By morning of the contests, the twins had dress up in their finest winter clothing, Jamie was wearing light blue winter clothing, to match her snowboard, and Harry was wearing black clothing, with white stripes running down his arms and legs, to also match his snowboard, and both was ready to try out the course.
Hours before the contest, the twins and Hermione was eating breakfast in the restaurant, and talking about plans for their run on the course." I guess for all the rails and ramps, I will do simple stunts, but as for the half pipe, and the two cliffs, I might do some complicated ones." Harry informed his friends." I might stick to that plan also, and this time I will try the cliff instead of the underground tunnel." Jamie informed Harry, and Harry nodded in agreement." Harry, Jamie, just be careful, and come out of this contests in one piece, alright." Hermione worriedly said, as she looked to her friends." We'll be fine Hermione, don't worry so, and plus win or lose, we are planning a party once this is over, just the three of us, and if your parents want to join us, they are also invited." Jamie informed Hermione, just as an announcement rang out the restaurant." All finalist, for the contests, you have an hour to be at your assign posts, anyone who isn't sign in at the hour, will be disqualify." The announcement warned, and the twins looked to each other." We better get going Jamie, and see you at the end of the course Hermione." Harry said, and before the twins left, Hermione gave each a good luck hug." See you later, and take care of yourselves." Hermione said, as they said their goodbyes, and separated.
Two hours later, two boarders had gone threw the course, as Harry and Jamie watch from the sidelines." That is odd, why are they jumping from the side of the last cliff." Harry asked Jamie, as he noticed, both runner ups was doing that, instead of jumping from the middle of the cliff, which is much easier to jump from." Would Jamie Potter, please head for the lift, you will be starting in ten minutes." An announcer on the loud speaker called out, before Jamie could answer." I better get going, see you at the end of the course." Jamie said, as she hugged Harry, and left for the lifts." Good luck Jamie, and have a nice trip." Harry called after Jamie, as she left him.
Twenty minutes later, and halfway down the course, Harry notice Jamie had gotten more then half the score she needed, for first place, and was still adding more to it, as she did more complicated stunts." Yes, she will be able to take the lead, if she can pull off a daring stunt on the high cliff." Harry thought as Jamie snowboarded for the finale jump.
As the cliff ramp came into view, Jamie snowboarded to the center of the ramp, but something went wrong, as she went over, her snowboard slipped from under her, and she quickly lost control of the jumped, and seconds later impacted on the soft snow far below the cliff.
As the emergency crew saw Jamie fall, they went quickly into action, and was at the scene seconds after Jamie landed, and then seconds later, pulled a shaken but unhurt Jamie from the snow." I'm fine; just help me to the side." Jamie breathlessly said, as they partially carried her to the sidelines, where a very worried Hermione and Harry stood." I'm fine guys, just shaken a little." Jamie started but fell to the side, but luckily the ones still holding her held her firmly." Not to worry, she will be fully checked over by our doctors." One said, as he lifted a now unconscious Jamie into his arms, and carried her to a waiting stretcher.
For the next fifteen minutes, the contest was on hold, since the judges felt something was wrong with the course, and had their personal check the cliff, but everyone soon got their answers, to what just happened." Sorry for the delay, but we just gotten word, someone had deliberately put ice on the cliff ramp, and it will take us a couple hours to remove it, so we can continue the contest once the ice is removed." The announcer informed, and everyone went back to the hotel, to wait it out.
As Harry and Hermione sat in the lobby, Hermione looked to Harry." How do you suppose Ice got on the course?" Hermione asked Harry, whom was not taking Jamie injury well." Someone must have dump water onto the ramp, and it froze over night." Harry angrily answered." They must have done it, after they set fire to the other course." Hermione started, as her eyes went wide." Of course, they must have used the fire last night to divert the security personal to that course, to sabotage the snowboarding one." Hermione surmised." And I bet the two boarders that went before us had something to do with it." Harry suddenly guessed, as he stood up." I need to have a word with the manager, just in case the officials missed it." Harry quickly said, and rushed off, with Hermione following, unsure what just happened.
Because of last year contest, Harry and Jamie had befriended the Resort Manager name Thomas, and luckily they found him at the course, watching over as the ice was being removed." Thomas, I think I know who did this!" Harry called out breathlessly, as he ran up to the manager." Mr. Potter, do you have any evidence to support this?" Thomas asked, as he looked interested." No, but I believe the first two boarders knew something, since they swerved to the side of the ramp before they jump." Harry quickly explained." Hmm, yes that does sound suspicious, I will have my security personal, to look at the videos of the contest, maybe they can check for anything we had miss, before we confront the boarders." The manager informed Harry, before making it so.
Once the ice was cleared, Harry was in the starting gate, and ready for his finale run on the course." Great, I hope the ice was the only thing they did, to disrupt the contest." Harry thought, as the announcer got everyone's attention." Next up is Harry Potter, whom had scored fourth place in the time trials, and our one of two youngest boarders in the contest." The announcer said, and Harry was giving the signal to make his run.
As Harry left the starting gate, he went straight for the half pipe, and went up it three times, the first two, he did some Grab air two-handed inverts, and on the third time, he sped up, to go up high into the air, to do a couple combinations stunts, and landed perfectly, to snowboard down the course.
On the ramps and rails, Harry went on the longer rails, or aimed for many of the ramps to do simple stunts, and thankfully for this, Harry knew he had scored enough to almost reach his goal, for a high score.
On the middle cliff, Harry did more combination stunts, and quickly stopped himself, just seconds before he landed, and continued down the course.
On the obstacle course, Harry smiled, as he used the ramps that were scatter about, to jump over the small houses, or the other obstacles to add points, and once he was cleared, he got ready for the finale jump.
One the finale cliff, Harry jumped it without any problems, and was able to four combinations, before landing, and thanks to that, he knew he was in the lead, as he passed the finish line.
As Harry braked, to stop just feet from the wall, he quickly magically removes his snowboard, to jump back, as someone made a lounge at him." You fool; you made me lose my place!" A teenager yelled, as he continued his assault." You'll pay for this!" The teenager yelled, as Harry had enough, and used his magic to make him stronger, and swatted the teenager hands away." You had your chance on the course, so why not just accept you're lost." Harry calmly said, as he realized the boy was the first place boarder for the time trial, and not only that, he knew him, even if he was still wearing his ski mask." I won't since no one was supposed to beat us; after all we did last night!" The boy yelled as he continue his attack, but Harry had enough, and side kick the older boy's legs, causing him to fall face down onto the snow.
As the teenager was attacking Harry, the security was rushing to help, but stopped as Harry knocked the boy down, and pulled the older boys ski masked, to see who it was." Donald Dursley, I thought I recognize your voice." Harry said, as he saw a skinnier version of his cousin Dudley." DONALD DURSLEY!" Someone yelled, causing Harry to turn to see a security guard come up to him." He and his family was banned from the Resort a couple years ago, how did he con his way back." The security guard asked, with not so friendly tone." Sir, he must have used another name to enter the contest, and then change his hair color, to further his disguised." Harry explained, since Donald had black haired now, but he should have brown hair, like his relatives have." I see that now!" The security guard said, and pulled up the now frighten teenager up." You can't do anything to me, I haven't done anything wrong!" Donald yelled." You are wrong about that, since we have video evidence that shows you and one other dumping water on the course, and during the contest you and another had swerved away from the ice, which also proved that you knew about the ice, but didn't say anything." The security guard angrily said, as he and others dragged Donald away.
As Donald was dragged away, Harry was again assaulted by a brown haired girl." Oh Harry, thank god you are safe." Hermione cried, as she gave huge bear hugged to Harry." I'm alright, but I think the Resort medical personal should be done with checking Jamie, so lets head there now." Harry suggested, and the two friends left, as soon as Harry gathered up his snowboard.
In a private room, Hermione and Harry were surprised to see Tamara looking over Jamie with his device pointed to her." What are you doing Mr. Tamara?" Hermione asked, as she didn't know what the device was." Jamie is weak, because the micro robots that is in her, had drain themselves, when they healed her twice in twenty-four period, so I'm helping with the recharging of magic, of both Jamie and her micro robots." Tamara started, as he continued moving the device about Jamie's body." You see, Jamie and the micro robots, rely on each other to stay alive, so if one is completely drain of magic, the other to will be drained also." Tamara finished, as he continued his exam." Ah Uncle, Hermione doesn't know about Jamie." Harry worriedly informed, as Tamara nodded." Then I suggest you tell Hermione everything, since sooner or later, she will figure this out, and I would prefer when I'm here." Tamara suggested, and Harry took Hermione to their rooms.
Once in their room, Harry told Hermione everything, as she stared wide-eyed at Harry." So you are telling me, that Mr. Tamara is an alien policeman from the future trying to save this world from being overrun by dark magic, and Jamie is a clone made from you." Hermione questioned, as she and Harry sat on a sofa." That's about it, and oh don't forget that I'm the one that suppose to save the world from evil." Harry said, shaking his head at thought." And I know you will, with Jamie's help to do it!" Hermione firmly started." Since what I saw what you both did as Kaitlyn, I'm sure you both are unstoppable, and can handle anything that comes your way." Hermione finished, as Harry looked to her." I guess you are right, but we are far from having the power to fully stop Voldemort, once he is resurrected in three years, he will still be more powerful then us combine." Harry informed with a long sigh." Can we do anything to stop it from happening?" Hermione asked." No, since any main event that happen in the last timeline, will also happen in this one, no matter what we do." Harry informed." Tamara had firmly said that we should try to keep both timelines, as identical, as possible, until the finale battle, a battle, which he had not yet informed me of when it will happen." Harry finished, as they both stayed silent for a while.
For sometime, Harry and Hermione stayed silent, till the door opened, to reveal Tamara, and a slightly tired Jamie." I done as much as I can for Jamie, but merging will completely restore her magic." Tamara informed, as Harry nodded, and went up to Jamie." I'm glad you are doing well." Harry smiled." I'm glad also." Jamie said, as they took each other hands, and became Kaitlyn in a split second." Good, you are getting faster in merging, but for now, I need you both to stay as Kaitlyn, for a couple hours, it should fully restore Jamie's magic." Tamara informed, as Kaitlyn gave a worried look." TWO HOURS! "Kaitlyn suddenly said." We never stayed in this form for two hours!" Kaitlyn explained." Then I suggest you start practicing now!" Tamara firmly informed Kaitlyn, and then teleported away.
Once Tamara was gone, Kaitlyn gave out a heavy sigh." Do you both do everything, your uncle asked you to do?" Hermione asked, as she looked to Kaitlyn." Just about, he really is nice to us, but when training is involved, he is really strict, and we must do everything he asked us to do, but other then during training, we can do what ever we want." Kaitlyn explained." Oh well, at least he doesn't try to control your lives." Hermione said, as she got up." Hey Kaitlyn, can you change your white robes, to something a Muggle would wear?" Hermione question, and Kaitlyn stood up, and in a flash, she was wearing a blue and black jacket, and thick pants." Good, now lets go and watch the rest of the contest, which is lucky for you, they do the awards ceremony tomorrow." Hermione grinned, as she dragged Kaitlyn out of the room.
Luckily for Kaitlyn, no one noticed a new face in the crowd, until after the contests, and as she and Hermione entered the hotel." Hello Hermione, who is your friend?" Hermione mom asked as she came up to her daughter." This is Kaitlyn Evans, a six year classmate attending our school." Hermione answered, as Kaitlyn step up to Mrs. Granger." Glad to finally meet you Mrs. Granger." Kaitlyn greeted, as Mr. Granger looked Kaitlyn over." Hmm, are you related to the Potter twins, since I see a family resemblance?" Mrs. Granger kindly questioned." Ah, I might be who knows." Kaitlyn said, unsure how to answer that question." Sorry mom, but I want to check on Jamie, she is now in our rooms, along with Harry, whom is looking after her." Hermione quickly apologized as she dragged Kaitlyn away, and into their rooms.
The following morning after the award ceremony" which Harry won first place, and Jamie was given a full apology by the manager" the twins, and Hermione were finished packing up, when the there was a knock on the door." Who is it?" Jamie called out, as they were now resting in the parlor." Just making sure you both are ready, since we are leaving in an hour." Mr. Granger informed the friends, and they quickly answered." We are all done, and can't wait to get back to Hogwarts!" The twins said, along with Hermione, and soon they all were on the way home.
Several days before arriving at Hogwarts, Harry and Jamie were sitting outside their home, resting from their ski trip when an old owl fell to ground before them." Is it dead?" Jamie asked," since the owl was not moving" but Harry shook his head." No just exhausted." Harry answered as he conjured a large pillow and place the owl on it, while at the same time removed a letter.

Once the twins read the letter, they looked to each other." Great, we can now prank them at home!" Jamie grinned, as they got up to see Tamara, whom quickly gave the OK to go, for the rest of the holidays.
