Last time, Harry and the gang were discussing what had happened with them and The Ramblers, when a mysterious girl asked for Harry. Who is she? To find out and much more, read on. Now, on with the show!
Chapter 20: Fighting Werewolves
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 wait." 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.
One hour and 28 minutes later…
"So let me get this straight," said Ron, "You're a Fairy and you're also human." "Yes". Said Bloom. "Now stop me if I've gotten anything wrong." Said Harry. "You're a fairy princess from another planet in another dimension." "So far, so good." Said Bloom. "Now, you were raised on Earth, a different Earth from this one," said Taranee, "And didn't know about your powers until you started High school." "Yes." Said Bloom. "You're a Fairy and you're also human." Said Ron "Yes". Said Bloom. "When you learned about your powers, which is called Winx in your universe," said Herminoe, "You went to an all girl school for fairies." "Correct." "You're a Fairy and you're also human." Said Ron. "Of course." Replied Bloom.
"And the thing on your shoulder," said Cornelia, "Is a pixy that is linked to you." "I have a name you know!" exclaimed the pixy, "It's Lockett!" "My apologies." Replied Cornelia. "So how did you get here?" asked Harry. "Well, it started just after the school year ended. I was back home, I met this strange man with these weird eyes that glowed blue. He told me that there was a war going on in another dimension, and I could help. He told me about Voldemort and the Horcruxes. So here I am." "You're a Fairy and you're also human." "Yes". Said Bloom, who was starting to get anoied.
"This Stranger is really starting to get on my nerves." Said Irma. "You're a Fairy and you're also human." Said Ron. "You asked her that five times already," said Cornelia, "Give it a rest." Just then, there was a nock from the door. It was Neville who was holding a medium sized brown box. "This came for you Harry," he said. Harry stood up and received the package. "Who's it from?" asked Ron. "Don't know," replied Neville, "There was no return address on it, we just found it on the doorstep, addressed to Harry. It's been checked for curses and poisons." Harry stared at the package wondering who sent it. More importantly, who knew he was here.
He opened the package to reveal what appeared to be a speaker phone. "It looks like a speaker phone." Said Irma. "Thanks for stating the obvious." Said Cornelia. Before Irma could reply the phone began to ring. "How's that thing ringing without a teleophone-thing lime thing?" asked Ron. "First of all," said Herminoe, "it's a telephone line. Second, it's probably wire-less, and battery operated."
She located the 'receive' button, and pressed it. "Hello?" she said. On the other end there was much static and garbled voices. Slowly, the static cleared and a voice was heard. "Hello? Can you here me now?" "Um, yes, you are coming in clear now." Replied Herminoe. "Great, so let's get down to business." "Um, just whom are we talking to?" asked Harry. "Oh, my bad. It's me, Jill." "Oh, it's you, Jill." Said Herminoe, sounding more than a bit confused. "Yes, I had my doubts that you would be able to here me." Replied the British Rambler. "So, is Harry there?" "I'm right here," said Harry, "How did you know where I was?" "Let's just say that my eyes are open." Replied Jill.
"Now, down to business. How would you and your friends like to participate in a little game of werewolf hunting?" Harry and the others all blinked at once. "What do you mean, a little game?" he asked. "What she means," said a male voice on the other end, "Is that we, The Ramblers are going to 'take out' a group of lycanthropes. Hopefully, and this is a big hope, their leader, Fenrir Greyback is going to be there." Really, thought Harry. "Just who are we talking to now?" asked Ron. "You don't remember me? Steve Austin?" "Oh yeah, that's the guy who talked about the zombies and stuff." Said Will.
"So," said Jill, "Are you in, or are you out?" "Well, I guess we're in." said Harry hesitantly. "Excellent!" exclaimed Jill, "So, meet me at these coordinates in two hours, and we'll get started." A small sheet of paper popped out of the machine. "Can't wait to see you! Oh, one more thing; bring the new girl Bloom. I think she'll want to get into the game." "Wait, how did you know about Bloom?" asked a surprised Harry. But there was no answer at the other end. "Hello? Jill? Are you there?" But there was still no answer. "She hung up on me." Said Harry.
One hour and fifty-five minutes later, Harry and co. was at the location specified by Jill. To pass the time, Ron and Herminoe were recounting some of their more interesting adventures. "So there was Harry and I as Crab and Goyle, in the Slytherin common room with Malfoy, trying to get him to tell us if he was the one opening the Chamber of Secrets. We found out he wasn't the one, just as the Pollyjuice potion was wearing off. We got out and ran back to the girls bathroom to find Herminoe had grew not only fur, but whiskers and a tail!"
Everyone except Herminoe laugh at this. "I spent weeks in hospital shedding," said Herminoe annoyingly. "By the way, Ronald, did you tell them about the time you kept vomiting up slugs?" Herminoe asked slyly. "Well, I, um," sputtered Ron. "So what are we waiting for now?" asked Bloom. Before anyone could answer, there was a flash of light, and Captain Jill Sparrow appeared before them. "That's what we're waiting for." Said Harry.
"Glad you all decided to come," said Jill. She then saw Bloom. "We haven't been introduced yet; Captain Jill Sparrow at your service." She said with a bow. "Nice to meet you, but how did you know I was here?" asked Bloom. "Like I told Harry," said Jill, "My eyes are open." Just then there were two more teleportation flashes as Steve Austin and Virgil Blake arrived. "Just how did you get that program before it was even available to the public?" asked Steve. "It was easy," said Virgil, "I stole it of the Internet." "That's called stealing." "I said I stole it." "Well could you get me The Matrix Triligoy?" "I already have that, it's on my hard drive." "So how about watching it?" "If you two numb-nuts would pay attention for five seconds, you'd notice that we're here, we have work to do, and that we are playing host to potential allies." said Jill. "Oh, hi there." Said Steve and Virgil.
Suddenly, Steve did a double take and looked at Bloom. "Well, hello there," he said with a huge grin. He began to move towards Bloom, but was stopped by Virgil who grabbed him by the ear. "Don't even think about it, lover-by!" OW! What's your f#ck$ng problem?" exclaimed Steve. "You are, that's what!" "I f#ck$ng hate you!" "I f#ck$ng hate you too!" "Both of you shut up!" yelled Jill. "Are they always like that?" asked Bloom. "More or less," replied Jill, "It's a wonder they haven't killed each other by now." "Give me five minutes alone with him," said Virgil, "and we'll settle this once and for all." "Not if I settle you first!" exclaimed Steve. "Shut up for crying out loud!" yelled Jill.
Laura was the last one to teleport in, and as she did so, she walked right into Steve. "Watch it ass hole!" she yelled. She then realized what she done. "Oh, I cry your pardon, Steve," she said sincerely, "My hormones are going nuts. So please, if you would, get the f#ck out off my way, before I pull your f#ck$ng tongue out, and shove it up your f#ck$ng ass!" She then turned to Jill, her eyes blazing.
"Oh and Jill, you f#ck$ng forgot to order the f#ck$ing ice cream again. I mean, how many times do I have to f#ck$ng write ice cream on the f#ck$ng list before someone gets her sh$t in gear and orders the f#ck$ng ice cream!" By now Lura was shouting. Harry and the others began to back away, as Laura advanced at Jill. "Maybe I should borrow one of Fay's knifes and etch it in your mother-fck$ng forehead! How hard can it be? Ice mother-f#ck$ng cream! I guess that's the price I pay for living and working with a bunch of f#ck$ng morons!"
"What happened to courtesy?" whispered Steve to Virgil. "Did it just jump out the window?" "I told you that girl was out of her god loving mind." Replied Virgil quietly. Laura then turned towards Bloom, who backed away suddenly. "Oh, you're the new girl Bloom." Said Laura with a smile. Harry noticed that Laura seemed to emit a different feeling now that she was smiling. "I'm Laura Hurst," she said while holding out her hand, "Long days and pleasant nights."
Bloom cautiously shook Laura's hand. "May you have twice as many." She said. "You've read The Dark Tower cycle?" asked Laura anxiously. "Well, I'm only half way through 'Wolves of the Calla,' so yes and no." "Oh, you are gonna love how book seven ends." It was then that Laura noticed Locket who was perched on Bloom's shoulder. "Oh, you've bonded with a pixy? That is so cool!"
"Talk later, work now." Said Jill. "Now, our intelligence has located several lycanthropes in the area. They are just over that ridge." She pointed towards the nearby hill. "Our job is to take some prisoners, and destroy the rest." "Why do we have to kill so many?" asked Herminoe, "I just think it's a waste of life." "Here's why," said Virgil, "These werewolves are some of the more nasty ones, under the command of Fenirir Greyback." "That's reason enough for me," said Ron early.
Harry took the time to notice that Steve, Jill and Virgil were armed with different firearms. Virgil had a pump-action shotgun; Steve has an M-16, while Jill carried an Uzi. Laura, on the other hand, was unarmed. "Don't you need silver bullets?" asked Irma as Steve loaded his rifle. "Oh be serious, will you?" replied Steve. "No, silver only hurts lycanthropes." Said Virgil. "To kill one, you need to shoot it in the head, preferably between the eyes." "Or cut its head off," said Steve, "It depends on what you prefer to use."

"Now, Steve, be so kind as to take a look at the situation?" asked Jill. "No problem, Boss Lady." Replied Steve Austin. "Damn it! I told you to stop calling me that!" "I know, I just like messing with you." He ran towards the top of the hill to observe the enemy. "Why did we even decide to higher that idiot anyway?" asked Laura. "It wasn't my idea," replied Virgil. "Explain to me," said Taranee, "Why do you need prisoners?" "Oh I wish I could tell you." Said Virgil. "Oh he can tell you," said Laura, "But then he'd have to kill you." "That's not funny." Said Cornelia. "I wasn't trying to be funny."
Just then, Steve came rushing down the hill. "You are not going to believe this." He said. "Believe what?" asked Jill. "Someone has already attacked the lycanthrope hideout." "No f#ck$ng way!" exclaimed Virgil as he ran over the hill. "This I've got to see," said Herminoe as she and the others ran after Virgil.
Five minutes later Harry was walking among the ruins of the werewolf base. Dead bodies were strewed among the shattered makeshift buildings. "Whatever happened here," said Virgil as he kneeled among the bodies, "It couldn't have happened no more than fifteen minutes ago." "Virgil is our forensics expert." Said Laura. "It goes to show you what you can learn from watching CSI, CSI Miami, and CSI New York." Said Virgil. "Who could have done this?" asked Ron. "Well we couldn't have done it," said Will, "And neither did you." She said to Jill. "I doubt that your ministry of magic did this." Said Jill to Harry. "I agree," he said.
"These bodies here look like they were electrocuted." Said Virgil as he got up. "Electrocuted?" asked Bloom. "And these over here," said Steve, "definitely froze to death." He was pointing to several bodies encased in ice. "Frozen?" asked Lockett. "And the rest," said Laura, "Were hit by highly powerful psionic waves." Everyone except Jill, Steve and Virgil gazed at her with confusion on their faces. "They were attacked by someone with telekinesis." "Oh," said Ron, "That explains it." "Telekinesis?" said Bloom. By now she was starting to sound extremely nervous.
"Any sign of Greyback?" asked Jill. "He's not among the one's killed." Said Virgil. "Apparently, there were some survivors. They ran off in that direction." He was pointing at several footprints in the ground. "If we hurry, we can catch them." "Oh no," said Bloom, her voice wavering, "Oh god no." "What are you talking about?" asked Jill. "It's impossible," said Bloom, "They can't be here." "I'm scared Bloom," squealed Locket." "Me too," said Bloom. "Who?" demanded Jill. "Who are 'they?'"
Just then, Harry had that feeling again. The one where he felt that something bad was about to happen. "People," he said, "I think something really bad is about to happen." "Everyone look sharp!" exclaimed Will. "What, are you a 'precog' or something?" asked Laura. "A what?" asked Ron. "Precognition," said Laura, "It's where you something is about to happen before it happens." But then Laura's facial expression changed from annoyance tone to utmost horror.
"BLOOM, LOOK OUT!" she cried as she flung her hand towards Bloom. Bloom was suddenly flung from where she was standing just as the area where she was standing erupted in explosion. "Bloody Hell!" exclaimed Ron. As the smoke cleared, Harry ran towards Bloom. "What happened?" asked Will. "If I hadn't moved her," said Laura, "She would be dead by now." Bloom however, was covered in minor burns and scratches. "Are you alright?" asked Harry. "I think so." Replied Bloom, breathing heavily.
"You missed Darcy!" exclaimed a harsh, female voice. "I didn't miss, someone moved her!" replied a second female voice. "You so f#ck$ng missed." Said the first voice. "I don't give a f#ck if you missed or not." Said a third female voice. "Let's just finish her off and we'll be done with it."
Harry looked up to see three women approaching from the other side of the hill. One had long, platinum-blond hair in a ponytail, Dressed in medium blue with a dark blue cape. The second had short, purple hair, dressed in purple with a purple miniskirt. She had long, sharp looking fingernails. The third had long, brown hair, dressed in dark purple. All three had heavy eye shadow, reflecting their respective colors. "Who the bloody hell are they?" asked Ron. "These three witches are my arch enemies," said Bloom. "The Trix sisters; Stormy, Darcy and Icy. Also known as The Bitches of Cloud Tower"
The end of Chapter 20. Next chapter, a 'Hellraising' story leads to a battle royal between our heroes and this new enemy. Plus, Virgil takes his sunglasses off. Note that every now ant then, I'll add some information about The Ramblers. See you next time.
