LOOKIE CHAPTER FIFTEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm entering a new character into this chapter!!!! And, the character is not the same age as them; most definitely not fifteen. Arizosa, I hope the chocolate ice cream made you feel better!!! I might not update very regularly, b/c high school is a big pain right now!!! (I hate gym, and honors geometry. Most definitely my least favorite classes!!!!!!!).
The scream that echoed through the still night caused the birds that were roosting in a nearby tree to take flight, shrieking their dismay loudly. The scream was ended suddenly, and Harry knew that the person who had once owned the voice was most likely dead. "Let's go, Meggie." Harry didn't even bother to use her fake name. Meggie just nodded and pulled out her wand. With a wave she was back to normal (A/N: for her at least…sorry, had to comment), her brownish hair was back in its usual plait, and her dress was messy once again. "We'll be back," said Harry to Krum and Lynch. "Just, please stay here?" Meggie and Harry disapparated before either Quidditch player could respond.
It was havoc. Tents were burning, and if Harry hadn't known better he would have though that the bright campsite was Hell itself. There was more than once scream piercing the chilly air no, and the area smelled of death. From what Harry could see there had to be over fifty Death Eaters, who most obviously had the upper hand in the scuffle. Harry saw Snape and Arthur Weasley a little ways off. By the look of it Snape had abandoned his wand and was using his fists.
Harry's
attention was drawn away from his professor by a small wail. There was a little redheaded girl, who could
be no more than three. She was sitting
by her parent's dead bodies, crying.
Harry stepped away from Meggie and ran to the little girl. He bent down by the small girl and held out
his arms, offering a hug silently. She
crawled into them and buried her face in his shirt. He stood, holding her, turning to find Meggie beside him. He shifted the girl slightly and got a
better grip on her. "We can't fight
them on their terms," said Meggie suddenly.
"They're too good at it."
All of a sudden Harry's eyes
got an evil gleam. "They want us to
fight on their terms…then we just won't fight on their terms." Before Meggie could ask what he was going to
do the Death Eaters distracted her.
They were now marshmallow men (Mr. Puft from Ghostbusters!!!!!). All of them were holding a fellow
marshmallow's sticky hand, skipping, and singing 'We're off to see the
wizard…' The screams stopped, and were
replaced by bursts of laughter.
"Thanks, Harry!" yelled Sirius.
"You've got roughly two minutes, I can't guarantee that it will hold much longer than that!" Two minutes later the spell had worn off, and the rest of the free Death Eaters disapparated quickly. "How many did we get?" asked Harry.
"About twenty!" called Bill. "Three casualties for them, and about fifteen innocents for us."
"Thanks, Bill. Hey, guys, if you don't need us Meggie and I are going back to our tent. Anyway, this one's tired." He shifted the girl slightly. Charlie waved them away, and he and Meggie apparated back with the girl. Harry carried the child, and Meggie walked beside him slowly. The toddler was curled up against Harry's shoulder, and was sucking her thumb. "What's your name?" asked Harry.
"Kawa."
"Kara? That's a pretty name," said Meggie. "My name's Meggie, but you can call me Meg, or Megs. He's Harry. How old are you?"
"Two."
"Do you know when your birthday is?"
"Mowwo."
"Tomorrow," said Harry, "Wow, you're going to be three, that's big. You want to stay with us?" Kara nodded. "Hey, what's that behind your ear?" Harry reached behind her ear and pulled out a fuzzy brown teddy bear. "Here you go, I got it for you." She grasped the bear and smiled.
"Me name you Snowy." (A/N: note, the bear is brown. It's just like a kid to name it something like that…). Kara yawned loudly and pillowed her head on Harry. She stuck her thumb back into her mouth and closed her eyes, holding tight to 'Snowy' with her free hand. She was asleep before they reached the tent.
As soon as they reached the tent, Krum and Lynch met them. "Explain, now." So, Harry and Meggie embarked on the long process of explaining that she wasn't Maggie, but Meggie, and about the mission and what had just happened.
"So, we have to go back tomorrow to Hogwarts," wrapped up Harry. His face split into a grin. "Do you two want to come?"
"You bet!!!!!"
All of a sudden Kara began to whimper in her sleep. Harry pulled the girl a little closer, and whispered into her hair. She stopped whimpering, and her thumb left her mouth to anchor on Harry's shirt.
"Hey, come on, let's go!!!!!!" yelled Lynch.
"Huh?"
"It's too early."
"I varned vou that they vould vant to sleep in."
"And miss the chance to scare the students silly with all four of us bursting into breakfast?!!!"
"Mmmhmm," said Meggie from under her pillow, which she had inserted over her head.
"Oh," Lynch sounded severely disappointed.
"But now that I'm up, I see no reason we shouldn't," said Harry. He got up, leaving Kara in bed, and walked over to Meggie's bed. He tipped it.
"HEY!!!!!!!!! YOU GET YOUR BLOODY BUTT OVER HERE SO I CAN KICK IT INTO NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"She's awake now."
"No, really?"
"POTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE DEAD MEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"I'd say so."
"I vould agree."
"Yep…look at Harry run."
"Very fast."
"He's heading our way…RUN!!!!!"
Soon all four were running around the tent, until Meggie collapsed panting on the floor. Kara meanwhile had watched, and decided to add in her two cents. "Silly." This one word caused the four to dissolve into laughter.
"Hey, we better go," said Lynch from the floor.
Sorry it's so short, but I have Honors Geometry homework calling me…and Honors English, and Biology, and Health, and French…R/R!!!!!
