(They belong to JK Rowling) The only characters that I do own; are the ones that you haven’t read in the books. *** Summary and Authors Note. In this first rewrite of the books, we’ll see Harry disappearing from his ‘home’ on his seventh birthday after when he learns that things aren’t as they seem. Full summary within. This is going to be a Dark/Powerful/Harry Story. Not for under 18’s. PLEASE read & Review. Summary; This is the first part of my Alternate Universe Harry Potter saga; you’ll be seeing a godlike/devil-like Harry and Voldemort. You’ll also see a new race; a two lagged Dragon race, known as Vercingetorixes. You’ll also see demons and other things. Harry is going to be Dark but not evil (I don’t think he will, but I’ll have to wait and see what happens), he is not gonna take any crap, or being manipulated, basically he’s going to do things HIS way. In this first re-write of the books, we’ll be seeing Harry disappearing from his ‘home’ on his seventh birthday; after when he learns that things aren’t as they seem. For one thing; he finds out at young age that he could do many things that meant to be impossible. And another was that when he told his favourite teacher about being mentally and psychologically bullied by his Uncle Vernon and cousin Dudley, the teacher mysteriously disappears, and everyone that seem to have no memory of it. There been many other things too, but you find out when you read the story. But the main thing that made Harry disappear from his ‘home’; is what happened on the night of his seventh birthday; what happened? You just have to read and find out. Shortly after Harry disappears from his ‘home’, he rescues a Roman girl about the same age of him, the name of Rose Drusilla, from being raped. After that, he had to avoid the Order of the Phoenix for a while, so they won’t send him back ‘home’. So as he avoids the people that tried to rape Rose, and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry learns more about magic by himself and one or two other unexpected people. Apart for magic, Harry learns Latin and a few other skills, that’ll help him, survive on the streets. This is just some of the things that happens to him, before he begins Hogwarts. Warning; This story is not for those who aren’t over the age of eighteen. As it as torture, rape and incest, if you don’t like this then you should be reading this story. Harry is going to be Independent, Dark, Inhuman and Powerful. Now all fans of Ron, Dumbledore and Snape, beware; I’m going to bashing Ron; at first I thought he was ok, but later on he is a git, when something good happens for Harry or puts him into the spot light; when Harry had nothing to do with it. Ron would get angry and jealous for no reason and Harry forgives him too easily. I’m making Snape evil, as in the last book, JK Rowling didn’t give a good enough reason (At least for me) for what Snape did. If he really loved Lily and wanted to protect her son; he would have helped Harry by teaching him Occlumency properly, instead of shout ‘clear your mind’, before attacking him. Snape should have told Harry how to clear his mind, all he did was make it easier for Voldemort to get into Harry’s mind. Now on to Dumbledore; I know that many people don’t like Manipulative/Dumbledore stories, but Dumbledore knew or expected about the Horcruxes before hand, other wise why go after the Slytherin Ring? So he must have known that Harry was a Horcrux, and that was why he could talk Parseltongue. This could be another reason for Dumbledore to train Harry, because after he or Harry destroyed the other Horcruxes and Voldemort killed Harry, Dumbledore could killed Voldemort himself and get the fame himself… but that was before Snape killed him. Authors Notes; This is an Alternate Universe of Harry Potter The Philosopher’s Stone, so some of the characters of this story, (like Harry) are going to be OOC, so if you don’t like the sound of this, then don’t read on. As I don’t want to hear people say that the characters are OOC or anything. Just a few thoughts about the ordinal story of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone; 1; Why didn’t James or Lily become their own Secret Keeper. It would have been easier and safer for them to do. Especially if they believed that there was a spy in the Order, it would have made more sense to make either James or Lily the Secret Keeper. 2; Where was Harry from the moment from when Hagrid got him from his home at Godric Hollow, ‘til he arrived at Privet Drive. There almost about a day missing… so where were they during that time, I don’t think it would take long to get Harry from Godric Hollow to Privet Drive, on a flaying bike. 3; Why was Harry left on the doorstep of Privet Drive, with a letter explaining what as happened on a cold November night. I’ve got a few problems with that. A; Is the fact that Dumbledore left Harry on the doorstep of Privet Drive on a cold November night. For one that time of the month, it is going to be cold; with only a blanket, Harry could become ill. We know that the Dursleys would most likely not take him to the Dr’s. So Harry could have easily dead. B; Now about the letter that was left with Harry, explaining what was going on; what was Dumbledore thinking? True Petunia is related, but apart for that he didn’t know anything about her and her husband. So it would have been better if he waited ‘til morning to Harry to the Dursleys. That way he could talk to them, and find out what they really like. He really should have done this after McGonagall voiced her concern about them. C; Then there the point in leaving Harry on the doorstep in the middle of the night alone, Harry could have been easily kidnap. 4; Harry was sent to Mrs. Figg when the Dursleys, went on holidays. From what we learnt from OotP, Mrs. Figg been watching Harry since the day he was left with the Dursleys. So she would have known about being mentally and psychologically bullied by his Uncle Vernon and cousin Dudley. So she would have told Dumbledore about this. So why didn’t Dumbledore do anything about this? And why make Harry go back to hell for? Dumbledore says that he cares for Harry, but every year he sends Harry back to hell. All because the blood-wards protects Harry from Death Eaters. But what about protecting him from his family? 5; Forget why Dumbledore didn’t do anything for a moment, what about the teachers of Harry’s. Wouldn’t they know something was up? Far enough, they go on what the Dursleys would tell them, but what about the bruises that Harry gets? Wouldn’t the PE teacher see these, and be worried about them? They wouldn’t be foolish enough to believe that Harry’s bruises were from accidents around the house. I thought the school would call in the Child Welfare, to make sure that Harry is safe. Another thing, the Dursleys made everyone believe that Harry is a bad person. But what about Dudley, he bullies everyone that tries and makes friends with Harry. Wouldn’t that show that Harry isn’t a bad person, but instead Dudley is, and that what the Dursleys say are lies? 6; Nothing against Hagrid, as I like him a lot; but why was he sent to get Harry and not a teacher (as he is the groundskeeper keeper of Hogwarts)… I bet that a Muggleborn or Muggle raised Wizard/Witch would have a teacher. A teacher would be a better explain about the Wizarding World, about Hogwarts House and about the lessons; they would also advice Harry what books he would need, as he was Muggle raised; as Hermione knew more about the Wizarding World then Harry. I like Hagrid, but he is biased against the Slytherins, because what the young Tom Riddle did to him. If it wasn’t for him, Ron and Draco Malfoy, Harry would be in Slytherin. And why didn’t Hagrid told Harry how to get onto platform nine and three-quarters? He should have known that Harry wouldn’t know how to get there. 7; Now why after about ten years or more, would Molly forget how to get onto platform nine and three-quarters? After doing it for so long, I wouldn’t be able to forget about it, now would you? Someone said that the reason she asked Ginny about platform nine and three-quarters, was to make her feel she is helping. I might have agree with that, but why didn’t they Floo to the platform if they could? And if they couldn’t, why did they talk loud enough about the platform, in a place full of Muggles? Molly could have whispered about it to her. 8; What is going on with Dumbledore and Snape? Why has Dumbledore kept Snape as the potion teacher for so long? I know that Snape was a spy for Dumbledore in the first war, and as a reward he got to teach potions and be the Head of the Slytherins. And I know Snape needs to favour the Slytherins and that, but he is mean and spiteful to the rest of the houses. So I wonder why he still got the job. I thought that the parents of the students would go to the Board of Governors and get Snape fired from Hogwarts, for the way he treated their children. 9; Next is about Professor Quirrell. Dumbledore meant to be a wise and powerful wizard, and a suspected Legilimens. So how was it that Dumbledore didn’t know about Voldemort being in the back of Professor Quirrell’s head? 10; The Philosopher’s Stone and the Mirror of Erised; first the Mirror of Erised, why on earth did he leave the Mirror in a class room unless he wanted it to be found. If he didn’t want it to be found, then he should be sent to the why it would be at the end of the book, in the first place. Now for the Philosopher’s Stone, why on earth have it at Hogwarts, I know it meant to be the next safest place after Gringotts, but for gods-sake Hogwarts has got children living there. Voldemort could have hurt some of the students before going after the stone. Also, why on earth would leave Flamel it at Gringotts in the first place. Nobody knew where he lived, or even that he was alive; so why leave it in Gringotts? When he would need it to make Elixir of Life? As for the protections around the stone, apart for the Troll, the potions and the Mirror of Erised, the other protections could have been bypassed by a first year, like Harry, Ron and Hermione did. It was like Dumbledore wanted to have the stone stolen. 11; Why did Dumbledore let Hagrid help to guard the Philosopher’s Stone, I won’t deny that he is loyal and trustworthy, but he isn’t someone that can keep secrets as we see through the book. It is easy to find out any info that he knows of, by buying him beer or wait for him to slip whilst he is talking. 12; Now why did Harry, Hermione, Neville and Malfoy had a detention in the Forbidden Forest, hunting for something that was killing the unicorns. For what it is said in the book, only someone powerful in the Dark Arts could kill a unicorn. So why send four first years in the Forest with Hagrid. What could first years do against someone that powerful? 13; My last thought for now about Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone book, is why did Dumbledore hire Filch when he can’t use magic, as he is a Squib. And with a place like Hogwarts, you would need magic to clean it… so why is Filch there for? So anyway, now that I give you the summary and my thought about the first book, I think its time to start with the story. I hope you like it, please read and review.

After this, I won’t be repeating myself about not owning Harry Potter… as any fool knows we writers don’t own Harry Potter’s world. Authors Note… I want to give a special thanks to Fey Falyyn for help with naming the Vercingetorixes Dimension; Drachenberge Diguerradraghi. From what Fey Falyyn tells me, Drachenberge means in German - Dragon Mountains. And Diguerradraghi means in Italian - of war dragons. And that Tierraguerra in Spanish means war land and Didraghi in Italian means of dragons. And Ryuyama means in Japanese Dragon Mountain (Fey Falyyn can be found at http:// www.siye.co.uk/siye/viewuser.php?uid=5484) *** Prologue The History of the Vercingetorixes - Part 1 (The Ancient Ones) The Vercingetorixes were a powerful race of magical warriors able to turn themselves from their human form into winged dragon-like creatures at will. The dragon-like creatures had the wings, tails and heads, but they had the bodies were like humans, but they were covered in scales, which can withstand most spells. In this form, they gained some of the skills of a true dragon: the strength, the speed and the ability to fly. However, one thing they could not do in this form was speak; were they to try it would come out as a mere growl. Therefore, they communicated by thoughts. The Vercingetorixes were not from Earth; they came from a dimension known Drachenberge Diguerradraghi. Their world consisted of many small islands, most of which were volcanic in origin and, therefore, mountainous. On some of these islands lived dragons. In addition, in this dimension, they had Gods known as the Ancient Ones, which took the form of powerful dragons as their natural state, but they were able to turn themselves into humans whenever they needed to blend in. The Vercingetorixes had not always been able to transform; in the distant past, they were very much like humans, but they were a powerful race with the ability to do wandless magic. When they needed more power then wandless magic could handle, they used staffs to help them. The change occurred ten thousand years ago during a rebellion against their powerful despotic King - King Ares, who allied himself with an Ancient One known as Goreflame. Most of the Vercingetorixes wanted freedom from King Ares’ evil reign, but there were those that still worshiped and supported him. One such warrior was Sauron, described in most accounts as tall and handsome with unruly black hair and beautiful emerald green eyes. He cried out against the desecration of the temple of the Ancient Ones, destroyed by Goreflame to break the hope of the rebels that fought against him and King Ares. He prayed to whichever Ancient One might hear him for help in defeating Goreflame and King Ares. Over the next two years, the battle for freedom raged on - Sauron taking daily trips to pray in the ruined temple of the Ancient Ones, yet receiving no answer to his prayers. However, near the end of his third year of praying for help, his prayers were finally answered. Sauron and his two sisters, Alaun and Iliv, (the three were triplets and looked much alike, but the sisters had beautiful amber hair) were at the ruined temple when another powerful dragon God known as Azul, granted Sauron the help that he sought by transforming him and his sisters into something that one could only dream of - an Ancient One. This gave them immortality and powers that equalled that of Goreflame. After the transformation, they looked like true dragons. Sauron was light brown in colour with fiery red eyes, while both of his sisters were a darker brown with emerald green eyes. After Azul explained to them that they could change back into their original forms, he told them about a skill that they had whilst they were in their dragon form. He explained that they could combine into one gigantic creature: a three-headed dragon. In this new form, they would have almost unlimited power and could do many fantastic things. Sauron had witnessed Goreflame’s wrath and cunning first-hand and feared that he and his sisters were too inexperienced to defeat Goreflame, even though they now had these new powers. They would need more a lot than power to overcome their enemy, and he told Azul this, but Azul replied that there might be ways to weaken Goreflame, although they would have to find those ways themselves. Sauron had the boldness to reply, “How might we find such a way?” Azul answered contemptuously, “Seek such knowledge in the Lost Libraries of the Ancients.” Then he vanished. *** It was a short while before it dawned on Sauron and his sisters just what had happened to them. Here they were, in front of a temple of the Ancient Ones … and now they were Ancient Ones themselves, immortals with great power. Nevertheless, they did not know how to weaken Goreflame, even though they had been looking for ways as long as they could remember. Azul had given them a clue: the Lost Libraries of the Ancients. Sauron seemed to remember a myth about the Lost Libraries of the Ancients, which each library kept - books that the Ancient Ones had written. However, exactly where they were located, none of them knew, so they decided that they would back down in the fight with Goreflame and King Ares and go in search for them. It took several years of travelling, questioning various people and visiting the Libraries before they discovered something that would help them defeat Goreflame. However, at some point, Goreflame found out what they were doing, and upon visiting subsequent Libraries, they found them destroyed by Goreflame’s followers. A few times when they arrived at a Lost Library, they found Goreflame’s followers already there, destroying it. However, to conceal their secret – that they had been transformed into Ancient Ones – they fought off the followers in their dragon-like form. Goreflame guessed what Azul had done - turning three rebels into Dragon Warriors - so he did the same with all his followers. Luckily, as Sauron and his sisters always travelled as humans, Goreflame did not realise they were the three he was looking for. Unfortunately, this meant Sauron and his sisters had less time to look for the Lost Libraries, as they needed to defend the other islands from Goreflame’s Dragon Warriors. Therefore, it was by pure chance that they happened upon a Lost Library that contained scrolls describing how the Ancient Ones created Dragon Warriors in past times. It did not take long for Sauron to realise that, as Ancient Ones, he and his sisters could also turn their people into Dragon Warriors. They decided that they would turn every last Vercingetorix into a Dragon Warrior. That way they stood a much greater chance of defending themselves against Goreflame’s warriors. They knew that it would take time and a lot of power to do the required ritual, and they would be weakened as a result of it, but the outcome of the ritual would be worth it, as end of the war against Goreflame would be nearer then ever before. They were cautioned about new Dark Lords that may appear in the future due to the ritual being performed, but they decided it was worth the risk. It took Sauron and his sisters three days to turn all the remaining Vercingetorixes into Dragon Warriors, but when they did, they discovered that their dragon warrior forms were not alike. There were many types of Dragon Warriors, but the two most powerful types of Dragon Warriors were the Hungarian Horntails (black scales, bronze horns and a spiked tail) and Norwegian Ridgebacks (black scales, bronze horns, black ridges on its back, and venomous fangs). It cost them more power than they had anticipated. However, it was worth their temporary weakness, as every last Vercingetorix was now on an equal footing with Goreflame’s servants. As Sauron and his sisters had expected, more people joined the rebellion. It took three months before their strength and power was restored, and since no one saw or heard of them after the ritual, the Resistance and their friends thought them dead. Over the next three years, Sauron and his sisters searched every island for clues to the whereabouts of the Lost Libraries of the Ancients. Out of sixteen Libraries that they found, only three remained intact from either looters or Goreflame’s followers. Although they found lots of interesting information in those three libraries, they did not find anything to help them weaken Goreflame. However, after another six months of searching, they heard about another Library; deep in a forest on their home island. When they arrived there however, they found Goreflame’s servants entering the library. Goreflame’s servants, not expecting to be disturbed, were easily defeated. As Sauron and his sisters looked around the library, Iliv found a plaque that showed the library belonged to Azul himself. They looked through the scrolls, books and tablets, fascinated by what they read. Iliv found a tablet that described some things called Dragon Stones: powerful magical objects, that, when worn, would give the wearer a number of abilities and skills, depending on the Stone’s creator. A creator of a Dragon Stone would be able to capture another person’s essence within it, so that another person would be able to use the same abilities and skills that the Stone held. However, in doing this, the person would be weakened for weeks. Iliv thought this could work to weaken Goreflame long enough for them to defeat him, so she read anything she could find connected to the subject of the Dragon Stones. Whilst Iliv was researching the Stones, Alaun managed to find half-destroyed scrolls, books, and tablets, a few of which briefly mentioned weakening a person or an Ancient One. However, she was not able to find any full texts. Meanwhile, Sauron came across a scroll about a material that when forged into a weapon, could destroy anything, even Ancient Ones. Unable to find anything else that could weaken Goreflame, so they decided to use the Dragon Stones as they had already endured the war for too long and their race was in danger of extinction. The plan was simple. Sauron would make the Dragon Stone as he was the best at magical artisanship, and when Goreflame would show himself, Sauron would cast the spell that would capture Goreflame’s essence within the Stone. Then they would fight Goreflame, and attempt to defeat him. The biggest problem would be keeping Goreflame from escaping while Sauron was working to trap Goreflame’s essence. It took Sauron a week to make the Dragon Stone, but that was the easy part. The next task was to return to the Resistance and explain why they made everyone believe that they were dead, and relay to them their plans on how to defeat Goreflame. When they returned to their homeland in the Mountains, Tierraguerra Didraghi, no one recognised them because of their transformation. When they explained, no one would believe they were whom they claimed. For the next few days, the Resistance kept them under armed guard; the leaders of the Resistance believed them to be spies of Goreflame impersonating Sauron and his sisters. After a few days of questioning, Serph, the head of the Resistance and an old friend of the triplets, started to believe their story as not once had they tried to escape and he could sense that they could easily do so. Serph did not know at the time just how right he was. After much deliberation, Serph surmised that they were telling the truth. He relayed this to the Resistance who eventually chose to believe him. Sauron decided not to reveal to the Serph and the Resistance about their transformations into Ancient Ones, as that information passed into the wrong hands would have been catastrophic. He decided that the less people who knew, the better. Sauron explained to Serph about their search for the Lost Libraries of the Ancients, and their plan to defeat Goreflame. Serph was a little sceptical at this - even if they succeeded in weakening Goreflame, how could they defeat him? Sauron explained that he had heard tell of a certain few Ancient Ones who were willing to help them in their plight. Serph laughed, and said that why should any Ancient Ones choose to help them now, as they had never done so in the past. However, Sauron was able to persuade Serph to trust him, which he did, albeit a little unwillingly. *** The final battle against Goreflame and his followers took place about two months after Sauron and his sisters rejoined the Resistance; it took quite a time to work out a way to get Goreflame and his followers somewhere the spell could be cast with minimal loss of innocent life. Sauron eventually decided to have someone leak information to Goreflame about a set of scrolls in a deserted village. He knew this would be sufficient bait as Goreflame was keen to destroy any scrolls containing information that could lead to his demise. Initially, only Goreflame’s servants showed up to destroy the scrolls. The Resistance set to destroying them as quickly as possible, but they put up quite a fight, and after a few days of constant battles, it looked as though the Resistance may lose with still no sign of Goreflame. Sauron and his sisters decided that the only way they could lure Goreflame out was to have Alaun vanish from the battle and reappear in her Ancient One form. The presence of an Ancient One at the battle was sure to draw Goreflame to them. Meanwhile, Sauron lay in wait to cast the spell. With this strong new ally, the Resistance fought back vigorously, and Serph was shocked to see that Sauron’s prediction had been correct. Sure enough, with this new ally fighting with the Resistance, Goreflame appeared, and started brutally attacking Alaun. She managed to hold her own for an impressive time; but after a while, she began to weaken, and it looked like Goreflame was gaining the upper hand. For fear of losing her sister, Iliv changed form, right in front of everyone; her emotions making her lose all rational thought. The members of the Resistance could not believe their eyes, but none was more shocked than Goreflame himself. Therefore, as Sauron’s sisters fought Goreflame, and the Resistance fought Goreflame’s followers, Serph and a small band of his lieutenants protected Sauron as he cast the spell. Sauron was able to sense immediately that Goreflame was weakened by the spell. Deciding no time was better than the present, he transformed into his Ancient One form right in front of Serph and his lieutenants. Serph did nothing but allow a small accepting smile to grace his lips as he finally understood what Sauron meant. Surprisingly, even through weakened by Sauron’s spell, Goreflame was much stronger than anyone had expected. After a few hours of fighting, the trio realised that they could not kill Goreflame separately. The only thing left for them to do was to assume their combined form. When Sauron and his sisters combined, everyone was shocked at what they saw. The struggle between Goreflame and a three-headed dragon was quite a sight to see. The next hour and a half was like nothing seen before in the war against Goreflame, and there were terrible losses on both sides. Nevertheless, Goreflame and his followers still seemed to have the upper hand in the battle. Sauron, his sisters and Serph had suspected for a long time that Goreflame’s followers were drawing their power from Goreflame himself. With no sign of the battle ending anytime soon, the remaining members of the Resistance began to doubt if any of them would make it out alive. Just as they were on the point of surrendering, they saw something that made both sides cease fighting to watch. Beams of red light emitted from both the three-headed dragon and Goreflame himself, directed at their opponent’s chests. These beams evidently contain very strong magics, as upon impact, the recipient collapsed to the ground, stirring up massive clouds of dust around them. When it settled, everyone saw that finally, Goreflame was dead; Alaun and Iliv had reverted to their human forms, and both lay unconscious where they had fallen. But what of Sauron? He was nowhere to be seen. Seeing they had been beaten and fearing capture by the victors, the remaining survivors of Goreflame’s followers left the scene as quickly as they could. Two months after Goreflame’s defeat, things started to quieten down for the first time since the war first started hundreds of years ago. With the demise of Goreflame and the newfound confidence that they had three Ancient Ones fighting on their side, the Resistance were finally able to defeat King Ares. Alaun and Iliv remained unconscious after their fight with Goreflame, and there was still no sign of Sauron. Many thought that he was dead, but some of the Resistance thought that he had gone into hiding again. Serph had starting to worry, as he knew how important Sauron’s sisters were to Sauron. He knew that Sauron would inform his sisters where he was if he were able. The captured followers of Goreflame remained heavily guarded, pending the awakening of the two sisters. Serph hoped that, as Ancient Ones, they would be able to remove the powers of the prisoners. When this was done, they planned to go on a search for Sauron. Alaun and Iliv were able to remove the powers from Goreflame’s followers with little trouble, and released them, now completely harmless. Along with Serph and five of his best lieutenants, Alaun and Iliv recommenced the searching of the Libraries again. They had the inclination that Sauron may have returned there to research ways to protect their world from another such attack. However, he was nowhere to be found in any of the remaining Libraries, so they decided that their next best bet would be to search the Lost Ancient Cities for any sign of him. One night whilst they were sleeping, Serph disappeared and nobody could figure out what had happened to him. There was no sign of a struggle, and nobody had heard anything during the night, so they could only surmise that he had gone of his own accord. The remaining Resistance members were at a loss as to what they should do. They wanted to continue their search in the hope that they might find Serph as well as Sauron, but they also needed to go back to the Resistance Headquarters to quell the chaos that would follow when people found out about the disappearance of Serph and also to choose a new leader. Alaun and Iliv spent another six months searching for the missing men to no avail. They decided to return to the Headquarters. Upon their return and the explanations of what had happened, chaos ensued, just as they had expected. Many questions were asked: Why did they stop the search for Serph? How could Serph disappear under the very noses of two Ancient Ones and five of his most trusted lieutenants? Who should be their new leader? After three weeks, the Resistance were still unable to sort anything out, and so the sisters decided to take leadership upon themselves. The people who were most likely to become the next leaders probably would not continue the search for the missing men and would dissolve the Resistance until the next time they were needed. In a way, Alaun and Iliv agreed with them, but they knew the Resistance had to become something better, much stronger then before. The sisters sent three groups of five people to look for Sauron and Serph whilst they remained at Headquarters to sort out the Resistance. The sisters hoped that Sauron and Serph were somewhere safe on an island that they had missed in their searches. It took Alaun and Iliv several years to get the Resistance - they decided to rename it the Order of the Phoenix - under control, but their hard efforts were rewarded, as it became much larger and much stronger. However, even after three years of searching, there was still no sign of Sauron and Serph. Many thought that they were dead, but the sisters continued to believe otherwise; until they found their bodies, they would keep on sending people looking for them. Some years passed; the Order was getting stronger, but so were their enemies: the remainder of Goreflame's followers, who now called themselves the Bloodfire Cult. Sometimes the Resistance would go to investigate the trouble they were causing only to find out from the villagers that it had already been sorted out by an unknown group of six people. When Alaun and Iliv first heard about it, they were amazed; two of the six rarely fought, but the remaining four fared incredibly well. The fifth joined when the fight got too much for the four to handle and the sixth only if Generals from the Cult were involved. The four were each using one of the elements: earth, air, fire and water - a technique lost centuries ago. The descriptions of the two sounded remarkably like Sauron and Serph. The Resistance did not find out who the six fighters were until a year later. When Alaun, Iliv and ten members of the Order were on a routine patrol of the nearby villages, they stumbled upon a fight involving the Bloodfire Cult. As the members of the Order approached, they saw that it was the mysterious six fighting against them. The Order joined in without a second thought, and with their increase in numbers, were easily able to defeat the Cult. In all the chaos and the fighting, the Order had completely forgotten about discovering the identities of these mysterious six fighters. As she lay on the ground, exhausted and confused from the battle, Alaun remembered her quest to find her brother and the man who had helped them so much in their defeat of Goreflame all those years ago. Wearily, she stood up, and made her way over to where the six lay, also recovering from the battle. There she saw, plain as day – battered, bruised and dirty from the fight - Serph and Sauron.

The last thing he remembered was becoming a three-headed dragon with his two sisters Alaun and Iliv. They had defeated Goreflame, separated and was falling to the ground. He remembered nothing after this. A few moments after Sauron regained consciousness, he saw Azul standing in front of the bed. Azul told Sauron that he was in his chambers used long time ago located in his Lost Library. Azul explained to Sauron that his sisters were with Resistance and he was in his Lost Library as it was the safest place for him to be. When asked why this was, Azul told him as long as he, Sauron, had Goreflame’s Dragon Stone, Goreflame’s followers would be after it, so he had transported him to the Library so that Sauron could find a way to hide and protect the Stone. Over the next few weeks, Sauron searched for places he could hide Goreflame’s Dragon Stone. After a month of research, Sauron stumbled upon an empty cave in the mountains quite by accident. He had been taking a break from searching and had gone for a walk to clear his mind, when he had found it. He thought this cave would be an ideal place to hide Dragon Stone; it was very well concealed and passers-by would simply overlook it. Sauron decided he could not be too careful, however, so he cast some spells on the cave, making it impossible for anyone to enter unless they had his express permission to do so. He then built an old-looking altar to hide it in; should someone manage to get past his protective spells, all they would find would be the altar and dismiss the cave as simply an old place used for rituals. To finish the effect he placed eight large candles around the altar. After hiding the Goreflame’s Dragon Stone, Sauron started to plan other ways to protect the Stone, as well the people of Drachenberge Diguerradraghi. This was when Azul suggested that he could give some people the power of the Elementals. From what he could remember reading about the Elementals, they were powerful warriors who could each control one of the elements: Earth, Fire, Wind and Water. However, a few powerful Vercingetorixes were able to control more then one; one Vercingetorix many years ago was able to control all four. However, several centuries ago, quite a few of the Vercingetorixes were discovered to be misusing their powers, using them for personal gain, so the Ancient Ones took away their powers of the elements to prevent them from repeating it in the future. Sauron recalled that the Elementals were able to create Elemental Monsters - the strength of these monsters depending on how strong the individual Elemental was. Sauron had to return to the Lost Library belonging to an Ancient One known as Catastrophe to find the spell, and after a month of researching and rehearsing what he had learnt he was finally competent in giving someone the power of the elements. However, he soon discovered that learning and rehearsing the spell was the easy part - finding one worthy of the powers was not. He started to search the library for further information. After quite a while of apparently fruitless searching, he eventually discovered Catastrophe’s personal chambers; there he found a book Catastrophe himself had written about the last Elemental Warriors. In the book, Catastrophe explained that he and some other Ancient Ones had withdrawn the powers of the Elementals as people were abusing the gift. However, they knew that these powers might be needed again some day, so they created two spells to being back the Elemental powers. The first spell was for someone who was very powerful, and it enabled them to turn people that they trusted into Elemental Warriors. The second spell, and the one that Sauron wanted to use, was a spell which turned person into a Guardian. A Guardian was a person with the ability to find four people worthy of becoming Elemental Warriors, each of whom would control one of the Elements. The main role of a Guardian was to find, train and protect the new Elemental Warriors. When the Guardian spell was cast, the new Guardian would gain extra strength, power, better agility and accuracy. After reading about the Guardian and Elemental Warrior spell, Sauron knew only one person he could trust to become the new Guardian: his best friend Serph. This decided, the next thing he had to do was to actually find him. Azul had told Sauron that Serph, his sisters and five of the best lieutenants of the Resistance were looking for him, Sauron. He did not think he was ready to see them all just yet, as he wanted time to prepare for the attacks he knew would happen soon. However, if Serph was to be the Guardian, he needed to find him as soon as possible. After his preparations for the spells, he went out searching for Serph and the group. It took him about two weeks to weeks to find them; they had set up a camp for the night near a forest. Waiting until everyone was asleep, he crept into the camp and woke Serph. When Serph first awoke, he was shocked to see Sauron in front of him; he tried to shout out to awake Alaun and Iliv, but Sauron had his finger to his lips, signalling Serph to be silent. Sauron beckoned Serph to follow him, which he did, albeit a little confused. Once out of earshot of the others, Sauron told Serph everything that happened since he disappeared. Seprh could not believe what he was hearing, but he agreed that Sauron was doing the right thing. Serph agreed to go along with Sauron’s plan; he was more than happy to help his best friend, even if it meant concealing it from the sisters and the Resistance for the time being. *** Over the next six months, Sauron, Serph and sometimes Azul, searched three islands for the new Elementals; in that time, however, they found only two people suitable to become Elementals. *** The first was the Water Elemental. Sauron and Serph first met the young woman when they came to a village for supplies. They had first seen the brown haired woman when she came out of the small local hospital. Instantly they laid eyes on her, both Serph (being the Elemental Guardian) and Sauron (being an Ancient One) sensed that she was the one to become the new Water Elemental. Before they spoke to her, they wanted to learn everything that they could about her. After a few days, they learned that the young woman was a Healer for the village, using her calm persona to help those in need. The Healer was twenty years old and went by the name of Eris. Even though, as a Healer, she had seen more death and pain then most, it still had not changed her course in life. She willingly put herself out to help others, and expected nothing in return. This reinforced Sauron and Serph’s decision that she was the sort of person the needed as an Elemental. Being the only living member of her family after the war with Goreflame and King Ares, she had learned early in life that war could cause much hurt and chaos. When she was younger, all she had ever wanted to be was a Healer, to save and nurture. However, as she got older, the war became a giant boulder thrown into her river of life. Therefore, she had learned to fight; taking her patience and becoming a force of a waterfall, pounding her enemies into rubble. Never once was there a time she lost her temper, her anger was always kept in check, whatever the situation, and she had survived, her course still as sturdy as it was when she was little, only now her inner self ran deeper, stronger. When Sauron talked to Eris after learning about her past, she could not believe that she was destined to be an Elemental: she had read them about them before, but could not believe that they were real as the books had only been bedtime fairy tales. She also could not believe that Sauron was an Ancient One. Just then, a group of twenty of Goreflame’s followers started to attack the village. None of the villagers had been expecting this and they were not prepared for a battle. Sauron and Serph saw this, so took it upon themselves to step in and assist the village. With the extra help, the villagers were eventually able to overcome the attack, but it was not without consequence. Somewhere in the battle, Eris’s Krulach (life-mate) had been killed. Eris was incredibly distraught, and sought revenge for what Goreflame’s followers had cost her; it was then she made the decision: she would accept Sauron’s offer and become an Elemental. This however, was not the way that Sauron wanted Eris to decide she would become the new Water Elemental, but there was not really anything he could do to change it. *** The Wind Elemental was a man by the name of Nowe; at 6'5 with light brown hair and pale blue eyes, he looked like he knew just what the future held. Sauron and Serph could feel the pull of the Wind Elemental within him. He was very well respected in his village: he was an Advisor to the Village Chief and was the last surviving member of his family; a family held in very high regard. He was loyal and wise with an unyielding sense of honour and duty. Unlike when Sauron and Serph informed Eris of her destiny, Nowe immediately knew they spoke the truth. Rumours had been running around about an Ancient One looking for people to become the new Elemental Warriors. Nowe was happy to become the new Wind Elemental, but because of his sense of duty and loyalty to the Chief of his village, first he had to inform the Village Chief of his plans to leave the village and become the Wind Elemental. When they went to talk to the Village Chief, they were surprised that the Chief had been expecting them, and that he already knew that Nowe was going to become the new Wind Elemental. When asked how he knew these things, the Chief explained that he had been having visions for quite some time. Upon hearing this, Sauron was not sure what to believe: no one was supposed to know anything about them and their plans for the new Elementals apart from himself, Serph and Eris. Sauron knew that seeing into the future was impossible, and this worried him for quite a while. However, when he later discussed it with Azul, he discovered that Nowe’s Village Chief possessed a skill known as “The Dragon’s Eye.” The Chief gave them his blessing and said that he would be proud for his Advisor to become an Elemental, and that they would not find a more loyal person to do so. Two days later, just as Sauron, Serph, Eris and Nowe were about to leave the village in search of the remaining two Elementals, they were approached by the Chief again. The Chief wanted to tell them that he might have some idea of the whereabouts of the new Fire Elemental. He explained that a few days ago, he had had a vision of a young woman with long flame-red hair. In this vision, the woman had been surrounded by fire. Sauron was still unsure if anyone could see the future, but any information that could help find the remaining two Elementals was welcome. The Chief explained that the new Fire Elemental was in a slave camp on the outskirts of Ryuyama Diguerradraghi, the homeland of Goreflame’s followers. *** The third Elemental was the Earth Elemental. The person was a man by the name of Orion. Orion had lived in a farming village for as long as he could remember. The smell of hay and leather filled his days from the time he woke to when his eyes closed for the day. The small space above the barn floor had been his living quarters since he was old enough to climb up the ladder up to it. He had no family to speak of, at least none blood related. He had always stood out as different among the villagers. At the age of ten he had been taller then most of the adults. While most of the villagers had dark eyes and light hair, he was the exact opposite with deep, bright green eyes and dark brown hair. From his years working with the land and animals, he had developed his muscular structure to the peak of physical fitness. Tanned and toned, he was sought after by many of the women villagers, some of whom used to tail him like lost puppies. At the age of twenty, he had established his personality as one of which he could be proud. Strong convictions and high morals guided his actions. The war had been rough on the whole country, but in his area, it had been particularly brutal. Solders had stayed there for a while, occupying some houses and abusing the female occupants in the process. One particular night, Orion awoke to hear terrified screams coming from a house close to his barn. He leapt out of bed and burst into the house to find three soldiers with a terrified-looking young woman only about thirteen or fourteen years old. One of the soldiers was ripping off the young woman’s clothes while hitting her in the face. The other solders took turns drinking from a whisky bottle while they watched, laughing. Orion wasted no time in ejecting the soldiers from the house with his bare hands, towering over each of them by nearly a foot. To say that the solders had trouble joining their regiment in the morning would have been an understatement. Orion had seen red when he had seen what they were doing to the girl and had really ripped into them. The result was five bloody pulps in the field. Their sergeant had no sympathy for them either, refusing them medical attention until after a short trial and sentencing. Not surprisingly, they were found guilty, and they were carted off to prison. Orion had been fifteen at the time, and it had cemented his conviction to help those he could, to protect and guard. Therefore, it came as a surprise to see two people walk into his barn. He had been laying a new layer of bedding for the horses when the strangers had been silhouetted against the door. “Can I help you?” his deep voice asked softly. He stood tall, drawing himself up to his full height, his hands griping the pitchfork, ready for anything. *** About a week before the group entered the farming village where Orion lived, they had received a message from Azul warning them that Goreflame’s followers had reformed into a group calling themselves the Bloodfire Cult. Azul had explained that they had discovered a way to make certain members of the Cult more powerful. These members were known as Generals. Generals usually led a group of six people in battle; however, when a mission was of particular importance, as many as four or even more Generals would go into battle. Azul warned Sauron that the Cult knew of his plan regarding the new Elementals, and they planned to do everything they could to prevent it. As they neared the borders of Ryuyama Diguerradraghi, five Generals ambushed them from the Cult. Sauron was easily able to defeat them, but not before Nowe got severely injured. Eris was able to treat most of Nowe’s wounds, but not before she ran out of medical supplies, leaving Nowe still requiring treatment. Their only hope would be to obtain fresh supplies from a village, but the nearest village was a farming village, but it was a day away. Still, all they could do was to travel there, and pray that Nowe could survive the journey. As the group arrived at the farming village, Nowe, thankfully, still alive, both Sauron and Serph felt the presence of the Earth Elemental. They were both very excited, but knew that their immediate priority was Nowe’s wellbeing. Sauron was very frustrated that he could not use his powers to heal him. Unfortunately, the weapons that had caused Nowe’s injuries had been forged with some kind of Dark Magic, which was preventing Sauron from using his powers as an Ancient One from doing anything to help. Nowe’s only hope rested with Eris and her skill as Healer. After renting a barn to stay in, Eris started to treat Nowe injuries, and Sauron and Serph went to find the Earth Elemental. It was easy to find him: he was outside the Village Hall, teaching the young ones to defend themselves. Once Sauron and Serph found out everything that they wanted about Orion from various villagers, they followed him to his barn. When got there, they stayed in the shadows and watched Orion, but they were surprised when Orion said with a pitchfork in hand, ready for anything, “Can I help you?” For the next few hours, Sauron and Serph explained to Orion everything to him; from Sauron being turned into an Ancient One to the reason why they were there. Sauron and Serph were surprised how well Orion accepted what they were telling him. They were also surprised that he was so willing to join them, but as he explained, he had no family at the village. He knew that he could do more good with what Sauron and Serph were offering him. When Sauron and Serph returned to their barn with Orion, Eris told them that Nowe would be fine, but that he would still need to rest for a week. Therefore, Sauron decided to find the last Elemental himself; he knew there would be more attacks by Goreflame’s Followers as they neared their destination, and he wanted to avoid any more of his people getting injured. The next night, while everyone was asleep, Sauron sneaked out of the village and headed off to find the last Elemental. *** The last Elemental was a young woman by the name of Sara, who had been born at a slave camp, and raised to be a slave, just like every other female in her family. When a male was born in a slave family, they would have been taken away to be raised as a warrior. This was one of the reasons she had spent the vast majority of life fighting to become something better. This made her stand out among the other slaves and caused her quite a bit of trouble. The Masters of the Camp did not like it when a slave fought back; usually, the culprit would either be killed or beaten severely. However, Sara had such beauty - silky, amber hair, brown eyes and smooth skin - that they knew she would bring in large amounts of Blood Stone Diamonds - their highest form of currency. However, when they did try to beat her on one occasion, they found she possessed much greater strength than any of the other slaves did; it took five of their strongest Warriors to hold her still so a Slave Master could put a Collar on her to suppress her powers. Even with the collar on, she was still stronger then the other slaves, but not as strong as before. Troublesome as she was, the Slave Masters knew that she would bring them in a very good amount of Blood Stone Diamonds when she was sold. Once a month, there was a Slave Market where people could come and purchase slaves to do with as they wished. Since Sara was sixteen, she had been sold to ten different Masters and Mistresses. The first three occasions, she killed her buyer once they got home and went on the run. However, after a few days she was always found by the Slave Masters and returned to the Camp. Upon purchasing a slave, the buyers would place on them the special bracelet that bound the slave to them, dampened their free will, and show that they were a slave belonging to someone. It made for many happy customers and very compliant slaves. However, all the seven buyers that bought Sara, she either killed or beat up before anyone could do anything. Therefore, Sara earned herself a very bad reputation at the Market, and after a while, no one wanted to buy her, as they knew that she would kill them to get away. Sara was instead sent to work at one of the Inns where slaves were sold for entertainment instead. Many of the slaves became pregnant because of working at the Inns, which was why few of the slaves knew who their fathers were. However, whenever Sara was working at the Inn, she always used her looks and brains to make sure she also profited from the deal. Some gave her information on how to better herself. Others were not so compliant and would refuse and force her to entertain them, or they would go to another slave. The Slave Masters had been keeping a close eye on Sara while she worked in the Inns, and had noticed a distinct improvement in her behaviour over the past couple of years. It was shortly after her twenty-third birthday that they decided to put her up for sale on the Market again. There she saw a man that she knew somehow would change her life forever; he was tall and very handsome with unruly black hair, and beautiful emerald green eyes. Sara really hoped he was here to buy her. For the first time in her life, she wanted to be sold to someone and serve them like a true slave. *** A week after Sauron left the Farming Village, he found himself on the borders of Ryuyama Diguerradraghi. He was careful not to attract any attention to himself as he visited some Slave Markets. He visited many, but not one of the slaves in these struck him as having Elemental potential. By the end of the week, he was beginning to lose hope, and began to fear he may never find the Fire Elemental. However, just as he was beginning to make his way back to the Farming Village, he stumbled across another Slave Market. As he approached the slaves, he could feel a presence. He was not sure what it was, until he saw her. She was tall, slender, with silky amber hair, and deep brown eyes. Sara. He felt drawn to her, and as her eyes connected with his, he knew that she was the one. She was the final Elemental. He knew that the only way he was going to get her to accompany him without fighting the Slave Masters was to buy her, and he hoped that she would not get the wrong impression of him as he did this. Sauron was amazed that he got her for just fifty Blood Stone Diamonds, he thought that she would have cost much more. As the Slave Master explained to Sauron about Sara’s troublesome past, Sara entered the room led by another three Slave Masters, chains around her hands and feet. As the chains were removed, Sauron saw that the Masters were waiting for her to run off again, their weapons poised to stop her. However, their mouths fell open when Sara calmly walked over to Sauron and knelt down beside him, totally chain-free; she held up her right arm to accept the Slave Bracelet. Sauron did not want to put the Bracelet on Sara, as he wanted her to keep her free will and for her to not be imprisoned. As he did not want a fight, they were too many people, he asked the Slave Masters if he could put the Slave Bracelet on later as she clearly wanted to go with him and there was no need to force her. However, they told him that they could not do this, as it might be a plan of hers to run away again. Sauron decided he would take it off later, but first he had to make sure he could. He asked if anyone could remove the bracelet if someone kidnapped her, but was told that it was impossible to remove the bracelet once it was on the slave; not even an Ancient One could do it. This was not something Sauron wanted to hear, and he was worried about how exactly to remove the Bracelet from Sara once it was on. However, he badly needed her to accompany him, so he had no choice but to put the Bracelet on her. After the Slave Bracelet was put onto Sara, the Slave Masters removed the Collar that was suppressing her powers. When they were out of the Market and away from any prying ears, Sauron explained everything to Sara, who and what he was, and who and what she was. Sara replied that she would do whatever he told her, as he was her Master now. Sauron tried to tell her that while he might be her Master now, he would not be for long, and he wanted her to be her own free person, free to do whatever she chose, not what someone else dictated to her. But she wouldn’t listen, and told him that she would always be his slave, and she would do whatever he wanted. *** For Serph, Eris, Orion and Nowe, almost two weeks had passed since Sauron left the Farming Village. Within that time, Eris was able to heal Nowe fully, but it was some time before Nowe was back to his full strength. They were worried about Sauron; they knew that he had most likely sneaked out of the village so he could find the Fire Elemental alone, but they were worried nonetheless as they had had no word. By the end of the second week, they were concerned that something had happened to him, so they decided they would go into Ryuyama Diguerradraghi and look for him. However, just as they were leaving the village, they saw Sauron return with a young woman in tow. As the pair approached them, they could see she was a slave by the bracelet she wore on her right wrist. The existing Elementals wondered why Sauron would return with a slave: did they have any use for her? However, Serph sensed that she was the Fire Elemental, and seeing the confused looks on the three’s faces, explained this to them. Soon after the group had settled in the rented barn and got to know each other fully, Sauron cast the required spell on the Elementals to turn them. After returning to their homelands, they spent many years practicing and honing their new skills until they had mastered them completely. They had plenty of opportunities to test their skills as the Bloodfire Cult sprang many attacks on them and the people of Drachenberge Diguerradraghi. These attacks were much the same as they had endured before and they were able to fight off the Cult without too many casualties. Sauron also tried to find a way to free Sara from the Slave Bracelet so she could have her free will back, but unfortunately all his research told him the same thing: the Slave Bracelet could not be removed once it was put on a slave. Then on one particular day, a spy returned with news of an attack planned for a few days time, close to Sauron and Serph’s own village. Their spy told them that the Cult would be sending five Generals and ten warriors to the village to destroy it and all who dwelled there. Sauron and Serph thought that the battle would be relatively simple as they now had the four Elementals with their newly honed skills, but it was not so. The battle was much tougher than they had anticipated as the Cult had with them many new brutal weapons. Fortunately for them, the Order was on their routine patrol when they stumbled upon the fight. The Order joined in without a second thought, and with their increase in numbers, they were easily able to defeat the Cult. However, easily as they did this, they still sustained some losses. Many of the villagers were killed in the battle, and Sauron, Serph and the four Elementals were knocked unconscious. *** A week after the attack on the village, and Sauron and his new friends still had not come round. Alaun, Iliv and the Order were happy for the return of Sauron and Serph, but they wondered who the other four were. It was another two weeks before Sauron, Serph, Eris, Nowe, Orion and Sara finally regained consciousness. Sauron and Serph explained to Alaun, Iliv and the Order who the four new people were and what he had done to locate them. Everyone was amazed to hear how far Sauron had gone to locate these four new warriors, but, seeing how they had performed in the most recent battle, they all agreed that it had been worth it. Alaun and Iliv went on to explain what they and the Order been up to in the time Sauron had been away. Most of what they told him, he already knew, but he did not know that since becoming Dragon Warriors they had been not been able to have children. They told Sauron that normally about six years after becoming Dragon Warriors, people were starting to have children again. However, instead of being born normally, children were born as eggs. The women would sometimes lay eggs five days after having sex, then nine months later a child would hatch from the egg, just like regular dragons. Iliv also explained that they had created a council called the Council of the Phoenix to look after the Order. *** Fifty years after that day, Sauron and his sisters disappeared from the world with Serph and the Elemental Warriors. In that time, Serph had married Alaun, and Nowe had married Eris. Sauron, Iliv and Sara never married… it seemed that both Sauron and Iliv loved Sara, and as Sara was a slave, they could never marry. So they lived a happy life together. Orion married a woman back in his home village named Helen, and they spent many happy years together. They also found out that the reason Sara was strong and powerful was that she was half Ancient One; her father, as they found out, was none other then Goreflame himself. It seemed that, cold hearted as he was, in his own way, Goreflame was in love with Sara’s mother. The Vercingetorixes learned an important thing about their children, one thing was that they aged as same as before, but they matured much more quickly. Unless the children had a strong will to surpass their mating urges or were trained to control them at an early age – usually about five or six, - they would be mating at the age of eight with anyone of age (which was usually around eight) near them. The problem was that when they had urges, they would mate with their own family members if no other were females around. It did not matter what the person’s age was, as long as they were of age. This behaviour was just like normal dragons. This took them nearly forty years to sort out. Also within that time, the Vercingetorixes found out that they could become invisible at will, able to allow people they chose to see them but not others, and they could also open portals to anywhere they wanted. Now when Sauron and the others disappeared, no one knew where they went. Many believe they all went to Heaven. However, at the age of five hundred - Vercingetorixes also enjoyed a much longer lifespan than humans - Serph, Orion, Nowe and Eris merely died of old age, whilst Sauron, his sisters and Sara lived on because of their blood, the blood of an Ancient One. They also stayed looking young. Sauron once asked Serph, Orion, Nowe and Eris if they wanted to become like them and live as long as them, but they wanted to die when their time came and not belong it. Therefore, Sauron, his sisters and Sara spent the next many, many thousands of years together. However, before they died, Sauron made the Elemental Dragon Stones in case they were needed in the future, and hid them in the same cave as Goreflame’s Dragon Stone on top of the alter. The only people that knew about them was the Council of the Phoenix, and they were also the ones to decide who the new Guardian would be. About nine thousand years after becoming an Ancient One, Sauron, his sisters and Sara were in a battle with a powerful Ancient One named Hellhate; he wanted to take over where Goreflame left off. The four of them were able to defeat Hellhate, but not without a heavy price: they dead shortly after the battle. For many years after Sauron, his sisters and Sara died, there were many battles between the Order of the Phoenix and the Bloodfire Cult. However, after one battle where far too many died on each side, they decided to call a truce. Next time on Harry Potter and The Dragon Stones Saga; Philosopher’s Stone… Chapter 1 - Krystol and Godric – Part 1 (Meeting the Weasleys) In the first chapter of this story, we’ll meet two people who seemed to be from the future; Godric Mystic and Krystol Johnson. They somehow accidentally ended up in the year 10/09/1981, they meet the Weasleys, and explain a few things about the future. Then they meet the Potters.
