Chapter 14
The Party was once more getting ready to enter the Dungeon. The week had been interesting with the Twins toning down the pranking against just Slytherins, but the still liked to target bullies. As Cho Chang and her click found out after they decided to bully Luna as they found her odd. The entire group had multi colored neon pimples on their face after they started messing with Luna, the twins made it known to the others that if they bully one of their friends then they would get the same. They never got in trouble as there had been no real proof that they were the ones who did it.
Dumbledor also was still being pranked his clothing would never be the same. He had also found that the suits of armor would make rude comments as he passed, things like 'wow he's fugly!', 'make way for the old goat', 'he with too many names', and 'Dumble's the Bumbler!'. The old man was furious as those where some of the tamer things that was heard around students, he didn't want to even think of what they had said when it was just him.
Lockhart was also the target of many pranks as the kids as well as Aurora could not stand the fool. He found the mirrors in his rooms had been spelled to always make him look as if he had never bathed, and as if he had no hair. He had also found that whenever he tried to get a student to help him be re-enacting out his adventures that when he would look at the student playing the part of the creature Lockhart would see only the monster and not the student this caused him to faint or scream like a girl and then dismiss the class. He only did that a few times as he did not want to be scared anymore. Still the students where losing respect for the man and even the girls who had been swooning over him where starting to question why they had done so. Aurora had made sure that the elves of the school knew not to help him or anyone else by giving students potions as that was something she had found the old an doing a few times to other and Harry.
"ok we are ready as we will be, lets see what else this dungeon has for us next!" Harry then hit yes to enter and the party found them self's back at the rest point. They then broke into their teams and started back down the labyrinth keeping their eyes open for anything.
It was only half an hour later that Harry's team found another room but entering it was going to be tricky as their where two large golems standing either side of the door and they could see that both had a neckless on that looked important.
"George do you and Blaise think you can sneak up on them if the rest of us distract them enough?" Harry whispered to the two as he looked over that section of hall. They had noticed that their where a few pilers that looked knocked over and some large blocks around the hall, they had also noticed how the hall started to get wider a little back and realized that it might have been for this area and the golems.
The two looked at each other before looking over the hall and everything that was scattered about.
"I think we can if you guys give us enough time!" George nodded with Blaise.
"Ok then you 2 get into position and give a signal when you are ready while we get over there and get this started." Harry then lead the others down the hall to just before they would been seen by the golems and waited till George and Blaise got ready. Once the signal was sent Harry started off with a fire and ice arrow combo and started moving around using transfiguration on some of the smaller rocks to make bird and animals to run and fly around the golems. The others followed suit and the golems left their post to attack the intruders. Luna was making use of her archery skills to shoot arrows that had little bags attached to them that released smoke clouds that stayed by the golem's heads, while Susan was using both charms and transfiguration to make the floor under the golem's feet either slippery or like quick sand. All the while the Rouge and Assassin slowly and carefully made their way behind the two golems and scaled the wall and pillars that had been by the door as well.
"Luna can you hit them with a few more of the smoke bombs!" Harry called before shooting out more ice arrows and transfiguring more birds. Susan was also working on the keeping the golems in place as well as making sure that they had enough cover. Luna managed to hit them with a few more of her smoke bombs before she switched to casting spells that included some that had illusions of different animals flying around the golems.
Just as the golems made a step back to the walls that was when the two struck using blasting curses to the back of the golems necks made them fall to the ground where Harry and the other quickly help to finish them off.
After searching both golems the necklaces that they had been wearing where removed and it was found that they were the keys to open the doors. Once in the room they found if full of paintings and armor as well as weapons, the painting on the wall where of people and landscapes, all of them masterpiece's and all magical. Luna was found chatting with one of the paintings and had found that they could offer teaching the Party how to use the weapons by demonstrating them in the landscape paintings. Harry had everything in the room packed up and planned to get another trunk space to set it all up in and use as a training room and armory.
On the other side of the room was the exit to the next part oof the labyrinth. They decided to eat a quick meal and rest before moving on.

Aurora was standing in the forest getting ready to deal with the spiders when King Rangnok stepped up to her side.
"I take it that you have a good reason for asking me out here?" he asked her as his guards and assistant set up a table for them.
"Yes, I plan to add to the business I'm staring by having a Acromantula silk farm, I already know where to get the spiders from and have a place already picked out for them and set up!" she smiled at his wide-eyed look. It hadn't been heard to finish getting the island set up and had added frames for the spiders to wrap the silk too that could be easily replaced and checked to make sure that there was no funny business.
"Ah, I see well I would like to know if you are going to move all of the spiders to your farm or just some? I ask this as I do know that a few places where that species of spiders is supposed to habitat are needing new spiders to bring up their population." he had looked over the papers she had placed on the table and was impressed of what she had thought out.
"I know that not all of them are going to be happy moving to a new place but I also know that they can't be left here as they are too dangerous. If you have a way for me to set some aside, I will see about sending some of them your way to be placed elsewhere!" she smiled as he nodded and sent one of his to get the trunks for moving large creatures.
"It will need to be some of the larger ones and a lot of the smaller ones for the moves but the trunks will close once the numbers needed have been meet. Though I do wonder how you plane to get them to a point where they will agree to move?" Rangnok looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
With a smile Aurora pulled out a bag and started removing large rocks from it. She had pulled out 5 rows worth of 20 each then with a wave of her hands the rocks all turned into snakes but they were the size of a horse or larger and all looked very powerful, with another wave they all started to emit an aura that the goblins could not place.
"What did you do to them as I feel something coming off of them?" Rangnok could not help but look at the rock snakes closely as he tried to place what he was feeling.
"Oh, I just gave them the same feel as the one thing I know Acromantula fear!" she then smiled at the goblins wickedly. "The Basilisk!" she could not help but laugh at the shocked looks on their faces. "don't worry thy are not real ones, I know better than to try that, but they will cause the spider to become frozen with a look and that will make my job a lot easier. I also know that some of the spiders are going to try and fight so that is why I made them of rock rather than wood, the spider won't be able to hurt rock." with that she gave the golems their orders and the hunt was on.
It didn't take long for the first spider to be spotted and it gave an alarm to the rest as they noticed the snakes and could feel what they were. As the spiders started to run Aurora had made sure that another hundred of her golems had been placed on the other side of where she knew the nest was and had them pinned in a pincer with the nest at the center.
A few centaurs had seen her go by, at first, they were going to attack her but then felt the power she had and realized just what was in the forest that day. Instead, one went to get Magorian while the other followed behind and added their arrows to keep the spiders moving. They had also realized that she was doing something about the spiders and hopping to stop the invaders once and for all as they had lost a few of their children the spiders already as did some of the other native forest dwellers.
A few of the spiders had seen her and tried to attack but where frozen in place before getting within 5 feet of her and made sure to let the others see that it was her magic that had done so not the golems. Before long she had made it to the nest sight where a wall of spiders was waiting for her.
"I wish to speak with you leader/elder!" she called in a language that they all could understand.
There was a rustling then a spider larger than the rest aspired, this one aperid older than the rest as his age was visible from the coloration. "What do you want she of magic itself?"
"I have come to remove you from this place as you do not belong here and have hurt this forest and its native life for far too long." she waved to the dead trees and stunted growth around them.
"My friend Hagrid promised us we could live here and be safe!" he chittered back as his children weaved back and forth behind him.
"That may be true but it was not a promise that was his to give or make, you do not belong in these lands and I will not have you stay here anymore, but I will also not just kill you off, I have set up a place for you and your kin to live in peace with a chance to get more food without hurting anyone else. I also wish to send some of your kin off to places where they will live in their natural habitat. Yes, that dose mean that they will have to worry about predators and such but they will have a chance to live." she then had the trunks of which there was 4 placed on either side of her and opened. "Each trunk will let only a certain number in then they will close and be sent to their new homes any that wish to leave may enter the trunks."
There was no movement at first before a number of larger spiders moved forward and into the trunks along with swarms of the smaller spiders. As each trunk filled to its max they closed. All watched as each trunk vanished to be replaced with a letter stating that they had been sent tother wildlife preserve that needed them. Aurora then looked to the rest.
"I will set up an arch for the rest of you to go through. This will lead to an island that you and your kin will live on in peace, I have also placed a large number of pray animals on the island with protected places for them to breed and hide so that you will not be able to exhaust them. You will also find an area with a building they're in that place you will find looms to wrapped in silk for each loom of silk I get you will be given more food animals to eat." she brought forth on of the looms, it was about as tall as she was.
"You will move us to this place, but how and what if we do not want to leave here?" The elder spider asked, he had not given her his name. The younger spiders where chittering softly and a few kept trying to move to a spot from which they could pounce on her but the snake golems kept them away and quite a few had been frozen in place when they tried.
She smiled and with another wave the arch that had been prepared appaired. "This is a travel arch just walking through will bring you to your new home. You may test it if you wish!" she activated the arch and stepped back.
A few of the smaller spiders went through and were gone for a few minutes before returning and chattering to the elder.
"You have proven you are telling the truth but why do this? Why make us leave this place?" he looked to Aurora.
"As I said you do not belong here and are hurting this place, also you are too dangerous to have near the school or village as I fear you and yours will one day hurt the people there and they will come in to hunt and kill all of you, this way you get to live in peace and the forest can recover from you being here!" Aurora then let her power free a little, letting all of the spiders feel just what she truly was.
"We will go to this island!" The elder spider was afraid of what would happen if he and his children anger this aspect of magic, some of his foolish and headstrong brood chittered angerly at this as they did not fully understand what it was in front of them, but he would not turn back, with an order to his young and mate they started to move though the arch many going to collect the eggs and smallest of the spiders before leaving.
It was the elder moved over to the arch he chittered to the one who were foolishly staying behind and planning to attack Aurora that he stopped and tried to get them to come with. They refused and told him that he was a fool to let this human make them leave their home.
Turning to Aurora, "I am Aragog, I only want my kin to be happy and safe nothing more." and with that he went though. The only spiders left where the one who thought they could kill Aurora not bothering to take notice of just how powerful she was or the warning that Aragog had tried to give them. It only took a moment when the 20 large bear sized spiders tried to attack at once only for them to be frozen in midair and blaster with fire. Aurora made quick work of them making sure to harvest what was needed for potions before sending all of that to Harry's Island.
She then turned to the centaur's leader and gave a nod to him. Magorian, Bane, and Firenza and a few others were standing near and had watched all that had happened.
"I thank your Magic child for freeing the forest of the spider's menace. We had almost lost hope of getting rid of them." Magorian gave her a nod back as he spoke.
"Why has one of Magic's children come to the forest now?" Bane all butt challenged her being there. The other centaurs looked at him as if he was mad for being rude to one of Magic itself children.
"I am here now as the one who I am to protect is in the castle at this moment and I know just how dangerous the spiders can be if left unchecked any longer. I know you dislike humans but the one I am to protect has both my mother and I looking after him." she had given Ban a pointed look and he had backed off knowing that she was beyond him.
"I see so you are here for the boy I helped last year!" Firenza looked happy to know this.
"Yes, and you have my thanks for helping Harry when you did, due to the Dumbledors interfering I have only been able to get free to help Harry at the end of last school year." She gave a nod of her head to him. "I had been watching over Harry that whole time and as I could not help him till I was free, I had been worried that night as the thing that was killing the unicorns could have killed him at that point. Your aid was most welcome and I know that Mother was pleased as well!" Aurora smiled at Firenza, this had caused the other centaurs look surprised and Bane looked mad.
"If mother magic is happy for the help that was given, then it was a good thing!" Magorian also smiled. His words also caused the other centaurs to smile, well all but Bane.
"You wont have to worry about Harry and his party treating you and your kin badly as they have been learning about the magical world from me and I plan to make sure that they know the truth." Aurora looked serious as she spook and gave Bane a harsh look at his snort.
"Well we should be going and thank you for freeing the forest from the spiders, my Lady!" Magorian gave another nod to her then lead the rest away.
Aurora spent an hour looking over where the spiders had lived placing any silk that had been left behind into a box most of it was salvageable but she would have to work it. She also looked to see if there was anything to be found and was sadden to find a few bodies of both centaur's children as well as human ones. She made sure to lay all of the bodies she found to the side in boxes she then burned the area controlling the fire so that only what was dead and dying was destroyed while letting new growth happen. With one last look around she picked up the box of silk and looked over to the goblins who had stayed out of the way, she gave them a bow as the helped move the bone of the spider's victims.
"We will see to the rest of this, don't worry we will make sure that they ae treated with respect!" with that Rangnok left with his guards and the boxes. She then left the area herself the only thing left was an open area that had ash covering everywhere and new growth popping up from under the ash, it was then that bird song was heard in that area for the first time in years. The whole forest seemed to sigh as the natural wild life started tacking back over. The first unicorn to walk into the area gave a soft whinny and stated to walk around the clearing with others following behind. As they moved around the plant life that was sprouting became hardier and shot up just a little more, some of the Faires and pixies also flew into the area and stated to make homes in the trees that used to be their homes long ago. The forest gave another sigh as things began to recover from the spiders. Soon it would look as if they had never been their. Fawks flashed in and looked around happy at what had been done and that the forest would recover from the spiders.

Neville and his team had also found a room guarded but they had wood lion statues that could move to deal with. It hadn't taken them long to find a way though but it had been tricky to pull off. Tracy, Daphne, and Padma had to work together with long rang spells to keep the lions busy as he boys closed in to take their own shots with blades, Hanna had been keeping an eye on things from a broom as their had been 4 lions to deal with, the first two had gone down to fire spells, but the last two where not so easy to hit as they had kept moving, Hanna made good use of being above them and called out patterns and dropped spells on the lions from above. Finally Neville and Fred had gotten a good hit each and downed that last lion. The doors then opened and they all stepped in keeping their eyes open for any traps. The room had been full of statues, none of them where active and their was serval scrolls on a table with the instructions on how to make them and activate the magic in them to have them work.
"Well, we where wondering if their was a way to protect the islands and I think the statues would be a good idea, we could also use some at the hidden base at the burrow and Sirius cottage." Fred was smiling as he looked over the different statues, there had been more lions as well as badgers, wolves, stages, and human. There were also smaller ones all over as well, the others nodded and Neville pulled a box from his inventory to put the smaller ones in while the other began gathering the bigger statues into their own inventory's, copies of the scroll where made and sent to the other party as they looked over the room for anything hidden before sitting down and taking a break to down some food.
"Ok, hopefully we will find the next rest area soon and can set up a proper camp then. I do like all of the stuff we have found so far and think we can made good use of the statues as security!" Hanna smiled them.
"I defiantly want to see if we add some things to the statues like fire protection and other things but they will make good defenses for the island and cottage." Daphen was looking over her copies of the scroll as she planned out what would be needed to add what she wanted to them.
The others nodded and looked over their own scrolls as the contemplated the same. Fred was also wonder if their was a way to make toy sized ones and see if they could add different charms to them like make them fly and if he made a dragon one spew sparkles and glitter.
They sent a message to Harry's party and then set off on the next part of the labyrinth.
HPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGW
Dumbledore was pissed, he had tried to find Harry but at every turn he was halted by some small thing that needed to be done, or he had to go back to his rooms to change his clothing as there had been some kind of incident the involved him getting covered in something, from dust from one of the staircases that was moving and being cleaned by the house elves (it was large amount of dust mixed with dried mud and other things, the elves always had to hold in laughter as he sputtered) to different thing being spilled by students or teachers as he walked by. It got to the point that he hid in his office for the rest of the day. While sitting at his desk sucking on some candy, he tried to figure out why his day was so bad, he had not noticed the candy bowl had been dusted with dried malaclaw venom as it had been done very lightly. Once more Fawks was laughing at him and the Hat would give a shake or two as he tried to laugh out loud.
"What is wrong with me today, nothing is going the way I want it and I don't understand why!" he huffed and slammed his hands on his desk then howled in pain as his right hand had come down on the blade he used to sharpen his quills. It had been sitting there from last night as he had forgotten to put it away. After pulling it out of his hand he wrapped a handkerchief around his hand and left though the floo to the hospital wing. His exit was rather fast and he fell to the floor. Both Madam Pomfrey and Professor McGonagall had seen this and looked worried.
"Headmaster are you all right?" the Nurse saw his wrapped hand and stepped over to him and helped him onto a bed. A few quick spells latter had his hand healed and his current outfit clean of soot.
"Yes, yes just an unlucky streak, nothing to important." He left before either of the woman could order him to stay and be checked out properly. The walk back to his office was meet with more misfortune and a need to change clothing once more as he had been covered with syrup and feathers from Peeves, the poltergeist had been trying to hit some 6th years and missed completely.
"This is just not my day!" was his mutter as he finally got to the entrance of his office. He stopped and looked around before stepping past the gargoyle.
Lockhart was also having another bad day as Aurora had dusted his comb with the malaclaw venom, his bad luck had manifested itself in the form of every time he tried to impress any of the 6th and 7th year girls, he either tripped, bit his tongue, or started talking gibberish. This had the impact of making him look worse as many of them had felt he was not a good teacher but that maybe he just wasn't meant to be one. He had also found that all of his clothing where cursed or something as every time he put them on, they would change colors to the most outlandish ugly ones possible. He had found some yellow sticky balls in them and did not know what they where or where they had come from but it was driving him mad. There had been no physical imageries yet but his reputation was going down. Especially because some of the 7th year Ravenclaws where staring to pull apart his books and ask questions he did not want to answer.
HPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGW
Harry was running as fast as he could, the last bit of the labyrinth had been a race against falling traps and pits opening in the floor, luckily only one of them and to run it the others were watching from a safe spot. Harry had dodged as he ran, making us of the years of Harry hunting he had to outrun. There had been a few close calls but he had managed to get by, after dodging one last falling trap, he made it to the end. The traps stopped and everything stilled before going back to normal. The others quickly made it over to him and were congratulating him on his run. They all moved over to the door and paused to make sure they were ready before opening it. Before them was a large room with chairs and tables everywhere and beds along the walls, there was also a circular fireplace in the center and a stand for placing a pot to cook in. As they were getting settled another set of doors opened next to the ones they came though, Neville was in the lead with the girls following behind him and Fred bring up the rear, Fred looked as if he had made a mad dash as well and sank onto one of the chairs.
"Man, that was a crazy run, I do not wish to do again any time soon!" Fred sighed and Harry chuckled as he sat down in another chair next to him.
"If you had to make a run from one end of hall to another with all kinds of traps and falling things then I know what you mean!" Harry looked over to Fred and gave him a tried smile.
The other made fast work of getting some food together and Luna pulled out a few bottle of Gatorade and handed one each to Harry and Fred. Blaise had pulled out a pot and was pouring water into it as well as pulling out some herbs and vegetables as well as some dried beef.
"it's a good thing that Aurora made sure we all know how to cook as I don't think Harry is up to it right now." Blaise handed off the veggies to Tracy who began to chopped them up and add them to the pot.
"Yah, though I think the elves might have had more fun teaching us because she had gotten them all those cook books with all kinds of new thing for them to make!" T=she laughed as she was chapping and the other joined in. it didn't take long for the soup that Blaise made to be done and every one got a bowl, they all settled in chairs at tables enjoying their food.
"I don't know what else the founders thought of for this place but so far it has been fun and challenging and I have enjoyed it a lot!" Harry smiled as the other nodded at him and smiled back.
"well it has been fun so far but we will need to check out the next part before we stop which means a good night sleep tonight!" Luna smiled and kept eating. She had pulled out some dinner rolls and handed them out. The rolls had still been warm as she had placed them in her inventory not lone after baking them. After eating they all chatted and made plans for the next day before sleeping.
HPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGWHPGW
Sirius and Remus where both working on the cottage grounds, Thay had been sent a message from Harry about getting some magical statues that could act as defenses and the two of them were making place for them to be put. They had also made sure that the islands had places as well.
"You know I don't think this is what I or Lilly and James had in mind for Harry! To think that he and the others are doing dungeon runs as Harry put it. But if there was any other way for them to get the experience, they need I'm sure that Aurora would do it." Sirius looked around at what they had set up so far and smiled.
"That is true but I would love to have learned things that same why that are doing now, just think of how much we could have gotten done with that system in place?" Remus looked around as well and laughed at the look on Sirus's face.
"We would totally made thing a mad house if we had that kind of thing going on, so are we going to still teach them to be animagus this Christmas?" Sirius smirked at Moony.
"Yes we did plan to and I think it would be good for them to get it down now so they can get used to it!" Moony was also smirking as he knew that the old man would be royally be pissed if or when he found out.
Both men laughed as they got back to work and made plans for the Party, the knew that the kids would love the present they had planned out. The elf's where also working on the grounds to make room for what was to be added and they all knew that this was going to help make the kids feel safer. The men also made sure that the back of the cottage grounds had plenty of space for the kids to fly broom and work on other things. Madam Bones had also been by and smiled at what had been done as she had also gotten a message and made arrangements for Bones manor to get the same space set up. The same was being done to the other homes as well.
She also couldn't help but laugh at the thought of what Dumbledor would do if he ever found out what was going on. She had little respect for the man as he had let too much go and kept trying to get things done his way instead of the right way.
"oh well the old man is going to be in for it when Aurora makes herself known to him, so I will sit back and watch that show when it happens!" she laughed then got to work on her plans as well.
