Hey! This is quidditchgirl13. Sorry I took so much time to update! I had a little writer's block. Sorry for leaving you hanging! Anyway, without further ado, here's Chapter 6.
DISCLAIMER: Do I need to say it?Anything that's JK Rowling's isn't mine. Even HBP is hers!
Chapter 6
Dumbledore was fighting a dozen Death Eaters in his office, along with Tonks and Kingsley Shacklebolt. McGonagall had turned a deathly pale and had started fighting. The trio and Parvati started throwing spells at them.
"STUPEFY!" Harry roared at a lady Death Eater. She was hit by surprise. Tonks stunned the last Death Eater. Everyone then calmed down.
"Professor, what did you want to see us about?" Hermione asked.
"There is good and bad news." grimly Dumbledore said. "Miss Patil, your sister is safe with us as are your parents. Harry, I am sorry to say this, but your aunt was killed"
Surprisedly, Harry's eyes widened and Dumbledore said, "If you three would not mind, I'd like to talk to Harry alone. You may head back."
A half an hour later, Harry walked back to the Common Room with a white face and looked as if he had been crying. Parvati, Ron, and Hermione ran to him and sat him down by the fireplace. A while earlier, the students had been permitted to leave the Common Room (but not to go out of the castle besides the courtyard), so it was empty.
"What happened, Harry?" Hermione asked, looking scared.
"You know that my aunt died!" Harry snapped. Hermione and Ron exchanged significant glances and looked horrified as if they had realized something.
"Harry, can I tell Parvati?" Hermione asked him a moment later.
"Might as well. Go tell her. She should know about me." Harry muttered.
"Tell me what?" Parvati asked. She wondered what she didn't know about Harry as Hermione took her to the courtyard.
"Parvati, you must know something about Harry…" Hermione said, and she told Parvati about the prophecy.
Parvati was shocked. Harry had a hard life without that looming over his head. He wasn't even safe anymore. He had to fight Voldemort. He was the only one who could save the world.
"That… is harsh on a 16-year-old" Parvati said quietly.
"I know." Hermione replied. "Harry said that you have a right to know that it's dangerous to be around him. What's worse, he has no blood protection anymore."
"Let's go inside to check on him." Parvati told her and they walked back.
"Parvati, don't tell anyone about this." Hermione said.
"Parvati, I know what you're going to say. Go ahead, leave." Harry said sadly.
"Of course I'm not leaving! I want you to know that I'll always be there for you. Don't ever hesitate to come to me with your problems. You can't keep your emotions bottled up." Parvati told him reassuringly. She then hugged him.
"Parvati, thanks for being there when I most need you." Harry thanked her.
The trio and Parvati spent the remainder of the day talking and laughing by the lake. Parvati sent Shiva with a message to Padma, telling her to meet her in the courtyard at 7.
7:00 came quickly and Parvati hurried to the courtyard.
"Padma!" she squealed. "I'm so glad you're safe! I was so worried you would be killed! Please tell me what happened!" Parvati cried, as she ran over to hug her sister. Padma smiled and hugged her and they sat down.
"A Death Eater kidnapped me in the night when I was taking a walk just before curfew. Other students were there and probably alerted Dumbledore. They took me through the Forbidden Forest on a broom once they tied me down. We went to some weird house on a hill overlooking a graveyard. It looked abandoned. We went inside. I realized this was the headquarters for the Death Eaters. The house had a scary, eerie feel to it. Inside I saw a lady with a long neck and blonde hair, a huge boy about our age that looked really scared, and a man who resembled the boy, his dad, with a beefy face and little neck that was screaming with a red face, but appeared to have been silenced. I was tied up and put next to the Muggle family. It was disgusting. We saw Voldemort talking to his Death Eaters and giving them Muggle blood to drink. Then he said they would kill us, and kill you to make Harry angry. That's a long story. Anyway, Voldemort left. A few minutes later, Dad and Mum along with some other members of the Order (A/N: Yes they're part of the Order in my story)and some aurors came and fought the Death Eaters. The only lady Death Eater killed the blonde lady with Avada Kedavra. Mum and Dad took a portkey with the two Muggles and me. We got into Dumbledore's office and he was fighting off Death Eater's so I ran to the Common Room as directed and the Muggles, Mum and Dad went somewhere. I have no idea where, but they're safe." Padma said, completing her story. Parvati told her what had happened at Hogwarts in that time.
"Merlin, this is scary!" Padma exclaimed. "The world isn't that safe as I thought."
"Well, duh Padma!" Parvati cried. "The second war has begun, and this time we'll fight."
Well, what'd you think? Please Review:-)
