6. The next level: The new term

When Molly woke up, she saw a hand reached out to her. "Wha-what? Where?"

"It's OK mum. It's only me."

Molly looked up into the face of her son. He stood with a cape of feathers around his shoulders. "R-ron?"

"Yes mum. Now, we must go to the Lake of the Beast to heal. Mum, you must stay here. Harry will leave DemiMeramon here to protect you. Kari will leave Gatomon and Joe will leave Gomamon. Marcus and Spencer will stay here with their Digimon, Agumon and BanchoLeomon." With that, Ron and the others walked away.

Once again, they were headed to the lake. When they got there, the changes erected in Draco, Kari, and Joe fell away and they gained strange watches. Harry's flame returned to normal and all wounds fell away. However, Ron grew taller and gained raptor features. His mental powers also grew. As usual, once the changes were done, the group was back on the ground next to the pool. However, they could not rest for long as a scream shattered the peace of the forest.

"Mrs. Weasley!" Harry yelled. He leapt up and the Valkyrie took their true forms. Quickly, they flew off and descended by her side. There in front of them was a huge Digimon that looked like a box with hands.

"No." Eagle gasped. Harry turned and she shifted back into Kari before she continued, "Apocalymon."

"Execute! Fushion Evolution!"

"Digimon, warp digivolve to… Mega!"

"DNA, charge! Burst mode!"

"Warp DNA digivolve to…"

"Biomerge activate, Digimon Biomerge to…"

Everyone turned and saw the digidestined standing before them.

"Rhiamon!"

"Daiphenmon!"

"JetSilyphymon!"

"RhinoKabuterimon!"

"Beowolfmon!"

"Phoenixmon!"

"Rosemon!"

"MetalWereGarurumon!"

"HerculesKabuterimon!"

"Rosemon burst mode!"

"ShineGreymon burst mode!"

"KingChessmon burst mode!"

"QueenChessmon burst mode!"

"MirageGaogamon burst mode!"

"Ravemon, burst mode!"

"Kentarusmon burst mode!"

"JumboGamemon burst mode!"

"Phoenixmon burst mode!"

"BanchoLeomon, burst mode!"

"Imperialdramon, Paladin mode!"

"Vikemon!"

"Gallantmon!"

"MegaGargomon!"

"Sakkuyamon!"

"Justimon!"

"Beelzemon Blast mode!"

"MarineAngemon!"

"SaberLeomon!"

"HiAndromon!"

"Cherubimon!"

"Cherubimon!"

"SaintGargomon!"

Without hesitating; Harry, Joe, and Kari leapt into the fray.

"DemiMeramon warp digivolve to… Meramon!"

"Gatomon! Aquillamon! Warp DNA Digivolve to… Valkyrimon!"

"Gomamon warp digivolve to… Vikemon!"

"Sorry we're late." Ken said.

"Sorry we're early." Harry laughed. With that, the Digimon charged. However, any Digimon that came near became burned. All of them except one.

"Fire-fist!" Meramon hit Apocalymon with a fist of flame. Suddenly, Harry flared up and skidded backward.

Why should I help you?

Ron was the first wizard I met. He was a little excited but he didn't let my fame get to his head. Hermione lied to a teacher just to get me out of trouble. Hagrid helped me escape from the Dursleys. I have to make a stand, let them know how much I appreciate them. I will not let them get hurt.

-Harry. I need your help.-

-M-meramon?-

-Yes.-

-How?-

You treat me as a separate being.-

Something in Harry snapped. Suddenly, his breathing matched Meramon's and he felt his Digimon's power. Quickly, he merged with the being and Meramon began to change.

"Meramon digivolve to… Flaremon!"

Flaremon was a huge fire lion that stood proud. The fire in his hair flickered and sparked. "Purifying Howl!" The beast threw back his head and howled. Quickly, Apocalymon dissolved into data and Flaremon separated into Harry and Mokomon.

"HARRY!" Harry's eyes fluttered and finally he was able to escape the blackness. He found himself to be lying on a bed with Mrs. Weasley standing there with concern.

"Wha? Where?"

Molly gasped and then spoke up, "You're in Spencer's house. You've been asleep for weeks, it's the first of September. We need to go in a few minutes."

After everyone arrived and found a seat, they watched out the window. Percy had decided to stay home and both Bill and Charlie had been forced to wait. Harry, Ron, and Hermione watched as Arthur and Molly began to go farther away, waving. There had been hints about something happening at Hogwarts dropped but that wasn't what shocked everyone, it was the last words that Molly Weasley spoke, "Ronald! I'm proud of you, my son."

The Great Hall, Hogwarts

"It's him!" Harry sat at the Gryffindor Table but when he saw a grizzled old man, he leapt up in shock.

"Who?" Ron enquired.

"The man from the Top Box."

"No it isn't, that's Mad-Eye Moody."

"Take a closer look."

"You mean?"

"Yeah, his aura's the same."

"You know I can't do that yet."

"Ah, may I have the pleasure of introducing your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Mr. Alaster Moody?" Dumbledore announced.

Harry stood up, "That's not Allister Moody!"

Everyone in the Great Hall turned around to face Harry. His eyes were sparking and his hair was now a flame longer than his body. He glared at the man and continued, "That man is does not look like that."

"Harry, I have no idea what you are talking about." Albus Dumbledore said.

Harry calmed down and his hair shortened to its normal black. Those around him noticed the smell of smoke was now gone. "I guess I may have been wrong." He conceded.

Dumbledore continued to explain that there was to be a competition between three wizard's schools known as the Triwizard Tournament. He also mentioned that no one under the age of 17 would be allowed to compete. At this last bit, Harry smirked and muttered, "I doubt it."
