Note: This is a long one. Anyways enjoy!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~


We were back at the Dursleys home. It's only been a few months and already I wanted to go back to hogwarts. I get it now why Harry wanted to go last year. Tomorrow, Uncle Vernon's sister Marge was coming over. I was in my brothers and I room reading, studying for this coming year.


"Davina!" I heard Aunt Petunia call for me. I quickly shut the book and ran downstairs.


"Yes, Aunt Petunia?" I asked her.


"Come help me with the cake." She demanded.


I walked over and assisted her. Dudley was in the living room with his friends, they were all mean to me not to mention one of them tried to kiss me. Dudley wouldn't have it since I was a shame and said I wasn't at all pretty. Thankfully they listen to anything Dudley says.


I was helping around Harry was doing other things. So far, I've managed to keep my head down and do as they asks. The sun was setting and dudley's friends went home. After everyone ate dinner, I handed out my sweets which they thanked me and ate. Well.... they were a bit nicer to me.


We all headed up to bed, except me I was left to do the dishes. Harry stayed to help me out. While I was washing I was also studying more.


"You're going to get the book wet." Harry told me.


"It's fine harry." I finished the last dish and handed it to me. We went upstairs to go to bed. I placed my book away and went to the bathroom to change then went back in the room to sleep. Before I did Harry went to go brush his teeth, and I grabbed my journal and began writing. I usually did, though nothing was really to write about. Not as much as when we were in Hogwarts. It usually was, today was fine, boring, something about Uncle Vernon, then Aunt Petunia, and Dudley was being dudley. I place my journal underneath my pillow and went to sleep. Thought Harry was staying up to study, I brought my blanket up to cover my eyes from the light he was shining from his wand. He did that alot, since he wasn't quite as lucky as me. But I wasn't lucky as him most of the time.


The next morning. Uncle vernon had left to go pick up his sister. I fixed everything around the table as Aunt Petunia and Dudley were getting ready. Harry was doing other chores but then the doorbell rang.


"Harry!" Aunt Petunia said. "Open the door."


Harry walked over and opened it as Marge walked in and handed her umbrella to my brother. I was in the kitchen making sure everything was ready for lunch.


I watch as marge's dog came in as well. Harry placed her umbrella on the side, and pulled out his form he needed to get signed.


"Uncle vernon." I glanced up as Aunt Petunia was greeting Marge. "I need you to sign these forms."


"What for?"


"Nothing... it's just school stuff."


Actually they were for a field trip to go somewhere when we get back in Hogwarts. I told Harry to do it earlier so we wouldn't have a chance to mess up but he said that we should wait it the date gets closer that way they had no choice and when they figured it out it was too late..


"Later boy, if you behave."


"I will if she does." Harry muttered.


"Ah... I see you two are still here." Marge said looking from me and my brother.


"Yes." Jarry said.


"Don't say "yes' in that ungrateful way. Be good of my brother to keep you two here. It would've been straight to an orphanage if they had been dump on my doorsteps."


I wanted to badly punch her.


"Is that my little Dudley?" She said happily as she embrace Dudley, who to distracted as he waswatching tv.


Harry carried marge's suitcase upstairs into their guest room. I finished up lunch and began setting it up around the table.


"See..." Marge said. "Now there's someone with some normality." she pointed at me. "Unlike that pesky brother of hers." She mumbled not really wanting me to hear it but I did. I just kept my head down, feeling angry for her insulting my brother. But I tried to remain calm. Lunch came around and everyone began to eat. Harry and I would eat leftovers, so we waited. When they were finishing up Harry had went around to pick up the empty plates.


"Davina, go get some wine glasses." Uncle vernon said walking over it grab the wine. I quickly went to the cupboards and took out three wine glass and walked over, handing the cups to Uncle vernon as he poured. I handed them to Aunt Petunia and Marge as uncle vernon filled his glass and I went back to the kitchen.


Marge had gave some wine to her dog, which made me and Harry smile a bit.


"What are you two smirking at?" I went back and began washing the dishes. "Where did you send those two again?"


"St. Brutisburg." Uncle vernon said. "It's a fine institution for hopeless cases."


I'll show him a hopeless case.


"Do they use a cane there boy?" She asked harry, who was facing them.


"Oh yeah." Harry said obviously lying. "I've been beaten loads of times."


A small smile came to my face, I bit my tongue and fell back to a expressionless face.


"Excellent I would have these nasty beating people who deserve it." Marge said. Harry turn towards me and smile.


So far so well.


"But you mustn't blame yourself on how these two turned out Vernon. It's all got to do with blood, bad blood will these two out." Oh no...


I glanced at my brother and saw his expression change.


"What did their father do Petunia?"


"Um... nothing, he didn't work. He was unemployed."


Marge let out a scoff. "A drunk too no doubt."


"That's a lie." Harry said.


"Harry." I said in a low whisper, where they couldnt hear me. I looked at my brother and shook my head a bit.


I glanced and saw Marge turn to the both of us. "What did you say?"


Harry turned around and was furious. "My dad wasn't a drunk."


And at the moment Marge's glass broke into pieces. I grabbed harry's hand, pulling him back. But luckily they didn't see. Uncle vernon glared at Harry.


"It's alright, Petunia I have a firm grip."


"I think it's time you went to bed." Uncle Vernon said looking at Harry.


"No, it's alright." she snapped her fingers and pointed at me. "You clean it up."


I grabbed the small towel and rushed over myself, not wanting Harry to get into anymore trouble. I began picking up the pieces carefully and cleaning up the wine.


"See this one got some sense in her." She pulled a strand of my hair. I winced a little but kept a straight face. "Stays, quite. Like a good little girl you should be. Actually." she said looking from me to Uncle vernon while releasing me. "It's nothing to do with the father, it's all to do with the mother. You see it all the time with dogs." I finished cleaning the glass and walked over to the kitchen. "If there's something wrong with the bitch then there's something wrong with the pup."


"Shut up!" Harry shouted making me jump.


I didn't blame him. And I didn't have the energy to do it because I was about to cry at this point.


"Alright let me tell you--" marge stop herself, i turned to see that her finger was being blown up. I glanced at my brother and saw him furious. Marge began to blow up into a balloon as her necklace and buttons on her shirt began to snap off. Finally she was fully blown and floating in the air. She bounced from the ceiling, making her way out while shouting. Uncle vernon and Aunt petunia went out trying to grab her.


Harry turned to me. "Go upstairs and pack your trunk now!" he said pushing me to the stairs. I raced upstairs and went into our room, packing his and my things, not wanting to leave anything magical behind. I grabbed my books and journal and stuffing them into my trunk. Harry came running in as he grabbed paper and sent out a letter letting hedwig go not long before doing the same and sending Athena off. I grabbed my wand and went down after harry.


I can't believe we're doing this. Uncle Vernon came and stopped harry.


"You bring her back and you fix this!"


"No! She deserve what she got."


"NO!" He grabbed my brother, I pulled out my wand and pointed it at him.


"Leave him alone!" I said holding it out.


Uncle vernon looked at me as harry took out his wand. He stepped back and shook his head. "You both are not allowed to use magic outside of school."


"Yeah? Try us." I said as we got to the steps.


"They won't let you back in now, you've got nowhere to go." He said mostly to Harry.


"Oh yeah? Anywhere's better than here." he said forwarding. "Go Davina." I went behind him and walked out the door, with Harry right behind me. We went to the streets as Harry grabbed my hand as we quickly walked away from the house. I had a small light sweater on, we were a good mile or two away.


"Harry slow down." I said as I walking behind him. "I'm tired."


Harry sighed, turned around and looked at me. "Alright let's rest." he place his trunk against the sidewalk and then took mine. I sat down wrapping both my arms around myself as harry opened it and pulled out a blanket, wrapping it around me.


"Are you okay?" Harry asked sitting beside me.


"I'm fine." I said hugging myself.


"No you're not." I looked at Harry. "It wasn't right for Marge to pull on your hair. It wasn't right for Petunia to making you do things that'll get you hurt either, you nearly burned yourself helping her roast that duck.."


"I know." I said leaning my head against his shoulder. We looked out into the sky. "Where are we going to go Harry?"


"Leaky Cauldron, it's a long trip. Don't know how we're going to get there, we haven't any money other galleon and some sickle, but I'll figure something out." He said leaning his head against mine. "Get some rest, little sister."


I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths. I woke up moments later when Harry stood up and then fell backwards.


"Harry?" I said looking at him.


We both jumped when we heard a loud honk. I turned to see a bus that was huge, not to mention it appeared from nowhere. It drove over and stopped right in front of us. There was a young man standing in the back.


"Welcome to the Knight bus, an emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. My name is Stan Chantiboat, and I will be your conductor for this evening." He said placing his card inside the front pocket.


He looked down at the both of us. I stood up.


"What you're doing down there for?"


I looked at my brother.


"I fell over."


"What you fell over for?"


"Well i didn't do it on purpose." Harry said getting up.


"Well come on then, let's not wait for the grass to grow." I turned to grab our things and when i turned back i saw Harry walking over the side of the bus and looking at something. The conductor and i walked over to see him looking at bushes.


"What are you looking at?" Stan said.


"Nothing." Harry said.


"Well come on then." He said. "No, no. I've got this. You just go on in." He grabbed both me and my brothers trunk. I went in first as Harry followed behind. Inside the bus there was someone else but they were sleeping. I continued to walk forward and saw a chandelier hanging in the middle. It was actually quite beautiful.


"Come on, come on, come on. Move on, move on." I sat in the bed that was in the front with my brother sitting beside me. Stand walked in front of us and pressed down a small lever around the machine he was holding. He handed harry something as Harry quickly grabbed something to hand to him.


"Take it away Ern."


"Yeah take it away ernie." J jumped when I saw a doll head inside where the driver was beginning to talk. "It's going to be a bumpy ride."


The bus took off, faster than I anticipated. Harry fell back on the bed as I held on to the side bar as the bed went back and forth. Stan stood there as we came forward.


"What did you two say your name was again?"


"We didn't." I replied. The bed went side to side.


"Well where are you and your bags are heading."


"The leaky cauldron." Harry replied. "That's in London."


"Did you hear that Ern? The leaky cauldron, that's in London." Stan impersonates Harry.


The head doll spoke again and started laughing.


"The muggles, can't they see us?"


"Muggles? They can't see a thing, not unless you stick them with a fork then they can feel."


"Ernie little old lady, ten-o'clock." the doll head said. The bus stopped immediately and Harry went forward with me still holding onto the bed.


"Ten... nine... eight... seven... six.... Four..." The head doll continued even going into quarters and halves as the old lady was passing by.


The bus zoomed forward as the bed went sliding back again and forward again.


"Who is that?" Harry asked gesturing the newspaper. "That man?"


Stan looked at the front of the paper. "Who is that? Who is..?" He faced the paper towards us. "That is Sirius Black, that is... don't tell you two have never heard of Sirius Black."


We both shook our heads.


Stan leaned over. "He's a murder. Got himself locked up in Azkaban for it."


"How did he escape?"


"Well that's the question isn't it?" Stan said. "He's a big supporter of.... You-know-who. Reckon you heard of him."


"Yeah." I glanced at my brother. "Him I've heard of."


We went through London and slowed down when two double decker buses were in the way. The bus squeezed tightly and went in between the buses and once we were out it zoomed over.


The bus stop and harry and I went flying forward.


"Here we are the leaky cauldron." Stan said. We stood up and turned to see a tom coming on the bus.


"Ah, Mr. and Miss. Potter. At last."


We got off the bus and walked inside. We walked upstairs and into a room.


"Hedwig." Harry and I walked over and stroked his bird. Harry told me that he sent Athean to the Weasley's just to let them know where we were for tommorrow since they were suppose to pick us up.


"Bright bird you have Mr. Potter. Arrived five minutes before yourselves."


Someone clears their throat, making us turn our heads. "As the minister of magic, it is my duty to inform you Mr. Potter, that you're uncle sister's has been located."


The worker set us both down as offered food.


"The accidental eraser department was dispatched immediately and has no recollection of the incident whatsoever. And that's that, and no harm done." the minister said walking over. "Pea soup?"


"No thank you." Harry answered.


"What about you dear?"


"I'm fine thank you."


"Uh.. minster." Harry spoke.


"Yes?"


"I don't understand."


"Understand?"


"I broke the law, underage wizards aren't allowed to use magic at home."


"Oh come now." Ghe minister said clapping his hands. "The ministry doesn't send people to Azkaban for blowing up their aunts."


The worker began laughing, as the mister looked at him.


"On the other hand running away like and taking your sister with you as well, given the state of things, was very, very irresponsible."


"The state of things sir?" Harry asked.


"We have a killer on the loose."


"Sirius Black you mean?" I glanced at Harry and the mister.


"But what does he have to do with us?" I asked him.


The minster chuckled. "Nothing of course, you're both safe that's all that matters." Be patted harry's shoulder. "And tomorrow both of you will be back at Hogwarts." he walked over to his desk. "Oh and these are both of your new school books." Tom showed us behind him. "I took the liberty of getting them myself."


"Thank you." I whispered softly to him.


He smiled.


"Now tom will show you both to your rooms." The minister said as room walked over and grabbed both of us.


"Hedwig." Harry said as hedwig flew to his arm.


"Oh and I'd advise both of you while you're here, it's probably best that you don't wander off." The minister said.


Tom lead us to our separate rooms, where out trunks were in. I sat on the bed placing Athena on a stand and pulled out one of my new school books and began reading through them. It was growing darker and I got ready for bed and grabbed my journal writing down what had happened today. Tomorrow was going to be a better day. Tomorrow Harry and I will be going home, back to hogwarts.


The next morning, I changed into a red shirt, blue jeans, black boots, and a black sweater then headed downstairs. I saw the weasleys were here as I walked down. Mrs. Weasley rushed over and embraced me. I greeted everyone, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, and lastly embrace Ginny. Hermione came in later as well. We all moved around as I was talking to ginny about what had happened. My brother Harry came down later and Mr. Weasley pulled Harry aside to talk to him. We all sat around the table and began to ate. Ginny was telling me all her adventures in Egypt. Which I moved because I really haven't gone anywhere but Hogwarts and the Dursleys in my life. Maybe one day.


We all grabbed out things and headed to the station to get to the train. It was beginning to pour as we got inside the train. I sat with Ginny as Neville, and seamus. The rain was blowing harsh down, not to mention there was thunder and lightning.


Ginny and I were talking about the coming year, when the train stop.


"What's going on?" Neville said.


I looked out of car seeing everyone else looking out. That when the train car moved flunking us back into our seats.


"Are you okay?"


"Fine." I said. The lights went out and ginny nad i grabbed each others hands. Neville was holding onto his toad, seamus holding onto Neville. We watch as a dark ghostly creature passed by.


"What's that?" I asked everyone.


"That's a dementor." neville whispered. 'They're the guards in Azkaban prison."


"Are they looking for Sirius Black?" ginny asked.


"But he can't possibly be on this train."


We all looked at each other. I felt this weird feelings inside of my, like all the happiness was sucking itself out of me. Then I felt lightheaded.


"Davina are you okay?"


I nodded. "My head is spinning is all."


Soon after a while the lights came back on and the train started moving again. A few minutes later Hermione opened the car door.


"Davina." she said. "Come. it's harry."


I shot up and followed her to her car. When i got in it was just ron and Harry, who was sitting up.


"Harry are you alright?" I asked sitting down next to him.


"I'm fine." He said.


I stayed with him a bit then headed back in my car.


"Is everything alright?"


"One of dementors went into the car my brother was in." I said sitting down. "Apparently he passed out after he was frying."


"That's weird." Neville said. "Why would Harry pass out?"


I looked out the window and we continued to talk anything that wasn't about sirius black or a dementor. When we arrived we got into the carriages which took us to the school. And headed into the great hall for dinner. The first years were sorted and then the choir came on and sang. We all clapped after they had finished performing and Dumbledore went onto the podium.


"Welcome to another year of Hogwarts." Dumbledore began to speak. "Now I'd like to say a few words before we all are befuddle by our feast. First, I'd like to welcome RJ Lupin, who will be filling in the position of the Defense Against the Dark Arts, goodluck professor."


We all clapped.


"Secondly our professor of Care for Magical Creatures has decided to retire to spend the rest of his life with his remaining limbs. So I am proud to announce that his place will be take by none other than our very own Rubis Hagrid."


We all clapped and cheered as Hagrid stood up nervously. I smiled and looked at Harry who was also proud.


"And finally, at the request of the Ministry of magic, Hogwarts will be, until further notice, play host to the dementors of Azkaban until time tells when Sirius Black has been captured. The dementors will be station at every entrance of the grounds, now will ensure that their presence will not disrupt our day to day activities. A word of caution, dementors are vicious creatures, they will not dishtinish the one they hunt and the one that gets in their way, further I warn you to give them no reason to harm you. It's not in their nature to be so forgiving."


After dinner we went to the common room. Giny, Alice, and I were sharing rooms again. We were all taking and laughing as we got ready for bed.


I was sitting on my bed writing in my journal when Hermione came over.


"Did you know Malfoy found out Harry fainted when he saw the dementor?" i looked at her.


"What?"


"It's true, he was making fun of Harry about it."


I groaned and threw my head back. "One day, he's going to get it. If not I might just hex him when this is over."


"Agreed." Hermione said. "So what classes are you taking?"


"A few." I told her. "A few more than last year, i kinda want to keep myself busy this year."


"Davina and i have a most classes together." Ginny said walking over to sit next to me. "I think this year going to be wonderful."


"I think so to." Hermione said.


We all went to bed and in the morning got hanged and headed down to breakfast before making our way to class.


After two classes, one being more Potions, and another being Herbology, i was making my way to the Dark Arts class for second year students. Ginny and I walk in and took our seats.


"Yes, welcome everyone to the Defense Against the Dark Arts." Professor Lupin said. "Now if you please turn you books to the first chapter. We'll begin."
I glanced up and saw Professor Lupin looking at me in astonishment, it was almost the same look Professor Snape had given me last year. He shook his head and continued the lesson. That was weird.


And the same thing happened in Herbology, not to mention when I was in the library a few of the first year students looked at me like that.


Alright, if this continues I might just hex someone.


~~~~~~~~~


I walked the hospital wing to check on Simon who got hurt in Herbology, that when I saw Malfoy surrounded by his friends. He was groaning and screaming. After a while the nurse suggested he needed rest. I had left and then came back seeing Simon, but was already gone.


"What are you doing here?" I heard Malfoy say.


I sighed and turned around. "I came to see a friend, but he's already dismissed." I said his arm in a sling. "Are you okay?"


I saw his face slightly taken back. Was it so hard for someone to any sort of kindness, I know he doesn't deserve it but still he is hurt.


"I will once I tell my father about this." he said with such... Annoyance? I saw him shifting his arm higher and pulling on the sling.


I walked over and saw the knot was lose. "Hold still." I went behind him and tighten up the sling and tugged it to make sure it didn't fall off. I stepped back and saw him looking at me the entire time.


Knowing he wasn't going to give me so much as a thank you, I step back and look at him.


"Hope you get better Draco." I walked out and headed to the library, that where I saw ginny and Alice sitting there. I joined them and started working on an essay and other papers.
