A/N: Here is the fight between Voldemort and Harry. I apologies for the lateness of the last chapter, but work was killer. However, I am back and won't be gone for quite a while.
Disclaimer: Its ten o clock. Can you afford to be sued? I know I can't. And this is what a disclaimer is for. I do not own Harry Potter.
Fudge stared open mouth at the hideous figure that was looking at him. "And who might you be?" Fudge asked the man in a rather nervous voice.
"Me. Why I am the one and only Lord Voldemort." There was absolute silence from this declaration. "And I have come to take over the Wizarding World." The first curse was fired and panic ensued as people tried to run. Death Eaters were killing without abandon while Voldemort stalked toward Fudge who was frozen in place. "I will kill you Fudge." Voldemort said.
He stepped closer and raised his wand. Fudge was shaking like a leaf. "Avada-" and Voldemort was blasted back by a gust of wind. Standing before him was Albus Dumbledore. "Dumbledore why do you continue to protect him when you know that he would be better off dead?"
"Because everyone deserves a chance at life no matter who they are and you Tom have no right to take that away from people." Dumbledore shot a body bind at the Dark Lord who vanished from where he was standing only to reappear behind them he cast the killing curse Fudge.
10:59 and 44 seconds Hogwarts broom closet.
Harry Potter woke up feeling very disoriented and wondering why he was lying in such an awkward position. Then he remembered Ginny using the Imperius curse, before he could form any more thoughts he felt a tug behind his navel and he vanished from the broom closet.
Harry realized that he was traveling by portkey. He was dropped on the hard cold floor of the Ministry where people were fighting and dying all around him. So far, no one had noticed that the boy-who-lived had arrived at the Ministry. After being kicked so many times by frantic panicky people, he jumped and began to run for cover.
He hid behind a fallen statue when he realized someone was right behind him. He drew his wand, spun around, and came face to face with Tonks. "Harry!" She shouted. "When did you get here?"
"About a minute ago, what happened here?" He shouted back.
"Voldemort attacked!" She yelled back. He barely heard her over the explosions of spells but he did hear her say Voldemort. Harry immediately began searching for his most hated enemy, and soon he spotted him fighting Dumbledore.
He made a run straight to where he was ignoring Tonks who was calling out his name. A random Death Eater decided to block his path. "Harry Potter!" The Death Eater said in excitement. Harry stunned him and continued towards Voldemort while stunning random Death Eaters when they crossed his path.
Lucius saw Potter making his way to his master. He quickly killed the ministry employee he was fighting and apparated right in front of him stopping his advance. "What are you doing here Potter?" The blond spat at him. Harry could tell it was Lucius by the hair that was showing.
He summoned the mans mask and it was ripped away from his face. Many ministry employees saw him. Lucius growled and launched the killing curse in Harry's direction.
He was pushed violently out of the way. "Focus on Voldemort I'll handle him" The gruff voice of Moody said.
Voldemort was sending killing curse after killing curse toward Fudge who was being protected by Dumbledore. "Stop this Tom there is no way for you to win."
Peter Pettigrew the traitor from Gryffindor was present in this battle. He was a coward who could not fight so resorted to running around in his rat form while striking down unsuspecting people. Dumbledore just happened to be one of those people.
He was so focused on fighting to protect Fudge he didn't notice anything else. Peter transformed and brought his knife down stabbing Dumbledore in the back. The same moment a killing cruse struck Fudge in the face and Harry stopped in his tracks screaming in rage.
The smile that was on Voldemorts lips vanished as he turned to see Harry looking at him in rage.
He didn't have time to dodge as the Cruciatus curse connected. Voldemort never felt such pain. He tried to remain standing and fight the curse but the power behind it was too much and he fell to his knees before finally falling to the floor withering and screaming on the floor.
The sound of Voldemort screaming stopped everything else. Everyone was staring in shock as Voldemort continued to scream.
Finally, a Death Eater with some sense shot a stunning spell at Harry and the cruse broke as he dodged and Voldemort scrambled to his feet looking murderous.
Harry was exhausted, the unforgivable had taken a lot out of him and he was starting to feel light headed. He could see the blurry from of Voldemort taunting him but did not hear the words.
He heard the soothing sound of the Phoenix song and his vision filled with red and green.
He opened his eyes slowly. There was a steady song playing that made him feel as if he were safe. He sat up ramrod straight and looked around him. Standing before him were three Phoenixes. The same ones that saved them from Voldemort in their own time.
He was no longer at the ministry but in a vast field full of flowers and trees. Looking around him, he could see other magical creatures in the place. There were Griffins, Basilisks, Nundus and something that kept on changing its form.
"Harry" He heard his name being called and turned to face the Phoenixes.
Harry awoke in a familiar place. The hospital wing in Hogwarts. He groaned loudly as he tried to turn on his side. There was a rustle of movement and soon Madam Pomfrey was looming over him. "Potter open up and drink this." He did as he was told and the potion slid down his throat.
It tasted of sand and something else he couldn't identify. "I don't know how it is possible but you end up in here more than anyone I have ever known." He tried to sit up but the medi witch pushed him back down. "You need to rest. Professor Dumbledore will be in to speak with you shortly about what happened at the ministry and a few other things."
He nodded and lay back down and thought about what the three phoenixes had told him when he met them. His thoughts were interrupted when Dumbledore walked into the room. He quickly made his way over to Harry. Dumbledore looked as if he had aged considerably. His usually tidy clean clothes were rumpled and dirty looking and his eyes lacked the usual twinkle to them.
"Professor, are you feeling alright, how is your wound?" He asked when he remembered that Pettigrew had stabbed him.
Dumbledore smiled. "Harry you do not need to worry about me I am fine and have healed up well. What I would like to know is what happened to you when you attacked Voldemort."
Harry shook his head. "I got angry when I saw that traitor almost kill you and I don't know what happened but I snapped and casted an unforgivable. Then I got dizzy from using so much power I couldn't even focus anymore."
"It is quite understandable Harry but I would like to caution you not to use those types of curses. Now on to other matters. When you vanished from the ministry where did you go?"
"I am sorry Headmaster but I cannot tell you it is a secret that I swore to protect." Dumbledore looked at Harry for a long moment as if deciding on something in the end he just nodded in understanding.
"It seems that your friends found Ms. Weasley unconscious in the middle of the hall. Do you know what happened?"
"No, I was knocked out too but I don't know by whom. What I do know she used the imperius curse on me about two times." Dumbledore looked saddened by this piece of news.
"They also discovered Mr. Weasley about to commit a very atrocious crime." Dumbledore waited.
"What did he do?" Dumbledore swallowed.
"When Mr. Longbottom and Ms. Lovegood found him he was about to rape Ms. Granger." Harry didn't hear anything after that. He sprang out of bed and began looking for Hermione. Dumbledore with a flick of his wand levitated Harry back to bed.
"Harry please calm down. She is unharmed and is safely in the common room with friends. As for Mr. and Ms. Weasley it seems that they will need to be removed from the school." Harry was breathing hard and was shaking from all of his anger.
"You mean he is still walking around!" Harry shouted He wanted to murder Ron. The bastard, when he got his hands on him. Dumbledore interrupted his thoughts.
"No I am having Professor Snape watch over him while I determine what to do with him. I also thought it best for you to know Harry. Fudge is dead, we have a new minister, and she will help us fight this war against Voldemort properly."
Harry too grew grim. "How long have I been out?"
"A day but a lot has happened in that time Harry." He nodded.
"Did anyone else die?" It seemed as though Dumbledore aged another twenty years when he asked. He nodded gravely.
"How many?"
"We lost three order members and seventeen other wizarding families. Many were injured. But Voldemort fled after you vanished from the ministry, he was wounded by Moody and Remus who are both suffering from terrible injuries."
Harry paled. Remus was injured. "Will he be alright?"
"Right now the staff of St. Mungos cannot say." Dumbledore sighed loudly. "I will let you rest now Harry. You may see Ms. Granger afterwards." The old man left Harry to think about the things he was just told.
Voldemorts Lair
Lucius Malfoy's screams were heard throughout his home. Voldemort was livid. His son had failed in keeping Potter away from the ministry and now Lucius was suffering. He released the spell and Malfoy began to cough violently. Specks of his blood hit the floor along with his saliva.
Voldemort emptied another potion bottle before throwing it at Lucius. He rotated his left arm and felt a stab of pain. "Damn that bloody werewolf and Auror." He thought. They had managed to take a large chunk out of his arm after he was hit with Potters Crucio. But he had gotten his revenge blasting a hole through Moody and cutting the arm off the werewolf. "Rise Lucius" The man did so.
"You and your son have failed me and you have been discovered by many as a Death Eater. You are no longer of any use to me." Lucius eyes widened in fear.
"Please my Lord it will not happen again. Please give me another chance. I can do better." Voldemort smiled.
"Very well but take this as a reminder to never fail me again. "Sectumsempra!" Lucius fell to the floor screaming. "Wormtail" The rat scurried out of his hiding place. "Make sure he does not die.
It was now two days after the incident at the ministry and Harry had found out that Amelia Bones was the new minister and the ministry was now working with the Order to help stop Voldemort. Right now, he was looking for Hermione.
He travelled the whole castle looking for her and right now, he was in the astronomy tower. When he looked over the edge and saw a lone figure sitting by the black lake under a tree. It took him about fifteen minutes but he was now sitting next to Hermione with one arm draped around her shoulders. She was resting her head on his shoulder and they did not speak. Aurors had come by earlier today and arrested Ron for attempted rape and use of an unforgivable and Ginny for use of an unforgivable. The two of them were being kept n ministry holding cells. Mrs. Weasley had been furious at Ron and Ginny and was now with them at the ministry.
"I did some thinking after what happened with Ginny and Ron and I realized that we will die if we keep fighting this way. If it was an enemy instead of Ron, we would be dead. We need to get better and quickly if we want to win this war."
"I agree with you Harry and I think that we should train harder than ever." He looked at her and smiled. The two of them sat in silence for another minute or so.
"Fudges, along with the rest that died have their funeral in a few days Harry, do we get to go?" Hermione asked.
"I don't think Dumbledore will let us." No more was said. Harry's watch alarm went off. "We have to go. The dueling club is starting in less than five minutes."
Outside of the Great Hall, there was a mass of students. Harry stared at everyone in shock as he made his way over to Tonks. "Most of these people didn't sign the sheet." "Well Harry after what happened at the ministry people now know that Voldemort is back and they want to learn." He nodded in understanding. Soon the doors opened and Dumbledore stepped out.
"The hall has been prepared for your lessons. Please come in." The group of students rushed in and gasped when they saw that the great hall had been expanded to at least 4 times its normal size. "Auror Tonks will be teaching you how to defend your self with more advanced spells." There was a slight murmur. "Is anything the matter?"
"Well we came here to learn how to defend against Death Eaters and I don't mean to offend but I don't think that she would be the best teacher for this." A random voice from the back shouted. Tonks looked extremely sour. Dumbledore smiled.
"Who would you all suggest teach you then?"
"Potter!" another anonymous voice shouted. Dumbledore smiled and thought for a moment.
"Very well, Harry?" He called. "Would you be willing to teach?" Harry and Hermione stepped through the crowd.
Sheepishly he grinned and accepted. "But why?" This time the person who spoke first came forward, and every one was surprised to see that it was the Slytherin Blaize.
"My father told me what you did at the ministry and how your curse brought Voldemort to his knees, and I am a person who knows power and you have it." Many were nodding in agreement with him. They had heard exactly what Harry had done and that is why so many had shown up. "So if you don't mind could you teach us so that we won't be sitting ducks if Voldemort," There was a large intake of air and many people flinched. "Decides to attack us." Harry was astounded. He had never heard anyone outside his group call Voldemort by his name and he respected the Slytherin for his bravery.
Harry nodded and smiled. "I will help train you but Tonks here will stick around to help. Now!" He said in a commanding tone, "Everyone space out, its time to learn how to cast the knee reversal curse." Everyone cheered and pulled out their wands.
Harry Potter was now teaching them spells to keep them alive. Harry was also grinning but for a different reason. He now had a capable fighting force.
