AN: Alright! This is the chapter that you all have been waiting for!!! And because it answers a few questions from the reviews, the answers to the reviews are at the bottom of the page!!! Enjoy!!!!

"Thank you" He said quietly, as he closed the book. He placed the two new books on his bedside table before turning around and wrapping his arms around his friend.

"No problem" She whispered back, knowing exactly what he was thanking her for.

Chapter 18

When it all falls down

More time passed, and winter came alone with mass snowball fights and outdoor survival games. Harry had moved from his room to share with Jamie, now that the two mutants had better control over their powers, and Harry didn't mind the company. He also had been helping Moyra with her magic, teaching her what he remembered from Hogwarts, to which Both sisters were grateful.

"Do you think, if your ever cleared, you'd go back?" Ana had asked him once. He hadn't answered right away, and thought about it for the rest of the day. What would it be like? He didn't know for sure if his friends had turned on him, at least not Ron and Hermione. Sure they had testified, but not completely against him. So they could still be his friends right? But then there was the fact that in that world he was famous. Everyone knew him and yet no one really did. The more he thought about it though, he decided that it didn't really matter, as he had no physical proof to offer. So he left the question unanswered.

Soon Christmas was upon them again, and most of the students prepared to make the trip back to their homes. Last Christmas Harry had felt like he was back at Hogwarts, with everyone leaving but him. But Ana and Moyra were staying as well, not having any family to go visit, along with Scott, Rogue, Dr. McCoy and of course the Professor.

This year, it seemed, was going to be the same. Harry said his goodbyes and Merry Christmases to his friends before they left. Kurt was heading back to Germany and wouldn't be returning until the new year.

"I expect e-mails! I never get any e-mails!" Said Ana as she hugged her friend goodbye.

"I promise, one e-mail a night! For both of you! Don't get to bored without me!" He shouted from the car.

"Hey maybe we can sleep in now!!!" She shouted back. She laughed as the cars pulled away. Harry couldn't laugh though, he had this horrible feeling. He wanted to run after the cars, call them back, but he shrugged the feeling off, believing it to be him missing his friends over the holiday.

"Come on Jack! Lets go throw stuff at you and see if you can catch it!" Moyra cheered and ran off to get her wand. It had been completely by accident that they had made a discovery, which is how most great discoveries are made. Moyra had been practicing her spells in the rec room one day, with Harry sitting in one of the armchairs writing in his journal, when she had accidentally missed the target that had been made for her and the spell had gone zooming towards Harry. He had of course sensed it coming, another thing he had gained with his powers. Without time to both figure out what curse had been said and to cast the counter curse, he held up his hands to shield his face, and waited for the spell to hit. And waited.

He looked up and to his amazement, saw the curse, or the magic from the curse floating in his hand. It was different from the raw magic he could produce, it was thinner and had a lower hum to it. Moyra was looking at his with shock and awe. "Why didn't you tell us you could do that!"

He turned and faced the target, throwing the magic at it. "I didn't know." He answered. He later went to the professor to tell him about his newfound powers.

"I believe its just your powers growing. Before no one knew about your abilities because they were able to vent through your use of magic with a wand. Now that you have been putting your abilities to use, they are going to grow and become stronger. This may just be one of those growths." He had explained.

Since then Ana and Moyra had been testing the limits of this new ability by randomly throwing curses or jinx's at him, to see if he could catch them. He noticed though that the stronger and more complex the curse, the harder it was for him to handle it.

So, with the excuse that it was like a muscle and needed to be exercised, The girls took every opportunity to hex him.

Christmas at the Institute was strange. It was so quiet in the mansion that it was unnerving. So The mutants that were left took every opportunity to go out into town. They visited the Brotherhood of course, and although Lance was a little depressed from Kitty being away, the rest were glad to see them, as long as they brought the Christmas cookies of course.

Ana and Harry also looked forward every night to receive their e-mail from Kurt. He would write about what he had done that day, and they were glad he could be with his family.

But Christmas eve, Ana and Harry waited for Kurts E-mail, but it never came. They speculated that he was probably celebrating with family and had simply forgotten. They turned of Ana's computer, and went downstairs to listen to Hank read the The Christmas Carol, and all the while Harry couldn't rid himself of the awful feeling in his gut.

The next morning the mutants inside the institute woke late, exchanged gifts, fooled around, and basically had a good time. Harry put the new heat lamp he got in Ka's tank, who thanked him before curling up under it. After, Ana and Harry had been planning on visiting the brotherhood, and went off to find moyra who would like an opportunity to get out side.

Suddenly they heard the girl's yells from the rec room, shrieking their names. Running as fast as they could they bolted down the hallways and bounded in the room searching for the threat. But there was no threat, just Moyra standing infront of the TV, with the news on. They heard running behind them and turned to see Rogue and Scott rushing into the room.

"Whats goin' on?" asked a bewildered Rogue.

Moyra turned to look away from the TV, tears in her eyes. Ana grabbed her and wrapped her in a comforting hug, asking again what was wrong. The rest looked to the television, which was doing a recap of the report. "and For those who are just joining us now, a terrible massacre in a small German town shook the world this morning. Late last night an unknown terrorist group attacked the small village of Vergeben, killing half the population. Officials are scrambling-"

"Oh mah gawd! That's Kurt's Village!" cried Rogue. Scott turned around and ran from the room, probably to search for the professor, with Harry running behind him. They found him and Logan heading toward the Hangar.

"Scott, Logan and I are heading to Vergeben. I cant find Kurt with cerebro. Hopefully we can discover what happened there. Until then I need you to stay here with the others, no one is to go out, and keep an eye on the defense systems."

"Do you think it was people who are against mutants? Why would they kill half the village?"

"I don't know who it was Scott, but we will find out." With that the two older men boarded the blackbird, and Harry and Scott left to inform the others what was happening.

The following hours were the most horrible Harry could remember having since arriving at the institute. Just sitting and waiting, answering phone calls from the other students who had seen the report, and then going back to waiting. Dr. McCoy had joined them soon after the professor had left and they brought food into the Rec room, so they could eat together in there, none of them wanting to leave the others alone. It wasn't until late at night that the Professor returned along with Logan, both looking grim.

Moyra had fallen asleep before their return, and Ana placed her in their room before returning to hear what had been found.

The Professor sat in his chair, not looking too pleased, which only distressed them all the more. The very thought that something had happened to their fuzzy elf… it was to painful.

"When we arrived in Vergeben, the village was chaotic." He began, "We first searched for Kurt's home, and found his parents alive, but they had no idea where their son was. They told us that last night they heard the screams, and though they had told Kurt to stay with them, he had teleported out to try and help. They haven't seen or heard from him since. After we decided to try and see if any of the survivors had seen him in the village during the attack. What we found was most disturbing. All the survivors, any who had seen the attacks, had a block on their memory."

Silence filled the room as the occupants searched for reason why the town would have their memories blocked. "Mastermind?" asked Scott, while Rogue quietly explained to Harry that he was a mutant with the power to alter the minds and memories of people.

"That is what I first thought, but after pushing past the block, and seeing what really happened, I believe this has become larger than Magneto and his men." He paused, glancing worriedly at the two wizarding children in the room. With a sigh he continued. "In the memories I found, I saw above the houses that had been destroyed, a floating skull, with a snake protruding from its mouth."

Again silence filled the room, and Harry felt his heart constrict painfully. "Voldermort." He whispered.

(I was going to stop it there so be happy that I didn't!!!)

The professor looked sorrowfully at him and nodded. "From what I gathered, Kurt tried to help people escape from their homes, but was caught by Voldermort's men. He was captured, and taken away."

"Captured?" came Ana's voice suddenly, "What do you mean captured? Voldermort doesn't capture."

"From what I saw though the memories of the survivors, it would seem as though he does. At least he did last night. As soon as Kurt had been taken away, the Death Eaters disappeared. Soon after other Wizards came and placed the memory spells on the survivors and made it look like a terrorist attack."

"You think they had come for Kurt?" asked Harry, dreading the answer.

"Yes, I do. Now, I believe that its been a long day, and I would like you all to at least try and get some rest. I am going to try and see if I can get a glimpse of Kurt's signature with cerebro." With that, the weary telepath wheeled out of the room to search for his student.

Scott stood up, "Alright, we might as well try and get some sleep, tomorrow we'll start looking for ways to rescue Kurt." His voice sounded hollow, and Harry knew that if he were to speak, he wouldn't sound any different. Slowly they filed out and left into their respective rooms.

Harry didn't go to bed though, no he went to get his photo album from his bookshelf, sat by his window and looked from page to page of the images of Kurt, Ana and himself.

'Well, we knew this was going to happen' Said an almost forgotten voice. 'I told you when we got here. I warned you, and now your best friend is in the hands of Voldermort. Probably dead by now. But not before torture of course.'

'Shut up, we didn't know, we would have done something!' he hissed back, wounded by the words.

'But you did know! You knew because we always hurt the ones we love. Look at your parents! Now Kurt! Ana's next of course, or even James? They will suffer because you couldn't take the facts! You kill people! Not by your own hand but by your presence! Soon they will all see, and they'll throw you out, with good reason to! They don't deserve what you do to them!'

'No, I have to leave.. I cant let them get hurt.. I have to leave!' With that thought He ran to grab a bag from his closet and began to stuff it with clothes and other necessities. He was so busy in his rushed state that he didn't even notice the figure in his doorway.

"Where will you go?" came her voice.

Harry turned to face her, his face set. "I can't stay here, I'll just get the rest of you hurt, I cant put you in any more danger…" He babbled as he continued to stuff his bag.

She stormed up to him and ripped the bag from his grip. "You selfish idiot! You think this is about you!?!"

"Why else would he attack Kurt!?! Its My FAULT!"

"Do you think Voldermort is that uninformed?" Her words stopped his, "You actually think that this is some way to get at you!?! Do you not even read the papers that I brought here for you? The wizarding world knows about mutants Harry! And Voldermort probably is looking at us as a new kind of weapon! Kurt was popular all over because of the circus he was in, and Voldermort only had to hear about it to hunt down where he lived. Imagine having a servant that can apperate anywhere, even into Hogwarts! Only one little impirio and Kurt is his. He'll.. he'll be gone and we'll nev-" She broke off with a sob. Startled Harry stepped forward and quickly offered his friend a hug, to which she threw herself into. "Please don't leave too, I cant loose you as well." She whispered.

Harry only Hugged her tighter, and inside one of his voices died. He couldn't leave this. They had given him everything, and he would do everything to return the favor. 'you'll never belong if you always run away' He said to himself, echoing Logan's words from so long ago.

"We're going to find him," He whispered determinedly, "We'll find him and we're going to bring him home."

AN: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Kurt is now in the Hands of Voldermort! What will Harry do?

Oh and there is a question I need to ask you guys. I would really appreciate feedback on this. What do you guys think about fics where Harry isn't human. Not like a vampire of anything, not a dark creature but a magical creature?
