Chapter 22 – Of Gods, Devils and Deities

Note: I am neither a researcher nor scholar so if I have messed up on the historical entities please just go with the flow. I have found that there is more than one story, tale or myth over the characters that I am using. Thanks.

What was going on was magical, rumor or maybe myth but yet there if was, reality or a dream.

When God asked for all angles to bow down to humanity, Lucifer refused, "These human beings are flawed" was his reply assuming he was a he or it was a she. Lucifer opened his own office, often referred to as dark and evil.

As an archangel, Lucifer is one of the most powerful beings to exist, the only beings said to be more powerful than him are God, and Death, but that is so long ago, who cares.

/Scene Break/

Lucifer sat at his throne high above the floor, Dumbledore and Tom Riddle lay there at his feet. Dumbledore is trying to get his twinkle to work and Voldemort aka Tom Riddle is trying to glue himself together wishing he had some super glue as his sole is a mess. Dumbledore suddenly notices his beard is still smoking and try's to put it out.

Lucifer laughing, "Zeus was expecting you two."

"Now which one of you two will go back and kill the boy who lived?"

"I have done that already, I killed Orion Potter…"

"Shut up fool, Harry Potter is The-Boy-Who-Lived."

"Now I guess I must decide, no I have a deal, fight it out and the winner goes back, Poseidon wants a piece of Zeus, so if the winner can do in Harry Potter, the demons can be let loose, when Zeus fails, Hades will let loose all the Hellions upon the under-world.

There again was an epic battle, Dumbledore let loose one cures and Voldemort fell to pieces; the glue was not quite dry.

So the winner is going to go back with Seraphim, normally people think of angels, but he is a serpent demon who will return with you Dumbledore." Lucifer wished him well. After Dumbledore left Lucifer had Voldemort's pieces swept up, boxed and sent express to Hades.

/Scene Break/

After all the mess, statements and making sure Hogwarts is secure, we finally got to leave on vacation. The island was still roaring with people and activities. Fleur had asked for time to match our vacation and Ragnok had approved it. So Fleur and I were off to the new super death-defying flying ride. I was happy that my other wives decided where I went they went, even though some begged off some of the rides.

We had just gotten off of a real mind bender of a ride and ran into real problems. I would have thought, as everyone in the area thought, it was part of the parks fantasy activities. What got my serious attention was that the fried Dumbledore was with something that looked like an angel didn't look right. That's when Dumbledore said something that the entity took, looked and headed for me. Alas the stupid thing had a Deatheater mentality which was to talk before killing. It hissed its words.

"I kill for Lucifer and Hades…"

I hissed back, "Do you wish to kill, who me or mine?"

It hissed back, "As I am ordered, you are dead."

Well, golly gee, I hit it with the largest lightening bolt I knew of."

The thing seemed to fold into itself and vanish with a shriek, the surrounding muggles thinking it was part of the park activities applauded. Dumbledore shrieked and let loose a curse, it was funny. His curse and him folded up and turned into a liquid and flowed down the drain on the street. The muggles thought that was the best and actually some of them gave me a tip for the performance.

/Scene Break/

"You are one of the most incompetent boobs I have ever had to deal with." Lucifer ranted. "I will send you back this time Dumbledore with Xaphan. Xaphan was one of the fallen angels who rebelled with me against 'THE' Lord. Be gone Dumbledore."

When the two were gone from Lucifer's presents someone else joined the arena, "You are trying for what? Hell or my displeasure? Death asked.

"I was just trying…"

"Enough!" Death cut off Lucifer. "This is your last attempt at the chosen one, there are higher entities that want Harry Potter to do what they want, and you are just muddying the waters, stop now or suffer the consequences."

/Scene Break/

I had just stepped off the third super death defying ride with Fleur. I was a bit dizzy and Fleur was laughing. She always had a piece of her in my brain looking around it seemed.

~"You want to take a break that was a loop the loop that I can't believe the cars stayed on the ride's tracks."

~"Knowing the elves the cars didn't, we just think they did." I answered.

~"Lets get the elves to make a picnic basket or two and head over the mountain. I'm sure we can find a quiet place to watch the grass grow."

~"That Fleur is a fabulous idea."

"Girls, Fleur just suggested a picnic out in the country, are you all interested?"

They were and we hopped on our brooms and headed out. We found a nice area of pasture land next to a small forest. Using the shade from the trees we set our blankets and the race to see what the elves had packed commenced. A few hours later we again mounted our brooms and flew into an secure area and had the elves collect the brooms. It would not be cool if all the muggles saw something that they could not relate to the park. So we walked into the edge of the park, heading to the nearest Choo-choo station.

I shook my head when I saw a fiery angle with large wings suddenly appear. Again I would have thought I was crazy but there was Dumbledore again. Fleur beat me to it; she changed and started hurling fire balls at the thing. I then started with a lightning bold. For some reason I think Fleur's fire caused the thing to fold into it self and vanish, leave behind a pile of ash. Again the public thought it was part of the parks entertainment. Fleur got all the tips this time. I made a serious mistake and lost sight of Dumdum.

"Damn where is he, you would think he would stand out like a spotted giraffe." Hermione exclaimed.

"Lets head to the cottage, the wards will keep him away until we can organize a magical search." Daphne directed and we headed to the cottage.

We boarded the little train and headed out, we made sure that no spotted giraffe were following us, but we were wrong. Dumdum was not following the rules about not letting the muggles see or hear magic. Then again what was his status, dead, limbo, or just a large pain in the bum? We were just starting to enter our wards when, "AVADA KEDAVRA!"

/Scene Break/

"Harry Potter, wake up, now!" I shook my head and opened my eyes. It was too much; a flood of scenes came from everywhere almost all at once. Dumbledore, I was going to, when I, all my wives were here and the last thing I remember is 'avada kedavra'. They all seem to be breathing; this is a good size hall. Thick white pillars lined either side of the room, all the walls and ceiling are covered in Grecian murals and my bum is killing me. We were all dumped or fell on a couch of stone.

"Come on, get them up and going, Zeus is waiting and he is not a very happy god today." Some elderly lady in a white toga was saying. I got up and started the routine of getting all of my pretties up and on their feet.

We left the hall and straight ahead was a set of stair a very long set of stairs seemingly stretching into the sky. The girls of course were a question a second and while I didn't have any answers the elderly lady did, she put her finger to her lips and the girls fell quiet. "A need to learn that spell" and got quite a few slaps to my arms and head.

"I have seen you before in something that I thought was a dream, what do we call you?"

"I am called Theia, an unhappy Theia to be made into an escort service. Now I will release you from the silencing spell, but I do not want to hear one word from you unless you are spoken to, this is between Harry Potter and Zeus." The girls all nodded and Theia waved her hand, I was awaiting Hermione's question, but not a sound was heard. Part of the reason was for an elderly lady she was in better shape for the stairs and kept a good pace. A pace that left us winded.

Finally we hit a level entrance to a giant hall, the hall had murals all round and then it hit you, twelve or more round white pillars on either side with golden lintels on top. Those lintels had white pillars reaching upward; this was repeated as far up as the eye could see. It looked like a church organ in steps into infinity. In the middle was more stairs leading to a occupied throne.

We were now stopped at the bottom of the last set of stairs that led upwards to his throne which was a surprise. Oh it was large and had carvings and figures on either side of a straight back golden chair, even the arm rests were plain and there was no padding to be seen. Dumbledore's chair in the great hall was more ornate and gaudy; this was just not what one would expect.

Zeus had a full beard and the staff in his left hand that must have been seven feet in length. By or in his right hand was something, at first I thought it was a golden eagle. Then it changed into a two foot high female in a toga, she had wings, it seemed to be slowly changing back and forth but from the bottom of the stairs it was hard to tell.

His voice filled the room, "So the mortal Harry Potter returns again, you are indeed becoming a problem."

It's never too soon or too late but it was bound to happen and a mad Hermione just yells at him a question, one of probably many, "Who do you think you are, just because…"

Zeus started laughing. "I see you have been gifted with at least one of her type." And then he really let loose laughing when Susan and Daphne grabbed Hermione and Hannah put her hand over her mouth.

"Theia has not been happy, as a seer she sees the future and we are trying to keep Poseidon from causing me and your people troubles. You were the solution until Lucifer, how do you mortals say? 'plucked a rose' in the pudding."

~" Old saying means to "have a wee".

~"Thanks Fleur."

"You have already seen two of the many things they can get Hades to release. The higher-ups have put a leash on Lucifer for the moment but now we must send you back, the problem is when to return you."

"Zeus the continuum lines show that if we send them back just before the fight with the second angel they have a 93% chance of surviving Dumbledore. Further even after all the shifting we will win if they go back and survive Dumbledore. Their real battle for them will be years afterwards."

"Great that's what we will do immediately, I for one am not interested in this group going to Asgard or Valhalla, we have enough troubles without upsetting Odin just yet, bye mortals.

"Alright, let's fall back."

Squeaky!" POP

"Yes Master Harry"

"Mad man in park, pop us to the cottage!" POP

"Thank you Squeaky you're a life saver."

Largo!" POP

"Alert security Dumbledore is in the park, he gone mad and is using A-Ks. Also warn all the elves in the park, Dumdum is dangerous."

"Yes Master Harry." POP

"I need a drink!" POP
