Druids
OoP 1
Harry, Hermione, Devon, Ron and Ginny got off the train at kings cross station and embraced there loved ones. As Harry and Devon headed home with Sirius to 12 Grimmauld place
When they arrived Harry carrying his trunk nearly tripped over the giants foot umbrella stand but found an owl sitting on the kitchen table
"Um Sirius?" Harry asked as his godfather entered
"Yea pup?" He asked as he spotted the owl he sighed
"Ah not again stupid ministry I can't time to my own godson." He said as he ripped the letter out of the owls hand.
Or tried to but the owl bit him making him recoil
"Ow! You stupid lump of feathers give me the letter!" He snapped
"Sirius it's not for you." Devon said as he arrrived inside
Sirius looked up and back at the letter
"Oh…alright fare enough." He said as Devon stepped forward and the owl handed the letter to him carefully
Devon read it and nodded "I'll be on my way old friend safe travels." The owl hooted and flew off
"What's up?" Sirius asked as he watched as Devon aged in a matter of minutes
"The council wants an update on The news of Voldemort. I fear they felt the shift of magic as I did when…well when Voldemort came back."
"Wait you felt a shift of magick?" Harry asked
"Most Likely everyone felt it but those more connected to magick like us pagans felt it more did you feel anything?" He asked Harry
Harry shrugged "I might've but I don't know I was too focused on not dying at that exact moment." He said
Before Harry paused
"Ginny just informed me I did feel it because she felt it when it happened I just was too focused to notice it." Harry said
Devon nodded
"In any news I'm afraid I must go inform the Druids of the update. Perhaps if I'm lucky I can get them out of isolation." He said
Harry nodded "good luck Devon."
Devon nodded "thank you Harry. May I borrow your floo Mr Black?" Devon asked
Sirius waved to the fireplace "by all means go ahead."
Devon nodded and vanished
Sirius sat down at the table and sighed
"Now that that is out of the way we can talk about other stuff. stuff that is by far more important."
More important than Voldemort?" Harry asked
Sirius nodded coldly
"What is it?" Harry asked excitedly wondering if it was a new form of training to put into action or a new spell he could learn.
"Your inheritance." Sirius said as he dropped a heavy metal chest looking like of bronze looking like the color of dark wood.
Harry was dumbfounded
"My…my inheritance?" He asked
Sirius nodded "yes Harry. You didn't honestly think your father and mother just left for you a few nicknacks and a large pile of money did you? No no no! James and Lilly were much better than that." Sirius reached down and pulled out a slip of parchment "Now I have quiet a few things to share with you granted most of this stuff was meant to be given to you earlier but I happened to be in prison at the time so I as the one who was meant to safeguard it and the only one who knew the location of it. Was unable to. So I have these handy dandy notes here so we can begin." He said
"We will start at the beginning and work out way up. Starting at the beginning of age one/ at the time of James death is the cloak of invisibility. You have that." He said Harry nodded as Sirius nodded and moved onto the next item.
"Number two or when Harry comes to the age of five or six is the Potters watch." Sirius reached under the table and into the chest and pulled out a golden pocket watch with the fancy pattern on it with an emblazoned letter P in a shield attached to a golden chain
"This was a remarkable time piece commissioned in the early 1800's by one of your forefathers." Sirius read off the parchment explaining the watch. "I assume you know of Molly's family clock in her kitchen right?" Sirius asked
Harry nodded
"Works on the same principle however it's keyed to the owner only and immediate family to activate it as an immediate family you need to be of Potter. As there is an old blood charm that is used to key into that thing. Much like the blood wards that use to surround the Dursley's home." he said before reading off the notes again "To key into the Watch the face and press your thumb on the crack of the glass and slide dropping a drip of blood in for it to test your blood as a Potter, if it accepts you as apart of the bloodline the face will heal and your immediate family will show as hands on the clock." He said as he looked up at Harry's reaction
Harry smiled as he did as he Pocket watch asked and slid his thumb on the glass face.
The glass healed and two hands appeared, one for Harry and one of Ginny.
Sirius smiled "good that's good." And the hand of Ginny proves the soul bond and marriage between the two.
before he kept reading
"To add someone in your family not already there like a son or something repeat the process with them in your presence using there blood." He said
Harry slid the pocket watch across the table towards Sirius
He looked up seeing the pocket watch stop before him.
"Harry, What are you?"
Harry smiled
"You're my godfather." He responded
"Harry, I don't think the watch works on someone who isn't in the immediate family." Sirius said
"Only one way to find out." Harry said
Sirius sighed are you sure Harry I don't wanna break it." He said
Harry smiled "I have faith padfoot." He said
Sirius sighed as he opened the face and found the face cracked with a gulp of fear he slid his thumb across
The crack didn't heal but in the glass Sirius could read the words "please return this back to the potter now.
Sirius handed it to Harry who took it and read what the watch was writing
"You are about to key in one Sirius Orion Black the 3rd into the Potter Watch are you sure you want to proceed doing so will forever key in both the families of Black and Potter together."
Sirius gulped
As Harry closed the watch face.
"I forever key in Sirius Orion Black the third to the Potter watch." Harry said
Harry opened the watch and he now found three hands in the watch Himself, Ginny and Sirius.
"…Now then." Sirius gasped getting back on track as he put the letter aside as he reacted down for the next present and his notes
"Gift 3 is for when Harry comes to the age of 9 or whenever his magical family deem him worthy of it. Prior to his entry to Hogwarts. Is the textbooks of James and Lily Potter. And magickal notes they contain." Sirius said
"My fathers and mothers textbooks?" Harry asked in almost reverence
Sirius nodded "yes Harry. What you probably don't know is much of the spells that are old lost magick's take a lot of preparations many of them are forgotten because they have pagan roots in them. The Potters as far as I can tell while always being respectable in wizarding culture have also always been pagans thus have more connections to older magick's than newer ones." Sirius said
"So your saying that in here could be notes of old pagan magick's thought lost?" Harry asked
Sirius shook his head "no Harry these are notes that your mother and father took when they were in school however at least from James they are written from a pagan perspective. One that." Sirius leaned back and started to smile "one that used to get your father into so much trouble when he was younger. I remember one charms class with Flitwick we were doing the levitation spell and your father was doing Accio. Which made the teacher mad when your father explained "Well both spells do the exact same thing just that one is used for moving away from you and one is coming towards you." That gave your fathers a day of detention. However much to our surprise it wasn't so Flitwick could bash on James but prase him. Still the school nor his mother saw it that way only his own father your grandfather did." Anyways these notes are important as they can help connect the training Devon and I are giving you to the training your getting in school. There are all 7 years in here so use these notes well." Sirius said
Harry nodded as Sirius gave Harry book after book after book after book. Each one having just as many loose leaf pages in them as the actual text itself.
"Those are James notes. And these are all Lilly's.
Now Lilly's are incomplete as she only started to retroactively rewrite her notes after she and James got married but when she did she almost broke the laws of magick herself." He looked at Harry with a deep smile "some would say her greatest spell broke the natural order of magick." He said
Harry sat deeply in thought and slowly pointed to himself
Sirius nodded as Harry felt tears in his eyes. As he held his mothers notes "thank you both."
Sirius smiled "they are very proud."
He looked back to his notes and began to read the list.
"Now these are the things that you were to be given after your first year of School at Hogwarts:
One was a Candle and Wax sealing set.
Two was a small cloth used for an alter for pagan spellcrafting.
Three was a set of amulets and rings used for ceremonial magick casting as well as minor protection.
Four was a book of shadows… book of shadows passed down from Potter to Potter holding Eons of pagan history and spells." I don't…I don't think I have that." Sirius said as he looked into the box again.
Sirius pulled out the other three items on the list. The candle and wax set was a pewter spoon and a set of small 2" candles one in each color as well as a Wax stamp with the Potter seal.
The alter cloth was a Rich red with the Potter P in all 4 corners and a pentagram in the middle.
And the set of amulets and rings were all small and simple but Harry understood the power in them.
Sirius sighed "crap I'm sorry Harry I have no idea where the Potter Grimoire went." He said
Harry smiled "it's ok Padfoot we'll find it."
Sirius nodded
"The last one for now is to be given you right now actually. And it's the key to your official Potter Vault. Which will be where your final money will rest. Along with additional items we were not able to give Sirius for safe keeping." Sirius read.
Harry looked up in shock as Sirius drew from the chest a Immaculate untarnished golden key with the Potter P on it.
"I'll let you bring the stuff up to your room and then if you want we can go to Diagon alley to check out your new vault." Sirius said
Harry nodded as he grabbed the gifts he was given and ran up the stairs.
Sirius smiled as he watched him go.
With Devon he flooed into the Monastary and exited into the woods where the Druids were holding council.
Devon entered the Druid council. Where several other traveling Druids were giving their reports to the Arch-Druid.
The last one went and bowed before he joined the crowd.
"Thank you Druid Daniel it appears our final member has just arrived Druid Devon please present your report." The arch Druid said
Devon stepped forward "my elders. My apologies for this. But my report brings grave news. The Dark Lord Voldemort has indeed risen again." He said
The Druids were talking to each other one stood up and pointed to another "I KNEW IT I KNEW IT PAY UP ELDER FULKEN!" Another said
The other Druid laughed "yeah yeah take my life savings already." He said as he tossed a bag to the other elder.
"Are you serious right now this is important!" Devon snapped
The arch Druid clapped making everyone freeze
"Indeed this is important news Devon. If we've hadn't known about it already." He said
Devon froze "known…wait…oh right of course the power shift." He said
The arch Druid shook his head "No the power shift was just confirmation we needed. Devon I mentioned to you before about the fact that the Druids are in charge of running the hall of prophecies in the ministry right?" The arch Druid said
Devon gasped "you mean?" He asked
The arch Druid nodded "yes…we knew of the fate of lord Voldemort from the very beginning. And Mr. Potter."
"It's why we sent our very best to safeguard him." Elder Fulken said
"And he has done a marvelous job." Another elder said
"Now it's time for him to grow into his own." The arch Druid said
"And so we can stand with him in the end?" Devon asked
The elders looked at each other.
"No…the Druids will not stand with Mr Potter. We will hold our course as we have for the last war. We are the protectors of nature and magick and while others try to pull it apart we maintain, to keep it together. We cannot do this by fighting."
Devon stood up "but Voldemort had already declared war on by the end of the last war! My mother was the one bearing that message! Heck our monastery our kingdom of trees use to flowing everywhere now it is but a shell of its former self." Devon ranted
"Getting intertwined in conflict is not the Druid way we are sent to mediate conflicts ends not keep them raging. We are advisors." An elder said
"And standing by the sidelines is the same thing as accepting evil!" Devon snapped
The Elder stood up pulling himself up on his staff
"Druid Devon you are crossing the line between our order and your role of advisor ."
"That are my friend and I will defend them!"
"You will do so alone and Abandon your path of Druid!"
"At least I will be human!" Devon snapped
"Enough!" The Arch-Druid snapped
"Settle down Elder Fernweh. You both hold many good points in your argument. I don't think the path is as cold as you define it." The arch Druid said
Elder Fernweh spat "Your just buttering him up! As he makes a mockery of our history." He said as he stomped off
The other elders watched him go. As the arch Druid looked at them
"Anyone who Shares Elders Fernweh's belief may follow him."
No one moved although some stood up before sitting back down
The arch Druid nodded as he turned to Devon who was sitting on the ground looking as if he as struck his entire world was rocked
"Is he right?" Am I just making a mockery of our history?" He asked
The arch Druid smiled "No. Elder Fernweh's belief stem from a jealousy long ago. As he watched both yourself and your father climb to the rank of Druid much faster than anyone else."
"He believes in what you say is right but is blinded by fact you are the one who said it." The elder Fulken said
"Agreed, in a few days he will proclaim the exact same words you have with just as much further." Another elder said
"So about Mr Potter?" Devon asked
"It is yet to be decided. We will not interfere with indefinite proof. But we don't need to as you stand with him." The arch Druid said
"Bring Mr Potter to us. And we will see if he's worthy." Then we will decide what we will do." He said
Devon nodded "thank you Elders. I take my leave." Devon said as he vanished
The arch Druid sighed as the other elders spoke
"Elder Fernweh's is right though. If we interfere with this war we will never be able to go back to the peaceful Druids we use to be." Elder Fulken said
"We've reached the end of what we can do from the shadows. I say we're ready for us to return." The elder who bet against Fulken said
"It's not whether or not we are ready…it's whether or not the World is." The Arch Druid said he sighed
"Tell those across the world their plans and orders have changed. Begin active recruiting once more. I have a feeling this war will change the fate of the wizarding world as we know it." He said
"Even in America sir?" Elder Fulken asked
"The entire world." The Arch-Druid said.
Devon arrived at the monastery and found Elder Fernweh waiting for him
"Devon." The elder called
Devon spun around "Elder Fernweh sir."
The old man waved him
"Please stay a bit, let me speak to you." He said
Devon nodded
The two sat at a small table.
"Listen… I…I don't have the best way to describe this. I don't hate you. But I don't like you. But this, doesn't stem from the feeling of malice. No it's…when I was younger I was much like you. Had the same dreams and passions. But I grew old and callous. And your father came into our monastery and I changed. It took this conversation to reveal that…I hate myself. I've lost my way. Therefore tomorrow I will speak to the Elders and tell of my honest opinion. And then I will step down from the council. And rebuke my rite as a Druid."
Devon was shocked "are…are you sure?" He asked
Elder Fernweh nodded "I am." He clapped Devon on the shoulder "Listen Devon. You've been the Druid I wish I could've been. Keep going, never stop. Don't grow old and be like me." He said as he walked away
"Thank you Elder Fernweh." Devon said
The elder turned "Call me Fern…I'm not an Elder anymore Devon." He said as he flashed a smile at Devon something Devon had never seen on his face before. As he left.
Devon stayed the night feeling it was something to do to watch the elder off. He didn't know if he would resent him for watching him in his "moment of weakness." But he stayed
Devon watched from His old seat as he gave his speech to defend Devon's statement of joining the wizards to fight off Voldemort. Which was given a standing innovation.
And then after declaring his leaving of the Druid order he was set off.
No one watched him go.
No one but Devon
Fernweh sighed "you know you don't have to do this." He said
Devon nodded
"I know…but I want to." Devon said
Fernweh sighed "after all I've done to oppose you and your still a good person to see me off." He said
"It's the Druid way." Devon said
"No…it's the human way." Fernweh said as they walked the path to the edge of the monastery.
"You know I always had a final quip I'd say when I felt it was my time to leave, I knew I wasn't going to stay here forever. But now that it's my time…it's unimportant now." He turned to Devon
"Good luck Devon." He said
Devon smiled a slight tear falling down his face as he made his way off into the sunset.
Devon waited until Fernweh was out of sight before he turned and headed back inside.
In the Arch Druids office he watched as Devon headed back
He turned to look at his desk and opened a drawer and inside was a leather bound book with paper on it.
The Arch-Druid looked at the paper once again and read it
'Dear firend.
Over the years I've come across strange cases of magic being in possession of those who are deemed unworthy of it. Normally I would take such artificias and give them to who would be worthy However I too find myself unworthy of this book. And that brings fear to me. Normally I'd send this off to ICW or Ministry of Magic However I have a fear if I did this it would just end up in the hands I'd just taken it from. So I ask if you to do me a favor and keep it safe and hidden until my time arrives for me to retrieve it.
Ps the chest holds several dark artifacts as well please do not open it for fear of the seal around the box being broken.
Your old friend -A
The Arch Druid sighed as he laid the paper on his deck and picked up the book
When he immediately touched it he felt the immense power the book held inside. And he understood why his secret pen pal was disturbed by It.
He flipped the book over and saw it to be a leather book with a shield on the front. And the family crest of a long and old family. One he recognized instantly
He looked at the spine and confirmed his suspicion's
On the spine of the book in gold lettering was the letter P.
The Arch Druid sighed and he looked at the letter again and pulled the drawer out to reveal a a small chest with a matching letter P on it
"You meddlesome fool." He said shaking his head.
The arch Druid stood up trying to get in contact with Devon before he left.
But he was too late as he headed back to Grimmauld place later that day.
The day after Harry got his inheritance from Sirius Both Sirius and Harry looked all around the Potter Grimoire but had no such luck.
Harry and Sirius went to Diagon Alley to check Harry's official Vault thinking it might have been hidden there.
As they entered gringotts the goblins looked up at Sirius and Harry with a sneer. "That can I do for you Mr Black?" The goblin teller said
"We're actually here for Mr Potter actually." Sirius said
"Key please." He goblin said
As Harry reached to give him the new key Sirius stopped him by grabbing the hand
"The vault as it happens has been sealed until Harry has come of age. A minor inheritance of a sort." Sirius said
The goblin nodded
"I'll need the Number and we can head down to unlock it." He said
Harry looked at Sirius in confusion
"We'll go on, what's the number?" He asked Harry
Harry looked up confused and said
"Um…number 4…" he said
The teller who was scratching another letter with a quill stopped.
All the other tellers did the same
The goblin looked up "may I check the key for validation?"
Harry nodded and handed the key to the goblin who flicked its head and it rung deeply
"Definitely goblin made… but I don't see a goblin maker's mark on it." He said
After a bit he has another goblin come to check with him and found the mark on the key pins which could only be viewed if they were glanced at the right way as they were broken up by the tines of the key.
"It's legitimate. Follow me and we will unlock the vault." He said as he hoped down and the other teller took his place as behind him a figure in a black hood approached the teller.
Sirius and Harry rode down to the bottom vaults past the dragon near the Lestrange vault. And even deeper
"I must say Mr Potter it is very surprising to have these vaults be in use." He said
"Why are these the vaults that held the founders of Hogwarts?" Harry asked
The goblin shook his head no those were back near the dragon. No, these vaults are more significant. As these are the vaults that we goblins use for our Wealth." He said
Harry and Sirius were stunned
"I see…and excuse me but what is your name?"
"Feldspar." He said
Harry nodded "thank you Feldspar." He said
Sirius and the goblin looked back at Harry in shock as he looked between the two
"W-what?!" He asked
"Harry that was gobbledygook there have never been wizards able to learn it." Sirius said
"On the contrary Mr black. There are a few families that have the ability of gobbledygook. It's a magick language and thus stays in the family. But it is hard to learn. The only way to Learn it is by being a friend of the goblins. I believe we've discovered exactly why you have one of these Vaults Mr Potter." The goblin said as they made it to the end of the track
"Here we are." He said as Harry and Sirius got out.
"Now understand. We keep our gold and Wealth that you wizards believe above. Here we reveal what us Goblin's believe as wealth." He said as he slid the key in the hold
Sirius leaned to Harry "what he's basically saying is don't be offended or he will revoke your status as a goblin friend." He said
Feldspar smiled as he opened the door.
Harry looked past the door and saw the contents of the vault
He found the vault to be very underwhelming; he tried not to show it but the walls were quite plain and made of solid rock. In the middle was a bookstand. An empty book stand.
Off to the side were several wooden 4x4 beams made of solid Oak, Mehogany. and other Woods but there wasn't much as it had seemed to only be a pile of 20.
Harry turned to Feldspar trying not to look offended but as he looked he saw Feldspar was confused just as much as he was.
"I…um…assume this isn't what's supposed to be in here?" Harry asked
Feldspar looked livid and turned to Harry who stepped back in fear
As the goblin stomped over and slammed a button on the cart suddenly a alarm went off in the caves
"That's the alarm." Sirius said
"Is everything alright Feldspar?" Harry asked
"No Mr Potter it is not! Normal wizards have no access to these vaults but we have access all the time to check for stores and Wealth of the nation. And we check them every five years. Except if it has been sealed and five years ago it was not this empty."
"Are you saying someone has stolen from my Godson?" Sirius asked
Feldspar shook his head "no…it's much worse than that Someone has stolen from the goblin nation! And we will get back what was lost." He said as he turned to Harry
"My sincerest apologies Mr. Potter we will head back to the surface now and I will pull the records out of the inventory of the vault and we will begin an investigation immediately. To return your wealth to you at once. If not we will compensate you for what you have lost on our own. I hope this is acceptable." He said
Harry bowed "it indeed in Feldspar." Unaware he was speaking goblin.
Sirius shivered "Harry you've gotta stop speaking Gobbledygook it's rather freaky." He said
Harry shrugged "sorry it just comes out naturally I don't mean to." Harry said
Feldspar turned "do you really not know your speaking gobbledygook?" He asked
Harry nodded "to me it's just English." He said
Feldspar turned "interesting. Climb in and we will make our way to the surface." He said
Harry and Sirius climbed in and made there way to the bank where when they entered there was a goblin wearing a suit and a crown barking at the tellers
"Who triggered the alarm?!"
"I did Director Ragknot." Feldspar said
The director turned around
"And what is the meaning of it?" He asked
"Someone has completely emptied the wealth located in Vault 4 and it has been sealed for nearly 15 years."
"Stolen stolen from the goblin nation? Who owns the contents of vault 4?!"
"That would be mr potter sir we were just about to check the records as to where the wealth had gone."
"You have my full support in this investigation." The director said as he turned to Harry. "And my apologies. Mr potter." He bowed
"You are not at fault, Director, I just wish to know where it went and who and that they are adequately punished." Harry said
The director nodded and walked off
Soon after the alarm stopped as Sirius complimented him for handling the goblin's Harry shrugged saying it wasn't his first time he saw goblin dealings.
Feldspar led Harry and Sirius to his office in the back and another goblin approached him saying " the records of vault. 4 are on your desk."
Feldspar nodded "very well scowl the rest of the vaults to make sure nothing else was stolen." He said as Harry and Sirius sat down
"I will pull up the recent records before the vault was sealed. We will get an estimation as to what you were entitled to as a mini inheritance." He said
As he read the records his eyes got larger and larger. And more baffled "Mr Potter, a true friend of the goblin nation indeed." He said
"Can we get a list?" Sirius asked
Feldspar nodded "of course." As he snapped me two more copies appered
Harry looked at it and read

Harry and Sirius looked at each other much of the contents of the vault didn't matter.
But what did was stuff they knew they didn't see in the vault.
The books.
Harry turned
"Feldspar. Can you search the records and see where the Potter family heirlooms are specifically the Potter Grimoire as well as the deeds and keys." Sirius said
Feldspar nodded and pulled out the record for the five year checkup after it was sealed before closing it and moving on
Finally he looked up
"It appears that during the time of 1989 was when the deeds and books vanished from the records."
Sirius slammed his fist on the table
"We will find them Mr black. The Potter family have been a very Respectable Pagan family for Decades now. And the thief of any pagan family. Is one that is drastic." He said
Harry stood up
"Thank you for your time, please keep us updated on the investigation." Harry said as he left.
Sirius followed
"Drat!" He cursed as they left and made there way to the Leaky Cauldron
"It's fine Sirius I'm sure we will find it." Harry said
"It's not only that Harry but those deeds that were in the vault were deeds that were to go to you in your true inheritance. Basically when you came of age those would be your but if we don't have it.
"I won't have anywhere to go."
Not only that but the stolen Vault key means that your locked out of your mothers and father actual money. Meaning when you turn 17 if you don't have a job you will be pennyless." Sirius said
"Wait what?!" Harry gasped
"Yeah it's bad. But don't worry the goblins will deal with this." Let's just get home and relax." Sirius said as they flooed away.
Back at 12 Grimmauld place Devon sat on the couch and relaxed
As Sirius and Harry stepped out of the fireplace devon stood up
"Hey Harry how are you?"
Harry said nothing before he looked to Sirius and walked up stairs devon was concerned as Harry never brushed him off like that before
"Did I say something wrong?" He asked
Sirius shook his head "no it's just… well we've gotten some bad news. Much of the Potter inheritance I was meant to give Harry has apparently been stolen." Sirius said
Devon sat up "stolen? What was it?" He asked
"Oh a few rare potion ingredients. A bunch of metals and lumber for goblin currency. As well as the Potter family Grimoire. The deeds to all the Potter land plots. Potter library. And Pagan library, including the key. As well as the keys to James and Lily's Vault's" Sirius said
Devon looked vivid "yep that would do it." He said
"Fortunately the vault this was all located in wasn't a wizarding Vault but a goblin one so the goblins are taking the hunt for the vault thief seriously."
Devon nodded " how is Harry taking It?"
Sirius just motioned to the stairs
Devon nodded "right well I say we give him a bit of time and tomorrow we can find ways to destract him.
In his room Harry looked at the Potter watch as he watched the face
And the hands tick by the time.
'Harry,' a voice said in his head
'Ginny' Harry gasped and sat feeling better
'Hey Mr moody wanna tell me what's wrong? And don't say nothing I just snapped at mum after she asked what I wanted for supper." Ginny said
Harry sighed 'sorry Ginny…I just found out I had parts of my inheritance stolen including a ton of pagan books.' Harry said
There was a pause 'I'd be pissed to.' She said
Harry nodded 'I'll let you go so you can apologize to your mum when you come back I'll explain more.' Harry said
Ginny nodded and vanished
Harry sighed
He got off the bed he pocketed the Potter watch and grabbed his inheritance he had received. The rings. The amulets. The alter cloth and wax set.
He preformed a small spell for locating lost things in a sigil before he casted it with a wax seal. And hid it under the floorboards
There was a knock on his door
"Come in." Harry said
Devon opened the door
"If your going to cast a sigil spell you shouldn't leave it under the bed like that know there are spots in here that would fit perfectly for that to hide a sigil and keep it safe." Devon said
Harry nodded and retrieved it and finally they found a spot behind a painting Sirius had hung up for Harry. To decorate the room and to break up the wallpaper.
Harry sighed and he hoped the spell worked as he and Devon went down for dinner.
Voldemort was having a hard time. Due to His Allie's having to keep up the facade of them still at the ministry. Voldemort had very little faces to talk to. He also was trying to figure out a way to beat Harry.
Voldemort growled as he tossed a book aside which landed close to Nigini as Voldemort summoned another book to his hand.
"Argh not one here either! WORMTAIL WORMTAIL!" Voldemort barked
Peter arrive by the door
"Y-yes my master?" He asked
"Find a way into Malfoys personal library and bring out all of the oldest texts you can find."
Peter nodded and scurried away
Nigini watched Peter flee and hissed
"No Nigini you can't have him… not yet…but once he fails a mission for me then you can feast." He said
Nigini nodded
Voldemort sighed "I need to find a way to defeat Potter. There must be a way. Wait. The prophecy." Voldemort said as he began to think about how he could retrieve the prophecy that could hold the fate of the war in his hands.
Back at Grimmauld place it has been 3 weeks of summer break and Harry and Devon were working on there summer homework. As Sirius had gone to work for the day.
Suddenly an owl flew in and landed in front of Devon
Devon read the message and sighed
"Harry I mentioned before that the Druids have decided not to follow you until they judge you right?" Devon asked
Harry nodded
"Well apparently they are summoning you now. Get your stuff ready." He said
"But what about Sirius?" Harry asked
"I'll inform him where we have gone. Just get ready they don't like us to be late." Devon said
Harry arrived by the fireplace soon after. And Devon tossed some powder into the fireplace and the two left.
In Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts Albus was looking over stuff for next year trying to figure out who could be the next Defense against the dark arts teacher.
Amelia bones had begun working on the vote of no confidence. But fudge was repealing all the votes he could. And sooner or later Albus might be forced to accept who the ministry provided as a teacher.
No, he had Devon for that. Still he didn't want to risk using him now and have something horrible happen to him.
Dumbledore huffed this was an unwinnable situation. He sighed when suddenly the tracers for Harry showd him to be in transit
'But that can't be where is he going? He was told to stay in the house."
Albus watched as the magic trace ended in Scottland. Which confused Albus more.
He discreetly summoned the Order of the Phoenix and a meeting to be organized within the week and if Harry had not returned to Grimmauld place by that time a manhunt would start for him.
Albus went back to thinking about the school year. But his mind was plagued by Potter. And how he had done his best for him. And the wizarding world. Including hide his family Grimoire. And deeds
Harry didn't need them. He would be better growing up on the backs of the working class like he did and as for the spells many of them were dangerous and not fit for Harry.
Although with Devon around he might actually learn them anyway.
With the terrible decision made Albus made the call to make Devon Oakland the 1996 Defense against the Dark arts teacher.
Harry and Devon arrived at the monestary. And Devon lead Harry around
"Be careful and walk lightly." Devon said as he lead them out.
Outside in the forest Harry looked stunned at grove
"Ah Mr Oakland, Mr. Potter thanks you for joining us." The Arch Druid said as the rest of the council looked at them
Devon bowed as did Harry
"Now before we get started I'd like to have a few words with Mr. Potter and Oakland alone please." The Arch Druid said as he stood up and walked past the two.
"Come." He said
The two followed and finally reached The Arch Druids office.
"Please sit Mr Potter." He said
Harry did so as Devon stood against the wall.
"Tea?" The Arch Druid asked
Harry shook his head
Devon also said no
"You have no idea exactly how good a nice cup of tea would do for you." He said as he took a sip before sighing.
I'll cut the pleasantries I'm sure Devon has informed you on why you've been called officially to us right?" He said
Harry nodded
The Arch Druid nodded
"Very good however there is more to it than that as of recently I've gotten a letter and a few items from an old acquaintance of mine. Someone who I turn to to keep me informed of what is going on in the wizarding world.
However in time he has sent me items that he feared to be put in the wrong hands. I however am not as skeptical as he is. And as such I've taken it upon myself to return them to the rightful owners." He said
The Arch Druid reached into his desk and pulled out a leather bound tome and dropped it on the desk revealing the Potter crest on the leather
Harry Gasped
The Arch Druid looked at Harry
"I assume you know the significance of this." He said
Harry nodded "yeah this my Elder was originally placed in my Gringotts inheritance vault for when I got out of school last year. It was thought to be lost. Along with much of everything else."
The Arch Druid leaned forward "do you know what this is?" He asked carefully
Harry nodded "it's the Potters family Grimoire."
The Arch Druid nodded his smile gone.
"Then I return what it rightfully yours if you can prove it is what you say it is." He said
Harry took the book and suddenly felt a wave of magick flood into him as he opened the book.
Seeing as Harry was able to open the door, the arch Druid felt confident that the rest of the stuff was Harry's as well as he pulled out the chest from the drawer,
"This I was told holds an old cursed artifact in it, but seeing as your able to open the book with the same Symbol on it I'm started to disbelief that claim, and I therefore give it to you."
Harry looked at the chest and opened it
Harry gasped in inside were several rolled up scrolls
He pulled out the first one and several keys fell out,
All the lost keys that they were looking for.
Harry looked at the scrolls and realized they were the lost deeds from the Potter vault. He looked up at the arch Druid.
" thank you I had started to believe that this information was lost." Harry said
The Arch Druid nodded. "Your welcome Mr. Potter please I will let you take your time to look over your recovered inheritance. Tomorrow we will have the meeting with the rest of the council." He said
Harry nodded and left
Devon pushed himself off the wall "I wonder how we got the Potter family Grimoire." Devon asked
"Don't trust Dumbledore," the arch Druid said.
Devon sighed and nodded. As he too left,
That night Harry read the Grimoire and got past the warnings. Of dangerous magick that were inside here. Fortunately all those spells were coded so unless he figured out the code there was no way to learn them.
Fortunately there were other perfectly useable combat spells not hidden by code for Harry to learn.
The next day Harry was woken up by Devon who told Harry this was the big day he had to give his absolute best impression or the Druids might not side with him.
Harry nodded and after a deep breath stepped into the sacred grove
Immediately Harry was flooded by emotions happiness lost love. A sense of longing, A sense of home. At that point nothing mattered any more no council. No war of Voldemort. Nothing. He had his grove.
The council watched as Harry paused and looked around many of them were confused as Harry just stood there looking at everything
The Arch Druid just smiled
Devon had been right.
Harry wasn't even sure he was running on his own actions anymore as he knelt on the grass and started to fan his fingers through it a childlike smile filled his face.
Devon watched the events happening like Harry had lost his mind.
"What the hell is he doing?" He mouthed to himself.
Finally the arch Druid spoke .
"Welcome home…Mr. Potter."
Harry looked up and with a voice enhanced by magick said "it's good to be back."
The council looked at each other and as one they stood up
"We have come to a verdict! Mr. Potter the Druids stand with you in the defense of the magickal world!"
Harry nodded and bowed with extreme respect "thank you for your time." He said as he walked away.
The arch Druid smiled
"No Mr Potter. Thank you." He said
Harry and Devon flooed back to 12 Grimmauld place. And found that the place was a lot more lively than normal
The Weasley's were theresay for Percy. Hermione was there. The order was there. Heck Lupin was there who for the longest time had been traveling Scotland for work on the second larger Marauders map.
Harry entered and was shocked at all the people as he entered the kitchen
"Well hello I'm glad someone mentioned to me there was a party." Harry said
"Harry?!" Ginny cried as she threw herself into her husband's arms
"Settle down everyone the missing person has been found." Sirius said
"Missing persons?" Harry asked
"Dumbledore had it in his brain that you had been kidnapped and was going to begin to summon a man hunt for you." He said as he looked at the box under Harry's arm
"What's that?" He asked
"The rest." Harry responsed
Sirius bent down excited "you found it?!" He asked
Harry nodded "everything but the non perishable." Harry said
Sirius smiled
"Those can be replaced easily." He said
Harry nodded "yeah…excuse me I'm going to put this stuff away." Harry said as he headed up the stairs.
Tonks watched him leave and then addressed the table
"So what was it?" She asked
"Harry's lost inheritance he hadn't been given yet due to unforeseen consequences." Sirius said
Molly cheered "Well at least he has that now." She said as she cupped Ginny's cheek.
Harry came down and spoke aloud "so why is everyone here anyway? I mean don't get me wrong it's great to have you here it's just…a suprise." Harry said
"I'm afraid that is my fault Harry." Albus said from the doorway he just walked into
"I might have overreacted at the sight of you being lost and I assumed the worst." He said
Suddenly the Weasley twins apprated next to Dumbledore and put an elbow on each of his shoulders
"We didn't fear a thing didn't we George?" Fred asked
"Quiet right Fred after all our Harry here." George started
"So Ginny tells us." Fred said
"Kicked Voldieshorts arse so bad he ran away from Harry." The twins finished before apprating
Molly exploded "FRED AND GEORGE WEASILY WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT USING THAT LANGUAGE IN FRONT OF OTHERS! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU I'LL WRING YOUR NECKS SO MUCH THEY WILL TIE THEMSELVES INTO A KNOT!" Molly yelled
"Tie our neck's into a knot! MUM YOU'RE A GENIUS!" Fred said from the stairwell "we'll get working on it right away." George said as the pitterpatter could be heard on the stairs
"BOYS!" Molly yelled before sighing
"I have no idea where they got that money for there joke products." She hissed
Harry tried to hide his laughter but Sirius caught him and looked at Harry as if he was proud Harry smiled and Sirius winked
"Perhaps the world will never know Molly." He said
Molly turned on Sirius pointing at him "if I find out it was you mister!" She said
Sirius raised his hands and leaned back
"I'm completely innocent in all this!" He said
"Oh yea! Yeah mr marauder! I know you if the war hadn't broke out you've been with James in a joke shop of your own." Molly said
"Hey if there hireing!" Sirius said
"OH COURSE!" Fred called from the stairs
"DON'T YOU DARE ENCOURAGE THEM!?" Molly snapped making the whole table laugh.
Eventually everyone settled down and it was time for dinner as Fred and George brought out the food Harry noticed a lot more faces there.
Harry noticed All of the order as well as Fluer delacour. And Bill Weasley. Along with Charlie. Who was sitting across from Tonks as she sat next to Lupin. The rest of the Weasley clan was bunched up together too Harry was fortunate to be able to sit next to Ginny on the end with Ron and Hermione also seating together. With Devon on Harry's left and Sirius at the end of the table at the other end sat Albus himself.
"Lovely as ever Molly." Albus said
Molly smiled "thank you but it was mostly Kreacher who did this
"You mean Caledhel?" Devon asked
Molly looked back at devon?
"Who?" She asked
Suddenly Caledhel appered and bowed
"Yes it is me Ms Weasley is talking about." He said
Devon nodded "would you like some bread?" He asked
Caledhel shook his head "no thank you I have enough bread for myself thank you." He said as he left,
Sirius looked around at everyone shocked "surprisingly he's a lot more tolerable now." Sirius said.
Harry smiled as they finished dinner. Harry caught up with everyone. And asked Moody how he was doing, who scoffed still upset about being locked in his truck,
After dinner Molly tried to send the kids up to bed, however Harry stood up, "I wanna stay," he said
Molly grabbed his cheek "Harry please your tired, you should just go to bed," she said
However Albus raised his hand "Molly, I do believe it is better if Harry stayed for this."
Molly sighed, "fine," she said
Harry looked around.
"So what's going on?" He asked
"Nothing." Tonks said
Harry looked confused, "nothing?" He asked
"Nothing and that's the problem." Moody said
"We believe Voldemort is laying low for the time as for a way to gather strength." Sirius said
Harry nodded
"Alright, so…what do we do?" He asked
"For now…nothing." Albus said
"Nothing?" Harry asked
"We have no idea what Voldemort's goal actually is. So for now were waiting to respond," Arthur said.
Harry looked over to Hermione who shook her head "nothing from us either," she said
"I'm sorry what?" Molly asked
Harry paused "well umm, last year I've sort of made a secret society. To promote defense against the dark arts with the hidden objects to prepare the school for war should Voldemort attack there." Harry said
Molly gasped "Harry!" She said
"Enough Molly what's done is done, and I must say Harry your teaching methods you've given were the best Hogwarts had seen in a century." Albus said
Molly paused
Harry nodded "thank you sir," he said
"However fudge is still. Denying the existence of Voldemort, and I have a fear that if the ministry were to discover the group they will break it apart." He said
Harry nodded "so go underground until fudge can be replaced." He said
Albus nodded
Molly stood up "Albus I-I can't believe you actively encouraging Harry to break the School rules." She said
"Molly this is war." Sirius said
"They are children!" She snapped
"We are warriors!" Harry, Ginny, Hermonie, Ron, Fred, and George snapped
Molly was appalled as slowly sunk into her chair defeated "I just…oh I just don't want to lose you all." She said as she began to cry Arthur grabbed her and comforted her. Arthur lead Molly out of the room as Albus sighed.
"Harry, I must admit that you've shocked me when you faced Voldemort last year, he underestimated you then he will not do that again, he's most likely laying low as a way for him to figure out a way to defeat you, so I must ask you to be more vigilant in the DA meetings. As well as how you fight," He said
Harry nodded.
Albus sighed "this year if I have the ability to I will give you as much magickal texts I can to help you train your army, us at the order of the Phoenix will do what we can as adults to hold Voldemort at bay, while you train your army as a reserve." He said
Harry nodded
Albus smiled.
Molly returned "Harry dear, are you sure you want to do this?" She asked
Harry nodded "if I don't who will." He said
Molly nodded but had to relent, as Harry was right
"Ok it's just. Oh be safe ok." She said
"That's what all you here are for im not going to need to do anything because your going to make sure nothing harms me at school." Harry said
We will definitely try our best pup." Sirius said
Lupin nodded and stood up "if that the case I should get going." He said
"Oh but Remus stay Harry misses you. Molly said
Harry waved his hand "it's ok Mrs Weasley I know. Lupin cares." He said as Lupin nodded and vanished
Molly sighed
"Why do I have a feeling this is all planned." She said
"The less you know about this mum the better." Ginny said
"Molly looked at Ginny who just grinned Molly just rolled her eyes "alright well if you're all Adults now I guess I'm going to treat you like them now. Just get to bed at a reasonable time that's all I ask." Molly said as she started up the stairs
Albus smiled "sound advice Ms Weasley I think I will follow it. Harry I wish you the best of luck this school year." Albus said as he stepped towards Harry
And recognized old text books older than what Harry should be reading in his hands.
"Mr Potter where did you get that book?"
Harry looked up at Albus
"Why from my inheritance." He said
"Your inheritance?" Albus asked
Harry nodded "yes funny thing apparently nearly 90% of my inheritance vault had vanished over 3 billion gallions worth of rare metals. Wood, potion ingredients. And gemstones. Fortunately I was able to get back the essence items safe and sound." Harry said
Devon patted Harry
"Yeah funny thing apparently they were given as a gift to the Arch Druid of the Monastery. Fortunately they wanted to see Harry anyway otherwise who would've known how long we'd have thought it missing for." Devon said
Albus smiled as he squeezed Harry's shoulder.
"That's good at least. Goodnight Harry." He said as he left
After Dumbledore left Harry addressed the table
"Dumbledore definitely had something to do with the disappearance of my Inheritance." Harry said
Everyone nodded
"Even I have to admit Albus is acting a little strange." Alastor Moody said
Sirius smiled "we can't actively fight Albus we need him for against Voldemort. But we can make him hurt I'll tell Feldspar that the items have been found."
"So what is the book Harry?"
Harry held up the book
"It's my dads school notes." Harry said
"Wow." Tonks said
"That's impressive Harry." Moody said
Harry nodded "now if you don't mind I'm going to speak to my firends." Harry said
Sirius held him "you can update your friends here with us. It won't get back to Dumbledore, promise." He said
Harry looked over to see everyone else nodding too.
Harry sighed "the Druids have confirmed they will follow me into battle. We have there support."
"Yes!" The Weasley Children cried as did Hermione. Sirius patted Harry on the back as moody looked at Harry impressed
"Quite a show my friend very few people can convince those so stuck on neutrality to change." He said
Harry nodded
Devon stood up "however there is a catch." He said Making everyone pause
"I wasn't lying last year when I said the Druid order is in ruins. There is only one monastery left. However we are growing. We have members actively recruiting over seas and in other countries. But it will take a while for us to get to our full strength." Devon said
"How long?" Harry asked
"About two years." Devon said
"Your going to ease an army of Druids in two years! That's impossible! You said it yourself your an outlier!" Moody slammed his fist on the table
"I'm not lying Alastor!" Devon said before he addressed the table
"We are actively recruiting but not Druids. We're recruiting pagans. Many of them will be able to help us in their own countries." Devon said
Harry nodded "then we have a job to keep the forces at bay from here." Harry said
Hermione elbowed Harry "maybe that new fancy book of yours can help solve this." She said
However Devon cut her off.
"Hermione it isn't a oracle. It's the culmination of hundreds maybe even a thousand years of magick compressed into a single book. That's power. And can't be used flippantly." Devon said
Hermione deflated but understood what he was saying.
Harry and the others went to bed however before they did so Harry showed Ron and Hermione his room. And showed Ginny through sight share (while she was dropping lewd comments in his head and giggling)
Finally the two left Harry alone as he sat on the bed and for the first time in a while he felt himself get aroused he started to reach down
"No!" Ginny snapped in his mind
"What?!" Harry asked
"You know what you were doing. You know what we said." Ginny said
Harry sighed 'Ginny I'm not taking your virginity while your 14. Or 15 I might not take it when your 16 your mum will kill me.' Harry said
Ginny smiled 'well I guess you will just have to let him alone for a while then love.' Ginny said
Harry sighed 'you are evil.'
'And your wife. If it makes it easer I believe I found a magical chastity cage in Diagon alley one time when I snuck away from my mum.' Ginny teased
'GINNY!?' Harry gasped
Ginny giggled in his head 'oh you're too easy sometimes.'
Harry groaned as he fell on his bed Ginny was going to be the death of him at some point.
Until Ginny spoke again
'No just the cause of our first born son' Ginny said
'Wait…first born?' Harry asked
'Oh course I grew up in a big family and I want that splendor to be shared love.'
'Oh I can feel my balls groaning already.' Harry moaned
'Hmmm no I think there just backed up…I wonder if they will actually turn blue in the coming weeks.' Ginny teased
'ARGHHHH!' Harry screamed in his mind as Ginny roared in laughter
Somehow Harry got through the night and wasn't greeted by a lewd comment in the morning from ginny
He got dressed and headed down to the kitchen to see everyone was there again by the table. However they were talking hushed voices
"So what's going on?" Harry asked
Everyone turned to look at Harry like a deer in the headlights Molly stood up
"Oh Harry dear why don't you go sit down, I'll fix your breakfast right up." Molly said as she started to lead Harry away he asked again
" what happened?"
This time Sirius answered
"Voldemort busted his death eaters out of Azakaban." He said
Molly slapped her sides "I don't know why I bother anymore." She said exasperated.
"If Sirius didn't say it I would've mum. Harry just wants to be informed." Ginny said
Molly sighed "I know dear. And Harry I don't mean it to discourage you it's just…oh I just want you to have a good childhood." She said
Harry nodded "I know Miss Weasley it's just well..:I haven't had anything really akin to a normal childhood and trying to put me into one is just a task of impossiblity." Harry said
Molly sighed "very well. Now let me fix you up some breakfast." She said as she walked away. Harry sat down next to Sirius
"So what happened?" Harry asked
Sirius shook his head "we're not sure the Ministry just gave the emergency call to the Arouras for move to high alert and Fudge is scheduled to be meeting with the muggle PM about now." He said
Harry sighed "do we know who has broken out?" He asked
"Other than my sister no." Sirius said as he stood up "which reminds me I should go and cut her off of the black Will and try to capture some of her vault before it goes into Voldemort's war chest. If you excuse me." He said as he flooed away
Everyone watched him go before turning to Harry who sat at the end of the table face in his hands thinking.
"Love?" Ginny asked after a long pause
And like a wound up spring Harry sprung into action
"Hermione try to figure out a way for the rest of the DA to communicate in secret during school. When meetings will take: time, place, location make it as inconspicuous as possible perhaps a gallon or something." Harry said
he turned to Ron "Work with Devon and devise battle tactics in case the death eaters storm Hogwarts I want to know the prime access points, chokepoints. And escape routes in case we need to do anything or hold the line to allow the younger years time to escape." Harry said
Ron nodded shocked at the spurr of action Harry was driven into. But turned yo devon and began talking
"Fred George tell me now off books how is the defense Line going for Weasley's wizarding Weases." Harry asked
"First prototypes are done. We just need testing and eventually a place to sell them." They said
Harry nodded "look for an empty lot in Diagon alley. If you don't have enough gallieon I can lend you money for a loan." Harry said
There was a loud crash as Harry turned around and saw Ms Weasley's in shock.
"H-Harry?" She asked
Harry paled she clearly heard what he just said
Everyone looked at each other and suddenly found another place to be.
"D-did you really give them the money to start there shop? W-why?" She asked
Harry smiled "it's there dream ms Weasley. Plus if you saw them you'd agree there amazing at it. There R&D could reinvent the way of the war." Harry said
Molly was stunned "r-really?" She asked
Harry nodded "yeah… Sirius wasn't joking when he said he was planning of being a major buyer as a ministry contractor for them. Just give them a year and they will be brining in more money than ever." He said
Molly huffed "two years they still have to finish school. But I guess they can still get through the mail orders." She relented
From the other room Fred and George cheered
Molly looked up "what that them? Can they heard us?" She asked
Harry paused "I believe it's one of there newer products called the extendable Ear." Harry said
"Boys get in here!" Molly yelled
Suddenly Fred and George walked in and George tossed Harry an Ear "your right about the product Harry here." He said as Harry caught it
"Has a little kink in it makes a buzzing sound if not set correctly." Fred said
"Or a screech if your mum is shouting." George said
"I actually think that's normal." Fred said to George.
George snapped at Fred "you know I think your right about that."
At once they turned to their mother and asked In Sync "yes mum?"
Molly huffed "we'll clearly you heard the entire conversation so I'll be quick with it then. I will cut you a deal. If you can raise 500 gallieon in two years. Selling your products. I'll give you my blessing for a ship." She said
Fred and George were ecstatic however Molly had a few follow up points "however! I have two caveats 1 you cannot use any of the money that Harry has graciously given you. And two you cannot get the money from Hogwarts students
Fred and George looked at each other and nodded
"Those are acceptable terms mother." Fred said
George had to ask "I wonder if we can use Sirius's house as an warehouse?" He asked Fred
"No! This is a safe house for the war effort I won't let you jeopardize our security for your business!" Molly ranted
"But mum!" George sighed but Fred held his shoulder "wait we can work with this. Mum can we use our room in the burrow instead?" He asked
"No that's even more ridiculous!" Molly said before she smiled "you'll get your own shed!
Fred and George cheered and thanked there mother profusely before running up the stairs Fred poked his head out from the stairs "mum can we have Harry's help with business?" He asked
"Only if he's ok with it." She said
"I refuse to do advertising! But I can help with contacts try to get an advertisement out in the daily prophet." Harry said
Fred nodded "we were thanking of that thanks Harry get in contact with Sirius and tell him we're going to be ready or mail orders soon." He said as he popped away
Harry sat back "honestly I didn't expect yours set the bar so low I was expected 1000 gallion minimum." Harry said
Molly shrugged "well I didn't want to be so mean." She said
Harry looked back with a knowing smile "you don't know how popular Fred and George are." They will have the money by the end of the year at least." Harry said
Molly smiled "we will see." She picked up the mess she made when she dropped Harry's breakfast and went to get Harry more.
Eventually ever came back to the kitchen as Harry finished eating Sirius came back with a cup in his hand
"Any luck?" Harry asked
Sirius shook his head "no apparently Bellatrix left it to be taken care of by Malfoy and the only thing I was able to ascertain was this cup." Sirius said
Ron sighed "that's sucks."
"What's the value of that thing?" Hermione asked
Sirius looked at it "I don't know it looks to be gold plated so probably nothing." He said before he threw it over his shoulder and promptly forgot about it.
Harry smiled "well god news Fred and George have opened a mail order system." Harry said
Sirius smiled "good umm…" he looked over to Molly who was sitting calmly.
"Oh Ms Weasley gave them an ultimatum. If they can raise 500 gallon's in two years she'd give her blessing for the shop."
Sirius looked at Molly "you have no idea how amazing there products are." He said
Molly sighed "so I've been told." She said before going back to inspect the ear.
"What is that?" Sirius asked
"New products just off the bench called an extendable ear. Apparently it has a error if it's not set properly it picks up a buzzing." Harry said
Sirius nodded "may I?" He asked
Molly handed it to Sirius and held it up to his ear
"Can you two have a conversation?"
Harry and Molly had a bit of small talk and after a few minutes Sirius pulled away from the ear
"I understand what they were talking about. I have no idea how to fix it however, I'll go talk to them and check out a catalogue." He said as he headed up the stairs.
In the coming days Harry had been getting more news of the updates of the wizarding world.
The vote of no confidence on Fudge was voted and Fudge was voted out of office Dumbledore was set to take office as acting minister but turned it down in favor of Amelia Bones and voting would take place for a more official Minister within a few months until then Amelia was acting under emergency authority for war. And doubled the amount of Arora Trainees. Amelia cast her ballot in for the vote as permanent Minister of Magic. However so did Rufus Scrimgeor who was the previous head of Aurora department and was bumped up to Head of the DMLE. When Amelia was made interim Minister.
Harry smiled as this was looking to be a good year. No major crisis blooming. The government was fighting itself. And Harry could go back to learning in school.
Harry smiled as he even thought of possibly taking Ginny on a relaxing date.
Harry asked me Weasley about it and agreed. So long as they were back before midnight.
Then it was Harry's turn to ask the more volitile question to Ginny
Harry knocked on her door
"Come in." Ginny said
Harry stepped in "Gin?" Harry asked
"Yes Harry." Ginny said
Harry stepped in and started to talk Ginny however cut him off "Harry love I already said yes." She said
Harry looked up "huh but I…oh! Right! right! right." Harry said remembering the mental link
Ginny giggled
Harry looked up and saw her cute smile
Then the image changed to her naked in the same spot
Harry shook his head to try to get the thought out of his head as Ginny giggled louder as Harry tried to look away to not get aroused.
'Oh you're so fun to tease.' Ginny said
Harry looked up "Ginny? Are you doing this?" Harry asked
Ginny blinked innocently
"I have no idea what your talking about." She said
Harry groaned as Ginny said
"Careful now otherwise little Harry gonna pop."
Harry looked up flustered "Ginny!" Harry gasped causing Ginny to giggle
"Oh come on let you don't wanna snuggle?" She teased
Harry shook his head "I don't think my head can handle a cuddle session." He said
"Your head or your head?" Ginny teased with enthesist
"Both." Harry said which made Ginny giggle.
Harry sighed and started to inch away from the door. When suddenly there was a bang.
Harry turned around and Ginny was on him pressing her chest right into his back
"G-Ginny." Harry said as Ginny wrapped her hands around his chest
"Shush you know you want it." She said
"We can't Ginny." Harry said
"We're pagans Harry yes we can…" Ginny teased
"F-fuck you." Harry hissed as he tilted his head down
"Someone's going to have to free the little guy for that to happen." Ginny teased
"Mmmnn!" Harry moaned as he tried to pull away from Ginny but she held firm
"Oh getting desperate are we?" She asked
"I don't wanna I don't want to get you pregnant so soon love." Harry said
Ginny bent down "and what if I told you I had preventative measures already in place."
Harry froze Ginny was teasing him right? She had to…but then again…she's never joked about something this serious.
'Look on my dresser love' Ginny said
Harry turned around slowly and there it was a commercial Pregnancy blocker in full view.
'Ginny…' Harry said
'Yes love?' Ginny asked
'I want you.' Harry said
"Finally." Ginny said as she stroked his chin
In her mind Ginny was jumping up and down, at last she wore him down.
"However!" Harry said and Ginny froze looking at Harry
"We will only do it once a month. At least for now. Also for gods sake no penetrating…yet." Harry said
Ginny nodded "ok I will admit to that now come on husband get in bed." Ginny said
That night was a blissful learning experience for the both of them.
The next day Harry came down and saw the entire order there once again only ones not there were Sirius Fred, George, Ron and Hermione. And Ginny
Where is Sirius?" Harry asked as he sat down in his chair Molly came by and dropped off a bit of food.
"Apparently is very much underestimated the willingness of my sons. And they have gone with Sirius back to the burrow to check "Inventory as well as set up the mail order shed, as for Your friends. Well I believe they are having a lie in. in bed with each other…" Molly said as he looked at Harry and Ginny as she came down
"Something I believe you two also shaired." She said
Ginny and Harry blushed "mum I-."
However Molly cut her off "no no. This is a personal matter and I will speak with you individually. And no one is going to say anything more about it am I understood?" Molly asked to the room
Everyone nodded however Devon leaned towards Harry and gave him a thumbs up
Which resulted in Ms Weasley hitting him ontop of his head "ow! Jeez Mum!" Devon hissed
This however made Ms Weasley go from angry mother to happy in an instant as she walked away.
Devon was confused "Um I'm sorry that's never happened before." He said
After breakfast Sirius and the twins came back and Sirius had to go to work and have Harry and Ginny a pat on the back before he left.
As Ron and hermione came down it was obvious that they had done the deed as they wore each other's shirts backwards.
Harry and Ginny rolled there eyes as the two tried to play innocent in the accusation
'At least we were somewhat stealthy' Harry thought
'Yeah and acknowledged when we were caught.' Ginny said
Eventually Albus Dumbledore arrived and called an order meeting of all those who were there.
Molly used this time to pull Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny aside and into the other room
Molly closed the door and silenced the door
"Sit please." Molly said
Harry and Ginny sat while Hermione and Ron remained standing.
Molly sighed "please let it be known that despite the look of it I am not angry, frightened and motherly yes but not angry at what you've done last night."
Ron still tried to defend himself "mum we didn't do anything." He said
Ginny spun to Ron "oh bullshit Ron give it up you came down here this morning with each other's shirt on. Heck both Harry and I heard you last night at it and we were at it to." Ginny said
"Ginny." Molly said trying to calm her daughter down.
Ron pointed at Ginny "ha so you admit you were having sex last night!" He said
Ginny slapped her sides " yes of course I admit it because despite my age Ronald I am a adult!" Ginny said
"Enough!" Molly snapped getting the attention of everyone once again.
Molly took a deep breath "once again I state I am not mad. Just motherly so I'm going to ask you this once we're you at least protected when you did the deed.
Harry and Ginny nodded while Ron and Hermione looked at each other
'Oh boy' Ginny thought
"Hermione…you do know that wizards have there own form of protection do you?" Ginny asked
Hermione shook her head "I um I used muggle ones." She said
Ginny sighed
"Those don't work as effectively as Wizarding one's however I do happen to believe that you should be safe if this was just a one time thing. It was a one time thing right?" Molly asked
Ron nodded "y-yeah honesty Hermione I wouldn't have done it if you told me you weren't on protection I thought you meant wizarding ones." He said
Hermione nodded "it's ok it's my fault for not looking into it further than I normally do." Hermione said
Ginny grabbed Hermione "look I have some of my own stuff if you want to use that." Ginny said
Molly nodded to Ginny "perhaps that's best dear at least it will make Hermione feel better." She said
Ginny nodded and ran off before returning.
Molly thanked Ginny while she gave Hermione the potion.
As Molly left the kids went to follow but Molly refused to let them go. Citing their behavior as a reason for them not to come and that she would get them later and to think of their actions.
Harry sighed as Ron and hermione sat down
"Do you get the idea that there talked about something they don't want us to hear?" Harry asked
Ginny nodded but Ron and Hermione shrugged
"Wanna listen in anyways?" Harry asked
Hermione looked up "how?" She asked
Harry opened his palm to reveal an extendable ear he nicked off The twins.
"Harry!" Hermione gasped
"We need to be informed if we're to win this war whether or not Dumbledore or Molly wants it or not." Harry said
Hermione sighed as she relented as Harry put the ear under the door
There was a loud bang on the table in the main room!
"Tell him!" Devon snapped
"We can't! We can't risk you know who finding out!" Albus said
"HE ALREADY KNOWS IT EXISTS HES ALREADY PLANNING TO STEAL THE PROP-!"
Molly snapped up and yelled "DEVON OAKLAND DONT YOU FINISH THAT SENTENCE?!" She snapped
He did anyways as Molly gasped
"There's no point in hiding it from Harry the only thing your doing is isolating him from you more." He said
Molly sighed "oh and I suppose your going to lead him to the right goal?" Molly snapped
Devon slammed his staff on the ground and stood up "YES I told you The Druids have already declared him their leader not The ministry, not The Order, not Albus. Potter!"
Albus stood up "but Harry doesn't need to know yet it would just put undo stress on him.
"HE WAS THERE ALBUS HE ALREADY KNOWS!" Devon snapped
Suddenly Harry opened the door and everyone paused as Harry walked in
"Sorry I just realized I forgot my book." He said as he grabbed the Potter Grimoire from off the table and started to move away.
Albus stood up and pointed his wand at Harry and tried to blast him
However Harry was quicker leaning away from the spell but it wasn't necessary as a shield surrounded Harry
Devon Sirius and Remus stood up pointing there wands at Albus
"HOLD!" Harry snapped making them all freeze
Harry walked over and held the book to Albus face
"You recognize this book don't you." He said
Albus sat frozen he was in a rock and a hard place.
"Don't you?!" Harry snapped
"Harry what are you trying to say?" Sirius said
"Albus was the mysterious contact who sent the rest of Harry's inheritance to The Druids as "safekeeping" believing that they would never be found. He hoped to cut the pagan ties of the Potter so Harry would be more acceptable to his ideal's." Devon hissed
Molly gasped
Alastor turned to Albus "is this true?"
Albus looked but and said "I'm only trying to help."
"You wanna help?! Ok get me involved! You praised be before for making the DA then you refuse to allow us in and get vital information we need to win this fight!" Harry said
"We've hid nothing from you-."
"THE PROPHECY!" Harry snapped at Dumbledore making him pause.
Devon stood up and looked at Albus "this was what I was talking about Albus. Tell him now or 90% of the order and strength will walk away." Devon said
"You don't…" he asked as he looked around
Alastor nodded
Tonks nodded
Sirius and Remus nodded
Arthur nodded
Heck even Molly was nodding now.
Albus sighed
"Very well however before we continue I need to do something and please forgive me
"Legilimens!" Albus snapped as he attempted to invade Harry's mind
Harry yelled in pain and dropped to the floor
"Harry!" Sirius screamed as he ran to Harry's side
As he got there he heard another scream as Ginny could be heard screaming in the other room as Molly ran to fetch her.
but surprisingly it was Albus who was showing the most strain. As he was sweating bullets until finally he was forced out and fell back in his chair exhausted
Alastor turned to Albus "well?" He asked
Albus shook his head
Alastor looked to Harry appalled
"A natural then?" He asked
However Albus shook his head "no no I don't believe so as I've believe it and the facts follow this, it's actually the Soul bond Harry and Ginny share. Making him impervious to any mental attacks from Voldemort." Albus said
"So what does that mean?" Harry asked
"It means Harry I don't have any fear to reveal to you anything that we tried to keep hidden for fear of it going to Voldemort. At least from You and Ginny your other firends might need to have extra training involved.
"Extra training to include?" Ginny asked
"Occulamcy." Alastor said
Harry nodded "so um… what is this prophecy?" He asked
Albus sighed "it was a prophecy that was given to me by Madam Trelawney in the year of 1981."
"Yes but what does it say?" Harry asked
Albus sighed "I can't remember the exact wording off the top of my head which makes the information I tell you useless however I have a pensive back at my office with the memory I can show you. What matters is that Voldemort does not know. And will do anything he can to get it." Dumbledore said
"But how I don't understand?" Harry asked
Devon stepped forward "Harry remember I told you before the Ministry doesn't like to admit it but in the Department of Mysteries is mostly run by the Druids well mostly but only those in the more important parts. The hall of prophecies." Devon said
"That sounds important." Tonks said
Devon looked over "I assume you all know what it is but I'll explain again essentially every single prophecy ever announced is recorded there by magickal means and the Prophet. One of the only people licensed to handle the prophecy's directly except the actual people it's importance is towards. Is a Druid who retrieves the prophecies from the back to give to the person." Devon said
Harry nodded "so that's good we can just go and get the prophecy and listen to it." Harry said
Devon shook his head we could but that would be very risky." Devon said
"Why?" Harry asked
"Because confirmed Death eaters you've told us were at the graveyard like Malfoy were confirmed to be clear of the dark mark and are back in office." Devon said as Arthur slid a paper over to Harry which he read off the front page.
"After looking through we've discovered one of them is also a member of the department of mysteries." Alastor said
Harry looked around and Albus shook his head as if knowing what Harry was about to ask
"Unfortunately due to legal matters Amelia cannot do anything unless indefinite proof and gathering said evidence and overlook them which by that time Amelia will be out of office and possibly might be replaced with someone more amicable to Voldemort's goals." Albus said
Harry nodded "so basically they the untouchable. So what can we do?" Harry asked
Sirius sighed "well as far as I can tell Voldemort is trying to recover the prophecy. So we're going to have guards posting around there at all time." Sirius said
Devon nodded "I can alert the Druids in the hall to be on alert, we have systems in place to track evil intent. They can give us a heads up if they find Voldemort is attacking." He said
Harry nodded "yeah they can hold him off at bay to buy us time to get there." He said
However Dumbledore stood and shook his head "I'd not recommend that Harry." He said
Harry snapped his head up at Dumbledore as if asking for him to argue with him again
Albus raised his hand "please let me finish." He said
As of now Voldemort only knows your more powerful than he first believed. This is probably thinking of a way to counter just you. If you reveal in your next battle you have more forces in place he will be expecting that and most likely he will counter your entire strategy. However. If you reveal yourself in stages…" he said
Harry nodded "then he will be on the backfoot everytime he expects to be on top." Harry said
Albus smiled "I know I've done a great wrong to you Harry. But I still want you to know I have your best interest in heart." He said
Harry nodded and looked to Sirius
"Can you allow Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood access to 12 Grimmauld place we can use them as a rapid response team should we be needed." Harry said
"Harry dear. Let us deal with the department of Mysteries." Molly said
Harry nodded "trust me I plan to however I still want to surprise Tom when he's feeling so smug." Harry smiled
Albus nodded " I believe that it will show exactly that to the rest of the world." Albus said
Harry looked over "rest of the world?" Harry asked
Sirius sighed "one of the few attempts fudge used to remain in power was to draw your name through the mud. And seeing as you weren't able to respond and counter." He said
Harry nodded "I basically confirmed his suspension."
"To the minds of those who follow Fudge yes." Sirius said
Harry nodded "so can we get those who are apart of the DA and bring them here for training?" Harry asked
"So long as they are over 17 as or apart of the leader group of the DA then yes. However for them to be accepted I need to put the stress that they need to be able to block their heads from Voldemort's mental attacks." Albus said
Harry nodded "when do we start?" Harry asked
He shook his head "unfortunately not for a while as the one never who we can trust is unfortunately away. Right now." Albus said
Harry nodded "not a problem we can use this time to gather the forces who we can." Harry said
"I'll get owls out to Neville and Luna." Ginny said
"And I'll get in contact with Cedric and other recent graduates." Devon said
However Arthur stood up "actually I'll do it I pass by his father every day at work so I can get in contact With him." He said
Devon looked up "low key?" Arthur nodded
Devon smiled "very well I'll leave it to you." He said
Albus nodded "then for now we have a game plan Harry while there are quicker ways to learn Occlumency probable one of the safer ways for now is in a book I will bring back to you sometime tomorrow this will help you jumpstart your training of your friends. Well as much as you have already. Funnily enough practicing meditation is a art used in the skill." He said
Devon smiled
"I don't expect them to get this but I'll explain it anyways if you can't you can help teach them. You might also try to do this as well as it might make it less painful for someone to invade your head if you do." Albus suggested.
Harry nodded
"Because your so far along with meditation "probably farther along than what's necessarily needed the next phase is to organize your thoughts in a secure system."
"Organize your thoughts in a secure system what the heck does that mean?" Harry asked
Dumbledore shrugged "unfortunately there is no real answer to that and even skilled Occlumins have no real answer either that is useful. Only the advice of "you will know when you reach it." Dumbledore said
Harry sighed "great." He said
Dumbledore nodded "I'm sorry Harry that's why I'm going to implement another part as well the physical test of shields." He said
Harry winced "is that as harsh as I think it sounds?" Harry asked
Molly nodded "yes dear unfortunately but you said your willing to do this for the war effort." She said
Harry nodded "and I am." He looked to Dumbledore "we'll be ready."
"Excellent Harry. Now I'm afraid it's getting late so I must be going Harry expect the book by the fireplace by 7 in the morning." Dumbledore said
Harry nodded as Albus flooed away.
Molly stood up "I'll go get Ron and Hermione." She said
Harry looked at Molly "please let them know we didn't hold them in there as a punishment but for confidentiality of information." Harry said
Moly turned "are you sure Harry?" She asked
Harry nodded "trust me." He said
Molly nodded and headed into the room
And promptly let out a scream and shut the door blushing
Harry and Ginny looked at each other
"Are they?" Ginny asked
Molly nodded
Harry sighed "They can't keep their hands off for two minutes." He said
"Pardon me Harry." Fred said
"But are you trying to imply?" George asked
"That Hermione and Ron are…" They said
There was a pause
Molly rolled her eyes "say it." She said
"Having sex?" The twins asked
"I think that the reaction of your mother proofed that to be valid yes." Harry said
Alastor shook his head "well kids got there kinks power to 'em…" he said as everyone looked at him like he grew a third eye
"What?!" He asked
"A slide the part that both Ron and Hermione are 15 almost 16 years old. Still ew!" Harry said
"Like your one to talk." Sirius said looking to Harry but as Harry looked back he noticed Sirius wink.
"So are we just going to be blunt about it now?" Tonks asked glairing at Harry
Harry raised his hands "hey don't blame me, blame them." Harry said pointing to the door and at Ms Weasley.
"I BEG YOUR PARDON YOUNG MAN HOW DARE YOU BLAME ME EVEN IF RON IS MY SON!" Molly snapped
"I was talking about Ron and Hermione, not you Mrs Weasley." He said which calmed Molly down.
"Oh…yeah fare enough." She said
Harry looked over to see Ginny glaring him with her arms crossed he shrugged
"What?!" He asked
"I'm literally inside your head Potter I know what your thinking." She said as she rolled up the newspaper and smacked Harry off the head with it and stormed off.
"Ow jeez!" Harry said
Ginny turned around "AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT CONSIDERING IT!" Ginny said as she stormed off.
Harry sat in the chair confused as all hell.
Sirius looked at Harry "is there something you want to tell us?" He asked
"Just the idea of me and Ginny "snuggling" on the couch alone…" Harry said
"The naked jingle?" Fred asked
"Yeah but I mean Ginny and myself or at least Ginny has sent me provocative images to me before and never got this reaction." Harry said
Molly stood up
"I think I should have a talk with her." She said
Harry stood up "I should come too." He said however Molly held him down "no stay here and try to block the conversation out please. This is a private family matter Harry." Molly said
Harry nodded as Molly headed up the stairs
Sirius looked at Harry
"Are you trying to block the conversation?" He asked
Harry nodded "yeah Molly just entered the room and well I'm trying to not cut us off too much to trigger an episode. But…" Harry blushed "oh I see what Ms Weasley was talking about you know I think I'm going to risk the episode." Harry said as he cut the link fully
The reaction was instantaneous as a lot of black sludge was bubbling around Harry as he got noticeably angrier.
Devon stepped forward "Harry perhaps this could be a good time to practice meditation techniques and try to get into Occliumancy." Devon said
Harry nodded and took a deep breath and focused and after a little bit the sludge began to fade.
Sirius looked at Devon
"It feels like that shouldn't happen." He said to Devon
He nodded
"Harry completely cut off the connection to Ginny due to there personal conversation. Usually soul bonds are formed in older folk who've already had "the talk." Devon said
Sirius nodded
Suddenly Ron opened the door "what did we miss?" Ron asked
"Are you done playing rabbits in there?" Alastor asked which Devon walked him
Ron was confused
"Rabbit's I?" Ron asked
Devon slumped his head down Ron was not a good lier
"Your mother caught you." He said
Ron sighed "aw crap!" He said
Sirius shrugged "hey no need to be ashamed. Most of us. Actually no I think all of us have done the deed so it doesn't matter." He said
Devon raised his hand "I actually haven't but I'm pagan so I'm except from the list." He shrugged
Ron looked at Harry "what's up with him?"
Devon answered "Ginny and your mother are having a personal conversation and Harry's allowing no information to leak out." Devon said
Ron nodded as Hermione stepped out looking loads better
"Well the princess finally woke up." Sirius teased as Tonks glaired at him
"Yeah who knew I just needed a good pounding?" She asked
There was a pause
"You've been around Devon too much." The twins said
"Hey I resent that!" Devon snapped!
"But blackmail!" The twins wined
"Technically if anyone deserves to have blackmail on the list it's me because I own the house." Sirius said
After a while Ginny comes back down and opens the link making the sludge recede and Harry and Ginny were happy again.
Within the next day most of the Weasley family went back to The Burrow With Ron, and Ginny staying at 12 Grimmauld place for occlumency training as well as other stuff.
The rest of the order filtered out as well leaving the home inhabitable once again as Neville and Luna arrived along with Cedric that evening
"Harry was in the drawing room by the fireplace reading the Potter Family Grimoire when the fire turned green Harry looked up expecting an attack
"Harry!" A cheerful voice said
Harry looked up to see Cedric in the fireplace he hoped up from his seat cheerful
"Cedric good to see you!" Harry said as they met in a hug
Cedric smiled "it's so good to see you…um my feet are quiet warm." Cedric said looking down to see he was in the middle of a fire
"Oh shit sorry!" Harry apologized as he helped Cedric out of the fireplace and bar away the flames from his pants leaving them minorly singed around the edges but no worse for wear.
Harry however didn't see it that way
"I'm sorry Cedric. Oh and your wearing dress robes too you probably just came from the ministry and I ruined your work clothes." He moaned
Cedric waved his down "Harry Harry it's fine honest these clothes are only used for formal occasions like speeches or first day of a new job most of the time I'm going to be in normal clothes." He said
Harry sighed "alright." Here let me take your stuff while I show you your room." He said
Cedric sighed knowing he wouldn't accept a no and handed him his coat as Harry led him out of the drawing room and into the stairwell area
Cedric looked around
"This is yours Harry?" He asked
Harry looked back
"No this is my Godfathers although when he dies "hopefully not soon. I will inherit it." He said as he climbed the stairs and opened a door
" this will be your room. My room is just down the hall." Harry pointed to the left
Next to that is Ginny's room. If I'm not in my room chances are I'm there but I'd suggest you knock before entering
Next to you is…oh that might be a problem." Harry said
Cedric looked at the door
"What?" He asked
Harry cringed "that's Ron and Hermione's shaired room." He said
"They're sharing a room?" Cedric asked
"In more than one way." Harry said
Cedric looked shocked "pretty young." He said
"Wizarding prevention methods are amazing." Harry said.
Cedric turned to Harry "Wait when you say your-."
Cedric was cut off by a moan coming from the door "AH YES RON YES YESSSSS!" A female voice cried
Harry sighed "ugh they forgot to muffle again." He said as he waved his hand and the screaming stopped
"Was that-?" Cedric asked as he turned to see Harry walking away
"Hermione? yes…sorry they forget to muffle often if it becomes too much tell me and we can find you another room to use." Harry said as he headed back down the stairs.
Cedric looked at the door then shrugged and headed into his room.
The hour after that Luna and Neville arrived.
Harry looked up and smiled "hi you two are you ready?"
"Oh definitely." Luna
Harry nodded "well first of all we're going to start with meditation, and work on Occlumency. Ron and Hermione…when they are done will join us," Harry said
"what are they doing?" Luna asked
Just then Cedric came in and sighed "trust me you don't want to know." He said as he looked to Harry
"Where is Ginny?" Cedric asked
"Ginny will not be joining us as she is working with her brothers to help set up a mail service for their joke shop at the burrow." Harry said
"What about Devon?" Cedric asked
"Devon is working with Lupin right now to get us oversight on Voldemort's plans. And movements, we're alone, but don't worry I'll teach you as much as I can." Harry said
"As much as I'd like to see that Potter, I'd suspect you'd do more harm than good, especially, in the subtle art of, Occlumency." A voice said behind them as Harry looked up to see Severus Snape by the door,
"Professor?" Cedric asked
"What are you doing here?" Harry asked
"I've come, because I was asked to, by Dumbledore," Snape said as he looked at Cedric
"And I am no longer your professor so you no longer have to treat me as such." Snape said
Cedric nodded
Harry smiled
"Well I'm completely new to this so where do we begin?" Harry asked
"Normally I'd start by invading everyone's mind to see how well your mental shields are on there own, however Dumbleedore has told me there is adverse reaction to that, so for now Potter you will read the book, while I train the others to protect their mind," Snape said
Harry nodded as he went to read the book when he looked to see the Potter Grimoire sliding across the table and stopping infront of Harry.
Harry tried to ingnore it and go back to the book when the Grimoire opened its paged and knocked the book on the ground
Snape looked up
"Are you putting any effort into this Potter? why did you chuck the book on the ground?" Snape asked slipping into the mean and arrogant Snape from the first three years of Harry's time at Hogwarts.
Harry looked up
"It's not me? It's the book?" Harry said as he tried to pick up the other book but the Potter Grimoire bit his arm.
"Argh!" He yelled
Snape rushed over and tried to help Harry,
"What is this book?" He asked
"It's…the family Grimoire." Harry grunted,
Snape froze,
"Mr Potter drop the book." He said
Harry looked up shocked
"What?" Harry asked
"Just do it!" Snape said
Harry did so and the book stopped biting him and sat back on the table.
Harry looked at his arm and found that the book didn't break the skin.
Snape looked at the book
"Incredible…" he said as he approached it
"I always heard your father talking about this but I never knew what he ment. This is powerful magic Potter take care of it." He said
Suddenly the book open to a blank and began to wrote
Severus, for all the times I've harmed you in school I've wanted to apologize, years after our seventh year Lilly finally opened up to me about what you mean to each other, thank you, we're things any different and I could go back in time, know I'd never be as cruel to you as I was, and I thank you for looking after my son,
From James
Snape sighed and nodded
Harry was shocked
"But why did the book not want me to read the Occlumency text?" He asked
Snape looked at him "I think the book has its own way to teaching it, that would be better for you to learn." Snape said
Harry looked at the book
"Is that true?" He asked the book
In response the Book opened to a random page
And on top with big bold Font underlined read
Occlumency: the study to protect ones mind
By Hardwin Potter.
It went on to tell the origins of the Occlumency and being mind readers, as well as the fact that surprisingly everyone to have the ability of reading minds. And protecting from it. As it was a pagan practice from old times, however the muggles are to close minded by the newly created aspects of science, to be able to use it anymore,
It then descussed methods of how to get in the right mindset and everything else and how do it without invading peoples personal thoughts,
Even Snape was impressed with the book as it was using techniques he never heard of and was impressed.
Snape nodded and began to work with the others using the Grimoire's techniques as Harry did it himself.
About half way through Ron and Hermione came down "oh you started without us." Ron said
"Well you were busy so we decided to let you finish." Cedric said
Hermonie blushed "yeah probably…for the best…" she said
Snape however rounded on them "enough your way behind get ready and we will give you the quick version of what we've gone over, it will be up to you to get caught up." He said as he went back to teaching Neville. Cedric and Luna how to protect their mind's.
Within a few weeks Snape felt confident about there ability to protect their minds, including Potter and he left, as Harry and Ginny cuddled on the couch, while Ron Hermonie, Neville, Luna and Cedric, we're working with Devon, to train their bodies,
One week later The Defense Association was sitting at the table eating breakfast when Devon rushed in.
"We've got a problem get your bodies ready!" He said
Harry jumped up "what happened?" He asked Devon
"One of our Druid contacts are in the hospital after trying to retrieve the prophecy. We need to go now!" Devon said as he rushed to the floo.
Harry didn't hesitate and neither did the others as they rushed to the fireplace and flooed to St mungos.
Devon ran up to the counter, "hi I'm here to see Broderick bode." Devon said
The receptionist nodded "let me see down the hall please." She said
Devon and the others nodded and headed down the hall
When they got there there was a person standing outside the ward in front of the door,
"I'm sorry but you're unable to come in at this time." He said
"We're here to see a friend here." Devon said
"I'll make sure whoever he is that he is told you came." He said
Suddenly there was a scream from the ward as both the man and Devon looked back
Both looked at each other and Devon. Punched his lights outs
The DA bursted into the ward and found a medical attendant about to place a plant on the fold out table for those admitted into the ward
Neville recognized the plant.
"It's devils snare, but a cutting of it." He said
"Is that important?" Hermione asked
"Very cuttings are very volatile and can kill while normal snare can only maime," Neville said
Devon grit his teeth and made the plant smash into the guys face which strangled him to death,
Devon approached and unfurled his arm to see the dark mark clear as day,
He looked up to Harry
"Check him."
Harry ran over to the other guy and pulled up his sleeve another mark Harry nodded
"It was an assassination attempt." Devon said
"Devon…" bode said in a croaky voice
Devon was next to the unspeakable in an instant,
"I'm here my friend what do you need." Devon said
"To…to tell you…urgency…not much time." He said as his head was flailing around
"He can't focus I doubt he has any mental strength left," Neville said
Just then bode grabbed Devon by the sholders and said clearly
"It…was him…listen to me…the ministry has fallen trust those who you whip wah saw gee do fah guu-." As bods head rolled back and a clear liquid started to seep from his ears…
Bode was dead, the death eater who had him under the imperious curse, turned his brain to mush.
Devon closed his eyes and patted his friend on the hand as he stood up
"Let's get out of there no doubt if what he says is true we will be blamed if we are found." Devon said
The others nodded as they made there way back to the fireplace, and flooded away.
In the ward the place was stilled as no one was alive,
Finally a nurse came in and found the carafe and screamed
"CODE BLACK REPEAT CODE BLACK!" She screamed
Fifteen minutes later auroras were on the scene. Lead by Sirius black. The minister following them wanting to be the first on the scene, to distance herself from fudge and show the wizarding world she was taking this threat seriously.
"What do we have?" She asked as she entered the ward
The investigator's looked up "we just started the investigation madam and have identified the dead." One aroura said
"And?" Amelia asked
The investigator pointed to the farthest body "One, Markus Blint, Two Andrew Rodes. And three Broderick bode." He said
"Broderick bode, where have a heard that name before?" The minister asked
"Department of Mysteries Madam, he was an unspeakable." The investigatior said.
Amelia sighed "alright. Alert those in the department about the death, Mr. Black your in charge of the investigation, I wanna find out exactly what happened."
Sirius nodded as Amilea left
Sirius looked at the body and noticed a ring on his hand as he drew it off his finger and pocketed it before examinators could arrive.
Sirius flooded back to Grimmauld and found the kids chatting at the table
Harry stood up
"Sirius your back!" He said excited
Sirius threw the Druid ring on the table as it slid over to Devon
"Bodes dead." He said
"We know…" Devon said
Sirius blinked
"Wait you…you know?" He asked
Devon nodded as he explained everything
"Well this changes things… badly." He said
After explaining the situation Devon nodded "Sirius you need to inform Amelia to step up Aurora training. The ministry needs to be ready." He said
Sirius sighed "we're running low of staff as it is I don't think we can." He said
"THEN FIND SOMEONE?! If you don't the ministry will fall and the war will be twice as deadly as the first war." Devon said snapping
Sirius sighed "I'll try Devon but it's all hands on deck as it is." He said
Devon nodded "I know." He said Sirius took the floo back to the ministry
Devon sighed and stood up. "The rest of today is your own. Use it as you wish." He said standing up
Harry looked at Devon "where are you going?" He asked Devon turned to Harry
"To get answers." He said as he left.
In his room at Grimmauld place Devon sat on the ground around him was a pentagram drawn in chalk and candles on each corner of the star.
Before him were three items; A Crystal point on a chain and board.
A box wrapped in a deep red cloth.
And a felt bag.
Devon picked up the Crystal point and flipped the board over it was a scrying Pendulum one of the few more accurate ways of telling the future without using the gods.
The less you rely of the gods and pagan practices the less reliable they become.
Of course pagans don't just use one scrying method, they use several and draw out a conclusion based on all the answers they receive.
The question Devon asked
"Is the Wizarding world in danger of Voldemort?"
The answer was simply… yes.
That job done Devon unwrapped the box to reveal a set of tarot cards. He gave himself a reading.
The tarot deck gave him more concise answers as there was more cards to read.
Simply put it would happen before School starts up.
Devon put the tarot cards away and opened his felt bag
Rune stones…
Devon reached in and thought the question.
"Why is the ministry going to be attacked?"
He reached in and pulled one a single stone that felt hot in his hand
The rune…
Peorth… divination…
Voldemort was going after the prophey.
Devon cursed as he stood up there was too much shit to do and apparently not enough time to do it all in."
(Voldemort's HQ)
"Is it ready?" Voldemort asked his followers after a days work.
"The final layers are in place my lord we should be ready to go within the month."
Voldemort hissed "THE MONTH IS TOO LONG WE NEED TO GO NOW! Otherwise we will lose the act of surprise!" He said
"But my lord we haven't even broken into the hall yet." A death eater said
"AVADA KAVADA!" Voldemort snapped killing the death eater.
Voldemort glaired "no one questions me." He said as he glided out of the hall.
"Malfoy I demand access to your library." He said
Lucius stuttered "y-you have it m-my lord."
Voldemort turned around and glaired at him
"Your secret Library Lucius." Voldemort said
Lucius nodded and with a flick of his wand a statue flipped down revealing a button which was pressed
And at Voldemort's feet the carpet gave way to reveal a hidden staircase Voldemort walked down
"Your dismissed!" Voldemort snapped
Everyone at the table gasped as if they had just breathed air for the first time in there life.
Meanwhile Voldemort was on a mission.
Back at the graveyard Harry was able to stand toe to toe with him.
Him the greatest wizard of all time. Was beaten by a meager 5th year.
Something didn't add up
Especially seeing as Harry was able to wandlessly pick up his wand.
The boy was too powerful…
Oh he knew of karmic fate and the balance of destiny and he didn't deny that Harry was his equal. But this…No potter wasn't his equal
He loathed to admit it but Potter, curse the words in his mouth…was his superior…
And that… made no sense…
He scowled the oldest texts he could find in the Malfoy secret library.
Some books were so old they had been out of print for centuries… heck some were even made before the printing press.
Those were the books he was looking for from the time that magic was more mysticism than an art.
A time when magic could move mountains and split seas!
Voldemort took the oldest book he could see and sat down on a chair and began to read.
Devon sighed time was running out and they weren't ready.
Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione were yes but only those 4,
Neville had a good foundation but not the magick skills or the massive backlog of spells he would need for this fight
And Luna wasn't much better.
Nor was Cedric but he was closer
Harry was working with all three of them. But if it's going to be this month or next they have a lot to do.
Hermione and Devon were going over a lot of efforts to make sure that those who were needed were informed. To the point where Hermione made the Protean charm on several galleon's for quick communication.
When they broke for lunch Hermione showed off the new communication method to them which Harry was really impressed with. As was devon 'hail human ingenuity.' Devon said
Cedric who was in contact with much of the DA sent owls with the secret galleon as a "stimulus package" with a hidden key phrase to allow the DA members to know not to spend it. And to report back that they got the coin.
They also set up another non hidden location after all Grimmauld place wouldn't be safe if all the DA arrived. So a new location was devised for this DA meeting over the summer.
It was determined the leaky Cauldron was going to be the place.
In 3 weeks time.
Hermione sent out the spell through the DA coins once she got word from Cedric he got a reply that the coin reached the recipient.
Three weeks later they sat in the leaky Cauldron waiting for the rest of the DA to show up.
They arrived and Tom gave them a private room for them and left to attend other customers
Harry got up and stood by the far end as the DA looked at him Ron Hermione Ginny and Devon sitting at the end of the table with him
"It's been in our information that Voldemort is going to attack the ministry sometimes before the school year starts." Harry said
There was outrage, shock. Horror and confusion.
"What? How!"
"What is he after?"
"Obviously to overthrow it? Did you not read the prophet? There was a mass breakout."
"I highly doubt he's going to be as open as that now." Another said
Harry raised his hands
"Quiet please." Harry said
Suddenly the DA was quiet
"Thank you. Now I'm aware that many of you are worried about the situation or confused as to why it's unfolding. I'll explain it as best as I can however. The issue is that I don't have all the answers. And two much of this information is dangerous as Voldemort himself is a liligimans meaning he can read your mind and probably easier than reading a book. It's something that in the coming weeks leading up to the attack we will work on, so you can stand against Voldemort." Harry said
A hand was raised
"Yes." Harry said
"What is Voldemort after at the ministry?" Cho asked
Harry nodded "it's a prophecy that foretells His downfall. We believe he is going after it to try to figure out a way to counteract it." He said
Suddenly there was a blur of voices as Harry heard one ask.
"What is being done to secure the prophecy?"
Harry sighed
"We have several key agents working in the hall where it is held they will hold the line and defense officially however if they are overwhelmed or the prophecy is threatened to fall into Voldemort's hands we will be contacted and arrive at the ministry to either take back the prophecy… or if necessary destroy it." Harry said
Everyone nodded.
"What can we do now to prepare for this?" Someone asked
Harry nodded "right now learn Occlumency it's a way to protect your mind. And will make it so no information can be learnt from it from Voldemort." Harry said
"Is there anything else we can do?" Someone said
Devon stood up
"Be prepared for action in an instant notice, We will go in first but we may need backup ourselves later." Devon said
With everyone informed of the plan the DA separated and went to there own ways.
(Malfoy mannor)
Voldemort snarled
He combed through every text…every scroll and every spellbook in the manor
Nothing. There was no information at all that could give him insight as to how Harry was able to grow so much. From a magickal lense.
Which meant one thing it wasn't magickal
It was spiritual…
This was bad while many wizards consider Magic and Spiritual magic to be connected. After all everything had a soul Voldemort in his years of study found a fine line between the two.
Some wizards…very powerful wizards were able to mesh the two together. To create powerful spells. Merlin was said to be able to.
However there was one group that was said to Combine or even tap into both sides of magic. Something Modern magic believed to be impossible.
A group long sense hunted and beleaved to be extinct but Voldemort knew it was far from the case
Pagans…
Somehow Harry Potter had a pagan teacher.
And that made Harry Potter Akin to an unstoppable force.
Voldemort had to cut off Harry from his pagan teacher or else he would never win this war.
Voldemort had no way to counter Pagan magicks not easily at least.
"Perhaps the prophecy holds the secret to defeating Potter and his pagan magicks." He said to himself.
( 12 Grimmauld place)
A month has past since the DA meeting. And Harry Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Devon were hard at work.
They had taken over much of the kitchen, fortunately it was massive.
At one half of the table sat a large stack of papers with Devon reading update reports from the druids at the Ministry.
Harry and Ginny were planning all the vectors for assault's where more death eaters would come in. Where DA members would best arrive to make sure they counter them and that they get out alive.
While Ron and Hermione were…well relieving stress.
To be fair on the two, they had done a lot for the war effort. Especially Hermione with the quick way of communication. With the rest of the force
Unfortunately the Order didn't see it like that and on many times had held them away from the meetings and updates on Voldemort's movement's
Harry had argued with Dumbledore about bringing the pensive to 12 Grimmauld place so he was informed with the prophecy.
However every time Dumbledore would somehow "forget" to bring it. Leaving Harry again in the dark.
It came to a head the week of the the attack
"Professor this is the 5th day in which you "forgot" to bring the pensive to allow me to see into the prophecy I need to know what it says if I am to face down Voldemort!" Harry yelled his Voice echoed across the kitchen as the order held there meeting kicking Harry and his friends out for the night this was the fifth time this week it has happened and Harry had reason to believe Albus was purposely sabotaging their war effort.
His theory was all but confirmed with his reply.
"Harry, please do calm down. We are working on our efforts to insure your School year is easy year for you." He said
Harry was livid he was avoiding the question.
Devon stepped forward
"That's not what he was asking Professor." Devon said
Sirius turned to Devon.
"There isn't any reason to be concerned. Voldemort is laying low at the moment. We have plenty of time to prepare. Time we most definitely need." Sirius said
Devon stepped forward
"No there isn't! Voldemort is staging an attack on the ministry by the end of the month! And we cannot let our guard down." Devon said
Albus waved him off.
"An overactive imagination." He said
However Mad eye had to disagree
"Actually Albus I've been getting weird reports of ministry member's not turning up." He said
Albus glared at him before he sent Harry away.
Albus sighed
"Harry isn't ready for this information yet." Albus said
Sirius stood up "YOU'VE BEEN LYING TO HIM?!" He yelled
"Sirius, enough!" Albus said
"No! You listen Harry is the only one who is able to stand against Voldemort! There's a reason Harry was chosen over you to lead the war." He said
Albus turned to Mad eye
"What do the actual reports say?" He asked
Mad eye shrugged "there all silent. We're in the dark here." He said
Albus was concerned Harry was not ready; he wasn't under his control or saw the world his way yet. He needed more time before Harry fought Voldemort again.
Unfortunately he wouldn't get it.
At the ministry. And the hall of prophecy an D.O.M official walked down the hall checking that everything was in place
As he scanned the walls he noticed a bit of movement off to the side
A rat?
He turned and followed sending a patronus for backup as he followed the rat.
The ran ran down the hall picking up speed as he followed it
He saw the rat turn the corner down a row
A dead end.
He had him trapped
He turned the corner to confront the rat
Only to pause.
In the row of prophecy's stood Peter Pettigrew.
Along with Barty crouch Jr. and Bellatrix Lestrange
"Shit." He cursed and he was just able to grip and send a message to a Crystal in his pocket as a green Flash of a solid streak hit him in the chest
He was dead.
The Order meeting had ended and Harry Potter and the DA finally took control of the Kitchen.
Just in time too as Devon got out his stuff to read more reports
As he took out his scrying Ball a Crystal ball Druid agents use to send emergency signals to others quickly
Devon froze the Crystal ball was red
There was danger.
Devon stood up and snapped
"HERMIONE SEND WORD OF THE MINISTRY ATTACK!" He said
Fortunately Harry heard him
"Sirius informs Dumbledore of the attack and tells him we will be at the ministry! Gather the order and be on standby!" Harry said
Sirius nodded and ran out.
"Everyone we are the vanguard! Get to the ministry now!" Harry said as they ran to the floo network.
Harry and the DA arrived to the ministry from the normal Floo in the main hallway.
It was empty.
Harry and the others ran down the hall to get to the department of mysteries as fast as they could
They stopped at the end of the hall and found several Hit wizards and DoM officials talking
The hit wizards turned around
"Hold what are you doing here this place is not allowed officials please turn around now.
"Harry Potter." Harry said with Devon next to him
"STUPIFY!" A voice rang
The hit wizard went flying and hit the other wall
Harry and the others turned to see the DoM official lower his wand.
"The roots of the trees open the path." He said
Harry nodded
"We need access to the prophecy." Harry said
The DoM Druid nodded
"The hall is under lockdown. You will need to retrieve it personally. We will protect you and allow you to gather it." He said
Harry nodded
"Thank you what's your name?" Harry asked
"I'd rather not say for protection." The DoM Druid said
Harry nodded
"You will lead the DoM officials against the death eaters Devon and the rest of the DA will stay with me." Harry said
The DoM offical nodded
"May nature show you the way." He said
Harry nodded as the DoM official opened the door. And announced
"There has been a breech on the premise All DoM officials are to make there way to the hall of prophecy's immediately!"
"How many DoM officials are Druids?" Harry asked
"About 80% we are the only active Sect of Druids recruiting and preparing for the war majorly." He said
"That has changed now. The monastery is preparing for war as well." Devon said
The DoM offical nodded
"Do we have any word about the monastary?" He asked
Devon shook his head
"No we can assume they are caught up on there own problems and cannot help us." Devon nodded
The DoM offical nodded
Suddenly down the hall more officials arrived
"They are trapped in the hall of prophecy… who is this?" An offical asked
"This is Harry Potter he's here to help."
"What is he doing here?" The offical said as two other officials pulled him aside and another stepped forward
"What shall we do for you Mr. potter?" He asked
"Lead me to the prophecy." Harry said
He looked to the others following Harry
"You as well?" He asked
Ron stepped forward
"Where Harry goes we go." He said
The Druid nodded "follow me."
As the Druid led Harry and the Da down the hall both the DoM offical and Devon were getting exceedingly worried something Harry caught up on.
"What is it?" Harry asked
"I don't like the quiet…" devon said
Harry nodded
"Devon flank around keep close but I want to be ready incase of an ambush." He said
Devon nodded and split off.
The group reached the prophecy as Harry stood before it
"This the one?" Harry asked
The DoM official nodded.
"Well well well. Isn't this a pretty party?" A voice said
Harry turned to see the top three of Voldemort's Most capable and loyal death eaters standing to the side as others joined them, notably Lucius Malfoy. Rookwood. And others in masks.
"Thank you for joining us Mr. Potter… it seems…you are capable of following directions." Lucius said as another death eater held a wand to the DoM official
"Give us the prophecy…"
Ginny turned "HARRY DON'T!" She yelled
"SILENCE!" Lucius snapped and Bellatrix pointed her wand at Neville and other death eaters pointed there wands at the rest of the DA.
Ron looked from Hermione and the wand at her neck as she stood frozen in fear.
"Harry…" Ron warned
Harry looked at Ron and look a bit up…
"Trust me…" he said
Ron nodded after a minute
However Harry didn't see him
He wasn't looking at Ron…
But past him…to Devon
The Druid hidden in the shadows nodded
Harry knowing he had his trust grabbed onto the prophecy with the intent to lift the Orb from its stand
However Harry's vision went immediately into a haze of clouds and he began falling
A voice echoed in his head.
"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... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..."
Harry was pulled back to reality and threw himself back nearly slamming into the other Shelf as he cleared his head
"Ugh!" He groaned as he looked to his head and saw the prophecy in his hand
It looked like a swirling cloud, like that he was falling through before…
However he noticed it clear up…as if the prophecy had no use anymore and was spent.
Lucius stepped forward eagerly holding out his hand…
"Yes Harry…give it to me." He said with a smile
"No Harry don't do it?!" Ginny yelled as Lucius held tighter to Ginny
"I'LL KILL HER RIGHT NOW!" Lucius yelled
Harry and Ginny froze knowing how dangerous it would have been if that happened.
Harry looked at Ginny in the eye
And as if they were silently communicating Ginny stopped struggling.
Harry held out his hand towards Malfoy who was still several steps away.
"You want this Malfoy?" Harry asked
Then Harry tipped his hand over
Malfoy hissed and he lunged towards the falling object
Harry snapped his hand up at Malfoy
"RETRO!" Harry snapped and as if pulled by strings Malfoy flew back away from Ginny and the prophecy
The other death eaters snarled and we're prepared to cast the killing curse when they too were sent flying
As dark material grew out of Harry looking at the death eaters threatening his friends.
The prophecy smashed on the ground and shattered to bits
"Run!" Harry yelled
The DA listened as they bolted down the hall the Druid following
The Death eaters getting up and Bellatrix cast a killing curse at Harry
Only to me met by a shield which overpowered the shield but stopped it for a time nonetheless
Before it was ultimately intercepted by another orb which filled the room with green throwing everything to the floor except Devon as everyone was hit with the radiation effect of the killing cure but not enough to kill them (yet) as the orb shattered.
The other death eaters looked up to see Devon standing there holding onto his staff.
"You bastard!" Lucius snarled and threw a spell at Devon who fled.
The other death eaters chased after the DA and the DoM.
Down the hall Harry looked back at them chasing as they flew Killing curses
"Duck!" Harry snapped
Everyone did so as Harry snapped his hand making the curse veer off and hit another orb bathing everyone in radiation before it shattered
"Use the Orbs to block the curse!" Harry snapped
"But the prophecy's?!" Hermione asked
"Do it there spares anyway!" The DoM snapped as he started to throw Crystal balls at the death eaters!
At the end of the hall two DoM officials were standing by a door.
"In here go go go!" They said
Harry and the others charged as they flew past the door Devon following last as the two DoM officials sent killing curses at two masked death eaters killing them
The others Were able to kill the ones by the door and followed them.
Harry and the others fell but were saved by the last second by nothing
As they stood up death eaters glided down and landed next to them calmly some smashing into the floor cracking it.
"You've made a mistake messing with us!" Lucius snarled
"Reductio!" Harry snapped before Malfoy was finished
"STAND AND FIGHT!" Harry roared
Devon slammed his staff on the ground before doing it twice more.
A sentiment the Rest of the DoM copied
Lucius snarled as the death eaters looked around and noticed they were surrounded.
"What is this?!" He snarled
Harry looked at his hands and noticed they began to glow
"I…I feel lighter…" Neville said
"I feel like I can run a mile." Cedric said
"Or fight a mountain troll." Ron said
Hermione looked to her Boyfriend skeptical "you fought a mountain troll." She said
"your cheap tricks won't save you?!" Lucius snarled and flung a killing curse at Harry
Snap!
Harry snapped his fingers and the spell halted in humid air the pounding kept going
Harry walked around the spell his smile growing wider and wider by the second…
"Battle meditation…" he said in almost reverence
"Fucking battle meditation!" Harry said excited before he snapped his fingers again and the flew it path…right into the death veil
Lucius looked horrified as Harry and his cohorts fired spells at the death eaters all of which fought to a draw.
Lucius however was a bit more skilled and was able to disarm Harry with the help of Bellatrix and send him to the ground making the entire battle pause. Who was standing off to the side
Lucius however was still careful knowing how powerful of a threat Harry was as he stood above him
Bellatrix however had no idea and was enraged In Lucius's inability to kill him
"KILL HIM!" She roared
Lucius looked up at her before looking down at Harry and raised his wand
Then a loud snap was heard behind Malfoy
He turns around
And Sirius Black was there with a large amount of Aurora's.
" don't you touch my godson." He said as he smacked Lucius in the face.
"AVADA KAVADA!" Bellatrix snapped at Sirius
However Harry got there first
"SIRIUS!" He yelled
Harry grabbed the spell in his hands making everyone scream in fear of the boys demise
Especially when he went slamming into the wall.
Bella laughed
Until Sirius fired a killing cute back at her.
Bella was stunned. More than that scared
Hec everyone was. The entire world believed Sirius black was a murderer for 13 long years now to see him willing to kill in cold blood
It almost made others wonder…we're they justified in there fear.
Bella was about to stand at her full hight…
When another green bolt hit the tile next to her head.
A tile not thrown from Sirius.
The entire room followed the spells path
To the corpse of Harry Potter…
Breathing…
Harry smiled and coughed
"Let me tell you…never am going to get use to that recoil of catching that spell." He said
"Harry!" Sirius screamed in joy!
"What?!" Bella screamed in horror
But was drowned out at the pounding began again
This time engulfing the DA and the Arouras.
"What is this?" Tonks asked Mad eye
"I've got no idea?" Her mentor said
"Battle meditation. An ancient pagan art." Harry explained.
"Give up Bella…you've lost!…but don't worry…we'll give you a nice front row seat of Toms defeat and a nice watershed view that will be good for your wrinkles." Harry taunted
The death eaters started to fight back this time fighting desperately to escape.
As many of the Auroras fired spells at Bellatrix they all missed
Only Sirius had any sense of who her target really was
Harry.
"Get down!" He screamed to Harry as he tackled him and Bella flew past him landing and running down the hall.
Sirius looked up to see Harry was safe.
"Get out of here. You and the DA did great let us mop up."
Harry nodded
"Be careful." He said
Sirius winked "always." He said as he stood up
Harry looked over
"Ron Hermione Neville let's go!" Harry yelledcknowing if he called those named the rest of the DA would follow
And follow they did
Sirius covering their escape.
"Fucking beaten by 14/15 year olds what are you pansys or arouras?!" Mad eye snarled
(Eoc)
