Keagan Montgomery and Ashleigh Lawrence and Aimee Harrington were out shopping at the Universal Mall, when about a dozen cloaked figures glided in and stuck out wands at everyone, cursing them. The girls immediately ducked and hid behind a counter and pulled out their wands.

"Stupefy!" Keagan shouted first. The cloaked figure clearly wasn't expecting a witch or wizard at the mall and was stunned.

"Petrificus Totalus!" Aimee yelled at another one. It snapped together, rigid as a board, and fell.

"Death Eaters!" Ashleigh whispered frightfully.

The two others nodded.

"Crucio!" a Death Eater cackled. The curse whizzed past Keagan and hit a pole.

"STUPEFY!" a voice roared. It was a male voice. The spell hit the Death Eater.

The girls looked towards the voice and saw a guy, of about 16 years old, behind another counter beside them. He had jet black hair that was incredibly messy, glasses, a slightly narrowed nose, very skinny, and amazing emerald green eyes.

The rest of the Death Eaters disapparated before the Ministry came.

"Come on, we've got to put the anti-disapparation charm on and bind them so they can't leave. And take their wands, too." The guy said to the girls.

They nodded, and did as he said. Soon enough, Ministry officials apparated.

"Mr. Potter?" a man said, apparently flabbergasted.

"Yeah, Minister. We've got them binded and have the anti-disapparation charm on this place, and their wands." The boy said.

"We?" the Minister said.

Harry pointed to the girls.

"Who are you?" the Minister asked suspiciously.

They each said their names.

"Keagan Montgomery."

"Aimee Harrington."

"Ashleigh Lawrence. We're witches." Ashleigh added.

"How come I've never seen you at Hogwarts, before?" the boy asked curiously.

"We're tought at our houses. But we've gotten letters of acceptance, but we just didn't want to go." Keagan answered.

"Who are you?" Aimee asked the boy.

"Oh. Harry, Harry Potter." The boy answered.

The girls glanced at his forehead, and nodded. Harry's eyes widened a bit and he raised his eyebrows.

"What?" Keagan asked.

"Er, usually, people gawk and stare at me when they see me." Harry said.

"Oh." Ashleigh shrugged. "Well, we can't say we're not surprised or anything. We've learned about you, but we just don't tend to stare at people...even if they're famous and stuff. It's not like you want to be stared at, right?"

Harry nodded, grinning sheepishly.

The Minister cleared his voice. "Mr. Potter, you know that you are an underage wizard to do magic outside of-"

"Minister," Keagan said, exaggerating that word quite sarcastically, "You know perfectly well that Harry was defending himself against the Death Eaters...Unless you were purposely acting blonde?" she raised an eyebrow.

Harry widened his eyes at her boldness. It was the Minister of Magic she was insulting. But honestly, he didn't care much for his Minister.

"Ms. Montgomery! This is the Minister of Magic you're talking to! I can give charges against you!-"The minister said puffing out his chest quite pathetically.

"Honestly, I don't give a damn about who I'm insulting right now, and I can insult you if I choose to. What happened to the 'freedom of speech' rule? I'm sure that if I insulted Harry, you wouldn't give a shit about it. Hell, you would be happy that I did-"Keagan growled, but Ashleigh put a warning hand on Keagan's shoulder.

The ministry officials who had been handling the muggles and Death Eaters stopped to stare at the situation.

Fudge (the minister), gaped at her.

"You know, Minister, it's quite rude to stare." Aimee said mockingly quietly, trying to contain her giggles.

Harry snorted at this and Fudge flushed and immediately clamped his mouth shut.

Kingsley Shacklebolt, who was also there, was trying to contain his laughter.

"Well, Harry, thank your friends here. You should get home, who did you come here with?" Fudge asked Harry.

"My Aunt Petunia and Dudley." Harry said pointing towards the counter.

Timidly, a bony woman and an incredibly fat boy rose up and walked over to them cautiously.

"My dear woman, what happened?" Fudge said in fake kindness.

"W-Well, we were shopping for some clothes for Dudley to wear, and we couldn't have the boy stay home by himself, so he came with us. We were about to go home, when all of these people came with those wands and started cursing people. The boy shoved us behind that counter, and used his wand and shot spells." Aunt Petunia said in a shaky voice.

"Ah, I see. Well, I must be going." Fudge said and disapparated with a pop.

Shacklebolt came over. "Harry, you should come to Headquarters. You'll stay there in the mean time, so we'll know what to do with this situation."

The girls noticed that Harry's eyes went cloudy, dark, and dull.

"I don't want to go." Harry said firmly with a tinge of sorrow and anger in his voice.

"But where will you go? I'm not sure if you can go to your home." Shacklebolt said uncertainly.

"He could come to my house." Keagan suggested out of the blue. She had no idea what they were talking about, but Harry obviously needed a place to stay.

Shacklebolt looked warily at the girls.

"Look, we're not supporters of Voldemort or any dark side. We're not Death Eaters and he'll be safe at my house. Tons of wards are put all over my house." Keagan explained.

Shacklebolt raised his eyebrows.

"You can give us Veritaserum if you want." Aimee said.

"You can sense their auras if you want. Just use that Auravas Charm." Harry suggested.

"How do you know about that? That's a NEWT level charm, Harry." Shacklebolt said.

"Been reading...Getting ready...nothing to do, anyway." Harry muttered, shrugging.

Shacklebolt said the charm on all of them. The aura glowing around the person would be gold if they were purely innocent. It would be light blue if they were mostly innocent. It would be magenta if the person was half innocent, and it would be black it the person was evil.

Ashleigh's aura was gold, Aimee's was light blue, and Keagan's was magenta. Harry raised his eyebrows at Keagan.

"What? Pranks are one of my priorities!" Keagan said defensively.

Harry grinned and so did Aimee and Ashleigh.

"So, can he come?" Keagan asked.

"Well, your auras aren't evil and I'm thinking you don't have bad intentions, so, I guess Harry can go. I'll contact Dumbledore." Shacklebolt said.

"How will he get to my house?" Aunt Petunia said in an annoyed voice.

"My mum can take him home." Keagan said.

Once they were ready, Keagan, Harry, Aimee, and Ashleigh took a Portkey to Keagan's house. Harry landed on his feet with a light thud into a huge room with a grand piano, two couches, a low glass coffee table, and a lot of pictures.

"Wow..." Harry said in awe.

"This is the formal room. We're going to go to the living room." Keagan said.

They went into a room with cozy couches, a roaring fire, a rocking chair, and a low coffee table.

They sat down and didn't talk for a while. Harry took this time to look the girls over: (Describes personality and such).

Ashleigh had glasses for reading, and had enchanting green eyes. It wasn't quite like Harry's, it was a bit lighter, but it could be because his were darker these days. She had straight auburn hair that was kept down. Her hair was about a bit past her shoulders. Her skin was lightly tanned and she had a stick figure. She was wearing a blue tee shirt and a jean skirt that went slightly above her knees. Ashleigh was the more studious one in the group. She was quite responsible, too. She was quiet, but could be loud at times. Ashleigh was about 5"5. She didn't wear a lot of make up, just light. Harry thought she was pretty, but not beautiful.

Aimee had wavy blonde hair that was put up into a neat ponytail. Her hair looked like it was down to her waist. Her eyes were warm and grey, full of excitement and curiosity. She always tried to see the best in people. Aimee was well tanned and had an hourglass figure. She was wearing a sky blue spaghetti strap and jean Capri's. She was about 5"6 and wore a lot of make up, but Harry thought she looked good with it. She was also amazingly pretty, but not striking to Harry.

Keagan had black hair, almost exactly like Harry's. It looked quite messy, but maybe it was because it was in a messy bun. Her hair looked like they were up to her elbows. Her eyes were warm and hazel. They were big and almond shaped. Keagan was more to the pale side and had sort of a stick figure and an hourglass figure. She had knobbly knees, quite like Harry's, but they were more firm than his. She was wearing a dark blue tank top and jean shorts. Keagan absolutely loved to play pranks and Aimee often helped her with them, even Ashleigh helped sometimes. Keagan was more rebellious than the others. She was about 5"4 and didn't wear any make up at all. She was more of a tom boy than girly girl. Harry thought she looked beautiful, and a very weird feeling occurred in his stomach when he looked at her.

They were all very strange in a good way.
