Response to reviews:

Lego Land: If you don't like what I write, stop reading, I don't need negative criticism. Constructive I will accept, otherwise, don't say anything, as I will not put it into action. Especially seeing how this is AU and characters will be OOC. And seeing as you didn't put in a single polite thing in your reviews, I don't really want you to review again, I don't care for flames, and that was all it was.

Slytherin66: Thank you for your kind words! I did wonder why Rowling didn't expand on Tonk's ability to shapeshift in the series, as it could have changed the path the war took. Harry won't really start to train it for a while, however as he is still young and needs the basics before he gets to the tougher things.

TheBearWolf: I realize that I am putting things out of order, but when I started writing I realized I didn't want to dwell too long in Arthurian times and so sped things up a little. Also when I was writing I didn't remember when she found out and thought I remembered Morgause calling her her sister. I am sorry for my mistake, but I have no intention to change it as it does move things a bit quicker then it would otherwise.

GreenInsomniaWriter: I am happy that you think it has a good plot, however I don't appreciate being called desperate, and if you are going to critique me, use proper grammar likewise, and spelling, otherwise you are in danger of being the pot that calls the kettle black. When I wrote the first two chapters it was basically in one go, and the third one came when I recaptured my chain of thought. "Screaming in rage" also isn't a grammatical error, you can scream in fright as well, so I don't see how it is a problem. And don't think for a second that I require a beta just because you say so.

I would also add that while Morgana dies in the show, that does not mean she will die here. This is AU after all, and I look forward to seeing where it goes. After all, nothing is set in stone.

To everyone else who reviewed: Thank you for taking the time to tell me what you think, I am glad that you enjoyed it enough to say "keep going".

Harry Potter and the Will of Magic


When she woke up the next morning in her bed, Morgana jolted upright. She had just been talking to Morgause when she fell asleep all of a sudden. Shaking her head, she pushed back the covers and got to her feet. It was at that moment that Gwen walked in the door.

As she went about her morning duties, Geoffrey walked in, rubbing his right eye sleepily with a closed fist as the other one was held by a young servant girl who couldn't keep the smile off her face as she looked down at the cute image he presented.

Smiling brightly, Morgana walked over and scooped her little boy into her arms, kissing his forehead with a "good morning" that she whispered happily in his ear as she walked over to her changing screen and set him down outside it and started to get dressed.

Today she had the strange urge to wear trousers, but she didn't know why. Chocking it up to her future-seeing abilities, she went along with it, and soon she was wearing dark-brownish-violet pants and a matching blouse.

When she emerged from the screen, Geoff clapped his hands happily and said, "Mommy looks like a Warrior Princess!"

Her smile spread from ear to ear as she reached down and scooped him up into her arms again, cooing at him and saying how precious he was. He was beet-red when they arrived in the dining hall, and they were both shocked to see that there was no one there, and as they turned around, they realized that all the guards that they had passed that they had thought were just tired leaning against their spears were really sleeping and would fall down at any second.

*Crash*

Sure enough, all the soldiers fell to the ground, their chests rising and falling at the same time as they slept upon the stone floor.

Morgana stared in shock, Geoffrey along with her as she hurried to Gaius to ask about what was happening. It was while she was running that her little boy started to drift off as well. It was only when he was breathing softly in her arms that she realized what had happened.

Her heart clenched in fear as she ran to Gaius' quarters to ask the Court Physician about the strange sickness that was taking hold of the castle.

But upon arrival she only found Merlin hastily covering up something that she (correctly) assumed was his spellbook.

He looked up at her and his eyes showed his relief at seeing someone who wasn't asleep, although they hardened at the sight of Geoff in her arms.

"Merlin? What's happening?" She asked as softly as possible. Even if Geoffrey was put in an enchanted sleep, she was afraid of waking him seeing as he looked so sweet lying in her arms.

The young warlock shook his head, "I don't know, but there are dark forces at work here."

And that was when the sound of metal on stone reverberated through the hall beyond the door. Hastily the two that were awake hid behind the open door and waited with baited breaths as the Knight of Medhir stood in the doorway, a giant shadow blocking out the light.

Morgana held Geoffrey close, his face in the crook of her neck as she shivered in fear, not for herself, but for the little boy that had grabbed her heart.

The enchanted knight soon moved on from the doorway, its metal boots sending echoes through the hall. Morgana and Merlin came out from behind the door.

"We need to get to Uther," the young warlock said quickly, his breath coming quickly as his heart beat fast.

The King's Ward wanted to say "forget Uther!" but she wasn't supposed to know that he was her father. If she hadn't come across a letter from her long-dead mother cursing him for impregnating her she never would have known. It appeared that Igraine had figured out who was responsible even with all the safeguards he had put in place. She wasn't stupid after all.

And so she just nodded her head, tightening her hold on the boy and followed Merlin out.

The two moved as quickly and quietly as they could to Uther's chambers, but still they managed to lose each other. Or rather, Merlin lost Morgana as he needed to ask Kilgharrah and find out what was behind all of this.

Needless to say he was slightly conflicted when he got the answer, but he was determined to see this through to the end. He would not allow his destiny to be stopped by anyone, not even her.

Morgana made it to Uther's chambers in one piece, much to her surprise. She had accidentally run into one of the Knights, but it had just kept on walking after she went by him, not even attempting to harm her.

And so she was quite irritated to find that Merlin was in fact not in front of her. The fool had managed to get lost? She shook her head. No, he couldn't get lost, his job centered around knowing how to get around the castle with as little fuss as possible.

She opened the door as quickly as one can while holding a toddler in their arms and went inside. Placing her child down large pillow that she grabbed from the bed and laying it down behind a curtain on the side of the room she gently lowered him onto it and smiled as Geoffrey gave a small whimper at the loss of heat.

When she heard footsteps coming toward her, she grabbed the sword that Uther always kept beside his bed and held it close to her as she knelt behind the curtain, intent on protecting him as long as she could when the door burst open. She leapt out of her hiding place, sword raised in the air when the intruder shouted, "Morgana! It's me, Merlin!"

She stopped mid-swing, finally focusing on the person and she realized that he was indeed Merlin, much to her chagrin. Her face went from relief that he wasn't a Knight to rage that he hadn't been here when he was the one that said that they needed to get here first. And it seemed that he had brought Arthur along as well. Brilliant.

"Morgana!" her half-brother cried running over to hug her. The only positive thing about him was that he didn't fake his emotions or lie to her, but he was still cut from the same slate as his father, so she subtly worked her way out of his arms and went back over to Geoffrey, picking him up after passing her sword off to Merlin.

The Prince and his servant quickly got to work moving Uther from his bed to a carpet that they could pull him with easily and hid him behind the curtain that Morgana had just vacated. The three hid with their sleeping cargo as a Knight walked inside. They waited as it drew closer to the bed, most likely expecting Uther to be lying there when Arthur jumped out and struck, his sword flashing through the air as he swung at the ensorcelled knight from the side. Obviously Arthur had forgotten what Gaius had said the other day as the armored warrior blocked the strike with his metal bracers. Needless to say the attack failed.

Then Merlin struck.

Knight and Warlock fought as one before finally taking the thing down. But when it moaned, they knew it was not for long.

And so they quickly put away their weapons and started to drag the sleeping king from the room, Morgana still cradling Geoff in her arms.

Making their way down the halls empty save for slumbering guards, they came upon another Knight, and Arthur and Merlin fought together again and once again temporarily defeated it. But it came at a price: Arthur was getting tired.

And so, trying to get to the Throne Room, Arthur succumbed to the enchantment at last, when they were but two corners away from their goal.

And so Merlin and Morgana went on ahead, after hiding Arthur in an alcove out of sight, and a third Knight appeared, or was it the first one? No matter, they all look the same, so ONE of the Knights of Medhir made its presence known behind them and Morgana lost her footing, tripping over a crack that sent her to the floor. She tightened her arms around Geoff in an effort to spare him of pain, and scraped her arms on the stone in the process.

She looked up as Merlin kept going, not even stopping to try and help her.

"Merlin!" She begged, 'Don't leave me' were the words her eyes cried, but he kept going, his eyes grim.

The Knight advanced, quickly coming upon her. She curled herself around her child, pulling him tight to her chest and awaited the blow to fall, but it kept going. She managed to get up shakily after it turned the corner, and she went after Merlin.

When she made to the Throne Room, the pushed the door open and shut it behind her quickly. She looked over at Merlin who had lain Uther down to the back of the room. She rushed over to him and gently laid her charge down against the wall. Merlin confronted her when she came to the center of the room.

"How did you get past them?"

"I don't know, maybe they didn't see me as a threat." She said honestly having no clue why they didn't touch her.

He eyed her suspiciously before offering her a drink of water after he took one.

She took it gratefully, and it wasn't until she started choking that she realized that she had been poisoned. And, unfortunately, Geoff chose that moment to wake up.

Rubbing his eyes sleepily, he yawned cutely before shakily getting to his feet, and wobbling toward the center of the room where Morgana was being held as the poison took its hold on her, bringing her closer and closer to her death.

When he saw her, he screamed. Rushing forward, he latched onto her, despite Merlin trying to keep him away.

"Mommy, mommy! Don't leave me! Don't die please mommy!"

And it was this scene that Morgause walked in on when her knights opened the doors.

Her eyes widened in panic as she lunged toward her half-sister, holding her head in her arms. She looked up at Merlin, "Tell me what the poison is and I will cure her."

He shook his head, "Not until you get undo the enchantment."

She growled, "Morgana is dying!"

"And you will never know what it is if you don't end it!" He yelled.

And so, with a heavy heart, she canceled her spell that kept all the inhabitants of Camelot asleep, and Merlin said, "Hemlock."

Her eyes narrowed dangerously, "You will pay for this, Merlin, you and all of Camelot!" And with that she grabbed her sister and the little boy that had somehow managed to get into her lap and disappeared in a blinding flash of light, in plain sight of a waking Uther.


So, tell me what you think. Until next time, guys! ^_^
