Autumn Winds:Chapter
11;Allison's encounter
By: Kaytea
Harry
went down to breakfast and sat down at the Gryffindor table. Ron and Hermione
were reviewing for exams, much to Ron's detest. Sirius and Autumn were laughing
at Snape, who's bacon was dancing merrily on his plate. Snape was glaring
around trying to figure out who was doing it. Harry sipped his orange juice,
while looking around the large table. "Where's Allison?" Harry asked
worriedly. Hermione glanced up. "Gee, I don't know. She wasn't in the
Girl's dormintory when I woke up." She said looking around the table too.
"Well let's find her, we have charms in 15 mins!" Harry said getting
up. "Anything to stop studying!" Ron said happily. Hermione closed
her book and shoved it in her bag. "Okay...let's go." Sirius and
Autumn stayed behind to make Snape's toast jump up and down.
"Hmmm...that's weird that she's
off on her own.....I didn't see Malfoy at breakfast either, I hope he hasn't
done anything to her." Harry said clutching his wand tightly. They walked
briskly down the hall past the library. They reached the hallway by the stone
witch,(that was really a secret passage way to the Honeyduke's basement.), when
Hermione screamed. Harry and Ron stared at dark figure on the ground. Harry ran
towards it. It was Allison, she was lying there in a bloody heap. She looked
unconcious. Hermione conjered a floating stretcher, and they put Allison on it.
Hermione felt her pulse as they led the stretcher to the hospital wing.
"She's still alive, but her pulse is really slow.....Dear god, I wonder
what happened to her" Hermione said pointing to her torn clothes and the
bloody gash across her shoulder. When they reached the hospital wing, Madame
Pomfrey looked like she might faint. She immediantly began healing Allison.
Clotting the blood, and applying ointments to her wounds. Allison laid in the
bed still with her eyes closed. Harry felt an anger boiling up in his stomach.
Malfoy had to be behind this. There was no way Voldermort could have the strength
to do this. Dumbledore, Sirius, and Autumn came rushing in. "Only the
Headmaster may stay, everyone else out! There isn't enough room in here!!"
Madame Pomfrey ordered. Ron and Hermione left. Sirius,Autumn, and Harry didn't
budge. Madame Pomfrey gave them a raised eyebrow, but Dumbldore told her they
could stay. After several minutes Allison awoke. Harry was holding her hand,
and smiled at her.
She whipped her hand away from him and
started screaming. "No! Get him away, he'll kill me!" She hugged her
knees to her chest and began to rock back and forth. Harry looked bewildered,
as did everyone else in the room. "What's wrong, m'dear? Do you not trust
Harry for some reason?" Dumbledore said kindly. "He tried to kill me.
He....He...tried to...."She broke off in tears. Harry was hurt, obviously
there was some mix up, maybe they put a confusion charm on her? Dumbledore
thought deeply on how to find more information. "We'll have to perform a
memory restoring charm, to find out what really happened." He said
simply. Dumbledore took Harry's hand, who held Sirius' hand, who was holding
Autumn's hand, who was holding Allison's hand, who was holding Dumbledore's
hand. Dumbledore let go of Harry's hand for a second, to wave his wand quickly,
muttering "Memoirus Restorus", he grabbed Harry's hand again. Harry's mind
melted. He was in the hallway outside of the Gryffindor Portrait. He looked and
saw himself all the way down the hallway about to enter the Great Hall. Just
then his attention went to the portrait of the Fat Lady. It opened and out
walked Allison, her teal eyes sparkling in the morning sun. She pushed her hair
out of her face and stopped to tie her shoe. Just then he saw…..what?!?! This couldn't be! There he was,
or at least some one who looked exactly like him. The fake Harry approached
Allison. Allison got up from the tying her shoe, and smiled at Harry, her books
balanced in her arms. "Good morning Harry!" Allison said cheerfully. The fake
Harry remained silent, and took Allison by the arm, he led her towards the
library. "Harry? Where are we going? We should get some breakfast before
charms!" Allison said with a hint of concern in her voice. "Ummm …..it's a
surprise." The voice sounded like him, but not really. It must have been the
polyjuice potion, this was NOT him! Allison continued to walk with him down
the hallway, with a puzzled look on her face. All of a sudden, they stopped at
the stone witch. The fake Harry tapped it's hunchback with his wand and
mumbled, "Dissendium" the back opened up, and the fake Harry lifted Allison
into the back, by then she was shouting at him to let her down, he pushed her
down into it and hopped into it himself. It was dark. Harry could barely see
Allison anymore. She must have hurt herself, because she let out a cry of
pain. Harry's heart ached, who was this monster, who did this to her? The
fake Harry climbed on top of Allison holding her down onto the ground. Allison
screamed in terror, and he put a silent charm on her. Her eyes were filled with
horror, they were bursting in tears. He magically bound her hands, and held her down, his foot on
her ribcage. Allison kicked him violently, and when his foot slipped she
managed to kick him hard in the forehead, leaving a mark from her shoe, but
when she did that the scar on the fake Harry, melted off. It dissapeared.
That meant the Polyjuice Potion was wearing off, they'd find out who it was
soon. The fake Harry took out his wand and held it to Allison's throat, she
laid still, and stopped kicking. The fake Harry paced the tunnel a bit,
muttering stuff to himself, that was unitelligible. Allison wiggled up against
the wall, and got up on her feet silently. She began to creep off into the
dark. The fake Harry hadn't noticed until, there was a squeak from Allison's
shoe on the ground. The fake Harry looked around in the dark for Allison. He
couldn't see her, so he lit a blue fire in a jar. He saw Allison running for
the concrete slide. He panicked and accidently took off the silent charm. He then quickly shouted "Leadius maxmius"
a lead weight shot out at Allison and hit her in the back. She lunged forward,
and fell to the ground. He held his wand down at her, Allison's eyes blinking
to stay concious. He shouted ,"Avada Kedavra", but Allison rolled over, out of
target of the curse. A green light hit the floor and bounced off the ground and
hit the fake Harry. The fake Harry fell to the ground, and Allison crawled up
the stone slide. She pushed herself out of the back of the witch, with all her
strength, and collapsed on the ground. She wriggled the wand out of her pocket
and chocked out, the spell to unbound her hands. She tried to get up, but fell
down and laid still. Everything went black…….
Harry
found himself in the hospital wing again. Everyone let go of eachother's hands,
and Allison got up out of bed. She tried walking, but fell forward. Harry
caught her in his arms. She back away from him, and dizzily walked to the door.
"Someone grab her, she needs rest!" Madame Pomfery shrilled. Sirius tried to
grab her shoulders, but Allison dodged him and ran out the door. They all ran
after her, Dumbledore walked slowly to the door, watching them chase her down
the hallway. "I know where she's going…." Dumbledore smiled and apparated to
the hallway with the stone witch. Allison made it there, breathing heavily,
with Harry, Sirius, and Autumn right behind her. Allison pointed to the witch. "He's
there….he's there." She cried franticaly. She looked like she might faint and
started to fall backwards. Harry caught her again. She gazed dreamily into his
green eyes. Then she gave a startled cry. "Oh Harry! I'm so sorry!" She flung
her arms around his neck. "How could I accuse you of wanting to kill me? I'm so
sorry" She sobbed miserably. Harry held her in his arms, and kissed her head.
Her rubbed her back, to calm her down. Sirius and Dumbledore got their wands
out and tapped the back of the witch shouting, "Dissendium!" It sprang open and
Sirius went in first followed by Dumbledore. Autumn, Harry, and Allison stayed
outside, waiting anxiously. Minutes later, Sirius hopped out , with a somber
face. He grabbed Dumbledore's hand and helped him out, they pulled out a limp
body, that was stiff as a plank of wood. They laid him on the ground , and
Dumbledore's face was the most serious Harry had ever seen. Harry looked
curiously at the face of the body. He gasped in shock……………how could it be? "Dumbledore,
is he…..is he dead?" Dumbledore's face was filled in anger and sorrow, "Yes
Harry……….he's dead."
