Harry Potter - Series Fan Fiction ❯ The Bandit Killer Strikes Back! ❯ Rescue! Padfoot and Moony Arrive ( Chapter 3 )

The Bandit Killer Strikes Back! Beta:None AN:I know it has been quite a while since I updated this. I went back and made some minor changes and additions and did some editing. I actually can’t remember where I was going with this but I will try and get it back on track. Hopefully you enjoy this update. Chapter 3: Rescue! Padfoot and Moony Arrive When he awoke he knew something was wrong. There was a sense of dread filling the air. It was setting him on edge. He just hoped that Remus and Sirius showed up soon. Getting dressed Harry strained his ears trying to hear any movement within the house. He could hear soft shuffling, too soft to be Vernon or Dudley. Tiptoeing quietly over to his door he listened for a moment before opening it a crack and peeking out through the small opening. What he saw made his blood boil. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t do magic outside of Hogwarts he would have certainly made Vernon suffer. His Aunt was slowly shuffling into the bathroom; she was holding her ribs and had tear tracks running down her cheeks. There was darker bruising along her cheek and jaw and what looked suspiciously like blood running down her legs. He must have made some sort of noise because she whipped towards him with a look he hadn’t seen on her face in quite a while; fear. She shook her head and mouthed for him to go back to bed until she came to get him. Nodding, even if he would rather have helped tend her wounds, he went back into his bedroom to sit and think. Before he realized it he had fallen asleep sitting at his desk. %%Dream Sequence%% “You’re back early. Something happen?” Lina questioned causing Harry to spin around to face her. Nodding he explained to her what was happening. “When this man leaves for work use Healing on your Aunt. It won’t be detected by this Ministry. As it is something that can’t be detected by normal methods that they use. I’ve had a lot of time to look into the way they keep track of these things.” Lina told him. “Of course! Why didn’t I think of that? Does this mean I can send a fireball Vernon’s way?” he asked her, rather innocently. Laughing she replied “No Harry, you can’t. At least not until you, your aunt and cousin are out of the house.” She said with all seriousness. “Yes!” Smiling with mirth she thought ‘he is definitely my many times over great grandson and more like me than even his mom’ “Would you like to learn some more or did you just need someone to talk to?” “Can we practice some? I need a way to get rid of this stress otherwise I might just fireball that fat oaf anyways” Nodding Lina began to teach him some of the more offensive speels in a sorcerer’s arsenal. Balus Rod, Blast Wave, Disfang, Dolph Strash, Dolph Zork, Dynast Brass, Dynast Breath, Gaav Flare, and Zelas Brid to name a few. She knew that while some, like the Gaav Flare, would no longer work on the mortal plane it was a good way for Harry to be knowledgeable about the different Mazoku that powered spells and why certain spells no longer worked. Once he had a basic knowledge of the spells she had him sit down and rest. “Harry I told you before that I mostly used Black Magic, and while true I did not limit myself to just Black Magic. Black magic was just the strongest in my arsenal. I did use Shamistic and White/Holy Magicks as well. I will teach them to you as they are great for offense and defense and it is important to be well rounded even if I wasn’t as well rounded as I should have been.” Nodding that he understood they sat for some time in a comfortable silence. “It’s time for you to go again. I’ll see you soon.” And he was gone. %%End Dream Sequence%% Waking up with a stiff neck Harry listened for any sounds around him. Not hearing anything he stood and walked silently over to his door, opening it a tiny crack before opening it fully and walking out. He walked down the stairs and into the living room where his Aunt sat on the couch. Kneeling in front of her he tried to get her attention. “Aunt Petunia. Are you okay?” not receiving a response he tried again. “Aunt Petunia? You okay?” Still no response. He whipped around when he heard thunderous steps coming towards the living room. “Mum! I…Mum whathappened?!?” Dudley asked, a note of worry in his voice. Turning to Harry he glared at him. “Did you do this?” “No. She won’t respond to me either Dudley.” He answered before turning back to his Aunt. “Aunt Petunia? I’m gonna try and heal you okay?” still receiving no response Harry continued. He sat next to her before concentrating and then beginning the mantra to heal his Aunt. “Oh, blessed and humble hand of God, life and breath of Mother Earth, come before me and show your great compassion and deliver us: RECOVERY!” He watched in fascination as his hands glowed briefly and the bruising on his Aunt’s cheek faded. It also seemed to snap her out of whatever daze she was in. “Harry?” she asked looking at him worriedly. “Won’t you get in trouble for using magic outside of school?” she asked. “Normally, yeah. But this isn’t something they teach in school as I don’t need my wand for this type of magic. I’ll explain later for now why don’t I make some tea? Sirius and Professor Lupin should be here sometime soon.” He said standing and heading for the kitchen, dragging his cousin along with him. “Dudley, go upstairs and start packing. You, Aunt Petunia and me will be leaving today as soon as Sirius and Remus get here. Or shortly thereafter.” He said, getting a nod he watched Dudley rush upstairs to begin packing. He put the kettle on to boil and waited. Once that was done he made the tea and brought it in to his aunt, settling the tray on the small table and handing his aunt her cup, doctored just the way she liked it. “Aunt Petunia? What happened last night?” “Vernon was none too pleased with me. I told him I was done living in fear of him and that if he didn’t stop I was going to report him. He…”she paused to take a deep breath “He decided I needed a reminder of who was in charge. It just made me want to leave him more” She told Harry who was ready to explode. He would kill that fat asshole! Taking a deep breath he said “Remus and Sirius are coming over today. They said they had something to tell me and that they would help all three of us get out of here.” “Thank You Harry” Before Harry could tell her she didn’t need to thank him there was a knock at the door and some muffled barking. Standing up he had a good idea who was at the door. “Snuffles! Professor Lupin. Come In. We are in the living room.” He said after being mauled by a very excitable Snuffles and greeted with soft chuckles from his former professor. “Harry, I’ no longer your professor, you needn’t call me professor. Remus is fine.” “I know but then Hermione would be on MY case about addressing teachers properly.” He said with a small laugh. Once they were in the living room his Aunt stood up and greeted them. “Remus. Sirius. How are the both of you? Harry pull the curtains please. No need to have the neighbors gossiping or calling Scotland Yard.” Nodding he did so. He had almost forgotten about Sirius being wanted in the mundane world as well as the Magical one. Once they were all settled and Remus and Sirius were filled in on everything they began to discuss options and what they needed to tell Harry. “Harry, I know that what we are about to tell you may be shocking but you must understand that we would have told you before now if we’d had the chance to actually be alone with you.” Sirius said before motioning for remus to continue/ “Do not trust Dumbledore Harry. He is not the grandfatherly man that he portrays himself to be.” “I figured that one out already. I also suspect that Ron and Ginny are being paid to keep an eye on me as well.” Harry interrupted before telling them his suspicions. “It is possible. Do you suspect Hermione as well?” Remus questioned. “No. I do suspect Ron is trying to slip her a love potion though. There are things that just don’t add up when it comes to Ron and Ginny. As for the rest of the Wealey’s I don’t think Gred and Forge are in on it and I don’t really know Bill or Charlie that well to suspect anything about them. It may be the reason Percy cut ties with them though. It would certainly explain his behavior towards them.” He told them. Nodding Remus continued, “Harry did you know that your mum and dad were neutral for a long time until suddenly they decided to join Dumbledore? It’s why Sirius went to stay with your dad when he had a falling out with his family. We suspect Dumbledore may have played a part in that. We also suspect he plays a part in keeping your mate and heritage from you as well as our mate from us.” “I know. Mum left me a letter that explained some things. Things about my ancestors and the kind of magic they wielded.” Harry told them. For the next hour they talked about things and how they planned on getting Harry, Petunia, and Dudley away from Vernon. Remus went upstairs and helped Dudley to pack and then helped Petunia while Harry and Sirius talked about where they would go and about some of the intricacies of Wizarding Laws. “Harry, legally you are an adult at 15 as you are the last and only heir to an Ancient and Noble house. We need to get you to Gringotts so that you can assess your accounts…” Sirius told him. “Mum said something about her and dad’s wills being at Gringotts an told me who I needed to see to get those wills read.” Harry interrupted him. Smiling Sirius told him that they would need to find a way to get Harry passed the order members that would no doubt be stationed in Diagon Alley. As they were talking they heard a car pull nito the drive. Looking at the clock Harry paled. Vernon should have been home an hour ago and if that was him than he was probably drunk. “Shit that’s Vernon’s car! Remus! He’s here!” Harry exclaimed before quickly grabbing everything from Remus, who had shrunk all of their belongings for them. As they stood in the living room waiting for the walrus of a man to enter they heard something that had the three wizards paling; Apparition. The wards had fallen! Vernon bust into the door his face red and yet plaing at the same time. They managed to catch a glimpse of the swarm of Death Eater’s behind him before Remus and Sirius grabbed them and Vernon’s shocked face as he watched them disappear, taking Petunia and Dudley with them. They wouldn’t find out what happened until the next morning when it was splashed all over the Daily Prophet. TBC… Okay that’s this chapter done. Hope you all enjoyed it and that I did a good job. Any ideas for the articles in the Daily Prophet would be welcomed. Headline and the actual article would be appreciated as I SUCK at anything news related. Feel Free to review, Comment and Criticize!
