Chapter 14 Halloween madness
But that minute, professor McGonagall came walking in. she walked up to Harry happily holding a piece of parchment. "Potter." she stated looking at him through her square glasses. "What?" Harry asked. "I have great news. Oliver wood has applied to become the griffindor coach for Quidditch. Even though he won't be able to play, he wants to coach. It's all right with the others if it's alright with you he can. What do you say potter?" professor mcgonagall asked. Harry smiled and nodded. "Great. he'll be arriving to start practice tomorrow after lunch. Be on the field by then. Have a nice breakfast." Mcgonagall said as she walked off. "What's Quidditch?" Avalon asked suddenly. "It's like basketball. but on broomsticks." Harry replied. "Basketball. cool." Avalon replied eating a bread of toast.
"Isn't tomorrow Halloween? You do have Halloween here.. Don't you?" Avalon asked. They all nodded. "So you all trick or treat?" Avalon asked. "No. we have a great feast though." Harry replied. "What's trick or treating?" Ron asked interested. "You go around to houses and dress up in costumes and say trick or treat, and they give you candy or treats, or both." Avalon replied. "Hey! We need to do that!" Ron shouted. "Do what?" Fred asked as him, and George sat down next to them. "Hey! Where have ya'll been? I haven't seen you around lately." hermione noticed. "We have been working." George replied. "How come you didn't name your joke shop Weasleys' Wizard wheezes?" Harry asked.
"Well. we're going to make it that when we get a bigger place. you know. forges joke shop is temporary. We're making a great sign for the original. so when some people look at it, sparks start attacking them; but it doesn't hurt, it's water stuff. But we're not done." Fred explained. he smiled at Harry and winked. "Besides. we had to give more credit to the angel who helped us think of the name on Christmas once and for the money." he added. "Ever going to say who gave you the money?" Ron asked. "Only if he says it's ok." Fred said beaming at Avalon. she was trying to eat courage, with her head turned upside down. "So Harry. that reminds me. what did you do with all that money you won last year?" Ron suddenly asked. Fred's smile faded. "Charity." Harry replied. "What? Why?" Ron asked. "I didn't need it in the muggle world." Harry replied. "not to be rude, but you could of gave us some." Ron shouted. "I did." Harry replied. "No you didn't!" Ron explained. Fred and George started to snicker.
"What a minute. the angel is you isn't it!" Ron shouted pointing to Harry. Harry shrugged and started to take a sip of his pumpkin juice. "That's where you got all that money. It was Harry!" Ron shouted looking at Fred and George. They nodded and got up but sat back down. "Avalon. why don't you try eating the other way upside down." Fred suggested. Avalon looked at him and threw courage at him. They all laughed. "So what should we do?" George asked again. "What do you mean?" Harry asked. "You were all talking about SOMETHING!" George explained. "Oh. trick or treating." Harry replied. "What's that?" Fred asked. "It's where you dress up in costumes and go to house and house and say trick or treat, and they give you treats." Ron explained. "How would you know?" George asked. "Avalon told me." Ron replied. "oh. that makes sense. hermione, didn't you ever go trick or treating?" Ron asked. "Every year." Hermione replied. She was reading a book.
"Cool" Ron smiled. After breakfast, they went to there classes. It was care of magical creatures with hagrid. They walked down the slopes talking and saw hagrid outside with his boarhound, fang. "Hi ya'll." Hagrid chimed as they all reached his hut. "Hey hagrid. "hermione said. "Hi yer Avalon. find any thing new abou' der Dragons?" hagrid asked. Avalon nodded. "Some unicorns have wings. that can carry people." Avalon explained. "Very good." Hagrid replied. "Harry?" "They have white blood that can strengthen people for short times." "good Harry. Ron?" hagrid asked smiling. "Their horns can make surviving potions, but it's illegal to cut them off." Ron replied. "Hermione?" hagrid asked. "They have a white aura that can out lit any dark place." Hermione replied. "Great yer guys." Hagrid smiled again.
Soon, all of the other gryffindors and the slytherins showed up. "Terday, we are going to look at more unicorns. where goin to hatch em from eggs. Then, we are gonna nurture them. It will be our project fer dis term. Now, everyone one please choose and egg." Hagrid said. People were getting excited by learning about dragons, and hurried to get an egg. "now, these eggs have button dragons in em'. They won't shoot fire or hurt you badly when they claw you. They don't grow ter big and you can keep em' fer pets. People keep em fer pets for there blood, to take them places, to light things, and just because." Hagrid explained. there were big eggs that looked healthy that everyone tried to get, and little eggs that looked sick. Avalon got a little egg, and Harry, Ron, and hermione got medium eggs.
"now, everyone have an egg?" hagrid asked. They all nodded. "Now we have to keep em' warm. So I asked professor sprout if it would be alright if we used the extra green house, and he said it'll be alright. So everyone foller me." Hagrid said. They all walked with hagrid to the green house and put there eggs on little pillows.
After class, they all went to lunch. The day went bye good, and the next day arrived. Everyone were getting spooked by the ghosts scaring people from behind statues. Then that night, they all started to walk to the great all for the feast. When they got to the great hall, everyone was already sitting down talking. The great hall was decorated in its usual looking with bats flying everywhere. They all sat down and as they did, professor dumbledore stood up and began to speak. Everyone went silent.
"Happy Halloween everyone! Tonight, we are going to do something different. Tonight, we are going to have a scavenger hunt all over the school. You will all get a list and will look for the things on the list. Some you will have to make. There will be a time limit of 3 hours if you don't find the items within 3 hours, you lose. The people who do, they win. After you find all the items, you will place it on beams that have been placed all over the school. It will be weighed and if you got every item, you will receive a big bag of things such as candy or cards, etc. now. raise your hand if you want the feast first, or the hunt." Dumbledore explained. "The feast." Dumbledore shouted. Few people raised there hands. About 30. "hunt." Dumbledore shouted. Everyone else raised there hands and the majority won. "The hunt will began right after you all receive your list." Dumbledore shouted. Suddenly, the teachers rose up, pointed there wands, and paper do parchment fell onto everyone. Then they all walked out and began to look.
"What's the first thing?" Harry asked looking at his list. "Uh. pellets." Ron said. "What? Pellets?" Avalon asked. "The owlery! OWL pellets." Hermione explained. "Good one!" Harry replied. They all ran to the owlery and looked under the straw for the pellets. They all found one and checked the list again. "douse?" hermione asked looking at the sheet. "Douse." Avalon thought. "Maybe it is. no. mouse. dice. douse! A mouse that turned into a die!" Avalon thought. "Maybe." Ron suggested. They started to walk to professor McGonagall's room. People were running around everywhere. They walked in and found dice on her desk. They grabbed one each and walked out side to check the list again. They all began to find all of the objects and had one more to find. "star." It read. "What would STAR be?" Harry asked.
They all shrugged and began to walk around looking for clues. They suddenly heard a faint music that Harry recognized and turned around to see if Avalon was with them. She wasn't. she was walking slowly up the steps they came from. "Avalon!" Harry shouted as they all ran after her. Harry grabbed Avalon's arm trying to stop her but Avalon jerked away. He fell down, but Ron caught him. "What's wrong with her?" hermione asked. "It's the music!" Harry explained. "Come on!" they all ran up to her. they found her walking into a room they haven't been in before. The music suddenly stopped and Avalon screamed. They ran to the door and went inside. Avalon was hitting something that was cornered up in a corner. Avalon was on top of it punching it. "Avalon!" Harry gasped. Avalon looked up at him, her eyes were glowing red. She suddenly jumped up and attacked Harry, but her foot was grabbed by the person that she was beating up.
Avalon fell to the ground and kicked the person. "Someone get professor dumbledore!" Harry shouted. Ron ran out shouting for dumbledore. Then suddenly the person let go of Avalon and Avalon ran for Harry. Harry yelled and grabbed his wand. Avalon froze, as did Harry. The music played again, and Avalon started to take out her wand and raise it, but tried not too. The person got up and stood there. Harry couldn't see who the person was cause it was under a hood. "Avalon! what's wrong!" Harry asked. "Listen boy! She can't stay here in our world! That music. it will kill her! she must go back to her world where she belongs! Lord voldermort will use her to get to you. for the sake of her and you. Harry potter. she must die by you, or go back to the muggle world where she belongs!" the voice said. It was low, so Harry figured it was a guy. "Who are you!?" Harry asked.
"I can't say" the person replied. The music got louder, Avalon dove for Harry, Harry stood three freaked. The person darted for Avalon and stopped her. Harry yelled. Avalon struggled to get away from the guy, the music died and she fainted. the person stood up and looked at the door. Dumbledore was standing there concerned. People were behind him. Hermione was freaked. "What happened?" dumbledore asked. "Professor dumbledore. sir. we finally meet in person." The person said. "Ah. you. why are you here?" dumbledore asked.
"This girl, she is a muggle. The ministry has asked me to come here, why did you let her come to our world, she should not be here and you know that. Your putting Harry potter in danger." the person said. "Sir. I know what is going on. And I have reason why she is here. Go tell the ministry to come here themselves for a better explanation. Please do that now." Dumbledore suggested. The person bowed and then disappeared in a poof of smoke. "Harry, hermione, are you alright?" dumbledore asked peering down at hermione, who was on the floor horror struck, and Harry who was gleaming clueless at him. Hermione nodded doubtfully. "What's happening to Avalon. and who was that?" Harry asked.
"I can't say now Harry. But we have found what is wrong with Avalon. and if we don't get her power out now, she won't be able to stay in the wizard world much longer." Dumbledore explained. now. all of you, go find the rest of your items. You have only 30 more minutes." Dumbledore explained looking at all the people behind him. "This is madness." Ron muttered. Avalon suddenly woke up looking at them. "miss Avalon, are you ok?" dumbledore asked heartily. Avalon nodded. "I'm sorry professor. I'm trying to work at it." Avalon explained. "I know you are Avalon. now why don't you go to madam promfrey and ask her for some licorice. That'll help you in what's wrong." Dumbledore suggested. Avalon nodded and looked at Harry and walked out. "What do you mean professor dumbledore?" Harry asked. "Don't worry about it. Find everything?" dumbledore asked. Harry looked at his list. "All but star" he replied.
"Ah. star. No one yet has been able to find that one." Dumbledore smiled. "So when do you have professor twelaney?" dumbledore asked. "Uh. tomorrow." Ron replied. "I see." Dumbledore replied. "Well. have fun looking." Dumbledore explained. he walked off, and hermione gasped. "what?" Harry asked. "No wonder why I didn't know. I don't have her. astronomy, STAR!" hermione explained. they all smiled and ran up to the north tower. They went up the steps into professor twelaney's room and found golden stars on her desk. Then they suddenly felt a warm sensation and closed there eyes, when they opened them, they were next to the beams. They put there bags of items on the beam and it disappeared. It reappeared with another bag. They opened it and found candy. They then walked back to the great hall and sat down. They noticed that everyone had the same bag and Harry began to think dumbledore helped everyone find the last item.
"I'm am glad to see you all have found everything. Now, you can all eat. Then you will be off to bed." Dumbledore stated. They all began to eat as Avalon walked in and sat down next to them. "Avalon. hey." Harry said peering at her. "Hi." Avalon replied as she began to eat. "What happened?" Ron asked. Avalon dropped her roll and started to look at her plate.
"Well. the music that I hear, you all hear, it starts controlling me. and makes em kill you Harry, and it happened when it cut me. Professor dumbledore has helped me control it. And he thinks I should stay here. Cause he found something out. when my parents died, I was the one who stopped the man from killing me. It was Malfoy's dad. But he put a memory charm on everyone but me, cause he thought I wouldn't remember. All the papers were burned about him, except for mine. Cause I didn't get the charm. he tried killing me for a reason. And I think it's because I hold something in me that can destroy that one person, you-know-who person, and they were all afraid. But to destroy him completely, I need Harry's help. So they tried killing Harry, but when they failed, they tried to kill me." Avalon paused, but began to speak again.
"So if one survived but the other didn't, we would never be able to kill him. They never thought me and Harry would find each other and become friends. And hey NEVER thought I would be allowed at hogwarts. So they tried killing me, but professor dumbledore put a protection spell on me when I arrived, and the thing that slashed me would of poisoned me to death, but then it didn't work, so they tried to make me kill you Harry, but then that one man stopped me." Avalon finally finished.
"Well. I'm tired. Night." Avalon said as she walked off.
But that minute, professor McGonagall came walking in. she walked up to Harry happily holding a piece of parchment. "Potter." she stated looking at him through her square glasses. "What?" Harry asked. "I have great news. Oliver wood has applied to become the griffindor coach for Quidditch. Even though he won't be able to play, he wants to coach. It's all right with the others if it's alright with you he can. What do you say potter?" professor mcgonagall asked. Harry smiled and nodded. "Great. he'll be arriving to start practice tomorrow after lunch. Be on the field by then. Have a nice breakfast." Mcgonagall said as she walked off. "What's Quidditch?" Avalon asked suddenly. "It's like basketball. but on broomsticks." Harry replied. "Basketball. cool." Avalon replied eating a bread of toast.
"Isn't tomorrow Halloween? You do have Halloween here.. Don't you?" Avalon asked. They all nodded. "So you all trick or treat?" Avalon asked. "No. we have a great feast though." Harry replied. "What's trick or treating?" Ron asked interested. "You go around to houses and dress up in costumes and say trick or treat, and they give you candy or treats, or both." Avalon replied. "Hey!
