Allanah looked at Harry and they both just laughed. Leaving a very confused room of people.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX"Em… Harry I'm not so sure about this!" Said Allanah as they went out into the back garden with their new broomsticks.
Harry looked at her and said "Don't worry, I'll catch you if you fall."
"Hmm…where have I heard that before?" She said sarcastically.
They walked into the middle of the garden and then Harry explained to her everything madam Hooch told them in their first lesson. Allanah stood by the broom but out her hand and said 'up'. Nothing happened.
"O.k. so I suck at this! No biggy. I can deal." She said it calmly but Harry could tell she was disappointed.
"Here. Let me help you." He walked up behind her put his hand over hers and they both said 'up' and it flew up into their hands. She looked at him and said "Thanks"
"No problem. I happen to be pretty good at this." He said blushing a little and going over to his broom and mounting it, telling her to do the same.
"Hey Harry is this at all like riding a horse?" she asked as she hovered 10 feet above the ground.
"Emm…kinda, but this is easier." He answered flying over to her.
"Well then I should be pretty good! Come on fly around a bit and I'll follow you." She said laughing.
"O.k. but I'll go easy on you." He said grinning at the look on her face.
"Well if this is anything like horse riding, then you wont have too!" she said flying up and hitting him on the back of the head.
"Fine! If that's the way you want it!" he said as he shot off and she followed. He did loops, sharp turns, flew backwards, upside down but he couldn't shake her. He turned to her and said, "Hey I thought you didn't know how to fly?"
"I didn't but I do know how to horse ride, which is a lot harder, so I guess I'm pretty good at this huh?" she laughed.
"Pretty good? Your not pretty good you're better then most of the people I've played" he said impressed.
"Well let's see if I'm better than you shall we?" She said still laughing.
"Your serous aren't you?" He asked.
"Nope I'm me. Sorry to disappoint you." She said smiling.
Harry rolled his eyes at her but took off anyway. He flew around super fast with sharp turns and dives but she kept up with him. Getting frustrated he did a wronski feint.
He dived down as fast as he could with her on his tail just as he was about to hit the ground he pulled up waiting for a crunch but none came he turned around but was shocked to see Allanah still on his tail with a huge grin on her face.
"I wouldn't say better but we're definitely about even." Said Harry as they came down to land. When they came down Allanah had an idea.
"O.k. I've got an idea! Lets get Remus and Sirius down here to fire hexes at use, we have to dodge as many as we can, and the person with the most hits looses." Said Allanah to Harry as they dismounted.
"O.k. sure. Sounds good. I'll go get them." And with that he went in and came out 2 minutes later with Sirius and Remus who were both grinning. So they paired up. Harry and Remus against Allanah and Sirius. They had thirty seconds to get going and then the others would start o fire hexes at them.
They kicked off and thirty seconds later they were dodging all sorts of hexes! Harry was doing amazingly well with Remus firing hexes at him. He pulled all sorts of moves and hadn't gotten hit yet.
Allanah was doing unbelievably well. Sirius just couldn't hit her no matter how hard he tried. She was pulling ridiculously hard stunts. She stood up on her broom to avoid a red stunner and then did a handstand to avoid the second. She did a back flip off the broom to avoid a string of hexes and then landed back on it. She did a one handed cartwheel to miss a freezing charm and then jumped in the air doing four 360 turns and then landing again on her feet to miss a cutting hex.
She looked up and Harry was above her avoiding shots from Remus and she could have sworn she heard Sirius saying 'no fair! I wanna switch partners!' but she could have imagined it.
An hour and a half they came down and called it a tie.
After dinner which was chicken kiev and pasta with carrots and mushrooms curtsey of the Italian restaurant down the road. Harry and Allanah went into their rooms to pack. They were leaving for Hogwarts tomorrow and hadn't packed till now. Well they were busy! Not really but anyway.
"Hey Harry!" Called Allanah from her open door.
"Yeh" Harry called back.
"How many pets are you allowed to bring?"
"Erm…I'm not sure. If your wondering about Cleo, just keep her hidden and you should be fine." Harry answered back then returning to his packing. 10 minutes later Allanah came in.
"Hiya. You finished yet?" She asked from the door.
"No" He answered, "I'm still trying to fit everything in!"
"Ha! Well who would have thought that the boy who grew up with nothing would be complaining about not having enough room." She said as she punched him playfully on the arm.
"Yeh I know…It's great isn't it?" He said smiling. He had gotten over all bitterness for the Dursleys when Allanah told him 'there's no point bitching about the past, it just wastes the present'
"Well finish up! I wanna go get ice-cream!" She said walking over and picking up his potions book.
"I would but it's kinda hard." He replied looking at his trunk.
"Fine. Step aside I'll do it." She said with a sigh and waved her hands making everything shrink, fold and fly into the trunk which closed with a click.
Harry looked at her and said in an annoyed tone "Why didn't you do that in the first place?"
"Oh. I just thought it would be funny to watch you pack and then get annoyed," she
Laughed
"You are nuts. Do you know that?" he asked looking at her.
"Yep! Now come on. I want ice-cream." She said dragging him to the door.
"But? I'm not allowed leave?" said Harry
"Who cares? Listen if anything happens I'll make sure nothing happens to you. O.k.?" She said looking at him.
"Hey it's not me who came up with the rules. I hate them!" He said exasperated.
"Yeh. God I'd feel sorry for ya, but that's not what you need. What you need it to be treated like a normal teenager. So lets go out and be normal teenagers?" she said handing him his coat and walking to the front door.
He smiled and put on his coat then asked. "What if someone from the order recognizes us?"
"Hmm…" She thought, "I know I'll disguise us. Stand here."
She waved her hands over the both of them and they both looked like they aged 5 years. Each looked to be about 21.
"Cool." Smiled Harry opening the door.
"Yeh it comes in handy sometimes, come on!" she dragged him out into the street and they walked to the ice-cream parlour.
At the parlour Harry 'accidentally' spilt his drink over the waiter who made a pass at Allanah making her burst out laughing. Then they went to a fun park and went on all the rides laughing. When they were there they saw Tonks and some guy on a date and decided to play a prank on them.
Harry changed 2 of their tickets into FBI badges and they went up to the guy and introduced themselves as agents Moulder and Scully. They pretended to be asking him if he saw any aliens lately and the poor guy fell for it! In the end they walked off saying ' we'll contact you, don't contact us!' When they were out of sight
They both burst out into hysterical laughter.
At 8 O'clock they decided to go back to Grimauld place. When they got to the street they saw something that made them stop however. About 20 death eaters were on the street obviously looking for something. Sssh went Harry as they hid behind a dumpster.
Suddenly one of the deatheaters did a spell that made a red dome appear around the street and Allanah gasped.
Harry looked at her and whispered "What? What's wrong?"
"That's a dominium dome! Harry that dome dampens the magic that comes off magical creatures and objects. It was invented to allow wizards to keep their magic and nothing else." She whispered back urgently.
"What? Why would they…Oh!" he whispered, realization coming to him.
"Exactly. Harry I can't use my magic to send them away and in about 20 minutes the charm on the house is going to come down and Sirius and Remus are still inside! We have to do something."
"But what? There's 20 of them and 2 of us plus you don't have magic and they do!"
"O.k. here's what we do! You transfigure anything you can think of and hurl it at them, I'll go out and take down as many as I can."
"What? No that's a bad idea. I'm not letting you go out on your own. Your good Allanah but your not that good."
"Harry! Listen to me. You cannot under any circumstances get caught. Do you under stand me? I'll lead them down somewhere else away from you and you are going to do everything in your power to not to get caught. Get it?"
"No! You are not doing that! They'll kill you!" He said urgently.
"Harry…" She stopped there because just then she sneezed loudly "Oh shit! Bye!" she ran out from behind he dumpster and into a barrage of on coming hexes from the deatheaters. Harry transfigured everything he could find into large rocks and hurled them at the deatheaters.
She did a back flip to avoid a string of hexes then unsheathed two of her daggers and threw them at two deatheaters killing them instantly. Harry had taken down 4 deatheaters with two large boulders but he was running out of things to use.
Allanah took out one of her axes and used it to block the hexes. She threw a dagger with the other. 13 deatheaters left. She punched one knocking him unconscious but another came up behind her and grabbed her arms. She headerd him hearing a crunch where her head broke his nose. Then she spun around and kicked him in the face and shoved him in front of 5 hexes aimed at her.
She turned around just in time to see a huge boulder flying at her! She ducked and it missed her only to go crashing into 3 deatheaters knocking them out. She Glared at Harry who mimed 'Sorry' to her.
8 deatheaters were left. Two charged at her but she jumped into the air kicking them both in the face sending them staggering backwards. Then she finished one off with a roundhouse kick and the other by grabbing the back of his robes and using him as a human shield to block a wall of curses sent her way. She could literally smell the dark energy on the hexes and they where getting stronger by the minute.
There was only 6 deatheaters left. Her eyes widened as one of them sent an explosion curse at her. The explosion curse was once used by miners but was banned do to too many accidents. The dark red curse hit just in front of her sending her flying backwards into and breaking a red brick wall 50 meters back
She groaned and looked up only to have time for her eyes to widen before the top half of the wall broke off and smashed down on top of her. Harry gasped and looked on in horror as the curse threw Allanah back into the wall and then made the wall smashed down on top of her.
He screamed "NO!" And ran over to the wall but unfortunately this also got the remaining deatheaters attention. One of them shot a purple binding curse at him making his arms and legs snap together. The remaining 6 deatheaters walked over to him and looked at him.
"Aaaw… sorry about your girlfriend Potter. It was a pity too! I haven't had such a good duel in ages. You'll wish you were joining her by the time we're done with you." The rest of the deatheaters laughed. And one of them aimed their wands at him and said, "Where is the head quarters of the order?"
Harry mad no move to answer. Just as the deatheater lifted up his hand to strike Harry, they heard a groaning noise from under the pile of bricks.
"Not possible!" Said the second deatheater.
They heard the groaning again and this time the bricks started to move.
"No Way! That blast would have killed her and even if it didn't the wall would have!" said the third.
The bricks were pushed off and Allanah Stood up and twisted her neck making a very painful cracking noise. She looked down at her clothes, which got burned in the blast and cursed out loud.
She looked up at the stunned deatheaters and said in an angry voice, "Right! That is it! Not more misses nice girl! You sons of a bitch! You ruined my clothes!"
The deatheaters all looked stunned and one said, "Who are you?"
She glared at him and said, "Now? Now you want to make with the pleasantries? Well you can bloody well fuck off with that!"
Just as she finished, 3 of the deatheaters fired hexes at her. She dodged them and punched one in the chest so hard he was sent flying backwards. She did an airborne cartwheel to avoid another string of hexes.
She unsheathed both her axes and spun around using the back of one to hit a deatheater on the back of the head knocking him out. Then she threw the second axe over her shoulder at one of the deatheaters who was aiming a shot at Harry killing the deatheater instantly.
There were 3 left. She walked up to one of the deatheaters and punched her in the nose then brought back her elbow and smashed it into one of the deatheaters coming up behind her. She flipped the deatheater behind her into the one in front making them both land in a heap.
She turned around onto the one that was left and walked towards him. He seemed frozen on the spot. She grabbed him by the throat and made him to unfreeze Harry and to take down the 'dominium dome'.
They did it just in time too because you could see no.12 flicker in and out of existence. Once the dome was down Allanah threw the deatheater into the bonnet a car smashing it and making the alarm go off. She walked over to Harry only to collapse in front of him causing him to catch her and lift her up.
Just then about 15 pops were heard as order members apperated in. Looking around shocked at the site before them.
There were about 15 large rocks all over the street, a huge smoking crater where the explosion curse hit Allanah and the bodies of either unconscious or dead deatheaters everywhere. And there standing in the middle was Harry who returned to his normal age when the dome was put up, holding up a burned and very badly bruised Allanah.
"Sweet Merlin! What happened?" Asked Tonks as she took in the wreckage around her. "Merlin Harry! Harry are you o.k?"
"Yeh. Fine thanks. I don't think I can say the same for Allanah though." He said looking from Tonks to the now unconscious Allanah.
"Oh my God! What happened to her?" Asked a hysterical Molly Weasley.
"Eeh…" Harry said looking around. They got the message needles to say.
"Harry what were you thinking coming out here? You could have been killed. You should have stayed in the house where you were safe?" Said a serious looking Dumbledore.
"No you see we were on our way back when we say all the deatheaters on the street. We hid behind a dumpster. Allanah was about to send them all where ever they came from, but one of them cast a red dome around the street." He said looking a little strained from holding up Allanah for so long.
He gently put her down on the road. He folded his coat and put it under her head as a pillow. Then stood up again and finished. Dumbledore looked pensive for a minute.
"Red dome, did you say Harry?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes sir. She called it a 'Dominium' something or other." A few gasps were heard and Harry looked to Dumbledore.
"A Dominium dome?" Dumbledore asked Harry who nodded. "Yes that would explain why she didn't send you to away immediately. You see Harry; a dominium dome is a very advanced ward that dampens the magic of magical objects and creatures."
"Yeh. That's what she said it was. She said we had to take it down or else the spells on Grimwauld Place would fall." Said Harry.
"Hmm…yes! Well you see being trapped inside a dominium dome is extremely painful for any magical creature. I believe the 'crutacius' is the wizarding alternative. Yes and I believe that she was correct in her assumption that the spell would fail with long term exposure as well." Said Dumbledore "But if Tom has figured this out then we shall have to place more extreme measures on it to prevent the effect of the dome."
"Wait! So you expect me to believe that Potter and some 16 year old girl did all this?" Said Moody looking around "While she was under the pain of the 'crutacius'?"
"Yes old friend that is exactly what I expect you to believe." Said Dumbledore.
Just then there was a big bang as the door to Grimauld place was blown open! Out stepped Remus and Sirius. The two of them looked around shocked. Remus was holding an old dusty book in one of his hands.
"What the bloody hell happened?" Asked a shocked Sirius. "We heard an explosion but we couldn't get out someone had sealed the door. The only way we could get out was to blow it open."
"Deatheater attack!" Said Tonks.
Sirius opened his mouth to ask something else but stopped when he saw Allanah.
"Merlin! Is she o.k?" He gasped
Remus slapped his upside the head saying, " Of course she's not o.k. Padfoot! Look at her!"
Everyone tuned to Allanah and to everyone's surprise she started glowing. Harry ran over to her and kneeled down beside her looking very worried.
Then Remus yelled " Harry! No! Don't touch her!" But he was too late.
Harry had placed a hand on her forehead. Suddenly there was a bright flash and they both started floating 3 feet above the ground. Then her eyes snapped open and………HA! You'll have to wait and see! Won't you?
