This story is in direct response to the following Challenge:
Blood Brandy's "Harry Potter and the Seven Lights" Challenge:
When Lily sacrificed herself to save Harry, she did so by invoking an old, old
power, old as time and the universe, to combat the curse of death with the
White Light of Creation. However, when Harry was hit with the killing curse,
the light fractured into the seven components.
Requirements:
- Harry has the power of the seven lights of the emotional electromagnetic
spectrum (The seven lantern corps')
- Harry does have trouble controlling them due to his emotions
- Harry must have a symbol of each lantern on his body
Forbidden:
- Harry can't be in a M/M relationship
Suggestions:
- Lily could manifest as a sentient construct of Harry's violet light (She
sacrificed herself out of love, and the orange lanterns can do it). Voldemort's
horcrux could do the same with red light.
I have made some modifications to the original premise to make this my own
story, as you will quickly discover. However the core concept remains the same.
I hope Blood Brandy likes this story if s/he manages to discover it… though to
help with that premise, I will be sending him/her a message about the story. I
also hope the rest of you enjoy the story as well :D
This will be the only time that I am mentioning the Challenge.
Author's Note: Despite this story being marked as part of the DC Comicsverse, I
am modeling the uniforms that the protagonists in this story wear after one of
the DC Universe Movies. I am sure people will quickly figure out which one :)
Warning: This story will feature abuse, mind control, and extreme violence…
possibly even things such as major character deaths. If that is not your thing,
then I suggest you find something else to read, as I WILL be depicting one of
the most horrific saga's of the DC Universe.

Lily stood within her private chambers before an altar that held several
effigies. Each in a different color of the rainbow, along with one that was
made of a pure snow white material. She waited calmly for the appointed time,
and then emotionally began chanting ancient words of incredible power:
                     "With blood and rage of crimson red,
                    Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead,
                       Together with our hellish hate,
                    We'll burn you all - that is your fate!
                    What's mine is mine and mine and mine,
                         And mine and mine and mine!
                                  Not yours!
                     In blackest day, in brightest night,
                      Beware your fears made into light.
                   Let those who try to stop what's right,
                     Burn like my power, Sinestro's might!
                        Tor lorek san, bor nakka mur,
                         Natromo faan tornek wot ur.
                         Ter Lantern ker lo Abin Sur,
                       Taan lek lek nok -Formorrow Sur!
                       In fearful day, in raging night,
                  With strong hearts full, our souls ignite.
                   When all seems lost in the War of Light,
                   Look to the stars, for Hope burns bright!
                   For hearts long lost and full of fright,
                      For those alone in Blackest Night.
                     Accept our ring and join our fight,
                     Love conquers all with violet light!
                     In brightest day, in Blackest Night,
                        No evil shall escape my sight.
                      Let those who worship evil's might
                   Beware my power - Green Lantern's light!"
When she had finished the elaborate chant, she opened her closed eyes and
intoned, "I call to you, Entities of the Emotional Spectrum, protect my son in
his most dire hour of need! I offer to bind myself to your will, if you provide
him with safe passage towards the future!"
A soft glow emanated from the white effigy, and a voice that sounded full of
caring emotion said, "I, the Entity of the White Light of Creation, accept your
most heartfelt plea. Do not fear, child, for your son shall meet with
salvation!"
"Thank you!" Lily cheered out in relief, though she felt a small burning
sensation upon her breast as the symbol of the White Lantern Corps bound itself
to her, despite her lack of an actual Lantern Ring.

Lily just could not believe what was happening. She had just been hit with the
Killing Curse by that ruddy Dark Lord that was running rampant around half the
country. What boggled her mind, was that she was for some reason still
cognizant of what was happening in the nursery, despite the fact that she was
decidedly dead. It didn't take her too terribly long to figure out that this
was something that the White Entity had arranged for her. Simply so she would
KNOW for a fact that her son had survived.
Thus, she was forced to watch with horror as the self-styled Lord Voldemort
fired a curse at her son. But it was not the curse that she had expected him to
fire. She had thought he would fire the Avada Kedavra curse at Harry, just like
he did at her. Except, something clearly wasn't going at plan, the curse that
Voldemort fired at Harry had the oddest incantation she had ever heard, "Anima
Vas."
As soon as the light from whatever that curse was, hit Harry however, a massive
flare of all seven primary colors of the Emotional Spectrum went up and slammed
directly into Voldemort's chest completely vaporizing the man, along with half
the building that Harry and he had been inside of at the time.
A voice that Lily recognized as belonging to the White Entity spoke at this
point, "Truly unheard of. I had initially planned on giving your son access to
the White Light of Creation. However due to that man's attempt to inflict your
son with a curse created by the Black Light of Death and Decay, your son now
possesses access to all seven primary lights individually without the balancing
effect that the White Light offers. This is truly unfortunate as his powers
will fluctuate based on his personal emotions. I have however, bestowed him
what little advantages I can. He is now a walking energy battery, and can forge
rings for his own personal Lantern Corps in times of dire need on either his
part, or the part of the individual for whom the ring is intended. There are
other advantages he will get to enjoy from this power as he grows older.
However I am afraid that we must depart this world for the moment, Mrs.
Potter."
"I'll be able to see him again, right?" Lily questioned.
"Oh yes, I imagine when things look their darkest, you will be able to reunite
with your child. Now let us be off…" and with that Lily and the White Entity
departed, taking with them even the corporeal remains of Lily.

*CRACK!*
Freak fell to the floor as he was hit in the head with the cast iron skillet
that his Aunt Petunia had just swung at him. This was of course his own fault
for failing to learn how to properly cook the eggs and bacon. Though how he was
expected to learn to cook said food without any instruction, Freak had no idea.
Freak had been suffering such abuse as this for the past two days, and he had
finally reached a breaking point. He was scared, well and truly scared.
However, something happened that had his aunt gasp in complete surprise and
utter shock.
Unseen by Freak, but clearly visible to Petunia Dursley, a glowing circular
crest appeared on Freak's back. This glowing crest was bright enough that it
could clearly be seen through the heavy sweater that Freak was currently
wearing. The crest resembled an outer circle with an interior circle. The
interior circle had two prongs coming out of the bottom at opposite angles.
These prongs angled sharply away from each other and curled around opposite
sides of the interior circle. At the top of the inner circle, between an
opening left by the two curling prongs was a small box-like structure attached
to the inner circle.
Petunia had never seen anything quite like it. However the concern she had over
the glowing circle was immediately sidelined when Freak sneezed out a burst of
concentrated yellow light that immediately flew out the nearest window,
shattering the window in the process.
"What in the hell was that, you little Freak?" Petunia shrieked in complete
outrage at the child while kicking him in the side of his stomach for good
measure.

Bellatrix Lestrange found herself commiserating with her semi-estranged cousin,
Sirius Black, over their shared fate as being wrongfully imprisoned in Azkaban
Prison. Though if she were being brutally honest with herself, there certainly
was a lot of convincing circumstantial evidence in both of their cases.
In her cousin's case, he had been horribly and unjustly set up in a rather
convincing frame job. If he hadn't subsequently had a nervous breakdown in the
aftermath he might not have been arrested.
Bella's situation was far more tragic and far more convincing. The problem for
Bella, was that her revolting pig of a husband had been forcing her to
accompany him on his various raids at the behest of that ponce known as
Voldemort. To make matters worse, she had been being fed compulsion droughts
that would force her to claim unequivocal loyalty to said ponce should she and
her husband be discovered on one of his raids and brought in by the Aurors for
questioning.
That was unfortunately exactly what had happened during the disaster that was
the raid on the Longbottom family. Now she found herself serving a lifetime
sentence without possibility of parole inside of a prison that could easily
personify the phrase, 'Hell on Earth.'
Just as Bella was about to go back to her internal ranting at how cruel fate
was, a sickly yellow blob of condensed light flew in through the barred window
at the very ceiling of her cell over ten feet above her head while she was
standing. As it entered the cell, it fell to her level and quickly began
wrapping itself around the ring finger of her dominant hand. Once it had fully
encircled her finger, it coalesced into a physical and very sturdy looking ring
that was made of a weird metal of the same color as the light that the ring had
just been seconds previously.
As soon as the ring had manifested in its true form, Bella felt a thrill of
orgasmic bliss flow through her entire being, as her eyes began to glow in the
same yellow color. Almost subconsciously, the rags she had been wearing were
blown off her body to be replaced by one of the most ridiculously skin tight
outfits she had ever even contemplated wearing.
Bella cocked her head as she admired her new outfit, only to let out a
disappointed sigh, "Aww, no nips!" The outfit she now found herself wearing,
was basically nothing more than what her body would look like, if she had
decided to douse her naked form with yellow paint for all an effective covering
it provided.
It was about this point in time that Bella noticed that the omnipresent sense
of dread that was in this section of Azkaban due to the constant presence of
the Dementors had receded almost entirely.
"Yo! Cous', what's going on? Where did the dementors go?" Bella's cousin called
from the next cell over.
Bella snorted as she concentrated on the ring that was obviously the source
whatever was going on. As she did so, she found out some rather interesting
bits of information. The first and most relevant piece was that, "They simply
aren't scary enough for dealing with the likes of what I can now do."
"So… does that mean we're leaving, oh cousin of mine?" Sirius asked hopefully.
Bella snorted, "Please, you could walk out of here right this instant,
Padfoot."
"Yo-you knew?" Sirius questioned.
"Duh!" Bella intoned reproachfully. She then glanced around, before saying,
"Well… I'll catch you later, Padfoot. Looks like I have to go rescue your
Godson."
"WAIT, WHAT!?" Sirius shrieked, though he wasn't really heard as Bella had
raised her ring clad fist to the exterior wall of her cell and released a bolt
of pure yellow concussive force that completely annihilated the vast majority
of the wall and surrounding structure.
Bella cocked her head to the side as she inspected the damage, "Hmm… that was
far more potent than I expected it to be."
With the exterior wall obliterated, Bella instinctively pointed her new ring
skyward and allowed it to lift her into the sky as a soft yellow glow of energy
wrapped itself around her form to protect her from the harmful effects of
flight at high speeds and altitudes.
What Bella didn't know was that she had been observed breaking out by one of
the few human guards of Azkaban, who quickly went about sending an alert about
the breakout to the Ministry for Magic.

*DING-A-LING*
Petunia frowned as the doorbell to her house was rung. She had been in the
process of watching as Freak cleaned the house. However that would have to
wait. Roughly grabbing Freak by the collar of his sweater, she dragged the
protesting child back to his cupboard, tossed him into it and shut the door
while latching the exterior lock.
Once that was taken care of, Petunia went to the door and answered it. As soon
as she did, she started having a nervous breakdown.
There standing in the doorway was one of those costumed Freaks. Only this one
was one whom Petunia had recognized do to her costumes similarities to that
Green Lantern Freak that was galavanting around in the Colonies.
Petunia wasn't stupid, she easily recognized just how much danger she was in
from the presence of this particular freak, regardless of how weak she appeared
to be physically. That was why she opened her mouth and said, "You're here for
the boy?"
The freak nodded her head. To which Petunia responded, "Fine! Take him. It's
not like I really wanted to take care of such an insufferable ingrate as him
anyways. You want such a troublemaker as that, you're welcome to him!"
From Bellatrix's point of view these comments just caused the woman to raise an
eyebrow. Granted her eyebrows were not as perfectly maintained as they had once
been, but it still had the right effect.
Using her new Ring's ability to sense out the fear of others, Bella quickly
shoved past the terrified woman and made her way to the cupboard under the
stairs, where she found a locked door. Upon unlocking the door and opening it,
she discovered the terrified and horribly maimed form of her cousin's Godson.
Sighing to herself she directed her Ring towards young Harry and used its
powers to begin the process of healing the injuries of the young boy
sufficiently to where he was properly able to function without being in
terrible pain.
When she was done, the young boy looked up at her in awe and said, "Um… thank
you, um… Miss?"
"You can call me Yellow Lantern for right now, Harry. Though we will be having
you call me something else when we are away from your Relatives. Though I use
the term Relatives extremely loosely," Bella almost growled the last sentence
in that explanation.
"Um… alright Miss Lantern," Harry agreed. He then said something that shocked
Bella right down to the core, "But… um… who is Harry?"
Bella whipped her head around to shoot a glare of pure unadulterated hatred at
Harry's aunt Petunia. She also unconsciously amped up her aura of fear as she
directed it at the woman, which caused the woman to crash to the ground in a
gibbering mass of fear induced paranoia as her higher brain functions proceeded
to shut down on a rather permanent level.
Deciding that enough was enough, Bella turned to Harry and said, "Why, youare
Harry, my dear. Now, would you like to come with me, and get away from the
terror that you have felt in this house? I assure you that when we leave, I
will find us a better home in which to live out the remainder of our lives
together?"
Bella shuddered subconsciously as she felt a tingle go through her entire body
at the thought of spending the rest of her life with young Harry. And it wasn't
because she wanted to be his mother or older sister. There was something far
more primal about the sensation she had just felt. Was she falling for the
young child in a romantic sense? That was beyond weird, she was far too old for
that sort of relationship with such a young child… or at least she had thought
she was before coming here.
Harry nodded his head before saying, "Anything so I don't have to stay in this
place anymore. It never did feel like a home to me!"
As soon as he said that, Bella's attunement to the flow of magic around her
allowed her to feel that several different wards that were somehow tied to the
young man in front of her, had somehow just inexplicably collapsed for no
apparent reason. This caused Bella to frown. The only type of Wards that she
was familiar with which would behave in such a manner were of the blood-based
variety, and those wards were some of the darkest known to man.
Little did Bella know, that the wards in question were placed as a contingency
plan by one Albus Dumbledore using blood that the Hogwarts Mediwitch, Madam
Pomfrey, had on file from one of the times that the then Lily Evans had
suffered a serious injury and needed treatment at the Hogwarts Hospital Wing.
"Come on, Harry, let's get out of here before we are noticed," Bella said as
she extended her hand for the young child to take it, which he did.
The two then walked out of the house, and instead of Bella apparating, which
could be detected by Wizards these days, she wrapped both herself and young
Harry in a cocoon of her yellow light and took to the sky with the two of them,
heading rapidly in the direction of what she hoped would be a safe haven for
herself and her new family, or at least what she hoped would soon be her new
family… Gosh, there was that thrill down the back of her spine again at the
thought of being able to stay with Harry.

Lord Arcturus Nigellus Black could do nothing but stare at the formerly
beautiful form of this girl who was his First Cousin, Twice Removed on his
father's side of the family. Oh, well he was able to work his jaw in his
incredulity at what she had just told him.
Of course Arcturus hard already known that this young woman had escaped from
her cell in Azkaban Prison earlier this morning, however he had decided to wait
and hear from her own mouth exactly why she had decided it was necessary to
break out of the Prison in such an overly dramatic manner. One which was most
certainly NOT worthy of a member of the Slytherin House Alumni.
Whatever he had been expecting to hear, it certainly was not that she broke out
so she could rescue the Boy Who Bloody Lived from an abusive environment, and
because she had been wrongfully imprisoned due to the fact that she had been
forced to drink a compulsion drought that made it so she would involuntarily
confess to being a supporter of the bloody Dark Lord.
This combined with the outfit she was wearing, which he bloody well recognized
as belonging to the same group of heroes as that ruddy Green Lantern fellow
over in the Colonies… and the fact that it was an exceedingly inappropriate
outfit for a member of the Pure-Blood Elite to be wearing. It truly boggled his
mind that she seemed to be proud of what she was wearing for whatever reason
and not at all ashamed of it.
Still, there were some important matters to attend to before anything else
could be done. One of the first things he needed to do was to corroborate her
tale.
"Bella, I need you to drink three drops of this potion. Then answer the
questions I pose to you," Arcturus said as he handed her a small vial with a
fluid that was as clear as water in it.
"Of course," Bella said as she took the prescribed amount of the potion.
Once he was certain that the Veritaserum was working in her system he asked,
"Now, is everything that you told me in regards to the reason you escaped from
Azkaban today one hundred percent true?"
"Yes…" Bella said in a monotonous tone of voice.
"Is there anything else which I need to know in regards to your break out?"
Arcturus asked, feeling as though there might be something that he was missing
based on the way she trailed off in her response.
"Cousin Sirius is also innocent of the reason he was imprisoned," Bella stated
in the same monotonous tone of voice.
And just like that, Lord Arcturus Black's schedule for the foreseeable future
became exceedingly busy, as he now had two family members who he had to clear
the names of.

===============================================================================
Author's Note: Now, some of you may be confused as to why Bella is behaving
differently from a typical Yellow Lantern… well… that is because Harry's
Lantern Rings don't exactly function in 100% the same manner as the ones worn
by the various Lantern Corps members. Thus his Lantern Ring Wearers will behave
somewhat OOC when compared to the members of the various Lantern Corps.
The reason for this, is because it wouldn't be as much fun if Harry's Lanterns
were fatally weakened simply by experiencing certain emotions. That said, they
still have the weakness of having their light not being able to influence the
color that their ring is weak against.
