Chapter 6

Having still bathed in light and a Phoenix on his shoulder formally know as his headmaster, it was too much for Harry and he passed out. There was another flash of light and the Phoenix appeared on Hermione shouldered perched with his head cocked to the side, as if to look worried. The room seemed to glow an ominous grey and blue and it seemed like the room had disappeared and the group was now standing amongst the stars, the only light being the sparkling stars and Harry still being bathed in colors of blue, green, and white light floating in the middle of the heavens. Then a voice spoke, it was the most magnificent sound ever to be heard. The Voice seemed to fill the group with tremendous hope, and with a sense of nothing bad could ever happen again.

"HARRY POTTER, AWAKEN! THE TIME HAS ARRIVED FOR YOU TO TAKE UP YOUR MANTLE OF PEACE AND JUSTICE AS MY GUARDIAN."

Harry now only surrounded by the purest of white light.

"I am, and always will be. I am purest of the pure. I AM MAGIC!"

The light started swirling around Harry very fast.

"I NOW BESTOW UPON YOU THE GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE. USE THIS POWER TO RESTORE THE BALANCE OF POWER BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL. TOM RIDDLE HAS MOVE TO THE ULTIMATE DARKNESS. THIS DARKNESS ALLOWS HIM TO USE MY POWER TO DESTROY AND PERVERT LIFE INTO EVILS THAT THE UNIVERSE HAS NOT SEEN. SEEK OUT PEACE, AND DELIVER OUT JUSTICE."

The room came back into focus. The light disappeared. And Harry floated back down to the pedestal. Hermione, Petunia, and Griphook had a look of pure awe and wonderment on their faces. Harry strode over to Griphook. He walked with a grace befitting his station of king. Hermione, Petunia, And Griphook were compelled to fall to one knee.

"Arise, my friends. I am still the same Harry Potter. You need not ever bow to me. Now Griphook we must start at once. I need to speak with the counsel of goblins at once. Have them meet me in the ceremonial counsel Chamber in fifteen minutes."

Griphook bowed and hastily left the room.

Harry snapped his fingers, Dobby the House Elf appeared. "Harry Potter Sir, Summons Dobby?"

"Dobby I need you to gather the elders of the house elves immediately, I seek their assistance in struggle to come."

"Dobby wills do as the great Harry Potter says." With a loud, Crack. Dobby Disappeared.

Harry then turned to the Phoenix still perched on Hermione's shoulder. "Professor I need you to seek the elders of the phoenix tribes."

With a flash of light the phoenix was gone.

He then turned to the remaining of the group and spoke. "This is my fight, my duty, and my calling. I do not wish to be alone in this fight but I understand if you now wish to go about our different ways, the choice is yours."

Petunia stepped forward, "Harry, I know nothing of your world. I do not belong here. I know I have not treated you the way you should have been treated all these years. I do love you as if you were my own. Know that you will always hold a special place in my heart, and that if for what ever reason you should have always a place to go to if you should need it. He kissed him on his cheek and stepped back.

Harry's eyes seemed to glisten with tears; he took a broach from his pocket, cupped it between his hands and murmured something in a different language. There was a flash of light and he handed to his aunt.

"This will take you home to the sitting room of Privet Drive. If you should ever need me, Just hold it in your hand and call out my name and I will be there." He stepped forward and hugged her whispering "Goodbye, and Be safe" before she disappeared.

Harry looked to Hermione. She was worrying her bottom lip, tears in her Eyes. She leaped at him, embracing him in a hug. Crying softly she spoke, "Harry, I am not leaving the one person that completes me. I am so much in love with you why can't you see that. I have felt this connection between us since we first met."

Harry moved to disentangle himself from her and lifted her chin and looked her in the eyes and spoke, "I to have loved you, I do not wish to see any more of the ones I love to killed because of me. I have all of these powers, yet I feel that I can not be everywhere at once. It hurts me to know that I might not be there to protect you." He turned his head to look away from her.

"Oh, Harry" She exclaimed and turned his head to face him and she kissed him soundly on the lips. Harry felt his whole world caving in on him he did not want to leave this embrace. He knew he had to, he knew that this can't happen. He could not let it happen. Then her heard a voice in his mind 'embrace the feeling, my darling. This woman that you have holding in your arms is as much your destiny and Voldemort is Embrace it". The voice faded away. He wrapped his arms around Hermione, deepened the kiss. He felt his feet lift from the floor. They broke apart, Hermione gasped. He saw her bathed in the same golden light he was in mere moments ago. The light was so bright that he could no longer see her. A moment or two passed, but what seemed an eternity to him, the light diminished and Hermione was visible once again. Before she stood at a mere five feet, now she was five foot eight inches. Her bushy hair now a slick brown past the small of here back, she now had pointed ears. She was wearing an gown of shear elegance that hugged her every feature. On her head held a silver tiara. Harry was gob smacked. He could not think or talk.

He manages to finally utter, "My god, You are Simply Beautiful."

She smiles at him, "Now my king lets us work together to save our world."

With that she placed her arm in his and he disappeared.
