CHAPTER 3- NEW DAY- THE UNEXPECTED SPELL

Like usual, the professor was sitting at his desk getting ready for the next day of classes. Minerva McGonnagal came on the intercom again.

"All teachers will teach your classes how to do the Protego spell today. I do not care if your class is 1st year or 7th."

So professor Severus Malfoy got ready to teach his class Protego.

As the students began to arrive, he wrote on the chalk board:

--------------------------

The Protego Spell

Use- To shield you from a spell sent by your opponent, and sends it back to the castor

--------------------------

"Ok Class, every teacher has been asked to teach this spell. Im not really sure why, but lets not repremand McGonangall. Would anyone like to come up here and try this spell?"

Nita, who had just set down her quill from writing what was on the board raised her hand.

"Ok Nita. Come up here. Im gonna use Locomotor Mortis on you. If the spell works right, you should see it reflect off you and hit me."

Nita got ready as the professor yelled, "Locomotor Mortis!!"

Nita, using her quick reflexes shouted, "Protego!!"

The light spell beam bounced off of Nita and rebounded on Severus. He fell to the floor, unable to move his legs.

"Finite Incantatem," Incanted Nita and the Professor rose to his feet.

"Well done! A perfect example of the spell. 5 Points to Ravenclaw!!"

"Now, everybody is probably wondering why we have to learn this spell. As you all may know, I wasn't here. I had to go to azkaban-"

Sophia interjected, "-PROFESSOR GOT SENT OT AZKABAN!! OH NO!"

"No Sophia. I didn't! Anyway, there was a problem at Azkaban and I had to take care of it. But some bad prisoners still knew spells, andwere going to use them on students of Hogwarts. That is why you all had to learn that spell, to protect yourselves. McGonnagal had to use Imperio because of bad spells. A prisoner tried to escape."

"But! This is not somethign you go spread around the school."

Sophia sat in the back smirking. "Well," she said, "Then dont tell us if you dont want us to tell." she stared at him maliciously.

"Sophia, Im warning you now. I will not tolerate that kind of talk. If you talk back to a teacher its detention for you."

She sulked for the rest of the class.

"Ok Class-"

The bell rang.

The class filed out of the room, muttering among themselves about what they had just heard. Nita stayed behind. "Its a good thing you didnt mention everything to them...." she said. "You know, about Harry."

" I really shouldn't be telling you this but, before class, McGonnagal put a Secret keeping spell on me. I was going to tell, but Harry was in the class. I would have been fired from Hogwarts if I said a word.

Severus turned to the board.

"Incovisio!" He said.

A big screen appeared on the board. Severus put his wand on his forehead and pulled out something that looked lke a chrome string. He put the string on the screen.

"I am putting my memories of the Azkaban trip on here."

"Thats not a bad idea, but why would she think so much of something that everyone knows?" she replied.

"I dont know, probably doesnt want people to think of him as being a victim, or to make fun of him...you know how SOME of the kids here are."

"Take a look at this screen. It will show you everything I saw at Azkaban." he said.

It showed the swirling passage to The Ministry. Then it showed Fudge and the enterence to Azkaban. She saw the twirling spell Severus used on the prisoners. She also saw McGonnagal as a fly doing the Obliviate spell.

Finally, she saw the three prisoners talking about Harry Potter.

"You see, something may be plotted against Harry Potter."said Severus

"Why cant they leave him alone? Why is he so important? You would think Voldemort would go for someone who poses more of a threat to him. Dont you think?"

"Well actually," said Severus, "that would seem most logical. But Voldemort wants Harry DEAD. After all, it was Harry who caused the Dark Ones downfall."

"Yes, i guess you are right. Isnt there anything anyone can do to help Harry?? Or to get rid of Voldemort? Anything at all?"

"Well yes and no. There is some way, but no one seems to be able to find it." he turned away, gazing out the window.

"I wish there was something i could do......" said Nita.

"Me to." said Severus.

After they finished talking, Nita went back to her common room. Severus went to his quarters and the castle was quiet for the rest of the night.

-----------------------------------

She stayed in bed, yet Nita was in deep thought about what had been said about Harry. She didnt know what to make of it or what she could do. She got out of bed.

She went to her bedside table and retrieved a roll of parchment and her quill. She dipped the tip in ink and began to write.

---------------------------------

When everyone awoke and had gone to breakfast, Nita slipped off to the Owlery. She got hold of Her owl Delia, and reread her letter to herself.

Dear Sirius,

I think you should tell Harry what you know about Voldemort. You cant keep it a secret much longer. You have toold me the truth, (or rather i found out for myself), so he deserves to know as well. Please hurry. Voldemort is Already plotting against him. All the Prisoners in Azkaban are talking about you.

Nita

Delia flew away and Nita went back to the Great Hall for breakfast.

Severus was sitting at the teachers table next to Dumbledore and McGonnagal. All of the sudden, Nita started shaking. Severus had tapped into her mind. He was using telepathy. He spoke to her with his telepathic ability.

"Nita, dont come over here. I am speaking with McGonnagal and Dumbledore about this problem at Azkaban. He wants me to go again to get more information. This time, it's different. Dumbledore wants me to take a student with me. I have chosen you. You must ask your parents first though."

She attempts to reply with the telepathy, but fails the first few times. Finally she gets it. Ok, ill send an owl after breakfast.

When everyone had left the Great Hall, She immediately head for the Owlery.

Dear Mother and Father,

My Professor has asked me to go with him to Azkaban on school duties. I need your permission to go. Please write back soon!

Luv, Nita

She went back to her Common Room. She was the only one there. A big green flame erupted in the fireplace. Something that looked like an arm stretched out and grabbed Nita and pulled her into the Fireplace. She landed in a fireplace in the Wandless Magic classroom. The professor poped right out after her.

"Okay, its time to go to Azkaban.", Professor Severus explained.

"But, me Mum and Dad havn't replied to my-"

"Dont worry, I spoke to them personally."

"Alright. Are we using a portkey? Or Floo Powder??"

"Dumbledore has prepared a portkey for us in his office. Follow me!"

He lead her out of the room and through the corridors. They reached Professor Dumbledore's office entrance.

"Fizzing Whizbee!" said Severus, reciting the password.

The gargoyle spun revealing a spiral staircase. They climbed up until the reached Professor Dumbledores door. He had heard them.

"Come in Severus!" said Dumbledore, and the walked in.

He was standing in the corner, holding a hat.

"Touch this portkey, it will take effect in 15 seconds."

Severus and Nita put their fingers on the hat. Dumbledore does also.

"Dumbledore, what are you doing! You cant go! You have to protect the-", Severus asked.

"I have this school heavily guarded by the most powerful spells and McGonnagal is going to hold my place while we are gone."

15 seconds go by and the swirling portal sucks all three of them in.

They appear in the doorway of Azkaban. They proceed to the back. Cornelius Fudge is waiting for them.

"Fudge, what do you need us to do now?", Dumbledore said.

"Well, a cell here at azkaban has 3 prisoners in it. They were right on the corner of a corridor. They escaped. I dont know how, but they did. I need you to find these prisoners and do what you wish with them. Dementors will be on guard everywhere including Hogwarts-"

"Hogwarts doesn't need any Dementors,"Interjected Dumbledore," I have it fully guarded. If Harry Potter sees them, he will know something is going to attack him."

Nita feels a tingling in her head. Severus is using telepathy again.

"Remember the three prisoners that were plotting the attack on Harry, they were around the corner of a corridor. There were exactly three!"

But, i thought you got rid of their memories??

I tried. Something must've gone wrong....

OR....... spoke a new voice. Someone Interferred.

"You may go back to your school, where you can figure out a way to find these prisoners.", Fudge Said.

They walked over to a fireplace and used floo powder to get back to their school.
