Chapter 2

Headmasters Office, Hogwarts

18, June 1996

Harry's feet hit solid ground again; his knees buckled a little and the golden wizard's head fell with a resounding clunk to the floor. He looked around and saw that he had arrived in Dumbledore's office.

Everthing seemed to have repaired itself during the headmaster's absence. The delicate silver instruments stood again upon the spindlelegged tables, puffing and whirring serenely. The portraits of the headmasters and headmistresses were snoozing in their frames, heads lolling back in armchairs or against the edge of their pictures. Harry looked through the window. There was a cool line of pale green along the horizon: Dawn was approaching.

(Quote : From HP OOTP chapter.)

The silence and the stillness are broken by a cough behind him near the fireplace. Harry turns with his wand drawn but sees a picture of four individuals sitting in a long picture of Hogwarts in the background. Slowly lowering his wand, Harry becomes suspicious as the other portraits were sleeping at them moment. Suddenly Harry's mind catches up with him.

"Your the four Founders of Hogwarts?" asked Harry softly.

There was a chuckle from the portraits of both Lady Ravenclaw and Lady Hufflepuff. "You are correct young Harry. I'm Godric of Gryffindor, to my left is my lovely wife Lady Rowena Ravenclaw" which he got a chuckle from, "the pretty young lady next to her is Lady Helga Hufflepuff-Slytherin" whom politely bowed to Harry, "and the old man at the end, is Lord Salazar Slytherin," whom got a scowl from Salazar over the old man comment.

It took a few minutes before Harry could say anything as he processed all the information given to him from the four founders.

"He's your descendant Godric and Rowena and possible your descendant's of a direct line as well Salazar and Helga, but I am not sure." replied an unexpected source. Harry swirled around to the sorting hat looking confused.

"How do you know, and who are you?" asked Harry slightly confused.

"How is pretty easy actually? There are two ways to find out, from a heritage test, which the goblin's of Gringott, can perform or a second way is only a direct bloodline heir, or someone of a brave heart can use the Sword of Gryffindor. The sword when carried by the true heir..."

"Will show a golden shimmer around the true heir!' exclaimed Godric.

"I was in a fight for my life against a certain someone Basilisk in a certain chamber under the castle. I did not have the time to notice a golden shimmer around me," replied Harry while glaring at Salazar. Harry's aura was slipping a little as well now as he was getting a little upset and angry.

"Mr. Potter, please calm down before you start blowing things up. I can trust you will have the time soon enough once you hear what we have for you. My name is Alistair, but no one has though to ask in a very long time."

"Now it seems that when Headmaster Dumbledore fled from office, he also gave up the role as Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as well. Something I think a few of us are glad for in some ways then the others." Replied Alistair getting glares from the other headmasters, and headmistresses from the portraits whom were wide awake now.

"From the glares I am getting some of you have read the entire Hogwarts charter?" There was some nods from a few of them. Some were still glaring at the Sorting hat.

On the headmasters desk, a book appears from thin air and turns to the middle of the book. From the cover, says Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Founding Charter.

"Hogwarts Charter Section X, Paragraph III: Any headmaster/headmistress whom flees the office of the Headmaster/headmistress unless due to health reasons or resigns gives up the right of the position of Headmaster/Headmistresses status and office. At any time, the heir of Hogwarts and/or the Founding Four can fire the current Headmaster/Headmistress if they have the support of myself, Lady Hogwarts (whom should be awaking very soon) and/or at least three forth's support from the blood heir's."

It took a few moments for all everyone, human, ghost spirits, and portraits to handle the new information, when there was a rumbling felt inside the office and growing stronger by the minute. Lady Hogwarts were awakening from nearly a thousand years in slumber. The rumbling started getting more intense as magic flared around the castle as it is traversing from the center and heart of Hogwarts. Inside the office, a voice is heard followed by a spirit ghost form which was merely human.

She was a polite female in her late twenty's, blackish hair in a ponytail and deep ice blue piercing eye's standing at around five feet and eleven inches or so. "Whom has awakened me from my slumber?"

"We have Lady Hogwarts," replied Alistair. "Godric blood heir is in danger!"

After the speech, the room descended into chaotic talking fray as the Founders and Alistair brought Lady Hogwarts up to speed on current events.

Thirty Minutes Later, Headmasters Office

Harry for the last thirty minutes was sitting at the Headmaster desk just listing to the talking around him as he sorted out his feelings about Sirius and trying to control his anger and not implode items around the office. Some of the tidbits of conversation that he did consume was making his anger get directed more and more at dumblebee.

"I concur with all of you on what needs to happen. A new headmaster has already been chosen, but he only has to agr..." Lady Hogwarts start but is interrupted as the wards started to block an incoming floo intrusion. After locking down the entire school floo network temporary, Lady Hogwarts continue.

"Someone has attempted to access the floo network to this office. I've blocked to the entire castle for the time being, but it will disappear within the next five minutes." She replied before getting Harry's attention.

"Harry, I can sense from the castle what your going through. It is not the first time nor will it be the last time that, I've sense great darkness in someones heart and soul, but you must control it for now. Your also the most powerful wizard currently in the school and on par with the former headmaster if barely and the only one whom the headmastership will pass too..." Harry head perked up on that.

"Your about to say I just have to accept?" asked Harry whos face brighten a little with flush red.

Lady Hogwarts smiled a little while the founders step out of the portrait behind her in the same spiritual ghost form. "That's all you will have to do. When you accept, the castle wards will transfer to you along with a little magical increase while inside the ward's.

Harry got up from the chair and brought out his holly wand. " I, Harry James Potter, direct blood descendant of Godric of Gryffindor, do hear-by accept the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

As Harry finished, he is surrounded in a golden dome of light which started expanding to all corners of the castle to the ward boarders outside the castle. Everyone awake inside the castle which were remarkably few could feel something happening to the magic around the castle. The magical creatures within the Forbidden Forest could feel the magic as well along with one snowy owl familiar within the castle whom transformation had begun to occur to before disappearing. The five spirits step inside Harry body.

The empty fireplace burst into emerald-green flame, making Harry leap away from the desk, staring at the man spinning inside the grate. As Dumbledore's tall figure unfolded itself from the fire, the wizards ad witches on the surrounding walls looked towards the fireplace. A few of them gave cries of welcome while others were glaring and booing.

"Thank you" said Dumbledore softly.

He did not look at Harry at first, but walked over to the perch beside the door and withdrew, from an inside pocket off his robes, the tiny, ugly, featherless Fawkes, whom he placed gently on the tray of soft ashes beneath the golden post where the full-grown Fawkes usually stood.

(Quote : From HP OOTP chapter. With a little revision.)

Harry already with his wand out was a little hidden at his side as the room grew cold as when the dementers were around. "Why? Why did you keep some much away from me? Why did you betray me Dumbledore? What else have you kept from me?" Harry voice was intensely cold now.

Dumbledore as he turned around was paled but did not answer. He knew he is caught in something but not sure which of his plans where blown to dusk yet.

"Can't answ..."

"It was for the Greater Goo..."

"DON"T GIVE ME THE GREATER GOOD CRAP!" yelled Harry. "IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT SIRIUS WOULD STILL BE ALIVE!."

Harry aura started to trickle out more now as a greyish-black hue surrounding him. Objects nearby started imploding into millions of tiny pieces.

"You did not need to know anyth..."

"LIKE HELL DUMBLE's YOU HAVE KEEPED ME LOCKED UP IN A PRISON FOR FIFTEEN YEARS. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THE DURSLEY EVER AGAIN."

"You have to Harry. The blood wards will fail if you do not."

"Blood Wards.. Blood Wards will not protect me at all. I've done some reading on them this past year. They are original used to damping magic not protect me." said Harry as he calmed down a little.

"Would you reconsider this?"

"Simple answer is NO"

Dumbledore sighted a little before pulling out his wand having no choice and pointing at Harry. "Obliviate."

Harry noticing what Dumbledore was up to moved out of the way as he finished the spell and placed a shield up before going offensive.

"Stupefy. Trying to make me forget now." Replied Harry before firing Impedimenta at Dumbledore.

The battle intensified with Harry using his limited selection of spells with dodging and avoiding some spells from Dumbledore while firing Protego when he could not avoid or pulling

objects in the way of others. Hogwarts were assisting Harry, as she along with the founders spirits. Suddenly as, Dumbeldore neared the door it slammed opened.

"Reducto" Harry said firing above the door. The sound of the attack and the shock waves sent Dumbledore flying out the door and down the stairway against the two guardians. The shockwave could be felt through the floor above and below the office, as well.

"CASTLE LOCKDOWN INITATED. CASTLE LOCKDOWN INITATED," A female voice could be heard through out the castle as all doors and windows sealed shut except for the Great Hall and Hospital Wings.. Across the castle students and faculty were awakening from the sound of Lady Hogwarts initiating a lock down. The Castle Wards where brought to full power sealing off the gates to Hogsmead were the sound of the lock down could be heard. At the Ministry, an alarm was going off as well assembling Aurors to head to the school.

"Have you had enough yet Dumbledore?" Asked Harry standing in the doorway watching, as Dumblebee appeared to having a hard time standing up. As Dumbledore is leaning against the guardians they open up causing him to fall over in the corridor outside the stairwell. Harry was leaning heavy on his right foot and have some cuts and abrasions from his face down to his legs.

"Never Harry, I will never give up. The Greater Good will survive even you." Dumbledore was coughing, and struggling to get to a standing elevation.

"Your nothing Dumbledore, the castle is in my control now."

"Impossible" Dumbledore replied shocked.

Hogwarts Infirmary, Ten Minutes Dumbledore returns

Luna walks over to Ginny whom was laying on one of the beds near the doors resting. Madam Pomfrey was in her office after attention to the wounded were completed. Bending down to avoid being overheard Luna taps Ginny on her shoulder whom opens her eyes.

"Whats going on Luna?" asked Ginny.

"We have to go Ginny. The battle has already begun." Replied Ginny, as a shockwave is felt throughout the school. Luna reaches over to grabs Ginny wand from the table nearby before she hands it to Ginny.

Ginny gets up and slides off the bed as well and follows Luna to the door before they hear it.

"CASTLE LOCKDOWN INITATED. CASTLE LOCKDOWN INITATED," said a female voice. Ginny and Luna dash for the doors and were running. They both could be hear spells being cast and were running in the direction of it.

Entrance Hall, A few minutes later

"You can not keep this up Harry. Surrender now and this will be forgotten." Dumbledore replied panting but pointing his wand at Harry whom was knelling on the floor exhausted and hurt.

"NEVER. I will not forgive you for what you have done to my life and what your going to attempt to do to Hermione's either." Harry replied panting and hearing a gasp from behind him at the doors of the Great Hall. Harry head snapped around to see Susan Bones and Hannah Abbott before turning back in time to see Dumbledore firing another spell at him in his distracting.

"Protego! Conjunctivitis Stupefy, Incarcerous." yelled Harry as he attempts to stand while overpowering his spells. Dumbledore raises a spell but learns too late as he has to avoid the stunner and rope spells before being hit from the Conjuctivistis spell.

From out of Harry appears, and young women whom turns to the two wayward students.

"Get to the fireplace in the Great Hall, and get Aurors here. The floo network has been unblocked there. GO!" The students shocked for an instant turn and run inside the Great Hall nearly avoiding a spell attempt by Dumbledore whom gets hit from a Concussion blast from behind.

"Expelliarmus, Stupefy, Incarcerous." yelled Harry overpowering his wand causing it to smoke. He drops it as it gets extremely hot. The spells connect with Dumbledore with the wand flying to Harry while being rendered unconscious and tied up. Harry drops to his knee's as he hears footsteps from the floor above. His last conscious act was to hide the wand inside his robes.

"HARRY" Ginny Screams as she sees Harry fall to the ground and runs for him followed by Luna. They quickly make it down the stairs to him while kicking Dumbledore on the way by.

"Ginny, he is injured badly." Luna replied before looking up at Lady Hogwarts whom nodded. There was running heard from floors above most likely of students whom were not in the common room when the lock down occurred.

"HEALERS NEEDED IN ENTRANCE HALL. ACTING DEPUTY HEADMASTER FLITWICK TO THE ENTRANCE HALL" sounded across the castle again as the door to the charms office was unsealed, followed by a half-goblin leaving fast with a wand in hand.

Madam Bones Office, Ministry of Magic

"Director, reports from Hogsmead is that the castle has entered locked down. Our Auror teams can not get through as whatever is going on is serious..." Rufus was interrupted as the fireplace burst into emerald-green flame, and a head was followed a moment later. Amelia and Rufus turns to the fireplace as Susan appears in the flames.

"Susan? Whats going on at Hogwarts?" asked a worried Amelia as Rufus moves out of slight.

"It's bad Aunt Amelia. Short version is Hannah with me and were in the Great Hall right now. Barely escaped getting hit by a curse which I think was directed at us. A female ghost told us the connection to the floo here will work." Susan's head pop out for a moment before Hannah reappeared.

"Susan head just got knocked against the stones. She is a little dizzy. Someone just overpowered a concussion charm in the Entrance Hall. We need aurors and healers here fast. Harry Potter was badly hurt when we ran for it.

"Harry Pott..."

"Harry Potter is being attacked?" Exclaimed Amelia.

"HEALERS NEEDED IN ENTRANCE HALL. ACTING DEPUTY HEADMASTER FLITWICK TO THE ENTRANCE HALL" could be heard through the fireplace into the office.

Upon hearing this Rufus was moving out the door, to summon Auror teams and Healer teams to the office. He arrived back in less than two minutes as the conversation was finishing with three auror teams of four and one team of healers. Madam Bones threw floo powder into the fireplace which turned emerald green.

"HOGWARTS, GREAT HALL" before stepping through, Rufus and the other Aurors and Healers followed through within a minute.
