Chapter Eight, Part One
-0-
"I've never snuck out of school before," Luna commented as they slipped out of the Ravenclaw common room on a broom. They were going to fly down to the school gates and slip out them, leaving one of them cracked open so they could get back through to change the school wards after they'd finished with the village wards.
"Enjoy it while you can," Harry retorted. "Tomorrow morning we'll have to be innocence personified in case anyone suspects anything."
Harry had originally considered shadowing down to the village and then shadowing everyone back into the castle, but a glance at the wards told him that wouldn't work unless Voldemort and Barty were actually welcomed at the gate. Not certain how the shadows fell down by the gate in the middle of the night, he decided it would be easier to just use the gate and avoid all use of his vampire powers. Especially since he was about to go cast two wards twice.
At the gate, they slipped through and Harry cast an obscure spell he knew of which would keep the gate open, then they dashed down into the sleeping village. The rest of the group was waiting for them around the large ward stone Voldemort had carved over the past few days.
"Are we sure it should be so large?" Barty was whispering to Lucius. "I mean, people are going to notice."
"That's sort of the point, Barty," Harry commented drily, smiling at the irritated look on both Riddle and Voldemort's faces. Next to Voldemort, Xerosis smirked at him.
"You couldn't have done that sooner?" Riddle demanded of Xerosis.
"It wouldn't have been as much fun for him," Voldemort replied drily. "He likes watching us get progressively more murderous.
"It is kind of funny, though," Harry offered, earning him disgusted looks from both Voldemort and Riddle.
"Do you have any idea how wrong it is to have four of you around?" Barty asked Harry.
"Yes," Harry replied. "I almost want to do it at a Death Eater meeting, just to watch a bunch of adults in masks slowly turn into a blubbering mess." He shot Barty and Lucius a mad grin, making them both sigh, then pointed to Luna. "This is Luna Lovegood, by the way, my favourite minion. Luv, Barty and Lucius. And Voldemort. Or Tom. Or Voldemort and–"
"Potter, I will Crucio you," Voldemort informed him.
"But the potential!"
"We'll both Crucio you," Riddle threatened.
Luna took that moment to walk up to Riddle with a bright smile and extend her hand for a handshake, saying, "It's good to finally meet you, ToMeister."
They were all silent for a moment before Riddle choked. Voldemort just sort of sighed while Xerosis and Harry both started laughing a bit madly. Barty and Lucius looked rather like they were in fear for their lives.
Luna turned to Xerosis with a smile, not minding that Riddle didn't take her hand like was polite. "We should get started."
"Luna, I love you," Xerosis informed her, dropping a kiss on her head. He then turned to Voldemort. "We don't have an endless amount of time to do this in."
"I know." Voldemort sighed and snapped his fingers in his double's face. "Go north," he ordered. "Potter west, Xerosis east."
Harry and Xerosis both saluted Voldemort before going off in their assigned directions. Riddle went in his direction with only minor grumbling.
Voldemort turned to the three who would stay at the stone. "Lucius, stand here. Barty, here. Lovegood, you're here, and for Merlin's sake, behave."
Luna smiled as she got into position. "Harry already explained the severity of the situation, my Lord."
"It's no wonder you and Potter are such good friends," Voldemort muttered to himself as he started off to the south.
Once in position, Voldemort cast the Parseltongue spell. :The rune stone and the south are in position.:
:The east is in position,: Xerosis replied.
:The north is in position,: Riddle added.
:The west is in position. Casting in five,: Harry announced.
Voldemort counted to five, then started chanting. Probably the best thing about having him and Harry double themselves was that they knew their magic was compatible, so there would be no complications with the ward. Their magical cores were about the same size, too, which meant none of them would have to compensate for the others. Although, admittedly, both he and Xerosis had already done both the ward for the village and for the school once, but they'd decided that wouldn't be a problem, so had continued with the casting.
The ward took about twenty minutes to fully cast and another ten to anchor and set. By the time the casters got back to the ward stone, they were all tired and insanely grateful for the water and food Luna had called via house-elf. All seven of them took a break on a couple of benches off to one side in the square, the four Dark Lords sitting together while their minions whispered together.
"I don't think I want to know what they're up to," Harry commented.
"With Luna involved, it's probably best not to ask," Xerosis agreed. "Though, knowing her, it almost certainly has something to do with one of her creatures." He and Harry traded grins.
"ToMeister?" Riddle asked, grimacing a bit.
"At least she's not bestowing you with crowns of pink flowers," Harry replied, smiling.
"Anyway, ToMeister has a nice ring to it," Xerosis offered. "I might have to use it myself."
"Don't you dare," Riddle and Voldemort chorused.
Harry and Xerosis chuckled.
"Are you ready to go yet?" Voldemort demanded of the two teenagers.
"Hey, you are the old ones," Harry retorted.
"Potter, I am going to curse you," Riddle warned, reaching for his wand.
"Oh, save your magic for the wards," Xerosis told him, still chuckling a bit.
Harry winked at Riddle, earning him a growl, then stood. "I'm good."
"I need to do something before we go," Xerosis commented.
"Ah, yes. Best get that out of the way," Voldemort agreed.
"Fawkes!" Xerosis called, catching the attention of Luna, Barty and Lucius, who all looked over a bit nervously as the phoenix flamed into existence.
Fawkes gave Xerosis a disgusted look.
"I know I promised to stay out of your way, but we," he waved his hand to encompass all of them, "are going to be coming onto the campus and adding to the wards. Also," he shot Voldemort a significant look, which the snake-like man rolled his eyes at, "getting rid of something someone added to them in a fit of pique."
"I like that ward where it is," Riddle complained.
"Hey, which of us is the student having to deal with that ward here, you or me?" Harry snapped. "We're getting rid of it."
"Or what?" Riddle snarked.
"Or I'll Avada your arse until you agree with me."
"He will, too," Xerosis helpfully offered.
"We're removing the curse," Voldemort snapped, scowling at his younger self.
Riddle paused, then commented, "I'm not sure I want to know what he did to make me agree to that one..."
Xerosis and Harry smiled a bit disturbingly.
Fawkes trilled angrily, reminding them he was still there.
"Oh yeah, sorry, Fawkes." Xerosis shrugged. "Anyway, we're going to be playing with the wards for the school, which should set off at least one of Dumbledore's toys. We'd be much obliged if you could, oh, borrow that toy – or toys – until we're done."
Fawkes huffed a lick of flame into Xerosis' face, which had the vampire scowling, then nodded and flamed away.
"Right, up to the castle," Xerosis ordered, waving at the minions as the Dark Lords all rose.
Once everyone was up, they made their way up to the gate. Lucius, Luna, Harry and Xerosis were all able to walk right into the grounds, but Voldemort, Riddle and Barty had to be invited in. (Admittedly, Voldemort probably didn't have to be invited in, since he'd already been let in once, but they decided to invite him in again anyway. Just in case.)
On the other side of the gates, they stopped to get their directions from Xerosis. "Okay, the runes have already been added to the stone. Barty, Lucius, follow Luna and she'll show you where you need to go. Luna has a two-way mirror which Harry has the other half of. When you three are in place, Luna will tell Harry, who will inform the rest of us. Other than that... Harry, west; Tom, north; Voldemort, south."
Nodding, everyone started off to their positions. Riddle was able to mostly stay in his current position, since the gate was on the north side, though he did have to go back through the gate so he was actually on the ward line. Harry joined Riddle in leaving through the gate, then got on his broom and flew around to the west side, outside the wards. Voldemort and Xerosis were able to take their brooms inside the grounds to their positions, though they were probably the most obnoxious positions of them all: Voldemort would be floating near the far edge of the lake, while Xerosis would be deep inside the forest.
Once Harry had heard from Luna, he started the call for being ready. Riddle was quick to respond, then Xerosis. Voldemort took a bit longer, having the furthest to go, but as soon as he was settled they started their casting.
About ten minutes into their casting, they hit some resistance, which angrily demanded, 'What are you doing?' to all four casters at once.
It was Harry who responded, being the only one still obviously a student of the school, 'We're fixing the wards so the mundanes – muggles – can't see the school from space. Who are you?'
There was a long silence from the entity, then it responded, 'I am Hogwarts. One, no, two of you have added to my wards before. It was a curse and I don't like it.'
'We fully intend to get rid of it, if you'll let us continue,' Voldemort replied as politely as he could.
Hogwarts considered that for a moment, then replied, 'Very well. If you happen to "forget" to remove the curse, however, I will place a curse on all of you. Even the three at my ward stone.'
'Understood,' Xerosis replied.
Hogwarts' presence faded away and they were able to continue casting.
Almost an hour later, they finally finished. Harry and Riddle, as per their original plans, used their time-turners to go back seven hours, so they had time for a break before they would need to collect Barty and Lucius and cast the wards again. Xerosis – back as Harry again – and Voldemort, however, met back up with the others at the gate of the school. Luna had procured more water, which she handed to the two Dark Lords, and they all took a moment to rest.
Once he felt better, Voldemort straightened. "That was interesting," he commented to Harry.
Harry snorted. "Interesting is one word for it. Do you want me to try getting in contact with her again?" he asked, referring to the school.
"Of course. Having her on our side would be quite the boon."
"Will do." Harry nodded.
"I hate it when you start talking in code," Barty complained to Harry.
The teen grinned at him. "You know we only do it to irritate you."
"Barty, contrary to your own beliefs, our conversations do not revolve around you," Voldemort commented drily, shaking his head at his Death Eater. "Potter, how are your plans coming?"
"Relatively well," Harry allowed, glancing back towards the castle. "I want to get a couple more weekends of training in, and I haven't quite got the protective amulets ready, but we should be ready to move by the second weekend of October at the absolute latest."
"Now I know they're doing it to irritate me," Barty informed Lucius and Luna. The girl giggled, knowing very well what Harry and Voldemort were talking about that time.
"Let me know if you run into any trouble with it, then," Voldemort offered.
"I will, thanks."
Luna reached over and tugged on Harry's sleeve. "I'm coming too, right?"
"Yeah, I suppose," Harry agreed, rolling his eyes. Voldemort just shook his head, not even bothering to argue Luna's inclusion.
"Okay, now that is not fair," Barty complained. "How come a fourth year knows what you're planning and the rest of us don't?"
"Because Luna's my favourite," Harry retorted. "And because I spend most of my free time with her, so she figures things out."
Barty shot a glare at Luna, making the girl giggle.
Harry rolled his eyes while Voldemort considered Crucioing his Death Eater.
Lucius cleared his throat. "Perhaps it's time to leave, my Lord? It has been a tiring exercise."
"Doubly tiring for some of us," Harry agreed. He and Voldemort traded pained looks. "I'll let you know if anything comes up."
Voldemort nodded and ushered his Death Eaters through the gate. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do," he told his partner before Harry could close the gate.
"So, throw around the Cruciatus like a sweet and kill people if they really tick me off?"
"Basically."
Harry laughed and waved before closing the gate. "Come on, luv, let's get some sleep. It has been a very long day."
Luna smiled and hugged Harry as he shadowed them back to their common room. "Good night, my Lord," she offered before heading for her stairs.
"Good night, Luna," Harry called back, heading towards his own bed and a well-deserved sleep.

A/N: About ToMeister: My cat's name is Tom – named after everyone's favourite evil genius – and I randomly called him 'ToMeister' one day. Shara insisted I have Harry call Tom that in this fic, but I was having a hard time fitting it in. So Luna got to use it instead. I think it worked better this way, anyway. XD

Date: 22/7/11 01:15 (UTC)It going to be so much fun when they get to the moon!
The astrophysist in me has got to ask questions through (yes I know I hopped on the boat late). How are you going to deal with the moon being tidally locked (one side always facing the earth)? So the moon does not rotate, how will that effect any plant growth exposer to the sun? How are you going to get topsoil with nutients up there so plants can grow? How are you going to deal with all of the rock for building? Heck rock core, would almost be better to jump start the core to produce heat. How are you going to get water? Lol, we can store it in craters. What are you going to do with all of the waste? Space it?
And most imporantly of all how are you going to get the muggles to not notice? They can visually see the moon. How are you going to deal with the tide fluxuations that will happen with any fuckery of the moons mass? I have ran calulations before and it can rise several feet!
This is what I get for being a Civil Engineer with an Astrophysics minor. D'oh. I first didn't think you were serious about going to the moon but this chapter got me really interested. Now, I will be thinking about the logistics of everything for the next while and it is all your fault!
Oh well, magic is awesome and so are you so I am not worried ^_~

Well, magic and a healthy dose of political manoeuvring.Ignore that. You never read it. XDAwww... I am awesome. *someone comes along to pop ego* Erm... ^.^"

Date: 22/7/11 19:17 (UTC)What if we make the moon alive?
That thought started when I was thinking about how you had Hogwarts talking to them when they were making the ward. Then I got to thinking about how there was always personifications of the earth and the moon in mythologies. Not to mention how death is alive and kicking ass in your fic. Just imagine how much more the moon will change when all of the magic users move there and start using the magic.
You were talking about making modifications to the core. Well the core has is crystallized magma. I bet magic can heat and wake back up! Just imagine the physical implications of having the power of the core of a planet (our moon is bigger then some of the dwarf planets in our solar system) at your finger tips.
I dunno, But you have got me thinking now of even crazier shit now and it is all your fault!

Date: 23/7/11 15:07 (UTC)There was Sailor Moon? And Japanese? And Sherlock? O.o
You can shoot me now! XD
Btw, the Moon Rabbit is not a magical/mythical creature! It's real! XD
We learn about it in Chinese mythology~ *whistles~*
It's the 玉兔~ It lives with 嫦娥 (Chang Er) in the Moon Palace and makes the Fountain of Youth Medicine (长生不老药)!
There's actually lots of variants of the bunny's origins but this ss the one I remember the most clearly so there you have it!
I think there's also one version of it pounding rice cakes! (Forgot where it's from...)
Mm, the moon's awesome! ADs and AUs are boring anyway~ :D
I wanna watch HP:DH2! Sadly, I just recently moved house and the house is so damn messy, so my mum said to wait until it comes out on DVD... T.T
Yay for Voldie!! Loved the first scene! Sadistic!Xerosis is fun~ Sadistic!Harry is also fun! I really wanna play in zero-G with magic!
Luna is awesome! Lol at ToMeister! XD And disgruntled!annoyed!Fawkes~ He still helped them anyway~
I'm curious as to what Xerosis did to make Voldie agree to removing the curse. Please tell? XD
Anyway, hearts chapter! It's brilliant! Cz there's more Voldie/Harry/Luna/crack/insanity! ;P
Hugs Bats and presents chocolate chip cookies! :D

Date: 25/7/11 23:02 (UTC)And the Sherlock was me going on about stuff being boring. ^.^"
Hn. Clearly it's an eastern thing, then, since I got it from Japanese mythology.
Aww... It was pretty good. You should go on a house-cleaning spree and then force your mum to let you go see it. *nod, nod* Especially since it's probably not going to be out on DVD for six to nine months, knowing how this goes. -.-
He didn't actually do anything. It's more that Hogwarts threatened them that got Voldie/Tom to decide it would be done, no questions. Voldie was just agreeing with Harry/Xerosis because that was easier.
*snatches cookies and goes to eat them under her desk*

Date: 26/7/11 15:34 (UTC)Mm, yup. Westerners think of the man on the moon while we Easterners think of lots of random myths for the moon. There's tons more myths about the moon and practically anything. Hyperactive imagination. XD
Oh, I'll have to try then. There's furniture to buy this weekend. T.T
Aww, I was hoping it was more of Harry/Xerosis threatening to steal away his bed and let him sleep on the floor/couch. *pouts*
XD Here's some more cookies~ And be careful not to hit your head! Tables are painful! ;P

Date: 1/8/11 14:12 (UTC)My mum let us watch it after our furniture shopping as we were already out and it was still early!
Well, actually my brother wanted to watch Transformers 3 but it was all sold out. T.T
The only bad thing about it was that I had a major headache afterwards. I get headaches everythime after I watch 3D stuff as I also wear specs. T.T
Still, it was brilliant!! :D Even though half the storyline was screwed up... -.-"

Date: 1/8/11 21:06 (UTC)Yeah... 3D always gives me headaches, too. I generally avoid the films that use it – well, the 3D versions of those films – but I wish I could see one. ;.;
Of course half the storyline was wonky. It always goes cock-eyed when they made a book into a film. ^.~

Date: 1/8/11 21:18 (UTC)Also, poked around the web a bit for moon info. Thinking about putting the colony in the South Pole-Aiten basin, but not sure about the possibility of space-debris impacts. I found one spot that implied they had mostly calmed down, but I'm not sure. Do you know one way of the other?
Crazy thoughts are good. XD
Assuming LJ doesn't break on us again. -.-

Date: 1/8/11 22:19 (UTC)The main issue that I see is how are we going to keep an atmosphere on the moon so people can breath. It is also our atmosphere that keeps our all of the space junk and harmful uv radiadiation. We have magic through and shields and wards on our side.
What if we combine it all into one all powerful ward with a backup.
Think about it. This will keep out harmful stuff from missles, radiation, and space junk. But keep in all of the good stuff like heat and air. They already gotta have wards to protect them from spells, projectile weapons, germatic warfair and even hide them.
They just have to figure out how to incorporate on the moon and what kind of power source they need for that. Heck could be moon rocks themselves that are magical amplifiers and it will have a chain reaction that will encompass the whole planet.
See lots of ideas!

Date: 2/8/11 06:58 (UTC)Mm, you should. Even though I had a headache afterwards, the landscape scenes are really nice. The castle looks like it's extending outwards and it feels like you can almost touch it. :)
Still, there's not much of the 3D that I can see except for the landscapes and the floating pieces of the destroyed Protego Maxima. So I'm not that sure if it's worth it or not. O.O
True. Which is why I prefer books/words to movies.
The added scenes are funny though, XD
McGonagall: *rubs hands in glee* "I've always wanted to use that spell!"
Neville: "Haha, can't get in, can't you?"
*Protego Maxima gets destroyed* "Umm, oops!"
*bombs in background* *runs for life* "Ahhhh!!!"
