Harry potter and the betrayal of trust

Confrontation

The next morning Harry woke up, took a shower and got dressed. He was just about to start on his breakfast that already stood on the table when Hades walked in. "Good morning, ready for another workout? I think today we will start on controlling your elemental magic." "Can I have breakfast first, I'm starved." "Sure, I'll come back in half an hour." And with that Hades stood up and left the room. Outside he created a portal to the room where High Counsel was seated.

The room was a gigantic room filled with rows and rows of high chairs on raised platforms, in the centre of the room in the very back were three chairs for the Ones. The upper gods: Horus, Zeus and Thor. A lone figure was seared on one of the chairs on the raised platforms. "Did you find out more about the boys powers." Hades questioned the ancient warrior. "Yes it is almost impossible for a mere human to have so much power." Ares replied. "What are you inquiring?" "I do not believe this boy is just human, even Merlin didn't have this much power." "From what I could tell he is about the same level." "To the naked eye yes but my research has learned me that even his magical outburst didn't even show one percent of his true power, he doesn't even realise it himself but with training and time he will surpass even our power, are you sure he isn't going to become another Evil one once he has defeated the present one." "No, never" Hades replied instantly "Or else he would be burning in the depths of the underworld by now." "There is a possibility that he doesn't wants to do it but that he will have no choice." "Yes, I admit the possibility is there so we will have to be careful, I hope your assistance isn't going to get you into trouble."

"Do not worry my friend, it will not. It will take time for this warrior to unleash his true potential but I just hope when the time comes he will keep his word and stay on the Good side. If he does not even we won't be able to stop him. I must go now, our absence will soon be noticed. We must be careful, the gods our nervous and frustrated about all this, we mustn't be seen together alone. They do not trust us anymore after that last stunt we pulled of." Ares laughed at the memory "We? Don't you mean that stunt YOU pulled of, I mean letting Cerberus out for a walk on Mount Olympus wasn't a really brilliant idea now was it." He tried to keep a straight face but just couldn't. "Especially not when he tried to mark Zeus' chair as his territory... while he was still on it!" They both laughed out loud. "Until we meet again my friend." Hades said and left again trough the created portal into his own realm.

He entered Harry's living quarters with a smirk still on his face from the memory of Cerberus. "What are you smiling at." Harry asked uncomfortable, it was the first time he saw Hades laugh and seeing a smirk on the king of the underworld's face wasn't a good sign. "Just a fond memory I was thinking about. Now, shall we begin with your control over the elements?" Harry nodded eagerly. He couldn't wait to see what he could do with the elements.

In the middle of the room a little pond appeared filled to the brim with water. "Come sit over here." Hades said pointing to a spot in front of the pond with his back to the door. Harry did as he was told "Now try to feel the water, don't focus on making it move or will it to do something, it won't do anything. You have to feel the water, become the water and let it flow like you want it to by imagining you are the water and are doing the motion yourself." Harry nodded and thought it was a bit like occlumency. He closed his eyes and tried to imagine he was the water. He felt like he was becoming liquid and forced himself to move.

Hades observed the young man while he went to sit down on one of the chairs. Suddenly he blinked and thought he missed it. "No, that's impossible. No one can make an element do anything on the first try, not even we could do that." Then he saw it again, a small ripple in the water coming from the side of the pond where Harry was seated.

Harry felt something move but thought it was his imagination until he felt it again. He could feel a small movement ripple trough his mind. "Did something happen?" He asked Hades. "Damn it Harry, we need to have a talk. Come over here and sit down." Harry stood up and walked over to the table and went to sit on the chair on the other side Hades was sitting. "Harry, I have done some research with another god and came tot he conclusion that on your outburst that night you only showed one percent of your actual power. You will rapidly become more powerful than me, your full capabilities will only be unlocked as time passes." "How can it be that I am so powerful?" Harry asked in a weak voice. He had seen the effects of his outburst and felt them, he could never imagine that it was nothing compared to the amount of power he possessed. "Most people get their magic from light or from dark, whatever is the most powerful at the moment. People can switch sides. It depends on their emotions, characters and other factors, but you are an entirely different case. The night Voldemort was defeated some part of him was transferred over to you. You are one of the most pure souls I have ever encountered even with your upbringing. Voldemort and you are the two most extreme opposites. Good and Evil. But with that part of Voldemort inside of you Light and Dark are equal so you have the ability to use them both at the same time. It is this that grants you such great power." Harry suddenly laughed out loud

"what's so funny?" Hades asked surprised by Harry's reaction. "It's just that Voldemort is afraid of because of that prophecy and tried to destroy me because I had the power to destroy him but it was him who gave it to me." Harry replied and then suddenly his mood made drastic turn. "I just lost my parents in the process." He choked out. "Harry, it is this constant blaming yourself that is holding your powers down. You must learn to accept the fact that it wasn't your fault. Due to your emotions the your dark side has a little more than the light side. Once you learn that even al the power in the universe can't control everything and let your guilt and hatred subside will you be able to use all your power." "Thank you." Harry choked out. "You have a lot to process for now, I will leave you for a little while. If you feel up to it, try out you elemental magic some more." He stood up and left leaving Harry alone with his thoughts.

"How can I not feel guilty? How can I not be angry while He Who Must Screw Up My Fucking Life is still alive?" He yelled. He felt his eyes glowing and his palms itching when suddenly the water in the pond seemed to explode and soak the entire place. Harry calmed himself and started to use occlumency to calm down. "I just hope Hades didn't hear that."

After twenty minutes of using occlumency to calm himself Harry began was ready to try his elemental powers again, he could think about what Hades said later. He felt himself become liquid again and tried to make the water go back in the pond.

Hades came back an hour and a half later and was perplexed by what was happening in the room. Harry was sitting in front of the pond that was only half full. He looked around and on the floor he could see tiny droplets of water inching their way towards the pond. Harry was concentrating really hard, sweat was forming on his brow. He suddenly sensed he was not alone in the room and broke his concentration. He stood up and saw Hades standing in the door with an expression of surprise and awe. "What?" Harry asked, confusion showing on his face. He looked around and the same expression of Hades appeared on his face.

"How in Zeus name can you do that in a few hours." He said while he shut the door behind him. "A few hours? How long were you gone?" "nearly two hours." "Two hours have already passed." Harry asked perplexed. "Don't worry, in time your control over the elements will become easier and you won't even have to do all the things you have to do now. When you are more accustomed to using elemental magic you will just have to think a split second about what it has to do and your subconscious will take car of the rest. Suddenly all the water that was still scattered over the room was back in the pond. "See."

"Now what did you do to have water all over the place." Harry was ashamed for a moment when he said: "I was angry at Voldemort for all the things he had done." Hades looked angry for a second "But I used occlumency to calm myself." Harry quickly added and Hades seemed to relax a bit. "Good, you're using your skills already." Now let's start with some fencing. Harry swallowed when he saw the grin on the king of the underworld's face.

Suddenly Hades looked up like he was surprised by something. "Something is happening, I have to meet the other gods. Wait here." And with that he vanished trough the door.

Harry was surprised but shrugged and went over to the wall where all the weapons were displayed. He noticed a wooden stick that was shaped like a sword. He wanted to try it out but he figured it would be better if he read about it a bit first.

He stepped into the library and stepped up to the desk and asked: "A book about sword fighting please." He thought it was funny saying please to a book but when he remembered when he had opened a book from the restricted section in his first year he Thought it couldn't hurt.

The pages in the book started whirling and stopped on a page titled: "sword fighting: from theory to duelling."

He scanned the page and one book stood out from the others: "wielding a sword: how to begin." Harry asked for the book and it came soaring towards him. He picked it up from the desk, the tome slammed himself shut and Harry walked into his living area and went to sit down in one of the coaches.

"Lesson 1: The art of wielding a sword is not just swinging a blade around like most people think...

A few hours later Hades walked back in with a crate floating behind him. "Harry, I'm sorry but we will have to cut your stay here short I'm afraid. The gods are starting to have second doubts about helping you." Harry suddenly felt very insecure, how could he go back to his world while just a minute or two had passed in it, how could he explain what had happened. "Do not worry, Harry. I have some stuff here that will help you clear your name." Hades reassured. The crate opened and something came floating out what Harry recognised as a pensieve, the only difference from the one Dumbledore owned was that it was roughly three times the diameter of the one Dumbledore owned. "Do you know what this is?" Harry nodded "This is a special pensieve, it can project memories instead of just showing them when you go inside. Do you know how extracting memories works." "Nope." Harry replied. "You think really hard about the memory you wish to extract, put your wand against your temple and say 'Extraho'. After that you just deposit the memory inside the pensieve. To show it you put your wand in the liquid and say 'Ostendo'. If you wish to extract the memory from the pensieve just put your wand in the liquid and think about the memory and just say 'Extraho' again." "Wait, I don't have my wand." Harry panicked. "I have already thought of that." Hades picked his wand out of the crate and gave it to Harry. "I also have this for you." Hades showed harry a pendant. If you wish to contact me just hold it in your hand and speak, I will hear you. Try to reach me tomorrow in your timeline." Harry nodded. "Ready, here you go."

He closed his eyes and felt he faint rush of wind again. He opened his eyes when he heard noise erupt all around him to find himself standing in front of the chair in the execution room in Azkaban.

Review responses:

shadowed Rains. : I'm sorry for the grammar and other flaws in my fic. And no, I'm not British. I'm from Belgium, if you don't know what or where it is I don't blame you(It is the size of a football field, lol), and writing a fic in English is a challenge on it's own. And yes I'm going to speed up the training. Thanks for reviewing. It's inspiring me to write chapters a lot faster and with more enthusiasm.
