Chapter 5 – Dementors and Visions
It had gone cold in the alley. There were dementors sweeping in on them, Mrs Weasley had dropped the portkey in shock, it was an old bottle and it rolled away. The orders members that were standing by appeared and were firing patronuses at the dementors. Harry instinctively jumped in front of Wendy, knowing she had no means of protection. She had a wand but hadn't a clue how to use it.
"Expecto patronum!" bellowed Harry but nothing but grey vapour shot at the dementor.
"Expecto patronum!" he tried again, thinking of going back to Hogwarts and playing quidditch. A stag erupted from the tip of his wand but this time it wasn't silver it was a gleaming gold it charged the dementor and instead of driving it away it reduced it to dust. Harry stared in shock at the magic he had just done. That had never happened before the other dementors noticed what just happened and fled.
"What was that Potter?" asked Moody astounded.
"I-I don't know," he stuttered "its never happened before"
"Come on lets go before the death eaters come." Said Lupin as he went and retrieved the portkey.
"Hey, thanks." Said Wendy to Harry as they made their way over to the others.
"No problem." Said Harry still wondering how he destroyed that dementor. They all gathered around the portkey.
"Just put your finger on it." Said Hermione.
"1...2...3."
They emerged in the kitchen in Grimmauld Place in a heap on the floor. Ron had landed on Hermione.
"I'm sorry Hermione." Said Ron, his ears turned bright red.
"Its ok Ron." She said blushing.
Harry rolled his eyes. "Them two, they really like each other they just wont admit it." Harry whispered to Wendy. "I have been thinking of ways to get them together, but nothing seemed like it will work."
"Maybe I have a way." She said with a mischievous. "But not now, later."
A burst of fire in midair illuminated the dingy kitchen and a bit of parchment fell to the table along with a phoenix feather.
"Dumbledore says he will be here soon." Said Molly as she read the parchment. "Nothing to do but wait."
Wendy went and sat down facing Hermione. Her head felt funny, her eyes started to go out of focus. She could no longer see Hermione sitting in front of her it was a swirl of colour and she saw Harry he was standing where she had left him moments ago and then without warning the chandelier that was above him on the ceiling came crashing down on him. It was a swirl of colour again and her eyes came back into focus she turned and looked at Harry and then without thinking about she lunged at him and sent him back into the wall and then surprisingly to the others the chandelier fell down to the floor with an almighty bang where Harry had been standing seconds ago.
Everyone just stared and no one had even noticed that Dumbledore had arrived.
"Are you two alright?" asked Lupin.
"Yeah" replied Harry in shock.
"How did you know that chandelier was going to fall Wendy." Asked Dumbledore calmly.
"My head went fuzzy and then I saw it happening and when my eyes came back into focus I pushed Harry out of the way."
"Can I see Lillian, Wendy and Harry in the living room please." Requested Dumbledore.
The four left the room leaving the other shocked at what just happened.
"She could take over for Trelawny, I'm telling ya" said Ron
