Chapter 59-Sensational Seventeen

"Hey you" Alana said sitting in their cabin.

"Hey" Harry said tiredly rubbing his scar.

"It still hurts?" Alana asked.

"Not as much" Harry said, he noticed that Alana was holding a letter.

"From grandfather, don't worry there's no grief. He wanted to know if I would be interested in having a sensational seventeen for my birthday" Alana said.

"A sensational what?" Harry asked.

"They have it in the states for witches when they turn 17 it's a coming of age party. I wear this wedding type of dress I have to make up a speech and pick 17 important people to light a candle in the ceremony. My grandmother was planning it for me. He said I could invite anyone I want. I want it at Club 101" Alana said.

"That sounds cool" Harry said.

"I have to make up a list for him of who I want to be there. Definitely Becky, Paul" Alana said looking at Harry's reaction.

"Ok" Harry said.

"I'm surprised, I thought you didn't like Paul very much" Alana said.

"He's bearable, I don't hate the guy" Harry said with a laugh.

"I have to pick 17 people that mean the most to me, that should be too hard" Alana said looking at Harry.

"Oh no, I have to do a dance with my father, which one" Alana groaned.

"Well is there something in stone that saids you have to do that." Harry asked.

"Well no, I also need an honor escort who could that be" Alana joked, Harry grinned and kissed her.

"And a sensational seventeen court, I'm shortening that to 4 couples" Alana said laughing. "Ron and Hermonine, Dean and Ginny, Becky and Justin, Lynn and Michael, Seamus and Padma, Aaron and Lindsay" she said.

"You really gave this a lot of thought" Harry joked.

"Sort of I'm doing it as I go, I only have two weeks" Alana joked.

Two days later

"Professor Lupin" Alana said opening the door.

"Hello Alana" Lupin said offering his daughter a seat.

"I wanted to give you this" Alana said handing him an inviation.

"Sensational seventeen, your mother told me about hers when she turned 17. It's a very important day." Lupin said touched he was invited.

"It's in" Alana began to say.

"Two weeks, your birthday is May 21" Lupin finished, Alana looked surprised.

"That's right" she said.

"There's a part in the ceremony, a father daughter dance and I couldn't decide who I wanted to do that with so" Alana began to say.

"If you want to choose Stuart that's fine" Lupin lied.

"No, I decided to have the both of you, so I guess you should get out your dancing shoes" Alana said with a laugh.

"I will, I will sweetheart" Lupin said as Alana smiled.

"I missed having classes with you, I mean Little is a good teacher and I understand why I can't because you are my father. I still miss it" Alana said.

"Thank goodness she acknowledges it" Lupin thought to himself.

"I do too but, you can always stop by if you have any trouble not only in defense but in any of your classes" Lupin said.

"Thanks" Alana said. She walked up to her father and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I have a lot to do, I'm going with mom and Lynn to London on Saturday to find me a dress, then I have a swords lesson with Little, then a meeting with Dumbledore" Alana said.

"You're a very busy girl these days" Lupin said.

"Yea, I should get going, bye professor" Alana said leaving.

Lupin smiled and looked at the invitation, he opened it and saw a picture of Alana when she was an infant. He smiled and continued to look at the picture.

"Eden!" A cold voice roared.

"Yes, my lord" Eden said.

"Is everything set?" Voldemont asked.

"Yes my lord, that waiter informed me that Alana's party is in two weeks she gave me another set of keys to her changing room" Eden said.

"Everything is going to plan. Potter is going to crumble first is parents, his godfather, and now the woman he loves" Voldemont started laughing.

May 21

"Where are her shoes" Lynn yelled running up and down the stairs of club 101.

"Take it down a noch, I have them in my hand" Carly said handing the shoes to Lynn.

"She's my best friend and this day is going to be perfect and I mean perfect" Lynn said as Michael and Harry were laughing on the side.

"This isn't her wedding babe" Michael said holding her hand.

"You don't understand" Lynn said.

"Yea it's not a wedding so why can't I see her" Harry protested.

"Cause I said so how about that" Lynn said as she spotted a few guest coming.

"I'm not dressed" Lynn said wearing sweatpants and a tank top. She ran upstairs.

"Is there anything else you need Ms.Deerr" a short haired waitress said.

"No you did so much thank you" Alana said she didn't noticed the waitress slipping a black liquid into her tea kettle.

"Your very welcome" The waitress said raising her eyebrow as she left. Lynn pushed passed her.

"How do I look, I feel like I'm getting married" Alana said turning to her cousin.

Alana was wearing a white satin, strapless ball room gown. Her hair was in a half ponytail.

"Look at you" Lynn said in awe.

"Thanks, now we need to get you ready, I saw a few guest walking over" Alana said taking out her cousins dress.

"Hey Harry" Paul said shaking the young man's hand.

"Hey Paul" Harry said. Seamus grinned at Ron.

"Where's Alana?" Paul asked.

"Upstairs with my girlfriend getting ready" Michael said forcing a smile.

"Lynn is here it's going to be like old times" Paul said walking away.

"There's something about him, that pretty boyness I can't stand. I don't even know the guy" Michael said.

"I know what you mean, I know Alana has no interest in him, he is a good guy though" Harry said as the Deerr family entered the club.

"Father you never made this much of a fuss at my sensational seventeen" Tracy said looking at the decorations. "You would think Alana is getting married" she added looking over at Stuart.

Lynn ran downstairs and to her aunt. "Ivy, she's ready" she exclaimed.

"Harry go upstairs it's almost time" Ivy said as Lupin, Little and Hagrid entered.

"I'll be right back dear" Ivy said walking over to them.

"May I speak to you, it's about Alana" Ivy said to Lupin.

"Of course" Lupin said as they walked outside.

"I never had the chance to tell you how sorry I am for what my husband did to you and Alana. If I knew I would of went to London. I think of Alana as my daughter and my husband does too. But you're her blood and should have the chance to get to know her. I wanted to know if we can come to a compromise about this summer." Ivy said.

Lupin looked surprised at the woman's words. "Yes I would like that" he answered.

"How about she spends part of the summer with you after school ends" Ivy began to say.

"I transform a few days after" Lupin said.

"That's fine she can spend a week back home then, go to London for a few weeks to be with you. She wanted to do an internship at the ministry of magic. After the internship is over she can spend the rest of the summer in the states" Ivy said.

"That's sounds good to me" Lupin said.

"I already talked to Alana about this, she's willing to give it a try" Ivy said. "I think she's sick of fighting, like I am" she added.

"I am too" Lupin said as they walked back in.

"Harry go upstairs it's almost time" Ivy said happily looking around.

"Seventeen court get ready" Ivy said looking at the couples.

Alana looked at the mirror of herself for the fifth time. "Why am I so nervous" she thought fixing her lace veil.

"You ready" Harry said as Alana turned around and smiled.

Harry just looked at her.

"Don't worry we're not getting married" Alana said looking at his suit.

"We should" Harry said looking at her. Alana laughed at her boyfriend's comment.

"I didn't think you could get more beautiful" Harry said giving Alana a kiss. Alana welcomed the kiss.

"You guys this isn't the time for that, let's go" Lynn said looking at them in disgust.

"Thank you all for coming" Ivy said looking at the guests.

"I'm Alana's adopted mother Ivy, that is my husband Stuart, Alana's grandfather John, her brother Steven and her cousin Aaron. We adopted Alana ten years ago and we're very blessed to have her in our lives. A recent discovery in Alana's life is a happy one, Remus would you come up plese" Ivy said motioning Lupin to the front.

Lupin walked up. Hermonine noticed Stuart keeping his composure. "This is Alana's birthfather, Remus Lupin. Alana is a very lucky girl but we are luckier to know her" Ivy said as people clapped.

"Today is Alana's sensational seventeen celebration, where we celebrate the life of my wonderful daughter, joined by her family and friends. Let me introduce you to the sensational seventeen court" Ivy said as the six couples entered the room.

The couples walked to the main table still standing.

"And finally here is my daughter Alannis Emera Deerr and her honor escort Harry Potter" Ivy said as Harry and Alana walked down.

People gasped at the handsome couple and started to whisper. Harry and Alana walked to the head table. Everyone sat down.

"That was easy" Alana whispered to her boyfriend as music started to play.

"Alana" Seamus said from the end of the table.

"What" Alana asked.

"There's real food here right no rich stuff" Seamus said as Hermonine hit his shoulder.

"Yes there is Seamus" Alana said laughing waving at her family. She looked around for Lupin and waved.

"Paul!' Lynn exclaimed.

"Lynn's!" Paul yelled at he ran to the head table giving his friend a hug.

"The entourage is back, you, me, Alana, Becky" Paul said.

"Entourage?" Harry said to his girlfriend.

"We used to call ourselves that in Salem" Alana said.

"Picture" Becky said motioning Alana and Lynn to come around the table.

Michael looked over at Harry raising his eyebrow.

"I'm in the middle" Paul said as Lynn was on his left and Alana on the right.

"Smile" Becky said setting her camera running back to the group. Paul smiled and put his arms on Alana's and Lynn's waist.

"That son of a" Michael said.

"Ignore it Mike" Harry said as the girls walked to their seats.

Shawn wearing a little suit walked over to Alana holding a gold septre. "This is for me" Alana said softly to the two year old boy. Shawn needed.

"Thank you" She said kissing Shawn on the cheek.

Ivy walked back to the dancefloor. "Stuart, Alana come please" she said as her husband and daughter walked next to her. Alana took off the veil.

"Now on to the Sensational Seventeen dance, Alana will dance with both of her fathers" Ivy said wakling off as "Butterfly kisses" started to play.

"Awe" Becky said holding Justin's hand as Alana and Stuart started to dance.

"I'm very proud of you, despite what has happened these past few months" Stuart whispered as they dance.

"I know, I love you too father" Alana said wiping a tear away.

"Remus" Ivy said motioning him to come up.

Lupin walked up as Alana and Stuart continued to dance. Stuart stopped and offered Alana's hand to Lupin. Lupin nodded and started to dance with Alana.

Alana smiled at her father. "You look beautiful sweetheart" Lupin said softly.

"Thank you dad" Alana said tearfully.

Lupin looked at her happily. "That's the first time she's called me that" he thought at they continued to dance.

The song ended, Harry already standing on the side walked up to father and daughter.

"She's all yours" Lupin said stepping back as Harry and Alana started to dance.

The six couples entered the dance floor, following Harry and Alana.

Alana put her head on Harry's chest as Harry pulled her closer.

"Everything is so right Harry" Alana whispered in his ear.

Harry just pulled her closer. "You know I meant what I said upstairs" he said seriously.

Alana looked at her boyfriend strangely. "We should get married" Harry repeated.

"Not now, I mean one day. I want to spend to the rest of my life with you Alana. I would die today a happy man because of the time I spent with you. You know me better than anybody, you don't judge me, your apart of me" Harry said as Alana wiped a tear from his eye.

"I know because I feel the same way about you" she whispered as the song ended.

"Alana come on you have to do your speech" Ivy said as the cake came out.

"Whoa" the party said looking at the seventeen candles.

"Shoot I left it upstairs mom I'll get it" Alana said, she smiled at her guest and hurried upstairs.

Harry felt his scar burning again, he looked and saw a waitress smirking looking up at Alana's room.

"Where is it" Alana said looking around the room. "I'm thirsty" she thought as she poured herself a cup of tea. Eden and Voldemont appeared behind her.

Alana turned around and gasped.

"You are beautiful in person" Voldemont said.

Alana looked at her wand on the coffee table.

"Don't try it golden girl, you know that tea you drank, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" Eden said.

Alana started to scream in agony falling to the ground.

"It's the crucio curse princess" Eden said enjoying Alana's tourture.

"What was that" Harry said hearing the scream upstairs.

Alana managed to get up and threw a glass at Eden. But the curse was too strong and cut her self on the glass leaving drops of blood.

Voldemont heard footsteps coming upstairs. "Enough of this" he said pointing his wand at the window.

"Bombarta" he yelled at the window burst. He grabbed Alana and jumped. Part of Alana's dress was hanging on a piece of glass. Eden apparated out as Steven opened the door.

"Alana!" Steven yelled as Harry ran into the room.

"Alana!" Harry yelled he noticed the drops of blood on the floor he followed them to the window and saw the piece of her dress. "Alana!" Harry yelled frantically.

He took off his blazer and prepared to jump. "Harry no!" Lupin said as he and Steven struggled to hold him.

"She can't be dead" Harry said frantically. Steven and Lupin looked at each other not knowing what to tell him.

In a dark room Alana woke up, still in her dress. "My head" she thought stugling to get up. She looked around and saw statures of snakes everywhere. She turned around and saw the image of the dark mark. Alana looked horrified.

"Take it easy" A man with long dark hair said.

"Where am I?" Alana said frantically.

"In Voldemont's keep" the man said.

Alana looked up at the man. "Who are you?" she said moving back.

"Sirius Black" Sirus said.
