Hollys House

First topic message reminder :

Holly slammed down on the cold ground.
She looked up. They had indeed, landed in her old kitchen. And it was just as she had remembered.

"I know that much." Shadow said, smiling slightly.

"Who's that really weird looking dude on the floor?" Natalie asked.

"Mouldy's right-hand-man. He was one of the ones who helped to 'contain' me." Shadow said with disgust.

"Ugly ceature, isn't he," said Natalie walking around him.

All of a sudden, his hand struck out and grabbed her leg. Natalie fell.

She took out her wand.

"Stupify," she yelled, but he dodged it, let go of her, and made to grab Shadow.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER YOU SICK, TWISTED GUT!" Natalie yelled, and she stepped on his hand. He yelled in pain, and Natalie seized her chance.

"OBLIVIATE!" yelled Natalie, and the man's face went blank.

"You will not hurt Shadow, Holly or I...Natalie, ever again, nor will you try to find us," said Natalie, calmly.

The man nodded and kept looking at her blankly.

"There, that ought to do it," said Natalie proudly.

Shadow had leapt back, falling. She stood up again, shaking.

"Did I just...save your life?" Natalie asked, surprised that she was actually useful for something.

Shadow nodded.
"Why?"

"Because...I've never saved a life before," said Natalie, "I though I was totally useless...I just felt like a tag along pal...not a hero...I can't believe it."

Holly clapped Natalie on the back.
"We'll done mate," she said, and turned to Shadow.
"Maybe we dont care if Voldemort orders you to kill us," she said slowly, replying to something said a long time ago, "Maybe we will remain your friends.....,"

"...no matter what," said Natalie, "and besides...have fought Voldamort before...we can do it again."

((VoldEmort dude....not Voldamort))

"Yeah we have," Holly agreed.

((SORRY!))

"We can do it again, providing you"ll help us Shadow," said Natalie.

Shadow smiled slightly.
"Thank you."

"You're welcome," said Natalie, sweeping the dust off her robes with her hand.

Holly nodded slightly.
"Youre welcome," she said, "Now lets find George,"

Shadow nodded before starting to search the house.

"I er.....i think ill check my old room," Holly said, wanting to have a look.

"I'll come...just in case," said Natalie

Shadow didn't follow them, still wondering if they really wanted her to be around anymore. She checked all the downstairs rooms.

"George....GEORGE!" Natalie called.

She heard a monkey wail.....

George!

Shadow heard the cry and morphed into a wolf, bounding up the stairs. She found a closet with the monkey's scent around it and howled to try to bring the others there.

Natalie ran to where Shadow was.

"GEORGE!"

The monkey was in the closet.

"BOMBARDA!" Natalie yelled, pointing her wand at the door. It burst open. George was there, tied by ropes...he couldn't move.

"HOLLY! WE FOUND HIM!" Natalie yelled.

Shadow morphed back and went inside, gently picking up the monkey.

"Is he ok?" Natalie asked.

"Unconscious, but seemingly uninjured." Shadow replied.

"He's had a couple of blows to the head...but I think he'll live," said Natalie, taking the small monkey from Shadow and craddling him. She took off her cloak and wrapped him in it.

Shadow put a hand near George's head and surrounded the little creature in white magic.

From upstairs, Holly screamed.

Shadow nearly leapt out of her skin, her magic shutting itself off. She ran to Holly.
"What's wrong!?"

Natalie ran up after her to Holly with George, who was still in the magical orb.

Holly was in a corner of her bedroom, apparently very surprised, staring in awe at several people.....all dead on her bed.
She ambled blindly over to Shadow in the doorway.
"I knew them all," she muttered, not able to look at them properly.

Shadow put an arm around Holly's shoulders.
"Death Eaters target the ones that you know to cause you to suffer."

Holly swallowed and nodded a small thanks at Shadow, quite shocked that she had done what she had.
She took out her wand and made the bodies disappear.

"We found George." Shadow said quietly, steering her friend away from the scene.

"Hols...thats not....thats not, is it?" Natalie said.

"You found him?" she asked, a little bit happier, "Thank goodness....thanks guys, lost without you,"

"No problem. It's looks like he's taken a few hits to the head, but I'm dealing with that." Shadow said.

Holly nodded thankfully at her.
"Where is he?"

"Nat's got him." Shadow said.

Natalie pointed to the magic around George.

"He's just resting now," said Natalie.

Shadow walked back over to George, hovering a hand over his head and removing the magic.
"He'll be fine when he comes round again."

"Yay...did you want to look around Holly...or go back to Hogwarts?" asked Natalie.

Holly nodded and picked him up.
"Thank you guys.....," she turned to Shadow, "You gotta stop saving my life dude,"
She turned to Natalie.
"I think we've had enough adventure for one day.....will you take me back to Hogz?"

Shadow smiled slightly.
"Yeah, we'd better go back before they start looking for us."

"Yeah...can you give us a life Shad?" Natalie asked.

Shadow sighed.
"Yeah, hang on though. Where do you want to land?"

"I vote Honeydukes......or the hospital wing....i have a load of scars on my arms from that weirdo earlier....,"

"It's up to you." Shadow said.

"Hospiatl wing first...then Honeydukes," said Natalie.

"I'm only making one trip." Shadow said.
