Authors Note: Guys sorry for delay and short chapter. I fell ill. But this is a short and action filled chapter. I promise a long chapter in three days time. Please read and review. I want some reviews. Sometimes Harry acts based on emotions rather than logic. This is to show he is not flawless. He may be ancient but he is not above human emotions. I already made him IMMORTAL. I don't plan on making him INVINCIBLE too. So he has some flaws. HE WILL GROW OUT OF THEM. Next few chapters will have slight lemon :) As usual enjoy and please REVIEW
Last Time: McGonagall looked at Harry who said "Queen to Queen eight, discover check and incidentally mateā¦."
McGonagall sighed, she knew though Harry was not showing he was thinking how to handle the situation. In the two months after the chamber fiasco she has grown fond of the boy and Patil children and loved them like her grandchildren. She knew about their wits and knew they were perfectly capable of handling this. Few times she and Flitwick dueled them she saw the kid's were holding back and was still mopping the floor with them. She had seen their skill in chamber and later and just had one question, 'how powerful are they?'
Harry brought her out of her thoughts when he said in a voice which held power and command "Professor McGonagall inform aurors. Professor Sprout you need to call St. Mungos, and tell them to send healers and potions. They are to apparate to main gate and go to Hospital wing. Floo network will be closed. Go now, quick."
McGonagall asked "Why not use Floo?"
Harry said "I will explain. First give the message."
He then turned to professor Flitwick and asked "Where the hell is Headmaster?"
Flitwick frowned and said "he apparently has a meeting with Alex Rawthorn."
Harry was dumb struck. He quickly assessed the situation and said "Professor Flitwick please go to Dumbledore's office and wait for him. If he comes unaccompanied by any professor stun him and bind him."
Everyone except the kids was shocked and protesting when Harry said "Trust me. I can't explain now but I will do once we get out of this mess."
Flitwick trusted his student and left to Dumbledore's office when Snape burst in shouting "Minerva, we need to go. There is a attack on Hogsmeade."
Harry coolly replied "Calm down Professor. Professor McGonagall is already contacting aurors and I told professor Sprout to contact St. Mungos. We will be leaving once they come back to assist in the fight."
Snape looked shocked for a moment before he realized that he was talking to a person who took down thirty deatheaters single handedly without getting a scratch and was a member who is about to be awarded order of Merlin.
He said "will you be helping?"
Harry nodded and said "Me and my friends here are well prepared to handle such tight situations. The chamber is an example. We will take care of dragons first. They posses maximum threat and need to be eliminated to reduce toll of death and injured."
As Harry was planning basic outline of his plan, McGonagall and Sprout burst in. McGonagall said "the auror forces will be here as soon as possible but for some reason most are on leave today."
Harry simply nodded and said "as I expected."
Sprout said "Healers will be here any moment."
Harry said "Professor close the Floo network to Hogwarts. If deatheaters will get inside we will be caught in middle and they will open fire. Moreover there are students inside the castle. Students will come only through secret passages so even the Main gate is to stay closed. Hogwarts wards are strong enough to hold them from apparateing inside."
McGonagall nodded in understanding. Harry then turned to Snape and said "Professor as much as I want you to come to Hogsmeade we cant leave the school completely unprotected. If by any chance our defenses are breached and the enemy enters the castle we need some one to stop them. Please get as many capable hands as you can get and guard the secret passage way entrances. You know them best."
Snape admired the kid before him. No one he knew, not even Dumbledore was capable of such quick thinking and battle strategies. He was covering every prospect of defense first. Snape knew very well that 'that a good defense is powerful offense' so he nodded and went to gather few upper years from Slytherin and Ravenclaw whom he knew to duel well from the club. He had only one question 'why the hell did Dumbledore vanish at times like this?'
As Snape left he turned to his friends and nodded. Everyone removed a small silver box from their robes, which was of size of a match box and enlarged it. When McGonagall saw what was in it her mind was blown away. Inside was the finest battle armor and weapons she has ever seen. It was made of skin of white Ragefang and had several layers rendering it impervious to any spells and physical attacks. With a flick of their wands all four children were dressed in their armor and McGonagall felt like she was seeing four angels.
Harry and Praveen were wearing powerful guards and were looking like feral warriors. They had swords seethed to their waists and had pouches which McGonagall guessed had emergency kits. Padma and Parvati were no different but they were much tightly draped and didn't have long robes like the boys. All the four possessed an aura of power.
Harry called for Emma who came in a burst of flames. He turned to McGonagall and said "Are you coming professor?" bringing her out of her daze. She held on to hand of her student and was engulfed in flames.
Hogsmeade:
James Potter was sitting with his family and best friend, Sirius Black. He took permission from Dumbledore to take Rose and Dan along and all of them were now in 'three broomsticks' drinking butter beer. James was thinking to take up transfiguration for third years, next year so that he can knock that brat by few pegs. They now had a trial to face in summer. He was shocked at the boy's guts and his former boss's support. What were they playing at? He was lord potter. Albus is chief warlock. There is no way their case would stand. Little did James know that he was facing a person who outclassed them by light-years'.
As James was buried in his thoughts he heard a loud bang and screams. He ran out to see no less than five Dragons spewing flames from above. Deatheaters were coming at full force and he knew there were at least a hundred. He immediately sent Patronus to Minerva when he saw that all communication was blocked. For first time he felt for leaving Harry behind.
Dan saw what was happening and started to panic. There were death eaters and there were Dragons and his dad looked scared. He looked at his mum but she was looking pale too. But then he noticed his dad taking command and all the teachers and some shop keepers were fighting death eaters. But they were in no way a match for a hundred deatheaters and five dragons.
As the teachers were fighting Deatheaters a Hungarian Horntail flew by and spewed hot flames on Zonkos which was on fire. Dan and Rose were guarding each others backs and were going to Madam Rosemerta's to floo to Hogwarts. As they reached they heard students screaming that floo was not working.
James Potter knew there was no way they will survive this. He didn't understand why deatheaters were not going on full spree and why Dragons were just attacking occasionally. He was thanking his stars that they were given some time.
As Harry flamed to Hogsmeade the sight which greeted his eyes made him see red. His allies were being attacked. He immediately took charge.
Turning to McGonagall he said "Professor, take all the students through secret passages. Take help of Professor Potter. Don't worry about any one attacking. Parvati and Padma will accompany you."
He then turned towards his girlfriends and said "Pad I want you both to keep students safe from those rogues. Heal minor injuries. Once everyone is through those passages come and join us."
At this both the girls and McGonagall nodded and left to gather the students. Harry turned to Praveen and said "Ready to take down few dragons mate?"
Praveen asked "Harry cant you talk to them in parsel. May be we can save them?"
Harry nodded sadly in negative and said "Those Dragons were bred in captivity and bonded. They will be forced to listen to their masters and upon the masters death they will go on attacking spree. As much as it pains me to do this, we don't have a choice. They need to be put down."
Praveen said "Fine. I am Pulling Lightening then."
Harry smiled. He knew the dragons can't stand the high voltage. They were resistant to magic and that made them very weak against electricity. He knew what Praveen was capable of and gave thumbs up.
Praveen immediately extended his wand into staff and started long chant. Harry stood guard and was blocking spells and was a stunning Death eater coming their way. In less than a minute the sky darkened and became filled with thick clouds. It felt like darkness was upon them and everyone was scared at what was happening.
Soon the first bolt struck the Horntail flying high and it fell far away dead. Everyone gaped at the dragon put down that way. The second bolt struck the second horntail and it collapsed on Madam Puddifoot's tea shop. Luckily none of students were injured as they were already carried to Hogs Head which was well guarded and students were being sent to shrieking shack and through passage way.
The third bolt took down the Norwegian Ridgeback and it was moving fast towards Shack. Harry with a flick of a wand sent it towards deatheaters who were heading that way crushing them.
As Praveen put down last two Hebridean Black's they landed un ceremoniously on Honeydukes and 'Devrish and Banges'. Harry and Praveen then started trading spells with deatheaters swiftly stunning them or taking their wand arms using paralysis and binding them magically.
Harry and Praveen were standing back to back. They were surrounded by some ten death eaters who started laughing. Harry started casting and Praveen followed. He was casting powerful stunners and bombardment curses. Harry then used lightening spell to take down three death eaters. As they were about to move further into battle Harry saw one of death eater cast a powerful cutting curse taking Roger Davis's arm. Roger lost his wand arm and fell to ground in pain.
Harry saw red at such a close friend of his being attacked. He decided to end this with as much as little blood from their side. He saw still some students trapped and some were severely injured.
As he was joined by Padma and Parvati he cast sonorous and said "Deatheaters this is your last chance. Leave now and your lives will be spared. Stay and I will not be responsible for my actions."
Most of the deatheaters laughed. Harry grinned towards his friends who had same grins. In unison they waved their wands thinking 'sieve murico'. In a swift wave of wind more than a hundred transparent swords were formed revolving around the four at such speed they formed a barrier. Then four swords flew outwards beheading four deatheaters instantly. The instant the swords left the pile new ones replaced them. As Harry, Praveen, Padma and Parvati started walking forward in unison one by one deatheaters fell prey to the transparent swords. No shield could stop the swords and deatheaters didn't have enough time to conjure solid blocks to block the swords.
Deatheaters were sending flurry of curses just to impact with swirling swords and rebound. It took nearly four or five curses to destroy one blade and before anyone manages it another replaced it. Even killing curses were in effective in piercing the shield of swords.
Everyone who watched the show was awe struck. Four second years have taken down more than thirty death eaters and five Dragons. Everyone knew not to mess with them.
As Harry walked to Roger he saw the boy slowly gaining consciousness and healed his hand. He thanked Harry profusely before he left to help others. Soon people were thanking him and Aurors arrived. Seeing the mutilated bodies of Deatheaters Frank Longbottom asked "Who did this?"
Harry replied "We did this Auror Longbottom."
Frank paled slightly but continued "I will need your statement. Though killing in self defense is not wrong I will need to file official statement." Harry knew this and nodded.
As Harry finished his statement Dumbledore arrived and was shocked at the scene before him. He asked James "What happened here?" When James told how they were attacked and how Harry and Patil's have fought he paled.
He thought 'The Patil boy holds huge powers. He can be a asset along with the girls. They must be training Harry in combat and his skills must be helping him a lot. If what James says is true they can be effectively used in coming war. I need to find a way to steal Harry's magic and give it to Dan and Rose. From what the people are talking he is incredibly powerful and it will be a huge boost."
As they reached Hogwarts Harry straight ahead went to Dumbledore's office along with Patil's and McGonagall. The sight there shocked everyone except Harry and his friends. Dumbledore was found stunned and bound in his chair. Flitwick looked at the standing Dumbledore and one he stunned according to Harry's plan and was shocked. He thought he would go insane. Harry simply smiled and said "I believe explanations are in order."
McGonagall was watching her jaws gaping open. The kid has deduced the finer elements of enemy's plan and stopped it effectively. She thought she knew the Kids but what she thought today made her rethink it. They killed and felt no remorse. They just cut the heads off the Deatheaters. She was shocked. Never in her life has she seen some one fighting like them. The perfect harmony, unison even the best auror squad can't have their movements so synchronized. She knew at once that Albus Dumbledore was making a big mistake by making an enemy out of Harry. After today she had no doubt if faced off in a duel Harry will kill Dumbledore. She shuddered at the thought. May be she can talk some sense into that old head. She had to try.
Snape looked dumb folded. Not only has this kid saved the day he also had saved the school by thinking ahead. How he knew about impersonation was beyond Snape's logic. But he knew the kid was responsible for Flitwick's actions.
As everyone settled down Harry spoke up "Professor Snape please get the vetraserum. I will explain once I confirm my theories."
Snape nodded and summoned the vetraserum. They only waited for a few minutes when the fake Dumbledore morphed back into 'Carringer Baldiwald' an escaped deatheater in past. Harry smiled and asked "What is your name?"
The deatheater replied "Carringer Baldiwald"
Harry smiled and said "Do you work for Lestrange?"
Baldiwald said "Yes."
"Did you come for Tom Riddles Diary?"
Deatheater simply said "Yes."
When Dumbledore was about to ask where their master was Harry cut him off nodding not to interfere. Dumbledore trusted the wits of kid and kept numb. Soon Alastor Mad-eye Moody came through the reactivated floo along with some aurors to take the culprit.
Harry looked towards moody for few seconds before he smiled and continued the explanation. He started "First when we got the patronus I thought it was an attack. But the last part caught me off. If there were five dragons they must have attacked and destroyed whole town by then. But then Professor Potter asked to call for aurors knowing it takes time for them to react. So it meant the deatheaters were toying and not fighting like usual. Then there was absence of headmaster and recently we stopped a basilisk and caught a Dairy."
"As you may have noted I purposefully asked the destruction of dairy to be kept a secret. So why attack now and as far as I know Alex Rawthorn was not in country from past few months. So how did he write to Dumbledore to meet him on the very day of attack?"
"It was clear that they wanted him away from his office and to steal the diary. The question was, when is a attack not a attack? Answer is 'when it's a diversion.' So I asked Professor Flitwick to go to headmaster's office and stun him as soon as he returns for I know Dumbledore prefers to apparate and will come through main gate. So he will definitely notice the situation and stay back to help."
As Harry finished everyone nodded. Dumbledore was amazed at the kid and thought "How come he is not chosen one. I need to go through prophesy once again."
Once the explanations were given Moody dragged the culprit out of main door. Once outside the gate the culprit snatched the aurors wand and apparated. Moody smiled and started walking back to castle.
As everyone was horrified at the looks Moody smiled at Harry and said "It worked."
End Note :Guys Next chapter has some serious action too. I hope you forgive me for short chapter
