The Sun Rises for a New Dark Lord

[UKlupinfan]

Summary: "There is something that is true, for as we see the setting of the sun on one evil power, we will see someone try to rise in its place. I do not expect this to be tomorrow but someday in the future when we least expect it, it will happen again." Kingsley would never have believed his words after the death of Voldemort would come true so many years after his downfall.

A/N - I am not sure whether this is a one shot or there is going to be any other parts. Usual fanfic disclaimers apply I don’t own the work and don’t intend to make any money from it.

Harry woke from his nightmare. He had the double bed all to himself as Ginny was visiting Molly. He had been looking forward to a lie in but last nights viewing had put paid to that. He needed to get the Minister, Ron and the other Aurors into the Ministry. What he had seen in his nightmare needed sorting and fast. He wasn’t going to be popular.

“Harry, you may well be my brother in law, uncle to my kids and my best mate but I really hate you.” Ron was drinking coffee in the Aurors’ office waiting for everyone to get into work.

“I’ll explain it all as soon as everyone gets in.” replied Harry. Thoughts of what had happened last night were flooding his mind.

“You alright? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

“You don’t realise just how close to the truth you are Ron.” Harry let out an exasperated sigh. “Where is everyone?”

“Give them a break it’s the weekend. When the week ends and we get a life.”

“Yeah, well perhaps we’ve had it easy since the end of the war.” Came Harry’s cryptic reply.

“Easy? Easy? Do I need to remind you who we lost and how much bloody effort it has taken us to re-build everything? Harry Potter you prat, no one has had it easy but we have thank Merlin been able to live our lives.”

“Ron calm down.” Harry had heard the low chuckle of Kingsley Shacklebolt a true and fair Minister.

“Harry I take it you have good reason for getting us all out of beds on a Saturday morning at five am?” Kingsley asked the question for all the Aurors who were stood s******ing at Ron’s Rant.

“I do Minister. I like you all value my time away from work but something happened last night that changes things and not for the better I am afraid.”

“For crying out loud stop talking in bleeding riddles and get on with it.” Ron folded his arms impatiently, a number of people had to stifle giggles.

Harry glared at Ron.

“Okay, I’ll keep quiet.”

“Thank you Ron.” Harry stood in silence, studying the faces of the men and women.

“I am sorry for getting you all in so early on a Saturday but you must all be aware of facts that have come into my possession.” Harry’s scar still prickled he would have flinched or touched it but this message needed to be calm and clear. “It is twenty years since we beat Tom Riddle and we have worked hard to re-build a good, fair and safe community. I do however have grave news.” He paused again.

“I have not had a nightmare since that fateful day when we lost many friends and loved ones but we cam out as victors. My scar has been pain free. Last night everything changed, my scar is as painful as it was when Riddle was at his height of power. Last night I saw that we are all in danger and we must start making plans now.” Harry kept his breathing steady and continued over the muttering in the office.

“I had a nightmare of great intensity last night that a new dark lord was planning his ascent and, I.” He looked skyward. “I fear I cannot help you defeat him, I am responsible in part for it.”

He lowered his face betraying the tears forming in his eyes.

“Harry, I know I said I would be quiet but your scaring me mate.” Ron was shaken by Harry’s show of emotion.

“This is hard of me to say. A muggleborn student was killed in Hogsmeade last night. The perpetrator is.” His mind wandered and so did his speech. “I should have seen his anger and the path he was choosing but I didn’t, and now I believe we have lost him forever. There is a new Dark Wizard pulling together his army.”

“Harry, just say the name.” Kingsley spoke quietly.

“Teddy Lupin.” Harry’s voice trailed to a whisper and he sunk to the floor. “I’m sorry I failed you Remus.”

“Harry you’re talking absolute tosh.” Ron shook his head. “The scar was linked because you had a bit of you know who stuck to you.”

“Ron, Voldemort was twisted enough to leave a legacy and who better than my godson?”

“Harry stop talking nonsense you had a bad dream nothing more. Calm down and let us all go home.”
Kingsley bent down to Ron and Harry. “We’ve had someone check Hogsmeade and we’ve found a body. Harry you have to believe that Teddy is good and that he is being controlled. I am surprised though, you shouldn’t have felt anything you’re not linked to Teddy in anyway.”

“He’s been trying to get his parents back, and I think he has done something far more powerful than he could’ve imagined.”

“Still sounds far fetched Harry. Would it help if we got Hermione over here? She’s bound to come up with a rational explanation.”

“I can’t be involved with the investigation Ron, I’m too close to it, to him. I’m sorry minister, I must give you my resignation.”

“Harry I can’t accept.” Kingsley looked on shaken by the events. “Whatever has happened we will find a solution together.”
