Harry Potter and his sister Alison

Chapter 37

The trio arrived in a dark forest near a small, frozen and Ron walked around in confusion.

"I could've sworn..." He stopped near the edge of the pond and knelt down to pick something up off the ground. "You've got to be joking." He muttered.

"What is it?" Alison asked as she walked over, still clutching Draco's hand. She gasped when she saw what Ron was holding were Harry's clothes.

Ron knelt down next to the small hole in the ice and his eyes suddenly widened so much Alison was afraid they were going to pop out of his head. "Bloody hell." He whispered as he jumped into the dark water and disappeared beneath the surface.

"Ron!"

Draco grabbed onto Alison and pulled her close when she lunched foreword, afraid she was going to jump in after him. She struggled against him but he refused to let go. That water was ice cold and the temperature out here was freezing she was not going to give herself Pneumonia.

Two heads suddenly burst out of the water and a soaking wet Harry and Ron pulled themselves out of the water, coughing and shivering. In Ron's hand was a large sword which Draco knew he didn't have before and the locket he remembered from the Grimmauld place months back in the other. Except this time, he knew this was the real one, he could feel the dark magic radiating off of it from here.

Draco quickly let go of Alison and they both ran over to help pull the boys away from the frozen lake and onto solid ground. He quickly pulled out the wand Mr. Weasley has been able to get for him, with a promise that this would be the last one he lost, and pointed it at the freezing boys, using magic to instantly dry them off.

He turned toward a nearby log and pointed his wand at it. "Incendio." He whispered and the log burst into flames, providing the four of them with some warmth.

"Alison?" Harry looked at his sister as he pulled his clothes on, for the first time registering everyone around him now that he wasn't so focused on drowning and freezing. "Draco? Ron?"

"Harry!" Alison ran into her brother's arms and Draco couldn't help but smile as he watched the sibling's tearful reunion with them cling to each other.

"Are you mental?" Ron asked. Harry and Alison pulled away from each other and turned to the Weasley. "Why in the hell, didn't you take this thing off before you dived?"

"It was you?" Harry asked, still holding Alison as close to him as he could.

Ron looked confused. "Well, yeah."

"You cast that doe?"

"What are you talking about? What doe?" Ron asked.

"The Patronus!" Harry said as he looked at the other three. "It wasn't any of you?"

"None of our Patronus's are a doe, Harry." Alison whispered.

Harry was quiet for a moment before he looked at Ron. "How come you're here?"

Ron's cheeks turned pink and he looked at his feet. "Well, I've... you know... I've come back. If... you know. You still want me."

Harry smiled. "'Course I do. How did you find us."

"Long story." Ron shrugged.

"And why have you brought these two along?" Harry's smile dropped and he crossed his arms. "Not that I'm not happy to see you." He added quickly when Alison raised an eyebrow at him.

"She begged me to bring her and Malfoy insisted he tag along." Ron shrugged again.

The black haired boy nodded and pulled his sister close to him again, extremely happy and relieved to see that she was safe and that he was able to see her again.
