Trip Through time

Magical Anger

Fearfully, I ran my fingers through my hair. Pacing in front of the meeting point, I waited for Neville to come with the weed.

I could not sleep last night, and I haven't seen Ron or Hermoine since they went off to talk to Dumbledore. Usually they would be the two who would drag me to sleep whether I wanted to go or not.

I couldn't wait much longer.

"Harry, got it." Neville ran up to me, giving me the weed. I smiled at him, pushing myself off the wall and starting the walk to the black lake.

"So, this will let me breath underwater for an hour, right?"

Neville nodded a little shyly. "In theory."

"Theory?" Stopping, I starred in shock at Neville. Only theory?

"Well, there are some debates in the herbology sector between the effects of salt water compared to fresh water," Neville explained shyly.

"You're only telling me this now?!"

Neville looked down sheepishly. "I just wanted to help."

Shaking my head, I smiled softly. "Okay, that's better than Ron and Hermoine. I don't even know where they are. Oh, and whatever you do-" I grabbed onto Neville's arm, looking into his eyes- "do not tell Katy about this. She would kill you if she knew you sent me down there with less than the best. Though, she'll kill me first, or chase down Duri and demand he tells her what's going on. It's a fifty-fifty with her."

"Who is she? You keep telling us that she is your sister but we know you aren't biologically related, we would know if that was true a lot sooner, and you don't tell us anything else about her. Who is she?" Neville gave me a shy look, not wanting me to snap at him like I had been doing.

I've been avoiding any and all conversations that talk about who Katy was before she came here, it's easier that way. Don't get anything mixed up. I thought for a few seconds before opening my mouth to speak. "Katy, she is..."

"Don't lie to me. Just tell me who she is."

I met Neville's eyes for a bare second before shifting away from them. I sat down on the boat, ready to get to the centre. "Katy is a person I trust with my life. She has saved me so many times and I to her. We survive together, we live together and we are always running. Always running, as if we only can bring disasters to each other. We are either running or pretending as if we are not. We need each other, but it's never been like this before. We never interfere with each other, that's why we know he is there. Somewhere, control us. Using us as puppets."

"Who? Who do you believe is controlling you?"

"We don't have a name for him. But there are these names, all collide together throughout everything we have been through. Everywhere; anywhere we have been, but only when we were together. A list of names that should never exist out of one place but is in every place. Twain, Kuklaci, Duri and Hifumi. The names that are everywhere." I smiled fondly, I may not know who he is, but I like to believe he is helping us. Always taking us where we need to be.

"I know that name."

Everything froze, as I looked at him. "You can't."

"Hifumi. I know that name. It was in the book. My herbology book Mad eye gave me, I thought it was just the first owner, but it's definitely that name. And that's the book that had the gillyweed in it. Maybe this person is protecting you after all."

I couldn't say anything before the boat came to the dock and Neville got out, leaving me to my thoughts.

Something was wrong, if he has got involved, something is wrong. That book was given to Neville before Katy came. How long does each of our lives get planned before we arrive? How long ago did he decide this was the day, and why?

"Put that in your mouth." I jumped up when Moody grabbed my hand and forced me back into reality.

One problem at a time. I quickly swallow the weed, choking slightly from the awful slime.

Moody slapped my back a few times before pushing me into the water with the loud cannon blast.

I couldn't breath. My neck started to hurt, my hand started screaming as the skin started to change. Suddenly, it all faded away. My hands and feet were webbed and I had gills on my neck. Noticing Neville's panicked expression and Katy's murdous one, I did a flip for them before swimming down to the bottom.

Nothing really happened, I swam through some seaweed, saw some weird sea creatures who didn't do anything. It was oddly peaceful. That was until I found the treasures.

Tied to the bottom of the sea in a frozen state, they just floated there. Four different treasures, all as important as each other. These should never have been involved.

Rage swarmed through me unlike anything I had ever done before. Hundreds of years of knowledge, of the power, of learning flowed through me and the ropes snapped.

Water circled and the wind became harsh. The other champions from themselves being dragged up and thrown onto the deck. Next to each of them, a treasure landed, coughing and throwing up water. Cedric brought his girlfriend into a hug, Viktor helped Hermoine stand up and Fleur held her little sister tightly.

Ron fell to the floor as I looked over him, checking everything about him. He better be healthy or these people will truly learn why I've survived so long.

"Potter! What are you doing?!"

"What am I doing?! What are you doing?! At the start of this year you told us that we would fight alone, that we would be alone and yet you feel you have the right to pull people we care about into it without them getting a say. Did you even ask them or did you just tie them up and not think about it?!" I grabbed my wand out and pointed it at the minister, Katy was the first to jump in the way but most people were on high alert from my anger.

"Osu! Stop it! Stop it right now!" Katy met my eyes, glaring at me.

"Why?! He's been doing it again! Messing with our lives! And it started this year!"

"That doesn't mean it has to do with them. He has always played with our lives, that will never change, but it has nothing to do with them. Just calm down. You can't hurt them."

"Why? You said it yourself, the rules don't matter anymore. And they shouldn't have put them in danger. Maybe we'll find out, Katy. See how far I can actually go before-" slap. I stumbled back a little, Katy stood straight, glaring at me, her hand still in the air from slapping me.

"Shut up! Just shut up! Go back to your dorm, now!"

I gave her a final glare before turning into a phoenix and flying into the sky.

"Next time, professor, don't bring Ozu's friends into this. I might not be able to stop him next time
