Note:

I wrote this story way back when I was young lad. I promptly forgot about it once school took over my free time. I recently received a "review update" from the fan-fiction bot and I went to re-read this old story. After reading, I realized that I actually had something cool going on with the characters and both the properties I was working with.5 years since the last update seems like a long time, and well, it is. Book 7 of Harry Potter is already in the works and many story ideas I've used in this story have been replaced with the canon vision of the 4th, 5th, and 6th books.

When I wrote this story, I had absolutely no idea of what I was doing, my grammar was consistently awful and there were many rudimentary mistakes. However, now that Book7 is on its way, the only way to continue this story and to give it justice would be to rewrite it, from the very beginning.

I plan on rewriting this story, including story points in all of all the previous books, some speculation of my own, and a healthy dose of crossover-ism.

Finally, I hope any of you who read this story5 years ago (not that there were many)and were looking forward to more will accept my apology for not coming up with my end of the bargain within a reasonable timespan.

-Chapter 1-
Necromancer

"Sooo, what are we going to do about potter?" A voice echoed in a dark musty stone room,
"Take him, he is still in his Infant stage..." Another voice pierced the darkness,
"Very wise, any longer, and he will be too attached to his parents..." A deeper voice murmured,
"When do we take him?" The 2nd voice asked through the darkness,
"Tonight, We must be ready by then..." The deep voice answered growing quieter as it spoke.

Present Day

Harry Potter awoke with a start. Harry then looked at the clock on the bedside table,
"ARG! I'm late for New Magical Studies Class!" Harry moaned as he pulled on his robes
"Why Does Professor Helix make the classes so early"' Ron said as he too pulled on his robes, Harry and Ron walked into the common room and out the portrait hole.
"Dang! Not even breakfast yet!" Ron said sleepily looking at his watch
"Where is Professor Helix's classes any way?" Said Harry as they reached the Entrance Hall
"Err... I think it's in Professor McGonagall's class room" Muttered Ron as they reached the classroom, And saw Hermione, Neville and Parvarti Patil
"Ah! Finally some more students!" Said Professor Helix said happily as they entered the room,
"There has only been three other students here!" Professor Helix said sadly
"Well no matter! First lesson should be... Ah! Yes! Does any one now what a Necromancer is? Anyone?" Professor Helix asked hopefully
"Nope" said everyone in unison shaking there heads
"None of you?" Professor Helix said disappointed
"Oh well I guess I have to tell you then" Said Professor Helix
"A Necromancer is a type of wizard that can do things normal wizards can't!" said Helix exsitedly
"Like what?" said Ron looking interested
"Like having the ability to bring back the dead to do his or hers bidding!" said Helix as he wrote something on his hand with his quill
"Cool!" said Ron as Helix continued to write
"Cool... is not the correct Idea... Bringing back the dead is a deadly and most of the time grueling business," Said Helix coldly
"Oooooh! But I thought no magic could bring back the dead?" Shuddered Parvarti Patil as she listened closely to Professor Helix as he gave a shudder of fright
"Ah! Because Necromancers were just discovered, as you probably know by now they try to keep themselves secret! And that's why most of the time Necromancers only summon skeletons to do there bidding" said Helix as he sat down behind his desk
"Why?" Asked Harry
"Why? Because bringing back dead zombies are a lot smellier then Skeletons!" Helix said Jokingly
"No Really!" He said as the class started snickering
Professor Helix went on and on about how Necromancers are very rare in the magical world.
"Oh Look at the time!" Helix said in amazement
"It's almost time for breakfast!" He laughed as the class gathered up their things.

"You know I think Professor Helix is quite okay!" exclaimed Ron as they left the classroom
"Necromancers are interesting aren't they?" Hermione said
"Yeah they are" Harry said as the reached the Dining Hall
"Mm! Porridge!" Exclaimed Seamus as he sat down at the Gryffindor table
"Guess What? We have good news and even more good news," said Fred and George in unison as they too sat down
"What?" Asked Ron as he settled himself
"Yeah, what?" Asked Harry
"Well... We were hoping that you would guess but here it is any ways," George said as he helped himself to some Porridge
"We got new teacher!" Exclaimed Fred
"Who is it?" Asked Hermione
"LUPIN!" Fred and George said in unison
"What? Lupin's Back?" Harry said amazed
"I thought He resigned" Ron said as he gazed at the staff table
"He did! But he's back!" Said Fred
Harry smiled as he saw Lupin sat down at the staff table
"And what's the really good news?" Asked Hermione
"Snape's not teaching Potions!" George said as he took a bite of toast
"Resigned last month!" Fred said pointing at the staff table
"What? Because of Voldemort?" Harry asked as Fred & George flinched when he said Voldemort's name,
"Err... No" said Fred
"He says he's leaving for a while, gone to straighten some loose ends with his family" Said George
"So who's Teaching Potions?" Asked Hermione
"Uh... It's some guy named Keinas... He's the new head of Slytherin for now..." Fred told Harry
"Oh! So that's who he is... Is it the guy sitting in Snape's place at the staff table?" Asked Ron
"Yep" Said George
"Have you met him?" Asked Hermione
"Yeah I had a run in, with him coming down here," Fred answered
"Is he nice? I mean nicer than Snape?" Asked Harry
"It sure seems so," George Exclaimed
"Whoa! He's talking with Lupin!" Said Ron surprised as he looked at the staff table.
They finally finished their breakfast and headed to the Entrance hall

"Hey Hermione what classes do we have this morning?" Asked Ron Tiredly
"Care of Magical Creatures," said Hermione not even blinking
"Still with Slytherins! Damn! Why can't they shove the Slytherins into another time zone?" Ron said annoyed looking at the timetable that Hermione was reading
They walked towards Hagrid's Cabin at the Edge of the Forbidden Forest
"Come on, were gonna be late!" Said Hermione now running
They finally reached Hagrid's Cabin
"Ya 'Arry!" said Hagrid excitedly
"Come Ere' 'Arry Ron, 'Ermione" Hagrid ushered them to the back of his cabin where there was a paddock were he kept the animals for the class
The rest of the class followed
Harry was amazed when he saw what was in the paddock
"AIEEE! DRAGON!" Screamed a Gryfindor who was obviously scared of Dragon's
"Don' Worry it's okay!" Hagrid Bellowed over the sound of screaming students
"It's a Harmless Japanese Plated Dragon!" Hagrid Finally told the class once they settled down
"How can it be harmless, it's dragon!" said Draco Malfoy in his usual drawl Crabbe and Goyle started snickering. Harry wondered when they would do something,
"Cause' it's friendly... Go on pet 'em!" Hagrid said daringly
Only Harry Ron and Hermione went up to the black scaly plated dragon that was breathing normally and it looked relaxed.
"Go on, pet it" Hagrid said happily
Ron reached out on touched the front of the Dragons head keeping on the side of the mouth the Dragon closed his Green eyes then practically purred as though enjoying it but it sounded like ten Lions purring.
"Cool!" exclaimed Seamus Finnagin as he saw the Dragon Flex his wings
"Yeah Ter' Great fer Flyin' too..." Bellowed Hagrid while the class was petting the Dragon...
After Care of Magical Creatures Harry, Ron and Hermione went up to Hagrid to ask how he got the Dragon,
"Cause' Dumbledore, trusted me with you guys, also... I this is going to be my last class for a while... Top-secret stuff ya' know, So I wanted to go out with a bang!" Hagrid said matter-of-factly, Harry's jaw dropped
"But- but, Why?" Harry asked flabbergasted
"Cause' well, I won' be around for awhile... don' worry Arry' I'll be back." Hagrid answered.

"Hey! That class was long, hey, how long until lunch?" Ron asked ignorantly
"Hmm..." Hermione answered

"Next up... Potion's!" Ron said in a little happier tone then usual
"Yeah... I want to meet Keinas" Harry said as they walked into Potion's Class
"Ah... Harry Potter nice to meet you!" said a voice from beside Harry
"Wha? Oh, hi!" Harry said turning around,
"My name is Keinas, though by the looks of things, I believe you already knew that." Keinas said walking into the classroom.
Harry and Ron walked in and sat down, and started to take out their books.
"Today, I've decided to do something easy for class," Keinas announced, Harry heard Neville sigh with relief.
"Though, its still a challenging potion... its a Merkaln Sleep Potion, just be careful when you put the ingredients into the cauldron, if anything splashes on you, well... I'll see you at dinner!" Keinas warned the class.
