Time passed quickly at Hogwarts it was soon only 3 weeks till everyone goes home for the summer. Which the group was thankful for they were excited for the holidays away from Dumbledore. They all had plans to go back to Canada since he would never find them there. Even if he did there was nothing he could do. They never trusted him anymore after the trail after the christmas break. Especially since the trail was almost a farce and he only lost his ICW position and was not chief warlock as well. The group was still nervous though, they knew there was something coming. Harry especially felt worried he could feel something was wrong with in the castle itself. Hell every day in DADA class him and the professor always had a glaring match. It seemed the man was not happy with him. Well considering there has been three incidents that involved him. Harry soon would make his eyes slit and it would make the man shudder and focus on the class. Everyone always reacted that way. Well except for the group of friends of Harry. They seem to like it when he does it since everyone backed off and left them all alone. Sure they had some mild friendships with some other students but not as close as their group was.

Vanessa and Nymphadora were also approached the day after Harry went in the hospital room. They of course accepted the offer of being apprentices which was near a seven year program. Which somehow was the same as the amount of time Harry was staying in school. Dumbledore of course tried to stop that from happening of course. But Pomfrey pointed out that any healer is allowed two apprentices no matter the age. As long as the two were above first year students and had the true mindset of a healer in which these two did. So the two doing some everyday was never bad thing and they were learning a lot from her. The group and Pomfrey knew exactly why he did not like it. Vanessa and Tonks have shown they like Harry in public with kisses, such as to the cheek or rarely a true kiss. Those were for when they were only together as a group Neville and Hannah and Susan were getting very close as well. It seems Albus doesn't want anymore girls around Harry. All because they would notice if anything was wrong with him or the girls themselves. Or if all their own behaviors change to much to be normal. Pomfrey also agreed with these even after the few conversations with albus always left her with headaches. She had Vanessa check her for potions and charms after every conversation. Which so far has been clean and he hasn't tried anything. Showing the man also had some tact or knew when not to do anything drastic.

The group was discussing the DADA professor and his behavior as of late. He seemed to be even more stuttery and always checking his shadow as he walked around the school. He did try to avoid touching students especially Harry. He was worried about his girlfriends and betrothed. The man was dangerous no matter what he he showed to the rest of the school. He would have to bait the man was till the twins came up as he was thinking. They did try to prank him and Vanessa but it seemed they could not get them. Nothing they did seemed to work or the pranks ended up against them. When they tried the others of the group they soon were pranked hardenough the entire school almost felt bad for them. He looked at them and they froze."May I ask what the dethroned twin pranking kings want? I am trying to figure out the big riddle to get past a obstacle, that may save some one or many people. So I don't really have the time for you two at the moment."

The twins smiled before doing the classic pingpong twin speak they were famous for."Well master Harry. WE may be able to solve that. If your curious a simple box to play music my calm the savage beast of the underworld. Time enough to find a hidden fall under a door, while a light may clear a path in the dark. eyes and speed of a dragon may keep up to the key. While a master of tacs can cause the king to fall. Beyond that is unknown to us, the DADA has tried a few times and has failed so far to get past the kings. But who knows maybe it wasn't the answers you need but maybe you will have more time for your treasures to present some stones." With that the twins left quickly since they had pranks to plan and products to make. Harry in the meanwhile frowned for a second before he shook his head. He had to desided avoid conversations with them in the future. They provided a version of whiplash from their twin speak. He was confused for a minute they had worse riddles than a Sphynx. Which most kill the person for trying to figure it out. Maybe they had Sphynx blood flowing through them.

Then suddenly as if hit by a lightning bolt the answer came to him. They just gave way the ways through the tests, well the ones they found so far. Or the fact the Voldemort vessel is trying and somehow failing to get through the tasks. Which is amazing considering the fact two third years have no trouble and yet he couldn't do it. This must be driving the vessel insane and the spirit as well. Harry soon was running to the Ravenclaw the stones where they met before. He sent four patronuses to get everyone there and this of course did not include the teachers. Since they were protecting the stone and under oath not to say outright the tests of it. Harry got there before the rest of them and soon casted some charms and wards around the stones. He did have to give it to the twins they were masters of information gathering and were smarter than what they showed. Then again those two's pranks where of course failing most of the courses so they avoid getting ministry job like their mother wants for them.

Soon the friends and loved ones where showing up at their little hide away outside. After a few minutes of them all staggering in at different times they were all together. Harry soon explained everything to them that the twins said and most of them agreed. They now were worried about how the DADA professor was also trying to get through the challenges. Yet he also seemed not serious about it, it was as if he was waiting for the right moment to strike to finish it. Yet it seemed the meddler was not doing anything about it.

Vanessa snapped after hearing the story and what it might mean."Harry I remember madam Pomfrey was saying there was a session for the council tomorrow and Albus was invited to speak for some reason. I know Flitwick is going as is my mom for your seat proxy's. From which I know that the seats really have caused hell and confusion on the council. I believe the session is for next friday. It might be the time for him to act since the meddler will be gone." Harry nodded and knew that was when he would go for it then. Even if it was fruitless since the stone was gone. But they still had to deal with him he was too dangerous to be around the school. There was many things that could happen if they did not deal with the man. If he wasn't dealt with then maybe the students or even the rest of Britain might be in danger.

They all agreed to wait for the professor to go down and maybe the shade of Voldemort as well. In which Vanessa would set up a rune to let them known when he was going there. Then soon as it was tripped they would head down to stop the man. Harry would alert them and the few teachers. All with small Patronuses and when they started the challenges. Even if by now they wouldn't be that bad besides the chess board they knew that was there. They were curious if they could just watch it or would have to be pieces in which he was worried they would get hurt. Harry did implement if it was pieces then most would leave and leave Vanessa and Harry to do the rest. Even if Hermione and Daphne were not the happiest about it. They did understand since they have more knowledge and would maybe be enough to put up a fight, if it came down to that really. He was the one really that had to go even it technically was playing to the meddlers plans.

The kids thankfully were glad it was friday and the session was tomorrow so sleeping in was a nice option. They knew they would have to act fast as they had planned. Before they could go and do the start their plans they hear the cannon blast. They did not realize how late it was from their visiting. It seemed to make the time pass before their eyes. Which for the group was not a bad thing. It made the school go by faster and made them all closer. They again remember the parents even Neville's grandmother said yes. Hermione's parents soon were actually moving to the estate, so it was less transporting by magical means it was a bit rough on them. So the group as if they were an army headed to supper as one, it was almost as if they were one being. Harry of course was in the front. Staff and his new normal clothes fully now out. He soon notice even if the cannon went off only 3 minutes ago, yet the grand doors were shut to the dining hall. It seemed it was like someone shut them and about 40 percent of the student population. Harry and the group watched as they all turned around at the sound of the tapping of his staff touching the stone work.

Harry looked at the student's there and saw it was ones who respected him or where friendly with him. He sighed and stopped near the group as if he was figuring something else. He felt the magic holding the door shut and realized it was the meddlers and did it purposely. He sighed and let his staff go, it stayed standing as if he was still holding it. He soon walked through the students they all have started to give him space. Which was maybe a good thing since he had some magic rolling off him. As he kept his walk through the students he grabbed the hammer on his hip. The students gasped as he brought it out. People had asked about it but never received an answer. He did have the right to some secrets and they kinda understood that. Of course there has a been a few that tried to pry but he just closed down and refused answer anymore.

Harry was now right in front of the door maybe 4 feet away. A sigh soon left his lips as he held the hammer in his hands. Looking at the hammer as he was contemplating whether or not to use it. He spun it in his hand before gaining a determined look and glared at the doors. Harry drew his hand holding the hammer back everyone finally saw the full size of it and realized most would not be able to lift it. Then as if he was hitting a wall he smashed it into the wards on the door. Which under the strength of the hammer, the wards snapped and the twin doors open. Which then smashed into the wall they were bolted to. This gave a sense of deja vu to everyone. Since Albus did it when he came back in the first term. Just not as much style as Harry did it just now. Harry didn't stop after that he just walked in with every student that was outside. They followed him in like a general as he is off to war. They once were shocked when the students and teachers were staring at them. Some even had their wands drawn with what seemed spells on their lips, yet most of them had wide eyes. Harry's eyes tightened and soon where glowing and had his slitted look. It caused many to falter and some to get a shiver down their spines.

Harry though was focused on the head table and had eyes locked with the headmaster. Everyone soon realized he was having a battle of the minds with the man. Everyone knew this was almost more danger being there now, than before when the doors were closed. A battle of the minds was something dangerous since it can cause major incidents of magic to fly everywhere. To everyone it seemed if the two would wage a war right there. Some were ready to dive under the tables just incase. That was till Harry stepped forward and the headmaster was soon forced back with a force of a blungener. He was sent through his chair and tumbling along the ground till he hit the wall. Everyone was shocked a battle of the minds and the headmaster lost to a 11 year old.

When everyone turned back to Harry they all had their breaths taken way. He was floating about 5 feet in the air with both staff and hammer in his hands. No one figured out how he had his staff again in his hand. Everyone noticed the elements were now floating around her. The candles near him lost their flames, some of the loose cobblestone broke fully away and joined the flames. Water from pitchers formed globes and joined the other elements. Finally the wind broke through the windows. Causing glass to fly everywhere and to some that lived on the coast it was like the storms that come from the ocean. Then something scared them all to high hell. Lightning bolts where coming through the windows and striking him. Yet the power from the bolts seemed contained and everyone watched as Harry looked at the headmaster and seemed ready to strike at him but it seemed not to come. Harry it seemed was calming down and slowly returned to the ground every element seemed to go back to where it belonged as if nothing happened. Even the broken windows returned and was whole. It was as if he never showed his power. Yet every student who did not like him all had one thought not realizing they all had the same one."What the hell is he? I'm fucked if I mess with him or his friends. He will destroy anyone who does them wrong."

Harry turned away from the man and soon just sat down, he acted as if nothing had just happened. The friends and the others all sat down and just started to eat as if nothing ever happened. Even most of the staff joined them in enjoying their food. The only one who checked up on the headmaster was Pomfrey. Yet it seemed like she did not like the idea either considering the scowl on her face. Once she was done healing him she woke him up and simple walked away to finish her supper. Considering most healers give some potions after waking up someone up from that type of fight. The man himself was trying to get up due to his age and the basic healing he was a bit weak of course. Having a battle like that was draining on someone his age. Actually hell even his brief battles with his out of control creation was easier than compared to Harry. It felt it was as if he fought a god one who only let him live because he wasn't worth killing. One who could of ended him with simple snap of his finger. He now knew he had to end Harry Potter before he lost control again.(Not even realizing even after all this he already did. He is insane for a reason.) He finally got to his feet and noticed everyone was now eating and trying their hardest to not look at him. It seemed though as if half of the Slytherin and a few Gryffindors were pale and shaking in fear. All the while looking at Harry as if he was a grim reaper or something outer worldly. He scanned a few people and saw the end result of their fight. He saw what Harry did after and realized that him, Riddle and Grindelwald would all lose even if fighting together.

Harry simply ate his food talked with those around him and forgot all the weird looks he got from some around him. He focused on his friends and some who answered questions. He didn't answer certain ones of course. Yet there was one that kept getting asked."Why does your hammer have the Gryffindor crest when you're a Ravenclaw and a Potter?" Harry would simply shrug before saying."Maybe because the Potters came from one of his daughters after the other disappeared. Who really knows. Lady magic saw me right to be the heir and so that's that."Everyone could see he was not being completely open about it. So most left him alone, yet there was always few who kept the really only had to eiter flair a tiny bit of magic or for others tapping his fingers on the head of the hammer. Which most of the time sent everyone away from him since seeing him win the battle of the minds with Albus it scared a lot of people away if he acted a bit off put.

Harry had plenty of time to talk to both Sirius and a few of the other adult thanks to the mirror Sirius gave him. The alliance of course was spreading which thankfully with Filius and Celeste were spearheading everything and soon were gathering allies from all three factions of the council. There was so much to do but it was slowly getting done. There was some students that were glaring at him for what was going on with their parents. It seems as Lord Black Sirius was doing what his family was famous for using black door dealing and blackmail to get things done. One was actually removing Malfoy from the board of governors for the school. Which was actually easier than it should be almost as if the man did not put up a fight. Sirius just reminded him that unless he doesn't back down the marriage he is in would be cancelled and void. Which would ruin the Malfoy family since it was the money from the Black side of the marriage that kept him a float since after the war.

Harry also had been looking into the finances of his houses. Which with all of them he could more than likely buy the entire magical britain. There so much in every account he and his families for almost 200 years just on the interest from the accounts. He also though was looking into businesses not just in britain but all over the world. There was so much chances for it out there in the non magical world as well he asked the goblins to focus first on Europe. While the Dwarves did so in both north and south america. There was really only the Asian area where he need to get a foot in the door to start gathering allies there. There was so many things that Harry was doing he barely had time for class. It seemed he was almost slipping into something else. He was tempted to really take the world by storm but knew if he did things to fast it would be even more destructive to for him and the magical world. He was though going to slowly find a way to deal with the paper. Sirius had been telling him about a certain reporter that was known for destroying people for her amusement. He had seen her stories at a quick glance. He hated the paper most of it was micromanaged by the Minister and his undersecretary. He will have to fix that so it will be what it should.

The next morning Harry could feel as if something was wrong in the castle. He didn't feel the wards Vanessa and him set up. He frowned and called out for the elf he knew."Oriel please come here for a second." Sure enough the little house elf appeared. She now was wearing the uniform of his elves at the castle. Yet instead of the potter crest it was the Hogwarts one. The uniform was a mix of the french maid and one of a goth punk. Harry shrugged it and noticed the elf was waiting for her orders or his questions."Has the DADA professor done anything or gone to the third floor?" He noticed the elf shook for second before nodding and explaining."Yes Master Harry. He went to the floor only about ten minutes or so ago. He shifted into a wraith so the wards he encountered at the door were useless and were destroyed when he passed them. If you and Mistress Prince hurry you can meet up with him." Harry nodded and sent a messenger Patronus to all the friends giving them all a heads up about what happened. He soon was heading out and he saw Vanessa waiting for him at the common room. She smiled and held her hand out and he took it and they soon took off to the 3rd floor.

They were quiet as they headed to the corridor. Harry was feeling a spark of life behind the door. Yet there was three brains behind it. He knew of course it was the Cerberus known as Fluffy. There was so much wrong with this picture. These XXXXX creatures and they need to be outside or in big area's for them. He looked to the dog and destroyed the music box that was keeping it asleep. Vanessa was surprised but that was till she felt the waves of magic that were slowly rolling off him. It seemed that it was calming the beast and sure enough a bunch of red chains broke from the beast. It was as if the creature was forced to be the way it was now today. Vanessa then was treated to something that almost classified as to funny. It was the most funniest thing she had ever seen. Harry was soon being licked by all three heads and their big tongues. Which soon made him super wet and covered in slopper. Yet something different was happening at the same time. The giant three headed dog was shrinking in size to where it was only about a size of a baby one it was about six feet. Harry started to do a growling type of talking to Fluffy and the dog suddenly ran out the still open door and was going to where it seemed to live before. Harry and Vanessa soon jumped down through the trap door. Harry did go first and caught her in his arms as he landed on the strangling plant. She blushed as he held her close in his arms.

Vanessa again watched as he let his magic roll away and the plant under them soon was burning to a crisp as it was dry as tinder. Yet the minuscule flames that were glowing blue never seemed to be of heat but of coldness to her. It was like he was the only heat in the room. The plants gave away before dropping them down yet once again, down into a corridor that was not very well lit. Which lead them down a hallway, as they walked down the dark and seeming endless hallway. Yet as they walked down the hallway and were hearing a fluttering of wings here and there. As they kept walking the sound was getting louder. Soon was sounding like bees this raised their eyebrows since these sounded massive. Yet soon as they cleared the hallway and entered the room bigger than they thought. They were now confused as to why the room seemed empty and yet the noise was so loud and all they could see was a training broom. It was hovering right in the middle of the room. Vanessa looked to Harry. She was a normal flyer yet he was was something no one has ever seen. She has watched as he did drills during the break and he had his elves shooting arrows and yet he never got hit. It was like he ha a sense to avoid anything dangerous or harmful to him unless it was to protect his friends. Then he will either destroy who ever did the deed.

Harry could see the look she gave him and nodded before pulling out his new broom. Soon as the broom was out it seemed the keyes speed up Harry could tell it was not enough. He noticed a different door on the other side of the room. he motioned for her to wait by it and mounted his broom. He noticed they were flying like a group of sardines in the ocean. Harry was the Merlin hunting he looked for a key that matched the rusty looking lock on the door. He knew it was a old one and most of the keys look newer as if only created or were just cleaned. He finally noticed one was a little gimped and knew that this was the key and that Quirrell had been a bit rough with it. He smirked and soon was shooting off like a rocket he noticed the room was made like a seekers best friend. It was the perfect way to train if he wasn't one of the best Hogwarts has ever seen. He only had to chase the key for about 25 seconds before a perfect catch. Yet this is where it banana's. The other keys turned on him, so he stepped up the speed and moves and he did a hastily pass off to Vanessa. Which she did not waste any time and used the key to open the door. She held it open for him as he finally got away from the other keys and shot through the door and she slammed it shut and locked it up quick. Which was a good thing as the door was slammed into by every single key in the room. Some sounded as if they actually stayed stuck in the door, while a few clattered to the ground.

She waited for Harry to get off the broom before they continued. They and were not surprised by the huge chess set. Yet they were surprised when every piece bowed to them and simply let them through to the next door. Not really wanting to look a gifted horse in the mouth they continued on their way. They both had their wands out and were ready when they had a raspy breathing. When they opened the next door they were shocked when there was a giant in the room and was injured badly. Harry and Vanessa came close the giant eyed them wearly. His hand was on a very crude war hammer. Well it looked more like a tree trunk. Harry looked the giant in the eye. Then started speaking in Jotun as if speaking it all his life."Humble giant we are not going to hurt you in any shape or form. In fact how about I transport you out of the castle and back to your home. Vanessa here in fact might be able to heal you. I could to yet it might be to counter productive as I have too much power to be a true healer."

The giant seemed to look at Harry surprised he could speak his language and thought his options he knew he was slowly dying and if left here he would. Plus if he kept the scars he could rise in his clan for surviving such wounds even if caused by a wizard. He nodded and asked only one question."If she heals me let me keep the scars. It will raise me in the eyes of the clan. I will also speak of your kindness and the hill giants of Britain will stand by you. Just make sure you kill the demon who did this to me." Harry agreed and turned to Vanessa, who he simple told her what he wanted and she had a scowl since a healer tries not to cause scars or let them stay. She had a mini battle with herself and finally agreed with her patient. The healing did take a while because he was a giant after all and was almost 10 times her size. Harry had to help her by giving her magic. Which while doing it made her feel as if she was floating. Soon the injuries were dealt with and Harry found the area where his tribe was and set the portkey off a bit so the giant wouldn't appear in the village or anything and sent him on his way. With a slight warning about that the dark lord is not as dead as everyone thinks and such a man caused his wounds. So when he tells his story to the tribe he can be the giant who survived the dark lord. The giant was stunned but nodded and again told him what he would support Harry whenever the drums of war sounded.

The two soon left the room and climbed down a spiral staircase and could hear the DADA professor arguing with what they assumed was Voldemort on the back of his head. Which caused Vanessa to pause she may be a 7th year student, but she was not one for dueling or such violent actions. She was a healer and a potions studier hoping to be a healer later. Harry was a true battler through and through. He had the knowledge of the founders and Morgana behind him. He was ready to do this so she waited back just enough to be hidden but close enough to be there just incase something goes wrong. Harry came forward and noticed the man was staring into the mirror confused as to how to get the stone out. It seemed he sensed Harry and turned to him. Now looking at Harry with a smirk on his face, as if this is was exactly what he wanted to happen.

"Ah mister Potter, The-Boy-Who-Lived. It was about time that you joined me here. You have been a big thorn in my side this year. First the trolls, then you can't even fall off a broom, mind you someone lighting my cloak on fire saved you from dying that day. Then you are a werewolf, but not just any but a dire werewolf. Now I am curious as to how that came to be. They haven't been seen in Britain in 200 years. How have you managed to live so far this year." He winced in pain as a raspy voice rang out, which cause Vanessa to shiver in the staircase."Quirrell focus on the task you need the stone he will get it for you." Quirrell stammered as he turned back to the mirror."He is a child he won't desire the stone my lord."The rasp voice rang out again." He will he desires to stop us so the stone will come to him." Harry almost chuckled as he spoke to the back of his head."Oh how the mighty has fallen. The great Voldemort nothing more but a Parasite sucking the life and magic out of people. You have become so pathetic. Then again a baby destroyed you the last time around so maybe this is a step up from that after all."

This seemed to make both Voldemort and Quirrell both angry. Quirrell turned to Harry and seemed to have a curse building on his tongue before Voldemort spoke again."Let me see him, I am strong enough this is between me and him. So give me control like a good vessel."Quirrell shuddered and unwrapped the turban and in the Mirror was a face now exposed and glaring at the boy in the mirror. Then the body of Quirrell shuddered again as Voldemort took over his body. He was moving like a duelist, throwing spells and curses at Harry. All of them were dark and very destructive to say the least. Most of them of course were missing but destroying some stone. There was one spell that even hit near the spot Vanessa was hiding behind. This of course almost her scream but she pressed her hands to her mouth to keep herself quiet. Thankfully Harry was ready and brought out Dreadnought. This made the possessed man pause at the sight of the staff. No one has used a staff in a while well Alastor Moody did but he was always a crazy bastard. He noticed Harry was a bit different as well bone and scales covered his body in a partial transformation. This caused him to raise a eyebrow at the transformation. He soon focused back at throwing spells at the teen who seemed to be dodging everything with ease.

Harry was glaring and ready to fight. Yet it seemed that the Quirrell possessed by Voldemort jumped at him as if to strangle him. It seemed that he had enough of trying to hit him with spells. Harry sighed as he noticed this new behavior which was really not unsurprising at all. He remembered the talk he had with Morgana about the ritual his mother did. As long as his blood was not flowing in Voldemort's body he could not touch him in any shape or form. So Harry waited milliseconds before contact and did something no one expected he headbunted the man. Which where the contact happen caused flashes of pain to both of them. Quirrell screamed and tried to wrap his hands around his neck. This caused Quirrell to scream and back away he watched as his hands turned to ash and flowed away from his body on a random and strange wind. Harry now took the chance and let the Vambraces fall to the ground and grabbed the man's head both the front and back. Then sent a blast of magic from hands. This caused the man to smash into the mirror and it shattered never to be used in anything ever again. The possessed Professor tried to stand up and walk towards Harry but soon was crumbling to ash. He got to about 3 feet from Harry when he fell apart completely. Harry was nervous he backed up a bit and watched as a shade of Voldemort floated up. The shade was screaming Harry shook his head and sent a blast of fiendfyre at the shade. Which did destroy it as if was only smoke. Harry did not notice a small bit of the shade slipped away and fled through a crack in the wall.

Harry turned to the staircase and Vanessa was watching it seemed with panic and yet there was a bit of either love or lust in her eyes. Harry hugged the girl and she brought his slightly taller frame down and smashed her lips to his. Showing her worry and relief that he was okay. They soon heard a cough from behind them, making them realize they were now being watched. There standing there was the meddler. It seemed news reached him and he came back to the castle. He had a look of confusion and a bit of hate on his face. The meddler soon asked them."How did you two get into here? This was a area not allowed to the students. Yet you are here and in a area of destruction. Why is the mirror of Erised broken and the traces of Dark magic around the room? Also what is the pile of dust there, you both will have to come with me?"

Harry looked at him and smiled at the meddler before explaining."Well sir, you are actually within the limit of the 100 feet so either back up. We also want our head of house and the deputy headmistress here for this. You know what we will all meet in your hospital wing. We just saved this school and maybe the magical Britain from a mad man. We also destroyed the mirror at sucks in someones magic because it is a dark artifact. YOU endangered everyone here in the school. There is over 40 people that know we went here. We did your job your are failing the school as a headmaster. Now leave and maybe I won't be bring this up with the board and DMLE." Harry settled in a glare with his hammer and staff in his hand. There was a bubble of fire, it seemed and the edges cutting into the earth and stone. The air was stifling and was making the old man even take some steps back. Soon as he was over the hundred foot line the pressure stopped. Harry wrapped a arm around her as a raven and griffin Patronus left with messages to the two to meet them at the hospital wing. There was a flash of blue fire cold as death and of a blizzard and suddenly Albus was all alone in a area in the belly if the castle. He was shocked seeing Harry do this yet again in a place where only the in charge should be able to do so and yet he lost his power to do so. Albus knew he had to get to where the boy was which was the hospital. He growled as he stomped to the medial wing, which he knew the two teachers and the two Ravenclaws would meet him there.
