Stonehenge: Summer Solstice, Night 1997:

Stonehenge was a gathering place for renewal and light. It was not to be used for dark things and if those gathered had known that, they never would have done what they were doing. Or perhaps they would, Bellatrix wanted power and she was going to get it Hue, well he thought what he was doing was right, which it was not and soon those here would find out how badly things were going to go. Waiting not far away, protected by the ancient site were Charlus, Harry, Ginny, Luna, Hermione, Sue Li and Susan Bones. They were going to lead this battle as Bellatrix had to simply be stopped.

Back at the ceremony Bellatrix, clad in turquoise robes with a feathered headdress was going to find out that she was not going to get her way. She had with Greyback who, despite being a werewolf had figured out how to come back, she could not have that and so now he would stay dead. She was going to enjoy this time, the muggles were gone and they would not be back until the next morning, if ever if she had her way. Bellatrix had a human, a young child of perhaps twelve and she used this for the human sacrifice, letting her blood drip over the heart.

"I call on Qin Shi Huang to help me purge this land!" Bellatrix said, "I offer the blood of this virgin on this spot for you O great one!"

"I call upon you my master to head the call to help our people!" Hue added.

"Come help us this day!"

There was a rumbling and a sound like the wind and then, before them stood the figure of a man in splendid Chinese robes. He did not look happy at all, he looked around the ancient site, at the dead girl before the alter and then at those before him. He took in the robes that Bellatrix wore and then at Hue who was prostrate on the ground before him. With a motion Hue was on his feet. The emperor, for emperor it was walked around the site and looked to where the girls were hidden, Hermione swore she saw a faint smile before he turned back to the duo.

"Why did you call me?" The emperor asked.

"To help cleanse this earth." Bellatrix replied, "I own the heart."

"Do you now?" The emperor asked looking amused, everyone but Bellatrix was wondering how he knew English so well, she was so intent on forcing him to his will. "No, you do not own the heart."

"Master, I am your humble servant, China is in peril…"

"Silence, Li Su come forward, hiding does not do you credit." The emperor said, "bring your army with you."

Su came forward trembling badly, she did not want to be here, a library was far better for her. She knelt and bowed with her head to the floor and was bid to rise. Bellatrix was rooted to the spot, she had toyed with things she had no right to and now she was going to pay for her sins. The emperor looked very amused, he was not angry as one would expect, but then being dead did bring humor to a once humorless life. He spread out his hands to show the chains on his wrists and Su understood. She walked to her uncle and took the heart from him.

"In life I was a scourge you could say, yes I created China as a united whole, but millions died for that. I was merciless in an age of cruelty, pain and human sacrifice. I did clear the land of those who used human sacrifice but then I went too far, took too many lives, I was bound and locked in a tomb to stay until the end of time." The emperor said.

"That tomb has been found." Hermione said, "the muggles could open it at anytime."

"Have they?"

"No your highness they have not." Hermione replied.

"No, nor should they, let things lie there, knowledge yes, and works of art yes, but misery and pain to those who open it. Yet the heart can summon me, Bellatrix what did you hope to use me for? To scourge the earth? I have no power to do that, only advice can I give now."

"Master…"

"Silence traitor!" The emperor said, "you betrayed your family, it was not a noble cause for what you did. Now you will die."

"Sire, what of us?" Luna asked.

"You are the hand to rid the land of all this, not I." The emperor said, "this is not my lands, I cannot help nor hinder, but do not dwell on revenge or anger, it leads to darkness and captivity, I should know, I have had thousands of years to think."

"Then I will take care of things myself!" Bellatrix snarled raising her wand.

She never got to use it, once more, what she did not know about the heart is that it needed a captive, one who was guilty of grievous crimes, and Bellatrix was guilty as guilty could be. The emperor smiled a real smile and was gone in a flash, only for Bellatrix to scream out in shock and be drug into the heart. Sue walked up and picked it up to turn to her uncle who was crying. She almost felt sorry for him but he had brought this on himself after all. He gave out a cry, broke into thirty pieces and was gone. Sue did not want the heart, it no longer held the emperor and she wondered what that meant. Still the demons and such were still here and needed to be dealt with, as they always did.

Hogwarts: July 1997:

Summer had come and Harry was enjoying his summer outside swimming with Ginny and Luna. Charlus had come as had Hermione, Ron, Neville, Susan Bones and Sue Li. Sue was going back to China for a time, she had the heart and was not going to say what she would do with it. Bellatrix had messed with things better not messed with and had suffered for it. The battle had been short and more evil destroyed, but it would come back and try again another day, but not for a long time. Now everyone was enjoying the large pond at the Burrow thinking only of lazy summer days.

"So who wants to go to Blackpool?" Harry asked.

"What is that?" Charlus asked.

"Muggle amusement park, I think you will like it." Harry replied, "mother went as a girl and it is still there."

"Well I should hope so, it's been there since 1896, and owned by the same family." Hermione said, "let's go, Charlus you will find it fun."

"Yea? You lot don't mind me tagging along?"

"Nah, the boy who lived should get to go to Blackpool." Harry said and at a look from Charlus. "I don't want that title, and you know why."

"I do, my duty but you deserve the credit, not me." Charlus replied.

"Let Harry give you something." Lily said walking up with Frank and Alice, "I think we all should go, have a day of it."

"I would not mind coming." Severus said, "it has been years since your parents took us."

"You children can go do your thing when we get there, after all you are responsible." Lily said smiling.

"How much fun are amusement parks?" Ron asked.

He found out as soon as he got there. He saw the food, as did most of the teens and they ate hot dogs, hamburgers, fries and corn on the cob before they headed to their first roller coaster. As they were magical and used to rather rough transportation their stomachs handled the rides fine and the cleaning crew was grateful they did not get sick. They alternated from eating and riding the rides to watching shows and having a grand day of it. Ron was in heaven, he loved the food, the rides and though the place was packed with barely clothed muggles, he did not mind.

While everyone was in muggle fashion they did get a few strange looks, magical are a bit more modest than the mundane and so the girls were in tee shirts and shorts that were not really all that short and the boys were in tee shirts and shorts. This was in contrast to all the halter tops, tube tops, daisy dukes and so on the girls wore and a style of boys having their underwear peak out from their baggy shorts. Still the magical teens did not stand out to terribly much and enjoyed their time in the park. Peace had come to the land and Harry was happy. Charlus was a friend now and a good friend, he was not a jerk or stuck up, he had just been hurting all those years.

"Oi, look an eating contest!" Ron said, "100 pounds for the winner."

"Yea, enter mate, you should win." Harry said laughing, Ron could eat a lot even for a wizard and he should enjoy this. "You deserve it."

"Yea, I will do just that."

Ron walked up and saw to his delight it was a pie eating contest and he signed up and joined the large men and two smaller women on the stage. He knew he would have to worry about the women most. He was right, it was an hour contest to see how many pies one could eat. By the time the hour wound down it was just him and a small slip of a woman next to him left. They tied with the most pies eaten, and so were declared co-winners. To show how much Ron had grown up, he grinned at the cameras and graciously split the money with the girl. Then he went and bought more food, not for him, for his friends, he was actually not feeling like eating anymore for once.

Later that night the teens headed home, and Harry came to Rosewood Hall to see his birth father outside waiting to talk to him. It was then that Harry realized it was midnight and his birthday to boot. He thought James wanted to talk to Charlus and was going to go in when James stopped him. He looked nervous and stood with his hands in his pockets, then he took out a package and handed it to Harry. Harry opened it and saw it was a watch, a very nice one too. He looked up at James.

"Look I know I never was a dad to you and Vernon well, he is, I asked him if I could give this to you, he told me what you would like and well, I wanted to give this to you on your coming of age." James said, "I can never say sorry enough but I mean I want to be part of your life on your terms if you want it."

"Well it is late, perhaps tomorrow you could come for tea?" Harry replied.

"I would like that, yea." James said, "tea, that would be nice."

"Okay, see you then." Harry replied.

He walked in to see his mom and dad watching TV, he talked a bit with them then went to bed. As he lay in bed reflecting on his life he realized he had a very good life. All was really well and his future looked very bright indeed.

The End
