CHAPTER 2: ATTACK!

The next morning Harry awoke to find that Ron had gone down to breakfast, so he quickly got dressed and went to go join him. When he got downstairs he saw Ron and Hermione sitting at the table, and Mrs. Weasley fixing breakfast. Ron was looking disgruntled, and when Harry asked him what was wrong he jerked his head in the direction of his mother.

"She's been giving me funny looks all morning! It's driving me INSANE!"

Harry laughed, but suddenly stopped when he saw Lupin's head appear in the fireplace looking very frightened. "Quick kids, go get Mrs. Weasley!"

Hermione stood up and ran to get her (she was waking everybody up), and when she came back he looked even more agitated. "Molly! I need you to get everyone out of the house, NOW! We just got word that Voldemort is coming after Harry! Hurry!"

Hermione was staring out the window, and said, "Too late…"

She was right. They all rushed over to the window and saw him standing the Weasley's front yard bearing his wand and shield. Lupin said "I'll get the rest of the Order and we'll take care of this!" And with that he was gone. Harry was furious. "How dare he attack me here!" And before anyone could stop him he has his wand in hand and was out the door. They could hear him yelling things like "How dare you!", and trying to bring him down with curses, but Voldemort had his shield.

Finally Voldemort smirked, and his red eyes seemed to glow for a moment as he laughed. 'Just like my dream…'

After a moment he stopped laughing and looked Harry in the eye. "So you think you can bring me down with simple jinxes, boy?" Then he hit Harry with a leg-locker curse, and he fell. Mrs. Weasley started to go to him, but Ron and Hermione help her back, pointing at the sky and shouting "Look!"

It was a dragon, but nothing like any dragon they had ever seen. It was a beautiful scarlet, with gold tinting here and there, and fierce blue eyes. It landed with Harry between its front legs. Harry froze, and he began to think 'Maybe if I just lie here and don't move it won't notice me', when he realized that Voledemort's face had gone white (whiter than normal), as though he was afraid. Suddenly the dragon began to speak, but for some reason that didn't surprise Harry. He knew there was something special about this dragon. It spoke in parseltongue to Voldemort, and in a mocking tone.

"Why, you look like you've seen a ghost, Tom. Weren't you expecting to see me so soon? Well, by the look on your face I suppose not. Now, I think you'd better run off with your tail between your legs before I get really angry."

He looked livid, and only said one thing. "You can't protect them forever." He then disapparated. Hermione hit Harry with a counter curse from her hiding place, and Harry slowly started to back away. Suddenly most of the Order apparated in behind him. This got the dragon's attention, and when Lupin and Mad-Eye saw it they gasped. The dragon had a sad look in it's eyes, and seemed to smile at their gasps.

Suddenly it shrunk to the size of a human, and in just a moment took on a human form. Harry and Ron gasped when they saw who it was. It was the woman from their dreams! She had the same dress and cuts. Indeed she seemed to have even more cuts and bruises.

She turned to the members of the Order. She only said two words before she smiled, then turned pale and fainted. "Miss me?"

Lupin sprang forward. "We have to get her to St. Mungos!" Tonks ran forward with Mrs. Weasley to help him, but Mad-Eye stopped them.

"She'll die before we get her there. Lupin, you help me get her inside. Tonks, you go get the best healer and tell him it's an emergency. GO!"

Ten minutes later they had the mysterious woman on a bed, and Tonks came running in with an old man who was screaming "Everybody out!"

Mrs. Weasley turned her attention to Mad-Eye and Kingsley. "You two ought to head back now… We'll tell you how she is." Then she turned back to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Ron looked furious. "So are you gonna tell us who she is now?"

Lupin sighed, and Tonks put her hand on his arm. Mrs. Weasley looked at him, and he nodded. She took a deep breath and said, "Well boys, I don't know how to tell you this but, she's your godmother."

Cliffie! Yay! Please don't hate me! I'll write more when I get some reviews. The empress has spoken!
