A/N: I will forgo my normal ranting at this point and go directly into my reviews.
Dweem-angel: Well I am only guessing that your questions came from the title of the last two chapters. Well I will tell you right now that Harry has a good many more worlds to visit before I finish with him. So to answer your questions. "Will Harry be going to other dimensions?" Yes he will go to many more. "Will be end up home?" He will just not right now, and you won't expect how he gets home either. Thanks for your review.
G3tog4: Thanks; though I wish there was more than that to the review, but thank you nonetheless.
Winter Blaze: You're welcome and i am glad I could answer it, though I am not sure what I exactly answered for you. Sorry about the insect thing, but I couldn't resist doing it. As always thanks for reviewing and I hope you continue to enjoy it.
The Gateway: I must say that your review was one of the most touching ones I have read. I am very sorry to hear about your son Johan and I will keep him in my prayers. As for him liking the story I have written here I am really glad. If there is one thing I like to do with my writing it is to reach my reader and have them really enjoy what I write. I would like to thank you and your son for your compliments and I hope that I will continue to write a story that he really enjoys and one that you might like as well.
Recap
"World Cultures Teacher Edition." The book had written on it as Harry looked at it for a moment. He pulled out his timer and it said "5:02". Harry just sat relaxing in the teacher's seat waiting for his timer to hit zero, so he could leave this non-magic world and hoping the next one would be a lot better.
Chapter Twelve: War World
The vortex opens and Harry finds himself in what he believes is the Room of Requirements. At least that is what it looked like to him as he stood in it. He looked around the room and found it was empty of everything. He began thinking of a chair, hoping that this was really the Room of Requirements.
Harry breathed a sigh of relief, as a red cushioned chair appeared right beside where he was standing. "Well at least this world has magic, but is it home?" Harry asked himself as he sat down in the chair. He pulled out his timer and looked at it to see how long he was on this current world "4:23:04:41"
Harry was shocked at first, for the past three worlds he was only there for a few hours. Now he would be stuck on this world for almost five days. He pulled out his wand to check the time "Tempus". A grayish white cloud of smoke appeared in front of him that read. "October 31, 1995 7:56 pm"
Harry was in shock as he looked at the date. "What you mean I came back to the world where I tried to save my parents?" Harry couldn't believe it, but it seemed he was on the same world he had been on two worlds ago. He moved his wand again "Accro Tempus!" A silvery cloud of smoke appeared in from of Harry that read. "October 31, 1989 7:56 pm"
Harry couldn't believe it. It was like he was on the same world only eleven years after he had left it. Harry began to think about the possibilities. Maybe he had looped back around to the same world just at a different point in their history.
Harry had to find out if he was right. He just had to know if this was the same world that he tried to save his family on. Harry stood up and placed the timer back into his pocket and then made the chair vanish.
He made his way towards the door. He would go and find Dumbledore. If this was the same world then Dumbledore would surely remember him from before. Harry made his way out of the room and decided to head for the Great Hall. He figured that they would be having their Halloween Fest in there.
As Harry drew closer to the hall he began to get a weird feeling. There was something not right about this world, but he just couldn't figure out what it was. As he rounded the corner in the hallway he was struck and sent hurling to the floor.
Harry laid there for a moment not sure what had hit him. Then as he grabbed his glasses off the floor and put them on he seen what hit him. He just stared for a moment not quit sure if what he was seeing was real.
"I am so sorry," came a slightly familiar sounding voice "I didn't even see you there and then I ploughed into you, and then, oh now I'm rambling."
Harry just stared at her for a moment. She was about sixteen years old and had bright bubblegum pink hair that was spiked. "Its no problem." Harry said as he got himself off the floor.
The young witch smiled and blushed as she looked at the floor. "My name is Nymphadora Tonks, but if..."
Harry didn't even allow her to finish as he spoke. "Don't worry Tonks I wont call you by your first name I know how much you hate it."
Tonks just looked at Harry for a moment a really confused. "How did you? Who are you?"
Harry looked at her for a moment. "Sorry Tonks I can't explain right now. I really need to find Professor Dumbledore."
Harry was about to take off but what he heard next made him stop in his tracks and an expression of horror come to his face. "Professor Dumbledore is dead!" Shouted Tonks as Harry began to leave.
Harry turned around and looked at Tonks. "What? When? How?"
Tonks just looked at him for a moment. "I am not sure where you're from, but I know your not from around here. Albus Dumbledore was killed four years ago by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."
Harry fell to the floor as a tear rolled down his cheek. How could Dumbledore have been killed? How could he have lost to Voldemort? "How!" Harry shouted through his clenched teeth.
Tonks knelt down beside him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I will tell you, but then you have to answer my questions deal?" Harry just nodded unable to bring himself to speak. "Dumbledore along with some Order member and some Aurors went to fight You-Know-Who. He had become really powerful and they tried to bring him and his Death Eaters to justice. However they were ambushed them and didn't stand a chance against them. They were all killed in that bloody ambush."
Tonks jumped to her feet and stood in front of Harry once more. "Now its your turn. Who are you and where did you come from? Also how did you know Albus Dumbledore?"
Harry stood up trying to conceal his sadness. "I am Harry Potter and".
Harry didn't even get to finish talking as Tonks exploded on him. "How dare you! I was honest with you and now your going to lie to me like this!"
Harry took a step back with a shocked expression on his face. "I am telling you the truth Tonks I am Harry Potter."
Before Harry even knew what hit him Tonks slapped him across the face. "How dare you! Everyone knows that Harry Potter died as a baby eight years ago on this every day!"
Tonks went to hit him again but this time Harry caught her and pulled her into a bear hug. "Listen to me Tonks. I am not from this world and if you give me a bloody minute to explain you will see I am telling the truth. How else would I have known that you don't like your first name?"
Tonks calmed down as Harry left go of her. "Fine start talking." Truthfully she was wondering how he knew she didn't like her first name.
"It all started a few days ago." Started Harry and began explaining to her about the different worlds he had been to. Then he pulled out his timer. "This is the timer I use to get to the different worlds. With each new world I get to I find that I have some new challenge I must over come."
Tonks just stared at him in amazement as he continued to tell her all about what he had been put through. She didn't speak again until she was sure he was finished with his story. "That is an amazing story Harry, but I am afraid this world is going to be the biggest challenge than you have faced so far."
Harry looked at the floor because he knew this world was going to be rough. Especially since he died on it meaning Voldemort had eight long years to gather his forces and gain more power. "How bad is it?" Harry asked not even really wanting to know how bad it truly was.
"With Dumbledore dead." Tonks began and then paused as a tear rolled down her cheek. "With the most powerful wizard gone the forces of light have really taken a dire hit. With so many Order members killed it has been a real up hill struggle. Not to mention that a lot of Aurors have been killed as well. The few Order members and the surviving Aurors have all come here to use Hogwarts as their last refuge. However it doesn't seem likely that this place will last long either. Already the dark forces are moving closer to Hogsmeade than anyone cares to admit. It will only be a matter of days before they actually get here. When they do this will probably be the last place anyone will want to be."
Harry vowed to himself that if the fight came to Hogwarts before he left that he would be ready to face off against Voldemort. He had done it at the end of fifth year in the Department of Mysteries and would do it again if needed. "If I am here he will regret attacking this place and killing Dumbledore!"
Tonks just looked at him, not really sure if she believed all he had told her or not. "I don't know if you would even be able to take him on. He is really powerful and a lot of great people have died."
Harry drooped his head as he thought about all the people who had died. "I know a great many have died and a few more have died on worlds I been too. Though he is powerful I will do what I can to stop him or at least slow him down."
Tonks placed an arm on his shoulder. "Come on Harry we better get to the Great Hall before people think that something happened to me."
Tonks dragged Harry off to the Great Hall. As they entered Harry seen that there were quit a few people there that he knew. Alastor Moody, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Filius Flitwick, Rubeus Hagrid, Severus Snape, and others that he didn't recognize right off. Then he looked over from that group and seen Arthur, Charlie, Bill, Percy, Fred, and George Weasley standing off to the side.
Kingsley Shacklebolt came over towards them as they stood in the doorway. "Nymphadora where have you been and who is this?"
Tonks looked at Kingsley but remained silent. Harry could tell that she hated the fact that he was using her first name. Kingsley kept staring at Harry with an unrelenting stare.
"I am Harry Potter." Said Harry and he could see Kingsley's face screwed up into an unimpressed expression.
Kingsley just glared at him for a minute. "You can't be him!"
Harry now feeling his rage and hurt return exploded yelling loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear him. "I know you believe Harry Potter is dead and on this world he is! However I am not from this world! Damn I am sick and bloody tired of explaining myself on every bloody world I go to!"
There was a dead silence in the Great Hall as everyone just stared at Harry. Then Harry could hear the familiar clunking sound of Alastor Moody's wooden leg making its way towards him. Moody examined him with his magical eye for several seconds and then turned to Kingsley. "For some reason I believe him. Though I am not one to really trust anyone. However there is something about him that tells me he is on our side."
Tonks had managed to find her voice by time Moody had finished. "Yeah he is here to help and from what he told me he might be able to stop You-Know-Who!"
Moody shot Tonks a glare with his good eye. "Cool it girl and go sit down."
It took Harry a good half hour to explain in detail everything that had happened to him over the past few days. Everyone sat around as he spoke in silence taking in every last word of what he had to say. When he finished he figured that Snape didn't believe him as well as a few others, but he didn't care. He knew what he was telling them was the truth and it didn't matter what they thought.
There was still a silence for minutes after he finished and Moody finally broke it. "I think it is time for everyone to turn in for the night. Kingsley and I will take first watch everyone else get some sleep."
Tonks jumped up and grabbed Harry by the arm. "Come on mate you can stay in Gryffindor House with me and the Weasleys."
Tonks had practically pulled his arm off pulling him to the portrait of the fat lady, only stopping momentarily for her to say the password. After the fat lady move she pulled him in the rest of the way until they got into the common room.
Finally Harry pulled himself away from her. "Thank you Tonks but I am sure I could have walked here without having my arm pulled out of socket."
Tonks just snorted as she looked at him. "Fine then I will see you in the morning." With that said Tonks stormed off up the stairs into the girls' dormitory. Harry would have followed her to apologize for his rudeness but he knew the stairs would not permit him to. So he decided to wait until the next day to do it.
It took a couple of hours for Harry to finally get to sleep as the Weasley twins kept him awake asking him questions long into the night. Harry probably would not have gotten any sleep if Arthur had not told his sons to shut up and go to sleep.
The next three days Harry spent in the Room of Requirements with Tonks who had decided she wanted to see what he was up to. He had made all sorts of books to appear to help him in learning new spells and better ways to fight. When it came time for him to face Voldemort again he wanted to be ready for anything.
On the final day he was stuck on this world Harry and Tonks were once again found in the Room of Requirements. Harry had just found a book called "Tesi Shun Lotos by Leonardo Matrix." Harry had just got the book opened and began to read it as he heard loud shouting outside the door.
"You-Know-Who is coming! His Death Eaters are closing in on the castle." Came a voice from outside the door.
Harry quickly shrunk the book and placed it in his pocket. "Lets go Tonks!"
Harry and Tonks made their way out of the room and ran down the Entrance Hall. As they made their way in they seen that everyone was surrounding the main doors to the castle.
Moody stood with wand in hand. "They will be here any second. Everyone be on guard."
Harry pulled out his wand and then his timer to see how long he had left. He was shocked when he seen what it said "00:04:41". He thought to himself 'damn he would wait till I was ready to leave.'
No sooner did Harry get the timer back in his pocket as a group of Death Eaters came through the doors. There was a wave of stunner sent at the Death Eaters by the light forces, but the Death Eaters dodged them with no problem.
Harry held his wand firm in his hand as he unleashed a wave of spells at the Death Eaters. "Deferentio Minitrao, Dementorcy, Electisilisi, Reducio, Protego!"
The Death Eater that the Deferentio Minitrao curse was headed for blocked it, but could not block the Dementorcy curse. Instantly he began to feel the effects that were normally associated with that of a Dementor. As his happy thoughts were being drained out of him he was electrocuted by the Electisilisi curse that struck him dead one. Another Death Eater was dodging another curse when he was accidentally struck by the Reducio curse in the shoulder. He screamed out in pain as his shoulder began to shrink in size.
Harry was doing his best to block the spells flying at him and before he knew it everything went silent. Everyone grew silent as Voldemort entered the castle looking at everyone. "The last of the light will go out tonight." Voldemort said in a hissing voice as looked at everyone.
Harry watched in horror as Arthur Weasley was struck in the back by the Avada Kedavra curse. Harry became enraged and aimed his wand at the back out of the Death Eater who had just killed Arthur. "Acidica Mentala!" A stream of acid left his wand and nailed the Death Eater right in the back. As he fell Harry heard the voice of Draco Malfoy as he fell to the floor screaming.
Harry pulled out his timer again checking it "00:00:31". Harry began to pull back and seen Tonks limping near him. She had been hit in the leg by a curse and there was blood flowing from the gash in her robes. Harry hit the button and the vortex opened in front of him. He grabbed Tonks and shoved her through it and then went to jump in himself. However as he did he heard a Death Eater shout "Flammere Ioblous!" As Harry heard it he felt the fire burn against his clothes and head as he fell limply through the vortex. He has been struck in the back of the head by a fireball spell as he went to leave. The vortex closed behind him seconds after he fell through it.
A/N: Well that's it for this world. Everyone is going to hate me though because it is a cliffhanger ending. Also next chapter will take place on Earth Prime so you have to wait till Chapter 14 to find out what happens! Ok bring on the flaming!
