For those who came in late, here's a review of what has happened so far: In the first act of our story, Harry has returned and left The Dursleys for the last time. While helping with the preparations for Bill's and Fleur's wedding, Harry felt a sudden flash of rage from Voldemort. What ever happened, it made Voldemort mad enough to lower his defenses. After the wedding, Harry, with Ron and Herminoe, visited the graves of his parents. Later on, our heroes encountered a strange man with glowing blue eyes. He told Harry that there are others who are going to help him find and destroy the Horcruxes. First to come and help were The Guardians of the Veil (Will, Irma, Taranee, and Hay Lin) W.I.T.C.H. With Will's help, our heroes located Huffelpuff's cup, and after a narrow escape, removed the fragment of Voldemort's soul. The next day, our heroes were ambushed by the Death Eaters and several weird and ugly looking demons. The creatures were easily defeated, and the Death Eaters fled. Later, Professor McGonnagal revealed that someone is fighting Voldemort's forces in extreme secret. Soon after, Pansy Parkinson came in and begged Harry's help in rescuing Draco Malfoy. With Will's help again, our heroes located Draco, and sprang him from his cell. Just when the coast was clear, Bellatrix Lestrange showed up with a whole lot of demons (now called Kandarian Demons). During the fight, Harry chased after Lestrange, with Will following behind him. After making sure that Draco and Pansy were safely out harm's way, Ron was saved from being decapitated by one of the Demons. It turns out that there's a secret organization (The Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense) who are the ones fighting the Death Eaters. They have their own secret space station. On board, Harry watched as The Ramblers, led by one Max Kildare, dispatched a group of Infeiri. Our heroes were returned to Terra Firma with more questions than answers.And now, on with the second act of the show!
Chapter 19: Bloom of Sparks"I knew it!" exclaimed Luna. Our heroes were back at McGonnagal Manor, trying to put what they had seen into focus. They had just finished telling Neville and Luna about the Ramblers as well as their secret space station. "I new it! I knew it! I knew it!" said Luna as she paced back and forth. "Knew what?" asked Ron. "I knew that the muggles were fare more advanced technologically than we were lead to believe." Replied Luna.
"What bothers me," said Hermione, who was writing in her journal, "Besides the fact that there is a secret space station in geo-sync orbit above us, is that the muggles have working mater transporter." "What's the big deal?" asked Cornelia, "I'll bet that the governments of my world have space stations all over the place." "That's not the point." Replied Herminoe. "What I'm trying to say is that that level of technology isn't suppose to exist yet. Like I said, I read the muggle science magazines."
"What do you think of all of this, Harry?" asked Will. "To tell the truth," he said, I don't know what to think. From what we saw, they're maybe the ones who are secretly fighting Voldemort's forces. But what I want to know is why."
"You want to know what I think?' asked Cornelia. "No," whispered Irma. "I'm going to ignore that Irma," said an irritated Cornelia. "Now, what I think is that if we can get those Ramblers to work with us, then Voldemort doesn't stand a chance." "That may be," said Will, "But I think there's more to the Ramblers then they let us see. Much more."
As Harry mulled over yesterdays events, Ron suddenly sat up and exclaimed, "I just realized something!" "What?" Harry asked anxiously. "The first letter in your names," said Ron to Will and Her friends, "Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin, it spells W.I.T.C.H." "Took you long enough." Said Cornelia. "I had that figured out when we first met." Said Herminoe.
At this everyone burst into laughter, but were soon interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. "Harry? Are you in there?" "Yeah, come in Seamus." Said Harry. In came Seamus Finnigan, who was helping Neville and Luna figure out who R.A.B. was. "There's a girl in the study who wants to talk with you." He said. "Who is it?" asked Harry. "Don't know, she just popped in on the front lawn and asked for you."
"Probably the media asking for an interview." Said Ron. "If there's one thing worse than the media," said Hay Lin, "It's the liberal media." Everyone laugh. "Well," said Harry, "Let's get this over with." He went out into the hall and proceeded to the study. In there was a young woman, approximately 17 years old with long red hair. The first thought to race through Harry's head was Oh god, it's Ginny, but then he noticed that this girl had blue eyes, while Ginny had green eyes.
"Well there's one thing," whispered Ron, "She's no reporter." "Are you Harry Potter?" she asked. "What difference does it make?" replied Harry. "Well it makes a lot of difference, since I'm here to help in the fight against Voldemort." Harry was shocked that here was another person who wasn't afraid to say Voldemort's name. "And what do you know about Voldemort?" he asked. "Only that he wants to rule this world, that he's killed and tortured more people than I'd like to count, that he's divided his soul into seven pieces, hid six and kept the seventh for himself."
"Definitely not a reporter." Said Ron. "Thank you for stating the obvious." Said Hermoinoe. "Just one more thing," said Harry. "Let me see your arms." The girl rolled up her sleeves and showed them to Harry. "Okay," he said, "You're looking for Harry Potter? You've found him." He held out his hand. "Pleased to meet you," said the girl as she shook his hand. "I'm Bloom."
Just then, something flew out of Bloom's pocket. From what Harry saw, it was a tiny girl with short, dark red hair, and most bizarre, wings. "I can't breath in there!" she exclaimed. "Lockett!" exclaimed Bloom "You were supposed to wait until I had a chance to talk to Harry. "Well I'm sorry, but I couldn't breath in your pocket." Just then, Bloom noticed that Harry, Ron and Herminoe were staring at her. "Um, this is going to take some explaining." Said Bloom quietly. "Indeed." Said Harry.
The end of chapter 19. Sorry for it being so short. I promise the next one shall be longer. Next chapter, Bloom explains herself, and The Ramblers make a return appearance. See you next time!
