2nd September, 1995
Harry was slowly awoken the next morning at 4:30, thanks to his personal alarm clock.
'It wasn't my fault, you dunderhead Gryffindork!'
'So it wasn't your fault that that snake suddenly came after me, after you started hissing at it and gesturing at me?'
'It was a millennia ago! Get over it already!'
'Will you two keep it down? It's bad enough being woken up at this time, but you two bickering like little old ladies with handbags is just pathetic.'
They fell silent.
'Thank you. Now, you two get into your body forms and get over to Black Manor. I'll be over in a minute once I get ready.'
The two left his mind, and he climbed out of bed, stealthily pulling on his Order robes, boots and gloves, and picking up and adjusting his weapons, before he grabbed his pendant.
He vanished silently.

1st October, 1995
The month of September flew by, with few points making it stand out, bar perhaps the assembling of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team, with Seamus and Dean the selected Beaters, Ginny as Seeker, Ron as Goalkeeper and Harry, Katie and Natalie McDonald as Chasers.
Also, his looks had once again changed (although he controlled it with his Metamorphamagus skills, to keep it the way it was before), he had gotten back Sirius, his mum and dad back once again (that had been the high-point of the month by far), and, much to Harry's amusement, he had also started to produce a few subtle pranks, with several helpful hints by his dad and Sirius.
Another point of the month was whenever he gathered Ron, Hermione and Ginny, about the possibility of starting a band up, which had been a big hit with them all, and they had started to practice a few songs every night in Harry's trunk.
However, it was on the first of October, as Harry had been planning and preparing for, the day of the attack on Diagon Alley.
Luckily for all involved, it was a Sunday, and Harry had spent the morning with Ron and his tactics department, consisting of Ron, Ginny, Justin, Anthony Goldstein, Andrew Kirke, Seamus Finnegan and Dean Thomas, pouring over a large map of Diagon Alley.
When question to how he knew if there would be an attack, he simply tapped his scar.
No more questions were asked.
At three o'clock, Harry felt a jab in his scar, and he stood before the three Units.
"It's time for your first Battle." He stated simply. "It will not be easy to kill and hurt. It will not be easy to fight heartless murders in masks of fear. But it is something that we must do, that we have to do. The Order will not arrive for a while, so we must move quickly and save all we can.
"You all know your Units and pairs, you all know what you must do. Thestral, take portkey one, Griffin, portkey two, Unicorn, portkey three. All Units ready…and good luck."
The thirty-four Battle-ready warriors vanished.
1234567890
The Units had transported to different areas of the Alley.
The Thestral Unit had appeared in a hidden alley beside the Leaky Cauldron, where the brunt of the attack was taking place.
The Griffin Unit was further up the Alley, near Gringotts and Knockturn Alley (where no attack ever took place).
The Unicorn Unit was based at the end of the Alley, beside Ollivander's.
Harry felt a cold chill take him from his place behind the dustbin, and he swore.
Dementors were approaching.
Apparently, Voldemort, for some reason, wanted a larger-scale attack than last time. And it seemed that he had at least a hundred Dementors…and several hundred Death Eaters.
'Snidget, this is Lioness, Eagle-Eye reports one hundred and five Dementors closing in and that they should be in our location within half-an-hour. Currently, we have ninety-seven Death Eaters. Apparently, the brunt is in our area, and the least near Unicorn.'
Lioness was Ginny, who was currently further down the alley.
'Thanks Lioness. Lioness, Bear, Moose, organise your troops and get moving. All troops, prepare to engage into Battle situation. Offensive until further ordered. Roger?'
'Roger' were the three joint replies of Ginny, Neville and Luna, and Harry nodded at Hermione, his partner, before getting his sword in one hand, his wand in another, and jumping out and started slashing and cursing his opponents while back to back with Hermione.
"Coniugo!" Harry shouted flicking his wand, causing a Death Eater to be bound tightly in thick rope. Another Death Eater fell over him.
'Bear, Moose, how are your Units doing?' Harry shouted in his mind, rolling under Hermione who jumped over him, and started shooting spells in the opposite direction.
'Bear here. We're going well, although Angelfish is currently hurt. Snail is healing her as we speak.'
Padma Patil hurt, and being healed by Daphne Greengrass.
'Same here, Snidget, although we've had another influx of Death Eaters, and they're not afraid to use the Unforgivables…no AK's, but Crucio definitely. None of our people have been hit though.'
'Augurey here, another Unit have apparated in beside the Leaky Cauldron, near me and my group. Should we take them out, General?'
The Augurey was known as the Irish Phoenix, very fitting for Seamus Finnegan, Harry had thought.
'How many are there, Major?'
'A half dozen, General.'
'Proceed with caution, but take them out if you can. Use your machine guns if you need to.'
'Roger, General.'
The Battle was getting even fiercer, and those civilians who were fighting were slowly falling, although many were being healed and protected by the Dragons.
One Death Eater came in close to Harry, and he nailed him with an elbow to the head, also shooting his pistol in between the Death Eater's eyes.
He never stood a chance.
Harry and Hermione were doing very well, having taken out at least a dozen Death Eaters out themselves. However, just as the Battle slowly started to fall in their favour, the Dementors came.
Harry had felt them before they had arrived, because of his sensitive reaction to them, and he felt his staff arrive in his hands at his call.
He heard Hermione's gasp, but ignored it, swiftly taking out the Death Eaters in front of him with a quick swipe of the magnificent weapon before stepping forward.
'Patronus Unit! I need you by the Leaky Cauldron ASAP…they are coming in quickly…they'll be here in a few seconds.'
Hermione, Ron, Neville, Fred, George and Alicia rushed to him, and they stood by his side.
"Only cast whenever I say." He said calmly, using his machine gun to take out a few lingering Death Eaters.
Before they could nod, a swarm of Dementors came towards them.
Twenty metres.
Ten metres.
Nine metres.
Eight metres.
Seven metres.
Six metres.
Five metres.
"NOW!" Harry bellowed, and raised his staff, his eyes being licked by emerald flames as he followed it with "EXPECTO PATRONUM!"
Six other shouts were heard, and six beautiful shining animals, not completely corporal, shot forward. None of them were used to the Dementors, after all.
His own shout, the final shout, produced a shining Moony, Padfoot and Prongs, large and shining silver, golden fires surrounding them as they charged, running through the Dementors.
Inhuman shrieks filled the air as they quickly went away, however, those touched by the silver prongs of Prongs, the paws of Padfoot or the snout of Moony were evaporated into a black mist, before vanishing, their cloaks and grey, scaly skin disappearing completely.
Satisfied, he turned to face the gaping, cloaked faces of the Patronus unit.
"Not a word of that to anyone." He said shortly, before jumping back into the Battle.
Hermione ran after him, being his partner, while the others stood stock still for a second before returning to the Battle, and their Units, themselves, slashing and shooting spells quickly and expertly.
However, Fate sprung another surprise. Nothing was ever too easy.
'You-Know-Who has arrived, Snidget. He's coming from your end. And the Order has arrived, including Dumbledore.'
'Got it. Thanks, Lioness.'
He glanced at Hermione, and she kept his back as he charged forward, finding Albus stepping towards Voldemort himself. Harry cut in front of him, Hermione standing back slightly. Voldemort was Harry's, and he wouldn't allow anyone else to fight him.
The man's dark, serpentine features were clear, and he was watching in obvious amusement of the destruction. He was even more amused whenever a figure in blue robes cut in front of Albus Dumbledore. He was obviously part of this elite team that was taking apart his Death Eaters…decimating would be a better word.
The figure strode forward calmly and confidently.
Harry was trying to ignore the stabbing pain his scar.
"Hello, Tom." Harry said calmly. "I am the Dragon General of the Order of the Dragon. You can call me Snidget."
Voldemort looked upon him as he so calmly addressed him, and smirked, deciding to for-go the calling of his name for the time being.
"Snidget." He said calmly. "It is a pleasure to meet you. I am rather surprised at the efficiency that you are leading your Army, and you would be most welcome within my ranks…and those in your Army."
Harry had expected something like this, but it was still a shock.
"You would know better than to ask me if you knew…" He left it hanging, knowing it would infuriate him.
"But I think I'll pass for now. After all, you are a Half-Blood, psychopathic murderer."
Voldemort lost his calm appearance and as fast as lightning had brought out his wand and had shot an Avada Kedavra.
Harry, whose staff had appeared in hand once again, dodged it, and started shooting off rapid spells of his own.
The Battle had begun.
Those around them watched in amazement as the two fought, spells of many colours leaving their wands/staffs in seconds.
Harry was thankful he had put so much effort into getting fit, and was grudgingly thankful to Salazar for putting them through those gruelling runs in the mornings, or he was sure he would have been tired out by now.
He was going strong.
"You know, Tommy, this is rather pathetic for someone who wants to take over the world." Harry mocked, dodging a Cruciatus and shooting off a similar spell, although it was not classified as an Unforgivable, it was close.
Salazar had also taught Harry the Dark Arts. It was good to know what your enemy used, and what such thing was Dark and Light arts anyways?
Voldemort was enraged and started shooting spells faster.
Harry rolled his eyes.
For a Slytherin, it was way too easy to push his buttons.
Harry's staff vanished, and he dodged several spells before pulling out his sword.
"How about we duel like men?" He asked calmly.
Voldemort, in reply, summoned a sword, clearly of Slytherin, and they ran towards each other, swords at the ready, clashing quickly.
Harry was a natural with a sword, which showed clearly whenever he gained the upper hand against the serpentine Lord.
"Who are you?" He hissed as Harry held back his pushing.
"I said that you could call me Snidget, Tom. But I guess, just for you, you can call me the Boy-Who-Lived-to-kick-your-arse."
Voldemort was so surprised that Harry managed to hit him again.
"Although we wouldn't want anyone else to know that, would we?" Harry continued sadly. "You are bound by the scar on my head and on your back from that night. No information about this can be told to anyone, or communicated. You can of course call me Snidget, or Dragon General, but nothing more. Goodbye, Tom."
Harry calmly snapped his fingers, and every member of the Order of the Dragon, who had decimated the Death Eaters (trying to kill as little as possible) vanished, Harry catching sight of a bound Peter Pettigrew before he too disappeared, as did the Dark Lord and his remaining minions.
He did not notice, once again, the questioning look of Albus Dumbledore following him.

I'm going on holiday for the next few weeks, just to let you know, hence why this chapter is shorter than usual. I'll try and have the next one up ASAP, before I go if possible, but just incase not, here's Chapter 6 for you all.
Thanks for your reviews.
