Dead World

Chapter 4

The next day came way to early for Harry and company. Everyone stumbled into the kitchen rubbing the sleep out of their eyes and yawning. Dobby popped in with breakfast and several pots of coffee then sat down to wait for everybody to start eating.

"Dobby and Kreature thinks that Hogwarts would be better place to stay. It be bigger, and if we finds more people then theys have place to stay. Hogwarts elves will helps look for others." Dobby said.

"I was thinking that as well. Do you think we could extend the wards to cover the forest and the village?" Harry asked.

"No not we...but yous could and only yous."

"What do you mean by only Harry could?" Remus asked.

"He be last heir so only he can." Kreatue said as he popped in.

"Last heir... Last heir to who?" Flitwick squeaked out the question.

"The Founders, Merlin, Potter, Black, and Perverille." Harry said.

Everyone just stared at Harry with sily slack-jawed expressions. Then the twins started laughing holding their sides. Soon the rest joined in causing Harry to blush and squim under their oh-so-not-funny giggles.

"Laugh it up guys, but remember I control the wards." He said and instantly the laughter stopped.

"Now I have some floo calls to make, to see if anyone else is alive. I want all of you to go through everything in this house and pack up anything that could be useful. I mean everything, even if it is dark in nature. If it could help us, then it comes with us to the castle." he said as he headed out of the kitchen towards the floo.

"I suggest we eat fast boys, I think we are going to be in the shite soon." Sirius said as he filled his plate. The rest followed and soon had their own plates filled and began eating. Once everyone had finished eating Kreature left with a pop.

"You heards Harry Potter sir. Let's get going. We only has short time before those things be getting in here. They will gets in by noons. We must hurry." Dobby said while he started to pack the kitchen up.

The rest ran out of the kitchen to start on seperate rooms. Flitwick took the library and just packed everything in several trunks. Sirius took the attic and the upstairs bedrooms. He didn't even look through anything just packed it all up. Everyone else took the guest rooms, study, parlor, and the living room. Kreature took the basement, potions lab, and the secret room behind his old mistress. When they were done packing the house was bare, and they were ready for food. Dobby handed out sandwiches and butterbeer and they waited for Harry.

Meanwhile Harry had been making frantic floo calls to anyone he could remember seeing at Hogwarts. He started his calls with the quiditch team.

He threw floo powder into the fire and called out, "Oliver Wood". He stuck his head in the fire and waited. Nobody was around in the room that he could see so he called out for Oliver. He waited a few minutes and was about to pull his head back when he heard a scraping noise. It was coming from behind the couch. Slowly a bloody arm came into view, inch by bloody inch. It grasped for purchase on the hardwood floor and soon the head of Oliver appeared from behind the couch. It was covered in blood, his hair was caked with it, he was missing an ear, and his left eye was dangling from the socket. Other than the scraping noise it made, their was no other sounds. Harry pulled his wand and fired a reducto into his head and closed the floo. He wiped the tears from his eyes and made another call, this time to Luna.

The floo flared once more and he stuck his head in. He frantically called for Luna. There was no answer at first, but then a strangely dressed elf popped in. Miss Luna is with her Neville. Those things be trying to get in here. I can'ts hold thems off much longer."

"Ok, then I authorise you to pop to Black Manor, Grimauld Place London, as Head of the Blacks." Harry said.

"Thanks you Harry Potter sir." the elf said and with a pop reappeared next to Harry. As soon as the elf was gone from Luna's house, there was an enormous crash and then Harry saw dozens of the undead flood into the house. He immediately cancelled the call and then called Neville.

The floo flared once again and Harry stuck his head in. As soon as he did he heard a wonderful sound, People... talking.

"I hope Harry is alright." Neville said to Luna and his gran.

"Oh he is. I know he is. Nothing can stop our Harry." Luna said as she looked at the floo and winked at Harry.

"That's right Luna. Nothing can stop your Harry." he said.

"Harry! Am I glad to see you. We didn't know where your house is, so we couldn't come for you. The dead... have risen... and they eat the living. Are you alright? Where are you? Anyone else alive?" Neville said rapid fire at the floo.

"I'm fine. I know. I was stuck at my relatives until last night. Yes, there are others but not many. You guys need to pack everything you want to keep and come to #12. Wards are failing all over and those things are getting into places. They busted into Luna's place. Your elf is here with me by the way. You only have maybe 3 hours before your wards fall. Hurry up and come here. I've got a few more more calls to make and then we will be heading directly to Hogwarts. I'll give you two hours to show up and then I'll come get you."

"We're on it Harry. We'll see you in one hour."

"Why don't you use the DA medallions? That way all those still alive know where to go." Luna said in her dreamy voice.

"That is a wonderful idea Luna. I'll do that in a bit, but I still have a few personal calls to make to some that were not in the DA." Harry said.

"Your welcome Harry. Bye se you in one hour."

He closed the call and continued on with his task, this time calling those not in the DA. "Daphne Greenrass." he called out and stuck his head in the floo. Screaming was the first thing that assaulted his ears, then the breaking of furniture, and then curses.

"Hang on, I'm coming! WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T LET THEM BITE YOU!" he screamed into the floo, then pulled his head back. He stood up grabbed his sword and wand jumped into the floo and called out for Greengrass Manor, and was whisked away by green flames.

"What the hell does he think he is doing? The floo won't let him through...he's not keyed into the wards... they'll kill him." Daphne screamed to Tracey as they tried to seal off the room from the undead.

"This is Harry you're talking about. He can do the impossible." She grunted back as they heaved a bookcase infront of the door. Undead hands were pushing on the door trying to get at the fresh meat. The windows in the library smashed and more dead hands were reaching in and trying to pull themselves into the room.

"Wll whatever he has planned he better do it soon."

Just then the heard the floo in the other room go off and then spell fire. "Reducto, reducto, reducto, bombarda, bombarda, protego...reducto..Fuck! Hang on girls! I'l be there in a minute."

"What the hell? He shouldn't have been able to get in."

"Who cares you twit as long as we get rescued."

Thud..thud... splat...slat...bang... grunt...thud..thud...bang...bang..thud...splat...

"What is he doing? Can you see?" Daphne asked.

"Don't know, you can ty to look if you want, but I'm fine hiding in here."

Then they heard an enormous boom, followed by a crash, then a roar.

"Bloody hell! What is that thing?" he said.

Then the sound of a gunshot was heard, then an enormous thud. Several more gun shots sounded, then thuds. Black blood ran under the door and into the library. Slowly the horde of undead fell under Harry's assault. Finally he called out to the girls.

"All clear. HURRY UP AND GET OUT HERE BEFORE MORE SHOW UP! WE'RE HEADED TO A SAFE HOUSE THEN HOGWARTS."

The door opened and showed two very bloody and messy girls. They ran to him and started to cry, while holding him.

"We don't have a lot of time. Grab some extra clothes and let's go."

The two finally got a good look at the room and almost puked. The stench was horrid, and the blood was black. It covered the floor, walls, the bodies and Harry. They sprinted up the stairs and were back in two minutes with an armful of clothes each. He grabbed them tight and apparated directly to Grimauld Place. He was met by Remus and Flitwick with wands drawn.

"You've been gone for 15 minutes! What the bloody hell were you thinking?" Remus screamed.

"I needed to rescue some friends." he said pointing to the crying girls.

Flitwick pointed his wand at them and ran a scan. "Neither have been scratched or bitten. They are clean."

"Good, get them clean and if you are done head to Hogwarts. I still have several calls to make, Neville will be here in 45 minutes with his gran and Luna."

"Harry, I'll be staying with you, so if you decide on another rescue you'll have backup." Remus said.

"Fine, but get a sword. You'll need it."

The others left to get cleaned up and Harry returned to his calls. He called Angela, and Alicia but they weren't home. He called Katie and was suprised to see she was holding her own against a horde trying to get into her house.

"KATIE! Are Angela and Alicia here with you?"

"Yes! Can't talk now! Trying to kill these things you know."

Rolling his eyes he replied, "Well I'm here to rescue you guys. Floo over now. Black Manor #12 Grimauld Place. It is secure at the moment." Then he pulled his head back and waited. Not two minutes later tge three girls were in a heap on the floor covered in soot.

"Get moving, we will be heading to Hogwarts in 20 minutes. I've got one more call to make, then it is just escape time." he said as he shooed them away into Remus' arms. He stuck his head into the fire and called for Susan. He was greeted by screaming and the undead piling into the house from every window and doir on the first floor. "SHIT! Hang on Susan...help is on the way!"

He pulled his head back out, stood, grabbed his sword one of his guns, looked at Remus and saud, "Rescue time," and jumped into the floo calling out Bones Manor.

"Girls find the others and tell them Harry is in rescue mode." Then Remus jumped into the floo, following Harry into the abyss.

"Let's get going...we need to be ready to leave soon." Katie said.

The other two just nodded and followed her into the kitchen where they found the twins.

As Harry stepped out of the floo he started firing his gun. The undead started going diwn, but more we're coming in. He shot the gun until it became too hot to handle, then switched to his sword. With reflexes of a seeker, and battle birn instincts he charged into the crowd that was trying to get up the stairs tiwards Susan and whoever was with her. He lopped off heads, pierced eyes, split skulls, hacked arms, cut off legs and they still kept coming. He spotted Remus wading into battle trying to seal the windows and doors, but it was proving difficult. Deciding that the house was a lost cause he called to Remus.

"Get Susan and whoever is with her to #12. I'm going to burn them all."

"Don't take too long. I can't apparate there."

"Call Dobby when you have them, be careful. You can't be turned, but you can still die if swarmed."

"Got it." He said as he hacked his way up the stairs to search for Susan. He called out for her several times until he heard her reply from a room at the end of the hall.

"Hurry, they are almost through the closet door!"

Remus ran the length of the hall and burst into the room. He spotted about 10 of the undead banging on a door with muffled screaming, and spell casting coming from inside.

"I'll have you out in a minute. Harry is downstairs and will be lighting this place up. Hang on Susan."

"Professor Lupin? We're in here!"

Remus began hackng and slasing at the zombies, not even caring if he got scratched or bit. He made it to the closet and yeled,"Take over, I'm going to bombard the door." He heard some scrambling and then blasted the door. Splinters flew into the closet as screams could be heard from the back. Then he saw three heads peek out from behind a chest of drawers. He saw Susan Bones, Hannah Abbot, and padma patil looking around themselves and at him.

"We don't have much time. Quick grab what you can from here and we're leaving. Dobby!"

"Mr. Wolf, what do you need?"

"This house is overrun. Help me get the girls out. Harry is downstairs and will be setting this place ablaze soon."

"Quickly, we only has seconds before Harry sets fires." Dobby said ushering everyone close to himself.

Everyone had just put their hands on him when a massive explosion rocked the house, and then heard glass breaking, things falling, and the roof split open.

"What the hell?" Susan said.

"Shit!" Hannah said.

"Hang on!" Remus and Padma said together.

POP... Then they were gone and then landed at #12.

"You needs to head to Hogwarts now! I will be going back for Harryer Harry. The wards here are falling, and the others are already there." Dobby said and was gone with another pop.

Meanwhile, Harry was downstairs at Bones Manor trying to keep the zombies from going up the stairs. They were pressing in on him and he was hacking and slashing at them, but there was too many. Several had already bit him and he was loosing a lot of blood. Then he saw something terrifying crawling along the ceiling. It looked like a dog crossed with a blast-ended skrewt with a huge ass tongue. It used its tongue to grab him around the neck and pull him up to itself. It then proceeded to tear into him. It left deep scratches on his back and down his front. It tried to rip off a leg, but only managed to break it in several places as it twisted and pulled. It gave a loud roar as it thrust a hand deep into his stomach and pulled out his intestines. Harry screamed until his throat was soar, and then he felt himself falling back into the horde below him. As he landed he gathered up his magic and cast fiendfyre at the walls and ceiling. Then he used what strength he had left and cast bombarda maxima. The fire had already spread through the lower level of the house roasting every zombie it touched. The bombarda spell bladted out from him ripping apart every zombie close to him, knocking out several walls and shaking the the house to its foundations. The creature on the ceiling caught fire and was soon incinerated. The body fell beside him and Harry smiled at his handy work.

"Take that you wanker! " He said as he tried to stay awake. Just then Dobby popped in, grabbed him by the arm and popped back out. The house quickly was engulfed in flames, and all the zombies that were in or around the house went up with it.

They reappeared in the Great Hall among screaming and yelling. Kreature saw Harry and immediately left to get the wand and the stone for his master. Everyone else was crying, because they thought Harry would soin be dead and turn into one of the undead. Sirius and Remus both came close to Harry to get his ladt words.

"Pup, what can we do for you? I'm so sorry." Siri said as he pulled a sword.

"I love you Siri...Remus too...tell...ev..every...one...that...I'm s..ss..sorry...I didn't... mmm...make... it...back...ok. I love...you...guys."

Everyone was crying and holding onto each other. Kreature popped back in and placed Harry's cloak on him, the wand and the stone on his chest and said, "You must accept the burden and gift. If you don't then we are all doomed."

"But I want to be with my parents...*cough...cough*, I just...want to be...nnn..norm...al."

"But you have always been special Master Harry. I knows you don't wants this...that is why you was given this gift. Please Harry. We needs you. We will all die if you don't." Dobby said tears streaming diwn his face.

"I...I...accept... the gift of Death." Harry said with his last breath as tears leaked out of his closed eyes.

Remus howled as he dropped to his knees, and Sirius moved firward to cleave Harry's head in two.

Dobby and Kreature jumped in front of Harry's body putting up shields. Their eyes shown with determination as they guarded their master's body.

"You not be touching him! He will be fines! He has accepted and will be getting full gift shortly. " Dobby screamed.

"What are you talking about? Harry's dead! He'll be turned just like everyone else!" Sirius screamed right back.

"No! He has accepted and will rise again more powerful than before. He has become and will search and guard us all." Luna said.

"What?" Bill said confused.

"Just watch...you'll see." she said.

Suddenly Harry's body began to glow and slowly rise off the floor. His body was surrounded by a golden shield, and then he began to scream. It was so loud and frightening that everyone covered their ears. The stone and wand were floating above him pulsating with his heartbeat, and the cloack wrapped around his shoulders. His intestines went back into his body, bones were snapped back into place, flesh was mended, and his blood flew back into his body from the puddle on the floor. When his bidy was completely mended from his run in with the zombies, his body began to fill out and he grew several inches. All the scars from his childhod were fixed, and his eyes melted and reformed, all the while he screamed an inhuman scream. Suddenly the stone stopped pulsating and was absorbed into his body, the cloack wrapoed around him and became a second skin, and the wand attached itself to his wand arm and became invisible. Without warning the golden shield fell along with Harry, who landed on the floor in a heap. Then a large shockwave of golden magic spread out from Harry and hit every living thing in the vicinity and spread outwards to the ward line.

"Urgh...Did anyone get the license of the truck that hit me?" Harry said and then passed out.

"What the bloody hell just happened?" the twins asked in together.

"Master Harry has now become Master of Death. " Dobby said.

"He has accepted and is now more, he has spread his new magic to cover all of Hogwarts and strengthened the wards. Nothing undead will ever be able to get in here. Hogwarts has now become an island of hope in this new dead world." The Hogwarts ghosts said.

"Master has also protected all of you. As long as you stay within the wards, you will never be killed by those things. He has also covered the village. Anything undead that has not mutated is now dead dead." Kreature said.

"Well shit! Ok people secure lodgings, food and weapons. Is there a doctor in the house?" Cece said and everyone just looked at her like she had grown a second head.

Meanwhile, inside Harry's head he found himself in a huge library with a dark figure sitting on one of the desks.

"Death. Nice to finally meet you."

"Oh, you've met me before. You just didn't realize it. Once when you were a toddler, and once this last year."

"That was you? I thought it was Albus."

"Well, I had to take the form of someone you knew and trusted."

"So now what happens?"

"You have accepted the hallows and my gift. I know you didn't want to, but you did it to save your friends and family. Very noble and the right decision. Now you have a job to do. Find the bastard who mutated this disease and find the cure. Only you can do this. You will now be able to hide yourself not only from the living, but also the undead. Your powers will protect you and your friends. You must head to America to find the cure before all life on earth is turned. Save anyone you find and send them to Hogwarts. Only Hogwarts is truly safe, even for you. If you die, your body will fix itself and it will be painful. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, I think I do. Find the asshole who made this mess, find the cure. Go to America and save those I find. Dying brings painful fixing and resurrection. "

"Perfect. Now back you go," Death said as he touch Harry on his head, "I'll be waiting fir you master. Those you set free will come to me." With that said Harry found himself back in his body in excrutiating pain as his body began to fix itself. The pain was intense and he coukdn't stop screaming as the damage done to it was fixed. He felt his intestines snake back into his body, his legs snapping back together, the flesh being fixed and replaced. The grinding of bones, the wet sloppy feeling of flesh and muscle slipping back into place and the skin knitting back together was horrible and the pain didn't stop there. Once the damage from the undead was fixed, the other damage from years past and the kindness of others was fixing itself. He screamed until he thought he couldn't scream anymore and just when he thought it was over his eyes melted and started to regrow. He howled in pain, and the blood curdling scream that left his lips made him want to hide in fear even though he was the one screaming. Then he felt more magic enter his body, some at his chest, some on his wand arm, and some covering his skin. Then he felt himself falling and landing on the hard stone floor and a wave of magic leave his body. It would leave him drained for a bit, but somehow he knew that this needed to happen.

"Urgh...Did anyone get the license of the truck that hit me?" Harry said and then passed out.

Harry woke from his dream.

"Fuck I need a smoke." The green eyed male complained lowly in his tangle of bed sheets, wanting nothing more than just to sleep and state his nicotine cravings. He traveled alone so smoking was his only stress relief; he couldn't fuck someone blind just to feel something.

There was no one around.
