Demigod Teachers
The Underworld
Souls were spread across the entire area as Nico, Hazel and Severus walked through the fields of Punishment, The three of them tried to not look at any of the soles that they were passing; after all they were being punished for all of eternity after all.
Hazel held onto her sword tightly as she followed her older brother, Severus on the other hand was using his wand to illuminate the path ahead so that Nico didn't didn't fall into a ditch.
Breathing slowly Hazel asked "Remind me again why the three of us are looking for Riddle's mom?"
Severus sighed "I would also like to be reminded, how can she help us with RIddle"
Putting his hand up and coming to a complete halt, Nico finally said "Her punishment was to watch how her mistakes ruined the life of her son"
Severus and Hazel looked between themselves "And?!"
Nico laughed "She can tell us the general locations of where his soul is and add in WIll's plan to deal with Mr Potter's soul and we can deliver a killing blow to him all at once…then we can deal with….the Pit."
The three of them shuddered and it felt like the underworld managed to get colder somehow. They carried on walking through the fields for another half an hour before coming to a stop in front of a large Iris Message with a woman strapped to a chair of fire watching the IM as she sobbed but not from pain but anguish.
Nico made his sword appear in his hand and slashed it through the Iris Message and said camly "Merope Riddle, we need to talk to you."
Hogwarts
THe two blades clashed against each other, "You won't win Daphne, I know how to fight with a Xiphos better than you do"
The Greengrass heir huffed as she stopped her current attack and dodged out the way of a spinning attack by Draco, "Don't underestimate me so on Apollo. You may know how to use this sqord but I'm a Roman, we adapt!"
Daphne blocked of his next attacks before sliding her blade so it was right against his hilt and twisted her sword as hard as she possible could; the sword bursting out of Draco's grip as a searing pain went up his wrist, a clatter of metal hitting the cold ground floor being the only noise made aside from his heavy breathing.
Looking up at his close friend, Draco told her "Well Done Daphne, that was a good fight."
The Blond smiled and grabbed the young man's sword for him "It was, we need to duel again soon. There's always something better about fighting another person over fighting a dummy or a monster."
The two of them started to discuss each other's flaws when suddenly a large amount of ice cold watcher crashed down on top of them making draco scream his lungs out "Ahhhhhhhh! What in the name of the pit was that!"
The Two of them turned their heads sharply to find Tracey rolling on the ground laughing "HA-HA-HA, you were so oblivious, I didn't think I would actually be able to do it" The two fo them glared at her hard.
After a couple minutes she stood up rolling her eyes, "Oh cheer up you two, You look like someone killed your owl."
All Daphne could reply was "Not cool Trace, not Cool." making the other girl roll her eyes again.
Draco watched Tracey as she went to grab her bag and asked "Hey where are you going? We still have more training to do, remember?!"
Staring at her fellow SLytherin she just painly asked "You haven't forgotten that we agreed to meet up with Harry and the Gryffindor's tonight right? They said they had an update from Sirius"
The Other two's eyes widened and they rushed for their bags before following Tracey out of Professor Jackson's classroom, Draco really felt like he was getting a single break at the moment. As they walked towards the library he couldn't help but wonder why it had taken Sirius so long to contact them, he hadn't even sent them a letter saying that he was still on the run, he had been getting worried that he had been recaptured.
Suddenly they were stopped by a kind, elderly voice "Mr Malfoy, Miss Davies, Miss Greengrass. Can I ask you why you were coming out of Professor Jackson's office when he isn't even in the castle right now."
The "Silver Trio" as they had once been called; turned around to find Professor Dumbledore standing behind them with a jolly smile on his face. Draco stepped forwards towards the headmaster and said "We weren't breaking in, Professor Dumbledore! Professor Jackson left the room open for us to do our normal training, the room is locked now."
The elderly man laughed "Don't worry Mr Malfoy, you're not in trouble, I just wanted to see your reaction. Hurry along now, it's getting late."
Giving him their farewells, the three of them made their way towards the library in a hurry, hoping that they wouldn't be too late for the others.
Unknown- The Primordial Realm
He watched the dead demi-titan move her chess piece elegantly before chuckling "You really think that you can beat me with such a pathetic move! This will be easier than I thought!"
Grabbing his Bishop of Darkness, he moved it along the way knocking one of the Pawns of Light off the board. Not even bothering to look at the daughter of Atlas, he spoke even deeper "I wasn't planning on making such a big move so early on but You're making this soooo easy"
"Am I now?"
The daughter of Atlas sounded unimpressed which infuriated him, "I JUST MADE A MOVE THAT WILL DECIMATE THE LIGHT AND THE PATHETIC DEMIGODS THAT YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT! YOU HAVE LOST! JACKSON SHALL BE KILLED BY YOUR PRECIOUS BLADE AS I MELT IT DOWN TO NOTHING!"
Suddenly another voice broke through "Wow, are all Primdorals this cocky?"
Tartarus twisted his body to see a young girl radiating godly energy in a hunters outfit walk up to the daughter of , "The Fallen daughter of Hades, how did you get here"
The daughter of Atlas smiled "Now Tartarus, you're a primordial, old as the universe, it seems a bit unfair that I have to go against you all on my own."
Enraged, He summoned his sword to him and slammed it into the ground "YOU CHEATED"
Both rolled their eyes at him and the daughter of Atlas responded "Hardly, I just twisted the rules to make this game ever so slightly fairer."
A Growl escaped his throat but he let his sword vanish as the daughter of Atlas said confidently "Anyway Bianca, yes they are. Which is why he made a foolish miscalculation, I was just setting my Pawn up to strike even harder"
WHAT?!
Ministry of Magic- Earth
Carter Kane rarely found the energy to hate anyone anymore, his days as a hero had made sure of that. Yet somehow the man next to him managed to make his blood boil in a way he couldn't imagine. Not even Seth made his bloody boil like this and that was saying something.
"Cornelius, You need to tell the public that he is alive and alert the Aurors. If Voldemort strikes, Britain won't be prepared and the house of Life is stretched too thin to assist you this time. We are already in the middle of our own crisis in a war against an evil almost as old as the planet itself. Please, I'm begging you."
He was broken out of his plead as the elevator door pinged open, The Minister for Magic of Britain stepped out first, waving a hand at him "Don't be ridiculous Pharaoh Carter, Voldemort is dead and even if he wasn't, telling people would just cause mass panic. There is no need to worry about it."
Behind him, he could feel his girlfriend and bodyguard Zia, fuming. He wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't using every ounce of her willpower to not strangle the pompous man he was speaking to. Following the man out of the lift Carter said loudly to make sure people could hear him "You know you have to be one of the most imcompentent people I know, how the hell did you become the minister of magic,"
Several people around them started staring at them and whispering all while giving their passes to the house of life bodyguards currently protecting the ministry while he was here. He hated having 24/7 protection but it was actually useful right now.
The other man hiffed "Because the people voted me in, maybe if the house of life voted I wouldn't be though."
Carter glared at the man "Cornelius, you know the house swore never to interfere in the wizarding world politics. We are the guardians of peace and balance not democracy makers"
The man laughed "Well then Pharaoh Carter, maybe mind your own business and you deal with your own problems. Voldemort is dead, I was legally elected into the role and Wizarding Britain is fine!"
Suddenly a cold, dead voice spoke out "You're quite right Minster, let me help with this troublesome intruder"
"Avada Kedavra!"
Zia reacted first before anyone else, She was already pulling her staff from the river Duat and slammed her staff into the ground creating a blazing wall of fire that split the giant ministry building in two.
Carter was only just pulling his Kopsh out of the River Duat by the time she started the heliograph block spell creating a spell that would protect the two of them. Out of the corner of her eyes she could see the other members of the House of Life & some Aurors who were on duty also starting to react, summing their weapons to them.
Looking past her fire wall, she could finally see the caster of the spell, a pale white man with slits for a nose like a snake, a bald head and piercing red eyes. She wasted no time and shot through her flames, and noticed several dark clouds floating down into the ministry building they were apperating in!
She wasn't as good of a spell caster as Sadie but she was still one of the best in the house of life, and she could more than cast this spell. Sticking her staff out she drew out two Heliographs using it before flipping them around. The Spell created a large force field that would stop anymore from arriving and those in here from escaping.
Voldemort spoke once more, raising his wand "Very impressive, if you weren't one of those house of life types I would say your talents would be better spent with me, but you need to die because of your connections."
Waving his wand he screamed "Incidio!"
Zia grinned at the foolishness of her foe as he sent the flames her way, using her staff she twirled the flames around her and tore down her wall as well and shot it towards Voldemort and his "Death Eaters." If She could end this war before anyone else got hurt then she would.
She listened as several Death Eaters screamed in agony as the flames reached them, burning their skin and fusing their cloth robes to their skins making them grim reapers. Behind her she could sense Carter run up to her and camly while not taking her eyes off the enemy she said "Pharaoh Kane, get yourself and the minister of Magic to safety, The rest of the house of life and I will deal with this."
Zia laughed internally as he was about to start arguing with her when she put a finger to his lips "Now Honey!" He shut up and ran back to get the useless man that the British Magical community called the minister of Magic.
Wasting no time she shot towards Voldemort and started casting several Heliograph spells against him which he just dodged out of the way with ease, for someone recently back from the dead he was surprisingly fast.
Arounder her she could hear the other house of lifeguards starting to engage with the remaining death eaters, showing the world why the House of Life was the most powerful group of magical users in the world.
She must have been fighting him for what felt like an hour but what was probably only a couple minutes when she started to pant from exhaustion, she hadn't been prepared for an all out fight today, especially not against someone as skilled as this Voldemort.
However her efforts weren't in vain, she could tell her foe was getting slower too, this fight would be over soon unless one of them dealt the finishing blow soon. Voldemort managed to get out between his deep breaths "Yes, you are very impressive Girl, however, my ally Tartarus gave me a mission for today that I intend to complete"
Before she even realised it, her enemy had raised his wand pointing behind her and screamed "Avada Kedavra!"
The striking bold of green magic shot past her, she twisted her ankles and could see it shooting towards Carter and Fudge. Screaming loudly "Carter! Watch out!"
Carter was finally getting the idiot he was with to hide in his office when he heard Zia scream, when he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand to attention and he instinctively ducked downwards, only seeing the green spell illuminate around him briefly before vanishing suddenly as it hit a target, not the one that was expected but one nonetheless.
Cornelius Fudge's body flopped to the floor with a smack, killed in one strike by the very man he refused to believe was back. Carter couldn't say he was surprised, but it was still damaging seeing people around you fall.
From the distance he was at he couldn't see much but he could feel Zia's relief that he was fine through their bond and started to run up to her. Their foe shrugged his shoulders and said "Oh well, not my intended target but I can make this work. I bid you both farewell for now"
Before becoming black smoke and flying up into the roof of the Ministry and colliding with Zia's Barrier before making it shatter under his power. The Feedback of her spell being broken overwhelmed his Exhausted girlfriend and he watched as she passed out onto the ground before he could reach her.
Sliding onto the ground, he lifted her up into his arms gently, Although he couldn't check for a pulse normally right now he could feel using his magic that she was still alive as her magic pulse was still beating. He hadn't lost her.
As he was starting to calm himself down, a Young man who worked under Fudge came up to him and asked "Sir, What's going to happen next."
Remembering the young redhead's name from earlier in the day he said "War, young Percy. The Wizarding World enters another War."
Hogwarts
"Wait, Sirius's trial is WHEN?!"
Draco's voice echoed throughout the library as several people glared at him including Madam Prince who went "Shhhhhhhh"
The blond looked sheeping and apologised under his breath before looking at Harry who was holding the letter in his hands with a grin on his face, "This weekend, the same weekend I'm out getting Riddle's Soul out of me!"
Tracey hugged her boyfriend tightly. "That's great news Harry!"
Smiling madly, Hermione said "Isn't it?! He's finally going to be free!"
The group muttered between themselves about how great it would be when Ron, who had been invited along finally said "But it does make you wonder how Mrs Jackson was able to do it so quickly when Dumbledore couldn't do it in 13 years, it feels a bit off to me."
Sighing, Daphne said "I hate to admit it, but Ronald is right. Why and How now? I'm sure Mrs Jackson did it legally but was something stopping the headmaster?"
As she mentioned him the doors creaked open revealing the elderly headmaster who had a grim look upon his face. Harry stood up slowly as more and more people turned to look at Professor Dumbledore and asked gently "Sir, is everything all right?"
The man's head dipped "Students, it's my sad duty to inform you that our very own minister of magic; Cornelius Fudge, was killed in an attack by Lord Voldemort tonight. Britain is back into another war."
