Hey all its me again! Here is another chapter for your viewing pleasure.
Hehe.
Chapter 24
It was 11:30 a.m. before the group was finally done with the decorations for the Great Hall. They still had to get the food, chairs, and a few other things done before they were ready for the dance but they still had time to eat a big lunch and marvel at their handy work. The Great Hall's walls were now covered with the same illusion spell as the ceiling making it look as if it outside instead of in the middle of a castle. There were picnic tables and a snack table along the right wall. They were covered with jack- o-lanterns and cauldrons full of candy and some fireworks, courtesy of Fred and George. There were white lights stringed up all over the hall and some levitated jack-o-lanterns burning bright in the air. The DJ's equipment and the stage were set up along the front of the Hall. They had just sat down to eat when Agnes came running in looking quite winded.
"Whoa, Agnes, slow down. What's the rush?" Katie asked the leader. "I need to talk to all of the Elementals outside now!" The group exchanged a worried glance, if Agnes couldn't say it in front of the six students sitting with them, it was surely not a good thing. They all stood and made for the doors. Harry was abruptly stopped in his tracks when Ginny grabbed his sleeve. "Harry what's wrong?" she asked with worry on her face. "I don't know, but it is probably something bad. Don't worry I will see you tonight at the dance, OK?" he said, offering a smile of reassurance. "OK, but be careful you haven't been back for long and I was hoping you would stay a while." He smiled again and shut the doors as he left.
The small group of six sat waiting for fifteen minutes before the doors opened again revealing Agnes. "Before you ask any questions, the Elementals have gone on a mission and won't be back till later tonight. And no, I will not tell you what it is they're doing but I will tell you that they are perfectly safe," she said as she looked at the crestfallen group. "Oh, enough of those sad faces. They will be back before you know it. For now, let's get started on the rest of the decorations." The six started on the decorations half-heartedly, still worried about their missing friends.
Grand Canyon City, USA
The Elementals arrived at Grand Canyon City at midnight. They had traveled by porting, a method of transportation that they came up with themselves. It allowed them to travel great distances without getting their powers drained. They were currently sitting in the house of a man named Jeff Carlton, who was the captain of the G.C.C. forces who protected Grand Canyon City. The city was located in a very isolated part of the Grand Canyon, the wizards made houses in the side of the canyon and made bridges across the canyon to connect the two sides of the city. The city itself had dozens of illusion and muggle repelling charms on it.
The reason the Elementals were there was simple. The city was going to be attacked in half an hour by Death Eaters and Shadows. Shadows were followers of the Dark Lord, Daemon, who was currently terrorizing the Americans. They had received a warning from the spys they had in the two groups and immediately responded. The group was lying low in the captain's house while watching the city for signals from the other members of the G.C.C. force. The city had already been evacuated by taking boats down the river so they did not draw attention to themselves and cause an earlier attack than planned. The group was hoping to stall for time so civilians could escape without injury.
At 12:30 am, they received the first signal. Two candles were lit in the capital building meaning that the Death Eaters and Shadows were moving, one half by broom and the other half on foot. Five minutes later, the first shot was fired by the invading group before all hell broke loose. "Time to go," Chase said as he ran out the door along with the rest of the group.
Blade was currently battling with a group of ten Death Eaters. They were throwing curses, hexes, and other spells at him to no avail due to powerful shield spell he had put up. "Well, this is fun but it's time to end it." He raised his hand. "Freeze!" The ten Death Eaters were covered in a layer of ice in no less than ten seconds. Blade looked at his handy work. "Not bad." He knocked on the surface of the ice and grinned as he returned to the battle to look for Voldemort or Daemon.
Harry looked around him as he was fighting his way through the numerous Death Eaters and Shadows in his way. "Freeze!" He froze a group of Shadows surrounding a G.C.C. and moved on. He threw elements at the Death Eaters and Shadows surrounding him and helped out other members of the G.C.C. force. He was scanning the area for any sign of Voldemort or Daemon but after long searching, he still found nothing. 'They must have stayed behind with the rest of their forces. They must be up to something but what?' he thought as he shot a curse at the Shadow that he was fighting rendering them unconscious. 'They must be planning to do something big considering that they are not here.' He shot hexes at some more Death Eaters.
After half an hour more of searching, Blade and Harry met up again. They were now surrounded by a rather large group of enemies and fought back to back in order to cover each other. "Harry, did you find anything?" "No, how 'bout you?" "Same here, they must be up to something if they didn't show up. Though, I don't think they are going to attack because the reason they attacked Grand Canyon City was to get control of the West Coast of the U.S." "Well, it doesn't seem to have worked very well now has it. How 'bout we end this right now?" "I'm with you on that one." The two teens called on their powers, they started to glow white with flashes of silver energy. They put their hands together, "COMATOSIS!" There was a flash and all of the surrounding Death Eaters and Shadows within a mile radius were thrown into a coma.
Harry and Blade looked around. " That was pretty good, wouldn't you say?" Blade asked, lightly tapping a comatose Death Eater with his foot. "Yeah, I would. But we have to go now or we will be late for the dance." The Elementals meet up at the captain's house again. "I can't thank you enough for all that you have done," Jeff said while shaking hands with Annie. "Oh it was nothing you are part of the Order after all." They waved goodbye to the captain and ported to the gates at Hogwarts.
"Lauren, what time is it?" Chase asked as they looked at the darkened sky. "Um, wait a minute. It is 7:30 p.m. We are half an hour late," she said as she looked at her watch. "Which means we are fashionably late," Kylie said with a smile on her face. "Are you two ok? That last attack must have taken quite a bit of energy from you," she asked as she spotted Blade and Harry. "We will be fine, just don't wake us up at the crack of dawn tomorrow or you'll be very sorry." The group laughed as they made their way up to the castle.
Sorry if the time zones aren't the correct but I didn't have time to look them up because i'm leaving tomorrow for a camping trip and i wanted to get the story up.
Hope you all liked this chapter it is long. Hope you all have a great 4th of July with lots of fireworks. Hehe...
