Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan. Thank you all for the reviews, it is always nice to have them.
(BSC 5 C27) C155 Gabrielle goes on a trip of her own.
It was eight at night when Harry walked the corridors of Hogwarts making his way to the office of Umbridge. He didn't know what she was planning on doing but he knew that she would do something that would hurt him. According to Bella, he would be tortured and that had been something that stayed with him. Still, it was something that had to be done so he had to bite the Flubberworm so to say. Just before he was about to step into the office he felt a hand on his shoulder and was apparated away. A second later he saw that he was in the founder's chamber. He frowned a little but knew that something was up. Every house elf would listen to him and Zanita, but when one of the founders called to them they would jump even more. When he looked up he saw Rowena and Helga standing in the frame looking at him. Their eyes were drilling their way into his head. "What are you thinking".
Harry frowned when he heard Helga asking him that. "What, why".
"You were not planning to go into that classroom without some help, were you," Rowena told him in a clear voice.
"What else can I do, let Susan take it. Let Bella or Daphne take it. What if she asks Ginny or Astoria in there. Do you think I would let her? I'm used to it and I know how to deal with the pain that comes with it. Susan or the others don't" He almost screamed. "I do not know what she is going to do to me but I can take it" he whispered the last bit.
Rowena looked at Helga as she looked back over her shoulder. Both of them had heard the stories of Harry and his life before Hogwarts. But the see him standing there admitting he can handle it told them he had it way too much. "We know you can handle it, but we all know that it will be happening over and over again. She will get you in that office one way or another. This time it is for Susan. Next, it will be for Daphne or Bella. In your case, it could even be for Neville. You will take every punishment just so they do not get hurt themself. Still, you might take it all but it will hurt them even more because you are sparing them. It will be something they will not like or will not be taken well".
Harry looked down because he knew he would do it. But he could not let anyone take that kind of punishment. He was used to it so he could handle it, and they could not. "But I can".
"Yes, Harry we know you can handle it. But there are other ways to deal with this. You ever heard of a memory charm".
"Yes, but what good, will that do me. I obliviate her, place a memory in her mind and go free. But I can only do that, ones, or twice a month. We all know she will get me every night".
This time Helga and Rowena smiled a little wider. "We ruled this school back in the dark ages. Back then most of the people around were dark by nature. What they did to you was normal back then. So we have been experimenting with a lot of things to help the kids. Back then we found a way to make a memory charm in a potion. The drinker will pass out for two hours. After it, they wake up and just think they have missed something. Now when they are in that state you can tell them something and their mind will think it is the real thing. and because of that, it will create a memory on its own. If you can somehow see a way to make her believe it is real after it, it will only get so much stronger".
Harry gazed up at them both and had to think a little. "That all sounds nice but how will that help me now".
"It will not, sorry about that. But tonight you have to undergo the punishment she had been planning on doing to you. Still, it will give you a memory to use tomorrow night. Every time one of you get a detention, you will have to take the first one. After it, you can use the potion and use the memory from the first time you had been with her".
Harry gave a nod and looked back at them. It was at that moment that one of the paintings in the room swung open. It was only at that moment that Harry realized that he was in a room he had never seen before.
Rowena saw him looking around and had to smile a little. "Harry you are in my privet chamber. My own room in the castle. When everything is done, you all will be staying in these rooms. Every one of the rooms has a room that looked like the founder's chamber. It is connected to it so that is why you thought you were there. Like I said you will be using them but that will be after the war until then We will help you with everything we can. Now, the potion we are talking about is in the book of the mind. It is the second one on the right on the first shelve. You can ask Arabella to make it so you can use it tomorrow. Now take the book and go".
Harry had been surprised from the moment he got into the room. Now he was wondering what else they would do. But before he could do or say something else, he was taken away and back to the hallway, where he ended up right in front of the office of Umbridge. He placed the book in his bag and knocked on the door.
It were almost two hours later that he walked back in the common room of house Hogwarts where he held his hand in a protecting way. All of his friends rushed to him and wanted to know what happened. Slowly he told about the things Rowena and Helga had told him. After it he told them about the blood quill, Umbitch had made him use and in the and he showed the words I shall not tell lies that were graved in his hand. Before he was done Bella had taken the book from his bag and had called for Snot to take the book to her mum.

In Potter castle, it all started to take shape. The houses that were built by the Goblins were fitted for certain people. Other houses that were made for the Werewolves were slowly getting occupied by them. It went so fast that the Goblins had to make twenty other houses in the weeks that followed, just so they could house everyone that came. These were not only made for the werewolves but also for the Veela's. It was on that one day that Fleur and Grandmere came back. They hadn't returned alone but with the whole counsel. They wanted to see for themselves if Gabriele wasn't held against her will.
Appoline had been a little sceptical when she heard her mother telling her that she would be bringing the council with them. But on this day when they arrived, she still brought Gabrielle out to let them see her. The moment she gave Gabrielle to the oldest she was hit with a stunner from another member. Fleur had seen it but before she could do something she was also hit just like her grandmother before her.
The eldest Veela of the council had not taken it well that Gabrielle didn't want to be at the land she owned. It had been her right but most of all her duty to be where the queen was supposed to be. But most of all she was mad at the Veela's that stayed here to be with her and had not done what they had promised the council to do. So this time she did it herself and took Gabrielle in her arms as she made her way to the door. If they did not bring Gabrielle to them she would take her herself. because the queen needed to be home.
Gabrielle was about six years old now and started to remember everything she had learned in her former life. She gazed into the eyes of the old Veela and slowly started to grow feathers all over her little body. Her form was nothing like the other Veela's but of a Penix that had been know from the past. It also didn't go unnoticed that she was already able to change before she was old enough.
The old Veela was walking to the door when she felt feathers starting to grow on the little body of Gabrielle. She stopped and gazed down at the little girl that was in her arms. Two blue eyes were looking at her and started to slowly turn emerald green. Just when the Veela was used to the new eyes it turned into two little black ones. Her little body started to grow and turned into that of a full-blooded phoenix they had only heard about in legends. This was not the Fenix they knew but this was the battle Phoenix that would wipe the floor with all of them. Slowly the feathers of Gabrielle started to burn. The old Veela wasn't afraid and started to walk on. The fire of a Veela didn't hurt other Veela's so she just looked down with a smile.
Suddenly she screamed in pain and dropped Gabrielle to the floor who just landed gracefully. The old Veela looked at her hands and could see that some of her fingers had completely burned from her hands. The other Veela's who had gone with her started to back away when Gabrielle/the Fenix started to step towards them.
One of them dropped to her knees and screamed at Gabrielle in fear. "They made us do it. the council made us do it".
Gabrielle screamed and turned into one big ball of fire. She started to float into the air and suddenly rushed at the heads of all the council members that were there. She flew over her mother sister and Grandmere who were slowly starting to wake up.
Apolline sat up and the first thing she said was that they had to get Harry. FLeur wanted to rush off but Gabrielle disappeared in front of her eyes in a ball of fire, just when she was bout to hit the members head-on. "I think she is already going to get him here," Fleur said with a little smile as she looked at her mother.

Emma was slowly easing her last patient into a resting state by using laughing gas. It was the final one for the day and the final one for her career as a Dentist. When this was done she could go and join the family in everything they were doing and were going to do. Dan was in the other room and by the sound of it, he was done with his last patient and was doing the last bit of cleaning before they could give the key to their replacements. Just as she was bout to start the last root canal of her medical life, her patient started to laugh. She didn't know what he was laughing about but suddenly he started to point over her shoulder.
"Look, beautiful fireball with little blue eyes".
Emma turned around and almost fell from her chair. Right there in the corner of her dentistry was little Gabriell hovering above the cabinet looking at the patient and giggling as only Gabrielle could. For a moment Emma didn't know what to do. She could tell the patient that he was hallucinating but would that work while he was looking at Gabrielle. As she turned back she could see that the patient had passed out and that gave her the all-clear to scream "Dan, get in here now".
It was only a second later that Dan came rushing into the room with a stick in his hand ready to strike. Emma wanted to stop him but the fireball rushed at him while the little blue eyes turned into little beady black ones.
Dan dropped the stick in fright and held his hands in front of his face for protection. After a couple of seconds, he dropped them because he felt nothing and almost pulled them back up as he saw the fireball right in front of his face. What he saw was the most beautiful bird he had ever seen or the most deathliest one. Those little beady black eyes told him death was near if he did something wrong. "Hi Gabrielle, what are you doing here. I thought Emma was getting hurt" he whispered, hoping he had said the right thing.
The head of the bird tilted to the left and one of her eyes gazed deeply into the eyes of Dan. Dan wasn't sure what she was doing, but he was sure he could feel her reading him. The bird flapped its wings and flamed up as she turned back into little Gabrielle as she dropped back into the arms of Dan giggling all the way.
Dan looked down and then up at the patient in the chair. Emma saw him looking en waved him away. "He is out as a light. I will finish this one then we can close for the last time and take this little bundle back to Potter castle" she said as she kissed the cheek of Gabrielle who was still giggling all the way.
It was thirty minutes later that Emma joined Dan and Gabrielle in the other room. She had to smile when she saw Dan reading a story to Gabrielle while she was sitting on his lap. "You know you have to do that to your own grandkids one day".
Dan turned white as he heard his wife saying that. Emma laughed a little. "Don't worry own your little princes is fine and it will be a long way away?" she said. "I hope" she whispered even softer so Dan didn't hear that last bit. Now she turned to Gabrielle who had been looking up ad dan with big eyes as she was listening to the story. "Come, sweety, we have to bring you home and get Harry to turn up the wards again just to keep you from running or fireballing away".
The moment Gabrielle heard the name of Harry she changed back into the fireball and disappeared in a flash. "I think we have to get home," Dan told Emma making her smile.
"I like the sound of that, "Home".
#*
Fleur had looked on as Gabrielle disappeared and was just in time to dodge the fireball that flew right passed her. She took her wand from her pocket and was just in time to step away from another fireball that came at her and went passed her again. When she pulled up a shield she could see that her mum was in the middle of a fight with the head of the Veela council. It immediately told her that they would be in for a fight. The council had always been made up out of the strongest Veela's of the community and it would take a lot for them to beat all of them if they could. FLeur saw a spell coming from the side end stepped away while she threw a curse back. She did not know who she was fighting but she knew she could not win because she just wasn't strong enough. Harry had taught her to flee and fight another day but this time it was at his grounds so how could they flee.
Grandmere was fighting on the other side of the lawn that was in front of the castle. Fleur didn't know how her Grandmere got out of the castle but she was glad she did. Suddenly she heard a scream from her side. She looked left and saw her mother driving one of the Veelas to the door. She knew what her mother was doing and had to agree. If they would all get them outside they could fight in their avian form and do much better. It would also mean they would get bloodier but that was worth it to survive this battle. So Fleur did what she had to do and started to throw every spell she knew at the Veela's, attacking them and driving them outside. With everything, she could think off".

Gabrielle appeared in the middle of the great hall of the Gringgotsbank. The ball of fire settled down in the middle of the floor where she slowly showed herself.
Bogrod was sitting behind his desk grumbling about little wizards that hated him. Hated him, after all, he had done for them.
Harriet who was sitting on a chair in the corner was laughing silently. She knew that he was still frustrated that he didn't get the desk he had seen at Hogwarts. She knew that the desk was at one of their own workshops to be restored back to its full glory. The friends didn't think twice about it when she asked them if she could get it for him. They were already planning on it so it would be a present from the whole family at Christmas. Just as Bogrod wanted to grumble about the kids again the intruder alarm of the bank went off. It told every Goblin that there was an illegal apparition into the bank. Bogrod and Harriet rushed to the special wall to see who it was that would be losing their head.
At first, they didn't see it but then there was that ball of fire. Harriet turned with big eyes to Bogrod and literally screamed at him to get down there and to get there now. "It is Gabrielle and she can't protect herself not yet".
The guards that were standing all around the bank heard the Alarm go off and immediately pulled their axes from their holders on their sides. They were paid to protect the bank and when this alarm went off they had the right to kill and ask questions later. If they could answer anything that is. The moment they saw the ball of fire come down they lifted their axes. The ball came down to the floor and started to die out.
As Gabrielle looked up she saw one thing and that was shining grey that headed to her head. From the side, she heard a scream of No, but that did nothing to stop that shining grey thing coming at her. Suddenly she got this feeling that it wasn't a good thing and her magic reacted. Her little arms covered itself in feathers that took the blades and made them slit right off her little wings. Her feathers turned black and the magical flames started to swirl around her.
Bogrod who was only able to scream "no," looked on in fear as the axes made their way towards her little head. For him, the time stood still and every thought he had turned to one thing. Harry Potter coming at him with all his power as he made his way through the Goblin army. When the axes slid off her he stood there like a tree, still and unmoving. What followed next was the reason for him to hit the nearest panic button in the bank. As the Alarm rang throughout the bank the guards knew they had to back off. Two of them didn't listen and took charge at the blackbird that was growing to twice its size. One of them swung his axe at the head of Gabriell who just flung it away with one swipe of her outstretched wing. The other wing followed and the Goblin lost its head in only a mear second. The other guard looked at it and lifted his own axe. Gabrielle opened her wings and opened her beak at the same time. The spray of fire that came out of it turned the Goblin into a burned chip within the second.
every Gobline had rushed the customers out of the bank and were now looking at the bird that sat in the middle breathing small bursts of fire. Bogrod had to go to the bird but he was for the first time afraid. The power it radiated was a power he knew too well. That power was the magic of Harry and that was just too much for almost everyone he ever knew.
"My Lord" A Goblin guard called from his left. Bogrod looked up and the guard went on. Why can't our blads kill it they are all Goblin made.
Bogrod gave a weak smile. Do you know who this is" The guard shook its head? Do you know whos Magic and only who's Magic is running through this Battle Fenix?" Again the guard had to shake its head. "This my friend is Gabrielle, the daughter of Jean and Apolline Delacour's. The magical daughter of them and of Harry and Fawkes, the Finix of Hogwarts. She is the Queen of the Veela nation that is living in France".
"Wait that is little Gabrielle," the guard said as he remembered that little bundle he held in his hands only a couple of weeks ago.
"Yes and now we have to calm it down or we will have a mad king Hogwarts at our doorstep within the hour".
It was at the last word that all the guards stepped a step back letting Bogrod standing alone. Bogrod looked at them and swallowed when he looked at Gabrielle. He took one step and was passed by his wife. Bogrod wanted to scream but Harriet just went on. She knew that Gabrielle had the magic of Felix and Harry running through her so that was what she was counting on. "Gabrielle please calm down it's me aunty Harriet".
Just like with Dan Granger she tilted her head and gazed down at Harriet with one of her black eyes. Slowly she calmed down and turned back to her little self whare she started to giggle in the arms of Harriet. Harriet turned her around so she did not see the things she had done and gestured for Bogrod to clean it up.
Bogrod nodded and started to get Goblins to clean everything up. The Goblin guard went to Gabrielle and looked down. Gabrielle stopped giggling and turned her head in an angry way. "Say sorry" Harriet snapped at him. The guard first looked up but then started to say it. He did not do it out of pleasure because Goblins never said sorry, but he did. Gabrielle turned her little head to him and gazed at him for a moment. She den started to giggle again as she held out her little arms to be held by him. It was something the guard did with pleasure.
It was now that Harriet turned to Bogrod and told him they had to get to Potter castle. She had bearly finished her words or Gabrielle turned back into the ball of fire and disappeared to somewhere else.

Grandmere ducked left from a curse but was struck by another that came from the right. Apolline saw her mother go down and was almost hit herself. Just when fatigue started to become an issue. There was that little bit of hope you were looking for. Emma had rushed from the side and literally tackled one of the Veela's that tried to attack the fallen Grandmere to the ground. Apolline didn't know how she got here but then she saw Dan appear at the hand of Snot the house elf. He took out a gun and started to point it at the Veela's.
When Apolline screamed that Dan could not kill them, he just laughed at her and fired off another couple of rounds. After he got five of them he fell down by a curse in the back that was thrown at him from one of the Veela's. He did know it was one from their side because it came from behind him. But even with Dan up, they could not get it done. Slowly they were all starting to get to them. The sheer numbers of the Veela's were just too big. Emma was fighting muggle style and she was really beating every one of them but the numbers were getting to her because others were hitting her with spellfire or fireballs.
#*
The fireball appeared between the roof of the greenhouse and some plants under it. Two little blue eyes were looking at all the people who were working under her. She was looking for Harry but she did not know where he was. Her mum and sister needed him but she could not find him. She did feel his magic on the Grangers but he was not there. then she felt his magic on the Goblins but still, he wasn't there either. Now she felt his magic here. She saw a lot of Veel'as and also some kind of Dog people but she did not know what they were. They all did look human that was sure.
As she kept on looking around she could not find him as fast as she wanted but she did feel his magic. So she had to show herself again but she was afraid that she would be attacked like she was the last time. There was a little woman there who had his magic on her but she did not see her clearly from behind these plants. So with a little bit of fire, she burned it away and started to get a little bit closer. Next to the woman was another woman she knew, she knew her better than anyone of them. She vanished on the spot and reappeared in her arms.

Nolwenn was working together with Narcissa to get everything ready for the coming year. Werewolves were harvesting herbs, vegetables and other ingredients for potions. While mostly the female Werewolves were preparing them. The Veela's who had remained at Potter castle were mostly making clothes for everyone. Sure some were working with the Werewolves just like some werewolves were working with the Veela's.
While Gabrielle was floating above all of them. Nolwenn was looking at the papers she was holding. "Everything is going to plan. according to these papers, we can feed over a hundred thousand Witches and Wizards for almost six months. At the end of the year, we will have enough for another six and then we will have to start over".
Narcissa looked at her own papers and knew what Nolwen was looking at. Sadly she shook her head. "No, that is only if we are lucky. What you are looking at are the numbers for if all goes to plan. If not we will be needing this food for every magical being that there is. Meaning all the house elves, Goblins en everyone like that" Narcissa told her.
"Are you saying they want to help everybody"?
"Yes, Everybody that is in some kind of need from the war will be able to get help at Hogwarts or at Potter castle".
Nolwenn looked at her and back at the papers she was still holding. "If he does that then we will only have enough for a couple of months four at the most if we do it carefully," Nolwenn said as she looked at the numbers.
"That is why Harry wants to send everybody that is not able to help on to Europe and America. Even Australia if he has to. He will fight this war but it will be more than only Voldemort he will be up against".
"I know the ministry will be making it hard for them but who else. Who would be willing to side with Voldemort and the ministry".
Narcissa shook her head again. "What do you think of Vampires, Giants, Werewolves because not all of them will side with Harry. Not to think about all the other Wizards and Witches from the other countries that will be joining Voldemort".
This time Nolwenn got a sad look in her eyes as she looked down at the papers. "This will become a big war, won't it".
Narcissa got the same look as Nolwenn and took her hand in hers. "It will all depend on what Harry does. If it is up to them it will be quick and fast. But the other side has to play along and surrender quickly. If they fight back it might take a long time".
"Well we are almost done here for now, what will you be doing tomorrow," Nolwenn asked her.
Narcissa looked at the roof but did not see Gabrielle because she was behind her. "Tomorrow, Emma and I will get the book of Hogwarts. In that book will be every magical muggle that has been born. It will update the moment the child is born. Now the ministry has the same kind of book but that will only register the first time the child uses accidental magic. So Emma and I will be visiting all of them providing them with a way to get out when the war is starting. We will also be telling them about magic. I can show them and Emma can tell them the Muggle way".
"Don't you think the ministry will see yu doing magic, you know by port key".
Narcissa smiled, "No Emma will be driving us in that horse or something like that".
"You mean the Ferrari" of Harry".
"Yes, that thing. According to Emma, it is something she could not get on her own and it had been a dream of her to drive it. It will be fast and if we can't get back we will be spending a night at a hotel or Bed and breakfast, whatever that is".
Nolwenn had to frown a little when she heard Narcissa telling her she would be spending the night to gather with Emma. Just when she wanted to react to it she dropped the paper she was holding when Gabrielle dropped in her arms. Her gaze went over to Narcissa who was just as surprised as herself. "What the hell is Gabrielle doing here away from Apolline," Narcissa asked her.
"I do not know," Nolwenn told her honestly. "Something must have happened or Gabrielle would never wander off alone. If she did she would take Apolline with her she had done it before".
Narcissa nodded but still had a little frown on her face. She knew Gabrielle would do something like that but still for her to come to this place was something weird. "maybe we should go to the castle and bring her back.
It was right at that moment they heard a big bank and something collapsing. "Arabella you take Gabrielle while we go to the castle and see what is happening. You might want to give Harry a Floo call". Nolwenn said while she handed Gabrielle to her.
Arabella who had been looking over the potions they were all making nodded as she took Gabrielle into her arms. She looked down at the little bundle and had to smile. "You were looking for Harry weren't you," Arabella asked as she gazed at the little blue eyes that were looking back at her. Slowly she shifted Gabrielle into one arm as she placed her other hand on the chest of Gabrielle. "If you want to find Harry you have to look inside. Feel his magic in yourself. His magic and that of Fakews is running through you. Find that and you will find him". The one thing Arabella knew was that everything was connected to the friends. So when she heard the commotion coming from the castle she knew that there was more to it. It clearly sounded like a fight and for Gabrielle to come here meant it was something bad.
Now go find him en bring him here Gabrielle disappeared in a ball of flames as Arabella turned around again. She could see all the others looking into the direction of the castle. Some of them were making their way to the doors of the greenhouses but hesitated to go. "Just go," Arabella screamed at the ones who were hesitating to go. As Arabella watched them go she started to make her way to the door. The ones that stayed behind were just like her wondering what was happening.
#*
Nolwenn and Narcissa were in the front of the many that were making their way to the sound of fighting that was slowly increasing with every step they were taking. It was then that they heard three gunshots and increased their pace. "That must have been Dan. He is the only one who would use a gun I only hope he hasn't killed anybody" Narcissa screamed as she quickened her steps.
Nolwenn could only nod as she rushed behind her not knowing what they would find when they get there. The place where Harry had made the greenhouses was in the middle of the forest. There was a road but that was a long way around so they had to get through the woods to be quicker. Some of the Veela's and the werewolves did take cars and bikes to go along the road but they would still arrive later than them.
So while Narcissa was punching branches out of the way, Nolwenn was just following her. Slowly the sound became stronger and louder as they got closer and closer. Then they rounded the corner and Narcissa stopped in her tracks. She did not know what she saw but there ware about thirty Bird-like creatures attacking two similar creatures. "What is that".
"Those are Fluer and Apolline in their Evian form. The one on the ground against the tree is Grandmere. I don't know the others but I think Fleur and Grandmere are betrayed by the Veela council". It was then that Nowlenn saw Narcissa pulling out her wand. She grabbed her hand and stopped her. "Don't, They are magically protected if they are like this. The best thing we can do is taking them down the Emma way".
Narcissa dropped her wand and gazed at the creatures and that is when they saw Emma jumping one of them and bringing it down. She followed it up with a right hook and a knee in the stomach but it doesn't seem to work. But it did not stop Narcissa and Nolwenn to take one of them for themself.

In the middle of the great hall, there was a lot of laughter. The house of Hogwarts were eating together and were joined by a lot of the students from the other houses. Slowly the house of Hogwarts were expending on the students that were openly against Umbridge and the ministry.
Umbridge got to her feet and made her way to the middle of the podium. Harry saw her going and knew that there was another decree coming their way. The last couple of weeks other students were starting to get annoyed at the way she was teaching nothing and only seemed to disrupt their way of learning. Some were complaining while some of the friends were planning to start their own way of teaching the other students.
"Hem, hem" Umbridge called for attention. Everyone stopped except the house of Hogwarts. they kept on laughing and talking to each other like there was nothing happening around them.
"Hem, hem".
Sounded again from the podium that was in the front of the great hall. It was now that Harry stopped and gazed into the eyes of Umbridge. He didn't say a thing and was only looking. This was it, this was the moment for another decree. "Hem, hem" sounded the voice again. "It is clear to me that none of you are willing to learn. You are all here just to have fun and that is clear in the way you are going from house table to house table" Umbridge said.
Harry was looking at his friends and his peers while his mind was going everywhere. He did not know what Umbridge was doing but it was clear that it wouldn't be anything good. "Be ready for anything, and do not react if it is wrong?" He said to his house as he looked back at Umbridge.
Umbridge had seen Harry whispering to his table. It was clear to her that he knew that something was up. Only this time she would have the upper hand because she had just made this decree. One he could do nothing about. With a little smile, she took out the parchment and held it up for everyone to see. "I have here a new Decree. This one will make all of you ready to learn. It says everyone has to be at their own table at all time. No one is allowed to be with the other houses". With a smile, she rolled it up and made it ready to be put on the wall. Slowly she turned around and looked one last time at the way Harry was looking at her.
The friends all looked at Harry but none of them knew what to do about this one. Luna took a bowl of pudding and only said: "We have to get the grownups in the same way as they pick on us. The teachers do nothing because they are afraid of their jobs".
"That's it," Ginny said. "Get them back where it will hurt. What do they all like to do"?
"They almost always get a drink at the three broomsticks," Astoria told them all while she had her thoughtful look.
Harry just gave her his lopsided smile as he turned around and called to attention.
Umbridge had almost sat down when Harry called them all to attention. She did not know what he was planning but she knew she would get him back. "What do you want Potter" she snapped.
Harry gave a deep sigh and knew he could not react to her snapping or he would lose it completely. "I do not know if this will help the students learn more or better when you keep them from their friends. But who am I to disagree with the way the ministry is running the lessons? Still, if you do this decree I will have to place another rule on the castle. Starting tonight the Castle grounds will be closed at nine o clock. The gate will be opened at eight in the morning. If a teacher is not in before nine they will not be allowed back until morning".
"You can't do that," Snape called out from his chair.
"Yes, I can, and if the ministry doesn't want the students to get distracted I will gladly help. So if you want to step out you can but be back before nine or you be locked out".
Harry sat down and immediately felt Tracy looking at him. She as the other members of house Hogwarts knew why Snape reacted the way he did. Just when he was about to answer her a ball of fire appeared in front of him with Fawkes next to it. Harry didn't need much to know something was wrong. He pointed his finger at Astoria, Luna and Ginny. "You take care of Gabrielle while I go home".
The three girls did not have enough time to react because Harry grabbed the tail of Fawkes and disappeared. Bella and the others just looked at it and almost jumped a foot in the air when Fawkes appeared next to them to take all of them along.

Fleur and Apolline welcomed the help they got from all the others, there was, however, one problem. Veela's from the same community could not use legal force to bring a member down. The only thing they could do was to bring them down and stun them, but because they were in their Evian form the were very resistant for magic. Narcissa, Emma and Nolwenn did a lot but it was not enough. The Veela's that had stayed the first time were mostly young and did not have the power or knowledge to fight back in the right way. So they did something they thought was what was needed but were loosing slowly from the elders they were fighting against.
Narcissa took one down and looked to the side. It was then she saw Nolwenn being struck by a clawed wing and four scratches appeared on her face. Narcissa screamed NO and rushed to her side. All the lessons she had received from Emma were kicking in. She jumped up and brought the bird down. She punched with her right and kept on turning as she slammed her left elbow to the beak knocking the Veela out. "Are you okay?" Narcissa asked as she looked worryingly at Nolwenn forgetting she was in a fight. A claw appeared from behind the head of Narcissa. Nolwenn wanted to scream to duck when something blasted the Veela from behind Narcissa slamming it against the castle wall that was a hundred feet away. Nolwenn looked to the left and grabbed Narcissa away from a spell that rushed past her against another Veela. When Narcissa looked she ducked next to Nolwenn and whispered that this was his real power".
Harry appeared on the outside of his little forest and looked at the fight that was in front of them. The moment he touched the ground he thought about one thing. This is my house, the house of my family and all I welcome. Slowly his magic took over as he started to walk down the path towards his castle. His wand dropped in his hand and started to throw stunners left and right. He did not care who he hid. The only thing he wanted was the fighting to stop. The moment he saw a creature bring her claw towards Narcissa he had to stop it. "Bombarda" he screamed and blasted the Veela against the wall of the castle. His stunners did work but some were revived as he walked past them. Just when he started to wonder if he should get help His friends appeared on the edge of the little forest. They didn't need any direction to know what they had to do. They all saw that the stunners from Harry only worked so much so they did their own thing. While Harry and Bella were stunning them all. The others were binding them with ropes and placing them behind them making sure no one could revive them again.
When the others of the family arrived they saw that they had come too late. They weren't too late for the fight but the friends had it all in hand and they just had to stand by. They were in awe at the way the friends were handling it but were in fear as they saw Harry walking to the body of Dan. They were too far away to see what was happening but him lying there as still as he was, was worrisome for them all. Harry slumped down and was joined by his friends. Emma had slowly made her way to them and looked at her husband. At the sight of him, she wanted to scream but when he saw Harry smiling she stopped.
Harry placed his hand on the chest of Dan en said "Enervate". The eyes of Dan shot open and looked at all the friends. "You have to watch your back Dan," Harry told him.
Dan laughed and nodded but then saw his gun in the hand of Daphne. He Immediately held up his hands in surrender as he quickly said it was a dart gun. Daphne didn't know what it was, so Hermione took it from her and opened it. When she saw needles with feathers falling out of it Daphne frowned again. "Daphne, these are muggle stunners, When one of these hit an animal it will sedate them, Or put them to sleep so to say," Hermione told her.
"So they are not dead" sounded the voice of Apolline when she stepped beside them.
Every one of them looked up and Harry started to laugh when she looked down in shame. "You stunned him, didn't you".
Apolline nodded and smiled a little bit. "I really thought he was killing them".
This was it again for this time. See you all the next time.
Gr Winmau.
