It was obvious there was going to be another battle at Hogwarts, but knowing Harry and his friends had ally from the other two schools, this could go completely right, or gravely dangerous for those students who didn't train properly with their magic.

Harry was walking through the halls with Ron who looked at all of the photographs on the walls.
"Harry.. do you think this will be like the last battle if it came to this?" He asked and Harry stopped, looking back at his best friend. He nodded "He's not ready for this Ron. The last battle, I almost died along with our best mentors and friends. I'm going to take the fall and die sooner than he knows."
Ron shook his head "You can't die! That's not fair to anyone. You know this battle is going to kill more than yourself, we need to protect everyone and we finally have both schools coming in tonight to help us prepare."
Harry nodded and looked at the Grand Staircase as they walked toward the entry way when an owl swooped through and dropped a letter in his hands.
"What's this?" Harry asked and opened the parchment.

"I don't normally send owls since I have no real family but we need your help in Hogsmeade. Albus wanted to come talk to me about something when we were attacked. Come when you can..

-Crabbe

"Damn it!" Harry handed Ron the letter and summoned his invisibility cloak and walked into what was Snape's potion closet just in case.
"Get Hermione and Ginny, I have a feeling there's going to be a lot to deal with." Harry said and Ron nodded. Harry disperated and appeared next to Vincent as he was holding Albus who was covered in blood and in pain.
"Don't worry, It's not his blood." Vincent said and Harry smiled half heartedly, relieved and looked at Albus "tell me everything.."
Albus sat against the fountain walls and took deep breath.
"We were just hanging out, nothing was wrong until a student was sent out of Hogshead. I didn't know which student it was but it was a Hufflepuff."
Harry rolled his eyes and looked at Vincent who chuckled "those dorks have to be the investigators, eh Potter?"
Harry rolled his eyes again and looked ahead where the Hogshead bar was surrounded by Death Eaters. "Get Albus back to the school. We're going to need some back up."
"No way! I'm not going to leave you here!" Albus said, Harry putting his hand on his son's cheek.
"This is not your fight. They're after me and I'm going to lead them away from the school and here. For now, go be with your mother and I'll meet you back at the farm."
Albus shook his head but was grabbed by Vincent who disappeared back to the school.
Harry got up and smirked sending one of the of Unforgivable curses which could control at least
five of the death eaters.
Harry used "Revelio" to see if any student was their trap. He could see the Hufflepuff student tied up and gagged sitting on the bar top
"Damn it.. I'm going to need the biggest distraction eve-" he was stopped when a huge flash went past his face and fireworks went off, scaring some of the Death Eaters out of the area.
Harry looked back and Victor Krum had a smirk on his face "you get to have all the fun without me, Harry?" He laughed and sent off a few more
"Krum? Shouldn't you should be-"
"Traveling with the team? Should be but this is more important than a silly trophy. Tell me what you need." He nodded and looked back as his friends and teammates flew down on their brooms, casting spells to send the Death Eaters away.
A chaser walked out with the student and nodded "I'll take her to Hogwarts, you got it from here Boss?" Victor was asked and he nodded "go.. help the professors protect the school, Potter and I have unfinished business here."
The catcher nodded and disappeared with the student, Victor sighed and raised a brow at Harry
"Are you serious? We had this all good plan for the next challenge in the air and then we were attacked too. I had to check on Fleur just to be sure she and her kids were alright."
Harry stood up and nodded.
"The Ministry has been dealing with this for months Victor, this isn't new to us. You guys left after the Triwizard, and then all this happened before we even got back on the train to head back to London. The only thing we know is that somehow these Death Eaters are being controlled by some dark magic where we can't stop them.. I don't want to be a killer like Voldemort was but you know I'm willing to kill if anyone goes and attacks my family and that school of ours."
Victor nodded and signed looking toward the school "you're lucky I'm single and not busy." He chuckled "We head back to the school now and come up with a plan."
Harry nodded and grabbed Victor's arm, they both appeared in the Great Hall where Hermione was healing the student. She looked over and blushes seeing Victor biting her lip.
"Glad you could join us." She smiled but looked back at the student who flinched at the bandage but smiled at her "thank you Hermione. Are you going to talk to the Minister after we're done here?" She asked and Hermione nodded "I'll go if you can give me access to your common room. Yours is closer and I can use the Floo network in the fireplace." Hermione wasn't good at the Floo  by foot so she used the fireplace technique.
The student nodded and Hermione smiled "I'll meet you in front, five minutes." She walked over to Victor and kissed his cheek. "It's good to see you." She giggled and Victor blushed putting his hand on his cheek
"W... we should get a coffee sometime yes?" He asked and Hermione nodded "most definitely, I want to know what the famous Victor Krum has been up to." She smiled and joined the student in front of the common room.
Ron raised a brow and Victor shrugged "what? It's good having friends who I can connect with still." He winked and made Ron roll his eyes looking toward Harry.
"We heading there too, mate? Dad isn't doing well and knowing the Death Eaters, they have been very sneaky taking information from the offices." Ron asked and Harry sighed but nodded "I need to check on the boys. Send word to the headmaster and meet us at the farm." Ron nodded and went to talk to Molly who was in her office talking to a few of the professors already about a protection plan with magic.

It didn't take long for everyone to meet back at the farm with a few other students who were willing to help out.
Albus walked out holding his arm while Scorpio's walked food for the students along with potions.
"Harry!" Draco walked out with Mr Weasley in a wheel chair and looked at Molly who ran over and leaned down.
"Harry the minister has been captured.. or is being watched over basically. He told us to leave but we don't know what these Death Eaters are after.
Albus bit his lip putting his hand on the red crystal on his neck. "Merlin please help us.." Harry looked over and raised a brow "Albus.. they're not after that magic are they?" He asked and Albus shook his head "I've had visions again.. there's something stronger than what we found in the school. Vince and I went to look at the library and it's some kind of darker magic that Voldemort had. Something deadlier where even he couldn't kill you, right?"
Harry growled and shook his head "that's not possible.." he looked up at Hermione who bit her lip and nodded "there's a rumor, but we're not sure yet if it's real."
Harry shook his head "I'm not believing it. That stuff was years ago." He growled and slammed his hand into the table putting his face down to think for the moment.
Albus tilted his head looking at Hermione "what he talking about?" He asked and Hermione sighed shaking her head "your snake friend is one of Voldemort's snakes. There was a rumor when we were students here that after Neville sliced Nagini his snake in half, she was the final piece to his death.. your snake Pandora is the daughter of Nagini where if she finds a master, the darkness will arise again." She looked up at Albus "you are her master now and she follows you, as you possess Ancient magic."
Albus shook his head "I'm not a killer though, I won't go down that path."
Harry looked up at Albus "Dark magic can tempt your mind and heart to become the next Dark Lord.. that's why they're not hunting you. They're hunting me, knowing I can change things around and make this world bright again." He bit his lip and summoned the dark magic book that Albus had before, making Albus' eyes go wide
"You're crazy!" Albus said as Harry smirked
"You really think I'm going to have my son the king of snakes? The deadliest man alive? I know you want that power Albus. I can sense it. You want to be dark like him where things can happen and you will kill people on accident out of anger and revenge." Albus shook his head, grabbing his chest "how do you know this?"
Harry chuckled and opened a page in the book showing him the red crystal of Ancient Magic.
"Your mother and I do our research when it comes to ancient stones and people along with the school history. Now I was never the smartest when it came to potions or sciences, but I know my history like your uncle Fred who was amazing at not only creating fun stuff but he was smart when it came to books and learning everything so he could fight that last war till his last breath."
He sighed and flipped the book and showed Albus the red crystal.
"When one is get, the crystal glows red. When sad it glows blue and it helps you heal when we are distracted. Green is when you have peace in your heart and you know you can help any way you can.. anger does not save you, it grows worse every time you overthink or want revenge against anyone who has hurt you or those you care about.. I want you to realize that we don't have a true enemy, we don't even know who is our bigger threat. Draco is talking to Fenrir so we have him on our side."
Albus nodded and put his hand on the crystal taking a few deep breaths, closing his eyes letting the crystal read his heart. It was changing between red and  blue.
"Sadness and anger." Harry said and Albus nodded "We need to find out who it is.. Pandora has been talking to her snake friends who are basically spying on the Death Eaters. They don't who the true death can be, but I'm not the killer." He looked up at his father, his eyes gone bright Slytherin green.
"Albus?" Harry asked and walked up and Pandora hissed wrapping around Albus' neck hissing at him looking angry.
"He is the dark one but he is not a killer like your past, Harry Potter." She spoke to him, Albus petting her head "I won't kill anyone unless they deserve it. I may be young but I'm ready to fight anytime."
Harry turned his head and hissed for a second looking at Pandora "I am the target of these Death Eaters, you protect him."
Pandora nodded agreeing
