Chapter 51-Ambush on Hogsmade Part 2
"The Verici are here" Lance yelled as Lynn and Ioan spotted him. They also spotted a brown tall hairy monster chasing him. A few men standing next to him started to run. Lynn was about to follow until she saw the creature grab Lance's jacket.
Lynn holding her bow and arrow fired at the creature hitting its right shoulder. The creature shrieked. Ioan looked at her and fired at the creature's foot causing Lance to break free.
"Come on" Lynn yelled as they heard a few Verici coming their way.
"What's going on" Harry said as him and Alana ran into Ron and Hermonine.
"The Verici are make their way into Hogsmade, they were spotted near the forest" Hermonine said taking her wand out.
"Lynn was there last time I left her" Alana exclaimed trying to run over there.
"Ms. Deerr" Lupin yelled.
"My cousin could be hurt" Alana yelled trying to break free of Harry and Lupin.
Lynn, Lance, and Ioan ran toward the group. Lynn and Ioan were firing arrows as they ran.
"Thank goodness" Lynn said hugging her cousin.
"They're heading this way" Ioan said as the group heard a woman scream. The woman close to Alana's direction was running towards the group but her ankle was grabbed.
Alana took out her sword and ran over to the woman. She stabbed the creature's hand causing the woman's ankle to break free. Alana pushed the woman out of the way as the creature walked towards her holding his own sword.
"Alana" Harry yelled as Verici entered Hogsmade.
"Expecto Inspiro" Hermonine yelled as a blast of light knocked a few into the air.
"Accio" Harry yelled as a pitchfork came into his hand and he killed a Veric with it. He tried to look for Alana.
Alana took a swing from her sword. The creature pushed her down pointing his sword at her. She turned around and got back on her feet. The Veric took a swing, which Alana blocked with her own sword. She brought the veric's sword down and used her sword to cut its head off.
Alana catching her breath looked at the blood on the sword. She turned around and saw three verici coming her way.
"Alana" Lynn yelled grabbing her snowboard.
Alana took the dead veric's sword and threw it killing one of the three veric's. She struggled to take out her wand as she fell to the ground. One veric grabbed her hair putting his sword to her neck. She screamed and threw him over her with her right arm. She took her sword and slashed him. Alana's eyes widened as she saw three more verics walking towards her.
Lynn noticing a hill grabs her snowboard and slides down the hill with it on to Alana and the verici's. She shoots arrows as she goes. At the bottom she directs the shield onto a veric's chest and begins attacking more verici's now with the use of her wand.
"There they are" Hermonine exclaimed pointing at Alana and Lynn fighting back to back.
The group which include most of the students in Hogwarts joined Alana and Lynn killing every veric that entered Hogsmade.
Chapter 52-Occlumency Lessons
It was a few days after the ambush in Hogsmade, Hogwarts has been put on high alert and trips to Hogsmade are only one weekend out of the month.
"Can you show me how to do that?" Colin Creevely asked Lynn walking into the great hall"
"No for the fifth time" Lynn said sitting next to Michael at the Ravenclaw table.
Alana grinned and looked at Harry. "You have Occlumency lessons tonight?" she asked."Yes" Harry said miserably looking over at Snape.
"I'm surprised he didn't go to Dumbledore about well what he saw" Alana said.
"I know" Harry said getting up. "I'll see in the common room" he gave her a kiss goodbye.
"Why didn't Snape go to Dumbledore or even McGonagall" Harry thought walking into Snape's office.
"Your right on time Potter" Snape said as Harry entered the room. Harry put his book bag on one of the desk. "Have you been practicing?"
"Yes I have" Harry said.
"I would think so," Snape said referring to the incidents in Hogsmade and in the Great Hall. "Wand out" he said walking towards a desk. The faced each other with the desk between them.
"That son of a" Harry began to say.
"Legilimens!" Snape yelled.
Harry was too late; the image of Snape's office had vanished. He felt images racing in his mind. He felt as if he was looking into a picture book.
He was 13, watching Aunt Marge inflating in the Dursley's living room, his heart was filled with anger and joy...He was 14 watching Cedric Diggory get hit with the killing curse...Last year in Diagon Alley bumping into Alana laughing... Alana pulling him closer as they made love.
No, a voice said in Harry's head, as the memory of Alana drew closer. "NO!" the voice said louder bringing Harry back to the present time.
Harry looked up at Snape who happen to have been hit across the room. Harry realized that he didn't use his wand.
"Very good Potter" Snape said getting up. He saw Harry's face turning red with anger.
"You saw everything that I saw!" Harry said angrily.
"Potter you know I only saw flashes of it" Snape said coolly. "Including your tryst with Deerr"
"That's private" Harry began to say.
"It can also get you expelled, but if I were to tell Dumbledore, he would have to expel the entire sixth and seventh year class. And personally I really don't care" Snape said. Harry threw him a dirty look. "Potter I don't want this to be a repeat of last year"
"Neither do I" Harry interrupted.
"You are better at this than last year, you didn't use your wand to stop me today and in the great hall. You do need to let go of that anger," Snape said.
"How can I with you in the room" Harry thought.
"Clear your mind Potter, let go of all emotion, all thoughts" Snape said coldly.
Harry felt his anger for Snape leave his veins; he felt nothing in his mind.
"Legilimens!" Snape yelled. The spell bounced back at Harry and broke one of the windows. "Very good Potter, I guess this isn't like last year"
"I making sure of that" Harry said as they looked at one another.
"Let's continue Potter" Snape said. "You probably want to go back to Deerr in the common room," he said with a smirk on his face.
Harry narrowed his eyes as they continued the lesson.
