Prologue: The Discovery -------------------------- Harry walked along the corridor toward Gryffindor tower. He had finished his classes a little earlier than he had planned. And so he was alone and bored. He rounder a corner and leaned against the wall for a moment trying to think of something to do, for it wasn't often that Harry was alone but today Hermione was still in class and Ron was off polishing his racing broom. Suddenly the brick that Harry was leaning on shifted like it was a hidden switch and a portrait of Godric Gryffindor slide to side revealing a secret passageway. Harry stepped into the passage and took out the marauder map that he always carried opening he studied it for several minutes. “That's funny,” he said to himself, “this passage isn't on the map.” It was at this point that his curiosity threw his better judgment out the window and he continued down the passageway he descended a flight of stood steps and came to a stop in the middle of a huge stone room with a raised pedestal in the middle of it was a red cedar chest with the Gryffindor seal on it. Harry stepped forward and touched the padlock tentatively. He jumped when the look sprang open with a loud click. Harry slowly reached into the chest and pulled out a hooded red cloak. Harry gasped, “This is Godric Gryffindor's cloak!” Removing his own outer robe he put cloak on. And when he did he was surprised to find out that he and Gryffindor must have been about the same height because the cloak fit him perfectly. Reaching back he pulled the hood on. Suddenly the cloak seemed to come alive with energy. Electric blue energy bolts began to ripple across the cloak and through Harry. Harry was levitated up off the ground by the force of it. Suddenly there was a massive explosion of energy that just as quickly imploded back it to Harry's chest. As quickly as it started it was over and Harry dropped back to the ground. Immediately he noticed something was different his vision was blurry, but when took off his glasses his vision was clear. “Well,” he said, “that energy what ever it was seems to have corrected my eyesight.” He looked at his watch, “I'd better get back to the common roo-,” suddenly there was flash of light and the next thing he was standing in the Gryffindor common room. “OH BOY,” --> 2. The Date ----------- Chapter 1 The Date Harry stood in his room at #4 Privet drive as he very begrudgingly pulled on a pair black pants, a dark red button up shirt, and black leather jacket. This was an outfit that Hermione had given him for his birthday. This outfit was his idea of getting dressed up. He had all but forgotten the little incident with the cloak at school. He had fled from the common room before Ron and Hermione had returned from class and had hidden the cloak in his closet. He left it there when it came time to return to privet drive. His relatives never liked it when he brought things home from school anyway. “I can't believe this,” he muttered, “ So aunt Petunia's precious Duddykins finally landed a date, why does that mean I have to go.” Petunia had muttered something about not wanting some hussy taking advantage of her Duddykins and that she and Vernon were going out that night and that they weren't about to leave Harry alone in the house. So they insisted that Dudley take Harry along despite his moaning and wailing. They refused to change their minds this time. Taking a deep breath Harry walked down the stairs to the living room Petunia announced that he and Dudley would be meeting Dudley's date at the movie theater on Main Street and that one of Dudley's gang a guy named Dutch would be joining them with his date. They went down to the corner. Dudley and one of his friends rode the bus. Harry had to walk the three blocks. But he didn't mind He had time. He walked toward the theater taking his time as he went. Just as he past a store with large front windows he stopped short. His reflection was standing there wearing the Gryffindor cloak over the outfit he had on and his reflection was also wearing silver metal griffins head manacles and on the face of the reflection was a silver mask. When he looked away and looked back his reflection was normal in appearance again. “That was weird,” the thought as he continued on his way to the movie theater. When he arrived at the movie theater the movie had already started, it was called THE THING. Of course Harry knew what Dudley was up to when he picked out the movie in the paper earlier that day, it was the old get- you-date- to - throw- her -arms - around- you- by - taking- her- to - a -scary- movie routine. Harry slipped into the movie theater and got a look at Dudley's date She was actually not that bad looking. “I wonder what he's holding over he heard,” Harry thought with wry sarcasm. Harry sat down with the box of popcorn that he bought at the concession stand and was in the middle of nibbling on a hand full of kernels when there came the sound of a muffled scuffle in the back left corner of the room, follow but the sound of a sharp blow and a man falling to the floor moaning in intense pain. Finally in the light from the doorway that an usher opened Harry saw the man drag himself to his feet and hobble out with his knees turned in toward each other. “Yeow,” Said Harry, “I can tell by the way that guy is walking where that last blow landed.” With the doors closed Harry turned around in his seat and when back to watching the movie. Suddenly he became aware of a shapely shadow standing next to him in the aisle. “Is that seat taken.” The shadow whispered pointing to the empty seat next to Harry, Harry shook his head and motion for her to have seat. After she sat down he held out his handful of popcorn. She took a piece from his hand and popped into her mouth. “Well,” thought Harry, “maybe this evening won't be so boring after all.” * * * * * * * “Are you sure of your information, Kellas?” said an evil looking man in a green hooded cloak. “Yes My lord Malchalel (Mal-Ka- LeL), the power of the cloak has been activated again by a sixteen year old boy.” Malchalel drummed his fingers on the armrest of the elevated chair that he was sitting in. He began to speak to no one in particular. “Centuries ago, Gryffindor used his most secret power the Elemental 5 to defeat Salazar Slytherin and drive him out of Hogwarts. He said that he would leave his greatest powers behind hidden in that cloak and that whoever was most trustworthy would be infused with these powers when he wore the cloak. Now is the time to strike before this boy realizes how powerful he has become. With him out of the way I can finish work of purging the school of those filthy Mudblood half-breeds!” * * * * * * * Harry walked out of the movie theater shaking his head. “Who writes that stuff and where did they find a studio desperate enough to make THAT into a movie.” He thought. “What did you think of the movie?” asked a bystander in the lobby of the theater building. “I think they ought to shred and burn the film and then scalp the producer just for good measure.” “You've got that right,” said a very familiar female voice behind him. “Hermione!” Said Harry with a smile as he turned to face her. Neither of them could say anything more they Heard Dudley yell, “Come on prat! We're going to get something to eat.” Harry turned to Hermione. “Would you care to join me? Since I have a feeling that it was you're date that went hobbling out of the theater a little while ago with his nuts in a sling.” Hermione snickered, “You're right,” she said, “ he tried to stick his hand up my blouse so I had to take some preventative measures.” “What did you hit him with anyway?” asked Harry. In answer Hermione took off one of her stiletto- heeled shoes and held it up. “In experienced hands stilettos are more than just dressy shoes,” she said with a grin. “That hurts me just thinking about it,” Said Harry with a wince. Hermione took Harry's arm and they walked toward the restaurant together. In the shadows nearby stood three figures with glowing red eyes watching and waiting. TBC PLEASE REVIEW --> 3. Emergence ------------ **Emergence** Harry and Hermione walked into the swank restaurant that Dudley had chosen. Harry new that Vernon Had probably given Dudley a pocket full of money so he could go all out to impress this girl. Harry had promised that he would stay with Dudley so very reluctantly he and Hermione sat down at the table with the other two couples. The table was a huge booth. Hermione and Harry sat on one side While Dudley Dutch and their dates sat on the other side. “Everyone,” said Harry, “this is Hermione Granger.” Dutch extended his hand. “Keller, Dutch Keller,” he said in his best James Bond imitation. “Hermione,” Mione replied, “Formally known as not impressed.” Harry suppressed a snicker at the way Hermione shut Dutch down. “So,” said Dudley with a sneer, “Pothead has found himself a little w---,”suddenly before he could say the next word he felt Harry's foot on the top of his. Harry deliberately dug his heel into Dudley's big toe. “Be nice, Dudley,” Harry said through clenched teeth. Then Harry moved his jacket slightly so Dudley could see the wand that was hanging on his belt, “or else,” Dudley decided it would be in his best interest not to finish that sentence. Dudley's date, an attractive blond named Debby, looked at Harry admiringly while he studied the menu. She leaned over to the other girls at the table. “I had no Idea Dudley had such a scrumptious cousin I wander what the rest of him looks like,” she giggled wickedly. Dudley who was reading his favorite form of literature, a menu, missed the whole thing. Harry however heard everything and was in the middle of turning red behind the menu when noticed that Hermione wasn't amused in fact she was giving Debby a look that could have quite easily scared a Basilisk. But Debby was to busy talking to the other girl to notice. Harry forgot about being embarrassed, his face took on a puzzled look instead. He leaned toward Hermione. “Is something wrong, Mione?” he asked. Her face instantly changed back to a sweet smile. “No,” she said, then immediately went back to reading her menu leaving Harry even more puzzled. “Could Hermione be jealous? Nah couldn't be,” he thought. Just then the waiter walked up. “Are you ready to order?” he asked “Yes,” said Dudley motioning himself and his buddy, “the four of us will have the roast beef dinner.” “Very good sir,” said the waiter who then turned to Harry, “and for you and your lady sir. Dudley sat there with a smirk on his face expecting to be able to lord his exquisite meal over Harry. But before Harry could speak Hermione spoke up. “I believe we'll have two of the house T-bone steaks with all the trimmings and the spicy steak fries of course and the Double Chocolate Secret for dessert.” She said “Bravo, Mademoiselle,” said the waiter, “you must have known that this restaurant serves the best steak in the city and only as select few of out patrons know of the DOUBLE chocolate Secrets dessert. Your food will be here in a few minutes. Harry leaned back in his seat after the waiter lift and felt like thumbing his nose at Dudley who was now sitting there looking completely mortified. Dudley regained his composure, “There's no way that you have enough money to afford that,” He snapped, “in this place on house T-bone costs thirty pounds!” Before Harry could answer all the eyes at the table turned to Hermione who was making a big show of holding up a rather thick clip of paper money while she searched for something in her purse. Dropping the money clip back into the purse she pulled out her lip-gloss and put some on. Harry sighed in relief and leaned back in his chair again. “Why should she by your dinner, Harry,” Dudley snapped. In answer Hermione pulled Harry's arm around her and snuggled up against him. “What's wrong with a girl pampering her favorite fella, once in a while?” she said By this time Dudley was getting frustrated at not being able to win this argument and Harry was a certain that the temperature in the room had just is risen ten degrees, he was also certain that if Hermione's lips got any closer to his neck his collar was going to start smoking. The food came and they began to eat, they were almost done with the main course when suddenly Harry became aware of the fact that someone was rubbing her foot up and down his right shin and from the angle he knew that it wasn't Hermione. He guessed that it was probably Debby. Harry was just beginning to wander what he was going to do when suddenly he felt something move at lightening speed under the table and connect with the leg that was on his shin. “ARRGH,” Debby yelped falling off the end of the seat and landing in the floor. As Dudley helped Debby to her feet Harry saw an ugly bruise already forming over the top of her left ankle. Harry stole a glance at Hermione who was sitting there finishing her steak and looking innocent. Before Harry could say anything to anybody he felt a strange chill come from the back of his neck and all the way to his eyes in a split second. He saw a flash of white light before his eyes and all at once he was looking a three men who where out in the parking lot and about to come in to the restaurant they were carrying sawed-off shotguns. The picture faded and all at once he found himself sitting at the table inside. “Harry,” whispered Hermione, “are you alright, you zoned out for a second!” when she said that Harry realized that he had just had a vision of some sort. A split second later the front door was blown off its hinges and the three men that he had seen in the parking lot rushed in wearing ski masks. “Everybody on the ground!!” Their leader yelled. The people in the restaurant got down on the floor next to their tables. “Don't worry,” Dudley said to Debby, “Your safe with me I'll be your knight in shining armor.” Just then one of the bad guys fired a warning round into the ceiling. Dudley yelped and stuck his head under the table under the edge of the tablecloth that hung to the floor. Harry rolled his eyes, “Your knight in shining armor,” he said, “more like your sissy in a double knit sweater!” Suddenly there was a shotgun pointed straight at Harry's head. “Valuables in the bag,” the man growled then he saw Hermione, “well, well,” he said in an oily voice, “what have we here, how `bout a little company sweetheart.” Harry jumped to his feet, “You lay one finger on her and I'll-,' he never finished because the man pulled the trigger and shot Harry point blank in the chest blowing him backwards through the window into the parking lot. “HARRY!!!” screamed Hermione. Harry rolled to a stop out of sight then setup realizing that he wasn't in any pain, more to the point he hadn't felt a thing. He felt himself up and down. “I'm not hurt,” he exclaimed. Standing up he found himself wearing the Gryffindor cloak, the mask and the manacles, and that his shirt had turned black with silver streaks that came down from the shoulders and connecting in the middle of his chest making a large V. Inside the restaurant the thug had pushed Hermione down on a table and was trying to unbutton her blouse when all a suddenly the wall behind him was blown out and in walked a man wearing a red cloak with a silver mask and manacles. Harry wasn't sure what he was doing he seemed to be running on instincts that he didn't even know he had. The thugs started shooting at him but the gunfire ricocheted of an electric blue energy shield that only became visible when something hit it. Harry grabbed the first man twisted the shotgun barrel like it was made of taffy and threw him across the restaurant like it didn't take any effort. Then the other two thugs charged him Harry did a spinning jump kick and knock out the first of the two then he hit the third one in the stomach with a lightening bolt and blew him against the wall where he slumped to the ground still twitching. And just like that it was over. Harry stood there for a moment at the shocked faces of the people around him then he turned and walked toward the hole he had blown in the wall. “WAIT!” someone shouted, “who are you?” Harry had to think of something fast finally he looked back and said, “Lord Gryffindor.” TBC PLEASE REVIEW --> 4. Good, Bad, and Worse ----------------------- **CHAPTER 4** Hermione raced out into the parking lot, “Harry, Harry!” she said running around the corner of the building as she rounded the corner of the building she saw Harry changing back to normal. Then he disappeared around the opposite corner. She thought about going after him but she changed her mind. “He'll tell me when he's ready,” she said to herself then looking back in the direction he had going she added, “I just hope he doesn't wait to long.” The morning came and all of England was Abuzz with the news. A Masked man in a red cloak with superpowers had stopped and armed robbery at a restaurant in Surrey last night. He had called himself Lord Gryffindor. The Headlines in the Surrey Newspaper read, **“SUPERNATURAL HERO FOILS ARMED ROBBERY.”** Harry dropped the newspaper on the table, “Great, Just Great,” he said, “If Snape finds out that it's me he'll nail my hide to the wall.” In the other room Harry could hear Dudley telling his parents about how brave he was when the robbers came. Harry rolled his eyes and walked up the stairs to his room. Harry walked into his room and sat down on his bed. “What has that cloak done to me?” he said to himself. Walking over to the window he stood there looking out of it when he heard to girls on the street below. “Did you see his eyes?” asked the first girl. “Yes,” said the second girl, “they were the most beautiful shade of emerald green. That Lord Gryffindor is a major hottie!” Harry decided not to appear as Lord Gryffindor again and he hoped that the hoopla would die down too. That afternoon Harry decided to take a walk as he rounded the corner near the grocery store, he saw two men pulling a struggling woman into the alley. Harry broke into a run when rounded the corner he found himself staring at three Zombie- like creatures with red eyes. “Oh boy,” said Harry. No sooner had he said that than a bolt of energy was fired at him only to be deflected by the mysterious energy shield that now surrounded him. Harry suddenly found himself dressed in the red cloak and Mask. The three creatures charged, but all of a sudden there was an explosion like a sonic wave that exploded out from Him in all directions flattening his attackers. The he found himself standing on the top of a rocky ridge and facing him was a tall dark haired man of about 30 years of age with a trimmed beard. He was wearing a red cloak and on his belt was a very familiar sword. There seemed to be a very familiar sort of twinkle in his eyes. “I am Lord Godric Gryffindor and if you are seeing this memory,” he said, “that means that the Cloak has bestowed the power that I left behind on you it also means that you must be my blood descendant for only blood of my blood could open the secret chamber where the cloak was hidden. Once the Wizard known as Slytherin allied himself with one of the most evil creatures of the age and they tried to take over our school by force. The Gauntlets gave me the power I needed to defeat them both. You are now Lord Gryffindor. The Gauntlets will automatically protect you until you have mastered your new powers As long as you wear the gauntlets you are a champion and protector of all that is good. I wish you well Lord Gryffindor.” And with that the memory ended and found him-self standing in the alley. Suddenly there was an ear-piercing squeal behind him. He turned around and saw 15 girls about his own age running toward him. “Yikes!!” he hollered and took off running he raced down the alley and around the corner as soon as he was out of sight the cloak, manacles and mask disappeared and he was back to normal. Just then the girls came around the corner and stopped when they saw Harry. “Did you see Lord Gryffindor come by here?” they asked Harry pointed “He went that way.” The girls took off running and Harry breathed a sigh of relief, “I `m glad that's over with!” her turned around and started off in the other direction. He rounded the corner and bumped into Debby. “Hello Harry,” she said in a sultry voice. She started to walk towards Harry with a little more swing in her hips than usual. “Help,” thought Harry. * * * * * Lord Malchalel stood admiring the fruits of his latest work. There in front of him stood a carbon copy of Harry except this Harry has snow white Hair and a white lightning bolt scar. He stood there clothed in a green Slytherin cloak. “Well now my new Lord of Slytherin.” He said, “Your mission is to capture Lord Gryffindor.” The evil Harry clone stepped forward and gave an evil grin. “He won't know what hit him!!” -->
