Flying on a Wizard's Wings (Harry Potter and Maximum Ride Fan Fiction)

Chapter 37

Dumbledore pov

"Harry no!" but it was too late. I watched in slow motion as the boy lunged in front of me. Two things shot out from his back as he blocked the curse. Voldemort shot him square in the back and he crumpled to the floor lifeless. I shot a spell at Voldemort.

Voldemort started to fight back but then the ministry workers arrived and he fled. Fudge just looked at the scene before him.

"Well fudge do you believe me now?!" I snapped at him.

He was dumbfounded "was that- it couldn't be- he is really back." He finally sighed.

"well glad we're now on the same page. But maybe if you had believed me sooner this wouldn't have happened!" I gestured to the lifeless form of Harry Potter and he gasped. Harry's hair and cloths were caked with blood from when Voldemort stabbed him. His uh... feathers... were draped across his back delinquently.

"potter?" fudge gasped.

I nodded solemnly "he sacrificed himself by jumping in front of a killing curse for me." In that moment I remembered that the children were still here. They all came down the hall talking to each other. For everything that had happened they all seemed all right. When they walked into the room however and saw the scene before them they broke out screaming questions at me.

Hermione and Ginny started crying when they saw Harry lying there. "Lupine please take the children back to Hogwarts!" he nodded a small tear trickling down his cheek. The kids left sniffling and crying.

I turned back to fudge "Albus what happened to him?"

I think this is the first time I had ever said this sentence "I have no idea. Where ever he was held captive last summer they really did a number on him."

"Where are you gang to take him?" he asked bending down and examining his feathers.

I scooped the boy up in my arms "I'll take him back to Hogwarts. From there we can prepare for a proper burial." With that I apperated back into my office.

Luckily it was early enough that when I left my office none of the children were awake. However teachers were. As I was rounding a corner heading to the hospital wing I ran into Minerva and Severus.

"Albus!" Minerva cried "your back!" I didn't answer her.

Severus however was staring at the bundle in my arms. Harry's feathers were folded up around him so you couldn't actually see him just a bunch of white feathers. Only Severus somehow knew exactly what it was "what happened! Who did this?!" he yelled at me.

Minerva was confused "what are you talking about-?" Severus pulled back one of his large fluffy white wings to revile Harry's face. Minerva started crying.

The three of us walked into the hospital wing. Severus just about had to carry Minerva she was crying so much. Madam Pompfrey was very happy to see me. That is until I layer Harry's lifeless form down on a bed, she too started crying.

We didn't know what to do with him yet so we just left him there. I sent madam Pompfrey back to her office. I then went on to tell them everything that happened.

(A/N - so you know how I said I wouldn't killanyone? well I guess I kinda lied but don't worry it all works out!)
