The Warning
I don't own anything Harry Potter. It's all J.K. Rowling's.
"I am very glad to see you alive," Dumbledore said calmly.
"Professor Dumbledore, I have to speak with you, NOW," James said urgently.
Dumbledore held up his hand and said, "Relax, now, tell me what happened to Mr. Malfoy please."
James was growing restless. "I broke his arm because he was trying to curse Ron. Listen Professor, we don't have time for this. There's an army of dementors coming," James said.
Professor Snape healed Malfoy's broken arm as James spoke to Dumbledore.
"That's ridiculous. If there were an army of dementors coming, we would know about it," Snape said under his breath.
James heard Snape and grew angry and said, "I've seen the army with my own two eyes. The dementors are but a good two days hard march from here! We cannot wait. The other person that came with me is asking the Ministry of Magic for aid."
Dumbledore let out a breath and said, "I doubt if the Ministry will be of any assistance. I will discuss these turn of events with the staff and I will contact some old friends."
Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood silent for the whole conversation. They were still trying to take all of this in. Dumbledore turned to Snape and said, "Severus, will you join me in contacting some old friends?"
Snape then started walking urgently out of the shop and said, "Yes Headmaster." Malfoy then ran out to find Crab and Goyle. This left Harry, Ron, Hermione, and James alone in the isle. The four of them sneaked into a corner of the store and James told them about what happened to him.
James went back to Hogwarts with the trio and found himself mobbed by everyone in the school. James tried to avoid it but everyone seemed to follow him wherever he went. James wanted to speak with Hermione alone desperately. When night fell, James grabbed Harry's invisibility cloak and got Hermione out of bed. Hermione got dressed and under the cloak they went outside and sat by the lake. The sky had cleared up for a little bit and the moon was shinning brightly and the lake twinkled with the reflected light from the moon.
"What did you come to talk to me about?" Hermione asked.
Then James then realized that he didn't know what he wanted to talk to her about. James was desperately struggling to find words to say, but Hermione said,
"I've missed you. I thought you were dead. The one thing that I remembered of you that has been in my mind since you fell was looking into your eyes and seeing that you knew that you were going to die."
Hermione's eyes filled with tears. James took her in his arms and said, "It's ok, I'm here now."
Hermione looked at James and asked, "But you won't be here much longer, will you?"
James then thought about his new people that he left behind and said, "No, I'll stay. They've banished me for coming here. I can't go back. But I have to stop the dementors."
Hermione's eyes filled with tears again as she said, "What if you get killed?"
James pulled out his wand and put it in Hermione's hand and said, "I WILL come back for this."
Hermione threw her arms around James's neck and kissed him.
The next day James was called into a meeting with Dumbledore, the school staff, and several other people. James recognized Lupin, sitting there in his shabby robes. Dumbledore stood up and said,
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to decide on what course of action to take concerning the army of dementors that James O'Connell has brought to our attention.
James stood up and said, "There is no other alternative, we have to fight."
Lupin stood up and said, "And how do we stop them? We can't defeat an army of ten thousand dementors."
"And what of the students?" Professor Mc'Gonagall asked.
The student's safety did not occur to him. If they failed to stop the dementors then Hogwarts was doomed.
"We can send them home. Or somewhere away from here," James said.
Dumbledore stood up and said, "The students shall stay. No dementor shall set foot on the Hogwarts Grounds while we are here defending it."
James then looked out the tall window of Dumbledore's office and saw Theosar riding to Hogwarts with about 250 Aurors flying behind him on broomsticks. James ran out of Dumbledore's office and to the Hogwarts Entrance.
Theosar looked at James and said, "The Ministry didn't believe me. But they sent 250 of these.um.Aurors to help us incase what I told them was true."
James let out a breath and said, "They will have to do then. Lord help us in this desperate hour."
