After a while, Harry asked, "So I take it that the terms are acceptable."

The Conclave looked at each other and nodded.

"Excellent! Now where do I sign? I need to get back to Hogwarts before Lord Voldemort tries anything funny."

----------------------------

A week later...

----------------------------

As the school settled down for dinner after one tiring school day, easy chatters began to flow amongst the students. At the Head table, Dumbledore was talking to Professor McGonagall. Despite the smooth flow of words within the Hall, there was an underlying amount of tension within the students. The fear of the Dark Lord reaches far and wide. The murder of O'Connor and the Auror Massacre had sent a clear message to all. Dark times are coming. Harry looked around; knowing some of the students will follow their parents' footsteps and join Riddle. Suddenly, the doors burst wide open. Harry, sitting close to the door, stood up, drawing his both sword and wand, using his right hand and left hand respectively. Out of the corner of his eyes, Harry noticed the teachers had all stood up and drawn their wands, pointing towards the doorway.

A snake of monstrous proportion glided into the Hall. Students immediately leapt out of the way from the serpent, screaming. Reaching the Headmaster, the snake stopped and coiled itself. Raising its head to the level of the Headmaster, the serpent dropped a letter and hissed. Harry moved forward cautiously. He had heard the single word which the snake had hissed. "Die!"

Seeing the Headmaster reached over to open the letter, Harry shouted, "Don't!" And with a flick of his wand, Harry sent the letter soaring into the air. Ignoring the looks sent to him by the teaching staffs of Hogwarts, he muttered an incantation. In middle-air, the paper unwrapped itself. Harry, along with the whole school, watched as some foreign liquid began to fall onto the ground. The ancient rock began to sizzle as the corrosive liquid started to eat into it. The snake turned towards Harry and lunged. The size of the snake didn't seem to slow down the creature as it sped towards Harry, hissing words of hatred all the time.

Harry saw the snake lunged towards him. Blocking the serpent's deadly bite with his sword, Harry, with a wave of his wand, sent the snake flying back. The serpent landed rather heavily on the ground. It rose, albeit slowly, dazed. Shaking its head, the snake tried to regain its bearing. The serpent looked at Harry, baring its teeth. Harry snorted at the serpent's attempt to intimidate him. Raising his hand, Harry silently called for Dark Flare. The phoenix appeared on his arm with a colourful blaze of light. Catching sight of the massive serpent, the phoenix turned and gave it a baneful stare. Then Dark Flare threw itself towards the snake, grabbing the snake, the phoenix and the snake disappeared in a blaze of fire.

All of the sudden, the letter which held in mid-air by Harry's magic suddenly burst into flames. Turning his gaze towards the until now forgotten letter, Harry saw the ashes slowly transformed into the Dark Mark. Immediately screams and pandemonium erupted within the Hall. Immediately, both Harry and Dumbledore began to draw together their powers. The students and teachers were stunned to discover that the amount of power Harry had. The powers Harry had summoned were displayed as aura around him. An aura of various colours in the visible light spectrum.

"Well, well, well," a voice, which Harry had recognized immediately as the voice of Tom Riddle. "Years had passed since I last saw you, Albus Dumbledore. What a pity. You are dead. You had defeated Grindwald, but I had destroyed you! I, Lord Voldemort, had destroyed you!"

"Tom," Dumbledore's voice rose, cutting through Tom Riddle's voice, "Your letter had failed to kill me."

"WHAT?"

"I was saved at the last moment, by a certain student of mine," at this, Dumbledore nodded his head towards Harry. Harry inclined his head as a form of acknowledgement.

"I'm afraid that you would have to find a new pet, Voldemort," Harry spoke. "For a bird had just turned your snake into bird food."

"Who are you?"

"Who am I is not important at the moment. What I'm going to do with you and your minions…that's what I deem important. Now be gone from Hogwarts, your very presence taints even the air around."

"You insolent…"

Dumbledore held up his wand and with a word banished what was the shadow of Lord Voldemort. After the shadow of Voldemort had disappeared, Harry began to draw in his powers. However, the powers had begun to fight to break free as Harry struggled to contain the raw amount of powers. He knew too late that he had somehow summoned the powers of the Element Light and Darkness. Two for the four Transcendental Elements. Formless, timeless, limitless and all-powerful.

The entire student body watched in muted surprise as Harry was suddenly bathed in two colours. Pure white light shimmered and glows on Harry's right side, while pure undiluted pitch black swirled and twisted on Harry's left side. Dumbledore looked at Harry in surprise. It was impossible for a person have such an aura.

Slowly but steady, the two auras began to extend their reaches. The room suddenly became a warfront as each of the elements each of the elements tried to extend their dominance within the Hall. The students and teachers pulled their robes together as the temperature plunged. Ice began to from on every surface within the Great Hall. The touches and fireplace suddenly roared alive as the fire blazed with great vigor. The air swirled, forming miniature whirlwind. Clouds formed as lightning flashed. Soon, rain began to fall, flooding the Hall.

The ancient warded rock of Hogwarts began to move under the influence of Harry's Earth Elemental powers. The ground began to crack and buckled as earth spikes suddenly appeared. Then the wood came alive. Despite of the layer of ice on the benches and table, the wood began extended roots into the ground and branches grew, entangling the many of the students who watched the scene transfixed. The strain was taking a toll on Harry as he tried to rein in his wayward powers. But like children, the more you want to control, the more rebellious they become. Instead of pulling back part of his power, more escaped his control.

Harry was totally unaware of the chaos around him. All he now knew was the chaos that within him. All his powers had begun warring within him. The unexpected struggle of the Element Light and Element Darkness had caused all the elements to erupt. Harry knew that he had to pull all the elements into control before it unleashes all their collective powers in nova. He knew that there are students and staff within the Hall.

"Get. Out. Now," Harry hissed under the strain. Despite his low voice, Harry's voice managed to carry to every ear in the Great Hall. "I can't hold on any longer…"

There was a pregnant pause before everyone started scrambling for the door or rather, doors. But it was too late. Harry's elemental powers had already spread out to every where within the Great Hall. The massive oak door at the entrance as well as the smaller ones at the side of the Great Hall had been sealed together seamlessly. Some of the more combat experienced students immediately drew out their wands and as one fired the Reductor curse. The curse hit the door but unlike tree, Harry's elemental powers were sentinel. In the face of an attack, they reacted swiftly and violently. Spikes of woods thrust out from the oak doors, seeking the source of its attackers. Some of them broke under the stress while the remaining ones countered with Cutting Hex.

Force them not, young Lord. Be one with them.

The ancient voice sounded calm and clear amidst the chaos that now enveloped the entire Great Hall. Slowly, Harry remembered the lesson he had regarding the elements.

"Harry, the powers of Elements are not to be taken lightly. Unlike the magic which is wild and without sentient, elements are focused and sentient. They bow to no one, acknowledge no master. They only ally themselves to those they see fit. Never disrespect them. The so called Gods of Elements are actually physical and sentient manifestation of their power at their prime. Remember what I said should your elemental powers go on rampage."

Instead of trying to force his control over his wayward powers, Harry began to open his mind to his powers. He began to divert the flow of his powers from the surrounding to his mind. Slowly but steady, the pandemonium began to show signs of subsiding. The various offensive attack then elements had launched disappeared. What was left was the environmental influence they left behind. They aren't permanent but they will need some time to revert back to their original state.

With a breath of relief, Harry collapsed amid the chaotic Great Hall.

---------------

"This will not be tolerated, Dumbledore! This boy had deliberately caused severe bodily and mentally harm to the students of this school! I, personally as a parent, cannot condone the fact that you allow such a violent student to even enroll to Hogwarts!" a familiar voice shouted. Dumbledore's low calm voice washed over Harry as the elderly Headmaster tried to soothe the ruffled feathers of the irate parent.

Beadily, Harry opened his eyes. Shaking his head to clear away the cobweb which had gathered in his mind, Harry looked around. He noticed that there was lot of bed filled with students. He swallowed the bile which had come up his throat.

"Gods…"

"Hush, my love," Harry turned around so fast that his neck hurted. He found himself staring into the eyes of his girlfriend.

"What are you doing here?" Harry asked in a choked voice as he glazed into the sky-blue eyes. 'I could really lose myself in there.'

Then he shook his head to wake himself up.

'This really isn't the time to daydream, Potter,' he thought sternly.

"What are you doing here? I thought I told you to stay back at our time?" Harry hissed.

As Harry struggled to get up, Janet just pushed him back down. She looked at Harry with a wicked smirked on her face as she leaned forward.

"You are in no condition to make any threat, my dear," Janet whispered seductively beside Harry's ear. Harry shivered at the close contact and intimate flick of her tongue by his ear. "You are as weak as a new-born baby, while I'm as fit as a fiddle. So don't try to threaten me, my dear. Just let me handle this situation."

With that, she straightened up and turned away from Harry. Harry smiled ruefully as his girlfriend walked towards the Hospital Wing door. Many people hadn't known that she has a will of steel underneath those layers of silk and velvet. They just looked the surface and ignored what is beneath. Now the steel is coming and Harry almost pity the person at the receiving end of her barded tongue. Almost. Harry closed his eyes and relaxed. He had hidden a secret from her. He could have healed himself, but he rather liked having Janet to fuss over him. Then he heard a sound of flesh against flesh.

'A slap…hmm…interesting, I wonder who slapped who?' Harry mused.

"Mudblood bitch," the familiar voice hissed. Harry froze. "How dare you taint my flesh with you filth."

Angered, Harry's magic responded to his subconscious call. A pulse of raw magic erupted from the core of Harry's magic and healed him, replenishing his reserve. With a flick of his hand, Harry dressed himself in combat robes. With a leap, Harry cleared over six bed and landed lightly on the ball of his feet. He opened the door and stepped out, drawing his power, creating a image of a dangerous person. What he saw stunned him.

He expected Janet to be at the mercy of whoever it was since what happened last year. But this time, it was Janet who held what appeared to be the clone of Draco Malfoy by the neck and choking him. Her blue eyes blazed with righteous fury and anger as she glared at the blond.

'No wonder I found that voice familiar,' Harry thought darkly.

He watched as face of the blond turned from red, to white and finally to purple. He felt it is time to step in.

"Enough, Janet. You are killing him," Harry said quietly. He didn't sense Dumbledore anywhere near him. Janet snarled at the elder Malfoy and dropped him.

"You mudblood bitch," Malfoy spat.

Without warning, Janet slammed her foot at Malfoy's balls. The result was stunning. Malfoy's eyes rolled in their socket. Then he collapsed before he found his voice. Then came the ear splitting girl-like shriek which normally follow immediately after a blow to the balls. Both Harry and Janet winced at such a high note.

"Ouch," Harry observed as Malfoy became silent after sometime. "Nice one, Janet. You have destroy the precious family jewel of the fabled Malfoy."

"A pity that I was too late in inflicting that blow," Janet said. "Or I would have prevented him from polluting the England wizarding community's gene pool."

Harry made a face and Janet laughed at his expression.

"May I inquire what had happened here?" came the pleasant voice of Dumbledore.

Harry turned, his lips twitching in an effort not to laugh out loud while Janet stifled her laughter.

"We having a disscusion regarding the gene pool of the wizarding," Harry said with a straight face. "Then Malfoy claimed that the male pureblood is much superior to those of a mudblood and opposite sex. My girlfriend had proven him wrong by blow below the belt."

Dumbledore's lips twitched as he understood the double meaning to the last statement. "And may I enquire the result of the discussion?"

Harry smirked and replied, "Let's just say that Malfoy was unable to take the blow to his family pride and his belief and collapsed, screaming in pain caused to his pride."

As Harry had once observed regarding Janet's attack, Dumbledore echoed out the same sentiment.

"Ouch."

TBC…

A note from your Author:

-----

Well, that certainly killed my mood. Soon after I had sent my chapters to my beta, my computer crashed. What made it worst was that my beta haven't replied my e-mail. And to make it worst, my unit had just entered Alert Red which means that I have to stay in camp for the next 3 weeks! GOD! I will go crazy! Anyway, I know that I had slowed down on my speed of writing. Being in the army had taken away much of my time as I have to go through training after training. Although I get to book out on weekend, I'm so shagged(tired) that I spent most of my time sleeping.

A word of thanks to my reviewers! They really kept me going! AS I don't have much time I will only answer a few questions…sorry.
