Chapter 11: A Surprise Gift
"We did it," Chelsea said in disbelief.
"We conquered the patronus," Amelia stated in shock.
"Oh, I knew you girls would," Hermione said.
Amelia, Samantha, and Chelsea just looked at her in shock.
"What?" Samantha deadpanned.
"I've seen you guys do it before," Hermione stated.
"When?" Samantha asked.
"You guys," Harry interrupted. "We should go free Sirius before the dementors get to him first."
"Harry's right, let's go," Amelia replied.
"But we all can't fit on Buckbeak's back," Chelsea stated.
"Harry and I will go free Sirius," Hermione declared. "Meet us in the courtyard in front of the clock tower."
"Alright," Samantha agreed.
The girls waited in the courtyard; they honestly thought that Harry and Hermione would show up with Buckbeak and Sirius before they got there; after all, they had to run all the way back.
"Do you think they got to him in time?" Chelsea asked.
"Of course," Samantha replied. "I mean the clock hasn't struck midnight yet, there should still be time."
Right on cue Harry, Hermione, and Sirius were flying down towards them on Buckbeak.
"You guys okay?" Amelia asked.
"Yeah," Harry replied. "Thankfully we got there before the dementors did."
"I'll be forever in debt to all of you for this," Sirius said gratefully.
"You really are the brightest witch for of your age," He said looking at Hermione. Then he looked at Chelsea, Samantha, and Amelia.
"And you three are some of the bravest young witches I've ever met."
"I want to go with you," Harry said to him.
"Maybe someday, but for now you belong here," Sirius said. He took his hands and put them on either side of Harry's face. "You really do look like your father you know. Except for your eyes, you have…"
"My mother's eyes, I know," Harry interrupted.
Sirius walked back toward Buckbeak and mounted the hippogriff, he turned to give the five friends one last smile, and then they flew off. The five Gryffindors were standing there for a while just looking at the sky, that is until the clock struck midnight.
"Come on; we have to get back," Samantha said.
So the five friends sprinted up to the hospital wing.
The five Gryffindors got to the hospital wing right as the clock chimed for the twelfth time. Dumbledore was standing outside the doors.
"Well?" He asked.
"He's free," Harry declared. "We've done it."
"Done what?" Professor Dumbledore fibbed. "Goodnight."
The five friends entered the hospital wing just as their past selves were disappearing.
"How did you get there?" Ron asked.
"You were just there," Jimmy said pointing to the spot where their past selves were.
"And now you're there," Bethany said pointing to them.
"What are they talking about Harry?" Hermione asked jokily.
"I don't know," Harry replied.
"Honestly you guys," Amelia said sarcastically. "How can someone be in two places at once?"
Today was the last day. The Elementals were walking to the Great Hall with Harry, who had just talked to Professor Lupin. The Elementals insisted earlier on accompanying him, but he said he needed to speak to him alone.
"So he's really resigning?" Amelia asked.
"Yeah, he said so himself," Harry said.
"Oh great," Jimmy deadpanned. "The first Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who's not evil and he's leaving."
"Well, at least he gave you the map back," Bethany said.
When Harry and the Elementals reached the Great Hall, their fellow Gryffindors approached them and started to ask random questions, that none of them knew were about.
"Could I have a go Harry, after you of course?" Seamus asked.
"What?" Harry said confused.
"Let the man through," Ron said. "I told them to wait for you, Harry. It was poorly wrapped, and they made me do it!" Ron said pointing an excusing finger at Fred and George.
"No, we didn't!" The twins said in unison.
Harry and the Elementals looked to see that there was a Firebolt on the table.
"Who sent it?" Harry asked.
"No one knows," Ron replied.
"This came with it," Hermione said holding up a large white feather.
"Harry, Samantha, Amelia, and Chelsea just smiled.
"You got one too Samantha," Percy said.
Samantha looked to see an unopened package next to the Firebolt. She opened it to see a new broomstick. Something was quite peculiar the broom; the Elementals looked closer only to see that the wood was covered with fragments from their familiars.
"Grandpa," Jimmy thought.
"What is all that stuff on it though?" Neville asked.
"It looks like, scales of a Peruvian viper tooth, feathers of a phoenix, seaweed, most likely from the mane of a kelpie, hair of an acromantula, and toenails of a gnome," Hermione explained.
"Okay, that's not weird," Ron commented.
"Shut up Ron," Samantha deadpanned.
Harry and Samantha ran out to the courtyard with their new brooms. The other Gryffindors followed them. Harry and Samantha got on, and they took off faster than light. The rest of Gryffindor house just watched in amazement.
"Wow, what can't Grandpa do?" Chelsea thought.
"Nothing, Grandpa, can do everything," Jimmy deadpanned.
"Oh, cool another thought conversation," Bethany exclaimed.
"Bethany, maybe we shouldn't be jumping in like that," Amelia suggested.
"Oh, be quiet Amelia," Bethany replied. "Unless you want me commenting on the fact that you're holding hands with Percy right now."
"Ugh, Jimmy can we end this thought conversation please?" Amelia asked.
