Chapter 26- Umbridge's office part 2
Umbridge opens the closet and Harry points his wand at her head. "Move back" Harry said angrily.
"Maybe you really are inhuman" Umbridge said.
"No your just a bad shot" Harry said as he took Alana's arm and led her out still keeping his wand at Umbridge's head.
"I haven't had as much experience chasing death as you have Potter" Umbridge snarled.
"You're a sick psychopath, you're as worse as a death eater," Alana said.
"Alana" Harry began to say.
"Better let him handle it, He is the boy who lived" Umbridge said.
"Shut up!" Harry yelled pointing his wand harder at her.
"Make me, use the crucio curse. It's clean' easy? Would it help if the model girlfriend left us alone" Umbridge said as Alana looked at Harry. "Well that's what's stopping you right? You don't want to expose Alana to the facts of life" Umbridge said.
"Someone is going to make you pay one of these days," Alana said looking at her in disgust.
"Not today. Harry doesn't want you to see him work" Umbridge said smiling. Harry moves back getting better aim at Umbridge.
"Are you sure I won't do this?" Harry said.
"Security! Open up!" the guard yelled as he banged on the door. Harry nudges Alana to open it, and takes Umbridge to hide into the bathroom.
"Hi is there a problem?" Alana said sweetly.
"Your not Ms. Umbridge". The guard growled.
"Yea, she's my grandmother. She's in the bathroom. Did we do something wrong?" Alana said innocently.
"Well we've had noise complaints. Someone heard a blast" The guard said.
"Oh, I knew wizard wireless was too loud we were hearing an old wizard movie that was being featured. She can't get enough of that, you know. I forced her to turn down the volume after the dueling scene. I'm sorry" Alana said.
"You know I don't remember. Ms. Umbridge ever mentioning anything about having a granddaughter " the guard said suspiciously.
"Well honestly we are not that close-"Alana began to say.
"Walt, is that you" Umbridge said walking in.
"Grandmother, this nice man was worried about-"Alana said.
"I know, I heard, we didn't mean to bother anyone. I'm sorry you had to come all the way up here" Umbridge said innocently.
"There is no problem, Ms. Umbridge. You two have a good day" Walt said as he closed the door.
Alana stands in front of the door so Umbridge can't escape. "Get out. Next time it'll be me that surprises you" Umbridge said coldly.
"Alana saved your life" Harry said as they left the office.
"She almost killed us" Alana said trying to retain what just happened.
"Not here come on" Harry said as he took out his portkey.
"Where is Harry?" Hermonine asked Ron.
"For the fifth time I can't tell you" Ron said as Harry and Alana appeared in the common room.
"Where have you two been" Hermonine said angrily.
"Umbridge's office" Alana said sitting down.
Hermonine's eyes widen. "I would of went with you guys" Hermonine exclaimed.
"I was planning on going alone in the first place, we ran into each other" Harry said looking at Alana.
"What did you find" Ron asked.
"I found a file on my brother and Harry" Alana said taking them out of her bag. Harry looked impressed as he looked at Hermonine.
"She came yesterday to spy on me and Alana under Fudge's orders" Harry said.
"I knew it" Ron said.
"We still don't know why, those files just state facts we already know" Alana said a little frustrated.
"Why you had all the time to look" Hermonine began to say.
"Umbridge came in" Harry simply replied.
"Bloody hell, how did you two get out of there" Ron said as Harry and Alana looked at each other.
"That's not important, Fudge and Umbridge are planning something who knows for what and why" Harry said as Alana looked at Hermonine.
"Maybe we should continue this discussion later" Hermonine said as a group of second years were leaving to go to dinner.
"We have a perfect meeting to go to "Ron said rolling his eyes.
"We'll see you at dinner" Hermonine said as her and Ron left.
Alana sighed and plopped down on the couch. "I'm not going to tell you what to do or how to live, but dealing with Umbridge isn't your job" Harry said
I know it wasn't but she was threatening Steven and then you" Alana said.
"I know, if only I had more time to look around I could of figure out what was going on" Harry said.
"That was my fault" Alana said.
"I didn't say that, it's not your fault. Umbridge could of came in at anytime" Harry said.
"But you had your cloak" Alana protested.
"I'm trying to make you feel better" Harry said as Alana laughed.
"What's next?" Alana asked.
"She's probably going to be at the photo shoot in Hogsmade over the next few weeks, I can use my cloak to keep a close eye on her" Harry said as Alana nodded. "It wasn't your fault that Umbridge caught us, you save us from being reported with that wizard wireless story" Harry said as Alana smiled.
"That was thinking on my feet" Alana said.
"It worked" Harry said as Alana got up.
"I'm starving" she said rubbing her stomach.
"You're always starving" Harry said.
"That is true" Alana said as she walked up to Harry and gave him a hug. "It was funny seeing Umbridge squirm" Alana said as Harry was still holding her. Harry nodded not wanting to let go.
Alana leaned on his shoulder as Harry put his arms tighter around her. Alana sighed as he did this as she wrapped her arms tighter around his neck.
"Alana!" Ginny yelled as Harry and Alana broke apart. "Madam Cleo has been looking all over for you, she's needs to do some fittings before the photo shoot at hogsmade in two weeks.
"I'm coming down" Alana said as she looked at Harry and left. Harry sighed and plopped down on the couch thinking about the events that occurred today. "A very chaotic day" Harry thought as he looked at his portkey. He looked near the window and remember that he was holding Alana a few moments ago. "That was the most peaceful part of the day" he thought as he started to fall asleep.
Chapter 27-Ella Deerr comes to Hogwarts
"Alana are you psyched about this photoshoot next week" Ginny said excitedly as dinner was about to start.
"Ehh, not really, I think because I do it every season," Alana said tiredly.
"Well I am, I can't believe Cleo wanted me to model in it, the money can really help my family" Ginny said looking down.
"Oh Ginny I'm sorry, if I'm not enthusiastic about this, it's just that Umbridge is going to be there and after what happened in her office I'm just on edge" Alana said as Harry walked up to them.
"Don't be" Harry said concerned.
Alana sighed and said angrily "I just feel like I'm constantly watching my back from her and". She looked over at the Slytherin table. "I'm not very hungry" Alana added as she walked away slightly pushing Harry out of the way.
Harry sighed and sat down. "You're not going after her" Ginny said surprised.
"Why? She seems angry" Harry answered.
"She's just stressed and tired, it's written all over your face" Ginny simply said,
"What is?" Harry said as he started to eat.
"It is obvious that the both of you have feelings for each other. You should ask her out" Ginny said happily.
"What gives you that idea?" Harry said.
"Why do you go to the dance club practices? I go because my boyfriend is in it, you on the other hand" Ginny began to say.
"Don't" Harry interrupted.
"When I had a crush on you, I went to all your practices and games" Ginny said trying to reason.
"I had a hard time trying to hide my feelings for Dean, so I know the signs, the long stares, going to the other's activities" Ginny said.
"This talk is over" Harry said grabbing his school bag.
Alana was in the common room starting her potions HW, she was so focused she didn't hear Harry walking in.
"Hermonine, can I see your notes for potions, I'm doing his homework tonight" Alana said as she looked up and saw Harry.
"Can we talk" Harry said.
"Sure" Alana said offering a seat. "I didn't mean to snap at you earlier, it's just that. How can you be so calm when a sociopath is planning something for us, there's a house of future death eater's we sit next to everyday, and their leader could possibly be one to. Harry how can you do it" Alana said feeling more frustrated.
"I don't know" Harry said calmly looking at the fireplace.
"I am angry I think about everything you said everyday, I think about Dumbledore not telling me earlier about the prophecy, I think about maybe if I didn't have the desire to be hero to Sirius maybe he will still be alive today" Harry said clenching his fist. Alana took a deep breath noticing this and said, "I'm sorry".
"Don't be you're just saying how you felt, I just keep most of it in," Harry said.
"Not all of it, you just opened up to me," Alana said starting to feel touched that Harry could confide in her.
"I did, didn't I" Harry said. "I admire you Alana, it's easy for you to say what you think, and not a lot of girls are like that here. The only one I knew who was like that before was Hermonine." Harry said.
"Not Cho" Alana asked.
"No, your nothing like her" Harry said.
"Whoa is that good or bad," Alana said knowing the answer.
"Good" Harry said as Alana walked closer to him. "A very good thing" he thought.
Alana walked closer to him as brush the hair away from his face, which revealed part of his scar.
She covered it up and touched the right side of his face and kissed him softly on the lips. As she broke the kiss, Alana looked up at Harry who was holding her right hand. Harry noticed that she was blushing, as he looked at her face, Alana licked her lips.
"Those lips" Harry thought as he cupped the sides of Alana's face and kissed her passionately.
As Harry broke the kiss, Alana let out a soft moan as she kissed him jamming her fingers into his hair.
Alana broke the kiss and looked at Harry as their noses touched. They started giving each other small slow kisses.
"Alana Deerr please come to the headmaster's office Alana Deerr," The loudspeaker said as Harry and Alana kissed.
"Whoa" Alana said as she moved back from Harry as he caught his breath.
"Maybe you should get going" Harry said.
Alana looked at him and touched her lips realizing what had happened. "Your right" Alana said and left.
"Ahh, Potter you have to fight it" Harry said as he slammed his fist on the table.
"Harry what's going on? Alana left here looking sort of confused" Ron said as he walked into the common room.
Harry looked up at him not realizing that his face was flushed. Ron looked back at the door and then at Harry and laughed.
"What?" Harry said.
Ron sat down next to him and said "Where you two snogging?" Harry looked at him.
"How did you tell?" he asked.
"Well she rushed out looking very flustered and you looked flustered" Ron said laughing as Harry threw a pillow at him.
"I knew you guys would do it again," Ron said.
"Wait, you saw us kissing that night here?" Harry said furious.
"Yea why are you guys not dating?" Ron asked.
"No, she doesn't need me. I already got her involved with this Umbridge business. That's all she need's a boyfriend who doesn't know if he's going to live or die" Harry said.
"Don't say that man" Ron began to say.
"It's true Ron" Harry said.
"Well she was already involved with Umbridge because of her brother. Hermonine and I see you when you're with Alana your happy" Ron said.
"She's like an addiction, a potion that I keep drinking. I have to fight it" Harry said.
"Professor Dumbledore" Alana said walking into his office.
"Alana, I wanted to talk to you about the photo shoot next weekend. There's been a slight change in plan, Cleo has talked to a close friend of hers who wants to use the photo shoot as a fundraiser activity for the victims of death eater's" Dumbledore said.
"Who?" Alana asked, as an elderly woman appeared walking with a staff. "Grandmother" Alana screamed as she ran over to her.
"Hello my dear" Ella Deerr said hugging Alana.
"What are you doing here?" Alana said surprised.
"I missed you my dear and I ran into Cleo a few weeks ago and she reminded me about the new robes. She has been pressing me for weeks to use the opportunity to proposed my new fund to help those victims" Ella said.
"What are you planning to do?" Alana asked.
"Hold a festival in Hogsmade next Saturday, you'll work it getting donations and you'll be wearing Cleo's robes while you do it. There will be picture's taken as well. Umbridge was pleased with the idea," Ella said.
"Wait Grandmother, you mean Delores Umbridge?" Alana said.
"Yes we met a few months ago made a generous donation to the Deerr fund" Ella said.
"Oh I see" Alana said realizing that her grandmother didn't know what Umbridge was capable of. Alana looked at Dumbledore who didn't seem suspicious.
"Well you know I'll do anything for you, is there anything else you would like me to do?" Alana asked.
"Well now that you mentioned it, Albus as told me that you formed a dance club here, the choir is going to do a little performance would the club be interested? I'll provide any costumes and such you need." Ella said.
"Yes, grandmother of course" Alana said realizing how much she missed her grandmother.
"Mrs. Deerr, you really need your rest," a man said.
"Reginald" Alana exclaimed as she hugged him.
"Hello, Alana" the butler said.
"Well my dear I will talk with you tomorrow, I have permission to take you out to dinner. See you then" Ella said as Reginald helped her out.
"Wait Alana, this mail arrived for you" Reginald said before they left.
"Thank you, why is there no return address on this," she thought as she walked up to Gryffindor tower.
Alana walked back into the common and looked near the fireplace. "Whoa" she thought as she remembered what her and Harry were doing a few hours ago. She took a letter opener and opened the first letter.
"The good die young" Alana read as she dropped it. She grabbed the second letter
"Pretty girls shouldn't say nasty things. We're watching you" the letter was attached with a picture of her last year in Salem school.
She threw it down on the table and opened the third letter "The perfect girl, the perfect death" Alana slammed her fist into the wall wondering who would send these letter's to her.
