Chapter 3
Entrance Hall, Hogwarts, 7:25 AM
Four other spiritual ghost swarmed out of Harry surprising both Ginny who's crying and Luna who's on the other side. They went and hovered near Lady Hogwarts to whispered among themselves.
"He's dangerous past Magical Exhaustion, and I felt many blocks on his core amount other things." said Godric.
"I concur, this fight lasted way too long, but the magical signature is the same as his opponent whom I've compared during the end." replied Lady Hogwarts as sounds were getting closer now. Up on the First floor, some students were looking down at the mess of the nearly destroyed entrance hall before spotting the injured. They sprinted down the last couple stairs and to Ginny sides careful to avoid the damage with wands in hand.
One student looked at Luna and Ginny then at Harry before motioning for others to take up a defensive position and turning his attention to Ginny. He picked up Harry wand from nearby which was completely scorched now but not having a wand due to it being broke at the DoM earlier.
"What happen Ginny?" asked Neville's as Professor Flitwick arrived where they were at a few moments ago.
"Dumbledore was attacking Harry when we were following the source of spell fire. I fired a concussion charm at Dumbledore back to give Harry a chance." replied a sobbing Ginny who looked up. Her eyes were red from the crying. Flitwick was in range to catch the last part due to having sharp ears being a half goblin before looking at the stunned form of Dumbledore that everyone missed.
"It cannot be" Flitwick muttered as Aurors with Madam Bones rushed into the nearly destroyed Entrance Hall from the Great Hall. They ran smack into the middle of nine wands pointed at them from the students and Flitwitch.
"Aurors, lower your wands" said Bones. The students complied as the aurors moved over to Mr. Potter now noticing his face was now pale white. The healers came up and shooed Luna and Ginny out of the way as they performed diagnostics on him. The two healers cast the same spell a few more times frowning still getting the same results.
She gets up and walks to Director Bones who was holding a quick chat with Rufus. Nothing the healer walking over she finishes up before turning her attention to the healer.
"Director Bones, from our results Mr. Potter is dangerously past magical exhaustion. If and I say if here, he survives, there is a good chance of permeant damage to his core."
"Whats your recommendation Healer Mayfield?" asked Director Bones looking concern.
"I would recommend moving Mr. Potter to St Mungo's, but I do not think he would survive the transport there." Replied Mayfield.
"Lord Potter would not survive. The Magic of Hogwarts is keeping him alive until his core can regenerates what was lost." Came the voice of Lady Hogwarts behind them. Both Director Bones and Healer Mayfield turned to the spirit ghost.
"Who are you?" asked Madam Bones as the Founders approach behind her.
"I am Lady Hogwarts, the awareness of the castle. Earlier this morning, I was awakened by the blood heir of the Founders being in danger. The four behing me are the founders spirit of Hogwarts." replied Lady Hogwarts. Director Bones, Healer Mayfield and the aurors who were close enough were gobsmacked. The founders started disappearing off to the headmasters office to return to their portraits.
"Madam Director Bones, During the next few days, Hogwarts as a whole will be suspicible to attacks. As the sentinal awareness of the castle, it is my duty to ask for help from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to abide by the rules set down in the Charter under Emergency Security."
"I request help in the form of Aurors posted to Hogwarts to secure the castle starting with the Hosipital Wing. Secondly, to contact the Goblin Nation, to request protection for the last remaining blood heir of Hogwarts, and thirdly, search the castle for any illegal substance that student and facility should not be in procession of!"
As Lady Hogwarts was listing off the list, most of the Aurors scattered from the Entrance Hall to parts of the castle to stand guard. One in particular was in the corner sending off a Lynx Patronus.
12 Grimmauld Place, Sitting Room 7:32 A.M.
In the sitting room, Remus Lupin is talking with Tonks who was treated and released from St. Mungos, Bill Weasley, and Mallory Jensen about the Battle in the DoM when a Lynx Patronus entered the room.
"Lupin, Harry has been attacked and is injuried at Hogwarts. Dumbledore is down too. Futher information will be relayed when I get it." The Lynx disappears as activity kicks up in the sitting room. Remus eyes were glowing golden amber as he fought the wolf inside him. At the same time, Tonks Auror badge was giving a recall notice.
"Remus, I am being recalled. It must be this attack." Said Tonks as she got up. I will send any information I can once I get any. She walked to the fireplace and flooed out.
"Remus, you do not think Dumbledore attacked him?" Asked Bill.
"If I was betting William, thats where my gold will be. As of know, the Order of Black is on active duty. Bill, could you re- ward the Black Complex in Surry as the wards might have fallen when Sirius died? I need to contact some friends and get them active in the meantime."
"I'll get on it Remus. Should take a few hours time." Replied Bill as he got up and headed to the floo as well.
"Remus?" asked Mallory when she saw moving to the fireplace, "Your not contacting who I think you are?"
"I just contacting some friends in the French Ministry and a few barriester to put places into motion that have been planned for several months now.."
Headmaster Suits, HeadMasters Office, One hour Later
"We've done everything we can for him Director. Only thing he needs right now is a lot of rest to make it thru it. The worst is over as Mr. Potter core is starting to increase now." Mayfield said to Director Bones.
"I'll posts some aurors here for the time being. Lady Hogwarts has given you access to enter until the situation is over. She has also given me an overview of whats happen. Dumbledore will not survive this trial if it happens."
"He has a lot of political support. It might take more then this to get him into Azaban. Where is he, by the way?" Asked Mayfield.
"In a nice cold cell deep inside the castle with anti-magic, and anti-portkey wards around him. No escape unless he walks out which will not be happening." Bones responded while turning to the door which was opening admitting Ginny Weasley and Kingsley Shacklebolt. Ginny runs over to Harry who's in the bed and settles down there.
"What have you found Auror Shacklebolt?"
"With Miss Weasley help, I was able to indentify whoms this belong with by the tunk." said Kingsley as he pulled out a vial of Amortentia and hands it to Director Bones.
"Amortentia, Class II Ministry Controlled Substance. It was found in the fifth year dormitories in the trunk of one Ronald Weasley. He is in the Hosipital Wing and now under guard."
"Have it tested to see whom it was for, and we can go from there." Bones said as the two walked to the open door and exit into the Headmasters office.
"Do you know whom the heir is yet?" she asked.
"No idea yet Director but I have my suspicisions."
Flash Back, Gryffindor Common Room, Thirty Minutes prior
Auror Shacklebolt along with Ginny Weasley and seven other aurors enter thru the portrait hole into the Gryffindor Common Room. The Common room was noisy, but all sound dropped to nothing as they entered. Two of the Aurors took positions at the entrance way to prevent anyone from entering or leaving. The remaining aurors split females going for the Girls Dormitories, and males going to the Boys Dormitories.
"If I can have your attention. With the attack that occured a little over a hour ago, the castle entered lockdown. Breakfest will be served here in a few minutes. As is happening in the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff Common Room right now, aurors are searching for anything illegal as been ordered by the Director of DMLE Madam Bones."
There was some talk from the students on this last part before a yell could be heard from the 5th level of the Boys Dorm's. Shacklebolt left immediately followed by a subdue Ginny who was ordered to follow him before they entered the common room. A few minutes late they both enter the Dorm with the advance auror team opening a trunk in the corner.
A pink color vial was pulled out which looked like a love potion of some kind. The auror holding the vial pulled open the cork and smelled it before turning to Autor Shacklebolt.
"Sir, it is Amortentia" replied the younger Auror handing the potion over after recorking it.
"What in the nine hell is a Ministry Controlled substance doing in a student tunk?" Kingsley wondered as he heard a female gasp and remembering Miss Weasley was behind him.
"Thats my brothers trunk Mr. Shacklebolt!"
End Flashback
Staff Room, Hogwarts, 9 AM
Inside the now overly full staff room, the noise level when the door open could be heard from two floors away with all the questions, arguements, ect. Two Aurors were standing guard outside trying to ignore it all as Professor Flitwick tried to restore order. Moments later a cannon blast silence the stuffed room.
"Now that I got your attention," said Flitwick, "I will answer your questions to the best that I can. First off, Severus Snape has been detained by the DMLE for reasons I do not know of right now."
"Where's is Headmaster Dumbledore?" asked Professor Spourt
"From what I've discovered, Albus Dumbledore is no longer the headmaster. There are charges pending against Dumbledore from what occured this morning as well as going back at least 15 and half years or more." Replied a serious Flitwick. Everyone in the room gasp at this latest information.
"That would explain the reason for the Aurors being here. Do you know whom the new Headmaster or
Mistress is?" asked Professor Sinistra.
"Currently I do not know, but I have a very good guess. What I have learned is whomever it is, is a wizard. There are founders direct decendent blood heir within the walls of Hogwarts but no one knows anything."
"Blood Heir? Only one I know is Slytherins heir, and he is who-know-who." replied another professor from the back. From beside Flitwick, the young female lady of Lady Hogwarts appeared surprising everyone except Flitwick.
"For those of you who did not hear me before or were fast asleep, I am Lady Hogwarts, the sentinal awareness. I do know who the blood heir is but it is a very guarded secret and you are right as whom you suspect Professor Flitwick."
"He will be making an appreance at Evening Dinner tonight. Right now, he is still recovering from the events of the last 18 hours. Professor Flitwick, if you could get in touch with his remaining family and have them arrive before dinner, it will be appreciated."
Lady Hogwarts looked around at the gobsmacked faces of all the professors before continuing her speech.
"For too long now, Hogwarts have been unsafe, the blood heir will still be in danger, but you will understand why soon. Because this, Severus Tobias Snape, is hereby sacked as Potions Master of Hogwarts Schoold of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For too long now has he turned a blind eye to the House of Slytherin and allowed violence to occur. Therefore, I checked, and there is one Slytherin alumi as a professor." Everyone was shocked of this occurring.
"Professor Sinistra, you are hereby elevated to the Head of Slytherin henseforth. I would watch certain seven students right now who are plotting to assasisinate someone from the students in another House." Continued Lady Hogwarts as a magical viewer appeared in the middle of the room of the said student but with no audio. As it disappeared so did Lady Hogwarts from the room.
Headmasters Office, Hogwarts, 7:30 P.M.
Several hours later saw Professor Flitwick, Remus Lupin, Thomas Tolen, and Emma Granger sitting in the Headmaster office discussing events which occurred earlier in the day. Mrs. Granger was present mainly because her daughter was injured from the Department of Mysterious battle.
"Remus, Lady Hogwarts gave me a big clue as to whom she is protecting. I do admit now not to be suprised that he is a decendent, but I do not know which." started Flitwick.
"Without doing a heritage test, I am pretty sure but could be wrong that it is Gryffindor. There has been rumors of the Potters being descendents from Godric Gryffindor but thats all they've been for centuries." Replied Lupin.
Professor Flitwick was still wondering how Mrs. Granger was able to get thru the Muggle repelling wards but is a theory in mind did not make sense.
"Mrs. Gra..."
"Emma pleases."
"Emma, how did you get thru the muggle repelling wards? I am under the impression yourself and your husband is muggles?" Asked Flitwick.
Emma took a deep breath whiles Remus and Thomas heads turned toward her. "I'm a witch Professor Flitwick. Just not in the British Ministry records. I was borned, raised and learned magic in a place which is a legend to all the Wizarding World."
"The only one I know of is Atlantis" replied Flitwick before his eye's widen remembering the other but it could not be.
"I'm from the isle of Camalus." Emma replied looking up as Flitwick fainted before looking at Remus and Tolen. "I see you two are not suprised about the revealations?"
"I'm not as I am the Governor there. Being friends with the royal family helps a lot as well but this would make Hermione a half-blood correct?" Asked Remus as he took out a catalog and passed it to Emma. "Turn to page 44 of the catalog."
She looked at the front of the catalog which had SlaPort Auction House, 142 Diagon Alley, London, August 5th, 1996 Lot CatalogShe lay what looked like a magazine before them. There was no picture on the cover.
"Pure-blood, but she does not know her father."
She turned to the page Remus mention and paled.
"Dumbledore, I presume? Remus nodded as Professor Flitwick started waking up. Behind them, a door open from the Headmaster suit revealing Ginny Wealsey and a paled white face Harry Potter.
"What has Dumbledork done now?" asked Harry surprising them all. Ginny was helping to keep him balanced.
"HARRY!" came the reply from Remus and Mrs. Granger. Remus tried to get up but realized he was stuck along with the other occupant's in there chairs. Noticing the catalog in Mrs. Grangers hands, Harry nudges Ginny and gets her attention before whisper something in her ear. She nods before taking out her wand.
"Accio catalog." The catalog fly out of Grangers hands and into hers. They both look down of it.

The room grew colder as the farther they both read until the ending. Harry flipped to the front page before throwing it to the side in disgust. Both Harry and Ginny eyes were on fire. Remus gulped seeing the angry coming from Harry and especially Ginevra.
"Anything thing else I should be informed of?" asked Harry coldly?
"Erm, yes but nows not the best of time? After the dinner?" Asked a paled Remus. Someone will be killed by the end of the night, and he suspected of whom it might be.
"I'll hold you to it Moony." replied Harry before looking at Professor Flitwick. "Professor, I see you figured it out?"
"Yes Harry, took some time, but I was suspecting until Lady Hogw..."
"Her name is actually Jennifer"
"Ah, well Jennifer confirmed it for me at the staff meeting. Amought other things that were said." Replied Flitwick.
"Eck, I still feel likes a train ran me over still." said Harry as he leaned over and kissed Ginny on the check. She flushed bright red from it. 'Thank you' harry whispered. "Professor, I only ask of one thing, well three to be honest. First is, after dinner could you do a check for any blocks on myself?"
"Sure Mr. Potter but I do not think it will matter. Lord Rangark and a team of goblins will be by to perform a heritage test on you. I am presuming this is why Mr. Tolen is here?" Tolen nodded his head saying yes non-verbally.
"Then lets get to dinner before it gets cold." said Harry as he got up from the sofa with help from Ginny. Before he could move any farther a small black Pheonix flamed in just in front of him. One look at the eyes and he fainted backwards falling onto the couch pulling Miss Weasley with him.
"He fainted" called Ginny trying to untangle herself from Harry. Ginny also looked at the Pheonix eyes also and almost fainted herself.
"HHH Hedwig? Sputter Ginny? The Pheonix chripped. Remus case a revival spell on Harry who was slowly opening his eyes, as well as hearing Ginny.
"Hedwig?" asked Harry. The Pheonix responded by handing on his shoulder and nipping his cheek.
"That answers that question but Harry, I though she was a Owl? asked Remus.
"Don't know how either..." added Harry. "I think she does not want me to walk far."
Hedwig flew off Harry shoulder and extended a tail for everyone to grab a hold of. "Outside the Great Hall pleases Hedwig." The group was flamed out of the Headmasters office.
Great Hall, Moments later
The noise in the Great Hall dropped to silence as the doors opened magically. Professor Flitwick made his way in followed by a pale faced Harry Potter with Ginny Weasley supporting him on her left shoulder. Remus Lupin and Thomas Tolen followed behind the pair silently as the group made their way to the now expanded Staff table.
At the staff table, Professor Flitwick got up in a chair with a few tomes stacked high to address the staff and student. The remaining group sat down at chairs getting curious looks for some and disgust from others.
"I have a few annoucements to make before the food is served tonight. As you have possible been informed earlier, either by rumors floating around or from the actual source, many events have occured since 5:18 A.M. this morning. The first of these events occured at the Ministry of Magic which should be reported about in tomorrow Daily Prophet edition. Between 5:18 a.m. and 6:30 AM, a battle broke out starting in the Headmasters office and leading to events which caused a Castle wide lockdown." Flitwick looks over at Amelia who nodded.
"I cannot say much until the report is completed, but more information will be in tomorrow edition. One thing I can is Mister Potter was involved and as you can no doubts tell is still weak from it. As annouced at the Staff Meeting earlier, the new Headmaster is to be here tonight. After consulting with Jennifer, whom many wills know is Lady Hogwarts, the Headmaster is also the last remaining founders blood heir residing in Hogwarts." There where gasp from most of the students staff and Aurors in the Great Hall. Harry slowly stood up with his hand raised to the ceiling. Some notices while others were listing to Professor Flitwick.
The ghost from around the castle converges on the great hall as they felt the magic building up. As they enter, five spiritual ghosts appear in from of the students before Godric turns to Harry.
"As of 6:45 AM, shortly before a battle took place in the headmaster office, I, Lord Harry James Potter, last of the direct descendent of Lord Godric Gryffindor and Lady Rowena Ravenclaw, accepted the post of Headmaster of Hogwarts," as Harry finished the Sword of Gryffindor appears in
his outstretched hand. A golden glow is seen started from the top, and quickly works it way down the sword and Harry encompassing both before dissipating before the sword disappeared back to the office.
Hearing gasp from everywhere except most of the Slytherin table which upset Salazar a little, Harry sat down as he grew weaker. Slowly clapping and cheering started popping up first at Gryffindor table followed by Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. A few from Slytherin were as well as food started appearing. Looking at the heads of houses faces, Harry decided on a meeting around eight am in the morning before looking at Remus.
"Oh Moooonnnnnnny" Remus perk his head and looked at Harry who had an evil grin on his face. Remus gulped...
"Yes Harry?" dreading were this might be going.
Harry see it also note Tonks nearby in conversation range and cracked a more evil smile and laugh a little evilly.
"Oh, I like to thank you for volunteering as the DADA teacher again along with Nymphadora Tonks!" replied Harry before hearing growling from down the table. Harry took a bite to eat before continuing.
"Now now Nym (there was more growling) phadore, you would not hurt me would you?" asked Harry with puppy-dog eyes at her.
"Keep it up Potter, and you will be known as the Boy-Who-Died..." Harry just had an evil though appear in his thoughts. She would not even figure it out either.
"Jennifer could you, please change the password for the guardians to Nymphadore please? Harry though before getting an answer.
"Professor, there will be a Heads of House staff meeting at eight AM tomorrow morning for about 15 minutes." Whispered to Flitwick as he got up. The professor nodded before turning his attention back to his foods while Hedwig landed on his shoulder. Harry took a hold of Ginny who got up as well.
"Oh Nymphadore. If you can get me, I will take it all back." Harry said with an evil grin as Tonks got up and started stalking towards him. Before being able to get Harry, both Harry and Ginny flame out back to the Headmaster suits.
Author Notes:
This is a complete Grammar/spelling revision but there are still errors you will spot as I couldn't decide which way to change them. Most of them are a/an ect but some are more complicated. The more complicated ones would require me to rewrite entire sections and it would take a lot longer to revise. Spelling there is only 11 of them left but there not really spelling errors because the name is in the books.
