Dimensions - chapter 4
James and Harry walked up Diagon Alley, Harry had to avoid nodding to people that he knew in the other world. They bought robes, books, potions supplies and a broomstick.
"So, what would you like as a familiar?"
Harry considered for a moment, pausing to think of Hedwig. He couldn't replace her. "a cat please."
"Ok. The magical menagerie is just up here." James pointed to the building from where Crookshanks came.
They entered, and after a lot of deliberation, Harry selected a white cat with odd eyes (one green one blue).
"right. I think that's everything you'll need for school...but if we are going to make this convincing you are going to need some other possessions. Posters and stuff. What's your quidditch team?"
"um. The cannons." Harry said quickly thinking that this might help him to become friends with Ron.
The two headed back up the street towards he quidditch shop.
A siren rang out, a loud whining sound. The noise of the crowd stopped abruptly. It was as if the entire street had been frozen. Then, just as suddenly chaos ensued. People began running, mothers calling out frantically for their children. Others began disapperating.
"Death eaters!" James exclaimed. "Keep low and inconspicuous. We have to get the Leaky Cauldron. One of the only safe houses in the area."
James grabbed Harry tightly by the wrist and began pulling him along. As they ran they were pushed and shoved from all directions. Harry and James tried to blend in with the evacuating crowd as death eaters appeared around them.
"Why-" Harry asked
"Not now Dudley!" James interrupted.
Some of the death eaters began to march into shops, wands raised threateningly. Others were attempting to break up the fleeing mass. The family in front of Harry and James fell as they were stunned, so they ran around them, narrowly avoiding running into a display of potions ingredients outside the apothecary. Harry had to run very fast to keep up with his father, who had not relinquished his vice - like grip on Harry's arm. In his haste, he did not notice a man sprawled on the floor and tripped.
James bent down briefly to help him up. As they stood and prepared to continue their sprint, they found their path blocked by a tall man in a death eaters mask.
Blue eyes glittered maliciously within the eye holes.
"Jamsie. Well, well, well. Just the man I've been looking to kill."
James pulled out his wand and faced the man furiously. Harry felt as though his blood turn to ice, he would recognise that voice anywhere. He stood, rooted to the spot, unable to speak.
"What have you done with my godson?!"
"He's in Azkaban where he belongs." James said bitterly
Sirius laughed that familiar bark - like laugh "wow! Such family loyalty."
"As I'm sure you remember, he ceased to be a member of my family the moment you snatched him!"
Harry was listening to this furious dialogue in a kind of numbness, still frozen in place. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Sirius would never talk like this, James was his best friend!
"who's the kid?" Sirius asked.
"That's none of your business."
Sirius repositioned his wand, making sure it pointed right at James's heart. Harry felt the first vague fluttering of panic.
Finding his voice, he yelled "Stop!"
"You CAN talk! What's your name?" Sirius said with an eerie sort of delight.
"Don't tell him anything!" James shouted.
"just making conversation before he has to watch his babysitter die!"
James cast a stunning spell at Sirius which he easily deflected.
"Nice try." Sirius commented before sending a curse at James. Harry pulled out his own wand.
Before he had the chance to use it he felt two large hands holding him back.
"Let go! He's going to hurt my d - uncle!" Harry struggled. He was pulled into a fireman's carry and was dragged backwards through the alley, watching as the two men were absorbed in a brilliant light that came as they cursed each other.
Harry looked down, unable to watch any longer, as one of the men fell to the ground. The moleskin overcoat betrayed the identity of his 'rescuer'.
"Hagrid, put me down!"
they entered the pub. The silence within rang in his ears after the door was closed, damping the wailing siren.
"How'd you know it was me?" Hagrid asked putting Harry down; next the shopping bags that Hagrid had also felt needed rescuing.
"you're so tall."
"You should see my brother." Hagrid said with a smile
Remembering why he was in the leaky Cauldron with Hagrid, Harry paled and headed back toward the Alley, wand raised.
"no. you're to stay here." Hagrid said restraining Harry.
"James is in danger!" Harry yelled, struggling against the giant.
"He can take care o' himself. Probably already gone back to Hogwarts."
The innkeeper, Tom, waved the two of them frantically over at that point as the fireplace was now available.
Hagrid threw the powder into the fire and ushered Harry in afterwards. "Go to the hospital wing. Your aunt'll probably be wonderin' where you are."
As Harry span into the infirmary fire place, his mother came running up to him looking extremely relieved.
"Where is-"
"I'm fine." James said. Walking next to his wife.
"I managed to catch him with a nasty hex that knocked him to the ground. I then disapperated."
A/N there u are for now. A really short chappie I know. the next one will be longer
