Chapter 5- An encounter

Harry woke up to find himself lying in a plain room with light green walls. His vision was blurry and he realized he did not have his glasses on. Harry cursed silently as the events of the past caught up with him. He took shallow, ragged breaths and saw a nurse of some sort enter.

"How are you Harry?" the nurse asked pleasantly.

"I can't see," Harry mumbled.

"Of course," the nurse replied, turning around then putting his glasses on his face.

"Where am I?" Harry asked.

"You're in a hospital in Washington. After what happened to you two days ago, you definitely need the rest."

Harry thought about what the nurse said when he realized something. "Did you say I was here for two days?"

"Yes and I am surprised because you should have been knocked out for even longer," the nurse said. "Speaking of which, here is a visitor for you," she said as Raven walked in.

"Harry, how are you?" Raven asked, giving him a hug.

"I've been through worse," Harry replied.

"Well, that's nice," Raven said. "Um listen Harry, I want you to meet my boyfriend tonight," she said.

"Are you sure I can leave the hospital today?" he asked.

"Yeah, they said you could leave once you regained consciousness."

Gingerly, Harry got up and walked out of the hospital room with Raven. They then proceeded to leave the hospital. Harry looked at the sky and realized the sun was setting and it was going to be night soon. Raven then grabbed his arm and led him to a restaurant by the hospital. They entered the restaurant where they were greeted by a smiling maitre'd.

"Good evening sir and madam. How can I help you?" he asked with a bow.

"Good evening. We have a reservation for three as the Fichwigert family," Raven said, looking at her watch.

"Of course, I shall lead you to the table," the maitre'd said.

He led them to a small table by the back of the restaurant near the restrooms. A few minutes later Harry saw a somewhat large and muscular man approach their table. The man stopped then kissed Raven on her cheek before he sat down.

"Harry, I would like for you to meet Daniel, my boyfriend," Raven said.

"Nice to meet you," Harry replied, offering a hand Daniel did not take.

"Raven, honey, I have to take you somewhere," Daniel said, barely acknowledging Harry's presence.

"Danny, you promised me," Raven said.

"Yeah well, things change and I have to do this," Daniel said, getting up and grabbing Raven by the arm.

"Let me go Danny," she whispered.

"Hey man, let her go. What's your problem anyway?" Harry asked.

"Hey shut up," Daniel said, pointing to Harry. He then grabbed Raven's forearm and pulled her up.

Harry looked at Daniel again. Daniel was maybe 6'2 to Harry's 6'1 and Daniel seemed to outweigh Harry by over twenty pounds. "She doesn't want to go with you," Harry said, getting up from his chair.

Daniel looked at Harry then let go of Raven's arm. He threw a punch at Harry. Using a combination of his quidditch skills and martial arts training, Harry ducked, grabbed Daniel's hand and twisted it so that Daniel fell to the ground. Harry then placed a knee on Daniel's back and held his arm in an ancient Oriental submission move. Daniel started to scream but Harry held on. Raven watched in shock at first and then she recovered.

"Harry, let him go," she whispered, tugging on his arm.

Reluctantly, Harry let go of Daniel who looked at Harry with fear in his eyes. Daniel ran away from their table as Raven led Harry outside where she immediately started to cry.

Harry wrapped his arms around her and she started to cry on his right shoulder.

"Oh Harry, I'm so sorry. I didn't know he was going to act like that," Raven cried.

"Well, at least he showed his true colors tonight. He never loved you Raven. Everything he said was a big lie," Harry whispered.

Raven continued to sob onto his shoulder. Suddenly, Harry heard a voice he had not heard for a while.

"Harry mate, how are you?" Alegro asked.

"Haven't seen you in a while Alegro," Harry replied.

"Listen Harry, Heidgrimm is on his way here with an army of over a hundred followers. Their plan is to kill as many people as they can and I thought I would warn you," Alegro hissed.

"Thanks Alegro," Harry hissed in reply. Harry then turned to Raven. "Heidgrimm is on his way with over a hundred of his followers. Go get back up and I'll fight them off," Harry said.

Raven quickly hugged Harry tightly and kissed his cheek. "You're so brave, of course I'll go get back up," she whispered before apparating.

Harry stood rigidly as he waited for Heidgrimm and his followers to appear. "Alegro, are you sure about this?" he hissed.

"Harry, of course I'm sure. Just remember one thing- man's ruin. According to myth, a man can be ruined by gambling, alcohol or women," Alegro hissed.

That gave Harry an idea as Heidgrimm and his followers appeared with loud pops. Immediately, they tried to kill all innocent bystanders but Harry had created a complex shield that reflected their curses onto themselves. Within a few minutes, most of Heidgrimm's followers were lying on the ground dead. The remaining two dozen or so looked around in surprise then looked at Heidgrimm, who was busy staring at Harry. A few seconds later, Harry heard several pops and saw Raven standing with about a hundred or so Fallen Saints.

"Harry Potter, you are one of the most brilliant wizards I have ever seen. You are also very powerful. Join me Harry," Heidgrimm said.

"I would never join you or your evil scum," Harry said.

"So be it," Heidgrimm shouted as fighting broke out between both sides. Harry found himself dueling against Heidgrimm again. Heidgrimm sent several dark spells at Harry, who ducked all of them.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Heidgrimm shouted.

Harry ducked and used wandless magic against Heidgrimm. Heidgrimm was able to duck all of the spells but he could tell his followers were losing the fight. They were already outnumbered almost five to one but now this was getting ridiculous. Soon it was Heidgrimm and less than a dozen followers facing over seventy Fallen Saints and Harry.

"Harry Potter, I seek a truce with you," Heidgrimm shouted over the noise.

Everybody stopped fighting as Harry looked up. "What are the terms of this truce?" he asked.

"I shall surrender my wand to the proper authorities and face whatever legal repercussions they want me to face. The same will happen with my followers. You, Harry Potter will go back to wherever you came from and acted like nothing happened."

"No way am I willing to accept that truce," Harry said, looking angry.

Heidgrimm's eyes narrowed in anger. "You shall pay for this Harry Potter," he whispered before sending a curse at Harry, who easily ducked the curse. Within minutes everyone was fighting again and it didn't take long for all of Heidgrimm's followers to get hit with spells that knocked them unconscious.

"STUPEFY!" Harry shouted, trying to hit Heidgrimm with a stunner.

"Harry Potter, you may have won this battle but you will not win the war," Heidgrimm said, ducking Harry's stunner. Heidgrimm took a look at the followers behind him. All of his followers were either dead or unconscious. Heidgrimm growled in anger, then took out his wand. "AVADA KEDAVRA!" he shouted before apparating away, aiming at Raven, who had nowhere to duck.

Harry calmly moved in front of the spell. 'I love you with all my heart Hermione. I'll always be there for you when you need me' he thought as the curse hit him on the chest.
