Golden Stars

Chapter Eleven: I have a Dream. Again.

Harry Potter POV

When I saw Draco, the first thing that I thought was:

Arghhh! Why do YOU have to ruin our plans all the time?

Then I thought:

Right, that's your job isn't it? To do all of Aunt Bellatrix's dirty work for her at school?

But then I heard a familiar voice in my mind.

Harry! Distract him! We'll go to the cupboard and look for the Map of the Oracle there!

That was obviously Sophie. So with no choice, I stepped forward, gave Sophie a small nod, and proceeded to duel with Draco, while Sophie and Keefe went to go find the Map together.

So while Draco and I shot spells at each other, I was thinking.

Did they find it yet? I thought. Maybe they left without me. Arghh! How do I finish this and win?

But while doing that, Draco suddenly stopped and I was suddenly greeted with bright flashes of light that blinded me.

Bedazzling Hex. I thought. Now I can't see. But how did he manage to cast that nonverbally?

Draco laughed, but with the time I got, I yelled:

"Stupefy!"

And Draco fell silent.

I sighed. Now to un-bedazzle myself.

"Salvio Hexia," I said.

My vision cleared and My eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room.

"Harry?" called a voice.

Sophie. I thought. They must be back.

"Im here," I said, walking towards the door.

"You okay?" asked Keefe.

"Yeah," I said. "But the more important question...."

I trailed off, hoping for a good answer.

Sophie grinned, and held up the Map.

I gaped at it. "Wow," I said. "It looks way cooler that I thought,"

"I know," Keefe said. "Me and Foster found it together,"

Keefe put an arm around Sophie and I laughed.

"Well, now that we've found the Map, I guess our work is done," Said Sophie. "So shall we go now?"

As we walked back to the Gryffindor Common Room under the Invisibility Cloak, I thought about that duel.

If Draco could use nonverbal spells the whole time, then why did he just suddenly remember that he could, and cast one in the middle of the duel?

Maybe he's just more stupid than I thought he was.

I shook my head, and lifted my wand a bit higher to see the rest of the way. We were almost to the common room when I realized we were near the balcony that was damaged by the attack. I balcony to see Fitz waiting for us, his head turned, to look at the quiet and peaceful night sky.

I stopped Sophie and Keefe and pointed to Fitz. They both nodded, and I carefully took off the cloak.

"Nox" I said, making the light of my wand fade out.

Fitz turned to us and seeing the map in Sophie's hands, he grinned.

"You found it," He said, walking over to us.
