The others flanked her on each side, their robes blowing around them in the light wind. They seemed to keep away from her a bit, Geneve glanced to her left and right to see where her mother was. SHe wasn't there. Geneve stopped. "Where's my mother?" she said. She noticed the others looking at each other. Her father spoke from behind her. "She will meet us. Don't worry." he said, and put a hand on her shoulder. Geneve pulled away. "I want her here. I .... I don't trust you. I'm.... " Geneve felt a sudden rush of pain in her head. She grasped her ears and fell to her knees. "Ow! Please stop this!" she shrieked. Her father fell to his knees beside her, pulled out his wand and muttered an incantation. The pain stopped, and Geneve looked up into her fathers face. Her face was wet with tears. "You must never, ever show fear again, Geneve. It will not do. You do not have to be afraid. you have all the power you need to accomplish... everything." her father looked into her eyes, a wild look of admiration was in them. "I don't understand, what is happening to me?" Geneve choked through her tears. The pain from her fear was still lingering. "Geneve, be strong. Otherwise, the pain will come back. I cannot always stop it. I know you don't understand, but the power you have now... it will not tolerate fear. You must fight through it and use any other emotion you need.... please be brave. You will see...." he stood up, and took Geneve's hand, and they started walking again.

I'd like to thank Fawkes for helping me come up with the title. Chapter 36: The Truth When Albus woke up the sun was shining into the window next to his bed. He sat up and peered at the clock on the wall. It was two o'clock. Albus looked over at Rose's bed; she was still asleep. Madam Pomfrey came out from behind the curtains around one of the beds. She walked over to Albus once she noticed he was awake. "How are you, dear?" "I'm fine," Albus told her, while trying to peek at the other beds, to see how everyone else was. "Are you sure?" Madam Pomfrey asked, "Nothing hurts?" "No, I'm fine," Albus answered truthfully, "But what about everyone else? Where's my dad?" "They're all fine, too," Madam Pomfrey assured him, "They're asleep. And your dad left a few hours ago. He had to take care of some things at the Ministry. He said he'd be back later. Now, do you want something to eat?" "Sure," Albus said, suddenly realizing how hungry he was. Madam Pomfrey left the room for a few minutes and came back with a tray filled with sandwiches and pumpkin juice. She set it down on Albus's bedside table and Albus started eating. Rose and James woke up a few minutes later, and they joined Albus in his lunch. James immediately asked them what had happened last night. Albus and Rose explained the whole thing. "Blimey," James said quietly, once they had finished, "I always knew Washburn was evil." "Explains why he hates us so much," Albus replied, "We knew nothing about the Hallows, and he thought he'd be able to find out where they were by reading our minds." "Guess so," James agreed. "So, Dad said he'd tell us about the Hallows?" "Yeah, he did," Albus told him, "I guess he will when he gets back from the Ministry." John, Matt, and Amanda woke up an hour later, and Albus and Rose told them the rest of what had happened the previous night. They were all happy that Washburn, Jarett, and Quinton hadn't gotten any of the Hallows, but were worried that they had gotten away. They spent much of the afternoon discussing what would happen next. Albus was sure that, somehow, the rest of the school already knew what had happened the night before. They had no idea what Washburn, Quinton, and Jarett were after, but they knew about the duel that had taken place on the grounds. Madam Pomfrey spent a lot of time keeping curious students out of the Hospital Wing, and eventually she locked the door. Victoire and Amy were the first ones to visit Albus and the others in the Hospital Wing, followed by the rest of Albus's cousins. They all wanted to know what went on, and Albus told them most of the story. He left out the part about the Hallows, since none of Albus's cousins knew about them. Amanda, John, and Matt's parents showed up for a few hours each and were all relieved that their kids were ok. Once evening arrived, Madam Pomfrey made all of Albus's cousins and Amy leave, and she gave Albus and the others a large platter of food for their dinner. After they finished eating, Albus heard someone trying to get into the room. "Bloody hell, I think she locked it!" a voice shouted out. "Oh, Ron, honestly. Just knock," a female voice said. Albus heard a loud knock, and Madam Pomfrey came running out of her office. She flung the door open and Ron and Hermione came running in. "Rose!" Hermione shouted and descended upon her daughter. She wrapped Rose in a big hug. "Are you all right?" "Yes, Mum," Rose hugged Hermione back. Ron sat down on the bed and wrapped his arms around Rose as well. "Where's Harry?" Madam Pomfrey asked, "I thought he was coming with you?" "He was behind us," Ron glanced at the door. "I'm here," Harry appeared in the doorway and limped over to Albus's bed. He sank down on it and gave Albus a hug. "I told you not to walk on that leg yet," Madam Pomfrey scolded. "Didn't have much of a choice. I had to alert the Ministry. I've got Aurors looking for Washburn and both Willinsons right now," Harry explained. "Good," Madam Pomfrey handed Harry a goblet of potion, "Drink that." Harry took the potion and downed it in one mouthful. "Disgusting." "Dad?" Albus asked tentatively, "Are you going to tell us about the Hallows now?" Harry sighed, "I suppose." "You've got to let John, Matt, and Amanda listen to," Albus insisted. "I know, they've got to know what happened, too," Harry agreed, "We just need some place private." "How about the Room of Requirement?" Albus suggested. "You've found that already?" Harry grinned. "Well, Matt showed it to us," Albus explained. "Oh," Harry replied, "Well, that would be the perfect place." Harry stood up. "Poppy, I've got a bit of explaining to do to the kids." "Can't you do it here?" Madam Pomfrey asked, "It really would be best for them all to stay here a while longer." "I promise we'll all come back once I'm done," Harry said. "Really, Harry, they need rest!" Madam Pomfrey insisted. "I owe them an explanation, Poppy," Harry said quietly. "Oh, fine!" Madam Pomfrey threw her hands up in disgust, "But don't have them out too long." Harry grinned. Albus got up out of the bed. James, Rose, John, Matt, and Amanda all got up as well. They followed Harry, Ron, and Hermione to the door. "I'm getting too old for this," Madam Pomfrey muttered as they left. "You're not leaving, are you?" Matt asked nervously. Madam Pomfrey smiled, "Of course not, dear. Don't you worry." The group made their way slowly to the seventh floor. Once they reached the portrait of Barnabas the Barmy, Harry started pacing. After a few moments, a door appeared where it hadn't been previously. Harry opened it and everyone followed him inside. The room looked a lot like it did when Matt asked for it. The only noticeable difference was that this time there were more armchairs and another couch. Harry sat down on one of the couches. Albus and James sat on either side of him. Ron, Hermione, and Rose took the other couch, while John, Matt, and Amanda took the chairs. "Dad," Albus began, "We already know about the Hallows." "You do?" Harry asked. "Er, yeah, we know about the connection to Tale of the Three Brothers, and we know that the Deathly Hallows are the Elder Wand, Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak. We just don't know why you've kept it a secret." Harry sighed, "How long have you known?" "A few months now. Since April. Matt told us about them." "Really?" Harry looked at Matt, "You knew about them?" "Yeah, my dad told me," Matt answered, "But I wasn't sure if I believed they existed or not, until Albus told me about the Cloak." "Not many people think they're real," Harry replied, "I first heard the Tale of the Three Brothers when I was 17. It was the year that Ron, Hermione, and I were hunting Horcruxes. When Dumbledore was killed, he left each of us something in his will. You already know that he left Hermione the original copy of 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard', written completely in ancient runes. Ron got the Deluminator, and I got the first Snitch I ever caught. "Hermione decoded the runes and noticed a symbol in a drawing that went with the Tale of the Three Brothers." Harry pulled a piece of parchment and a quill out of his pocket. He drew a triangle, with a circle inside it, and a line connecting the top of the triangle to the bottom. "This was the symbol. We recognized it because at Bill and Fleur's wedding, Xenophilius Lovegood was wearing it on his robes. Viktor Krum approached him about it because this symbol is also Grindelwald's symbol." "Grindelwald, that evil wizard Dumbledore defeated?" Matt asked. "Yes," Harry continued, "But at one point, Dumbledore and Grindelwald were friends-" "What?!" Matt shouted. "They were," Harry said. Albus already knew this part of the story, but it must have relevance to the Hallows, if Harry was telling it again. "They were friends, who were obsessed with uniting the Hallows. That symbol is the symbol of the Hallows. The triangle is the Cloak, the circle, the Stone, and the line, the Elder Wand. Grindelwald and Dumbledore's friendship fell apart after Dumbledore's sister was killed. Eventually, Dumbledore had to confront Grindelwald and defeat him. Grindelwald had the Elder Wand, and when Dumbledore defeated him, the Wand changed its allegiance, and Dumbledore became the new master." "Dumbledore had the Elder Wand?" Albus asked. "Yes, he did," Harry said, "Now, after Hermione decoded the story, we went to see Xenophilius Lovegood, and he explained the Hallows to us. We were skeptical, but we knew that the Cloak existed. You may have already guessed this, but Voldemort found out about the Elder Wand and he wanted to get it, because he believed it would enable him to kill me. That is why he wanted someone to kill Dumbledore. However, before Snape killed Dumbledore, Draco Malfoy disarmed him. The Wand changed allegiance once again. You see, the Elder Wand doesn't change allegiance when a wizard kills the wizard it belongs to. That wizard just needs to be defeated. Defeat doesn't always equal death. Since Snape killed Dumbledore, Voldemort assumed that the wand had shifted its allegiance to Snape, but in actuality, it belonged to Draco. "When we got captured and taken to the Malfoy Manor, I disarmed Draco. I defeated him. Even though he did not have the Elder Wand in his possession at the time, it was still his wand. But when I disarmed him, it became mine. The Elder Wand had been buried with Dumbledore, but Voldemort stole it. Voldemort assumed that the wand had allegiance to Snape, so Voldemort used his snake to kill Snape. "After Snape died, I viewed his memories in the Pensieve, and found out that I was a Horcrux and I would have to die in order for Voldemort to die. As I was walking into the forest, I tried once again to open the Snitch that had failed to open earlier in the year. It opened, and inside was the Resurrection Stone. In the forest, Voldemort tried once again to kill me, but he only succeeded in killing the Horcrux inside me. When I came back, Voldemort and I had one final duel. He had the Elder Wand, but it's allegiance belonged to me. He tried to kill me with a wand that was mine. A wand will not work properly against its rightful owner. So, when we dueled, Voldemort's killing curse bounced off my disarming spell, and hit him." Albus stared at his dad, "But what about the fact that Voldemort used your blood to come back to life? Isn't that why you survived?" "That's part of it, Al," Harry told him. Albus didn't know what to say. He finally had the answers he had been looking for. This was why no one else knew about them. The Hallows did have to do with Voldemort's downfall, a big part. "Where's the Elder Wand now?" James asked, "Do you have it?" "No," Harry answered, "That wand is too much trouble. It's back with Dumbledore. And if I die a natural death, it will have no allegiance." "Oh," James replied, "Would've been cool, though, having an unbeatable wand." "And the Stone?" Albus asked, "Is it really somewhere in the forest?" "Yes," Harry answered, "And I have no idea where. The only Hallow I've got is the Invisibility Cloak." "But you did unite them, the Hallows?" Albus asked. "For a little while, yes," Harry said. "I was the Master of Death." "That's what Washburn and the Willinsons wanted to do, right?" "Yes, that was their plan," Harry answered. "But they did not succeed." "Do you think they'll try again?" Albus asked quietly. "Yes, Albus, they probably will," Harry replied, "But I'm hoping that they will be in Azkaban soon. There are Aurors looking for them right now." "I hope they're caught," Albus said. "Me, too," Harry agreed, "I'll do everything I can to make sure that they are." Albus sat quietly, thinking about everything his dad had said. Harry had united the Hallows, he had been the 'Master of Death'. Albus was relieved that he finally knew the whole story, but he still had more questions. Had his dad ever used the Resurrection Stone? How did it wind up in the forest? But Albus decided to ask the question that had been pulling at him since he first heard 'Hallows' mentioned months ago. "Dad, why didn't you tell us?" Harry sighed, "It was a mistake not telling you sooner. I want you to know that. I should have told you last summer, when I told you everything else. But at the same time, I didn't want you to tell anyone about it. I wanted to wait until you were older and more mature." "So you didn't trust me?" Albus asked. He hated it when people told him he wasn't old enough to do something, or know about something. "Not exactly. I didn't want you to be tempted to tell people about the Hallows. If word got out that there is an unbeatable wand out there, especially one that is on the Hogwarts grounds, the result could be bad. Look at what Washburn and the two Willinsons did. And they are just three people. Imagine if half the school was going after that wand? I'm not saying everyone would want to use the wand for evil, but if everyone was going after it we could have a disaster on our hands. The idea of power, whether one is going to use it for good or evil, does crazy things to people. And that is why I didn't tell you. I didn't want a lot of people to know about it. But that didn't work at all. Now, more people than just you and James and Rose know about it. "Which brings me to my next point," Harry said in a more serious tone, "None of you can tell anyone anything I have told you tonight. You can't tell anyone that the Hallows exist, and that they are all currently residing somewhere in or around Hogwarts. A lot of people know about my Cloak, but without knowledge of the Resurrection Stone or the Elder Wand, they won't think anything of it." "I can't even tell our cousins?" James asked. "No, I'm sorry, but you can't," Harry replied "I won't tell," Albus assured Harry. Rose, John, and Amanda all nodded. "Wish I could tell my dad," Matt said, "He'd love to hear about it." "Is he interested in the Hallows?" Harry asked. "Yeah, he was. He went all over the world researching them when he was younger. Never found out where they were. Gave up after he got married and my mum got pregnant, though. He still believes they exist," Matt replied. "Maybe I'll tell him, someday," Harry answered, "But for now, please don't tell him." "All right," Matt agreed. "Well, then, I think we ought to get back to the Hospital Wing," Harry stood up, "Madam Pomfrey will have my head if I keep you up much later." ****** Madam Pomfrey let Albus and the others leave the Hospital Wing two days later. Albus was quite happy about this, as he was getting bored with the Hospital Wing. Albus and his friends spent much of the days following talking or playing games in the common room or on the grounds. Shortly after they were released, O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s finished, and the common room returned to its usual noisy state. A few students asked Albus and his friends about what had happened with Washburn and the Willinsons, but Albus didn't tell them anything. The students' attention was soon turned towards the Quidditch final. Just as Albus and Harry had predicted a few months prior, it would be Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw.

"How did you find us?" Harry drew his wand and stared at Jarett. "Followed your son. Students aren't supposed to be out of their common rooms after hours." "I don't think it matters what he does now," Jarett replied icily. "Once we have the Hallows, we will have power you know nothing of." "So it's you," Harry said, "You've been after the Hallows. And you've been doing the Legilimency, Washburn?" "Yes, I have," Washburn confirmed. "Only your sons don't know anything about the Hallows, so it proved pointless. You, however, provided us with a great deal of information." "No, I haven't told them about the Hallows yet. But I suppose I'll have to after tonight," Harry said. "I don't think you'll have the chance, Potter," Jarett growled. "You've found out where the Hallows are, then?" Harry asked. Washburn nodded, "The Resurrection Stone is in the forest. I managed to break through your pathetic Occlumency. The Invisibility Cloak is in your hand. And you've got the Elder Wand, we already knew that." Harry held up his wand, "I'm afraid I don't." "What?!" Jarett shouted and looked at Harry's wand, "But you had it! That's how you defeated Voldemort!" "Maybe so," Harry began, "But I haven't got it now, do I?" "You've got it somewhere!" Jarett growled. "Enough talk! Give me the Cloak!" "Don't think so," Harry shoved the Cloak into his pocket and raised his wand higher. "We'll duel if you want, but if you come with me now, you'll have less time in Azkaban." "I don't care about Azkaban!" Jarett shouted. "Crucio!" "Protego!" Harry shouted at the same time. A shield formed in front of Harry, protecting him, Albus, and Albus's friends from Jarett's spell. Washburn and Quinton ran from behind Jarett, holding their wands out. Harry stepped towards Jarett and Jarett stepped closer to Harry. Albus watched them, his heart beating fast. Jarett sent more spells towards Harry, but Harry blocked each of them. Albus smiled a little as he saw how much better at dueling his dad was than Jarett. Jets of light flew out of both Harry and Jarett's wand, lighting up the night around them. Harry sent a spell towards Jarett and he flew back and landed on the ground. Jarett stumbled back to his feet and sent a stunning spell at Harry. "Just tell me where the wand is!" Jarett shouted, as he dodged Harry's curse. "No!" Harry shouted back and leaped out of the way of another stunner. The two wizards continued dueling, each one sending spells and curses towards the other. Albus stared at them. He had never seen dueling like this before. Neither wizard seemed to be slowing down. Harry was noticeably faster and dodged spells more easily than Jarett, but Jarett didn't appear to be giving up anytime soon. "What do we do?" Rose whispered to Albus. Albus turned away from the duel. "I dunno!" Albus heard footsteps behind him again and turned to see Quinton standing with his wand facing Albus. "So, we duel again, Potter," Quinton smirked. "Impedimenta!" Albus dodged the spell easily, but didn't know what to do next. He hadn't learned many dueling spells yet. He held his wand up higher and watched Quinton. "Petrificus Totalus!" Quinton shouted. Albus jumped to the side and dodged the new spell. "Ahh!" someone screamed behind Albus. He turned around and saw John, Rose, and Matt standing around Amanda, who was laying rigid on the ground. The spell meant for Albus had hit Amanda square in the chest. Quinton laughed. "One down, four to go!" "Watch out!" Albus shouted to his friends. They held up their wands and stood next to Albus. "Petrificus Totalus!" Quinton shouted again. Albus and his friends darted to one side and Quinton's spell hit a nearby bush. Albus regained his balance and turned to Quinton. He raised his wand and shouted, "Expelliarmus!" Quinton dodged the spell and smirked at Albus, "Think that'll work again? Petrificus Totalus!" Albus and his friends dodged the spell yet again. "Don't you know any other spells?" John laughed. "Shut it!" Quinton shouted, breathing heavily. Albus whispered to Rose, "We'll all disarm him at once. On the count of three. Tell them." Albus waited until Rose had passed the word on to John and Matt and began to count. "One..." "What are you doing?" Quinton asked nervously. "Two...Three!" Albus shouted. "Expelliarmus!" All four first years screamed the spell before Quinton realized what was going on. He was knocked off his feet and his wand flew out of his hand and sailed through the air, landing near Matt. Matt picked it up and stowed it in his robe. "Urgh," Quinton picked his head up off the ground. "Let me take it from here," Washburn stormed over to where Quinton was laying. "Pathetic..." Albus's heart started beating even faster. He had never seen Washburn duel before. It would surely be a whole lot harder to disarm him than it was to disarm Quinton. Albus had no desire whatsoever to start dueling with one of his teachers. "So you four, well five, if you count Tagger," Washburn began, "Decided to find out what I was doing. Thought that it was a good idea to meddle in my business?" "Er," Albus mumbled. "Don't deny it, Potter!" Washburn shouted. "You came here tonight! You spied on me months ago!" "If you're going to kill my dad, than it is my business!" Albus shouted. "You could see it that way, if you'd like. But if it's your business, and you get in the way, we'll kill you, too," Washburn growled at Albus. Albus's stomach churned with fear and he looked over to where Harry was dueling Jarett. Harry had just sent a spell at Jarett that had completely knocked him off his feet. Harry looked over to Albus while Jarett was trying to get up. "Don't do anything to my son, Washburn!" Harry shouted. "Protego!" He sent a shield charm in between where Albus and Washburn were standing. "You'll regret it!" "I don't think I will, Potter!" Washburn shouted back, aimed his wand at Harry, and sent a silent curse towards him. Harry easily dodged it. "Crucio!" Jarett had regained his balance and was pointing his wand at Harry. Harry turned back and ran out of the way of the unforgivable curse just in time. He returned to his duel with Jarett, sending more jets of light at him. "Are you Death Eaters?" John asked once Washburn returned his gaze to the group of first years. Washburn smirked at John. "You still haven't learned to shut your mouth, have you? No, we're not Death Eaters. Although Jarett's father was. He's in Azkaban now. Albus's bloody father captured him!" "So, what are you going to do? If you were planning on killing us, you would've done it by now," John replied. Washburn stepped closer to John, "Maybe I like to drag it out. But enough of that. Potter!" He looked at Albus and pointed his wand at Albus's chest. "I don't suppose you know if your father has any spare wands laying around? One that might be the Elder Wand?" "I dunno," Albus whispered, "I don't think so." "'Course not," Washburn growled, "And you probably wouldn't tell me if you did." "Don't think so," Albus said. "Now, I think you four would be a whole lot easier to deal with if you didn't have your wands," Washburn seethed. "Expelliarmus!" he pointed his wand at Matt. Harry's shield charm had worn off and disappeared moments before. Albus looked over to where Matt was. Matt collapsed to the ground when the spell hit his chest, and his wand flew through the air, landing next to Washburn. Albus darted over to where Matt was laying to see if he was ok. "Expelliarmus!" Albus shouted at Washburn after he realized that Matt was knocked out cold. "What did you do to him?!" Washburn deflected the spell and picked up Matt's wand. "I just disarmed him, that usually doesn't knock you out unless there are multiple people casting it. Always knew he was weak," Washburn sneared. "Shut it!" John shouted as he bent down to try and wake Matt up, "Why don't you ever leave him alone?!" "Ahh, looks like you'll be next," Washburn pointed his wand at John, "Expelliarmus!" John's wand sailed out of his hand and Washburn caught it. "Now for the Weasley girl. Expelliarmus!" Rose's wand left her hand and landed in between Washburn and Albus. Albus ran forward to pick up Rose's wand. "I don't think so, Potter," Washburn reached the wand first and picked it up. "You're next. Expelliarmus!" Albus felt his wand leave his hand and saw Washburn catch it. He glanced nervously at his friends. They weren't doing too well. No wands, and two of them were unconscious. Albus looked at Washburn, who had started pacing in a circle around them. "Defenseless students," he smirked, "I think you'll be much more willing to do what I say now. Time to go into the forest, we're going on a little scavenger hunt." "No," Albus told him, "We're not." "You're not in a position to negotiate, Potter. You'll help me find the Resurrection Stone," Washburn barked, "Now, follow me!" Washburn started to walk towards the forest, but Albus did not follow. "Let's go, Potter!" "We're not going," Rose said, crossing her arms across her chest. "You'll regret that," Washburn said icily. He walked back to where Albus, Rose, and John were standing. "Crucio!" he shouted at Rose. Rose screamed and jumped to the side, just missing the curse. Washburn started sending curses towards all three of them. Albus jumped behind a tree to avoid a jinx that wound up hitting the tree. He looked over to where Harry and Jarett were dueling. As far as Albus could tell, Harry was winning. Jarett appeared to be slowing down, but Albus noticed that his dad was limping a bit as he dodged Jarett's spells. "What are we going to do?" Rose asked anxiously. "I don't know!" Albus shouted back. He peeked his head out from behind the tree and saw John running towards them. Washburn pointed his wand at John's back and hit him with a Trip Jinx. John fell forward and he landed on the ground with a sickening crunch. "John!" Albus shouted and ran out from behind the tree. "Just you and the Weasley girl now, Potter," Washburn growled. "Sectumsempra!" he shouted at Rose. "No!" Albus shouted as the curse hit one of her arms. She sank down onto the ground, screaming in pain. Albus could see blood seeping out of her robes. "Stop it!" Albus shouted again. Albus glanced over to his dad again. Both of the wizards were slowing down. Willinson was definitely the worse off, he was leaning against a tree, trying to hold up his wand with a broken arm. "Dad! Help!" Harry turned away from his duel and came limping over when he heard Albus's shout. "Expelliarmus!" he shouted at Washburn, and all five wands the Charms teacher was holding sailed out of his hands. Washburn turned away from Rose and looked at Harry. "Don't go near my niece," Harry growled at Washburn. "Let's go," Washburn lifted Quinton onto his feet, "You all right?" "Fine," Quinton grunted. The two of them took one look at Harry and ran off into the night. Albus saw them disapparate just as they left the Hogwarts grounds. Albus glanced over to where Jarett had been moments before. He was gone. "Aren't you going to go after them, Dad?" "Can't," Harry lifted his robe and revealed a nasty cut on his leg, "Took all my strength to get over here and save you." Harry sank down onto the ground, breathing heavily. "Are you all right?" "Yeah, I'm fine," Albus sat down next to his dad and leaned up against him. "But I want to know the whole story about the Hallows." "I know, and I will tell you," Harry sighed, "After we get back to the castle." "Ok," Albus whispered. He looked over to where Rose had collapsed and saw her getting up. She walked slowly over to Albus and Harry and sank down on Harry's other side. "Uncle Harry? Can we go back to the castle now?" she asked quietly. Her voice was shaking. She was holding one of her hands down over her arm, stopping the bleeding that Washburn's curse had caused. "I think that would be a good idea," Harry replied. "Harry?" a new voice said from behind them. "What happened?" Albus, Harry, and Rose turned around. Neville was standing behind them. "Bit of a nasty duel," Harry answered, and went on to explain the entire evening. Neville shook his head, "Blimey, Washburn's always been a little cold, but I'd never have expected that. What was he after?" "I'll explain that later," Harry said, while trying to stand up, "But right now we've got to get back to the castle." "Right," Neville agreed, "Give me your hand." Harry extended his arm and Neville helped him up. Albus and Rose got up after him. Harry leaned on Neville and Neville helped him walk over to where John was laying. Neville conjured a stretcher and with a flick of his wand, John was laying upon it. He did the same with Matt and Amanda. "What happened to them?" Harry asked quietly. "John got hit by a trip jinx and hit his head on a rock, Amanda got a full-body-bind curse, and Matt just got hit by Expelliarmus," Albus explained. "That's nothing Madam Pomfrey can't fix, then," Harry replied. "Let's go." The group slowly made their way back to the castle. It took them quite a while. Albus was fine, except for a few cuts and being completely worn out. The bleeding on Rose's arm seemed to have slowed down, but it would need to be magically healed or else it would surely open up again. Harry was walking quite slowly, and Albus could tell by the way he winced every time they went up the stairs, that he was in a great deal of pain. Eventually, they made it up to the Hospital Wing. When they got into the ward, Madam Pomfrey was already bustling around, and when she saw them come in, she immediately descended upon them. "There you are, Harry!" the nurse shouted, "I've been trying to contact you all evening. James got into a nasty duel with a couple Slytherins and he's been unconscious ever since." She gestured to one of the beds at the far end of the room and looked back at Harry. She gazed upon the group and her mouth fell open. "What in the name of Merlin happened to you lot?" "Quinton Willinson's father, Jarett Willinson, tried to kill me," Harry said simply. "Had quite the duel with him down near the forest. Him, along with Quinton, plus Professor Washburn." Madam Pomfrey's eyes became large with shock. "Professor Washburn? And where are they now?" she asked quietly. "They took off, disapparated once they left the grounds," Harry told her, "I couldn't catch them with this nasty cut on my leg." "Well, come on, then," the nurse said, "Harry, you go in bed one, since it's closest. Albus, bed two, and Rose, bed three." Madam Pomfrey gestured to the beds and then approached the stretchers that Neville was holding up with his wand. "And let's see, Neville, take them to beds four, five, and seven, since James is in bed six." Neville nodded and directed the stretchers to the empty beds. Albus walked over to the second bed and lay down. He stared at the ceiling, thinking about what had happened. Washburn thought Harry had the Elder Wand, but Harry didn't. Where was it? Who had it? And why did Washburn think that Harry had it? At least Harry said that he would tell Albus everything. It was only a matter of time before Albus knew the whole story about the Hallows. Madam Pomfrey came bustling over to Albus's bed. "Here, drink this," she handed him a potion. "Dreamless sleep." Madam Pomfrey turned away from Albus and strode across the room to one of her cabinets. She rummaged around inside. "All the Potters in the Hospital Wing at once, it was bound to happen sooner or later..." she muttered. Albus gratefully took the potion, and a few minutes later, he fell into a restful sleep.

Posted: Friday 4 April 2008 01 41 51 am in topic:The Next Generation Suddenly, in the side of the house, a horrible scratching sound echoed out into the air. A single word etched in fire covered the entire wall. "Return" it said. The cousins stopped attacking, ran out of the way, and a moment later, disapparated. They reappeared in the house where Geneve had been taken. "What's the big idea, calling us back??" yelled the woman of the two cousins. "Ya! We were getting close! Her magic is so strong, it even penetrates protective spells! She will be stronger with it!" the man said frantically. "Enough!" shouted the woman who had previously posed as Geneve using Polyjuice potion. She had redressed into long, deep red robes, and her blonde hair was tied back in a plait and red ribbon. She ducked down to the floor and drew a circle with chalk. She placed 4 candles around the circle. "We must start now. The potion is ready with Valencia's magic. Geneve can battle her herself, and steal it when the time is right. You will need to tie her up, now. Bring her to the circle, it's time to start the transformation." the woman turned to Geneve's father, who paused only for a moment, before wrenching her up from the couch by her wrists and dragging her across the room. Geneve screamed.

"No not yet!" she groaned. Liam watched as Geneve's face started to bubble. He started to back away, horrified. Geneve covered her face, and in a moment she revealed it again; but it wasn't Geneve. It was a pale faced woman with blonde hair! The woman stood up, a good foot taller than Geneve would have been, the robes on her body hung like a small dress and the top was pulling apart from the width of her shoulders. She scowled at Liam, straightened up, and in a moment, she had disapparated, leaving him completely confused.

Another man in furs was laying on the ground, and then she saw Liam. She ran over to him, lifting his head. "Liam?" she said softly. No response. "Liam!" she said, and shook him. She slapped as his cheek, trying to revive him. Liam began to stir. His eyes opened and he looked up at her. Geneve paused for a moment, trying to tell if she could sense the Veela magic. It was hard for her, because she wasn't Geneve, she was a full grown witch hiding inside Geneve. She stared into Liam's face, waiting for him to speak. Even though Liam looked happy to see her, no Veela magic was eminating off him. [i]'It would seem he doesn't know how to control it yet'[/i], thought Geneve. She smiled at him, and helped him to stand up. Liam brushed off the snow, and looked out at the battle.

Linda sat up. Her clothes were covered in mud and grime. Eww. A door opened, and a hooded man walked in. Linda scrambled to her feet and took a defensive karate stance. But the man just thrust some clean clothes and a bundle of food into her arms. Then he walked out and shut the door, leaving Linda in darkness. How could she possibly move in this black? No sooner had she thought this when a soft blue light hit the walls. Linda looked down to find it was coming from a white stone on her necklace. Her mother had given it to her shortly before she disappeared. How was her mother connected to all this? It didn't make sense. Linda took a closer look at the clothes. They seemed to be robes of some sort. Linda slipped them on. They were warm and clean, much more comfortable than her muddy jeans. She leaned against the wall, wondewring what to do, when she fell through it. A secret passageway. Cool. Linda stepped through it and came out into a disgustingly slimey tunnel. Yeck. Surely whoever lived here could afford some sort of soap? The wall closed silently behind her. Linda walked forward. No point in staying in that room.

"What did you do that for?" she shouted, and turned around to go after him. But just as she did, the strange man who Liam had cursed with a total body bind was beginning to stir. He tried to get up, but when he moved something roled out from under his robes. Geneve watched as the object rolled into the light; It was a viale of dark liquid - blood! "He took it...." Geneve remembered Arthur rambling about his cut. It was this man who had attacked Arthur. Geneve felt terrified. This man had killed the headmaster, thrashed Arthur, and tried to drag her off earlier. She decided now was a good time to leave. "Are you coming??" she shrieked at Liam. Liam considered the man for a moment, then turned to follow Geneve out the door. When they reached the foot of the stairs, the front door was wide open, letting in skin prickling cold air. Genveve rushed through the door. Arthur was standing outside, and in front of him he could see the professor and the strange man. Something strange was happening.... Arthur was shouting at the two adults, but they were ignoring him. Then he tried to walk forward, and hit something so hard it caused him to fall back in the snow. Geneve ran over to help him. "Get off! Get away from me! " He shouted and swung a fist at Geneve which connected with her chin. She fell back, clutching her face. "Hey!" Liam stepped forward and Arthur kicked at him, knocking his feet out from under him so Liam fell flat on his back. Arthur stood up and ran around the back of the house. Liam was winded and Geneve sat up, rubbing her jaw. "Arthur! Arthur please wait!" she called. Liam had rolled onto his front, gasping for air.
