Chapter Twenty One: A Mystery Unsolved
Rating: AA (which means, around here, 14 and up)
Couples: HP/HG, KB/RW/LL, NL/GW/DM, GW/DM/EM
Summary: Harry's last year at Hogwarts has finally come but that doesn't mean things will be any easier for him. After last year's horrifying events the school things that nothing worse could happen. They were all wrong. The prophecy resurfaces and is dangling in front of Harry, held up by the pain from the past, quite literally. As the world is slowly being morphed outside of the safety of Hogwarts the people inside it are finding out that they cannot hide for much longer and that time is as much their best friend now as it is their worst enemy. What is a person supposed to do when they know they have to face the most evil wizard in history and if they're killed then the rest of the world, magic and muggle is doomed?
Warning: More violence then last time. There are mentions of suicide, murder, rape, and sex (I don't go into details with that). There will also be fighting, cursing (and I don't mean spells) and gory stuff. For now the rating stays AA/PG-13 but later, towards the end, it might go up to R.

Heed this warning if you don't like death: there will be A LOT more deaths of characters you recognise from JKRs books and some original ones. If you thought I was cruel and brutal in the prequel to this then I don't know what you're going to think of me after reading this story.

Sequel to Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Originally I wanted Victor Krum to show up in this story but then I thought "everyone does that…it's too over used'. So I went ahead, deleted some chapters and yada yada and I'm pretty sure I'm done editing my notes for the fic so that means no more changes to the plot lines and everything will be explained very soon because…there's not much left to this.

By the way the beginning of this chapter is VERY random…like it jumps a lot!

VERY IMPORTANT: I've done the math in my head and although I have completed the very last chapter of this story it probably won't be done before the sixth book comes out like I had wanted it to be. Meaning I'll probably get inspiration from the book for a NEW story and this one will be a very very very slow update…if it is. So I'm working on ALL the chapters right now, not just individual ones…that's why there was a longer

"What lies before us and what lies behind us are tiny matters to what lies within us."

Dumbledore Takes Action

That's what the headlines read as the Christmas holidays at Hogwarts came to an end. Whispers about it echoed around the school.

The article was about Dumbledore attacking the Ministry. He had proof the Teather Dae was actually a Death Eater and on top of it that he was actually Lucius Malfoy. After much arguing with the Ministry, some curses thrown here and there, and finally, with a DNA spell, he was identified as Lucius Malfoy.

This took the magical world by shock. Many people refused to believe it at first but nearly every journalist wrote about it, so following the lead of every other year, the people believed the newspapers. This time though it was a good thing they did.

Soon the Dailey Prophet switched to a new titled. One that had even Dumbledore himself stumped.

Who will be the new Minister for Magic?

This would be the third Minister in the past two years. Never before in the magical history of England/Scotland had this happened! This send Professor Mathers on a history lesson about the past Ministers even though it definitely wasn't considered Ancient Magical History!

Kaylee sat outside on one of the cleared off steps, reading the newspaper article out loud, pausing to make fun of it once and awhile. This particular version of the "Who will be the new Minister for Magic?" was written by a certain girl named Cho Chang. It was a well written article like all her other ones but it also shared something else with them: her point of view was absolutely ridiculous!

After she was done reading the article Kaylee passed it along for the others to look at and took some owl treats out of her pocket to give to her new owl. She simply adored it! Whenever she didn't have her owl with her was when she was in class or half the time when she was with Ron. She had christened it Mystic and the name fit with it beautifully. Hermione often poked at Harry in a mocking voice, asking why he hadn't bought it for her. Athena would shoot her a dirty look on these days and turn away from her.

Luna sat a couple stairs away from Kaylee, the fact that Ron and the other girl were going out didn't seem to bug her anymore, and then again Luna was an accepting girl. She was more like how she used to be, airy and full of belief in many weird things. This was sort of a relief to everyone because they were starting to wonder who they were talking to when Luna was being her serious self.

The group, which consisted of Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville, Ginny, Kaylee, Dean, Seamus, Parvati, Lavender, Padma, Terry, Susan, Hannah, Ernie and Justin sat on the stairs and chattered cheerfully. Some of them sat on the left side of the stairs and others stood in front of them so they wouldn't block the right side. Suddenly a yell caught their attention.

Draco Malfoy stormed into view followed by Ebony Moon. The both of them looked positively fierce. Draco turned around on his heel and shouted, "Why are you following me!"

"I'm going back to the castle you fucking pansy!" she yelled back at him before storming by him. As she walked up the stairs past everyone else they all saw that she was crying and had a light bruise on her cheek. Draco watched her go then a few minutes later he walked by them calmly and headed towards the Slytherin common room.

Hermione gave Harry's arm a light tug and he nodded. They excused themselves from the group and Harry took out the Marauder's map, something he always had with him now a days.

"I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good," he whispered and tapped the parchment. They soon located Ebony in the Room of Requirement. When they got there they heard soft crying as they opened the room to see it looked like their old training room.

"Hey, are you alright?" Harry asked, not sure what to do.

The Slytherin girl sat on the floor with her back against the cold stone wall. Her knees were tucked to her chest tightly and she had her head between them.

Hermione walked over and knelt down in front of her before asking, "What happened?"

After calming down some Ebony looked up with red eyes and said, "He got mad at me because I wouldn't…well go all the way with him. I wanted to wait. He got so mad and…hit me. I was more mad then sad then but…"

Hermione got an angry look on her face and she said, "I can understand. Abuse is wrong. Sure Harry and I used to joke around in the morning with me pretending to abuse him, but it was usually just me jumping on him to wake him up. It wasn't real…but this is."

"I know, that's why I broke up with him. My dad abuses my mom, never me," she added quickly when seeing the look the two gave her, "No he never touches me at all. But I didn't want to be like her…I'd like to think I'm smarter then that."

"You are Ebony, you are," Hermione replied and gave the other girl a friendly hug.

Harry watched on and shook his head with a grin. It appeared to him that he didn't even need to be here, his loving girlfriend seemed to have everything under control.

Over the next couple weeks Draco Malfoy seemed to be everywhere. One person Harry noticed that he was constantly around when he thought no one was looking was a certain girl named Ginerva Weasley. It was that obvious at first and Harry was sure that he was the only one to notice, but soon Neville brought it up in a conversation, then Ron had a large rant about it, but he didn't do anything about it. Kaylee prevented Ron from charging at Malfoy. She thought of Ginny as one of her best friends and it took much of her will power not to mention her dislike for the situation to her. She had planned on doing it once but those plans were quickly diminished when Ginny happily came up to her and said she was glad that Kaylee was dating Ron because it kept him off her back, something that never seemed to happen before.

"You know, when Voldemort starts to get quiet and you really look at life at Hogwarts," Harry said one day, "It's like some giant, twisted soap opera."

"You watched soap operas?" Hermione asked with amusement.

"No! My aunt used to watch them all the time, but how can I not know what one is? I live in the biggest one I've ever seen!" he replied quickly and glanced dryly at Ron and Kaylee snogging in a corner.

As January rolled into February Hermione started to get anxious, she had already started making her traditional revision time tables for the exams. It took all the will power Harry had not to roll his eyes at her and mention that they were about four and a half months away.

Just to make her happy though he started going over things in the ULD meetings for the first half an hour before he went on with the meeting. It was annoying but everyone understood how Hermione Granger could get.

One evening, after their meeting was over, Harry sat in front of the Mirror of Erised just staring at it like he had been when Dumbledore caught him in first year. He saw himself sitting there without a scar on his head and he knew it was a wish to be normal, something he knew that would never happen.

He lurched forwards as a terrible headache racked his body. His hands pressed to his scar as he felt it start throbbing, something it had not done in awhile. He groaned angrily and felt like someone pressed a white hot wire to him. Tears blurred his vision and he felt a sick wave of joy pass over him before he passed out.

"Kingsley, do you have any idea how uncomfortable this is?" Tonks' voice whispered quietly as she, Kingsley, Remus and Alyssa slipped through the corridors of a large, eerie looking building. They had gotten though most of the halls easily enough but getting out the front door was a challenge. They were all crouching down in a side hallway, looking at the door.

"I know but how else do you expect us to get out safely," Kingsley shot back angrily.

"Calm down," Remus hissed warningly.

Harry looked down from the top of the grand staircase with confusion but a feeling of amusement and twisted joy arose in him when he saw the group and realized that they didn't know he was there. Slowly he started descending down the stairs. As he did he pulled out his wand and said, "This is a pleasant turn of events. To think my mission was to find out and destroy you but instead you come to me! You have no idea how much easier you've made this for me."

They reeled around after the first syllable left his mouth but none of them could get a spell out of their mouths before he yelled, "Crucio!"

The spell crashed into Tonks' who shrieked and fell to the ground.

"Glacius!" Alyssa yelled and a stream of freezing air shot out of her wand but Harry quickly dodged out of the way.

"ALYSSA! GET TONKS OUT OF HERE!" Kingsley yelled. It was obvious that he was the one in charge of the operation.

"I'm a front line Auror!" she yelled back, "I can handle this!"

"Maybe but Tonks can't! Get her out of here! That's an order!" he yelled back.

Alyssa hesitated but ran to the fallen woman, who was still wincing in agony. Tonks shook her head (which had her natural blackish-brown hair now) and stood up on her own and said, "No I'm fine." Her dull brown eyes looked positively livid as she stared at Harry.

The doors upstairs suddenly crashed open and about 10 Death Eaters rushed into the room.

"Get them!" Harry ordered and the attack started.

Tonks was moving a little slow but it was understandable, Alyssa, on the other hand was really impressive. She moved quickly and when she hit she hit hard. Remus was keeping his own easily; he had been through many battles before so this was nothing new. Kingsley, being an advanced Auror was fighting very well.

Harry didn't like this turn of events at all though. The Order members were easily outnumbered yet they were winning. He knew at that moment that Dumbledore was more aware of what was going on then they had thought.

He looked at the individuals and chose a target that he knew would set them back.

"Avada Kedavra!" he yelled and a bright emerald light flew from his wand. He looked on with a twisted satisfaction as his target fell to the floor…dead.

Looking sideways Harry saw his face…or rather the face of the body his was watching through. At first he thought it was Voldemort but what he saw made his blood run cold and anger explode in his mind.

He was staring at the reflection of Bellatrix Lestrange.

Harry sat up quickly. With a terrified look around he realized that he was in the hospital wing and it was clearly night time. The dream he had just lived through pounded in his mind as he swung his legs over the side of the white bed.

Madam Pomfrey came out of her office as she heard the bed squeak under Harry's weight and yelled at him as he quickly darted out of the hospital wing. Harry didn't care that the clothes he was in were in a terrible state or the fact that he had sweat running down his face and he looked as if he had seen a ghost, he just had to get to Dumbledore's office to see if his dream was real. He prayed that it wasn't, he didn't want it to be, but something inside of him screamed that it was true.

As he reached Dumbledore's office he muttered the password, out of breath and raced up the stairs. Luckily for him, Dumbledore was awake in his office and waiting for him with a curious face.

"There you are Harry; I was wondering whether or not you were able to escape from Madam Pomfrey. You gave us all quite a startle when we found you on the floor as if you were taking a seizure," Dumbledore said to him.

"Sir," he said as he panted, trying to get his breath back. He still didn't feel that well and it was all he could do after that mad dash down several floors to get there.

"Have a seat," Dumbledore said, gesturing towards the padded chair in front of his desk.

Harry quickly sat down and after a few moments of silence he said, "I had a terrible dream. I saw Tonks, Remus, Alyssa and Kingsley. They were on a mission. Tonks was injured badly from what I saw and someone died, I can't remember who. Did this really happen?"

Dumbledore's face got a sad look on it as he said, "Yes Harry, it has."

"Who?" was the only word the young man could get out as a sad look passed over his face. It didn't really matter who it was because he had been close to all of them.

"I'm sorry to have to tell you but Kingsley died at the hands of Bellatrix Lestrange," the old man replied sadly.

There were a few moments of uncomfortable silence before Albus Dumbledore asked, "How did you see these events? Like a normal dream or through someone's eyes? I didn't think Voldemort was there."

"He wasn't," Harry said, "I saw it through the eyes of Bellatrix."

Dumbledore got a thoughtful look on his face and said, "Interesting. Harry, have you been able to get into anyone else's minds? Like talk to them or hear their thoughts?"

"Yes," Harry said, "I've been able to do it for awhile."

"Curious," he said, "it would appear that your Occumancy became very advanced without any help. It would seem…"

"Seem what Professor?" Harry asked. For some reason he felt a large burst of respect in him for Dumbledore once again. It had been missing since the end of fifth year but it was back now. In all honest Harry felt a lot better with the trust in his Professor, it made it seem as if he wasn't the only one with the weight of the world on his shoulders.

"It would seem that you have your Aunt's gift," Dumbledore said slowly.

"My aunt?" he repeated slowly.

"Yes. Karmen Potter. She was very strong as Occumancy…very strong. She could read other people's mind and talk into them. It amazed me when I found out of course but the most shocking part is the lack of lessons she had. Never in her life had she had a single lesson on how to protect or project her mind."

"I had a couple…" Harry muttered.

"Yes and you also had your mind toyed at by Voldemort. The only thing that saved it was your emotions. It is my belief that had that not of happened then you wouldn't be able to do what you can now," Dumbledore said.

Harry looked at his hands for a minute. It was clear in his mind that he had more then only Gemma watching over him now. He was positive Karmen Potter had allowed him to have her gift.

"Is that why she was killed? I heard she died a year out of Hogwarts," he said suddenly.

"Yes. They wanted her powers for their own but she refused, and paid the consequences for it. I remember your father went on a rage for days," the old man said with a shake of his silver hair.

"Sir," Harry said after a moment, "Did Kingsley have any family?"

"His parents were killed in the first war, but yes, he had a younger brother," Dumbledore replied. There was along pause before he said, "Return to your dormitory Harry. You need the rest."

Harry nodded, feeling as if his mind started shutting down as it heard the word 'rest' and got up, walking to the door. Before he walked out and closed the wooden door behind him he looked back at Dumbledore and said, "Professor?"

"Yes Harry?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

"Thanks," he said before jetting down the staircase.

Dumbledore stared at the spot he had been for a few moments before smiling to himself and looking back at the letter he was writing to Kingsley's brother.

A small, pudgy man stumbled over the rocks in a small dark cave. His watery eyes looked around nervously and his breath was extremely heavy. Hundreds of little beads of sweat slid down his cheeks.

His small hands fumbled around for a minute as he placed his wand back into his pocket. In the process he tripped and fell onto the ground. A cloud of dirt and dust flew up in front of his face, causing him to choke and sneeze.

After wiping his watery eyes and his nose he continued walking down the sloping passages.

"What have you gotten yourself into now Peter?" he muttered to himself as he slipped down some slippery stones.

This small, pathetic looking man had been dubbed Peter Pettigrew when he was born. He had growing up with his mother in a small, broken down house on the outskirts of England. His father had left and lived in Canada with his older sister, Clara, when he was only a year old. They had moved back when Peter was in fifth year. Clara Pettigrew had finished her sixth and seventh year as a Slytherin in Hogwarts. He discovered that his father and his sister had gone over to the dark side the year after he graduated. He had been desperate to become closer to them so he too became a Death Eater. It hadn't been as hard a decision as he originally thought it would.

In school, at about the middle of his first year, he had become great friends with three other wizards that had been in Gryffindor with him: James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.

Only one of them was still alive today…

As he walked around the looming stalagmites that rose from the floor he thought about turning into a rat to slip through the piles of rock and see in the dark easier.

A falling stalactite quickly erased any thoughts about turning into his Animagus form. It might be more difficult to navigate without getting hurt as a human but at least he could use his wand in a second's notice and he had less of a chance of being crushed as well.

He wondered bitterly how he had gotten assigned to this mission. It wasn't an important one and it was very dangerous.

In his opinion he thought he deserved a little more appreciation. After all he was the one that had helped their master come fully into the world of the living again.

Peter was a cold man, but he wasn't entirely heartless. He remembered watching Cedric Diggory fall to the ground as he muttered those fateful words no victim liked hearing. He remembered looking at Cedric's lifeless grey eyes for a moment when he had gone to fetch a wand for the duel his master was planning on having. Both times he had felt shame wash through his body, but only for a mere second.

He remembered seeing James once again, even if it was only a cloudy figure. His smoky eyes had looked at Peter with disgust and then back to his struggling son with pride. He remembered watching Lily Potter, James's wife, who was also deceased, whispering something to her son.

It had been a plan of escape as he later realize.

Her son was Harry James Potter, the same Harry Potter that had spared his life when Sirius and Remus had been about to kill him.

Peter himself was willing to admit that he didn't deserve to live. He deserved to die and burn in hell like his sister was at that very moment. He was also willing to admit that Harry was a better person then he would ever be.

Harry, the son of one of his former best friends. He was a kinder person then James had been but he wasn't as cautious as Lily had been. He also had adopted some of Sirius's humour and Remus' deep thinking.

"My debt to you Harry Potter will be paid," Pettigrew said as he fell onto the rocky ground once again, "Mark my words it will be done."

The thought of Harry's family once again reminded him of his sister. Clara Pettigrew or rather Clara Evelyn as she had been known as when she died was not a good person in any way, shape or form. She had married a rich man when she had returned to Canada then she had killed him not long after. She had been the only person to inherit his fortune. She and a few other people had kept up the Death Eater traditions in Canada even though Voldemort had 'died'.

Once Voldemort returned he made Peter leave almost at once to find her. Peter himself had traveled to Canada the muggle way and he had started in Halifax and slowly made his way through the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Quebec until he got to Toronto, Ontario. He had found his sister much easier then he had anticipated originally. She had agreed readily to return to England in order to fight. He didn't go to the department of mysteries because after his trip they used the rest of the time to plan out her moves carefully as well as research the legend about the Half Blood Prince.

He had found out she was even worse then he thought she was. She had even fooled the great Albus Dumbledore into believing she was an innocent and sweet girl. And he knew that she was the sister of the traitor, Peter Pettigrew…

In Peter's opinion, as painful as it was for him to think, let alone say, he thought Evelyn had gotten exactly what she deserved. She took the coward's way out of the pain. Instead of waiting for the fire that consumed her body to slowly kill her she had killed herself. But he couldn't blame her…he would have done the same.

While in his thoughts Peter hadn't been paying attention to exactly what he was doing and he hadn't realized he had trudged onto a wooden platform until it broke under his weight and he fell down a steep rock slide.

He tumbled roughly into a large chamber. His watery eyes squinted as a bright light consumed them. He shielded his eyes with his arm and stared at what was emitting such bright yet attractive light.

It was an orb. It strongly reminded him of the orbs that held prophecies in the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic but it was bigger. Plus the fog on the inside of it not only was glowing brightly but it was changing colours too.

He studied it and would have swore he saw it somewhere before but he couldn't have said where for the life of him.

Peter approached it slowly and cautiously but as he neared it a warm, fuzzy healing grew in his stomach and he knew he was not in danger in any way. As he walked up to it he noticed there was an open book with blank parchment in it, a quill and a large ink well.

He touched it and jumped as writing appeared on it.

Hello mortal that has stumbled across this room. Who are you?

After thinking for a moment whether to answer it or not he reached over and picked up the quill, dipped it into the ink then wrote while speaking, "My name is Peter Pettigrew."

Hello Peter. You must be wondering who this is your talking to, correct? Well I cannot answer that but I can answer what the orb is, if you'd like to know.

"I would," Peter muttered.

I can tell you on one condition. You must either use it after you know or have your memory erased about it. Do you accept these terms?

After thinking for a minute he said and wrote, "I accept."

Excellent. This orb you see before you Peter Pettigrew is the ancient Orb of Efil. Have you heard about it?

"Yes, my former friend's wife, Lily, read a lot. She told us all legends about the Orb of Efil or the Orb of Life as it is called," he wrote. "She said that it had the powers to bring back one, and only one person from the dead but the person that uses it must give up their life as well.

Correct. The Orb of Efil, or Life was created to show up in a time when it was needed. This is one of these times. The orb has appeared to bring one person and only one back from the dead. There is no specific person or side it can be used for. Whoever finds it may use it. Do you want to use it Peter Pettigrew?

Peter read the writing over carefully then wrote, "I'm not positive."

Think of someone you would like to bring back. Think of them. Touch the Orb and state whether you chose to use the orb or forget about it.

Peter thought about it and some previous thoughts appeared in his mind. The words 'she deserved it' echoed through his mind.

He placed his dirt covered hand onto the orb and said, "I choose to…"

Harry woke up with a confused look on his face. He had never had this dream before, but Gemma had told him Peter used the Orb of Elif for something.

"Who did he bring back?" Harry whispered to himself. He got out of his comfortable bed before walking into the Headboy and Girl common room. He sat on the couch and put a hand up to his forehead. He had no clue who it could be.

His mind turned to Professor Nickleson. No one knew where she really came from and Harry was positive he had seen her somewhere before, although he couldn't remember for the life of him where. He tried thinking of other people but Nickleson's face continued to stick in his mind.

"Did Peter bring back Professor Nickleson?" he whispered to himself, "and if he did…why her?"

Author's Randomness

Yeah I know… a little shorter and crappier then before but meh, what can you do…

Incase you didn't read this up there I'm severely doubting this stories end. Although I do have the outline 100 finished. But don't give up on me yet. This chapter took so long to write because I had no clue what I was going to do. Like mentioned before I was going to do the whole Harry/Hermione/Krum triangle thing but I decided to take that out completely. What to add in? I asked myself. So HAHA return of the mystery of Peter. There might be hints in that last little part there might not be. And I know a couple pages of this chapter are just a repeat of the first few in chapter one but I thought some people might need a memory refreshing.

Well off I go to start chapter 22. It's a race against time for me now…one I'm positive I won't win unless I write a chapter a day…

Aqua Mage – LOL thanks, still Nicola isn't going to become a major character…

CoolWeirdo – The long lost chapters? LOL! No those will never been written, I can promise that. Because they have nothing to do with the way I pictured the story in my head and I realized that. I am 100 positive that if I would have tried to write the "lost chapters" then this story WOULDN'T get done.

LauraAngel – I know that people have their own preferences in couples that's why I don't make it SUPER H/Hr-ish. Oh but they do care, I just wanted to get the Christmas part out of the way. Kaylee's owl? There's nothing SUPER important about it but you're right, there IS something different to it.

Brigade701 – If you mean in time for the final battle? No, Nicola won't be fighting in it.

Carn – I know that IS real sad! Nikky isn't completely back but Harry thought she should be able to see her sister for Christmas. HAHA the Lucius Malfoy thing wasn't even planned! It sorta just flew out of no where when I had to make up who Teather Dae really was (I never did plan that part out).

Danrad820 – LOL I'm not too smart, I just like to confuse people (especially myself). Glad you like this though!

CastusAlbusCor – Thanks!

LinkMaster2000 – LOL thanks and welcome officially to ff.n!

Drake Smythe – I'm hoping it'll be finished by then, really hoping because I know once it does come out I'll get inspiration for something else and if this isn't done then…I'll stop writing it and I don't want that. LOL awesome day to have your 18th B-day! Harry's abuse level is going to go down a little bit…then sky rocket back up probably!

Holimontski – Yeah, Nikky WILL be going to Hogwarts in the year AFTER this fic, but I won't be writing about it. What punishment? She was just really mad. The memories in the orb, glad you mentioned those but I won't tell you why. Damn straight I'm back in the game (haha no more homework!)

Mel – Well thank you, when I read your first review I was like…ok then. Sure, but by the end of this you're probably one of the ones who will hate me. – I guess you can read in college but it'd probably be smarter to do your work. I still have two years left of High School but oh well!

TakatoRikku – LMAO I do? Oops. Stupid me, I even know the difference between those two…thanks for pointing it out though )

Randomreaderguy – I know he should have, shouldn't he? It's not some big secret to the story though, I just forgot about it.

QueenWeasel – LOL no it wasn't 10 years later! Well obviously I didn't update tomorrow from the day you reviewed, so, sorry!

Athena's snow wolf – I dunno, was she alive back then? You're all gonna KILL me when I finally reveal that! BINGO! You picked out the one thing that not many people have so far! You figure it out from there…it's about the Halloween thing.

Zircronium – I'm a working on it! Sorry the space between updates has been LOOOOOOONG

Sorry if i missed anyone!
