Chapter One

"Harry, are you sure about this?" asked Hermione

"I'm not, but that's not a good enough reason to not do it." replied harry

Harry, Hermione and Ron faced the dark green doors that had 2 golden snakes on it leading into the private chambers of the thankfully now deceased Lord Voldemort in his underground lair.

After the battle of Hogwarts, the funerals and general recovery, the interrogations of those captured followers of Voldemort had begun. Aurors had gone and raided many locations and recovered a large number of dark artifacts.

This though was the main lair of Voldemort. The Ministry had specifically requested that Harry assist the large auror team that had been assembled to investigate it. As Harry was the person that had killed Voldemort, it was felt that he would provide valuable experience of any potential traps and would provide reassurance of the wizarding populace that such matters were being taken care of properly.

Harry, of course, had not even thought of not doing this without the aid of the other members of the Golden Trio.

So now they stood in front of the door leading into Voldemort's personal rooms. Harry, Ron & Hermione were at the front with 20 experienced (but nervous) Aurors behind them.

Hermione audibly sniffed, leaned over and whispered to the boys "Honestly, experienced Aurors acting like a bunch of schoolchildren. It's ridiculous."

Harry and Ron grinned at one another. It felt like old times.

Everyone raised their wands. Harry approached the door and hissed in parseltongue.

"Open!".

The golden snakes slithered to each side of the door as the locks snapped open and the Green doors swung inwards revealing the inner sanctum.

Chapter 1

The doors with the golden snakes swung slowly inwards, Harry, Ron & Hermoine plus the Aurors tensed up, wands at the ready as Voldemort's private chambers were revealed. The room was not dark but light and airy, decorated in the traditional colours of Slytherin, Green & Silver.

There was a couch, chairs, a desk, paintings on the wall of famous Dark wizards like Gindewald, etc. All in all it looked…..liveable.

Harry stepped forward with Hermoine & Ron in lockstep behind him. They slowly eased into the room, casting revealing charms in all directions for traps. They got more nervous as NOTHING was revealed.

They reached the centre of the room and stopped, each taking a part of the room, as the Aurors at the door began to enter the room.

Harry at that moment stepped on the body of the Silver Slytherin Snake embroidered into the carpet at the centre of the room. Immediately the wards woven into the fabric activated.

Magical energy swarmed into the room, crackling towards Harry through the floor, ceiling and the very air itself. Seeker reflexes saved Harry as "PROTEGO" snarled from Harry's lips and a powerful shield sprang up around him throwing back Hermione and Ron as the magic slammed into the shield with the force of a small bomb. The strain of holding the shield could instantly be seen on Harry's face

Hermoine looked around frantically trying to figure out this dark magic that permeated the room. Her eyes suddenly alighted on a small object in the corner of the room. It looked like a small piece of art, 2 spinning silver circles on a silver and gold base that held a...space within them.

She could see that some of the energy was coming from it, and as she looked round the room she spotted one in each corner. She paled as she realized what they were.

"Hermoine...what...do...I...do?" Harry spoke with enormous strain as he held his shield against the ferocious magical battering. His eyes captured Hermione's willing her to a solution. Ron turned and raised his wand towards one of the devices but Hermione knowing her boyfriend stopped him with a quick grab of his wand. "THAT would be ... bad"

"Harry, I think this is the Grande Transfero Locus. Dimension travelling device. It sends you to a different Earth, where things are...changed. Voldemort must have set this as a final trap. Keyed for you, if you entered this room."

"Harry... It can't be stopped...Voldemort, I'm guessing...plans to send you to somewhere...not pleasant."

"Bloody hell, Hermione..." Harry looked at her with horror written on his face

He swore "Bastard.." with feeling. Ron looking on, his mouth set, could only nod in sympathy.

The magic continued to fill the room. The atmosphere become oppressive...

Hermione blinked as a thought crossed her mind.

"Harry, you can't stop it...but you can change it. Make it send you where you want to go..."

"How??" Harry could only ground out that single word as he struggled to keep his shield up. Cracks in the shield began to form slowly.

"You need the Elder wand Harry, You need it's power to help you. Accio it to you, when it arrives drop your shield and grab the wand before the spell hits you. Then use it as your focus. Concentrate on Something good, Something Important to you, Someone, Someplace, Sometime. Then this spell will have to change to take you away from where Voldemort wants you. Do It now Harry, NOW!!"

"ACCIO ELDER WAND" Screamed Harry.

The cracks in Harry's shield were now noticeable. The magic was not getting through...yet...But everyone could see it was only a matter of moments till it collapsed.

Harry looked at Ron and Hermione...his best friends...his arm was outstretched towards the door waiting for the Elder wand. He look at them and said softly so that only they could hear "Thank you"

The Elder wand caroomed through the door and hit Harry's shield like a thunderbolt, collapsing it in an instant.

But it still took an instant for the magic in the room to realise that the barrier it had battered itself against was gone...and in that time Harry grasped firmly in his hand the Elder Wand...

The Magic in the Room seemed to howl in victory as it hammered into Harry...But Harry had a wand in either hand. One the equal to Voldemorts wand and the other the most feared and powerful wand in existence. The magic in the room realised it had to bend...bend to the will of these wands and their Master.

Harry closed his eyes and whispered one word...

"mum"

The Magic filled the room for an instant and winked out just as quickly, leaving a shell shocked room full of aurors, a bushy haired witch quietly turning and beginning to cry on a disbelieving Ron's shoulders...

and an empty space where Harry James Potter had been.

Ron whispered softly "Harry..."
