Chapter 15

No one saw it coming, but when Asher came back to school he pointed out that it was Professor Maxwell that put the mark on him. It was an uproar. Once it was found out that the professor was found to be working for some idea of a dark wizard. Everyone was in shock. Professor Maxwell was a teacher here for years and no one knew how evil the man was.

"I knew you weren't crazy," James told Asher. "Do you really think that there's a new dark wizard?"

"I don't know. I hope not, but I also hoped I was wrong about Professor Maxwell," Asher said.

"Well he's in askaban now. We shouldn't have to worry about him doing anything to anyone anymore," James said.

"Yeah that's true. I guess I'm just worried. What if there is another dark wizard out there? Do you think they'll come after me for ruining their plans? I mean, it's my fault Professor Maxwell is in Askaban right now. If they wanted Professor Maxwell here at school then wouldn't they want to do something to me?"

"I won't let them. Besides you spend the summer at my house so they can't get you there," James said. "Everything will be okay. Just trust me. I'm making an army, so if the school is attacked we'll be ready for it. I already have a good deal of people who want to be a part of it."

"That sounds like a good idea. When do you start?" Asher asked

"We already started. It'll be nice to get some spells that'll help. I'll give you the time and place later. I'm happy you're back at school," James said.

"Yeah I am too."

"Going to find that castle you want?" Alek asked Victor..

"Yep! It's going to be awesome. David, Jonathan, Hyo and me are going to have a nice place to live. I plan on being an Auror. David's going to be a medic. Jonathan and Hyo would still be on school. They'll have a nice home, something that they haven't bad in a long time."

"That's a good. I'm sure you'll all be happy out there," Alek said. "My family has a castle. I like living here, but it lonely. No one's around but my parents and me. It's a big outing to leave the castle."

"Well, I'll come and visit you," Victor said. "Then you won't be alone for so long."

"Thank you. I'll look foreword to it," Alek said with a smile.

"Have you heard about James' little army he's making?" Victor asked.

"I have. I don't think he understands that people die in wars. If he wants an army, then he hast to deal with he fact that people will die. He doesn't understand." Alek said.

"It's sad. If they go against a dark wizard, they're going to die. No matter how strong they get they'll never be strong enough to take out a dark wizard." Victor said.

"I know that. That's why Albus and me aren't in their little army. Albus learned a lot for the championship. He knows enough that he can get away if he needs to, That's all that maters to me. Albus isn't stupid enough to attack a dark wizard," Alek said.

"That's good. I'll be running into danger once I'm an auroer, or will be one, so I'll probably run into this dark wizard. Don't tell David or Jonathan or Hyo about this I don't want to worry them."

"You really think they won't worry about you with that position?" Alek asked.

"I know. The less they know the better," Victor said.

"Yeah, I wouldn't want Albus to know if I were doing something dangerous," Alek said.

"Hyo's dreams aren't getting any better."

"That's not good. So whatever is going to happen hasn't happened yet?"

"That's what it looks like."

"I wish his dreams were more direct. 'Something bad' is hard to go on."

"I know, but there's nothing more we can do.,"Victor said..

"I'm really worried," Alek said.

"Anyone would be worried. That's why we can't tell anyone about this. It would cause chaos and we don't want that."

Alek shook his head. "I'll protect Albus no matter what happened. I'm not afraid of anyone else getting killed. Well, besides David and them. I don't want anything to happen to them either. I'll help them if things go bad."

"Did you hear the temporary Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is?" Victor said.

"No. Who is it?"

"Harry Potter."

"Great. I'm glad he doesn't mind me dating Albus."

"That's always a good thing," Victor said. "David doesn't have a family that isn't here at Hogwarts and my parents disowned me for being a magic user."

"My parents, well I don't like talking about them," Alek said.

"That's fine. I don't really care about your parents. I still don't understand why you came to Hogwats and not Durmstang. It's closer to you and I think would be a better fit for you."

"I wanted to go Hogwarts. I didn't like being so close to my family. I wanted to be as far away from them from possible. Besides, Hogwarts is a good school."

"If you say so."

"And I met Albus here. I love Albus and can't imagine my life without him," Alek said.

"You really love him don't you?" Victor asked.

"I do. I need him. So many people were afraid of me when I started Hogwarts. Albus befriended me and I found myself liking him. When we almost lost them, I knew I needed him in my life. I love him more than anything else."

"Albu is lucky to have a boyfriend like you," Victor said. "I know the feeling. I love David more than life. I'd do anything for him."

"James doesn't like me though," Alek said with a sigh. "And I think I scare Lily."

"They'll come around when they figure out how much you love Albus," Viictor said.

"I hope so." Alek said, frowning. "James won't give me a chance bcause I'm in Slytherin. He's fine with Roxanne and Dominique, and Albus course, but he dislikes all of the rest of the people in my house."

"That's just stupid. He needs to give people chance," Victor shook his head. "I just hope he doesn't die because of his little army. I don't think Albus would handle it well if his brother died."

"Yeah but it's not like I can s top James from being a jack ass."

"I know that. From what I can tell, he's rather bull headed. I don't see him listening to reason," Victor said.

"Yeah you got that right. I just wish he understood that he's going to lead his army to their deaths. That's what happened to people in war. I'm worried James is going to have so many kids in his little army that it'll lead to more deaths. It'll be a slaughter."

"It's not like we can stop it though," Vicktor said.

"I know. I'm keeping Albus away from that nonsense. I'm not letting James do something sttupid that will get his brother killed."

"I doubt they'll go after Drumstang until they get The UK, under control. I'm going to be an aurora so I might get pulled into any war that might happen."

"I hope it's not war that that Hyo is dreaming about." Alek said. "I'm sill worried about that. What do you think his dreams mean?

"I don't know. His dreams have been more certain before. There might be something stopping him from seeing clearly," Victor said.

"Who would do that? How many people know Hyo can see into the future?" Alek said

"David, Jonathan, me, and you. I don't think anyone else knows about it."Victor said

"Then how can someone know to block his vision?"

"That's a good point. I suppose someone might have overheard us talking about it, but I don't think that's a case. I don't know how someone would want to cloud Hyo's vision. Someone wants to be unseen." Victor said.

"That makes sense, but I still don't like it . Hyo still screaming every morning?" Alek asked.

"Most days. Sometimes he get a good night's sleep, but it still doesn't look good," Victor said. "I want to help him so badly, but there's nothing I can do."

"There's only a few weeks left at school. If something it going to happen, they're running out of time. Unless they want to attack the school."Alek said.

"It would make sense for them to attack the school while there's people from all the big schools are here together."Victor said.

"That make senses," Alek said.

"I think the seventh years can help hold them off, but the best plan is getting everyone yet." Victor said. "Especially those under fifth year. They should get away as fast as possible."

"I'll do my best to get the younger kids of out of here," Alek said.

"Good. It'll be chaotic,"Victor pointed out.

"I know, but someone need to take control of the situation," Alek aid.

"As many people can save we save. I'm still hoping that Hogwarts isn't attacked," Victor said. "I don't know why they would-"

There was message going out to everyone to come to main hall. "I wondered what's going on." Alek asked

"Let's go see," Victor said. They quickly went to the Great Hall. Victor left and sat with his boyfriend and David's brother. Alek went over to Albus.

The head master came up, looking worse for wear. "The Ministry was attacked late night. We're just working on figuring out everything. Students who's' family is dead or in St. Mungo as fast as we can."

"Do you think my dad's dead?" Albus asked, clearly distraught.

"I'm sure-" Alek started.

One of prefects came over to them. " needs to come with me."

"Can I come with? I'm his boyfriend."

"Family only, sorry."

Albus looked around. All of his cousins were there. He felt his heart dropped. Someone close to them had died.

"I'm sorry to tell you all, but Ron Weasely has been killed. Harry Potter is in St. Mungo's with his injuries. He'll recover fine. He just needs his rest right now. The Potter children can come with me and see your father," the perfect told them.

"D-dad's dead. Just like that? It's not fair. Why did have to die?" Rose said, bursting into tears. She held onto Hugo and just cried. Molly went over and hugged them too.

"It's okay. He knew the risks going into that position. I'm sure he died thinking of you, about how much you mean to him. He knew he'd be protecting you." Molly said. She had tears in her own eyes.

"It's not fair. Not fair at all," Rose cried.

"C-can we go see my dad now?" Lily asked. She wished Scorpius was here with her, but they wouldn't let him come.

"Right this way," the prefect saisd.

Harry smiled weakly, seeing his kids. Ginny was already there."Mom!" Lily ran into her mother's arms. Ginny hugged Lily close.

"Shhh, it's okay. Look your dead is even awake," Ginny said.

"Dad what happened? How did Uncle Ron die?" James asked.

"I don't know. Everything was happening so fast. I should have been able to save him. Damn it all," Harry said. "It's those damn Slytherings. They grew up and now worship the new dark lord. It's all their fault Ron is dead."

"You don't know if there's a new dark lord or not," Ginny pointed out.

"They had the dark mark on them Ginny," Harry pointed out.

"I've started an army at the school, like you did when you were in school. We'll be ready if they attack Hogwarts," James said

"Do you know how many of us died in the final battle? If Hogwarts is attacked, you work on getting everyone to safely. Only fight when you have to," Harry said, wincing as he sat up.

"Don't push yourself Harry," Ginny said. "The doctors say you're lucky to be alive."

"I know. I know. I still believe there's a new dark wizard around. We have to be on out toes. I'm not losing so many friends again," Harry said.

"You shouldn't think about that right now. You have to recover before you can do anything," Ginny said.

"A lot of us are injured or dead. I have to get back up and running as fast as I can," Harry said. "They need me."

"Not if you're going to kill yourself doing that. You're no use dead. You need to take your time to recover I won't let you go off fighting some dark wizard that may or may not exist," Ginny said.

"They had the dark mark on them Ginny," Harry pointed out.

"They could just be people left over from the war that want to try again. It doesn't mean there's a new dark wizard. You fight people who try to be a dark lord, but none of them turned out to be any trouble,"Ginny said.

"Let's not talk about this in front of the kids," Harry finally said.

"Oh! Right. Don't worry about things kids. Everything will be fine," Ginny said. Lily was still crying.

James had an arm around Albus.

"A little late for that mom. A new dark wizard? It's the only thing that make sense," James said. "A random group of people wouldn't just attack the ministry. There's a dark wizard of some power attacking here. Normal wizards wouldn't be able to do this much damage."

"It's nothing you should worry about," Harry said. "I took care of Volimort and I've only gotten better at magic since then-"

"But you still ended up in the hospital,"James said.

"I wasn't ready. I mean, we won. That's all that matters," Harry said.

"Mom, can I spend the night here with you?" Lily asked.

"You're going to need to go back to school soon. You can visit your father instead of going to Hogsmeid. I'm sorry but you need to go back now."

"Please! I don't want to leave!" Lily cried. "Don't make me go."

James came over and pulled Lily from their mom. "It's okay. You can visit again soon. Okay we're ready to go back."
