Granddaughter of Voldemort Book 2

Chapter 10: Atlantia

"Today, I want to see you guys in a battle against monsters." I say. It was a few weekends after we had come back to Hogwarts. We had already had a few training sessions but I haven't had time to do a long training session where I could take them through an old battle that I did as a child. "I'm going to put you guys in an illusion made from my memory of a battle in the Titan War. The one that I think will be most beneficial is the one when I fought Hyperion."

"Whose Hyperion again?" Ron asked.

"The titan of light." I tell him, "This way, I can fight as well but I will most likely be occupied with Hyperion just like I will be with Tartarus." I stare at the wizards gathered in front me, "but I don't have to fight Hyperion or Tartarus alone. It would be better if all of us fight so if you think you are ready to fight a more powerful being, I would encourage you to join me in the fight against Hyperion in this practice run. However, not everyone can since the other monsters will overwhelm us if we let them push us so choose where you fight based on where you are needed instead of what's a bigger target and a bigger bragging right." I see nods from my fellow students. "Alright, any questions before I start the illusion?" I see this Ravenclaw boy step out of the crowd. I think he was a fifth year and was beginning to get on my nerves in both my potions class and these training sessions. He sort of questioned everything I said which I would be fine with since I wasn't that confident in my decisions and love a second opinion to contradict mine but I hate how he does it in a way that makes me sound like I was just an attention seeking teen. The Ravenclaw boy, David, typically would say what he thought was wrong, like my method of teaching the class how to do a certain potion, but then add a statement like, "...I mean why would we listen to you? You are a teen just wanting to be in the spotlight so why wouldn't you want to teach a potions class and be one of the youngest professors at Hogwarts..."

"Atlantia," David began a signature smirk on his face, "why do you have to be the one to fight Hyperion? I mean it's like you are always flaunting how much more powerful you are because of your parent being gods who by the way are dying from raising you from the dead."

I took a deep breath to keep my anger inside me before responding to him, "If you would like, I will allow you and your choice of group to fight Hyperion by yourselves. The others will be fighting the monsters. I will also join the fight with the monsters but I will not help in the fight against Hyperion if you are so confident in your abilities to fight." David smirked happily at that before saying he was going to fight Hyperion alone. I roll my eyes but allow him to as I shout at the other students to prep for the illusion. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Blaise, Draco, Millicent, and Pansy all make their way to me as everyone began prepping.

"Is he the jerk who keeps interrupting your class?" Blaise asks glaring at David who was beginning to boast that he would easily defeat Hyperion. If you didn't realize, that statement about some of them just fighting more well-known targets just for the bragging rights was aimed at David. I guess he wasn't listening.

"Yeah, but I am about to teach him a thing or two." I say as I summoned a spear and strapped it to my back. I didn't really need to do that but it felt normal and familiar to have a weapon that close to me so if I could, I liked to fight with it strapped there, "I'm not changing anything about the illusion so he can see that fighting Hyperion, Voldemort, Tartarus, any of those powerful beings are not easy. I struggle and I have these powers."

"At least three quarters of the members in this training session looked at David with disgust written on their face," Hermione comforted. "They know how hard it is to fight those beings." I nod before shouting to the others that the illusion was about to start. I closed my eyes and allowed the illusion to cover the room. When I opened my eyes again, I saw the familiar sight of Central Park but it was littered with monsters and there standing just beyond the small lake was Hyperion.

"He's all yours, David." I shout at him before throwing a knife at a cyclops. Everyone else immediately joined the battle as David turns toward Hyperion. He cockily strutted toward the titan very sure of himself in that moment. He raised his wand and said some of spell at Hyperion which hit him but it didn't do much. Hyperion then raised his hand and David went flying backwards.

I couldn't watch him after that because I needed to fight the monsters in front of me. I was easily destroying them since I have fought these monsters since I was five but I was trying to reign myself in so the other students could have a chance to practice fighting against them. I noticed some of the students had "injuries" which was something the illusion added. The illusion was almost like a virtual reality game where you could die in the game if you didn't do well but you were fine in real life. I wanted it to be as realistic as possible so that everyone could learn how to help their injured friends and still protect themselves.

We were getting pretty close to destroying all the monsters. I had tried to heal some of the injured but some were "dead." I decided to let the rest of the students finish off the rest of the monsters so I turned to see how David was doing and I realized he had died. I shook my head at David's cockiness before running toward the titan and fighting him like I did before. I encased him in green vines before taking the spear off my back and stabbing it into his chest. I pushed my powers into Hyperion and he exploded in a burst of light that radiated through the battlefield destroying the remaining monsters. With that, I ended the illusion and we returned to the Room of Requirements.

"I hope you guys understand better how some of the monsters fight but be aware that even with an illusion, you can never fully predict how the monsters fight." I say giving a last message to my class. I decided to just ignore David since I wasn't the kind of person to rub it in. "I hope you learned something from this experience and I am glad we have had a chance to do this before Tartarus invades. I don't know when he will come but it could be any day now. I am predicting the end of this school year but it could easily be sooner so be on alert and I will see you at our next meeting." With that, everyone disappeared but not before a few of my closer friends shot smirks at David as they left. Blaise helped me clean up the room before he took me out on the date he planned for us that evening.

I stood outside as Hagrid talked about the Thestral again. Since everyone had seen death last year, he decided to revisit the Thestral again so everyone could see what they looked like. I was so exhausted because last night, I had a disturbing vision about Tartarus but I couldn't pinpoint when it would happen. It was going to be from the battle of Tartarus but it didn't tell me anything that would tell me when he would attack. I was rubbing my head when I saw something appear on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. Turning my head, I saw a hellhound standing on the boundary of the school. It growled before running toward us.

Summoning a knife, I released it throwing it at the giant dog and it disappeared in an explosion of golden dust. It was then I noticed that more monsters were stalking toward us all around the castle. I could sense them approaching from the opposite side of the castle and I did the only thing I could do to prevent the monsters from invading. I pulled the spear off of my back and slammed it into the ground. An earthquake radiated from me toward all the monsters before I summoned a shield and it covered the school. A light burn came from underneath my skin and I knew I wouldn't be able to hold the shield for long if I wanted to be able to fight Tartarus. I turn to the Gryffindor and Slytherin seventh years who were standing there in class with me staring at the monster gathering at the edge of my shield.

"We need to alert the others." I say turning to them, "The battle is beginning sooner than we thought."

An: I am so glad I was able to get this chapter up. I almost thought I wouldn't be posting because I had really bad writer's block all week and it wasn't till last night that I had an idea break through. I fell asleep before I was able to finish it and I thought I wouldn't be able to finish the chapter since I had school but I did it! I hope you enjoy this chapter and thank you for all the reads and the votes. I really appreciate them.
