This will be something that you need to know. There is a magical power scale from 0 to 10. Zero being the weakest and Ten being the strongest. The scale looks something like this.

0=0

1=1,000

2=2,000

3=3,000

4=4,000

5=5,000

6=6,000

7=7,000

8=8,000

9=9,000

10=10,000

I got the idea from an anime. No not Dragon Ball Z.

Italics when chimera talks.

Now on with the story.


6 years later.

Dumbledore watched the new students get sorted into their house with a large smile plastered on to his face. On the outside, he appeared calm but on the inside, a storm raged. About five days ago, Voldemort had attacked the Quidditch world cup, and the wizarding world was still feeling the effect of the attack.

Many people refused to leave their houses; the place where it was held was almost completely destroyed. The death tool had been staggering. He had a bad feeling tugging at the back of his mind that Voldemort was going to attack again soon and it was the reason that he requested a team of Aurors to protect the students this year.

On top of the Voldemort problem, he also had to deal with the Tri-wizard tournament.

Logan Potter was sitting at Gryffindor table with his friends Ron, Hermione and Ginny. Logan was a mix of both his mother and father. He had James eyes and Lily's hair, an angular face and glasses hanging off his nose.

After his brothers "death" Logan had begun to change. He had overnight become the Chosen one or the-boy-who-lived thanks to his mothers lie, and had loved every moment of it. The fame had gone to his and Lily's head. The two of them believed that they owned this world and they sometimes acted like it in public. What surprised everyone was that Lily had no problem with the way they acted and could only be stopped when James told them to.

The only one who was not affected by this was James and it seemed that he had changed a lot when Harry had died, but no one knew for sure.

Right now, Logan and his friends were discussing the extra tables that were set out near their professors. "Why do you think they put those out?" Ron Weasley asked while shoveling food into his already full mouth.

"I don't know but it may have something to do with what your dad mentioned at the world cup, right Logan." Hermione said. She was unsure and it was something that she normally wasn't.

"He didn't say anything except it would go down in history." Logan replied. He looked at the head's table and saw that Sirius was having a very loud conversation with the runes professor.

"Well enough of that. What did you do in training yesterday?" Ginny asked. She was looking at him with want and need in her eyes. She wanted to claim him as her own before anyone else did and she planed to do it this year.

"Oh Dumbledore taught me some advanced Defense curses. Most of them were pretty nasty and would do real damage." Ron looked up and swallowed all the food in his mouth in one painful looking gulp.

"Can you teach us some; we might need them with this war getting out of hand."

"Sure if you guys want we could start tomorrow after my lesson with him. Just meet me in the Room of Requirement." His three friends nodded eagerly.

The food vanished and Dumbledore stood up at his podium and cleared his throat. The whole hall quieted immediately. "To the students that have returned, Welcome Back. To the students who have just arrived, Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witch craft and Wizardry."

The students clapped politely and he waited until they stopped. "I have two announcements to make before we go into desert. This castle will not only be your home this year but the home to some very special guests who will be arriving in two days time." Murmuring broke out

"This is because Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event, the Tri-Wizard Tournament." The hall broke out in loud cheers. Dumbledore coughed and everyone was silent.

"Because of the size and chaos of the tournament Hogwarts will also house a team of Aurors that will help with protection." At this, the doors of the Great Hall swung open and in a group of twenty-three Aurors walked in.

At the head, leading the team was James Potter; behind him was Lily Potter second in command of the team. They all took seats at the extra tables put out except for one. He had a wooden leg, a fake eye and was missing pieces of his face.

Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody walked over to Dumbledore and whispered something in his ear before sitting down with the teachers. "I would like to welcome your new Defense against the Dark arts Professor." There was scattered applause. Dumbledore smiled and waved his hand. The deserts appeared and everyone went on eating.

Logan groaned loudly into his hands. "Why did it have to be my parents? Now I won't be able to do anything around here."

Ron laughed. "Cheer up mate it could be worse." Logan just glared at Ron and it drew laughs from Hermione and Ginny.

Dumbledore was enjoying his pudding as he wondered about Logan. The boy had started his training to defeat Voldemort at the age of eight and had progressed well in his studies. He was skilled in charms like his mother and transfiguration like his father but one thing troubled him.

Logan lacked power. At the start of Logan's training Dumbledore had checked the power in his magical core and saw that it was around a two. Now it was about a four. It was nowhere as powerful as him or Voldemort and this worried the aging Headmaster.

If it came down to a fight to see who was stronger magically then Logan would lose to Voldemort. "I wonder." He thought and looked at Lily, who as if sensing he was watching her turned around. He smiled and she turned away. "If there is something she isn't telling me?" He asked himself.

Dumbledore decided that he would investigate further. His thoughts shifted over to Logan's dead brother Harry.

When Dumbledore had heard that the child had died he was sad and angry. The boy's death had changed James and Lily. "Harry would be his age sitting there eating and chatting with friends." He thought. Unknown to him Lilly Potter was thinking the same thing.

Guilt weighed heavily on her but she always brushed it aside and reminded herself that it was for the greater good. She smiled and hid her inner turmoil and continued eating. "At least no one will be able to discover what really happened that night." She murmured.

"What was that dear?" James asked as he finished chewing on his chicken.

She cursed silently not realizing that she had spoken aloud. "Oh I just said it is good to see Logan."

"Oh yeah." He smiled and waved at his son who face palmed him self. Lily smiled at the antics of her family.


"Lucius it seems that Hogwarts will host the Tri-Wizard tournament this year." The blond nodded slowly. "Have you any idea when the other schools will arrive?" Over the last six years, everyone had gotten over how Voldemort looked now. The man looked less like a snake and more like a human but it did not make him any less cruel. Lucius also knew that his Lord was more powerful that he was before his resurrection.

"Yes my Lord. They arrive in two days time. However, Dumbledore had gotten over twenty Aurors at the school."

"It will not matter how many Aurors he has. We will attack when the other schools arrive. I will bring most of my army, and I can count on Karkaroff to join my side with some of his students. We will attack and kill Logan and Dumbledore before destroying that blasted castle." Voldemort laughed insanely. And Lucius shivered.

"Gather the Death Eaters and tell them of the attack. All except for Severus send him to me he has a potion to brew." Lucius nodded and left Voldemort to his thoughts.

He often wondered what happened to the second Potter child. He new for a fact that it was the one that was missing was the one who had beaten him all those years ago but he did not share this knowledge with anyone. At times, he thought he could feel the child in his mind but brushed it off as being paranoid. His mind went over to Logan Potter.

The light had claimed that this was the child that had defeated him and named him they Bwl. He laughed at the thought. He had battled the boy during the World cup and the child had been pathetically weak. Sure, he had some skill but he lacked power and that would lead to his defeat.

Soon Snape appeared in the room and bowed. "My Lord what is it that you require?"

"In two days we will be attacking the school and I need this brewed in order to bypass the wards. When you are done, you shall stay here. You will return after the attack." There was no room for argument. Voldemort handed him a piece of a parchment and set him on his way.


Two days later.

Dumbledore led the school outside towards the black lake to welcome the schools. The battalion of Aurors were at the back walking behind the first years while the teachers were in front. Moody was all the way at the back preferring to be behind everyone else. Some order members, Remus, Kingsley, Dedalus, Bill, Charlie, Arthur, Aberforth and Hestia Jones were walking to the right of Dumbledore.

Sirius who had declined being an Auror had taken the job at Hogwarts as the Muggle studies Professor ran up to Lupin to chat.

Dumbledore pointed to the east and told the students Beauxbatons would be arriving from that direction in just a few minutes.


Voldemort gathered his army of 250 plus Death Eaters and gave them the potion that Snape had finished brewing just hours before. "Drink." Was the simple command and his followers complied. Soon they all felt a tingling sensation in their bodies and the Death Eaters noticed that they were becoming paler. "Today we will destroy Hogwarts!" Voldemort yelled and so did the Death Eaters.

With a pop, every one of them was gone.

Meanwhile Snape was in the potions lab provided to him by Voldemort squeezing the life out of his order emblem. He hoped he was not too late.

Madam Maxime had just exited the carriage with her students and proceeded toward Dumbledore. "Ah Madam Maxime a pleasure." Dumbledore said as he bent to kiss her hand.


His mouth was only an inch away when his order emblem heated up. His blood ran cold as he looked up at James, Lily and the rest of the order. They had felt it too. He dropped Maxime's hand and cast the Sonorus charm on himself. "Voldemort is attacking Prefects gather the younger students and head to the dungeons."

They had just begun to move when there was a loud crack and Dumbledore turned around and spotted Voldemort and his army. He paled as he beheld their numbers. "We are outnumbered." He whispered.

The first spell was fired and pandemonium broke out. James and Lily led the aurors into the fight. The teachers were trying to protect the students so they had time to escape and many who were in their sixth and seventh stayed to help defend the castle.

Maxime and her students were caught in the crossfire and had no choice but to fight. Thankfully on Dumbledore's side.

Logan was separated from his friends during the rush to get back to the castle and as he looked for them, he saw a Death Eater torturing a student. He tackled the Death Eater and stunned him. He jumped up and saw Voldemort standing far away from the battle looking on calmly. Logan growled and ran towards him.

Hagrid having no wand was picking up Death Eaters like stones and started flinging them around. All the professors were dueling multiple Death Eaters. Dumbledore was fighting six on his own.

The Auror squads were fighting in two man teams and were taking down multiple opponents. James and Lily were a sight to see, Lily was defending her husband while James took down enemies with precision hardly ever missing. Voldemorts army was getting smaller, but he just continued to smirk as he saw the Potter boy

No one noticed the ship bursting from the lake. The occupants took one look and began fighting. Igor during the summer had sworn an oath of allegiance with Dumbledore, and he honored it by fighting against the Death Eaters.

Logan stood before Voldemort. "You're losing!" He shouted and Voldemort laughed.

"Did you really think that this was it?" He laughed uncontrollably. Logan was angry and sent a reducto at Voldemort who batted it aside. "Time for the main event." He said with glee and there was another crack and the loud pounding of footsteps. More Death Eaters had come and the battle began to shift the light side was losing.

"You bastard! Expellisarmus!"

"Avada Kedavra!"

They both shouted at the same time and the two spells met in the middle causing the Prior Incantato. It lasted about a minute before Voldemort broke it. "You cannot win boy I am stronger than you!" He declared.

"It doesn't matter I will beat you!" He shouted back and they traded blows again. Voldermort batted away Logan's three stunners and basted him several feet backwards.

"How you are too weak and I will kill everyone that you love, but if you join me this can all be avoided." Voldemort said.

Logan struggled to get up from that last attack but he managed it. "I'll never join you!" And sent a Diffindo at Voldemorts head. Voldemort just laughed as he dodged the curse and hit Logan with the Cruciatus. No one heard Logan's screaming over the sounds of battle.

Dumbledore held hope that they would win until he saw the reinforcement's that arrived. There was about another hundred Death Eaters and he was starting to tire. He saw Logan being tortured Voldemort and was about to help when Arthur stopped him. "We need more help!" He shouted over the sounds of the fight.

Dumbledore nodded. "Call the ministry and have them send extra Aurors." Arthur nodded. Dumbledore groaned aloud when he saw that even more Death Eaters had arrived. "If this keeps up we will lose." He said to him self. "We need more help."

He looked around. His teachers were fighting valiantly, they were beginning to tire, and two of them were already down. The Aurors had lost several members and the bodies of about 11 students were on the ground either dead or wounded, and the causalities were still rising.

Just then, there was a flash of red and his Phoenix landed on his shoulder and in its beak was a gold badge with three words written on it "Magicae est Mortem". Dumbledore took it and looked at Fawkes "are you sure we need their help?" The great bird thrilled loudly before vanishing in a ball of flames.

Dumbledore was desperate and needed the help. He knew "they" would get here faster than the ministry.

But they were a last resort. If they came, he knew they would win because it was just what they did.

He pressed the badge and spoke "I need help" and it glowed red before vanishing. Dumbledore sighed and apparated over to Logan after giving the battle field another look. Voldemort saw the old man and smiled dropping the torture curse. "I see you have come to save him Dumbledore."

He didn't answer just sent a stunning spell at the man who was once his student. Voldemorts doom would be arriving shortly.


Black Forest Germany.

In the middle of the Black Forest in Germany, a large group of people called the Red Death was currently living there. They had over twenty tents set up and a number of magical wards surrounding the place that they were currently living.

The Red Death was a group of Magical Mercenaries who all had special powers acquired over a long period of time. Some were more dangerous that others but none more dangerous that the black haired youth with the lightning bolt shaped scar.

Harry was training with his best friend in a secluded area just beyond the campsite but still in the wards. Jaden had his wand pointed toward Harry and fired a knee reversal curse at him. Jaden was lean tall and well built. His dark skin was smooth and flawless. He had long braids and a pair of golden brown eyes.

Harry had no wand, was using his hand to channel his magic, and conjured a mud wall to hide behind. "No you stupid fool. Do not hide attack him force him into a corner." The Chimera roared inside of Harry's head. Over the years, the two of them had become friends.

Deciding that the Chimera was right he jumped out from behind the wall a curse on his lips only for Jaden to not be there. "Behind you!" The Chimera yelled and Harry turned around just in time to block the cutting curse that was aimed at his leg.

"No fair." Jaden cried. "You have your mystical beast helping you out I have no one."

Harry just laughed at his friend and opened his palm where a sword appeared in his hand. The sword was around 65.3cm from hilt to the tip and was made from pure diamond. "Life's not fair." Harry vanished. "And then you die." He said from behind Jaden with the point of his sword against his neck.

Jaden lifted his hands in surrender and then turned around grinning broadly. "One day I will beat you." Harry laughed loudly, as in his mind he heard the Chimera roar in laughter

"Yeah that'll be the day."

"I assume that Chimera is laughing at me too." Harry nodded and the two shared a laugh before walking over to the fire that was located in the middle of the camp, before sitting down on the log benches, and rested. Ezra the leader of the group, Millie's father and the person that took Harry in soon joined them. He sat down next to Jaden and smiled at the two boys who were like his own children.

Ezra was an old man around 125 but he did not look like it. He looked around the age of 70 and could move with the speed of a young boy. Ezra had long white hair that came past his shoulders. A mustache and goatee rested on his kind face, which had few wrinkles. Whenever he smiled he would get crows feet and he looked like a peaceful kind man but get him angry and you would piss your trousers in fright.

"Jaden, Harry how was this mornings training?" Ezra asked. He dropped three arctic hares onto the ground and proceeded to skin them.

"It was good until Harry decided to cheat by using Chimera."

Ezra stopped and looked at Jaden. "Any advantage you have over your opponent use it no matter what it may be. It will mean the difference between life and death." Ezra said sternly.

The smile fell off of Jaden's face. He hated to disappoint Ezra. "Come now Jaden buck up, you know I'm not really mad but you do well to remember what I just said." He returned to skinning the rabbits, which were soon roasting over the fire.

The rest of the groups was starting to wake up. Now many would think that this group of people was probably dysfunctional because of how many different people were but they would be wrong. Everyone in the group got along perfectly except for the occasional argument on who used the last of the hot water.

There was no petty bickering and everyone was equal, as leader to the group, Ezra had made sure that this was one of the first rules.

Hunter a man of twenty-two with broad shoulders and thick beard was carrying a young deer over his shoulder. Millie was now thirteen and was becoming quite the woman. Her long dark hair stopped at her neck, she sometimes kept it in a ponytail leaving just a few strands hanging in front of her face. She had dimples when she smiled and a pointy chin.

Over the years, Harry had grown more close to her and still had yet to ask her out. Millie and Hunter sat down and were soon joined by two more members Shane and Mia.

Everyone was eating when there was a loud wailing noise and a glowing red badge fell into Ezra's plate. The man picked it up and the blood from his face drained. "Ezra what is it?" Harry asked.

The man looked at everyone. "This belonged to Albus Dumbledore. I gave it to him and told him to use it only in the direst of circumstances." He stood up and waved his wand and the wailing sound stopped. "Everyone please prepare for battle."

Everyone stood and began to summon and put on various protective clothing. Harry followed Ezra. "You have been in touch with Dumbledore?" He asked Ezra.

"No Harry I have not, but now is not a good time to discuss this, can it wait until after we respond. I promise I shall give you answers." Harry stood there a little while longer before he left.

"Chimera what do you think Dumbledore needs help with?"

"Well seeing as it is an unknown situation I would say Voldemort but I'm sure you probably figured that out already."

"Do you think Ezra told Dumbledore that I am here?"

"No I doubt it; Ezra does not seem like a person who would do such a thing." With a wave of his hand, Harry had all his protective armor on. He summoned his red cloak and donned it before leaving.

Most of the group was already finished and were waiting for him. The entire group was dressed in red robes hence the Red in their name Red Death. The Death part well it's kinda obvious if you think about it.

Harry grabbed onto the sleeve of Ezra's robe. "We do not know the situation so be prepared for a fight. This came from Dumbledore so I assume that we will be dealing with Death Eaters. It's time." Ezra announced and everyone drew wands.

Harry turned his head to look at Millie and Jaden. "Ready to kick some ass?" Harry asked.

"Yeah lets make a bet whoever kills the least amount of Death Eaters had to cook for the other two." Millie suggested.

"Deal!" Both boys shouted as the portkey activated and whisked them away.

Dumbledore brandished his wand and a flame whip shot out of it attempting to strangle Voldemort, who laughed and froze the flame before it could touch him. Voldemort shot a killing curse at Dumbledore who conjured a marble wall to protect him self.

When Dumbledore had started dueling, Voldemort Logan didn't stick around. Instead, he started fighting the Death Eaters. It had been seven minutes since Dumbledore had activated the badge and he continued to hold Voldemort at bay.

Voldemort cast an Incendio at Dumbledore but before the huge flame reached him it vanished as a loud whooshing noise was hear. The wards around Hogwarts buckled and a portkey deposited a group of 15 individuals all in red cloaks onto the battle-ridden grounds of Hogwarts.

Dumbledore's face broke out into a large smile. Ezra however was angry and it clearly showed on his face. He saw the dead bodies of students and something snapped. "Kill all the Death Eaters." And that was all he said before he cast the killing curse at the nearest one who fell as his life was taken away.

Harry grinned as he heard the command. "Well Chimera looks like it's your time to shine." The Chimera just growled and began supplying Harry with power.


A/N: The battle will take place next chapter. Please review and let me know if there is any way I can improve.

It is my pleasure to write for you. I will give a full description on the Red Death Group Members in another chapter. Soon you will be able to see how dangerous Harry really is.

Please Review.
