Autumn Winds;Chapter 8:Autumn speaks

By:Kaytea

                Harry awoke to a pair of bright blue-green eyes staring right at him. "Merry Christimas Harry!!!!" Allison said happily. Harry put his glasses on and saw Allison was levitating above him. "Floating charm" she said answering his puzzled look. She handed him a gift, which was wrapped in shimmery purple paper, that had moving stars on it. Harry unwrapped the gift and found a silver frame, It contained two pictures in it. On the left side in the frame, there was a picture of Allison and Harry as babies of no older than a year. In the right was a picture of Allison and Harry, that Colin Creevy must have taken of them arriving at the Yule Ball. The people in the pictures were waving up at Harry, and the Yule Ball Allison blew Harry a kiss. "I need to come up with something new, I've been only giving you pictures as gifts!" Allison exclaimed. "No, I love it." Harry said, placing the frame on his beside table. "Here's yours." Harry handed her a package in red and gold wrapping. She opened it up and out lay a silver necklace with a silver heart charm on it. When Allison touched it, the heart glowed rosy pink. She put it on and hugged Harry. "I love it, thank you!" As Allison left Harry's 4 poster bed to go wake up Ron, he laid back, and remembered the past week. It had been crazy. Allison returned with Hermione and Ron. They all opened their presents. Hermione was throwing her arms around Ron, thanking him for this book she had been dying for, but hadn't been able to find it. Ron laughed, "Books to Hermione is romance." They all laughed. After the presents were all unwrapped, they headed down to the Great Hall for Christmas Breakfast, a lot of people were gone for Christmas vacation. They all sat at one table with the teachers and a couple of boys from Ravenclaw and some HufflePuffs. "It's a good thing Malfoy went home, I wouldn't be able to enjoy my Christmas with him here." Harry said, sitting down in his seat. Dumbledore was opening up wizarding crackers and received a large hat with a stuffed vulture on it, just like Neville's grandmother's hat. He plopped it on his head and continued opening crackers. After breakfast and opening many crackers, Allison had a jar of tiny miniture fireworks, that kept going off, filling the jar with beautiful colors. Also, a gooey eyeball that blinked and looked around, some chocolate frogs, and streamers that sparkled and screamed whatever you told them to scream.

 They went outside. For Christmas Day, the weather was surprisingly warm. Allison took off her shoes and dangled her feet in the lake. Hermione and Ron, went on a "walk". Harry sat next to Allison, she teasingly pulled him closer to her and kissed him. Then she got up and waded in the shallow outer side of the lake. "Come and get me Harry!" She said with a devious smile on her face. Harry took of his shoes and took after Allison. She ran screaming in laughter from Harry, by the shore of the lake. Harry caught up with her, and held her in his arms and kissed her. Allison, pulled Harry down onto the water's surface, and kissed him even more. Harry was sopping wet from the lake and they got up, ready to head back to the castle,  They slipped their shoes back on, and started walking back to the castle. Allison held Harry's hand and they walked off to the castle with the sunset behind them.  They went back into the Great Hall and ate a grand feast. Harry and Allison explored the grounds, opening doors they's never seen before. One room was filled with pink bubbles floating everywhere, and when one popped it giggled. Another one was all blue except a red ceiling, and it would rain and they get sunny every 10 minutes. After an hour or so of exploring,  they headed back to the common room. Harry laid down on the couch next to the fire. Allison curled up next to him, and they laid there in eachother's arms,  Harry kissed Allison passionantly, and held her close to him.  He heard Allison sigh,  "I can't imagine myself without you, I'm so happy you came into my life." Harry said lovingly. "I'm so happy to have found you Harry, I've never been so happy" Allison breathed.  There was music playing from the Great Hall, that could be heard all the way up into the common room. "You know Harry……I  never got to dance with my handsome escourt." Allison said sweetly. "Well….may I  have the honor of this dance?" Harry said getting up.  "You most certainly, may" Allison said sitting up. Harry handed her his hand and she took it getting on her feet.  He placed his arms around  her waist, she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her head on his shoulder.  They danced to the slow beat of the music downstairs. Harry lifted Allison's chin and kissed her so softly,  their lips barely touched, then he kissed her with so much passion , Allison went limp in his arms. "Oh Harry………" she sighed happily. She ran her fingers through his hair, and rested her head on his chest. Harry planted kisses down her neck, and held her closer to him, they kept dancing till what seemed like midnight.  And they feel asleep in eachother's arms on one of the couches.

Harry woke up the next morning to someone shaking him. He opened his eyes, expecting to see Allison, but instead staring back at him was Proffessor McGonagall. "Potter, wake up! Dumbledore needs to see you in his office." Harry rubbed his eyes and fixed his glasses. Proffessor McGonagall was helping Allison up to her feet. She sent her off to her dormitory to get dressed. Proffessor McGonagall told Harry to leave for Dumbledore's office immediantly. Harry nodded sleepily. Proffessor McGonagall called out after him, "The password is 'moth balls'!!!!"  Harry made it to Dumbledore's office and took a seat. Dumbledore was there with a very frustrated look in his eyes. "Harry, I'm afraid I have some bad news. And some good news……….The bad news is that Voldermort is not dead, as I had hoped. Since he was immortal, the Kedavra cuse could not kill him." Harry looked dissapointed."However, the cuse weakened him so, that his body is gone and he is just a floating spirit, looking for a body. Which we unfortunantly know he can do very easily. But it will take him time to get strength enough to come and find you again." "The good news is, Allison's mother has come to see her . She's very happy that Allison is here, and safe, and will be allowing her to return next term to graduate from Hogwarts." Harry's eyes lit up. "Where is she now Proffessor?"  Harry asked anxiously. "She is in the Great Hall enjoying her breakfast and chatting with Proffessor Flintwick, now go get dressed and then go to the Great Hall for breakfast."

               

Harry did just that and gulped down his breakfast quickly. He had so many questions for Allison's mum, she knew his parents and she could tell him so many things. Allison came into the somewhat empty Great Hall, (everyone was still on Christmas vacation). Allison ran towards the staff table and hugged a woman who was sitting down next to Flintwick. Harry assumed this was her mum, so Harry got up and walked over to the staff table too. "Oh Mum! I've missed you ever so much!" Allison said hugging her mother tightly. Allison's mum, was medium height, very slender, with long auburn hair and beautiful sapphire eyes. She looked a lot like Allison, except for her hair being long and having blue eyes. "Allison! It's been so lonely without you at home, but I've heard what a wonderful witch you've become!" Allison blushed with pride. Allison noticed Harry standing there, and brought him forward. "Mum, this is my umm…..friend,  Harry Potter." Mrs. BeauxYeux's eye's got big as she held out her hand and shook Harry's. "Pleased to meet you Harry, you're exactly as I remember you, Those bright green eyes and black messy hair." She said with a smile. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. BeauxYeux." Harry said politely. "Please, call me Autumn." Allison's mum said with a hearty laugh. Harry grinned. "Well why don't you guys give me the grand tour of this place?" Autumn said merrily. "Sure, Mum." Allison said eating a piece of toast.

They left the Great Hall and showed her all the classes they took and the dugeons. After plenty of walking, they settled down in the common room. "Wow, sure brings back memories of my days here." Autumn said glancing around the common room. There was an awckward silence and she noticed that Harry and Allison were staring back at her in disbelief. "Mum….you went here?" Allison said confused.  "Oh….did I say that?!? Oh geez……I guess I'll have to tell you sooner or later." Autumn said nervously.  "Well…..yes I did go here, for about 5 years. But I was one of the worst students. Dumbledore was very kind and let me stay, giving me hope that I could do magic, but it was impossible. I am a Squib………so I dropped out and went to regular muggle school and lived my life as a muggle. " Allison and Harry clung to her every word. Autumn continued her story, "Allison, you may not have known this, but our family are pure blood wizards. That's why I'm so happy that you can do magic. But there is something else I haven't told you Allison…………" Autumn looked nervously at Allison and Harry, but took a deep breath and continued to speak, "Your father is not dead." Allison gasped and looked like she might faint. Harry held her up. "He's been in Azkaban, the wizarding prison for many years. I was just too ashamed to tell you that your father was a criminal. So I raised you telling you he was dead. " Allison's lower lip trembled, "Since BeauxYeux, is your maiden name, what is my REAL last name then?" Tears were filling Autumn's eyes, "Your name should be Allison…………………………….Black."
