Chapter 7- the new darkness of 2nd year part 2

By the time the party reached the highest point of the even, we find Dumbledore charging threw the catacombs of the palace belonging to Shao Kahn, he was pouring every bit of magic threw his legs, in order to move at max speed and level by level he realized that portals only open on ground level, rather than the sub-basement levels.

Meanwhile back at the Longbottom Estate, Harry and Neville were enjoying their Birthdays threw games like: Quidditch, chess (Ron), a wizarding version of Pictionary, a wizarding version of truth or dare (which got Harry kissing Ginny a lot longer than was necessary) and e.t.c. their fun was interrupted by the adults, whom called them in for the birthday lunch, though at the word, 'lunch,' Ron was nothing more than an afterimage, as sped for the table and began helping himself to 10 steaks, 5 roasted spuds, 3 roasted carrots, 1 roasted pumpkin and a float of gravy, before picking up his shovel- err knife and fork, and dug in, much to the protest of his mother.

With lunch being the usual fan fair of the Weasley variety, adding in Hermione, the Longbottoms and the Zhangs, which included: talking with their mouth full (save some though) and dessert on the horizon. Before long the dessert course had arrived and Molly, had being incharge of making the cakes, which were huge with Harry's cake being a whole Quidditch field, complete with an animated crowd do the wave and mini figures flying around the field avoiding the even minier bludges, while Neville's look like the tree Yddrasil, as it was animated to react to the wind.

After the cake, the adults decided it was time to wrap up the party and get the kids ready for Hogwarts, so with that, Harry and the Zhangs left the Longbottom estate for the Lin Kuei temple, while the Weasleys and Hermione headed for the Burrow, as Molly wanted her kids to be home before they headed for Hogwarts. Now in the courtyard of the Outworld palace 2 hours later, Dumbledore had successfully snuck pass the guards, under and invisibility charms, before heading threw an archway that was signed: [Earthrealm portal room ahead – 2 miles.] and proceeded to the portal area, where he dived threw.

Time skip half a month:

It was weeks after Harrys and Nevilles birthday, where we find Harry Potter working on an advance Kata of the Lin Kuei, where it was designed to deal devastingly powerful and cold hit to an opponent, by channel ice chakra as an energy form rather than as snow, frost or ice and directing it into their own fists or feet, the kata itself looked as if it were a dance, well it kinda was since the style is loosely based on Tai Chi, which was also based on a dance (A.N. I got no clue which, since I don't dance) and Capoeira, which is just a combat version of break dancing. While Harry was working on his Katas, Remus and Sirius were sparring themselves, though Sirius wasn't going as well as Remus, since he had only landed 3 hits on Remus, whom had landed 7 on Sirius, and at the Burrow, Ron had a headache, this headache was female, she had a name and her name was: Hermione Granger, why was she Rons headache, well he hadn't even finished the first piece of homework he had started and with two weeks left until they were due to return, meant that Ron wouldn't even be-able to finish all of his work before term commences.

In the Lin Kuei temple a week later, Harry was still working on his Katas and had mastered: Ice Fist, Twin Ice Strikes and Ice Dragon Tail. Meanwhile, earlier in Australia, Wizarding Melbourne an Outworld portal opened and spat out an elderly man with dirty silver hair, beard and tattered fuchsia robe, in a heap, which earnt him a broken tail bone and after a while of getting his bearings, healing his ass and standing up, the man known as Dumbledore headed off to acquire a means of returning to London and his loyal pawns (not knowing that they've been made aware of his transgressions).

Back with Harry, who're just joined by Steven and Jade for their Mortal Kombat training, when Harry had launched an attack with his swords, which bifurcated his training dummy and left them all with a fine-but thick layer of ice over the 'wounds,' this attack technique is called: Dancing Fang of the Ice Dragon, and Harry had just properly learnt/perfected how to execute the move, but though he had still a long road ahead before he'd master it, as it requires an insane amount of focus to perform, so as a 12 year old Harry is still a child.

Time skip and location:

After 2 weeks in Australia, Dumbledore had finally managed to purchase a portkey to London from a black-market seller, which infuriating him, because when he went to the Australian Minstry of Magical Affairs, his request had been denied due to something along the lines of him being a criminal and that when it was discovered caused him to run from the minstry, before their Aurors were able to arrest him.

Now in England, around about the same time had passed (give or take a few days) and Harry, along with the Weasleys and Hermione were now packing their clothes into the expanded boot of Arthurs Ford Anglia, ready for their next/first years of Hogwarts, as quick as they could so they weren't late. Then after 3 failed attempts, the whole entourage had made it to the station with literally 10 minutes to spare.

In the mean time, while Harry and his friends were getting settled in their compartment for the trip to Hogwarts, Dumbledore had made it to the approximate local of his manor via his illegal portkey (that is the thing with black market portkeys, they're ones pre-made but weren't used), but he didn't stay in the area long after that, for had simply spun on his heel and disappeared in a loud, "SNAP," leaving his spot, for the spot of his potion laboratory, where he immediately searched for his most needed potion ingredient and prepared them for his potions, the first: liquid Imperious, 3 diced stalks of Oni willow berries (A.N. I don't care if real willows are fruit bearing trees), 5 shredded silver winged fairy wings, 7 crushed fangs of a queen vampire (In my opinion vampires should have mind control abilities) and 2 pinches of dried Basilisk Heart powder, mixed in a 100milliltres of lava filter spring water, which is boiling at 50 degrees Celsius, stirring anticlockwise for 2 minutes, then for 4 minutes stirring clockwise. After the final 4 minutes, Dumbledore had to let the potion simmer over for it to be effective, and then began preparing the remaining potions: Liquid mind eraser and Liquid power suppressors.

Back with Harry, as he and his Friends arrived at Hogsmeade station, greeted Hagrid and left Ginny to head towards Hogwarts by boat, while the rest climbed into carriages and headed for Hogwarts themselves.

Time skip the sorting (with Ginny sorted into Gryffindor) and beginning of school speech:

Dinner time in school was a fun filled affair of: talking to Friends they don't see over the holidays, their years of study and other interest in general. While back in Dumbledore manor, its owner Albus stated the final preparations for the last potion he was brewing: Liquid Power suppressors, as he added in the last ingredient; ¼ of crystallized Dementor aura powder.

Then back at the castle, as Harry and Ginny spend what was left the night before curfew, refreshing their memories on their classes and with Snape being replaced by Potion Master Ian Phoenix, Harry was looking forward to a new year without Snape blaitent biasism, 1 hour later Percy joined them in reading himself but reminder them that, their curfew was at 9:00pm. Awaking earlier the next day, Harry headed down the stairs to the common room, where he met with 2 other early risers: Hermione and Ginny (whom after great pain trained herself to wake up earlier), then they headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

Hours after leaving the common room, Harry, Hermione and Ginny found themselves in the Great Hall, where all the Ravenclaws and Owl students, along with NEWT students, were waiting impatiently for their time tables for this year of school (having had their fill of breakfast items), walking to where Gryffindor table was, they sat down and served themselves, a hearty and nutritional breakfast of: Sausages, bacon, eggs, toast and their preferred juice/coffee/tea. After awhile, the less than enthusiastic students joined their classmates and served themselves their own breakfast, before the extremely slack and teary eyed students showed up with Ron at the wheel, though the one at the wheel continued to change, before Ron made to his seat and gave himself the equivalent of seven helping of: steak, sausages, bacon, ham, chicken sausages and just brought an entire picture of Pumpkin juice towards him, before non-cantently, stuffing his mouth with everything it could fit into it.

While Ron was still busy stuffing his face with food, the new head of Gryffindor house: Remus Lupin began to hand out Gryffindors time table (with him handing Rons to Hermione). Not long after the schedules were released, did the students wait before headed to their first classes, with the second year Gryffindors head for Potions class, in the Dungeon.

Final time skips, 4 months & to end of year exams:

After four months of classes, Harry and his friends began to stockpile quite a bit of homework, while some like Harry, Ginny and Hermione completing the work immediately after their teachers had assigned the tasks, with Neville and the twins occasionally joining the study party, Ron however flat out refused to even start, thinking that as his friends, they'd would allow him to simply copy off them. Then before long came the weeks of the midyear exams, where Minerva thought it best to test them and then head for the graduation exams at years end. Then as the year came to a close, Harry and his friend studied threw an un-eventful rest of year, before beginning their last test for the year, still not knowing the lurking darkness.
