Re-built and re-created
Disclaimer: I do not own the wonderful world that J.K. has made for me to play in.
Everyone watched as the castle began to reform and grow larger and larger adding towers gates courtyard and much more to the already magnificent building. Harry opened his eyes to see everyone looking at him in awe, they had never seen someone with so much power not even Dumbledore could have performed this spell without help, and yet here stands the savior of the Wizarding World, creating a new building three times larger than the castle had been originally and not even looking fatigued.
"Well professor why don't you go see what this edifice once looked like before it was transformed into a school." Harry said to McGonagall. She started walking up to the Front doors; he suddenly turned around and rushed to harry embracing him in a bone crushing hug.
"Harry how did you do this? This looks nothing like the castle and yet it seems so familiar, and how on earth did you mange to perform that spell on your own you could not have possible been able to do it alone?" she said in a confused tone.
"Your quite right professor I didn't do it on my own." He smirks as McGonagall's face still holds the confused look it had moments before.
"Then who helped you Harry, I see no one else with their wand out." And indeed no one else even had their wands in hand.
"You believe that I am alone professor, that is your mistake." He looks at everyone then returns his attention to McGonagall, as she watch's the boy she had taught for 6 years show her what she had missed.
At that moment she felt a presence behind her and turned with her wand raised to see nothing but the entry way to the castle.
"Professor I do believe that the people you want to meet are to my left and right." He spreads his arms to the left and right.
The Professor turns around thinking that she will see some of Harry's friends; instead she is confronted by seven dark robed figures. They bore a striking resemblance to death eaters but wore blood red robes in place of dull black.
"These professor are the seven fall, they are the ones that helped me build what is in front of you." He smiles at the shocked professor.
"Harry do you mean that these are the seven fallen mages?" she asked even more shocked then before. Harry looks at the tallest of the seven and who nods, then looks the professor straight in the eye and reply's "yes." A ripple of gasps came from those who heard that these were the seven mages that once fought alongside Merlin.
The Professor stared at Harry in shock because of what she just heard, then finally regaining her composure she remembered there must have been a reason the seven had returned. At that moment Hermione stepped forward and said "There is only one reason that the seven would return. It means that Morgana has been awakened." She said as if the mere mention of her name would bring her to the castle.
The leader of the seven stepped forward and spoke "we have come for more than the reason of Morgana awaking, Harry has called upon our power, and therefore as long as he lives we shall remain here." The crowd started to whisper about the appearance of the seven when Harry called their attention.
"Friends there are question that you will no doubt want answering but, why not explore this ancient castle and see what mysteries it holds not that it has been restored to its former glory when the founder built it." That's when everyone noticed they were no long in the shadow of Hogwarts School of witch craft and wizardry; they were looking at the Castle the four founders had built to teach all the children of Britain.
Harry Turned to address the crowd, "This Friends is the Castle that the founder's built, not the shell of its self when it was rebuilt after Salazar left its grounds. Look at the grounds the size of the building this was a fortress not a school, this will be our Sanctuary when the war is hard and we have no where left to turn." He and points his wand at a point just above the door's and there appeared etched into the Stone "Verum est in Iustitia, Est in sanguine Bellum" In truth there is justice, in war there is blood. Harry turned back to the crowd, "let this be a reminder that no matter how long we fight as long as we are true we will always be just, the road ahead is hard and there is always blood in war, but morn not for the one who have already left us, but morn for the losses to come." He turned toward the doors and opened the massive Doors.
Everyone gasped at what they saw, the main entry way was no longer just a huge open area it was a place for entertainment and to enjoy Peoples Company. Gone was the marble stair case that lead to the rest of the castle instead a Black Obsidian Stair case took its place. The Great Hall was by far the most Changed. It no longer held the 180 student benches it held numerous benches and tables, the size that an army would sit at and be comfortable.
As people walked into the Great hall they also noted that the stained Glass windows now encased the picture of the founders. Harry walk up to the front of the Great Hall and addressed the crowd.
"My friend's this is the castle of the founder and home to the great hero's of the ages. I see it only fitting that you become the next generation to follow the light, but you require a leader, so I ask you here and now who will it be!" he looks at the crowd in front of them as they start to whisper about how might be able to lead them against Voldermort and Morgana. The crowd of students and teachers suddenly become silent as Snape walks through the crowd toward Harry. The rest watched Snape walk to harry and were transfixed on what he was doing not that he held the sword of Gryffindor or that he wore the armor of an imperial knight.
Three feet before he reached Harry he dropped to one knee in front of him. Just then McGonagall walk up to stand besides Severus, and said without any doubt, "You Harry. You will be our leader." Before she too dropped to one knee and bowed to him. The crowd began to kneel following the professor's example. The entire hall was bowing to Harry in shocked awe. Even the Seven fallen had taken a knee in unison behind Him.
"My friends rise and receive the reward of the faithful. These are dark days, but as long as there are heroes the Darkness shall be broken. Rise friends, knights, and warriors, you are all know warriors of the light, come my friends join me in celebration of this event." As Harry said this food appeared on the Tables to witch everyone sat down to eat except for McGonagall, Severus, and the seven." Before Harry could sit however, Snape stood before him and said, "My Lord the forces that have not been converted and the werewolves are massing at the gates." He said in a no nonsense tone.
"I see, well then my friend, call the gathering I will meet you at the gates in 30 minutes." Severus began to walk away when Harry caught him by the shoulder to look at him and said "God speed my friend." Snape nods and walks out of the Great hall.
Harry watches him leave, and then turns his attention to the group of people eating. He walks to the front of the Hall. "Friends our battle has not yet finished even as we speak a gathering is being called, Werewolves and all other sorts of dark Creatures are at our gates." Harry spoke in a calm voice as not to scare the crowd.
"Will you join me once more in driving back the demons? Or will you allow them to once again besiege our walls and tear down what has been built?" The crowd answered his call with an overwhelming cry.
"Then I gift you with this." He claps his hands, followed by a bright flash of white light. As the light faded, everyone in the Hall wore majestic white armor and a sword to match. "These are the gifts I have promised you, now the time for talking is done if you wish to fight follow me." As he said this he walked straight out into the entry way, to see the gathering at the gate.
The defenders of Hogwarts gathered behind Harry as he stopped Snape. In turn Snape turned around to face Harry, "Half are here at the moment and the other have are on their way." Snape said without preamble. "The let us meet the enemy on the field my friend." Harry grasped Snape's forearm who returned the gesture.
"I will see you on the field." Snape replied with, "In truth there is Justice." To which Harry responded, "In war there is blood." And then began to move towards the gates.
