I don't own Harry Potter or Code Lyoko

Swarming Attack

A hornet passed by a building and into a science room. It landed on a microscope. Smoke and sparks came out of a computer and the eye of Xana appeared on the monitor. The smoke engulfed the hornet as it appeared on the screen with a magnification. It then proceeded to head to the main hive.

Lyoko

A tower in the forest sector started to glow red.

Ulrich's and Odd's dorm

A letter was slid under the door. Ulrich looked out but saw no one outside so he picked up the letter. "What?! Ulrich, I don't know how to tell you this, so I'm writing it. I've always admired you. I've been wanting to tell you for ages, but I didn't have the nerve…also, I wasn't a hundred percent sure, but now I am. I love you. Signed, Yumi." read Ulrich. "Wait, I already know that Yumi loves me. Oh great. Sissi!"

Outside

Jeremy yawned.

"You look tired," said Yumi.

"He's been staying up all night," explained Harry. "Working on the materialisation program. I've been working on it as well but it feels like I'm banging my head against the wall. The answer's right in front of me. I know it!"

"Actually I've been working on a little program. A research engine of sorts. It's to allow Aelita to look for more information on materialisation in the towers."

Harry perked up then grabbed his head.

"Xana again?" asked Odd.

"Yep. I think he's possessing hornets this time and not the virtual ones! Anyway, do you want any help on your engine Jeremy? I know how to program one."

"Just imagine all the things she's going to learn when she gets here! She's going to be amazed!" exclaimed Odd. "Oh yeah. Thanks for the help Harry. The teachers act surprised when I get the answers right."

"I think about it all the time. I can't wait for that day to come! Yeah, it's going to…it's going to be great… I just hope she doesn't fall for Harry," said Jeremy, blushing.

"What?" asked Odd. "Jeremy are you nuts? Aelita sees Harry as more like a brother. I think. And Harry won't make a move on her because he knows how you feel about her."

"Do you know I'm still here" asked Harry. "I don't have any intentions of making a move on Aelita! She's more like a little sister than anything else!"

"Hi Ulrich," said Yumi.

"Hi guys," said Ulrich as the bell went. "Yumi, can I talk to you about something after class?"

"Uh, sure."

"Ok guys, it's time for us to work up a sweat!" said Odd. Harry groaned.

"I hate PE! I'm not athletic or anything like that!"

Sports field

Odd kicked the ball towards the goal. It hit Jeremy in the stomach and Ulrich lay down thinking about the letter.

"Ulrich, watch out!" When his vision came back, he saw Harry, Jim, Jeremy and Odd above him.

"Are you ok?" asked Jeremy. Harry clutched his head again.

Lockers

"Oh, how could that have happened?" asked Ulrich.

"Hey Ulrich, don't take this badly, but…your playing was kinda weird today," said Jeremy.

"You could say that again! Why, even Jeremy was better than you today!" exclaimed Odd. "And he's really bad! No offense Jeremy."

"None taken."

"My mind wasn't on the game, lay off!"

"Does this have anything to do with a letter?" asked Harry.

"Well, I got this letter from a girl. The kind of letter a girl sends when she's…" said Ulrich.

"He's in loo-oove! Hahahahaha! Ulrich's in loo-oove!" teased Odd

"We already know that Odd! He's going out with Yumi" yelled Harry. "And this is already bad for Ulrich! Don't make it worse!"

"That's the problem! I'm not in love with the sender! It's Sissi," Said Ulrich.

"How do you know that?" asked Odd.

"Because the letter was signed by Yumi and it said 'Ulrich, I don't know how to tell you this, so I'm writing it. I've always admired you. I've been wanting to tell you for ages, but I didn't have the nerve…also, I wasn't a hundred percent sure, but now I am. I love you.' That doesn't sound like Yumi at all. It's not her handwriting!" exclaimed Ulrich.

Harry nodded. "It's her alright. I saw her with a letter in her hand as I went down the stairs."

"Uh…hey, Odd, did I really play better than him?" asked Jeremy randomly.

Cafeteria

"You wanted to speak to me," said Yumi as she sat down opposite from Ulrich.

"Yeah. Look at this," said Ulrich as he fished the letter out of his pocket. "What do you think?"

"Well, I didn't send it," said Yumi. "It's not my handwriting either."

"Yeah, I know. I had to make sure though. Harry and I think it came from Sissi."

"Hm…Emilie! Yeah! Yeah, yeah, it's her! Look, I'm an expert with girls – she's pretty, she's the outdoors type – she's the one who'd flip for him!" said Odd as they sat down. "Is that the letter?"

"Oh yeah, who is Emilie flipped over?" asked Yumi.

"It's Jim! Emilie's crazy about Jim!"

"Jim? You're kidding! Well they say that love is blind!" said Yumi. She noticed Jim behind her. "Oh! I uh…um, sorry…"

"We need to sort out Sissi," said Ulrich.

"You could walk together, hand in hand, where Sissi is" suggested Harry.

"That's a good idea. Thanks Harry."

"Harry, can you help me with maths?" asked Odd.

"Sure. I see you're really into this."

Outside

Kiwi was running around and paused to pee against a tree. He started to bark and whimper. Harry ran up and saw stings on him. "Kiwi?"

He saw a swarm of hornets. "I guess Xana's going for an animal theme! Run Kiwi!" They made it back to the school but Kiwi collapsed.

Odd's and Ulrich's dorm

"Thanks for bringing Kiwi back. I just hope he'll be ok…" Odd said.

"Don't worry Odd, he'll be back on his feet in no time! I mean, back on his paws!" said Jeremy.

"I think Xana's attacking," said Harry. "The hornets that attacked us… they were the same ones I saw. I'm certain of it! I need to go see the principal about the hornets."

There was a knock on the door.

"I brought some anti-venom pills and medicine," said Yumi when Harry opened the door. "And what's this about Xana?"

"He's attacking." Harry closed the door after exiting the room.

"Harry thinks he's attacking," said Jeremy. "We should keep an eye out."

"This should make you feel better," said Odd as he gave Kiwi the medicine.

"Sissi's outside by the way," said Yumi. "Want to try Harry's plan later, after class? They say Emilie is in love with Jim! At least, that was what Odd was saying."

"Really?" asked Ulrich. Odd gulped.

Principal's office

"I heard this buzzing sound from a tree," said Harry. "There must be dangerous insects up there."

"Thank you for telling me," said Delmas. "I'll sort it out."

Outside

The school caretaker came out of the shed and headed to the site. The students heard a scream as the caretaker ran from the hornets. Eventually they covered him.

"Help! Help!"

"We've got to attract the bugs! Let's go," said Ulrich.

"I'll get to Lyoko or get the scan running or both!" said Harry. They separated. The hornets followed Ulrich, Jeremy and Odd pulled the man inside and Harry headed towards the factory.

"We've got to get him to the infirmary," said Jeremy.

"What about Ulrich?" asked Odd.

"He can take care of himself."

Ulrich.

Ulrich ran down the steps but was pushed out of the way of the swarm by Yumi.

"That way! Hurry!"

They entered the building and Yumi kicked the door shut.

"Hey, you're hurt."

"It's nothing serious Ulrich. Where's Harry? I thought he was with you."

"Where do you think? That brother of mine has an obsession with going to Lyoko."

They noticed how close they were and blushed.

"We'd better go now."

Infirmary

"Well?"

"He was lucky. One more bite and he'd…"

"Yeah, that's right," said Odd. "But he's not in great shape."

"The principal's sent for help from the professionals. They'll take care of the hive. I don't know what you guys think but…"

"You think it is Xana," said Odd. "We get it. It's always Xana. It could just be a normal hornet's nest. They attack anyone!"

"That's true," said Ulrich. "But they were attacking just us. That's why Harry's gone to check! Remember, Harry did get a headache out of the blue this morning, one of Xana's headaches."

"Yeah, but remember, Harry had just had PE. It could be dehydration," said Odd.

"Odd, I saw him drink water! That wasn't dehydration!"

"I'm going to class," said Yumi. "But keep me posted."

"Do you realise the damage the bugs can cause?" asked Odd. "There are thousands of them! Since all the evidence points to Xana, we're going to have to be careful as it could be a very serious problem!"

"I'm going to try to contact Aelita," said Jeremy. "Maybe Harry as well. Ulrich?"

Ulrich was staring down the corridor.

"We know you like Yumi but you need to pay attention!"

"Ahem! What's all this about me being in love with Jim?!" asked Emilie as she slapped Odd. "Start that rumour again and even your dog won't recognise you!"

She stormed off.

Harry's and Jeremy's room

Jeremy was at his computer again.

"Aelita? Aelita?"

"Hello."

"We have a problem. Have you heard from Harry? He's gone to the lab."

"Not yet."

"Oh, hey Jeremy," said Harry from the supercomputer.

"What have you been doing? You're faster than that!"

"I was taking the scenic route!"

"Be serious," said Jeremy.

"Hornets were chasing me!"

"That's reasonable."

"Aelita, have you noticed anything?" asked Harry as he set up the scan.

"No. Things are quiet in the desert. But I can check out the other sectors."

"The tower's in the forest. I wish I had a tower detector as well as a Xana detector. That way, we could home in on the tower."

"You can program abilities, remember? That's actually a good idea," said Jeremy. "It would mean we wouldn't waste time looking for the exact place where the tower is, especially if Xana hid it. I suggest you get over there Harry."

"Ok. See you in a bit. Aelita, I'm meet you in the forest. Jeremy, I'm sending you the results of the scan" Harry fell silent as Jeremy received an email.

Lyoko

Harry dropped down next to a rower in the forest sector.

"Hey, Jeremy! Where's Aelita?"

"You selected the wrong tower Harry. She's the next tower along."

Harry ran off.

"I'll tell the others. You two, take care. You are our only hope."

"We know that!"

Odd

"Hey, Jeremy," said Odd as he answered his phone. "Is something wrong?"

"Xana's activated a tower. Aelita and Harry are trying to find it… and each other."

"Ok. Whenever Harry gat's a headache, check Lyoko!"

Yumi and Ulrich

"Ok. Looks like something's up," said Yumi.

"Hey, there's Sissi," said Ulrich. "How about we try Harry's plan now?"

"Ok."

Ulrich put his arm around Yumi and walked off. Sissi spluttered.

"Ulrich, didn't you get my letter?" she asked.

"What letter from you? The only letter I got was from Yumi."

Sewers

"Why was Harry's skateboard still there?" asked Odd as they rode down the path. "I thought he was on Lyoko."

"He is," said Jeremy. "Apparently he took the scenic route because of the hornets."

"And he couldn't run through them or over them like he did with the rats?"

"They're flying Odd! How can he jump over them? He'd probably get stung is he ran through them and we both know he's the strongest. Oh No!"

There were hornet nests on the ladder.

"Now we know why Harry's skateboard was still there," said Odd. "He came down this way and went back to avoid the hornets."

"Nice going Xana! Good thing at least one of us got there."

"Jeremy, any suggestions would be very welcome! And don't they have a good sense of smell?"

"Uh, get away from here as fast as we can?" asked Jeremy as they attempted to flee back down the sewer but were cut off by another swarm of hornets. "We're trapped!"

"Hey, got any other ideas?"

"Jump! " Jeremy said as he pulled Odd into the sewer water then into a pipe on the other side of the sewer.

"This is your idea?!" asked Odd.

"Insects are very sensitive to smells! You said that remember!"

"They're not the only ones, huh! Ugh! And I said that they had a good sense of smell, not that it was sensitive!"

They watched the hornets go elsewhere.

"Hey, it worked!" said Odd as they exited the pipe.

"Looks like it. And you're clever odd. Just not in academic subjects."

"Aw, thanks!"

Park

"What's that smell?" asked Yumi.

"Ask Jeremy!"

"What kept you two?" asked Jeremy.

"Sissi."

"I don't envy you."

Jeremy opened his laptop.

"Aelita?"

"Hello Jeremy.

"Have you met up with Harry yet?"

"Yep. We can see the tower as well but there are about a hundred Krabes and some hornets. I think Xana can only send in a maximum of a hundred monsters of a single type at a time. That explains why there isn't more," Harry said as he looked at the crowded path.

"You stay back until we get there." Jeremy closed his laptop.

"How are we going to get past the hornets?" asked Odd.

"I'm ahead of you Odd."

Sewer

"Well? What's the plan?" asked Odd as they looked at the hives.

Jeremy pulled out a machine that made a noise and drove it towards the hornets.

"Bingo!"

The hornets started to

"Pretty clever huh? This thing creates a high pitched noise which drives off the hornets."

"Let's move."

They headed to the ladder and started to climb up it. The device stopped beeping.

"Your thing stopped! How come? Did it run out of power?" asked Ulrich.

"Uh…battery's dead!"

"What?!"

"HURRY UP!" they yelled. Ulrich quickly climbed up the ladder and they shut the hatch.

Lyoko

Harry was throwing shuriken left and right as the Krabes advanced.

"Oh man. I have to run out of shuriken soon. I've already run out of laser arrows. Xana really wants to get rid of me. He's sent nearly four thousand Krabes! I need to create a program which allows me to reload. I'll give it to Odd as well."

Aelita threw a few energy fields which got rid of the last few Krabes.

"Nice going Aelita. I think Xana's overheated. Did you get hit?"

"No. I was lucky."

"Some luck. Let's wait for the others. I really want some backup before we go over there."

Kadic

The exterminators gaped as the clouds of hornets came from the trees. Students screamed.

"Get inside," ordered the exterminators as the students ran into the cafeteria.

"Headquarters, we have a problem. We're in the junior high school. Right," said one of the exterminators into a radio as the hornets came up to the windows.

"Oh, and talk about embarrassing situations! I'm sure that Ulrich's not about to forget this for a long time! What genius I am!" said Sissi as she walked down a path.

"Uh, you do know that Ulrich was walking with Yumi?" asked Herb.

"That was just an act."

Herb and Nickolas ran away. Sissi saw the hornets and started to run too, screaming. They quickly opened the door into the cafeteria. The hornets flew in an opened window before freezing.

Lab

"Are you two alright?" asked Jeremy.

"We're fine. But I'm out of ammo and we're being chased!" yelled Harry as a Megatank followed them.

"Ok, I'll reload your shuriken but I have to virtualise the others first," said Jeremy as he started up the procedure.

"HURRY UP!"

"Transfer Ulrich. Transfer Yumi. Transfer Odd. Scanner Ulrich. Scanner Odd. Scanner Yumi. Virtualisation!"

Lyoko

"Look, there's Harry," said Odd as the two ran closer. He saw the Megatank. "Uh oh."

Harry and Aelita stopped close to them.

"Can you get rid of it for me?" asked Harry. "I'm out of ammo."

Odd shot at it as soon as it opened up.

"Ok Harry. I've refilled your ammo."

"Thanks Jeremy," called Harry.

"How did you run out of ammo anyway?" asked Ulrich. "As far as I'm aware, you have two thousands of both laser arrows and shuriken."

"Nearly four thousand Krabes and a few Hornets. There was a bit of a reprieve but then Xana sent the Megatank."

They started to head towards the tower.

"There's several Hornets ahead."

"Oh great," Harry sighed. "Xana's got it out for me. Oh, Jeremy. Can you see what other programs I have for my shuriken?"

"He's always had it out for you Harry," said Ulrich. "He knows you're the best fighter."

"There's one other," said Jeremy. "Your shuriken can explode, sending out more shuriken which also explode. They also only affect what you want them to affect."

"Ammo requirements?"

"The usual."

Harry started to cackle.

"Harry, you're creeping me out," said Yumi.

"Can I test it out?" asked Harry eagerly.

"There are twenty Hornets so go crazy."

The aforementioned Hornets came round the corner. Harry drew a shuriken, focused on the Hornets and threw it. The miniature shuriken tore the Hornets to shreds.

"Well, that was destructive," said Odd. "But awesome!"

They ran up to the tower.

"So, do you want to deactivate the tower Aelita?" asked Harry. She nodded and quickly got to the right place.

Aelita

Lyoko

The files flew down.

Lab

"Return to the past now!"

The events of the day got erased.

Earlier

Sissi knelt down and pushed the letter under the door. Ulrich opened said door.

"Uhh…uh, hi! I-I was just passing by, and I…hehe…" said Sissi, caught in the spotlight.

"What do you know? Let's see now…" said Ulrich as he took the letter from Sissi.

"It's a…"

"Well that's a pretty embarrassing situation, don't you think?" asked Yumi.

"I, er, this wasn't the right door! Heh!" said Sissi

"It sure isn't! Why not give it to Nicolas or to Herb? They'd be delighted!" said Yumi.

Harry's and Jeremy's room

"Oh, by the way Harry," said Ulrich as Harry typed on his laptop. "Why didn't you mention that you'd been to a magical street before?"

"Err, it slipped my mind? I had a lot going on that day! What with the Xana attack and the IQ test…"

"Really?"

"Yep. I only found it a few hours before the rats, just after we found out about the IQ test since we were allowed to take the rest of the class off. Xana didn't use the rats immediately. It's not too far from here. I got into the habit of calling it my energy source as well so I didn't automatically change what I called it as well."

"And why didn't I see it before?" wondered Ulrich.

"Because I didn't have many outbursts as a kid, remember? If I had, you'd have noticed it and made the link earlier. As I would have. All my incidents happened when no one was around."

"How did you pay for the books?" asked Jeremy. "I don't think they take euros. And can I look at the books? Pleeaase."

Harry walked over to his bed and pulled up the mattress to reveal the books. He handed them over to Jeremy who took them and immediately started to read.

"They don't though they can exchange them. I asked for directions to the bank and found out that my parents were fairly rich. I was able to withdraw quite a bit and I also got the story of how my birth parents died."

"Man, you are lucky to be famous," said Odd enviously. "Do you think you can use it to get me with some nice girls?"

"NO ODD! For one thing, I'm not famous in the normal world. Another would be that I don't want my fame and I DEFINITELY wouldn't use it to get you girls. I don't even like my fame. It's a good thing that it's not such a big thing over here than if it would be in England. Anyway, anyone think Dumbledore is a few sandwiches short of a picnic?"

"…"

Harry sighed. "I just wish I knew why I had so many powers. It's driving me nuts. I just want to be normal."

"Don't worry Harry," said Odd. "You wouldn't be you without all your crazy ass powers. That's just normal for you."

"Anyway, I've finished the automatic reload," said Harry. "I've added to both mine and Odd's avatars. Once our ammo has decreased to a certain amount, the supercomputer reloads them."

"Ah, thanks Harry," said Odd. "At least we don't have to wait for Jeremy to manually reload them."

"I also created the tower location program and put it in everyone's avatar," continued Harry. "That way, we won't get lost. We have to be fairly close to the tower though."

"Someone's been busy," said Ulrich.

"The materialisation program has been giving me problems though. Unless…" Harry brought up the devirtualisation procedure and compared them to the materialisation program he was helping Jeremy with. "That's an idea."

He started to type furiously. "Jeremy, can you test this for me? Jeremy? JEREMY!"

Jeremy jumped. "Huh? What?"

"I said, can you test this for me?" asked Harry as he transferred it over to the computer. "You really need to pay more attention Jeremy.

"Sure." He ran the program. It came up with a failure.

"Aw, man. Still not working," Harry groaned.

"That's the most we've ever done," said Jeremy. "You're on the right track."
