The Black Star: Chapter 3
Blood Moon
For a moment Hermione was to stunned to speak but finally she regained her voice,
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR EVERLOVIN MIND!!" she thundered. Harry held up his hand
"Now, now, Miss Granger there is no need to shout," he said with a smile. Hermione held her gun on him and reached into her purse for her cell phone. Just as she glanced down at the phone, Harry stepped forward and pulled the firing pin right out of her gun.
"Before you make that call, Ms Granger you should consider two things one I got out of the cell you put me in this morning which means I'll be long gone before they get here and two your dinner is getting cold." Hermione glared in response to Harry's pleasant smile and slammed the phone down on the table.
"Cheeky," she snarled before plopping down begrudgingly in the chair that he had pulled out for her. Grabbing her fork she began to eat, deliberately trying to ignore the fact that he was wearing a deep burgundy button up shirt and black slacks and looked absolutely dashing all while smiling cheekily at her.
"Oh great," she thought, "He would have be a good cook." They were part of the way through the meal when there was a knock at the door.
"Hermione, are you home," said a Male voice. Hermione's eyes widened
"WILLIAM," she gasped!
"Who's William?" Harry asked as he stood up to get the dessert.
"My boyfriend," said Hermione herding Harry through the door into the kitchen, "I completely forgot that I was supposed to go to a movie with him tonight. Now you stay in this kitchen and don't make a sound I don't want him to know you're here!" Hermione raced back to the front door and answered it. There stood William combing his hair all Five feet and eleven inches of him. He grabbed Hermione and kissed her. Then he went back to combing his hair
"What happened, Hermy baby," he said, "we had a date tonight?"
"I'm sorry William I had a rough day and I just forgot." replied Hermione.
"That's okay baby," said William, "tell you wha__." William trailed off as he looked over Hermione's shoulder. Then she turned a saw Harry standing at the table setting down a rich chocolaty dish on the end of the table that was visible from the doorway. Hermione mentally slapped her forehead.
"Doesn't he listen to anybody," she thought, "is that `Death by chocolate'?"
Harry looked up, smiled, and walked over to them.
"Hi," he said extending a hand, "I'm Harry Potter."
"Who is he, and what is he doing here?" snapped William ignoring the extended hand. Hermione's brain raced to find and answer that was believable. But William didn't what he stepped just in side the door and poked Harry in the chest.
"Listen, Buddy," he said, "you've got a few things to learn about invading a man's territory." William clenched his fists, "and Class is in session." Harry widened his eyes.
"Whoa," he said pointing over Williams shoulder, "Check out the rack on that hot mama!" William whirled around eyes wide with anticipation. Harry instantly Karate chopped him in the back of the neck and kicked him in the butt sending him flying out the door to land face down in the front yard. Harry promptly slammed the door, and turned to Hermione.
"I thought he'd never leave."
"You are crazy!" said Hermione, trying not to laugh and failing. They went back and sat down at the table talking like old friends.
When dinner was over Hermione sat down in the living room and Harry cleaned the table and took the dishes into the kitchen. Just then the front door was blown of the hinges and in charged three vampiric looking grey creatures each about the size of a man and each carrying a long handled weapon with a blade like a sickle. They crouched on the either side of the doorway and stayed there as a tall black clad man wearing a black metal mask walked in. the mask obscured everything except his mouth and nose.
"Good evening, Miss Granger." He said in a high pitched oily voice
"Who are you?" she snarled pointing her pistol at him, "the phantom of the opera?" suddenly the man held up his hand and the gun flew out of Hermione's hand and into his."
"Now let's be civil about this shall we?" he said, "I have a proposition for you, that pendant you always wear around your neck in trade for your life."
"I'd rather die than give up my family's heirloom," Snapped Hermione defiantly.
"That can be arranged," snarled the masked man menacingly. He snapped his fingers and the creatures raised their weapons, bared their teeth and started toward her.
At the last second three fireballs came out of nowhere they struck the creatures full in the chest and blew them against the wall. The masked man whirled around to see Harry standing there with his arm stretched out and his eyes glowing.
"Potter!!" he hissed.
"Get him you pea-brains!!" he yelled at the creatures. They jumped up and with a primal yell charged Harry with their weapons. Harry caught the arms of the first attack and whirled around so he and the creature were back to back. Suddenly he pulled down sharply and there was a sickening crack as both of the creature's shoulders snapped causing him to cry out and release the weapon in to Harry's hands. Instantly Harry spun around and cut the creature clean in half with his own weapon. To Hermione's shock there was no blood the creature disintegrated into dust. The other two creatures charged with their weapons raised. Harry made a lightning fast swing with the weapon he still had in his hand. The creatures stopped dead in their tracks and disintegrated. Hermione realized that Harry had severed their heads.
"Potter!!!" the man in the masked yelled. Enraged at the defeated of his muscle men he fired and energy bolt which Harry absorbed and threw right back at him knocking him out the door into the yard.
"We'll meet again very soon Potter on the night of the Blood moon," he snapped, "This is far from over!" with that he disappeared. Harry waved his hand and the damage was instantly repaired. Harry then turned to Hermione who was standing there still trying to comprehend what she had just seen.
"Are you alright?" asked Harry. She looked at him with a mixture of fear and gratitude.
"What are you?" she asked wide-eyed. Harry looked at her for a moment before softly replying.
"I'm a wizard."
