Chapter 17

An Unwelcome Crowd of Guests

"REMUS!" The angry Veela exclaimed.

"B...But...How can you be here? You're...You're over there" said Remus pointing to where another Hannah was using a Vanishing Spell on her self to get away from Peters clutches.

The other Hannah, now resebling a very very angry veela said "Shows how little you know Remus, darling. you see, youre not the only one who has secrets..."

Remus's eyes widened...she knew?

"Oh i dont mean about you being a werewolf..." said Hannah her transformed eyes glistening with anger. "I'm talking about your OTHER secret"

Remus gave a small whimper.

------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey...Sirius"

"Ah...the fair Arabella"

"Look...Look at Lily and James"

"They look perfect dont they?" Sirius asked

"Just like you an me" thought Arabella to herself

-----------------------------------------------------------

"This is how it should be" Lily thought as she danced with James. The night had been absolutely perfect. The mood, the music...and James of course...

"Just what i need" thought Lily has James and she began dancing to their seventeenth song.

Lily, who had very sharp ears, was distracted by a small 'snick' which seemed to be coming from the door.

before she had time to think, the door was flung open, and in walked twenty hooded figures, wands out.

Every one gasped. Death Eaters had come to The Manor.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, Remus?" said Hannah

"You...youre a...a..."

"Thats right Remus...i'm not only a Veela, I'm also a Dualate" she replied

"A Dualate" Remus repeated, in shock.

"A witch who can be at two places at once." Hannah assured him

"Er..." said Remus "Why are you angry, Hannah?"

"You didnt tell anyone. You could have saved them."

"I know." said Remus "I'm sorry"

"You just..."

But Hannah was inturrupted by the flinging open of the door, and the appearence of around twenty Death Eaters.

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Stupefy" James said and pointed his wand at the nearest Death Eater who stumbled and froze. Lily, James, Arabella, Sirius, Alexia, Shaye, Miranda, Marie, Hannah (who had become one person again once she had seen the peril) and Remus were on their feet fighting the Death Eaters. Everyone else was either hiding under tables and chairs or had run out when the Death Eaters had appeared.

"Impedimedia!" "Tarantallegra!" "Furnuculus!" Various curses were hurled into the air by the ten brave tenagers to avoid the illegal curses thrown by the fully grown Death Eaters.

"Protego!" James yelled as Lily ducked around him and yelled "Petrificus Totalus" to a death eater who was about to kill Hannah.

The Death Eaters were quick and experienced and the teenagers were outnumbered. But with Lily, Sirius, Arabella and James they neednt have worried. Lily was quick with Charms and used as many as she could. They were quite effective as well. Sirius knew all the curses and hexes in "Useful Spells To Tacle Your Enimies" Arabella was the queen of pranks and spells at Beauxbatons and James was the biggest prankster in Hogwarts. Not for nothing.

"Stupefy!" yelled James at a Death Eater who was aiming at Peter. The Death Eater lost his balance and the spell hit the table under which Peter was hiding, causing it to shatter.

Lily jumped onto another table and aimed six or seven Leg Locker Curses to Death Eaters all around. Meanwhile, Sirius was disarming as many as he could.

The Disarming Spell, The Leg Locker Curse and the Full Body Bind were used frequently as they were useful. Then, Sirius discovered another usefull spell. "Incarcerous!" he said as a Death Eater pulled out his wand to perform the killing curse on James. The Death Eater was bound up in tight ropes and fell struggling to the ground. As he did, his hood slid off his face, showing Sirius who he was.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Twenty cloaked grown ups lay on the ground, most of them unconcious. One owl belonging to Shaye Evans was on its way to Dumbledore.

Ten brave an apprehensive teenagers stood over the unconcious bodies, just having won a dangerous battle.

One other teen lay whimpering in a corner. Lord Voldemorts supporters had been beaten by a bunch of fourteen year olds!

After alerting the Ministry of Magic and taking care of the Death Eaters, Albus Dumbledore surveyed the group with a smile.

"You have shown bravery beyond anything I have ever seen before" he told them "But I expected you to go home to your respective families for the summer. You would have been safer there."

Lily and the Marauders gulped.

"However, I think you have proved that you can handle a dangerous situation without putting your familes in danger, which I have to say is something good. But now, i think its time you leave the house. It isnt safe for you to be here anymore. The Manor will be under constant surveylance from Voldemorts supporters.

"Do we have to go home, now Proffessor?" Lily said meekly

"No, Miss Evans. Lord Voldemort will have your homes under constant watch too." he said. "dont worry" he added after seeing the look on Arabella's face "We'll be gaurding your homes so your families will be safe. But it seems to me, Lily, James, Sirius, Remus and Peter will have to stay at Hogwarts over the summer"

"Oh cant we come too, Proffessor?" Arabella said pleadingly

"I'm afraid not Miss Figg. You must go back to Beauxbatons. I shall write to Madame Maxime.

Arabella looked crest fallen, but Dumbledore, seeing the look on her face said "It isnt wise to put yourself in danger, Miss Figg."

"Um...Proffessor?" said Remus "Why are we in danger? Why are they after us?"

"That..." said Proffessor Dumbledore "will be told to you once we reach school. Which reminds me...we should leave at once!"

Dumbledore opened the door and told the other six teens that he would escort them home.

Eleven teenagers set off into the night with Albus Dumbledore, all knowing that their lives had been changed forever.
