Harry Potter and the Master of Death- Chapter 2: Total Alignment
Title: Harry Potter and the Master of Death (2/7)
Summary: On May 3, 1715, the fledgling Ministry For Magic sent a small group of Unspeakables to confront the Dark Wizard Mortimer. Unable to kill him, the Unspeakables managed to imprison Mortimer's spirit deep within the ground by tapping into the power provided by the overhead Total Solar Eclipse. Records of the event were immediately sealed by the Ministry, and the knowledge of Mortimer's existence was lost to time.
When the sun and the moon align themselves in the precise same formation three hundred years later, Harry Potter must deal with the consequences of some very old magic in order to prevent the release of the vengeful Dark Wizard.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Not beta-read.
Prompt: Harry has to deal with old magic.
Author's Notes: Written for Harry's month at helmet_fest2008.
Many thanks to knic26 for all of the brainstorming sessions, endless support and for coming up with the name "Mortimer" when I was completed stumped when it came to naming my Dark Wizard.
Also a huge thank you to oncelikeshari for the crash course in British geography and landscapes, and to iamshadow for finding an actual cave with magical history in Cornwall.
