Here's chapter ten guy's, sorry it took so long but my computer was screwy. Enjoy.
Rounding the next corner, he stopped so quickly he lost his footing and fell to the floor. He stared at the hideous sight before him; Jessica was pinned beneath a slimy green monster that looked like a giant mound of Jell- O. The jelly monster had bit into her neck and seemed to be feeding on her blood. Every time she moved, the monster jiggled and tightened his grip on her.
Jessica turned her head slightly and stared at Harry through glazed eyes; she tried to say something but didn't seem able too.
The pain in Harry's stomach had become almost unbearable, but the thought of Jessica dieing seemed to bring him back to reality. He stood and powered up. Now in Mystic Knight Form he ran forward and tackled the demon.
Ron, Hermione and Neville rounded the same corner he had moments earlier, and stopped dead in their tracks.
Neville gasped as he saw Harry and the demon wrestling on the ground. Of course, Neville had no idea it was Harry because the usual metallic helmet was covering his head, but he seemed just as surprised to see it. "What?who?" he asked Hermione and Ron dumbly.
"He's a Mystic Knight," Ron said without thinking, and then quickly added, "I mean whoever that guy is, he's a Mystic Knight."
Hermione elbowed Ron in the ribs; hard. "Ron," she hissed, "Why did you have to tell him that?"
Neville didn't seem to have heard Hermione's comment; he was too busy watching the jelly monster and the Mystic Knight fight. "A Mystic Knight," he whispered in awe, "I always thought they were only legend, my gran said they were real. Told me she was saved by one once, i thought it was just a bed time story."
Harry was pinned under the jelly monster now, and it was trying to suck his blood like it had done with Jessica. Lucky for Harry though, his helmet covered his head and neck. And try as the monster might it just couldn't bite through the metal. Harry, using the creatures' momentary shock to his advantage, reared back and knocked the creature off of him. It flew through the air and hit the wall exploding into a million tiny jelly bits.
Harry, thinking he had won, dusted off his hands and stood up. Turning he saw Ron, Hermione and Neville staring at him.
Without saying a word he strode to Jessica's side and knelt next to her, "You Ok?" he asked, relieved that the pain in his stomach had dulled considerably. When she nodded, he looked up at Ron, Hermione and Neville, "Go fetch someone to help her." He ordered of Neville, glad that the helmet disguised his voice, so Neville wouldn't know it was him. It was a moment before Neville snapped to it and dashed back down the hall in search of help.
Harry cast a glance at Hermione and Ron before he felt a tugging at his robes; he looked down and saw Jessica was trying to say something. He leaned closer and could barely hear her.
"What?" he asked softly, then his eyes widened as he understood, "He-he's impervious to physical attacks? You mean..."
"Harry look out!" Hermione yelled panicked, her eyes were staring past him. "It's not through yet."
Harry spun around and watched as it began to reform, the million little pieces of jelly were merging again, and before Harry could do anything, they had reformed into the creature once more.
He pulled his sword from his scabbard and struck a fighting stance. "Hermione, any idea what this thing is?" he called to his friend behind him.
Hermione racked her brain; she knew she had read about these things somewhere. Something inside her head clicked, "Yes, it's a Jellitor, you can't hurt it physically; it will just repair itself."
"We already know that he can't hurt it!" Ron yelled angrily, "He need's to know how to kill it, Hermione."
Hermione was flustered; she just couldn't seem to remember how to defeat it. "Think, think." she told herself, kneading her forehead with her knuckles.
Jessica, by this time, had pushed herself to her feet. She swayed dangerously but managed to remain upright, "Magic, Harry, try using some spells while Hermione thinks."
Harry nodded once and instantly his sword turned into his wand, he thought quickly before yelling, "Stupefy!"
The Jellitor was thrown back into the wall again, but this time he didn't explode. Momentarily stunned the Jellitor slumped against the wall unconscious.
Harry looked over his shoulder at his friends; Jessica was leaning against the wall tired but alright in the long run, Ron was badgering Hermione trying to get her to think of the answer they were all waiting for, and Neville and was nowhere to be seen. Harry was getting a little impatient.
"Come on, Hermione. How do I kill it?" He growled angrily keeping an eye on the Jellitor.
"I-I can't remember, Harry." Hermione stuttered studying the ground as she concentrated on the question.
"Think, Hermione, think." He cried when the Jellitor began to stir. He pointed his wand at it just in case it woke up fully.
"Flambature!" he heard Jessica yell from behind him, he dove aside as blue sparks shot by him and hit the Jellitor. Blue flames engulfed the jell-o monster and within seconds, nothing was left but a pile of green ash.
Harry turned to Jessica and saw her sit on the floor. "Are you Ok?" he asked kneeling beside her, when she nodded he said, "Did that kill him, or will he repair himself again?"
"No, he's dead. I remembered reading about that spell once; the book said it killed things like Jellitor's." Jessica said taking a deep breathe and placing a hand over the wound on her neck.
"Why didn't you transform?" Hermione asked as she and Ron joined the two on the floor.
Jessica shot her a dark look, "Because I didn't know it was impervious to physical attacks until it was too late. I thought I could take it without having to change."
Hermione let out a snort, "Well obviously you were wrong." She shot Ron a smirk, which he returned feebly.
Hermione's attitude towards Jessica gave Harry the feeling that she didn't care much for her; he figured it was because she had come up with the answer to killing the Jellitor when Hermione couldn't.
"Yeah, well obviously you were wrong in thinking you knew everything." She gave a cruel laugh, "You couldn't even come up with a way to kill a simple Jellitor."
Hermione faced turned scarlet from anger and embarrassment, but before she could retaliate, Harry abruptly stood. "Someone's coming," he said.
Hermione, Jessica and Ron paused; they too heard hurried footsteps coming towards them. Before Harry could move, a pale Neville came dashing around the corner followed closely by Professor McGonagall.
She skidded to a halt, and stared at the Mystic Knight, "Good heavens," she breathed staring with wonder. "A true Mystic Knight, who...?"
Before she could finish her sentence, Harry turned on his heel and sprinted around the corner closest to him, without a second thought he disappeared into thin air. Mystic Knights use a different kind of magical transportation. Greg calls it shimmering. Basically they just vanish from where they are and appear at their desired location without a sound making it much easier to be stealthy considering apparating makes a loud cracking sound when you do it. Unlike apparating, which can be controlled with wards, shimmering is unknown to all except those blessed with the power of the Mystic Knight so there is no way of controlling where they can do it. Which Harry found handy in this particular instance since the wards around Hogwarts prevent everyone from apparating in or out.
By the time, McGonagall reached the corner and looked into the hallway beyond, the Mystic Knight was already gone. A little disappointed she turned back to Hermione, Ron and Jessica.
"Are you alright?" she asked of Jessica when she noticed the Gryffindor was holding her neck.
"I think so," Jessica said moving her hand when McGonagall stooped to check the wound. "That Jellitor drank quite a bit of my blood though. Luckily, that guy in the funny costume came and saved my life. I never got to thank him." She gave McGonagall the best legitimately confused look she could muster, "Professor, what's a Mystic Knight?"
"Never you mind," McGonagall said sharply but kindly, "Let's just see about taking care of that injury, hmm?" She helped Jessica to her feet and turned to the three remaining Gryffindors, "Go back to your common room, and continue with what you were doing. Jessica should be back shortly." With that said, she led Jessica back down the hall and toward the hospital wing.
"Twice in one day Miss Lock," Hermione heard the Transfiguration teacher say, "I must say that's a new record." As she, Ron and Neville headed back to Gryffindor tower she couldn't help but smirk.
Please review. they keep the story going. Please tell me what you think and if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.
