Harry Potter and the Power of Gold

Chapter One: The Gift.

The summer before Harry's 6^thyear at Hogwarts was thankfully a quiet one. He mourned the death of his Godfather Sirius Black in private. He saw little of his friends and while he wrote them some letters but none of them detailed. His Aunt and Uncle did not pester the boy who lived very much although this was more the doing of the visits from the Order of the Phoenix. He didn't bother them and they didn't bother him except for doing the myriad of chores they had him doing since he was old enough to do them. He quietly celebrated his birthday on his own in his room as he had the last few years. A few days before the Hogwarts Express his Aunt and Uncle left him off in London to buy his supplies and wait there for the train. Harry didn't mind this too much since it got him out of the house much sooner than he hoped. Although he noticed the members of the order trying to keep out of site to his annoyance. He met his friends that day and together they picked up their supplies. When they eventually got on the train Harry hoped beyond hope that his sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry would be a quiet one. He couldn't be more wrong.

Professor Dumbledore stood up and addressed the students after the first years were sorted "Welcome Students to another year at Hogwart's. I trust the returning students have had a peaceful summer." Harry couldn't help but notice that Dumbledore was looking directly at him as he said that. "Unfortunately most of you will be pushed hard this year for the trying times ahead of us. Fortunately our new defense against the dark arts teacher this year will show you everything he can from his many years of experience. Please welcome Prof. Kokiri." Standing up at the end of the table was an older gentleman in a dark green hooded robe pulled up to cover most of his head. Except for his piercing blue eyes which studied the entire room and Harry noticed he his gaze lingered on him longer than anyone. He spoke after the applause died down. "Thank you students. Prof. Dumbledore was fortunate indeed in convincing me to come here to show all of you how to defend yourselves from the dark ones. I shall do all in my power to show you how to deal with all forms of creatures,spells and otherwise that shall threaten you. I look forward to a productive year." Harry again noticed his eyes meeting Harry's own green ones "A most productive year indeed."

The eye contact didn't go unnoticed by Harry's friends either. Ron leaned over and whispered "Harry have you met that guy before?"

"No. I've never seen the guy before in my life."

"Do you have any idea who that is?"

Then Hermione spoke her part "Our newest Professor is one of the Founding Aurors, but he's said to have been retired for almost a century. I thought he was dead."

Harry was astounded. "A century? How old is he?"

Ron never loosening the look of awe in his face as he said "No one really knows."

Hermione however had a look of worry on her face "I just don't like the look he gave you Harry."

While The Trio was discussing this Dumbledore finished his speech and dismissed the students. Harry however was stopped by The Headmaster himself. "Harry if you would come with me please."

"Of course Professor."

The Professor led Harry to his office where he had him take a seat. "Harry I know your curious why I've had you come here tonight."

"I kinda figured you wanted check up on me or something."

"Well there is that but I also wanted to give you your birthday present late as it maybe."

Harry was flustered for a moment "You really shouldn't have professor... you don't need to give me anything." Harry was then surprised by the serious look on the Professor's face.

"To be honest It wasn't too much trouble. Your father left this to me to give to you when you were old enough to have it. I had hoped you wouldn't ever need it." Then Dumbledore revealed to harry a beautiful longsword and handed it to Harry.

"This was my father's?"

"Yes it was. He told me it was in his family for generations. It is a very special sword."

"It looks like a normal sword to me."

Then from behind Harry a voice came "It shows what you know boy." Harry spun around to see Prof. Kokiri leaning against the door. "That is the sword of a Spellknight, a Spellblade. Those are extremely rare finds indeed. Look at the bottom of the hilt"

Harry did as he was told and noticed a small hole seemed to be drilled into the bottom of the hilt upwards threw it. "Why is there a hole in it?"

Dumbledore smiled "Why to hold the Spellknight's wand of course."

"What is a spellknight?"

Harry spun around again as the green hooded professor spoke once more "They were the precursors to the Aurors. They were masters of swordsmanship and wizardy. They placed their wands in special swords that increased their powers in order to defeat dark wizards."

"You mean my magic would be stronger if I put my wand in this?"

"Catch on quick don't you boy."

Dumbledore once again spoke up "Hopefully you won't need it however with Voldemort once again made whole I think sooner or later you will."

"I guess I'll have to learn how to use it then."

The Green clad one once again spoke. "With the wand in it, it works exactly like your wand would normally. As for how to actually wield the blade you will have to learn how. That is no toy child."

"I understand sir."

"Do you now. Well shall see tomorrow in class Harry. Albus you had better be right about this."

"I am Kokiri." Dumbledore spoke as the professor left the office.

"Ummm Professor did he dislike my father as well?"

The Headmaster's smile served to comfort Harry "No he didn't even know your father Harry. He just bears a heavy burden and for the first time is some while he feels its great weight once again. Well be off now and ready yourself Harry. I fear this will be an interesting year for you. A good nights sleep will help you deal with it."

Harry could only smile "When isn't it an interesting year for me Professor."

To Be Continued....

Next Time: Harry begins to learn how to properly wield a sword and unfortunately he shortly must put that practice into practice.

Harry Potter and the Power of Gold

Chapter Two: First Steps

The Next few days Went by quickly. Harry found himself working harder then he thought he would ,especially in Defense against the Dark Arts, but some how he enjoyed it. He suspected it was Hermione rubbing off on him. Then after about half way through September Ron gave something to Harry... a book.

"A book? From you Ron?"

"Well considering that you got that wicked sword I figured you might want to know how to actually wield it."

"Thanks Ron.... Now I got something else to take up my free time with."

"Well between you as seeker and me as keeper we got he cup all tied up this year so this might be something else for us to do."

"Us?"

"Yeah its better to practice with a partner then just standard forms besides... after last year we haven't done too much together."

"Ron I told you then and I'll tell you now don't worry about it but well isn't training with swords... I don't know dangerous. Hermione would throw a fit if she found out. Hell she gave me a lecture when she saw it."

Ron couldn't help but roll his eyes when Hermione was mentioned. "Harry.... ah never mind.... We won't use real ones you git. The school has wooden practice swords and a place to practice."

"Well it sounds fun to be honest. Oh why not."

"See and don't worry bout Hermione its not like you two are dating so no need to act like she's got you whipped."

"I am not whipped!"

"Ah so you are dating. Well then she must put out nicely"

"Ron.... if you know what's good for you shut up." Harry's eyes showed he meant business.

"Yikes! Ever consider getting those registered as lethal weapons?"

"Ron.... never mind.... so how about Saturday then for our first practice?

"Yea sure Harry. Remember to tell the misses."

"RON!" Fortunately for Ron shot out of their room before the pillow Harry threw could get to him."

That Saturday else where in the school Hermione was in the library attempting to dissuade her fears.

"It has to be here somewhere" she thought to herself. For the last hour she had tried digging threw every book searching for information about the legendary Auror. To some degree she had succeeded but not enough for her preference.

"Blast it there has to be something from before he became a Auror. It's like before then he didn't even exist. That's impossible. The fact he's been around for over 500 years with out the philosopher's stone is supposed to be impossible."

"BLAST THIS RABID CURIOISTY OF MINE!"

"SHHHHH!"The Librarian didn't seem to take to Hermione's outburst.

"Sorry"

"Perhaps you should spend sometime elsewhere Ms. Granger. Work off some of that excess energy like your friends are doing."

Hermione's rabid curiosity again got the better of her "What do you mean ma'am?"

"Well Ron Weasley was here the other day looking up books on sword fighting. I think he and Mr. Potter were planning on learning to use swords or something like that."

"Swords?!"

"Yes I pointed out to Ron that the school has a special training room for that."

Hermione eyes narrowed for a moment. "Where is it?"

Meanwhile elsewhere in the school Harry and Ron were starting to get the hang of the wooden swords when Harry stopped and shuddered.

Ron paused "You okay Harry?"

"I just had a very bad feeling."

"Your scar?"

"No.... I just have this feeling something.... no forget it."

Ron just looked at him warily "Okay"

Then once again they began to cross swords. Ron pressed Harry back using his superior height to his advantage. Then Harry backed off upsetting his balance Harry got himself behind Ron and put his sword at his back.

"I win"

"Okay that puts us at one duel each. We're both picking this up fast."

"I'm surprised you actually Read that first lesson Ron."

"Hey it was interesting. You act like I've never read a book before."

"Not saying its unheard of Ron but you have to admit it's a rare thing for Ronald Weasley to open up a book.

"Ha ha. Okay Potter. ON GUARD!"

"BRING IT!"

Once again the loud crack of wood on wood sounded out in the Room. Both boys smiled as their practice swords cracked against each other. Ron quickly took to the offense. Raining down blows all of which Harry was able to block.

"Come on Ron. I can see those coming a mile away."

"Okay then Harry then how about this!" Ron faked an overhead slash but then as Harry prepared to block it Ron kicked him in the gut knocking the breath out of the boy who lived and knocked him to the ground on his rear.

Ron was about to declare victory when he heard something that stopped him in his tracks. "RONALD WEASLEY!"

Both Ron and Harry's eyes went wide as they heard the voice of the third member of their trio ring out loudly. "Not good" they said in unison. Ron gave Harry a quick hand up and they both turned to the entrance where Hermione was standing in a near rage.

"What do you think you two idiots are doing?"

"Learning how to properly wield swords." They said in unison.

"ARE YOU INSANE! YOU TWO COULD CUT OFF A LIMB WITH ONE OF THOSE BLASTED THINGS!

Ron just calmly looked over to his friend "You think she would notice these are WOODEN swords."

"Ron you're not helping"

"So what if they are. You still could break something."

Ron just looked at her blankly "Well, we haven't broken anything yet..."

Hermione focused her glare at Harry "Harry wouldn't you like for one year here not to spend any time in Madam Pomfrey's care?"

Harry then got an indignant look on his face "Wait why did you assume that I'm the one who'd end up hurt? I can take care of myself. Besides last year I wasn't in the Hospital"

"Harry I just don't want to see you hurt."

"Hermione... I have to do something. Voldemort is out there now, with a physical body and he's out to get me. After last year and what happened I've just got this feeling that my skills as a wizard just aren't enough. I know I'll need other skills, plus Prof. Kokiri said the sword would increase the power of my magic."

Hermione calmed down "All right you do have a point. I guess you can learn but only under my supervision."

Ron just rolled his eyes and both him and Harry replied "Yes mother!"

"You know you try and show some concearn and this is the thanks I get. See If I help you any more this year."

"Come on Hermione we were kidding." Harry then elbowed Ron "Weren't we Ron."

"Yeah come on. You know us."

"All right Harry I forgive you." She paused for a second "This time" Hermione then turned around and left Harry following along.

Ron stood there for a second "Hey. What about me? Hermione! What about me?"

Two weeks later the trio was in their Care of Magical Creatures class with the Slytheren. The class progressed as normal.

Draco sneered as Hagird came out of his hut. "So what kind of abomination are making us put up with today."

"Actualty today we havn' got anything to show ya. I have to tell ya bout some creatures that must be avoided at all costs. Nasty ones these are. Nutthin redemin bout em

Everyone standing there outside was in a total state of shock and Ron summed it up for everyone "I never thought I'd hear those words come out of Hagrid's mouth. Now I know the world's ending."

At this point both Crabby and Doyle stepped behind Draco shaking slightly. Fortunately for them just about everyone else there was almost as scared as them, execpt for Harry "Who are you and what have you done with Hagrid?"

"Its me Harry, Its just that these things only hurt. They do nothing but attack muggles and wizards alike."

Hermione collected her jaw off the ground and composed herself "Well then what are you going to tell us about then?"

"Well the first creature is known as a Moblin."

"A moblin?" was the collective response.

Hermione asked the obvious question "Hagrid are they related to goblins?"

At first they were goblins but long ago a dark and powerful wizard changed them. He made them bigger stronger, and angrier. They can barly stand each other, much less any one else."

Harry voiced his question "Who was that dark wizard?"

"No one really knows Harry. It was a very long time ago."

Then before Hagrid could continue something shot out of the forbidden forest. It was only about 3 inches tall at the maximum but it was fast. Quickly it was in Harry's face. He noticed it was female and looked very human except for the small insect like wings on her back. "YOU GOTTA HELP ME! THEIR COMING FOR ME!"

Harry quickly replied "Who?"

Then he heard from the forest a warcry. Thundering from the forest were 10 vaguely humanoid shapes but as they came closer and Harry got a look at their faces he could see they resembled the faces of bulldogs. Then he heard Hadgrid growl "Moblins... it had to be moblins."

As the moblins charged many of the students ran, Draco leading the way.

Harry called out "Any advice Hagrid?"

Hagrid pulled his crossbow out of his large ever present coat "I'll take care of them just get yerself outta here!"

Harry looked over to Ron and Hermione "You heard him. GO!" The voice he used made sure they knew it was no request. As they got some distance Harry pulled out his wand "ACCIO SPELLBLADE!" Then everything seemed to be in a haze and the family sword flew from the school into Harry's hand and as if driven by instinct he slid in the wand. Quickly the haze disappeared and he spun around and readied himself.

As soon as he Did he saw a Moblin charging right for him a club ready to bash him "DIE HUMAN!

"BRING IT!"

To Be Continued...

Next Time: Harry talks with several of the teacher about the incident and find out the name of our new visitor to Hogwarts. Next Chapter First Impressions.

Author's notes: Well this is the revised version of Chapter 2. Not to much changed here either . Well please leave a review and let me know what you think for good or ill.

Harry Potter and the Power of Gold

Chapter Three: First Impressions

That night in Dumbledore's office several people were gathered. Their discussion was on the incident at Hagrid's hut that day. There were four in attendance, Harry Potter, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Deputy Headmaster Minerva McGonagall, and DADA teacher Professor Kokiri.

Professor McGonagall was nearly livid "What did yo think you were doing young man? What if you were killed?"

Harry only just sat there and replied "Well I guess then Voldemort would be pissed he didn't get to do it."

His joke didn't go over very well "Well you are a witty one aren't you boy. You were lucky out there Potter." The DADA teacher stepped in front of Harry "We don't need you playing hero. Leave that to professionals."

Harry got indignant "My FRIEND was in trouble. I had to do something. So I summoned my sword."

Kokiri spoke calmly "Then why didn't you get another teacher."

"Someone else would have. I felt I could help more there."

Then a fifth voice was heard "Hey don't I get a say in this?"

Dumbledore replied "Why yes my good fairy... I'm sorry I don't believe I have caught your name yet?"

She flew up to Dumbledore "My name sir is Navi"

At this Prof. Kokiri looked over to her "That's an interesting name."

"Yes my mother named me after a great fairy queen."

"Well little one you were about to say."

She frowned at the little "As I was about to say if it wasn't for Harry here I would have ended up dead or worse at the Moblin's hands. He's a hero. He's my hero and what kind of world do we live in if we punish heroes."

Harry scowled "A cursed one."

Both Professors McGonagall and Dumbledore gave the boy who lived an inquisitive look that he either missed or ignored they couldn't tell. Dumbledore spoke first "Well that is true enough and no harm was done. Harry you did good to help your friend and in doing so you earned yourself a new one. Please do however not take too many risks. You are far too important to too many people to lose. Now off you go."

As Harry and Navi left Dumbledore turned to Prof. McGonagall "Minerva I'm beginning to worry about Harry. He's hiding his emotions more and more I feel."

Minvera sat down "True and If I'm right that won't help him with her. I thinks she's trying to reach out to him but he's either ignorant of it or ignoring it."

Kokiri got an annoyed look "The boys personal life will fix itself McGonagall... the fact that the Moblins are making moves means V's making a move for it now. Albus are you sure its properly hidden? He's already got one part."

A short time later as Harry and Navi, who had decided to stay by her new hero, entered the Gryffindor common room and were greeted with a resounding shout of congratulations for his victory over the Moblins.

Harry was surprised by this and it showed. Ron quickly came dragged Harry over to the group. "Come on hero. Time to have some fun."

"Ron really its not necessary."

"Oh yes it is. Harry you took down 3 moblins in no time at all. You did every Gryffindor here proud."

Harry looked around but couldn't see Hermione in the crowd. "Ron, is she still upset at me?"

Ron just stared at him for a second "No I don't think she's angry. You did worry her though. She's here somewhere."

Navi decided to make herself known "Harry you going to introduce me?"

"Oh sorry Navi. Navi meet Ron my best friend. Ron this is Navi."

"Hello Navi. See my sister bout joining the HP fangirl group."

Harry growled "Rooooooooon."

"Just kidding Harry."

The impromptu party went on for an hour or two and as it was winding down Harry found Hermione sitting silently on a small padded bench in a small nook in the common room hidden by curtains and shadows.

"I've been looking for you all night Hermione."

"Really I've been here the whole time."

"I see." An awkward silence settled over the pair until Harry worked up the courage to speak again. "Hermione are you still upset at me?"

"No"

"Are you sure"

"Yes"

"Don't lie to me Hermione. I want, no I need you to be honest with me."

Hermione just looked at him with a sad look in her eyes "Harry I'm not upset with you. You just scare the living daylights out of me."

Harry sat down next to her "Hermione, I'm sorry."

"No your not Harry. You just do what you think you should do and consequences be damned."

"Hermione, that's not fair and you know it. What else could I do let Hagrid fight them alone?"

"You're right Harry its not fair. You know what else is not fair. That you seem to be eternally in the middle of it all. Why do you always have to be dragged into these things."

Harry stood there for a moment and got a serious look on his face. "Its my fate. That was what was in the prophecy. Dumbledore knew it and told it to me last year. It was told right before I was born."

Hermione looked at Harry with a worried expression "Harry you don't.."

"I have to. I have to tell some one the reason why he wants me dead"

Harry stood silent again and then began to speak in a somber voice. "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches.... Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal, but he has the power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hands of the other for neither can live as the other survives..."

Harry seemed then to be far older than he actually was "Part of that got back to him, that's why fifteen years ago he came to my home and killed my parents and tried to kill me. I have to be the one to do it Hermione. It can only be me." Harry seems to glare at his clenched fist in front of his face. "If I have to die doing it Voldemort will pay."

Hermione got a fearful look in her eyes "Harry promise me you won't."

"I'm not.."

"Promise me!"

Harry sat down next to her and moved closer. "I won't... I can't see the future believe me I've got the headaches to prove it, but Hermione.." His face closed in on hers "I will always." As he spoke his face only got closer to hers.

Suddenly Navi, glowing, flew in "Oh here you are Harry" Quite quickly the two teens jumped apart "Did I interrupt something?"

"NO" they said in unison.

Navi spun around "HEY RON I FOUND THEM!"

Ron stepped into the shadowed nook and smirked then Navi spoke "So hero you going to introduce me to your significant other?"

Hermione blushed "No you misunderstand. We're just friends."

Ron's smirk only grew "Suuuuure."

Hermione stood up "I'm tired so I'm going to sleep now. See you in the morning Harry." She gave Ron and Navi short glares and walked to her room"

Harry yawned and excused himself and did the same. Ron then looked over to the small fairy "Are you thinking what I'm thinking."

Navi thought for a second "Yes but where are we going to find that much gelatin and firewhiskey."

"That's not exactly what I was thinking but I like how you think."

"Well Ronny-boy I knew you would. Now I have a way to repay my hero and cute accomplice to do it."

"They'll never know what hit them, but one question, where are you staying?"

"Its been arranged I'll be here in the tower. If you're good I'll show you sometime" she said with a wink. She then flew off disappearing up the stairs.

Ron stood their for a second "Size differences suck."

To be continued...

Next time: We see Professor Kokiri in his class and Harry will get a taste the DADA's skills with a blade.
