Harry Potter: A Romance 2
Chapter 2: Dementors
I was at the park wearing shorts and a tank top. It was bloody hot! It was like I was in hell talking with the Devil in his room that's on fire!
"Come on, guys, time to go home," a mother said to her children.
Her child was still spinning on the little carousal.
I looked at the little boy and smiled.
"Come on, love, off you get." She held her hand out to her boy.
"Do we have to?" the boy whined.
"Yes, we do." She smiled. "I'll make you your favorite dinner to compensate." They walked away.
"He squealed like a pig didn't he?" one of Dudley's friends asked.
"Yeah, brilliant punch, Big D. Did you see his face?" Another friend asked.
"Hey, Big D," I said to Dudley from the swings. "Beat up another ten year old?"
"This one deserved it," Dudley answered.
"Yeah," his friends agreed.
"Five against one, very brave," I spoke bravely.
"Well, you're one to talk," Dudley spoke back to me like a bully. "Moaning in your sleep every night? At least I'm not afraid of my pillow." Dudley and his friends laughed at me.
"Don't kill Cedric," Dudley mocked me. "Who's Cedric? Your ugly boyfriend."
"Shut up." I tried fighting back tears.
"He's going to kill me, Harry!" Dudley mocked me again. "Where is Harry? Where is your brother, Potter? He dead?" Dudley and his friends laughed at me.
"Is he dead?!" Dudley shouted.
I got up from the swing and I pointed my wand at his neck.
Dudley's friends laughed at my actions while Dudley while scared.
The suddenly blue light sky became a dark grey.
Dudley's friends stopped laughing.
"What are you doing?" Dudley asked.
"I'm not doing anything!" I yelled.
"We're getting out of here, Dudley!" then Dudley's friends took off.
Dudley and I looked up into the blackness of the sky.
Then we took off running. Of course I was faster than him but I only went a little ahead of him so I didn't leave him in the dust to die.
We ran into a tunnel like thing.
I saw a puddle on the water and it turned to ice. I looked up at the lights and the lights had ice on the surface. The lights started flickering.
When I breathed I saw my breath like it was fog.
I turned my head and there was a Dementor in my face.
It grabbed my neck and pinned me against the wall of the tunnel like thing. It started choking me and sucking out my soul.
"Dudley run," I managed to say.
I didn't have to tell him twice.
I saw the fat boy run and I never saw a fat boy run as fast as he did…I was rather impressed…until he slipped on the ice…
He slid across the floor and another Dementor came in on the other side of the tunnel and started sucking Dudley's soul.
I reached for my wand in right pocket with my left hand. I grabbed it and stabbed the tip of the wand to the Dementor's temple.
It dropped me immediately and flew backwards a little. When it dropped me I dropped my wand and I scampered over to it as the Dementor came towards me.
"Expecto Patronum." I pointed my wand at the Dementor and a ball of light shot out of my wand and it pushed the Dementor out of the tunnel far, far away. I turned to look at Dudley. I stood up and I flung the ball of light at the other Dementor sending it also far away.
I ran over to Dudley and I shoved at him a few times but he didn't budge or speak. "Come on you fat oaf say something!" I commanded.
I expected him to insult me back but he just laid there motionless.
I waved my hand in front of his face. "Hello? Anybody home?" I knocked on his head. "Eh…probably not."
I heard footsteps and I turned around saw Mrs. Figg walking toward Dudley and me. I hide my hands behind my back hiding my wand. "Mrs. Figg."
"Don't put your wand away, Katelyn. They might come back," she said surprising me.
000
(Privet Drive Neighborhood)
I had Dudley leaning on me. Gawd was he ever not heavy?! I had trouble walking with all his weight on me.
"Dementors in Little Whinging, whatever next?" Mrs. Figg asked as we walked down Privet Drive to my Aunt's and Uncle's house. "Whole world's gone topsy-turvy."
"I don't understand. How do you about--?" I started.
"Dumbledore asked me to keep an eye on you."
"Dumbledore asked you? You know Dumbledore?"
"Mhm. After You-Know-Who killed your poor brother last year…did you expect him to let you go wandering on your own? Good lord, girl. They told me you were smart."
My mouth dropped a little. "Hey." I just got told by an old broad.
"Now, get inside and stay there," Mrs. Figg told me as she gently pushed me towards the driveway. "Expect someone will be in touch soon. Whatever happens, don't leave the house."
I stared at her and I nodded.
She shook her head and pushed me towards the door.
I walked inside the house and I heard the TV.
"It is hot. That's right, hot everywhere," the weather man said to his audience.
"Diddykins? Is that you?" Petunia asked as if she was drunk.
I walked in with Dudley still leaning on me.
"Duddy. Vernon, come quick."
Petunia sat on the armrest next to her son while Vernon stood and stared at his son.
"We're going to have to take him to a hospital," Petunia said feeling her son's forehead.
"Who did this to you, boy?" Vernon asked.
Dudley raised his arm slowly and he pointed at me.
I was sitting at the kitchen counted on a stool.
"Happy, are we, now? Eh?" Vernon asked turning towards me. He started walking slowly towards me. "You've finally done it. You've finally driven him loopy."
"Vernon, don't say that."
Vernon turned towards his wife. "Well, just look at him, Petunia. Our boy has gone yumpy!"
I snorted and covered my mouth.
Vernon turned back towards me. "I've reached my limit, do you hear? This is the last I'm gonna take of you and your nonsense!"
Then an owl flew in and dropped letter. I think it was planning on flying back out but it hit the ceiling…and dropped down to the ground hard. It lost some feathers in the process. The owl flew up to the top of the couch and rested there.
The letter it had dropped came up into the air and flew towards me. As it did so a face appeared on it and it said:
"Dear Ms. Potter,
The Ministry has received intelligence that at 6:23 this evening…you preformed the Patronus Charm in the presence of a Muggle. As a clear violation…of the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery…you are herby expelled…from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Hoping you are well, Mafalda Hopkirk."
The letter stopped talking and became lifeless and fell to the floor.
Vernon looked at me like he just won a vengeance. "Justice."
I watched them walk out of the house and to their car. I saw them drive away.
I ran up to my room and slammed the door loudly. I grabbed things and started throwing them around the room. I was about to throw a picture but once I saw it…I stopped.
It was a picture of me and Harry in third year. We were taking a picture in Hogsmeade. We were standing side by side looking silly. It was a moving picture so it was like: 1) We looked at the camera. 2) We did a silly face. 3) We laughed…and 4) We hugged.
Hot tears pricked my eyes and I put the picture down gently.
I took my contacts out of my eyes and placed them into their container. I walked back over to my bed. I got down on my knees and placed my head in the pillow. I cried myself to sleep and I was in a sitting position sleeping.
I was looking around this very familiar grave-yard.
"Katelyn?" I heard a familiar voice ask.
My heart jumped and I turned around. "Harry?"
"Katelyn," Harry said weakly behind a grave.
"Harry!" I yelled and ran over to him hugging him tightly. "Oh Harry! Are you okay? Are you hurt?!"
He shook his head. "No. I'm fine." He stood up carefully and leaned on me.
I looked around and walked over to a grave. "I've been here before."
"It's a Portkey," Cedric spoke to me. "Katelyn, the cup is a Portkey."
I twitched in my sleep a little. "Harry," I groaned.
Cedric pointed his wand at the two. "Who are you? What do you want?"
"Kill the spare," came a hoarse voice.
"No! Cedric!" I stood in front of him.
"Avada Kedavra!" Pettigrew said pointing his wand at Cedric
"Katelyn!" Harry shouted running over to me and Cedric pushing both of us down.
I looked up. "No! Harry!" I screamed loudly.
Before I knew it…Harry was on the ground…lifeless…dead…
Tears poured out of my eyes…
I breathed loud and heavy. My stomach got tied into knots.
"Harry," I whispered.
Voldemort looked at me with his piercing red eyes.
My eyes opened all of the sudden. I sighed and closed my eyes again.
JINGLE, JINGLE
I opened my eyes and placed my glasses on.
The key in my door was turning slowly.
I looked for my wand and I spotted it on my night stand. I got up quietly and shuffled towards it. I grabbed my wand and I pointed it at the door.
He came for me. I knew he would…I may never see my friends again…or my parents…or…Draco…
The key fell out of the keyhole and the door opened and there was a bright light that entered.
"Ah!" I covered my eyes and Hedwig squeaked.
"Very clean, these Muggles," this unfamiliar voice said.
"Tonks, for god's sake," a familiar voice spoke. Moody.
"Unnatural," I'm guessing 'Tonks' said.
She held her arm out and which would explain the bright light. She had purple hair…purple…purple?
I stared at her with my wand in my hand. I kinda observed her. She looked very fascinating. I mean hello she had purple hair!
You don't see many people with purple hair in the Muggle world…come to think of it, I didn't see many witches or wizards who had purple hair.
I lowered my wand. "Professor Moody." I looked confused… "What are you doing here?"
"Rescuing you, of course," he answered simply.
We and a bunch of other people I didn't know walked out of the Dursley's house.
"But where are we going? The letter said I've been expelled," I spoke in confusion.
"You haven't. Not yet. Kingsley take point," Moody spoke quickly.
"But the letter said--."
"Dumbledore persuaded the minister to suspend your expulsion…pending a formal hearing," Kingsley said.
"A hearing?"
"Uh-huh."
"Don't worry, Katey. We'll explain everything when we get back to headquarters," Tonks whispered to me as she put gloves on.
"Shh!" Moody hissed. "Not here, Nymphadora."
"Don't call me Nymphadora." Then…her hair! It turned from PURPLE to a REDDISH-ORANGE!
Moody ignored her and he tapped the ground with his staff.
Tonks shook her head and her hair turned back to purple.
Then our brooms appeared out of nowhere. We all grabbed them.
"Stay in formation, everyone. Don't break ranks if one of us is killed," Moody recited as if it was practiced.
And we were off! Flying!
I smiled hugely and I closed my eyes. The wind felt wonderful as it blew through my hair making my hair fly in all different directions.
I noticed that as we were flying that they had a V-formation. Like a flock of birds would have. I was in middle of the formation.
I looked over at Tonks and she looked at me with intensity. It seemed like she was challenging me. She looked forward and I did too. There was a ship in our path. We both looked at each other and we twirled out of the ship's way.
We landed in a park and our brooms vanished when our feet touched the ground.
"Come on, you, around the corner," one of the garbage truck people said.
Moody opened the gate and we walked into the street. He looked behind him and when everyone was there, he tapped the ground three times.
The buildings in front of rattled and shook. They started separating slowly.
I looked in the windows and saw that the Muggles had no reaction on their face; like nothing was even happening. I looked up at the buildings as they separated. My mouth opened a little in astonishment.
When the building stopped separating a gate popped up out of the ground to connect to the other gates. It looked…like…a mansion.
"In you go, girl," Mood replied looking at me.
I looked at him and then I walked in slowly.
"There've been no sightings."
I heard voices talking.
"No deaths. No proof."
"He almost killed Katelyn. If that isn't proof enough."
"Yes, but guarding you-know-what is the most important…"
Moody got frustrated that I was going so slowly because I was looking at the walls and everything that he pushed me out of his way with his staff.
"We must trust Dumbledore on this."
Kingsley patted my shoulder as he passed me.
"Was he able to protect Katelyn and Harry last year? Well tonight I say it's time to take action."
Tonks winked at me as she passed by me. She tripped over something on the floor.
I snickered.
"Shh. Keep your voices down," I heard Molly Weasley whisper.
"He's getting stronger and stronger by the minute. We have to act now," Sirius said. He saw me and he smiled.
I smiled back.
Mrs. Weasley stood in front of the door. "Katelyn." She smiled and closed the door behind her.
"Mrs. Weasley." I smiled.
She walked towards me with her arms outstretched. "Heavens you're all right." She hugged me and I hugged her back.
I was a bit taken back.
"Bit peaky, but I'm afraid dinner will wait until after the meeting's finished."
I started to say something like stuttering.
"Nope. No time to explain. Straight upstairs, first door on your left."
I walked towards the stairs and I looked back at her.
She smiled even more. "Yeah."
"Mudbloods, werewolves, traitors, thieves," a raspy voice said. "If my poor mistress knew the scum they let into her house…what would she say to old Kreacher?"
Kreacher?
"Oh the shame," Kreacher said.
I stopped walking and I stared at the creature in front of me. I screamed.
Remus ran out of the room and ran upstairs and over to me. "Katelyn?" He had his wand in his hand ready to attack. He relaxed when he saw that I was staring at. "Katelyn. Please do not scare us like that. That's just Kreacher. Sirius's house elf."
"Oh…" I nodded. "All right." I walked up the stairs and I looked to my left. I opened the door and…Hermione hugged me out of nowhere!
"Oh, Katelyn!" Hermione exclaimed.
I hugged her back and I breathed a little heavy since she scared the shit out of me.
"Are you all right? We overheard them talking about the Dementor attack. You must tell us everything."
"Let the woman breathe, Hermione," Ron said with a little laugh.
"And this hearing at the Ministry. It's outrageous. I've looked it up. They simply cannot expel you. It's completely unfair."
"Yeah," I mumbled walking away from her. "There's a lot of that going around at the moment." I sighed heavily. "So, what is this…creepy…haunting…scares the hell out of me, place?"
Ron shrugged. "It's headquarters."
"Of the Order of the Phoenix."
I looked at her and nodded. I sat down on the edge of the bed.
"It's a society. Dumbledore formed it back when they fought You-Know-Who."
"Couldn't put any of this in a letter I suppose?" I asked angrily. "I've gone all summer without a scrap of news!"
"We wanted to write, Katelyn. We really did," Ron proclaimed. "Only…"
"Only what?" I asked trying to be calm.
"Only Dumbledore made us swear not you anything," Hermione answered quickly.
I felt hurt. "Dumbledore said that?"
Hermione nodded slightly.
"But why would he keep me in the dark? I mean maybe I could help. I'm the one who saw Voldemort return…I'm the one that saw my bother get killed!"
Fred and George appeared behind me and I jumped.
"Katelyn," Fred said patting my shoulder.
"Thought we heard your voice," George said.
"Don't bottle it up, though, girl. Let it out."
"If you're all done shouting…"
"Do you want to hear something a little more interesting?"
We stood crowded around the top of the staircase and George lowered the ear done and we heard the conversation like we were actually in the room ourselves.
"If anyone has the right to know, it's Katelyn. If it wasn't for Katelyn…we wouldn't even know Voldemort was back. She's not a child, Molly," Sirius said standing his ground that I deserved to know whatever it was he wanted me to know.
"But she's not an adult either! She's not Lily or James, Sirius," Molly argued with him.
"Well, she's not your daughter."
"She's as good as. Who else has she got?"
Ginny Weasley walked over to us.
I looked at her. "Hey Ginny."
"She's got me," Sirius said proudly.
"How touchingly paternal, Black," Snape spoke. "Perhaps Potter will grow up to be a felon just like her godfather."
"Now, you stay out of this, Snivellous," Sirius warned.
I looked up at them. "Snape's part of the Order?"
"Git," Ron answered.
Snape and Sirius argued but we couldn't hear any of it since Hermione's cat saw the ear and thought it was a toy.
"Get off it!" George whispered.
"Quick!" Fred whispered. "Get it up."
Hermione tapped the banister. "Crookshanks. Stop it."
"Get off you bloody cat," Ron almost yelled.
"Crookshanks. Leave it alone!"
"Get it up," Fred whispered a little louder.
Then…Crookshanks tore it off of the string and trotted off with it.
"Hermione, I hate your cat," Ron stated.
"Bad Crookshanks!" Hermione whispered.
We laughed a little. Then we went downstairs.
"Well, we'll be eating down in the kitchen," Molly told us as we came down the stairs.
Fred and George appeared behind her and she screamed.
"Just because you're allowed to do magic does not mean you need to whip your wands out for everything!" She yelled at her sons.
"Hi, mum," Ginny said calmly as she passed her.
Ron passed his mother also but he stayed clear out of her way.
Molly looked at me and she was all calm again. "You hungry, Katelyn?"
Arthur put his arm around his wife. "You sure you're all right, Katelyn? Gave us quite a turn."
"Katelyn Potter," Sirius said.
Molly and Arthur separated and they looked at the front door as it opened.
"Sirius!" I exclaimed and I hugged him tightly.
He hugged me back and he laughed a little.
"Katelyn why are you hugging him?!" dad asked outraged.
I stopped hugging Sirius and I turned around and saw Dad glaring at Sirius and Mum looking really confused.
"So it is true," Sirius whispered.
"Okay…I think we all need to sit down and talk about this. But later because I am hungry." I walked into the kitchen.
The dinner was quiet and awkward. No one spoke…and when we did it was about my hearing the next day.
When dinner was over everyone left the room except mum, dad, Remus, Sirius and I.
"Alright. Dad…Mum…you need to know the truth," I said getting to the bottom of things. "Sirius did not betray you. That was Pettigrew."
"Peter Pettigrew?" Dad asked stunned.
"Yes."
"No…Black killed him."
"No he didn't! He's alive. I saw his name on the map."
"The map?" Mum asked.
"The map never lies," dad whispered.
"Exactly. He is bloody coward. He sold you and mum to Voldemort. He cut his finger off and transformed into a rat so that everyone would think he's dead."
Dad shook his head and he looked at Sirius. "Sorry, Padfoot."
"Nah! It's all right Prongs. Just glad you're back," Sirius answered shaking it off like it wasn't a big deal.
"There. Now I am going to bed because I have to go to a fucking Ministry meeting tomorrow. So good night." I walked out of the room, up the stairs, into the room I was supposed to be sleeping in and I fell fast asleep.
AN: I am like really tired right now. So I might not update for a few days. Sorry.
