Chapter 13
"Okay so you are going to play my sister, and say that you got upset with me and accidentally hit me with a hex that took my voice away. You know, a hex that is not so bad that they will look into the matter, and not to small a hex that the lady at the front desk could take care of it," said Harry.
"Gotcha, but I think it would be more believable if we said that you got bitten by Crumple-Horned Snorkack. Don't you?" Asked Luna in a dreamy voice.
"Ah, no, I think we will just stick with our original plan," said Harry hoping that Luna would stick with the earlier version as to why they were here. That's all they needed was to be thrown in to the loony ward with Gilderoy Lockhart because of one of Luna's unbelievable stories, thought Harry.
As Harry and Luna stood outside of St. Mungos Hospital, which had the appearance of a large, old fashioned, red brick department store. Harry did the same thing he remembered Tonks doing when they all came here last year to see Mr. Weasley after the attack. "Ah, we are here for a magical accident," said Harry to the funny looking manikin in the window. The dummy just as last year beckoned them forward after a few seconds and he and Luna walked through the glass window to the other side where they found a mildly busy St. Mungos.
"Okay, so I get to take over from here now, so no talking," said Luna.
With a slight nod of agreement from Harry they both walked up to the floor guide. "Okay brother, I guess since I hexed you then we should head to the fourth floor for Spell Damage. As they both moved towards the elevator, Harry's eyes landed on same portrait that hung on the first floor wall of St. Mungos that he remembered from last year. He could remember her giving them all a calculating stare before her facial expressions softened and she had winked at him. The witches name was Dilys Derwent (St. Mungos Healer 1722-1741, Headmistress of Hogwarts School of WitchCraft and Wizardry, 1741-1768) was listed below her portrait. Sure enough she was there again eyeing them with another peculiar stare before she winked at him again, and then walked out of her portrait. I wonder if there is a portrait of her in Hogwarts since she was a Headmistress thought Harry, as he and Luna got on the elevator. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````````````````
"Severus have you learned any more valuable information that we could use from your last meeting?" Asked Dubeldore.
"No, he is not telling us much. All I can gather is that he is planning something that I don't think we are going to be ready for. He will not even tell his most loyal death eaters what he has planned, and I still have not got a clue as to what that potion I helped make could be used for," said Severus.
"Don't worry Severus, you are doing a good job. The main thing is that you have not been discovered. Remember when your cover is even remotely close to being blown, we are pulling you out. You are to valuable an asset to us to lose you like that. Just continue to do as you are, and nothing more Severus," said Dumbeldore with a calm but demanding voice. That is all I ask.
"Very well Headmaster," said Severus.
"Albus, have we received word on the whereabouts of the Dementors?" asked McGonagall.
"I am afraid not Minerva. Arthur is doing all he can inside the Ministry to find there whereabouts, but as of right now there has been no news on them. The last time they have been seen is when two were sent to attack Harry at his home. Let us hope he will not meet them alone again," said Dumbeldore.
"Let us hope that indeed. However, that boy's magic is improving with each day. I am sure you all saw how he handled himself during his duel with the Malfoy kid. He will make a fine Aurora some day if he makes it out of this alive," Growled Moody.
"Of course he will make it out of this alive. He will not be seeing much fighting in this war Moody. Albus here will make sure of that, and will not let him see more fighting then what he needs to, will you Albus?" Said Molly.
"Molly, you must understand that Harry is no longer a small child. He has witnessed I dare say more then most of us in this room can imagine, and has handled it remarkable well. All I know is that when the time comes Molly, Harry will take his place, and fight against Voldemort. I will not let him go into his battle alone, but I am afraid if what I feel is correct, Harry will duel Voldemort alone, and there is no other way about it," said Dumbeldore in his calm tone.
"That is preposterous Albus. How is Harry supposed to defeat You-Know- Who for heaven sakes? I know you all are tired of hearing me say this, but it is true. I do not care what you say, he along with Ron and Hermoine do not belong in this battle. They are to young for this, and you know it," said Molly.
"Molly, I will not argue with you that Harry should not have to face Voldemort. No one should ever have to face that man, but what I do no is that Harry has faced him four times alone now, and has come away from each encounter alive after a few days with Poppy. You along with the rest in this room do not know the extent of what his encounters with Voldemort have brought upon him, and not one of you knows what really took place that night during the Triwizard Tournament. The only other person Harry told about what happened that night is Sirius, and I think it is time that I tell you this now so you may understand what he has truly gone through," said Dumbeldore while his eyes began to look somber.
"You all know that Harry and Cedric where transported to a secrete location where Harry met Voldemort and Cedric was murdered. What you do not know is that Harry witnessed Cedric die while he was standing beside him. You all do not know this because Harry has kept this bit of information to himself. He figured since you all knew that Cedric died what difference did it make that you knew he died while they stood side by side. After He witnessed his friend die, he was restrained and tied to a headstone where he witnessed Peter Petigrew brew a potion that brought Voldemort back to a physical body. But the potion required the blood of an enemy, so Peter cut into Harry's arm with a dagger, and let a cup of Harry's blood flow freely from his arm into a container where Peter later administered it to the potion only after chopping off his own hand; finishing it, and successfully bringing Voldemort back to a physical state. Afterwards Harry was released from his restraints and giving his wand, where he was forced into a duel with Voldemort while he was surrounded in a circle of death eaters. I am sure Harry was terrified beyond belief with what he was being forced to do, but I also know that he did face Voldemort head on, and took his fate with honor. Voldemort then played with Harry, torturing him with the Cruciatus Curse twice, and just taking it off when Harry was about to lose continuousness. Harry however, surprised everyone there when he mustered up the strength to cast a disarming spell towards Voldemort as he cast the killing curse. Many of you may not know this, but Harry and Voldemort's wands have the same cores residing in their wands. The phoenix tail feathers that reside in their wands are none other than Fawks here who only allowed two feathers to be to be plucked from his tail. When to wands that have the same cores duel against one another, some strange things can occur, and that is exactly what happened that night. For when Harry and Voldemort's curses met, a different spell was created, connecting both Harry's wand and Voldemort's wand together. The spell that was created is known as (Priori Incantatem), therefore, causing Voldemort's wand to emit part of the spirits that he had taken during his rain of terror. Harry saw the spirits of his parents that night along with many others, and he has endured all of that and what has happened before and after with great honor and bravery. Molly, and the rest of you here, I know that we have all taken a special liking to Mr. Potter, and we all wish to look out for him, but let us treat him with the respect he deserves. Remember this when you wish to tell him he is to young to be sticking his noes where you think it does not belong, for I say that it is his noes that belongs there more than anyone's does. It just took me a while to realize it, and now there is a chance that I may not be able to fix what my injustice to him has caused," said Dumbeldore to a now speechless, and many of them were in tears order that sat before him.
"Excuse me, I am quite sorry to barge in on you Phineas, but I need to speak with Dumbeldore," said Dilys Derwent.
"Of course Dilys, what brings you here today?" asked Dumbeldore as his eyes regained their normal sparkle.
"Well, I am not positively sure if they are two of your students, but a teenage girl between the ages 14-16 arrived with a young man about thirty minutes ago as St. Mungos. They were not wearing Hogwarts robes, but they looked too young to be of age, and on there own. Well the girl anyway, the boy was somewhat odd, but for some reason his eyes held the same look as eyes that I am sure of have seen before," said Dilys.
"Well, can you describe them Dilys?" asked McGonagall.
"Oh yes, the young lady was very pretty but carried an odd expression on her face. She also had on a very odd looking necklace. It appeared to be made of Butterbeer caps if I am not mistaken. The young man that was accompanying her had shoulder length black hair, and vivid blue eyes. His hair hung in his face, so I was not able to see his face well, but his eyes shone through beautifully. He looked like he would go about six foot or maybe a tad bit shorter, but not by much," said Dilys.
"What where they their for?" said Remus as the description of the young man described Harry's descised description to a tee.
"I could not here what they were there for, but they were heading to the fourth floor," said Dilys.
"But that's magical accidents," said Tonks.
"Yes it is, but not to worry. They looked like they were in fine condition," said Dilys.
"Moody, Remus, and McGonagall. If it is not too much trouble I would like you to go and see for yourselves if it is truly two of our students," said Dumbeldore.
"Very well, and if they are they will be dealt with severely," said McGonagall as the three of them stood to leave the office. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` `````````````
"Yes dears, what seems to be the problem?" Asked a nurse to Harry and Luna after they had been taking into a small room waiting to see a doctor.
"Well you see, my brother was talking to much today, and I thought that if he continued to keep talking at the rate he was going he would damage his voice. You know it happened to a man in Whales before. The poor man talked non-stop for three days and on the fourth day his voice vanished, and he had to learn sign language. However, when he went on vacation he got lost, and since he hadn't learned sign language yet, he couldn't ask for directions, so he continued to wonder around, and no one has seen him since," said Luna in her dreamy voice.
"Harry's eyes became wide as saucers as he herd Luna's tale, but was quickly relieved when the nurse began chuckling aloud and touched Harry's knee. "Don't worry honey, the doctor will be in to see you shortly, but until then since you two do not appear to be of age, I am required to sit with the two of you. I hope that is not a problem," said the nurse.
Harry quickly shook his head as he gave the nurse a once over. She is very understanding, and upbeat. I bet she is around thirty-five years old, and would be for our order, thought Harry as he fumbled around in his robes for the enchanted piece of parchment. "Are you okay dear, do you need me to help you with something?" Asked the nurse.
Harry shook his head while he handed her the piece of parchment. "What is this now?" Asked the nurse quite amused. As the nurse looked at the parchment her eyes grew serious, and her facial expression hardened. "I can't believe this. If you are kidding with me young man, than you are in serious trouble," said the nurse in a hushed voice.
"What seems to be the problem Mary. The youngsters too much for you to handle. Well, I told the CEO of St. Mungos that they shouldn't have hired you. I told them that you did not meet my qualifications, and yet they hired you any way, and why are you holding a blank piece of parchment?" Asked a nurse who appeared to be the head nurse on the fourth floor.
"What, this is not bla." started Mary.
"Oh dear, are you all right, do you need some water or anything. Hear lie down," said Mary as she gently pushed Harry into a lying position and started feeling around on his neck and chest as Harry began coughing furiously.
"Well, it's about time you got to work, but I swear if that boy is dead when I get back, then you are fired," said the head nurse as she slammed the door to their room closed.
"Are you getting enough air?" asked Mary.
"Y-Yes, I am sorry to have frightened you Mary, but I did not want you to tell her about the parchment since she could not see the words written on it," said Harry.
"You can talk, but I thought that you had been hexed, and why couldn't she see the words on this piece of parchment?" Said Mary.
"SILENCIO!" Said Harry waving his wand around the room so that no one could here the conversation from outside the room.
"Okay, I lied about being hexed. My name is Harry Potter and this is Luna Lovegood. We came here today because we are looking for people that are in the medical field to join our order," said Harry. The only people that can see what is written on this piece of parchment are the ones who are true and are willing to join the order whole heartily. The others just see a blank page, and our order is kept secrete.
"What kind of order are you talking about. The stuff I read on that parchment said that you are forming an order to stand up against You- Know-Who," said Mary.
"Correction, there is already an order. We would just like you and hopefully a doctor and maybe another nurse to join the order. Surely you herd about that group of people who stopped You-Know-Who's raid on Diagon Alley last month," said Luna losing her dreamy voice.
"That was you kids?" Asked Mary.
"We are not kids, and since you were able to read the parchment then I know that you are willing to accept our offer. So all you need to do is verbalize it, and it will be official," said Harry.
"Let me see your scar then if you are The Harry Potter," said Mary.
"That's fair," said Harry parting his hair so Mary could see his forehead.
"It is you, Well I'll be. Mr. Potter it is so good to finally meet you. I never believed for one second those lies that the Daily Prophet was printing about you. Yes I will be more than willing to join your order, and provide you with my services. I think I maybe able to get you two more members from St. Mungos to join. Their names are April and Dr. Lenoge. She is a nurse as I in the spell damage ward, where Mr. Lenoge is a Healer that specializes in potions and antidotes for dangerous poisons. Let me go get them now, and we will see if they can see what is on the parchment as well.
"Ok, great," said Harry.
"Well, well, I see he is not dead, and he finally caught his breath. Did she have anything to do with it deary? Of course not, I don't need you to answer me sonny, she hasn't even removed your shirt to see if it was an injury causing your problems," said the Head Nurse as she walked into the room.
"As a matter of fact Janet, I was just about to take him and his sister to a different room so he can rest. He is not feeling quite well right now, but he seems to be comfortable around me, so I am going to stay with him while his doctor tends to him. Now if you don't mind since I was assigned to him, I will take him to a different room so he can rest in peace while we wait for his doctor," said Mary in an irritated tone.
"Humph!" Was all the Head Nurse offered in reply as she again slammed the door closed to Harry's room.
"Okay, Harry, why don't you and Luna follow me to a private wing where there are no patients right now. Mr. Anderson passed away yesterday, and we have not filled his room yet. I will have Mr. Lenoge and April paged to meet us there," said Mary.
Ten minutes later Harry, Luna, and Mary where all looking on anxiously as Mr. Lenoge and April took the parchment from Harry. "Oh my goodness, is this a joke Mary?" Said April. "No it is not April. I have already joined the order. If you two are smart you will do the same. This is exactly the chance we have been looking for. We may not be trained in dueling, but we could be very efficient to Harry's order with our training in Healing. "You are rite Mary, but don't you think it's a bit odd we will be receiving orders from a child? No offense Harry, You have no idea how much respect I hold for you, but you got to see where Alex and I are coming from.
"I know what you must be thinking, but if you do not join then we will just seek out someone else. My order and I will stop Voldemort sooner or later. We may be made up of mostly Hogwarts' students now, but in two or three years we will all be graduated," said Harry.
"My daddy told me once that You-Know-Who got strong because everyone feared him including my father and would not stand up to him," said Luna.
"Everyone has a right to fear that man. He is the darkest wizard to over inhabit the wizarding world," said Mr. Lenoge. "I have for a very long time wanted to do something about it, but I always thought that it we be with a group of the best trained wizards the wizarding wold had to offer, not some school kids.
"Who else do you know that has faced Voldemort four times alone, and has lived? I have and am here now asking for your help. If you do not wish to join then that is your choice you will not remember a thing about this meeting within three minutes of your refusal. However, do not use the excuse that you are not joining because you think that my order is not strong enough," said Harry beginning to lose his cool.
"His rite Alex, we are skeptical because we are scared, not because of the age group that we are joining with, and they have already proven themselves once," said April.
"I know, okay Mr. Potter you have yourself two more members to your order," said Mr. Lenoge while taking Harry's hand and giving it a firm shake.
I cannot tale you how pleased I am to here that. Here are your necklaces to alert you when you are needed," said Harry.
"Like when you have a meeting?" asked Mary.
"Yes, well our meetings are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from eight to ten at night. However, all you will need to attend is the first thirty minutes of every meeting since that is where we are updated and bring up any pressing matters," said Harry.
"Well, how does the necklace work, and if you go into battle will you want us there as well?" Asked April.
"To answer your first question if I want to summon you I will touch my necklace with my wand tip, and your necklace will grow hot. Now, my friend Hermione found a new charm just for this situation that will alert you if I am at Hogwarts our outside of Hogwarts since you cannot apparate into Hogwarts. That is why I am giving you this portkey to transport you to our meeting room at Hogwarts if we are there. When you arrive we will provide you with another one for another time. However, when I am not in Hogwarts if you will just think about being by my side as you apparate you will appear by my side. It is kind of cool actually. Your second question is yes I would like you three to be present during our battles. You will not however, being participating in the fighting, you will be under my invisibility cloak while we are fighting. When one of us is injured you can attend to them then under the invisibility cloak. It is large enough for you three to stay concealed while you pull our injured member to safety," said Harry.
"I am impressed Mr. Potter. Do not get me wrong. Like I said before I have been a big believer in you since you were just a toddler, but my skepticism was for nothing. You have thought this out better then I ever could have. It will still be a little awkward to be taking orders from someone so young, but believe me when I say that I will do what is asked of me with out any hesitation," said Mr. Lenoge.
"Same here," chorused April and Mary.
"I am happy to hear it, but you really are not taking orders from me. True I am the head of the secrete order, but we all have say in what goes on. Think of it as an order run by a Democracy instead of Diplomacy," Said Harry.
"Wow Harry Hermione was rite. You have been reading more books lately," chided Luna with her dreamy voice again. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
"That's great I can't believe you were able to get three people from St. Mungos to join," chorused several members of the secrete order as they were all sitting around a table at the Three Broom Sticks drinking butterbeers.
"Yeah, you all will meet them at our next meeting. I think they are going to be a great asset in our latter battles," said Harry.
"Yeah, now we don't have to worry about going to Madam Pomphrey any longer," said Alicia.
As the group settled into a discussion about the next Quidditch match between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, they were not aware of Professor McGonagall, Remus, and Moody who walked up behind them. However, when McGonagall gave a sharp cough they all turned around to see who was disturbing their conversation.
"Mr. Potter, I would like you and Ms. Lovegood to follow me back to Hogwarts this instance. I believe we have some matters to attend to if I am not mistaken," said McGonagall with her lips taking on the thin line that they always do when she was upset.
As Harry and Luna rose to live the rest of the Secrete Order were all wondering if the teachers knew where Harry and Luna had been. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````````````````
"Just tell me exactly what you two did today," said McGonagall.
"I don't understand what this is all about? Remus what is going on?" Asked Harry.
"Answer her question Harry," said Remus shortly.
"Well I hung out with my friends earlier today, and then we all had a butterbeer in the Three Broom Sticks were you found us," said Harry as he wondered how McGonagall, Remus, and Moody could not here his heartbeat as he felt it was going to beat out of his chest.
"Mr. Potter I do not believe you," said McGonagall.
"It's true professor, and we were having a butterbeer with our friends," said Luna.
"Yes, but I believe you also visited St. Mungos if I am correct," said McGonagall.
"Why would we have gone there?" said Harry.
"That is exactly what I would like to know," said Remus.
"If there was an explanation then I would give you one," said Harry.
"Stop playing games with us Harry. I know you are lying to us," said Remus.
"Since when did you become a seer," said Harry, as he was becoming very irritated towards Lupin. Harry was angry to say the least that Remus was not on his side during all of this.
"Fine Luna I am giving you a weeks worth of detention. I cannot be sure if it was you or not so you will not have to do actual detention. You will just have to help your head of house everyday for thirty minutes after dinner, and I will be deducting 25 points from your house. You will also not be permitted to go on the next Hogsmead trip. Now if you will please leave my office, and consider yourself lucky that I do not pursue the matter further for you could be expelled if I proved that you indeed did go to St. Mungos," said McGonagall.
"Okay," said Luna as she gave an apologetic glance towards Harry as she left McGonagall's office.
"What did you think you were doing Harry. Do you think all of that security we were placing on you last year was for our own amusement?" Said Remus.
"No, and believe me when I say that I was sick and tired of it!" Said Harry.
"Potter don't talk to an elder like that!" said McGonagall. "Now we had a witness that says that you were at St. Mungos in a disguise."
"What, so you having me followed again?" said Harry.
"Well we wouldn't have to if you would do what you were supposed to do!" said Remus.
"You don't even know if it was me that your so called witness saw at St. Mungos!" said Harry.
"Potter, don't start with us. We know it was you, when we herd the description we knew immediately it was you," said Moody.
Harry's anger was beginning to rise as he new he was being cornered into telling them why he was there. "Mr. Potter I will not ask you again. Why were you at St. Mungos?" Said McGonagall.
"If I was their then that information would not be for you all to know!" Said Harry.
"It bloody well is for us to know Harry, and I don't appreciate your tone right now!" said Remus who had also become flustered with Harry. When he had heard the description of Harry's disguise from Dilys, he had feared the Harry would be recognized and captured without some form of protection.
"If it was for you to know then I would have told you now wouldn't I!" Said Harry.
"Two weeks worth of detention, and you will not visit Hogsmead for the rest of this year!" said McGongall whose hair was starting to come out of her bun and her face was red with anger towards Harry's tone. "You will report to my office everyday after class, is that clear?"
"WHAT? WHAT TIME WILL I HAVE TO MEET WITH YOU!" Yelled Harry.
"You will meet with me from six to nine every day for the next two weeks including your weekends," said McGonagall.
"I can't do that professor," said Harry.
"This is not up to you," said McGonagall shortly.
"WHY DON'T YOU ALL MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!" Yelled Harry before could stop himself.
"Do not speak that way to us Harry. We are all risking a lot to keep you safe!" Said Remus.
"I DON'T NEED YOU ALL TO FOLLOW ME EVERY WHERE I GO!" said Harry.
Moody and McGonagall where in somewhat of a shocked state seeing Harry and Remus row like this. McGonagall had only herd of Remus getting onto Harry once in his third year. She had done it a few time over Harry's time at Hogwarts, but Harry was quick to put it behind him since she was his teacher and Head of House.
"Harry use head, and stop acting irrational. Then we wouldn't have to follow you around!" Said Remus.
"YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO IF YOU WOULD JUST LEAVE ME BE!" Said Remus.
"Remember what I said in your third year Harry? Your actions rite now are a poor way to repay your parents for their sacrifice, and I would think Sirius's sacrifice would have meant more to you" Said Remus. As soon as the words had left his mouth though he knew he had messed up; especially since Harry had gone as pale white as a ghost and his eyes returned to the dull green color that they had held for so long after Sirius had died.
"Harry I didn't mean to say that," said Remus but it didn't seem to register with Harry.
Harry felt like the wind had been knocked out of him. Not one day had passed that Harry did not think about Sirius. Then when he would think about Sirius he would begin thinking about how nice it would have been to have his parents with him. What really hit him the hardest is that Remus was the one who hit him with that, and not someone like Snape. "Goodnight professor," said Harry as he walked lifelessly to the door and exited before Remus could think of something to say. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``````````
"Oh, no what did I just say?" Said Remus.
McGonagall had been a little worried that Remus and Harry would become upset with each other and leave her office upset with each other, but this never crossed her mind. "Don't worry Remus, I will make sure that Harry is okay in a little while. I think it is best if we give him a little time to himself before I go check. I don't think we are his three favorite people in the world right now," said McGonagall as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
With that Remus got up and took the same walk Harry had done earlier as he followed Moody out of McGonagall's office.
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` `````````
I knew everyone blamed me for his death. Why wouldn't they think that, thought Harry as he wondered aimlessly through the deserted halls of Hogwarts?
"Harry, are you okay?" said a soft voice from behind him, but Harry didn't stop to answer he just continued walking.
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````
Guy's I just ran into Harry and something is not rite. He didn't even answer me when I asked him if he was okay. He just continued walking towards the Astronomy Tower, and he was as white as a ghost," said Susan Bones to Sarah, Hermione, Ron, and few other members that were all sitting at a table in the Great Hall for Harry to come down to dinner. Luna had already told them what her punishment was, and that they had kept Harry.
"Let's go," said Ron as he, Hermione, and Sarah all got up and left in a hurry out of the Great Hall and towards the Astronomy Tower.
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````` Wow this chapter came out longer then I had anticipated, but I had fun writing in. I hope it was as fun to read. Trust me when I say that more action is coming soon, but I am sure you see that it is headed to that anyway. Also don't worry Remus has not turned bad, I just carried on his protective discipline like the way he got on to Harry during his third year. Now I am going to answer some more questions I am receiving. For one, I am not able to check my e-mails so if you have sent one, I am sorry you have not got a reply, but I will get you one as soon as my e-mail gets fixed. Second, to the concerns about Sarah. I know I said she wouldn't be a big part in the story, and right now I don't think she is. A few lines here are there is all I am trying to give her just so she can still be considered in the story, and so Harry has his love interest. When Harry needs her she will be there for him along with everyone else. She just want be mentioned to much during battles since I don't like it when original characters are all powerful and are stronger then Harry. Third some of you are saying that the killing curse cannot be blocked. I have no idea if that is true or not. It probably is since two people have written in with concerns on that topic. If it is written in the book then I apologize for my slip. I didn't no, and thought that you might be able to since Voldemort at the end of book five during his and Dumbeldore's duel thought it was odd that he didn't cast the killing curse when Voldemort used his shield to block the spell Dumbeldore cast towards him. If someone can clarify this for me I would be very appreciative, and will give a special thanks to whoever finds it, and to the two people who reviewed with your concerns. Again thank you for all of your reviews. They mean a lot, for if you didn't review like you do then writing would lose its fun, but all of you are great with your reviews, and I catch myself laughing at a few of them. So the next chapter will be up next Saturday, until then have fun reading.
"Okay so you are going to play my sister, and say that you got upset with me and accidentally hit me with a hex that took my voice away. You know, a hex that is not so bad that they will look into the matter, and not to small a hex that the lady at the front desk could take care of it," said Harry.
"Gotcha, but I think it would be more believable if we said that you got bitten by Crumple-Horned Snorkack. Don't you?" Asked Luna in a dreamy voice.
"Ah, no, I think we will just stick with our original plan," said Harry hoping that Luna would stick with the earlier version as to why they were here. That's all they needed was to be thrown in to the loony ward with Gilderoy Lockhart because of one of Luna's unbelievable stories, thought Harry.
As Harry and Luna stood outside of St. Mungos Hospital, which had the appearance of a large, old fashioned, red brick department store. Harry did the same thing he remembered Tonks doing when they all came here last year to see Mr. Weasley after the attack. "Ah, we are here for a magical accident," said Harry to the funny looking manikin in the window. The dummy just as last year beckoned them forward after a few seconds and he and Luna walked through the glass window to the other side where they found a mildly busy St. Mungos.
"Okay, so I get to take over from here now, so no talking," said Luna.
With a slight nod of agreement from Harry they both walked up to the floor guide. "Okay brother, I guess since I hexed you then we should head to the fourth floor for Spell Damage. As they both moved towards the elevator, Harry's eyes landed on same portrait that hung on the first floor wall of St. Mungos that he remembered from last year. He could remember her giving them all a calculating stare before her facial expressions softened and she had winked at him. The witches name was Dilys Derwent (St. Mungos Healer 1722-1741, Headmistress of Hogwarts School of WitchCraft and Wizardry, 1741-1768) was listed below her portrait. Sure enough she was there again eyeing them with another peculiar stare before she winked at him again, and then walked out of her portrait. I wonder if there is a portrait of her in Hogwarts since she was a Headmistress thought Harry, as he and Luna got on the elevator. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````````````````
"Severus have you learned any more valuable information that we could use from your last meeting?" Asked Dubeldore.
"No, he is not telling us much. All I can gather is that he is planning something that I don't think we are going to be ready for. He will not even tell his most loyal death eaters what he has planned, and I still have not got a clue as to what that potion I helped make could be used for," said Severus.
"Don't worry Severus, you are doing a good job. The main thing is that you have not been discovered. Remember when your cover is even remotely close to being blown, we are pulling you out. You are to valuable an asset to us to lose you like that. Just continue to do as you are, and nothing more Severus," said Dumbeldore with a calm but demanding voice. That is all I ask.
"Very well Headmaster," said Severus.
"Albus, have we received word on the whereabouts of the Dementors?" asked McGonagall.
"I am afraid not Minerva. Arthur is doing all he can inside the Ministry to find there whereabouts, but as of right now there has been no news on them. The last time they have been seen is when two were sent to attack Harry at his home. Let us hope he will not meet them alone again," said Dumbeldore.
"Let us hope that indeed. However, that boy's magic is improving with each day. I am sure you all saw how he handled himself during his duel with the Malfoy kid. He will make a fine Aurora some day if he makes it out of this alive," Growled Moody.
"Of course he will make it out of this alive. He will not be seeing much fighting in this war Moody. Albus here will make sure of that, and will not let him see more fighting then what he needs to, will you Albus?" Said Molly.
"Molly, you must understand that Harry is no longer a small child. He has witnessed I dare say more then most of us in this room can imagine, and has handled it remarkable well. All I know is that when the time comes Molly, Harry will take his place, and fight against Voldemort. I will not let him go into his battle alone, but I am afraid if what I feel is correct, Harry will duel Voldemort alone, and there is no other way about it," said Dumbeldore in his calm tone.
"That is preposterous Albus. How is Harry supposed to defeat You-Know- Who for heaven sakes? I know you all are tired of hearing me say this, but it is true. I do not care what you say, he along with Ron and Hermoine do not belong in this battle. They are to young for this, and you know it," said Molly.
"Molly, I will not argue with you that Harry should not have to face Voldemort. No one should ever have to face that man, but what I do no is that Harry has faced him four times alone now, and has come away from each encounter alive after a few days with Poppy. You along with the rest in this room do not know the extent of what his encounters with Voldemort have brought upon him, and not one of you knows what really took place that night during the Triwizard Tournament. The only other person Harry told about what happened that night is Sirius, and I think it is time that I tell you this now so you may understand what he has truly gone through," said Dumbeldore while his eyes began to look somber.
"You all know that Harry and Cedric where transported to a secrete location where Harry met Voldemort and Cedric was murdered. What you do not know is that Harry witnessed Cedric die while he was standing beside him. You all do not know this because Harry has kept this bit of information to himself. He figured since you all knew that Cedric died what difference did it make that you knew he died while they stood side by side. After He witnessed his friend die, he was restrained and tied to a headstone where he witnessed Peter Petigrew brew a potion that brought Voldemort back to a physical body. But the potion required the blood of an enemy, so Peter cut into Harry's arm with a dagger, and let a cup of Harry's blood flow freely from his arm into a container where Peter later administered it to the potion only after chopping off his own hand; finishing it, and successfully bringing Voldemort back to a physical state. Afterwards Harry was released from his restraints and giving his wand, where he was forced into a duel with Voldemort while he was surrounded in a circle of death eaters. I am sure Harry was terrified beyond belief with what he was being forced to do, but I also know that he did face Voldemort head on, and took his fate with honor. Voldemort then played with Harry, torturing him with the Cruciatus Curse twice, and just taking it off when Harry was about to lose continuousness. Harry however, surprised everyone there when he mustered up the strength to cast a disarming spell towards Voldemort as he cast the killing curse. Many of you may not know this, but Harry and Voldemort's wands have the same cores residing in their wands. The phoenix tail feathers that reside in their wands are none other than Fawks here who only allowed two feathers to be to be plucked from his tail. When to wands that have the same cores duel against one another, some strange things can occur, and that is exactly what happened that night. For when Harry and Voldemort's curses met, a different spell was created, connecting both Harry's wand and Voldemort's wand together. The spell that was created is known as (Priori Incantatem), therefore, causing Voldemort's wand to emit part of the spirits that he had taken during his rain of terror. Harry saw the spirits of his parents that night along with many others, and he has endured all of that and what has happened before and after with great honor and bravery. Molly, and the rest of you here, I know that we have all taken a special liking to Mr. Potter, and we all wish to look out for him, but let us treat him with the respect he deserves. Remember this when you wish to tell him he is to young to be sticking his noes where you think it does not belong, for I say that it is his noes that belongs there more than anyone's does. It just took me a while to realize it, and now there is a chance that I may not be able to fix what my injustice to him has caused," said Dumbeldore to a now speechless, and many of them were in tears order that sat before him.
"Excuse me, I am quite sorry to barge in on you Phineas, but I need to speak with Dumbeldore," said Dilys Derwent.
"Of course Dilys, what brings you here today?" asked Dumbeldore as his eyes regained their normal sparkle.
"Well, I am not positively sure if they are two of your students, but a teenage girl between the ages 14-16 arrived with a young man about thirty minutes ago as St. Mungos. They were not wearing Hogwarts robes, but they looked too young to be of age, and on there own. Well the girl anyway, the boy was somewhat odd, but for some reason his eyes held the same look as eyes that I am sure of have seen before," said Dilys.
"Well, can you describe them Dilys?" asked McGonagall.
"Oh yes, the young lady was very pretty but carried an odd expression on her face. She also had on a very odd looking necklace. It appeared to be made of Butterbeer caps if I am not mistaken. The young man that was accompanying her had shoulder length black hair, and vivid blue eyes. His hair hung in his face, so I was not able to see his face well, but his eyes shone through beautifully. He looked like he would go about six foot or maybe a tad bit shorter, but not by much," said Dilys.
"What where they their for?" said Remus as the description of the young man described Harry's descised description to a tee.
"I could not here what they were there for, but they were heading to the fourth floor," said Dilys.
"But that's magical accidents," said Tonks.
"Yes it is, but not to worry. They looked like they were in fine condition," said Dilys.
"Moody, Remus, and McGonagall. If it is not too much trouble I would like you to go and see for yourselves if it is truly two of our students," said Dumbeldore.
"Very well, and if they are they will be dealt with severely," said McGonagall as the three of them stood to leave the office. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` `````````````
"Yes dears, what seems to be the problem?" Asked a nurse to Harry and Luna after they had been taking into a small room waiting to see a doctor.
"Well you see, my brother was talking to much today, and I thought that if he continued to keep talking at the rate he was going he would damage his voice. You know it happened to a man in Whales before. The poor man talked non-stop for three days and on the fourth day his voice vanished, and he had to learn sign language. However, when he went on vacation he got lost, and since he hadn't learned sign language yet, he couldn't ask for directions, so he continued to wonder around, and no one has seen him since," said Luna in her dreamy voice.
"Harry's eyes became wide as saucers as he herd Luna's tale, but was quickly relieved when the nurse began chuckling aloud and touched Harry's knee. "Don't worry honey, the doctor will be in to see you shortly, but until then since you two do not appear to be of age, I am required to sit with the two of you. I hope that is not a problem," said the nurse.
Harry quickly shook his head as he gave the nurse a once over. She is very understanding, and upbeat. I bet she is around thirty-five years old, and would be for our order, thought Harry as he fumbled around in his robes for the enchanted piece of parchment. "Are you okay dear, do you need me to help you with something?" Asked the nurse.
Harry shook his head while he handed her the piece of parchment. "What is this now?" Asked the nurse quite amused. As the nurse looked at the parchment her eyes grew serious, and her facial expression hardened. "I can't believe this. If you are kidding with me young man, than you are in serious trouble," said the nurse in a hushed voice.
"What seems to be the problem Mary. The youngsters too much for you to handle. Well, I told the CEO of St. Mungos that they shouldn't have hired you. I told them that you did not meet my qualifications, and yet they hired you any way, and why are you holding a blank piece of parchment?" Asked a nurse who appeared to be the head nurse on the fourth floor.
"What, this is not bla." started Mary.
"Oh dear, are you all right, do you need some water or anything. Hear lie down," said Mary as she gently pushed Harry into a lying position and started feeling around on his neck and chest as Harry began coughing furiously.
"Well, it's about time you got to work, but I swear if that boy is dead when I get back, then you are fired," said the head nurse as she slammed the door to their room closed.
"Are you getting enough air?" asked Mary.
"Y-Yes, I am sorry to have frightened you Mary, but I did not want you to tell her about the parchment since she could not see the words written on it," said Harry.
"You can talk, but I thought that you had been hexed, and why couldn't she see the words on this piece of parchment?" Said Mary.
"SILENCIO!" Said Harry waving his wand around the room so that no one could here the conversation from outside the room.
"Okay, I lied about being hexed. My name is Harry Potter and this is Luna Lovegood. We came here today because we are looking for people that are in the medical field to join our order," said Harry. The only people that can see what is written on this piece of parchment are the ones who are true and are willing to join the order whole heartily. The others just see a blank page, and our order is kept secrete.
"What kind of order are you talking about. The stuff I read on that parchment said that you are forming an order to stand up against You- Know-Who," said Mary.
"Correction, there is already an order. We would just like you and hopefully a doctor and maybe another nurse to join the order. Surely you herd about that group of people who stopped You-Know-Who's raid on Diagon Alley last month," said Luna losing her dreamy voice.
"That was you kids?" Asked Mary.
"We are not kids, and since you were able to read the parchment then I know that you are willing to accept our offer. So all you need to do is verbalize it, and it will be official," said Harry.
"Let me see your scar then if you are The Harry Potter," said Mary.
"That's fair," said Harry parting his hair so Mary could see his forehead.
"It is you, Well I'll be. Mr. Potter it is so good to finally meet you. I never believed for one second those lies that the Daily Prophet was printing about you. Yes I will be more than willing to join your order, and provide you with my services. I think I maybe able to get you two more members from St. Mungos to join. Their names are April and Dr. Lenoge. She is a nurse as I in the spell damage ward, where Mr. Lenoge is a Healer that specializes in potions and antidotes for dangerous poisons. Let me go get them now, and we will see if they can see what is on the parchment as well.
"Ok, great," said Harry.
"Well, well, I see he is not dead, and he finally caught his breath. Did she have anything to do with it deary? Of course not, I don't need you to answer me sonny, she hasn't even removed your shirt to see if it was an injury causing your problems," said the Head Nurse as she walked into the room.
"As a matter of fact Janet, I was just about to take him and his sister to a different room so he can rest. He is not feeling quite well right now, but he seems to be comfortable around me, so I am going to stay with him while his doctor tends to him. Now if you don't mind since I was assigned to him, I will take him to a different room so he can rest in peace while we wait for his doctor," said Mary in an irritated tone.
"Humph!" Was all the Head Nurse offered in reply as she again slammed the door closed to Harry's room.
"Okay, Harry, why don't you and Luna follow me to a private wing where there are no patients right now. Mr. Anderson passed away yesterday, and we have not filled his room yet. I will have Mr. Lenoge and April paged to meet us there," said Mary.
Ten minutes later Harry, Luna, and Mary where all looking on anxiously as Mr. Lenoge and April took the parchment from Harry. "Oh my goodness, is this a joke Mary?" Said April. "No it is not April. I have already joined the order. If you two are smart you will do the same. This is exactly the chance we have been looking for. We may not be trained in dueling, but we could be very efficient to Harry's order with our training in Healing. "You are rite Mary, but don't you think it's a bit odd we will be receiving orders from a child? No offense Harry, You have no idea how much respect I hold for you, but you got to see where Alex and I are coming from.
"I know what you must be thinking, but if you do not join then we will just seek out someone else. My order and I will stop Voldemort sooner or later. We may be made up of mostly Hogwarts' students now, but in two or three years we will all be graduated," said Harry.
"My daddy told me once that You-Know-Who got strong because everyone feared him including my father and would not stand up to him," said Luna.
"Everyone has a right to fear that man. He is the darkest wizard to over inhabit the wizarding world," said Mr. Lenoge. "I have for a very long time wanted to do something about it, but I always thought that it we be with a group of the best trained wizards the wizarding wold had to offer, not some school kids.
"Who else do you know that has faced Voldemort four times alone, and has lived? I have and am here now asking for your help. If you do not wish to join then that is your choice you will not remember a thing about this meeting within three minutes of your refusal. However, do not use the excuse that you are not joining because you think that my order is not strong enough," said Harry beginning to lose his cool.
"His rite Alex, we are skeptical because we are scared, not because of the age group that we are joining with, and they have already proven themselves once," said April.
"I know, okay Mr. Potter you have yourself two more members to your order," said Mr. Lenoge while taking Harry's hand and giving it a firm shake.
I cannot tale you how pleased I am to here that. Here are your necklaces to alert you when you are needed," said Harry.
"Like when you have a meeting?" asked Mary.
"Yes, well our meetings are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from eight to ten at night. However, all you will need to attend is the first thirty minutes of every meeting since that is where we are updated and bring up any pressing matters," said Harry.
"Well, how does the necklace work, and if you go into battle will you want us there as well?" Asked April.
"To answer your first question if I want to summon you I will touch my necklace with my wand tip, and your necklace will grow hot. Now, my friend Hermione found a new charm just for this situation that will alert you if I am at Hogwarts our outside of Hogwarts since you cannot apparate into Hogwarts. That is why I am giving you this portkey to transport you to our meeting room at Hogwarts if we are there. When you arrive we will provide you with another one for another time. However, when I am not in Hogwarts if you will just think about being by my side as you apparate you will appear by my side. It is kind of cool actually. Your second question is yes I would like you three to be present during our battles. You will not however, being participating in the fighting, you will be under my invisibility cloak while we are fighting. When one of us is injured you can attend to them then under the invisibility cloak. It is large enough for you three to stay concealed while you pull our injured member to safety," said Harry.
"I am impressed Mr. Potter. Do not get me wrong. Like I said before I have been a big believer in you since you were just a toddler, but my skepticism was for nothing. You have thought this out better then I ever could have. It will still be a little awkward to be taking orders from someone so young, but believe me when I say that I will do what is asked of me with out any hesitation," said Mr. Lenoge.
"Same here," chorused April and Mary.
"I am happy to hear it, but you really are not taking orders from me. True I am the head of the secrete order, but we all have say in what goes on. Think of it as an order run by a Democracy instead of Diplomacy," Said Harry.
"Wow Harry Hermione was rite. You have been reading more books lately," chided Luna with her dreamy voice again. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
"That's great I can't believe you were able to get three people from St. Mungos to join," chorused several members of the secrete order as they were all sitting around a table at the Three Broom Sticks drinking butterbeers.
"Yeah, you all will meet them at our next meeting. I think they are going to be a great asset in our latter battles," said Harry.
"Yeah, now we don't have to worry about going to Madam Pomphrey any longer," said Alicia.
As the group settled into a discussion about the next Quidditch match between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, they were not aware of Professor McGonagall, Remus, and Moody who walked up behind them. However, when McGonagall gave a sharp cough they all turned around to see who was disturbing their conversation.
"Mr. Potter, I would like you and Ms. Lovegood to follow me back to Hogwarts this instance. I believe we have some matters to attend to if I am not mistaken," said McGonagall with her lips taking on the thin line that they always do when she was upset.
As Harry and Luna rose to live the rest of the Secrete Order were all wondering if the teachers knew where Harry and Luna had been. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````````````````
"Just tell me exactly what you two did today," said McGonagall.
"I don't understand what this is all about? Remus what is going on?" Asked Harry.
"Answer her question Harry," said Remus shortly.
"Well I hung out with my friends earlier today, and then we all had a butterbeer in the Three Broom Sticks were you found us," said Harry as he wondered how McGonagall, Remus, and Moody could not here his heartbeat as he felt it was going to beat out of his chest.
"Mr. Potter I do not believe you," said McGonagall.
"It's true professor, and we were having a butterbeer with our friends," said Luna.
"Yes, but I believe you also visited St. Mungos if I am correct," said McGonagall.
"Why would we have gone there?" said Harry.
"That is exactly what I would like to know," said Remus.
"If there was an explanation then I would give you one," said Harry.
"Stop playing games with us Harry. I know you are lying to us," said Remus.
"Since when did you become a seer," said Harry, as he was becoming very irritated towards Lupin. Harry was angry to say the least that Remus was not on his side during all of this.
"Fine Luna I am giving you a weeks worth of detention. I cannot be sure if it was you or not so you will not have to do actual detention. You will just have to help your head of house everyday for thirty minutes after dinner, and I will be deducting 25 points from your house. You will also not be permitted to go on the next Hogsmead trip. Now if you will please leave my office, and consider yourself lucky that I do not pursue the matter further for you could be expelled if I proved that you indeed did go to St. Mungos," said McGonagall.
"Okay," said Luna as she gave an apologetic glance towards Harry as she left McGonagall's office.
"What did you think you were doing Harry. Do you think all of that security we were placing on you last year was for our own amusement?" Said Remus.
"No, and believe me when I say that I was sick and tired of it!" Said Harry.
"Potter don't talk to an elder like that!" said McGonagall. "Now we had a witness that says that you were at St. Mungos in a disguise."
"What, so you having me followed again?" said Harry.
"Well we wouldn't have to if you would do what you were supposed to do!" said Remus.
"You don't even know if it was me that your so called witness saw at St. Mungos!" said Harry.
"Potter, don't start with us. We know it was you, when we herd the description we knew immediately it was you," said Moody.
Harry's anger was beginning to rise as he new he was being cornered into telling them why he was there. "Mr. Potter I will not ask you again. Why were you at St. Mungos?" Said McGonagall.
"If I was their then that information would not be for you all to know!" Said Harry.
"It bloody well is for us to know Harry, and I don't appreciate your tone right now!" said Remus who had also become flustered with Harry. When he had heard the description of Harry's disguise from Dilys, he had feared the Harry would be recognized and captured without some form of protection.
"If it was for you to know then I would have told you now wouldn't I!" Said Harry.
"Two weeks worth of detention, and you will not visit Hogsmead for the rest of this year!" said McGongall whose hair was starting to come out of her bun and her face was red with anger towards Harry's tone. "You will report to my office everyday after class, is that clear?"
"WHAT? WHAT TIME WILL I HAVE TO MEET WITH YOU!" Yelled Harry.
"You will meet with me from six to nine every day for the next two weeks including your weekends," said McGonagall.
"I can't do that professor," said Harry.
"This is not up to you," said McGonagall shortly.
"WHY DON'T YOU ALL MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!" Yelled Harry before could stop himself.
"Do not speak that way to us Harry. We are all risking a lot to keep you safe!" Said Remus.
"I DON'T NEED YOU ALL TO FOLLOW ME EVERY WHERE I GO!" said Harry.
Moody and McGonagall where in somewhat of a shocked state seeing Harry and Remus row like this. McGonagall had only herd of Remus getting onto Harry once in his third year. She had done it a few time over Harry's time at Hogwarts, but Harry was quick to put it behind him since she was his teacher and Head of House.
"Harry use head, and stop acting irrational. Then we wouldn't have to follow you around!" Said Remus.
"YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO IF YOU WOULD JUST LEAVE ME BE!" Said Remus.
"Remember what I said in your third year Harry? Your actions rite now are a poor way to repay your parents for their sacrifice, and I would think Sirius's sacrifice would have meant more to you" Said Remus. As soon as the words had left his mouth though he knew he had messed up; especially since Harry had gone as pale white as a ghost and his eyes returned to the dull green color that they had held for so long after Sirius had died.
"Harry I didn't mean to say that," said Remus but it didn't seem to register with Harry.
Harry felt like the wind had been knocked out of him. Not one day had passed that Harry did not think about Sirius. Then when he would think about Sirius he would begin thinking about how nice it would have been to have his parents with him. What really hit him the hardest is that Remus was the one who hit him with that, and not someone like Snape. "Goodnight professor," said Harry as he walked lifelessly to the door and exited before Remus could think of something to say. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``````````
"Oh, no what did I just say?" Said Remus.
McGonagall had been a little worried that Remus and Harry would become upset with each other and leave her office upset with each other, but this never crossed her mind. "Don't worry Remus, I will make sure that Harry is okay in a little while. I think it is best if we give him a little time to himself before I go check. I don't think we are his three favorite people in the world right now," said McGonagall as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
With that Remus got up and took the same walk Harry had done earlier as he followed Moody out of McGonagall's office.
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` `````````
I knew everyone blamed me for his death. Why wouldn't they think that, thought Harry as he wondered aimlessly through the deserted halls of Hogwarts?
"Harry, are you okay?" said a soft voice from behind him, but Harry didn't stop to answer he just continued walking.
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````
Guy's I just ran into Harry and something is not rite. He didn't even answer me when I asked him if he was okay. He just continued walking towards the Astronomy Tower, and he was as white as a ghost," said Susan Bones to Sarah, Hermione, Ron, and few other members that were all sitting at a table in the Great Hall for Harry to come down to dinner. Luna had already told them what her punishment was, and that they had kept Harry.
"Let's go," said Ron as he, Hermione, and Sarah all got up and left in a hurry out of the Great Hall and towards the Astronomy Tower.
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````` Wow this chapter came out longer then I had anticipated, but I had fun writing in. I hope it was as fun to read. Trust me when I say that more action is coming soon, but I am sure you see that it is headed to that anyway. Also don't worry Remus has not turned bad, I just carried on his protective discipline like the way he got on to Harry during his third year. Now I am going to answer some more questions I am receiving. For one, I am not able to check my e-mails so if you have sent one, I am sorry you have not got a reply, but I will get you one as soon as my e-mail gets fixed. Second, to the concerns about Sarah. I know I said she wouldn't be a big part in the story, and right now I don't think she is. A few lines here are there is all I am trying to give her just so she can still be considered in the story, and so Harry has his love interest. When Harry needs her she will be there for him along with everyone else. She just want be mentioned to much during battles since I don't like it when original characters are all powerful and are stronger then Harry. Third some of you are saying that the killing curse cannot be blocked. I have no idea if that is true or not. It probably is since two people have written in with concerns on that topic. If it is written in the book then I apologize for my slip. I didn't no, and thought that you might be able to since Voldemort at the end of book five during his and Dumbeldore's duel thought it was odd that he didn't cast the killing curse when Voldemort used his shield to block the spell Dumbeldore cast towards him. If someone can clarify this for me I would be very appreciative, and will give a special thanks to whoever finds it, and to the two people who reviewed with your concerns. Again thank you for all of your reviews. They mean a lot, for if you didn't review like you do then writing would lose its fun, but all of you are great with your reviews, and I catch myself laughing at a few of them. So the next chapter will be up next Saturday, until then have fun reading.
