Chapter 6: The Visitors
"So...?" Kerrie asked excitedly.
"What?" Hermione asked pretending not to know.
"Tell me! What happened? I want to know all the details!" Kerrie said impatiently.
Hermione was too embarrassed to tell. So she played dumb. "I don't know what you're talking about. We just had to clean Professor Snape's room."
"Don't play dumb with me!" Kerrie screeched. Hermione jumped at the sound of her voice, so they both giggled. "Come on, tell me...please? I know something happened, look at your leg. It's twitching." Hermione blushed and turned away.
"Golden Unicorns," she said to the pink lady and went inside. Hermione was hoping to go to her dorm to study, but was bombarded by a herd of animals...or maybe it was students. She could make out questions.
"Herms! What happened?"
"It's a quarter after!"
"Would you be quiet?"
"You're gonna wake everyone up, Ron!"
"Hermione!"
"What the hell did you two do?"
"If he touched you, I'll..."
"Nothing happened, Ron." Kerrie said. "That's why she's so tired." She had to come up with something. Otherwise Ron would murder her brother. "Do you really think she would be tired is she had sex? Plus, I think she's on her period." Ron twitched at the word and all of the girls laughed.
"Now, if you don't mind," Hermione finally said, "it's late and I would like to go to bed."
"Me too." Kerrie said.
"Hey, wait up!" Ginny followed.
Breakfast the next morning was rather quiet. Even Harry and Kerrie weren't flirtatious for once. They all wanted to know what Hermione did, but were too afraid to ask. And Hermione was too afraid to tell. "You know Hermione," Kerrie finally spoke up; Hermione rolled her eyes. "It wouldn't hurt if you—." But she was cut off by the arrival of mail.
A beautiful grey owl landed right in her eggs. "Arg! You twit! Get out of here!" But the owl simply dropped in her lap a letter.
"Blimey!" Ron said, astounded. "It's after Christmas and you're still getting stuff from the folks back home?!"
"This isn't from home," Kerrie said, just as shocked as everyone else. She hastily opened the letter. Kerrie barely (I don't do this rhyming thing on purpose. lol.) got through the letter before she started crying.
"What's up?"
"Erm, Kerrie..." Harry reached for her hand, but she pulled away. She got up and ran to the same staff room she found Hermione in. But she couldn't lock the door fast enough.
"What did Potter do to you?" Draco walked in.
"It's nothing. He didn't do anything." Kerrie said as she wiped her face. She also tried to hide the letter, but Draco, being a seeker and all, snatched it. At that, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all walked in. Ron locked the door.
"Colloportus."
"Now Kerr-bear, (pronounced: Care Bear)" Harry said, "what happened?"
"I though you said your mom was dead." Malfoy said to Kerrie after reading the letter, ignoring the intruders.
"That's just it, I thought she was. She just went missing and..."
Draco harbored his sister. She broke down in tears. "So, are you gonna do it?"
"I guess I have no choice." She sniffled.
"Erm, Kerrie? What's going on? What's this about your mother? Is that who the letter is from?"
Kerrie stifled her tears to read the letter to everyone.
My Darling Kerrie,
This may be hard for you. I know it's hard for me. I haven't seen you in fifteen years. I fear if I explain to you what has happened, that the letter will be intercepted. But I can tell you this. There is a boy, my godson, by the name of Harry Potter. I have someone here who has been dying to see him. Find him, and have him show you the back entrance to Hogsmeade. It is here where you will find a cat, and a dog. Please let them in. I love you and have missed you so dearly.
Love,
Mom
"Wow," Ron said. "So, who could possibly be dying to see Harry?"
"Ron," Ginny said sympathetically, though to Kerrie. "You're completely missing the point. This is the first time Kerrie is hearing from her mother in fifteen years!" She really emphasized the number.
"Think about it this way," Hermione offered. "Remember how Harry felt last summer when we couldn't tell him about the Order?"
"Well if you don't, it was absolutely awful." Harry offered. "I hadn't heard from you all summer. I hadn't heard from Voldemort or anything." Kerrie sat down on a couch. She was having a hard time taking this all in.
"So," Malfoy said trying to get the attention back to him. "What time do you want us to sneak out?"
"We, I..." Kerrie struggled to find words. "Draco...you guys...I just can't have you there. It can only be Harry and I. I'm really sorry Draco." And she meant it. After seeing Draco's face, she almost cried.
They spent all of Saturday morning through afternoon outside. By then, it was late March, so the snow was completely dissolved.
"I know how you're feeling," Harry said to Kerrie. She was sitting apart from her group obviously thinking, just like in the staff room. "When I first met Sirius, it was scary. I thought he was a murderer. And I only really got to know him for two years before..." Harry's eyes welled up with tears.
"Harry," she responded while wiping his tears with her sleeve. "I'm sorry. Try not to think about it. Let's go visit Hagrid." She felt kind of stupid comforting him when she felt she was the one that deserved the comforting, put she quickly brushed that feeling off. They helped each other up, and headed towards the half-giant's hut.
"Hey Hagrid! It's us, can we come in?"
"Hey yer two! I though' yer'd nev'r come to see me! What's amatter?" He added seeing their faces. "Is there anything I can do fer yas? Would yer like a scone? Just made 'em meself."
"No thanks, Hagrid."
"Tell me what's wrong, or yeh getting' out!" He said it more sternly than yelling, and Kerrie was frightened into speaking. She also let out a small yelp. "I'm sorry, Kerrie. I just don't like seein' yeh upset."
"It's ok, Hagrid. It's just...I finally heard from my mom for the first time yesterday."
"Really? Well, who is she? Did she go ter 'ogwarts?"
"Yes, her name is Annie, and—."
"Annie? Little Annie? Lily's friend? Oh, she was a fun one. Very bold that one was; a lot like you. She was a jewel. Sirius was luck to 'ave 'er."
"You knew them?" Harry asked, wanting to hear more stories about Sirius.
"Yep, very well. It was when I was still a gameskeeper, yeh know, and I saw them arguin'. I was laughin' 'cause I though' it was cute. But then I noticed it was somethin' more serious than that. It was the last day of their last year, Annie was finally an Ani—. Nevermind." Harry and Kerrie looked at each other nervously, then at Hagrid. He tried desperately to ignore this by finishing his story. "Erm...Oh! Well, I went ter see what was wrong, and found out that yer Mum were pregnant with you, Kerrie! Well, that there Sirius was so mad it wasn't his baby, he damn near killed poor Ann. That is, until I stepped in.
"'Now yer two stop that!' I remember yellin'. 'Yer love ea'other, so act like it.' Now that there godfather of yers, 'arry, got so damn angry he tore off. As a dog that is. After that, Annie broke down in tears. I 'ad to carry 'er up to 'er dorm meself."
"Sirius wouldn't do that!" Harry yelled, offended.
"Calm down, Harry," Kerrie said. "It's ok. Well, Hagrid, that was a very...err...nice story thanks for telling us more about my Mum and Sirius. But er, it's getting late and Harry and I have to go."
"No problem, Kerrie... 'arry. Keep yer noses clean."
Once they were out of Hagrid's earshot, Kerrie said, "Well, that was depressing. Come on, lets find the gang and tell them that we're leaving...we have to work out a plan."
In the Library
With the loyal Maurader's Map out, Kerrie said, "Is everyone clear on the plan? Snape is still the most evil teacher out here, so Draco, he's your job. Ron you have to watch out for your sister-in-law, and Hermione and Ginny, well you two have the rest. It's kind of funny. I haven't seen my mom in so long. I don't even remember what she looks like. What...what will I say to her? When I find the man that kidnapped my mother," she started making hand movements similar to an executer in ancient times. They all shivered as they felt the imaginary head drop to the floor.
"K...Kerrie," Ron started "Y...you really want to kill this guy?"
When Kerrie answered by looking at the floor, Harry put his arm around her. He knew exactly how she felt.
Draco rolled his eyes. "Kerrie, you know I'm there for you right? I will help in any way I can. Ok?"
Kerrie got out of Harry's hold and ran to Malfoy. "Oh, Draco!" She cried on his shoulder. "I'm so scared. What if she's hurt? I haven't seen her in so long. So long."
Ron, uncomfortable with this said chuckling, "You know what's funny? A total of seven hours ago we were yelling at Hermione for not telling us what happened between her and..." Ginny jabbed him hard in the side. "Ouch!"
"What are you talking about?" Draco asked defensively. "Why were you bothering Hermione? Why are you so nosey?"
Ron turned a couple shades purple. "I have every right to be nosey! Incase you haven't noticed, Hermione is OUR friend. Not yours. You may not know it, but Hermione doesn't want anything to do with you. Right Hermione?" He said, looking back at Hermione. When Hermione didn't answer, a look of horror showed on his face. "You'd rather be with him!? Krum was bad enough, but...but Malfoy!?"
"Ron...please!! You have to let me explain!"
Ron took a step back and gave her a hard look. "I'm sorry Hermione, but at the moment I don't have to let you explain anything." With that said, he turned and stormed towards the Gryffindor Tower.
Hermione turned towards the rest of them, "I need to go and think for a little while, Ginny can you take over for me?" Ginny nodded to her, and Hermione added, "and don't forget to remind Ron about watching Penelope." Hermione only let out a single tear before turning down one of the corridors.
Ginny turned to Harry and Kerrie, "You guys should probably start going. Draco and I will go to our stations, and I'll go find Ron. If I don't find him then I'll watch out for Penelope." Harry and Kerrie (how sad is it that that rhymes?) both nodded. Harry threw the invisibility cloak over them, and watched as Ginny and Draco walked away. Harry looked at Kerrie under the cloak and gave her a nervous grin, "Well here goes nothing."
They started walking towards the humped stone witch. Harry had his wand out, and Kerrie held the Maurader's Map. Even though it hadn't gotten dark yet, they knew it would. They would have to go underground once they got inside...so they were prepared.
"Oh no!" Kerrie said. "Snape!" Just as those words were said, their Professor Snape came around the corner and stopped right in front of them.
It was quite humorous actually. Snape was dressed as though he were about to go on some kind of date. He had a type of tuxedo on and a very strong cologne. Their teacher looked straight through them to his reflection on the floor. "Ravishing," he said in a whisper though Harry and Kerrie heard it.
Kerrie tried to hold it, but a with mixture of a laugh and a sneeze from his cologne, she cold hold it no longer. "Aaachoo!"
"Who's there?" It was a weak sneeze, but loud enough for Snape to react to it. He started reaching out attempting to grab the cloak. "I know you're hear Potter. Once I catch you, this will be it. You'll be out of this school forever!" The two wheeled around him and somehow made it to the humped witch without any other interruptions. But they knew now, that Snape was after them.
Harry tapped on the witches back, said "Dissendium", and she opened to let them in. Harry went first (to show Kerrie how it's done) and then Kerrie went after whispering, "Mischief managed," to the map. "Crap, I can't see. Lumos." She said to her wand once she slid down the chute. "Harry? Harry! I can't see a damn thing. Harry? Ouch!"
Harry chuckled, "I guess you've found me."
"Yeah," Kerrie said rubbing her arm. "Hey, do you work out?"
Harry didn't answer, he just chuckled, "Come on. We have to find the cellar." They walked for about an hour before they actually got to the store's cellar. "Now, where exactly is your mother supposed to be?"
"I don't know. Maybe somewhere in Hogsmeade?" Kerrie said, unsure of where to look.
"Err, ok. Let's go." As they walked around Hogsmeade, it hit Harry. "UGH! The letter said the back entrance? She probably meant where the Shrieking Shack! We went the wrong way."
"What do you mean we went the wrong way?" She started looking around and then said, "What about that house over there? Isn't that the Shrieking Shack?"
"Well, yeah...but...but—."
"Come on, Mr. Negative," she said pulling him towards the shack. "You've been there before, haven't you?" Harry moaned as Kerrie pulled him closer to the Shack. They walked passed the gate and up to the door. "Now what?" Kerrie said looking around for a doorknob.
"I don't know. I'm just here for moral support."
"No your not," Kerrie said turning to Harry. "Someone wants to see you, remember?" She found a way in, and they both agreed to go upstairs. Immediately they heard purring. "Who...who's there?" Kerrie stammered. Then when she saw the cat, she picked it up. "Aww," She said petting it. "Didn't the letter say something about a cat...and a dog?" Just then, a dog appeared in the doorway of a room. It appeared to be beckoning them in. The cat jumped out of Kerrie's arms and ensued the dog. Kerrie and Harry followed pursuit.
That dog looked awfully familiar. Harry thought to himself. Thinking about where he saw that large, black, shaggy haired dog before. Then, as he stepped in the room wide eyed, he said, "SIRIUS!"
AN: Well, that was chapter 6. lol What did you think? I loved it. I brought Sirius back. And I will explain how he "escaped death and everything. There will be loads of flashbacks and explainations to what happened 'the night Annie was abducted' Ooooooooh. It sounds like a movie doesn't it? Lol ok, well lets see. I would like to thank my buddy Paige (read her story it has great Ginny and Draco action! See Strange and Happy's profile.) and my bestest buddy Julie. They've encouraged and helped me through this story and my other one, and I appreciate it. Thanks guys!!
AN: Warning, you might want to reread Chapter 4 before you read this chapter. Hey, it's ok you guys are new to my stories. They compare me to the great Charles Dickens.
