- A little rough, I may discontinue this story if I don't get reviews because I'm not sure if it's that good of a fanfic. I have other projects and plenty of original works I could do so please tell me.

[Faerieish]
The underground cavern in which the students and everyone else had been held was hidden again and all were in the Great Hall, waiting expectantly for news on Harry. He had been brought into the Great Hall by a surprised but grief-stricken Daemon, followed by Rathma who was carrying Serefina and Lylyla who was carrying Vanier. Albus Dumbledore walked in, looking wearier than ever.
"Students," began Albus, "there is good news and bad news. The good news is that Harry is alive and the bad news is that he is injured beyond belief. I believe he has a fractured jaw, five broken ribs, his arm is snapped in nine different places, and he has internal bleeding and a head wound that won't stop bleeding no matter what the mediwizards do. He also broke a leg at the knee and has various cuts and bruises of all sizes. He has a punctured lung and they think there may be some hemorrhaging in his brain. No one is sure if he will make the night...
"As for Harry's friends, we are worried mostly about Serefina and Vaenier. Rathma, Lylyla, and Daemon have only minor cuts and bruises. Serefina has had a complete and total energy drain and has zero magical energy left in her reserves while Vaenier was stabbed in the stomach. Because of Serefina's energy drain when she fell, she cut herself but another side effect was complete inability to clot blood and nearly bled out."
As he finished he sat down in a heap on his chair where the teachers ran over to check on him. He waved them off but McGonagall stayed near with a worried expression.
Hermione turned to Ron and said, "Do you think Harry will be alright? They've never had a wizard who has gotten injured this badly since medieval times. They don't have the training for this...and..." She did not continue and broke down into uncontrollable sobs.
Ron rushed to her side, enveloping her in a hug and gently rocking her back and forth in an attempt to calm her.
"Shhh," whispered Ron. "It'll be okay Hermione, I promise. HE will be okay."
Without thinking and acting on instinct he leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. Hermione was so surprised that she stopped sobbing and looked at Ron in bewilderment. Ron stepped back in a hurry and a blush crept onto his face. He sat down at the table as the food for dinner appeared and began to eat in a rush as if nothing had happened. Unbeknownst to both Ron and Hermione, Fred and George stood in the shadows chuckling. They were glad their little brother had finally found comfort in these uncertain times but that didn't mean they didn't like to tease him. George held up the picture proudly, examining it. In the picture sat Ron, kissing Hermione on the forehead. They turned around to make copies of it and post it all over the school when they bumped into two girls who had been hiding behind them.
"Fred?" growled Angelina, her arms crossed.
"George?" stated Katie with her eyebrows raised and an amused expression on her face.
"Er...hi honey..." the two twins said in unison.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Albus Dumbledore sat in his office with a blank expression on his face. He was in deep meditation, contemplating Harry's situation and his own past actions. Because of this, he was completely unaware when Minerva entered the room. She looked nervous and she gently tapped him on the shoulder, pulling him out of the trance. Unfortunately, with Albus's high power levels, and them being heightened by the trance, he levitated five feet in the air before crashing back down.
"Yes, Minerva?" inquired a chuckling Albus.
Minerva hurriedly helped him to his feet, blushing profusely.
"Albus...I came in to make sure you're alright. You seemed ill during the feast," said Minerva.
"No, Minerva, I'm just worried and....regretful."
"Regretful, why would you be regretful Albus?"
"For so long I thought of Harry as only a tool to be used in this war and I fear that because of this I may have lost his trust, no, I KNOW that I lost his trust."
"Albus, how could you have known he would have been this powerful?"
Albus sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose wearily, "I guess you deserve to hear the whole story Minerva. It all started when I had become the Headmaster of Hogwarts..."
Albus Dumbledore sat down in the Headmaster's chair grinning manically at the feel of it. It was made of the softest material known to wizards. As he was looking over the list of students that were going to be joining the school he was intrigued. Lily Evans, a Muggle-born heir to Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff and James Potter, a boy from a prestigious family that was descendants of Gryffindor, and secretly, Slytherin. As he was contemplating this fact a bird of the most magnificent kind flew through the window. It was a phoenix, and it began to sing, not in the usual beautiful melody of the phoenix song, but a prophecy.
"The Dark Lord Rises in the form of a snake,
Leaving destruction in all his wake
In the darkest hour of earth
A child shall be given birth
Heir of the four
And many more
He shall be called the Child of Light
He must live through the hardships of fight
He who guides him take care
He is more powerful than you are aware
From space to time
From time to space
In the end, good shall win the race."
The headmaster took the phoenix, who he named Fawkes, in and over a course of years he learned more and more about this so called, Child of Light. It occurred to him that the boy would be the son of Lily and James, the two children he had witnessed growing steadily more powerful throughout their years at Hogwarts.
"And I started to formulate a plan, being as arrogant as I was back then, to manipulate the boy and use him as a tool, to defeat the evil," continued Albus, "My biggest mistake was to leave him with those wretched Muggles who call themselves human. To make sure I didn't destroy the plan for him, I wiped my memory and made it so I would gain it back when Harry came of age."
As he finished he slumped back in his chair and began to weep, slowly at first, then more steadily. Minerva moved to comfort him and he gratefully accepted it, finally able to let go of the torment that had caused him pain for so many years.
In a voice close to a whisper he added, "I just hope...it isn't too late..."
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Harry awoke to find himself in a field made of golden grass and looked around in surprise.
"WHERE AM I!?" he called out.
His voice echoed through the meadow and there was a sudden flash of light. Soon, over a thousand people stood around him. He recognized many of them instantly from his mythology books.
"Osiris, Isis, Hercules, Ioales, Zeus, Helga, Godric, Salazar, Rowena, Merlin, Arthur, Taran, Genkai, Athulua, Kethryes, Hera, Bul-Kathos, Karcheus, Palashia, Hephaestus, Hefaetrus, Zerae, Celestia, Habacalva, Hepsheeba, Inuyasha, Kagome, Sigurd, Jason, Arthur, Perseus, Beowulf, Dieudonne, Lambton, El Khudr, Alexander, K'ung Kiah, Fu Hsi, Shen Nung, Ming Hwang, Hwang Ti, Seth, Horus, Then Anshar, Marduk, Indra, Vritra, Paracelsus, Glanmore Peakes, Gifford Ollerton, Alberta Toothill, Norvel Twonk, Montague Knightley, Almerick Sawbridge, Queen Maeve, Andros, Artemis, Apollo, Ares, Athena, Thor, Loki, Shun, Yu Lung, Ta Yu, Kingu, Beowulf, Saint George, Ch'in, Ardashir, Ali Baba, Odin, Frigg, Skadi, Idun, Theseus, Odysseus, Bellerophon, Angela Martignetti, Diana, Lucy Hanover, India Cohen, Mariko, Justine, Grace, Erin Randall, Rand al'Thor, Xin Rong, Nikki, Sophie Carstensen, Isabel, Eleanor Bourdreau, Shagrat al-Durr, Thessily Thessilonikki, Ildiko Gellert, Marie-Christine Du Lac, Mollie Prater, Arabella Gish, Florence Gilbert, Britta Kessler, Asha Sayre, Melaka Fray, Claudine, Elizabeth Weston, Annie Sonnenblume, Cassia Marsilka, Joan of Arc, Remus, Romulus, Pandora, Juno, Janguli, Xi Wang-mu, Achilles, Helen of Troy, Adonis, Medea, Pygmalion, Nephele, mom, dad..." cried Harry.
He hugged his mother and father and then looked around at the assembled crowd.
"What are you all doing here?" inquired Harry. "You're all some of the most important people in wizarding history."
"Why, we're your ancestors Harry," Merlin said stepping forth. He pointed towards the right which was a desert of black sand where a large group of people had gathered. "And those are Voldemort's ancestors. I suppose you can recognize some of them can't you?"
"Arawn, Hades, Tiamat, Lilith, Elizabeth Bathory, Vlad the Impaler, Merwyn, Morgan le Fay, Yardley Platt, Beatrix Bloxam, Ethelred, Thaddeus Thurkell, Erida, Skylla, Thanatos, Cyrus, Skrymir, Helen, Ruthven, Judas Iscariot... That's all I recognize," stated Harry.
"I see you noticed I wasn't over there Harry," Salazar said. "I am actually quite I good guy, most of the myths about me are untrue. I was against Muggle-borns but only because I was worried about what their families would do to them. I did create some rather nasty things but they were mostly used in an attempt to annoy Godric over here."
Harry laughed but then put on a serious face, "So, why am I here?"
"During your fight with Baal you were severely injured. We brought you here so you wouldn't die while your body is recuperating. It should only be a few more minutes now, with the extra power boost we're going to give you," James interrupted.
Lily nodded and continued, "You'll be seeing much more of all of us frequently we're going to transfer our knowledge to you but I'd suggest acting a lot dumber than you are, or Voldemort will know something is up. His powers are growing and he's studying a new art of practicing, demon summoning."
Harry stood up and nodded, awaiting the transfer of knowledge. With a final smile from his ancestors, there was a flash of light and he sat straight up in the hospital wing looking very confused.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Inside the depths of Hogwarts castle, a place known only to a few people existed. It was a room made especially for the meetings of the Order of the Phoenix. As Albus looked at the current list of members he decided that they would have to recruit some people. A lot of the people on the list were dead. He quickly jotted down a list of the people still alive.

He tapped each name with his wand and they were all transported to the room, looking rather bewildered.
"I have called you so suddenly because I notice our number is dwindling fast. I recommend recruiting new members for the Order of the Phoenix and I have a list of some of them here. I also wish to discuss to all of you about Harry Potter," Dumbledore announced. "Next to each name is a description of how they would help."
With a flick of his wand a list appeared in midair for all the people to see.

A large group of protests arose at a few of the names and at Harry Potter's status.
"Do we need to inflate the little whelp's ego anymore?" Snape growled.
Sirius silenced him with a glare but then began to speak up, "I have a question about a couple of them. Narcissa Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Neville Longbottom, and Blaise Zabini are who I'm curious about. Isn't Draco a Death Eater?"
Now it was Snape's turn to silence him. "The Slytherins are my students and I know them well. Blaise is a Ravenclaw with some seer abilities and she foresaw how she would help the war effort if she went into the Slytherin house instead. Draco is undecided but hates his father and loves his mother dearly. Narcissa has been under an imperious curse and potions by Lucius since their fifth year and she was constantly threatened with Draco's death if she didn't obey. Unbelievably, I agree with Black, why Longbottom? He's a blundering idiot!"
"Not anymore, Harry told me the truth about Neville, he's an elemental that can use all the different elements. He's strongest in Earth and that's why he's so good at Herbology but he's okay at the other elements too. His grandmother found out that he was an elemental at a young age and to keep him from causing havoc, she put a mental block on him which Harry has removed. This mental block made him inept at wand magic and made it nearly impossible for him to retain knowledge," Dumbledore replied. "Harry assured me that he will be training Longbottom to use these skills next year. Now...about Harry...
"Harry is a very rare wizard and is a descendant of too many famous people to number. He has many powers that he doesn't wish me to divulge but he says to tell you he can control all the elements well and also travel through time frequently," Albus finished.
The group gasped in surprise at this information, except for Sirius.
"As for the teachers here..." Albus began, but was interrupted.
Madam Pomfrey's assistant had rushed into the room, gasping for breath. When he had caught his breath, he yelled out, "HARRY'S AWAKE!"
There was a flurry of activity and the teachers, Sirius, Remus, the Weasleys, and Albus all followed the young boy down to the Hospital Wing where Harry Potter sat waiting for them.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Harry grinned as he heard the stampede of feet outside the room and grinned even wider when they all rushed into the room. Madam Pomfrey quickly set about to checking Harry for wounds but found none, all had healed.
"I trust you have an explanation for your, miraculous recovery," inquired Snape.
"Yea, I do," replied Harry. "But I'm not going to tell you. Let's just say I met some people who helped me. But I have a few questions I'd like to ask the Order if you don't mind."
Albus nodded his approval and Harry continued.
"First off, since most of you are teachers, I'd like permission to create a gateway to a house I built. I don't want to live in the dormitory because there will just be too many questions that I'm not ready to answer, does everyone agree?"
All the teachers, other than Snape, nodded.
"Second, I would like to be a key in the planning that the Order does. I have some ideas but I have no wish to join the Order openly."
Reluctantly, most of the Order nodded.
"That's all, now could you please let me sleep?"
The group grinned and there was another rush out the door. As soon as Harry's head hit the pillow, he was asleep.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Voldemort sat over a pool of blood, most contributed from Muggles while the rest was from his death eaters. He called upon every inch of magic in his body and let it spread out around him.
Beginning to speak, he said in a deep and demonic voice, "Raduno l'alimentazione thy, io invoco il nome thy. Venuto a me Vassago e lo lascia sostenere. Volontà di rivendicazione I, tutte le alimentazioni del demon. Lasci la mia alimentazione svilupparsi oltre tre ore. Anima. Fuoco. Terra. Vento. Acqua. Morte. Dialo che l'alimentazione che è legittimo miniera, mi dà l'alimentazione, diami l'alimentazione, DIAMI L'ALIMENTAZIONE!"
As he finished a giant wave of blood washed over him and out of the pool rose a creature of pure evil. Vassago, one of the nine crown princes of hell. It was a truly terrifying site but Voldemort was unafraid.
"Are you the mortal who hath summoned me?"
"I am."
"Then you shall receive my gift, the power over a large army of demons and increased magical abilities. But because you did not join your own blood to the pool, you shall not receive immortality."
"I see..."
Vassago smiled and putting his hand on Voldemort's head brought forth a giant blast of hellish red light.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
In the Hogwarts hospital wing, forced to stay there by Madam Pomfrey, Harry Potter collapsed, his body wracked with pain. Ever inch of his body felt like it was on fire and blood dripped from his mouth and scar. His scar shown with a bright golden light and bolts of electricity jumped across his body erratically.
"WHAT IS HE THINKING!?" screamed Harry. "HE'S A FUCKING PSYCHO ASKING VASSAGE FOR HELP! HE'S..."
His rant was cut short by an invisible force of energy blowing him back through the hospital wing wall into another, sending it crumbling. Flying back through wall after wall, his speed never diminishing, he finally shot straight up through the ceiling to the top of the castle before he was pitched off, tumbling helplessly through the air.
Harry gave a groan of pain and quickly set up his mental barriers that dampened the pain that Harry was feeling. Concentrating on the situation at hand Harry stuck his hand out in the air and began to chant.
"Ar a ligar à terra, para ligar à terra para arejar. Deixe um disco excepto mim e deixe minha vida ser. Areje para ligar à terra, para ligar à terra para arejar. Deixe um disco excepto mim e deixe minha vida ser. Areje para ligar à terra, para ligar à terra para arejar. Deixe um disco excepto mim e deixe minha vida ser. Areje para ligar à terra, para ligar à terra para arejar. Deixe um disco excepto mim e deixe minha vida ser."
He made a circular motion with his hand and levitated temporarily, setting himself on a spinning disc of air and earth that allowed him to "hover" in midair.
"Alright Voldie," said Harry with a grin. "I think it's time we have a chat."
Harry slashed his hand downwards and a portal opened up. With a grin he stepped in and reappeared in Voldemort's lair.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Vincent Crabbe lay behind Voldemort's throne, thrashing with pain and fear. As his vision cleared he swore he saw a portal open up in front of him, like a rip in the universe. He watched as a figure stepped out of it and a fist went flying towards his face before he knew no more.
Harry stepped over the unconscious man with a grin, searching for Voldemort, eager to duel the foolish man. He was rewarded for his search and he found Voldemort standing a couple feet away from his throne with a huge grin on his face.
"Ah...Potter. I see you didn't bother to transform this time. A mistake as it was, you'll need all the power you can get," cackled Voldemort.
Harry sneered and said, "Shut up and fight, you worthless maggot."
"No need to be angry Potter. Ready...go! Raffica Di Vento!"
Harry dodged the fierce blast of wind and sent back his own spell, "Tempesta Del Ghiaccio!"
Voldemort dodged the miscellaneous shards of ice that flew at him until Harry sent a giant stake of ice at him.
"FUSIONE!" cried Voldemort, "Riduca!"
The ice cube melted and was quickly followed by the curse which Harry reflected using Rifletta. The spell was sent back to Voldemort who has completely unprepared. As the spell hit, Voldemort shrunk to the size of a doll, cursing in a high pitched whiny voice.
"Sviluppisi!" screamed Voldemort. "Aria Del Rasoio!"
Harry braced himself and squinted the tears out of his eyes as blast after blast of air hit him, slicing through skin and in one or two cases, down to the bone. Harry was about to follow up when Voldemort hit him with another spell.
"Soffochi le Ferite!"
Harry gasped in pain as the air was sucked away from his wounds and he fumbled with his pain barriers, his vision already becoming fuzzy. The pain dulled from that of the cruciatus curse to a slap on the wrist.
"LEGATURA!" yelled Harry as he cast the spell upon Voldemort.
Voldemort was lifted into the air, suspended by a multitude of super strong ropes. Harry watched angrily as the Dark Lord struggled and finally he decided that he would make Voldemort suffer.
"STRINGA!"
A high-pitched inhuman keel sprang forth from Voldemort as the ropes tightened, slowly crushing bones and cracking ribs.
"IT HURTS DOESN'T IT?!" screamed Harry, raising his palm towards Voldemort. "Scoppio Di Fuoco!"
Harry fired a large ball of fire at the Dark Lord, scorching him and setting him afire. As anger overtook him he fired ball after ball at the Dark Lord.
"FOR CEDRIC! AUMENTI IL DOLORE!"
Voldemort screamed again as his pain increased tenfold.
"FOR BERTHA! SCOPPIO DEL SALE!"
Harry let loose a stream of salt and it hit Voldemort full on, tearing at flesh and entering open wounds.
"FOR MOM AND DAD! MARTELLO PSICHICO!"
Voldemort was blown backwards into the wall of the chamber by an unseen force, and then pulled forwards before being thrown back again, continuously.
"FOR EVERYONE ELSE! AVADA..."
Harry was cut short as Voldemort released a giant blast of energy, sending him flying backwards and landing with a thud on the stone floor.
Voldemort was literally seething with anger and the hellish red light had returned, surrounding Voldemort and increasing his power.
"INFERNO BESTA!" screamed Voldemort.
The ground began to rumble and Harry looked around in surprise. In front of Voldemort was a rising pile of stone and dirt. As it grew further, Harry realized what was happening.
"Oh fuck...He's calling a demon," Harry stated.
As he finished this sentence the beast sprang forth from the mound of earth and rushed at Harry, which was the last thing he saw.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
As Harry fell to the ground unconscious, Voldemort laughed but had to stop because his ribs hurt like hell.
"Guar," he muttered, healing himself, before he turned to the demon which was gnawing on Harry's leg. "STOP!"
The demon stopped obediently, backing away and retreating to the earth from whence it came. Voldemort moved forward and as he was about to put his hand on Harry, the room was engulfed in a bright blue light. When it cleared, both men were gone.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Somewhere in the middle of the Sahara desert, Voldemort let out an inhuman scream of rage that would have made even Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings scared.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Harry awoke in a place vaguely familiar to him but he couldn't grasp why it seemed familiar.
The voice echoed throughout the place and reverberated in his skull.
"Huh?"
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Harry sat up with a gasp, looking around the dark room before groaning. He was in the infirmary again.
"Damn it," he growled.
As he looked around a thought came to his mind.
"Let's try out my new powers," said Harry with a grin.
Harry waved his hand and disappeared from the infirmary, a note fluttering down to the area in which he had previously laid.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
High in the Rocky Mountains Harry was practicing his new powers. He ran around testing his speed and finally kicked it up to full notch and disappeared. Five minutes later he reappeared, having run down the mountain and back up. Looking around he saw a big rock jutting out of the ground. It was approximately the size and shape of a semi. Wrapping both arms around it Harry heaved and slowly the rock loosened from its earthen container and Harry lifted the entire thing into the air.
"Well, that was easy," said Harry laughing as he threw it to the side.
He sat down in a yoga meditation form and hours passed as he concentrated on his mind, body, and soul.
After about ten hours he stood up, a little stiff from the form he had been in but he didn't care. Taking out a knife from his boot he held it over his wrist and slit it horizontally to make sure the wound wasn't fatal. A large amount of blood spilled from his wrist onto the ground and he slowly turned around creating a circle of blood.
Throwing his head back he called out to the sky, "La cenere da incenerire, impolvera per impolverare, ci dà la vita quella noi così lust. Morte a vita, vita alla morte, ritorno alla persona il loro alito. La cenere da incenerire, impolvera per impolverare, ci dà la vita quella noi così lust. Morte a vita, vita alla morte, ritorno alla persona il loro alito. La cenere da incenerire, impolvera per impolverare, ci dà la vita quella noi così lust. Morte a vita, vita alla morte, ritorno alla persona il loro alito. La cenere da incenerire, impolvera per impolverare, ci dà la vita quella noi così lust. Morte a vita, vita alla morte, ritorno alla persona il loro alito."
Out of the ground rose a human form and the form slowly took shape, becoming more distinct. As it finished Harry looked at a lifeless body of Cedric Diggory. Moving over to him Harry pressed his lips to the boys, allowing the transfer of life-breath that was necessary for the ritual.
As Harry stepped back, Cedric opened his eyes and gasped in surprise, looking around in awe.
"How...Where...When..." stuttered Cedric.
"Shhhhhh..." whispered Harry to the frightened teen. "You are in the Rocky Mountains in the United States of America. I brought you back to life with my powers of Necromancy. It has been over five months since you died."
"Harry...I...can't thank you enough. Heaven was nice but, I'm so glad to be back..." cried Cedric.
Cedric threw his arms around Harry sobbing, catching Harry by surprise. As the awkward moment passed Cedric stepped back and blushed in embarrassment.
"Sorry."
"No problem, Cedric. I only have one favor to ask of you."
"What?"
"Take good care of Cho."
"I will Harry, I will."
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
It was three weeks later and Cedric was posing as a transfer student from America with only Harry, the Order of the Phoenix, and Cho knowing who he really was. In Quidditch, Gryffindor and Slytherin were slowly working their way up towards each other. Hermione and Ron were improving on their skills slowly but surely with Harry as their guide and it was time for the next Dueling Class of Harry's.
Harry was standing up at the podium looking out over the crowd when he recognized a new face, Velano Defrina, an Italian Slytherin. Harry decided to see how the new kid was at dueling and called him up.
"Okay Velano, anything goes except illegal curses, k?"
Velano nodded silently and the match began. With superhuman speed Harry rushed up to punch Velano but he disappeared. Harry spun around delivering a kick to Velano who had appeared behind him.
"You're fast Velano, but you make too much noise."
Velano grunted and raised his hand, sending a blast of shadow element at Harry who quickly dispelled it with a fire spell. Harry watched Velano grow increasingly agitated as the match went on and Harry continued to outmaneuver him. Finally Velano lost it.
"MALEDIZIONE DEL DIO ESSO!" swore Velano.
Dark energy swirled around him and he was surrounded by a red light. He slowly grew a foot, two, three, and soon he was ten feet taller. Spikes grew out from his back and his muscles bulged. Fifteen minutes later, a 16 foot tall demon stood in the place of Velano.
"PER IL MIO SIGNORE MATRICE VOLDEMORT!"
Even the students who didn't understand Italian caught the last part.
Looking up at the demon Harry sighed and said, "Not again..."
With a speed even greater than Harry's, Velano rushed at Harry and knocked him back into the wall, smashing the stone that made it up. Slowly Harry stood up from the rubble but he was amazingly calm. Walking forward he took out his sword which with a blink of an eye changed to a much more impressive looking sword that had jewels encrusted upon the hilt. Harry looked up at the demon emotionlessly.
"Bring it on," he said.
Velano roared in fury and sent giant balls of fire flying at Harry. Watching the fireballs without any emotion Harry stood there and at the last second, brought his sword up in front of him. The fireballs reached the sword and the sword deflected them, splitting them in two and sending them behind him, leaving him unharmed.
Harry raised his hand and shouted, "Esploda!"
Velano started shaking uncontrollably and with a great roar of anguish, exploded into a thousand smaller parts.
"Well that's over," Harry said with a grin.
"I don't think so."
Harry spun around looking for a voice and finally spotted a small head sticking out of the burnt entrails of the monster.
"Don't walk away just yet, Harry Potter."
The entrails that were scattered around twitched and slowly they moved back together, once again becoming the demon.
"Don't you fuckers ever die?" inquired Harry with a sigh.
Velano laughed and raised his hand again, twirling it around.
Harry recognized what was going to happen and tried to jump back but had reacted too late and was quickly engulfed in vines of fire.
"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" screamed Harry in pain, the fire eating through clothing and flesh alike.
The demon roared with laughter and through the pain-induced blur, Harry clearly saw the taint of Voldemort. The thought of his lifelong tormenter caused Harry to inflame with anger.
"GOD DAMN YOU, TOM!" yelled Harry, the fire vines being dispelled. "YOU ARE BEGINNING TO ROYALLY PISS ME OFF!"
Harry waved his hand at the demon and it was lifted into the air and thrown backwards into the wall.
"I KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING THIS TOM! SO TAKE THIS AS AN EXAMPLE!"
Using his new speed Harry rushed forward and landed a punch into the gut of the demon, cracking the wall behind it. He ran backwards and raised his hand at the demon. Without a shred of guilt in his body Harry vaporized the demon on the spot.
Harry collapsed to one knee and gasped in pain. Ninety percent of his body was covered in burned flesh and tattered and singed clothing while the other ten percent was down to the bone. By all accounts, any normal human should be unconscious but Harry wasn't normal.
Waving his hand weakly Harry said, "Evochi L'Alimento Ripristino Bean."
In front of Harry appeared a small grey bean and Harry popped it into his mouth. Slowly the wounds began to heal and while it wasn't entirely done, the bones were now covered with muscle of pulsing blood vessels while the burns were now just scars.
"Can...someone...take...me...to...the...hospital...wing...now...I...think...I'm...ready...to...stay...there...for...once..." stated Harry weakly with a lopsided grin on his face.
Hermione and Ron rushed up and he leaned on them as they started towards the infirmary.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Madam Pomfrey sighed in exasperation as she looked Harry over and said, "Back again are we, you must have begun to fancy me seeing how often you come in here..."
Harry blushed lightly but gasped as Madam Pomfrey grabbed a slightly healed part tightly and rubbed as she put a healing cream on.
"Nice distraction technique," commented Harry with a slight grin
Poppy laughed gently and as she finished putting the cream on she walked away to check on Seamus who was suffering from some odd ailment. The rumor was that a genital enlargement charm that Seamus had been casting backfired and had some really odd side effects. Or, at least, that was the rumor. Even Dumbledore didn't know what was going on with Seamus because Madam Pomfrey had strictly forbid everyone other than herself and Dean Thomas to enter behind the curtains. Seamus had for some reason or another let Dean in and it baffled all but Harry.
Harry grinned as he remembered what had happened when he had gone back to the dorm after practicing his Necromancy powers.
There was a flash of light as Harry appeared in the dorm rooms, sweaty and tired from his exercises dealing with Necromancy. As he moved towards his bed so he could get some shuteye before the next day he heard a slight moaning and a male chortle.
Curious, Harry had peeked through the curtains to Dean's bed where he saw Seamus and Dean, both naked, in a compromising position.
With a gasp he had closed the curtains but Dean had heard him and threatened him with torture if Harry ever mentioned what he had see, lots of it.
Seamus and Dean were trying to keep a low profile because of the anti-homosexual attitude that had been going around school after the incident with the two Ravenclaws found in the broom closet.
Harry had promised and promised again to the two that he wouldn't divulge their secret because he also was aware of the current attitude against homosexuals. One of the Ravenclaws had been getting beaten up by a group of Slytherins and Hufflepuffs who were against homosexuals when the other Ravenclaw came along and got so pissed off he hexed each Slytherin and Hufflepuff to hell and back. The Slytherins and the Huffelpuffs had been given a month of detentions and each of their houses had been docked fifty points.
Sighing, Harry recalled the reason against of homosexuality in the wizarding world. While the wizarding world was more open towards many issues including women's rights and racial differences, they still had many prejudices. Homosexuals were hated because with the low wizarding population, they thought that every wizard who could produce should either get married or stay single but the thought of homosexuality irked them badly.
It was a sad truth that no world was without hatred and fear but Harry sincerely hoped that once he got out of Hogwarts he could change that. He had a plan that would revolutionize the wizarding world and merge it with the Muggle one. The plan was long and complicated and Harry was still working on it, detail by detail. In terms of how long the written plan was, it was over 180 feet of paper with writing about half the size of normal readable writing.
Harry's stomach growled and Harry waved his hand saying, "Evochi L'Alimento Chocolate Sundae."
A gigantic chocolate sundae appeared in front of Harry and grabbing a spoon from his food tray he dug in with a glee in his eyes that had not been there since he first set eyes on Hogwarts.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
It was three days later and Harry was finally released from the hospital wing and was currently in Potions Class working on a potion called Carne Di Decomposizione. It was a rather nasty potion and Harry was wondering exactly what Professor Snape was thinking making the students brew something like this. The potion was designed by dark witches and wizards in the early 9th Century and it slowly rotted your flesh making for a slow and painful death. There was a cure for it but you had to take it before 24 hours had passed.
Harry watched with worry as Professor Snape hovered over Neville who had been doing exceptionally well ever since Harry removed the mental blocks. As a tingling sensation ran across the back of his neck Harry noticed a Filibuster's Wet-Start No Heat Firework in Snape's hand, obviously confiscated from Fred and George, and a manic look of glee on his face. Doing the math quickly in his head Harry realized that a death eater meeting had been called last night by surprise, something about a spy...
Harry gasped and dropped his ingredients on the table before running towards Professor Snape in an attempt to tackle him before he dropped the firework in Neville's cauldron.
Time seemed to slow for Harry as he ran towards Snape and he watched as the Potions Master throw the firework into the cauldron. Harry watched in slow motion as the cauldron exploded sending the potion everywhere. Raising his arms to protect himself, Harry could only look on in horror as it hit the Gryffindors and Slytherins. Time sped up and Harry gasped as Snape fell backwards confused. The class was screaming in horror trying to wipe the potion off of them but Harry knew it was too late.
"EVERYONE STAY CALM!" yelled Harry above the ruckus. "WAS ANYONE NOT HIT ON THE SKIN WITH THE POTION!?"
One or two students raised their hands and Harry sighed as Draco came forward. Seamus was leaning over Dean crying, he was the only other one not hit.
"Draco, you run down to the hospital wing and get Madam Pomfrey and then alert Dumbledore, okay?" ordered Harry.
Draco nodded; looking paler then ever, and with one last look behind him, took off in a sprint towards the hospital wing.
"Calderone."
Harry set the newly materialized cauldron to the side and walked over to Snape's storeroom, delivering a well placed kick to the lock. The door swung open and Harry ran around, grabbing a number of ingredients before running back out. He threw a large amount of warm water into the cauldron and started to grind the Salice Tree bark into a fine powder before pouring it into the cauldron. Looking over the list in his Potion's book he threw in some other ingredients.
A couple of minutes later Draco rushed into the room followed by Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore.
"Pomfrey, take over the potion, I have to get some of the ingredients and I'll be back in ten hours because the potion calls for a large supply. Albus, I'm sure you know how to brew the potion also so if you could start another batch it would be a great help. Draco, you bandage the students, its...better if they don't see the process," directed Harry.
The people in question nodded and Harry disappeared with a pop.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Deep in the Rocky Mountains there was a loud pop followed by the appearance of Harry. He looked around in curiosity before finally spotting a snatch of gold in the whiteness. Creeping over he saw what he needed. Re'em. They had powerful magical blood. The current wizarding world knew only of the strength they gave the drinker but if you mixed it with the other ingredients in the potion, it strengthened white blood cells causing them to fight harder against the poison.
Harry stood up and walked slowly towards the Re'em. One looked up at him with a sort of indifferent gaze and Harry reached out when he was close enough to touch it.
"I'm sorry," whispered Harry. "But I need your blood great oxen."
With a tear running down his cheek he killed the animal and taking out some utensils, began to drain blood from the creature. Soon he had twelve jars filled to the brink with the bright red plasma and with another pop; Harry disappeared for the next location.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
In the highest regions of Mt. Blanc in France, Harry appeared looking a little relieved at the next task. He didn't have to kill anything this time because Graphorns shed their horns yearly for they become too small for the creature. It was his luck as it was to come across one right away. As he reached to grab it however he heard a thunk and looked up to see a 7 foot tall mountain troll staring down at him.
said Harry in Trollish.
The troll reared back in surprise at a human being able to speak Trollish.
{What are you doing here human?} the troll responded.
{I'm collecting Graphorn horns for a potion because some of my friends were injured. But...how are you so intelligent? I thought most trolls were...well...dumb,} Harry stated.
{I'm a seer, one is born every generation and slowly we grow more intelligent, absorbing the knowledge of the former seer. Take the Graphorn horns and leave human, I don't mind you being here but my brothers who are less intelligent than me do not take kindly to humans,} ordered the troll.
{Just a question, are you for or against Voldemort?} inquired Harry as he collected more Graphorn horns.
{The evil one is our enemy, we side with the light for the evil one has killed many of our people in his devious experiments,} the seer grumbled.
Harry nodded and picking up the last Graphorn horn, he said, {Thank you, you shall most likely see me again, I think I have some friends who might be interested in fighting side by side with a troll against the evil one.}
Harry bowed and disappeared to the next place.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
In the depths of the Amazon Rainforest, Harry once again appeared. He had a long list of items to get from here so he decided he should get started. As he trekked along Harry heard a loud high pitched jabbering and moved to the side of his path to investigate.
Peeking through some foliage Harry laughed as he realized he had come across a Faerie colony. He stepped through the foliage and bowed deeply to them, catching their attention.
[Hello, my name is Harry Potter; I come to ask for your assistance,] said Harry.
[What assistance do you require of us Sir Harry Potter?] asked a Faerie as she stepped up.
[I hesitate to ask but I need about fifty of your eggs and maybe 100 shed wings for a potion that will cure my friends, they were injured badly and will die in less than 22 hours,] replied Harry.
[No problem, our colony has grown a lot bigger over the years and if you didn't take some of the eggs, I'd worry about overcrowding,] the Faerie responded. [And we shed our wings yearly in the same place; you should find some about 10 of your paces to the left of where we are.]
Harry bowed to them and walked off to collect the eggs, not noticing the trail of sparkles that led to his bag.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
As Harry pulled another handful of eggs off a leaf he spotted the wings on the ground and bent down, placing them in a jar so they wouldn't rip.
"Well, that makes enough of the Faerie items," said Harry to himself.
He put the items in his bag and put a weightless spell on it so it didn't make him fall over. As he stood up he heard a clacking sound and gulped. Turning around he came face to face with a big, hairy, and ugly-ass spider.
"Oh boy." whispered Harry.
About fifteen more spiders lowered themselves down from the trees and soon Harry was surrounded.
Quickly he raised his hand and shouted, "Scoppio di Fuoco!"
A ball of fire formed in each hand and he threw them at the spiders, setting them afire and sending two scurrying off. More spiders appeared and Harry continued throwing fireballs at the creatures, holding them back.
As he dodged a glob of poisonous secretion, he growled angrily, "OH THAT'S IT! Cerchio del Fuoco!"
A ring of fire surrounded him and expanded outwards sending the spiders scurrying. The spiders gone he moved forward to a broken Acromantula egg that had gotten destroyed in the battle. Magically, he lifted the egg shells into a jar that he placed in his bag. He heard a distinct whizzing of rope and turned around looking at the spider.
"Hello Aragog, how long did it take you to make it here?" inquired Harry.
"Three years, we decided that we'd find more food in the Amazon and we've been working to get here ever since. I apologize to you Harry Potter for my tribe's thick-headedness, they didn't realize who you were," stated Aragog.
"Yes, obviously, they should have known better because I COULD have brought them under my control but I didn't want to hurt them too badly. I recognized them as some of your kind. Aragog, have any of your number gone to join Voldemort?"
"Yes Harry Potter. On the trip here over a thousand of our number decided that it would be better to join Voldemort and get free food from him. I pity them for I know they will die against you."
Harry smiled and said, "Thank you Aragog, but do you know where I can find some Clabberts?"
"Yes I do indeed Harry Potter; there is a colony of them about 90 yards south of here," Aragog replied.
Harry thanked him again and set off towards the Clabberts to get their pustules.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
It was a couple hours later and Harry finally returned to the Potion's room with the ingredients. The rest of the potion was already made so he quickly did the ingredients and put them into each cauldron. They had enough for each student now but they had to wait for the potion to settle which took another 12 hours. It would be cutting it close.
At the thought of Snape being controlled and forced to injure innocents just for Voldemort's sadistic pleasure, Harry grew furious. A golden glow surrounded his body and his eyes turned pure crimson.
"VOLDEMORT!!!!!!" screamed Harry.
With another roar of fury Harry jumped out the window and shot off with a bang.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Voldemort was holding a meeting in his castle when the wall imploded, showering everyone present with debris.
"WHERE ARE YOU VOLDEMORT!?" Harry roared.
Apoplectic fury coursed through Harry and he waved his hand violently, sending the death eaters to face-plant the floor.
"Did you learn nothing Potter?" inquired Voldemort as he summoned up a demon.
"Oh, I learned a lot, Voldie, and I have a surprise for you. Corpo di Aumento!" yelled Harry.
The corpses of tortured Muggles and wizards stood up off the floor and began attacking the demon using whatever weapon, even bones from their own body.
"Guardiano Della Terra, Guardiano del Ghiaccio, Guardiano Dell'Acqua, Guardiano del Lampo, Guardiano del Fuoco, Guardiano Dell'Aria, MERGE!" ordered Harry.
Out of the torches rose the fire guardian while the patches of water rose to form the ice and water guardian. The dirt slowly merged together forming the earth guardian and the air guardian appeared. There was a flash of lightning that struck through the window creating the lightning guardian. A flash of brilliant blue light erupted throughout the castle and the guardians were pulled together, merging into an exact replica of Harry.
"Go take care of the demon, I'm going to take care of Voldemort," ordered Harry.
The doppelganger nodded and rushed off towards the demon that was shaking off the last of the reanimated corpses.
"TEMPESTA DEL LAMPO!" yelled Harry.
A dark thundercloud appeared above Voldemort sending blasts of lightning into his body periodically.
"CICLONE!" screamed Voldemort.
A gigantic swirling tornado appeared and rushed towards Harry who braced himself awaiting the blast. Within seconds he was sucked up and thrown around and around.
"Schermo Del Fuoco," stated Harry calmly.
A glowing shield of fire appeared around him and the air was sucked away into the fire making it stronger, allowing it to take in more air. Soon the entire tornado was being used to fuel Harry's shield of fire.
"Scoppio del Lampo!"
A ball of lightning appeared in Harry's hand and he threw it at Voldemort. More appeared in the place of the thrown one and Harry kept on throwing, with each hit Voldemort was electrocuted and the rate of fire was too quick for him to do anything by try to protect himself.
"Schermo del Terra!" called out Voldemort.
A shield of Earths surrounded him and the blasts of lightning bounced off harmlessly, along with the blasts from the thunderstorm.
"Lamierine!"
Hundreds of small blades flew at Harry who nimbly dodged most but was cut deep by the ones he was unable to avoid.
"Scoppio del Sale!"
Using the maneuver he had previously used against Voldemort, Harry took advantage of the wounds opened by the continuous blasts of lightning. The salt ripped at the wound and skin tore of Voldemort's face at an alarming pace.
"Schermo Dell'Acqua,"
The salt was absorbed by the water but soon the water shield had absorbed too much and became ineffective.
"Fine," Voldemort said through blasts of salt. "Then try this! Tempesta Della Neve!"
The blast of salt froze from where it was coming out of Harry's wand and dropped to the ground shaped like a wedge. Soon Harry was being bombarded with snow and he couldn't see anything through the piercing white. Even his fire shield was ineffective against the amount of snow that was raining down on him.
An idea struck Harry and instead of pointing his wand at Voldemort, pointed it into the air above him and cried out, "Tempesta del Fuoco!"
The blizzard cancelled out the spell but it too was cancelled by the storm of fire.
"Scoppio del Veleno!"
Voldemort cried out as the blast hit him. His flesh turned to a sickly green color and he looked rather grim.
"What did you do!?" demanded Voldemort.
"A blast of poison is what I did," Harry replied.
"DAMN YOU POTTER!"
Harry only laughed at Voldemort's outrage.
"MAXIMUS ESTREMITA REDUCTO!" screamed Voldemort.
Before Harry could blink an eye, Voldemort's castle, and everything within about 200 yards, was blown up.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Harry struggled to open his eyes and when he did, he immediately shut them again. In front of him was big beast with razor sharp teeth and a case of halitosis. In the background he could here birds twittering and the calls of wild animals along with the sounds of rushing water. Warmth pressed against his skin insistently as if it purposely trying to heat him up.
"Where am I now?" muttered Harry.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Standing up carefully and slowly because of his injuries and fear, Harry stepped away from the beast before realizing what it was.
"AN ARCH GRIFFIN!" exclaimed Harry. "Those have been dead since the Egyptian Wizarding time!"
The Griffin nodded as if understanding his confusion and nodded its head before going off in that direction. Uncertain but curious, Harry followed the beast making sure to stay at least five feet behind it at all times.
The Griffin stopped, sniffed the air, and then took off running with a sense of urgency. Harry followed, cutting branches and other foliage out of the way as he ran along trying to keep up with the Griffin.
A river blocked the path and Harry watched in amazement as the Griffin jumped over it. Following its lead, Harry tried and made it, but nearly fell backwards because he had landed so close to the edge.
Deciding that if he was going to keep up with this thing that he had to speed up, Harry transformed into a Vizzerdix. With a shrill cry he rushed after the Griffin on all fours.
The pair continued running and when Harry thought he could run no more, he heard a loud bellow behind them and just by listening to its cry, he could tell it wasn't friendly. Both he and the Griffin picked up speed and they finally reached a small cottage in the middle of a clearing.
As they neared the door a woman stepped out dressed in all black. Using his gift of x-ray Harry looked at the weapons she was carrying. Two samurai swords were slung across her back but were covered by a giant hammer that Harry was surprised she could lift.
Four Micro-Uzis were in gun holsters on her chest and two normal 9mm standard issue guns were on her belt along with various vials and knives. Two knives were hidden up her sleeves as well as a mini-gun on each upper arm.
Near her boots were two knives and two more guns while up higher on her legs were some throwing stars. In her cloak she carried two Ak-47s and a variety of other guns.
The woman carried a magical staff that Harry recognized from Magical Artifacts and other Interesting Things along with a ton of jewelry Harry also recognized from the book. On each ear were two small earrings that Harry knew increased speed, strength, accuracy, energy, and pain tolerance. She wore 10 rings which Harry recognized:
The first was a ring made entirely of lapis lazuli and it was designed to enhance your tolerance to cold and ice spells and it also enhanced both your cold and ice spells.
The second was a ring made of sapphire that was created to allow you to breathe underwater and increased the strength of your water spells.
The third ring was made of garnet and was made to increase your tolerance to heat and fire along with enhancing heat and fire spells.
The fourth ring was made of topaz and was created to increase your tolerance to electricity and enhance the strength and effectiveness of your electric spells.
The fifth ring was made of diamond and was designed to allow you to breathe any kind of gas other than toxic ones and increase the strength of your air spells.
The sixth ring made up for what the diamond one missed and was made out of emerald. It was designed to protect you from poison in any form and increase the strength of poison based spells.
The seventh one was made of amethyst and was created to enhance the strength of your magical skills, increase your magical supply, and make you more resistant to spells.
The eighth ring was made of obsidian and was made to protect you from spells that were of a dark origin along with increasing your night vision and raising the effectiveness of dark spells you cast.
The ninth ring was similar to the eighth and was made of moonstone, allowing you to increase the strength of light-based spells and increasing your daytime vision.
The tenth ring and the rarest of all was the ring made of bloodstone. Its origin was unknown and no one truly knew what it did but the stories of it said that it allowed you to open a gateway between dimensions and also give you the power to go to heaven and hell at will.
As Harry was examining the rings the woman smiled but then gasped at a shadow in the distance.
"You must come inside quickly, a beast that is terribly pissed off is coming towards here!" she cried.
Harry was broken out of his trance and rushed inside, followed by the Griffin and its mistress.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
It was later on and the two were sitting at a table in the small cottage and Harry was gently petting the Griffin.
"I apologize for my haste and lack of manners earlier," the woman said. "My name is Alexandria Du'ponial Armatura Seshani or Alex for short. The beast that was coming here plagues me along with all the other beasts except for Breeze here. She was the only one who befriended me when the Elders sent me here."
"How did I get here?" inquired Harry.
"You were sent here for me to train you. I know a bit of the future and from what I know Voldemort will soon triple in power. You are powerful but not even close to the power he will soon gain. While you may be able to defeat the beasts because of your greater knowledge in spells, when it comes to the power we're talking about, you are an ant compared to me," Alex said. "I'm not being egotistical but it's the truth. Within two years in this place you shall have greater power than I. Do not fret about the time for time passes differently here. What is two years here is 3 weeks in your world. Although this may cause panic, it is necessary."
Harry sighed and looking Alex straight in the eye asked, "Why me? Is it because of my ancestors? I'd rather not have them. I am sick and tired of my friends getting hurt because of me. My parents died because of me, so did Cedric, so did Bertha Jorkins, so did hundreds upon hundreds of Muggles and wizards."
"I know, Harry. But if you don't fight, the entire multi-verse will be threatened. Voldemort is finding knew ways to gain power every day and he has an unimaginable army behind him. He has over 12,000 Dementors on his side along with around 50,000 vampires under the age of 100, three vampires over the age of 2,000, 200 Basilisks, 500 Acromantula, fifteen Chimaeras, twenty Manticores, thirty Dragons, two Nundu, ten Lethifolds, five Sea Serpents, 300 Werewolves, 900 Veela, 400 Underground Goblins, fifty Sprite Fairies, fourteen Nymphs, 1,200 Orcs, 5,000 death eaters and a number of other beasts. The light side has a total of 1,000 Aurors, 200 Hit Wizards, 900 assorted beasts, and twenty order members. It's kind of one sided," Alex declared. "You're here not only to learn magical skills but social skills as well, you need to coerce some of the more intelligent species to help fight with you, I know this may be difficult but it's a must. If you need some help with the Under-grounders, look up Artemis Fowl and Holly Short, they should be able to help you. Odd couple to start off with, a human and a fairy but after that Particle Accelerator, the rubber band and the depressed robot changing Artemis into a fairy...eh... never mind, sorry. Getting a little off track."
Harry grinned and nodded although the weary look remained in his eyes.
"Anyway Harry, the training begins tomorrow so I suggest you rest up," suggested Alex.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
A week had passed since the Potter boy had disappeared in the explosion and Voldemort was getting angrier that he couldn't find him. Finally he decided that he should try to gain more power and after he finished looking through Arawn the Death Lord's journal, he knew the perfect way. Calling up one of each different type of his minions he killed them and drained their blood into a giant cauldron. Carefully he added a mix of powdered gems including:
5 Ounces Powdered Lapis Lazuli
6 Ounces Powdered Moonstone
15 Ounces Powdered Obsidian
12 Ounces Powdered Garnet
2 Ounces Powdered Bloodstone
9 Ounces Powdered Amethyst
8 Ounces Powdered Diamond
7 Ounces Powdered Sapphire
5 Ounces Powdered Emerald
12 Ounces Powdered Topaz
15 Ounces Powdered Tourmaline
After he had added those in he went over the other list of ingredients and added each into the potion in the correct order:
20 Ounces Basilisk Venom
5 Black Phoenix Feathers
1 Ounce of Lethifold Essence
22 Black Unicorn Hairs
1 Crushed Dragon Scale
2 Powdered Salamander Eggshells
1 Ounce Unicorn Blood
12 Ounces of Demon Flesh
1 Ounce of Your Flesh
1 Pint of Your Blood
After adding the ingredients he mixed the potion and drank the small bit required quickly. A series of convulsions ripped through his body and he trembled as a black essence engulfed him.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
In the depths of Alex's dimension Harry was already 1/3 through his training. The next challenge was an obstacle course through the jungle and Harry was ready for anything.
He looked over at Alex who nodded and with that, he took off past the starting point into the jungle.
It was not long after that he reached the first task; retrieve the Charm of Crosis from the Fallen Angel. The angel had powers equal to Harry's and it slowly took out a sword made of black flames. With a grin on his face Harry summoned up a sword of electricity and rushed forward at the angel. They matched blow for blow and Harry slashed low which the angel jumped over and did a downward slice at Harry who backed out of the way quickly. It rushed at him and Harry followed a series of defensive blocking maneuvers before faking a slice to the side and slipping around the other side and attacking the angel from behind.
The angel had anticipated this and blocked it with its own sword.
"Enough games, how about we try physical combat?" inquired the Angel.
Harry agreed and they threw their swords aside before rushing at each other. Harry delivered a quick series of blows to the stomach of the angel before the angel retaliated by slapping him around and knocking out some teeth. Harry brought up his arms as the angel bicycle-kicked at him and grabbed the legs, spinning the angel around and around before sending it into a tree headfirst and knocking it out.
Grabbing the charm from the unconscious angel Harry proceeded forth through the obstacle course collecting more items from different opponents. As he neared the end he had collected:
Charm of Crosis
Charm of Darigaaz
Charm of Treva
Charm of Dromar
Charm of Rith
He had also collected a spell book, some other miscellaneous charms, and a couple of rings and other magical jewelry. He was quite happy that he was almost through the course and as Harry took another step forward, 6 people appeared in front of him. The first one was dressed all in green and he stepped forward.
"I am the Avatar of Might. I control Nature and am your first opponent," it said.
Harry nodded and replied, "How shall we duel?"
"How about spells?"
"That's fine with me."
Without the slightest warning Might raised his hand and the trees surrounding Harry stood up on their roots and began to walk towards him.
"Oh, that'll work," laughed Harry. "Scoppio di Fuoco!"
Without breaking a sweat Harry had burnt all the trees to crisp with his fireballs.
"Impressive, but how will you fight against this?" Might inquired.
Out of the jungle emerged a mix of plants and animals that walked on vines and legs alike.
Harry yawned and waving his hand at the beast said, "Bullone del Lampo."
A giant blast of lightning shot forth from his hand and incinerated the beast.
"I tire of this," said Harry with a sneer. "TEMPESTA DEL FUOCO!"
Blasts of fire rained down from the sky and soon Might was lying on the ground burned.
"Do you surrender?" inquired Harry.
Struggling to get up, Might replied, "I do. And I grant you more power over nature and increase your strength."
Turning into a glowing green light, Might flew into Harry's body and the next challenger stepped forward, dressed all in blue.
"I am the Avatar of Will," declared the woman.
As soon as she finished saying this she waved her hand and a giant dragon of water arose from the pool nearby, flying at Harry at Mach 3. Using his increased speed Harry jumped out of the way only to be slammed into the ground by its tail.
"Shit," Harry mumbled, spitting dirt out of his mouth. "Schermo Del Ghiaccio!"
A shield of ice enveloped Harry and the dragon hit it, freezing and adding to the power of the shield.
"Got anything else?" inquired Harry.
The woman scowled and raising her hands a dragon made of ice flew out of the pool and sent a blast of snow at Harry. The shield cracked under the colder temperatures of the dragon's breath and he was left defenseless as it charged at him. The dragon nailed him in the stomach and he was sent flying backwards into a tree trunk.
"Damn it," Harry groaned, spitting some blood out of his mouth. "Chiarore Solare!"
With a giant flash of light the sun beamed down upon the creature ten times more violently, melting it to air before turning to Will and burning her severely.
"Do you also surrender?" asked Harry.
"Yes," Will replied. "I grant you increased power over water and ice, better resistance against cold, and increased mental strength."
With that she turned into a blue light and flew into Harry.
With a grin on his face Harry called out, "NEXT!"
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Hermione and Ron were searching around the castle frantically looking for Harry, seeing if he had come back. As they finished checking the rest of the dungeons, a small tremor ran through the building. In confusion they looked around and suddenly the building rocked and swayed as if an earthquake was occurring. The only thing different was that a wave of darkness followed along like a ripple, eclipsing the sun and putting out every light, magical or not in Hogwarts.
"What just happened?" inquired Ron.
"I have no idea, Ron, but it cannot be good," replied Hermione.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Harry had defeated the next three Avatars, Fury, Valor, and Hope. Fury had given him control over his emotions and increased his skills in fire. Valor had increased his magic supply and speed and enhanced his air skills. Hope had purged him of toxins and increased his skills in the light area. The last Avatar was the one dressed all in back. It stepped forward with its cloak flapping around it.
"I am the Avatar of Woe. Anything goes in this battle," stated Woe.
Harry nodded and as he did Woe whipped out a Micro-Uzi from under his cloak and opened fire on Harry. Harry quickly back-flipped away from each spray of bullets and twisting his body, pulled out his handgun and fired at Woe as he landed on his stomach. Woe jumped down to his back and dodged the spray of bullets, while throwing his Uzis away and firing at Harry with some handguns. Harry rolled out of the way and as he stood up he rushed forward at Woe, firing as Woe rushed at him doing the same. The two met in midair and the guns were thrown aside as he and Harry met in a series of punches and kicks, neither landing a hit until Harry faked a punch to Woe's face and punched him in the stomach.
"Gotcha," Harry said laughing.
"Oh really?" inquired Woe with a grin.
Harry looked down at saw Woe's fist at his stomach.
"Oh, you're good," Harry stated as he jumped away.
"I know I am. Modest too," replied Woe.
Harry laughed before taking out some throwing stars and jumping up into the air with a leftward slant. Woe seemed to have anticipated this and jumped in the opposite direction, their throwing starts meeting in midair. As Harry hit the ground he took out the large hammer that hung across his back and ran at Woe. Woe too had taken one out and the two hammers met in midair, falling to the ground on their owners' foots because of the vibration.
"OW!" both exclaimed, hopping around wincing.
As the pain subsided, Harry moved away and sighed. This was going to take a while.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Voldemort awoke in the middle of his chamber and looked around stupidly. He saw a bald man run into the room and over to him.
"Are you alright, my Lord?" the man asked.
"Well, physically, but...who am I?"
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
The battle between Harry and Woe had continued for hours and both were out of everything but the smallest bit of magic.
"It ends here, Woe!" yelled Harry, putting his hands in front of him. "Forza...della...VOLONTE!"
"We shall see, Harry Potter! Forza...della...VOLONTE!" roared Woe.
Out of both of their hands rushed a bright white light. The spells met in midair and a blinding flash of light decimated the area.

Deep in the Chamber of Secrets, Ginny Weasley sat naked in the middle of a pentagram. She had learned she had the parseltongue ability in her Second Year and soon learned that it was because of her previous bond with Tom Riddle. She had since then taken refuge in the Chamber of Secrets, often to think or just to be alone and settle down.
Currently, she was performing an immensely difficult ritual that involved many ancient magicks. She wasn't sure if she would be able to accomplish it. The spell was designed to send a person to wherever their heart's true love was, be that in this dimension or another. She had learned who her true love was during her Third Year when she had been wandering around the castle working on her charms. Fred and George had later been blamed for the disturbance but no one even suspected it was her.
"Sparisca!" whispered Ginny.
She slowly disappeared from sight, the invisibility charm taking effect. With a grin on her face she slowly stalked towards the Slytherin Common Room. As she entered she quickly cast Scintilla so that whenever a Slytherin exited the common room their hair would stand on end. As she walked into the boys dormitory she quickly jinxed all of them to be bright gold and then all the girls to be dark red, the colors of Gryffindor. Next she cast a special spell called Scimmia Ballante, a spell which made the entire group of Slytherins act like monkeys for 24 hours and made them dance.
She exited the Slytherin common room after leaving an Attraggasi spell for Draco so every animal in the school would be swooning over him. She moved on and cast an Acquazzone spell. The result was frequent rain showers opening up inside the school in random places. Next were the portraits which she enchanted to throw puke-colored gobs of goop at people who weren't in Gryffindor.
Moving throughout the school she also enchanted all the banisters with a glue spell so whenever someone put their hand on a banister they'd be stuck to it, and all the windows to act like doors and all the doors to act like windows. Then she enchanted the floor to become ice and made everyone's shoes ice skates. And last but not least, she gave every doorknob in the school some teeth and an attitude.
Struggling to keep her laughter in and exhausted from all the magic she took a wrong turn and ended up in a room she had never noticed before. In the middle of the room was a mirror and she soon learned it was called the Mirror of Erised. Standing in the mirror was Harry, waving at her and smiling.
"Interesting little artifact, isn't it?" asked a voice from behind her.
Ginny spun around and saw Prof. Dumbledore standing there grinning.
"Sir, how can you see me?" inquired Ginny.
"It's a long story Ms. Weasley, but do you know what this mirror does?" replied Dumbledore.
"I have an idea sir; it shows us our true love?"
"Close, it shows us nothing more or less than our hearts deepest desire."
"What do you see when you look in the mirror, Professor?"
"I see my wife; she was killed by the dark wizard Grindewald whom I later defeated. It's been too long and I yearn for death but not until I see the dark wizard of this generation dead. I won't rest until Voldemort dies because I don't want another person to live with the pain that I went through. Now Ms. Weasley, I suggest you get back to your dorm before Mr. Filch catches you."
That was the day she had learned that her love for Harry was more than just a crush.
"Ugh. Concentrate Ginny, stay focused on the task at hand," she mumbled to herself.
Picking up a knife, she cut her wrist letting only a small gasp of pain escape. She smeared her blood along each line of the pentagram and then smeared it across her forehead and chest.
Tilting her head back and letting drops of blood drip down from her forehead into her eyes she called out, "L'amore allineare denominato, lo lasciato detto, lo porta a quello in modo da una rottura non si libera di. Lasciato la vita essere con lui e la vita con me, li ha lasciati essere vita nell'armonia. Portilo la, portilo dove, prendalo lui, lo prendono lui!"
Out of the lines of the pentagram shone a brilliant golden light that spread throughout the entire chamber. When it finally dissipated, the Chamber of Secrets was empty once more.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Harry groaned and stood up, looking at the devastation around him. Woe was completely incapacitated and Harry limped over to him.
"Enervate," said Harry,
Woe moaned and opened his eyes before saying, "You have won Harry Potter. I grant you increased defense against dark spells, better night vision, and this."
Woe held forth a golden chain that had a silver-blue orb at the end. As soon as Harry had grabbed it, Woe transformed into a black light and flew into Harry. With a smile of victory, Harry limped towards the ending gate when a brilliant flash of golden light spread forth in front of him. When it finally disappeared and he could see again, he was astonished to find an unconscious and very naked Ginny Weasley lying in front of him.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
It was a couple hours later and Ginny found herself waking up to Harry's worried face.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're alright!" cried Harry as he wrapped his arms around her. "Now that I know you're okay...What the hell do you think you were doing!?"
"I'm sorry, Harry, but I was really worried about you so I performed this spell that transported me to you," Ginny replied.
Harry sighed and sat back before saying, "I understand, just please don't ever do that again. Now, what do you plan to do while you're here?"
"I was hoping you could teach me some magic and other skills, I want to help in the fight against Voldemort."
"Really? Hmmm... I don't think Alex would mind taking on another student and then once we're back at my house you can take some lessons from me. Do you have an idea what's going on with Voldemort right now?"
"Yea, at the last Order of the Phoenix meeting, I was initiated and it turns out that Voldemort did some of ancient power potion. The entire castle had shaken and every light was turned out. News reports all over the world, Muggle and wizard reported that every light in the world had been turned off for exactly one hour."
"Oh bother. It won't be long before he begins to summon the 8 other princes of hell. I just pray to God that he doesn't try summoning Lucifer himself, I don't know if the Earth would survive the ordeal. He has enough power right now to crack it in half."
"Who is Alex by the way?"
"My trainer, I appeared here and her Arch Griffin helped me to get here, she's training me. First, if you want to get trained, we better get you equipped."
Harry smiled and snapped his fingers. The wall next to them opened up revealing a large room with racks and racks of different weapons.
"My weapons of choice are the Neutrino 4000, some Micro Uzis, a sword, a couple of knives, and other mixed weapons," said Harry.
With a confused look on her face Ginny said, "Neutrino 4000, what's that?"
"It's an advanced Sprite weapon with five settings. Warning, Hurt, Stun, Injure, and Extra Crispy. Nuclear battery too, thing will outlive me by over a couple thousand years." replied Harry. "Now what do you want?"
Ginny looked around at the weapons and carefully selected a number of weapons and potions from the shelves and when she was fully equipped she looked quite formidable. She wore a blood red cloak and her red hair was tied up in a blood red piece of cloth that held a small Port key. Inside the cloak were two Neutrino 4000s, 6 five inch knives made of magically strengthened silver, one Wakizashi, a couple packets of napalm, two 9mm standard issue handguns, twelve little vials holding these potions:
3 Smoke Screen Potions
3 Apparate-In-a-Bottle Potions
3 Explosion Power Potions
3 Grief Memory Potions
On her person she had two Micro-Uzis on shoulder-holsters and on her belt she had her wand in the typical Auror wand-holster. Also on her belt she had a small scimitar and two hand grenades. On her back were two samurai swords and a RCP-120 rapid-fire machine gun. On each pant leg she had a gun, and a knife.
Inside the pockets of her cloak she had a couple more grenades, a mini pick-ax, and a couple of small vials containing a number of vile toxins and fluids.
On the back of her cloak were a bow and a magical quiver that never ran out of arrows.
"Wow," whispered Harry. "You look good!"
"You think so huh? I want to go try my skills on something," Ginny replied.
Harry grinned and rubbed his hands together, "Oh, I think I have the perfect thing for you to face."
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Are you sure about this Harry?" called Ginny.
"I'm right behind you, if anything happens, I'll be down in a flash! Now remember, do not let it sting you!" replied Harry. "Baloth stings are deadly but lucky for you, the food that Alex cooks has a bit of anti-venom in it and you won't die instantly, so we can save you, but it's dangerous!"
Ginny nodded and stepped forward, blowing the horn that called a Baloth. Before long, she heard the thunder of footfalls and backed away hesitantly as the beast came into view. A sixty foot tall beast stood in front of her with gigantic massive arms and a horn protruding from its nose and head. Gigantic wings sprouted out of its back and two smaller legs balanced it along with a ten foot long tail that had a gigantic stinger on it.
"Harry..." sighed Ginny. "If I'm stung by that, the poison won't matter. The gigantic gaping hole in me will!"
Harry stifled a giggle and the beast opened its mouth letting out a bone-shattering roar.
"Well, lets get this done, shall we?" inquired Ginny.
Taking out one of the vials from a pocket labeled Erumpent Fluid then doused the tips of her arrows in it and with the speed and accuracy of a professional she nocked the arrow and drew the string back, firing at the beast. The arrow which had been magically enhanced to pierce even the toughest hides, exploded as soon as it hit the beast. A small chunk about the size of Ginny had been blown off the beast and it looked rather pissed, even if a wound that small was only a flesh wound to it.
With amazing speed for something so large it flew up in the air and dived at her, swiping its poison covered claws at her. Jumping upwards, higher than the beasts head, she nocked another arrow and fired. She did this again and again as she rose, little chunks coming out of its horns and scalp. It roared in fury and flew up higher, its teeth gnashing dangerously at her. A quick bite caught her foot but because the mouth was so big, she was able to shake loose before it ripped the foot from her body.
"So, you wanna kick it up a notch, fine!"
Taking out the two Neutrino 4000s she set the power to Extra Crispy and opened fire at the beast. The blasts had a surprising effect and since the beast had its mouth wide open at her, she knocked out most of its teeth with the blasts. As the beast grew angrier, blood flew from where the missing teeth had been situated and some landed on her cloak, eating through the spell-protected leather as if it were cotton. Surprised by this she hesitated, and the beast caught her with a backhand and knocked her to the ground, the Neutrino 4000s flying over ninety feet away from her.
Being so high up, she landed with a hard thud and blood flew from her mouth as she created a sizable crater in the ground.
'Harry didn't warn me about this, I'm going to kill him,' Ginny thought.
Springing up she took out her handguns and backpeddled as she opened fire. The bullets however, only bounced off the protective plating of the beast and ricocheted in all directions, a fragment catching her in the shoulder. The beast slammed its tail against the ground sending a shockwave and knocking her off her feet. As she fell backwards she noticed an area on the tail that was covered with a lot of protective plating and she grinned, realizing that this was its heart area. Beasts had different anatomies and it was all for the best.
Springing up once again she took out an exploding potion bottle from her cloak and threw it at the beast's tail. Dirt and scales flew in every directions and the beast roared in pain. As the dirt cleared, Ginny gasped. The scales were regrowing! But she took notice of the side effect on the beast. It grew slightly shorter as this happened so it must be using its own body nutrients to heal itself. Taking the increased metabolism idea into effect, she reasoned that this must also mean that the beast was getting hungry and things that were hungry were more ravenous than when they were angry. Primal urges overpowered all.
'Primal urges, that's it!' she exclaimed to herself.
"ATTRAGGASI!!!" she cried.
She watched as an illusion popped up of an obviously female Baloth. The male stopped its roaring and blinked at the female before moving towards it.
"NOVA DEL VELENO!"
Green blasts of energy flew outwards all around her and Harry ducked so as not to be poisoned. The female Baloth disappeared and the male was quickly hit by at least fifty blasts of the poison. It roared in pain and the poison quickly spread by the increased blood flow caused by the thrashing.
"Scoppio del Sporcizia!"
The dirt around the beast exploded and debris flew into the beast's eyes, blinding it.
"NOW TO END THIS! ESPLODA!" she screamed.
The beast's tail exploded, along with its heart. It let out a high-pitched keel and fell to the ground, writhing, before the rest of the body exploded in a gigantic fireball. As Ginny picked up the weapons she had dropped the puzzled over this until Harry walked over to explain.
"There's a problem with having your butt next to your heart. You hit some methane pockets and well, BOOM!" chuckled Harry, throwing her arm around her.
Ginny kissed him lightly on the cheek before laughing and running off towards Alex's. Harry stood there dumbfounded for a few minutes before building up enough mental power to chase after her.
"HEY, WAIT UP!" he called.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Good, the prophecy is beginning to be fulfilled. It's amazing how powerful that girl is without training. She shall soon be near Harry's strength, well would be, except that with those magical items he got from that quest, he's twenty times more powerful. But she's no creampuff either. Odd, I really have to go look over that prophecy again," muttered a woman as she watched from afar. "He's going to need her in times to come, I just hope that she's up to the challenge........"
Looking at the locket inside her palm, she sighed at the face of her husband. Why did the damn guardians have to let her come here and not James? It wasn't fair! Wiping a tear from her eye she waved her hand and transformed once again from Lily to Alex.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Finally, three weeks had passed and it was time for the two to go back to their own dimension. Alex, for some reason, was really upset about this and broke down crying. When Harry asked her what was wrong she started babbling and sputtering.
"I promise I'll come back and visit you Alex! SEE YOU LATER!" he called.
The two disappeared in a blinding flash of light, and Alex collapsed to the ground in grief.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
As Harry appeared in the wilderness near about ten miles away from Voldemort's castle, he wondered where Ginny was and realized that she must have been transported back to the place she got to the dimension from. It was then Harry realized that he was in the middle of a camp of vampires. Harry quickly dispatched most of them and just when he thought it was over, a blast of energy hit him in the back and sent him flying. As he landed, he spit out the dirt and turned around to see a pale figure standing there.
"Well, well, nice to see you too, Ertai. I thought you had died when I set fire to the vampire hold," chuckled Harry.
Ertai merely glared at him. "Shut the fuck up, Potter. I am older now, and you don't stand a chance."
With that, Ertai's eyes were flooded with crimson power and the wind spun around him. The earth began to shake and Harry grabbed on to a sapling near him to prepare him for what happened next. The wait wasn't long and a 500 mph blast of wind shot forth from Ertai and would have blown Harry around the world and back if he hadn't prepared himself. Just as Harry stood up, Ertai let out a screech that Harry recognized as a vampire call.
"Oh shit!" exclaimed Harry.
The forest grew darker and before Harry knew it, he was surrounded by over 600 vampires, young and old.

A Wakizashi is a sword primarily used by samurais. If the samurai got caught, he would use that blade and kill himself which is why it is also called a suicide blade.
