Chapter One

No one's P.O.V.

Harry walked down the road of a field heading in the general direction of the Dursley's house. It was amazingly cloudy for the hottest summer day of the year. Harry walked to a little playground and sat on the swings watching the oncoming storm. He was happily thinking of Hogwarts when Dudley and his friends showed up. Dudley's friends started teasing him about his looks.

Stella's P.O.V.

I was hiding in a bush by the playground watching Harry get teased by his cousin. I knew I shouldn't have come in the first place, but couldn't resist. I shivered slightly and brought my eyes to my arms seeing goose pimples appear. I stared in wonder as a flower under my sneaker froze over with pure ice. Dementors. "Shit" I quickly ran to a bush closer to the underpass and looked back to the playground hoping Harry would realize the danger. Finally it started to pour but I stayed. Harry finally caught on to the cold sensation and pulled Dudley towards the underpass. I flattened myself behind a tree as the two boys ran past me into the shelter… if you could call it that.

Harry's P.O.V.

I noticed the cold feeling that could only mean dementors and grabbed hold of Dudley while running to the underpass. We stood there catching our breath, but I kept my ears and eyes open knowing what might be around the corner. After leaving Dudley at one end of the tunnel I thought I saw movement by the entryway. Screams erupted from behind me. I turned and a dementor was trying to kill Dudley. I got my wand out and ran to help but another dementor appeared. It knocked me against the wall and I dropped my wand. I struggled to get my wand knowing that if I didn't it soon, all would be lost.

Stella's P.O.V.

I watched Harry as he struggled against the dementor. I debated rushing out there, spells blazing, but that would risk exposure. Meaning not so happy guardians. I cursed my magnanimous rearing as I silently crept into the underpass trying to keep out of Harry's line of vision. I could always help, not be seen, and no one would know I was even here. I took out my wand standing ready to help. Harry grasped his wand, but he'd been in contact with the dementor too long. He just kept opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water. I stepped forward.

Harry's P.O.V.

I struggled but got my wand but saying the spell was hard while having the happy sucked out of you. I looked to my left and saw a girl standing right out of the corner of my eye. I tried again to say the spell but nothing came out. I looked to the girl silently begging her to help. She looked at me for one more second, then yelled the Patronus Charm and a tiger shot out. It attacked the dementor that was on me. I fell to the floor, grasping my neck, sucking in the air like I'd never had it before. I turned to thank the girl but she had disappeared.

~Strange~ I thought, but I turned to Dudley. I ran over yelling the Patronus Charm, taking down the dementor attacking him. Dudley fell to the floor in a fetal position pale, shivering and talking gibberish. ~Why would dementors attack in the middle of the day? ~ I wondered as I put Dudley's arm over my shoulder and helped him walk back to the house.

Once there Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon proceeded to pamper and fret over Dudley. "What happened boy?" Uncle Vernon asked walking up to glare right in my face. When I wouldn't say anything he walked back over to Dudley. "Who did this to you?" Aunt Petunia asked Dudley stroking his face. He shakily pointed a hand at me.

"I didn't do anything to him." I said in my defense slightly raising my hands. Then a bang on the door scared the begeezez out of all of us. Uncle Vernon walked over and answered the door but came bounding back in terrified. He went and sat on the couch. Then in walked Mad-eye Moody, Lupin, Tonks and a strange man I had never seen before. "Harry." Moody greeted as he walked in.

"What are you all doing here? Summer isn't over." Moody smiled, "Were going to take you to the head quarters for the rest of summer until school starts." I smiled very pleased with the turn of events. "But we first have to talk to you about them dementors." The strange man stepped forward "The Ministry is in an uproar, blaming you for doing magic in front of a muggle."

"But I had to it was self defense!" I yelled standing up. "Would they rather I had died?" I started mumbling obsanities. Tonks smiled at my cussing. ~Wait a minute!~ I stopped in realization. I turned to Moody, "But I wasn't the only one there who used magic."

Moody turned to me sharply and got right in my face peering down at me, "what you saying boy? Someone else used magic there?"

I nodded "A girl appeared out of nowhere, saved me, before vanishing." Moody made one of his angry faces and turned to Lupin. He whispered in Lupin's ear quickly, Lupin nodded, and Moody left the room.

Tonks walked up to me smiling "Now Harry grab your things and we will be off." I smiled back at her before running up stairs. When I came back down they were all arguing. Tonks noticed and shushed everyone. They guided me outside and Tonks apperated my luggage ahead of us.

"How are we getting there?" I asked, they all smiled and our brooms appeared in front of each rightful owner. We hopped on and were off flying over London. As I flew one question rang through my mind ~Who was that girl who saved me? ~
