InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Harry Potter with Inuyasha and the Lost Kingdom ❯ The Unexpected Visitor ( Chapter 17 )

The Unexpected Visitor

 

 

Jhanie woke up three days later. She felt nauseas and had the worst taste in her mouth. She sat up, there was flowers on the end table next to her bed. Carnations, Jhanie's third favorite flower. There was a note stuck to the bouquet. She detached it from the bouquet and read it.

 

“Dear Jhanie,

We miss you and we're soooooo bored without you. Get better soon. Sorry we couldn't get roses or orchids for you. We couldn't find nice ones. Hope your well enough to still play Quidditch. The team wouldn't be the same without you. And besides, why should we be tortured with Snape's lectures while your in the hospital wing relaxing? We wanted to explain everything in this note but we decided not to. Just incase this got into the wrong hands. By the way, Merry Christmas!!!!! (if you wake up in time for it)

Love,

Aease, Lyra, Sesshy, Kags, Ron, Hermione, InuYasha, Miroku, Sango, Fred and George ( that is… if you haven't gotten amnesia and forgotten us all)

P.S. (From Lyra and Aease) What did you do to Malfoy? He was seen limping after you and Harry left. And he couldn't even dance or walk. Even Pansy Parkinson left him and decided to dance with Goyle! What you do????”

Jhanie laughed, I guess seeing him after her and Harry left kind of gave it away. Oh my gosh! Harry! She remembered. Suddenly the events of the night of the Christmas Ball washed over her. She remembered her getting ready, the corsage, Harry, Hermione and Ron, (who could forget that?) InuYasha and Sesshy bickering over who could slow dance better, her jewel glowing, Harry's scar burning, kicking Malfoy, and Voldemort and Kikyo. Or should she say, “Voldie.” Jhanie shivered at the thought. She couldn't remember what happened after that.

“Have a good three day sleep?” a voice asked. Jhanie jumped and turned her head. “Harry!' she exclaimed. He was standing next to her bed. She threw her arms around him and gave him a huge hug. Harry hugged her back tightly. “Nice to see you too” he said happily.

“Ahem” said a voice from behind them. “Awww, look at the two love birds” said another voice. Harry let go of Jhanie as she turned around to see who it was. “Aease!” Jhanie screamed. Aease came running to her followed by Kags, Lyra, Hermione, and Sango. They all gathered together in one big group hug.

“Alright everyone, clear out. You don't want her suffocate her” Sesshy said. “You alright sis?” asked InuYasha as he sat next to her on the bed. Jhanie was in between Harry and InuYasha and was glad. She didn't want InuYasha strangling Harry. She knew that after they found her unconscious InuYasha would blame everything on him.

“Do you remember what happened the night of the ball?” asked Sango. “I think I remember some of it” Jhanie replied. “Tell us everything you remember” George said.

Jhanie started off with describing how they all got ready for the ball. Then she skipped to the actual ball and told them what she remembered about her jewel glowing and Harry's scar burning. How they ran up to the Gryffindor Common room an encountered Kikyo and Voldermort.

“… that's all I remember” Jhanie finished. “Who wants to explain what happened after they encountered Voldermort?” asked Sesshy. They all looked at Harry. “You were there with her. You know what happened better than any of us do” Hermione said. Harry took a deep breath. He explained how Voldermort was about to cast Avada Kadavra on Jhanie and how Harry jumped in front of her. “I'm not sure about the rest,” Harry said. “It was like a force field protecting us from the Avada Kadavra spell. Then Dumbledore came in and Kikyo and Voldermort disappeared.'

“The force field?” asked Jhanie confused. “You mean the one that only I can use? The only one that blocks magic? The one that could drain all my strength?”

“Yeah” Aease said. “Then how come I'm not dead?” Jhanie asked. InuYasha looked at her with curiosity. “Not that I'm not happy to be alive” Jhanie added quickly, “but wouldn't it have drained all my strength and power?” “That's what we're trying to figure out,” said Sesshy. “The only logical explanation is that since your part witch, blocking magic wouldn't be as difficult. But you're lucky you're alive.”

 

 

There was a long silence until Madame Pomfrey came and shooed them all away. She said that with any luck Harry and Jhanie would be out in two days.

Jhanie sat on her bed staring at the floor. How could have she been so stupid? She could have killed herself. But she saved Harry, and herself. She promised herself she would never do anything like that ever again unless it was necessary. “I owe you my life” Harry said quietly. It was the first time he had to say that to anyone. Normally people were telling him that. Jhanie put her hand on Harry's shoulder. “Hey” she said, “you don't owe me anything. You jumped in front of me and tried to save my life. I blocked the spell from hitting you. A life for a life. We're even.”

Harry smiled, “What?” asked Jhanie. “How did I end up with the smartest girlfriend in Hogwarts?” he said. “Smartest?” laughed Jhanie. “Yeah right. Are you forgetting about Hermione?” “I guess so. Did you know Ron's like in love with her?” asked Harry. “Uh, no duh! Its so ah-bvious” Jhanie replied. “Seeing them together is making me gag,” Harry said. “Yeah, I saw you choking on your punch” replied Jhanie. “And you didn't come and save me?” demanded Harry astonished. “How many times can a girl save you?” teased Jhanie. “Ha ha, very funny” Harry replied. “I try” Jhanie said.

Madame Pomfrey kept her word and in two days Harry and Jhanie were out of the hospital wing. At first they were both really happy to see everyone. That is, until they came across Potions first period.

“Today we will be learning…” Snape said in his weird funky nasal voice. “Yeah, yeah,” Ron said. “He can teach us how to brew polyjuice potions, and elixirs. We know, can't he teach us something useful for once?” “Like what?” asked Harry curiously. “Like… I don't know. Like how to score with hot babes or something” Ron replied. “I think we're doing better than Snape in that department” Harry said.

“What are they talking about?” Hermione asked Lyra. Lyra had ears like a bat's. One of her specialties was that she could hear important things miles away. “They want to know why Snape can't teach us something useful” Lyra snickered. “Like what?” asked Kags. “Like how to score with hot babes” Lyra replied. They all broke into a fit of laughter. Snape turned his attention to the laughing girls. “Is there something wrong?” he demanded. “I dare you to ask Snape why he doesn't give the boys a crash course on how to score with hot babes” Aease whispered to Jhanie. Jhanie, who would never turn down a dare asked, “We we're wondering if you would ever consider giving the boys a crash course on how to score with hot babes.” Jhanie turned to look at Malfoy, “Some of them really need it,” she added. The class broke into a fit of laughter. Snape ended class on the most unusual note. He gave them no homework.

“Hm, why do you think Snape didn't give us any homework? It's the second Monday after winter break. I'd think he'd really pile it up on us,” Miroku said.

“Well maybe he was too stunned by what Jhanie said. A crash course on hot babes? Where did you get that from?” InuYasha asked.

What Jhanie had said in Potions was traveling around the school. Everyone seemed to be teasing Malfoy on how Jhanie turned to look at him before she added that some boys really needed a crash course.

“You should be careful on what you say,” Sesshy said sternly. “I'm surprised Snape didn't give you a detention.”

“Well, we still don't know why Snape didn't give us any homework,” Lyra said.

“Maybe its because he hasn't gotten married yet and was thinking about getting a girl. That's probably why he's so bitter, he's got no one,” Kagome suggested.

“Ha! Like Snape could ever get a girl,” Harry said.

“Well maybe if he'd consider washing that greasy pile of whatever on his head more than twice a year and getting some Botox then maybe, just maybe Professor Umbridge might consider asking him out,” Aease snickered.

“Come to think of it, are any of the professors here married?” asked Jhanie.

“No, I wonder if Dumbledore was ever married” Harry wondered loudly.

“I bet him and McGonagall are going out,” Miroku said.

“Ewwwwwwww… that's just gross,” Sango replied in disgust.

“Harry, do we have Quidditch practice today?” asked Fred from behind.

“Whoa, where did you come from?” asked Ron.

“Oh, well little Ronny, when a girl and boy really like each other they-”

“Okay, I get it,” Ron replied.

“So Quidditch?” asked Fred.

“Come after lunch,” Harry replied.

They entered DADA. “Good morning class!” Professor Umbridge said in a unusually high pitched voice. “Good morning Professor Umbridge” the class echoed. “Glad to see that Mr. Potter and Ms. Mitzubashi here have made a speedy recovery,” she said sweetly. “But they'll be having a lot to make up. I hope neither of you will be doing anything that could distract you from your work such as playing Quidditch.”

“Well actually,” Jhanie started. Professor Umbridge gave her a look that made her shudder. “Just for three days sweety, on Thursday you can go back to your normal schedule and start practice.”

“But the next Quidditch match is only in a week and I'm the captain,” Harry said. “Well what is more important? Your school work, or playing Quidditch? Now if I find you playing Quidditch before Thursday then I will remove you permanently from the team.”

The class broke into whispers. Some saying “can she do that?” and others saying, “we are so going to lose the Quidditch match”. “And maybe if you get your work done early then you can start practice on Wednesday” Professor Umbridge said. “Now turn to page 418…”

“That bitch, who is she to tell us whether or not we can play Quidditch. I swear this school is going to be having a new DADA teacher by next year,” Jhanie said.

“Now Jhanie don't go and do anything drastic,” George said. “Harry, do you have a plan for the Quidditch game?”

“I sketched it at the hospital wing when Madame Pomfrey wouldn't let me do anything,” Harry said as he handed George some parchment. George took sometime to analyze it. Finally he smiled, “excellent,” he said. “Don't worry Harry, I'll take over Quidditch practice for the next couple of days.”

The Quidditch team was relieved that someone was taking Harry's place while he was gone. At least now they would be able to practice what they hoped would be the main plan for the next Quidditch match.

While the Quidditch team was practicing and Hermione, Kagome, and Aease were watching, Jhanie and Harry were left to work by themselves. “Where's Hermione when we need her?” asked Harry trying to do the four page essay for DADA that was assigned a week ago. All their teachers had been grateful that they were okay and decided not to trouble them anymore. Even Snape was being nicer than Professor Umbridge.

“I really don't like her,” Jhanie mumbled.

“Yeah I know what you mean,” Harry said.

“Are you okay?” asked Jhanie.

“Just a bit, bothered, I guess,” Harry said.

“Well, we're going to be okay. Gryffindor's got a great team and I'm sure George is doing okay with your game plan,” Jhanie assured.

“It's not that,”

“Then what is it?”

“How could it be that Voldemort could get into Hogwarts?”

“That's what I've been trying to figure out. Isn't it that Dumbledore is the only wizard he fears most?”

“Yeah,”

“Then why would he even try to get on the grounds?”

“Well he had back up. And Kikyo's not afraid of Dumbledore.”

“But Dumbledore could destroy her quickly, Voldemort knows that.”

“Yes but Kikyo doesn't know that does she?”

“Well if she did she wouldn't have come.”

“True. But why would Voldemort bring her?”

Jhanie thought for a moment. “Voldemort thought that Kikyo would be a good distraction and Dumbledore could have killed her off first while Voldemort escaped… or so he could kill Dumbledore himself”

“Why would Voldemort risk Kikyo's life? He supposedly “loves” her.”

“A: Kikyo has no life so there's nothing to risk. And B: Could you picture Voldemort loving anybody?”

Harry looked at the clock, “you're probably right. But I want to get this work for DADA done so we'll talk about this with everyone after dinner.”

“Sounds good” Jhanie agreed.

“What took you guys so long?” Hermione asked.

“Umbridge,” Harry replied.

“So, we've been wondering, why would Voldemort come here? What's he looking for this time?” Jhanie said.

“Well, there's probably something valuable he either needs to leave in Hogwarts, or, he needs to get. It would be very illogical to come to the school to try and kill Harry. There's too much protection,” Aease said.

“But he has Kikyo to use as a distraction. And who knows how many other death eaters he has,” Ron said.

“I'm going with Aease, Voldemort isn't stupid. He's evil, but not stupid, he knows he could never kill Harry here. I think he wanted to take or leave something,” Hermione said.

“He must have known about the ball. Everyone would be at the great hall. He knows all the ways into the school. He's explored this place when he went here,” InuYasha said.

“But what would he leave or take?” asked Sesshy.

“Hagrid once told me that the safest places in the wizarding world are here and Gringotts,” Harry said. “There could be loads of things hidden here that he would want to take to help him gain more power. Or since it's the safest place, the best place to keep something.”

“Should we tell Dumbledore about this?” asked Miroku.

“I bet he could help us figure out what he wanted to take or leave. After all, he knows Voldemort the most. Even Voldemort's most trusted death eater doesn't know about Voldemort more than Dumbledore does,” Sango said.

“Which could probably be why Voldemort fears Dumbledore so much,” Kagome said.

“So when do we tell Dumbledore?” asked Lyra.

“If he's free, we can go after dinner,” Harry replied.

 

 

“Chocolate Frogs,” Harry told the gargoyle at the front of Dumbledore's study.

It moved to the side and they all climbed upstairs. Once they reached the top Harry knocked on the door. “Come in,” Dumbledore croaked.

“Professor?” Harry said.

“Oh, hello Harry, Jhanie, Ron, Hermione, InuYasha, Sesshomaru, Miroku, Sango, Lyra, Aease, Kagome, Fred, George,” he said.

“Professor, we'd like to talk to you about-” Jhanie started.

“Albus,” Snape said as he walked into the study, followed by the rest of the teachers; including, unfortunately, Umbridge.

They all stopped when they saw eleven students sitting in his office. “Hi!” Jhanie waved at Snape. Snape just glared at Jhanie while InuYasha elbowed her in the ribs. “Don't push it,” he whispered in her ear.

“What brings you all here?” asked McGonagall.

“They have all come to talk about what happened with Voldemort,” Dumbledore said. “And while they are here already I suggest we discuss this, together. Please, take a seat.” He waved his wand and six more seats appeared.

“Excuse me, but I don't think this is a matter we should discuss with children,” Umbrige said.

“With all due respect Professor, Fred, George, InuYasha, and Sesshomaru are all of age. Harry, has seen and fought Voldemort. He's seen him in action. Jhanie, Lyra, Aease, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku have all dealt with similar trouble in their previous school. I think we should be allowed to stay. After all, Harry and Jhanie were the ones who encountered Voldemort when he came into the building,” Hermione argued.

“Dear child,” said Unbridge smiling. How could she smile at a time like this? “You don't believe that such a little boy could encounter such a great wizard do you? These are obviously stupid stories made up by a little boy with a rough past who wants attention. The dark lord has is not rising again,” she said.

Harry opened his mouth to speak up for himself but Jhanie beat him to it. “How can you say that?” she snapped. “Who in the right mind could make up storied like that? He saw Cedric's death! He saw Voldemort kill Cedric-”

“That boy's death was a complete mistake!” Umbridge said.

“No Cedric's death was done on purpose. Why? Because he was in the way! Just in the way! He's done that to him, he's done the same to Harry's parents and probably done the same to a whole lot of people. He is rising again. As we are having this debate Voldemort is rounding up his death eaters again and looking for new followers. He's back, and I would know because I saw him! He was there, in the common room. And I don't know what he was doing there, which is why we must discuss possible reasons! And if you don't want to discuss any of this with us then you can leave the room,” Jhanie finished looking totally pissed off.

“I am from the ministry and I demand that we don't discuss anything with these kids,” Umbridge said.

“Its, late, go to sleep, I'll tell you what I think in the morning,” Dumbledore said in a tired voice.

They walked out of the study, before they closed the door they heard Umbridge say, “Albus, I deny you that you talked to them about anything about out conversation.”

“Very well,” Dumbledore said.

“But Professor,” Harry said.

“Harry, go,” Dumbledore said.

 

“You really told Umbridge off,” Kagome told Jhanie. They were sitting in their dormitory thinking of possible why Voldemort would come to Hogwarts.

“Yeah well, she was really pissing, me off,” replied Jhanie.

“I've got nothing,” Kagome said.

“Yeah, me neither,” replied Hermione.

“Its just, how can we think about something like this when we know the Professors are doing the same thing and not helping us?” Lyra said.

“Well, I'm tired, we'll see if the boy's come up with anything tomorrow,” Aease said.

“Night,” they all said.
