Chapter Thirty-one

The Dark Awakening of Harry Potter and the Darkest Secrets of Lord Voldemort

"I seem to be having amnesia." Fred stated as he looked at Harry, said Boy-Who-Lived snuggling in Hermione's chest as she and Neville dragged him to the centre of the ritual circle "Why did it have to happen now? He seems pretty stable to me."

"Yes, I think that's the point. NOW is a day after he had that vision. For Voldemort anyway." Chao explained.

"I don't get it." George said flatly.

"Look, during and after the vision, Voldemort was closer connected to Harry then before, not just Harry to him. Think of their connection as a rubber straw. If it gets stretched wider at one end, the same can happen to the other. Yesterday, Voldemort' end was stretched, today it isn't." Yue explained as shi sipped her juice.

"Only you could compare a mental link to a straw." Haruna shook her head.

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but Harry's end of the straw it too far stretched as it is. We need to do this NOW" Eva said annoyed as she levitated several items into the circle.

"Hold on, why are you putting the Invisibility Cloak there? Besides the ingredients, Harry only needs his wand." Hermione asked surprised.

"When his core will be unblocked, the other will be as well. It will be a short battle of wills between Harry' soul and that insignificant fragment of Riddle'. Harry will win, hands down, but when he does, the two cores will clash and merge, creating a huge magical shock wave. And in this portion of the ritual circle…" Eva indicated the outmost layer of the circle "items can be placed for purification and binding. After we're done, nobody outside Harry' family will be able to place a spell on this Cloak, Elder Wand or not." the vampire grinned.

"You lost me when you said soul fragment of Voldemort's" Hermione said as she glared at Eva.

"Oh, I guess we didn't tell anyone about this before, did we?" Eva chuckled.

"No, you did not." Daphne said angrily.

"Will it hurt Harry?" Luna asked Negi.

"If we don't unbind his core, it would." Negi stated. "But after we hit it whit that much power, it will be completely consumed by Harry."

"Consumed?" Neville asked in confusion as Daphne and Blaise gasped.

"The reason none of the ghosts at Hogwarts NEVER posses the living is that if they hold it for too long, one soul will consume the other." Hermione said thoughtfully.

"Yes, and it would be the ghost who loses, since it doesn't have any magical power." Negi nodded. "The same goes in Harry' case. The soul fragment, while it was initially connected to the second core, it now belongs to Harry by right of conquest. His magic has claim over it."

"But that's not all. When a soul consumes another, there are consequences. Usually bad." Blaise mentioned.

"Yes, but because of the modifications I made to the ritual we can chose the ones that will benefit Harry the most." Negi smirked.

"Such as?" Hermione inquired.

"Voldemort' memories." Chao said. "All of them. I hate to show him those horrors, but as he assimilates all of them during the ritual, he will be given the choice to discard some of them. And we'll collect them here…" she pointed towards a large pensive that could only be used for storage"in case there's something important in them."

"You do realize that he'll hate you afterwards, right?" Hermione asked dryly.

"Oh, but you don't know half of it." Eva chuckled darkly. "After he gets all that knowledge, he'll be training with me personally to control his new powers. His Darkness element will completely awaken, and he'll have to learn to use it. After that training, hate won't even begin to describe what he'll feel for me."

"Enough talk. It's time to begin." Negi said and the seven most magically powerful of the group – himself, Eva, Chao, Asuna, Konoka, Kotaro and Mana – placed their hands on the invisible shield that had been erected around the ritual circle and channelled their magic into it.

Soon enough, the runes lit up and Harry began to levitate until he was standing upright at three feet above the ground. As he opened his eyes, they saw that both ha slit pupils, though only the one under the scar had changed colour. And it was blood red.

"The battle of wills between the souls is an internal battle. The change of his eyes will be the only physical proof that it's still going on." Yue stated.

A twister of magical energy appeared around Harry as two orb of energy emerged from Harry' body. As they occasionally collided, cracks appeared on the orbs. Eventually, the shells cracked and the orbs expanded exponentially. But to everyone' surprise, they even changed colours.

"The old man seemed to have thought of everything." Negi mussed.

"What do you mean sensei?" Ku Fei asked.

"He almost completely blocked some of Harry' elemental affinities. It looks like Harry' original core has all affinities besides Ice, Sand and Water, but he gets those from the other core." Negi explained.

"Yes, but he left his darkness element completely unsuppressed compared to the others, and that allowed it to grow too much. About 20% of his core is pure darkness. No wonder he has problems." Eva sighed in annoyance. "And when we add the 50% darkness from the other one…" she trailed off.

"We're going to teach Magia Erebea to him, aren't we?" Negi groaned.

"I don't see other choice." Chao sighed.

"Wasn't that an extremely dangerous to learn technique?" Neville asked.

"Yes, but if he fails to learn it, he'll lose his darkness element completely. Well, lose isn't the best way of putting it. More like converted to something else like light, or something" Eva explained.

"If he lives, that is." Luna said annoyed.

"Well, he would die if he can't control that amount of dark power." Eva shrugged.

"Yeah, I was almost there myself." Negi admitted. "Getting consumed by darkness isn't pleasant by any stretch of the word."

"Look, it's almost over." Nodoka pointed out.

Indeed, the cores had completely merged and the large one that had resulted was slowly breaking apart and pieces of it were being sucked into Harry' chest. When it was over, Harry closed his now green but still slit eyes. Then, a few seconds after his feet touched the ground, he opened his eyes wide a wave of magic erupted from him, washing over the entire ritual circle and erasing it. As it died down, only Harry, his wand and the Invisibility Cloak remained. And something was glowing on Harry' chest.

"What is that glow?" Hermione asked curiously.

"It's proof that he is bounded by magic to a witch or witches. It will look like a star, and for each corner there's a witch he's bonded to and has to marry." Eva explained.

"Is that so?" Harry asked as he raised his shirt for a closer look and froze. "Negi?"

"Yes Harry?" Negi asked, a little concerned by the boy' tone.

"I and engaged to three girls, right?" Harry asked.

"Harry asked.

"Yes. To Daphne, Luna and the Drake girl we still know nothing of." Negi confirmed.

"So I should have a triangle on my chest, right?" Harry asked.

"Yes." Negi replied slowly as he suddenly got an idea of where this was going.

"Then why does my triangle look just like a pentagram?" Harry groaned.

"Huh?" everyone else blinked in confusion and approached the boy.

True enough, there was a green coloured pentagram tattoo on his chest.

"Oh god, I just knew there will be another playboy, I just knew it!" Chisame groaned.

"It could only happen to Harry." Hermione shook her head in exasperation. "Only he could be spoken for five girls without even knowing."

"Hey! It's not my fault!" Harry defended.

"It never is. That's the point." Ginny said.

"It's alright Harry." Negi patted him on the shoulder. "I know EXACTLY how you feel." he said crying anime tears.

"You're not helping." Harry rubbed his temples.

"We'll deal with this when we go at Gringotts. If you are in any marriage contracts or magical bonds, they will know more about them then we will." Eva interrupted. "For now, how about you test your new power a bit?"

"Okay." Harry nodded and the Room of Requirement they were in morphed into a replica of Eva' Resort. "Alright, let's see…" Harry concentrated before he began chanting "Signum Demonium! Undecim spiritus fulgurales, coeuntes inimucum concordant! Sagitta Magica Series Fulgoris!"

Eleven humongous orbs of lightning the size of Harry's torso appeared around him and shot towards the sky, where they exploded.

"Okayyyy….." Negi blinked. "We need to work on your control. That spell was so overpowered that I'm surprised it didn't blow up earlier."

"But I did it as I usually do." Harry scratched his head in confusion.

"And that is?" Chao inquired.

"I chanted the spell and focused the same percentage of power I always do.: Harry replied.

"And that's the problem." Eva berated him. "That percentage is much larger now that all those blocks have been removed. You must measure the power you use in amounts, not percentages. As you train, your core slowly grows, thus the amount of power in that percentage grows as well."

"So I'm back to square one, huh?" Harry said gloomily.

"More or less." Negi shrugged. "You know the spells, all you need to do is learn how muck power it's required for each of them."

"Here's an idea." Hermione said suddenly. "Make more arrows using the same percentage of power. Until each will have the amount of magical power in them. That way, you'll find out how much energy you need for weaker spells."

"Hm, it might work." Eva mussed. "Go ahead and use three hundred arrows."

"THREE HUNDRED?" Harry yelled in shock.

"Of darkness." Eva added.

"But you said…" Harry began.

"I just told you what to do, right?" Eva cut him off.

"Alrigh, if you're sure…" Harry shrigged while everyone took their distance. "Dominus De Somnis Ille Territus! Trecenti undesexaginta spiritus obscuri, coeuntes inimucum concordant! Sagitta Magica Series Obscuri!"

The light around Harry faded as three hundred orbs of darkness appeared floating before they shot upwards and hit the numerous targets that Harry willed into existence.

"That was awesome!" the Weasley twins exclaimed.

"Wow, I'm still stuck at seventy." Daphne whispered in awe.

"Well done." Eva applauded. "Now that we know that your power level is as expected, there is only one thing we need to know before we get back."

"The memories, rigjt?" Harry asked grimly.

"Yes." Negi confirmed.

"Well, I'm honestly happy that Voldemort learned Oclumency and Legilimency soon after he started school." Harry began. "I managed to learn it myself from his memories and filled all his memories in my head. Sure, I discarded a few that were utterly useless like his torture sessions…." he was now a bit green in the face "but I can tell you that at the moment he can't be killed."

"Why?" Hermione asked in concern.

"The piece of soul that was in my scar isn't the only one separated from his body." Harry explained. "He used several items as vessels for his soul fragments, making them Horcruxes. As long as even one of those is around, he can't die."

"How many?" Eva asked.

"I know of five, but from the way he was thinking he probably made one more during his exile." Harry replied.

"Well, what are they? Where are they? How do we destroy them?" Daphne asked anxiously.

"Well, the diary was one and it was destroyed because of the basilisk venom." Eva grinned.

"You figured it out, huh?" Harry asked amused.

"A mere memory can't posses someone." Eva shrugged.

"Three of the other Horcruxes are relics of the founders." Harry continued. "The Cup of Hufflepuff, the Medallion of Slitherin and the Diadem of Ravenclaw."

"Do you know where they are?" Negi inquired.

In response, Harry held up his palm and a silver diadem appeared in his hand.

"The Diadem was in the place considered the safest in Britain." Harry smirked at their shocked faces.

"And the other two?" Hermione asked.

"The cup is in the second safest." Harry said with an evil smirk and he then began to cackle maniacally.

"He finally snapped, huh?" Luna said conversationally.

"Nah, he's just thinking of doing something extremely evil and his darkness is amplifying the emotion." Eva shrugged. "Happens to me all the time."

"You couldn't be more right." Harry said as he calmed down.

"So the cup is in Gringotts. What makes you so happy?" Fred asked.

"It's in Belatrix Lestrange's vault." Harry said chuckling.

"And…?" Hermione pushed.

"Voldemort made his entire inner circle give him copies their keys and he placed them into another vault. One that can only be opened by a parcelmouth." Harry smirked.

"OH GOD!" Hermione covered her mouth. "YOU'RE GOING TO ROB THEM BLIND!"

"No, no, no." Harry shook his head. "It's even better. It's entirely legal. The stupid snake made it so that any parcelmouth is allowed to gain complete access to that vault. He though he's the only one left in the world."

"But wouldn't he have changed that, now that he knows you're one as well?" Hannah asked.

"But could a mere child like Harry Potter find out about that vault, or the password. Nobody could tell me that, since only a parcelmouth would understand it." Harry said before hissing something.

"That's the password huh?" Eva raised an eyebrow.

"Pureblood Supremacy?" Hermione asked in disbelief as her ring translated. "Tsk, so predictable."

"Yes. That's Voldy alright." Harry nodded.

"What about the Medallion of Slitherin?" Daphne asked.

"It's in… um, I don't think you'll be able to hear what I say, since I'm not the secret keeper for the Order of the Phoenix." Harry said apologetically.

"Don't worry. I read Dumbledore' mind with my artifact and ripped out the page. We know about Grimauld Place." Nodoka said with a smile.

"Good. Hermione, remember that medallion that nobody could open from this summer?" Harry asked.

"Oh god! We threw it away!" Hermione said in horror.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I saw Kreatcher steal it back." Harry assured her. "He'll protect it with his life, after all, Voldemort used him to hide it initially in some cave. I don't know how it got at Grimauld Place, but it might have something to do with Regullus, Sirius's brother. Voldemort was beginning to lose his trust for him, and one day he disappeared. Voldemort didn't have him killed, and the good guys didn't kill him either."

"But Sirius said that he tried to get away from the Death Eaters and they killed him." Hermione said confused.

"We'll ask Kreatcher." Harry shrugged. "With Nodoka' artifact, he won't be able to hide a thing."

"What about the fifth Horcrux you know of?" Chao asked.

"Oh, that…" Harry chuckled and began to laugh, but this time he was practically rolling on the floor. "That one… proves… without a doubt… that Voldy… is an ignorant fool…."

"Well?" Eva asked annoyed.

"The Stone of Resurrection." Harry answered as he tried to control himself.

"WHAT?" everyone else yelled.

"Yeah. The idiot didn't even bother checking it for hidden powers. He only thinks of it as a decoration on the Ring of Peverel that has been passed down in the Slitherin line, along with the Medallion." Harry chuckled.

"Where is it hidden?" Eva asked anxiously.

"The house where his mother used to live. It's in Little Hangleton, right across from the cemetery where he regained his body." Harry answered suddenly sober at the memory of that cemetery.

"Hm, that's good to know. It seems that we're getting those books after all." Hermione said with stars in her eyes.

"Yes." Harry nodded before turning towards Eva. "And it seems that we'll have to visit the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic as well. There's a prophecy there that we desperately need to hear."

"Oh? What is it about?" Eva raised an eyebrow.

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ..." Harry said and everyone stared at him in surprise. "That's how much Snape heard before he was caught and that's what Voldemort knows as well."

"Who was it made to?" Chao asked.

"It was to Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore by Sybill Patricia Trelawney." Harry grunted.

"Damn that old man!" Hermione cursed.

"Yeah, he allowed Snape to get away, knowing that he will tell Voldemort what he had learned." Harry added.

"Harry…" Neville began in a trembling voice.

"Yeah, Neville, I know. It could have been you as well, according to what Voldemort knows." Harry nodded. "He chose to attack me because I'm a halfblood like him. There might be something else in the rest of the prophecy that says which of one has to kill the snake, but I'm pretty sure you're of the hook."

"Don't worry Harry, you know how Trelawney is." Hermione tried to calm him down.

"Doesn't matter, really. Voldemort considers me a threat and wants to get rid of me. Prophecy or not, I'm killing the snake either way" Harry shrugged. "After all the crimes I've seen him commit, he doesn't deserve to live."

"Someone once said that, I quote "Many who are alive don't deserve to live, while many who had died would have deserved to live. Can you grant them that?" end quote." Chao said.

"Well, I think that whoever said that is an irresponsible bastard." Harry deadpanned. "As long as we don't kill those that deserve it, they will kill those that don't deserve it."

"Nicely said." Chao smirked. "For the record, the one who sprouted that stuff is Dumbledore."

"Figures." everyone else groaned in frustration.

"We should be going. 'He who is as Dumb-as-a-door' will show up any minute now." Ginny suggested.

"Yep, he just Apparated in front of the gates." Fred informed.

"Fawkes didn't move from his office at all. He must be pissed at the old fart for almost letting dad die last night." George added.

"The old baka might be monitoring his wards more closely yesterday after I healed Mr. Weasley." Konoka frowned. "He was looking at me rather strangely."

"We'll go back to a second after we left" Chao said as she set the coordinates before she handed the Cassiopeias to the others.

"Let's get back to our regular time." Negi said and the large groups were off.

A.N.: Another chapter is done! Well, I think I surprised you all several times this chapter.

I remember reading something similar to the vaults thing somewhere else; I honestly don't remember what the name of that story was, but I remember it cracked me up.

Does anyone have any idea who the two new girls in Harry's harem are? Take a guess, taking in consideration what you know about the first two, as well as the previous 4 books. All I will tell you is that 'He who is as Dumb-as-a-door' meddled in Harry' life as usual.
