Chapter 6: Lightning Revealed
Harry stopped to let Sky catch up to him in the corridor. They were on their way to potions. Sky leaned over and whispered to Harry.
"My powers were released last night." Harry whirled around and stared in shock at her.
"What?" Harry exclaimed, "Well that's great!" Sky grinned at him, making his stomach flip flop. Harry managed to keep his voice calm; not realizing Sky was having the same problem.
"Yes, well, grandfather was very pleased," Sky informed Harry, "and now it's your turn Harry." "I hope you do well!" Harry just grinned at her as they walked into the potion's classroom. Sky pulled Harry over to where Ron and Hermione were sitting, grabbed seats and chatted quietly until class begun. Snape was his usual self, snapping at the Gryffindor's and praising the Slytherin's. This class they were working on sleeping potions. Snape walked up to their table, looked at Harry's potion and, with a sneer, said.
"Potter your pathetic at this!" "Worse even then your father and that's saying something." Harry just stared at Snape in shock. He had never heard Snape say anything so terrible! All of a sudden Sky leapt up, anger written all over her face as she shouted.
"How can you say that?" Harry looked at Sky in total amazement while Ron and Hermione looked on with a mixture of admiration and horror. Snape turned to towards Sky, opened his mouth… and stopped, seeming to remember whom he was talking to. Instead he snarled at her then stalked away to praise Draco. Harry leaned over to Sky and whispered,
"Thanks." He grinned when he saw her blush and then, shyly, he reached under the table and took her hand. He grinned in relief when he felt her squeeze his hand and continue holding on. As they stirred their potion Harry whispered again,
"Remember the Quidditch practice after classed today?" Sky looked up at Harry and nodded, eyes sparkling. The rest of the class passed uneventfully, except the occasional death glare from Snape. And so later Harry walked towards the Quidditch field when suddenly a voice spoke in his head, making him jump about ten feet in the air.
Hello Harry.
Harry looked down to see a cute looking Niffler peering up at him.
"Well, hello!" Harry replied, "What is your name?"
My name is Decade. And I suppose you know who I am and why I am here.
Harry nodded. He knew that this was his bonded animal.
That's right.
"Well," Harry begun, "I do need to tell Dumbledore but I'm late for Quidditch practice, so care to join me?"
Of course.
So they both made their way to the Quidditch field, where they found the rest of the team waiting impatiently
"Harry where were you?" complained Elizabeth, then she stopped when she noticed Decade standing by Harry's feet. Sky also noticed and grinned happily.
"So that's why you were late!" she exclaimed and Harry nodded. Madame Hobbins then interrupted and told the team to get started because Professor Rohm wanted a word with her. She and Professor Rohm walked over already in deep conversation.
"Okay," started Harry, "I'm sorry I was late, but lets get started now!" Everyone rose into the air while Decade watched from the ground. Harry flew around keeping one eye open for the snitch and one eye on Sky. Wes hit a bludger high above them then both he and Colin sped off to get the bludger that was attacking Ginny. No one noticed the bludger coming straight for Sky's head. Not until it was too late.
"WATCH OUT!" Harry bellowed, but it was of no use. The bludger slammed into Sky's head. Harry seemed to see it all in slow motion as Sky slipped from the broom and plummeted, unconscious, towards the ground. But as his senses came back to him he was after Sky in a flash. He dived after her, going as fast as he could, faster then he ever had, but not fast enough. He couldn't get there in time! She was almost to the ground! He had to catch her! She couldn't die, she couldn't! Suddenly Harry saw his hands start to glow a dark yellow color. He felt himself go faster, and faster, faster! He had reached Sky now and he grabbed her around the waist lifting her away just before she hit the ground. Harry landed the broom and lay Sky on the gently on the ground, the yellow glow fading away. Harry heard screams and shouts as the Gryffindor team landed around him and he yelled to Elizabeth.
"Get Madame Hobbins" Harry was cut off as, with a shriek, Trinity landed by Sky and leaned her head on Sky's bloody face shedding pearly tears on her injury.
The healing tears
Harry jerked when he heard Decade, he hadn't realized that Decade had been sitting beside him. Suddenly Trinity picked her head up and Sky's face was no longer bloody. The wound was completely healed, but she was still unconscious.
Trinity's tears healed but couldn't get her to regain consciousness.
Harry nodded and just then Madame Hobbins and Professor Rohm came running up and magicked Sky onto a stretcher. Harry insisted on coming and they all hurried to the hospital wing. A few hours later, in the hospital wing, Harry sat by Sky, head bowed. Harry's head snapped up as he heard Sky moan and saw her eyes flutter. Harry had been sitting beside her for along time waiting and praying that Sky would wake up. Sky's eyes slowly opened and looked around in confusion.
"What am I doing here? What happened?" she asked and Harry took a deep breath before replying.
"You don't remember? Strange... Well you were hit in the head by a bludger…" Harry began his tale and Sky lay still, shocked by what she was hearing. When he finished Harry was surprised to see anger in Sky's face. At first he thought it was directed toward himself but her next words knocked that thought out of his head.
"I'm so stupid! I should have been paying more attention… I suppose you don't want me to be on the team." Sky's voice shook as she said this but she looked up in surprise when Harry shook his head. He reached a hand out and slowly ran it down Sky's face.
"I'm just glad that your okay Sky. To me that's all that matters." Harry whispered and suddenly Sky's face broke out in a smile, her eyes sparkling with a strange intensity. Harry felt intranced by those eyes as he leaned towards Sky's lips. As their lips locked together the room filled with two colors of bright lights, blue and yellow. The blue and yellow wove together to make a brillant emerald green… the exact color of Harry's eyes…
