Chapter 2: The Dementors
Harry's POV
I kept busy for most of the summer by doing work for my aunt. Most of it was translating text but there was also mortal things like getting food and going out into the fields to gather ingredients for potions that my aunt was brewing. She followed the path of Sekhmet, meaning that she was really good at healing and combat magic. She was the one that taught me most of what I knew.
"I FOUND A MANDRAKE," she screamed and I ran over to her. "Alright, it's an adult. Earmuffs."
I handed her a pair and I put mine on. Once she had hers in place she yanked it right out of the ground and it let out a horrible scream that most likely killed someone down the lane. I cut it in half, killing it, and then we put it inside a glass container and she labeled it.
"Gods, they're nasty," she said. "Come on, let's get-."
The sky had suddenly turned dark and the air biting cold. I knew only one thing that would cause the air to turn that cold; a Dementor.
"GET TO THE CAR," my aunt screamed, "GET TO THE CAR."
We ran through the fields and made it just as six Dementors arrived. She put the car into gear and bolted. The Dementors could open doors, allowing them to suck your soul out. The Dementors could sense me and that's what scared me.
"Your father told me the location of Sirius house," she said, "He might not be Secret Keeper but you can break the charm to get us in."
"No problem," I said and I saw one blocking the road. "Turn right."
She did and the Dementor was left behind.
"The others are following."
"Damn, it got your scent," she said.
"They have had my scent for two years," I told her.
"Remind me to kill Albus Dumbledore when I find him."
We dodged Dementors all the way to London. I got on the phone and told Uncle Vernon that I was about to attempt something that hadn't been done before. Break through a Fidelius Charm.
"Where the bloody hell are you both at?"
"Heading for London," I answered.
"If anything happens to either of you my sister-in-law and your father won't be happy."
"Let's just hope that nothing happens."
I could hear Vernon cursing and then the line went dead. She turned right down a road and then stopped.
"Get your wand out," she said, "Your Egyptian wand, not your other wand, and your staff. We need to form a shield while you work on breaking the charm."
I nodded.
"And don't forget the Mandrake," she added and I grabbed it.
All six Dementors appeared and I slammed my staff down, creating a field around us.
"Gods, their just as bad as Lily told me," she said.
"We can do this," I told her and then I started to chant.
My spell hit the charm and it fought against my magic. I knew this was Dumbledore's handwork as his wand signature was all over it. Finally cracks formed around the charm and then it broke. The house appeared, moving back others.
"Alright, cast your Patronus," she ordered. "In three, two-."
I pulled out my wand.
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!"
The doe came out of my wand and charged at the Dementors. They scattered and we bolted, my hands around the glass jar of the Mandrake. She blasted the door open and we piled inside, slamming it shut.
"And who said that being a magician was boring," she said.
"You know I'm going to get into trouble," I told her.
"I'll take care of them," she said, "What I want to know is why Dementors were near us."
"I doubt the Ministry will give you an answer."
"Why do I have a feeling that your right."
Suddenly I sensed the spells coming and I screamed, "LOOK OUT" and cast a shielding spell around us, making the spells dissipate on contact.
"Thanks," she said.
"Thank Quidditch training," I told her.
The casters appeared and I knew who some of them were, but not all of them.
"Harry," Sirius said.
"That's not Harry, Sirius," Remus said, "How did you break through Dumbledore's charm?"
"How the bloody hell did they know it was here?" someone asked.
"Oh and this comes from someone that Sirius asked to help him kill Peter Pettigrew," I said, "And who I demanded to know more about him."
"That-."
A letter sudden appeared out of a room and it opened its mouth, which is damn creepy.
Dear Mr. Potter,
It has come to our attention that at three forty five this afternoon you cast the Patronus Charm in a heavily muggle city in the presence of a muggle. You have received a warning three years ago for breaching the Statue of Secrecy by performing a Hovering Charm. This serious breach of the Statue of Secrecy warrants your expulsion from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A Ministry official will be by to snap your wand.
Sincerely,
Madam Hopkirk
Misuse of Magic,
Ministry of Magic
"See, told you," I said.
"Oh and are they going to forget that my sister was a witch," Petunia snarled. "Oh they are so not expelling anyone."
"Harry," Mr. Weasley said.
"Yeah, it's me," I told him.
"The letter would only apply to the person and not someone pretending to be Potter," Moody said. "Remus, get Albus. The last thing that we need is some nosy Ministry official coming in here."
Remus hurried and left and I lowered the shield.
"How did you find this place?" Sirius asked.
"I told her," the cold voice of my father saidand then he appeared.
"Snape," Sirius snarled.
"Oh don't be so delighted in seeing me," my father said. "I had a feeling that Potter would be doing something foolish."
"It was Dementors, Severus," Aunt Petunia said, "Six of them."
"You're a-."
"I FUCKING SAW THEM," she screamed, forgetting to act lady-like. "DON'T STAND THERE AND INSULT WHAT I SAW WITH MY OWN EYES."
"She's right, there were six of them and they were coming after us," I told them.
"This isn't good," a black man said.
"Harry, this is Kingsley Shaklebolt," Sirius told me. "He's Head Auror with the Ministry."
Another letter arrived.
Dear Mr. Potter,
Due to changes in circumstances a hearing has been held to determine guilt. A time and date will be set.
And it was from the same person.
"So this is how they cover their butts," my aunt said. "Give a trial."
"Dumbledore is coming to recast the charm," Remus said, "And he wants answers on how the charm was shattered."
"Severus, we're going to have to tell them," Petunia told him. "It's the only way."
"I agree," I said.
"What are you on about?" Sirius asked.
"Let's wait for Dumbledore."
