Harry Potter and the Element's of Surprise
Chap. 2: The Elementals and Voldemort
It was May first and the Hogwarts students were entering the hall for dinner. This year there were many absentees among them. Many students had been killed, and some of them had just disappeared.
"Welcome, my children. As we've done so many times before please, let us have a silence for the empty places among us that will never again be filled," Albus Dumbledore was looking older than ever.
The twinkle that used to be an almost constant in his periwinkle blue eyes was now missing. He rarely ever smiled now, his worry and stress lines showing the more.
Many of his pupils have been missing for the last 11 months. He was missing exactly 20 students. They weren't Voldemort's captives (Severus said there were no students among the captives he held). They hadn't gone into hiding. They had just disappeared.
The students were;
Janie and Albert Smelt, Larry Jones, Jeff Parkins, Justin Hawk, Isabella Jones, Danielle Frank, Stacey Crow, Matt Bones, Malcolm Baddock, Graham Pritchard, Padma and Parvati Patil, Craig Zabini, Loretta Goyle, Braedon Mackenzie, Amy Rockton, Mitchell Smith, Virginia Weasley, and Harry Potter.
The biggest problem was Harry. He'd always been a beacon of hope for everyone. The-Boy-Who-Lived. Our Saviour. Dumbledore's Golden Boy.
The point was he was needed! Ron and Hermione needed him especially. Ron had gotten into many fistfights with other boys. The Slytherins were usually the victims in these fights.
Hermione's grades had dropped. She'd lost weight and sleep. She and Ron were up many late nights worrying over the fate of Harry and Ginny.
"You may be seated," Dumbledore announced as he seated himself wearily at his place at the Head Table. It seemed his age was finally catching up to him.
There were a few sniffles and some tears around the room as they all prayed for the safety of their friends and family. Albus himself felt his eyes start to tear. Why did they have to go threw this?
The doors to the Great Hall were suddenly shoved open. At least 40 people entered the hall. They all wore black hooded robes with an E on the forearm. The E had different emblems insinuating different "clans" of a sort.
The teachers and older students were immediately on their feet, their wands at the ready. They weren't dressed like Death Eaters but they could still be the enemy. Better safe then sorry right?
"Relax Professor Dumbledore." A man had stepped forward. His robes were of a deep red colour, making him stand out from the group. "We're not here to harm anyone. We've come to help. We happen to know that Voldemort's on his way. Besides why would I want to attack here? This is my home!"
"Who are you? How do you know Voldemort's going to attack?" as Dumbledore was talking he'd lowered his wand and come forward a few paces. Suddenly there was a giant wall of earth separating Dumbledore and the man.
"Mike! Stop it now! He is my friend! He will not harm me!" the man in the red commanded. It was then that everyone noticed the other man who'd stepped away from the group and closer to their leader. This young man had navy blue robes, stating him a higher rank than the others who were in plain black robes.
"Sorry. You know it's my instinct Pawstrike." the second man, Mike, said with an apologetic salute. And suddenly the wall was gone as was the man. He'd managed to merge back into the crowd.
"I'm sorry Headmaster. My people are protective of each other. We have lived together for the last 10 months. I guess you could say we're over protective," the man apologized with a small bow, "As for who I am, I'd like to think you still now me."
Gasps filled the room as the man lowered his hood. He had shoulder-length black hair and the most striking emerald green eyes. He also had a lightning blot scar on his forehead. It was Harry Potter!
"HARRY!" was the shriek before Harry was engulfed in a hug by a hysterical Hermione. Harry, of course noticed the changes but chose not to comment on them.
"Missed you too 'Mione," was all he murmured as he hugged his long-time friend.
"Harry, mate." Ron said sticking out his hand to his best friend. Harry grabbed Ron's hand and pulled him swiftly into a hug instead.
"Missed ya mate!" Harry muttered.
"Ahem, Harry, how about introducing the rest of us?" came a smooth female voice. A woman in the same robe colour as Harry stepped forward, a small bundle in her arms.
"Sorry darling. I forgot myself," Harry said in apology to the woman, "I'd like you to meet my wife, Virginia Molly-Anne Weasley-Potter also known as Lady Infernowing along with our 1-month-old daughter Lilia Molly Hermione Sirius Potter."
Ginny let down her hood, revealing her identity. She knew what was going to happen next. 5...4...3...2..1..
"WHAT!? Your WIFE? DAUGHTER? HARRY JAMES POTTER I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Ron yelled, his face red.
"I don't know who your talking to Ron but really! You have guests! Stop ignoring me!" Harry cried out innocently.
"Huh?" Ron asked stupidly, stopping short.
"My name isn't Harry James Potter. It's Harrison Andrew Remus Orion Lawrence Derrick Joseph Alexander Markus Evan Sirius Potter. Although my Elementals" here Harry gestured to the people he'd entered with, "call me Lord Pawstrike."
"Anyway," he continued before Ron caught on, "this is my second-in-command and twin brother, Mathew Isaac Keegan Ethan Sirius Ivan Remus Isaiah Ulysses Shawn Potter also known as Lord Swifttooth."
The man in the navy blue robes stepped forward, letting his hood drop. Harry allowed a few seconds of staring before he continued.
"These are my "squad" captains; Diana and Julius Daniels leaders of Fire and my cousins. Shawn Darling and Erica Mathews of Water. Greg Patil and Becca Lous of Earth. Peter Lous and Libby Barge of Air. And lastly Steven Cairn and Anita Patil of Shadow" As Harry spoke the leaders each stepped forward, bowed and removed their hood. Each leader had a symbol representing their "element" sewn on the back of their robe.
"This is my Fire squad; Isabella Jones-Hart, Janie Smelt, Stacey Crow, Jenessa Warner, Marissa Pinter and Matt Bones." the Fire squad all had the letter F engulfed in flames embroidered on the shoulder of their robes. They also stepped forward when called, and bowed(though their bows were lower than the others had been) but, the squads melted back into the crowd after being called.
"This is my Water squad; Graham Pritchard, Albert Smelt, Larry Jones, Malcolm Baddock, Elizabeth Porter, Garry Mitchell and Jesse Hunter." This squad had the letter W surrounded by waves of water on their shoulder. They, too, merged back into the crowd.
"My Earth squad; Padma Patil, Samantha Hart, Loretta Goyle, Braedon Mackenzie, Justin Hawk, Lacey Kan, Helena Luv and Rhiannon Mickey." This Squads emblem was different. There's was the Earth with the letter E in the middle of it. Nut the squad was the same. They too, melted into the crowd.
"My Air squad; Danielle Frank, Amy Rockton, Craig Zabini, Emma Jenkins, Jeff Parkins, Kayleigh Burton and Ilyenna Morgan." The Air emblem made it so that the large capital A looked like it was being buffeted by the wind. The squad acted the same as the others had.
"And finally this is my Shadow squad; Parvati Patil, Rose Kurtis, Tony Ogilvie, Lenny and Miranda Gomez, Austin Gann and Mitchell Smith" this group emerged from the shadows. The S on their arms was shrouded in darkness. Instead of merging into the crowd, they settled back into the shadows.
"Elementals you may visit and talk with you family and friends, but stay on guard. He may not wait." At Harry's commands the group quickly split up and went to their friends and family.
Harry watched silently for a while. He watched as his "followers" were engulfed in hugs. He smiled. They were finally home.
"Babe? I think the Headmaster and Professor Lupin along with 2 best friends of yours would like to speak to you," Ginny said, snapping Harry out of his reverie. Harry's only response was to pull Ginny and Lilia close for a hug.
"Thanks doll. Now go hang out with your friends," Harry murmured, giving her a gentle push, "Go show off that darling daughter of ours!"
"Alright love. But don't go too far!" Ginny said her eyes promising torturing punishment if he did.
"K, Gin. Now go! Have fun!" Harry laughed, before turning to face his friends and former teachers.
"Harry? How the hell did you and my sister have a baby?" Ron demanded, his face going red again.
"Ron, before you say or do anything, you should know my army is watching you. If you attack me, they will attack you. That's 45 people including Ginny." Harry stated calmly, his eyes never leaving Ron's, "Besides that I'm sure you really wouldn't want to know how we "had a baby". And Ron, we were married before she was conceived."
"Harry," Dumbledore broke in, "maybe you'd like to discuss this somewhere more private?"
"No thanks, I'm fine right here. My people are not being let out of my sight. Neither are my wife or child." Harry replied, his eyes quickly searching the hall for anything amiss.
"Harry! Be reasonable! Nothing's going to happen to them in here!" Hermione cried, although she, too, swept her eyes across the Hall.
"Hermione-" Harry started but was interrupted as a pure white panther came speeding into the hall. Harry's eyes grew slightly but there was no other sign of his fear. Instead he addressed the panther. "Is he here?"
The panther disappeared with a small pop and in it's place was a man in the black Elemental's robes. Although this man had a panther with an A in the middle of it on his sleeve. "Yes m'lord. He is coming. Do you wish for the Animagus and Vampires to move in behind?"
"Yes, Snow. But make sure Kitty keeps the Juniors away from the fight. And tell Kelly and Clark to be as fast as they can with the Light Creatures." Harry commanded before turning to the rest of the room.
"Anyone over 4th year willing to fight, get ready. The rest of you need to form quickly into a line. Ginny, take Lilia and bring these kids to the Phoenix Chamber. Rose. Tony! Make sure you follow behind and protect them if need be!" As Harry spoke, people automatically followed his orders. Rose and Tony were two of the Shadow squad members.
"Fire, Water I want you to move and go to the right, Air, Earth I want you on the left. Try to stay out of sight. Tell the others to get into position. Shadows I want you to merge in with the students and teachers. Alright, let's go!" Harry commanded.
"Harry! Wait!" Ginny called, rushing over to him, "Be safe my darling. I love you."
"I love you too. He will die today Gin. Be careful." Harry replied before giving her a long and passionate kiss, "K, let's move!"
Harry and his group stood waiting on the grounds. While the others milled about Harry stood perfectly still, waiting for something. They all knew what.
"Stand still. He's almost here. Get ready." Harry called out, his voice ringing out loud for all to hear, as a bolt of lighting streaked the sky. They all stopped, and stood waiting for him.
And then they saw them. At least 100 Death Eaters and over 50 Dark Creatures. But still, Harry never moved.
"Well, if it isn't the "mighty Lord Voldemort"" Harry smirked. Voldemort's army had stopped two metres away from Harry's.
"You!" Voldemort cried out in rage, "You're supposed to be dead!"
"So am I but I'm not. Deal with it Riddle." Mike replied, stepping up beside his brother.
"You think you can defeat me with a few puny teachers and students? You must be off in the head!" Voldemort sneered, ignoring Mike completely.
"Oh but you see they aren't puny and they aren't the only ones here. Shadows," Harry said, smirking back as his 9 Shadows stepped forward, "Storms" Another 9 people appeared(their emblem was an S with a lightning bolt through it), "And Life Givers." These 8 people had LG and a demon in the background as their emblem, "And here come the Light Creatures."
"Hmm, we shall still defeat you. These are but mere children!" Riddle said scornfully.
"You may think them children Riddle. But perhaps you remember the failed raiding party where you lost 25 of your men? I'm sure you also know it was the Elementals that defeated them. We are the Elementals." Harry replied calmly.
"No your not! There were at least 100 Elementals at that raid!" Voldemort snapped at him. Losing 25 men obviously got on his nerves.
"Actually it was me and 10 others." Harry replied. It was the truth. At the time the rest of them had been saving more of Voldemort's captives. "Haven't you ever wondered how your captives got away? That was us too! We're also the ones who destroyed 8 of your "castles""
"Why you, you!" Voldemort hissed angrily.
"You what? I don't care what you think about me Riddle!" Harry snapped back.
Voldemort was about to reply when there was a swish of wings and the pounding of feet. Out of the forest came 30 odd Griffins, 50 magical snakes of different breeds, 20 Acromantulas, 12 unicorns, 45 centaurs, 25 wolves, 50 wildcats of different breeds, and 15 small forest animals. Over 200 creatures for the light.
"We vastly outnumber you Riddle Just give up!" Harry said, giving them the chance to back out.
"Never!" Voldemort cried before shooting out the crutacious curse at Harry.
But Harry didn't fall. He didn't even flinch! Instead his eyes lit up with anger.
"I gave you the chance to back out Tom. Now you have violated our code. All units out!" Harry commanded his voice full of authority and anger.
Roughly 50 people emerged from hiding. Each of them wore Elemental robes. And they were all set up so that they surrounded Voldemort and his "army".
"You don't scare me you puny boy! You don't have the guts to kill me or my men!" Voldemort sneered.
"You really want to bet on that one Riddle? These people killed 25 of your men. They won't hesitate this time either!" Harry sneered back.
"Enough talk Potter. I want this castle." Voldemort said before shooting the crutacious at one of the students behind Harry.
And with that, the second war had begun.
