Title: Harry Potter and the Battle of the Worlds

Ch. 5

Diagon Alley and a Disappearance

Harry and his friends apparated into Diagon Alley a half an hour later. Mrs. Weasley had yelled at her son and his girlfriend for snogging in public without any regard to the people around them and for not telling her of their relationship. Ron's ears were still red of embarrassment and Hermione had yet to utter one word. Harry, Tally, Ginny, Blaise, and Neville had found it difficult to keep straight faces and had to leave them by the apparation room and waited for them down in the Atrium. Their they were free to laugh as much as they wanted.

Now walking through Diagon Alley with his friends and Order members, Harry felt his happiest. They had met up with Luna and Mrs. Weasley and LuLu Bartholomew left with Ginny, Luna, and Neville (who was now dating Luna) separately from the rest of them after they had quickly stopped by Gringotts. It still amazed Harry about how much gold was now in his vault from his inheritance.

"Hey, did I tell you guys the letter that the Ministry sent me after the attack on your house, Harry?" Tally said excitedly. Everyone shook their heads. "Well, they said that they were thinking about destroying my wand for using such strong magic and spells and such because, at the time, I was underage. But Josh and Dumbledore went to the Ministry and explained to them that, as an American, I was allowed to do such magic, including the portus spell, when I am underage. And, furthermore, we were under attack by Death Eaters. The Ministry couldn't deny the fact that it was a life or death situation. So, the Ministry let me off with a warning. I thought it was so odd that they would even send me something like that when they knew why I had used them to begin with." Tally added as an afterthought.

"It's Fudge, the bloody bloke doesn't know how to be a damn Minister of Magic!" Ron said angrily, surprising them all.

"He isn't a very good Minister, but he obviously won't back down from his position and it doesn't seem like anyone is willing to throw him out, so I guess we're stuck with him." Hermione said. Blaise snorted.

"Great, just something we need. An incompetant Minister and the Darkest of Wizards in the history of time all in the same time. Doesn't seem very fair, does it?" Blaise said with a smirk. Harry laughed.

"Nothing seems to be all that fair nowadays." Harry said. Tally suddenly grabbed his hand and yanked him into a side store. It was a store that Harry had constantly overlooked. Here was a store filled with jewelry, broaches, tie clasps, money clips, heirlooms, everything a person with money could afford to look good. For a moment Harry only stood and gawked. Hermione, Ron, and Blaise had followed them into the store. Along with Moody, Tonks, and Lupin who had escorting them inside.

"Why are we in here?" Ron asked. Hermione and Tally had already walked away, so Harry just shrugged his shoulders and followed them.

"Why are we in here?" Harry asked Tally when he finally found her by a glass case. Her eyes were entirely focused on the glass figurines inside the case. The figurines were shaped in all different creatures, magical and non-magical.

"I found his store last year when Josh took me shopping. Now I make him take me here as often as he can." Harry watched as her face lit up when she looked over the case.

"Why do you love these so much?"

"My mom used to collect little figurines. I inherited them as well as her passion for them."

"How many do you have?"

"So far, too many to count, but not nearly enough to satisfy me." She grabbed his hand and pulled him to look at even more glass figurines. "See that one there?" She pointed out a beautifully carved unicorn. The body was completely clear, but the horn and the hair were bright white while the eyes were silver. "That ones my favorite." She sighed contently beside him, "Unicorns are so beautiful."

"Do you have that one?" Tally snorted at his question.

"No, I don't have 50 galleons to spend. Magical creatures are much more expensive than the others. So, my collection has no magical creatures." Ron stalked over to them looking rather fearful,

"Can we leave? Hermione is looking at engagement rings." Harry and Tally laughed, but proceeded to the exit, but not before she stole one last look at her favorite figurine. Once outside, Remus and the others took them to finish their shopping.

"What other things do you like?" Harry asked Tally.

"Snow globes. I love snow globes."

"I love food. Where can we eat, I'm starved!" Ron cut-in. Everyone laughed and made their way over to the leaky cauldron where they met up with Mrs. Weasley, LuLu, Luna, Neville, and Ginny.

"What about you, Harry, what's your passion?" Harry thought about it and wondered for a moment what his passion was. He knew Ron's would be the Chudley Cannons and Wizard's chess. He knew Hermione's passion was knowledge and books. He even knew that Neville's was Herbology and Blaise's was Potions. He had, however, never given his passion much thought. Suddenly, a memory flickered into his thoughts and he smiled.

"Flying. Flying is definitely my passion." Tally lowered her eyes and pouted her lips,

"And here I thought you would say that I was your passion…" Harry sat looking at her for a moment, but then she giggled and hit him playfully. In turn, he tickled her until she cried out for mercy. When she had calmed down she turned to Tonks who was sitting on her other side, "Have any more thoughts to what we discussed?" Tonks rolled her eyes and slapped Tally playfully on the arm, but didn't answer her question. The girls all giggled in response.

"What did you guys discuss?" Neville asked with curiously.

"Well, we think that Tonks and Ch-" Tally began before Tonks covered her mouth roughly with her hand. Tally struggled beneath her hand.

"Just a little girl talk, nothing you boys need to concern yourselves with." Tonks commented, her voice forced as she strained to control Tally. Ron raised his eyebrows to Harry, who shrugged and laughed as Tally shot Tonks a glare, Tonks' hand still clamped tightly around her mouth.

After their long lunch, Neville and Blaise said farewell and disapparated away back to Neville's Grandmother's house. Tally followed their lead and kissed Harry good-bye after telling him she would return before the end of summer.

They came home to find the Dursleys' and the Grangers' talking quietly in the kitchen. Mrs. Granger stood when her daughter entered.

"Well?"

"I passed my apparition exam and made Head Girl!" Hermione cried out. Mrs. Granger squealed and hugged her daughter tightly.

"I'm so proud of you!" Hermione giggled. Her father stood and hugged both his daughter and his wife.

"Alright, I think you all should go and deposit your things in your rooms and clean yourself up. I'll get started on dinner. They walked up the stairs and threw their new purchases onto their beds. Mrs. Weasley had bought Harry a larger trunk as his was getting pretty full. She had bought all of Hermione's school supplies and Ron a new broom. His cleansweep would go to Ginny.

"When's Tally coming back?" Ron asked.

"A day or two before heading back to Hogwarts."

"Can you believe we'll be Seventh Years?" Hermione asked.

"No." Ron said quickly and rather roughly. He gave a shudder before turning back to his new broom, a Nimbus 2001, the same as Malfoy's. Harry shot him a puzzled look.

"Aren't you excited?" He asked.

"Well, yeah I'm excited, but if you think about it, so much will be going on and then it'll be all over."

"Like what?"

"Like N.E.W.T.S. and then graduation. I mean, we're on our own after that."

"But, isn't that exciting?" Hermione asked giddily. Ron shot her a disgusted look.

"No it's bloody well not exciting. I'll probably do horrid on my exams and no one will want me to work for them once we graduate."

"Ron, you'll do fine. When have I ever let you down?" Hermione said with a smile. Ron smiled back and turned pink. Hermione threw her arms around him and they embraced. Harry rolled his eyes and left them alone in the room

The last two weeks of the summer went by quickly. The Dursleys' accepted the help from the Order and everyday Uncle Vernon went to work with the help of an Order member. Aunt Petunia had taken to cleaning the house with Mrs. Weasley and had begun to look for a new house in the newspaper Vernon brought home everyday. Dudley went to exploring the house and was usually found in the library reading the books with his nose pressed against the pages.

Everyday Harry took to feeding Buckbeak. Since the death of Sirius, Buckbeak had sunk into a depression. For awhile he even stopped eating. Last summer, Harry had spent many hours with the beast and had grown very fond of him. Together they were able to heal.

Now it was the day before Harry and his friends would travel to Hogwarts as Seventh Years, Harry was sitting on the bed as Buckbeak devoured the rats that surrounded him. Harry was telling the beast of the day's events, ending with the fact that Tally had yet to arrive.

"No letter, no fire-call, not one work to say she wasn't or couldn't come. It just isn't like her." Harry finished. The Hippogriff raised his great head and his yellow eyes started into Harry's. The beast rested his head onto the bed and a soft crooning sound issued from him. "Do you think I should worry?" Before Buckbeak could answer, Mrs. Weasley's voice echoed through the house and reached Harry.

"DINNER!" Harry sighed and stood. He hugged Buckbeak and exited the room.

Harry went to bed slightly put out that Tally hadn't come to Grimauld Palace like she had promised. She hadn't even owled him to tell him why.

"Maybe Adams didn't want her to come or something came up. I wouldn't worry to much about it mate." Ron reassured him when Harry had voiced his concerns, but Harry didn't feel any better. That night Harry had a strange dream, only it wasn't a dream, but a vision.

Harry found himself sitting in a tall chair in a room shrouded in darkness.. Harry looked around his surroundings, but he was unable to see anything but a door that lay ahead of him. Suddenly the door flew open and a Death Eater, who bowed, ran forward.

"Master, he has brought her." Harry laughed a cold, heartless laugh,

"Prepare her for my arrival." His voice hissed.

"Yes my Lord." The Death Eater bowed low to the ground and walked backwards out of the room. Harry jolted awake from the hollowing pain in his scare and the odd happy feeling in pit of his stomach, he heard a voice loudly cry out his name. The voice was full of terror and pain.

"RON!" Harry yelled and jumped from his bed, making his way over to where his friend lay asleep. Harry shook Ron awake.

"Wha-what? Mom, I don't want to go to school today. I'm sick." Was the disoriented reply Harry received.

"Ron, wake up, I think something bad happened. I heard someone scream."

"What? Who screamed?" Ron was sitting up in his bed, eyes still trying to focus in on Harry, shaking his head to wake himself up.

"I think something happened. I had another vision. Voldemort has someone and he's really happy about it." Ron got out of bed and headed out of the room, Harry quickly followed him. When they reached the kitchen door, voices filtered out to them,

"Don't worry, we'll get her back."

"She's a strong girl, she'll get through this." Immediately Harry pushed open the door. Sitting at the table, head in hands and sobbing uncontrollably was Professor Josh Adams. Comforting him was Mrs. Weasley, Tonks, and Lupin.

"What happened? Where's Tally?" Both Lupin and Mrs. Weasley sent pained looks in Harry's direction, "What happened to Tally, where is she?" Harry demanded louder. Ron placed a hand on Harry's shoulder, he too could feel the horror of what was to come. Slowly Adams raised his head to look at Harry.

"She's gone, Harry...gone."

"GONE? HOW CAN SHE BE GONE?" Harry yelled. Mrs. Black's portrait awoke and started to scream.

"FILTHY HALF-BREEDS! BEFOULING MY BEAUTIFUL HOUSE!-"

"They took her. They were too fast for me."

"OUT, ALL OF YOU OUT!" Mrs. Black raged on.

"Don't think that way, Josh. They'll find her." Mrs. Weasley said over the yells. Adams' began crying again.

"My fault, my fault. She's all I have left." Suddenly Harry felt a burning hot pain on his chest. He heard Ron gasp and turned to see him clutching his chest. Harry felt under his shirt at the necklace that Hermione had given to him last Christmas. The pendent was glowing a firey red in Harry's palm. The name TALLY was clear across the lightening bolt. So everything they had said was true. Tally was in trouble.

"BLOOD-TRAITOR OF A SON! DISGUST, FILTH, SCUM. THE LOT OF YOU!" Harry rage was at boiling point and he ran from the kitchen to the landing where the portrait hung. Mrs. Black's face was twisted into an ugly fury that was matched by that of a 17 year old man with untidy black hair and emerald green eyes. "YOU! MY FOUL OF FLESH LOVED YOU, HOW PATHETIC IT WAS. POTTER'S SON LOVED BY A BLACK-"

"SHUT UP YOU HORRID WOMAN, JUST SHUT UP!" Rage filled Harry and he felt the electricity run through him. He had felt it once before when he was preventing Malfoy and his goons from killing Blaise. Harry threw his arms out and to his surprise, the painting ripped from the wall. Mrs. Black's voice was filled with pain and horror as her painting began to rip itself to shreds. Harry's anger pulsed and the energy was only intensified by her fear. As the last of her screams died away, the pieces of the portrait caught on fire and burned away. Harry stood panting as he watched the ashes fall away.

"Harry?" came a soft voice trembling with fear. He looked up to see Hermione and Ginny watching him from the top of the stairs. He looked down and everyone, minus Adams stood at the bottom watching as if in a trance. Ron walked up to him and pulled him back down to the kitchen. The girls followed quietly.

"Harry, what was that?" Hermione asked.

"His pain." Lupin said from behind them.

"Pain?" Ginny asked, her confusion showed in her eyes.

"Pain over Tally."

"Tally, what happened to Tally?" Hermione immediately asked.

"They took her." Ron said.

"Who?" Ginny asked.

"VOLDEMORT! VOLDEMORT HAS HER, OKAY?" Harry yelled, causing both girls to jump.

"She's gone and it's all my fault." Adams said once more. Mrs. Weasley looked pitifully at him.

"She can't be gone. I felt her, I heard her! we have to find her!" When Harry spoke, Adams head snapped up,

"What do you mean you heard her?"

"Before, upstairs. I had a vision and when I woke up, I heard Tally cry out my name. I know it was her!" Harry added angrily when he saw Mrs. Weasley open her mouth.

"Do you always hear her?" Adams asked.

"Sometimes, usually only in dangerous situations."

"Do you know why you can hear her?"

"She told me it's because she loves me." Harry said. Adams remained staring at him, but said nothing more.

"What was your vision?" Lupin asked. Harry explained the short vision he had received before waking.

"Do you love her?" Josh asked him quietly when he had finished.

"Yes." Adams nodded his head. He was no longer crying, but he had a lost look on his face. "Why did they take her?"

"David, he has wanted her for a long time now." Adams sighed softly, "Angel went out looking for her. I don't know if either will come back."

"We will bring them both back! I promise." Tonks insisted.

"Adams, can't you still feel her? I know you both have that connection. I still can!" Harry asked him, surprised by the force and emotion behind his words.

"Yes, but how long do you suppose it will last?"

"As long as it takes to find her."

A/N:

Hey sorry it took so long to get this up. It's actually been ready for awhile, but since we couldn't submit for a few days and then when we were finaly able to, I had to head home and didn't have time to upload this. So anyway, here it is. I also am almost done with the 6th, 7th, and 8th chapters, so expect those to be uploading this week and next week.

Ersb99: Oh, sorry about taking your ideas, lol. I still think you ought to do it though, write the battle scene. Make it interesting.

Indigo Feline: I did as you asked and didn't update though it took way longer than I had anticipated. I think Harry is extremely gullible which gets in the way of his rational thinking. Anyway, glad you liked the chapter, I'm sure this one was a little more boring for you as there wasn't much action.

SiriusRulz14: I love the Marauders too, they seem like so much. Glad you are enjoying the story.
