That summer, the Dursleys, Bloom, and Harry go to a summer farmhouse of theirs.
There's no animals, but there's a lot of open country.
One afternoon, Harry and Bloom are walking hand in hand to an old playground.
Bloom's thoughts are disturbed, likely because of all the nightmares she keeps getting.
Every night since the final Trial, she's been getting flashbacks of the graveyard and Voldemort.
Harry can tell it's not getting better, she's always got dark circles under her eyes and keeps looking around like something's going to jump out at them.
They've both grown a few inches over the summer, and Harry's finally gotten taller than her.
They sit on an old swing, Harry wrapping his arms around Bloom to keep her sitting there - lately, she's had a habit of pacing restlessly and jumping at every little thing.
"Bloom, they aren't getting better, are they?"
She shakes her head, remembering how she nearly set her sheets on fire again last night.
"Bloom, we'll kill him. I know we will."
"How? Harry, we haven't even heard from Ron and Hermione all summer! How are we supposed to beat the evilest wizard on this planet if we can't even get in touch with our friends?"
Harry's about to say they'll find a way when Dudley and his friends come over.
Bloom sarcastically asks "Beat up another ten-year-old, huh fellas?"
Dudley says "This one deserved it."
His friends nod, and Bloom scoffs "Five against one, how very brave."
Dudley says "Your one to talk! Moaning in your sleep every night? At least I'm not afraid of my pillow!"
Dudley's friends laugh, and Harry tightens his arm around Bloom's waist.
Ignore him Bloom, he's just another annoying prat.
"'Have to stop him, can't let him kill Cedric.' Who's Cedric, Bloom? Your other boyfriend?"
That makes Harry glare at Dudley as well, and he takes his hands down to his sides.
"'The Dark Lord's back! Have to warn them all.' Where's this guy now, hm? Where's he now?"
Dudley and his friends start laughing again, until Bloom suddenly pounces off the seat and grabs Dudley by his shirt.
"Say one more word Dursley, I dare you."
He's staring into fires in her pupils, and calls "Potter, call her off!"
Harry says "If you didn't want her to get mad, you shouldn't have teased her Dudley. You know her temper, you shouldn't have ticked her off."
Dudley's friends laugh at him, as he whimpers and struggles to get Bloom's fist out of his shirt, and then suddenly the sky turns dark and it starts raining - and all of Dudley's so-called friends ditch him.
Dudley asks "What are you doing?"
Bloom looks up at the sky and immediately drops him.
"Nothing. This isn't us."
Harry and Bloom feel a familiar cold, and both say "Run."
The three of them take off, Dudley barely managing to keep up with them - despite the fact that he's lost about a hundred pounds in fat and gained as much in muscle sinc taking up boxing - and they hide in an abandoned subway station.
Dementor's appear out of nowhere and attack Bloom and Harry, and Harry tells Dudley to run again.
He does, but keeps looking back and slips on some water.
He falls to the ground, and a third Dementor attacks him.
He slips into unconsciousness, as the three Dementors start the Dementor's Kiss on all three - until they're obliterated by an explosion of fire from Bloom.
They'd barely got their mouths over their victims when Bloom let almost all her strength out in a massive explosion of fire that incinerated all three.
Dudley is still unconscious, and now Bloom's gasping for breath.
Harry catches her and slides her down the wall so she's sitting.
They hear footsteps, and see Mrs. Figg standing on top of the stairs.
Harry tries to hide his wand, until she says "Don't put your wand away, they might come back."
Harry asks "How'd you know…?"
"Dumbledore asked me to keep an eye on you two. And before you ask, he told me that young Bloom here has a few special gifts - but he didn't tell me what."
Bloom asks "Is he waking up, Harry?"
Harry checks Dudley, and says "No. We'll have to carry him back."
He has no idea how, Bloom's exhausted and Dudley weighs 200 lbs. easily.
Bloom says "Mrs. Figg, this is going to sound insane, but please turn around and keep your eyes closed."
She unsteadily makes her way over to Dudley, and drops to her knees next to him.
Mrs. Figg obliges by facing the opposite way, and Bloom uses the last of her strength to heal Dudley enough for him to open his eyes.
She manages "Eat some chocolate when we get back, it helps with Dementor attacks."
Right after that, she promptly collapses in a dead faint.
Dudley asks "What happened? Where'd the ghost-thing go? And what was that about eating chocolate?"
Harry picks Bloom up as Dudley gets to his feet.
"I'll explain everything on the way, cousin. For now, let's get out of here."
Mrs. Figg nods, and they all leave.
Dudley goes on ahead, after hearing everything about Dementors from Harry, and she says "Dementors in Little Whining? What's next? The world's gone topsy-turvy."
Harry asks "You know Professor Dumbledore?"
"Do you honestly think he'd let you two go wandering around on your own, now that You-Know-Who's back? Good lord, they told me you were intelligent!"
Harry says "Bloom's said she feels like someone's watching her lately."
"Ah, she's perceptive. Yes, it's true. A number of people were keeping an eye on you all the way here. I've seen the house shaking at night, I suppose it's safe to assume that there's no extremely localized earthquakes happening right under only your house?"
Harry looks down at Bloom's unconscious form, and says "He tried to kill her. In the graveyard. Ever since…she hasn't been getting a lot of sleep."
Figg nods in sympathy. "I can only imagine, she went through quite the ordeal according to Cedric. I'm not supposed to tell you this, but I'm going to - because you're the Dark Lord's targets and you should know what's going on. Fudge has been in total denial of the whole mess. Everyone nearly lost everything the first time this evil wizard was on the loose, and now Fudge is doing anything and everything he can to not face the truth. He doesn't want to be afraid again, like everyone was in that war. He's already afraid though, which is why he's smearing the reputation of everyone who says the Dark Lord's back. Fear does odd and scary things to people Harry, some worse things than others. Bloom here, she lashes out with her magic. Fudge, he tries to deny the mess and pretend we're not in over our heads and only getting further under. Personally, I think Bloom's reaction is less dangerous - no matter what the immediate damage is."
Harry nods grimly, and they can see the house from here.
"Go inside, don't come out for anything. Someone'll be along shortly to fetch you."
Harry nods, and Dudley opens the door for him - Harry's clearly got his hands full at the moment, and the last thing he wants is for another Dementor to show up.
Petunia is watching the weather report, which says it's just going to be even more heat, and hears the door open.
"Duddykins? Is that you?"
"Yes mum, you won't believe what just happened!"
Petunia immediately gets worried, and whips her head around.
She relaxes when she sees Dudley on his feet and looking just fine - but she stares when she sees Harry carrying an unconscious Bloom.
Harry says "You heard her Dudley, eat chocolate till you burst."
Dudley can't believe that, but he grins hugely and goes for a few bars.
Petunia asks "What? What happened to my Duddy?"
Dudley yells "Three ghost-things came and attacked us! I don't remember how they went away, but I'm guessing Potter's girlfriend did it - she healed me also."
"So why do you need to eat chocolate?"
Harry says "It helps with Dementor attacks, aunt Petunia. We didn't ask for Dementors to attack us, and trust me on this, they were after Bloom and I. Dudley happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time."
He sets Bloom on the couch as Petunia goes to check to see if Dudley's injured, and he starts complaining that he's fine - with a mouthful of chocolate.
Vernon comes down from his office and asks "What happened?"
He looks like he could throttle Harry, until Dudley comes out with a mouthful of chocolate and two more bars in his hands.
"We got attacked uncle, Bloom saved all our lives. Dudley is fine, Bloom's unconscious from saving all our lives."
Vernon grins smugly, but Bloom moans and turns over - making him drop the smug grin when she might wake up.
"Well she can't sleep there, take her up to your room, boy."
Harry picks Bloom up without another word, and heads to the room they rearranged so the two of them could share it.
In the Dursley's house, Bloom made another bed appear in Dudley's old room - she just did the same thing for this one.
The beds are on either side of the room, and Harry places Bloom on hers.
That night, Harry wakes up to see Bloom stirring.
"Oh, where are we?"
"Bloom! Keep your voice down, what's the last thing you remember?"
"Telling Dudley to do one of his favorite things to do: eat a bunch of chocolate."
"We're back at the house, Mrs. Figg said someone would get us but nobody's come yet."
Bloom tries to get up, but Harry keeps her on the bed and holds a chocolate bar he had Dudley get for her.
Considering she saved his life, he was more than happy to give up a single chocolate bar.
"Here, I know you need something to eat."
Bloom wolfs the chocolate bar, and they hear a sound from the other side of the door.
Harry grabs his glasses and his wand, and Bloom snatches hers up as the key in the door turns - and the door opens to reveal Alastor Moody and another woman.
Harry exclaims "Professor Moody!"
Bloom mumbles "What are you doing here?"
Moody grins and says "Rescuing you, of course. Can you stand, Bloom?"
Harry shakes his head before she can reply, and Moody conjures some food for her.
Fyra rubs against Bloom's head, and Bloom strokes her feathers with one hand while devouring all the food using the other.
The woman, who Moody calls Nymphadora Tonks, says "Well, it seems they weren't exaggerating about her appetite."
They get out the front door with all their stuff and see more people waiting out front.
The Dursleys are under a sleep spell, they won't know what happened until it's far too late to do anything about it.
Moody says "Word isn't that there was a Dementor attack on you two. Did it actually happen?"
Bloom fuzzily asks "Figg tell you that?"
Tonks laughs and says "They also weren't exaggerating her quickness. Yes, Figg told us - the rest of the Wizarding world doesn't know. I'm guessing that is a yes, then?"
Harry nods, and says "It's why Bloom's so tired."
He catches Bloom as she stumbles, and wraps one of her arms around his shoulders.
They get brooms from nowhere, and Bloom's too exhausted to transform and fly.
They fly to a park, and make their way from there to a building - which shifts aside to reveal another one hidden from the human world.
None of the Muggles notice their apartment suddenly moving twenty feet to the side, but that's typical of most people without magic - few of them pay attention enough to notice strange things happening.
AN: Year five is up! I didn't think Harry and Bloom should have to fight to save their lives, only to have to be in a court battle - so I took out the whole part of them being expelled for protecting themselves. Yes, Bloom is completely wiped out even still - Harry had to keep her flying straight the whole way through, it's a miracle she didn't fall asleep flying on the broom!
