Chapter 2 – Awakening, and Not Another Bloody Prophecy
It was a trying time for everyone at the school immediately after the battle had finished; there were corpses to be moved and put out of sight of the children. They were awaiting the arrival of more Auror's and the Auror's on site from the battle to have time to move them to a secure facility for identification and mass burial.
There were the bound and stupefied death eaters to take directly to Azkaban, they were identified, arrested and jailed without a trial because of their part in attacking a school full with children.
The only ones not taken were the two male Malfoy's, Mrs Malfoy had been killed by Voldemort several weeks previously, Pettigrew who was stunned and blocked from his Animagus ability, and Snape. Both Malfoy's were severely injured, (not life threatening though), and needed treatment before being moved, they were oddly silent after the battle had finished. Snape who was known to all on the side of light as one of their spies was left where he was sitting, the Rat Pettigrew though was being taken to the Ministry to prove that Sirius Black was an innocent man after all; even though he was dead it still mattered to his unofficial family that his name be cleared so that he could rest in peace.
Snape also appeared to be injured when someone from the mediwitch's team approached, but there was no blood or marks on the visible skin, he too was oddly quiet, no sneering, smirking, just sitting in one spot rocking back and forth in pain, not being able to move from the pain to get up and go somewhere warmer.
For the side of light there were many injuries that had to be dealt with, unfortunately they had many casualties too many to count, many fatal, which was solved by the good vampires for those that had given consent, and many dead.
The most important to deal with at that time was Harry Potter, through a prophecy which came to light and known to five people he had to live or else Lord Voldemort would come to life once more, this time without Harry to save them.
It was two weeks later when Harry finally managed to move any part of his body to indicate that he was on the road to recovery, his hands twitched and his feet wiggled as if to try and get more comfortable, but he never once attempted to open his eyes.
!Beginning of dream sequence!
"Cupio Caleo Adepto Gravida Imperium Harry Potter" What the hell kind of curse was that? He never even pointed his bloody wand at me; it was at his own bloody arm.
Oh Merlin, what is that pain? It feels like my whole being is on fire, it feels a little like I am horny, but I can't be, where am I? It feels like I'm floating somewhere.
"Harry, Harry" called a beautiful female voice.
"Who…who's there?"
"I'm your mother, you have to go back now Harry, they all need you, remember the prophecy."
"I remember, what does it mean though?"
"You tell me Harry."
Harry looked around the strange place he was in, he could see no one but he answered anyway.
"The first line was… 'The winner of the battle shall fade', I guess that means I will die or something."
"Not die Harry, you are running on empty, you used a lot of your energy and are now gaining it back. Go on."
"Um… 'Death will kick him away', I guess that means that I won't die yet, but the next line says something else, 'If the chosen one shall fall.' I guess that is me too."
"Yes Harry, you are the chosen leader of the Wizarding World, you were put here to change the way we are, but if you die, Voldemort will be kicked back by death, because he is not happy that we of the Wizarding World live long lives."
"So if I die Voldemort comes back to life? So the next verse is 'The world will change, by the chosen one and his mates, when the new chosen is born, of the old he may rest.' Does that mean I get to have kids?"
"Yes Harry, you will have children, name one for me my beloved child, I must go, so must you, remember the prophecy, you are immortal to a point and anyone bonded to you will live until the day you die."
"Bye Mum, I love you."
"I love you too, and I am so proud, so is Sirius and your father."
!End dream sequence!
Harry slowly blinked his tired eyes, 'that is so weird, how can I be tired when I am opening my eyes after being asleep?'
"Harry" shouted three very loud voices, he knew who they were straightaway without looking, Hermione, Molly and Ginny. 'Where the hell are Ron and Neville?'
"Her…Herm…water" he croaked out, he felt a cool hand lift his head gently and a glass being pressed to his dried and cracked lips.
"Thank you" he managed before falling asleep once more.
What felt like forever he felt himself climbing back towards wakefulness once more; this time he could hear voices before he opened his eyes, he decided to listen for a few minutes.
"You cannot tell him, I forbid it as the Mediwitch of this infirmary"
"Now Poppy, I think it would hurt more if we did not tell him, he has been lied to about himself by his family and us for so long." He heard Albus Dumbledore say to the Mediwitch.
"What of Severus Poppy?" Harry heard Professor McGonagall say.
"There appears to be nothing wrong with him, just that he is in pain and not saying anything except that it hurts and he needs something."
"What of the Malfoy's Poppy? Are they ready to go to Azkaban yet."
"Not yet, they seem to be in a similar state to Severus, except they are asking for forgiveness from their new master as well."
"Mmm, this is interesting."
"What is Albus?"
"I only heard part of the curse that Voldemort said before Harry killed him, that was Imperium, which is Latin for Control, I need to know if Harry knows the rest, but I think that he was trying to bond Harry to himself before he died, it seemed to have back fired somewhat."
Harry thought that he should say something anything
"Wh…whe." He stopped to cough, his throat felt like it was filled with sand.
"Harry how are you feeling my boy?" Dumbledore asked in a gentle manner, but which also sounded like he was in some kind of pain.
"Wa…wat…water."
Madame Pompfrey lifted his head and poured a potion down his throat instead, "It's to make your throat better, and here have some water too."
"Thank you, it feels better." He slowly opened his eyes and squinted at the headmaster, deputy head and the Mediwitch.
"How long? What happened?"
"Three weeks, you woke up for several minutes each day for the last few days. Voldemort is dead" McGonagall told him softly.
"How many dead, captured?"
"You should rest young man, there will be plenty of time to talk about that later"
Madame Pompfrey lifted his head and poured something else down his throat while rubbing his throat to help it go down. The last thing he heard was Dumbledore asking if it was necessary to pour more Draught of the Living Death down the poor boy, he never heard her answer.
AN – Should Neville and Ron both be dead? How many and who should be dead on the good side?
10 points to Ravenclaw because I am one and I know the answer to the question.
0 points Slytherin
0 points Gryfindor
0 points Hufflepuff
Question – What does the curse – "Cupio Caleo Adepto Gravida Imperium Harry Potter" and the spell - "Candidus Phoebus comburo" mean?
Hints – Both are Latin, there is also a small hint in the story above.
I have decided that because there are two I will award thirty points to the first five correct answers before I post again in about a week.
Thank you to the four reviewers that I have so far-
Cair – as you see I have written more and I hope you enjoy
Sfsadasdfasf – I did say in the summary that it was a taster of what was to come, the full chapter was put in later.
Wolflady – What the spell is will come out in the next chapter, I hope.
Sweet snow and Hiei lover – Thanks, and I will try and update regularly.
Sincerely Artemis Potter-Snape. (xx)
