Harry Potter: Harry Potter And The Legacy Of Hogwarts Part 1 - In The Beginning
by Avatrek (avatrek@hotmail.com)
Harry Potter's fifth year of education was one of the most difficult times of his young life. Publicly slighted by both the Ministry of Magic and the influential magical media, Harry had been called a liar, attention-seeker and delinquent. After a very difficult fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Harry and the rest of the school was secretly subjected to the mind-altering Spellbook of Desires, Harry had to watch a fellow Triwizard Champion, Cedric Diggory, murdered by Peter Pettigrew, just before the return of Lord Voldemort. Harry had escaped the reborn Voldemort and his Death Eaters after a fantastic battle and learning the secrets behind the fabled Spellbook of Desires and the effects it had had on Hogwarts and all who dwelled inside the school. Harry and his friends had been using the book all year to play out their sexual fantasies with both their friends and enemies. It had therefore come as a shock to learn that the book's spells and potions were all fictitious and the books only real power was to affect the minds of everyone near it to make them believe they were living out their wildest fantasies. It was all used as a ruse to confuse and divert everyone's attention away from the actions of Wormtail and Voldemort during his slow return to power. Only when he had reached his full power again and had regained his valuable book, did Voldemort lift the book's powers from the school and wipe everyone's memory of the book and the fictitious events it had produced. Although Harry had seen the return of Lord Voldemort and Dumbledore had backed up his claim, both the Ministry of Magic and eventually the entire magical world had seen it as far easier to simply ignore the idea of Voldemort returning to power and instead accuse Harry and Dumbledore of being either attention grabbers or that they were simply crazy. This had led to a very difficult fifth year at Hogwarts for Harry; one which had seen him fight with his friends, question Dumbledore and battle against bad press all year. All of this eventually culminated in a battle at the Ministry of Magic and the death of Harry's godfather, Sirius Black. If the trauma of losing the only family Harry had left was not enough, Harry finally found out why Dumbledore had been avoiding him all year.
While Harry threw Dumbledore's prized possessions around his office without regard, Draco Malfoy was being summoned to Lord Voldemort, back at his parents' manor. After learning of his father's capture at the Ministry of Magic, Draco had fled the school and made it to Hogsmeade. Waiting for him there was his aunt Bellatrix and mother Narcissa Malfoy.
"Come now Narcissa... Draco will have the honour of serving the Dark Lord in the most important mission he will ever have." Bellatrix Lestrange told her sister as her nephew walked towards them.
"He's far too young... If Lucius were here, he'd never allow it!" She berated her sister, nearly in tears at learning that her only son would be undertaking a very dangerous mission that only he could perform.
"Is it true Mother...? Has father been captured?" Draco asked his mother as he finally made it to her, still breathing hard.
"Yes Draco... But that`s not why you`re being summoned to the Dark Lord." Bellatrix cut in before Narcissa could answer. "Come now... There`s no time to talk about it here... The Dark Lord awaits!" Narcissa and Bellatrix took hold of each of Draco's arms and helped him apparate back to the Malfoy estate, where an angry looking Lord Voldemort, paced back and forth in the manor's main dining room.
"Fools... Incompetent fools!" Voldemort spat as he paced the room throwing hexes at whoever tried to interrupt his brooding. "Ahhh... The guest of honour, Draco Malfoy." he said as Draco entered the room all by himself.
"My lord," Draco bowed respectfully in front of his new Master. Now that his father was incarcerated in the Wizard's prison of Azkaban, either he would take on his family's lifelong debt to the Dark Lord or he would pay the price of his father's misfortunes.
"Stand Draco... You have nothing to fear from me... You will be honoured beyond all others in the months to come." Voldemort told Draco as he bade him to sit down in the nearest chair.
"Me my lord?" Draco asked respectfully as he sat and got ready to listen to what Voldemort had to say.
"Yes... You are the only one that meets the age requirements that this mission necessitates," Voldemort continued, "The raid on the Ministry of Magic was for more than one simple purpose... Yes... You're father's mission was to steal a valuable tool that could have helped me finally kill that annoying brat, Harry Potter, but he also was used as a decoy while I stole something nearly as important. You are the only one of my faithful Death Eaters other than myself that will know of this and it must remain that way."
"Of course."
"Good... I have in my possession, one of only two special time-turner devices which if used correctly, can send the user back in time, as far as twenty-five years. I have chosen you, Draco Malfoy, to travel into the distant past of 1976, where you will find and steal four powerful magical objects."
"How? What? Where?" Draco asked, looking both surprised and confused.
"The time-turner will transport you back to 1976 Hogwarts, where you will enrol as a transfer student from Durmstrang. Because you were not yet born, the possibility of running into yourself during that school year is not a threat. If you were to see yourself that far into the past, it would surely kill you. The information about the magical objects I wish you to retrieve can be found in this envelope." Voldemort finally finished, placing a large yellow envelope into Malfoy's hands.
While Draco was receiving his mission from the Dark Lord, Harry was finally calming down in Dumbledore's office. With almost all of his valuable objects broken Dumbledore was finally able to bring a little reason to the situation.
"I am sorry Harry; for all that I have done or failed to do for you in the past, but now I must ask something of you that only you and your closest friends can know about. Voldemort's reasons for breaking into the Ministry of Magic were far more than just to steal a prophecy I'm afraid. He arrived shortly after you and your friends and proceeded to steal another valuable object which would have been destroyed had he not taken it moments before its several less powerful counterparts were destroyed."
"A time-turner?" Harry replied quickly, remembering how the rest of the time-turner's were destroyed. "But what's so special about this time-turner?"
"This particular time-turner is one of two very powerful devices which can allow the user to travel back into time, up to 25 years. All other time-turner's can only move the user back a few short hours and even that is dangerous. The sight of yourself can cause shock and in some cases psychosis. If someone were to see themselves 25 years older, it would cause immediate death and change history forever. Because of this danger, the two special time-turners were locked up and hidden."
"But why wouldn't the Ministry of Magic just destroy them and get rid of the threat?" Harry asked Dumbledore, now very intrigued.
"Oh Harry... I think the past year has given you quite a unique perspective of the Ministry and how it operates. It isn't that difficult to believe that they'd keep at least one of those time-turners, just in case they truly needed to change some past event."
"What do you mean one...? I thought you said there were two devices?" Harry replied, catching on a few seconds later as Dumbledore opened a drawer in his desk and pulled out a very valuable looking gold and silver stop watch. Instead of the numbers one to twelve on the watch however, there were 25 gold embroidered numbers etched on its face, as well as a number of letters that represented months.
"I have had this one in my possession ever since I created the two special time-turners, nearly twenty years ago. And now I must ask something of you that may be too much to ask. Voldemort has given the other time-turner device to Draco Malfoy. Mr. Malfoy has been sent on a special mission to steal four valuable objects from Hogwarts in 1976. He's been tasked to retrieve the four objects, return them back to the present and make sure not to change history in the process."
"How could you know all this?" Harry asked puzzle and unsure how Dumbledore could actually know what Voldemort was planning. "He could have someone killed... Like my parents... I need to use the other time-turner to stop him!" Harry said, now worried for both his parents survival and his own.
"Calm down Harry... I know that Draco Malfoy will travel back to 1976 and that you will follow him because I remember you, your friends and Draco being transferred to Hogwarts in 1976."
"And you're only bringing this up now?"
"Until this year, I wasn't certain it was actually you... The you of 1976 was a sixth year student, had a different name and seemed to avoid me at all costs. I assume I told you not to make any direct contact with me in the past in order to lessen the impact of your presence."
"What... This is getting way to confusing Professor... What are the objects I need to protect?" Harry replied, looking confused, before Dumbledore went through the specifics for nearly an hour straight. In THE END
