Allison gets up from Harry's bed in the middle of the night and walks in a trance outside onto the grounds

Autumn winds: Chapter 13; The Soul Within

By: Kaytea

Harry jerked awake, his scar was hurting, really terrible too. He put his glasses on and noticed Allison was gone, He saw her on the grounds in her pale white dress. She was walking as if she were in a trance and was walking towards the lake. Harry had a feeling Voldemort might be behind this. So he got his Firebolt and rushed down to the lake. He met up right in front of Allison. She walked right past him, she didn't even look at him. Her eyes were a deep violet and her lips were blood red. Her hair wasn't the usual aburn, but a pale silvery blonde. She was really pale, so white, it didn't look at all like her, but it was her. "Allison! What are you doing? Allison!?!?" Harry asked franticaly. Allison ignored him and kept walking to the lake's surfaces. He firmly put his hands on her shoulders to try and stop her, she pushed him away with a force he didn't think she even had. She kept walking on, not even blinking. Allison dipped her feet in the shallow edge of the lake. "Allison, this isn't the time to go swimming!" Harry said with a hint of annoyance in his voice, his scar was throbbing something terrible. He had to get Allison in the castle, it wasn't safe out here, Voldemort must be nearby. Allison knelt in the shallow waters, so only her legs were in the water. She began muttering things that Harry couldn't understand. He strained his ears to listen. "*Avec cette épée de la mort, je me sacrifie pour rapporter le seigneur foncé à la puissance, de tuer le garçon qui a vécu, de sorte que la toute-puissant foncée règne une fois encore *" (Translation: With this sword of death, I sacrifice myself to bring back the dark lord to power, to kill the boy who lived, so that the dark almighty shall rule once again. ). Allison then smiled evilly at Harry, who's scar was burning his forhead, as if it were on fire. She pulled something bright and glittery out of the folds of her dress. It was a silver dagger. She held it to her heart, Harry ran towards her and tried to pull it away from her, she looked at him angrily, Harry scar had never felt this terrible. Allison ripped the dagger from his grasp and brought it to her throat. Harry yanked it away with all his strength. The dagger went flying deep within the dark waters of the lake. Allison tried to dive into the water to go after it, and Harry grabs hold of her, and slapped her. Harry's scar stung something terrible. Allison stared right at him with an angry glare, then it melted into a smile. Her eyes flashed from teal to violet. She collapsed on the ground, "Please….Harry…he's after me…..go save yourself, it's too late for me." She jibbered panickly. Harry tried to help her up ,but suddenly the color flushed from her face, and her eyes turned a deep violet again. She shoved Harry to the ground and dove into the icy waters. Harry got up and ripped off his cloak. He dove in ,swimming after Allison, who was swimming deeper and deeper. He caught her by the silver heart necklace around her neck. She looked up at him angrily with dark violet eyes. She clawed fiercly at his arm. He didn't care, he pulled her up from the water. And flung her onto the ground. She was fighting conciousness, she screamed , and clutched her heart. She arched her back and screamed and a black cloud came from her mouth. Harry's scar pierced his skin something horrible. The black cloud then dissolved into a pile of silver dust then melted into the ground. The pain in his scar stopped abruptly. Harry knelt down next to Allison who was lying still on the ground. He felt her cold neck. He listened to her heart. Her pulse was gone. Her heart had stopped beating. He kissed her cold lips, and pointed his wand to her chest. He concentrated hard, there had to be a spell…….he mutterd something that he didn't even know and his fingertips grew warm. Allison laid still, and Harry waited in anticipation. Allison's hair began to darken magically, back to a golden auburn. Her skin was warmer and olive color again. Her lips were the normal soft pink, not the blood red they had been earlier. Harry wanted to see her eyes again, the dark violet eyes had scared him when he looked into them, he had seen all his fears and hatreds within them. Allison murmured something that sounded foreign. She slowly opened her eyes, they were a gorgeous teal again. Allison kissed Harry and stared him straight in the eyes, "*Oh mon amour, je vous ai trouvé encore, le foncé est...forever allé.*" (translation: Oh my love, I have found you again, the dark one is gone....forever). Harry stared at her bewildered. "I don't understand a word you're saying!" He said smiling. Allison smiled faintly, " I will always love you…..you're safe now……Voldermort is gone forever." Harry smiled and kiss her lovingly. He helped Allison up, who limped painful. There was a slash on her leg, she must have cut it on one of the rocks in the lake. Harry lifted her into his arms and carried her into the castle.

Major déjà vu! *a/n sorry just wanted to add that in! :^) lol

Once inside the castle, Harry took Allison to the Hospital Wing. She fell asleep on one of the beds as Harry knocked on Madame Pomfrey's office door. She came out wearing a fuzzy pink bath robe, and pink hippo slippers. Her hair was in curlers and she had sprigs of hair popping out all over the place. "Yes, Harry? What's happened now?!?" Madame Pomfrey asked with a dash of annoyance and worry in her voice. "It's, Allison." He said pointing at Allison's bloody leg. "Oh dear!" Madame Pomfrey scrambled about getting bottles of ointments and potions. Harry ran off to Dumbledore's office who was coming down the stairs just then, putting on his wizarding hat. "Harry, what has happened? I sensed Voldermort near." Harry explained to him what happened as they walked to the Hospital Wing. "Yes, it make perfect sense now……I suspected something about Allison, what with her family history. Yes, yes. No wonder why Voldermort tried to take over her body. " Dumbledore said with an excitement as if he had finished a 5,000 piece jigsaw puzzle at last. "What do you mean her family history, Proffessor?" Harry asked with a confused look on his face. "Well, she comes from a pure blood wizarding family. Sirius and Autumn are both pure blood wizards. There for making Allison very powerful. And with Sirius being a deatheater in the past, there's a connection in her blood, just as your scar has given you dark powers, such as parselmouth. " Dumbledore stopped to breathe, and Harry motioned for him to continue. "Ah yes, and so her being a powerful pure blood witch, with a connection of dark powers…..well it made her very valuable. Not to mention that charm that your mother put on her, it made her very protected." " No wonder she has escaped death so often this year!" Harry exclaimed. "Exactly! Voldermort must have tried to possess Allison, so when she killed herself, he would live on in her body. " Harry shuddered at the thought. "So he's gone for sure then?" Harry asked anxiously. Dumbledore grinned, "Yes! From what you told me, about him turning to silver dust and melting, that means his soul has vanished, no body no soul…means that you do not exist. He's gone Harry!" Harry felt weak in the knees. Voldermort was gone, finally all those deaths, his parents, and Cedric's…..Voldermort had been punished for them at long last. He felt like walking on air. They made it to the hospital wing, with Allison arguing with Madame Pomfrey playfully. "Please? I don't want to stay in here anymore…I'll go insane!! I've spent more time in this hospital than at Hogwarts it's self this year!" Madame Pomfrey finished wrapping up her leg in a bandage, "No, 'fraid not. You need your rest, need to keep an eye on you." Dumbledore cleared his throat, and Allison looked up him with pleading eyes. He smiled kindly. "Poppy, perhaps she would rest better in her dormitory tonight? I'm sure she'll be quite safe." He suggested. " You saw what happened to her, and she was in her dormitory all night." Madame Pomfrey exclaimed. "Yes Poppy, I know that, but……..He's gone…..for sure now." Madame Pomfrey dropped the bottle she had been holding. Her eyes lit up and she hugged Dumbledore merrily, and started dancing around the room singing with joy. "Oh thank Merlin's beard! He's gone from our lives forever!……..well I suppose she can go then, but she needs to be careful with that leg." Harry helped Allison off the bed, and supported her as she stood up on her leg, she winced in pain, but walked only with a slight limp. Dumbledore headed to the Owlery to send the minister of magic an owl of the nights events. Harry helped Allison into the common room, and she vanished into the girls dormitory. Harry fell asleep, but kept waking up every hour or so. It was impossible to sleep, after what had happened.

A/N: Sorry, I know there hasen't been a Quidditch match yet, Since Voldermort was at the castle so often Dumbledore had canceled the Quidditch matches for the fall season, so the spring season they'll have matches, ok?

Alright, I'll finish the story tommorow, ok? I didn't read through this to check for typos, because it's midnight here, and I'm so tired.

Luv, Kaytea

A/N: I am not sure if that is a correct translation, to late to try and make the translation with my 4 years of french, so I used an online translator, ok? So it may not be correct, so don't hurt me!

Yes I also know, Allison "almost" dies a million times, sorry! It must be getting boring!
