Chapter 1

Harry was thrashing round on the ground in a graveyard by the crucio curse from a snake man from the dead, Voldemort. His screams were loud and Voldemort's followers are enjoying them. By Harry was the body of Cedric Diggory a fellow Hogwarts student who had willing entered the event that had led them here when he had not. When they first arrived by grabbing the Triwizard Cup in a maze Cedric was immediately killed after Harry felt a sharp pain in his head then was bound to a head stone and forced to take part of a ritual that gave his enemy a body.

Now he was is dueling him and losing. His screams got louder. Luck seemed to be on his side now for a guy in white stopped the pain. Harry's last thought was "finally he would be with his parents" he then passed out.

::::::

Before Harry was being tortured and only tied to the headstone unconscious, a tall lean man in a white robe/ hoodie with two arm braces with his hood up and a backpack on was looking into a suspicious power wave that was similar to a sphere of power known as the apple of eden was just a block away across the street.

"Jes are you sure it's here I can't detect it" as he spoke to his floating communication mirror.

"Yes Ray and magic can't detect the pieces. Didn't you read the reports?" said Jes

"No I didn't. When did we get those?" said the one called Rey as he entered an abandoned shack.

"They were at the meetings. Check under the loose floor board" Rey removed the board and picked up the only thing in there.

"Nope just a ring with some dark reading. Not our problem." He put the ring and the board back where it was and started to walk down the room with a hand on the wall "I don't go to those I have better things to do." He stopped after entering the main living area of the shack. "Hollow part in the wall"

"Switch to the right, under the painting. What better things do you have to do, all you do is watch TV and play cards" removing the painting and sliding down the lever.

"Yeah better things. The switch opened a small door."

He removed the door and pulled out a large stone box. He opened the lid and found himself blinded by a bright golden light. When his eyes adjusted he was staring at not a sphere like he had hoped but a long piece of cloth the shroud of eden.

"Jes is it real?"

"Let me check" she held up a silver device to the mirror. "Yep it's the real one bring it back quickly and make sure your not…"

"Shhh...Did you hear something" Rey closed the lid and the two went quite. The moment of silence was broken as loud scream was heard. Rey quickly put the shroud in his bag and raced out of the building towards the screams putting the mirror in his pocket as he ran. When he got closer to the area the screams got louder. He came across a light in the old graveyard and saw multiple people surrounding the source. So he then climbed the house near the near the entrance to the top and didn't like what he saw. A bald pale man with no nose torturing a 14 year old boy and another that looked 17 and dead while the others wore black with their hoods down and knew who they were except the one with the silver handr.

Having had enough of this Rey activated a blade under his left arm brace and leaped from the building and onto the death eater who had the silver hand putting the blade into his neck. He spun around slicing Malfoy's throat, he flicked his right hand and a wand shot out of his right arm brace, catching it and started casting lethal, non-verbal spells at them as he made his way to the pale man. When he reached him the guy moved out of the way and started to fight back but he was drained from holding the torture curse for too long. Knowing he was bet he fled whatever was left of his followers.

When they were all gone in different pops Rey turned towards his victims. There was silver hand, Lucius Malfoy, Cantankerous Nott, Michael Goyle, and Augustus Rookwood the others left during his attack or after. After showing respect to his kills he moved to the unconscious Harry Potter. He pulled out the mirror.

"Jes, it was Harry Potter who was screaming. He's alright but was under the torture curse for a while"

"What about the other one?" the mirror turned scanning the area

He looked and found Cedric. After a minute he answered. "He died by killing curse. Nothing we can do, it's been past an hour since death" releasing a deep sigh.

"Well maybe not I mean we know how to bring back someone that was hit with the curse and you have the shroud. If you use them both it may work if not no loss. I'm not trying to sound dark but he was died before you got there"

"Good point. But still a terrible, just terrible thought.'

I know I know. Please don't hold it against me?"

"I won't promise. Now then let's try this." he pulled out the stone box.

"The most effective way I would say would be to start the spell and right as you finish use the shroud"

"I was thinking similar but with two people. One does the spell and the other uses the shroud at the same time, makes it easier."

"We'll try it later as you seem to forget that you're on your own, now do it"

He then took out the piece of eden, setting it next to him and proceed to start the long process that usually takes 5 minutes but doing it feels longer. He was about done when threw the shroud on the boy covering his head and chest. He finished when the shroud went active and made a flash of bright light. When it died down here was the moment of removed the shroud and placed it back in the box and checked his vitals waiting for any response. After a moment of nothing Rey felt a pulse and he started to breathe.

"Jes it looks like it works but not sure of side effects so may need to keep an I on him. Jes. Jeeesss. Helllloooo" he found his mirror above the Potter boy.

"Rey, there is dark magic similar to the ring under the floorboard in that shack but it's in his scar. I don't know a way to get rid of it. Go get the other one so we can study it then try it on the boy"

"Wait if it is in his body then we do have a way to get rid of the dark magic"

"What way?"

"Tathir Altajarib"

"No. NO. He is not a recruit. He not even 15 years old. NOT happening" Jes huffed at him.

"It purges everything that is harmful to the person and this thing is harmful so are the blocks placed and strain because of it. It's the only way at the moment."

"Yes at the moment so let us think of another way so you don't do anything stupid"

"Jes we don't have time to search for him just help with his scar, hell we don't have time now but he is here and we can do something about it. Do you honestly think that Dumbledore or anyone else in magical Britain can do anything about it? You know as well as I do that they are stuck in the past and won't change"

"OK, ok fine. We'll do it and I will tell the mentor why this is happening but he is your responsibility, got it"

"Oh definitely my dear sister" he bowed on one knee.

"Yeah yeah. Don't mess this up" the screen shut off the mirror fell to the ground. He grabbed it and put it back into his pocket. He went to Harry and revived him. Once awake he grabbed his left arm when the boy started panicking.

"Mr. Potter you don't know me yet but know I am not going to harm you but help you."

"Help me with what?" he asked visibly calmer but still unsure.

"There is a dark subject inside your scar most likely causing your connection to the pale man"

"Voldemort" Harry said bluntly

"What?"

"That was Voldemort I have been having visions of his where abouts for over a year now told the headmaster and he did nothing about the vision it self or to stop them" Harry said not sure why he was telling him this.

"You don't say" he pulled out his mirror and said Jessamine. "Jes the leader of the group I fought was this pale man with no nose"

"Right" said Jes

"Well apparently the Potter boy says it's Voldemort"

"The one he kill at infancy?"

"The same and I believe him. Everyone else were accused death eaters. More than one free death eater gather to meet some guy not leader in a graveyard definitely him."

"The Wizarding world won't believe us or him especially with Fudge in charge"

"I know. Let the others know" the screen went blank and he turned back to Harry.

"Now there is a way to get rid of the thing in your head. But there is a side effect."

"What is it?" Harry asked

"It is called Tathir Altajarib. The thing is...is that you would be become one of us. We are assassins and I trust that you won't tell anyone not approved by the us, the assassins brotherhood. Basically you will become an assassin"

"An assassin. You mean I become a murder"

"No no. We don't kill innocent. Those we do kill have done terrible things or will. The rest will be informed later if you join but you must decide now. The trials will get rid of it and the binds it placed."

Not sure what he wanted to do. On the one hand the connection to voldemort and probably the source of his nightmares would be gone. On the other he may become a killer. Will become a killer. Thinking about it more he finally came to a decision.

"I'll do it. How do we start?"

"Good. First give me your arm" Harry did as asked. "Not that one the other one. I don't know any healing spells. Now this may burn but only for a second or two."

"Umm how does this work exactly?" Harry sounded nervous and was visibly shaking.

"Don't be scared almost every magical member went through this but only a few are truly affected by it. You will live through your ancestors and develop their skills but not physical strength through what is called the bleeding effect. The trial is a magical version of the Animus at Abstergo but without the machines and only on magicals. Major side effects are slight helotianations, short term memory loss, a numbness on your tongue, and an abnormal diet"

"Ok. I can do this" Harry said but still suddenly not sure.

"Great now repeat: I, your name, accept these trails to become an assassin for the brotherhood. I am not to tell anyone of this that is not in the brotherhood currently or given permission or will face the consequences. I shall complete the trials to the end and not deny their callings. I accept these teachings to become an assassin" Harry did so with slight hesitation.

"I assassin veteran Rey Barnett take Harry Potter to complete the Tathir Altajarib and take him as my student and give him the title assassin novice. So it is said, so it to bind. Nothing is true, everything is permitted"

A quick flash of light came from his hand before black lines formed into a stylish 'A' on Harry's arm. When the lines stopped moving they glowed for a moment then stopped.

"The trial have started. Let it happen naturally. It will end when the lines disappear and I will know. Only you and I can see them and our mentor. Now let's send you and your friend back to school"

"I can't go back. I got him killed" Harry now had a sad look and tears started to form.

"Harry he is alive"

"Cedric is alive. But how?" shocked that the champion he saw die is now breathing.

"We have our ways and all will be known to you when you're truly one of us. Now how did you get here"

"The cup is a portkey" pointing to the Triwizard cup.

"That makes this easier. Just touch it again and you will return from where you came. Good luck. Oh and tell everyone you were ambushed by death eaters but don't mention Voldemort"

"Why do I need to keep quiet about him? He has returned everyone needs to know so we can prepare and fight back"

"And we will but no one will believe you. If I hadn't seen it myself I wouldn't believe you before looking into it. And with Fudge in charge of the Magical Britain's Ministry he'll make it so that not only no one would believe you but also make you an outcast. He was only elected by death eaters so they can get away with things. The people love him for he tells the prophet what to print and they eat it up but don't worry about it, the bribes that he takes will stop for I just killed it's main supplier" pointing to Malfoy. "So he won't stay in office to much longer and then the assassin's will step in and make it better. Probably. And about the dead guys, say you took some out before their mask were off and you fled with Cedric's help and tell him that too."

"Got it but what about my best friend she will know I'm lying to her"

"Hmm that is a you problem but you can tell her once she is approved when you are an assassin but don't tell her too much OK. I've got to go and so should you. Also a thought bring his body back he may get your godfather free." pointing to Wormtail "Or at least a trial. Fudge can't afford not to but play it right. Make sure to call Amelia Bones. She can be trusted. Alright…. Bye" he disapparated then and there.

Harry grabbed Wormtail and awoken Cedric so he could help him. Cedric was a little disoriented about the events but grabbed the dead like Harry instructed. Harry then grabbed the cup once he had the others and familiar pull of their bodies and the group disappeared from the graveyard.

::::::

They then arrived at the entrance to the maze with a hard slam to the to the ground. A large group of adults started racing towards them.

"Help. I need help." Harry didn't move even when Cedric started to become aware of his surroundings. Dumbledore was the first to reach them followed by McGonagall, the two guest headmasters and Madame Pomfrey.

"Harry, what is wrong? Are you ok?" Said Dumbledore

"No I am not ok are you blind! You know what I don't need you to be here headmaster. I need Madam Bones so you can leave sir. Someone please contact her" Harry shouted.

"Harry I'm sure we don't need Miss Bones to be here. You just need some rest."

"Can it old man there has been an incident tonight and I don't need your interference with something that has nothing to do with you. Well not entirely as of right now. Plus when you do interfere nothing ever changes and nothing gets done, how's the investigation of who put my name in the cup"

"Mr. Potter why do you say it is not the headmaster place to know what happened tonight?" Said McGonagall

"Well for one it didn't even happen on school grounds and he most likely already knows as this could have been easily avoided in the first place"

Suddenly Harry was tackled by a teary eyed Hermione who giving him a bone crushing hug.

"Harry are you alright? What happened? Please don't ever do that again. You scared me to death" crying into his chest soaking his shirt with tears.

"I'm sorry about that Hermione. I'm fine. Nothing serious as I know of. And I'll tell you later. I can't promise you anything but I can try and give you a heads up"

"That will be fine for now" she buried her head deeper into his chest.

Madam Bones arrived with three aurors following her. Looking already mad from getting up from bed as she threw on a robe over her night wear.

"Mr. Potter what is the matter here and it better be good" she said angry like expected

"Madam me an Cedric here" who was on the ground with wormtail "decided to take the cup together for we helped each other out during the tournament and when we did we were portkeyed to a graveyard where multiple death eaters were waiting and we fought as best we could. When Cedric was hit by spell some accidental magic was released knocking back the advancing attackers. I took that advantage and stopped holding back as a matter of survival. Some ended up dead by cutting and blasting curses. The others fled in fear but only a few. I took this one here for he was the leader and I also recognised him as he didn't have a mask like the others."

At that moment his vision started acting weird. Madam Bones was turning blue along with Hermione and the staff besides Snape, Moody and Dumbledore also Ron to. Everyone else was grey. He blinked and everything went back to normal. He waited but nothing happened. He decided to figure it out later.

"Well Mr. Potter care to tell me who this is." sounding more angry for how this had happened then at him.

"Of course where are my manners, Peter Pettigrew - Madam Bones, Madam Bones - Peter Pettigrew. I also told the Minister that he was alive last year but he didn't listen. I also demand a trial for Sirius Black for I wish to know what happened that night 13 years ago and now only he can tell me"

Though she didn't show it Amelia was smirking for how he had tied the rope around Fudge's neck. "We shall have it done Mr. Potter" she responded.

Hermione was proud of the way Harry was using the situation to help Sirius and how the night played out, scared that he almost died again, mad because he almost died again, happy that he didn't die and many other emotions that needed checking but one thing was sure, she could tell that he was hiding something and decide to let him reveal it to her when he can.

"Now Mr. Potter we need you to get to the hospital wing before Pomfrey throws a fit" Harry answered but also tried a hunch he had because of the glowy vision thing.

"Of course Madam Bones I do know how she can be"

"I heard that Potter" Said Pomfrey who was with Cedric.

"But where is Madeye? He should be here, wasn't he the one who placed the cup maybe he can find out who messed with it"

Amelia's auras that were with her searched for Moody and found him spazzing out in a hallway before turning into Barty Crouch Jr. They bound him and took him to the Ministry.

"Thank you Mr. Potter for your idea. As it turns out the Madeye that has been teaching you this year is a death eater thought to be dead and sent here to kill you as a means to resurrect his master"

"I don't know anything about a resurrection but I may a foiled it when we started attacking or not" Harry just shrugged and turned away.

Amelia was not convinced but decided to drop it for now, she had work to do. What she didn't know was that she just proven his theory. People who glow blue are good and are friends while those red are his enemy which means that Ron and Dumbledore are after him as well.

::::::

Harry was now in a bed in the hospital wing and everyone just left even a dog who really needed a bath, except for Hermione. She kept giving him this uneased look, so he decided to help her out before she explodes with questions and rips him a new one.

"Hermione I can't tell you anything yet but maybe next term. I know it's a long way but I still don't even know. I will tell you this, someone came to help me and has done more to help in one night than the headmaster in four years and I only know his name."

"Can you trust this person? I want you to be careful Harry" said Hermione

"I will be Hermione. He also gave me a way to get rid of my connection to Voldemort. Which is who set up the ambush. He is now back and I know what the people here would do, so I lied about it for the time being. You believe me right?"

"Of course I believe you, I always will. I just can't believe he is back. Will getting rid of the connection stop your nightmares?"

"That is what I wish to know as well and hope for it to be true"

"Miss Granger I'm sorry but you must leave so he can rest. You may come back tomorrow morning if he isn't out yet" said Madam Pomfrey walking over to the two.

Hermione gave Harry a final hug before leaving the wing. Harry then was given a dreamless sleep potion but what he experienced was not a dream making the potion pointless.

::::::

"Where am I" Harry said he was in a white plane. Nothing to go and nothing to see it was only him. Suddenly the ground started to shake and several silver square pillars rose from the ground. When it stopped the space between the close pillars started glowing.

"What are these things?" he asked no one but got an answer.

"These are the memories of your ancestors locked within your DNA." said a voice "Each and everyone has power and skills that can and will be useful to you. Step through a gate and you will live their lives"

"Who are you. Where are you" as he said a big dark cat jumped right behind him from the top of one of the pillars not making a sound.

"I'm behind you" Harry turned around and jumped back falling down.

"Be calm I can harm you even if I wanted to" said the talking panther. "You may call me Vey"

"Ok Vey, why are you a talking panther? Are you my subconscious or something?"

"You don't like this form I can take another this one just happens to be your animagus form but I can do others like" he turned into Hermione "people from your memories even those you barely remember" turning into his mother "if not people then how about culture references" he turned into a Alpha from Power Rangers with his teddy bear. "How about his one, ai yi yi"

"Ok enough just be the panther. You said it was my animagus form when can I do that?"

"When you're ready but you must also training your body to handle it but that is for later. Now step through one of the gates and the trials will officially began"

Harry stood there a minute deciding on which gate to go through finally after picking one he walked to it and stop. Slowly he walked through the gate and into the memory of his assassin ancestor, Edward Kenway.
