Thanks for all the reviews. I'm glad people like it.
Ok i've had a lot of people ask about how Harry resists Veritaserum. I can't remember where but i did read somewhere that you can't lie with Veritaserum but if you are really strong willed you can refuse to answer. I decided that as Harry was able to resist the Imperius curse (you need to be very strong willed) without trying he could resist Veritaserum, sort of. I hope it makes sense because i am so tired as i had two, two hour exams today.
This is a short chapter, but i think they are getting longer. My sister hurts me if i don't make them more than four pages.
Last Chapter
"Death Eaters," she gasped, "stopped the train. Outside." James, Lily, Sirius and Dumbledore immediately pulled out their wands.
Death Eaters. Harry's head snapped up. They couldn't be here. Not now. Oh Merlin. This is bad. James will probably think they have come for us.The witch hurried back out of the door to join her companions outside. She slammed the door shut.
Suddenly pain pierced through Harry's head, his scar felt like it was on fire. Harry yelled and toppled off his chair clutching in scar. The pain was so bad that Harry couldn't think straight. He was vaguely aware of the door crashing open again. Two dark figures covered his vision. He could here someone talking to him but could barely hear because of his yells.
"Harry, block him out."
"You can do it Harry, Get him out."
Harry knew these words were important. He listened. He closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to remember what Snape had said. He lay there, rolled in a ball, clutching his scar, trying to empty his head, trying to force him out. The pain gradually lessened until it stopped. Harry stopped yelling and opened his eyes. He looked up and saw the concerned faces of his two best friends.
"Harry," asked Hermione tentatively, "are you alright?"
"I think so," he answered, as Ron gently pulled him into a sitting position.
"He's here isn't he?" asked Ron. Harry nodded and looked over Ron's shoulder. He nodded behind Ron's shoulder and both Hermione and Ron turned around. Lily, James, Sirius and Dumbledore were staring at Harry and his friends. Remus was standing in the doorway smiling slightly at Hermione and Ron.
"What was that about?" growled James. Hermione opened her mouth to answer, when a window exploded by a well placed curse and glass showered the occupants of the carriage. Ron, Harry and Hermione covered their heads with the hands whilst the adults muttered repelling charms. Lily turned to the window space, pointed her wand at it and said, "Reparo." The glass flew back into place leaving the window intact.
"Well?" asked James again. Lily turned and glared at her husband.
"I'm sure it's a lovely story but right now we have more important things to worry about."
Remus nodded at Harry, Ron and Hermione. "Give me their wands; I'll keep an eye on them."
"No Moony, you have to come and help. We need all the help we can get," replied James. "We'll lock the door but you can take their wands. We can't leave 'em and I'll just lose them." Remus held out his hand and Sirius passed him the three wands. James turned to look at the three friends sitting on the floor.
"Don't move. You'll stay here until we come back."
"We can help," said Harry quickly. James laughed and said, "I'm sure. Help Voldemort kill us. You're staying."
"You three are not going anywhere," snapped Lily. She spun around and walked briskly out of the door. She was quickly followed by Sirius, James and Dumbledore. Remus stopped in the doorway. He looked like he was trying to decide something. Finally he turned to the trio and gently placed their wands on a table beside the door. Harry stared at Remus wide-eyed, Ron and Hermione just grinned at him. He placed his finger on his lips and pulled the door shut. He hastily put some locking charms on the door and ran off to help his friends.
Harry looked at his friends suspiciously.
"What did you tell him?" Hermione and Ron shifted guiltily on the floor.
"Well?"
"Um, well you see......" stuttered Ron, for Harry, was glaring at him.
"We told him the truth," said Hermione, very shrilly. Harry rounded on her.
"What! And he believed you?" Hermione shrugged.
"I guess."
"Why did you. We agreed not to tell them. Not yet anyway."
"Harry, when we heard it was V-Voldemort, we knew..... you and him..... your scar. We knew they wouldn't understand and we had to get back here. We told him, he let us come back. I don't know why," said Ron very quickly. Harry sighed and stood up.
"Well we'd better go and help them then." He walked over to the door and picked up his wand and tossed the other two to his friends. They had to jump to their feet to catch them, and even then Ron still missed his. He had to go scurrying under the deck to retrieve it. Harry tried to open the door and then, remembering it was locked, looked sheepishly at Hermione.
"Hermione, could you unlock the door. I still can't get the spell to work properly."
"Are you sure? This could be really dangerous," said Hermione.
"Yes! They need our help and can't do this alone." Hermione sighed and shook her head at Harry. She walked over to him.
"Alohomora," she muttered, and stood back as the door sprang open. Hermione took a step forward and peered around the door frame. The carriage was empty but there she could hear the sounds of battle coming from outside. Hermione walked out and beckoned her two friends. She turned to look at Harry.
"Now what?"
Harry didn't speak; he just strode up the train to the door. Ron and Hermione followed him quickly. He stopped in front of the door. He tried to push the door open but it was stuck against something.
"Stand back you two," he warned. Hermione and Ron darted backwards. "REDUCTO," yelled Harry. The door flew off its hinges with a loud crack and soared out into the blackened countryside.
"Come on," said Harry. Ron and Hermione walked over to Harry. He leapt out through the open door.
Ron looked at Hermione.
"Well, here goes nothing," he said and jumped out after Harry. Hermione looked at the door and muttered,
"This is a really bad idea. Why do I always let them talk me into things like this?" She took a deep breath and followed her friends outside.
