Lord Voldemort Returns
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Starktrek Voyager.
-OOOOO-
"The golden trio was so naïve as to think there was only one kind of Horcrux!" said Voldemort. "Snape betrayed me or I'd have been back in time to punish James Potter the Second."
"I made a very special Horcrux and entrusted it to Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy. Snape betrayed me and if he had descendents I would make sure they all suffered."
"The Horcrux was a fail safe Horcrux. Lucius was to see that my soul essence went to a baby boy. Snape changed the spell on it and it went to a girl. She despised me so I abandoned her."
"Not without trying to railroad her to prison. You failed and you will fail again!" said Ensign Potter.
"I have a more important goal now. I will take this ship, find a planet and make it a world of Death Eaters!" said Voldemort.
"Weasley to Janeway, Condition Green!" called a Weasley.
Voldemort pointed his wand at Weasley and chanted, "CRUCIO!"
Weasley fell to the floor screaming.
"It's not nice to defy Lord Voldemort, Weasley!"
"Have we learned our lesson, or should I make and end of you? Lord Voldemort teaches obedience lessons!"
He released the sobbing Ensign Weasley. Ensign Potter took him to his quarters and settled him in his bed.
-OOOOO-
On Earth some excitement was stirred. A message from Romulus. Could it be and end of hostilities. The Preater came on and told them Voyager had been found in Delta Quadrant.
"I need you to satisfy me she will be peaceful toward the Romulan Star Empire. She is on the far side of our space and wishes to cross Romulan Space to come home," said the Preater.
"Get the President!" was the excited cry.
The Federation President reassured the Romulan Preater that Voyager had no hostile intentions. He did not know Lord Voldemort had been restored and was taking Voyager over. Not even Janeway knew that, not yet.
-OOOOO-
Voldemort tried the Imperius Curse of Ensign Potter. Potter just kept throwing it. He tried the Cruciatus Curse and that was thrown. He screamed in rage and Disapparated.
"Potter to Janeway! Condition Red. Sound General Quarters! Intruder Alert! Potter out!"
Red lights flashed all over Voyager and Janeway ran with a security crew towards the wizards quarters. She found the wizards holding their wands at the ready.
"Please believe me!" pleaded Ensign Potter. "Voldemort is back. He had some sort of special Horcrux that allowed him to be restored after his was dead. He said there are several kinds of them. When he could not take control of me he Disapparated. He has his old yew and phoenix feather wand. Baxter's wand is holly and phoenix feather. The feather is from Fawkes. Baxter has the twin core protection."
-OOOOO-
Harry Potter had a holly wand with a phoenix feather core. Ensign Potter's wand was Hawthorn with a Unicorn hair, the same composition as Draco Malfoy's wand. He did not have twin core protection.
Vodemort's wand had been locked up in the Department of Mysteries and just before the trip on Voyager it had disappeared. Harry Potter had won the Elder Wand from Draco Malfoy. After he used it to repair his holly and phoenix feather wand he had broken it and tossed it off a bridge at Hogwarts. It was found in one piece again. Harry placed it in his Gringotts vault and as far as Ensign Potter knew it was still there. His father had shown it to him a few times. It had the power to mend broken wands and was occasionally used for that purpose.
-OOOOO-
Later on the Voyager wizards were in for another shock. Bellatrix LeStrange made an appearance. She was restored by the same kind of Horcrux Voldemort had used.
"When we find our world," she said, "the Dark Lord and I shall have beautiful Death Eater babies. You can keep you precious Earth. We won't need it anymore. Other Death Eaters are being restored and we will have a Death Eater planet!"
Then she Disapparated.
Later Antonin Dolohov appeared.
"Let me make a proposition," said Dolohov. "Put us down on a suitable planet and Voyager can continue in peace."
"No!" said Ensign Potter. "You will get hungry for Earth and you or your descendents will attack Federation planets."
"Dolohov, I have information on you. Your parents adopted you without question. They had trouble adopting. They took a child with uncertain blood status. Rumor is you are a Muggle-born. You were presented to the Dark Lord as the pure-blood son of the Dolohovs. It destroyed them when you came home with the Dark Mark. They died a short time later," said Ensign Potter.
"Lies!" yelled Dolohov.
"Did you know the Dark Lord is not a pure-blood?" asked Potter.
"His blood is pure!" screamed Dolohov
"His father was a Muggle named Tom Riddle. His mother was a witch, a descendent of Salazar Slytherin. She named him Tom and died. He's a half-blood like my ancestor Harry Potter. Why does he lead pure-bloods?"
"Lies!" screamed Dolohov.
"You had a step brother, a natural Dolohov but he was a Squib and was sent away. Later on he blew the whistle on you to Harry Potter! The Squib had a decent wizarding son, a friend to James Sirius Potter."
"James Sirius Potter was a Mudblood lover! He ran around with a Yankee Mudblood and a Dolohov who would not take the Dolohov name!" said Dolohov.
"James and his friends were honorable wizards. You dirtied the Dolohov name and I would not have taken it either," said Potter.
Dolohov Disapparted without answering.
-OOOOO-
Janeway called a conference in her ready room. "I understand the Death Eaters of the Twentieth Century want a Death Eater Planet."
"That is their demand," said Malfoy, "and they say they would leave us alone. Death Eaters depend on plunder. I'm descended from them. If it's not us it will be some other race that is plundered and enslaved. For now I think we can stall them. We can tell them their request requires approval of the British Ministry of Magic, the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire."
"I like Malfoy's idea but it is not permanent. We need a more permanent solution," said Ensign Potter. "It will work as a temporary measure."
"That's what we'll do for now. I don't want to actually give them a planet. I know what happened when James Kirk gave Kahn a planet and how Kahn later attacked Kirk. Good Starfleet people lost their live to that maniac," said Janeway.
"Potter you and Malfoy have the assignment to study the book Secrets of the Darkest Art. It's on computer but buried in passwords. We will go through the Romulan Preator and contact the British Ministry of magic through Starfleet. The Department of Mysteries has the book and the passwords."
-OOOOO-
Long ago Hermione had summoned all the books on dark magic from Professor Dumbledore's office on the day of his burial. Professor Dumbledore had removed them from the Restricted section of the Library after Tom Riddle had gone dark.
She had studied about Horcruxes and was a Horcrux authority. After the Battle of Hogwarts she turned the Dark Arts books over to Kingsley Shacklebolt and he locked them up in Auror Headquarters.
When Harry Potter became Minister of Magic, some years later, he moved all of those books to the Department of Mysteries. They were still locked up there.
Potter decided to begin the search by looking for recordings under Hermione Granger and Hermione Weasley and found a recording on computer with a wizarding password he could supply.
The Starfleet logo appeared and then there was Hermione Weasley with partly grey brown bushy hair. It was obvious she was a beautiful woman. The Weasleys had often bragged about her beauty.
-OOOOO-
"Horcruxes, what are they and what can they do?" said Hermione. "I never told Harry Potter everything I found out about them. There are more types than one."
"Harry Potter was dealing with the most common type, the Soul Horcrux. To create it a wizard has to violate the laws of nature with the most heinous crime, murder. This causes the soul to split and the fragment may be concealed in an object, person or animal. As long as the Horcrux exists the wizard cannot die."
"Horcruxes are very difficult to destroy. When someone dies their soul is released to go on to the next life. A soul fragment in a Horcrux is the complete opposite of a human being. If the Horcrux is damaged it magically repairs itself. To destroy it must be damaged beyond magical repair. This is done by basilisk venom, the Sword of Gryffindor or by Feindfyre. I prefer basilisk fangs. They are impregnated with basilisk venom."
"Each time a wizard creates a Horcrux part of his soul is bottled up within it. He becomes more and more unstable. Tom Riddle created seven soul Horcruxes. Five of them were objects. One was his notorious snake, Nagini, and the last one, created by accident, was Harry Potter."
"When he as Lord Voldemort killed Harry Potter's mother, the soul fragment latched onto Harry Potter giving him powers such as Parseltongue and a link to Lord Voldemort."
"To get rid of all the Soul Horcruxes Harry had to give himself to Lord Voldemort and take the Killing Curse from him. Harry was destroyed as a Horcrux but not as Harry Potter. When Voldemort applied the Curse both he (as confirmed by Death Eater Prisoners) and Harry fell and it seemed both were dead. Both recovered but Harry played dead and Voldemort thought he had killed Harry. All he had done was to destroy one of his Horcruxes."
"Hagrid was ordered to carry Harry back to Hogwarts and lay him at Vodemort's feet where Voldemort thought he belonged. Neville Longbottom made a stirring speech that we had to go on, a speech that will live in the annals of wizarding history."
"Nagini was the remaining Horcrux. The Sword of Gryffindor presented itself to Neville and he destroyed the last Horcrux, or so we thought. All of the Soul Horcruxes were gone and Voldemort was killed by his own rebounding Killing Curse."
"But there was another kind of Horcrux made."
"It was a Transference Horcrux. It will not save a wizard's life. It only works after the wizard is dead. Any object can be used but usually a knife or dagger is chosen as it must puncture someone to be of effect. Essence is transferred to the recipient, usually a pregnant woman. It was to be used on a woman carrying a baby boy."
"Professor Snape was given charge of it and secretly being part of the Order or the Phoenix, cast a spell on in it to seek a woman carrying a baby girl. This essence gathered the destroyed soul fragments which were really only widely scattered, everywhere yet nowhere. The girl had two souls, her's and Voldemort's. No one knew why on earth she was a Parseltongue. When she became of age she had to decide whether to follow the soul of Voldemort or her own. She rejected Voldemort and he abandoned her."
"Dark Magic leaves traces and in her case she kept many of his special powers such as speaking Parseltongue. He attempted and nearly succeeded in framing her for a wizarding crime. Harry Potter was the wiser and secured her freedom."
"A soul reconstituted this way does not need a host body. However repeating the ceremony used in the Little Hangleton graveyard will restore it the same way as Voldemort was restored."
"The Transference Horcrux is very powerful. I scared me and I had screaming nightmares about it. I modified my parents memories and sent them to Australia, about as far from Voldemort as one could get. I never dared tell Harry Potter. He had more than enough on his plate. When I later recovered my parents I did not restore the memories of the nightmares."
-OOOOO-
Potter and Malfoy had horrified looks on their faces. They called a conference with Janeway and played the recording. Janeway cried like a little girl who had been bullied. When she pulled herself together she decided to call the Romulan Preator.
"Let's get a link to the British Ministry of Magic. I am at a loss here." said Janeway and sent the subspace message.
With encouragement from Ambassador Spock, the Romulan Preator was very helpful. Soon they had the British Minister of Magic on subspace radio. He was Potter's father.
"Until recently I'd thought you were no more. Son it is so good to hear your voice!" said the Minister.
"Father, Lord Voldemort is back through a type of Horcrux we did not know about. Hermione did not dare tell Harry Potter about it. We found it on an obsure wizarding recording, Hermione Weasley herself. You have the book Secrets of the Darkest Art locked up in the Department of Mysteries. We need to use it," said Potter.
"Son, I hope you know what you are asking!" said the Senior Potter. "That cursed book has brought nothing but sorrow. That's why it's locked up. We almost destroyed it but feared one day we would need it. It's in the wizarding material on the computer, buried under passwords. It's in ancient runes."
"We have had a lot of time to study, we all know runes. You also need to add Ensign Baxter to the list of wizards. He is Muggle-born, born in space and spent enough of his life here you did not detect him."
"We have him down from a visit to London but before we could tell him he was a wizard he was gone on Voyager. We had a place saved at Hogwarts for him but Voyager was lost and we thought you were all no more."
"Father, James Sirius Potter found out Tom Riddle came to Hogwarts a fully practicing dark wizard. Dark wizards began to instruct him while he was still at Wool's orphanage. At Hogwarts they got in the way. He stole a Muggle gun, shot them and disposed of them and the gun in the dark forest. Nothing could be proven until James found a stolen Pensieve in Professor Dumbledore's artifacts. The whole crime was unprovable without the Pensieve."
"Yes, the Centaurs found the bodies and the gun and almost buried all of it. Bane took the gun to Professor Dumbledore. Young Riddle was questioned by Muggle police but nothing could be proven. World War II was on and they did not have time for it. The three dark wizards were part of Grindelwald's lot," said the Senior Potter.
"Father the book did not make Voldemort dark. He is demanding to be put down on a planet with fellow Death Eaters-"
"NO!" yelled the Senior Potter. "We will not dump Death Eater garbage on some nice virgin planet!"
There was a loud crack. Avery Apparated.
"I would reconsider that, Potter!" yelled Avery. "We have an army of Death Eaters on Voyager. Where do you want us, Delta quadrant or Earth?"
"On the USS Azkaban!" said the senior Potter.
"You and your Gryffindor bravery!" taunted Avery.
"I was sorted to Slytherin!" said the senior Potter. "It's a different world out here."
"I'm as brave as Harry Potter and more cunning than Severus Snape. You watch yourself. You are not in a position to make too many demands."
Avery Disapparated with a loud crack.
"Dad he's gone for now," said Ensign Potter.
"I need Wizengamot approval to send you those passwords. Be brave son. Potter out."
The communication broke.
-OOOOO-
