Harry Potter and the Mysterious New Magic Pt: II

A/N: Well, here's part II to Harry Potter and the Mysterious New Magic. Thank you to all the people that reviewed and e-mailed me. The R/H romance still slowly develops while the H/C actually appears here.

Chapter 6: Cho Chang

When the feast ended, Ron and Hermione lead all of the Gryffindor first years up to the tower, so Harry went to bed by himself.

That night, Harry couldn't sleep. He was too excited to be back at Hogwarts, plus Sirius said in his last letter that they were having his trial held soon. But soon his mind wandered off and he began to worry. His mind kept on asking questions he didn't know the answer to.

'Have they caught Sirius?'

'Has he been given the Dementor's Kiss?'

'Will Sirius be set free?'

'Will Voldemort become invincible?

'Will Voldemort destroy more people?'

'Will he destroy me?'

Harry decided to go for a stroll around the castle to calm his nerves. As he grabbed his cloak and was walking toward the common room, he heard Ron giggle in his sleep.(A/N: Can ya guess what he's thinkin about???)

*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry had been walking for about 20 minutes before he arrived at the lake. He noticed that he wasn't the only person there.

"Cho?" Cho gasped and turned around to find Harry. Her face showed signs that she had been crying for the past half hour. She started to quietly sob once more. Harry just took her in his arms and hugged her tightly. He wasn't sure about what she was crying about, but he was pretty sure it had something to do with Cedric.

Soon, her cries died down and Harry looked at her. She had fallen asleep in his arms. Deciding not to wake her, he leaned back and drifted into a deep sleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

A few weeks later, Harry and Cho had gotten closer to each other, occasionally blushing when they accidentally touched or when their faces got inches apart from each other. Harry knew he still had feelings for her, but wasn't sure if she had the same for him. So he decided to wait and see what develops, but one does have their limits.

Harry and Cho were in the library. Cho was studying for a Transfigurations test and helping Harry with his Charms essay at the same time.(A/N: Wow, ain't she wonderful??? J/K)

"Cho, how's that?" Harry asked as he gave Cho his parchment.

"Fine." she handed it back to Harry. As he took it from Cho, he lightly touched the top of her hand. Harry blushed furiously. He looked at her and noticed that she had gotten prettier over the years, if that was possible. She was placing a lock of hair behind her ear. It came out and went in her eye. She put it back. It came back.

"Urgh!!" Cho groaned.

"Here, let me help." Harry said. He put the ignorant lock back behind her ear. But then he surprised Cho and even himself when he pulled her closer and closer to his face and then their lips touched.

Cho pulled away from the kiss.

"Er..I have to go." She quickly grabbed all her things and rushed to the door.

Harry was mentally kicking himself.

(A/N: awwwww.......)

Chapter 7: The Meeting

Cho was running toward the Ravenclaw Common Room.

'Why did I run? He actually reached up and kissed me, and I run? Stupid, stupid, stupid.'

When she passed the kitchen, something invisible yet very strong clasped a hand around her throat and pulled her in....

*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning Harry walked in to the Great Hall looking sullen. He slumped down next to Ron and Hermione, who were talking about an upcoming dance that they had to plan. They hadn't even noticed Harry walk in. A small hand went on his shoulder.

"Cho?" Harry croaked out.

She bent down and whispered in his ear, "Meet me after breakfast next to the Whomping Willow." and with that she walked over to the Ravenclaw table.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry was at the Whomping Willow a bit early than he had intended to be, but he had to know what Cho wanted. Did she want to apologize to him and kiss him back? or Did she want to break off the friendship completely? Harry desperately hoped it wasn't the second one.

Cho walked up to him grinning. He took that as a good sign.

"Close your eyes," she commanded softly.

He willingly did so. He waited for a kiss, but all he heard was flapping. He opened his eyes, and right in front of him was a creature he had never seen before. It had large purple wings, skintight armor all over its body besides its neck and face and it had a mask on. On the mask there was a large blue colored gem in the middle of the forehead. It looked so much like a human, but yet it didn't. It started toward Harry at an incredible speed. Harry yelped, but then there was something that blocked the attack that whooshed right in front of him.

Chapter 8: First Attack

Harry stared at the 2 figures in front of him. One was the creature that tried to attack him and the other was the new Asian girl.

'What was her name?? Melinda or something?'

They both fought pretty well actually. Both blocking each other's attacks and returning it. Soon it went from a fistfight to a Fight to the Death. Harry shook out of his daze and started running toward the castle to get Professor Dumbledore. As soon as he got to the front doors of the castle, Professor Dumbledore and Madame Pomfrey were rushing out.

"Where are they?" Dumbledore asked forcefully.

"Next to the Whomping Willow." Harry replied.

The three of them hurried over to the Whomping Willow. Harry now noticed that the creature was flying and lunging down at the new girl, while the new girl dodged them and awkwardly, she somehow made a sword materialize in her hand. The creature had more of an advantage, so naturally, Harry wanted to help the new girl, but Dumbledore stopped him.

The creature brought its hand back and clawed into the new girl's skull. She fell down bleeding by the buckets. The creature flew up about a hundred feet then dove toward her. She sensed her coming back, so she grabbed her sword and pointed it upward as the creature made its final attack.

The weird thing was that the creature didn't bleed. It just stood there with its head on a sword.

All of a sudden, it seemed that the sword was sucking in the creature. Within a second, the creature was gone. The girl muttered something incoherent and her sword vanished. She collapsed.

Chapter 9: Revealing the Past

Dumbledore magicked her onto a stretcher and ordered Madame Pomfrey to treat her wounds while he questioned Harry.

"So, Harry, what were you doing near the Whomping Willow during breakfast?" Professor Dumbledore asked Harry as they entered his office.

Harry thought a while. He wasn't sure if that was the real Cho or not. But he decided to tell Professor Dumbledore the truth, or at least of what he knew of it.(A/N: Does that make sense?)

"I was supposed to meet Cho there." Harry replied.

Dumbledore sighed. Harry tried to figure out what kind of sign that was. 'Was he mad or ashamed or what?' Harry wondered.

"Well, we found Miss Chang tied up in the kitchens unconscious."

Harry's heart leaped. So that wasn't the real Cho that was trying to kill him. He still had a chance with her. But Harry's thoughts drifted off. He had a different question he was sure that Dumbledore wouldn't answer quite truthfully.

"Why did the she come and rescue me? How did she know?" Harry asked.

"I'm sure Madeline wouldn't like for me to tell you about her without her presence, but since you both have so much in common, I'm sure she wouldn't mind." Dumbledore said.

'So much in common?' Harry thought. 'What does he mean by that?'

"You see, Harry, during the summer, Lord Voldemort has been doing some....traveling. About 2 months ago, he went to America. There he got more supporters and more enemies. He gained one important Death Eater that supposedly belonged to a long family of Aurors.......

(Death Eater's POV)

I can't believe it! I'm actually here, working for the all mighty Lord Voldemort. I was so delighted when he accepted me. He treated me better than Father ever did. Just because I don't make good grades in school and often run away from home, he thinks I'm "dishonoring" our family. Then there's Mother, whom was always traveling to other countries to defeat some other dark wizard/witches. I think I've seen her a bout a total of 10 hours in my whole entire life. She never sent a letter or even a postcard for that matter. The only that actually cared for me is my little sister, Madeline. Such a small and sweet girl. I tell her almost everything, well, everything except this, and she always knows how to make me feel better. Just because of her, I turned myself in to Professor Dumbledore whom, I heard, was the most powerful wizard in the world. He said that I should become a "Secret Death Eater". So I did, and that's how I ended up here. Lord Voldemort must havefound out from that nasty little Peter Pettigrew, whom once was my friend. Lord Voldemort sent me to my own home, to destroy my family.

I barge in through the front door, with Him behind me. My parents were sitting in front of the television set watching the muggle news. Before they had anytime to reach their wands, Voldemort cried out Crucio' and tried to squeeze out information about other Aurors and how they plan to defeat him. When they wouldn't do anything but scream, he yelled out Avada Kedavra' and they died in an instant.

I just sat there, angered, frustrated and mournful all at the same time. I mean, I disliked my parents, but I never wanted them dead. Right then, my little sister comes through the door with many books in her hands. She must have stayed at the library, her favorite place. When she saw Mother and Father on the living room floor, dead, I knew that she had died on the inside. She ran to their bodies crying and sobbing, praying that they would come back, that this was just a dream. I felt the same. But something caught my eye. Voldemort was raising his wand to destroy my little sister, the only one that loved me like I was. So, I did what any decent person would do. I ran and pushed my sister out of the way of the curse. I could feel the searing pain go through my whole body. But I thought, I deserved this, after being born such a horrible son, I should die being a noble brother.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry felt very commiserating toward Madeline now. After all that, she had been through quite a lot. Harry didn't even remember watching his family members die. Plus, her brother was involved, while he was an only child.

"She also is in worse shape. She believes that her family's death was all her fault. And from then, she's been sent from America to here. Tom told me she didn't even leave the room she stayed at. I assume that she hasn't eaten since the incident either because she certainly isn't now."

Dumbledore looked at Harry's stricken face. "Look I'm sorry to bring this upon you so abruptly, I just thought you'd like to know."

Harry nodded.

"If you like, you may visit Miss Chang in the Hospital Wing. I'll tell Poppy to let you in."

"Thank you."

*~*~*~*~*~*~

When Harry arrived at the Hospital Wing, Cho jumped into his arms and they both tightly hugged each other, holding on as if the world was ending.

"I'm so sorry Harry," she whispered with tears streaming down her face.

Harry was about to ask her what she was sorry about, but he was distracted by the fact that Cho had just kissed him softly and he kissed back.

Chapter 10: Welcome Back Padfoot (A/N: 2 words, "Sirius Rules!!" Thank You.)

A few weeks after the 'incident', Harry's was back to normal, or at least as normal it could be at Hogwarts. One day he got a letter from Sirius, his godfather.

Dear Harry,

I'm very sorry for not writing back sooner. I was in Scotland

for a while, when I was encountered by Dementors and nearly

captured. Some muggle family saw them and started to scream,

so they ran off, so they wouldn't get into any trouble with the

Ministry. How is school? How are Ron, Hermione, and Professor

Lupin? You will be getting your late birthday present soon, it

will be delivered personally.

Sirius

Harry was so excited. Sirius was coming to visit him, but for how long?

*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry was wandering the castle in search for someone to talk to. Ron and Hermione were in the common room arguing about what the decorations for the upcoming ball were going to be. Cho had Quidittch practice.

"Tis Mister Harry Potter?" a familiar voice interrupted his thoughts. He looked at where the voice came from.

It was Dobby.

"Oh, hello Dob-ugh!" Harry managed to say before Dobby tackled him and hugged him forcefully.

"Mister Harry Potter has returned!!" Dobby said gleefully.

"Ahem,"

They both turned around. It was Winky holding 2 Dinner plates and 2 goblets at her feet. She looked a bit more cheerful now than last year.

"We need go to give mistress and her friend dinner, Dobby." Winky said.

Harry wondered whom they were talking about.

"Would Harry Potter like to come and give dinner to Mistress and her friend?"

Harry nodded and they walked toward Professor Dumbledore's corridor.

"Chocolate Frogs" Dobby said excitedly, wanting to show off Harry Potter to Mistress.

They went inside, but instead of going toward Professor Dumbledore's office, they went the opposite way. Winky knocked on the door.

"Come in,"

The three of them entered. Harry noticed a well-known shaggy dog in the corner.

"Would Harry Potter like to stay for dinner?" Dobby asked.

"Yeah,"

"Then, we shall bring Harry Potter dinner." Dobby and Winky left.

Harry went into a corner and patted the dog on the head.

"Hey Sirius."

And with a sudden POP, Sirius was hugging Harry.

"Happy Birthday, Harry."

A/N: End of this Part. SO sorry to everyone. I had a real busy week this week. I hope you liked this part. I'm not a real good romance writer so if it sucks, then just say so, but if you like it, say so too. I also hope you like the "Death Eater POV" thing. It was kinda hard to explain something like that. You can review in the lil box down there and if you want, you can e-mail me with suggestions for upcoming parts. Thanks to Charlz for the building up romance part for Ron and Hermione. The next part should be out either tomorrow or Saturday. And another thing, I read all books, but I only own the first and fourth one, so my memory might be hazy. If I did something wrong please tell me!!!

Disclaimer: I only own Madeline, her past, her sword, her incoherent words, and Harry and Cho's kiss. But if J.K. Rowling wants it. She can have it.
