. Of course they would probably only count magical weapons, the age of wizards wielding swords and other weapons were a long forgotten art.
"So put your wand down Mr Grouchy", she grinned cheekily at Snape, who was determined to intimidate her with his glare.
"I believe this would be best conducted in my office", Dumbledore continued signalling to a few select teachers. Nodding in acceptance Ebony followed them out of the hall leaving a protesting Ron and Hermione, and whispers to erupt.
Rolling her eyes, Ebony watched the greasy teacher billow his robes dramatically. Obviously one for theatrics she thought, sniggering quietly. Professor McGonagall watched her suspiciously from behind, while Dumbledore hummed merrily
After her quick observations, on instinct Ebony looked for an escape just in case. The stone corridors were long and winding, and many portraits looked at her in interest. Blazing torches hung from the walls, and quickly Ebony looked at the ceiling. Un- used, floating chandeliers hung every so often no too high. It was the ideal escape if need be, providing she could find her small knot of rope. It would look suspicious if she tried searching through her boot. Why did she insist of hiding everything in her boots?
Sighing in annoyance she continued to following the teachers, quite bored of only hearing the rhythmic pattern of three pairs of feet. Ebony was wearing cloth like shoes like her clothing, and insulated the sound of her feet; especially designed for hunting.
Finally they stopped in front of a large Griffin, and the headmaster whispered the password which Ebony strained to hear. The Griffin magically moved to the right, revealing a spiralling staircase; and automatically everyone climbed it until stopping at a huge oak door.
Ebony felt the door riddled with magic, it was rolling off in waves quite like the castles obvious wards, and she wondered curiously what secrets was behind it.
Gently opening the door, the headmaster exposed a circular room full of books and trinkets. As if in routine he sat down in a chair behind his desk, and put something yellow in his mouth.
"Lemon Drop?" he offered to everyone. As always to the headmaster's disappointment, everyone declined.
"Now then, it seems young lady that you've called quite a disruption. Please can you explain to me where and why Mr Potter has gone?"
"Mr Potter has never existed in the first place", Ebony replied enjoying the look on the teacher's faces. Of course they were looking at her like she was mad, but it was currently better than Snape's usual look of distain.
"Please elaborate Miss…?"
"Potter, Harry Potter never existed due to him only being a male replica of me. It's a lot easier to do due to the more complex changes females go through puberty", Ebony said with a small blush on her pale cheeks.
"That's not possible!" Professor McGonagall interrupted quickly.
"When "Harry" evaporated, all the knowledge he's been collected was given back to me. I know all the experiences "we've" gone through. From Sirius Black escape, Cedric Diggory's death, even fighting a basilisk and the protecting the Philosophers Stone.
"We are obviously going to need some proof, something not very well known due to Harry publicity".
Ebony's eyes started to dark in anger, as she remembered the strange person who later told her why she was living with Mages in another realm.
"You told me the prophecy that was destroyed last year. If you'd have told me earlier my Godfather wouldn't be dead!"
A awkward silence settled in the circular room, and Fawkes happily flapped his wings in amusement.
"Where do you come from", Snape asked silkily.
"The Mages realm, however I'm not to divulge too much information about it. All I know was that my mother and father agreed to have me "copied", so I could have some sort of semblance of a childhood. I was allowed to visit them as a child; I have many letters from them which I can now read. One of them describes, in great detail, the Fidelus charm, and of course their secret keeper. I've been training for the prophecy since I was eleven in this realm, fourteen in the other", Ebony finished calmly. The wizard who had brought her to the mage realm specifically told her not to tell the wizarding world too much about it. With phoenixes and other pure creatures being in high abundance, everyone would want to go there and claim them.
"Voldemort's been there I believe, or been on contact with a Time Mage. The last of the Ravenclaw line in dead, and I'm here to stop him".
This chapter in my opinion is rather crap, but hey, oh well. Hopefully as my experience grows so will my writing ability :P

Croneus Yes he will return! Thanks for reviewing, hope you keep reading!
