Chapter 53-A death in the family

"Lynn when is your grandmother coming" Padma asked.

"I think she's already in London Aaron should be here to pick me and Alana up. I'll ask her about the internships some of the charities she's in. I know for a fact she would want you to intern for the summer," Lynn said as they walked into Charms, on Monday February 23.

"That potion is almost ready" Hermonine whispered to Alana in defense class.

"Thanks again for doing this, I know the high alert status in Hogwarts made it hard to get your ingredients" Alana whispered back.

"Well give it another two days and we will know where you're from. I'm going to try it too." Hermonine said.

"Lynn wants to also," Alana said.

"We'll do it Saturday night at Myrtle's bathroom" Hermonine said as Lupin looked over at them.

"Ms. Kurth get your things" Professor McGonagall said. It looked like she was crying.

"Why" Lynn asked she noticed her uncle and great-grandfather in the hallway. "Aaron's early"

"Aaron what's wrong?" Lynn asked noticing her sixteen-year old uncle wiping a tear from his eye.

"It's grandmother" Aaron said.

"Professor Lupin can I have a word please" McGonagall said entering the defense room. Professor Little followed behind her.

Lupin walked outside, the students notice his facial expression changed. He looked over at Alana.

Alana heard a girl sobbing; she turned around and saw Lynn outside crying on Aaron's shoulder. "Lynn" Alana said getting her things. Harry watched his girlfriend leave the classroom.

"It's not true!" Lynn yelled

"What happened" Alana asked.

"Grandmother she died in her sleep last night" Aaron said.

"No she didn't" Alana said as tears came down her face.

"She's gone sweetheart," John finally said. Alana shook her head wiping her tears.

"No! No! No!" Alana said feeling like someone taking her heart out of her chest. Lynn looked over at her cousin as they sobbed in each other's arms.

"We're taking them to London, the family is going to regroup there" Aaron said. Lupin noticed John looking into space.

"I'm sorry for your loss" LUpin said watching Alana and Lynn.

Harry walked outside, Alana ran over to him. "She's gone," Alana said.

Harry looked at Aaron. "Grandmother died in her sleep last night"

"How many times are you going to say that!" Lynn yelled as John comforted his great-granddaughter.

"Does Steven know" Alana asked.

Aaron and John just looked at her. "He has a right to know" Alana said angrily.

"He decided his path a long time ago" John said.

"Your hopeless" Lynn said angrily walking over to her cousin.

"Grandfather is right" Aaron said.

"You can't be serious, when has the family regroup as you call it? Come together? We finally are and all it had to take was my great grandmother's death. I'm looking for Steven" Lynn said walking away.

"You're not going anywhere" John said.

"Like hell we are" Alana said wiping her tears, walking towards Lynn.

"Ladies, the both of you are grieving" McGonagall said.

"No where just trying to do the right thing" Alana said coldly.

"Alana that's quite enough" Lupin said.

"Since when are you my father" Alana said angrily as she noticed Lynn taking out her wand.

Harry took a deep breath as he noticed Lupin twitch the left side of his face.

"If the both of you want it this way, we'll take you by force" John said angrily. Alana noticed the Deerr security walking towards them.

"That's not necessary" Harry said.

"Mr.Deerr it really isn't" Lupin and McGonagall said.

"Tommy" Aaron yelled as a one man grabbed Alana from behind. Alana kicked the man's leg and pushed him to the floor.

"Whoa" A few students said that were walking in the hallway.

Lynn pointed her wand at two of the Deerr's security causing their legs to wobble uncontrollably. Alana took out her wand and grabbed a change from one of the statues next to her. She pointed her wand at the candle causing a smoke to form.

"Come on" Lynn yelled grabbing Alana's arm as they ran downstairs.

"Where are you two going" Filch said running after them. Lynn opened her bag and took out a few marbles. She threw the marbles on the floor. Filch and a few security guards fell causing students to laugh.

Alana turned around and saw her grandfather, cousin, McGonagall, Lupin and Harry running after them.

"Alana just wait there has to be another solution" Lupin said. Alana was about to stop.

"It's a trick, let's go" Lynn said as Alana nodded, she pointed her wand at the floor causing the floor to become slippery.

John, Aaron, and McGonagall fell but Lupin and Harry missed the spell in time.

"Impedimenta!" Lupin said pointing his wand at Alana'

"Duck" Alana yelled to her cousin.

A Deer security guard tired to grab Alana from behind. She turned around and kicked him in the groin.

The girls took off their robes as they walked outside. "Accio motorcycle" Alana yelled. She noticed Seamus and Dean looking out the window.

Students were looking out of their classroom windows watching Alana and Lynn's escape. A loud crash came from the fields. The motorcycle given to her by Paul Crane hurled along to the front of the castle.

"Grandfather you pushed us too far, we're going to find Steven and tell him, he's part of this family whether you like it or not" Alana said as got on the motorcycle. "Things have to change, we're not babies," she said strongly.

She looked at Harry and gave him a soft wave.

"Better luck next time" Lynn said climbing behind.

"Stop them, I'm paying all of you!" John yelled. Alana kicked off from the floor shooting twenty feet into the air speeding out of Hogwarts.

"Things do have to change" A third year said angrily who was standing next to Harry.

Harry grinned at the look on John's face watching his granddaughters fly away.
