AN: Yeah, it's been a month. I apologize. With school starting back up again and homework, I haven't had much time for writing or typing, but I absolutely REFUSE to abandon my stories.
DISCLAIMER!!!!!!! I don't own Code Lyoko or Harry Potter
Chapter Eleven: Home Again
Aelita POV
I really hoped that Hermione got Harry's DNA sequence code reinstalled. I had to know if he was okay.
"Harry's here," Hermione's voice said. "He came back unconscious, but I felt a pulse."
"Odd, devirtualize me," I said.
I heard two clicks from Odd's paws and felt like I was disappearing. The next thing I knew, I was in the scanner with my Ravenclaw robes on instead of my usual pink outfit. Harry was lying on the ground, pale, but he had his eyes open. He was going to be okay.
I rushed over to him. "How do you feel?" I asked.
Harry sat up, with the support of the wall behind him, and simply said: "Starving. Spending a day on a virtual world, getting attacked, saving said world, escaping a disappearing Sector, and fighting monsters can do that to a guy. I just feel a little tired and hungry."
"Speaking of food, I'm hungry," Ron said.
"But you had an enormous breakfast this morning!" Hermione said, exasperated.
"Still hungry."
I laughed. People in Ravenclaw don't make jokes very often. We normally study. I haven't been around Odd lately either. "Stay and try to rest, Harry," I said. "We'll bring you some food. This room is called the Room of Requirement. You can make anything but food appear."
"That's quite useful," Hermione said.
We walked out of the Room of Requirement and to the Grand Staircase.
"Hey Aelita," Ron said, "Jeremie said, 'We wouldn't want Harry to end up in France'. Do you live there? Why didn't you go to Beaubatons?"
"Yes I live in France," I said. "When I'm not here, I'm at Kadic Academy, where my friends go to school. I toured Beaubatons a couple of years ago, but I like Hogwarts better. I also need the Room of Requirement so that I can get to Lyoko to stop XANA."
We walked into the Great Hall after I finished talking. I walked over to the Ravenclaw table and sat down between Luna Lovegood and Lisa Turpin and started eating. The rest of the day was uneventful: I packed my things; I talked to my Hogwarts friends, and called the other Lyoko Warriors.
At the End-of-Term Feast, I got all of my new friends' addresses, like Jenny Strickland. I fell asleep that night with happy thoughts: I was thinking about seeing all of my friends at Kadic.
Dumbledore told me last year that I should Floo back to the Hermitage (the place I lived at four years with my parents before the XANA and Lyoko stuff) every year. I couldn't really take the Hogwarts Express back because nobody could pick me up.
I walked down to Dumbledore's office, my things shrunk and in my pocket. I met Hermione along the way, to my surprise.
"Hey, Hermione," I said. "So, why are you going to Dumbledore's office?"
"Since Voldemort came back, I'll be trying to create a spell this summer that can allow us to use our Lyoko forms and powers in the real world. Of course, I will need permission from Dumbledore. Why do you need to see him?"
"I need to Floo to the Hermitage, where I used to live, up until four years ago. Is Harry getting better?"
"He got all of his natural color back, thanks to him resting and eating. He went to Dumbledore's office earlier this morning to tell him everything about what happened in Sector 5 and how you two are related."
We finally reached the gargoyle statue that is outside in the Entrance Courtyard. "Cockroach Cluster," I said to it. It jumped aside, and the spiral staircase moved upward. Hermione and I climbed it, and I knocked the door. "Come in!" said Dumbledore's voice, and Hermione opened the door.
"Miss Hopper," he said, "you will be spending the summer with the Weasleys, Ronald's family. Mrs. Weasley was happy to hear that Harry has another close relative. When you receive news of XANA attacks, as you might say, you can use their fireplace to get to the Hermitage. Miss Granger, to what do I owe this pleasure?"
"I'd like to have permission to create a spell that can allow people to use his or her Lyoko form and powers in the real world. If Voldemort and XANA are joining forces, we're going to need our forms and powers."
"You have my permission, Miss Granger," the headmaster said. "We wouldn't want the Ministry of Magic to find out. They already think I'm an old fool."
I was overjoyed at the thought of meeting the other Weasleys, but I really wanted to see my friends again. I was looking forward to seeing them more often and just hang out. It was almost like the "good ol' days" all over again.
"Aelita, you may go see your friends on the weekends," Dumbledore said. My sadness for not seeing my friends as much must have shown on my face.
My heart lifted. I felt my face turn instantly, just in a heartbeat, phase from gloomy to joyful.
"Girls," the headmaster said," you need to hurry if you're going to catch the train. Chop chop!" Indeed it was almost time to go.
AN: Yeah, I know, it's been a while, but I apologize again. I might come out with a Warriors story soon. I still have to think of a title, but it's coming along: It'll take place in the first arc.
Like I said a chapter or two ago, in this story, Aelita spent four years in the computer, and she did age. She went in when she was eight and came out when she was thirteen. Don't forget to vote on my poll!
