COLLIDING WITH THE SUN Cross the street from your storefront cemetery… hear me hailing from inside and realize… I am the conscience clear… in pain or ecstasy… oh my own voice … cannot save me now… standing in the sea… it's just… one more breath… and then… down I go… your mouth is open wide… the lover is inside… and all the tumults done… more to mine than fact face… name and monetary… be what you will… and then throw down your life… loose lips kiss you clean… quietly pour out like light…you're staring at the sun… you're standing in the sea… your mouth is open wide… you're trying hard to breathe… the water's at your neck…– TV on the Radio (Pieces of my Favorite Song ‘Staring_at_the_Sun’) PROLOGUE In the year 1982 a series of events that would destroy the very foundation of trust and power in the Wizarding world took place. The Boy-Who-Lived had disappeared, abandoned by his relatives after being brutally beaten. The boy’s body was never found. In that same year the Minister was imprisoned for being a death eater and Lucius Malfoy was granted the seat as minister. Albus Dumbledore nearly lost his seat as Hogwarts headmaster by vouching for a known death eater, who was released. Sirius Black seemed to have killed himself and the werewolf, Remus Lupin was executed by the ministry. The werewolves revolted. Werewolf attacks were on the rise. The vampire community withdrew from sight and Hogwarts was forced to change their curriculum and governing. The inquisition had begun. He who has come to Death, not once, but thrice has left behind not once, but thrice times the grim reaper. For the demon shall not let him pass, even if he chooses to seek death. The childe of the wandering mage, whose footsteps leaves spilt blood behind, springs from cursed grounds and spawns giving birth to many of its kind. And the wander blessed each with the gift no mortal should have. These children of sacrilegious union shall forever live with time and destiny. A young man entered the renowned Gay Knocturne Alley club ‘Grim Twilight’ and took his customary seat in the corner of the bar. The bartender was accustomed to seeing him there and so he only waved and asked one of the waiters to pass the young man a mug of Fire Whiskey. The young man was a real looker. He had soft, flawless skin of a cream ‘n coffee color. His hair was thick soft glossy light brown in color and it reached his waist. His almond shaped gold eyes glinted with turquoise specks and were framed by dark long eyelashes. His face was thin and angular with prominent cheekbones and lush blood red lips. He stands 5’8” and has a slender build. He had slim hips, long thin legs, a narrow thin torso and small firm muscles. His ears had innumerable piercings. Dressed in his usual garb of low ridding faded blue jeans and a baby black t-shirt he caught many people’s eyes. The young man watched the couples gyrate of the dance floor moving sensually and definitely putting on a show. He shot down several would-be partners, waiting for something. That something came in the form of an ancient Crone, who waddled up to him and hauled herself into a seat. “Crux, I still can’t fathom how you believe this to be an ideal meeting place.” The young man lifted an eyebrow as he wandlessly cast a silence ward spell. Sighing, the woman continued, “You were right the man is a death eater. He’s got that Weasley boy… what was it Perky, Pierre—“ “Percy.” Cruentus Crux supplied. “Anyways, he’s got this Percy Weasley wrapped around his finger. The red head has no idea the man is a death eater, thank the Lord, or Molly would be devastated.” “Figures, the act is overdone.” The crone leaned in, “You know, HE’S looking for you. Been asking around that man is. Got this fellow asking after you. Says he has business for you. Not hardly likely if you ask me. Business doesn’t employ threats. He comes to me and asks ‘I’m looking for this bloke calls himself Crux. I’ve got business for the man, but his address just slipped my mind.’ You know what I says is ‘Good day Sir, I hope the door meets your ass on the way out.’ I don’t trust that man’s employer as far as I can shove him.” The crone says slyly. “Good saint Albus Dumbledore is as dark as men come. Lining his pockets with favors. The man’s got ideas, nasty ideas of what he believe the world ought to be like. All he sees is the good and righteous he forgets us little commoners. Now I’d best be going Crux,” The crone says patting the boy’s hand, “You should get yourself a good shag. You’ve been needing one.” The crone said as she exited the club. The young man sighs and leans back in his chair pondering the turn of events. Dumbledore was on his tail now and probably had Snape looking for him. Crux dug around in his pocket and withdrew several sickles before casting them on the table and without so much as a flicker of motion he was gone leaving an empty seat. The young man reappears in a cavernous hall a true display of the gothic architectural period. The building is made of grey stones and ornate tall windows. The entrance way is formed to be a series of arches making blocks with four arches, there blocks are strung together making a clear was to a large Arch which houses a green metal spiral staircase the leads a story up. The entrance hall is lit by magic light globes that flicker on and off as someone approaches and leaves. The young man quickly takes the staircase to the second floor. He comes to a door made of polished cherry wood and has green and yellow stain glass embedded in it a plaque that reads ‘House of Rowan’ in black lettering Antiquate font. He opens the door and enters a long stone corridor sporadically decorated with portraits. Finally the corridor ends at two towering oak doors. With a dramatic flourish the man pulls the doors open and enters the lavishly decorated foyer. The room has a towering ceiling and the walls are murals of naturalistic design. The furniture (two couches, a loveseat, three sitting chairs and two coffee tables) is made of dark wood with red velvet upholstery. Upon the loveseat a half naked man sits. The man is lust incarnate with his glossy rich chocolate colored curly hair and amber eyes. He’s taller (6’4”) than Crux and far more muscular. His skin is alabaster and his full lips are a cotton candy pink in color. His muscular torso is bare, but his muscular legs are covered by a pair of black leather pants. A black panther sits by his feet. His chest is sweaty and his eyes dilated with a sexual hunger. As Crux enters the man smirks, “Hi love,” he whispers and glides over to Crux with supernatural grace. He laces his hands around Crux’s waist and pulls him to his chest. Nibbling on Crux’s ear gently with his sharp fangs he whispers, “I want my Julius. Change back to Julius, Crux.” Crux sighs and slowly his body transforms like that of a metamorphmagus. Now let me take a moment to explain something to you, Cruentus Crux’s real name is Julius Black. He also goes by the names of Harry Potter and Alec Noctis. On ‘Harry Potter’s’ sixth birthday after years of pain and suffering at the hands of his relatives, Vernon Dursley had taken it too far. The result? ‘Harry Potter’ died and Julius Black was born. By accident Harry had discovered Dumbledore’s ploys. Around his fifth birthday ‘Harry’ began to sense magic and its intentions. He discovered certain magical influences on him and his family. Julius realized that whom ever placed this magic upon them intend to come retrieve him eventually. Now Harry was a very intelligent child and knew that if he was ‘retrieved’ that it was likely the man or woman would place more magic on him. So he took the opportunity of Vernon’s mistake to free himself and disappear. He was raised in Knocturne alley by Ollivander. The man surprisingly enough refused any alliances with Dumbledore and took it upon himself to give Harry an unbiased education in magic, history and politics. He hid Harry away from those who searched for him when he disappeared. And he informed Harry of the truth of his parentage. When he was old enough to live independently Julius adopted the roles of Cruentus Crux, master spy and Alec Noctis, master assassin. Slowly with the help of his growing list of allies Julius was manipulating the war and both Voldemort and Dumbledore into destroying each other. Julius Black retained his coffee ‘n cream colored skin, his hair however was a silken glossy raven that fell to his shoulders. His almond shaped golden eyes speckled with turquoise turned a beautiful lilac. He has full rose petal lips and an angular heart shaped face with high cheekbones, a narrow small nose and long eyelashes a girl would kill for. He is a great deal shorter, standing only 5’3” and is slender and slightly effeminate with long thin legs, a narrow torso and a long slim neck. His fingers are long and thin and he has delicate wrists and ankles. His butt is a firm and round and he had a toned, but not muscular stomach. Julius turns his head and kisses the man’s lips with a ferocious yearning that makes the other man gasp. Growling the man flips Julius around and strips off Julius shirt so he can catch better access to Julius’s chest. The coffee ‘n cream skin on Julius’s chest is already marked with possessive love bites. Julius grabs the man’s shoulder and laces his legs around the other man’s torso pulling them together. Their erections rub together. Growling again the man thrusts Julius’s back into the wall and begins to slowly grind his erection into Julius’s. “Noah.” Julius moans. Noah smirks, “You like that Julius?” The man practically purrs. Julius only answers with another moan. [Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry] Sixteen year old Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy the unofficial leaders of the Chimera Harmony, a group of advanced students of Hogwarts belonging to the alliance of Alec Noctis, their leader. The unusual boy had won the hearts and loyalty of all ten students (Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, George Weasley, Fred Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom, Blaise Zabini, Wren Willows and Thrush Blakely). Alec was incredibly intelligent and insightful. His ideas and hopes were for the benefit of the Wizard, Witch and magical creatures Community. He took in political and social battles and reasoned them and giving possible solutions. He then proceeded to craft them to reach their own personal goals. Through sending information both highly classified and common knowledge as well as text books and other resources they began to study to achieve their goals. Sometimes Alec would appear to teach them personally. However, the majority of the time they studied alone Alec did not attend Hogwarts, yet he grew into unfathomable power. For Hermione’s goals to assist Muggle born witches and wizards he taught her strategies, magical politics, magical etiquette, various education formats, how to draft proposals, speech, magical debate and even ballroom dancing. He reasoned that each should have a specialty in classes and helped Hermione develop he transfiguration skills. Draco’s goal was to bring the education system to higher standards and a broader curriculum. Like Hermione he was taught strategy and politics, education formats, proposals, and magical debate. He was trained in transfiguration and he had been tested for pure blood talents. He had discovered he had traces of a recently developing magic dubbed ‘Will magic’ which Alec had created and cultivated. Alec began to one on one train him. Blaise Zabini’s goal was for a safe environment and so Alec trained him in defense and spell weaving. He taught his the dark arts and explained ways to create counters for them. He showed Blaise how to break down spells and reconstruct them or recreate them. He taught Blaise to pick up spells cast at him and in one attempt and perform them flawlessly without being taught step by step. He taught Blaise to read muscles and expressions. He assisted Blaise as Blaise delved into blood magic in order to heighten his physical capabilities. Thrush, Ginny, Luna and Neville wished to protect those they loved and so Alec taught them wards and defense taking Blaise’s lessons and adding more defensive measures along with wards. He created a miniature Hogwarts and explained to them how to bend, construct and break wards. He then apparated within Hogwarts to show an example. Wren Willows wanted to be a healer, so Alec gave her all kinds of information on different methods of healing from all over the world. He also arranged summer and future apprenticeships. Wren’s learning rate grew at impossible speeds. She was taught Occlumency and Ligilimency in order to mind heal, but also to teach the rest of the Chimera Harmony. Fred and George Weasley were hell bent on becoming inventors and so Alec immersed them in potions and charms as well as spell weaving. He showed them how to detect spells and examine them properly. He taught them to create an analysis of a spell and reconstruct it or alter it. He taught them advanced properties of potions only potions masters knew of. Slowly Fred and George began to make a name for themselves under assumed names of Fredrick Noctis and Godric Noctis. They proclaimed themselves part of Alec’s family. And so time went by and they became more and more powerful. [Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry – Headmaster’s office] Dumbledore nearly threw his lemon sherbets out the window, when Severus Snape reported that he had found nothing on the mysterious man named Crux. Dumbledore had become quite short with Severus and Severus didn’t like it one bit. The threats were becoming more frequently. Severus was getting nervous, Dumbledore and Voldemort were becoming quite volatile and it wouldn’t be long before something happened. And Snape needed to find a way to be prepared.
