Chapter 14 - From Azkaban Comes Death
"A clown is like aspirin, only he works twice as fast" - Groucho Marx
"Sit down Harry, and let me explain, we will need your help."
"What happed, and why are there two of you?" Harry kept herself ready in case of any attack.
"Oh, forgive me, this is my rather infamous brother, Aberforth." Aberforth smiled at her.
"Right..."
Aberforth spoke up, "Voldemort has taken all of his followers to Azkaban and took over it."
Albus looked at the window, "But that's not the point, I spoke to Iris a few minutes ago and she explained everything to me. Yes, everything, she said that the 'Black Dagger' resides in the island of Azkaban."
Black Dagger.
Oh Bugger.
Aberforth spoke up again, "After he is done, Riddle will mostly head of Hogwarts, taking out his most feared enemy, my brother."
Oh dear, now we can't let that happen.
Albus turned to Harry, "I read that you have had some experience fighting him with this, sword."
Harry nodded.
"Good, I'll contact the rest of the Knights." With that Aberforth left the office.
The Headmaster sat down and pulled out a paper and a quill, starting to scribble furiously, took out his wand and waved at the parchment, making another one appear beside it. "I want you to take this to the Head Boy and Girl, both are in the great hall."
Harry took it and hurried down the stairs and down to the great hall, passing by the staircases and the entrance hall, finally reaching the great hall, where some students were seated, looking up as Harry stomped in. "Can the Head Boy and Girl come up here please." One figure from the Ravenclaw stood up and another from the Slytherin table. The two walked up to Harry with quizzical looks.
"What is it Professor?"
Harry grimaced, not used to the title, "The Headmaster has told me to give this to you."
"Very well." The Slytherin took it form her hand and pulled the other with her, away from Harry.
Harry sighed and backed away, understanding the Head Boy and Girl were scared of her. Hastening back to the Headmasters office, she saw that most of the school was now in darkness. Dumbledore must have shut them down for protection. "Harry!" Turning around she came face to face with Hope.
"You know my name already."
"I had a talk with Albus." Hope smiled.
"So tell me about this event."
"Voldemort had just arisen into a major Lord and took his small army to Azkaban."
"How could they win?"
"The Ministry didn't expect such a Lord to rise so fast. The prison was basically unguarded."
"Does the Ministry know?"
"No, the Aurors were part of the Knights."
"All of them? Anyway what are the Knights, I've read a lot of them."
Hope looked at her, "You mean that Albus hasn't told you yet? The Sapphire Knights are kind of a group which would go against the present threat."
"So kind of like the Order of the Phoenix."
"The what?"
"Nothing, " the head girl was walking briskly toward them, her face showing that she would rather not do this.
"The Headmaster requests your presence." And then walked past them.
"What's with her?" Hope asked as they stared walking towards the office.
"I don't think that she trusts me yet."
"Well, to really say, neither do I, but if Albus trusts you, all the better if I do too."
Harry frowned as they walked up the office. What was the use of her being here if no one trusted her?
"Hurry Harry, get in this chair."
Harry did what she was told, "Um, what are we doing."
Iris spoke up, "I am going to try to open up the information block in your mind, so you can use your magic information freely."
Harry blinked, "You'll remember things again." Hope helped out.
Iris then came into view and placed her hand on Harry's forehead, to which Harry fell asleep instantly. Waking up, Harry instantly screamed from her throbbing head. Then it all stopped.
"What..."
"Well it seems that you are awake finally, Harry." The old man's words echoed in her brain.
"What happened, why does my head hurt so much?" Harry shook her head trying in vain to get rid of the pain.
Iris walked into view, "When you must have taken Excalibur out of it's resting place, it gave you the knowledge of history. In short, you know all of history so accurately that you can even pinpoint the emotions of any person."
"So Excalibur had lived since the world began?"
"Excalibur itself is in form magic."
"I never heard that before." Hope said form behind Harry.
"That's because you weren't living when we found out." Iris started walking out the door.
"We? Who was there?" Hope dug further.
"Me, your uncle, Lancelot, Merlin and of course, Arthur."
"Urh, I wonder how Arthur dealt with this." Harry groaned as she sat up.
Iris smiled, "Don't worry, it'll go away after a while. You should get some rest."
"But Azkaban--"
"I'll take care of it." Harry looked at Hope, "You have no idea how powerful I am."
"Alright..." Harry started down the stairs when Dumbledore called, "Harry, sleep in my room, it's not good for you to use too much energy right now."
Harry stopped and entered the door not bothering to look around, dropped right down on the bed. Dumbledore smiled and quietly closed the door, even he did not notice the large raven outside the window that took off.
