Harry Potter and the Time of Change

By: Bethy Ann

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter unfortunately.

Summary: Harry discovers that he must train in order to kill Voldemort. During the summer set after the 5th book. New people, new discoveries, and love is shared all around. Ginny/Harry, Hermione/Ron, and a little bit of Remus/Tonks.

Recap: In a dark room there were people in black robes and white masks. The only source of light was fire coming from a figure on the floor.

"May you all be taught a lesson! The mission I gave you was not hard. You were supposed to kill the Grangers and bring the mudblood to me," hissed a voice sitting down in a throne-like chair.

"Yes master," the crowd murmured.

"Leave, you pathetic excuse for wizards and witched!" bellowed Voldemort.

Chapter 7: The Clinton's

Black robed figures walked in the darkness. They were in a town called Chicopee Bay where muggles lived. They had orders to kill all the muggles and burn the houses down. The robed figures split and went to different houses.

You could faintly hear three cracks. With these three cracks, three people appeared wearing midnight blue robes. They had a powerful aura about them that touched the death eaters. The Death Eaters attention quickly went to the new comers.

A woman's voice cackled and said, "You think you can defeat us? You're outnumbered you worthless fouls."

"That's what you think Bellatrix," the tallest person said in a male voice.

Bellatrix's eyes widened and asked, "How do you know my name?"

"Why voices always give you away, especially yours," the smallest figure said in a girl's voice.

"Enough! We came here on a mission. Let's kill the fouls!" someone shouted in the crowd of black robes.

Bellatrix's eyes widened in glee and shouted, "Crucio!"

The spell bounded off the aura and hit Bellatrix. Her screams weren't heard since the battle just started. All the spells rebounded off the three and crashed into the victim that cast the spell. The Death Eaters knew they were losing so they tried to apparate but were unable to. They also couldn't portkey out, so they started fleeing. Once they all left, the three figures high-fived each other and apparted back to Private Drive.

"Dad, you're bleeding!" a little girl's voice said.

"It's okay Sophie, it doesn't hurt," Mr. Clinton said, lying through his teeth to his daughter.

There was a pool of blood on the floor by now. Mr. Clinton took off his robe to see where his wound was. He instantly saw that it was on his upper forearm. He cleaned it and put anti-bacterial cream on it. Mr. Clinton proceeded to bandage his upper left forearm.

"See Sophie? It was nothing," Mr. Clinton said.

Sophie looked at her Dad not believing him but said, "Alright, well, I have to get back to school. Next time, wear the protective gear."

Sophie popped out leaving her Dad to swell up with pride. When did she grow up, thought Mr. Clinton.

"Your homework is to write a foot long essay on a charm that you would like to learn in class. It better be interesting!" Professor Flitwick yelled after the class.

"Hey Clinton!" Malfoy called after the golden quad.

"What do you want Malfoy?" Clinton said putting all the hared in the last name.

"Oh nothing, I just thought that you were squib, just like your brother," Malfoy said and walked away laughing.

Flashback

Snow was falling but when it met the hot road, it vanished. Jon was grinning like a manic at Jacob. Jacob was looking around for a place to hide when Jon tackled him to the ground. Jacob yelled in surprise as he hit the ground. Jon had his brother in a headlock and was messing Jacob's hair.

"Mom, Mom!" Jacob yelled, trying to get out of the headlock.

Their Mom walked out of the house and saw what was happening. "Jon, don't hurt your brother."

"I'm not Mom. I'm just playing with him," Jon said and smiled at his Mom.

Leslie rolled her eyes at her kids and walked back inside to Sophie. Once Jon saw that his Mom went back inside, he let go of Jacob.

"You're such a wuss," Jon said.

"Am not!" yelled Jacob.

"Can you act more like a child?" Jon asked in annoyance.

"I'm not acting like a child," Jacob said hurt.

"Yes you are. You're acting like your nine when you're twelve," Jon retorted.

"Yeah will you're acting like your eighteen when you're fourteen," Jacob yelled back.

"Oh my god," Jon yelled, annoyed at his brothers behavior.

Jon walked inside and saw his Mom making dinner and Sophie was setting the table. Sophie was just a year younger then him but she looked so much older with that goo on her face.

"Can I do anything Mom?" Jon asked.

"Sure, you can clean up the family room so that no one trips over your video games," Leslie said, thankful for the odd request.

Jon went to he family room and pulled out his wand. Everything went back to where it belonged. Leslie liked to do things the muggle way so that the neighbors didn't see anything weird. They were in America to get away from the terror that Voldemort had inflicted on the UK. Jon heard the garage door open and his Dad appeared. Jon smiled at him but saw the panic on his Dad's features.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Jon asked.

"Get your brother and come into the dining room now," William said to his eldest son.

Jon went outside and called for Jacob to come instantly. Jacob ran in and cleaned up for dinner. When they walked into the dining room, Leslie's face was pale and had a look of terror on her face.

"Mom, are you alright?" Jacob asked.

"Jake, be quiet for a minute so I can tell everyone what's going on," William said. He was silent for a moment before he began, "It seems that Voldemort has got followers from America now. He hasn't attacked a lot here so the muggles don't know anything. But it seem like-," William stopped talking because there was a bang coming from the front porch.

William and Leslie got their wands out and yelled for their kids to hide. Jon ran with Jacob and Sophie going upstairs when he heard shouting from downstairs. He locked Sophie in the attic that was concealed to an outsider and was about to hide Jacob in the secret room, when someone shouted a curse that hit Jacob right in the chest. Jacob fell with his eyes open wide, showing no life. Jon screamed in anguish and shouted curse upon curse. He somehow made it downstairs and saw the same look on his Mom's face. All the pain he felt burst out and hit everyone in the room.

End Flashback

"Jon, are you okay?" Hannah Abbot asked who had heard the exchange and saw Jon's face crumbled and have a far away look on his face.

"Hm…sure," Jon said and walked towards the towers when he was supposed to go to Arthimacy.

Hannah looked at Jon's retreating back and sighed. She didn't know much about his family except that his Mom and little brother died. Of course he would be sad or angry but there was another emotion there that wasn't either of those. Hannah wanted to help him but didn't know how. Who else has suffered that greatly, thought Hannah? I'm such an idiot, Harry! At that, Hannah ran off to find Harry totally forgetting about class.

AN: Here it is! It would have been posted last night except I fell asleep. Sorry. Please review! It makes me happy to see a review then to see that someone read but didn't comment.
