Harry shimmered briefly holding Cedric by the arm as they returned to Hogwarts. With the snap of his fingers the world resumed from its pause.

His voice boomed across the platform with a resonance not heard since Mount Olympus had been abandoned. His eyes glowed with a golden light as he gazed upon the crowd.

"The Darkness ends now! Lord Voldemort and his followers are no more. All that remains is the memory of their existence as a warning not to follow their path. Dumbledore has been sent to his reward, where he shall receive the adulation he deserves. All who dared to follow the path of darkness are urged to turn away and rejoin the light. So I say it, So shall it be!"

A thunderous bolt of lightning rent the air upon the last words of his proclamation. When everyone had managed to regain their sight he was no longer standing on the platform. A few people in the crowd realized that Hermione Granger was no longer standing nervously among them either.

"Harry Where are we? What happened to you?"

"Where are we? For now we stand at the top of Mount Snowden. I was thinking of building our palace here. As for what happened I am the chosen one, Hermione. I am the one who shall bring the balance to the world. I shall put right all that is wrong."

Frowning Hermione looked into his eyes, "What do you want with me?"

"A king needs his queen. I see into your soul Hermione. With your wisdom and intelligence we can turn this world into a utopia. Join me. Together we shall rule with a firm yet benevolent hand."

Hermione bit her lip as she considered his offer. Far overhead in a dimensional reality that shared with the world laughingly calling itself reality two beings watched.

The embodiment of light turned to the embodiment of darkness. "The test shall begin now. He has been given the power." The golden woman smiled magnificently.

"We shall see. The year has not passed yet. The fall of mankind may yet still come."

The two beings turned their attentions back upon the teens as Hermione knelt before her King glowing brightly.
