Chapter 11: Avalon?

Days went by the school year happily. Harry and Avalon have made a strong relationship of friendship and maybe more. Every night, professor Lupin has helped Avalon release her power. And every time, she gets an inch father. It was a warm night. Avalon was still up doing her homework that was due the next day. It was 1:00 in the morning when Avalon sneaked in the boys' dormitory. "Harry? Harry? Are you up? Harry?" Avalon whispered trying to find out what room was Harry's. "Wa s'matter?" harry asked groggily as he opened his curtains to see Avalon looking at him brightly. "Harry. how do you spell potion? Is it p-o-c-h-I-n or p-o-t-I-o-n?" Avalon asked peering down at her parchment. "What?" harry asked. "How do you spell potion?" Avalon asked again. "Can't this wait till the morning?" harry asked throwing a pillow over his head. "No!" Avalon replied.

"It's the second one! Now go to sleep!" harry shouted throwing n extra pillow at Avalon. It hit Avalon's head sending her down the steps with a thud. "OW!" she screeched getting up and throwing the pillow back up the stairs. Then there was a sudden thud from above as Avalon sat down in a chair innocently reading her book. Harry came down the stairs in his dark green pajamas looking wearily at Avalon. He just put on his glasses that were crooked on his head, and he peered at Avalon. "Harry! Morning." Avalon said standing up. She was in her nightdress that was pink shear with a silky pink dress thing under and pink shear over coat. It had moon and stars on it. "Avalon. did you hear something outside?" harry asked peering out a window. "No. but I did hear a thud, from where you were a minute ago." Avalon replied.

"No. I heard something." harry explained. Then he saw it. A little creature running into the castle. He gasped and went up the stairs again and grabbed his invisibility cloak and ran back to the main room. "What's that?" Avalon asked pointing to the invisibility cloak. "It's an invisibility cloak. I inherited it from my father. I'm going to see what came in." harry explained. "Let me go? Avalon asked. "It's too dangerous." Harry replied throwing the cloak over him. "We both can get under it." Avalon explained. After a minute, harry nodded. They both got under the cloak and walked out the portal. The fat lady screamed at them for waking her up, even though she couldn't see anyone. "Where are we going?" Avalon whispered. "I dunno." Harry replied unfolding an old piece of parchment. "What is that?" Avalon asked. "It's the Marauder's map. my father and his friends made it when they went here. it shows all the secrets passages and where everyone is." Harry explained. "Amazing." Avalon replied astonished.

Harry took his wand out and tapped the map. "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good." Words started to pop up " Messrs. Moony, wormtail, padfoot, and prongs purveyors of aids to magical mischief-makers are proud to present the marauder's map." Then it showed the whole map of Hogwarts. It showed harry and Avalon in front of the fat lady, and then it showed another dot moving. It was labeled sirius black. "Sirius!" harry whispered as the dot moved towards them. It was coming closer. Harry looked up, he could see black coming his way. Harry through off the cloak and ran and hugged him. "Harry!" black whispered looking at him. "What are you doing out here?" black asked suddenly. "I heard something, so me and Avalon decided to go check it out, then I saw it as you what are YOU doing here?" harry asked. "Avalon? Whose Avalon?" black asked looking around. Harry turned around. Avalon was no where to be seen. "Avalon? Avalon where are you?" harry asked looking around. Out of no where, there was a faint sound, Sorda a lullaby.

"Avalon? Where are you?" harry asked. Black began to look t harry like he's gone crazy. Harry then realized he had the map and looked at it. Avalon was no where by them. "See? She was here. I'm not hallucinating." Harry stated showing black the map. "Nice map harry." black said smiling. "We have to find her." Harry explained. "Seems you like her." black said as they began to run the way the music and Avalon were going. "We're just friends. that's all!" harry shouted. The music began to get louder, as they ran up steps and through tapestries. "Why are we wandering around for this Avalon character? She's probably just looking around like you did the first time you came here." black suggested.

"How would you know that?" harry asked stopping. "Your just like your father harry. it's likely you would." Black replied smiling. "Avalon wouldn't just walk off while I was talking to you. She isn't like that." Harry replied as they started to run again. Suddenly, the music stopped and they could hear a faint scream. "Avalon!" harry shouted as he ran faster than before. When they finally got to where Avalon was laying, they saw no one by her. Harry's side hurt terribly and black was panting. The cloak was next to her and she was bleeding on her arm. "I better go." black suggested. "Harry. be careful. The reason why I came is because I heard some people talking around voldermort getting stronger than he was." black stated before he left. "Avalon." harry thought holding her. He put the map and cloak in his pocket right as dumbledore, snape, and McGonagall came rushing to him.

"Potter! What happened!" snape asked looking at Avalon with blood to harry who was still panting. "We...er.I heard faint music, and then I got up to see what it was, and Avalon was gone. and then I heard a scream. And then I saw her lying on the ground. And professor dumbledore. I need to talk to you." harry explained. "First we need to get Miss Avalon to the hospital wing, and harry, please come with me." Dumbledore stated as Avalon rose up from harry. "Professor McGonagall, will you please take Avalon to the hospital wing?" dumbledore asked. McGonagall nodded. "Professor snape, please go to bed." Dumbledore asked kindly. Snape looking at harry then walked away.
