Here's my try at fan fiction Prolog of Death in Hogwarts

Author’s Notes: My first Fan fiction. Set Post Incubus Dreams and after Goblet of Fire. If you recognize it it’s not mine, I’m just playing with it. It is AU and Non HBP compliant. If you wonder why it’s set so early in the HP books: Here’s a hint of where I eventually want to go: Edward vs Umbridge. Though I may not get that far. Well see. Please R&R.


Death in Hogwarts

Prolog

Hogwarts Express, Between Hogsmead and King’s Cross.


“What’s that Harry?” Hermione asked, peaking over his shoulder, “It look’s like Flourish and Bolt’s Catalogue.”

“You knew the had a catalogue? Wait, never mind, stupid question.” Harry pushed up his glasses, “Just want to pick out some books to read while I’m stuck in hell, oops, I mean home. The Headmaster suggested it since Fudge is an idiot and doesn’t believe Voldemort’s back and Sirius is innocent.” Harry’s face hardened in disgust.

“Well you only have two more years and then you can go live with Sirius.” Hermione said.

“Yeah, Stupid Moldywarts.”

“Moldywarts? Bloody hell, that’s brilliant Harry!” Ron said as he walked back into the compartment. “They’ll bring the trolley around in an hour.”

“Really Ronald, why did you wait to the last minute to pack, you could have eaten with the rest of us.” Hermione rolled her eyes.

“Well I was still stuck in the hospital because of my leg wasn’t I?”

“And the last two days?”

“Um, I was studying?” Ron tried to look innocent.

“Right, Ron when have we ever not studied without Hermione telling us to and AFTER finals?” Harry said with a slightly raised eyebrow.

“Never? Oh, right. Okay, Okay, I procrastinated. But do they really have to wait so long to bring the food? Hey, who got the cage for my new owl?”

“It’s called Transfiguration Ron; remember that class we’ve had for the last 4 years? I used one of my old shirts that doesn’t fit me anymore, it was driving Hedwig nuts.”

“Thanks Hermione!” Ron beamed at her and his owl.

“Hermione, tell me what you think about these books I’m ordering.” Harry passed her his order form.

“Oh, Great Merlin!” Hermione exclaimed.

“What! What’s wrong, did I screw something up?!” Harry panicked.

“No, you’re ordering all academic books, nothing having to do with being a seeker! You’re finally growing up!”

“Um, actually, they just don’t have anything new out. I do have to do something during the summer.” Harry said suddenly turning grim, “I’m going to need all those DADA books after Ce—“ he looked away and looked out the window.

“It’s not your fault, Harry.” Ginny said quietly. “Tom’s really good at the whole evil thing. You didn’t know what would happen when you took the cup. If anything you need to blame Voldemort or Crouch. Don’t blame yourself.”

Harry looked at Ginny. It was almost like seeing her for the first time. He suddenly realized she really hadn’t spoken for days. And then he realized, she knew, like no one else did their age, just what Voldemort was like.

“I’m sorry Ginny. I really wasn’t thinking lately how this would affect you more than most people.” Harry said quietly, looking at her.

“It’s okay. If it doesn’t kill you, it makes you stronger right? Isn’t that the muggle saying? Just do me a favor, after you finish some of those books, send them to me?” Ginny said looking fierce. She would fight; she would not be the damsel in distress in the Chamber again.


Harry nodded equally as seriously. He knew somehow, no matter what, she would be there until the end.

”Better hand that list to me Hermione.” Neville said quietly, “I have my dad’s old Auror books, no reason Harry should order duplicates. They need a dusting off anyways and I might as well put them to good use. I send them as soon as I finish one of them to you guys.”

Harry looked deep in Neville’s eyes. There was a strength there that hadn’t been there before. Almost like he had woken up, and what was holding him back was gone now. Hermione and Ron looked on and nodded their agreement.

And the five looked at each other. Suddenly there was something that eased in Harry James Potter. The anger, the pain everything that the final task of the Triwizard tournament had put him through faded for a moment. What remained in him and his friends was the quiet strength that simply meant that they would do what ever they had to do to help each other get ready for the battle ahead.

“Alright then. Now who’s up for a game of Exploding Snap?” Harry said with a small smile that had been missing for days.

“I am Harry,” Hermione said, “But what’s this book ‘Getting to know you Bloodlines’”

“I may be the last of the Potters, but with how many pureblood families are mixed, I want to know who I’m related to. Maybe get us a few more allies. Now who wants to go first?”


Manhattan, New York


”Time to die asshole.”

“Who are you? What did I ever do to you?!?.” A man said bleeding and trying to crawl away backwards.

“Not me, all those innocent babies you’ve been going to and stealing all their magic. As for who I am, I’m Death, that’s all you need to know”

“Wait, WAIT, if you kill me all the power I’ve taken will return to them, it will kill most of them. Isn’t it better to let me live. You don’t want to kill all those innocents do you?”

“What about Death did you not get? Time to die now” the Ax came down, the sorcerer’s head rolled off away from his body suddenly the room was filled with light that went rushing out of the room, all but a large bit that rushed into Death. “Shit.” His veins felt like they were on fire, he felt overloaded, like he was dying when he heard sirens in the distance. “Bloody Hell.” He collapsed to the floor, he knew he had to get out of there but he just couldn’t anymore. He closed his eyes and thought about the only ones he cared about. And then thought ‘I just wish I could be with Anita so she could break it to the kids.’ Suddenly there was a loud crack, and Death was Gone.

St. Louis, Missouri


CRACK

Anita sat strait up, her gun materializing in her hand; she looked around for the source of the sound, pushing Micah and Nathaniel aside as they woke as well.

“Edward?”


A/N Okay, is it a good beginning? Should I continue?
