Angel With a Shotgun {Harry Potter Universe}

Little Whinging 2

Harry nodded and said, "Nox." Darkness returns to the street, which is now only lit by the light of the moon.

Lupin looked at me, with a gentle smile on his face before saying, "We're your advanced guard, Harry. Dumbledore sent us as soon as we heard about the attack. We're taking you to safety."

Harry looked around before exclaiming, "How'd he know?"

Lupin smiled once more as I grabbed Tonks hand, "You didn't think Dumbledore'd let you run around on your own, did you?"

I looked at my father before beginning, "Harry, this is Nymphadora Tonks."

She smiled gently at the boy as I stepped forward, "She's gonna be a Lupin one day." He smiled as my father (Lupin) instructed her to go get Harry's broom from the house and I wrapped Harry in a tight embrace, "Harry, I couldn't let you be alone after what happened."

Harry looked at me with a deep and thoughtful expression, "What's going on? What's Lord Vol--" I quickly covered himself, "He is to be feared now, Potter. You must've speak his name, he could hear us. You especially."

Moody nodded, agreeing with me, "We're not talking about it here, it's too risky."

I kissed Harry gently on the lips, "I didn't tell you before-- I didn't tell anybody-- It's important, Harry, because if we die this year. Fred and I broke up because he knew that something had changed."

Harry shook his head, "What?"

I grinned, "I cherish YOU, Harry Potter." I turned around when I heard Mad-Eye say, "Blast it!" He pulls the eye from its socket with a horrible sucking sound and I saw Tonks was back. "Mad-Eye, dear, you do realize that's disgusting?"

"I want 365 degree visibility on the return trip."

"How are we getting there?" Harry questioned and I smiled, "Brooms, how else?"

Tonks handed the broom to Harry, a smile resting on my features. "There's the first signal," Kingsley told us.

"On your sweeper, Harry." My father instructed. Moody is moving around us. "Form up! Form up around Harry."

The advanced guard formed up around Harry, but he said, "I'm not going anywhere unless Jade is protected, she's in equal amount of danger." I shook my head, "Harry, I've been training for the advanced guard since the day you left Hogwarts, let me do my job." He only nodded as I went back into my spot again.

Moody spoke as I faced forward, standing in my spot next to Tonks (it was my fathers way of protecting me).

"We'll be flying in close-quarters formation. Tonks and Jade will be right in front of you, keep close to them at all times. Don't stop, and whatever you do, don't break formation." He paused before continuing, "If any of us are killed, the survivors, fly to the east. The rear guard is standing by."

Tonks squeezed my hand in a comforting manner before saying, "Stop being so cheerful, Mad-Eye. You're scaring Jade!"

He shook his head, "This would be the perfect moment for Voldemort to strike them." Harry questioned us, his voice laced with concern, "Uh, is that very likely?" I shook my head, "No one is going to die and especially not you, Harry."

"That is the second banner!" I heard my father yell before I masterminded to sharp off into the air. "Mount your floor brushes, everybody."

Seconds later, there is an explosion of green sparks in the sky.

We kick off the ground, which is swiftly left behind.

"Stay in formation!"

We are not as high as the clouds yet.

"We need more height!"

It is just seconds after the fact that another notice is yelled our direction. A dementor sours toward us, worn out robes snapping in the breeze. "Contacts toward the south!" I did as taught and as we separated, I moved in closer to Tonks, blocking Harry. "Mad-Eye! You, Tonks, Jade and Lupin take Harry!"

The rest of the advanced guard peels away from the group.

The sky appears to be clear. "There's another one, Alastar!"

"Expecto--!"

And Lupin peels away, rocketing towards the Dementor. I yelled, "Father!"

Lupin goes directly at the Dementor, which easily flips upwards, bypassing Lupin, however Lupin curves his floor brush around, and focuses it at the Dementor's withdrawing back. "'Expecto patronum!'" I heard my dad shout and a grin went to my face, realizing that he wasn't harmed. Lupin's patronus detonates from his wand tip, throbbing out through the mists, at the Dementor. The light blasts into it, and the Dementor, shrieking eerily, retreated back toward the rest of the advanced guard. Lupin rockets back Harry, Tonks, Moody and I.

"Come on, Potter! Keep moving!" I heard Moody exclaim.

"But I can help!" I shook my head, "Dying won't help anybody, so come on!" Glaring at me, Harry wheels his broom around and the four of us set off around, leaving the battle behind. "We're not far, now!"

Moody explained, causing a smile to creep past my lips, my hands tight on my broom.  Soon after, Lupin and the rest of the advanced guard return, intact and without injury.

"Did you get rid of them?" Moody questioned. "They're gone, Alastar."

"We're there!"

"Prepare for descent! Form up around Harry!" I smiled at Tonks as we got ready to land. We cut through the clouds, gliding lower as we went. Tonks and I touch down right before Harry does, the rest gliding down while maintaining their formation around Harry. All business, we drew our wands.

"Stay here, Harry." Lupin said before he pointed to me, "You too."

A few of the propelled monitor move to the edge, to anchor it. "Clear!" I heard Kingsley holler. "Right, Harry, this way."

Harry follows him, me by Harry's side and Tonks and Lupin following after, wands at the ready, eyes flickering to the buildings around us. "Here, read this." He spoke, giving Harry a piece of paper. It has written on it: "The Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix may be found at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, London." Harry looks at the gap between the houses, and suddenly a door appears, followed by the rest of a large, gray, rather imposing house.
