Chapter 21: The Rest of the Powers
"What happened?"
"I have no clue. He just fainted. He feels warm."
"Albus. You don't think Voldemort made HIM a…"
"I don't believe so. We should keep an eye on him just in case."
Harry was back in the garden just outside of Hogwarts.
"What happened?" He asked his ancestors when he saw them.
"We hath to render you unconscious." Helga explained. "Voldemort twas using thou to see inside Hogwarts."
"We hath cut off the connection." Rowena added. "You scar should not hurt anymore."
"Thanks." Harry said.
"As a matter of fact," Helga mentioned with a small smile. "Once Voldemort tis gone for good, thou scar shalt vanish."
"But I thought…"
"Dumbledore hath been wrong before." Rowena told him.
Godric added. "It tis time for the rest of your powers."
"I have more?" Harry asked.
"Yes." Godric said. "You understand how a mulit-animagus is only allowed one magical form?"
"Yes?"
"You art an exception." Godric said.
"I am? What other powers?"
Rowena started to list. "Occlumency, language, knowledge…those art all that tis left."
"I know what the first one is," Harry said. "But what about the last two?"
"Thou shalt be able to speak more than parseltongue and English." Helga told him.
"THANK YOU!" Harry said. "And knowledge?"
"Thou shalt understand when thou wakest up." Godric said and Harry blanked out.
"Dumbledore!" Snape said as he entered the hospital wing. "The Dark Lord almost got through Potter!"
"He nearly found out about us?" Lily asked.
"Yes. But Potter somehow blocked him out." Snape explained. "Has he been practicing Occlumency?"
"Not to my knowledge." James said as he looked at his unconscious son.

Three days had past and Harry hadn't woken up yet. James and Lily were taking turns teaching and sitting with their son.
"Nothing?" James asked as he entered the hospital wing.
"Nothing." She told him. "James. I'm worried."
"IT WORKED!" Melissa screamed as she ran into the hospital wing. "And it didn't take a week! It only took twenty-four hours…!"
Her great, big smile disappeared when she saw Harry unconscious.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Not sure." James told her. "We know Voldemort might have something to do with this."
"Harry?" Melissa asked before turning to her best friend. "How long has he been like this?"
"Three days." Lily told her friend.
Suddenly, Harry groaned.
"Harry?" Lily whispered.
Harry opened his eyes.
"Mum?" he asked quietly.
"Oh thank goodness." She sighed. "You had us scared."
"I'm sorry." Harry apologized.
"Harry?" James asked noticing something different. "What's wrong?"
"I'm just tired." Harry said. "More…powers…too…much…energy."
He went unconscious again.
"More powers?" Lily asked. "What does him mean?"
"I have no clue." James said.
"My baby." She cried as she held Harry's limp hand. "How come he's so weak?"
"Too much energy." Melissa repeated. "His body's not used to this amount of power."
"What are we going to do?" Lily asked.
"I have an idea." James said.

At Potter Manor a few minutes later,
James was in what he had dubbed the Devination's Room, or Dev room for short. There was a crystal ball, a tea set, and a mirror. He walked over to the mirror.
"Godric Gryffindor." He said to it.
The founder appeared in the mirror.
"Yes James Potter?" the founder asked.
"What happened to my son?" James asked.
"Do not be upset." Gryffindor told him. "Your son tis safe. The connection between him and Voldemort tis no more."
"Connection?"
"How else would the lad have those dreams about Riddle killing people?"
"Dumbledore DID tell us about that," James said. "But…we didn't think he'd actually use it again."
"He almost did." Gryffindor said. "Harry tis safe now."
"Can I see him?"
"Thou can attempt." Gryffindor said before vanishing.
"H-Harry Potter." James said praying that it would work.
"Dad?" Harry's voice came, but not his figure.
"Harry?" James asked. "Are you okay?"
"I…I think so." Harry's voice told him. "Whenever I try to wake up, my body is so sore, and I can hardly stay awake."
"Harry? What type of powers are you receiving?"
"Skill at Occulemency, being able to speak any language, and… Ravenclaw just said "knowledge." I'm not sure what that means, but it could explain why my head hurts whenever I try to wake up."
"Ravenclaw? Did she say how long you'd be out?"
"No."
Silence.
"Dad?" Harry asked almost panicky. "Are you still there?"
"Yes." James said. "Melissa got the cure working."
"That's great." Harry said. "Now we can get the werewolves on our side."
"Harry. I have to get back. I'm in the Divinations room at Potter Manor and your mother will start getting worried."
"Yeah." Harry agreed as his voice grew fainter. "I think I'm starting to drift back into consciousness again."
"We'll see each other again soon." James said. "Try to stay strong."
"I'll try."
The line went dead.

A few minutes later back at Hogwarts,
"You just missed him." Lily told her husband.
"We talked." He told his wife. "All we can do is wait."

Four days later,
The rest of the Order had been told about Harry's condition. Sirius was now sitting with James waiting for Harry to get stronger. Harry had been going in and out of consciousness more often, so they took that as a good sign. Especially the fact that he was conscious a lot longer than before.
"Sirius? Dad?" Harry asked as he drifted back into consciousness.
"Feeling better?" Sirius asked.
"A little." Harry whispered as he tried to keep his eyes opened.
"Harry." James told his son. "You HAVE to relax. Voldemort has been trying to get into your head, but can't. He hasn't tried anything else."
"But he's getting…stronger…each day." Harry told his father trying to sit up.
"You NEED to rest." Sirius agreed with James.
"I'm fine." Harry said holding his head as if he had a major headache.
"He's fine." Sirius told James. "If he's arguing with us, then he's a-okay."
"Harry?" Lily asked quietly as she entered with Remus, Melissa, Dumbledore, and Spica. "How are you feeling?"
"Aside from a headache, fine." He told her.
She gently hugged him.
He didn't hug back.
She looked back at him and saw his eyes were clouded over and held a faint gold light.
"Harry?" she asked.
Nothing.
"What's wrong with him?!" she asked with panic in her voice.
"He's apparently in a trance." Dumbledore explained.
"Get his friends!" Lily ordered before turning back to her son. "Harry!"
"What's going on?" Ginny asked as Remus opened the door to go get them. The Golden Group had been on their way to visit him when they heard Lily.
"He fell into a trance." James explained.
"Not again." Ron groaned.
Lily let James take over holding Harry as she went over to Ron. She knelt to his eye level and grabbed his shoulders.
"He's been like this before?" Lily asked.
"Only the normal…sleeping kind." Ron lied.
There was a soft gasp as Harry slumped into James' arms.
"Harry?" James asked his son as Harry groaned.
James was confused when Harry's eyes flashed from green to gold to red to black to blue to white and then to yellow over and over.
"What's going on?" Neville asked.
"He said something about more powers." James explained.
"MORE?!" the Golden Group asked.
