Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to do with Harry Potter. The
characters are mine, however some of the character's names I found in the
fourth book of Harry Potter. I own their personalities but not their names.
A/N: I really must thank everyone again for waiting for this chapter as
well. I haven't posted because of school. I have had so much homework this
year so far and it hasn't even been one month! I THANK YOU again and again!
I hope this is a good chapter that you all like!
Chapter Eleven: The Search Party
Lena watched as the young man went up the staircases. They decided to follow him seeing that it was more exciting than sitting around the common room doing homework. When the reached the floor with Dumbledore's office on it, Harry turned around and saw the two following him.
"Can I help you?" He was very polite and Lena found him to be quite cute.
"Uh.no th-"
"Yes, actually." Lena cut off Owen. She thought that Harry might be able to help, seeing that he's been on seven amazing adventures and knows this school like the back of his hand. "Are you.Harry Potter?" Harry nodded and asked about the American accent, like everyone does, and then Lena continued. "Can I ask why you are here?"
"Well, I want to see Dumbledore. I want to be the headmaster of this school someday.so many memories." He looked around the hallway they were standing in and sighed.
"So, you will be staying for a while then?"
"Yes. Come to think of it, where is my trunk? Accio Trunk!" Harry had his wand pointed out the door and there was a loud clunking noise. Then there was shattering glass and a loud thud as the trunk tossed itself onto the floor. The phoenix statue that led to Dumbledore's office was swirling back down with the headmaster himself riding on the stairs.
"Ah Harry, I knew it was you." The old man walked over to Harry and gave him a large hug. "All of that racket.knew it was you." They talked for a few moments and then Dumbledore told Harry to go back to his office.
"Hold on one moment Professor." Harry turned to look at Owen and Lena. Lena told him to meet them at the Gryffindor common room later that night. Harry was going to stay in his old room with some of the seventh years who were sixth years when he was at the school one year before. Harry agreed to meet them even though he had no idea why. Then he walked away to Dumbledore's office and went up the spiral, phoenix stairs to meet Dumbledore.
When Lena and Owen went back down the stairs for lunch Owen decided to find out what was going on in Lena's head.
"What was that?" he asked and stopped walking. Lena turned to him.
"If he's the great friend and adventurer that you told me about then he will help us find Isabella. So, we will tell him everything tonight and follow his direction. I'm sure that he will have some sort of idea once he is filled in-"
"Lena, this is crazy! He will think we are insane! Besides, he is 'best buddies' with Dumbledore who doesn't want you to tell anybody about it, remember?" Owen took a deep breath. He was not getting through to Lena it seemed and perhaps no one ever would.
"You said it yourself that you would help me! So why don't you just stick to your word, OK?" Lena and Owen just stared at each other. Owen finally gave into going through with the plan. He "had nothing to loose". They both scurried off to the Great Hall to see their friends.
"Hey, Lena and Owen! Did you hear? Harry Potter has come back to Hogwarts!" April was very excited. She knew all of the stories and adventures. Lena and Owen looked at each other and smiled, then sat down with their friends. They had a long conversation about Harry and all of his adventures. Trevor and April and their other fourth year friends all remember when Hogwarts hosted the Triwizard Tournament and when Harry and Dumbledore proved the Ministry of Magic wrong when they said that Voldemort really had returned. They also knew, like everyone else, about the epic battle between Harry and Voldemort. (Trevor was not afraid to say Voldemort but the rest of the group was.except for Lena)
That night in the common room, Owen and Lena stayed up late and waited for Harry to come back through the portrait hole. He came in only a minute or so after everyone else went to bed. He looked to the long red couch that he sat on for many years and saw the two kids he was talking to earlier that day. They exchanged smiles and Harry sat with them on the long couch with either kid on either side.
"So, before you tell me what this is all about, I would like to know what your names are. You never had a chance to tell me earlier," He asked looking from one side to the other as he looked into the faces of the students. They introduced themselves to him and Lena began to tell Harry the whole story from the day they got to the school to that very day. Harry seemed very interested in the whole story.
"But are you sure that she didn't.leave on her own?" Harry looked uneasy as he looked into Lena's dark brown eyes through her glasses. She was fearless for her friends just as he was. He could see this in her eyes. She wasn't usually one to go on adventures but this was to save someone.
"Why are you telling me this?" Harry was confused.
"We need your help, of course! You've been on so many famous adventures to save your friends!" Lena looked to Harry who looked uneasy about the whole idea. "Well, you don't have to join us but could you at least give up a tip or something? Do you know anywhere where she could be?"
"She could be anywhere, really." Harry looked all around him as if trying to look through the walls. "There's the Room of Requirement, and plenty of hidden passageways under the school. I don't think I want to be a part of this. I'm sure Dumbledore will have someone looking for her and-"
"He sent Filch and that fluffy cat of his! They came back like, within an hour without one single clue! It's up to us to find her, as I've been saying all along." Lena looked to Owen who shrugged. He didn't know what to say.
"Well, I'm going to head off to bed you two. I'm sorry, but my life was not adventurous because I wanted it to be. I've seen things I never wanted to because of some prophecy. I didn't do those things because I wanted to have fun, I'm not that type of person. I did it to help my friends and stop the madness. But now I have stopped it and I don't want to relive my bad memories. I came to make new good memories." Harry stood up and walked up to the boy's dormitories. Owen followed him without saying good night to Lena. Lena felt horrible. She had no idea that everything would happen this way. She felt that all of the hope she had to find Isabella was suddenly sucked out of her like water going down the drainpipe. Why won't anyone help me? She shoved her face down into the couch seat cushion and screamed. Then she began to cry. She was alone again and not even the most famous wizard known for his adventures and heroism would help her. She ran to her room and sat in the window. She looked out onto the school grounds and out to the Whomping Willow. It was moving around wildly smashing the ground. She had never seen it do anything like that before. She squinted her eyes to try and see if there was more that she wasn't seeing. There was a light spot among the darkness of the sky. Lena couldn't tell what it was but it disappeared when it passed the Whomping Willow. Lena didn't see it again. Perhaps it was a large firefly.a very large firefly. If Gryffins can exist, why couldn't that have been an abnormally large firefly? Lena didn't think much of that light when she slunk off to bed. She was going to get up early in the morning the next day and do her homework as quickly as possible. Then, she was going to start her hunt as a one-person search party for Isabella. This was her plan and she was going to stick to it. Lena went to bed feeling determined and brave. She was ready for the adventure.
