Manipulations, and Resurrections

It was breakfast time in the Great Hall, and Xaria Ragnos was really hungry after her early morning workout routine. She stretched her arms out as she walked down the corridor, dodging out of the way of an incoming balloon that was being thrown by Peeves the Poltergeist. She then used the Force as a return to sender retaliation, drenching the Poltergeist in water... though, how that was possible remained a mystery.

She sat down at the very end of the Slytherin table, and was treated to her favorite Bloodsoup that she had preserved. "Let's see which of my enemies I'm going to enjoy today." She mumbled as she took a sip from the bowl. "Vernon, excellent." She said contentedly. She had preserved the brains of the Dursleys for special occasions, and since today was the day they were going to be drawing names out of the Goblet, she guessed that today was one of those days. Last night, students from Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons had put their names into the Goblet, though the Champion selection wouldn't be until later tonight. How the House Elves knew how to prepare Bloodsoup was another mystery to her. Unless they got their hands on the instructions. That was a possibility.

She was brought from her thoughts as Professor Snape walked up to her. "The Headmaster requests your presence immediately." He informed.

"It can wait until after breakfast. I'm trying to enjoy a rare treat. It's not every day I get to have Bloodsoup for breakfast. Let me savor it first before I have to deal with that meddlesome bastard, 'cause I can't deal with Dumbledore without something to brighten up my mood first." She waved off.

Snape didn't know what Bloodsoup was, and frankly, he didn't want to ask. Instead, he just nodded and walked away while the disguised Sith drank her fill.

The rest of the students started trickling into the Great Hall, including the foreign delegates. Unfortunately, her meal was interrupted by loud-mouthed redhead. "Oi! Potter! What are you doing with these slimy snakes!?! You're supposed to be in Gryffindor like your parents!" The redheaded imbecile exclaimed.

"Really." Xaria drawled with an impressive sneer on her face. "I don't see how it's any of your business to tell me my business. Then again, I would expect that from a dirty, rotten, little thief like yourself. It's just right up your alley with that damned marriage contract that I happily ripped to shreds, as well as stealing from my family vaults... which I happily stole back, leaving the Weasleys and Dumbledores poorer than a beggar on Tatooine. Know this, you little piece of Bantha poo-doo, I declared a blood feud against the two Houses. As is my right as Lady of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter, Heiress of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black, Lady of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Peverell, Lady of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Le Fay, Lady of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Slytherin, and Lady of the Most Ancient and Venerated House of Ragnos." Xaria warned, shocking everyone who listened.

Everyone was shocked at several factors. 1.) Aria Potter was the Lady Slytherin, and Heiress Black. 2.) She declared blood feud, which was not something to take lightly. 3.) She was Lady of a Venerated House, which was more politically powerful than a Noble House. To screw over a Venerated House member meant death for those stupid enough to antagonize them. And 4.) She was related to Morgana Le Fay if she was Lady of the House of Le Fay.

Even Dumbledore was as pale as a ghost when he heard the dreaded words "Venerated", and sorely wished he could fix his planet-sized fuckup. "So, if you're quite done being a pissant, I'd like to get back to my breakfast." Xaria snarled before throwing the irritant across the room with such force he actually hit the wall on the furthest side of the Great Hall... and was embedded in it.

This little show of power caused the entire Great Hall to go as silent as the grave, which made Xaria smirk as she fed off the fear she had caused. Her attention was turned to the only person who she didn't feel any fear from... but rather, it was reverence she felt through the Force. She turned to see a blonde Ravenclaw girl with wide, doe-like eyes that were a pale, silvery color. She wore radish earrings, and a necklace with a bottle cork attached, but that was not what drew the Dark Lord to the girl. No. It was the very Force itself. The girl was so powerful in the Force, she might have been on par with Xaria herself. What was fascinating was that the girl was already on the precipice of falling to the Dark Side. "Interesting. It looks as though I've found my new Apprentice." Xaria mumbled to herself before taking a sip from her goblet.

~Scene Change~

After breakfast, she was escorted up to Dumbledore's office by Professor Snape, who had been unnaturally quiet, and paler than he was before... though, he might not have gotten over the Dark Lord of the Sith's little display in the Great Hall. Finally, they arrived at a statue of a Griffon with its wings spread out. "Here we are. Lemon Drops." Professor Snape said with a heavy sneer, which was reflected by Xaria.

"His passwords are candies? He's more senile than I imagined." The young Sith Lord groaned as she facepalmed, but went up the steps without further complaint. She decided to skip the knocking, and just went straight in, careless of what the old fucker thought.

Dumbledore was shocked at the blatant disrespect, the young raven-haired witch showed, and his shock was mirrored by Snape. "Alright, let's get this meeting over with. I have far more pressing things to do than being patronized by meddling old fools." Xaria said as she walked over to stand in front of Dumbledore, not even bothering to sit down. Her attitude was amusing for Fawkes to watch.

"My dear girl." Dumbledore started, only to be glared at, spitefully, by Xaria. "Aria." He amended, but the glare did not soften. "Would you mind telling me where you've been? Plenty of people have been worrying about your mysterious disappearance." He asked, earning a cackle that eerily reminded him of a certain Black sister that had a fetish for causing pain.

"Oh, here, there, everywhere." Xaria replied, allusively, which caused Snape to smirk. "Vernon had just got done beating me and raping me, after accusing me of being the reason he didn't get his precious promotion at work, and took out his rage on me. After that, I Disapparated, and ended up in the hands of a... living relative that was a better caretaker than Vernon and his ilk. Over the years, I've learned... obscure and esoteric magic. I've only just returned to settle an old score with the Dursleys." Xaria replied, maliciously, which sent a chill of terror down Dumbledore and Snape's spines. "I heard I have you to thank for forcing me to live with those petty and insufferable refuse. Oh, and I know what you've been doing." Xaria added as she showed Dumbledore her Ladyship rings, and Heir rings. "I know about the theft of my vaults, the marriage contract, everything. Even the Horcrux that had once been in my scar." She added, as she showed her unmarred forehead. "The esoteric magic that I was taught, allowed me to consume the Horcrux, and take on all of Voldemort's knowledge... even in the Dark Arts. If you're trying to manipulate me, then don't bother. I've already got you and the Weasleys in a blood feud with the Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter, Peverell, Black, Slytherin, Le Fay, and the Most Ancient and Venerated House of Ragnos." She informed the headmaster, who went from pale to deathly pale at the revelations.

"By the way. You think my mother was just a "mudblood"? I don't think so. She is a Pureblood descendant of Marka Ragnos, the most powerful Dark Lord of the Sith in the galaxy. He who reigned over the Sith Empire for three thousand years, unopposed, even on his deathbed. You might have heard the name... after all, Wizards once revered the Sith... especially Marka Ragnos. Make no mistake, Dumbledore. You are making a powerful enemy that you cannot possibly hope to destroy." She threatened as she flared her aura which snuffed out all light in the room, and suffocated the old man with its sheer maliciousness. Not even Tom Riddle, for all his depravity, could produce a physical aura like what the 14 year old girl in front of him was producing.

"What is it that you want, Aria? Why have you gone down the Dark path?" Dumbledore asked after recovering from the shocking revelations he was subjected to.

"I want you destroyed, Albus Dumbledore. But not before I take away everything you've worked so hard to build. I will first destroy any preconceived notions you've had of me... by showing you just how powerful I really am." Xaria replied before turning her attention to Fawkes. "Take us to Godric's Hollow." She ordered.

"Fawkes will not listen to you. Phoenixes are creatures of... Light...." Dumbledore was shocked by how willing Fawkes listened to this evil being, and teleported the three of them to Godric's Hollow... or more accurately, the Peverell cottage graveyard.

With a dramatic flourish, she used a switching spell to change her Hogwarts robes to Marka Ragnos' robes. Completed with the gauntlets, and scepter. She then walked over to her parents graves, and slammed the top of the scepter into the ground, pumping Dark Side energy into James and Lily's corpses. "Behold as I achieve that which was said to be unachievable! Behold as I resurrect my parents from their graves!" She exclaimed.

"Aria, you can't do this! No amount of magic in the world can bring back your parents!" Dumbledore shouted as a storm cloud started to form overhead, thunder and all. The sound of thunder, however, was eclipsed by Xaria's manic cackling.

"That's where you're wrong, old man! The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities, some would consider to be unnatural!" Xaria stated as lightning struck the scepter, pumping electricity into the ground, combined with the DSE. Once all was said and done, the storm ceased, and Xaria looked at the grave with a manic grin. "Open sesame." She said, using the Force to uncover the graves. The lids then blew off the caskets, revealing two, perfectly fine Potters. Clothing, skin, and all.

"What the? Aria?" Lily asked in disbelief as she and James leapt out of the hole.

"As you can see, Dumbledore. I can do many things you think is impossible. Resurrection of the dead is but one of the great many things I am capable of." Xaria said with a sneer.

Dumbledore, whom was currently on his arse, was shocked beyond belief! So too was Snape! Aria Potter had just brought back Lily and James from death... and they were completely human, and not at all Inferius like many Necromantic spells could create. "You desecrated your own parents' graves, and used Necromancy!" He exclaimed, receiving another sneer.

"Such is the power of the Dark Side. No amount of magic on EARTH can bring back the dead completely. But the Dark Side of the Force, can make one achieve things that Terran magic is incapable of. For example; did you know that the Dark Lord who rose up shortly after Marka Ragnos' death, collapsed a star when he was on the run from the Galactic Republic? The name of this Dark Lord of the Sith was none-other-than Naga Sadow. Darth Nihilus was a wound in the Force, capable of devouring all life on planets. Darth Vitiate was so powerful in the Dark Side, he had no use for Lightsabers. Even Darth Plagueis, a member of Darth Bane's heretical Order of the Sith Lords, was so powerful that he could manipulate the Force in such a way, he could create life from nothing, and even prevent the ones he loved from dying. As much as I despise those heretics, I have to admit, their knowledge and powers have been of great use to me." Xaria informed the shell-shocked headmaster. "You are making a powerful enemy, Dumbledore. One more toe out of line, and I won't hesitate to destroy you." She promised as Lightning struck the headstone of her parent's former graves. As she finished that sentence, her emerald eyes shifted to a malevolent amber color that radiated nothing but contempt and utter hatred towards the old man.

"Mum, dad. As much as I want a family reunion, I think it best if we went back to Hogwarts. Fawkes. Take us back, please." Xaria ordered, and the Phoenix did as he was told. Once they all came back to the headmaster's office, Xaria turned towards Dumbledore. "Stay the hell out of my way, old man. If you know what's good for you, you'll cease trying to manipulate me... otherwise... well, I have plenty of evidence that could lead to you being sacked from your precious positions in the Government. I'm not above showing you your place." With that, she lead her parents out of Dumbledore's office, with Lily and James giving the old man scathing looks as they left.

(A/N: And cut! That's chapter 3. I hope you guys enjoyed it. That last bit with the Potters' resurrection, I feel is not beyond the realm of possibility for users highly immersed in the Dark Side... after all, Darth Revan himself pulled it off on himself, I believe, if I read that information correctly. Personally, I enjoy writing fanfics where Harry/Rose/whoever uses some sort of magic to resurrect his/her parents. It was just a last minute addition for this, however. Please let me know what you think, and I'll see you guys next time. Ciao!)
