Capítulo 104: Realisation 6
At least a hundred dementors, their hidden faces pointing up at him, were standing beneath him. It was as though freezing water were rising in his chest, cutting at his insides. And then he heard it again. …
Someone was screaming, screaming inside his head … a woman …
"Not Harry, not Harry, please not Harry!"
"Stand aside, you silly girl … stand aside, now. …"
"Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead —"
Numbing, the swirling white mist was filling his brain. … What was he doing? Why was he flying? He needed to help her. … She was going to die.
… She was going to be murdered. …
He was falling, falling through the icy mist.
"Not Harry! Please … have mercy … have mercy. …"
A shrill voice was laughing, the woman was screaming, and Harry heard no more. His magic flared and pushed the Dementors back but unlike the single one on the train, there were many of them now.
Everything was happening just like in the dream. Harry took his wand out, which was in his wand holster and as it was about to catch him, shouted the only spell that can repel them.
"EXPECTO PATRONUM," shouted Harry and a Doe leapt out of his wand and rammed into the incoming Dementors. Soon some more Patronus joined him, sending them back.
He lost control of his broom but because of his flying ability, he remained still in the air, gripping his Nimbus 2000 without much effort.
This is the first time he used his flying skill in public like this and his broom is with him, they assumed he was balancing with his broom.
Everything felt familiar yet strange at the same time. He can't explain his feeling and as other misty figures joined his Doe, he slowly descended.
For a second, he imagined seeing another Doe ramming into a Dementor which came close, but because of their close proximity, he can't tell if it was true or not.
Harry felt being touched by many hands, but couldn't understand what they were saying as his mind went blank after that. He saw concerned dark eyes before losing consciousness.
Evening
Harry's Room
"Quiet down. You could disturb him!" Exclaimed Cho as she shushed Terry and Padma.
"As if we can while you are here," retorted Padma with a teasing smile and Cho made a shoo motion to send them out.
"Fine, fine. We are leaving." Terry said and as soon as the door shut, Cho was on Harry's bed, hugging him closely.
"I was very concerned when all those… those-"
"Dementors,"
"Yeah, Dementors ganged up on you. An-"
"Harry?!" Cho doubtfully questioned.
"Harry!" She exclaimed in joy.
"You are awake. Thank Merlin,"
"Just woke up. What happened?" He asked groggily.
"Well, after you fell to the ground, softly as. if slowly descending, Dumbledore and other Professors used their Patronus to fend off the Dementors following you.
You fell unconscious and after a thorough check-up by Madam Pomfrey, you were brought here," explained Cho and Harry nodded.
"Why are you still wet?" He asked as he observed her sticking Quidditch uniform.
"I forgot to dry it," she replied and applied some cleaning and frying charms on it.
"Oh, you got a letter. I think it's from Mr Edward," said Cho as she put a sealed letter in his hands.
"I'll bathe. You can read it in the meantime," she offered and went into his bathroom to clean herself. Harry absentmindedly nodded and took the letter to read.
'Hey Harry,
Sorry for the delay, Harry. We are all doing well and as you suspected, Sirius's break-in was kept under rugs. I can't find even a small whisper about it anywhere.
While I was looking into some previous cases and judgments about illegal Animagus in other Magical countries to find any loopholes, I found a way to bypass it.
I want to talk about it, but it would be better to talk in person. So I want you to come here during Christmas Break.
But I want to make something clear. It's useless to file a suit for Sirius's freedom now, Harry. Let me explain.
We have evidence, yes. But Sirius, the accused or escaped in this case, is not there. The Wizengamot will order the Aurors to find him and a manhunt starts again.
Sirius is slippery and can hide well. So it would be better to file a trial for his freedom when he is with us safely.
I'll look out for him and if he tries to come to Hogwarts again, bring him with you to me immediately.
I can understand your love for Sirius and I promise I won't allow him to be imprisoned on any charge again.
Hedwig is a great Owl, Harry. She wouldn't leave until I wrote a response and she even hooted angrily when Dora tried to shoo her.
Take care,
Ted.'
Harry found Ted's reasoning sound and decided to wait for Ted or himself to find Sirius.
Cho came out fully clothed from her bath by the time he completed his letter. After Harry's bath, they started talking, enjoying each others presence.
And Cut.
