you like this chapter. I worked hard on this. Really.
Chapter 8 Power of Gryffindor
It was 7:55 as Harry opened the door to the spiral staircase that was the Astronomy Tower. Harry had no clue how far up Lav would be meeting him at so he was forced to run. Harry was about halfway up when he heard a scream. Lavender's scream. Harry doubled his pace and was jumping up steps four and five at a time. He made the top in about 45 seconds. Record time. Harry saw a pair of death eaters holding Lavender and attempting to drag a screaming and kicking Lavender to the edge.
Harry yelled at them "Let her go!" only it wasn't his voice coming from his mouth.
"That is exactly what we plan to do." The first said, who Harry reckognized as Mai-Lynne from his dream
Suddenly Lav, and the two Death Eater's eyes grew wide. One was stuttering. Harry had no control over anything he did. It was as though he wasn't in control. When he spoke again it wasn't his voice again, but a deep, old sounding voice with an accent he hadn't heard before.
"Leave the girl be!" The deep voice said to them.
By now Harry had no perspection of what his body was doing. He couldn't see out of his own eyes or hear from his ears, or even think what his thoughts were. It was as though he was possessed. So now we switch to Lav's POV
----------------Lavender's point of view--------------------------------
Harry's hair had just changed color. It had turned red. Like Weasley red. His eyes were radiating energy. They were a light blue to white color. The pupils were long gone. Just whiteness. Harry's voice had changed too. It was deep and scary almost. His robes even changed and now looked like Gryffindor Quidditch robes except no padding. Harry was not like Harry.
"One wrong move and the girl dies Potter." Mai-lynne threatened. "You cannot defeat us. Not without your wand. Bwahahahaha!"
Harry pointed his finger at them and said a spell Lav or even Hermione had heard before. She could not make out the words though. Harry shot out a wave of force with his hand. Mai-lynne and the other death eater had been thrown against the wall.
"Run you stupid girl. Run." The Harry person yelled. I obeyed, and watched from behind a suit of armor. Mai-lynne yelled something and suddenly four more Death eaters came from the General area of the roof.
Two tried to run past Harry to get to me but ran into an invisible shield of some sort and were blown back.
All the death eaters pointed their wands at Harry and yelled "Massivia Avada Kedavra" All of them shot out a killing curse except the spell didn't stop. It kept going like an energy beam of some sort. When the Gigantic Ak reached Harry it deflected off that unseen barrier and dissipated.
"Hah. Petty spell. I am immortal. Do you not realize this. Your fight is pointless. Give up now." Harry yelled.
"Never!" Mai-Lynne sent back
"Goodbye then." Harry said quietly and muttered another spell. A lightning bolt struck a death eater and he promptly turned into a small pile of soot. Another spell he said shot out a flaming wall of force that made a large cloud of smoke where the death eaters were. Then said a small "My work here is done." And Harry passed out.
------------------Back to Harry POV-----------------------------------
Harry awoke in the Hospital wing . Lavender was asleep with her head resting on his stomach. Hermione and Ron were sleeping in their respective chairs across the room. It was late at night that was for sure. Harry decided to munch on the Chocolate frogs from his last visit. Harry attempted to remember why he was here but alas could not. Harry flipped through some of his letters people had written him looking for letters that weren't fanmail.
Letters from Ginny, Cho, Padma, Pavarti, Katie Bell, One of Ginny's Dorm mates, Mary-Anne, Another of Ginny's Dorm mates Joanna.. Yes there was definitely a chain. Just for the heck of it he opened the letters in order.
Harry
Hope Ron didn't hit you too hard. I have a feeling he doesn't mean it. You probably just pissed him off a lot. I've heard you already got a date for the dance but if she finks out on you we could go if you like. Just as friends if you like. Either way hope you get well soon.
Love Ginny.
Hmm. After that one I'm not really sure I want to open any more. Oh well here goes. Harry thought to himself.
Harry
I know we aren't exactly friends or anything but I need to hear about Cedric. I really want to know. Please meet me on the day before the end of term. I need to know. Say 4:00 in that one room that used to hold that magic mirror. Please tell me. Thank you
Cho
Well that was interesting. Harry made a mental note to respond once he got out. Letter 3 here we come.
Dear Harry
I don't know if you have a date to the dance but I really would like to go with you. I hope you will. We would have an excellent time together. I was so jealous when my sis got to dance with you last year. Get well soon
Padma
Pavarti's letter came next.
Dear Harry
I had such a great time with you last year. Maybe we could go together. Not that we would dance much. Iwas thinking of spending the night in the back garden. It would be much better with you there.
Pavarti
Now that was interesting, his inner evil thought to him
Special. Why don't you admire it in another country. Harry thought back
Now that wasn't very nice. Try again or I'll flunk your owls.
How about this **** off Harry thought to him.
I think not. How about I start blabbing secrets. Like maybe.
What his inner deamon was threatining to do Harry never found out because he started reading the letter from Katie Bell.
Harry
Fred dropped out on me this year and is going with Angelina. Wanna go with me this year because last year you waited until the last minute to get dates. I figured I'd save you the trouble. Don't worry I won't be offended if you turn me down It's just an offer. Get well soon.
Katie
Ooooooooh. Older women. We just might get lucky.
Shut it.
No. Hey maybe she has boobs unlike the flat-chested wonder you have us dating. the inner evil said
Lalala Harry read the letters from Ginny's dorm mates and there was pretty much nothing in them that the other letters hadn't said already. By the time he got the evil voice sobdued enough to fall asleep the sun was rising.
Harry awoke at the sound of a breakfast tray setting down next to him.
"He's awake." Hermione squealed
"Morning Harry. Sleep well?" Ron asked.
"Yeah we've been really worried. It's been almost two days since you went out." Lavender added
Harry noticed Ron was sitting next to Hermione with his Arm around her shoulder and she didn't seem to mind. Harry also noticed that when Lav spoke Ron humphed and refused to look at her. He was also mumbling things under his breath.
"Yeah well. One thing. Does anybody have a clue what knocked me out enough to send me to the hospital wing?" Harry asked. All of them shook their heads no.
"Oh and why aren't you in classes?" Harry asked again
"It's a Saturday. No classes." Lav said which earned another grunt from Ron.
After about 30 minutes of idle chat Lav said she had to go meet Parvarti for a study session. Then after a little while more Madame Pomefrey released him. They split up then. Harry went to work on his Transfiguration essay while Ron and Hermione went off to god knows where to snog.
After the completion of a good piece of overdue homework went off to lunch. Nothing really happened there either except the fact that Lav was nowhere to be seen. Harry brushed it off and walked off to the owlery to send off his replies, Except on the way he saw through the window of an empty classroom. There was Lav, snogging Seamus.
End
Dun Dun Dun! Is it really Lav cheating on Harry? If so are they through? How will Harry react? And why is Ron so distant with Lav?
That's for me to know and you to find out Hahahahaha!
Thanks Sour Skittles for being a good beta. Couldn't have done it Without you.
