Destiny

Chapter6: The Big Mistake

The next few weeks were pretty uneventful for Sirius, Harry and Charlie. Remus continued to visit them at the weekends bringing gifts for Harry and Charlie every time. Charlie's arm was nearly healed and every thing was relaxed.

However, one Tuesday a few days before the Christmas Holidays there was a taste of what was to come. Sirius had just dropped Harry and Charlie off at school and he was heading to work as usual.

Harry and Charlie had gone in to their classroom and the lessons had begun, again as usual. However, things went wrong when Harry and Charlie stepped out on the playground at breaktime. Recently some of the older boys had begun to pick on Charlie. Harry hated this and insisted on being a bodyguard type figure to her. Harry had always been overly protective of Charlie and today was no different.

Harry and Charlie were sat on a bench near their classroom sharing a chocolate frog (which Harry had snaffled from his secret stash at Pranksters Palace.)

They were talking in a none suspect way about Quidditch.

"Did you see that move that that seeker did?" Harry asked Charlie

Charlie nodded in reply

"One day I will be able to do that! Won't it be cool!" Harry smiled

Charlie nodded again.

Seeing the approaching bullies, she cowered away behind Harry.

"Oh Rosie!" one of them yelled

"Yeah Rosie we've got a present for you!" one of the others yelled

"Yeah a knuckle sandwich!" laughed the third boy.

They closed in around Charlie and Harry forming a menacing wall around them. Charlie squeaked and tried unsuccessfully to hide behind Harry some more.

Harry looked the bullies straight in the eyes and said bravely

"Leave us alone!"

"And why?" one of the bullies asked, "should we do that?"

"Because I say so!" Harry answered trying to be brave like Sirius had always taught him.

"Tom is going to hurt us!" cried one of the boys in mock horror

"Lets pound 'um!" yelled one of them loudly

the bullies began to crowed in on them.

Harry and Charlie huddled together.

'What would Sirius do?' Harry asked himself. Harry decided Sirius would face them. He swivelled around to stare the biggest bully in the face.

The minute Harry looked at the bullies and something exploded the bullies were sent flying.

Harry and Charlie were so shocked they just stood there, open-mouthed.

One of the teachers rushed over to see what had happened one another rushed over to the bullies and helped them up.

"What Happened?" Miss Hoggines asked them

"They were picking on us!" Harry said sharply "then they just kind of flew back when something exploded!"

"Ok, come on let's go inside." Miss Hoggines said calmly "we'll sort this out in the headmistress's office.

Harry and Charlie stood side by side in the headmistress's office. Charlie was shaking with nerves so Harry grasped her hand with his and squeezed as if to say 'its all right'.

The headmistress came in, sat down at her desk, and looked seriously at Harry and Charlie.

Charlie's fear finally bubbled over and she started crying and yelling for Sirius (a/n she was crying Dad NOT Sirius so nobody suspected anything).

The headmistress decided that they wouldn't get far with a screaming and bawling four-year-old, so she asked the receptionist to call 'Mr Galaxy' (Sirius) at work.

Quarter of an hour later, Sirius running flat out appeared at the school. He bundled up a very annoyed Harry and a crying Charlie in their winter coats and led the way to their apartment.

"Were leaving." Sirius told Harry and Charlie after Harry had explained what happened to him.

"Why?" Harry asked

"Because you used magic! The Ministry can trace magic in the muggle world easily they could come and find us like that!" Sirius explained snapping his fingers.

"Lets go to Pranksters Palace till after Christmas then we'll move to another muggle area!" Sirius told Harry and Charlie, "go pack up your stuff we'll head back their right away!"

So, Gathering up their belongings Harry Charlie and Sirius made their way back to Pranksters Palace.
