Harry was running from the stunners that were shot at him from the wands of the Hogwarts defenders. Seeing a corridor several meters away, Harry started to use his wind power to give him more speed and started to walk on the wall itself, just to avoid the stunners and other dangerous spells that Snape, Dumbledore and others fired at him. Seeing an opening, Harry jumped right through the barrage of spells that missed him with inches to spare. As Harry kept running, he got a message that the targets had been retrieved via an ear piece that Alex Summers had charmed to work with magic. "Harry, the runners are moving towards the gate. Keep them busy" Said Alex as he made his way to the gates of Hogwarts that were blown open by some very impressive explosion from the Weasley twins.
"Okay, I'll try something new then" said Harry as he moved towards a window and shooting some piercing hexes, Harry jumped through the window that was overlooking the northern mountains.
Falling several feet, Harry activated his power to allow him to glide on the air. Using his arms, Harry glided to a window on the third floor, where he broke a window and landed inside. As Harry landed, he sent out a passive magic pulse, giving him the location of several aggressors who were coming for him. "Any time now" Muttered Harry in his ear piece. Seeing that his backup wasn't coming, Harry decided to do a little house decoration. Blasting curses shot from his wand and wandless hand as the rubble created a blockade for his attackers. "Here I am" said a voice, and Harry smiled as he saw Luna opening a door. "Did you get it?" Asked Harry as he closed the door and sealed it with a double locking charm. Luna nodded. "The first of the five stones that Dumbledore uses to monitor Hogwarts students and staff." luna said as she showed Harry the purple-grey stone that was humming softly. "Well done, Luna. Where are the other stones?" Harry asked as the door was being hit with spells. "Come with me" said Luna as she opened a portal and jumped in. Harry jumped in right before the portal closed and the door was blasted open, revealing Severus Snape, Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson. "Where are they" snarled Snape as he scanned the room with his eyes.
Luna and Harry popped out a portal, and Harry had to keep his balance as he was standing on the roof of Hogwarts. Looking at all directions, Harry relaxed his thoughts and sending a small pulse of passive magic, he soon located the stone they were after. The stone, was a square stone, maybe a feet long and wide that was stuck to the castle outer wall with a strong sticking charm. Feeling the stone trying to influence his actions, Harry forced down his occlumancy shields to prevent the stone getting a grip on him. "Luna keep on guard" said Harry as he started to float down to the stone and with some hard magical work, did Harry remove the stone from it's hiding place. Floating back upwards, Harry saw that Luna was standing by with a portal to transport the stone to Pacific Academy. "Not yet Luna, Said Harry as he removed the four tracking charms that were on the stone. The last tracking charm was very hard to break, but Harry succeeded in doing so. Sending the stone to Pacific, Harry and Luna jumped of the roof, and both grabbed their brooms before they left.
Zacharias Smith, Ronald Weasley and Millicent Bulstrode blasted through the door that connected the roof to the rest of the school. "Where are they" Shouted Zacharias. "There they are" Shouted Ron as he started to fire spells at the retreating broom riders.
"Forget it" said Millicent as she lowered her wand. "They are to far away to hit" Snarling, Zacharias threw his wand on the floor. "Damn them" he shouted as his first job as Hogwarts protector ended in a failure. A small beeping signal from Ron's pocket alerted them that a new breach in security was underway. "Where is it, Weasley?" asked Millicent as she looked around. "Courtyard, main entrance" said Ron as he took a deep breath. "I'm tired, I can't go on like this" moaned Ron as he, Zacharias and Millicent started to move towards the main entrance.
It took several minutes before Ron and his group had reached the courtyard, and when they entered they could see all other 'defenders of Hogwarts' standing as still as a rock. Sparks from small fireworks flew around, while other fireworks were shooting through the air.
"This is Fred and George's doing" said Ron as he waved his hand to remove some of the sparks. That was a mistake. As soon as Ron had lowered his hand, several fireworks came towards him and showered him in sparks. "Fuck" Shouted Ron, covering his head with his hands. Feeling something wrong, Ron tried to move, but found out that he couldn't move a single muscle.
Looking at the fireworks that was still shooting sparks, Alex Summers paused the simulation, while he looked at the Weasley twins. In some sort of weird accident, they found the perfect distraction and possible elimination tools. The sparks from the fireworks were designed that anyone they hit would freeze to stone in a couple of second for fifteen minutes. And there was nothing that they could do about it.
"Well done, boys. The simulation was a success." Said Alex as he shook the twins hands. Waving his hand as Luna and Harry as they exited the simulator, Alex nodded to the Terror Twins to vanish the fireworks.
Smiling, the twins raised their wands and used a simple duplication charm to vanish the fireworks and sparks. "You know, I never understood why you use a duplication charm to vanish stuff, doesn't a vanishing charm work better?" Asked Alex.
"Normally it does." Said one of the twins. "But we found several charms in the library that are very useful for this kind of work." said the other twin. "How so?" asked Alex as he lead them to the stairs and back into Pacific Academy. "You never thought about using charms then what they were made for right?" asked one of the twins, probably Fred as they reached the Great Hall. "Well, we have good charm classes and such, but now you talk about it. I guess not." Said Alex.
"And that's exactly why we did what we did." Said the other twin. "If we continue with the same old charms we all know and love, that doesn't do us any good now will it? Why using a vanishing charm to vanish something, if we can duplicate it with the spell that is used to vanished stuff."
"You gonna have to explain that for me" said Alex as he sat down at a table in the great hall. The great hall was not quite full, but there were several students and staff sitting there, eating and discussing various items. Including the successful retrieval from Minerva McGonagall, Filius Flitwick and Dora Vectors Cousin, Professor Septima Vector.
"We all know the incantation for vanishing and duplication." Said George as he started to explain.
"What we did was training ourselves with several spells to say the opposite. The vanishing spell is such a spell. Instead of saying 'Evanesco' we say 'Geminio' and our items that we charmed ourselves vanish. If another wizard tries to vanish them, they will end up multiplying them."
Before Alex could ask any more questions, they heard a terrifying scream as Harry, who had returned earlier to have some lunch in the great hall, fell down on his knees, holding his head between his arms. "Harry" Shouted Ginny who came running towards him, as was Hermione and Luna. The girls tried to keep Harry firmly on the ground, but it was no use, as Harry shook their hands of him. "Get out of my way" Shouted Alan Richards as he came in with Alexandra and Gabriella behind him. Kneeling down, Alan and Alexandra shot stunners at Harry who collapsed on impact with the stunners. "What is happening?" Asked Ginny as she held Harry's hand in her own and squeezing it with worry. "I don't know, the castle alerted me that something was coming and ha to do with Harry." said Alexandra as she watched Alan working on Harry. "I need to get him to the hospital wing, now" Said Alan as he cast a levitation charm on Harry's body, and saw to his utter amazement that the charms had no effect on Harry. "Alexandra, the charm refused." Said Alan awestruck. "That has never happened before" Said Gabriella softly as she kneeled down near Harry's head and opened his eyes.
In Harry's mind, the earth was a wasteland of rubble. A lone figure stood in front of a once mighty castle that Gabriella had known so well. Pacific Academy was nothing more than a large pile of rubble. "How?" She asked as she looked around. "This is the future where I came from. My parents once told me that life on this planet started to fail when the fake lord of light came to power." Said the figure to Gabriella, as she turned around. She was dressed in black, and held a familiar wand close in her hand. "My great-grandfather owned this wand, and used it to protect many people who would have died in vain if he didn't sacrifice himself. My grandfather was born two weeks before he died." Lifting the black hood, Gabriella came face to face with "Luna?"
"No, My great-grandmother was Luna Potter-Lovegood. I am Arianna Potter" Said the witch as Gabriella looked closer. She could see that while resembling Luna Lovegood, this girl wasn't her. She had blond hair with a streak of red colour through her hair, and brown eyes that, if Gabriella saw correctly, had once sparked with life and joy, but were now dull and lifeless.
"What happened?" Asked Gabriella as she pointed towards the surrounding buildings. "It is the year 2221. The age of magic as you know is over. Muggles have developed ways to suppress magical development, after the so called leader of the light, killed the Queen of England and her family to take over as 'Emperor Dumbledore the first'. "Dumbledore?" Asked Gabrielle as Arianna waved the same wand that Harry once wielded in his school years at Pacific Academy. Suddenly Gabriella was drawn into an illusion of what happened in the world. Here, she saw more and more people taking refuge as Dumbledore's army took over the world. First it was the French, then Belgium and the Netherlands. Then Spain and Portugal. Then it started to move land inwards, leading all the way to Moscow.
When finally fighters from the Chinese Magical community started to respond to the threat of Dumbledore's massive magical army. The muggle community rose up as one and started to fight back. Millions were killed in the following years, but slowly but surely, did Dumbledore lose control of ´his´ empire. Using a very dangerous ritual, Dumbledore summoned the bodies of his followers and animated them before he marched to the front of the battle lines. The animated followers were cut down by the might of the muggle army, but eventually it was Dumbledore who won the war.
America responded with the force of thousand exploding suns and released it´s massive nuclear weapons. Hundreds of nuclear missile's were sent at the former European union. Several missiles were shot at a remote place in the north of Scotland. Right where Hogwarts, School for Witchcraft and Wizardry was located. With an enormous explosion, did the school cease to exist, but the magic that surround Hogwarts retaliated and via the Ley-lines that connected Hogwarts with the earth, sent out an massive wave of energy that created earth-quakes, volcano eruptions and massive tsunami's all over the world. The American government soon 'discovered' that there were wizards and witched in the world, who according to the CIA were 'responsible for the massive damage to our planet'
It set out to kill every magical being, starting with the wizards and witches. Soon it was Vampires, Elves, Centaurs, Mermaids, Goblins and Giants. The earth is also covered with a fine dust that would slowly kill any magical being.
"NO, please no" Cried Gabriella as the illusion ended. "I can't believe it. I just can't"
"Believe it" Said Arianna as she moved forward. Her wand slowly crumbling into ash. "The first thing you need to do is to give my Great-Grandfather and his bonded, advanced magical combat training. Then they must release the dragon of the sea and finally, in the year 2001 you must go to war. If you don't do as I suggested, then what I've shown you will come to pass" Said Arianna as she slowly started to crumble to dust, just like her wand.
"What is happening to you?" Asked Gabriella as he pointed to the dust that was leaving her. "I am nothing more than a message for you, Gabriella. For vampires will remember. You always have" Said Arianna as she faded to dust. Looking around again, she found herself in her own body, with Harry still in front of her.
"Gabriella, are you okay?" Asked Alexandra as Alan waved his wand over her. "I will be. But right now I need a pensieve to show you all what I've seen." Said the deputy headmistress as she slowly rose on her feet. "To all students who are here, take note that Tomorrow Classes will start with a heavy dose of Defence against the dark arts" Announced Gabriella as she picked up Harry from the ground and carried him to the hospital wing, closely followed by Alan, Alex, Alexandra and Harry's bonded. Placing him in a bed, Gabriella smiled softly as Harry's girls came to sit around him. "Make sure you take good care of him" Said Gabriella as she made her way to the headmistress office.
"We will" said Hermione as she watched the Deputy leave the hospital wing, followed by almost everyone of the staff.
In Alexandra's office the memory of her chat with Arianna was duplicated and displayed on a projection pensieve.
"We need to do something" said Filius Flitwick, as he watched the castle he had become to love being nothing more than a pile of stone. "I Agree, but how do we do that?" Asked Minerva McGonagall as she saw the damage to the world in the memory.
"We follow Arianna's advice" Said Remus Lupin as he looked at the replaying loop of the memory. "We go to war"
And that, ladies and gentlemen is the second story.
One more to go.
It will be posted when it's ready.
And when is it ready? I don't know because I don't have any inspiration at the moment.
