Harry Potter and the Legion of the Light Keepers

Chapter 3

Lucius Malfoy wrote his Death Eater friends, asking them about the letter he received in the mail. All of them said they had gotten one, and they were going to attend all the events.

That night they had a meeting at Malfoy Manor. Narcissa went to the Leaky Cauldron for a night because she couldn't bear staying in a house with a bunch of men and their leader.

"I'd like to call this meeting to order." Said Lucius, and everyone stopped talking. They all stood as Voldemort entered and sat down. Then they sat down.

"Ah, the issue is that freak school, Saberhagen. They think they'll be ready for us to attack them? They won't even know." he smiled at them.

"How are we going to get inside? I hear that castle is huge. They have fake doors as well as real ones," asked Avery.

"My daughter left her map of the school here, and she was fool enough to leave instructions on how to work it." Lucius pulled a piece of parchment out of his pocket and tapped his wand on it.

"I now declare that this map is for good use only." Ink lines began to dance across the parchment until an exact replica appeared. Under a small square it said: Write what you want to know here.

Lucius took out a quill and wrote: entrances.

Suddenly, as if magic, entrance points began to glow silver. "Wow, they have at least twenty ways in and out of this castle!" said Wormtail.

"So," said Voldemort, "we can enter from all sides, some of you go alone, others in groups. Our plan will be perfect."

"Hey Master," asked Goyle, "Why are we planning this?"

"So we can kidnap Melissa Malfoy and get Harry Potter to give his life for her, that's why. Now do not question me."

Lucius felt a surge of fear go through him. He hoped nothing would put Melissa in mortal danger.

"I'm so tired," moaned Harry as he went up the stairs to the dormitory. He pushed open the door and saw a peculiar sight.

Timothy sat on the floor, next to a small cabinet sitting on a table next to his bed. Inside the cabinet were statues of Buddha and the goddess of mercy, Kwan-Yin. Harry also saw small black tablets with Japanese characters written on them. The characters were white. His hair was down out of its usually long braid and instead it was hanging around him. He was meditating.

Harry tried to tiptoe to his bed, but Timothy opened one eye and saw him.

"Hi Harry. I'm just over here asking the goddess of mercy to protect the wizarding world from Voldemort, and so far, my prayer has worked."

"What are those," Harry asked, pointing at the small tablets.

"Those tablets honor my ancestors. They are important in carrying my prayer to the gods. I'm about to go to bed now, goodnight Harry." Timothy put out the incense and closed the cabinet, and went to bed.

"OOHHH!" Said Persephone. "Neptune vs. Slytherin! I can't wait to see the hostile reactions of the Neptunian players."

"I play for Neptune. This will be my chance to show Draco that he's a git!!" Melissa grinned evilly.

"What position?" said Harry.

"Seeker. I'm also the captain. I rule."

"I don't think you guys will have a chance. All the Slytherins are big and giant and you guys are all normal sized." Harry said, with a tint of worry.

Melissa winked. "They are going to lose, you just watch."

***

Harry came down to the Pitch to watch the Neptunians practice. He had an urge to snog somebody (mainly Melissa) and was hoping he would be able to catch her after her practice.

He stood on the field, watching her soar higher and higher, her long hair whipping about in the wind.

She shot off, and seconds later, came pelting at him with the snitch in her hand.

"Look Harry, that must have been less than five seconds." she said cheerfully. "Now I'm all hot and tired so I need to go freshen up before dinner. Tomorrow's the big match. All our parents are going to be there!!" Melissa grinned. "You'll get to see my Mum's true color. She hates my father."

Melissa hurried into the changing room, and Harry had to wait patiently for her. She finally came out, and took Harry's hand. They were going for a walk.

Harry looked cautiously over his shoulder, and he could have sworn something ran past them, sooth and angelic, but it made him nervous.

"What's wrong?" Melissa asked, eyeing how he looked at her. "Something's following us."

Harry reached up to his scar and rubbed it. It was paining him.

"Melissa, my scar is hurting.. Go tell someone!" Harry closed his eyes, and Melissa could see he was beginning to cry from the pain.

She took off down the hall, running as fast as her legs could go. She stumbled and fell on something, and then she felt herself being tied up at the ankles and wrists. She tried to let out a scream, but she was too late. They got her, and left a note with her Neptune pin.

***

"She was right!!" Harry yelled, sounding angry, terrified, and worried all at the same time. "They are going to use her to get to me!! Someone has got to find her!!"

"Calm down Harry," Persephone said, but this made him more agitated.

"You are telling me to calm down?? I can't!! The person I care about's life is at stake here!!! And all you guys can do is tell me to calm down!" Harry threw himself into one of the chairs.

"Look, I found this note in the area where Melissa was kidnapped." Cassidy held up a piece of parchment with her pin. Harry took the pin and pinned it on his shoulder. Persephone began to read the note.

Ah, Mr. Potter. I suppose we have never met, and the last time we actually met, you lost me my servant. Now I have lost you your love. If you want to see Melissa alive again, you will do as we wish. Come quietly, to be killed, and she will go free. If you don't, she will become my master's slave and will forget all about you.

Evil is so sweet.

Lucius Malfoy

This really made Harry furious. He got up, and stormed out before anyone could stop him. He was going.. going straight to Draco Malfoy.

Chapter4

Harry yelled the password to the Neptunian common room at Dracoinus the dragon's picture and he swung aside. Harry stormed in, straight towards Draco, who was napping in a chair. Everyone was staring and they stopped what they were doing.

"Wake your lazy ass up and tell me where they took Melissa!!" Harry yelled, and he punched Draco awake.

"I-I-I don't know," Draco said, looking utterly horrified that Potter was beating on him.

"You are lying!" Harry yelled, and he punched Draco again. "Tell me or else!!" at that moment, Sydney and Ashley came down the stairs and heard that Melissa was missing. Sydney strode forward, standing beside Harry, and reaching down. She picked Draco up by his collar.

"You tell where she is or we will bust you." Sydney said coldly. Draco shivered.

"Look I already-

They didn't listen. Harry, Ashley, and Sydney (who was still holding Draco, strode up the stairs until they reached Professor Ravenclaw's office. Persephone was telling them about the note.

"I knew this was going to happen. Melissa told me that she knew it was coming." Professor Ravenclaw looked concerned. "We'll have to assemble the team, and go and get her."

"Look," said Cassidy.

Sydney threw Draco down and he hit the stone with a smack. He looked up at Persephone, who was looking down on him. Her voice suddenly changed, it sounded more adult than that of a teenage girl.

"Tell me what you did with her or else." Persephone said. Draco shook with terror. Persephone bent down and pushed back his sleeve. There was the Dark Mark, shining up at her. She pushed her finger on it and Draco screamed a loud, dreadful scream. It made Harry feel even angrier.

"Okay..." he said between sobs as she let him go. "My father mailed me a letter. He told me, Crabbe and Goyle to find a good time to swipe Melissa. We had been looking for a chance all day, and then we saw you were waiting for her. My father met us as soon as I wrote him. We waited, and we saw you in the hall. My father...cut himself over his Mark to make Harry feel pain. Harry told Melissa to run for help and we grabbed her, and put a silencing charm on the area so you wouldn't hear her scream."

Persephone balled her fist, and then she helped Draco up with her hand.

"You will become a Light Keeper, or we'll dispose of you." Persephone said. Draco began to cry.

***

Melissa was tied to her chair at Malfoy Manor. She had a band of cloth around her mouth so she couldn't scream or talk. Voldemort kept playing little games with her.

He would first go and whisper horrific things he would do to her if Harry didn't come to die for her. She had never been this terrified. Tears ran down her face.

'Harry help me,' she thought. 'Please..'

***

"You listen Harry," said Persephone, If you get into any kind of trouble and you need to be rescued, just call our names in your mind, or just say help me. Got it?" Persephone asked.

"Yes." Said Harry, and then he was off.

***

Harry lit his wand as he walked down the hall. He saw that a door was ajar. He walked in, and then a high-cold voice said, "I've been waiting for you to come for her.."

Harry ran in, right to where Melissa was sitting. She opened her eyes and looked hopingly up at him. He untied her ropes and pulled the cloth off her mouth.

"I was wonder--- she was cut off.

"Harry...look behind you..."

Harry turned and let out a terrified scream. He grabbed Melissa, and they both ran away, screaming for their lives, and Harry thinking: 'Persephone, Timothy, Cassidy..anyone..HELP!!'

And just like that, a voice said, "Leave them alone or else."

Voldemort and the Death Eaters turned around. About twenty children dressed in golden robes stood behind them, all holding lanterns.

Persephone tossed a lantern to Melissa and she caught it. Instantly her robes turned to gold, and she was standing. On her forehead a sun flashed temporarily, and it vanished. Melissa held the lantern in her hands and whispered a word chant.

"Magic Lantern and all your might

Protect us all with guiding light."

All of them began to say this. Voldemort didn't understand. He then told them to attack.

But, the Death Eaters couldn't push them selves to attack.

Harry couldn't believe this. He had never been more filled with hope. He reached over and touched Melissa's Lantern and repeated what she said.

"Magic Lantern and all your might, protect us with guiding light!"

Harry was now dressed in the same golden robes. He then noticed the Light Keepers were raising their wands.

Harry didn't notice. Voldemort and the Death Eaters were ready to attack....

***

"They were just too strong," said Melissa. All the children lay in beds in the hospital wing. Madam Periwinkle had never been this upset.

"What will they do next?" she complained.

"Pray," thought Harry.
