Chapter 1: Another Trip
Author's note: Hi! DevilDragon8 and I are really excited to be starting the sixth story. I can't believe the series is almost over. Anyway this probably won't be as dark as the last one, but regardless, we hope you enjoy it! As I've mentioned in previous stories I'm only going to say this once. Disclaimer: I own nothing except for the OCs.
"This summer has to be one of the busiest and most intense one's I've ever had in my life. I've never been sent on a mission before so it's definitely an experience to cross off the bucket list (just kidding, I don't have one). I mean it feels great to feel how much power is actually surging through me right now; I've never, no, we've never felt this kind of power before, none of us have. It's still dangerous because we can still all lose our humanity, but I'm just glad that I get to be in the water again, I mean Arrow's almost always with me, but we didn't see much of our familiars during the school year, so it feels good to spend time with her. Anyway, these missions were intense; there are so many death eaters at large right now. If Fudge had just admitted that Voldemort was back earlier maybe we could have acted a little bit sooner. I never wanted to kill anyone, it goes against a lot of what I was taught, but it's for the good of this world, and if I have to do it to protect my loved ones and keep myself alive, then what choice do I have?"
Chelsea closed her journal and looked out at the ocean from the seat on the back deck; the sun was setting. Yeah, Grandpa sent them on a mission this summer, and it involved killing death eaters. I didn't make her or any of the others happy, but it was for the good of the wizarding world, they had to protect themselves and their friends.
Anyway, right now it felt good to have some time off. The others seemed to be enjoying it too. Amelia was sitting in the chair next to her, she didn't say a word though; she was wrapped up in another Sarah Dessen novel. Bethany was inside watching MTV on the TV, yes 1996, when MTV still had music videos. Samantha was out in the cave with Claw probably reading another manga, and Jimmy was down in his room with Gollum, probably playing basketball.
"Hey." A voice said snapping Chelsea out of her thoughts.
She turned to see Samantha standing behind her and Amelia's chairs.
"Hey, we thought you'd be reading a manga in the cave with Claw." Amelia said putting down her book.
"I was, but we finished it. What are you two doing?" Samantha asked.
"Well, I was reading too, in fact I'm almost done with this book." Amelia stated.
"God, you guys read so quickly, I'm actually kind of jealous." Chelsea declared.
Both Samantha and Amelia laughed at this.
"Anyway, what were you doing Chelsea?" Samantha asked.
"Oh you know, just writing in my journal." Chelsea replied.
"Is Bethany still watching MTV?" Amelia asked.
"I can hear you, and yes." Bethany called from the family room.
"Is Jimmy still down in his room?" Chelsea questioned.
"Yeah, I don't sure what he's doing though." Samantha replied.
"It's getting late." Amelia said as the last bit of sunlight disappeared behind the clouds.
"Yeah, so what's for dinner?" Samantha asked.
"I don't know. Whose turn is it to make dinner?" Chelsea asked.
"It's both of your turns." Samantha stated.
"Oh yeah, what should we make Chels?" Amelia asked.
"Can it involve meet?" Samantha asked.
"I hate it when you ask that." Amelia commented.
Chelsea giggled at this. "Come on Amelia, we have enough beef left for hamburgers, and I bought extra vegetables last time, so you can make a bigger salad." Chelsea stated.
"Okay, but I'm not touching the beef." Amelia declared.
"I wouldn't expect you to." Chelsea replied as the two headed into the kitchen.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"I can't even remember the last time that we had a real "summer" meal." Jimmy said as the Elementals cleared off the table.
"Well it's not like we had the time or energy to make one last year after what happened." Bethany said.
"Yeah, but let's not talk about that right now." Chelsea suggested.
Suddenly there was a super-fast whooshing sound and, Harry and Dumbledore where standing in the middle of their family room.
"Professor Dumbledore, Harry." Amelia said in shock.
"Have you ever heard of knocking?" Samantha questioned.
"What the hell does he want now?" Jimmy questioned.
"Who knows, but I bet he brought Harry with him to make sure we go with him." Amelia replied.
"Yeah, it's like this time he's making sure we have no choice." Chelsea said.
"Did we even have one to begin with?" Bethany said sarcastically.
"I apologize for the intrusion children, but I'm going to have to ask you all to come with me and Harry." Dumbledore said.
"And where exactly are you taking us?" Chelsea asked.
"You'll find out all of that in good time Miss Aston." Dumbledore replied.
"May we at least have a few minutes to ourselves?" Amelia asked, trying to sound polite.
"Of course children." Dumbledore replied.
"Ugh, we better go tell the familiars what's going on." Samantha declared.
"Here we go again." Jimmy stated.
