Chapter 11 – The Party Fiasco
Harry headed back down to the Quidditch pitch to meet up with the rest of the Gyrffindor team.
"Harry! You're here finally!" George yelled at Harry's approaching form.
"Sorry guys I was discussing something with Dumbledore." Harry responded.
"Aww………are you in trouble again Harry?" Fred questioned.
"What'd you do this time?" George added.
"Nothing I chased Olivia up there after she fell 30 feet off her broom."
At Harry's words the entire team gasped in shock and fright.
"Did she………is she……...?" Alicia started
"Amazingly she's fine. Not a thing is wrong with her. In fact after she fell she jumped up and ran to Dumbledore's office."
Everyone just sort of stood around in a daze after hearing what Harry had said. No was brought out of their daze until they heard the noise of their fellow Gryffindor's heading down to the pitch to try out for a spot on the team.
"Alright guys we really need to pick a captain before we hold these tryouts." Harry stated bringing the others out of their daze.
"Harry we've all decided that you're that captain and that's out final decision. No more of this arguing." Katie replied.
Harry surveyed the rest of the team and realized that they weren't going to change their minds. "Alright no more arguing." Harry sighed.
"Yea! Now lets get ourselves a good team!" Angelina exclaimed.

Harry and the rest of the Gryffindor Quidditch team went through all the applicants and filled the Keeper spot that was left open by Oliver Wood's graduation. They also filled all the other spots on the reserve team except three, the beater positions and the seeker. Fred and George had thoroughly tested the five applicants but found that none of them were quite up to par. Harry however only had to test two but neither one was very good at spotting the snitch. The rest of the team decided that these three spots could be filled throughout the year when they found people worthy of playing that position.
"Alright everyone you all did your best and now it's time to announce those who have made our reserve team which will be the main team next year and the new keeper." Harry announced.
"Keeper will be Ron Weasley, the reserve keeper will be Seamus Finnigan. The reserve chasers will be Amy Bell, Hermione Granger, and Ginny Weasley. Unfortunately for right now we do not have reserve Beaters or a reserve seeker but we will keep our eyes open. Thanks for trying out and good luck. Would the new team members please met with the rest of the team in the locker rooms."
At this Harry led the rest of the team into the locker room to go over practices and such. When they were done they all headed back to the Common room to celebrate. As Harry walked back he thought of Olivia and all that had happened this morning and was slightly saddened that she hadn't tried out for the team. After watching her fly Harry could tell that she would be good for the team. He shrugged off these thoughts as he entered the common room and saw a party in full swing.
* * *
Olivia was in her dorm looking over what she had written for at least the 20th time when she heard a great commotion of noise coming from the common room. "What the hell is going on?" Olivia thought. A quick reading of minds told her that a party was getting under way. "Great just what I need to distract me a party."
Olivia was about to get up and turn on her stereo when she decided to try another one of her talents. Olivia pointed her right index finger to the power button and the stereo turned on, then she thought of the CD she wanted to listen to. The CD then went flying to the CD player and began to play. Olivia cranked the volume up since the first song was low and because her room was soundproof so that she wouldn't disturb anyone.
Anyone who would've witnessed this line of events would have been very surprised. Olivia had done everything without a wand!
As the Moulin Rouge soundtrack played Olivia turned back to her notes pondering once again the events that had been occurring lately. She was trying to decide whether she was really adding everything up right because to her the end result just didn't fit.
* * *
Harry and Ron were thoroughly enjoying the party that was going on until they realized that Olivia was no where to be seen. They'd figured that since the party was so loud that she was bound to hear it and would come and join it. Harry decided to go up and drag her down and Ron followed along to help. When they got to her door they pounded on the door figuring that Olivia would open it up to stop the pounding at the very least.
After a few minutes of pounding though they still hadn't heard anything from Olivia. They began to worry since she had fallen earlier that something might be wrong with her. Ron grabbed the doorknob and shoved the door open and both him and Harry ran through.
"Olivia!" Harry yelled but to his and Ron's surprise no sound came out.
Both boys looked to where Olivia was sitting with her back to the door trying to communicate with her. Ron then tried to call Olivia as he moved towards her. Once again no sound came out and Ron could go no further once he passed Harry. Harry then tried to move forward but it was no use it was like there was a solid wall blocking them. It was then that Ron remembered reading about rooms like this and how to fix it.
Harry turned to communicate with Ron but saw him heading back to the door. Harry was about to follow him when he saw Ron close the door. Once the door clicked into place the room filled with the blaring sound coming from Olivia's stereo.
"Olivia!" Harry yelled to be heard above the music.
Upon hearing her name Olivia turned down her music and turned to see Ron and Harry standing in her dorm.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"We came to see if you were alright." Ron responded
"Why wouldn't I be alright?"
"Your fall this morning maybe." Harry sarcastically responded
"Oh………yea, No I'm fine"
"Why didn't you come down to the party?" Ron questioned
"I'm trying to figure out a puzzle………How'd you know to shut the door?"
"I'd read about rooms like this before but it took me a while to remember." Ron replied.
"Well it's a good thing you remembered because otherwise you two would have been stuck there until I'd have noticed you."
"We could have just walked back out couldn't we?" Harry observed.
"Nope I put a charm so that anyone who came in wouldn't be able to leave until I had acknowledged that they were there."
"Oh………Well we came to get you to join the party so come on lets go before someone else try's to get in here." Harry said as he grabbed Olivia's hand to help her up.
* * *
As her hand connected with Harry's Olivia's eyes snapped shut and everything went black for a second. Gradually the black faded to a low light with a collage of images floating by with the words will happen floating above them. Finally the images stopped and the words were replaced by Must Stop. Olivia was confused as to what she was to do but she was soon enlightened. A spell quickly flashed before it quickly disappeared into her hair. The final image Olivia saw was a picture of Harry with the word Protect At All Costs across it.

As Olivia was about to hit the floor Harry caught her gently laying her down. He was about to tell Ron to get Madam Pomfrey when Olivia opened her eyes again.
"Olivia! Olivia are you alright?" Harry asked with worry evident in his voice.
"I'm fine Harry no need to scream." Olivia calmly responded
" Well………it's just that you blacked out again and I was………I was afraid that something was wrong with you."
"I know I blacked out………It was another one of my visions only this one was different from the one I had earlier."
"Do you want me to get Dumbledore?" Ron asked finally joining the conversation
"No thank you Ron I think I need to figure this one out by myself but I will inform Dumbledore when I do."
"Ok"
"You guys go on down to the party I need to think about what I just saw." Olivia said looking at both Harry and Ron. She saw the worry still shadowing in Harry and Ron's eyes and felt bad for the cause of it. "Don't worry guys I promise you that I'm fine. I'll be sure to either come down to the common room before I go to bed or you guys can stop by before you go to bed. Ok?"
"Sure." Harry and Ron replied.
* * *
As soon as Harry and Ron had left her dorm Olivia began to ponder the vision. Her first vision had been a scene from the present she presumed. The second one hadn't been a vision exactly but a source of information. As soon as she thought of the vision and what it said she found that she had the information she needed to perform the spell she had seen and what exactly it did. The only information that she didn't have was why she had to protect Harry at all costs.
Olivia reviewed the information in her head until she was sure of what to do and began to perform the spell. When she was done with the spell she turned back to her prophecy work and suddenly everything clicked and she knew the reason behind everything she had been questioning that past few days.
