Ten, X
"What do you think Albus?"
"I think we'd better find a way around her allergy or Harry will not return to the Wizarding world." Albus's eyes were grave.
"What do you mean?"
"The boy clearly holds his mother as the most important thing in his life. If she'll be injured he won't hesitate to drop the potential."
"Don't you mean aunt?" Pomfrey asked. Albus shook his head and replied.
"No, He thinks of her as his mother regardless of their blood relationship." Pomfrey nodded.
"What makes you think we can get around the allergy at all?" She could not think of anything, she was not used to dealing with allergies. No Medi-wizard was.
"I can only hope that there is something out there." Albus paused. "Some magical, or in this case anti-magical artefact that will protect her."
"Is there really something like that out there?" Albus sighed.
"I don't know, But if there is." He paused, "We must find it before Harry will agree to come to Hogwarts."
"How would we get it to her?" Pomfrey asked.
Jezibel turned to look back at Senku. He was sitting on the log and smiling encouragingly. She turned back to the cave and took an apprehensive step forward. She suddenly felt dizzy. Pomfrey was next to her in a moment with a wand pointed. The matron whispered something under her breath and Jezibel felt better. Jezibel took two more steps before turning on her torch. The beam of light seemed nearly inadequate but just held up.
"Do you know if this will work?" Jezibel could not help but whisper. She felt like she was in an action movie.
"I am not sure, but it is rumored that there is a stone within this cave that will stop all magic." Professor Dumbledore said. Jezibel jumped. She had not noticed the man enter the cave as well.
"Is there a way to tell for sure?" Her nerves were on edge and the sweat running down her back did not help.
"Once we find the stone, we will have to test it." Albus replied. Jezibel nodded and continued through the cave. She nearly tripped on a stalagmite.
A few minutes later, the small party stopped at a small hole in the back wall. Jezibel turned when Pomfrey and Dumbledore stopped at the edge.
"What is it?"
"I think whatever is in there is it." Pomfrey said. She looked reluctant to move any closer. "It feels strange." Dumbledore nodded in agreement.
"I do believe that this is what we are looking for. Go on in." He gestured kindly, "We will wait here."
Jezibel noticed that Pomfrey stopped pointing her want at Jezibel. She felt a slight itch in the back of her nose. She took a cautious step further into the hole. The itch started to recede. She turned around and steeled herself when she saw both the wizards gently waving her further. The hole was another tunnel. This one carvings along the walls. She could not make out what they were. The tunnel suddenly opened up into a small room with a pedestal at the center. The pedestal was empty.
Jezibel took a glance around and noticed that many of the stones littering the floor were smokey obsidian. It was an unusual color for obsidian though. There was a slight red tint. Jezibel slowly knelt to pick up one of the stones. As soon as she touched it she felt a wave go through her from her feet up her legs, through her torso and out into the obsidian. She coughed as the feeling caused her lungs to flutter.
"Jezibel. Are you alright?" Pomfrey called from the doorway.
"Yeah." She called back. "I just felt funny for a moment."
"Hurry back. You might be reacting to something." Pomfrey called again.
"Just a moment." Jezibel replied and turned her attention to the obsidian in her hand. It was rough on one side and round and smooth on the other. She flipped it in her hand a couple of times before grasping it gently and making her way back to the tunnel.
The trio quickly made their way out of the caves and into the late day sun. Senku saw them walk out and smiled brightly before shouting "kaa-san" happily. Jezibel smiled back
"Daijobu." she said reassuringly. "I am good." She repeated. Senku nodded.
"So shall we test it?" Dumbledore asked kindly. Jezibel nodded and held out the stone. Both of the wizards backed away. Senku smiled at the behavior.
"How about you set it on the ground and we will try casting spells." Pomfrey said, looking at the stone warily. Jezibel nodded and set the stone down. As soon as she let go of it, she became dizzy but tried not to show it.
"Windgardium Leviosa." Dumbledore said while swishing and flicking. The stone remained flat on the ground. More spells came and through it all the stone seemed unaffected.
"Yatta!" Senku shouted after the tenth spell.
"It seems that this is indeed the artifact we are looking for." Albus said with a smile, the twinkle in his eye seemed to brighten. "Now if you could just collect the artefact and we'll be on our way."
"How are we going to get it back to England?" Pomfrey asked. The question stopped Albus dead. He paused to think about it.
"It seems that we will have to arrange for Muggle transportation." He answered as he transfigured a pebble into an off-road vehicle.
The group moved to the vehicle and stopped to stare at the pebble that it reverted to once Jezibel touched it. Jesibel sighed.
"Looks like we're walking."
"Never fear, I will be but a moment," Albus said before popping out. The group looked at each other before finding places to sit and wait for the headmaster to return.
This time the popping noise had a hollow ring to it. Jezibel looked at the tour jeep with driver that appeared with Albus.
"Won't they just go back to where they came from?"
"The theory is that they won't." Albus said smiling, "This is Iguassu." He continued and indicated the driver. "He is a tour guide for this area."
The man was looking around with his eyes wide open. He whispered something in Portuguese and quickly crossed himself.
Jezibel stood and tentatively touched the jeep. She sighed in relief when it did not vanish.
"Nice to meet you Iguassu, I'm Jezibel." She said cheerily as she swung herself into the back seat. "This little one is Senku." She gestured for Senku to join them.
"It's a prheasure to meet you." Senku said with a bow and joined Jezibel in the back of the jeep. Albus and Pomfrey also piled in and the jeep was off. The guide was very quiet and seemed to drive as if the devil was riding his coat-tales. It took some time and was one wild ride, but they made it back to civilization. The guide stopped just in city limits.
"Out." He said coolly. The group piled out and headed for the air-port. Soon fabricated ID's and a touch of persuasion later, Senku and Jezibel were on a plane heading for London.
"We will meet you in London," Albus said before he and Pomfrey disappeared with a pop.
AN:
Well This took a while, I could give you reasons that it did, but I don't want to bore you. So instead I'd like to thank HecateDeMort, I'll try, Shadow, He is going to go to Hogwarts, Bobboky, It's a good a theory as any hehe, Yin.Yang.Sisters, I'm thinking due to the hassles, Jez is going back to Japan and Harry will come back for the summer, ClassicDrogn, Just wait and see, I do admit, the differences in year one won't be quite as big, so I think. Curalium Lacrimo, Harry's accent annoys the hell out of me too, I just feel it's necessary, as time goes by it'll fade, but come back when he's tired or isn't working at his enunciation. Animegurl088 and magicalbrat, Thanks ALL :-)
