HP Baslisk VenomSomething that's been bugging me for a while thought I'd write it out and see what happened. Baslisk venom destroyed two of Voldemorts Horcruxes what if it had destroyed 3? JKR owns Harry Potter which is why I can poke holes in her plot like this.

As the venom of the king of serpents rushed through the veins of Harry the boy groaned as he felt a splitting headache around the area of his scar. A screeching sound erupted from near Harry and the boy dully noticed something before him explode. He had not felt pain like this since the day that Quirrel had touched him. Unknown to the boy the venom was rushing through his body had finally reach his head. The boy felt a small bit of blood dripping into his face and he dully wondered when he had gotten hit in the face as Fawkes landed on his arm and began crying into his arm. He reached up and realized that his scar was bleeding.

As Tom gloated over him Harry slowly lifted his head in defiance as he felt new energy coming into his limbs. As he lifted himself up he didn't know why but he felt stronger than before his mind and body more under control than ever before. A burst of magic spread throughout his body as various injuries from both this fight and from before seemed to vanish.

Tom snarled as he shot a spell at the Phoenix. "Healing tears," he muttered in annoyance at having forgotten that small fact about the mythical birds.

Harry cried out in anger and plunged the fang int the book of the surprised specter.

Come on Ginny lets find Ron. He told the girl. The sobbing girl nodded and soon the pair were at the rckslide and wriggling their way through.

Ron after making sure that his sister was alright turned to Harry and despite what anyone might say or think engulfed his best friend in a large hug. Thanks mate I don't know what I would have done if she hadn't made it. The boy admitted to his friend.

"Don't worry Ron it's alright now." Harry returned as he awkwardly patter his friend on the back unsure what else to do with his friend.

The other boy nodded his thanks once again. He looked his friend over for any injuries and took an odd look at his friends face." Um mate, your scar there's something different about it." The boy said as he offered his friend a cloth that Harry accepted as he wiped the rest of the blood off of his face.

"Really," Harry said in confusion, "how so?"

"I dunno, but there's something off about it." Ron said as he eyed it. "Oi Lockhart! You got a mirror on you, you miserable git?" The boy demanded of the professor. "You look at your teeth enough that I wouldn't be surprised."

The dazed man scrounged around and soon drew a small compact mirror and handed it over. Ron offered Harry the mirror and the two boys looked at the reflection of the raven haired boy and saw that there was indeed something different about the scar. It had faded away and looked like the old injury that it was.

"How?" Harry questioned in disbelief.

"You got me mate." Ron returned in equal disbelief.

Dumbledore leaned back into his chair as he considered everything that had happened tonight. His meetings with Harry and Mr. Malfoy had been very informative. Because of Slytherian's beast Harry now had a chance at a normal life no longer would he have to be used as a sacrifice. Dumbledore had never even considered trying to remove the curse scar as he knew that it would cost Harry his life. Somehow though thanks to the Phoenix tears Harry was not only alive but if the shine in his eyes was anything to go by then he was much more aware than he had been before.

This changed so many things. Now that Harry did not have to be a sacrifice to defeat Tom he could try something different now. He could teach him how to be a true wizard and how to properly use his magic and fight to win in a duel. There would still be things that Harry was not ready t hear but Harry had a chance. This meant he would also finally be able to do something about the Dursley's and the way they treated the boy. There was so much that had been given to them thanks to that one fact. Dumbledore thought as he wept in relief as he no longer had to worry about leading a boy he thought of as a grandson to their death. It may make things harder in some areas but in others it made them so much better that he actually preferred things this way.
