Chapter 45 - The Wand's memory

James appeared inside the tower hall gripping Harry's wand images flashed before his mind in rapid session. Ava and Mara came toward him as he fell to the floor. Ava stared at James in wide eyed alarm as his eyes reflected back her own image like twin mirrors.

"James pull back. Your seeing to much!" Ava warned him.

James shook his head forcing himself to his own feet and

The world started to shift for James as he felt the world shifting away. His vision became foggy and then the next second he was somewhere else in another time.

James turned and he was in another place and time. He stared through a window into another time and place at a still human Harry Potter. He blinked before he was apart of the vision.

...

Harry felt a chill down his spine. Something was wrong. He rubbed his scar on his head. It had been years sense that had felt the prick of pain. He frowned at the feeling.

"Harry. Harry? Honey what's wrong?" Ginny asked him coming outside the house to put her hand on his cheeks. She stared at him. Her eyes widened at the expression on his face. She shook her head. "No. No. He can't be back. It's impossible."

Harry shook off her hold and drew his wand from his pocket. "It's not him. It's not. He's dead." He tried to reassure her even as he tried to push her back into the house.

Ginny tried to stop him from pushing her into the house with the others. "I have to help you. Your alone. You'll need help."

"I need you inside protecting the others." Harry told attempting to push her back into the house but she held her ground.

"I need you inside the house with the rest of the family. Your not an Auror anymore, Harry. Windy already told us about the danger. She advises that we stay inside and Katherine has already called the Aurors they should be here in a manner of minutes. Come inside." Ginny demanded him.

Harry shook his head. "There not going to get here in time. I have to protect my family Ginny said. Who are they?"

Ginny shook her head attempting to pull him inside. Harry held his ground though and stared at her.

"Ginny. Who are they?" Harry demanded.

"Come inside and I will tell you." Ginny demanded.

Harry stared at her. "Ginny!"

"Come inside now or it's over between us." Ginny said coldly. "Your not an Auror anymore your retired from the great hero life."

Harry flinched back and stared at her. His scare hurt but blocked away the pain for now. Ginny stared back. He finally jerked his hand out of her grasped and pushed her back inside following her inside and slammed the door closed. He stared at her. "Wait here." He said pushing past her.

Ginny attempted to grab his hand but he jerked his hand away. He looked at her and held up a finger. "Don't. Not now. No. I don't want to hear it."

"Harry. I love you." Ginny rushed to say and tried to grab his hand but he pushed her hand away and went to the back bed rooms. He stopped before eating a closed door.

Harry took a breath and relaxed before going into the room. He opened the door and saw his daughter in-law Windy laying in her bed with his new grandson in her arms Alice and Tia his other daughter-laws and their children in the room.

Windy was rocking little Angus in her arms. She looked up at him. "Harry. They're coming for my son."

Harry a chill went down his spine. He kept his face from showing the shock of what he was hearing. "What do you need me to do?"

Windy smiled. "I need you to stay close to us. They'll try to draw you out and away. If you leave they'll take Angus and kill all of us. You can't leave my side. Promise me."

Harry nodded. "I promise you. I'll stay by your side and protect you, Angus and everyone I can in this family. Who are they?"

Windy shook his head. "I don't know but their connected to him?" She said quietly.

"Riddle?" Harry asked.

Windy shook her head. "No. Someone else. I can't see him but I know he's behind all this. He's seen something of a prophecy of Angus and what he will become."

Harry held up a hand stopping her from going on any further. "Stop right there. I don't need to learn anything else. I'll see to it that your boy grows up with you and Sam. Ah!" He said simply and grimanced as the pain became more intensive.

He drew out his wand shaking off his pain. He aimed his wand up at the ceiling. "Protectco Goalimo Santum!" He spoke the spell sending a blue orb from his wand's end to touch the ceiling and then words started to appear on ceiling of the cabin and traveled down the walls all over the room and then out and around every corner of the building.

"That should do it." Harry said calmly.

"What did you do?" Ginny spoke quietly reaching for his hand.

Harry shook her grasp off and turned to Windy. "It's something new I've been working on. It's a form of protection enchantment you can do on a place you call home. I call it ward craft. I'm going to teach you and Angus this spell. You'll have to learn to master just in case? Do you understand me?"

Windy nodded her head. "Yes I do and I will learn to master it."

The vision of the moment faded again and then everything went black.

The light of the sun flashed before Harry's eyes as he stood in field of bodies. Blood flowed down his lip and his youngest stood with him for a moment smiling and then he fell to the ground with the others died.

Harry felt a part of him missing and then his scar her hurt. He turned thinking about Windy and went into an apparition.

"Avan AH-" The Dark Wizard cried out as Harry sent a swift kick to between his legs and he fell to the floor.

Harry gave the wizard one last quick kick to the face knocking the wizard unconcise. Harry picked up the wizard's wand before he turned and stared at Windy as she cried with Angus looking at him.

"Where's your grandmother?"

Augus nodded to the closed door outside. "She's outside." He said in calm voice. He was two years old and he looked like a man.

Harry sighed turning and started for the door way. Ginny was on the floor outside. Harry fell to his knees grabbing her body and cried rocking on his knees.

The vision faded and the sounds of battle was heard. Harry covered his mouth as fit of coughing began. He kept his attention on a fight a few feet away. He hid in the shadows between two building in Daigon Alley he watched his grandson fight a gang of young wizards surrounding.

Angus kept on his toes fighting with his fists and spinning on his heels kicking wizards in the chest or face. Harry's heart stopped when he saw a young wizard use the killing spell only to nearly hit one his partners.

Angus appeared behind the wizard that had tried to assassinate him and he kicked him in the back. He turned to next person grabbed him and throw the other man into apparition. "You want to go assholes. Let's Go!" He roared at them.

The others ran immediately at the sight of his ability. Angus stood in place glaring at their retracting backs and spat blood on the street.

Harry could only stare in puzzlement. Angus was only fourteen. How the hell was he able to apparition let alone thrown an opponent into an apparition. He smiled slowly as he felt his body shake from his sickness. Angus was ready. He used the last of his energy to apparition to his room only to face a tall man with honey golden glowing eyes.

Harry stared at the stranger with a copy his face. "You can have me but leave my Angus alone."

The stranger shook his head. "I'm you, Harry. Well another you from another world. I'm here to take over your job protecting your family." He said and snatched the wand from Harry's hand.

Harry fell to the floor as his chest hurt and glared up at the stranger. "Your not going to beat him. My Angus is going to live and win against you and your master. He isn't going to have him. Your going to watch and see it."

"I agree with you. Our Angus is going to win against him but he needs several decades to contend with him. I'm going to see to our grandson meets the enemy that nearly destroyed his family. Rest well with your Ginny."
