IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE: It seems like I can't get myself into writing another chapter, so I decided to officially abandon this story (Sorry). I was always hopeful that the writing bug would bite again but since it's been five months since my last update, it seems like the need to write has left me (Temporarily I hope). And with "Half-Blood Prince" coming out so soon, I know that after reading it I'll never want to continue "Fear of the Dark". I'll probably read "Half-Blood Prince" back to back five or six times (If not more), and my imagination will come up with a hundred new situations (Just like it did after I read "Order of the Phoenix") and hopefully out of those situations, I'll start writing a new story.
FOR THOSE WHO JUST HAVE TO KNOW: The real Chapter Six was supposed to be about Harry's visit to his new Gringotts vaults, the Basilisk skin, a little more shopping and end it with Harry's mysterious felling… I was also planning that Harry NOT have a Multiple Compartment Trunk and Basilisk Wand… You know, just to be different.
The Strange pull that Harry felt in chapter Five was suppose to be a hidden Parseltongue book somewhere hidden in a shop in Knockturn Alley that was waiting for a worthy Parselmouth before showing it self. The book was suppose to have all sorts of very powerful spells and rituals (Some that Voldemort knows and used in the past, but most that he doesn't know about) that only a Parselmouth could perform. Examples: The first Serpensortia spell performed by a Parselmouth would summon a permanent magical snake (Like Voldemort did with Nagini) that would be Harry's new familiar and protector. The magical snake (I was planing to call her Lily) would have been needed to perform the most powerful rituals (Just like Voldemort used Nagini's venom for the rebirth potion he used in "Goblet of Fire") that Harry would have performed to increase his power and knowledge. I was also planning to give Bellatrix her youth back (About the same age as Harry is) with the help of a snake ritual and other stuff like that.
I was also planning Chapter Seven to be about the reactions of Voldemort, Dumbledore and some Order members, as they learned of Harry's flight from the Dursleys. That's about as far as I got for the future planning of " Fear of the Dark".
FOR ANYONE INTERESTED: If anybody out there would like to continue writing "Fear of the Dark" from where I left off or from the end of any of the five chapters or just rewrite the whole damn thing using some of my ideas, than go right ahead. The only thing I ask is to give me a little credit and to e-mail me about where to find your version of the story after you post it, so I can read and review it (My e-mail address is on my profile page).
SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW: Now this would have been the end of it if here were it not for two things that I can't stand in the world of Fan Fiction. The first: An Author failing to announce that he's actually abandoned one of his stories (Well I've done that now). And the second: Reading a interesting story, then the author of that story abandons it and you'll never ever know the ending…
Well it would be kind of hard for me to write an ending to a story with only 5 chapters with probably another 20 to go before it would end naturally. The first 5 chapters haven't even covered the introduction of the story yet and I can't really end it now or can I? Well with a bit of effort (Not that much really, because I wouldn't have bothered) I've decided to write a few "Likely" endings (Yes you heard me right, I said "Endings", as in more than one). So enjoy the endings, they're better than nothing…
DISCLAIMER: J.K. Rowling and various others own everything, I own nothing. Please don't sue me, I'm already poor and miserable.
Chapter Six - Four Endings and No Epilogue
By MasterKtulu
The Worst Possible Ending Under the Present Circumstances…
Harry and Bellatrix suddenly appeared out of thin air in Raphoke's empty office expecting to see the Goblin behind his desk. They looked around more closely and found nothing of notice. Harry grabbed Bellatrix's hand and made to the office door to see if they could find Raphoke.
Suddenly, before Harry could even touch the doorknob, an unknown man leaped silently from behind Raphoke's desk his Wand trained on the unsuspecting couple. Before Harry or Bellatrix could react in any way, Harry was enveloped by a familiar green light and instantly died. His body went completely limp and his hand let go of his lovers' trembling hand.
Bellatrix watched transfixed in silent horror her lover… Her salvation… Her everything fall in what seamed in slow motion until the final thud of him hitting the floor screamed in her ears.
On the floor, his eyes blank and expressionless, Harry lay unfeeling and silent. With death still hovering over him (Death as in a state of being not a person), gloating triumphantly at having finally caught up to his prey, fifteen years after Harry's initial miraculous escape.
With a lost look on her face, a single teardrop made its way down Bellatrix's cheek. And for no good reason whatsoever, she violently exploded sending her flesh, blood and organs everywhere in the neat Goblin's office.
The unknown man walked calmly trough Bellatrix's bloody remains and stepped over Harry's still body. He opened the office door and walked through it, never to be seen again.
The End…
The "Happily Ever After" Ending…
Harry and Bellatrix suddenly appeared out of thin air in Raphoke's office finding him seated behind his desk smiling at the two new arrivals.
"Harry, Bellatrix! Please have a seat, I've been expecting you."
Harry and Bellatrix sat down on the two offered seats in front of Raphoke's desk and Raphoke wasted no time getting started.
"Have you by any chance seen today's Daily Prophet?"
"No, why do you ask?" Asked a confused Harry.
Raphoke wordlessly handed today's copy of the Daily Prophet to Harry and waited.
Harry read the front-page headline out loud:
"Voldemort and Death Eaters all dead! And for good this time! Longbottom boy saves the day!"
Harry couldn't look away from the Daily Prophet, clearly stunned at the news.
"Neville? Who would have thought? But who cares, it's finally over! Bella were free, everything's over!" Exclaimed Harry still looking at the Daily Prophet.
"Oh! Harry I'm so happy, I couldn't stand raising a child with Voldemort and his Death Eaters after us."
"A child?" Harry looked stunned. "Does that mean what I think it means?"
"Yes Harry, I'm pregnant!"
"Oh! Bella I'm so happy, I'm going to be a father!"
And they lived happily ever after… Until Bellatrix's miscarriage.
The End…
The Mysterious "Scooby-Doo" Ending…
Harry and Bellatrix suddenly appeared out of thin air in Raphoke's office finding him seated behind his desk smiling at the two new arrivals.
"Harry, Bellatrix! Please have a seat, I've been expecting you."
Harry and Bellatrix sat down on the two offered seats in front of Raphoke's desk and Raphoke wasted no time and began the day's business.
"Now everything is ready, all there is to be done is to visit your new Vaults."
"Excellent Raphoke, excellent… But there's just one thing that's been bothering me."
"What would that be Harry?" Raphoke asked confused.
In one quick motion Harry Grabbed Raphoke's Head and pulled his mask away.
"Mr. Smith… The owner of the abandon amusement park… So it was you!" Harry exclaimed furiously.
Bellatrix's jaw dropped and watched the proceedings her eyes round as Galleons, as feelings of betrayal entered her.
"Yes me!" Raphoke exclaimed angrily. "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids."
At that very moment a nameless Auror entered the office and put Mr. Smith under arrest.
"Good Job Mr. Potter! He won't be bothering you any more where he's going." The nameless Auror assured Harry as he left the office dragging a bound and gagged Mr. Smith.
"Harry? Where did that Auror come from? How did you know that Raphoke was really Mr. Smith? Who is this Mr. Smith? And what's all this about an abandoned amusement park?"
"I don't know Bella, I just don't know." Harry stated seriously deep in thought.
Harry and Bellatrix looked at each other for a moment before they both collapsed laughing for no good reason.
The End…
The Worst Written Ending Ever…
Harry and Bellatrix suddenly appeared out of thin air in Raphoke's office finding him seated behind his desk smiling at the two new arrivals.
"Harry, Bellatrix! Please have a seat, I've been expecting you."
Harry and Bellatrix sat down on the two offered seats in front of Raphoke's desk and Harry spoke.
"Good morning Raphoke, how are you on this fine day?"
Suddenly Raphoke leapt to his feet and started to glow in a light shade of blue.
"Good Harry, a very good Morning indeed. Someone has finally uttered the Super Secret Word in my presence… I have waited many hundreds of years for someone to say the Super Secret Word to me… And that Super Secret Word is of course the all powerful magical word Morning."
A blinding flash of blue light exploded out of Raphoke and when the flash was over and Harry and Bellatrix were able to see again an old man with a long white beard was standing where Raphoke had been standing only moments before.
"Harry Potter, it is I Merlin. I am your ancestor and because you said the Super Secret Word in my presence, I shall grant you my infinite power."
There was a strange glow that enveloped Harry and Merlin disappeared to never be seen again. Harry felt unlimited power that he never had felt before, and knew how to use it. Harry snapped his fingers and a loud crack like thunder sounded all over the world.
It was all it took for Voldemort, all Death Eaters, and each and every person that ever pissed-off Harry to dropped dead wherever they where at that very moment. Harry snapped his fingers again and Bellatrix transformed into a perfect copy of a naked Mrs. Weasley with stretch marks, cellulite, sagging breasts and all.
"Come to me Mrs. Weasley, we shall make mad passionate Love together for all of eternity."
And so it began, Harry and his Bella (Looking as Mrs. Weasley) lived for all eternity having sex till the end of time in Raphoke's former office only stopping to change position or orifice…
The End… No really, it's over.
THANKS & SALUTATIONS FROM BEYOND: I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to read "Fear of the Dark", and extra "Hugs and Kisses" to those who took the extra effort to review. I'm sorry I couldn't finish it, I'm sure you'll all find other reasons to live very soon…
