Chapter 12

"What do you mean?" Sirius asked sitting bolt up right, then he immediately slumped back down again, as he felt pains shoot through his head.

"Voldemort is here" Harry said "He is in the reception right now, I can feel it"

"Right, Order members up stairs now!" Kingsley Shacklebolt shouted, after hearing Harry's comment, snapping him out of his daze, after he had watched Harry pull someone out of the veil of death, a thing that had never been done before and all those who had attempted had been killed along with the person they were trying to save. 'maybe Sirius wasn't actually as far in as I saw, it could have been a trick of the light, no one lives after they have their body in to the veil itself, I mean I know Harry is powerful, but he couldn't bring someone and their soul back from the land of the dead, that's more like… no power anyone on Earth could possibly have, yes it must have just been my eyes' Kingsley thought.

"We can't just take him on, we need some sort of plan" A Member said.

"Yes, try not to get killed" Kingsley said.

It had become apparent to Harry that Kingsley had become a new leader of the group. All though he wondered why Dumbledore hadn't said anything, Harry looked up to see Dumbledore staring at him, and so was Remus. Remus, who was also thinking along the same lines as Kingsley, came to a conclusion, a conclusion about the white light he had seen when Harry was just a baby.

"I agree to Kingsley's plan, more Deatheaters would have arrived by now, through the un-guarded fire gates. If you are a trained healer could you please tend to the injured, as we will need everyone we can to stay alive, Tonks could you please run a message up to the minister of magic, I do believe that we have enough evidence to prove that Voldemort is back"

"Yes Sir" Tonks said, then disappeared out of the door back in to the corridor.

"Do you think that this is the final fight?" A member asked.

"I do not think so we have many other things to do, but I do believe that we will be able to be rid of one or maybe even two of our problems" Dumbledore answered gravely. "Remus, Harry and Sirius can you please come over here, we have many things to discus before we make our way back to the reception"

Sirius looked at Harry, having sat up after getting over his head rush.

"Do you know what the old man wants?" Sirius asked, confused, coming back from the dead had put a strain on his thinking abilities.

"I think it is something to do with the fact that you are not dead" Remus answered for Harry.

"Oh, thanks" Sirius said rolling his eyes, then stopped and grew serious for once, why wasn't he dead?.

"We should go and see him" Harry said, who wasn't really looking at either of the marauders eyes.

Remus then helped Sirius get to his feet, and then they all climbed down off of the slap of marble the veil was standing on top of. Then they made the slow journey over to Dumbledore, watching as the wounded people were carried in to the veil room, to be healed. Harry saw our of the corner of his eye Hermione being brought out of her coma like state by Fred and George who looked uninjured.

"You wanted to see us Professor?" Harry said as they stood in front of the elderly headteacher.

"Yes Harry, I do believe that you know of your powers and I do believe that Sekhmet has been teaching you to use your powers, am I correct?" Dumbledore asked Harry, whilst Remus and Sirius's eyes widened.

"Yes, she has been" Harry said.

"What do you mean powers? Who's Sekhmet?" Sirius demanded

"Has this anything to do with the white light?" Remus asked after Sirius has finished his rant.

"Yes, it has everything to do with it, you see on that day…"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room.

"Bring him over here" Fred said to an order member, as they brought Ron in from the corridor. "What happened to him?"

"I don't know we will need to take him back to Hogwarts to be assessed by Madam Pomfrey" Ginny said, Tonks had healed her ankle as she had gone past to deliver her message, then her and Luna had dragged Ron in to the white room.

"Yes I think he will to" Mad eye Moody said, he too had been healed "Miss Weasley, you can escort him back to the castle"

"No I want to help fight!" Ginny yelled, the famous Weasley temper rising.

"No you will go back with Ron" Mrs Weasley said, having arrived with the rest of the back up order members just after the defeated the last few deatheaters.

"But I want to help!"

"You could get injured or even worse, killed! You would escort your brother back to Hogwarts where it is safe" Mrs Weasley said, then created a port key out of a shoe, which was lying next to them. "This should work" She said then she passed it to Ginny, who grabbed Ron.

"The Minister is assembling all of the Aurors, he used a foe glass on the reception and went in to a panic and fainted, but then one of the top Aurors, I think he was called…" Tonks said in a rush as she ran back in to the room.

"We don't need to know the details!" Mad eye said.

"Yes, well there are about fifteen more deatheaters on the reception, and all thought it seems that we can out number them, the Aurors have detected a strange kind of magic circled around them"

"We need to talk to Dumbledore, see what he says" Mad eye said looking over his should with his magic eye, to see of he had finished discussing things with Harry and the others yet. "For now, if we organise ourselves so that we are surrounding the area, then we can attack when needed" Mad eye said.

"Sounds like a plan" An order member said.

Meanwhile, Dumbledore was still explaining Harry to Sirius and Remus.

"So how did he pull Sirius out?" Remus questioned, fascinated by the new powers Harry had and momentarily forgetting where they were.

"I think it was to do with his new powers, I cannot be sure though, but I do believe that because of the powers Harry has, which were given to him from the Gods, he was able to pull you out from the veil."

"Dumbledore" Mad eye said, walking over to him, followed by most of the order of the phoenix "We have news, the Aurors are gathering, and our plan is to surround the reception"

"I do not think that we should do that, if we do, they will find us and destroy is one by one, I can already tell that they are moving" Dumbledore said.

"If we go to the reception and capture the deatheaters which come out of the room, then we can decided what to do from there, it would be helpful if the Order was to shut off the Floo network, so that none of the deatheaters could escape"

"Okay" Mad eye agreed, and then signalled for the order members to follow Dumbledore's instructions.

Twenty minutes later.

Harry was standing by the entrance to the reception area, firing hexes at two deatheaters who was fighting him. They had arrived at the reception entrance, to find that the deatheaters were waiting for them, and Tonks was right, they did have some sort of strange magical power surrounding them, making them even harder to beat, although there were less of them. Harry had wondered to himself why the earlier deatheaters did not have the same protection, but then again Voldemort was probably not expecting for the group of children to put up such a fight. Harry had yet to see any sign of Voldemort himself or Bellatrix Lestrange.

"Freeze" Harry said sticking his hands out, so that the deatheaters could see his palms. The light, which was blue this time, shot out of his scars and hit the deatheaters, literally freezing them where they stood. Covering the deatheaters with sheets of ice seemed to be the only way to stop them.

"Do you know what is protecting them?" Harry asked Sekhmet as he pulled the amulet out of his shirt.

"I think it is Seth magic, which is protecting them" Sekhmet said "If only I could get out of this locket" she all but growled.

Harry then ran to his left, because a deatheater had blown up the left hand side of the reception, where Harry was standing. When he stopped running he found himself in a side room, with Bellatrix Lestrange.

"Hello Baby Potter" She cooed. "Shame I couldn't kill your God-father I will try harder next time" She growled.

"Now, now Bella" A cold voice rang through the room, the voice which belonged to Lord Voldemort. "You know what you job is"

"Hand over the prophecy" Bella snapped at Harry.

"I don't have it"

"Don't lie Potter, I saw it in your hands"

"It's gone now" Harry said, truthfully.

Bellatrix then opened her mouth to speak when Voldemort beat her to it.

"He is telling the truth, the prophecy is no longer in existence"

"What?" Bella said.

"It was destroyed" Another voice answered.

"Dumbledore I knew you would arrive, all the better, now I can kill both of you" Voldemort said, walking over to stand next to Bella.

"I think we shall see the boy-who-lived die first, AvadaKadavra!" Voldemort yelled, firing the curse at Harry.

Harry stood there, wide eyed, time again seemed to be slowing down, watching the curse fly towards him in slow motion. Watching the curse move in slow motion seemed to give Harry an idea, he quickly stepped to one side and then time seemed to speed back up again and the curse missed Harry and hit the wall behind him. So Voldemort threw another curse and Harry moved again, thinking to himself that the ability to either slow down time or move very fast had come from his new powers.

"Stop moving boy!" Voldemort yelled, firing more and more.

"Stop it Tom" Dumbledore said, he had been watching, like Bella the fight going on.

"You don't seem to understand old man, even if my body is again destroyed today, I will not die, I will come back, and you can never win, Bella deal with him, I have more important things to do" Voldemort said then once again turned to face Harry.

"AvadaKadavra!" Voldemort yelled, putting behind the curse every single bit of power he had.

Harry could see that and decided that he couldn't keep dodging the curses; he had to do something about it. So with all the strength he could muster he created a shield around himself. The shield being so strong that the purple light which had come out of his wrists had created a steel like barrier between them, and yet when Harry's fingers touched it the shield felt like rubber. The killing curse flew towards the barrier and hit it, then curse then ricocheted back towards the owner of the spell, Voldemort, having no time to realise what had happened was struck on the chest with the powerful curse. Voldemort's body then hit the wall and exploded in to thousands of little tiny pieces, like he was made of glass. From the power of the curses the room had filled with a smog like dust from when the two spells had hit each other, it took a while for the dust to clear, but when it did, there was no sign of the little pieces of what was Voldemort's body or Bellatrix Lestrange.

Harry stood there breathing deeply.

"Is the war over?" Harry asked looking around the destroyed room.

"No" Dumbledore said. "It has gone back to the stage it was when you first defeated him, with Voldemort neither being alive or dead, but he still has the opportunity to become human once again, but now he is one more down"

"So he could be being re-born right now?" Harry asked.

"No, he is very weak, too weak and is probably miles away from any sort of Wizarding or muggle towns, but he will come back"

"What do you mean by, one more down Sir?" Harry asked the Headteacher.

"That is something I will have to explain at a later date Harry, as we now have a lot of things to do, and I am sure that you will want to go and see Sirius. Would you care for a lemon drop?"

"No thank you" Harry said, thinking about how it probably wasn't the time for sweets.

"Severus" Dumbledore then said "I think this note needs to be delivered to the minister" He said pulled a thick wad of parchment out of his robes. Harry watched as a paler then usual looking Snape stepped out of the shadows of the statues in the room.

"Yes, Headmaster" Snape said looking at Harry the whole time, but this time not with a glare or sneer like his usual expression.

"Harry, now I think you should return to Hogwarts, and rest after all you still have a lot to learn" Dumbledore said, then pointed his wand at Harry and the room was engulfed in a white light.

The End
