Harry Potter and the Missing Piece Part 18
"Harry, Harry! Stop!" yelled Natalie. She had always been very fast for her age, but up until now, it had never been good for anything.
"But Natalie, I have to tell him," said Harry, slowing down as Natalie caught up.
"You don't understand. Sirius and Remus told me to get you. They said not to let you make it to Ron."
"Why?"
"Something about Peter and a Polyjuice Potion."
"I should've known. The other night Ron wasn't acting quite himself. Pettigrew must've taken the potion, just to get me down here so Voldemort could finish me off!"
"Right you are, Harry Potter," came a voice from behind him. Harry knew exactly who it was, too. Turning around, he drew out his wand and yelled "Expelliarmus!"
"Nice try, Potter. But you aren't going to win this one."
"That's what you think. I've beat you four times already. It's all a fun game to me. One you aren't very good at."
"Yes, Harry Potter, it's all just a game. And today you're going to lose."
"That's what you think. But pretty soon Remus and Sirius and Dumbledore will be here."
"Yes, but none of their powers are as great as mine. Oh, Mr. Potter, who's your friend over there. Has she decided to join us? Well, join me, young one. You will have amazing powers that you never dreamed of. And you will be on top of the world."
"I wouldn't join you even if my life depended on it," said Natalie. She had never told anyone, but she already knew all of the dark magic Voldemort was offering. She had been taught at a young age, because the Jermanswipes knew Voldemort would be coming back, and when he did Natalie would have to go to Hogwarts with Harry. She learned it for her own protection. She was also an animagus. An unregistered one. "Well," she thought, "looks like it's time to show this guy who's boss."
"Oh, but young lady, you see, your life does depend on it. Potter's life does too, but he was foolish enough in his first year to decline my offer."
"Well, you see, I don't remember anywhere hearing 'Join the dark lord, because your life depends on it' I heard 'Kill the dark lord, the world depends on it' so if I had to choose between saving my butt and joining you like our friend Peter did or dying as a hero and saving the world, I want to be the hero, thank-you very much."
"Fine, as you say. I see Potter's friends are just as thick headed and big mouthed as he is."
"It runs in the family. But I don't believe you've ever heard the prophecy?"
"What do I care about a silly old prophecy? Avada Kedavra!" but Natalie had started humming and a silver orb surrounded around her and Harry.
"Wow," Harry whispered, "how'd you do that?"
"I'll teach you," Natalie whispered back, "all of the Potters can do it. It's in an old prophecy I found, made over 500 years ago. Any Potter can do it, but most have forgotten about it. Watch this. Ever wondered the real reason why Voldemort was afraid of Dumbledore?" and with that she transformed into a bumble bee. She flew out of the orb and straight at Voldemort.
"AAAHHHHH! Get that thing away from me!" and he ran away from Hogwarts towards Hogsmeade. Harry watched as he apparated once into Hogsmeade.
"But why is he afraid of Dumbledore?" asked Harry. He was all confused.
"Oh, because Dumbledore's name means 'bumble bee." Don't ask what that means, but I think something happened a long time ago. Something we don't know about."
