Autumn winds;Chapter
3: Secret's Unfold
By:Kaytea
They reached the hospital wing
and Madame Pomfrey was franticaly crying to Dumbledore, "I swear Albus! She was
here after Harry left, I don't know where she could have gone!" Proffessor McGonagall
opened the door and Dumbledore looked up, his face ridden with worry. He
grimaced at the sight of Allison's battered back. Madame Pomfrey's face drained
to a translucent white. "Oh my god, two minutes away from my sight and just
look what happened!"She immediantly performed a blood-clotting spell
(clottigius mulcoficus). She began to
get some medicine for Allison, who whimpered in pain at a slight breeze blowing
by her back. "Albus, the girl….she shielded Harry. I believe it was …..you know
who, but it couldn't have been….it was as if he were invisible! The lights just
went out and ………..i think I need to sit down." Proffessor McGonagall collapsed
on a chair nearby. Dumbledore called for Hagrid, and he asked Harry if he was
alright. "I'm fine, my scar hurt before the lights went out and when they did
it felt like it was ripped open. And I felt Allison run in front of me as soon
as it was dark." He said dazed. Dumbledore bore great pain in his eyes. He took
off his glasses and shined them on his robe. "Uh, sir do you think Voldemort is
still here?" Harry asked curiously. Dumbledore sighed and said "No, I believe
he took off again, if he were still here, Allison would be more worried, but
she seems to know he's gone for now." Allison was behind a tall curtain, and he
saw Madame Pomfrey's shadow applying some medication to Allison's back. "So is
Allison going to stay here then , Proffessor?" Harry asked, his mind pounding
with questions for Dumbledore and Allison. "Yes, she obviously has some magic
in her, but it will take a while for her to catch up on the past 4 years of
lessons, but I have a feeling Miss. Granger wouldn't mind helping her out.
She'll be in Gryffindor in order to stay near you, in case there's another
incident like today. I know she belongs in Gryffindor anyways, due to her act
of bravery today.*pause*Harry? I would prefer if you were to stay here, while I
check out the castle. Then if I am sure it's safe, I'll return and you can go
to the rest of your classes." Harry nodded weakly. He was going to miss a lot
of his classes, and Snape had given them an extra assigment yesterday. Snape
would love to have this chance to give him a detention for not completing it.
Dumbledore must have read his mind because he then said "I will alert your teachers
that you may miss some work, and to not punish you for it"He left and Harry
felt slightly relieved.
He sat down
on the chair next to Allison's bed. And ran his fingers through his hair. He
was worried about Allison. How badly had she been hurt? He was also wondering,
what she meant the night she told him that she was the only thing that stood in
Voldemort's way of taking over the wizarding world and destroying the muggle
world. Madame Pomfrey opened the curtains and told Harry to stay put and make
sure Allison did too. She then went into her office. Allison sat up, her back
must have been feeling better. Harry couldn't take it anymore, he had to know.
"Allison. How do you know my mum?"He asked her. "I guess I've been holding out
on you Harry. You see, your mum and my mum were good friends. My mum was never
good at magic, but she knew your mum long before your mum went to Hogwarts."She
said softly. Harry breathed deeply. "Well, I wasn't old enough to really know
her. I was only about 1 year old. She and your father always visited my mum. My
dad died when I was little, and when your mum and dad came to visit, my mom was
really happy, she missed having an adult to talk to. She only had me. Your mum
would always read us stories, when she put us down for a nap. She told us all
about Hogwarts and how we would grow up to be a great witch and wizard. She
would always make me laugh with a tickling charm……"Harry saw tears in Allison's
beautiful eyes. Harry…never remembering anything about his parents except the
bright green light when they had been killed, was entranced. "Tell me more" He
said,almost begging. "Well, I can't really remember much, but……" Harry
interrupted "So how can you protect me then? I have to know." Well see that's
the part I always have trouble rememebering….I can only remember when you had
fallen asleep after one of Lily's stories, and I was still awake. She told me
how she was afraid, that she would never see us grow up because a bad man known
as Voldemort was after her and James. She needed some one to protect her son
when he was older in case Voldemort ever tried to harm him. She placed a
charm…I think it was a charm at least. That would give me the power to protect
Harry Potter when I was old enough. So I would be strong enough then. But I
can't exactly remember what happened…….I wish I could though. All I know is
that it's my mission to protect you. Otherwise, if I was dead then Voldemort
could kill you and just destroy the muggle world and rule over the wizarding
world. That's why he tried to drowned me!……It's all making sense now! He
couldn't kill me with magic, because he doesn't have enough power yet and
because of the charm your mum put on me, it must protect me from dark magic! He
can only harm me the muggle way!"
Her eyes
widen and Harry felt a chill up his spine. He closed his eyes and tried to
remember his mum. All he could think of was her pleading with Voldermort not to kill him. "Why can't I remember
her?!?" He said angrily. He felt envious that some girl who wasn't even related
to his mum, and was the same age as him, could remember his mum better than
him. Allison reached out and grabbed Harry's hand. She closed her eyes and Harry
did the same. Allison waved Harry's wand and muttered "Memorius restorus",
keeping her eyes clasped shut. Harry's mind felt like it was melting into a
puddle. He felt a jerk and it was like he was in a different place. He felt
invisible. Just like when he had looked in on one of Dumbledore's memories. He saw a young woman of about 24
years old with fire red hair, she was very pretty and slim. Harry would have
almost believed she was one of the Weaslys
without freckles, but then she opened her eyes and they shone a bright green. She was folding a blanket
over a small baby….with dark messy black hair. It was him. Harry saw what he
looked like when he was only about 1 year old. The baby Harry was fast asleep
and his mum went over to the next baby next to him. "Oh Alli, you silly girl.
Aren't you ever going to go to sleep?" He had never heard his mother's voice
when she wasn't pleading with Voldermort until now. She sounded so sweet……almost
like an angel. He watched as his mother lovingly stroked the baby Allison's
head. "Oh Allison, I know you will grow up with my Harry and you two will become
the greatest wizards ever! I just know it!……………..but I'm so afraid I'll never
see you two grow up. I think Voldermort's onto us. I just don't know if the
curse is strong enough to protect us." Harry saw the baby Allison's eyes were a
deep sapphire blue…not their usual teal. Lily Potter placed her hand upoun
Allison's tiny forhead and she said with a shaky voice, "You will protect my
boy, when you are old enough, and strong enough. You will be able to protect my
son, if anything happens to me and James. " Harry watched dry mouthed as his
mum took out her wand, 10 inches, springy, willow. And waved it over the small
child's head. She muttered some strange enchantments, that Harry couldn't make
out. And Lily's eyes filled with tears. Baby Allison blinked and when she
opened her eyes again her eyes were no longer sapphire blue, but an astounding
blue-green. The baby Allison's eyes drooped sleepily and the she drifted off to
sleep. Lily smiled and tucked a blanket around her. She gave the babies each a
kiss on the forhead and closed the door to the room quietly as she left.
Harry felt a jerk and he was back in the Hospital
Wing on the chair. Allison let go off his hand and collapsed,exausted onto
Harry. Who, was too stunned to move or speak..………
