Harry Potter the God Slaying Sword

ESKK: Let's start.

(Start Chapter Master Therion's throne room)

Master Therion was sitting upon his throne as he seemed to be relaxing as his servants were relaying to him recent findings involving the Philosopher Stone which he was aware of. He also heard as they relayed to him certain findings and dealing within the Wizard and none magical community. "Master Therion?" Etheldreda began as she looked to Therion from his lap. "Should we be off soon no doubt your 'friends,' will wonder where you are as you did promise to tell them how your test went for the advance classes." Etheldreda said as Master Therion smiled a bit there.

"There is no rush the suspense will make the announcement all the more special to them regardless if it's good or bad." Master Therion said as he sat there on his throne. "For now let me enjoy this small scene of peace." Master Therion said as Etheldreda nodded.

"As you wish… Master." Etheldreda said as she was fiercely loyal to her master and no other. In fact she'd dare say her Master was her world and unlike Bellatrix to Voldemort Etheldreda knew self-control of one self to avoid major disasters.

(Scene Break after Christmas Break Library Hogwarts)

Harry and Ron were reading up on their classes and trying to find anything on Nicholas Flamel as Joseph had joined them with Elisa as Al and Hermione had yet to return to them. Joseph of course was now studying potions with the 2nd years as it was clear he was advanced and even with the 2nd years Joseph was an overachiever already snagging a spot as the top of the class there.

"Blimey Joseph top of class among 2nd years you should probably just skip to your N.E.W.T and O.W.L's and finish Potions now." Ron joked as he swore Joseph was a bloody genius or child prodigy.

"What and have my Potions time as extra free time without making your blokes lives miserable I don't think so mates." Joseph joked as he smiled to his friend's here. "Besides I've always been able to absorb and retain information I've learned better than anyone I have met even Harry." Joseph said as Elisa looked to him.

"Are you going to take that?" Elisa asked as Harry laughed a bit.

"He's not wrong." Harry confessed as he looked to Elisa.

Just then Hermione walked in with Al as Hermione was carrying a large magic tome. "I had you looking in the wrong section. How could I be so stupid!?" Hermione called as she then dropped the book onto the table as Al looked with her.

"Yeah said stupidity almost got us caught mind you." Al scolded as she glared at Hermione.

"Don't remind me." Hermione called as Al rolled her eyes and looked back to everyone on the table.

"Damn." Joseph said as he looked to the book seeing its size.

"I checked this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading." Hermione said as Joseph smirked at this.

"This is light?" Ron asked in shock as he saw this as Joseph scoffed.

"That's cute." Joseph joked as Elisa then elbowed him causing him to yelp at the pain.

Everyone glared at the two for a moment as Hermione then opened the book as they found the information on Nicholas Flamel in the book. "Of course here it is. Nicholas Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosopher Stone." Hermione said as Joseph looked at this.

"The what?" Ron and Harry asked as they were lost on this.

"The Celestial Stone, The Great Elixir, the Mystic Amplifier, the Red Tincture, the Fifth Element, The Sorcerer's Stone, and those are just some of the names it was given and since time immortal has been the chief end gain of all Alchemy and Nicholas Flamel was the only recorded person to have ever cracked the secret." Joseph said as the 'other guy,' in him knew of others who had done the exact same deed also. "Alchemy follows the fundamental law of equivalent exchange to gain something of greater or equal value must be lost and you have to know what it is you want otherwise the results could either be minor or fatal depending on what you wish to create." Joseph explained as Hermione let him do so.

"The Philosopher Stone can bypass that law by amplifying what you are doing to create more out of less but the secrets of creating one had forever been buried by those who create it. Some say the secret to creating such an Stone is a horrible thing that many would find dark and when those who cracked the code learned of it they in turn resolve to either bury the knowledge with them in there grave, obliviate themselves of it, or worse they resolve to do so anyway regardless of the cost." Joseph said as Ron then gulped a bit at him.

"How do you know this stuff?" Ron asked as Joseph looked to his friend.

"Simply put you just need to research at the right places to do so since Nicholas was never heard from again after he did the deed." Joseph said as he looked to Ron. "And I don't even know what is needed to create one but Nicholas must have had a reason for vanishing after the Stone was made." Joseph said as he knew such a thing must have come with a great cost to the creator.

"It can even turn metals into Gold, and produces the elixir of life making the drinker immortal." Hermione said as Joseph's hands then turned to fists at the mere thought of such an evil thing. "Well just last year Nicholas Flamel celebrated his 366th birthday so this would mean…" Hermione said as then Al spoke.

"The three headed mutt in the third floor is guarding it." Al said as if they can grab it then they can keep it from the enemies here and the Black Lodge.

"And only one person knows about it like nothing." Elisa said as Harry nodded in agreement with her.

"Yeah… Hagrid." Harry said as they needed to get to Hagrid to talk to him about the stone and Fluffy.

(Scene Break Later That Night)

The 6 were making their way to Hagrid's house as the keeper of keys and game tend to live on school grounds during the year as they had to be fast lest Filch or a teacher caught up to them. As they sped walked they soon arrived at Hagrid's house to which Al then knocked on the half Giants door. "Hagrid!" Harry called as they looked to Hagrid who was wearing cooking mitten and an apron.

"Oh hello sorry don't wish to be rude but I'm in no fit state to entertain today." Hagrid said as then they all spoke at once.

"We know about the Philosopher Stone!" They all called as the door was closed which opted Hagrid to open it back up for them.

"Oh…" Hagrid said as he let them in as the moment Joseph entered Hagrid's dog began to cower from Joseph as Harry saw this.

"Animals still don't like you?" Harry asked as Joseph sighed sadly.

Save for my owl then yeah pretty much mate." Joseph said as he didn't know why animals always feared him. But inside both he and Elisa knew exactly why animals were afraid of Joseph. "Harry here thinks Snape is trying to steal the stone but I personally think it's someone else entirely whose trying to steal the blasted stone." Al said as they took off their cloaks to hang as the entered Hagrid's home.

"Snape? Blimey you're not still on about him are ye?" Hagrid asked as everyone sat down at chairs they could find as Joseph went to the opposing side of Hagrid's dogs spot so he wouldn't frighten it anymore then already.

"Hagrid we know he's after the stone we just don't know why!" Harry called as Al rolled her eyes.

"Exactly! We don't know his motives for all we know it could be a huge misunderstanding!" Al called as she looked to her master and owner.

"Snape is one of the teachers protecting the stone he's not about to steal it." Hagrid said as by the sound of it the Stone had many protections, charms, and wards guarding its hiding spot.

"What?" Ron asked as Al smirked smugly at Harry.

"You heard." Hagrid said as Al smirked every so smugly.

"Told you so." Al taunted there basking in her current victory.

"Now come on off with, ye I'm a bit preoccupied today." Hagrid said trying to shew the 6 students off.

"Wait a minute one of the teachers." Hermione said as Joseph snapped his fingers figuring it out.

"Of course! The Dog in the third floor can't be the only one guarding the stone!" Joseph began as Elisa nodded.

"Yes there must obviously be many charms, wards, and spells protecting it as well." Elisa said as it made sense in a way why try to steal it if you added your own shield to it among the other ones protecting it.

"That's right waist of bloody time if you ask me." Hagrid said as Hagrid's dog was licking Ron trying to stay away from Joseph. "Ain't no one gonna get past fluffy ain't a soul knows how 'cept for me and Dumbledore." Hagrid boasted before he realized what he just did. "I shouldn't have told you that." Hagrid said as he realized what he did before they all heard tapping from the cauldron over the fire.

Hagrid then reached in and pulled out a smooth object which he then yelped as he could feel the heat through the mittens as he brought it to the table as everyone gathered around it. "Uh… Hagrid what exactly is that?" Harry asked as Al looked at it.

"Looks kind of like an egg." Al said pretending to be a muggle born descendant of her creator as she knew it was just that an Egg.

Hagrid was about to come up with a cover but it was Ron who blew the secret when he spoke. "I know what that is! Hagrid how did you get one?" Ron asked Hagrid as he looked to the jolly half giant man.

"I won it off a stranger I met down in the pub. Seemed quiet glad to be rid of it as a matter of fact." Hagrid said as the egg was shaking as everyone stepped back afraid it might actually explode with the rumbling it was doing.

"Duck!" Joseph called as just in time to as the Egg then hatched sending shell pieces as the pieces flew about breaking a few things as Joseph got back up and looked at the Dragon in question as it spread its wing out as soon it was out enjoying its first few moments of life.

It looked around and slipped on its remaining egg shells a bit but as it then saw Joseph it hissed and snapped at him as Joseph put his hands up stepping back from it knowing even magical animals hated him. Dragons were among the braver ones so Joseph stepped back as once he was far enough the Dragon calmed down and let out a content yet adorable small roar as Hermione was shocked to see the small thing here.

"Is that… a dragon?" Hermione asked looking to Hagrid in shock.

"That's not just a dragon that's a Norwegian Rich Back. My brother Charlie works with these in Romania." Ron said as they all saw the Dragon in question with wonder.

"Isn't he beautiful?" Hagrid asked sounding like a proud father to his new born son. "Oh bless him he knows his mommy." Hagrid said as the Dragon looked to Hagrid knowing he was the one who took care of him as an egg. "Hello Norbert." Hagrid greeted the newly named Norbert as he scratched under his head a bit as the Dragon enjoyed the feeling.

"Norbert?" Al asked as Elisa was confused why to name a Dragon.

"Well of course he's gotta have a name don't he?" Hagrid asked as he looked to Norbert as everyone smiled to the newly hatched Dragon on the table. The Dragon then ended up sneezing out of nowhere sending out a tuff of fire at Hagrid's beard putting embers in it as Hagrid freaked out a bit and started trying to put it out. "Well he otta be trained up a bit of course." Hagrid said as everyone smiled at this as then Hagrid noticed someone at the window. "Who's that?" Hagrid asked as he looked to the window and everyone looked and saw none other than Draco there.

"Malfoy." Harry called as they had to chase him down.

"No it's too late." Joseph said as he stopped them. "Besides why chase him when I can simply wait for him to return to the Slytherin Dorm?" Joseph asked as he smirked as Harry looked.

"Joseph what did you do?" Harry asked as Joseph smirked.

"Oh I don't know I assure you on my first night here I didn't use my inner Slytherine to do something tyrannical like install a great sense of fear of me and the repercussions I can inflict upon them if they displease me in some way." Joseph said as that was exactly what he did as Elisa was smirking while Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked shocked and scared what a Slytherine Joseph would looks like.

Plus he had a point to boot if he did do that Draco would have to return at some point to avoid getting caught after hours and would also have to catch them outside the houses which meant Draco would only win if he was very lucky or if he did get them in trouble he too would get in trouble to boot.

"So it's a lose/lose situation for Draco Malfoy Joseph you are an evil genius." Al said as Joseph smiled.

"I try." Joseph joked as they had to head back to their houses before Malfoy could.

(Scene Break Slytherine House Joseph and Elisa)

Draco ran in hoping he beat Joseph here as he looked around the common room and sighed a bit before the chair spun around revealing Joseph causing Draco to yelp as soon Elisa appeared as well. "Welcome back Draco I was starting to get worried you would be late." Joseph said as the way he sat showed no room for error for Joseph to hold the higher ground or game.

"Y-you can't scare me Mudblood I'll call your bluff!" Draco argued as Joseph chuckled which sent an ice cold shiver down his spine at Josephs light chuckle which held no emotion besides amusement at him.

"And what would my bluff be, you were out of the Dorm after hours while I myself was with a dragon now it all depends on who tells first now all I have to do is modify my story and have Elisa as my witness." Joseph said as he pointed to Elisa who surprised Joseph at her playful innocent look which he saw held a great promise of pain on the young Malfoy heir. "And who are your witnesses by chance you know besides the ones you were chasing." Joseph said as he then stood up and looked at the Daily Prophet and its articles.

"My father will hear about this!" Draco called as he knew if he sent a letter his father will use his influence to nip Joseph at the bud right now.

"What you think I'm going to tell on you." Joseph said as Draco was surprised. "Now in fact I'm here to inform you that you WILL tell on us young Malfoy." Joseph said as he walked to Draco grazing his finger on the table and looking at the small specs of dust on it.

"Wait you what?" Draco asked as Joseph smiled a bit.

"I told you I want you to snitch on us because well I have some plans and I need to be in detention for them." Joseph said as Draco saw he wasn't making any sense.

"But why?" Draco asked as Joseph chuckled as he was before Draco and patted his cheek a bit.

"I'll put it simply Draco, I have big plans coming and my new group of friends play a pitiable role in it." Joseph said as he looked to Draco. "I did not lie when I said I was in a position of greatness but to make it so… I need allies to aid me. And those allies who provide aid to me… I ensure they are greatly rewarded for their efforts." Joseph said as he then took out a paper.

"If you don't aid me though… well I guess the Malfoy's will forever be one of those families who cheated to be a 'pureblood,' family." Joseph said pulling out to Draco's shock information on the Malfoy families furthest ancestors which showed they were mudbloods.

"You wouldn't dare." Draco gasped his voice wavering and quivering as Joseph smiled a bit seeing he caught his pray, now for the kill.

"Oh I won't Draco as long as you do exactly what I say to the letter without question so if I say jump you jump if I say trip you trip." Joseph said as he was basically blackmailing Draco and his family. "You do this and I will make sure that your family will be known as the first pureblood family of a new world." Joseph said as Draco was shocked by this.

"A new world? What are you talking about?" Draco asked as Joseph looked to Draco and smiled a bit.

"All in good time Draco, all in good time." He said as he then yawned. "Anyway you know what to do Draco so I shall bid you goodnight." Joseph said as he yawned as Elisa took part of the papers and took them to her dorm while Joseph took the papers other part.

"W-what is he?" Draco asked as he released a breath he had no idea he was holding as Joseph the way he moved and acted wasn't like any mudblood his father had told him about. In fact he sounded like a pureblood of the highest caliber almost dare he say royalty at the minimum and divine at the highest peak.

(With Joseph)

Joseph smirked as he looked at the heir ring of Salazar Slytherine as he saw it shine as he knew he had freed it of a soul fragment and a curse upon it as he laughed at the irony of things. "Well then Voldemort… your move." Joseph said as it sounded like he was just playing a game against a Dark Lord. But in truth to beat a Dark Lord you either send an equally powered Light Lord and hope you're lucky, send a stronger Light Lord, or send an even stronger Dark Lord. Two guesses which one Joseph was doing as he made a playful smirk as this game was getting interesting.

(Scene Break a few Nights later)

Joseph and Elisa were able to sneak out of Slytherin Common Room as right now they were with their friends as Harry and Al were together right now.

"Well this is great getting a dragon out of here easy not getting caught while doing it difficult but not impossible, oh and the topping on the cake we have to do all that while trying to figure out those tests, whose after the God Damn Stone, and most of all get to said stone before whoever is after it can!" All cried out as they were walking by the Astronomy Tower.

"I know it sounds impossible." Harry said as he walked with his friends as Joseph looked.

"Yeah it does sound difficult I won't lie there." Joseph said as he followed after his friends.

"Well we can't just keep him here he's going to get to big." Hermione said as Elisa nodded.

"Yeah chances are Norbert's diet will also be a problem as well." Elisa said as they needed to move Norbert somehow.

Soo the group rounded Astronomy Tower, the highest tower at Hogwarts where they were met face to face with Minerva McGonagall and a cocky looking Draco Malfoy. A smirk was plastered on his face when Harry, Ron, Hermione, Al, Joseph, and Elisa saw him as the latter two had helped the boy practice for some time his smirk which he was giving after they put him up to this scheme of theirs.

They all froze in shock as Professor McGonagall looked just as surprised as the four Gryffindor's and two Slytherin's, but before long her familiar stern expression replaced her shock expression.

"This is bad." Ron Weasley said loud enough for them to hear.

"You think?" Al scolded as Joseph gave his friends a looked.

"I'm sorry." He said silently as Al looked.

"Yeah Snake King control your subjects better." Al said unaware that Joseph had in fact did so just not in their favor this time.

"Good evening," Professor McGonagall said evenly. Her tone sounded calm far too calm for the strict teacher of House Gryffindor. "Follow me. All of you." The only sound in the corridor was the sound of her slippers shuffling against the floor as she led them to the first available classroom.

"We're in trouble." Harry said as Al looked to them.

"Should we escape through Arkham?" Al asked as that was on the table for her.

"No." Harry said as detention was the most she can do to them here… he hoped. Professor McGonagall ushered them to the front of the classroom where she sat down at the teacher's desk. She ordered the Slytherins to line up on one side and the Gryffindor's to do the same on the other.

For what felt like an eternity, Professor McGonagall sat there in silence slowly drumming her fingers against the desk. Joseph was actually tempted to take out his Walkman and medicate on songs from the 80's. But then he also remembered that they were in trouble also but she was so boring right now that it hurt. But soon the stern professor began to speak as she glared down on them with a stern look upon her. "Nothing, I repeat nothing gives a student the right to walk about the castle at night." Professor McGonagall started. "Therefore as punishment for your actions, 50 points will be taken from Gryffindor and Slytherine House." She scolded as Ron was wide eyed by this.

Ron's eyes widened in horror. "50?" he gasped in shock and horror to this punishment.

Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow and responded. "Each." McGonagall scolded as Al and Hermione elbowed Ron from both sides on this.

The Gryffindor quartet and the Slytherine duo looked shocked, but not Malfoy. No, he just smirked his stupid smirk as if he just won this even though Joseph had put him up to this. But Professor McGonagall wasn't done with them yet. "And to impress upon all of you the seriousness of your actions, all 7 of you will receive detention." She said as Joseph looked smugly at Draco on this playing his act flawlessly.

But even though they got detention the Gryffindor's and two Slytherine weren't surprised by the consequence of detention. But Draco was. "Excuse me, Professor, perhaps I heard you wrong. I thought you said the seven of us." He said as he didn't see this coming and began to realize Joseph had saw this coming and planned accordingly.

"You heard me correctly, Mr. Malfoy," Professor McGonagall responded. "As honorable as your intentions might have been, you were also out of bed after hours. You will join your classmates in detention." Minerva said as Joseph and Elisa did a silent knuckle bump behind their backs as if their plan had just worked flawlessly.

"All of you find a seat. We're going to be here until Professor Snape arrives to escort Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Theo, and Ms. Ulrich back to the Slytherin dungeon." Minerva said as then the 7 First Years all sat down but as Joseph passed Draco the Malfoy heir glared at Joseph seeing Joseph had tricked him as Joseph gave him a playful look that hid his true intentions as Draco getting detention was a part of the plan at large.

Joseph and Elisa sat with their friends as Al glared at him. "So much for the snake king huh?" Al said as Joseph looked.

"I said I was sorry how was I supposed to know these guys weren't fully intimidated by me?" Joseph asked as Elisa looked.

"Well they did call you the Snake Prince since you commanded the First Years and the second years in the upper class were a bit harder but they knew to leave you be." Elisa said as she and Joseph were always close by somehow.

"Joseph next time please make sure you keep them in line I don't need this on my record." Hermione said as Joseph then saluted.

"Will do Commander Granger." Joseph joked as Hermione chuckled as Josephs joke there.

(With Joseph and Elisa later)

Soon Snape had arrived and he was absolutely furious when he walked into the classroom. Clearly, he didn't like being awakened in the middle of the night either. Especially not to escort three of his students back to the Slytherin Dungeon where they should be sleeping. Without speaking a single word, he motioned for Draco, Joseph, and Elisa to stand. They did before he then pushed them toward the door. Joseph nearly tripped over one of the desks, but he managed to catch his balance before he continued out into the corridor. Snape stayed close behind them as they descended further and further into the castle. Draco tried to get an answer out of Elisa and Joseph why he set him up like that but they ignored his complaints to them. This in turn annoyed Draco, so it made him try harder to get the two to talk to him and explain why they set him up, which in turn annoyed Snape to the point that he shouted, "Enough! No talking!" This was perfectly fine with Joseph and Elisa as it gave them time to their thoughts without outside human distractions.

When they were just outside the entrance to the Slytherin dungeon, Snape stopped walking and pushed Joseph, Draco, and Elisa against the wall as Joseph had strategically moved to hide his heir ring outside Snape's view. "What is the meaning of all this?" he hissed no doubt very angry with the three here.

"Potter and his friends with Joseph and Elisa here were trying to smuggle a dragon out of the castle!" Draco said squirming slightly. He then dug into his pocket and pulled out Charlie's letter to Ron. "I have proof!" He said presenting the letter.

Professor Snape snatched the parchment from Draco's hands and read it. He narrowed his eyes at the contents before he pocketed the letter. "You should have come to me," Snape hissed once more.

"I-I thought Professor McGonagall would want to know what her students were up to." Draco said as Joseph and Elisa looked unimpressed with Snape's attempt to discipline them.

"You still should have come to me." He said as clearly he had read it but is smuggling it to a Dragon Preserve truly a bad thing.

"Professor I don't mean to be rude but smuggling can be considered a crime in some countries but I assure you we had the best intentions in mind." Joseph said as he looked to Snape. "We just wanted the dragon to get to a Preserve or a colony we all knew a Dragon like that wouldn't do well as a domesticated beast and needed to be with others of its kind. Was it so wrong to try and do the right thing for a creature like that? Do we really need to show our classmates that a Slytherine is in fact what everyone says it is?" Joseph asked as he looked to Snape on this.

Snape looked to Joseph and for a moment had a flashback to a young girl in the same house as was in Josephs place as he saw her like it was only yesterday as the flashback showed its face.

(Flashback)

Lily Evens age 10 going on 11 was standing in a field as she opened her palm and showed a seed which was growing a flower from said seed to her elder Sister Petunia Evans. "Freak!" Petunia cried out as it seems it was fueled by jealous as in those days they were all unaware of fates cruel machinations for these young naïve youthful children. "Come here I'm gonna tell mummy you're a freak your freaky!" Petunia yelled as Lily had run off but then from the tree a younger Nero age 10 going on 11 and a younger Snape the same age walked out as Snape glared at Petunia as Nero looked ready to jump in when and if she needed to as young Snape alone was enough to scare off young Petunia.

Nero then picked up a seed of her own and opened her own palm to Lily who then saw in amazement as a rose sprouted from the seed as the two smiled at each other as around Nero's neck tied to a silver chain was the same ring Joseph himself now wears on his left hand.

Snape saw this and picked up a grass sprout and allowed it to fly off torts Lily as the three smiled to each other forging a new budding friendship here.

(Later in the same Flashback)

The three were soon by the lake as they looked at the sky watching clouds roll by as nearby a snake watched the whole exchange. "She's jealous she's ordinary your special." Severus said as he looked to Lily.

"What does that mean Severus?" Lily asked before Nero spoke up.

"Look at the sky Lily Flower and you'll see." Nero said as she then focused on the trees with Severus as soon the tree began to lose its leaves which began to flap about like birds and in their places were Cherry Blossom Petals as the trio of friends laughed a bit as they all saw this.

(Later)

The three were soon sitting upon the same tree as Nero had brought popsicles for them to enjoy as they watched the sunset as Lily smiled as did Nero. "This is the icing on the cake." Nero said as she smiled to her friends as Lily did the same as they watched the sunset.

"Let's do this every day then!" Lily quipped in as she smiled to the two.

"Doesn't this seem cliché though?" Nero asked in a joking manner as Severus smiled as well.

"No… I think we all deserve to enjoy this." Severus said as the sun set in the horizon.

"Yeah… I guess we do." Nero said as the two relaxed and enjoyed the sunset with their ice cream sticks.

(Later in the Flashback Hogwarts Express Start of Term)

Nero, Lily, and Severus were gathered as Nero was reading the novelized version of H.P. Lovecraft's research as Nero was enjoying it as Lily rolled her eyes as Severus himself felt queasy about the images inside. The compartment they were in on the Hogwarts Express was a boy who had an odd resemblance to Harry as two other boys as well.

"So Lily what house you aiming for?" Nero asked as Lily then smiled a bit.

"Personally I'm not sure." Lily said as Nero and Severus were trying to distract Lily form the huge argument she had with Petunia before boarding the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts.

"Me personally I want to be in Slytherine." Nero said as Lily chuckled a bit.

"Why because you have a pet snake?" Lily joked as Nero glared.

"Hey Naga isn't that bad she just needs time to get use to new things." Nero countered as the snake was an approved familiar in school for Nero.

"I also want to be a Slytherine." Severus said silently as James Potter heard this.

"Who wants to be in Slytherine? I think I'd leave, wouldn't you?" James asked the boy Sirius Black with a jolt.

"Oh yeah?" Nero began as she stood up on the chair glaring down at James. "And what's wrong with being a Slytherine afraid I might bite you and give you venom? Or are you worried I'll go dark because of all those stupid rumors there are?!" Nero accused as she looked down on a shocked James. "I'm going to be the first Slytherine that proves that not all of us are cut from the same cloth so you better deal with it!" Nero called out as everyone was shocked how Nero would so easily stand her ground like that.

"My whole family had been in Slytherine." Sirius said as Nero looked.

"Then you want to be with them?" Nero asked as Sirius looked.

"Nope I'm hoping to break the tradition." Sirius said as Nero jumped down and surprised him when she got close.

"Then you and I are alike, I want to be a Slytherine to break the stereotypes on them and you want to be one who breaks a tradition. I like you." Nero said as this day she had become Snape learned she would become a borderline between him and James with the Marauders.

"You're not bad yourself then clearly not a Slytherine." James said as Nero smiled.

"Don't judge a book by its cover. My main ambition is to break the stereotype and then… hmm I guess me next ambition after that is to crack Lovecraft's notes." Nero said holding the book in question as it was the very same one Joseph would have in years to come.

"Now that is ambitious." James said as Nero simply smiled to what she considered a compliment.

(End Flashback)

He released them from his hold but continued to watch them. "All three of you get to your dormitories immediately. If I hear a single word about you three wandering the corridors again, without my permission, you'll wish that it was Professor McGonagall who dealt with you." Snape quickly turned on his heel and walked back down the corridor as he looked to Joseph as he swore it was like watching Nero again with Lily.

The three looked at each other before they sprinted the few yards back to the Slytherin dungeon. Draco quickly said the password, and ran into the common room as Elisa made her way to the girls dormitories as Dracon knew now was the time. "Ok talk you knew I would also get in trouble wouldn't you!" Draco yelled as Joseph sat on the comfy chair and chuckled a bit.

"That I did Mr. Malfoy that I did." Joseph said not even denying it. "Besides even if I told you, that you too would get in trouble you wouldn't have believed me anyway." Joseph said as Draco glared. "But know this Mr. Malfoy your favor to me will be rewarded just have patience will you." The Seeker for Slytherin said as he looked to Draco who glared at the Half-Blood posing as a Muggle born.

"You better." Draco said before heading to his dorm room with Joseph following close behind him.

Joseph sat on his bed and smirked as he relaxed a bit before looking upon his heir ring. "All according to the grand scheme of things." Joseph said as he may hate himself for this but he needs to make Harry stronger strong enough to challenge Joseph when he fully becomes Master Therion his path was paved with selfish intentions for release from this cycle so he was sure Hell would serve as a better place then eternally living the life of a man forced to be reborn through the ages of time to battle his nemesis.

(Scene Break the Next Night)

"So how is it that we get a summons to detention like we're going to court?" Joseph asked as he, Ron, Elisa, Al, Hermione, and Harry with Draco were following Filch for detention.

"Joseph it's just one of those wizarding things." Hermione said as she looked to Joseph.

"A strange one if you ask me." Elisa spoke up as Al rolled her eyes.

"And a stupid one." Al quipped in as Harry looked.

"Look as long as we don't make a habit of this I think we can all go home at the end of term with our heads held high." Harry said as Ron nodded to that.

"Yeah no complaints from me there." Ron said as he followed after his friends and Draco who then decided to speak up.

"Where are we going?" Draco demanded like the spoiled child he was.

Filch narrowed his eyes before he responded, "Looks like you'll have to wait and find out, now won't you?" With that, the caretaker stepped outside and the five first years followed behind him. As they walked down the path, Hermione stayed right at Filch's heels, nearly tripping the man several times. Al, Harry, and Ron followed behind Hermione with Joseph and Elisa right behind them as Filch then decided to speak once more. "I bet you lot will think twice about trying to break a school rule again, eh?" Filch said looking over his shoulder at the first years Hogwarts Students.

"Yes oh great and powerful ground keeper we misbehaving students will never pull something like this again." AL silently whispered to the three boys who then snickered as Draco ignored them as Filch then stopped rambling to himself and turn around. "What do we have going on here?" Filch questioned as neither boy said a word with Filch looking between the first years suspiciously. "It's a pity they let the old punishments die. Otherwise you lot would be hanging by your wrists from the ceiling for a few year I petition Dumbledore to go back to the good ol' ways, but no..." The caretaker sighed. "God, I miss the screaming."

The first years looked between each other at Filch's words, each of them looking a little terrified. But the caretaker urged them forward, although, his next words did nothing to calm them. "Still keep the chains oiled in my office in case we need them again. Now, off we go."

The group was almost to Hagrid's hut when Filch suddenly came to a stop. He slowly turned and looked at each of them. "You lot will be serving detention with Hagrid tonight," he said. "He's got a little job to do inside the Dark Forest." Filch said as Joseph heard this as he and Elisa wavered back torts Draco and bumped him a bit but Joseph then whispered to Draco's ear with his magic silencing it to the others ears.

"Get Harry and Al alone in the forest and leave them be." Joseph whispered to Draco as he shivered up a bit and then nodded to this dark young man who frightened him.

As they drew closer to Hagrid's, they could see his large frame standing outside holding a lantern beside a gently roaring fire. "A right sorry lot they are, Hagrid," Filch said as they approached Hagrid. "If they know what's good for them, they'll get their wits about them before they go into the Forest." Filch said as Harry and Al weren't scared but Joseph did seem a bit scared already running numbers in his head of how this could go horribly wrong for them.

Draco's eyes widened. "The Forest? The Forest? I thought that was a joke," he snapped. "We can't go in there. Students aren't allowed." Draco said as he was scared out of his wits for this.

Filch smirked at him. "Should've thought about that before you got yourselves a detention, eh?" Filch said almost mocking them all as Joseph saw they had to be careful while inside the forest.

"But there are...werewolves in there," the Slytherin boy added as Al scoffed at this.

"Hence why we bring silver with us if we can." Al said as she then added one more. "And Wolves bane if we can find some." Al said as she sounded like she was prepared for anything in there.

Filch glanced toward the forest before he smirked at the children. "There's more than werewolves in there." he said with a delighted expression before he cackled. "You can be sure of that. In fact, werewolves are probably the least of your worries." He said as Al and Harry sighed in annoyance.

'Like Elder Gods and Outer Great Ones?' They both thought as if those things were in there they would have ran in with Demonbane to fight them off.

While still rather unsure, Draco stood a little taller and began, "My father…"

"May never hear from you again," Filch interrupted. He then grinned his crooked smile and said, "I'll be back for what's left of them at dawn. Nighty night." With that, Filch turned on his heel and walked away from them, leaving the first years with Hagrid.

"Alright, you lot," Hagrid said before motioning for the first years to follow him. "Yeh need to follow me fer a ways." Hagrid said as they were going to enter the Forbidden Forest.

Draco tried to argue once more. "You can't be serious." Hagrid simply arched an eyebrow at him, but Draco continued. "I am not going in there." Draco argued as he didn't want to die in there.

"Chicken." Joseph said as he walked passed Draco torts Hagrid with his friends.

"Yeh will if yeh want to stay at Hogwarts." Hagrid responded rather sternly ignoring Joseph's insult to Draco. "Yeh've done yer wrong and now yeh gotter pay fer it." Hagrid said as Joseph smirked as did Elisa.

Malfoy stopped walking and stared ahead at the forest rather uneasily. Harry took notice of the Slytherin boy's action and shook his head. "You scared, Malfoy?" Harry scoffed coming off more confident than he actually felt.

The Slytherin boy scoffed. "Scared? You wish, Potter." Draco retorted, also sounding more confident than he actually was. It was obvious they were trying to one-up the other. "I just hope you all enjoy the next article of the Daily Prophet, especially you two Azif and Potter." Draco said as they began entering the forest.

"Why what's going on?" Al asked accusingly as she glared at Draco's small threat.

"What would the Prophet want to talk about us… besides the Quiddich and my return to the wizarding world?" Harry asked as he wanted some answers to Draco's threat there.

Hagrid then stepped between the two boys. He placed a hand on each boy's shoulder. "Knock it off yeh three," Hagrid said. "We got er job ter do and Dumbledore'd have my head if yeh didn't come back alive." Hagrid said as Joseph looked.

Malfoy rolled his eyes. "Is that right? Then why's he sending us into the bloody forest then?" Draco demanded as Joseph then spoke.

"If he wanted us dead we'd be going in without Hagrid plus with Hagrid here at least we'll all survive." Joseph said as he looked to Draco.

Hagrid ignored Draco's comment and instead responded, "Stay alert, yeh lot. No distractions now." His last words were directed specifically toward Draco and Harry. He then walked into the Forbidden Forest.

(Later in the forest)

As they were walking through the forest Joseph and Elisa stayed close as Harry and Al did the same as Joseph looked to Hermione seeing how nervous she was. "Don't worry Mione we'll be in and out before anyone gets hurt." Joseph said in a comforting tone as Hermione nodded.

"Thank you Joseph." Hermione said before they all arrived at a pool of a silver metallic slime like liquid that Harry had to ask.

"Hagrid, what is that?" Harry asked curiously.

Hagrid dipped one of his fingers into the goop and brought it close to his face to examine it. He nodded his head and sighed. "It's what we're here for." Hagrid rubbed his fingers against the earth and then against his coat pocket. "That's unicorn blood, that is." He then adjusted the lantern to show it as Joseph looked.

"I read about those apparently any human in drinks it can prolong their life but also turns them into ghoul like creatures unable to survive without it." Joseph said as he looked to the dark substance.

"We'll start here then," Hagrid said as he knew Joseph may actually help here. "It's what we're here for. Found a unicorn dead a few weeks ago. This one's been badly injured." Hagrid gestured down at the metallic goop again. "We're gonna try and find the poor thing an' put it out of its misery." Hagrid said as Joseph was shocked by this.

"It would be the best thing to do." Al said as she personally found unicorns beautiful like Pegasus's but if its hurt this bad then it's probably better this way.

For a moment, the children were quiet, but Draco voiced what they were all thinking. "And what if whatever hurt the unicorn gets to us first?" His voice cracked a little at the end, revealing his fear under the confident composure he tried to use as a mask.

Hagrid shifted his stance. "There's nothing in here that'll hurt yeh as long as yer with me or Fang," he stated even though Fang was cowering torts Hagrid away from Joseph.

"Now then Ron Hermione you'll come with me." Hagrid said as Ron looked scared.

"Ok." He squeaked very much afraid of what they may deal with.

"Harry and Al you two will go with Malfoy." Hagrid said as Joseph got the message.

"Yeah Animals don't really like me in fact most of the time they run away in fear of me." Joseph said as Hagrid knew that.

"Yes you walk into the Owlerly and they were all ready to fly away from you." Hagrid said as they did in fact fly off as that was a bloody long month for him to find them all in one piece.

"This is ridiculous. My father will hear about this." Draco grumbled as Hagrid arched an eyebrow at him until the pale boy finally rolled his eyes and gave a rather curt nod before he announced, "But I get Fang."

"Yeh were gonna get 'im anyway," Hagrid almost scoffed with a shake of his head. "Just so yeh know, he's a bloody coward. Now, make sure yeh stick together. Stick to the path. If yeh find the unicorn send up green sparks with yer wands. Let's make sure yeh know how to do it." So, Hagrid had them practice shooting green sparks with their wands. "An' if yer in trouble send red sparks. Let's see those too."

After each of them had successfully sent red sparks from their wands, it was time to split up. At the Fork Joseph and Elisa took a path there own as they split up onto three teams as Joseph and Elisa stuck together on this.

(Later with Harry, Draco, and Al)

Draco held the lantern as the three of them slowly inched forward with Fang at their side. The trio stayed rather close together, with Al wedged between Harry and Malfoy. "Wait till my father hears about this, this is servant stuff I tell you." Draco complained as Harry then spoke up.

"If I didn't know any better I'd say you were scared Malfoy." Harry said as they walked down the forest path.

"I'm not scared Potter." Draco scoffed before an echoing growl of a beast was heard as the three looked to it Draco being the first. "Do you hear that?" Draco asked as Al laughed.

"Yes the sound of something contradicting you." Al taunted as Draco glared at her as they kept walking.

"Come on Fang." Harry called as they continued walking through the dark and deadly forest.

As they continued down the narrow path, Malfoy had to urge Fang to continue following them. With one hand holding the lantern and the other attached to Fang, the blonde Slytherin dragged the poor dog along with them. Hagrid was right. The dog was a bloody coward and Al wasn't sure how that was supposed to keep them safe not like she and Harry really needed it. "Come on you stupid dog," Draco hissed as he struggled with Fang who didn't want to go to a scary place.

For a moment, Fang stopped struggling and his ears perked up a little. He then pulled away from Draco and trotted out in front of them. The three first years looked at each other in confusion for a moment before Harry said, "What is it, Fang?"

The unlikely trio slowly inched forward after Fang. While the boys would never admit it in front of each other, they were all terrified. Fang came to a sudden stop in the middle of a clearing in the forest, a dim light softly shining through the trees. As the first years approached Fang, they could hear his low growling. The children looked at each other, unsure of how to proceed because clearly, Fang was growling at something or someone.

"Shine the lantern over there," Harry said pointing in the direction Fang was facing. Draco did as Harry asked without a complaint, surprising both Harry and Al. Without moving his feet, he held the lantern out as far as he could reach.

It took a few seconds for their eyes to adjust but when they did Harry gasped while Al growled as they all spotted a hooded figure bending low over something. For a moment, neither boy responded. It was as if they were all frozen as they were huddled together, no one made move for their wand to send up sparks as Harry himself was having small flashes to the dreams the ones where he saw his mother die protecting him. All walked a bit next to Harry as she caused a twig to snap. To the first years, the sound of that twig snapping seemed to reverberate through the entire forest. The hooded figure quickly turned and looked directly at them. Not good.

Harry and Al both refused to scream as compared to the Elder Gods they had to fight off for the Marauders Organization this was just a run of the mill monster. But Malfoy screamed plenty loud enough for all three of them. Then everything seemed to happen so fast as Malfoy and Fang ran away as Harry and Al looked seeing them run off.

"Harry…" Al began as Harry nodded.

"I know." Harry said as the two then knuckle bumped each other as soon there contract allowed there shared magic to synch up and soon the wraith was just about to attack moving like a shadow as the burst of magic sent it back showing Harry in his Magius form once more standing at equal height to it.

"Not so tough now are you monster." Harry growled as the creature seemed shock Harry had attained this power and form.

Soon out of nowhere a powerful beam of light fired pass the creature as it was burned by its power just as it was close to it as Harry used his shielding magic to protect himself from it. The creature looked to where it came from as did Harry as Harry and Al were wide eyed when they saw none other than Master Therion.

"Step away from my enemy and rival Voldemort." Master Therion threatened as he glared at Voldemort.

"Voldemort!?" Harry and Al asked at the same time as the creature glared at Master Therion before going for the attack.

Therion smiled his playful smile before he in turn waited and once the Alleged Voldemort was upon him he grabbed him by the beck through the hood as Master Therion smiled to him as the wraith struggled to get free. Therion then moved his head next to Voldemort's before whispering into his ear in a tongue Voldemort sounded shock to hear.

"I am Master Therion and you still have a use to me. So be gone!" Master Therion said before blasting Voldemort to the other side of the clearing before Voldemort was forced to escape.

"Master Therion." Harry growled as Master Therion joined them in the clearing.

"Is that any way to talk to me after I aided you?" Master Therion teased as he looked to Harry.

"Well considering your track record." Harry said as he glared at Master Therion smug face.

"Oh my dear rival I am hurt but you are correct I didn't come here solely to aid you." Master Therion said as he then trenched his coat out before releasing it revealing Etheldredra standing by her master and owner.

"You want to fight with me again?!" Harry asked as he remembered how at the beginning of the year Master Therion had shown up and wiped the floor with him.

"Of course I've taken such a great interest in your development and the growth of your own powers that I had to see how far you have developed since we last met on the Hogwarts Express and in battle." Master Therion said as he crossed his arms to look upon Harry.

"How about you come and find out!" Harry challenged as Etheldredra glared at Harry.

"Don't show such a tone to my Master." Etheldredra threatened as Al glared.

"Try and stop us then!" Al countered as she floated next to Harry's head.

"Why let our Grimoire argue when we can do battle now." Master Therion said as he lifted up his hand and then snapped his fingers causing the four to vanish I a flash.

(Arkham)

Harry and Master Therion arrived in Arkham in the main street of the Magical Core as Master Therion seemed to be playful here. "You know Harry we can bend Arkham to our will, you and I." Master Therion said as he walked to the side to show an example as the empty building soon turned into confectioner's sweets shop. "Here in Arkham we Magius hold great power that we can change it to our will to form whatever it is we wish it to look like." Master Therion said as a puppet man walked out and gave to Master Therion and Etheldredra pieces of candy which was one they both enjoyed greatly Candy Drops.

"Anything we want here we can have it with a mere thought and the right amount of magic." Master Therion said as he put his empty bag of candy between his closed hands and once separated he separated his hands they revealed to be the Wizard Cards that Harry had gotten with Ron on the Hogwarts Express.

"I thought you wanted to fight Master Therion!" Harry roared at him as Master Therion chuckled playfully.

"I know and I'm just saying here we are like Demi-Gods bending the cosmos as we see fit but on Earth we are basically Gods as the last two true Magius in the world." Master Therion said as in his right hand revealed a micro planet Earth and in his left hand the cosmos. "Don't you realize that with this power we can end all evil with just a mere thought you the hero who wants to help everyone?" Master Therion said as he pointed an accusing finger at Harry glared at Master Therion.

"No that's not my place to act as judge jury and executioner!" Harry yelled back as Master Therion then laughed a bit there.

"Oh that's what I like about you Harry Potter… always intent on siding with the light just like before." Master Therion said though he whispered the last three words to himself. "But I have bored you long enough I suppose we can begin the main course now." Master Therion said as soon the area behind him shattered like glass revealing Liber Legis as he and Etheldredra floated to the Deus Machina as Harry looked to Al.

"Let's summon it Al!" Harry called as he then flew up and began the spell.

He began to spin creating runes as Harry was summoning his ally. "From the Hate scorched sky..." Harry began as he crated more runes. "With righteous anger in our hearts..." Harry continued as she created more runes around her. "We draw forth the sword that smites evil!" He continued as he did a spin as he was now surrounded by these rings of runes. "Thou art the innocent sword," Harry continued as he raised his hand in the air as the runes entered his raised right hand. "DEMONBANE!" He invoked finishing the spell as she came downward as when Harry hit the ground the magical seal appeared above them all as Ron and Hermione were in shock to it as then Demonbane appeared from it as Harry vanished inside the giant with Al.

(Demonbane)

Harry was once more inside Demonbane as his body began to break apart into pages of an old book as he began to appear in a sphere of light. As Harry broke apart into Book pages Al was left behind in a sort of bike seat as Harry's body formed in the sphere. Al had her arms crossed as the small wings on her bake broke apart and flew up and wrapped around her head creating a helmet to which Al then grabbed the handles causing the helmet to sprout to ear like parts from the sides.

Harry's body soon finished forming from paper and before regaining the coloring of his Magius form as soon the ball of light was covered in paper before it turned black and formed his screen which then activated showing Harry what was before him and Demonbane. Harry then stretched his neck a bit as his hair flowed elegantly with him in this form before he breathed out an ominous breath before his eyes snapped open as did Demonbane's.

(Battlefield)

Demonbane and Liber Legis glared at each other waiting for the foe to make the first move as soon Liber Legis opened its hand to reveal of a ball of dark energy which then burst out changing the area they were in to a different one. This new area had what looked like a holy aura to it as it had heavenly lights shining down from the sky. There were floating stair steps going in a spiral as around the area were large slabs with the symbols of the old Gods floating around them.

(Master Therion)

"Enjoy the scenery I created Harry Potter?" Master Therion asked as he was floating in his part of Liber Legis Cockpit with Etheldredra in her own part both of which were similar to Harry and Al in Demonbane. "I figured you would enjoy such an environment in our duel here." Master Therion said as he seemed to enjoy these get-together's with his rival.

"You should rejoice Harry Potter and Necronomicon for my Master's generosity for my Master has graciously chose to create this environment for you two to duel within." Etheldredra said as she smirked at the contracted pair within Demonbane.

(Harry)

"Yeah I'll thank him when I beat him in this place" Harry said as Al agreed with her own master's statement.

(Master Therion)

"Very well then Harry Potter shall we dance this waltz of blood?" Master Therion offered as he smirked to his rival before him.

(Battlefield)

"Yeah lets." Harry said called out from within Demonbane as the Deus Machina took a battle stance as Liber Legis was ready to fight.

Demonbane charged first as it fired its Vulcan guns from its head as it charged at Liber Legis who used a Mystic Defense to block the weapon in question. Demonbane was then upon Liber Legis as it then tried to kick Liber Legis who blocked the attack only for Demonbane to use the momentum to kick Liber Legis in the head releasing its hold on Demonbane's leg.

Demonbane landed on a stair step which showed the steps to heaven were the size of the God Machines. Liber Legis flew to the side showing it held the power of flight and in turn Demonbane began climbing the steps in question as Liber Legis followed after it.

"Cthugha." Harry began as the glow in Demonbane right hand turned into a large Magnum gun. "And Ithaqua!" Harry finished as the blue glow in the left became a revolver weapon.

Demonbane then began firing at Liber Legis as the opposing Deus Machina under Master Therion's control dodged the attack from one and shielded itself from the attack of the other. Master Therion then once more revealed its weapons. "Bow of Sirius!" Master Therion invoked as he began firing arrow shots at Demonbane who dodged them as Master Therion was using multiple arrows at once.

It became a fire fight with ranged weapons as the two scaled the tower until they hit a wall of sorts but easily breached through it to arrive at what a battlefield of Heaven would look like. The two jumped upward and landed as Liber Legis lowered to the ground and called off its wings as it glared at Demonbane who returned the same glare.

"Scimitar of Barzai!" Harry invoked as Demonbane pulled out its close range weapon of choice.

"Sword of Gold Cross!" Master Therion invoked as Liber Legis summoned a glittering golden sword that's form matched its name perfectly down to the letter.

The two Deus Machina's charged at each other as they swung there blades at each other beginning a sword fight between the towering Manmade Gods. AS the two fought there blades soon clashed with each other as Demonbane then fired its Vulcan shots at Liber Legis as the opposing Deus Machina was forced to pull back from its opponents attack.

Liber Legis then summoned more swords which were then sent at Demonbane who dodged the blades attempt to impale it as it seemed the two Deus Machina's were evenly matched. Soon Demonbane's form changed for the Atlantic Strike as Liber Legis was ready for it.

(Demonbane)

"Let's see how he likes this!" Harry called out as he and Al roared together.

(Liber Legis)

"Here he comes." Master Therion said as it could be noticed that he was enjoying this battle or sparring practice as it were.

"It is ready Master." Etheldredra said as it was time to counter attack.

(Battlefield)

"Atlantis Strike!" Harry and Al could be heard reverberating as Demonbane had jumped upward to perform its drop kick attack.

"Abrahadabra!" Master Therion and Etheldredra invoked as Master Therion's magic energy cannon show collided with Demonbane's attack at point blank range as the attacks collided. The resulting energies knocked the two mechs off the tower and to the ground below as they fell from the heavens themselves.

(Ground level)

Demonbane activated its mystic defense to cushion its fall as Liber Legis landed softly using its returned wings as it looked down upon Deus Machina Demonbane.

(Liber Legis)

"How amusing how truly and utterly amusing!" Master Therion laughed as he was enjoying himself for as far as he could see only Harry could invite such excitement from Dark Lord Master Therion.

(Battlefield)

Demonbane got its feet back under it as it seems it was having trouble with this very fight.

(Demonbane)

"Any bright ideas?" Harry asked his partner as she looked.

"We need to use 'that,' spell." Al said as Harry was shocked by this announcement.

"But is it ready?" Harry asked as he knew it was a risky move now.

"Only one way to find out." Al said as she looked ready to use the spell they were talking about.

"Ok I'll use it." Harry said as he got ready.

(Battlefield)

"REAPERS SHADE!" The two invoked as Liber Legis was coming for an attack only to see Demonbane had vanished from sight just as Liber Legis strike down upon the spot missing Demonbane.

(Liber Legis)

"Where did they go?" Master Therion asked confused and interested as Harry's past selves didn't have that spell if he could recall correctly.

"It must be a new spell he had acquired." Etheldredra said as she could not pick the opposing Deus Machina on her instruments.

"Strange and exciting." Master Therion said as he began this game of hide and go seek with Harry.

(Battlefield)

Liber Legis was walking about looking for the missing Demonbane as it was careful to keep its eyes and ears peeled for its opponent. Soon an invisible kick struck Liber Legis from behind as Liber Legis responded to attack but missed as soon a punch to its side had hit as Liber Legis tried to hit the attacker again but once more missed the attack.

The cycle repeated as Liber Legis was getting surprise attack after surprise attack but then Liber Legis acted upon Master Therion's commands and reached out and grabbed something bit its neck as the spell was cut off revealing Demonbane.

"Reapers Shade huh? Would that by chance have been used using the same principle as the Cloak of Invisibility by chance?" Master Therion asked as he found this quiet interesting here.

(Master Therion)

"Creating your own original spell like that to hide without any form of detection by me or any opponent quiet cunning." Master Therion said as he was impressed how Harry could invent such a spell to use in battle. "But…" Master Therion began as he looked bored not with Harry but with what he had to do now. "This examination is over for now." Master Therion said as he looked to Demonbane.

(Battlefield)

Liber Legis released Demonbane as the evil Deus Machina began to rise up to the sky while vanishing from sight. "I enjoyed our time here Harry but I must be off please give my regards to Hogwarts and the headmaster Albus Dumbledore and inform him that once he is done with the Mirror of Erised I would every much like to use it." Master Therion said as soon Liber Legis was gone from sight.

(Demonbane)

"Why did he leave?" Harry asked as it didn't make sense Master Therion had them right where he wanted them but he didn't take the killing blow there.

"I don't know maybe he was just toying with us." Al said as they have gotten stronger here but not enough to really give Master Therion a real challenging opponent to fight.

"And why did he mentioned the Mirror of Erised?" Harry asked as things weren't adding up here with the many questions yet so little answers.

"For now let's send Demonbane back for repairs and return to the forest before that pansy Draco returns." Al said as Harry nodded in agreement to Al.

(Forbidden Forest Later)

Harry and Al had made it back in one piece as they looked around and saw Draco hasn't returned yet with the other. He also took notice to some of the trees had fallen no doubt from an earthquake of his and Master Therion's battle with Demonbane and Liber Legis.

Soon the sound of Fang barking was heard as Harry looked and saw Hagrid with Hermione, Ron and Draco arrived. "Harry Al!" Hermione called as she looked to the two shaken up by the earthquake.

"Yeh two alright there Harry Al that was one major random tremor we got hit with." Hagrid said as he looked to the two.

"Yeah it was." Harry said as then he noticed someone was missing.

"Wait where's; Joseph, and Elisa?!" Harry called worried his friends may have gotten hurt.

"Hello! Anyone alive here!" Came the voice of Joseph as everyone looked to see him and Elisa holding a lantern as they walked into the clearing.

"When the Earthquake hit I tried to find everyone but I think I got lucky." Joseph said as he looked shaken up as with Elisa.

"Thet yer did Joseph." Hagrid said as Elisa looked around.

"I think we should head back the monster who has been killing Unicorns won't come here if Joseph is still here." Elisa said knowing how creatures many of them avoided Joseph like a plague and sometimes even attack him like a cornered animal to a larger form of predator.

"After all thet excitement, why don't we wait for Filch near my place? Yeh got 'bout another hour yet. So maybe we'll get yer summat ter drink." None of the children objected to the idea. They silently followed Hagrid back to his hut.

(Later back at the Halls)

Once they arrived near Hagrid's, the rag-tag group remained outside near the forest's edge doing menial tasks while Hagrid brought some tin cups of water out for them as well as some rock cakes. Although, no one touched the rock cakes. They were exhausted from the lack of sleep and the traumatic events they had just experienced. Even Malfoy refrained from antagonizing the Gryffindor's due to his fatigue.

It was nearly thirty minutes after dawn when Filch finally came back for them. The old codger had probably figured that they hadn't made it out of the Forbidden Forest alive and that going to check on them was simply a mere technicality. Rather reluctantly, Filch led the group of children back to the castle. He saw them as far as the entrance hall. "Go on now," Filch said rather grumpily. "If I see any of you wandering where you shouldn't me again that'll be another detention." Filch eyed them all carefully before he limped away, muttering to himself.

"Well this was an exciting night." Joseph said as he stretched a bit. "I am going to bed and I'm going to sleep till I bloody well feel like waking up." Joseph said as he really enjoyed the weekends sometimes.

"Same I need to sleep off the events." Harry said as he had to tell Ron and Hermione what he dealt with recently and what he had learned as well.

"Well anyway goodnight all." Joseph said as he and Elisa took there leave as Draco had already left ahead of them to the Slytherin Dungeons.

(Scene Break that morning)

"You met with You-Know-Who?" Hermione whispered as she, Ron, and Al sat together as Joseph and Elisa were no doubt sleeping in today.

"I think Master Therion called him that when he scared him off." Harry said as Ron balked at the last one.

"And he was there two blimey Harry you dodged a killing curse there." Ron said as Harry looked.

"I wouldn't say that Ron he and I fought in Arkham probably caused the Earthquake while doing it." Harry said as he looked to his friends. "But I do know that Master Therion and Voldemort aren't allies not in the slightest." Harry said as Al added her own thing in.

"Yes." Al said as she heard about Voldemort and knew there was a chance Voldemort would try and recruit Master Therion to his cause or the other way around. "If those two ever decide to join forces. I wouldn't count on an easy victory in the coming days." Al said as Ron gulped to this as Hermione looked nervous.

Soon the Owls came in dropping off packages and such as the normal as soon they Daily Prophet came as part of them as Harry caught his copy after he had started his subscription to them. Harry then opened it expecting another Black Lodge news story, The Minister trying to cover it up and being called out on it, or a combo of the two. But no instead what he found was his face and Al in a picture together as it was clearly the one of him, Joseph, Hermione, Elisa, and Ron when Joseph got his camera working but it was cut out to show just him and Al as Al was shocked and blushing deep red seeing it.

"SON OF A BITCH!" Al yelled as on the cover was Harry and Al looking like a couple as the headline should be self-explanatory.

"DAILY PROPHET EXCLUSIVE! Boy Who Lived and Abdul Alhazred last heiress/Last Daughter of Alhazred having Romantic relations." The headline boldly proclaimed. Rage slowly boiled up in Al's chest as Harry was blushing in embarrassment as they began to read the article.

With the recent return of the boy who lived that had hit headlines all over there was also news that the famous Abdul Alhazred a powerful Wizard of his time said to be the second coming of Merlin had left a large sum of inheritance his family had procured over the years to his last living heir named Al Azif. The Heiress of the famous and most illustrious house of Alhazred or as many called it the reborn house of Azif has been seen with the young and dashing boy who lived as it has been speculated that the two have been in a romantic relationship of sorts. Some would even dare say that Al Azif is quite frankly Mr. Potter's bride-to-be upon their graduation. Such a marvelous and glorious union would even put the Potter Family and Azif Family at the highest hierarchy of our Wizarding community then even the Malfoy could ever hope to attain. This reporter though has only found these as speculations wishes the young happy couple a future of romance and that the possibilities of a marriage becomes a reality.

Needless to say Al was ready to rage upon Draco as Harry had no doubt realized this was what Draco had met when he talked about the Prophet. Harry and Al then noticed the students looking at the two in question as they looked like a pair of dear in headlights as they did the only thing they could think off.

"Run you two!" Hermione called as Fred and George jumped in as well as they four Gryffindor's covered the two first years as they ran out of the great hall to avoid the mass of fans wishing them happiness or worse asking about the wedding that would NEVER happen.

"Draco you're a dead man!" Al yelled as she and Harry ran for it.

"More running less talking!" Harry called as they ran away to avoid there new fan base. The only spot they could think of to hide out at was Hagrid's hut and pray the half giant will protect them from the mob.

(TBC)

ESKK: Hey got this out and just in time too. Now then please review as I head out to work and like always ja-ne.
