The Lord and Lady Phoenix: The Chamber Chapter 1: The Wrath of Albus Dumbledore, a harry potter fanfic

Hello everyone out there in the world of Fanfiction! Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and girls of all ages! Welcome! Welcome one and all to the second installment of the Lord and Lady Phoenix series! In the previous act, we followed the great adventures of Harry Potter as he journeyed through the first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was there that he met his true friends as well as his many foes.

Through many trials (and the stupidity of idiots), Harry had been able to prevent a corrupted Professor Quirrel from making off with the legendary Sorcerer's Stone, which held the power to transfigure gold and produce the elixir of life. In turn young Harry had foiled the plots of many. Dumbledore, Voldemort, he was just pissing off everyone. In fact, he had figured out the simple puzzles that protected the stone months before his headmaster had planned. Young Harry had hidden the stone from Dumbledore himself long before the time had come for the second meeting between him and the dark lord. He, his friends, and allies had banded together to rid the school of Hogwarts of the spirit of Voldemort. But the dark wizard had gotten his revenge, for Harry had fallen as well.

Previously on The Lord and Lady Phoenix: The Stone…

"Harry Potter. We meet...again." The voice spoke. Harry could feel the two red eyes stabbing him with a glare.

"Voldemort."

"Yes. Do you see what I have become? Do you see what I must do to survive? Live off another as a mere parasite. The unicorn blood has sustained me. But it cannot give me a body of my own. But there is something that can. I know that you can find the stone. I know that it is hidden right inside this very mirror. Give the stone to me…and you will be rewarded handsomely."

"Never!" Harry shouted.

The Dark Lord laughed. "Hah! Courage. Your parents had it too. Tell me Harry…would you like to see your mother and father again? Together…we can bring them back. There is no good and evil. Only power and those too weak to seek it."

"You liar!" Harry yelled.

"KILL HIM!" the Lord screamed.

All at once, spells shot everywhere. A few cutting hexes freed Ginny, Draco, Neville, and Hermione.

Another pushed Harry away from Quirrel's grasp. Two seconds later, Master and servant were surrounded.

"I see." The face of Voldemort seared itself into Harry's brain. Ginny's subconscious was forced out of his mind. There was only darkness.

'Harry,' the voice said. 'Remember, You are always welcome to join us and have your revenge against the world.'

"Give up now. You're completely surrounded." McGonagall shouted.

Voldemort stared at his situation. He was still and silent.

Then, Quirrel's body went rigid. It started shaking violently. The once stuttering professor began screaming.

"WHY MASTER? WHY?" His body lit up and a strange force appeared to come out of him. Something seemed to be ripped from his very body. He flailed around as

The body fell to the floor with a thud, unmoving.

Harry sighed. It was over…for now. Voldemort was still alive. A shadow, a mere vapor. So close and yet he could not die. He would not die.

Then, something closed in on his scar. It felt life someone had brought a sword down upon it, splitting his head clean open. No one could have ever experienced this amount of pain. Nothing could compare to this.

It was pure torture. He felt like his head was about to explode. The room started to spin. Faster and faster it twirled.

He fell.

The last thing he saw was the face of a crying Ginny.

"HARRY!"

The world went dark.

The Lord and Lady Phoenix: The Chamber

Chapter One

The Rage of Albus Dumbledore

TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC

The world went black.

"Harry!" Ginny yelled. Her best friend fell to the floor. His face was already becoming far paler than the ghosts that roamed around the school. His emerald eyes were shut tight within his head. How she missed gazing into them already.

"He seems to have fainted." McGonagall said.

"No. Something's wrong." Ginny said.

"What do you mean Ginny?" Professor Flitwick asked.

"I don't know. But I-"

Her eyes rolled into the back of her skull.

"Ginny too?" Hermione cried. Neville and Draco were already checking their pulses.

"The pulses are normal." Neville said with a bit of worry in his voice as he let go of Harry's wrist.

"We need to get them to the hospital wing." Draco said sternly. "Now."

"Dumbledore will be down here soon. We will leave, but Harry needs to remain here. That is what Albus expects." Snape said.

"But-"

"I don't like it any more than you do Granger. But it will be much easier on Harry and the rest of us if Dumbledore does not ask questions."

"Fine. But we're going straight to the hospital wing!" Hermione declared. Snape nodded.

"But wait, how are we going to get out quick enough? We can't Apparate in Hogwarts Grounds." Draco asked.

"There's more than one way of transportation Draco." Flitwick informed him. The Malfoy heir nodded and took Snape's outstretched hand. Hermione took McGonagall's and Neville clasped hands with Flitwick. Ginny's fallen hand was tightly held on by Hermione.

A quick pop and the fallen form of Harry was all that remained in the chamber.

Only minutes later, the silvery beard off one Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore appeared in the archway. The rest of him followed suit.

He examined the scene quickly. Yes, it was exactly as he had planned.

Harry was unconscious on the floor from exhaustion. There was no sign of the dark lord. The mirror still held the stone.

He walked over to the mirror first. An aged hand ran across the smooth glass. He shivered slightly at the cool touch.

"Good. Good. Now then, I just need to collect the stone."

He held up a withered hand. He placed in through the glass, ready for the rock to fit perfectly in his hands.

There was nothing.

He removed his hand, then tried again.

Still nothing was collected.

Then he thought back and gave a loud gasp. He had enchanted the mirror so that a man who wanted to

find the stone, but not use it, would be able to claim it. He needed the stone, so the mirror would not

submit. And he had used over a million spells to secure the bloody rock into place. It would take months

to remove them. Plus they needed to be removed in the exact reverse order that he had placed them.

If even one was out of order, he would be on the receiving end of a painful curse and only after that would he be able to start all over again.

He trotted around the room and back and then held onto a look of chagrin.

Why did he have to have such a bloody brilliant mind?

TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC

Ginny opened her eyes groggily. There was no sound entering her ears. No sight came to her brown eyes. She floated in an endless void of nothingness. She was merely there. Just barely existing. And yet, at the same time, she felt that she had fallen to Death's welcoming arms.

As if by merely breathing, something was alerted to her presence. She could sense a mass of darkness right in front of her.

It was miniscule.

Fractured.

Severed.

And yet, so much resided in this little speck. So much power, so unbalanced. It called out to her.

Her left arm raised. The palm beckoning to touch the darkness. She tried to lower it but her appendage seemed to have a mind of its own.

Or someone was controlling it.

Her arm dragged her closer and closer to the void. Her right leg followed suit. Half of her body had been taken over.

The last two limbs joined in. She had lost all control over her body.

Ten feet.

The ball crackled with black lightning.

Five feet.

It was a black whole of evil. It would consume her entirely.

Three.

She screamed in silence. Her mouth would not move. It too had been hypnotized.

Two.

There was no escape.

One.

Harry.

A bright light shot from behind her. The dark energy crackled in pain. It vaporized but Ginny knew that it was not gone. Only wounded.

Before anything else could happen, the light embraced her.

"Ginny!" A voice rang into her ear.

"Ugh…not so loud Hermione." The young red haired witch moaned.

"Oh! I'm sorry."

Ginny slowly opened her eyes. She groggily took a look at her surroundings. They were not in the hospital wing like she had guessed. They were all in the Gryffindor Common Room.

"It's okay. What happened?" Her memory was clouded.

"We arrived here with the teachers. Madame Pomfrey gave us a few potions and we all fell asleep." Neville explained.

"You refused to take it until you saw Harry." Draco said, a smirk playing at the corner of his lip. "We all had to hold you while the potion entered your body."

Then she remembered. "Harry!" She shouted. "What happened to him? Is he going to be alright?"

"He'll be fine Ginny." Hermione soothed her friend. But the young witch wouldn't have any of it. She rushed out of the room, leaving the portrait of the fat lady hanging wide open.

"Oh don't mind me!" The woman in pink shouted. "Just hanging around!"

Ginny didn't care. She had to see him with her own eyes. She needed to make sure. She had to know that Harry was safe.

She ran through the length of the entire castle. Running up the stairs and down the stairs. Past suits of armor and talking portraits. Down five more sets of bloody stairs. Why couldn't there be an elevator?

After a grueling ten minutes of transferring, moving, stone steps, Ginny found herself outside the hospital wing.

She cast the usual charms and silently creaked the door open and carefully trotted inside.

A statue laid upon the bed. It was layered in grime. His emerald eyes were closed.

The dam holding back her tears broke.

TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC TLLP: TC

Ginny awakened and saw the silvery crescent illuminating the darkness that was the sky.

Her gaze turned back to Harry. He was still unconscious. His skin was extremely pale. The ghosts of Hogwarts had more color than he did.

Footsteps. She jumped while frantically searching for her wand. She cast the usual protection spells a second before the door slid open.

Albus Dumbledore strode into the hall, his eyes never leaving Harry. He pulled out from his pocket a long, thin wand, pointed it at Harry, and muttered, a spell Ginny could not make out.

Harry's eyes seemed to be forced open.

"Professor Dumbledore! The Stone! Volde-"

"Relax Harry. Everything is fine."

Ginny listened as Professor Dumbledore explained how the stone had been destroyed. She scoffed. They had taken the stone right out of Dumbledore's grasp. They had solved his "unbeatable" puzzle and had given the rock back to the Flammels months ago.

The headmaster explained how the six hundred and sixty five year old alchemist, Mr. Flammel, would

have enough time to set his affairs and then die. He then began a long, dull speech about what a grand

adventure dying really was. And how it was only the next phase of life.

Harry asked about Voldemort next. Ginny noted how Dumbledore specifically avoided certain questions asked regarding Harry's and the dark lord's mysterious past.

Dumbledore then tried a Bertie Box Every Flavor Bean. She grinned when she heard the sounds of chokes echoing through the wall.

"Alas." She heard him gasp in a raspy voice. "Earwax."

He said goodbye to Harry and walked out of the wing. Ginny sat in complete silence until the echoed sounds faded from the wing as well as the hall outside.

She cast a few spells to jam the spells Dumbledore had just placed.

Only when all of the was finished, did she call out to him.

"Harry."

An aged man with a long beard stood from his within his lair. He was roaring with untold rage.

"I need it."

Silence was his answer.

"You will give it to me. I am your master and you shall do as I command!"

More silence.

His leathery skin filled with pure red anger.

"I command you! Hand over that Stone!" He snarled.

The mirror did nothing. It did not speak, nor did it move. It stood soundless, without a single movement.

He was blinded. His wrath could not be controlled. It broke loose.

He snatched his wand from its fancy holster. The tip lashed out towards the looking glass. A flash of supreme power thundered from the wood.

The Mirror was disintegrated.
