Sirius' Savior

Chapter 10 Harry's Adventure

A/N: As this chapter takes place on Bali it is safe to think that although this chapter is written in English it actually took place in BALINESE.

July 27, 1988 Bali 8 a.m.

Harry and his best friends Hadi and Johan were waiting for Liana to get off the phone they were supposed to be leaving for the semi-finals match of their tournament. They had won the match to get to the quarter final and their quarter final match two days ago. Today was the semi final and if they won the final match of the football tournament. But they were going to be late if Liana took much longer.

"Boys bad news, Siska has gone into labor and they can't stop it so I must go to the hospital."

"But Liana..." Harry immediately protested. Only to have his friends joining in but calling Liana but the terms they knew her by.

"Shush, shush, shush. I have called Johan's parents they are sending Ivan to take you to your match. I will see you tonight when you get back."

Relieved Harry thought of the mother-to-be. "I hope Siska and the baby are okay; it's bad if a baby is born early right?" Harry said.

"Siska is getting good care and Sri will be there. Siska and the baby will be fine." Liana reassured him.

July 27,1988 Bali 6:30 p.m.

"Johan where's Ivan?" Harry asked.

"I don't know. He went to get something he said he'd be back after the match."

Five minutes later Johan said, "There he is! Thanks for waiting coach." Their coach waved his hand and climbed into the van that carried the rest of the team. Two minutes later he pulled out of the parking lot. Just as Ivan pulled into a slot crookedly.

Ivan got out of the car and staggered. "Houwse the game?'

Hadi looked at Harry uncertainly before answering "We lost in the final."

"Thash too bad."

"Ivan what have you been drinking?" Harry asked.

"Good stuffsh."

Harry made a decision. He pulled the keys from Ivan's grasp.

Ivan blinked stupidly,"Whys you do thash?'

"You are too drunk to drive." Harry backed away.

"Shez whos?" Ivan moved towards Harry only to fall forward on the ground. When he didn't move Harry moved forward to check him.

"Guys he's passed out. What are we going to do?"

"My parents are gonna kill him."

Hadi grimaced,"I think they're gonna have to stand in line. Grandma will probably make him wish he was dead."

"What should we do?" Johan said.

"I have the cell phone Sirius got for me. I think we should call." Harry dug the phone out of his sports bag. "Reception isn't great but here goes." The phone on the other end rang ten times with no answer. "Liana must still be at the hospital. No answer." He looked at the phone as it shut down. "Crud, no more battery. So now what?"

"I know," Johan said gleefully, "we could drive the car home."

"Yeah great idea!" Hadi seconded.

"We're too short." Harry said.

"Well, one of you could steer while I work the pedals."

"It should be Harry he knows about steering because Bapak Black taught him to ride his motor cycle." Hadi said.

"Hadi!"

"Please Harry! We'll put Ivan in the backseat though I'd rather leave the idiot here. It will be an adventure." Johan pleaded.

Harry looked at his friends pleading faces, and rolled his eyes."Fine but for the record I said it was a bad idea." Then he promptly cheered up, he was finally having an adventure. He had heard so many stories from Sirius about his father's adventures, he thought having an adventure sounded fun. Sirius for all his stories of adventures had been so protective of Harry that he had not had one before.

The three boys wrestled the young man's inert body back towards the car. It was only a few yards but it was hard for them. Just as Harry let go of his left arm so he could open the backseat car door. Ivan suddenly started vomiting. It almost hit Harry. "Gross! I think I'm gonna be sick!"

"Let's put him in from the other side so none of us step in it."Hadi said.

After Ivan's body was in the backseat, they discussed how they were going to do this. Hadi said, "I think I can navigate us home after all it's an island."

"I think we should stick to small side roads and go slow, we don't want to cause an accident."Harry said. The other boys nodded. "Okay let's do this."

Three hours and two dead ends later Harry insisted they stop and get a map and something to eat. Since he got an allowance he paid. Unfortunately he only had enough left after the map for a bag of crisps. He had the store owner show him where they were on the map. He then found their home village, then he figured a path home. As they left Johan asked "Harry how much longer do you think it will be?"

"Well given that we average twenty miles and hour and we have about eighty-eight miles to home it's going to be a while."

At the Villa de Sable at the same time.

Liana entered the house she wondered how Harry and Hadi's game had gone. Siska's baby boy was so small. The doctor said he would keep him a few days to be sure he wouldn't have trouble, but he didn't anticipate any problems. No car outside, Ivan that irresponsible boy must have taken Johan home instead of waiting with Harry and Hadi like she asked. She went to Harry's room to peek in on the boys. The bunk bed was empty!

Liana reached into her pocket and pulled out the cell phone Bapak Black had given her. She dialed Harry's phone there was no answer she wondered if it was charged. Harry tended to forget to do that every night.

She dialed Johan's parents. They were worried when she told them the boys were not yet home. She called her son in case instead of coming back to the villa, they went to Hadi's house. They weren't there. She then called the coach. He confirmed that Ivan had arrived to pick up the boys after the game although he had been late. He admitted that he left before Ivan had done more than pull into the parking lot. He told her they may have stopped for dinner. He had only gotten home twenty minutes ago, if they stopped and took their time on the road it could be another hour before they got home. Liana sat down where she could watch the clock.

Four hours and ten minutes later Harry steered the now dead car to the side of the road. He frowned, this adventure was turning out a lot less fun than Sirius' stories. Johan and Hadi were clamouring "What's wrong why have we stopped?"

"We're out of gas."

"But we're not home yet."

"I know but if we follow this road we will get to our villiage."

"How will we get there if we're out of gas?"

"Walk I guess."

"But it's dark! I'm tired and I'm hungry!" Hadi protested.

"What about snakes! And how far do you think?" Johan said.

"I estimate we're five or six miles from my house. Yes It's dark but the moon is almost full and I'd rather walk than try to sleep in this car. It still smells of Ivan's throw up. As far as snakes, I'll hear them if they get close."

"What about Ivan?"

"He can stay here."

Liana was quietly going out of her mind. After an hour she had called Chief Salim. He worked with Sirius so she figured he would help since Sirius was in Japan. He had called other police in other areas but there had been no accidents on the main roads. He said a check of the side roads would have to wait till daybreak. She had called Sirius and told him Harry, Hadi, Johan and Ivan, Johan's older brother were missing. She told him why she wasn't with Harry and why Ivan was. He said he didn't blame her and that he would see if he could get an early portkey but unfortunately that was unlikely as he was on duty for the closing breakfast on the twenty-ninth. It was now 3:35 a.m. What would she do if something happened to the boys? She paced the living room for what seemed the thousandth time.

Suddenly the door opened, three exhausted boys stood in the entry way.

Harry had never been happier to see the gates for the villa. He wanted nothing more than to strip and climb into bed. His friends seemed to be in even worse shape. Together they stumbled up the stairs to the front door. They stumbled through the doors and into the brightly lit living room. Liana all but tackled them.

"Where have you been? Are you all right? What happened?"

Hadi looked at his grandmother and burst into tears. Far from reassuring her, his reaction made her even more frantic.

Harry although exhausted, said, "We're alright just tired, can we go to bed now? Please?"

Liana calmed with Harry's quiet but confident voice. "Of course. She helped the boys stumble to the bedroom and undressed Hadi and Johan putting them in extras of Harry's pajama's. Harry pulled his own pajama's on and he pulled the spare futon mattress from the closet. Harry gave her a look indicating she should put Johan and Hadi in the bunk bed. He flopped onto the futon and when she next glanced at him he was asleep. She put a blanket over him then headed to the phone.
