Chapter Three

Harry turned.

" Running away are we? That's a shame, your name was the easiest to remember." Jess waggled her finger.

Harry stepped back a few steps.

" Well, I don't blame you. That Dud something rather, was really weird."

" Why are you following me?" Harry raised his wand up, and Jess eyed it's upward raising.

" I'm not following you, and if I were, what are you going to do? Poke me with your stick? Honestly, you should get some pepper spray, or Oust for that matter...better yet, don't come out late at night."

" Why are you following me?" Harry repeated.

" I'm not following you!" Jess got a little snappy this time around.

" Then what are you doing out here?"

" Taking my dog out! He barks at every hour of night unless he gets what he wants!"

" What dog?"

" This- oh crap!" Jess lifted her leash, only to find nothing on the end.

" Smokey! Smokey! Come here!" She yelled.

" Shhhhhhh! You're going to wake the neighbors!" Harry covered her mouth.

" Mmmmm! Lmmmmm! Grrrrrrrr!"

" What?" Harry let go.

" NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!" She screamed.

" Fine! But will you shut up!" Harry started to go red in the face, and Jess did the oppisite. Her face was deathly pale.

" Jess?"

" Shhhh!" This time Jess did the covering of the mouth and added the shoving behind a bush factor.

" What the-"

" Listen!"

Harry cocked his head toward the air.

Crack. Crack. Crack.

Jess reached behind her back.

Harry gripped his wand.

" Stay here." He instructed.

He crouched down, slowly scooting toward the edge of the bush.

KA-BOOM!

Harry and Jess were thrown away from the shrub.

Harry got to his feet. " Expell-"

The Deatheaters threw another curse.

Jess stood too.

" Get back down!" Harry commanded.

" Oh, shut up already!" Jess finished pulling something from behind her back, a knife.

" That won't help!"

" Oh really?"

Jess expertly flung it at the dark objects. It soared threw the air, Harry could almost hear a high-pitched whistle.

The Deatheaters focused so much on Harry, they didn't see the knife coming.

It hit one of them in it's wand arm.

" And that's how ya get it done!" Jess cheered to herself.

" Jess, don't do that again!" Harry said, although surprised by the out come.

Then he saw something horrifying.

" Jess!"

Jess turned her gaze on Harry. Wrong move.

A bright light came toward her.

She was hurled to the ground.

Harry crawled over to her.

" Jess!"

" Aggg..."

" Jess?"

" That hurt."

" Your still alive?"

" Yes, you idiot!"

" Grab on to my arm, tightly! And what ever you do don't let go!"

Jess did as she was told.

Harry stood both of them up, then spun quickly.
