Harry Potter and the….(Not Sure Yet)

On a chilly summers evening a boy laid on his bed tired and bored. His name was Harry Potter and he was 16 years old and awaiting for his birthday to come, but his birthday wasn’t for about two weeks. He was also waiting for a something that his owl, Hedwig, would bring him. Then all of a sudden his there was a snowy white owl tapping on the window to get into the room. His owl Hedwig was also carrying three letters.

“About time they sent me something.” Harry said giving Hedwig an owl treat and rubbing her soft head. Harry then looked at the letters and noticed that one was from Ron, the other most likely from Hermione, and the last one from Ginny. He opened Ron’s letter first.

Dear Harry,
We will be picking you up tomorrow at 8:00. Don’t bother sending Hedwig back with your answer we already know what it is. So get ready and see you soon.

Sincerely,
Ron and Hermione

Harry thought if this is from Ron and Hermione who is this letter from, but he decided he would open Ginny’s first. Even though he really didn’t want to read it, but he had to because he was very curios to what it said.

Dear Harry,
I know that we are not together anymore and I know why, but I still have to tell you something before you come tomorrow. I love you. I always will and I will never stop. I know you may not feel the same, but like I said before I needed to tell you this. I also wanted to know if we could be friends seeing as we will be around each other for the rest of the summer.

Love,
Ginny

Harry knew while writing this letter she began to cry because it had tears over it. He still loved her a lot, but if they were together Voldmort could use her to get to him and he could not bear that kind of pain. So Harry went to write back to Ginny when someone barged into his room.

“Harry you have to go now!” Aunt Petunia said as someone downstairs was yelling.

“Why? What is going on downstairs!” Harry said as he heard footsteps coming up the stairs. He knew those were not his Uncle Vernon’s. He knew that people were after him and he had to leave. “Aunt Petunia what about my stuff!” As someone began to pound really hard on the door.

“They won’t hurt us. I’ll bring your stuff to the place your staying when you get there send us your owl in the morning now go or they will get you for sure!!” She said while Harry got his broom and invisibility cloak.

“Thanks,” he said and both Hedwig the three letters and him were off to the Burrow.

When he got there everyone was surprised he was there including Ginny.

“Why are you here?” Mr. Weasley asked, “We were going to pick you up tomorrow.” he said beginning to think that there was something wrong.

“Death Eaters were at the house. My aunt quickly snuck upstairs to worn me and get go as quickly as possible.” He said sort of tired by the journey he took.

“How do you know there were death eaters at the house?” Ron asked before his dad could.

“Screaming, only going after me, ummm….. Voldmort was outside the house. Does that tell you I know who it was!” Harry said beginning to get very frustrated.

“Oh, well that explains things.” Mr. Weasley said. “You don’t look well.”

“I haven’t gotten much sleep lately.” He said beginning to fall asleep on the couch he just sat on.

“Well, off to bed then.” Mrs. Weasley said, but he was already to sleep so Mr. Weasley took him upstairs and put him in the extra bed put into Ron’s room.

While sleeping Harry began to have a very bad dream.
“Harry help. Harry help us please.”
“Ginny, Ron, Hermione what are you doing here. What is wrong with…”
“Harry, Voldmort is right behind you. Look out” Hermione yelled. Voldmort tried to reach for Harry, but he moved before he could.
“Well well well, I knew you would come. Though I thought you knew that my death eaters kidnapped your precious friends.” Voldmort said laughing.
“Let them go it is me you want!!”
“Why should I let them go torturing is so much better. Who should I start with. I know how about Ginny.”
Ginny started to yell in the pain as she fell to the ground.
“Ginny, let her alone.” Harry started yelling.
Then all of a sudden he awoke not really knowing what he was dreaming about, but he knew it was something bad for him not to remember what it was about. Harry couldn’t sleep for the rest of the night so instead he went downstairs.

To his surprise when he got there the sun was coming up and he heard someone walking down the stairs as he started walking into the kitchen to get something to drink. The footsteps followed him in there. When he turned around he saw a girl with beautiful long red hair and freckles on her face.

“Ginny! What are you doing up so early in the morning?” He asked.

“I could ask you the same thing, but I’m up because I was wondering if you got the letter I sent you?” When she said that he pulled out the three letters he got and put the one he got from Ginny on the table.

“I did and I was going to right back before someone barged into my room and said I have to leave.”

“Then right back unless you want to tell me to my face.” She said with a smile on her face. Harry hesitated. He couldn’t tell her how he felt without wanting to kiss her which he has been wanting to do since he broke up with her.

“I’ll send a letter to you. It is much easier and I can do it now.” So Harry went upstairs to Ron’s room. He pulled out a piece of parchment, quill, and his ink and sat at the desk.

He wrote and wrote and wrote. It took him almost an hour to write what he had to write to her. By the time he was done the whole piece of parchment was full of his writing. He then gave it to Hedwig to give to Ginny so he didn’t have to face her when she read it.

*******

Meanwhile Ginny was downstairs eating breakfast when Hermione came down. She got a bowl and a spoon and ate what Ginny was eating.

“Hey, whats up?” Hermione said.

“Nothin much, so how was your night? Good? Great? Upsetting?” Ginny said with a smile on her face. Something no one has really seen in awhile.

“I guess it was good.” Hermione said as Hedwig came in the window with a letter for Ginny. “Gin, why is Harry sending you an owl if he is upstairs?”

“I don’t know. I thought he hand me the letter himself, but I guess he gave it to Hedwig to give to me.” Ginny said as she left to go into the garden to read. The letter read:

Dear Ginny,
I know how you feel and I feel the same way about you everyday, but I am scared for you and everyone else who is always there for me and who I love.

There is something I should have told you when I told Ron and Hermione something. It has something to do with Voldmort. The only reason I am telling you this is because I want to be honest with you. So I am going to tell you like this.

Voldmort has these things that help him come back to life when he dies. For example when I was a baby his spelled backfired and hit him instead. He killed himself, but his sole was still left and he survived. That is how he came back in my forth year. He split his sole into pieces. I know your now wondering how many pieces and the answer is seven.

Though we already got rid of three he still has for out there unless this guy destroyed the forth one. The n we would have three to deal with, but I highly doubt it. These things that I have been talking about are called horucruxes. This is a type if dark magic. It works by killing people and Voldmort killed seven before he was believed to be killed.

The believed items that are his horucruxes are:
1. Nagini
2. Slytherin’s Locket
3. Hufflepuff’s Goblet
5. Something from Gryfindor or Ravenclaw
6. Slytherin’s Ring

The seventh is already inside of him. Before I do anything I have to destroy all of his horucruxes.

I know you want to come, but I don’t think you should. I am already trying to get Hermione and Ron not to come. Though they are to stubborn and they keep saying we are going. Even though I am asking them not to.

I Love you Ginerva Molly Weasley and I will never stop loving you.

Love,
Harry

When she finished the letter Harry was coming downstairs. He thought she would be in her room reading, but he was wrong. He didn’t know what to say and Hermione was wondering what he put in that letter when she came in. Then Harry remembered he had another letter he had to read. So he read it now:

Dear Harry,
I need to speak to you about something that might be of help on your quest to find all of the horucruxes. You have to trust me I am not a death eater. I know you may think I am, but I am not. I will meet you on your birthday and you won’t know when.

Sincerely a friend,
B.A.M

“Great another person who puts there initials.” Harry said, “I wonder who it is this time.”

“I’ve heard those initials before, but where did I here them.” Hermione was thinking and thinking and thinking, “I’ve got it! Dumbledore told me her name. He said it was his granddaughter. Her name is Brittany Ann Marshall.” As she wrote it down on a piece of paper and it made sense.

“What are you talking about Brittany for?” Mr. Weasley asked coming into the kitchen.

“She sent Harry a letter, Dad, do you know who she is?” Ginny asked.

“You can not talk about her or they will find her. She put her initials in that letter right.” They all nodded as Mr. Weasley went on, “Your probably wondering how I know about her aren’t you?” They all nodded again, “Well, Albus asked who would be willing to look after her if he ever died and I had to say no because of you guys and Lupin agreed he would watch her. I met her as well the other day. Very fine person.”

“Who is after her and why?” Harry asked.

“You know who is after her and he has been after her since she was a baby. He wants her fir the power she has. Though she said on countless occasions ’no’ he just keeps coming back and finding her. She is actually coming over today and in a couple of minutes she should be here.” Just as Mr. Weasley said that there was a knock on the door. So, Mr. Weasley went to open the door and there in the doorway stood a girl, Lupin, and Tonks.

“You know who is after her and he has been after her since she was a baby. He wants her fir the power she has. Though she said on countless occasions ’no’ he just keeps coming back and finding her. She is actually coming over today and in a couple of minutes she should be here.” Just as Mr. Weasley said that there was a knock on the door. So, Mr. Weasley went to open the door and there in the doorway stood a girl, Lupin, and Tonks.

“Come in, come in and welcome to my home Brittany.” Mr. and Mrs. Weasley said as Mrs. Weasley was coming in the room followed by Ron.

“Hi,” Brittany said and asked, “Umm…. I’ve been wondering why is your house called the Burrow? Do people around here call there houses different names instead of calling them houses.” Everyone started laughing and Brittany was wondering what was so funny.

“I’m serious you know!” Brittany said and everyone stopped laughing.

“Oh, umm… well… it is because we wanted to call this place the Burrow.” Mrs. Weasley said, “Are you hungry dear you look like you haven’t eaten in awhile. Do you want something.”

“No thanks, I’m not hungry.” Brittany said looking out the window.

“But your so thin. How can you not be hungry?” Mr. Weasley asked this time concerned for her well being.

“She doesn’t eat much. We have tried to get her to eat more, but she won’t. Also, when she is hungry which is around dinner time she will eat. ” Tonks said as Brittany was walking outside into the garden because she thought she saw her bird.

“Oh, is anyone else hungry?” Mrs. Wasley asked, but only Ron said he was. “Did you guys eat already?” And everyone but Ron nodded.

“Harry.. Umm.. Can I talk to you a moment?” Ginny asked indicating that they should talk outside so no one heard.

“Yea.. Sure.” Harry said wondering if they were going to talk about the letter he wrote.

“Oh, Harry and Ginny can you tell Brittany to go get them. If she ask who tell her ’S’ and ‘D’.” Lupin said not sure if they new about it. Just then Brittany barged into the door with a type of bird on her shoulder. As Harry looked at the bird he noticed it was a phoenix.

“Brit…. Brit.. are you going to get them?” Lupin asked.

“Who?”

“S and D.” Lupin said hoping the kids that were around him wouldn’t find out.

“Oh, yea I guess. I came in so quickly because of this.” She handed him the letter and it read

Dear Brittany,
If you join me I won’t have to kill anyone and your loved ones will be safe. Lets just put it this way I think his name is John. If you don’t want him hurt to badly meet me in ten minutes at Hethro Hellow I will kill him. Don’t tell anyone the name of the in which you only understand unless Potter is there to help.

Voldmort

“Brittany, what does that say? Brit you have to tell us or we can’t help.” Mr. Weasley said as everyone was looking at Brittany wondering what is going on. “Also, how did he intercept Fox. That is what I don’t understand.”

“I have to go alone.” Brittany said scared for her used to be brother. “I will get them while I’m getting John.” and she was off in a swarm of white and blue lights like she was an angel going to heaven.

When she got there she saw John literally in the air. Someone was holding him there by a spell she thought. So, she took hold of him with her own type of magic. She lifted up her hand and could feel the weight she was holding. The someone grabbed her from behind. She knew who it was and that he would pretend to try and capture her.

“Master, I have her.”

“Bring Brittany to me. I want to see if it is really her or some decoy.” Voldmort said. So, the guy trudged her over there. “This is not her. Find her. Now!” Now everyone was on the lookout. The they saw her. She had the prisoner and the guy that was holding him was in the ground.

“John stay here.” Brittany just said and he nodded. At that exact moment she had spells flying at her left and right. “You can’t catch me.”

“Get her before she gets us.”

“Oh, come on Tom. Why can’t you get me yourself if you are such a big shot.” Brittany said as she laughed. So he tried he missed every time. “You suck and I thought you were all powerful. Right now I bet all your death eaters were judging your power. Am I right?” She didn’t get anything. “Scared he might hurt you if you answer that.”

Just then someone came up behind her a grabbed her. “Scared now aren’t you?” A woman said. “By the way if you want to know my name it is Belatrix Lestrange, but I bet you already knew that.” She said with so much anger that it hurt Brittany.

“OOO, I’m so scared. Should I get down on my knees and beg that you don’t kill me.” Brittany said so sarcastically that Belatrix pused on the ground and said ‘Crucio’, but nothing happened. Everyone was shocked because instead of Brittany writhing on pain and crying on the floor she was. Brittany couldn’t stand it so she let Belatrix go from the agony she was in. “Well, I am leaving now unless you want to try another spell. How about you? Try to kill me with the killing curse.” So the guy she pointed at did and it once again it didn’t work, but this time no one died. When it bounced off of her she made it go towards the trees. “Well, I must be going. Don’t ever hurt anyone I care about again or when you trying to use that spell on me I will let it go right back to the sender.” and with that she grabbed John and left.

******
Meanwhile back at the Weasley house everyone was panicking and it took them a few minutes to get Harry to read what it said.

“Harry, what does this say?” Harry read the letter and had no clue what language it was until he read it out loud. “It is parsaltongue. It says Godrics Hollow. She is going to Godrics Hollow. She can speak parsaltongue?” Harry asked wondering how she can speak it.

“I don’t know I guess.” Just as Lupin said that again a swarm of blue and white lights fill the room. “Hey, Brittany are you ok?”

“Yea, didn’t I say I would?” Brittany said with a smile.

“No and where is John?” Tonks asked looking for him.

“Right here .” She said, very worried whether he is alright or not. “Hey, come with me I need to explain something to you.” Brittany said to John and walked out of the room. “Oh, and I have to go and get them then. They were there and they sort of told me they be here and I don’t have to go and get them.

The rest of the night was pretty quiet and Harry just remembered that Ginny wanted to talk to him about something so he went to find her. When he found her he was talking to the guy Brittany saved from death. I wonder what relationship Brittany has with him, Harry thought. Harry walked over to them. They were talking about Brittany.

“So, she really did all that to help you?

“Yea, she was a great big sister until my mom told us what happened when she was a baby and my biological sister died of a kidney problem. Which runs in the family.”

“Ohh, that really sounds bad. So you are not a wizard then?

“No, I’m not.” John said with a laugh and noticed someone listening on there conversation and told Ginny to look behind her. “So, your Harry. Well, nice to meet you and I should be going. My plane leaves in an hour or so and I have to pack. Bye and nice to meet you again.” John said giving Ginny a kiss on the cheek and left to the kitchen to find a meeting going on. “Brit can you get me to the hotel?”


“Yea, umm.. sure. Can someone go with us? I don‘t want to use magic again” Brittany said.

“I will!” Ginny said with a smile on her face.

“You can’t use magic out of school yet and I don’t think you can transport us to the hotel yet.”

“I will go with him.” Someone from the corner said that Harry couldn’t make out.

“Thanks Draco.” Brittany said. As they were walking out the door Ginny started to ask something.

“John, can we write to each other. I know it sounds silly, but I can really talk to you about stuff I can’t with other peopler
“Sure, I’ll write though I don‘t think you get mail how I usually do. Brit, can you get me an owl or something so I can write to her and you.” John asked and Brittany nodded, “Well, bye and nice to meet all of you.” and with that John, Malfoy, and Brittany were off.

Why was Draco here? Harry kept thinking and then he noticed that Snape was there to. What are they doing here. Harry just kept thinking until someone talked to him. He was also thinking what can Ginny talk to him about that she can’t talk to me.

“Earth to Harry.” Someone said and he noticed that it was Ron. Harry then noticed that it has been a couple hours since he saw Snape and Malfoy here. Then he saw them again. This time only Malfoy and he was talking to Brittany about something. It looked private and personal.

“What is Snape and Malfoy doing here?” Harry finally asked not realizing Snape was right behind him.

“Potter we are here because we our in the Order and do not call me Snape.” Snape said with a weird look on his face.

“You killed Dumbledore! How can anyone trust you?” Harry said getting really loud.

“There are some things you don’t understand about that night.” Snape said also getting louder and louder each time he talked. By this time both Draco and Brittany were looking at them.

“BUT YOU KILLED HIM. EVEN IF I DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT WHOLE NIGHT I DO UNDERSTAND SOMETHING AND THAT IS YOU KILLED HIM.” Harry said really loud as everyone began to walk into the room.

“I KNOW I DID POTTER AND FOR A REASON THAT I DON’T HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO YOU.” Snape said as Brittany walked over then she saw that both Snape and Harry had there wands out and ready to hit each other with a spell. When they were about to hit each other she jumped on the middle and there spells backfired onto them.

“First of all if you want to duel each other DO NOT do it in front of me. Second of all Harry…… you are not the only one who cared about Albus Dumbledore. You are not the only one.” Brittany said beginning to cry. Now everyone was looking at her. No one, but the adults knew what Dumbledore meant to her.

“Brittany, why do you care about him so much? If you did care about him then you wouldn’t have forgiven Snape of killing him.” Harry said with so much anger.
“You want to know…. Why I care…. About Dumbledore so much.” She was now really crying, “He was… my grand… father.” Brittany said. Draco went over to confort her and to his amaze she let him. She looked up for a moment and said, “I will never forgive him… for what he did.” And with that she went outside still crying.

“Why did you have to do that Harry? Why? We really want to know?” Ginny said mad at what Harry had done.

“What did I do? I didn’t know? Besides she needed a good cry about it.” Harry said before he could stop himself.

“That was low.” Ginny, Hermione, and Ron said walking outside to check on Brittany, but they noticed she was sort of alright and went back inside because Draco was stopping her from crying and leaving.

“Is she ok? Lupin and Tonks asked almost at the same time as everyone else.

“Yea, she will be fine. I think.” Ginny said, “I’m going to bed. Night.” and she went to bed followed by Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

Post what you think!

Pretty good!!

i think it was really good!!

thank you i should be posting soon

Next Part: Hope you like it!

When Brittany walked in the door she was surprised that they were still talking though she had no clue what it was about this time. She was tired and could tell that everyone in the room was tired as well, but they wouldn’t go to bed or at least not till they get whatever they were talking about solved. Then someone noticed her and told them she was there listening to the conversation or trying to listen.

“You ok?” Someoen asked, but she had no idea who it was. “Names Fred. Fred Weasley.” He said.

“I’m George Weasley.” The other said. She knew they were twins because they looked exactly alike.”

“From what we here you had a bit… of a… how would I put it…. Ah, fight with Harry.” Fred said and it made her remind what he said.

“Yea, but I wouldn’t call it a fight. I would call it an argument. It wasn’t really an argument either, but it sure was not a fight.” She said and they started to laugh. Though she had no idea why. “Lupin am I staying here or going back to your house tonight?”

“Good question. That is what we were discussing before you came in.” Lupin said looking at everyone and they all nodded. “Well.. I guess your staying here…. For the rest of the summer. I know you may not want to, but we think it is for the better.”

“Guess I don’t have a choice do I?” Brittany said with a look of disgust. She really didn’t like this place. She liked being alone to think and do things that she wanted to do, but she can’t here because there were other teenagers here and they will probably want to do things with her. She was not used to that anymore. She was used to being by herself and doing things by herself.

“No sorry you don’t, but you will have fun here. You can spend time with kids your own age and get to know them. I know you like being by yourself. I noticed that the first day I met you, but in Britain you are in much more danger and I don’t want anything to happen to you. You mean a lot to me.” Lupin said with a smile and hugged her.

“K, I won’t do anything stupid and I will not start a fight with anyone.” Brittany said with a yawn.

“Ok, time for bed you.” Lupin said as everyone looked at him.

“You’ re going to sleep down here tonight because we don’t have any rooms at the moment or anywhere for you to sleep, but on the couch.” Mrs. Weasley said unsure if she was allowed to be her own way with her instead of this scared person that she was acting like right now.

“Are you feeling alright because you don’t act like this around the other kids. Also I;m not going to do anything that is remotely bad or dangerous around you. You seem like the person who like to have order and authority in the house and I am sorry if I offended you earlier. I didn’t mean it.” Just by what Brittany said made Mrs. Weasley ease up a bit. What is it about me that makes people scared so much? Brittany kept thinking then she noticed all, but one person went to the kitchen.

“What do you want?” Brittany asked him.

“Brittany, I was wondering do you know how to close your mind and look for magical frequencies?” He asked not sure of whether he should or shouldn’t.

“Yea…. What should I call you, but anyway I do know how and why do you want to know?” Brittany asked him. She finally noticed that the man standing in front of him had extremely greasy hair. I wonder if he ever takes a shower or is his hair always like that? She kept thinking until he spoke again.

“Call me Servious for now and I should be going. Have a big day tomorrow that I can not get out of. Bye.” Snape said with a grimace of a smile.

“Bye.” She said and fell almost instantaneously asleep.

At around midnight someone was trying to wake up Harry. It was a girl with long red hair and freckles all over her face. It looked like she really needed to talk to him so he got up and put on his glasses which were on the nightstand.

“What’s up?” He asked.

“Lets go downstairs and talk I don’t want to wake up Ron.” Ginny said walking out of the room with Harry close behind. When they got downstairs they didn’t notice that Brittany was on the couch sleeping so they just began to talk. “Is everything in that letter you wrote true?” Ginny asked extremely serious about it.

“Yea and I meant it.” Harry said looking her straight in the eye, but looked away a few seconds later.

“Harry why didn’t you tell me any of this before? Why didn’t you tell me about the horucruxes?”

“I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to get hurt and I also didn’t want you to come along when I go look for them.” When Harry said this he saw something moving in the shadows. “Ginny, what is that?” He asked in a soft whisper.

“I don’t know!” She answered. Then Harry went over to the light switch and saw who it was. It was Brittany, but she really didn’t look like herself. She looked scared and helpless. Nothing like she was that morning.

“Brittany, what are you doing here? Did you here everything I just said? Why do you look so scared?” Harry asked while Ginny went behind him. Ginny was concerned and Harry was worried.

“It’s not your business and I did here everything you said which is nothing new to me. I have heard about the horucruxes and stay quiet. Someone is in this room.” Brittany said looking behind them, but whatever was in the room was now behind Ginny. “Guys get behind me.”

“Why?” They both said together, but they were to slow and the thing got Ginny.

“Get off of her you stupid..” But she couldn’t finish her sentence. Something just grabbed her, too. Harry was the only one left and was so confused he didn’t notice a spell coming right for him, so, it hit him square in the chest and he froze.

That was great!!

who put its horrible and can you tell me why

Nope not me. I voted i love it

I didn't even know you were reading it and thanks. Though I stil want to know who did say it was horrible and why they said it

Hehehe I work in many mysterious ways!

Next Part:

Everyone came down right after not sure of what happened. Harry was lying on the floor frozen. Hermione went over and did the counter curse and he unfroze. He was so shocked he didn’t here them ask a question.

“Harry, Harry where are Brittany and Ginny?” Hermione asked looking around to see neither if them.

“The Death Eaters took them. They froze me and knocked Brittany over the head with something because she wouldn’t stop moving and Ginny they did the same to her as they did to me.” Harry was worried. More worried about Ginny than anyone at the moment. “I should have listened to her. Why didn’t I listen to her?” Harry just kept saying.

“Listen to who Harry?” Ron asked looking scared.

“I should have listened to Brittany when she said to get behind her. She was obviously going to stun them or something, but she couldn’t. She didn’t want to hurt us.”

“Harry, don’t blame yourself. Did Brittany have her cell phone on her.” Hermione asked.

“I think so. Why do you want to know?” Harry asked confused because they should be worrying about them right now than if Brittany had her damn cell phone on her.

“Cause Lupin put a tracking device in it and said if anyone took her he could be able to find her. Don’t ask how I found out. Mrs. Weasley someone needs to go get Lupin.” Hermione answered.

“I know, Hon go get him and hurry.” Mrs. Weasley said to Fred and he left that same second and a few seconds later Tonks and Lupin were there.

“I can’t get a read on her. It is like something is blocking the signal.”

“Lupin, I saw Snape here and he was the one who took Brittany and knocked her over the head.” Harry said realizing that Snape was ont eh other side after all. He hated Snape and was going to get back at him for what he did.

Meanwhile Ginny was laying on the floor confused at what was going on. It looked like she was in a grimy cell. Then she looked right in front of her and saw Brittany unconscious.

Looking out of the cell she saw a man in a clock. His hood was over his head. When he noticed that she was looking he spoke.

“Your finally awake and I thought I would have to force you to wake up.” the man hissed. She knew that voice, but wasn’t sure who it was. “Don’t you know me or do you forget our encounter in your first year at Hogwarts.” He said with a little laugh.

“Why am I here and why is Brittany unconscious? What did you do to her?” She asked furious at Voldmort.

“You’re here because I want to lure Potter here. Brittany is unconscious because Servious knocked her over the head with something or other and I didn’t do anything to her.” He said looking down at her wondering why she hadn’t woken up yet. “Should I wake her up for you?” He asked. Then he walked into the cell took Brittany in his arms and healed her and she woke up then and there.

“Where the hell am I and why the hell am I in your arms?” She said moving away from him. She didn’t want to be anywhere near Voldmort.

“You both are in Azkaban Prison and I was healing you for your information.”

“You didn’t have to…” But she cut herself off. She didn’t want to finish what she was saying. Then they both noticed that he was moving out of the cell and leaving and there were no guards watching them. “They are so stupid.” Brittany said with a laugh.

“Why are they stupid?” Ginny asked.

“I’ll answer that question later.” Just then Brittany and Ginny heard footsteps coming towards them. They were being pulled out of the cell by someone they both knew. “I have to ask, Servious, why are you doing this?”

“Because I only serve the Dark Lord.” Snape said with a laugh.

GREAT!!

Really I thought it sucked.

It didn't!! It was awesome!

ok, the next post should be up in at the most two days

Yay!!

Or today so here is the next part: Hope you enjoy!!

“No that is not what I meant. It is obvious you are loyal to Voldmort. What I meant was why are you moving us?” Brittany said with a struggle because someone was putting something on her neck.

“I am moving you because the Dark Lord asked me to move you to a high security cell and her to a different cell were Potter and his friends would have to look for her.”

“Get off me!! What did you put on me?” She said mad at the fact that they wouldn’t let go.

“It is a necklace to stop you from using your powers so we don’t have to hit you over the head again.” He said with a laugh. By that time they already shoved Ginny into the cell that she was going to stay in. Ginny looked so scared.

Snape didn’t know someone was listening in on the conversation. “I will go get them don’t worry.” He said in a whisper and he apparated to the Weasley’s.

When he got there it was already noon and they were still very worried, but now they contacted the whole order and the Ministry of Magic of the kidnappings.

“How is it?” Mrs. Weasley asked coming to the door.

“It’s Draco. I know where they are.” As he said that she opened the door and was willing to listen. Even though he might be telling a lie.

“Come in,” She said very upset, but when he got into the door he saw Harry was furious and so was everyone else.

“I had nothing to do with this. I swear I didn’t.” He said scared that they might do something to him.

“Where are they?” Harry said walking over to him and grabbing his shirt. Harry just wanted to hurt him so bad that he didn’t realize that he was chocking him.

“I’ll… tell you… if you… get off of me..” Draco said almost out of breath, “They are Azkaban Prison. Ginny is in a cell that is not easily found and Brittany is in a high security cell. I would’ve gotten them, but there were guards everywhere. As well as dementors.”

“Why dodn’t Brittany get them both out of there to begin with.” Lupin asked knowing that she could do almost anything without a wand.

“At first it was because she was unconscious. Then they put some sort of necklace on her to stop her from using her powers and that means all of them. She is completely vulnerable right now.” Draco said beginning to get his confidence back. As he said that Harry was beginning to walk out the door with Ron and Hermione. They wanted to save them before they got hurt to badly. “Your not going to be able to get in there. Unless you have me.”

“Then come on. I’m not going to wait here forever.” Harry and Ron said not exactly sure of what they said.

“Wait, how do we know this isn’t a trap by you to get Harry or any of us for that matter?” Tonks said before anyone else could say it.

“It is a trap for Harry, but that is only Ginny. They have something different planned for Brit.”

“But HOW do we know it isn’t a trap. We figured Ginny was a trap for Harry, but how….” Tonks was cut off by Malfoy, “Do you honestly think that I want Brittany hurt or any of use for that matter?” He asked mad.

“Yea, I do” Tonks said as everyone nodded, “Then tell us why? Tell us why you wouldn’t want to hurt us.. Or Brittany.” She stated beginning to get extremely frustrated.

“Cause if you get hurt and it is my fault she will never trust me. I like Brittany and I don’t want her to get hurt. Do you believe me yet.” He said sad about what they might be doing to her at that precise moment.

“I believe you. Lets go, I don’t want Brittany to get hurt anymore.” Lupin said.

“What do you mean get hurt anymore?” Draco asked.

“They are torturing her right now and I can feel it. Lets go!!” He said and he apparated out followed by everyone else.

Wonderful job!!

When they got there they noticed that there weren’t to many Death Eaters anywhere. The ones they did find they Stupefied them and went on looking. When they came to Ginny’s cell she was not awake.

“Ginny, Ginny!!” Mr. Weasley said, but she didn’t respond.

“She’s not going to wake up.” Someone said from behind. It was Snape, the traitor. “We sort of tortured her until she spoke. I know your wondering what she might know, right,” They all nodded with there wands still at the ready, “She knows a lot about Brittany no body knew. Why do you all look like that? Don’t you know of her little problem.” Snape said laughing at them. None of them knew what Ginny now knew, but two people.

“You know!! What did you do to her!?” Lupin said angry and ready to do whatever it takes to get Snape talk about what he actually knew about her. “Where is she Snape!? Where!!?”

Snape answered with a sneer, “I thought Draco told you. Yes.. I know about his betrayal. It's sad really, he gave up his life for a girl. That sometimes can’t even go out in sunlight because it will kill her. I must be off, my master is calling and you are supposed to come.” They all looked at Ginny then him, “Take the pathetic girl. We only needed her to tell us a few things about her. Come On!!”

wow..so is brittany a vampire or something? that was really good btw.

that was really good!

thanks, but personally I think it sucked

Here is the Next Post Hope You Like!!!

Next Part:

They followed Snape onto an old water covered place. The water was up to everyones stomachs.

“I’m not going through that!!” Ginny said finally awake from what has happened.

“Yes you are unless you want to go back to your cell.” Snape said with a sneered expression on his face. They followed him until he stopped abruptly at a wall. He said something to it that Harry couldn’t understand and then told everyone to walk through it.

When they all got through they could see Brittany in the only high security cell there was. She didn’t look like herself at all. Even though it had only been a few hours since her and Ginny’s capture.

“OMG, Brittany!!” Tonks said, “What have they done to you?”

“You have to minutes until my master will be here.” and with that Sanpe went out the door and made sure they couldn’t leave.

“Ginny….” Brittany said trying to talk as loud as she could, “What did you tell them and be honest please.”

I… I…. told them everything. They said if I didn’t they would kill me. I’m so sorry.”

“I don’t mind as long as you get me away from the window. NOW!!” Brittany said in s much pain. Nobody really knew what was wrong. Lupin immediately went over to get her out and with much luck the diffindo spell worked. He gave her the cloak he had on.

“Hey Brit… I was wondering… why the bloody hell were you burning up?” Ron asked in much difficulty, but she didn’t answer. All she did was go back into the cell to look for something that she needed in order to survive at the moment.

“If I were a ring, where would I be?” She kept asking herself and in the corner was a shiny ring. She took off the cloak and put it on. This time she didn’t burn. “Thank you Thank you!!” She kept saying when someone walked in.

“Hi Tom.” Brittany said with a smirk, “Long time no see!!” She said as she walked towards him and pushed him against the wall.

“I told you before. I do not go by that name. Avada Kedavra!” Voldmort(Tom) said. It hit her square in the chest, but she did not die. On the contrary it made her even more mad than she already was.

“How… How…. How did that happen?” Harry asked shocked that all she did was stand there and it did not kill her.

“That is a later conversation. Right now I am pissed off and I am in the mood for target practice!!” Brittany said and started throwing Electricity Balls at Voldmort. He kept dodging them until one hit his arm and it c aught fire.

“Now I have to say ‘You are good’ but not as good as me unfortunately. I thought you would put more of a fight up seeing as last time I beat you to. I wonder what the world would say if I killed you and your remaining…” She put up her hand and when she said ‘horucruxes’ they came to her.

Voldmort was shocked by this. Even Nagini, pet snake, was there. “Feel hopeless noe. I will make you a deal.” She began and when he nodded she made her propasition, “If you leave me alone and not try to do anything that would remotely make me mad, which you know what does, I will not help anyone find or kill your remaining horucruxes.” She finished and everyone was shocked.

“Will you do an unforgivable vow for that.” Voldmort asked.

“I would, if they actually worked on me,” She said with a laugh, “Can’t you trust me on this on. Or do I have to try and do it. If I have to I will let this only spell through.”

“Good, then lets do this. Pick one of your people and I will pick one of mine.” Voldmort picked Belatrix and Brittany picked Lupin.

Voldmort began, “Will you, Brittany, not help anyone find my horucruxes.”

“I will,” said Brittany.

I thin tongue wit brillant flames came out of both Lupin and Belatrix’s wands and went around both of their hands.

“And will you not help them kill them as well.”

“I will.”

And another brillant flame that came out of Lupn and Belatrix’s wands and went around their hands.

“And will you, Voldmort, “Everyone was shocked to here Brittany say something, “Not go after me.”

Another flame erupted from their wands.

“I will.”

“And will you at the end of everything, even though he might do something that he wasn’t supposed to do, finish off Snape once and for all.”Brittany said. She realized she just changed it, but wanted to for a reason. It took him awhile, but thought wprth it.

“I will.” And the final and last went around both of their hands and bound them thickly around their hands.

With that they were able to let go. Brittany got ride of the horucruxes and left woth everyone and so did Vodmort and his crew.

When they got back to the Burrow everyone was still shocked at what had just happened. Everyone also didn’t know why Brittany said that, but they knew she had her reasons for it.

Harry finally asked, “Why didn’t you tell me you could do that earlier. Before you made that ridiculous vow.” Harry out outraged, but she didn’t answer. She was back to her normal self that really didn’t like talking instead she said, “There is a reason I did that ridiculous vow. Oh and Harry you should send an owl to your aunt she is worried about you.” and with that she went to the roo she was staying in.

The next morning there was surprise visiter. Harry’s aunt had finally came and she was with his oversized cousin Dudley.

“Dudley there is nothing you should be scared of.” She kept saying to him, “They are not like that very tall amn that gave you the pigs tail.” Petunia knocked on the door and Brittany answered.

“Hi, we are here to drop of Harry stuff.”

“K, what are your names so I can tell Mrs. Weasley to call him down and please come in.”

“Petunia and Dudley.” She said as they both walked in the house, “Are you related to any of them.”

“No, I am staying with them just for the summer.”

“Harry has never mentioned you.”

“I’m an exchange student from the U.S. and I thought he didn’t talk to you guys much. That is what I heard.” Just as she said that Harry and his friend came down the stair. “I better get going. I have some stuff to do.” Mrs. Weasley handed her something and she left.

“Hi, you brang my stuff.”

“Yes, it is in the car. Dudley help…” But she was cut off.

“Don’t worry about it.” Harry said as his trunk was being levitated into the room. “Nifty, huh.”

“Yes, that is. Well… we should be off. Bye.” Petunia said, but Mrs. Weasley said, “Stay and have a spot of breakfast and beside I have to ask you about that noght you sent Harry here.” By that time everyone was downstairs to here what she just said.

“Ok,” and she followed Mrs. Weasley into the kitchen leaving Dudley alone.

“Scared aren’t you? Don’t worry we won’t do anything to you, but Fred and George might if they come over.” Harry said as he walked into the dining room.

They all ate quietly until Petunia asked a question, “Where is that girl that I met this morning?” Petunia asked not sure she should have.

“Yeah, I have been wondering the same thing.” Ginny said finally talking this morning.

“She went to go and help out Fred and George with their shop. They should be here any minute now.” When she said that a minute later they walked in the door laughing at something.

“Did you see that blow up in her face.” Fred said still laughing.

“Yes, and did you see her when she put that in her mouth. She blew up like a balloon.” George said still laughing.

“Yes, and did you see her put one of your chocolate frogs in her mouth and she started to turn bright red. Then we added the dung bombs and she fled for her life.” Brittany said laughing, but she began to stop and so was Fred and George.

“Hi Mum umm…. Did you here all that?” Fred and George asked. There mother nodded and began to get up from there seat. “We can explain…. Go Go!!” George said and were off pulling Brittany with them.

Very good!! So Brittany is a vampire??

well technically yes but she can go out in the sun if she wears a ring..... and yes she is

This is the Next Part: I had my friend help me add more detail so I hope it is better.

“Well, they should be running. Considering what they did to that poor lady from the Heath Burrow.” Mrs. Weasley said and walked out of the room. About an hour later the Dursley’s left shocked and worried about what was to come.

A couple minutes later Fred, George, and Brittany came out of hiding. “Well, at least mum isn’t going to yell at us anymore because she’s to busy making lunch.” Fred said and all three of them laughed.

At the end of the night Harry, Ginny, Fred, George, Hermione, and Ron were talking when all of a sudden Brittany came into the living room. They had given her the basement to sleeping after a bit of fixing up and decorating courtesy of Mrs. Weasley.

“Hey Brit, what’s wrong?” Harry asked. She didn’t look so good. Her eyes were turning darker and she was beginning to become very pale.

“Nothing…. Nothing at all.” Brittany answered, but they knew this wasn’t the truth. Ginny got up to get her mother. When they got back Brittany seemed like a totally different person. She didn’t have the same voice. Her tone was a bit lower than it normally was and now her eyes had become completely black.

“Er…err…. Someone.. go get Lupin and hope that he can contain her.” Mrs. Weasley said in a shrill voice. Ron and Fred went to go get him while the others tried a few spells to stun her, but nothing was working.

Not a moment to soon, Lupin came running threw the door carrying something red in his hand. “Brittany don’t go after them! Err….. Go after me..” Lupin said. Brittany opened her mouth to show two very large fangs.

“She’s a v-vampire…. Isn’t she?” Hermione asked stuttering. Then all of a sudden Harry jumped on Brit’s back trying to hold her down, but it didn’t work. She threw him off like he was piece of steak.

“Yea, and your point is. I wasn’t going after them Lupin. All I was going to do was move them out of the way and leave to go suck someone else’s blood.” Brittany said with a desperate look of hunger.

“Brittany, it’s okay, I have some for you. So you don’t have to go after innocent people.” Lupin said trying to give her the bottle. She took it willingly , having no idea what was in it. When she finished the bottle, she fell and past out cold.

“Lupin, what did you put in that bottle?” Fred and George asked together wondering why, what had seemed liked a monster just five seconds ago, was now sleeping like a baby.

“Oh… it contained blood and a sleeping potion. Lets just put it this way, if you drank that sleeping potion it would have killed you.” Lupin said in a kind of laugh.

“Sh-sh- she’s, she’s a vampire. We have a vampire in our house!” Ron stuttered wide eyed and pale faced.

“Yes, Ron we have a vampire. But we have it under control.” Lupin explained.

“A- A- vamp- vampire.” Ron whispered.

“Yes, Ron she is a vampire now get over it!” Ginny said throwing her arms into the air and stomping off to her room.

“WE HAVE A VAMPIRE IN THE HOUSE! DOES NO ONE ELSE SEE WHAT’S WRONG WITH THAT SENTENCE!”

“Now Ron… dear… I think that maybe you’re…you’re taking this the wrong… wrong way.” Mrs. Weasley tried to say cheeringly. “No-now I think it’s time we all just went to bed.”

“With a vampire… in… in the house” Ron wimpered.

“Off to bed with you.”

The next morning Harry woke up in an excited mood ,even after what happened the night before, was now in scripted in his mind. But it was his birthday, he had every right to be happy, now he could finally use magic outside of Hogwarts. He was looking around the room to see what magic he could use, but was cut off by a knock on the door.

“Can I talk to you?” Someone asked. Harry knew that voice and he was glad it was back to normal.

“Sure, I’ll meet you downstairs in a minute.” Harry said and listened as the feet walked away down the hall. ‘What would she want to talk about?’ Harry thought. When he came into the kitchen from the living she wasn’t there. He went outside knowing it was the most likely place she could be and he was right. She was sitting in the garden waiting for him to join her.

“What did you want to talk about?” Harry asked unsure of himself.

“About last night. I can’t remember what I did. All I remember is that someone jumped on me and I threw them against the wall.” Brittany said, “I have a feeling that was you and I wanted to apologies for it. Can you tell me what happened.”

“Ok, well me, Ron, Ginny, Hermione, Fred, and George were talking about stuff, when you came upstairs and your eyes were going black and your face was getting paler by the minute. Ginny went to go get her mom and she told someone to get Lupin. He came back with a bottle in his hand. I jumped on your back to try and hold you down. It didn’t work so Lupin started to hand you the bottle you took it and fell asleep.”

“He used the sleeping potion on me didn’t he?”

“Yea, he did.”

“Well at least no one got hurt or at least not all of them.” Brittany got up and walked over to him, “Thanks for trying to hold me down.” With that she gave him a kiss on the cheek and started to jog up the street.

Harry couldn’t believe she kissed him on the cheek. Harry didn’t know what was wrong with him. He had feelings for Brit, but he had feelings for Ginny, which were much deeper.

“Hey, what are you doing out here at this time of morning?” A girl with long red hair and hazel eyes asked.

“Nothin much. I was just talking to Brit about what happened last night.”

“Explains why your up this early. Did she remember that she threw you into a wall!!” Ginny said. Mad at the fact that Brittany had the nerve to attack him.

“Yeah, but apparently she couldn’t remember what had happened last night. Though she did have a feeling it was me.” He said now looking into her eyes. ‘They’re so beautiful’ Harry kept thinking. She was walking closer to him and he realized he was doing the same.

They held each other close. Harry kissed her on the lips. When he tried to pull away he was pulled back by Ginny creating an even more passionate kiss. They were about to take it a bit farther, when Ron and Hermione came outside looking for them.

That was better!! I like it a lot!!

I should have my friend help me add detail everytime before I post!! Lol, I have to write the next part still so when I get an idea I will.

i loked that heaps!

i mean liked, lol

i love your style of writing and your story is fab!

thanks, both of you. I should be posting by the Tuesday or Wendsday hopefully

Next Part: It's not much, but it is something.

“Hey guys, we’ve been looking for you everywhere.” Hermione said with Ron trialing not to far behind.

“We’ve been out here the whole time.” Harry explained

“Do you guys know where Brittany is? They really need to talk to her about……. last night” Ron ended in a whisper.

“I hear people are looking for me.” Brittany said walking up from behind Ron.

“Where the bloody hell did you come from?” Ron squealed.

“None of your business.” Brittany mumbled stepping into the kitchen.

Harry and Ginny were about to follow ,when Hermione spoke, “We’re supposed to stay outside.”

“Well then anyone for a quick play of quidditch?” Ron asked.

“No, I’m not in the mood.” Harry said. Everyone was shocked. Harry was never the one to turn down a game quidditch.

“Harry is everything alright?” Ginny asked shocked as well.

“Yeah…. But… I just have to think,” Harry said and sat down.

“I’M SORRY I DIDN’T TELL EVERYONE AND I’M SORRY RON’S SCARED OF ME, BUT I WASN’T SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU ANYTHING!!” Brittany screeching voice came flooding out the kitchen door.

“WELL YOU SHOULD HAVE!!” Mrs. Weasley retorted in her own screech.
They went towards the kitchen and made the mistake of opening the door. The only thing this resolved in was a sound that very well resembled a banshee arguing with a mermaid on land.

Though they knew better then to get in Mrs. Weasley’s way, Harry felt the need to intervene.

“Mrs. Weasley…. Mrs. Weasley..” Harry tried over the yelling, but she continued to ignore him in an attempt to win over Brit, “MRS. WEASLEY DO I HAVE TO YELL TO TALK TO YOU?”

“You’re all supposed to be outside. Now go!” She said, but Harry didn’t move.

“I’m not moving.” Harry stated and Mrs. Weasley looked offended, “I still have something to say.”

“Harry don’t bother I’m leaving! I am tired of people judging because I’m something different. ESPEACILLY THE WEASLEY FAMILY. Lupin told me you weren’t quick to judge people, but I guess he was wrong.” Brittany said and went to her room.

“Harry, what did you want to say?” Mrs. Weasley said.

“I was going to say….” But Harry stopped, “Nevermind, I’ll be in Ron’s room.” Harry said and walked to the steps leading to Ron’s room, but didn’t go up them instead he went to see Brittany.

that was good

thanks... but im stuck and need ideas! if anyone has any pm i really need some

Okay, this part may not be very good. I kinda got stck and couldn't think, but the thoughts I did have I wrote so here is the next part....

As he walked down the stairs to the basement he heard Brittany talking to herself, or that is what he thought. When he got fully downstairs she was talking to someone with blond hair. ‘He looks like someone I know. Who is it?’ Harry kept wondering while waking softly behind mounds of junk in the room.

“Well, I have to go. I’ll see you later.” The guy said kissing Brittany on the cheek and then left with a crack.

A few moments later Harry heard 2 pairs of footsteps coming down the stairs. Brittany heard it, too. Two girls, one with brown bushy hair and the other with long red hair came down with looks of pleads. They were no other than Hermione and Ginny.

“Brit, please don’t leave!” Ginny pleaded.

“I had to go anyway you guys. I’ll see use at school. There is no doubt about that.” Brittany said with a broad smile on her face.

“But… it will be different when we’re at school.” Hermione stated.

“You’ll have more responsibilities and you won’t be you almost irresponsible self.” Ginny said remembering what had happened the night before. Before the thing where Brittany changed into something she can’t control.

“I do have to act more responsible, but that doesn’t mean I can hang out with you guys. Yes, being your new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher will come with some complications, but I will still be there.” Brittany said coming over there and giving them both a hug before going to do more work, but she was quickly stopped by an idea she had, “How about you two come a week early to school and we can hang out and maybe I can teach you things before school starts so you have a head start. Both Hermione and Ginny agreed to go a week early. Then left leaving a listening Harry and Brittany to themselves.

Harry was trying to sneak out, but accidentally dropped a box that made a lot of racket when it hit the floor. By this time Brittany had her wand raised to the spot where the box dropped not knowing it was Harry.

“Stand up! So yourself!” She said and saw Harry ’s head come up. She out down her wand not knowing that it wasn’t really Harry. When she saw his face it didn’t look like the one she saw earlier but looked pale, his scar was a bright red, he also had snake like eyes that made her really think who he really looked like.

“Harry … Harry are you okay?” She asked frightened at what might happen. Just then Harry put his wand and threw here to the other side of the room.

“They let you have the job at the age of seventeen and I Lord Voldmort was not allowed the job.” Harry hissed She now knew that it was defiantly not Harry. “You look scared! I though you weren’t scared of anything.” He hissed again.

“Well, I am. I’m not afraid to admit it wither like you. Aren’t you breaking the vow we made each other.” Brittany asked stubbornly and beginning to become her non scared self again.

“I’m not here for you. I was here for something else.” He hissed and started to walk up the stairs. ‘I have to stop him’ Brittany thought, ‘I’m quicker.’ She went upstairs surrounded by bright lights.

When she got upstairs Voldmort was almost neat the Weasley family with his wand out, ready to strike. No one noticed what he was about to do, so, Brittany attacked him with an electric type ball that came out of her hand. Everyone went to help Harry up. When they noticed who hit him.

“Why did you do that?” Ginny and Hermione asked outraged. Not knowing what was going on. Brittany saw a smirk on his face. “Are you okay Harry?” Ginny asked picking him up off the floor.

“That isn’t Harry. That Vold…” But he couldn’t finish someone hit her with the impedimenta spell. It was Voldmort. “He I in his head.” Brittany then charged after him and disappeared into Harry’s head. When she went in everyone looked at Harry and noticed that he had snake like eyes, before he fell to the ground looking lifeless.

Brittany didn’t exactly know what part of Harry’s mind she was in. She then heard people arguing and throwing spells back and forth. She heard Harry say, “Get out of my head you over centric git.” She heard Voldmort say, “I’m not leaving until I know the rest of the prophecy.” Then threw more spells at each other.

“Harry, the only way you can get him out of your head is if you think and feel the one thing he can’t handle.” Brittany said before she could stop herself. Harry understood what she said. He thought about everything he loved and cherished. He saw Voldmort beginning to scream when there were images all around them. Before Harry could say anything Voldmort left and Brittany went out of his head as well.

“My head hurts!” Harry said coming back to life and looking like his old self.

“That’s what you get when you don’t know how to block your mind.” Brittany said with a laugh.

“Thanks for the help.” Harry said.

“No problem, it’s my job as you know.” Brittany said getting up off the ground.

“You’ll make a great teacher.” Harry said also getting up off the floor and sitting on the couch. He then noticed Ron’s face. It looked pale.

“What do you mean teacher.” Ron asked.

“She’s going to be your knew DADA teacher.” Ginny said excited, but Ron still looked pale.

“How can they hire you?” Ron asked Brittany beginning to gain more control over himself.

“Ron they hired me because they didn’t know anyone else at the moment that could teach the students about Defense Against the Dark Arts. I know that you are scared that I might change into a vampire, but the only way I will turn is if I loose to much blood or get really mad and want to hurt someone. I won’t hurt you.” Brittany said coming over to him. Ron finally looked like himself.

“Oh mom, I forgot to tell you Hermione and I are going to Hogwarts a week early to spend sometime with Brittany and she might teach us a few things before school starts so we are ahead of everyone.” Ginny said hoping her mom won’t say ‘no’.

“Oh… you are all actually going a day after Brittany goes to the school.” Mrs. Weasly said upset at the fact that her kids won’t be here for long.

“We are!” All the kids said.

“Yes you’re going, but not until we celebrate Harry’s birthday. Now he really deserves it after what has happened so far today.” She said with a smile.

This part was really crappy! But it was something.

It wasn't as good as the rest, I have to admit, but it was still pretty good!!

ye, i agree with d-fly

yea im still having writers block and trying to get over it..... i no it was crappy but it was something i didnt want you waiting that long

I really didn’t like the last part I wrote, so, I decided that I would rewrite the last part. So, here it goes. I hope it is better!

Mrs. Weasley then left the room and went to the kitchen. Hermione, Ginny, and Ron just kept looking at Harry hoping that it was still him.

“Are you alright?” Ginny asked, not sure idf what was going on anymore.

“Yeah… I’m fine. At least no one was hurt.” Harry said unsure.

“Yeah, but, Brittany was hit pretty hard with the Impedimenta spell. I wonder how she took it so well? She should have been knocked out. Hermione said when Brittany came walking up to them unhurt.

“Hermione, the answer to your question is I have a strong force field that protects me from all spells.” Brittany said wondering if she had to answer anymore questions. She hated answering questions all the time.

“Did your parents have this type of power? Harry aked wondering how she got to be that powerful. He wanted to learn how to do that.

“I have a feeling I am going to have to answer a lot of questions.” Brittany said sure of herself. She hadn’t felt like that for some time now. “And you no Harry they didn’t have that power. They didn’t have most of the powers I have. Well, that’s what Dumbledore said. What else do you want to know?”

“Well…. Everything basically. We just want to learn more about you.” Hermione said.

“Ok… lets start from where I can remember.” Brittany said recalling everything she could think of. “I don’t remember from when my parents died fully, but I do remember I was not there. They took me to a close friend of theirs. They took care of me for about a week until my grandfather, Dumbledore, came and took care of me until I was four months old. He then knew from the number of times that Voldmort tried to get me that I was not safe in England. So, he took me to United Sates where he knew that he wouldn’t come looking for me and he was right. I stayed with a family, but I didn’t know that I was not their child until Dumbledore came and told me. I looked like Wendy, the one who raised me, except for my eyes. They were blue. I grew up like a muggle family, you know one of the members. I didn’t believe anything until Wendy confirmed it. She told me that everything he said was true and that one day I will move to England. Where I can learn more about my powers and how to use them. I didn’t even want to come. I didn’t care I had powers and I didn’t care about anything that had to do with England, but I eventually got to know Dumbledore and some of the Order and they told me it would be fun. So, I came here to find that Dumbledore was dead and then I… well you know the rest.” Brittany said happy that she didn’t have to explain much anymore.

“What were the names of all of them.” Ginny asked.

“Who?”

“The family that raised you. The one you grew up with.” Ginny

“Oh Zack, Chia, Wendy, Hector , and of course John. Though Hector didn’t come into the picture until I was 10 or 11.” Brittany stated.

“I haven’t heard from him for awhile. I wonder what he is up to?” Ginny said.

“Who John,” Ginny nodded, “He’s probably hanging out with friends. He does that a lot over the summer.” Brittany said with a sigh. She missed them a lot.

“Do you miss them?” Hermione asked. Brittany just nodded. “I don’t know how I would if I had to leave the people that I cared about.” Hermione said.

After she said that there was a knock on the door. Mr. Weasley answered it and in came some of there friends. They were all guessing they were here for the party and when seeing them they didn’t notice that Brittany had left.

“Hey, how’s it going?” One of the friends asked as they came and sat down. There were quite a few people.

“Hey Neville, Luna, Dean, Seamus! I didn’t know you were going to be here.” Harry said surprised.

“Oh well you weren’t supposed to know.” Dean said happy to be with his friends again.

“Having a good birthday so far.” Luna asked.

“It’s been…. Interesting.” Harry said with a laugh. He had finally noticed that Brittany wasn‘t there, “Where’d Brit go?”

“I think downstairs. She did say that she had to go today.” Ron said now looking around to see that Hermione and Ginny were gone to.

“Whose Brit?” Neville, Luna, Dean, and Seamus asked all together.

“A friend of ours and if we find the trio of girls then we can introduce you to her and you can say ‘hi‘ to the others.” Harry said.

“Is here last name Marshall?” Luna asked following the rest of them. Her dad was talking about a girl with that name in his paper. He had always wanted to meet her. ‘Maybe my dad could meet her if she is here.’ Luna thought.

“I don’t know.” Harry and Ron said together. They were all going downstairs to the basement. ‘I really don’t want to be here’ Harry kept thinking.

“Nothins going to happen Harry.” He heard Brittany say from the bottom of the steps. ‘I’ll believe it when I come up the stairs in one piece,’ Harry thought again. Brittany just laughed at the comment.

“What’s up?” Brittany asked wants they all reached the bottom step. They saw her packing some stuff of hers. It looked like she was almost done, too.

“Well, I wanted to introduce you to some people.” Harry stated, “Brittany this is Luna, Neville, Seamus, and Dean. Guys this is Brittany.” Harry finished pointing to her.

“What is your last name?” Luna asked wondering if she was right.

“Marshall…. Why do you want to know.” Brittany asked curious.

“Just wondering. There is a lot about you in the Daily Prophet and in the Quibbler these days.” Luna said. Brittany just nodded and went on packing the last few things she had left.

In know time she was done and all her stuff and then it just vanished in thin air with just a mutter of a words that Harry couldn’t make out.

****
By the end of the night many people from the order and Weasley family, except Percy, were there wishing Harry a happy birthday.

Harry had gotten a chess set from Ron, some of objects that were sold from Weasley’s Wizarding Weezes from Fred and George, a defense against the dark arts book from Hermione, a jumper from Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, a defense set from Mad- Eye Moody Lupin and Tonks, from Seamus and Dean he got a load of candy and pastries, Luna a weird looking type of telescope, Dobby a pair of socks, Neville got him a plant, and Ginny gave him a rare set of rocks that talked.

“Where is Brit?” Dean asked hoping that she was still here.

“She left awhile ago Dean, but don’t worry you’ll see her again.” Ginny said with a snort and walked off to go talk to Tonks.

****
The next day everyone woke up early. Neville, Luna, Dean, and Seamus was going to stay the rest of the summer after persuading there parents. They soon found out at breakfast that tomorrow they would be spending the rest of there holiday at Hogwarts, but no one really cared.

A couple of hours later they were at Diagon Alley getting there things for school. They were almost done with everything, all they had to get was there school books for the year.

“Do you know how much the Defense Against the Dark Arts Book is. It was 5 galleons and Ron complained to his mother about it. She said that she could get it and that you shouldn’t fuss to much.

“Ron you complain to much.” Someone said from behind. It was Brittany. Though she looked different than she did yesterday. She was wearing glasses and her hair was up in a pony tail. “You look different.” Ron said amazed by someone putting their hair up and putting glasses on made a difference.

“All I did was put my hair up and instead of wearing contacts I have on my glasses.” Brittany said .

“Why are the defense against the dark art books so much?” Ron said now complaining to Brittany.

“I didn’t pick the book. I wasn’t even going to use a stupid book. I always hated text books when I was in school. Well, I have to go get a few more things. I’ll see you later.” Brittany said and walked out of the store and down the street.

After getting their books they went to go see Fred and George’s shop, but they were closed so they went back to the Burrow to pack.

At dinner everyone was complaining they were tired. They all went to bed, but Harry couldn’t fall asleep. It didn’t matter how tired he was, he just couldn’t fall asleep. Harry heard something. It sounded like a person walking to the door. He grabbed his wand from the side table to see that it was Ginny.

“What are you doing?” Harry said putting his wand away.

“Scoot over a bit!” She said in a whisper getting into the bed. “I couldn’t sleep and I wanted to see you.” Ginny said giving Harry a kiss on the cheek. Dean, Seamus and Neville were in Fred and George’s old room.

After talking for a bit about what school was going to be like and the rest of the summer they fell asleep.

Harry and Ginny both awoke to Mrs. Weasley screaming up the steps saying “Get up you all have to go. You’re expected to be there at a certain time.” They all got up. Ginny went back to her own room and Ron and Harry got ready.

Their trunks were already downstairs so all they had to worry about were their pets. It was around 10 a.m. and all of them looked tired, especially the Order members. Harry and the others were forbidden to know what the order does at the moment. They say it is only for people over the age of 19 to know. Which meant the Weasley twins weren’t allowed to know either and sure enough they didn’t.

“How will we be traveling there Mrs. Wealsey?” Hermione asked hoping it wouldn’t be floo powder. She had never used it and she was a scared. The worst way of using floo powder was in his second year. Instead of going to Diagon Alley he went to Knockturn Alley which is dark, creepy, and very weird looking compared to Diagon Alley.

“Floo powder, dear. Now everyone partner up. Hermione and Ron, Seamus and Dean, Luna and Ginny, Harry and… hmmm…. Oh you can go with me. Now you all will probably go to a different fireplace. So, everyone meet me in the great hall. There should be someone meeting you at every fireplace.” With that said by Mrs. Weasley they took off. Hermione and Ron were first then it was Dean and Seamus then Luna and Ginny then Harry and Mrs. Weasley.

Harry ended up in a place he vaguely remembered. It looked like the Slytherin Common Room and sure enough Malfoy came walking up to them.

“I assume that you two were the last ones.” Draco said in a cold voice, but trying to be nice for some reason.

“Yes, Draco we were. We should go up to the great hall.” Mrs. Wealsey said and with that Draco led them out to the great hall. ‘Why is he here?’ Harry kept thinking. Loathing the jerk in front of him.

In what was thought to be hours by Harry they got to the great hall and everyone was there. “Molly, may I talk to you?” Professor McGonagall said. With that McGonagall left with Mrs. Wealsey and without them noticing so did Draco.

“Where did Malfoy go?” Harry asked wondering where he could have gone.

“Probably into the dining area. I thought I heard something earlier from in there, but I might be wrong.” Seamus said. They all walked in to find Brittany and Draco in combat. Using a wand and other skills that Brittany only knew how to do.

Brittany seemed to be very good, it was like she was Albus Dumbledore, but a girl. They saw Draco throwing dark spells and it didn’t look like he was having fun either like Brittany was.

“Come one Brittany. Don’t make me use another one of those spells.”
“Draco you promised. The only spell I wanted you to use was the killing curse and your too chicken.” Brittany said making clucking sounds and acting like a chicken. This obviously got Draco mad and he actually used the killing curse. Brittany wasn’t expecting it so she flew into the wall.

“What did you do!?!” Dean yelled.

“Dean, get a grip I’m fine. Caught me off guard. Good one.” Brittany said putting a curse on Draco that he said crazy things, like I have twenty toes and five tentacles. They all laughed at this, but Draco didn’t obviously. He was too busy saying things about himself. She eventually took of the curse and he now looked happy.

“What are you so happy about?” Brittany asked.

“Nothin…. Nothing.” He said and walked out of the room. He didn’t want to talk to any of them.

“You can block the unforgivable curses?” Luna asked wondering if what she just saw true.

“Yea, it’s nothing big. I’ve always been able to do it.” Brittany said with a smile. They all stared at her. Even Harry, who couldn’t believe what she could do. He wondered what else she can do, but was to shy to ask. “Well, I should get going. I have some plans I have to finish for the school year.” With that Brittany left them in the great hall to ponder.

The rest of the day Harry and his friends were in the lake, swimming and playing until they couldn’t anymore. They were so worn out and hungry that they forgot to change before they headed to the great hall.

By the time they got there they remembered and rushed up the secret passage way to get changed. In 15 min. they were back down in the great hall even more hungry than they were before.

When they got in there it seemed like there was a dispute between McGonagall and Brittany. ‘She is always getting into fights’ Harry thought laughing in his head. ‘ I bet she even started it’ Harry thought, but he shouldn’t because now Brittany was looking at him like he did something wrong, but then she turned to finish talking.

“Professor I didn’t do it. Why would I do such a thing?” Brittany asked contemplating as to what was going on.

“Miss. Marshall, I never said you did it, but someone did and I need to know who.” McGonagall stated. By this time everyone that just entered was wondering what thy were talking about. No one seemed to know, but the two standing there and talking.

“What’s going on?” Draco said sneaking up behind them.

“I don’t know, but it sounds bad.” Ginny said listening.

“Do you think it has anything to do with the huge pool of water in the second floor corridor.” Draco asked. Everyone looked at him. “What? It’s been there for awhile and no one knows how to get rid of it. They think it was a new invention from the Weasley brothers.” Draco said. Everyone was shocked that he didn’t call them blood traitors or any other type of name that would make fun of them.

“Malfoy, when have you ever been this nice to us?” Harry asked.

“Please, call me Draco. All of you. Since I learned it’s better to be good then evil all the time.” Draco said and walked over to Brittany who was now walking there way and was not stopping.

“Where are you going?” Dean asked.

“To get rid of the pool of water that the twins put in the second floor corridor.” With that she left and came back 5 min. later soak and wet. Everyone was looking at her and wondering why she didn’t dry herself., but seconds later she was dry.

Everyone was talking and chatting. Dean, Seamus, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Luna, Neville, Brittany, and Draco were getting along. They learned more about each other and was having fun.

At around ten o’clock they finally all headed to there rooms, but McGonagall stopped them before they could get there.

“Gryffindors, would you mind, since you are all getting along, if Draco and Luna would spend the night in the Gryffindor tower with uses. There houses are being cleaned and fixed up for the upcoming year and they both need a place to sleep.” McGonagall asked not sure if she wanted them with Draco in the Gryffindor tower.

Everyone looked at each other. They didn’t mind. So, Draco and Luna followed them instead of going down to there own houses When he got there he was amazed by ho different it was from his common room.

“Hey, where’s Brittany? I thought she was a …” But Ginny cut herself off. She forgot Brittany wasn’t sorted into any house yet and would be tomorrow. “Where does Brit sleep?” Ginny asked Draco.

“Recently she has been sleeping in the office type place, but it is actually a room. When she is sorted then she will sleep somewhere close to the house she’s put in.” Draco said. He was hoping she would get into Slytherin and the others were hoping she would get into Gryffindor or Ravenclaw.




****

The next morning everyone was excited especially Hermione, Ginny, and Draco. When they saw Brittany they all crowded around her asking her which house did she think she would be in, but she wasn’t sure. She did know that she would nit be in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. They established that the last time they tried to sort her into a house.

When they got to the great hall they saw the sorting hat on the Gryffindor table waiting for Brittany to put it on. So when she got over ther McGonagall put it on and it began to talk.

“Well, the last time I was put upon your head we established that you will not be going into Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. Though we were having trouble picking either Gryffindor or Slytherein. You still do not care which house you will be in, but you do wish to be with friends. You wish you can make friends easily and I would have to say that would be the Gryffindor or Slytherin house. You are a kind, gentle and well respected person. In some ways you would be good in Slytherin because you are able to do things that only Salazar Slytherin and his family line can do. Hmm….. This is harder than Harry Potters sorting, but I have to say that you belong in,” Sorting Hat said, “Slytherin!”

All the Gryffindor were saying ‘no’ in there head and Draco was saying ‘yes’. ‘Why did she have to be in Slytherin’ Harry thought, but he wasn’t sure he wanted to know.

“Why did Brittany have to be in Slytherin? Why not Gryffindor?” Ginny asked the Sorting Hat. He simply replied, “Because she has a lot of Slytherin’s traits. She also has a few of Gryffindor, but she didn’t care what house she got in. As long as she could make friends with people who won’t judge her for who she is.”

****
The rest of the summer went smoothly. Harry was beginning to wonder when he should go to Godrics Hollow to begin his quest to find the horucruxes. He finally decided the day before school started that he would start sometime after Christmas. He also knew that by the time it was Christmas he would know more defense against the dark arts. To protect him and the friends that were going.

During the summer Brittany had taught them to use a highly sophisticated shielding charm that she uses herself. That took a lot of concentration in Harry’s mind as well as the others. She had also taught them to use a sword. Which she says with certain creatures the sword is better to fight with. The last thing she taught us over the summer was to close our minds so no one could use our memories and thoughts against us. Like the time in my fifth year when my thoughts were used against me, which led to Sirius death.

****
“I can’t believe school starts today.” Hermione said wondering what school was going to be like this year. “You do know that we will probably have more homework and have to work harder Harry and Ron.”We know!” They both said together. The trio didn’t notice that someone had sat next to them until she spoke.

“You guys ready for my class this year?” Brittany asked hoping they will be confidant. “You know the stuff I taught you over the summer. Use are the only ones I’m teaching that too.” “Really? Shouldn’t you teach it to the others as well?”

“They say just stick to the book, but I must warn you guys about something. The first, second, and third years will be together, the fourth and fifth will be together, and the sixth and seventh years will be together and each house is together in the group.”

“Where are they going to put everyone and how long are the classes?” Hermione asked.

“Are you going to give us homework?” Ron asked hoping she would say ’no’.
“My classroom has become bigger to fit four houses and the years as well. They made it sort of fit around my schedule and Ron I will give you homework.” Brittany said. They all looked sad, except for Hermione, “You shouldn’t be smiling Hermione, it’s probably going to be to hard for you to even do.” Now Hermione looked sad.

“You would do that to us?” Dean and Seamus asked.

“Unfortunately, some of the homework will be hard. That I won’t even expect you to finish, but some of the homework will be tremendously easy and I will expect it to be done.” Brittany said. They all looked happier. “You should go get changed into you school robes . The students should start coming in in five min.” When she said that they all rushed to there houses to get changed.

***
Five min. later they were all at there house tables talking to there friends.

“I wonder who the new defense against the dark arts teacher is?” Lavender asked.

“I hope it isn’t a crack head like Snape or Delorus Umbrige.” Pavarti said.

“Don’t worry. You’ll like our new teacher. Though..” But Hermione was cut off by Professor McGonagall.

“Good Evening students! Some I must say welcome back and others I say welcome. Lets not keep the sorting waiting. So, I will begin…. Stella Crowbell….. Hufflepuff.”

“I wonder when this is going to be over I’m starving!” Ron exclaimed. A little while later they were on the last name on the list. The boy looked scrawny and nervous. He got into Gryffindor.

“Now that the sorting is done. I will give you the announcements. All students are not permitted to enter the Forbidden Forest. Second, I would like to tell you we will be having a Halloween Ball for fourth years and up. If you are asked by someone above foruth year you are allowed to go.” When McGonagall said this there was a lot of chatter, “Third, the potions teacher is still Professor Slughorn and is the Head of House for Slytherin. And lastly there is a new edition to the Slytherin house she transferred from the America and is in 7th year. Your knew Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is…” She stopped for a min. and asked the teacher to come to her. A moment later she said, “She prefers you call her Brittany.” McGonagall once again pointed to the new Slytherin girl.

“Professor, how can you say she can teach us. Isn’t she only 17.” Someone from Gryffindor table said. It was Lavender.

“Hey, she is a really good teacher.” Both Draco and Harry said. Brittany was just standing there waiting for the dispute to finish.

“How would you know Harry and the only reason your sticking up for her Malfoy is because she is a pureblood.” Parvarti said. Brittany had enough she was going to prove it.

“Ok, I’ll settle this.” Brittany said getting of the steps and walking over to the Gryffindor table Harry immediately got up. Then she walked over to the Slytherin table and Draco got up. “I’ll demonstrate to you what I can do to help you. I must ask you Harry and Draco should I use my wand or my hands.” She asked. They discussed for a min.

“First use you wand then hands.” Harry said finally. The tables then moved to make a square.

“How long should this duel go for?” Brittany asked McGonagall.

“As long as you think to get your point across your peers.”

“Ok, you guys agree?” Brittany asked them. They both nodded. “I am permitting you to use any spell on me, including the unforgivable ones and no you will not get in trouble. No one will find out.” Harry and Draco both looked at each other and smiled.

The duel began. It started out as defense spells. It grew to even bigger ones. “Come on I said any spells.” Brittany said while dodging a Sectasempra spells and sending it right back to Draco. “We aren’t stupid you know.” Harry said and uses the Crucartus Curse on Brittany. It didn’t do anything and it hit her straight in the chest. By then Brittany wasn’t using her wand anymore. She was using her hands and sending electricity all over the place. Draco and Harry had enough of electricity so they both hit her with the Killing curse. It made her fly backwards. By this time everyone was looking for her. Not even Draco and Harry knew where she was. They saw the spell hit her right in the chest, but they didn’t know where she went. Seconds later someone fell on top of them. It was Brittany and she had them locked down with her sword.

Her eyes were blood red as well. “Brittany are you okay.” Draco asked, but he knew what this was. “You need to get me out of here. Now!” She said and let them go. The tables went back to normal, and everyone started clapping.

Harry and Draco rushed Brittany over to the teachers table. They knew what was wrong and they rushed her to the back room, where in Harry’s fourth year went after he found out he was a triwizard tournament winner.

“Drink this Brittany.” Hagrid was saying. Brittany took it and seconds later the glass was empty and her eyes had gone back to normal.. “Feeling better?”

“Yea! Are you guys okay?” She asked noticing they were bleeding. She put her hands over there wounds and they instantly were healed.

“How did you do that?” Harry asked.

“I have the power to heal those who were hurt. It’s called healing.” Brittany said and then walked back upstairs with them. They parted and went to eat at their own tables.

“That was a wicked match! How was it? Was it difficult?” Ron asked while shoving chicken in his mouth.

“Yea it was hard. Just think what she could teach us in a year. With that mush intensity. She seemed determined.” Harry said thinking about the duel he just lost against Brittany.

“Just imagine she was on the Slytherin quidditch team. Harry when are you holding try-out. I have a few people who want to try-out.” Ron aked

“I’m not sure when. Maybe next week on Saturday.” Harry asked.

“Isn’t Draco the quidditch captain for this year?” Hermione asked. They both looked at her. “And Brittany does plan on trying out. Over the summer Ginny and I practiced with her, but she says she still likes soccer better. “

“Soccer? Don’t you mean football?” Seamus asked.

“Yea, but in America they call it soccer. Oh, what else did she like to play? I remember, field hockey and she loves to ice skate.” Hermione finished.

“She really likes to play sports.” Seamus said, “That’s my type of girl. Do you think she would go out with me.” He asked Hermione.

“I don’t know. I think she mentioned she had a boyfriend, but I’m not sure. Ron why are you all quiet?” Hermione asked Ron, “You too Harry?”


“Oh I was wondering who I would go to the ball with.” Ron said.

“Me, too.” Harry said.

“Hermione…. Would… would you like to go to the ball with… me?” Ron asked while swallowing the chicken he had in his mouth.

Hermione looked surprised and happy at the same time. She had always fancied him, but they were both to stubborn to say anything like that.

“Of course!” Hermione said. “Harry it’s your turn to find a date.”

“I’ve already figured out who I’m going to ask.” Harry said and got up and walked over to Ginny. “Ginny can I ask you something?”

“Sure what is it?” Ginny said taking a sip of her butterbeer.

“Will you go to the ball with me?” He asked sort of nervous and sort of confidant at the same time.

“Harry, did you even have to ask?” She said giving him a kiss.

“I’ll take that as a yes.” Harry said giving her a kiss back.

“Good.” Ginny said and Harry left to go back to his seat.
“Don’t go kissing my sister where ever you want.” Ron said with a stern look on his face. Then suddenly all the food disappeared and McGonagall got up.

“Well, now that we have all had our fill. I will say it is time to go to your rooms. Good night!” She said as the students began to get up.

“Hey Brittany!” Dean and Seamus said running over to her before she could get to far into the dungeons.

“Yes.” Brittany said right in front of the Slytherin corridor.

“I was wondering if you would like to go to the ball with me?” They both asked at the same time.

“Wow, I didn’t know this many guys would be asking me in one night, but sorry I already have a date.” Brittany said watching them get disappointed, “But while I’m there I’ll dance with both of you for one dance of your choice. If my date allows me to.” They now looked happier.
“Well, it was worth a shot. Who are you going with?” Seamus asked while Dean was nodding.

“Draco, he asked me a couple of min. before use two actually, but you should be heading to your common room. See you in class tomorrow.” Brittany said and the two ran off.

****
“Were did you two go last night that you ran off in the other direction?” Ron asked them.

“We went to ask Brittany if she wanted to go to the ball with either of us.” Dean said.

“What did she say?” Ron and Harry asked.

“No, but she did promise us a dance.” Seamus said.

“Who is she going with?” Hermione asked.

“Draco.” Dean and Seamus said together.

“Thought so. Did you here it’s going to be a costume party?” Hermione asked.

“It is?” They all asked.“Yea, I talked to Brittany this morning and she gave me all of the facts on it. Also, one guy and one girl whoever has the best costume will win some sort of prize.” Hermione said.

“Really, what kind of prize?” Ginny asked sitting next to Harry.

“I don’t know they wouldn’t tell her that part or she wouldn’t be able to win. So they left that part out.” When Hermione finished saying that Hagrid came up to them and handed each of them a timetable for the year.

“I have double defense right now, then I have Potions, then I have lunch, then I have potions again, then free period. What about you guys?” Harry asked.

“I have the same as you mate.” Ron said.

“Me too,” Hermione stated.
“I have charms instead of potions.” Ginny said.

“Cool, I say we get to class early.” Hermione said and they all followed her to defense against the dark arts.

When they got there no one was on the classroom and it did look bigger. “Wow, this place looks different.”

“Yea it does.” Harry said staring at the walls. Instead of pictures and everything they had unsual objects all over the wall. They heard something from the other room.

“Come on. Lets find out what it is.” Harry and Ginny said and walked towards the noise.

“Come on you can do better then that.” They heard someone say and they recognized the voice as Brittany so they opened the door to find them playing what Brittany called soccer.

“I thought you guys were here. We have like five min. you want to play?” She asked.

“Sure!” Hermione and Harry said, but the others said, “I don’t know how to play.”

“You can watch.” Brittany said and she made benches in the one corner. They sat down and watched.

The girls were beating the girls by 10 points by the time it was class time. “Girls are better than guys at this sport I guess.” She said and Hermione nodded.

“We were taking it easy on you.” Harry said and Draco nodded.

“Right and I’m the Queen of England.” Hermione said.

“Fine, next time we play we will play with all we got.” Draco said and joined the class that was now walking into the door. They all new that this was going to be a fun class. Probably better than their third year.

“Hello everyone. My name is Brittany Marshall and you may call me Brittany. Your probably wondering why I say call me Brittany,” They all nodded except for a few, “Because I think Brittany sounds better, but if you want to call me whatever go right ahead. I’m not stopping you. I was wondering who did not get the book for my class.” Quite a few people raised there hands. She was ready for this. “These are your books for the year. Sixth years may keep theirs for next year, but any seventh year who has a book can you please give it back at the end of the year. Ok, now that I have that settle, I’m going to tell you a bit about myself. I was born in London, but raised in the U.S.. My grandfather wanted me to be safe because he didn’t want my parents death to be for nothing. Umm a few years ago I found out everything. My grandfather asked me to come to England for seventh year, but I soon found out after I got here he had died and you sort of know the rest. Any questions.”

“Who was you grandfather?” A boy with longish black hair said from the back.

“Albus Dumbledore.” Brittany said the whole class was surprised except for those who already knew.

“No wonder you’re so powerful.” The kid said.

“By the way, what is your name and what year and house?” Brittany asked.

“Gabriel Berrymore, 7th year, Ravenclaw.” He said.

“Ok, anymore questions?”

“I have one.” A guy with sleek blond hair and a grin on his face. She already knew him, but was going to let him ask the question.

“First tell me your name, year, and house.” She said about to laugh.

“Draco Malfoy, 7th year, and Slytherin.”

“Ok Mr. Malfoy what be your question?”

“This is going to be funny. I just have a feeling.” Ron said and Harry nodded.

“Ok, well we all know about your past and everything, but what about your love life. You didn’t bring any guy up in your explanation and well almost all the guys are wondering if you’re Amish, or bi, straight, lez. Which is it? Or do you have a boyfriend?” Draco finished and half the class started laughing.

“You should know all about being gay wouldn’t you Draco.” Brittany said and the whole class almost started laughing. The door clicked, Brittany had locked the door.

“Most likely, but you never answered the question.” Draco said moving closer and Brittany wasn’t moving.

“Someone bet him to go in front of the class and kiss Brittany.” Ron said to the confused Hermione and Ginny.

“Why don’t you find out?” Brittany said. Draco was close enough and everyone was waiting. Most of the whole class bet against this. Half said he would and the other said he wouldn’t. “I know about the bet.” Brittany whispered in his ear. He then kissed her. It was a very passionate kiss and they didn’t know why. They let go after a couple of min. to an astonished class.

“You should never bet if you don’t know all the facts.” Draco smirked.

“That’s cruel Draco. Anyway what did you bet?” Brittany asked grabbing her wand so she could actually start class.

“We bet money.” Draco said collecting a galleon from each of the ones who said he wouldn’t. When he was finished collecting Brittany waved her wand and all of the galleons went to her.

“That isn’t very nice.” She said. “Now that that is over. Lets move on. What do you think is important to learn this year?” The whole class shot up there hands. Sp she went row by row. Most of them said patronuses others said that electricity thing you did last night and one said magical frequencies.

“Since a lot of you said you wanted to learn the Patronus Charm I’ll teach it to you. Everyone repeat after me ‘Expecto Patronum’” The whol class repeated, “Good, now you to think of a very happy memory. Did you all think of one?” The class nodded, “Now that you have I’ll demonstrate.” They all looked at her. All of a sudden a dementor appeared.

“Expecto Patrnum!” Brittany said and the dementor fled to the other side of the room. Where Brittany got rid of it.

“Does that look easy!” She asked the class and they all nodded. “Why don’t you try. The rest of you get in a line.” Almost the whole class tried and fail, except for a select few. There names were Ginny, Draco, Hermione, Ron, and Harry.

“That was good for a first try. I must say class is almost over. I would like you to write a one page essay on a ‘How it Felt and what were the complications of going up against a dementor. The essay is due the next time I see you which is in two days. ” Brittany said as the bell rang for them to go to there next class.

“I like that class!” Ron said. “We have advantages in this class. I actually might pass.”

“I agree Ron, but what if it gets harder and you can’t handle it. She has already given us homework.” Hermione

“The homework isn’t that bad Hermione. It is relatively easy. Even I can do it without any problems.” Harry said, walking down to the dungeons. When they got there it looked exactly the same as last year. Harry was hoping that he could go get the Prince’s book again, but was afraid of what Hermione would say.

“Hey, how do you think I did?” Brittany asked coming up to them.

“I think you did good and the beginning of class was funny. You should have seen Pansy’s face. She looked angry.” Ron said with a laugh.

“Pansy…. Pansy… No haven’t met her yet.” Brittany said thinking of who that might be.

“That’s her right there talking to Draco. She’s liked him since forever. Oo, she looks mad and here comes lover boy.” Hermione said with a laugh as Brittany punched her arm lightly.

“Hey, Brit. Come sit with me in class.” Draco said.

“Doesn’t Pansy. That’s her name right,” Brittany asked and they nodded, “Yea, Pansy want to sit next to you. I don’t want to get into your hmm… I mean her obsession.” Brittany said as Pansy walked by and stood next to Draco. They all laughed, but Draco.

“Oh look it’s the mudblood and the blood traitors.” Pansy said and they all looked at her.

“What did you call them.” Brittany said and Draco looked at Brittany.

“Aren’t you a Syltherin. Why are you friends with them.” Pansy said, “They aren’t like us purebloods who follow the order of the dark lord.”

“You shouldn’t have brought him up Pansy.” Draco said hoping Brittany wouldn’t take any of this offensive.

“Hmm, your in league with Tom Riddle. Or should I say Voldmort?” They all flinched, “Did you not here me in class when I said who I was related to?” Brittany said getting angry. It was because of Voldmort that her grandfather, Dumbledore, was dead.

“No, why should I care. You’re a pureblood that’s all that matters and the fact that you in Slytherin.”

“Well you should’ve listened because Albus Dumbledore was my grandfather and over the summer Voldmort has become an enemy to me and my friends. I am not a pureblood either. You can back off if you want to insult my friends and Draco you must have been the cruelest person in the world.” Brittany stated and walked into class with Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

“You really didn’t have to stand up for us.” Hermione said, “We’re used to it. Though I really think they should get points taken off.”

“So do I, they’re going to have an attitude change when I take points of my own house.” Brittany said sitting next to Harry in the row of four. Professor Slughorn had just come in.

“This year will basically be the same as last year. For the first month we will be making the polyjuice potion. Now if everyone will get out there cauldrons and begin for the first half of class and the second half I will tell you what we will be doing with it. So please begin and Miss. Marshall can you come here for a minute.

“This is going to be easy!” Hermione said and Harry and Ron nodded. “I wonder what they are talking about.” They all began getting the supplies ready when Brittany came back smiling.

“What did he want?” Harry asked.

“Something about the Slug Club and it had to do with my class. Nothing any of use need to worry about.” Brittany said.

“Aren’t you going to open up your book?” Ron asked looking at her book that was still closed. After he said that her book opened to the page and began with what she needed to do. She then started jotting down notes. Things that the Prince’s book had.

“What are you doing?” Harry asked and Hermione was thinking the same thing.

“I’m writing down short- cuts. Why?” Brittany said.“Never mind.” Harry said and went to his work as did the others.

When the first half of class was almost over Brittany noticed that the trio was looking at her cauldron and it looked the same as theirs.

“Yes?” Brittany asked.

“It looks the same and you used all those sort- cuts.” Ron said.

“So what.” Brittany said and went back to work. Soon enough so did they. By the time first half was over they were all starving. They left there stuff there and walked out of the dungeons to the great hall.
When they got there Brittany went her separate way to her own table and started eating before anyone else. When Draco sat next to her she felt like leaving.

“I’ll be right back.” Brittany said to him and walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Hermione. “Hello all!”

“Aren’t you supposed to sit at the Syltherin table?” Ron asked.

“Oh I am. Just wanted to get up and see something.” Brittany said and looked over at the table and sure enough she was right. Pansy had sat next to Draco. “Well, I should be getting back to my table,” And she left.

“Hmm…. Wonder what that was about?” Harry said looking over at the Slytherin table. He finally understood and so did the others. They all laughed wondering what Pansy must be saying.

“I have extendable ears.” Ron said pulling them out of his pocket and handing one to each of them. They went over to the Slytherin table.

“I’m sorry for being a jerk earlier.” Pansy said.
“It’s fine. I guess.” Brittany said. “Where did Draco go?”
“He went over there.” Pansy said, “You know me and Draco are going out.” They heard someone spit something out.
“What?” Brittany said. She was practically choking.
“Yeah, didn’t he tell you that.” Pansy said.
“No, no he didn’t.” Brittany said. She sounded angry. The three of them knew that wasn’t true. Now Draco came back.
“Brit, what’s wrong?” Draco asked.
“You have a girlfriend.” Brittany said. She sounded angry. “Who are they?”
“Oh, this is Crab and Goyle. Yea, I do. It’s you.” Draco said. He sounded really confused.
“Then why did Pansy say you were her boyfriend.” Brittany said. Now Harry, Hermione, and Ron were looking at the Slytherin table to see what happens.
“I’m not Pansy’s boyfriend.” Draco said mad at Pansy for saying that. “I’ll see you later.” Brittany said and walked out of the great hall. Draco went running after her. Crab, Goyle, and Pansy close behind.

“Come on! This is getting interesting.” Ron said.
“I’m going to see if she is alright or should I say need anyone.” Hermione said following them. They went all the way to Brittany’s office. Which was in the DADA room. They pulled out the ears again to only here arguments. So they went in to see Brittany sitting in a chair not saying anything for some reason.

“What are you three doing here?” Goyle asked.

“Brittany asked us to come here. Why do you care?” Harry said.

“Yes, I do have a meeting with them. Can you all leave, but Draco?” Brittany asked, but they weren’t about to listen to her.

“Why do we have to go?” Pansy asked.

“30 points from Slytherin for not listening to me.” Brittany said. She looked mad. She was tired of people not listening to her.

“What?” Pansy said, “You are in Slytherin. Why would you take points away from your own house?” She said outraged.

“Still not listening, but I already took away points. I don’t care what house I’m in. I will take points away from my own house if they deserve it.nThis meeting is very important so can you please leave.” Brittany said and they finally left.

“Why did you take 30 points away though?” Draco asked looking at her.

“For this morning and for not listening to me. I wasn’t joking about anything. I really don’t care what house I’m in.” Brittany said, “Thanks for coming when you did. They were really getting on my nerves.”

“You have to admit. You’re a bit like them.” Harry said. They all knew he had a point. Even Brittany did, but she was in school and she always acted serious.

“Professor McGonagall told me to tell you that you have quidditch try-outs next Saturday.” Brittany said. “Our try-outs are this Saturday Draco.”

“Okay, we should head to class. It should be starting soon.” Hermione said and they all left except for Brittany. Who needed to get something.

When they got to class they were the first ones there. Then a flood of students came and got to work. Until Professor Slughorn stated to speak.

“Okay, now that everyone is settled I will tell you why you are making this potion. It is for you DADA class next month. Your DADA teacher will tell you the rest at class whenever you have her again. Now get back to work.” Slughorn said as he began to walk around. He stopped at the table where Harry was and was happy to see that all of them were getting it right. “Harry, me boy, you have got you potions making skills back. Very good, very good.” Then he moved on.

By the end of class the room smelled odd. It smelled like old socks and cabbage.

“Everyone start packing up.” Slughorn said. A couple minutes later the bell rang. Some had classes to go to others didn’t.

“Hey Brittany, do you have any classes right now?” Harry asked. He wanted to know if she could help him with something.

“No, I have free period. Why?” Brittany said looking at him.

“I need your help with something. Personal.” Harry said. She knew it must be important. So they walked to the DADA room.

“What is it?” Brittany asked.

“You know the horucruxes.” He asked and she nodded. “Wait I shouldn’t be asking you this.”
“Don’t worry Harry the pact was broken when he attacked me.” Brittany said. Harry now looked happier that she can help with the quest of finding them.

“In that case. Do you know where any of them are or have any assumption?” Harry asked hoping she did. He really needed a clue.

“I have my assumptions, but I’m not 100% percent on all of them.” Brittany said. Harry looked really happy. “Why? When do you plan on starting to look for them.” Brittany said getting up and walking around the room looking for something.

“After Christmas.” Harry said, “I think I should start planning. What are you looking for?”

“Do you plan on coming to school after Christmas. I’m looking for file I need.
” Brittany said hoping he would because she wanted to help as much as she could, with the Voldmort situation.

“I don’t know.” Harry said, “Do you think I should and just get permission to leave the castle.” Brittany nodded. “I guess I could do that. Well, that was it.” They both left and went to their own common rooms.

When Harry got into the common room it was very quiet. Almost all the seventh years had free period and they were all doing their homework that Brittany gave them. So, Harry got out a piece of parchment and his quill and ink and started to write.

Everyone took at least 20 min. and when they were done so was Harry. ‘That was easy,’ Harry thought, ‘I wonder if all the other homework will be this easy.’ Until dinner they talked and played some wizards chess.

When it was time to go to supper Ginny rushed out of the common room holding a letter.
“I wonder who the letter is from?” Harry asked Ron. Ron just nodded and walked down with them.

When they got there Brittany and Ginny were jumping up and down. Obviously happy about something. “I thought he forgot about me.” Ginny said. They had finally stopped jumping.

“He didn’t. He was just really busy over the rest of the summer.” Brittany said. “Well, I’m really hungry. Can I go eat?” Brittany asked her smiling.

Ginny finally let go and walked over to the Gryffindor table and didn’t say much, but had a big smile on her face.

Two weeks had past and it was time for the Gryffindor try-outs. When Harry awoke that morning excited about being able to ride his broom again. He decided he would go down to the pitch early, even though try-outs aren’t until 11 a.m..

When he got down to breakfast he was surprised to see one of his teachers up this early. She was sitting at the Slytherin table stirring her cereal looking upset. “Hey, Brit.” Harry said. She looked over and smiled.

“What are you doing up so early?” Brittany asked coming over to the Gryffindor table.

“Going down to the pitch early.” Harry said and smiled.

“Oh, mind if I come. I haven’t ridden on my broom since try-outs.” Brittany said.

“No, did you make the team?” Harry asked hoping she would say ‘no’.

“Yeah, I did. Is that going to be a problem?” Brittany asked.

“No, as long as you not steal my tactics.” Harry said wondering what position she would be playing.

“I won’t. I promise.” Brittany said getting up. They both got their brooms and met in the great hall. By that time some more kids were getting up. They were almost to the pitch when Harry asked, “What position do you play?”

“Seeker.” She said happy. Harry stopped right in front of Brittany and she accidentally fell on top of him.

“I thought Draco was seeker.” Harry said getting up of the ground. Harry then proceeded to help her up.

“He was, but he always wanted to play chaser and he found out he is much better at it.” Brittany said walking alongside Harry.


“Oh,” Harry said. They both got to the pitch and mounted there brooms. They both did a few laps to see who was faster, but it soon turned into a race. “Brittany, can’t you go faster than that?” Harry asked and sped off. Brittany was soon faster and caught up. After about 10 laps they both stopped and agreed on getting out the snitch.

Harry was confident that he could win in this. Seeing as he has been playing seeker longer. He was correct, Brittany almost caught it a few times, but Brittany was good. Both of them didn’t notice that the people trying out for the Gryffindor team were there, watching them. When they did notice it was because someone was now cheering for Harry, but Harry got distracted and Brittany caught it. “Ha, I finally caught it!” Brittany said happy with herself.

“I have to ask, were you holding back?” Harry asked knowing full well that she could play better if she put her mind to it.Brittany hesitated to answer, “No I wasn’t holding back. I should leave you to your try-outs.” She said and walked out off the pitch. She went back to the Slytherin common room to grade some papers that she had to grade.

Back on the pitch Harry had everyone trying out do ten laps. Half of the people were having much difficulty with it and gave up. Those who made it through the laps stayed. “Ok, everyone trying out for beater go to Ginny those who are trying out for chaser stay with me. Ginny took the people trying out for beater to the other end of the pitch and started the try-out.

“Ron get ready.” Harry said, “ Ok all of you get in a group of three. Okay, first group go.” He did this for awhile until he found the two he needed. It seemed the beaters were done because they were coming back over here. Harry had seen the two beaters and he agreed with Ginny after a few showed him what they can do. By the time they went back in it was 3 p.m.. The rest of the night Harry was deciding on who.

By the time it was time for dinner Harry had agreed on who will be on the team. “Everyone I will say the team for this year. Chasers, Ginny Weasley, Lavender Brown, and Howl McCormick Beaters will be Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnegan, and of course the Keeper is Ron Wealsey and the Seeker is me.” Harry said and went to his friends that were waiting near the Portrait hole to go to dinner.

“That one kids name is long.” Ron complained, “Can you just imagine them saying it over the loud speaker.” Ron said mimicking Harry when he said the name.

“Hey,” Ginny said coming up to them, giving a Harry a hug. “Did you here Brittany’s the seeker for the Slytherin team.”

“No,” Hermione and Ron said, they all looked at Harry.

“I did, I didn’t think it really mattered. She wasn’t even that good.” Harry said looking over at Ginny.

“Harry, did you see her play.” Ginny said shocked, “She can give you a run for you money.”

“But when we played she wasn’t that good.” Harry said. Ginny started pulling him fast.

“Where are we going?” Harry asked.

“To show you.” Ginny said, Hermione and Ron close behind. When they got to the pitch they saw Brittany practicing with Draco. She was playing a lot better than she was before.

“I can’t believe it!” Harry barked and walked back up to the castle. He was obviously going to have to train harder if the wanted to get the house cup.
