Albus Dumbledore sat behind his desk, his pensive lay on his lap as he contemplated the memories swirling within its depths. An image of Harry Potter kissing Daphne Greengrass played in a loop.

`The folly of an old man. It seems Harry has strayed beyond the path of the light, and I fear we'll lose the war if he descends into the darkness. Something needs to be done.'

"Severus, what do you think?"

"Potter's like his father, arrogant, foolish and a crowd pleaser. The use of fiendfyre on the dragons bordered egotistical which attests he's more of Potter's spawn then Lily's. He needs to be reigned Albus, and Daphne Greengrass is someone who is incapable of such a task."

"Yes." Dumbledore clasped his hands together. "Harry must not be allowed to forge links with the grey fraction. His political clout of being Lord Potter and Heir Black could tilt the wizengamot balance, and Lord Greengrass has always looked for ways to discredit me from my many positions."

"What do you suggest we do?"

"My dear Severus, we do what we always do. What we must, to ensure the survival of Mr Potter and the light side."

Madara sat on the stiff hospital bed, his Sharingan activated in the dimly lit Hospital wing as he surveyed his surroundings. Daphne had just left before curfew was implemented. Which allowed him to read the parchment she'd placed into his robe pocket.

Opening the letter, he read its contents.

Harry,

This parchment is one of many things I can do as a token of thanks for saving my life, no hard feelings for banishing me, I'd rather relearn how to use my legs then be six feet under. I am in your debt.

Please accept this gift on behalf of me and the other handlers you indivertibly saved. They were both rampaging and probably would have killed more of us had you not stopped them both like you did, and if they had gotten into the stands, we'd have had a serious international incident that probably would have ended with us having to shut down the dragon preserve in Romania. At the bottom of the parchment, you should find armour made from the hide of Vhaga, the Hungarian horntail you slayed.

There was more than enough hide to go around, so I also crafted you a small dagger to go with your new armour. Use it well.

Harry, I need to tell you this though. Something doesn't seem right with what happened that day. We can't find a reason why Vhaga was so temperamental, the chains used to restrict the dragons were constantly bombarded with strengthening charms, someone unleashed the dragons on you, maybe to do you in. Just watch your back Harry.

Charlie Weasley.

Finishing the letter, Madara's eyes were drawn towards the faint scribbles engraved onto the yellow parchment. Placing the tip of his wand onto the runes, he mentally intoned `finite` and watched as a box was released onto his lap.

Unboxing the confinements within, he saw a vision of beauty. Crimson armour with numerous plates. From what his eyes could see, the plates would protect his chest, waist, shoulders and thighs. He let out a laugh, the irony not lost on him. The armour he was gifted with, was exactly like the one he had in the elemental nations.

Madara leaned on the statue of Salazar Slytherin. Crumbled in his hands was the Daily Prophet.

HARRY POTTER UNCHECKED AND DANGEROUS!

By Rita Skeeter

The unusual circumstances of the selection of the youngest Tri-Wizard champion Harry Potter had many people's tongues wagging. Some believing that he hadn't placed his name into the chalice, and others denoting him as a liar. By now, the tragic events of the first task are well documented: Mr. Potter is reported to have slain an adult dragon, and irreversibly crippled another but in the process suffered grievous magical injury.

How did Potter kill the dragon? By using dark elemental damage.

The cost of using dark magic? A stint for three days recuperating in the hospital wing. Let this be a warning to you kids. Don't do dark magic!

Harry Potter is the only known survivor of the Killing Curse, the darkest magic known. He is a known parselmouth and has a history of involvement with dark magic. He was reputed to be the Heir of Slytherin and was implicated in the infamous Hogwarts "Chamber of Secrets" incident two years ago, while it is not known, what transpired, Mr. Potter received an award for "Special Services to the School," conferred by none other than his mentor, Albus Dumbledore, who was reinstated shortly thereafter to the post of Headmaster. We would like to know what these "services" entailed and if any involved use of dark magic or rites.

Lucius Malfoy, former member of the Board of Governors at Hogwarts, says, "It is unfortunate that the Chamber of Secrets affair has been closed, as there were several noteworthy irregularities surrounding those unhappy times."

Ronald Weasley, close friend to Harry Potter and brother to the injured handler, was unsurprised at the turn of events. He adds, "Harry Potter is a selfish individual. " When asked whether he knew if Mr. Potter had participated in any dark magic rituals, he had this to say: "I don't know what he's done, but it's not natural. I wouldn't be surprised if he had undergone dark rituals."

We remind the readers that You-Know-Who is believed to have participated in dark rituals himself to increase his magical power and reserves.

While we join our readers in wishing Mr. Potter a rapid recovery, we must ask ourselves whether we are trading one powerful Dark Lord for another. Would we not be safer if Mr. Potter, who has the capacity if not the inclination to take You-Know-Who's place, were to remain incapacitated.

Madara further scrunched the newspaper.

"Something bothering you boy?" Said Quintus the augur of house Slytherin.

"You again?" Madara sighed. "No matter where I go, there's sheep everywhere. Always eager to believe the worst in me."

"That's what human beings are good for. Having magic doesn't make them exceptions to their nature."

"I could be so much more. So much more!"

"And yet here you are. For someone who possesses the eyes of perception, you sure are blind."

"I see a lot with my eyes, things others can't even begin to comprehend."

"Seeing isn't looking boy. As I said before, she is returning. And you need to be ready, for there's something you should know.

with Darkness Runes, you will scry,

be careful not to catch her eye,

if she sees you won't escape,

descend to Shadow and meet your fate."
