Chapter 8: Back to the Future
Disclaimer: I own nothing that has anything to do with J.K or Harry Potter.
*sniffles*
A/N: Hey alright so it's a tad corny but hey. It's love what can I say? Lol. Nah anyway this chapter should be a little interesting. A little serious but interesting all the same. This chapter is what the title says. Going back to the future for a chapter. Gotta get this story more of a plot line huh? Oh and yea so I tend to make stories really long so this one will be going for some time. Just warning you. There are several more chapters to come. Not too many but several. R and R please and tell me what you think. Ok here goes.
Adalia was brought back to herself by a tap on her apartment window. She got up, straightening out the wrinkles in her black suit which included a semi-mini skirt, a jacket, white tank, and black strappy high heels. She walked over to the small brown owl who was fluttering about outside with a letter tied to its leg. Opening up the window, the owl dashed through, bouncing off the walls. She laughed dryly as it finally landed on the kitchen counter. She walked over to it and untied the letter and then set a small bowl of water in front of it which it drank happily.
'You are one strange owl' she thought to herself as she opened the letter. It was written in beautiful cursive. Her eyes went straight to the signature. They widened as she went back up to the top and read.
Dear Adalia,
I'm not really sure how to start off this letter. It is hard for me to express what I would rather express in person. The past months have been very hard, as I'm sure you are well aware. It was my fault for not having contacted you sooner but I thought better of it seeing as how I thought my letters might be being watched. Now that it's safe let me get to the point. Sirius.Sirius is gone. We all miss him a lot. He was an amazing person and an even better friend.
Adalia's eyes began to water but she pushed the tears back. She closed her eyes for a moment and then reopened them and continued reading.
I know you and Sirius had not seen too much of each other in the past years because of things that are far to complicated to write down as a general description. Ok I'm starting to ramble. I guess I'll just get to the point. We can talk about that later. This summer I want to know if you would like to come and visit here for a week or so. I know being an auror is very time consuming but this is.well you know. Anyway Harry will be coming as well as a few others to stay. If you come you will stay with me at Sirius's old house. I think you know where it is. Anyway I believe this letter is long enough. Please write soon. Sincerely, Moony
Adalia couldn't help but smile at the signature. She hadn't heard that name in years. Moony, Prongs, Padfoot and.she shuddered at the thought of the name. Wormtail. She wanted nothing more than to hunt him down and kill him. It was a burning desire that had been with her for some time. Her hand close tighter than she had meant to over the note. She took a few deep breaths and released her anger. A few moments later she was taking out a sheet of parchment and a quill. Something odd had hit here. Remus had said Harry would be there. Harry Potter. Lily and James's son. She had never really thought of him as a famous person since she had helped change his diapers a few times. But seeing him now. She had seen him on the cover of the daily prophet. He looked exactly like James. But to see him in person. She wasn't sure if she could handle that. She sighed. Maybe seeing him would be good for her. Seeing as how she was his.
Adalia choked on some water she was drinking. No, that wouldn't mean anything. It was alright.
Dear 'Moony', It's been a long time since I have heard that name. I was so happy to hear from you. It has been a long time. Yes I would love to stay with you this summer. I'm sure I can get a week off from work. Yes being an auror is very time consuming especially with Voldemort back but I do think that they will let me. Never taken a day off. Just let me know when. For the past few months I see his picture everywhere. It is still in the windows with WANTED stamped on the top. Every time I see it, it makes me shudder. And as for Harry, I look forward to meeting him although I do wish to keep who I am away from him. He is going through enough already. Thank you once again for your support and it will be nice to see a friendly face. Sincerely, Tails
Adalia stared at the letter for some time. She had not used that name in so long it seemed foreign to her. None the less she tied the letter to the small owl's leg and it flew happily out the window once again. She sighed and turned of the television, feeling the light breeze blow through her hair. This would definitely be a week to remember. She went into her room and started to pack knowing that Hogwarts had already let out so she would be leaving soon. The hairs on her arms went on end, her senses prickling. There was someone in her apartment. She turned around and crept to the door to her room with her wand held taught in her hand.
Standing in the living room was a small man wearing a black cloak that was somewhat to long for him. He looked vaguely familiar. Adalia's eyes widened as she realized who was standing before her. Her eyes now narrowed as she held her wand out to the man looking completely frightened yet determined. She walked out of her room cautiously and said, "Get out!"
The man turned to her, shaking slightly. But all to quickly his body began to change into the form of another. She watched in horror at who it had become and her hand began to shake. She knew she had no choice but to run.
"Still on your toes. Good to see." The man said with a smirk. Adalia's lips pursed into a thin line.
"Like I said before. Get out. I want no part of what you are going to tell, offer, or do to me." She stated. She was not afraid of this man and never had been despite his way to gain power over people.
"Oh but I think you do. Now put down your wand and lets talk." He said calmly. Adalia didn't move.
"Why don't you tell me what you want and then we go from there." She said coldly. He smirked making her shiver.
"Alright have it your way. I want you to join us. Your powers are." but he was cut off. "You don't know the half of what my powers are. You know I will never join you so why don't you tell me the real reason you're here?"
The man sighed. "I had hoped I wouldn't have to do this." He began but Adalia did not wait to see what he was going to do. She put the imperious curse on him and then dashed into her room. Once there she released him and grabbed her packed suitcase. She felt something zoom past her arm and then someone holding a firm grip on her shoulder. She was not stupid though. With a flash she had disappeared out of thin air from his grasp and reappeared outside her apartment building in a dark alleyway. Looking up, the owl from before swooped down with another letter. She took it gratefully, tucked the owl into a pocket of her jacket and then ran out onto the crowded street. She then ran to a park bench and sat down panting slightly.
She opened up the letter quickly and began to read.
Tails, It has been a long time since I have seen that name also. Whenever you can come would be wonderful. Even right now to be honest. Harry will be arriving here tomorrow. I would love to see you. We do have some very important things to talk about. Voldemort is back, yes, and that means it is not only Harry that is in danger. You know what I mean. Well send word back to when you are coming or just drop by. I'm here right now but I will be going to get Harry tomorrow at the platform. And about telling Harry who you are, you will just be an old friend of ours. But you know you will have to tell him eventually. I warn you he is just as quick as James was so he will figure it out on his own if you or I do not tell him. Sincerely, Moony
Adalia took a deep breath while looking at this and then stared up the street. She should be able to make it to the house by tonight if on foot. She grabbed her bags and began to walk for she knew the way all to well. While on her walk she began to drift back once again to her years at Hogwarts. It was the end of her seventh year.
