Chapter 26
Rituals and Prophecies
In a galaxy far, far away…
After discovering the search for the WEAPON. Abeloth destroyed the ship and all who were on board. Abeloth then turn and infiltrated the Republic, taking charge of it once again. She then began making changes to the laws. The Galactic Republic, now under the secret ruling of Abeloth, surprisingly declared that all Force users were usurpers of the Republic and declared a death sentence on all of them. Just like the Purge, when Darth Sidious and Darth Vader laid waste to the then Jedi Order. Abeloth decided to wipe any and all who could stop her.
This prompted the Jedi and Sith Orders to work together once again to end the threat. They tried to isolate Abeloth from her many thralls with the government and military. However, no matter what they did, they lost each engagement.
It was at this time Lily was born from Grand Master Ben Skywalker and the leader of the new Sith Order, Lady Vestara Khai. During the birth of Lily, Vestara had a vision of the destruction of both Orders. Within hours of Lily's birth, orders were given, that one of the ships available was filled with supplies, gold, and other precious metals and gems for bartering and lightsaber construction. Seven droids were loaded; four ship repair droids, two bipedal droids; one being combat enhanced, and the last one was a medical droid. Also loaded were two of the latest R-Wing Stealth-X fighters.
It was a teary-eyed Ben and Vestara who passed over their only child to be taken far, far away in order to save the last of the two orders. The rest prepared to distract the forces of the republic in order to make the secret departure. She hated not taking more Force users, but the Force told them that her mission would fail if more than her and Lily left in the ship.
The next day the planet exploded.
She headed to Pydyr, the secret homeworld of the Fallanassi and she was told about a clan that had split off over two millennia ago in order to find a safe planet, one that could be hidden, even by the Force. She received new supplies and updated their maps and headed out passed the unknown regions of space.
Using one of the last and most technologically advanced ships used by the Jedi Council, and with the collective knowledge from one of the few living Fallanassi left alive, she followed a path of the ancient Fallanassi that split off from the galaxy some two and a half thousand years ago.
Two days later, everything living on the planet, died.
~Force~
Winter, 1970,
Planet Earth, Country of United Kingdom, England
She arrived in a new solar system, but it wasn't till they came close to the third planet that she could begin to feel the life force of the planet, and it was brimming with Force energy.
She landing on an old abandoned airfield that should have been on an isolated island, which was in fact, not. She carried her niece out of the ship and was thankfully met by ones who walk the path of the light.
Instantly, two wielders of the modified white current appeared out of thin air with a faint sound of dispersing air. With some type of Force modified pieces of wood. Fortunately, they did not shoot, as they become aware of the fact she was carrying a small child. However, our first bit of the problem was our inability to speak to one another.
In the Force, I could roughly make out what was being said, but it wasn't till an old woman appeared with a large bowl and a glass vial of some type of blue liquid that thrummed in the Force. The interpretation was that she was required to drink the liquor and place her face?, Appendage? in the bowl?
Over the next few hours, she learned the language of Earth's English and she now knew who the people in front of her were. The older pair was Fleamont and Euphemia Potter while the younger pair was Charles and Dorea Potter. Their son, who seemed to be the same age as Lily, was named James Potter.
She explained about how they, Lily, and herself, got there and the whys. A great being that was once thought gone, returned, and annihilation the Jedi and Sith controlled worlds. She was to hide Lily and hope that one day, she could return to the stars in order to defeat the one known as Abeloth and return peace to the galaxy.
~Force~
Sadly, this was not to be. Lily, through the guidance of the Force, was handed over to a nice family in London, who could not have another child, to be cared for as an adopted child. She was then recruited by a friend of Charles Potter into a team known as the Unspeakables and adopted the name 'Sword' a shortened version of her Jedi title, 'Sword of the Jedi.'
It was a dark time due to their country just getting over the rise of a dark lord, and the rumor about another one slowly coming to power. The ship was moved into a building and then, miraculously, shrank down in size and changed into that of a steamer trunk. The inside was changed to accommodate a few rooms large enough to walk around and store items in. And then a special key was made to access the room that held their ship.
Time moved on, and 'Sword' watched over Lily from afar. She watched over her life, watched as she surprisingly received a letter to learn in the modified version of the white current. She knew that she should begin lily's training in the ways of the Force but knew she couldn't, not while she was being trained in the modified white current. She still did not want to become anymore known than she already was.
When Lily visited Potter isle, under many vows and charms, she was reintroduced to Lily so she could begin training Lily in the Force. It was unfortunate when after two years she was forced into hiding to protect the recent addition to the Skywalker family. She felt the pain and loss when Lily died and wasn't able to retrieve little Harry in time before he was removed from the property and lost to her senses.
Over the thirty-some years, she was in this world. Witnessing the decedents of the White Current, war, and politic over their bigotry and hatred. She only prayed that the Force would find a way to save them from their madness, somehow.
~Force~
The first thing he noticed when Harry stepped into the maze and the hedge closed behind him was the absence of sound. It was something that he thought they would do to keep from hearing things within or outside of the maze to hinder or help the other champions. He also figured that the opening actual a portal that sent the champions into different parts of the maze so that they could not simply follow the path of the champions ahead of them.
Fifty yards he reached his first fork in the maze. Reaching out with the Force, Harry felt the normal sense of danger, but also a dampening of the Force that was not within his direct line of sight. 'Had someone somehow manage to negate the Force within the maze?' It might be possible; Harry was sure that within some study there were ways of suppressing someone's magic. Force users were sometimes caught and placed in cuffs to be prosecuted. Even in the magical world, there were cuffs that were etched with Rune to drain a witch of the wizard's ability to use their magic. He would have to be on guard if that were so.
Harry closed his eyes and turn to the left, the feeling of taking the next right when next he had the opportunity to do so would be the best path to go.
To make things even more difficult for Krum and the creatures within the maze, Harry thought about his cloak and within seconds he vanished from sight. It wouldn't do him any good to allow anyone, or anything, the ability to get the drop on him or to provide Krum or anything with a target to be attacked from a distance.
This was no sooner true as when he made his first right, he nearly walked into one of Hagrid's pets. The Blast-Ended Skrewts having managed to grow to the size of a medium-size car, despite not really finding what it ate. The monster must have sensed something as it turned and rushed in Harry's direction. With lightning-quick reflexes, Harry pulled the red blade from within his robes, activate it, and had the beast cut into four pieces. The first to go was the supposed head, followed by the tail, and a quick slash from tail to head. Turning away from the cooling corpse, Harry continued along the path. Hagrid would have been upset about the beast, but in this game of life and death, there was no place for the light-hearted soul. From the moment of Harry's attack to now the Cloak had disappeared making himself visible.
After a few more turns he ran into a dementor. Without even thinking Harry lifted his wand and a stag sprang into view and began to charge the dementor down. When the dementor, fell back and tripped, Harry understood and shouted, "Riddikulus!" There was a loud crack, and the shape-shifter exploded in a wisp of smoke. Harry wondered whether to keep Prongs around for the light but decided he did not want to be seen so let the power go, and a moment later, the stag disappeared.
Once again, the cloak was pulled over him. With the Force as his ally, he did not meet a dead end. When he was confronted with a silvery mist, he reached out with the Force. Not sensing anything harmful, Harry took a step forward and the world spun, and he felt as if the world had flipped upside down, in the next step and he was right side up and passed the obstacle. Strangle, it did not change his Force perception in any way. At the next intersection, he took a left.
~Force~
The girls, sitting outside of the maze, could feel the anticipation of the crowd as they waited for the champions to finish. Fleur had just entered not five minutes before. Hermione looked around and spotted those of their fellow classmates moving around the crowd. Daphne noticed them, as well as a few of the darker aligned families. Susan picked out many of the ministry officials, most of them, if not all of them, from the Darker aligned members within the Wizengamot.
~Force~
Kaida smelled something in the air that reminded her of wolf-man. She looked up into the sky and found that the night sun was not completely round so she wondered why the area smelled of wolf-man. She also smelled more than one wolf-man. She moved from her lookout perch and placed herself around the big one's den. She then decided to fly up to the tower and get a better view of the area. She would be ready if there were too many wolf-mans for the little beings to handle. On top of everything she sensed, she had lost contact with her other half the moment he walked into the green walled area and would worry her to no end. But trusted in her other's safety for see could not interfere with this task.
~Force~
HK monitored the marked Meatbag Death Eater known as Karkaroff. It wasn't very hard to do with his recent upgrades from his Master. The lowly meatbag continued to whisper something under his breath. Something HK had wanted to stop as soon as he could with his master's approval, of course…
Regardless, HK would do his duty. It was his lot in life, ending hostilities, by terminate enemies in the most efficient way possible. Pulling out his dual blasters HK stated, "Positive Statement: Weapons charged."
~Force~
Walking down the path, Harry heard from the other side of the maze wall, "Crucio!" and a girl screaming. There was only one girl in the maze, 'Fleur.'
Igniting his red blade, Harry swung the blade parting the maze wall. Instantly, the maze regrew itself to cover the hole. Harry knew that this would require timing. Feeling in the Force, Harry threw the lit blade horizontally and using Force speed to jump over the blade just as the lightsaber sliced its way through the wall, less than a second later, Harry grabbed the blade handle and landed just down the row from the scream. Turning in the direction he saw Krum holding Fleur under one of the three Unforgivable. Without much thought, Harry ran forward and struck out with thick bolts of blue lighting.
The Durmstrang champion didn't notice the oncoming lighting heading his way, enjoying the pain and suffering of one of the Potter boy's girls and for his own personnel amusement. That was until the power connected to him and the only thing to come from him was his screams as the lighting burn part of his body and caused his muscle to twitch uncontrollably. An instantly later, a barrier appeared around Krum, stopping the Force Lightning from hurting the champion further.
Harry let up after a few seconds and eyed the foreigner with distaste.
Krum smiled cruelly and shifted into a dueler's stance.
"So, you finally arrived, Harry Potter? Took you long enough to get here. I've already seen the cup." Krum's grin was predatory.
Harry had mixed feeling about that, 'Why didn't he take the cup? Did he really just want to attack Fleur and me?' With a gesture of his hand, Fleur slid from her spot, closer and behind Harry.
"… 'arry…" Fleur whispered weakly.
Harry knelt down a placed a hand on Fleur's shoulder and pushed Force Healing into her, soothing the strained nerves and muscles.
"Although I appreciate your kneeling before your betters. You will be kneeling before someone else soon enough," Krum spoke deviously.
Harry stood up and moved away from Fleur. No matter what happened, he did not what anything to happen to the beautiful woman by his side. With the threat imminent, Harry wasn't inclined to hold back either. With Force based reflexes he moved just as Krum shouted, "Avada K…"
Harry appeared on the other side of the World Cup champion, his red blade out and angle to the right and behind him.
There was a moment of silence before the head, right shoulder, and arm of the champion slid to one side, just as the body crumped to the other.
Harry closed his eyes at what he had just done, despite knowing it had to be done. 'Breath in… breath out…' He knew that the champion wasn't under any compulsion as nobody could summon the needed hate to cast any of the unforgivable. Standing up, Harry turned and returned to the still injured woman that would soon be part of his family.
"Fleur," he whispered softly in French. "You can't continue in your state."
"I know this 'arry Potter," she whispered back with a smile, still feeling the pain despite Harry trying to do some type of healing on her. She did love him so and knew that she would need to be the one to send the sparks up, to call forth her forfeiture of the winnings to her Harry. She just wanted a bit more time within this moment. "Go, my love. We shall see each other once this task is complete."
Feeling her strength beginning to leave her, Harry laid her back down and placed a gentle kiss on her lips before stepping back. Fleur raised her wand weakly and sent up blue and silver sparks into the sky. The winds grew stronger and Harry moved away just as a small tornado past over her body and she disappeared. Harry let out a long sigh and turned in the direction of the cup.
The trip to the cup was halted twice. Once, by a beautiful sphinx who asked a riddle and answering with the correct password, "Spider." He'd performed a respectful bow to her, and she wished him well.
The second was a spider the size of a pickup truck. It had run straight for him. Just in the last second, Harry rolled to the left and brought his blade up through the first two legs of the creature and the left middle leg. It twisted its head and Harry drew his other blade and while throwing it, activated the blue blade, bisecting part of its head as the blade held no resistance to its flesh.
With a gesture, the blade returned to his hand and he deactivated. Turning around the cup lay some fifteen meters away on an ornate pedestal.
Approaching the cup, Harry could feel the power coming from the cup, halting just as his hand was about to touch the cup.
Pulling back, he tried again. Again, the feeling of danger in the Force could be felt from it if he would touch the cup. Looking around he felt no danger in the Force at this location, "So, it where the cup will take my that will be the danger."
Thinking for a bit. Harry placed a wizarding Notice-me-Not spell on his two lightsabers that now rested again on his belt. He also sent out a mental warning to his girls through the Force that danger was emanating.
Little did Harry know, two others picked up on that message through the Force and were also getting ready.
Just as Harry reached out and grabbed the cup, regardless of the warning in the Force not to. Because as the hook behind his navel took hold of him, a flash of red emanated from the cup and Harry Potter, knew no more.
~Force~
Just outside the maze, a woman not as old as Dumbledore stopped and peered into the center of the maze in the direction of the Tri-Wizard trophy. A warning from the youngest champion caused her to reach for a silver and black cylinder that rested on the belt that was wrapped around her cloak.
The instant after the Cup was taken, all of the hedges collapsed, and the remaining creatures were placed into a form of stasis lock. Everyone stared at the dead champion and the Empty podium without a champion or Cup. Panic was short to follow.
~Force~
Harry returned to consciousness, tied to a statue inside a small graveyard. It was slightly darker, but not by much. So he wasn't out for a long time. Unless he was transported to another continent or to a different time zone. However, that wasn't really a concern at the time… he wasn't alone.
Already, Harry saw over a dozen or so silver masked Death Eaters. He could see but somehow, he could not feel the Force. Somehow, his connection to the Force had been severed, or suppressed, at the very least. Then he felt the metal bracelets on his wrists, 'probably magical suppression cuffs'. It was an interesting concept that magical runes could suppress Force energy.
Lifting his head more, Harry saw a large cauldron on an open fire with a pale liquid slightly bubbling and shooting sparks into the air. Moving around the cauldron was a very large snake about five meters in length. It looked around with that of a higher level of intelligence.
A circle of death eaters parting and Wormtail walked forward with a bundle in his arms. One death eater stepped forward with silvery-blonde hair, 'Lucius Malfoy.' "It's ready, my lord," he stated and backed up to circle.
"Hurry," said the voice from the bundle.
Wormtail moved forward and dropped a baby's body into the cauldron and stepped back. He then brandished a wand and pointed it at the grave marker that Harry was tied to. There was the movement of soil and a bone, clean of flesh, emerged from the grave and levitated over to the cauldron.
"Bone of the father, unknowingly given, you will renew your son!" Pettigrew stated before ending the levitation spell and it dropping into the cauldron. The surface of the water broke and hissed and sent more sparks in all directions before turning a vivid, poisonous-looking blue.
Another death eater stepped forward holding an axe. The fourth Marauder held out his hand with the missing finger over a stump just before the ax-wielding man cut it off with a loud scream and a few sniffles from Wormtail.
Grabbing the limb from the stump he placed it over the potion and said, "Flesh… of the servant… willingly given… you will… revive… your master."
Harry now understood that Voldemort wanted to punish him and his followers for their abandonment of him after his fall.
The hand was dropped in and the potion turned a burning red and grew bright with an inner light. So bright that many of the attending death eaters had to turn their heads for a moment.
Another death eater stepped up and cast a constrictive charm on the stump, preventing him from dying due to blood loss.
Wormtail then pulled a long knife from his waist with his wand arm and moved over to Harry.
"Blood of the enemy… forcibly taken… you will… resurrect your foe."
However, Harry knew this would happen and knew that despite his position. He did want Voldemort to return. However, without his return to a living body, his soul would be able to possess another body. So, in a way, he wanted this.
Wormtail slid the knife along the length of his outstretched arm causing a lot of pain and drawing a good amount of blood. The rat allowed the blood to spill over the knife and walk back to the cauldron and flick the knife three times releasing a spatter of blood each time.
It the meantime, the death eater who cast the constrictive charm stepped in again and sealed Harry's wound.
As the blood touched the potion, it changed for the third time. The potion turned a faded silvery color then the cauldron began to glow with heat and then burst into flames. Then like after everything had burned away, turned to black smoky ash and gas. Then a body was formed out of the ash and smoke.
Harry noticed many things missing from the body, a nose, and also something most men would not like to have lost.
Despite this, he lowered himself down to the burnt ground and said, "Robe me."
At this, another death eater stepped forward with a robe of high quality and draped it over his master's new body.
Lord Voldemort then spent the next few moments basking in the feel of his new body. Rubbing his hands, his arms, and his hairless head. His eyes were red, and he noticed that he was lacking a nose.
Lord Voldemort had risen again.
Once Voldemort finished his self-discoveries', Wormtail approached and pulled from an inner pocket the bone-white yew wand that was Voldemort.
Again, he inspected the wand for any damages, then with a swirl and a jab, a silver hand formed and attached itself to Wormtail's arm that was missing the hand.
Amazed at the hand, he bent down, grabbed a small twig, and then crushed into powder.
"Thank you, Master," the sniveling worm groveled.
"May your loyalty never falter again, Wormtail," the Dark Lord proclaimed.
"No, Master,"
He then spent the next few minutes speaking to each of the death eaters, in turn, Lucius Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, 'not surprising seeing as their son all hang out together', Macnair; Buckbeak would-be-killer, Nott who had grovelled on hands and knees, and Pettigrew had. There were four names Harry hadn't heard of… Alecto and Amycus Carrow, Avery, and Corban Yaxley.
However, what surprised Harry was the three names that were supposed to be in the prison Azkaban, but were now among the group, Bellatrix, Rabastan, and Rodolphus Lestrange. Harry wondered, 'How did they escape? Were they let out, perhaps by the same means that Pettigrew had escaped?' Harry was broken from his thoughts as Voldemort began to speak.
"You know, of course, that they have called this boy my downfall?" Voldemort said softly, his red eyes settled upon Harry, "You all know that on the night I lost my powers and my body, I tried to kill the boy. His mother died in the attempt to save him… unwittingly providing him with a protection. I admit, I had not foreseen this… and I could not touch the boy. Which I had discovered four years ago."
"His mother left upon him the traces of her sacrifice… This is old magic, I should have remembered it, and I was foolish to overlook it… but no matter. I can touch him now."
He did not feel any pain, just the disgust of having someone so vial touching him, making him want to go and take a shower… for a week. And after a moment, Tom realized that he was not causing any pain and retracted his finger.
Stepping back Tom looked almost disappointed at his ineffectiveness. Turning away he continued his monologuing, "I miscalculated, my friends, I admit it. My curse was deflected by the woman's foolish sacrifice, and it rebounded upon myself. Ah… pain beyond pain, my friends; nothing could have prepared me for it. I was ripped from my body, I was less than spirit, less than the meanest ghost… but still, I was alive. What I was, even I do not know… I, who have gone further than anybody along the path that leads to immortality. You know my goal… to conquer death. And now, I was tested, and it appeared that one or more of my experiments had worked… for I had not been killed, though the curse should have done it."
'Did he want to tell him about the loss of his little trinkets,' Harry thought. 'although with him here meant there was one more and it could possibly be close by.' Harry began to look closer at his surroundings. Then another thought accord to Harry, 'Hadn't they already knew how he came back? Why was he monologuing? Was this more for me than for them?'
"Nevertheless, I was as powerless as the weakest creature alive, and without the means to help myself… for I had no body, and every spell that might have helped me required the use of a wand. I remember only forcing myself, sleeplessly, endlessly, second by second, to exist… I settled in a faraway place, in a forest, and I waited… Surely, one of my faithful Death Eaters would try and find me . . . one of them would come and perform the magic I could not, to restore me to a body… but… I waited in vain…"
The shiver ran once more around the circle of the listening Death Eaters. Voldemort let the silence spiral horribly before continuing.
"Only one power remained to me. I could possess the bodies of others. But I dared not go where other humans were plentiful, for I knew that the Aurors were still abroad and searching for me. I sometimes inhabited animals… snakes, of course, being my preference… but I was a little better off inside them than as pure spirit, for their bodies were ill-adapted to perform magic… and my possession of them shortened their lives; none of them lasted long.
Then… four years ago… the means for my return seemed assured. A wizard… young, foolish, and gullible… wandered across my path in the forest I had made my home. Oh, he seemed the very chance I had been dreaming of… for he was a teacher at Dumbledore's school… he was easy to bend to my will… he brought me back to this country, and after a while, I took possession of his body, to supervise him closely as he carried out my orders."
"But my plan failed. I did not manage to steal the Sorcerer's Stone. I was not to be assured of immortal life. I was thwarted… thwarted, once again, by Harry Potter…"
Harry smiled at the memory.
Voldemort went on and on about how he had struggled and planned and continued on. How he got the information about the tournament. How he planned to force Harry Potter into the tournament. And how, at this moment, one of his most loyal followers was there ready to act on any of his future orders.
It came out of nowhere. Voldemort turned and shouted, "Crucio!"
The pain Harry felt was beyond anything he had ever experienced before. It lasted a second, it lasted an eternity. And then it was over, and he was panting at his relief.
"You see, how foolish it was to suppose that this boy could ever have been stronger than me," said Voldemort. "But I want there to be no mistake in anybody's mind. Harry Potter escaped me by luck… and chance. And I am now going to prove my power by killing him, here and now, in front of you all, where there is no Dumbledore to help him, and no mother to die for him. I will give him his chance. He will be allowed to fight, and you will be left in no doubt which of us is the stronger."
The snake again circled around Voldemort's feet. "Just a little longer, Nagini," he whispered in parseltongue, and the snake then glided away through the grass to where the Death Eaters stood watching. Harry eyed the snake for a second then returned his attention to Riddle.
Voldemort turned again and for the second time in his life, he was hit by the Crucio curse. When Harry was able to think clearly again and when Voldemort was ready, he said, "Now, Wormtail… untie him, remove those bindings, and give him back his wand. For what good it will do the boy."
'His wand,' he did not think he would be using a wand for this fight. "You will die soon, Peter," Harry whispered to the rat after the ropes were removed and Pettigrew was working to remove the bindings on his wrists.
"You cannot stop the master, Potter. No one can," Pettigrew replied weakly. After removing both of the bracelets Peter turned and left to pick up Harry's wand in order to return it to the boy.
~Force~
As Peter turned to get his wand, Harry pulled the Force into him, hard. The very act caused the grass and leaves to shift. Harry used the force for two things. The first was to heal his body as best as he could with the limited time he had. The second was to use the Force to pull both of his sabers from his waist and activate them.
Peter turned just in time to see a red beam of light strike his neck and he felt a flare of heat and then he was tumbling to the ground uncontrollably. The last thing he saw was the remains of his body falling away and then darkness overtook him.
~Force~
As soon as Harry attacked Peter, the fight was on, and with the bracelets now removed, he had full access to the Force, and was moving around in order to dodge a killing curse from Voldemort.
Two of the death eaters jumped forward to attack Harry, one was killed by Voldemort with another killing curse. The other one was hit by his own curse as Harry redirected it back at him. All the other death eaters backed away and formed into a much larger circle with those behind the inner circle stepped forward and filled the spaces.
"Do nothing!" Voldemort shrieked to the Death Eaters. "Do nothing unless I command you!" Voldemort shouted to the Death Eaters. Harry didn't care, he could now feel them all, and he was too busy moving out of the way of Voldemort's spells to care.
Voldemort, sure of a hit casted, "Avada Kedavra!"
Harry waved his hand and blocked the unblockable with… a death eater with long silvery-blonde hair. Who also screamed like a little girl, right up until he saved the Boy-Who-Lived life. Once the cast was blocked, Harry Force pushed the dead body at Voldemort. Voldemort simply cast another spell and the body turned to ash and blew away.
In the meantime, Harry threw one of the lightsabers which bisected another death eater. Circling the blade around to the next victim who didn't even realize that his head was already separated from the body until the bright blue blade came flying out from him and back to the boy. Who was using his red blade to swat away another spell from Voldemort.
"Hey, Tom!" Harry shouted. "Do you think you can win this fight without some more help?"
Voldemort gritted his teeth and signed with his hand for the others to begin attacking the boy. Harry's smile got even wider, as more death eaters came within range Harry lifted his right hand to the sky and a purple arc of electricity jumped from his hand to the nearest six death eaters. Suddenly, Harry felt revitalized and powerful.
Unfortunately, the death eaters all fell over as most of their life force and magical strength was just ripped out from their bodies.
Voldemort smiled, "such a wonderfully dark thing to do. What will Dumbledore say about that?"
What Dumbledore would say or think would need to heard later, as Riddle was forced to dive out of the way and summon a very strong shield charm as a torrent of volcanic hot fire shot out from Harry's right palm. Unfortunately, the three death eaters standing behind Tom didn't react fast enough and was burnt into a charcoal briquette.
Moving his hand, he caught the death eater with the axe, and while using the Force, crushed his neck.
He was going to go for another death eater when he felt panic that came from outside his Force range… It took him a moment before Harry realized that it came from Hogwarts!
He stopped the flame and starred at Voldemort, who returned with an evil smile, "Ah…" Voldemort exclaimed. "Did you really think this trap was intended for you alone? Since the second task, I have had to change my original plan for you and Hogwarts." Greyback and a few of my chosen are taking it and everyone associated with you… as… we… speak."
And Harry felt it, the panic and the pain coming from his loved ones. Turning to teleport to Hogwarts or at least the front gate did nothing happened. Clipping his blue saber to his belt he reached out with his left hand, Force pulling the cup to him, only for it to explode into fragments at Tom stuck it with a blasting curse.
"Tat-tat, Potter," chided the Dark Lord. "You will not be leaving us so easily." And Tom began again to firing curse after curse, faster than he had before.
Harry moved, jumped, and rolled out of the ways of Tom's curses. Only for Harry to get trapped and the large snake, Nagini, lunged at him. With reflexes unknown to anyone, Harry twisted out of the way while bringing the blue lightsaber up, bisecting the head of the snake from the body. The snake then exploded into black smoke and an ear-piercing scream of pain was heard. Just as Voldemort cried out in rage, "Nooo!"
Harry had just one thing left to say, "Hey Tom Marvolo Riddle, was that your last Horcrux? Because I like… already destroyed six others!"
And then Tom went nuts. Killing curses were cast without any regard to his followers. Those who did not Apparate out of the graveyard within seconds were used as a shield for Harry as he continued to evade his way out of the graveyard, as soon as he was able to, he teleported to the front gates of Hogwarts. Leaping into the air, Harry flew to where he felt the most pain and suffering.
~Force~
As soon as Harry arrived over to the quidditch stadium where the task took place, he saw the massacre that was taking place. Harry could already see multiple bodies lying unmoving on the ground one being that of the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge. Many of the children were heading towards the castle while the older students were creating shields or transfiguring barriers for them to escape and seek shelter. Their defense against the Dark Arts professor had Professor McGonagall held under the Cruciatus Curse. Harry dropped in with swords blazing and bisected her torso in half. Harry immediately spun around and deflected two killing curses, redirecting them towards two fully transformed werewolves. Werewolves that should not have been transformed in the first place. Most of the Aurors and Unspeakable was down. Near the Forbidden Forrest, Kaida, HK, and Hagrid were holding off an invading force of Acromantula spiders.
While on the other side of the field, stood five people with glowing weapons. To Harry's shock, they were defending a sixth person, who looked to have been clawed very badly and who also held a silver lightsaber hilt. Hermione and Susan both held the blue training blade in their left and a wand in their right. Daphne held a green blade in her right and her wand on the left. And finally, there were Luna hold with both arms a purple blade while direction the Force to push the werewolves into other werewolves or into the path of Arturia's golden blade. She was wearing her blue combat armor in the form of a dress while spinning her blade with deadly efficiency.
There was too much going on and he didn't know where to begin. Harry calmed himself in the Force and felt were the greatest danger lay. He felt the four presences in the Force, turning in the direction only to see nothing, but he knew they were there, and with the Force as his ally, leaped into the middle of the group. With his blades straight out, Harry spun one hundred and eighty degrees, sliced those invisible in half. What was left was four visible body bisected at the waist, all wearing death eater robes and mask. All were wearing invisibility cloaks.
With the death of the robe individuals, both groups, Acromantula, and werewolves turned and ran for the Forbidden Forrest in retreat. Harry moved over to his girls as they were finishing up with their own targets. The group parted, allowing Harry to perform some Force healing on the person laying on the ground. Unfortunately, by the time he placed his hand on her, the woman looked up and smiled at Harry's face with such love. "Hadrian Skywalker," she said before fading away leaving only her cloak, the lightsaber, and a strange disc on the ground.
Harry looked up from his kneeling position, someone had said something… It took Harry some time to understand what was being said.
"So, you survived your trials, Harry Potter."
Harry blinked again as his stolen powers from the graveyard left him causing him to feel weak and tired, but he tried to refocus some more, it was Luna talking. She had deactivated her blade and wasn't that a shock. Luna was also being trained in the ways of the Force. Harry nodded at the question. The girls gathered around. as did HK and Kaida, Harry sighed in relief, his family was safe. Hogwarts was safe for the moment, and then blackness overtook him, and he knew no more.
~End of Chapter twenty-six~
Author's notes: I just wanted to thank everyone for all those positive reviews and encouragement in this story. Ok, so the how and the whys Lily arrived on Earth, and if you know Cannon Star Wars the who had brought Lily to Earth. Many clues thought the story is now coming into play and I am now beginning to tie off the plot points.
I had wanted to end this with Harry and the girls and the aftermath, but I also knew the battle at Hogwarts was going to be a bit in-depth. Also, it would cause spoilers for the next chapter. So, I'll pick that up in the next chapter with the fight at Hogwarts, skipping through different points of view; followed by the aftermath, and the ending of the school year.
Until next time, thanks for all the favorites, follows, and reviews.
