Thanks,
imadork32489, for your review! No, Harry and Jen are not twins, for Jen is of
Asian descent. So why the similarities, you ask? You shall soon find out in
further chapters! *Grins devilishly* Please, keep reviewing!

Chapter
6
On this cool summer night during the last week in August, the conditions were
perfect for flying. Although it was around 8:30 in the evening, it was still
light out, the sun enduring longer during these days. Arthur, Molly, Fred,
George, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione were standing by the house as Harry and Jen
walked a little further into a wide-open field.
"All right, Potter..." Jen said in a quiet voice. "I'll place
the snitch on the ground, and we turn around. Then, we'll count to five. Once
we reach five, mount off the ground on your broom, and whoever gets the snitch
first, wins..."
"You got it..." Harry said, smiling.
"All right, then." Jen said. Looking for a final time at Harry's
intent green eyes, she slowly placed the snitch on the ground. She never moved
her eyes off Harry once. Then, smiling, she whipped around as Harry did the
same.
"Wow, she's beautiful..." Harry thought to himself. He
couldn't believe this was happening. He must've been the luckiest wizard in the
world. Harry knew he was quiet and shy, no doubt about. He was always nervous
around Cho, her being popular and outspoken and all. But it seemed things were
taking a turn, as Jen was the gentle one now.
"One..." Jen started the count.
"Come on, Harry! You can do it, mate!" The two standing against each
other heard Ron scream.
"Two..."
"You can get it first, Jen! I know you can!" Hermione said, defending
her. Ron looked at her in disbelief as all Hermione did was sneer at him.
"Three..."
"Come on, Harry! Let's see what you're made of!" Ginny was heard,
cheering. Harry started to take deep breaths. He was actually getting nervous!
Him? Nervous as Seeker? Never!
"Four..."
"Let's go, Jen! Yeah, come on now!" Fred and George were heard,
cheering the pretty little girl on.
"Five!"
At that moment, Harry and Jen both bent their knees, and flew off the ground.
Soaring high into the air, they both kept a look out for the slightest sight of
fluttering, golden wings. Jen flew higher than Harry, keeping her eyes peeled.
Harry began to circle around, looking intently for the golden snitch.
Jen looked by the house, scanning every inch. Nothing. She had to be the first
to catch the snitch! She had to! If she beat the 'famous' Potter, she'd have
two things: hold the memory over his head forever and be able to talk to him
about something. That's all the Jen wanted to do...talk to Harry. She couldn't
help but think that maybe she was starting to develop feelings for the
boy. His deep, green eyes...his black, ruffled hair...his cute smile...could
she?
Harry began to search high and low. He started to ride over the trees, looking
through the leaves and branches. He had to catch this snitch. He had to!
Everyone knew Harry was an amazing Seeker. Even Harry admitted that he was
pretty decent. But Harry knew that no matter what, this little match that was occurring
was only doing the one thing he wanted: bringing Jen and him closer.
That's when Jen saw it...the golden snitch! Harry was right below her, looking
in the opposite direction. The snitch started to flutter behind Harry and then
took off away from him. Jen dove her broom straight down. It seemed to the
others watching that Jen was going to hit him! But she pulled up before she had
a chance to touch him, and soared off after the snitch. Harry, turning around
and seeing the fluttering wings that had been behind him only moments before
now start to grow farther and farther away, took after the snitch.
Harry, cursing himself inside his head for not seeing the snitch, began to
catch up to Jen. Now, it was neck and neck. The snitch was just within each of
their grasps. Screams and cries from the others were being heard as they both
extended their hands to grab it.
Jen started to fly a little farther than Harry, the snitch barely grazing her
fingertips. The snitch moved to the left, right in front of Harry's hand! Harry
started to move forward, getting a little further than Jen, the snitch almost
in his palm.
The snitch moved back to the right, in front of Jen's path. Harry, Jen, Harry,
Jen...the snitch moved back and forth into the opposite person's path whenever
they got a little farther than the other.
"Harry, Jen, look out!" Hermione bellowed. Harry and Jen, for the
first time taking their attention off the snitch, pulled up immediately from
almost smacking straight into a forest of trees. Jen started to soar up,
touching the bark of a tree with her sneakers. Harry was right next to her,
doing the same.
As they shot up from above the tree line, they saw the golden snitch pop up
from the leaves of a tree centered in the middle of the forest. Harry and Jen
both dived for it, growing closer and closer to the trees. They were three
seconds from getting the snitch, which was deciding where to fly off next.
Two seconds...Harry looked at the corner of his eye, and smiled, seeing the
determination on Jen's face. Jen turned her face toward Harry and winked,
whipping her head back and focusing again on the snitch. One second...
That's when Harry saw a dark shadow start to follow them. A blood-curling
scream was heard as the light started to evaporate from the sky. Harry and Jen
both stopped and turned around. They saw a huge, black, rolling cloud start to
move over the Weasley's house. Leading the darkness was no other than two Dementors.
"Oh my..." Jen said, breathing in a sharp in-take of air.
"Harry! Dementors!" Hermione was heard, screaming.
"The house! Get in the house!" Molly said, ushering Fred, George, and
Ginny in.
"No, mum! They've come for Harry!" Ron said, pointing. Sure enough,
the cloud of darkness continued to roll over, shielding half of the house from
daylight. The Dementors started to fly faster, toward Jen and Harry.
"Harry! GET OUT OF THERE!" Arthur screamed. Harry's mind began to
fill with thoughts of what happened only a few months ago at the Ministry of
Magic. Him and his friends against the Death Eaters...the Order bursting in to
protect them...Bellatrix LeStrange killing Sirius...Voldemort...Lord Voldemort
coming to the Ministry and trying to kill Harry...Dumbledore protecting him...
Harry's eyes shot open as he realized...Voldemort wanted to kill me back
then...he failed...and now he's come to do it again!
"Go! GO!" Harry screamed, turning away from the Dementors. Both him
and Jen started to soar, the Dementors close behind them. Harry and Jen flew as
fast as they could, the Dementors' cold presence breathing down their necks.
Harry's mind started to picture horrible images...sadness fell upon him...
"Happy thoughts, Jen! Think them!" Harry screamed. Harry looked to
Jen in alarmingly as he saw her start to drift away, thinking she would never
feel happy again.
Harry flew closer to Jen and bumped into her. She snapped her head awake. She
had to fight them, she had to.
"Split up!" Harry screamed. Harry knew that if they went separate
ways, the Dementors would surely follow him. This would allow Jen to go back to
the house, where she would be well protected. Although Harry would be the only
one flying out there once she did get in her safe haven, he didn't care...he
wanted Jen to be safe...he NEEDED her to be safe...
Harry turned right as Jen steered her broom to the left. Harry saw as both
Dementors turned after him; saw Jen fly back toward the house.
You wanna kill me? Harry thought to himself. You're both gonna have a
bloody hell of a hard time doing it...
However, to Harry's surprise and horror, the two Dementors steered away from
Harry and began to cut Jen off from getting to the house. As Jen saw one of the
Dementors block her path in the front of her, she turned her broom the other
way. As she flew away from the first Dementor, she stopped short to see the
other Dementor fly toward her from the other way.
Jen turned her broom up and shot toward the sky. The Dementors followed her,
one next to the other, as she shot back toward the forest. With Harry watching
every move and the others in the house watching the scene as well, they saw in
horror as the two Dementors began to fly on either side of her. Then, they
sandwiched her and grabbed onto her clothes. Jen let out a blood-curling scream
as she fell off her broom, and into the arms of the two Dementors. Then, Harry
saw as all three started to fall downward, and crash into the forest of trees.
"JEN!!!" Harry screamed, darting after her and flying toward the spot
where her and the two Dementors crashed, wand in his hand at the ready...
