A/N Thank you all for the reviews. Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan.
"POPPY WE NEED YOU, AND WE NEED YOU NOW".
(BSC 4 C31) C118 Pure Fire In a bird form.
Minerva had looked on as her grandson went back down. She was floating there for a couple of seconds before she started to edge her way back to the edge of the lake. She knew that Fleur would have trouble with her magic so a helping hand would be most definitely welcome. She only hoped that he would get to her soon and all she could do about it now was to wait. The other thing she could hope for was that his Gillyweed would hold on until they all got back.
Halfway near the edge Bella and Daphne joined her to guide her the last couple of meters. They had heard her thinking to Harry and knew that she was worried about Harry just like they were. The only thing Minerva could do that Harry couldn't yet do was to keep her thoughts a secret for the ones she didn't want to know or hear. Harry sometimes did it but he himself didn't know he was doing it. She knew that Bella and Daphne could hear her but she didn't know why but that was something for later.
Now however she had a thought that was only for Bella, Daphne and Zanita. "Girls, make sure that the rest of the family is at the edge when he gets back. I will make it on my own for the rest of the way. Zanita will help me out of the water just like Poppy will so go get them". With only a couple of meters to go Minerva saw how Bella and Daphne rushed away. She didn't follow them because if she were honest she was barely hanging on. So it was with a deep sigh of relieve when she felt the arms of Zanita pulling her out of the water.
Bella and Daphne had to split up to get to all the family members that were all over the place. Some were already heading their way while others were still arguing with Albus. Bella looked over her shoulder and saw that Poppy had placed a blanket around Minerva but also that Minerva refused to go into the tent for help. As she looked back she almost ran straight into Isabella and before she could ask anything Bella told her to go to Minerva and to go right away.
Isabella nodded and walked on She had seen Minerva coming out of the water just before she saw Harry. She was so happy that he was save that she slumped into a seat on the stand. It was only a minute later that she jumped back up when she saw Harry go under for a second time. ^What the hell does that boy think he is doing^ she said to herself before she started to make her way to Minerva who was swimming to the edge. As she stepped next to Minerva she could hear her starting to breathe heavier and heavier.
Minerva didn't know who was standing next to her but she grabbed the arm and squeezed it roughly. Harry was in trouble and she could feel it. His Gillyweed started to get weaker and he began to get trouble breathing. It was then that she heard him in her mind.
^In Merlin's name, what are those things^
^No, not the bublehead^.
^In Merlin's name, I can't go on producing them^.
^They need them to breathe, just get away from us^.
Minerva heard her grandson and knew instantly that he was talking about the little Grindylows. Those were the little water demons with very sharp claws who were clearly there to keep them from reaching the top. The other thing she knew about those demons was that they were the guard dogs from the merpeople. So it was clear to her that they were ordered to keep them down and to kill them. It surprised her that Harry knew the bubblehead charm because she didn't know he could do it. Then again the house of Hogwarts had done a lot of self-study so it shouldn't have surprised her at all.
While Minerva was holding a death grip on the arm of Isabella she heard the one voice she didn't want to hear. "Minerva, may I ask why Harry has gone back under".
Minerva turned around and looked straight into the eyes of Albus. She raised one eyebrow but didn't say a thing. She gave a deep sigh and hoped that he would understand that she didn't want to talk.
While the rest of the family were making their way towards Isabella and Minerva, Albus was starting to get even more frustrated then he was. He just didn't know what he could do about Minerva. From the moment she had found out that she was the grandmother of Harry she just didn't listen to him. she didn't trust him anymore and she just couldn't understand why he was doing it. It was for the greater good, she knew what it was all about but she just didn't want to listen anymore. Well, then we just have to play it hard" he thought. "Minerva, If Harry comes back up with one of the other hostages then he will not obtain any more points" Albus almost smiled when he said it.
Minerva heard the venom in his voice and knew that it was more a bluff than he really wanted to go against her. Still. she was worried about her grandson and Albus was the last thing she wanted around herself. So she took a step towards him and gazed into his eyes. "I do not like it when someone is threatening me. I, however, can deal with it, but when you start to use my grandson in one of your threats then I draw the line".
Albus swallowed a little but kept his eyes locked on the eyes of Minerva. The one thing he was telling himself was to not show weakness to Minerva, no matter what she would say. "It isn't a threat Minerva, It is only a warning for him. I do want to give Harry a fair chance, but for the chance, he has to play by the rules just like all the other champions". Albus closed his mouth and waited for a minute as he was looking into her eyes. It was clear to him that she was hesitating to give him an answer, so this was the right moment to strike her down and to get her back to his side.
Minerva heard the threat and also how Albus repeated it for a second time. Sure it was with different words but it was still the same. She looked at Albus and felt a ligemans probe invading her head. It was a small probe that would only look at the surface thoughts she had right in front of her. She smiled a little, as she placed a thought right in front of Albus. It was a thought of confusion and one that would clearly tell Albus that he had to power to control the situation.
"Minerva, Harry has not played by the rules in the first task. We had everything in hand when he decided that he had to interfere. If he would have let us handle the dragons than Remus would still be among us. It is a great loss because Remus was the one who could get the werewolves back to our side".
Minerva heard the words but could not believe her ears. Was she really hearing it correctly, was Albus really blaming her Grandson for the death of Remus. Her Grandson that has risked his life together with Bella to keep the dragons away from the people that were watching the first task. He had been up there just so that everyone had enough time to get back to safety.
"Minerva, I'm only telling you this with the best of my intentions. I do not want Harry to get into any more problems. You do realize that he is turning all off the ministry and the school against him. If he is again interfering with the second task, then I can't protect him any longer with the things they want to do to him" Albus told her.
Minerva took her wand out of the hand of Zanita who had found it in her office and placed it under the chin of Albus. She gazed over his shoulder and saw Jean Delacour and the minister of Bulgaria standing behind him. "Albus," she said as she jabbed the want a little up into his chin. "Let me make myself perfectly clear. Miss Figg and my Grandson risked their lives to save all of those people. There were over a thousand people there and they saved almost all of them. They were distracting the dragons so the people could get away. You and your followers, however, had to get the spotlight on yourself. If you would have waited another five minutes then all the people would have been saved. But you didn't and that is why five people lost their lives, Remus being one of them". Minerva gave a sigh and pushed her wand a little deeper. "Now if that was not all. NO, his friends and even the Beauxbaton champion did everything to get the people to safety. They were the ones to protect the people from the dragon fire. They were the ones that made a path for the people to follow while you were hiding in fear".
Everyone was slowly hearing the voice of Minerva getting louder and louder. So it wasn't that surprising that they were all getting closer and closer as Minerva went on.
"I do not know what you think to accomplice by these accusations about my grandson, But I would love to have some answers to some of my questions".
Albus just looked on with a little frown on his face. What kind of questions could she have for him? "Minerva I".
"Who are the archenemy's of the Veela race" Minerva interrupted him.
Albus had to think for a bit before he said with a little confusion in his voice. "Well, I'm sure you know it yourself but they are the merpeople".
"Now, Albus, What race lives at the bottom of the lake that is on the grounds of Hogwarts". Minerva snapped at him right after Albus had answered her first question.
"Minerva, I assure you that the merpeople that are living in the lake are friendly. The leader has told me that he would protect any champion that would come to get their person. Now I do not know what you are suggesting but I trust them completely" Albus defended himself.
Minerva had none of it and stepped even closer to him as she hissed. "Did the merpeople know that there would be a Champion that was also a Veela, did the merpeople know that one of you hostages was going to be a Veela. Did you also know that the Veela race is almost powerless when they are underwater"?
Albus hung his head as he started to avoid the last question of Minerva while he was mumbling.
Minerva didn't hear what he was mumbling and she didn't care. She knew that Albus had again done something without thinking it through. What frustrated her, even more, was the look in his eyes, a look that told her he didn't care at all. She knew that many of the tournament committee. members were racist when it came to half-bloods. Fleur and Gabrielle were nothing more than beast to them. they were of no value to any of them. The one thing they wanted was a Hogwarts champion so Hogwarts could be the best school in the world one more time".
In her mind, she could hear how much trouble her grandson had with getting the two girls back to the surface. She knew they had to wait until he came back up because there was nothing they could do now. So she turned back to Albus and said. "I know one thing, Albus. My grandson is doing everything he can to get those two girls back to us. He is being attacked by the merpeople and those Grindylows they keep as guard dogs. It is clear that they want Fleur and Gabrielle and I can hope for you they make it because if they don't, you will have a war with France for sure. Especially with the France and Bulgarian ministers because their wives are both Veela".
"POPPY WE NEED YOU, AND WE NEED YOU NOW".
From somewhere in the middle of the lake sounded the voice of Harry. The sound was a little bit muffled by the water but it was clear that Harry was in some kind of panic. Most of the people snapped their heads to him and saw that he was holding on to two blond figures. It was also clear to all of them that he was trying to support them but that he was failing in doing so.
Everyone that was standing at the side were looking on in panic but none of them were doing something to help him. The only thing they knew was that it wasn't right by the sound of his voice.
Harry started to yell again but his mouth was filling itself with water. In his panic, he had forgotten that he could talk in his mind and so he did. ^Grandmother, I need help. I can not hold them any longer and I think they aren't breathing^.
Everyone was looking on while Harry was struggling to get the two blond girls back to the shoreline. None of them said something or did anything to help the boy. Albus to many names Dumbledore was just standing there looking at it. He was the most powerful wizard they knew and one woman even screamed it at him. "well, don't just stand there you fool, do something, get them out".
Harry was really starting to struggle and wanted to scream again. his mouth filled itself with water and it was then that he once again remembered that he could speak with his grandmother in his mind. ^Grandmother, I need help. they do not breath and I can hold them both much longer^.
Before his though was thought and done. both Bella and Daphne jumped in to help him get the girls over to the edge. David and Dan had jumped right in after them. while the other family members started to clear a path for them right on up to the emergency tent.
David and Dan pulled Fleur on the shore, David wanted to take her along but Dan stopped him. "She is not breathing can you do a spell," Dan asked him.
"No, I can't, when someone is death than they are dead".
"Hell no," Dan screamed and started to pump her chest up and down as Hermione rust over to give her mouth to mouth. A couple of meters away the same thing happened with Gabrielle with Emma pumping her chest and Harry giving her mouth to mouth.
No one in the magical world knew what they were doing and looked on. Some were screaming to them to stop because they were sure that Dan and Emma were crushing them underneath there pushing. Bella knew it and told the others that they were trying to bring them back with CPR, a thing that is created to restart a heart. Bella rushed over to Fleur and placed her finger on her neck the moment fleur took a breath on her own. In her mind, she was counting as Hermione and Dan looked on. "It is going up she will be fine take her into the tent," Bella told them as she herself rushed to Gabrielle where Emma and Harry were still going on and on.
Emma and Harry went on and had not seen how Fleur was taking away. It was another minute when Poppy came to them and placed a hand on the shoulder of Emma. Gabrielle didn't breath and was just lying there completely still as Harry gave her mouth to mouth while Emma was pumping her chest. It was after five minutes that Emma sat up and shook her head.
Harry saw it and screamed No as he pushed Poppy away from him. He immediately started where Emma had left off. Poppy grabbed his shoulders with her hands and pulled him back but he just shook them off. Poppy again grabbed his shoulders and said in a soft voice "Harry, Stop, You can't, it is too late, It is too long Gabrielle is not coming back".
Harry looked up and screamed "No" again as he pushed her away and kept on going, "One, Two, Three, Four, Five" breath. "One, Two, Three, Four, Five" breath. "I'm not giving up. Three, Four, Five. She just has to come back, Four, Five".
Poppy tried again but could not get Harry away from Gabrielle.
Apolline who had been looking at her little girl with tears in her eyes saw how Harry was doing all he could. Her heart was breaking at the way her little baby girl wasn't responding to Harry. When she heard the words Poppy said she broke down and rushed to the side of Gabrielle. Slowly she gazed at Harry who was still doing all he could as she took her little girls hand in hers and placed in on her cheek. Her little girl was dead and Harry was still trying. With pain in her heart, she did the one thing a mother just could not do. She gave up on her little girl just to stop Harry. Her hands cupped his cheeks and she pulled his face up. "Harry stop, You can't go on, Gabrielle will be with her grandfather you have done all you could".
"No, One, Two Three" the eyes from Harry were full of tears as he gazed into the eyes of Apolline. "No, Two, Three".
Apolline was slowly shaking her head. "You have done all you could, I do not want you to, but you have to stop now". Apolline told him as she looked into the eyes of Harry that spoke to her of betrayal. "It will be hart, I know. But you have done all you can". Apolline closed her eyes as tears started to run faster and faster down her cheeks. The moment she opened them it became very hot around her and all she could see was fire around her as a voice was speaking into her ear.
*#*
Zanita had been standing close by and had looked at it all. She saw how Emma gave up. At first, she didn't understand what Emma and Dan were doing but when Fleur woke up if shocked her to her core. Here was a muggle who could bring someone back from the dead while wizards couldn't do it at all. She wasn't against muggles but she only just started to learn about them when Harry gave her a body. It was not that she really understood that Muggles were far more superior than the wizards around her because they just stopped progressing as muggles grew on an on in mind and body. When Emma gave up she could see how Harry just didn't stop and went on. It gave her a feeling of pride but after a minute she too knew that it was too late. She wanted to step over to him but saw Apolline crawling towards him on her hands and knees. She heard the words Apolline told Harry and it broke her heart. Her Harry just went on but slowly he started to slow down as he just could not stop but he knew he had to.
^Zanita, take everyone away from Gabrielle, Harry and Apolline. I can still save her but I can only do it ones. I need the love from a mother and Apolline has that love. I also need a magic force, a force that is greater than my own^.
The voice that she heard in her mind sounded familiar but she didn't from where. The only persons she had heard in her mind recently were Minerva and Harry. Still, this voice was from someone different. So the only thing she could do was look around herself to see the person that was talking to her while he or she looked her in the eye. As her gaze went around the people around her she thought about the things she knew. There was a death eater that had placed the name of her Harry into the cup. She knew who it was so that was the first, person she looked at. He was looking away so he wasn't the one that was talking to her. Still, this voice could be from someone else that was also planning to do harm to her Harry.
^Lady Hogwarts, Please push everyone away from Harry, Gabrielle and Apolline. I really do need her love as a mother and the magic from Harry. If I want to save her I have to have them alone^ sounded the voice again in her mind. So as she took another look around her eyes found too dark brown eyes that looked straight back at her. A little smile came over her face as she pushed her hands to the side immediately pushing everyone away that was standing around the five of them.
*#*
Minerva who was just making her way to her grandson felt a magical wall appear right in front of her as it pushed her back. First, she looked at Albus but saw that he was also pushed back a couple of steps. It was clear to her that he wasn't the one who was doing it. It was then that she saw Zanita waiving her hands in a circle as a Magical dome appeared around the five of them. "Zanita, stop that" she screamed.
Zanita, however, didn't look at Minerva but kept her eyes locked with the two brown eyes that were in front of her as she created a magical dome around them, one that would keep everybody out.
^Good job my Queen. Now, listen to what I say and do exactly what I tell you. I can only do this once. If we fail then Gabrielle is no more^. Zanita nodded and the voice went on. ^When Harry is surrounded by a blue glow And Apolline with a Yello glow them you have to make them kiss. When they kiss I will do what I have to do^.
*#*
Albus had slowly walked away but kept an eye on the things that were happening inside the group of people. He could not see everything but he knew that Zanita had done something om that the whole group was pushed a couple of steps back. The one thing he still didn't understand was why it looked like Minerva and Harry could talk to each other without actually speaking a word. He knew that he could do nothing about it, and when he saw that they were still trying to get Gabrielle to breathe on her own, he knew that she would not make it. So all that was left for him to do was to turn around and leave before someone would get to him and demand answers he didn't have. The moment he turned around he stood face to face with Jean Delacour and the Bulgarian minister.
Jean stepped a little closer to him and jabbed him with his finger as he spoke. "I do hope for your sake that both of my daughters will survive this or I will press charges to all the members of the committee. You, two headmasters and headmistress, have promised us that the tournament would be safe. You also guaranteed that whoever would be the champion of the school that they would never be in any kind of real danger. Now I also recall that your own minister has told us that you had about nine options for any kind of task. you would pick three of those tasks just to give every champion the same chance. It is clear however that My daughter didn't have the same chance because she is almost helpless underneath the water surface" Jean told him as he pulled his finger away.
All the time Jean was speaking to Albus the Bulgarian minister was standing behind him, nodding with every word he said. He himself had a Veela for a wife and would soon be blessed with a little Veela girl of his own.
"HEM, HEM" sounded the sugar-sweet voice of Umbridge behind them.
Albus looked over the shoulder of Jean and placed his head into his hands. Dolores was the last person who he wanted to interfere in all of this. Still, if she did she may get them away from him or distract them enough so he could get away himself.
"Did I hear you correctly. Did you have a question about our dear minister of Magic"? Dolores asked them in an overly sweet voice with a hint of venom. "I can tell you, however, that our own ministry has looked at everything to make sure that it would be completely safe".
Jean looked at her intently as he was searching for the words he could say. He hadn't forgotten what this, Well, he would say dwarf but that would be an insult for the dwarfs who were more tolerant then this toad will ever be. "Are you sure that you would stick by those words? Are you sure that my daughters would be in no danger at all? And are you sure that they will get to the surface unharmed?" He asked her while he was suppressing the anger he was feeling right now.
The Bulgarian minister stepped around Jean and stood next to Dolores while he was looking down at her. This toad had ruined his evening the day she called his wife a beast. So if it were up to him he would blast her to next week and far beyond. And her telling what a wonderful minister they had was nothing more than a lie because he left them all alone during the incident with the world cup and that was something he would never forgive him or this ministry at all.
"I'm only telling you that you have nothing to worry about because our minister and our ministry have everything under control".
Jean bend deeply through his knees as he looked her straight into the eyes. "If the things that you are saying are all right. Then can you explain to me if everything is under control, then why is it that a fourteen-year-old boy is the only one who is doing something to save my two girls". He said as he pulled his wand from his wand-holster.
Dolores looked up at him with her nose in the air as she huffed a little. The thing Harry was doing now was something she did not care about. Those beings were half-bloods who were being helped by another half-blood. So that was nothing to care about. For her they were all the same, they were beast and had to be put down in any way possible. "I assure you that our ministry".
While they were fighting their anger with every word Dolores told them, they could see that Fleur had started to breathe on her own and how she was brought to the hospital tent. The one thing that Jean also wanted was to see Gabrielle starting to breathe. Yet as he turned around to snap at Dolores one more time he heard something that really put the fear in him.
"MERLIN THEY ARE ON FIRE" sounded a voice from the stands that was filled with pure horror from the thing the screaming woman saw. So Jean snapped his head around and saw something that made him dropped to his knees. His youngest daughter and wife were surrounded by fire and from what he saw it was clear that they would never survive this. He jumped up and blasted an Aquamenty spell at them but it was stopped by the dome of Magic that Zanita had placed around them.
*#*
Zanita was oblivious of the world around her. she only knew what was happening in front of her and how this could be the only way to bring back Gabrielle. As she saw Apolline looking at Harry with tears in her eyes she herself looked at the two brown eyes that were looking at Gabrielle. ^Felix, can you hear me too^ she asked in her mind.
^Yes, Lady Hogwarts I can hear you too. Gabrielle can be saved but I can only do it once. I need a lot of magic, even more, then I have myself. I had to take my pic between Minerva Albus you or Harry. A man would be the best but I do not want to use Albus for this. You, however, are also a good choice but I do not know what would happen because you are not really human. So I need harry for this but also because he is truly a light wizard in any way you look at it^.
Zanita nodded because she knew what he meant. She was created from the meat of a basilisk and that could bring some unwanted complications. So Harry was the right choice and also because he was already sitting here next to Gabrielle. ^But Felix I do not understand what you mean, how can you save her if Emma and Harry could not do it. To bring someone back from the dead is something that can not be done. There is no magic in the world that could do that^.
All of this was happening in seconds while the family got closer to the dome and started to pound on it to get Zanita to take it away.
While the circle around the dome became darker from all the people who were looking in and who were trying to get in. Zanita had none of it. Her eyes were on Felix as she waited for him to tell her what to do.
*#*
Felix sat on the head of Gabrielle as he placed his wings on the shoulders of Harry and on Apolline. With his head a little tilted he started to sing a song. The pounding around them stopped as they all listened to the song.
Apolline and Harry didn't hear it at all but for Zanita it became as clear as water. She not only heard the song but also the minds of both Harry and Apollin. Harry was clearly struggling to not give up and to get her back, while Apolline was being pulled in two. one part of her wanted for Harry to go on and save her daughter, while the other part of her knew he had to stop.
As Zanita was waiting she could hear Apolline telling Harry that it was oke and that he had to stop. The hurt was clearly in her voice as she did it but Zanita could understand why she did it.
^Felix what are you waiting for^ Zanita asked. It was then that she saw small flames appear on the body of Felix. ^Felix, what are you doing^? Slowly the flames became bigger and bigger and Zanita saw that he was calling for a burning day. Suddenly the flames burst from his body and surrounded all four of them.
*#*
Apolline saw the fire surround her and started to pull away from Harry, but as she leaned back, her hands were stuck on the cheeks of Harry. She pulled harder but it only pulled Harry into the fire so she stopped and looked down. The fire that was surrounded them was all over the body of her daughter. The fire started to go higher and higher. As the sound of the Fenix song started to ring in her ear.
Apolline looked into the eyes of Harry and felt something inside her womb. She didn't know why or how that could be but it felt familiar to her like a feeling she had before.
*#*
As the Family was slowly surrounding the dome and pushing the others away they saw a blue glow starting to surround Harry. As they gazed on they also saw a yellow glow starting to surround Apolline.
*#*
Harry gazed into the eyes of Apolline and felt his head pull forward by Apolline when he saw the flames become higher and higher. He felt the warmth of the flames but they weren't burning him. As his eyes looked deeper into the eyes of Apolline he felt a hard pull on his magic. The pull he felt was to Apolline and he just didn't understand it.
*#*
The family looked on as a green light started to appear on the belly of Appoline and one on the back of Harry. The green lights were starting to pull towards each other as Felix was completely surrounded by his own flames. Flames that were also around the others but especially around the body of Gabrielle.
Zanita knew that this was it and Apolline had to kiss Harry just like Felix had told her. She stepped closer to Apolline and into the flames as she started to whisper into her ear to kiss Harry on the lips.
Minerva saw it and wanted to pull Zanita back from the flames. However, the dome that was around the five of them kept her from doing it. Bella and Daphne who were looking at it were screaming in horror for Harry to get away from there, but they too were prevented to get him because of the magical dome.
Zanita saw the hesitation in the eyes of Apolline when she told her to kiss Harry. so she sat down behind her and whispered again. "Apolline, Kiss Harry, It will save your Gabrielle. I do not know how but I do know that it will" she told her again as she pushed her a little closer to Harry.
Apolline heard what Zanita was telling her but still didn't know if she could do it. In front of her was a boy of fourteen and that was too young to be kissed by an adult woman. As she pulled back again she could feel that her hands were still stuck to the cheeks of Harry. It was then that she heard Apolline telling her again that she had to kiss Harry, but also to do it because it could save her daughter. She didn't understand how because her daughter was lying dead in front of her surrounded by flames. But still, why would she tell her to do it if it wasn't true. Why would her hands be stuck if there wasn't anything happening? It was then again that she heard the words you can save your daughter going through her mind. So the moral choice about doing it was thrown away. If it could save her daughter then she could kiss a fourteen-year-old boy. Slowly she brought her head to Harry as she pulled his head closer and into the flames. The flames were warm but they were not touching them. Softly she placed her lips on the lips of Harry and kissed him gently.
The eyes of Harry became big when he felt the lips of Apolline on his own lips. He wanted to pull away but his own magic pushed hem to her. He could do nothing about it as he opened his mouth a little and felt the tongue of Apolline asking for entrance. It wasn't a full snog but just two people kissing gently as they closed their eyes.
*#*
As the family looked on they saw how Harry and Apolline got closer to each other as the flames around Gabrielle became bigger and bigger. When they saw Apolline Kissing Harry they all fell silent. Jean who was standing next to Minerva asked her what was happening to them but she didn't know. What they all saw was a green glow going from the spine of Harry towards his mouth. It went from his mouth to the mouth of Apolline and slowly dropped into her tummy.
What they didn't know was that Apolline felt something small settle into her womb.
The fire became bigger and bigger as it started to fill the dome that was around them. Between the flames the could see how the blue glow and the yellow glow that was around the two started to turn green. What happened next resulted in everyone snapping their eyes shut. There was a flash of light that was so bright that it would take most people ten minutes to get their vision back.
Jean was the first to get his vision back and looked at his wife that was still sitting in front of Harry. She wasn't kissing him anymore and her hands were no longer on his cheeks. The one thing what shocked him the most was that Gabrielle was gone. The spot where she had been lying was a pile of ashes.
Zanita stood from behind Apolline and made her way to the place where Felix had been. There was a little pile of ashes that was slowly moving. She bent down and scooped up the baby phoenix that was looking up at her. She saw that Gabrielle had disappeared and she had to ask. "Felix, what just happened^?
Harry was still sitting in front of Apolline and just looked at her with disbelieving eyes when he felt arms surrounding him from all side. The dome had fallen and Bella and Daphne had rushed to the side of Harry. they were touching him everywhere just to see if he was okay. they were even looking at his clothes to see if they were not burned.
Apolline was just looking at Harry and didn't know what had happened. she felt the arms of Jean surrounding her and just looked at him. He kissed her and told her it would be okay. He looked over at Harry and then to Zanita when he asked what was that.
Zanita shook her head and said. "Sorry Jean but not here. Let's go into the tent because this is something that hse to be kept a secret. Felix has just told me what he had done and I can hardly believe it myself".
A/N: This was it again for this week. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
