A/N: This is my first story, so reviewers please take that into account. My story moves the Harry Potter time line ahead by 14 years, so the 5th year of Hogwarts ends in 2010. The story begins at last chapter of Order of The Phoenix where Harry has already been told of The Prophesy and Hermione is out of the hospital and goes widely au from there. Pairing will be h/hr or Harry/Hermione. Lots of bashing on Dumbles and Snape. If you don't like it then you do not have to read it. I do not own anything except maybe this story. To those authors that see I have used an idea of yours take credit where it is due.
HOGWARTS
JUNE 19, 17:10 UTC
Harry, having just heard The Prophesy, decided that the first person he would share it with would be Hermione.
So when Hermione was healed enough to be let out of the hospital Harry met her and said "Hermione, I need to talk to you in private. Will you please come with me?"
Hermione responded by saying "Sure! I have the perfect place in mind; we should talk in the Room of Requirement."
So the pair made their way up to the 7th floor in friendly silence and proceeded to pace in front of the painting with the dancing trolls while thinking that they wanted a place to talk for just the two of them. When the weathered surface of the wooden door appeared, they opened it to find a room with a relaxing atmosphere and two scarlet, velvety couches covered in gold brocade.
There were several tall, thin stained glass windows high up, near the ceiling, which let in multi-colored light. Little golden dust-motes floated slowly in the light cast from the windows, as if the room wasn't used too often. Strangely enough (for Hogwarts, at least) there wasn't anyone, not even a painting in the room. It was rather Spartan, in fact, aside from the couches, the ancient ornate cherry-wood table, covered with recent copies of the Wizarding World Magazines and an intricate diamond chandelier that floated of its own accord.
When the door closed with a distinct click, a strong silencing and locking ward went up blocking the conversation from being heard. Just to be safe, Hermione double-checked the natural wards. Satisfied, the two sat down on one of the plush couches settling down for what Hermione could tell would be an extensive conversation.
With an apprehensive look in his eyes, Harry began with "You know of The Prophesy, of course, so I wanted to tell you what it says…"
"Wait-I thought The Prophesy was destroyed before it could be heard…wasn't it?"
Harry looked at a worried and hesitant Hermione and responded with "Yes, it was destroyed but someone heard it when it was originally made. Professor Dumbledore heard The Prophesy, when it was originally created by Professor Trelawney…"
"Wait, what?! Trelawney made an actual prophesy?! You have to be kidding!"
When she looked at Harry's face, however, she saw he couldn't be more serious if he tried.
Unsettled, Hermione thought of another question. "Why are you telling me this first instead of Ron?"
"I am telling you because Ron may be my best friend, but unlike him you have always been there for me. Anyways let me finish! The Prophesy was:
'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark him as equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies ...' (Order of the Phoenix)"
Harry looked down and finished his thoughts before adding, "If you do not want to continue being my friend I would completely understand, as I…"
Harry never got to finish that thought before he got an angry slap across the face from a weeping Hermione. Hermione, still sobbing, threw her arms around Harry and gave him a resoundingly wet kiss. Just as she started to calm down enough to enjoy herself, a bright golden glow surrounded them and they fell unconscious. The golden glow expanded outward at an exponential pace that would change many things. As this happened a loud scream came from Harry's scar before a dense greenish-black smoke came out and dissolved into the air, leaving an acrid smell in its wake as it disappeared. When they woke up the Wizarding World and themselves would be almost unrecognizable.
In Dumbles' office, he contemplated how to respond to what Harry did to his office. He was enraged because several of his instruments that monitored things from Harry's health to the many magical bindings he put upon the boy were destroyed beyond repair (and even worse, they were one of a kind items!). Dumbles was worried because with the bindings Harry should have been nowhere near the power levels he displayed during his temper-tantrum. Dumbles stroked his fluffy white beard, contemplating on how to regain control of his weap… err the boy when he decided to 'confirm' the death of Harry's godfather, Sirius, by hiding the real one he had imprisoned in the headquarters.
Dumbles then patted himself on the back for thinking of the brilliant idea of tricking Harry into thinking that his Godfather was dead, by creating a Golem in the image of Sirius that he had so brilliantly made.
His phoenix that he had used numerous dark rituals over the years to bind to him when he started going dark, chirped sadly at how far his companion has fallen from the light.
"Oh shut up you stupid decorative Turkey or I will kill you before you can become immune to the killing curse!" exclaimed Dumbles.
Dumbles was not always a secret dark lord, but over the years as he heard people proclaim him as the next coming of Merlin or as a god he had begun to believe it. Due to this, he now believed he deserved to be treated like 'the god he was.'
Dumbles began to reflect on all of the manipulations he had made due to hearing The Prophesy. Dumbledore started the rather dirty work when he realized that even with all his power he would not be able to beat Voldy. His salvation came when he heard The Prophesy uttered by the rather delusional Trelawney he was interviewing for the post as the divination professor at Hogwarts.
When he interpreted The Prophesy, he realized that there were only two children The Prophesy might have referred to. He had caught Severus Snape eavesdropping on the conversation, and stunned and bound him before he obliviated all the people around him but Snape of The Prophesy. Dumbles took Snape into a private place before he 'convinced' (it involved a lot of compulsion and even the occasional Imperio) him to tell Voldy of the only first half of The Prophesy by promising to have James and Harry die and leave Lily for him to take on the rebound. He still laughed to himself about how stupid Snape was to believe he was going to leave Lily for him, as even with James and Harry dead there was no way Lily would even come close to the grease stain.
He further found it hilarious how he tricked Snape into signing a magically binding contract where Dumbles appeared to be the loser (as if that was even possible!) where as it was Snape signing his life away. Therefore, he sent the Potters and the Longbottoms into hiding and 'convinced' Sirius Black with an imperious curse to set up Peter Pettigrew as the secret keeper.
Dumbles then set up the fidelus charm around the Potter Summer house while he laughed to himself how he was going to screw both families over. He knew that Peter Pettigrew was in Voldy's camp and would betray them. After his instrument tied to the wards of the Potter summer cottage went off, he waited until he got the reading of three killing curses being cast on the property then portkeyed right to Harry.
Dumbles found as he expected the dead bodies of James and Lily Potter, but what was unexpected was that Harry had survived the killing curse. Dumbles figured Harry must have survived the killing curse because of his heritage along with something that Lily Potter had done.
Dumbles noticed that even with the killing curse there was not a mark on the sleeping Harry
Potter. Therefore, he tried putting a binding on Harry, but found it would not stick to Harry. He also noticed that Voldy's body had disintegrated beyond repair, which made him realize that Voldy had made horcuxes.
There was what looked like foul dark greenish-black mist, which was actually a piece of Lord Voldy's soul, stealthily making its way out of the house. Getting an idea, Dumbles stopped and used his powerful magic to slice off a piece of the fleeing soul before binding it to Harry's forehead. This is what created a lightning bolt shaped scar and how Harry and Voldy were linked together.
He then managed with dark magic to obliviate both of them and banished the rest of Voldy's fleeing soul from the house. After this Dumbles found he could place on bindings and spent some time placing many bindings on Harry's magic and intelligence with many dark and illegal spells. Dumbles found that the horcrux bound up Harry's heritage completely along with helping to suppress his magic and intelligence.
Dumbles also put multiple loyalty and compulsion charms on Harry to make Harry loyal to him and his minions, err, helpers Molly, Won-Won and Ginerva. Dumbles shipped off Harry to his aunt's house before he put multiple compulsion charms on the letter for the Dursleys.
He then set up several dark wards around the property that would make even strong willed muggles severely mistrust magic and want to abuse magical people. Finished with that he went on to obliviate the list of people that were supposed to take care of Harry Potter in the case of the death of Lily and James. Dumbles over the years had to visit several times to put more blocks on Harry as well as obliviate his weapon but felt his plan worked well.
Dumbles had also manipulated the Longbottoms as well for his own good. After Voldy had been defeated, he had sent the message to the Longbottoms that it was safe to come out of hiding. He then had Snape tell the Lestranges that the Longbottoms had come out of hiding and knew where Voldy was. Dumbles the first to arrive at the Longbottoms after the brutal attack and put spells on Alice and Frank Longbottom to keep them in their coma. He further put magical bindings on Neville Longbottom and then obliviated him.
He even manipulated the toddler he stole away from an amazon he had recently seen again in the muggle newspaper. He detected Amazonians and wanted to drain their power into himself so he would be immortal. He kidnapped the toddler and put spells on her to change her appearance and scramble any location spells used to find her. He followed this up by obliviating both sisters so they would forget him. He then gave the unrecognizable toddler to a family called the Grangers to wait until he could find a way to drain the power off the toddler. To prevent the Amazonian from escaping he put blocks that would only work one time on her to prevent any of her god given powers from working. In addition, to make the disguise stronger he forcibly made the Grangers blood adapt the toddler, which oddly he noticed, gave the toddler an extremely strong magical core. Dumbles put magical blocks on the toddler when he realized that without intervention the toddler would be magically stronger than himself after magical maturity.
Bringing his thoughts back to Harry, he as planned had when the time came to introduce Harry to the wizarding World, sent his oaf Hagrid to do the job so Harry would get an inadequate introduction to the Wizarding World and a large bias for Gryffindor. Dumbles arranged for Harry to get the brother wand of Voldy's and steered him away from the Goblins before they could tell Harry about his heritage.
Dumbles set up the Weasleys to help Harry onto the train and cast several more loyalty charms on his weap… err the boy. Every yearly adventure he had arranged in advance or knew what was going to happen and let it for his greater good.
Dumbles was proudest of Harry's first year plan that resulted in the Flamels being dead (or so he thought) and him getting what he did not know was a fake philosopher's stone that he would begin using next year. After all as a god, he needed to live forever to guide the sheep of the Wizarding world for generations to come.
As Dumbles got up to get to the fireplace to get rid of Sirius Black when all of the remaining instruments started screeching and then exploded in his face knocking him into a magical coma he would wish he had stayed in. For when he woke up in the interrogation rooms of the Ministry's Law Enforcement department, he would find many very angry people wanting his blood.
In her office, Professor Minerva McGonagall contemplated about her cubs when the wave of golden magic hit her and erased the multiple obliviations Dumbles had done. Minerva McGonagall remembering it all immediately broke down crying and swore she would make Dumbles suffer if it was the last thing she did.
BONES MANSION
JUNE 19, 17:20 UTC
In Bones mansion, Amelia Bones questioned several things she had learned when the wave of magic hit her erasing the obliviations she had suffered from Dumbles. She now remembered her placement in the list of people to take care of Harry Potter, so she rushed off to Hogwarts.
In the Gryffindor common room, Neville read a book on herbology with Hannah Abbott when he suddenly collapsed and felt like his body was on fire. At the same time, a green ring came through the window and hovered above Neville Longbottom. When he came to, he felt like what he assumed with Dumbles felt like with his magic bubbling beneath his skin just waiting to be unleashed.
He then noticed the green ring hovering above him, and the ring said in a robot like voice "Neville Longbottom you have the ability to overcome great fear, welcome to the Green Lantern Corps"
A skin-tight suit that showed he had lost his formerly chubby physique replaced the clothes he had on. He now had a muscular build appropriate for his age along with a face that attracted the eyes of many witches in Hogwarts. Starting at his hips, the leggings of the costume where black with his feet and ankles covered with what looked like green leather. The front and sides of his torso along with his neck were all green while his back and arms were covered with black. His costume tapered off at the end of his arms with white material covering his hands and wrists.
His head was the only spot uncovered except for a facemask he had on, which covered the area around his eyes and his nose. His eyes were covered in a white substance that was like a one-way mirror only he could see out of. Finally, to complete the ensemble there was a circle outlined by black on the right side of his chest and with a white background inside of it, there was a green lantern icon in the center of the circle.
After she checked to see if Neville was alright, Hannah said, "Neville what was that about? And what are the Green Lantern Corps?"
Neville sat down on the sofa and prepared to tell her what he knew about the Green Lanterns from his outings into the muggle world with his grandmother.
St. MUNGO'S HOSPITAL
JUNE 19, 17:20 UTC
In the incurable wing at St. Mungo's Frank and Alice Longbottom suddenly woke up to the surprise of a visiting Augusta Longbottom. After a tearful reunion with each other and telling Augusta about how even in their daze after the brutal attack by the Lestranges and Crouch Jr., they remembered Dumbles shooting a spell at them before everything went black. After a thirty-minute checkout that was rushed using their status, the three Longbottoms rushed to get up to Hogwarts to meet with Neville and Harry. Along the way, Augusta brought them up to speed on the Wizarding World.
LITTLE WHINGING
JUNE 19, 17:20 UTC
In a home in Surry, a family had had a another great day without 'the freak' when the magic wave wiped out all the magic that was on them. Without the magic affecting them the family remembered how horrible they had been to an innocent orphan and immediately broke down when they remembered how horrible they were.
GAUNT SHACK
JUNE 19, 17:20 UTC
In the Riddle shack, a loud scream was heard before the whole building caught on fire. When the fire fighters finally managed to get to the scene there was nothing left but ashes scattered about.
GRINGOTTS
JUNE 19, 17:20 UTC
In the Lestrange vault, a scream was heard as greenish-black smoke came off the Hufflepuff cup before scattering to the afterlife. Several goblins were called as the cup exploded and set the whole vault on fire. The result would be that after the fire had been put out the whole entire vault was destroyed. In a pocket dimension where the room of hidden things was, a diadem previously owned by Ravenclaw let out an ear-piercing screech before it discharged a putrid dark yellowish-brown cloud that was pulled to the afterlife.
#12 GRIMMAULD PLACE
JUNE 19, 17:20 UTC
At the Order of The Phoenix headquarters in London a man who would by the next day be a free man was woken up to the sound of a loud scream. He rushed down the stairs, and got to the crap hole that Kreacher lived in just in time to see a thick cloud of crusty-blood-red smoke disappear as it went to the afterlife.
When this happened, Kreacher appeared with a pop and proclaimed, "The horcuxes bad man voldy created have been destroyed, master Regulus's goal of eliminating tommy has been fulfilled. Kreacher now die happy."
With that, Kreacher fell to the floor dead, and Sirius contemplated what he had heard. He was horrified to learn that Voldy had created Horcruxes, as he knew what they were because of what his family was like. As the Horcruxes were destroyed, the block Sirius had on his memory was destroyed along with them. He remembered telling Amelia about the secret keeper along with Remus and decided to go to Hogwarts to see Harry. Going to the Kitchen he saw Molly who looked like she had come out of a drugged state. Next to her was Remus Lupin who tried to help a crying Molly while he tried not to cry with what looked like a pained grimace on his pre-maturely aged face.
Sirius talked first when he said, "so do you remember what happened?" "Y-yes I remember how that B #$* Dumbles put me under the imperious and made me do all those things, and now thanks to him my two youngest are probably dead" sobbed a broken-hearted Molly Weasley.
The three of them decided to go to Hogwarts to sort everything out as well as they could.
In the Gryffindor 5th year boy's dormitory Won-Won was in a rage about how Harry always got all the attention and that he deserved some attention and money for what he had to go through. Won-Won thought though that he had a good laugh as much of his magic was from the syphon ward Dumbles put on Harry. Won-won knew that his mother knew about this and approved, but unknown to him he was fed potions to make him lazy and angry with Harry under Dumbles 'orders' by Molly. The Syphon on Harry snapped suddenly and in the magical backlash, Ron's body could not handle the strain. Ron spent the next thirty seconds in terrible, crippling pain, hunched over before he dropped dead never learning he was manipulated by a delusional old man.
In the Girl's dormitory for 4th years in Gryffindor a girl was putting on her clown face while trying to figure out how to get Harry Potter to be her husband when a backlash from syphoning off Hermione's magic killed her instantly.
RIDDLE HOUSE
JUNE 19, 17:20 UTC
In the Riddle mansion, Voldy licked his wounds from the battle at the ministry when he suddenly felt like his soul shard he had left in his monstrosity of a body was being forced to die. He was in so much pain he did not notice his pet snake Nagini die in agony, taking the horcrux in the snake's body with it to the afterlife. Voldy through his dark mark attempted to hold on by draining his followers of their life force and magic.
This was useless as he soon found himself in what appeared to be the 9 ¾ train station. Voldy immediately broke down when he noticed that he could not feel his followers through his dark mark system. He was so busy having a temper tantrum over his perceived unfair fate of dying that he did not notice there were two other people he was familiar with there. He would not notice that several more beings joined the scene until one of them walked up to him and touched his shoulder.
Across the country of Great Britain certain people started to drop dead like flies as their magic and life force was drained from them. People like Snape, Fudge, Umbridge, and the entire Malfoy family died in extreme pain due to the wards they were behind slowing down the drain. The death of all of these bigots would give rise to a new and vastly improved British Wizarding world.
WATCHTOWER
JUNE 19, 12:20 EST
In a huge satellite orbiting the earth two different men dressed in green and black tights suddenly got a message from their rings that a new ring bearer for their sector had been chosen. They would be joined on their meeting of the new ring bearer by a third guy (no pun intended). In the same satellite, a beautiful woman blessed by the gods thought about how years ago she had lost her toddler sister Donna Troy, when she was showing her little sister Patriarch's world. Suddenly, she remembered an old man with the weirdest fashion sense and sparkling eyes (she shuttered at remembering the weirdo) who had kidnaped her sister and erased her memory of the event. Wonder Woman immediately went off to talk to the other people on the satellite to see if they could help find her kidnapped sister.
THEMYSCIRA
JUNE 19, 12:20 EST
In the hidden land of Themyscira, a woman was thrilled to discover the location spell had finally worked and told her the missing princess of Themyscira was located where Wonder Woman said the Watch Tower was located. She immediately set out to have a message sent to their ambassador called Wonder Woman to tell her this information.
NEW YORK CITY
JUNE 19, 12:20 EST
In New York City, a father suddenly remembered his sister and nephew that he had only learned he had a year before his sister died. He remembered shortly before their death meeting the animagus Sirius Black and Werewolf Remus Lupin, and how he was going to cure Lupin of his infliction at the earliest time possible. He remembered his sister Lily Potter and that he was one of the people listed for taking care of Harry James Potter in an emergency.
He used his magic to send out a probe in order to sense the condition that Harry was in and sensed massive amounts of magic around Harry. Worried that Harry might be in trouble he checked to see that his daughter Zatanna was asleep and then with an "EKAT EM OT YRRAH SEMAJ RETTOP" and disappeared with a small pop.
Giovanni Zatara unfortunately did not know Zatanna was not asleep and that Zatanna being as curious as she was followed her father with a well-practiced "WOLLOF REHTAF" and left the home empty.
Giovanni Zatara arrived in the room of requirement and was about to start investigating when he saw his daughter appear right next to him. About to berate his daughter for letting his daughter's curiosity get the better of her, He stopped when he saw what was in front of him, which was what looked like a younger sister and a younger brother of his colleague. Uttering "Wohs gnivil ylimaf" while he pointed his hand at each of them in turn, it confirmed his suspicions that these two were related to his fellow leaguers. As he saw the two teens were in the middle of completing a soul bond he took hold of each of the teens and her confused daughter before he transported them all to watchtower, and appeared right in front of Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman upon seeing the girl she just knew was Donna Troy screamed "Donna!?" and hugged her while crying.
Giovanni noticed that the glow around the two stopped just as the leaguers on board came rushing to the scene to see what the commotion was all about. Superman was surprised to see a boy who looked like him as a teenager with green eyes. What shocked him the most was that the boy was floating five feet in the air like he did as a teenager in his sleep before he learned how to fly. Giovanni Zatara took the opportunity presented to send Zatanna back to their house and put a locking spell on her to prevent her from following him again for the time being.
After he out of his surprise, Superman first looked at Giovanni and said, "Please explain."
A tall muscular man next to him in a Black spandex suit that made him look like a large bat narrowed his eyes into his patented glare at Giovanni Zatanna. The rest of the people on board gave varied looks of surprise at this event. Giovanni sighed and explained all that he knew about the situation.
Meanwhile in another realm between life and death a discussion with massive revelations was taking place.
A/N: That is the end of the chapter and the premise of my story, so please review and tell me what you think of it.
