Chapter13:
that evening after they'd finnished dinner Luna showed harriet how to enter the room of requirment. which looking very much like it had before when they had been hear with Harry Potter.
Then over the next 10 minuets the rest of the members began to appear.
Everyone fell silent waiting for someone to speak. Then finally Harriet said:
"as you all know we are hear to raise war on the Carrow's. But first I think we all need to write our names down so no one can snitch"
everyone nodded and murmured in agreement. Then finally Zackerius Smith said:
"who are you, you weren't hear last time, who said you could come?"
"I am Harriet Dursley Luna, Neville and Ginny said I could come" she replied.
"and who said you were in charge" the boy persisted rudly.
"no one but someone had to start, so if you'd like to continue go ahead"
zackerius didn't move. He didn't speak either. Then from out her bag Luna pulled a piece of parchment which was quickly passed rond and everyone signed. Then finally it arrived at Harriet who taped with her wand.
"did you do that non-verbal" Neville asked incredibly.
"yes, but I've been able to do that for a long time"
"wow, I still can't do non-verbal spells and I'm in 7th year"
"what did you you do anyway?" someone asked.
"sign my name" Harriet replied.
"how?" a different person asked.
"because Harriet is blind" Luna said saving Harriet the trouble of answering.
"oh" several people said in response to this statement.
"shall we start then?" Neville asked.
"yes, I think so" Luna replied looking around.
Everyone nodded.
"I think then we should recap what we did last year starting with the shield charms and expeliamus" Neville said sounding nervous at taking charge.
"lets split into pears" Ginny said.
Every one spite up. Harriet found himself with Luna.
"come on Neville join us" she said "you should practice too"
Neville came over. He was very good but unable to compete with Harriet who might be blind but still had perfect aim.
"how do you aim?" he asked finally as his wand flew out of his hand for the 5th time.
"Sound" Harriet replied simply "do you have any idea how noisy you are?"
"oh" Neville replied simply.
Then when everyone had had sufficient practice they went on to do stunning.
When they finally left the room of requirement the Carrow's and the upcoming hearing were almost out of her mind.
Then however just as they climbed up a staircase they saw some one who brought all the top of the staircase she and Luna were climbing stood the two Carrow's. They were talking softly.
"how much scum have you tort today?" one said.
"lots, but think Amicus, soon all that will be gone"
"yes I agree Alecto, of course, when do the hearings start?"
"the 7th" the one called Alecto replied. Then suddenly they both fell sightless. They had seen Harriet and Luna at the bottom of the staircase.
"I thought I smelt something" Amicus sad sneering down at them.
"yes, come up hear" Alecto ordered.
There was no point in running. There was nothing they could do. They made their way towards the two Carrow's.
"well, I think this is certainly course for a detention, wouldn't you say Alecto"
"yes especially for the mud blood" she replied. Looking down at Harriet.
"she's not a mud blood" Luna said loudly glaring at Alecto Carrow.
"ssh!" Harriet whispered. But it was too late.
"what do you mean, not a mud blood?" Amicus geared. "of course she's a mud blood".
Quite suddenly Luna realised what trouble she'd got Harriet in. then she said. Trying to sound confident.
"she's my cousin"
the Carrow's burst out laughing. Not because they thought it was funny. It was a mocking evil sound.
Then at the bottom of the stairs appeared someone who no one except Harriet seemed to notice.
"what on earth is going on hear?" came McGonigall's stern voice from behind them.
"these two were sneaking around after curfew" a Carrow said.
McGonigall looked down at her watch.
"i believe it is still 2 minuets until curfew" she said looking up at the Carrow's.
"well there not going to get to their common-room till then are they" Amicus sneered.
"no I doubt they will now that you've stopped them"
at these words Amiucus looked like he'd like to murder McGonigall on the spot. Alecto however looked like she'd like to torture her first.
But they both realised they had lost the battle. They would have to let Harriet and Luna go back to bed.
