Harry Potter and the Blue Lights

[Sirius Black]

This is my version of book 6. Please keep in mind that I started this fanfic way before we knew anything about HBP. I started it right after I'd read OOtP. So all information in this story reflects the information given up until OOtP. Thanks much. Any comments are appriciated.
If for some reason I forget to update this after a while (there are quite a few chapters) please let me know so that I don't leave you hanging.

And now, on with the fic!

[glow=blue,2,300]Chapter 1: The Fight[/glow]

Smash! Harry was hit in the left eye by Dudley. It was only the second week of summer vacation, and they were already fighting. But this time Harry was beating him worse. Dudley had been making fun of him because of his dream talking. Harry pushed Dudley hard and he fell onto his back. Harry started punching him everywhere. He didn't care that he might be locked in his room for doing this. He just wanted to beat the heck out of Dudley. But Harry had picked a bad time and place to fight, because his Uncle Vernon was just coming home. Harry felt himself being pulled off of Dudley and thrown across the yard. Harry looked up and watched Aunt Petunia half draging Dudley into the house, while Uncle Vernon turned around to deal with him. He grabbed Harry's shirt collar and picked him up off the ground. "Now you listen to me boy. You're going to be locked in that room for the rest of the summer. And if I so much as even hear Dudley complain about you..." He couldn't seem to find the right words to finish the threat. Harry was dragged up the stairs and thrown into his room.
He fell hard against the bed side table. The door was slammed and locked. Harry stood up. He'd hit is side so hard that it felt like a rib or two were broken. Too bad Hedwig isn't here, he thought. I'm sure the order would love to know that I'm being abused again. As if it could read his thoughts, a large barn owl soared through the window. It was carrying an important looking letter. Harry tore it open and saw that it was from Remus. "Hold on." he said to the owl, which was now pecking at his arm. "I wanta write back." Harry pulled out the letter and read:

'Harry,
I hope everything's alright. There will be a member of the order coming to see you soon. Let me know if they aren't treating you well.

Remus'

Harry quickly grabbed a piece of parchment and a quill and wrote down everything that had just happened. As he watched the owl fly away, he heard the door being unlocked. He quickly hid the letter in the sheets of his bed. Uncle Vernon came in. "Alright you. Now you're going to stay in here -"
"I don't think that's such a good idea. Mad Eye Moody and the rest of the order will be here in five seconds. They already know that you threw me across the room. We talk a lot." Harry gave him a smile and sat down on his bed. Uncle Vernon seemed to be trying to understand what Harry had just said.
"You've been talking with them?"
"Of course. They told me too, remember?" Uncle Vernon seemed to have finally gotten the message. He left the room and slammed the door.
Harry got up and looked in the mirror. He had a lovely black eye, and his glasses were broken. "Great, just great."

*********************************8

Later that night, Harry went down to dinner. Dudley was as far away as he could possibly be from Harry. He was pretending to be scared. Harry ignored him and poked at his food. He wasn't hungry. Harry's thoughts turned to what had happened in the ministry only a few weeks ago. He wondered what had happen to Sirius, after he had fallen behind the veil. Why couldn't he come back? It was just a stupid curtain. Maybe I could go back and look, Harry thought. He thought of what Hermione's and Ron's reactions would be. They'd never let him go. After what happened, they'll probably lock me in the common room; well, if Dumbledore doesn't do it first. Harry really didn't want to stay in the kitchen. He tried to leave, but just as he was getting up, he heard a loud pop. Someone had apparated, right in the Dursley's living room. Hoping to see Remus, or anyone but the Dursley's, Harry ran toward the living room. Before he could even open the door, Nymphadora Tonks walked in. "Tonks!"
Tonks walked to the table. "Sorry to interupt, I just need a minute to talk with Harry." Uncle Vernon nodded, and Aunt Pertunia looked as if someone had slapped her.
Harry walked into the living room, and Tonks followed. "Come on, we can talk in my room." He ran up the stairs.
"Oh Harry I have something to tell you." They walked into his room. "This room is so much better than the rest of the house. Well it is a bit messy, but at least it isn't too clean. Alright, I have to hurry, because we're having a meeting in" she looked at her watch "wow a half hour. So I'll make this quick.So, let's talk, since that's what we're supposed to be doing. Nice eye by the way."
Harry touched his black eye. "Dudley tried to beat me up. I think I beat him worse though."
Tonks laughed again. "I'm suprised that he didn't try to sit on you. He could have easily killed you that way." She looked back down at her watch. "I have to get going Harry. Sorry I can't stay longer."
"Wait" Harry said "You had something to tell me?"
"Oh yeah. Mrs. Weasley called and asked if you can come to their house. Albus said it was alright. But you can't go until next week, because they're leaving."
"They're leaving?"
"Yeah, they have to go get Charlie. Something about an accident with a Hungarian Horntail."
Harry remembered his encounter with a Hungarian Horntail a few years ago. Wow has it really been that long since then? "Ok so when am I going?"
"They'll send you a letter when they get home. Until then you're stuck here. I really have to go. Oh and if he ever tries to beat you up again, let me know so that I can help you. Bye for now Harry!" and she dissapeared with a loud pop. Harry walked back downstairs. At least I won't be stuck here forever.

Don't worry - I won't post more than a few chapters at a time. I'll leave you some time to catch up.

[glow=blue,2,300]Chapter 2: Cho's Visit[/glow]

Six days later, Harry was packing his things into his trunk, when Hedwig flew in. She flew over to him and landed on his arm. "Hey girl. Where've you been?" Harry took her to her cage and petted her a few times.
"Hey" Aunt Petunia said from the bottom of the stairs "There's someone here for you."
Harry spun around. There was someone here, again? Now what? Harry walked out into the hallway, wondering who it could be. He walked downstairs and into the living room. To his surprise, Cho Chang as sitting in the Dursley's living room. "Cho!"
She turned to him. "Harry." She looked at Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon, who were standing close together at the other end of the room. "Umm Harry can we talk in your room?"
"My room?" Harry said, thinking about what a mess it was. "Oh sure. Come on I'll show you where it is." Harry turned and walked back to his room. He couldn't believe that Cho had come here to see him. Cho, the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen, was going up to his room. But Harry did wish it was neater. "Well, this is it."
Cho walked into his room. She looked around a bit and went over to pet Hedwig. Harry started to make his room more presentable, when Cho came to him and put her arms around him. "Cho..."
"Harry, I've missed you so much." Harry's heart skipped a beat. "And I just wanted to ask if we could start over, cause I was really stupid last year and I know you didn't deserve it and..."
"Shhh" Harry cut her off. "I get the point."
"Sorry" She put her head on his chest. Harry's heart skipped three beats. "I had to come here and tell you that. It was driving me crazy." She let go of him and sat down on his bed. Harry joined her. "Nice eye."
Harry smiled. He didn't know what to say. He felt like he had to say something. A wierd silence fell over them. Harry was starting to feel uncomfortable. He could feel Cho staring at him. He felt her hand on his shoulder. She pushed him backward, so that he was lying on his back, and started kissing him. Harry's heart almost stopped completely. She stopped and looked down at him. "Wow" was all that Harry could say. She giggled and began kissing him again. Eventually Harry stopped being shy and started kissing her. After a while, Harry heard someone coming. "Cho. Stop. Someone's coming." Aunt Petunia opened the door, and saw Cho on top of Harry on Harry's bed. She gave them an evil look. Cho got up and fixed her hair with her fingers.
"So I guess I'll see you in London Harry." She winked at him and apparated.
Aunt Petunia stared at Harry. "What?" he asked. She turned and slammed the door. Harry knew that he would probably be locked in his room for that, but at least it had happened.

You think these chapters are short? Just wait until you read ch. 32...

[glow=blue,2,300]Chapter 3: Rescued[/glow]

The next day at breakfast, all of the Dursley's were unusually quiet. Every so often, Dudley would look at Harry and laugh. He realized that his aunt must have told the whole family what she had seen, and apparently Harry was going to be punished for it. When he tried to leave the kitchen, Uncle Vernon stopped him.
"Wait boy. Don't you go anywhere yet." Harry stopped, turned around, and sat back down at the table. As if on cue, Aunt Petunia and Dudley immediatly left the table and went into the living room. Uncle Vernon stood up and walked to Harry. Harry could tell that he was mad. "Now listen you. It's bad enough that you have to live here. We don't need all of your [censored] appearing here when ever they feel like it."
Harry's jaw dropped. Now he'd gone to far. "She's not a.."
"This time I'm letting it go, but only because you'll be leaving today and then that wierd family will have to deal with you. But I swear if I ever see her here again..."
"Then you'll leave her alone because if you hurt her then I'll hurt you." Uncle Vernon tried to say something back, but he couldn't seem to find the words. Something shattered in the sink. Harry walked out of the kitchen and ran back upstairs to his room.
He needed to calm down. He was making things explode again, and he was already in enough trouble with the ministry. Harry sat in his room for the rest of the day until he heard someone pull into the Dursley's driveway. He jumped up and looked out the window. A small red car was sitting in the driveway. A large group of wizards and witches climbed out. They were all dressed in muggle clothing, but apparently they'd never done it before, because a few of them were wearing shoes on their hands. Harry was amazed that they had all fit in that tiny car. He grabbed Hedwig, her cage, and his trunk and headed for the door. As Harry was walking backward down the stairs, someone grabbed his shoulder, making him jump, and sending Hedwig and her cage flying down into the Dursley's living room. He looked up, and Remus Lupin was holding his shoulder.
"Let me help you with that." Remus grabbed Harry's trunk, while Harry ran down the stairs to get Hedwig's cage. Hedwig was perched on the arm of a very tall witch. The Dursley's were crowded in a far corner of the living room. "Alright Harry," Remus said "Ready to go?"
Harry looked at the Dursley's. "Bye." He walked out the door, followed closely by the group of witches and wizards.
Once they had all crowded into the car, Remus looked back at Harry. "To the Burrow." He said to the driver.

************************

They seemed to have been driving forever. Harry suddendly felt tired. It hadn't taken this long before. He leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
When Harry woke up, there wasn't anyone else in the car. They had stopped at a very odd looking building. Harry guessed it must be something for the ministry. Then he noticed a note on the side of his glasses. Harry pulled it off and read:

'Harry, we had to stop for a minute. If you hear anything outside of the car, lie down on the floor and don't look out the window. Harry you must listen to me this time. Whatever you do, don't look out the windows.'

Harry reread the note. Why couldn't he look out the windows? He already had, and nothing had happened. Suddendly, the whole car shook. Something very heavy had jumped onto the trunk. It was right behind him.... looking in at him.... Harry suddendly felt uncontrolably scared. He had to run. It would get him if he didn't. Get out of the car! But just as he'd put his hand on the handle, he saw the note. Ok I'm crazy. He lied down on the floor and looked at the carpet. The thing was climbing on top of the car. Harry wanted to look, but he knew he shouldn't. He heard a sound like nails scratching a chalkboard. The thing was scratching the top of the car. He felt another wave of terror sweep over him. Run. Get out of the car. Now! Harry reached for the door handle, pulled it... and looked up at Remus. "Remus? What..."
"Harry, I told you to stay inside the car." he interrupted "You're lucky we came out and chased them away before you opened this door." Remus walked to the back of the car.
"Wait" Harry climbed out of the car and followed him. "What is them?"
Remus sighed. "Deamons, Harry. They were deamons. This time there were only two, but if there had been more..." Remus was touching the car. Harry noticed that there were long, deep scratch markes all over the car. "The ministry is going to have my head for this... I knew we shouldn't have stopped here."
"What would they have done to me? If I'd let them into the car."
"Well, you see what they can do to a car. Harry listen to me. The Dark Lord has many species helping him. You must be careful at all times. Those deamons could have sliced you to bits." Remus walked to the front of the car and sat down in his seat. Harry followed
"I didn't know... so if I don't let them in, then they can't hurt me?"
"Harry... you can't even look at them. If you look at them, and then look away, that's as bad as letting them in. And believe me, once you see them, you'll look away. That's why I wanted you to be on the floor. Just incase they came."
The other members of the group were examining the car. One of them was checking the engine, which looked like it had been through a shreader. "Sorry Remus, this thing isn't going anywhere."
"That's what I thought." He looked up at Harry. "Harry, we're miles away from the Burrow, but we are close to Hermione's house. So I've written to Dumbledore and asked him if you could stay there, until you can get to the burrow. Until he answers you'll be stuck in there with us." He pointed at the odd building.
"Alright." Harry followed Remus upto the building.

-----------------
Yes I spelled it right. Their de-ah-mons, not demons. If you've never heard of them that's cause I made them up.

[Sirius Black]

I love stopping with this chapter... great cliff hanger...
Be warned that this is the second scariest chapter in this story. All small children and easily squeemish people beware! (Well actually it's not to bad, but someone might think it is...)
---------------------

[glow=blue,2,300]Chapter 4: Vengence Deamons[/glow]

The building looked even wierder from the inside. This is definately a ministry building, Harry thought. The walls were covered in pink and white stripes, and there were a million doors everywhere. "Umm... which one do we go in?" Harry asked Remus
"The one all the way down there." He pointed down a very long hallway. "Come on Harry. Hurry up." Harry had to walk very quickly to keep up with Remus. Eventually, they reached the door. Remus opened the door and pushed Harry inside. "Stay in here. Don't leave this room." He closed the door and locked it. Harry could hear him running back down the hallway.
Harry turned and saw the oddest room he'd ever seen. It looked like he was inside of a giant basketball. The room was a giant sphere with lines running around it. There were no windows, and it was difficult to see the door. It was completely empty. Harry lied down on the floor and stared at the ceiling. He closed his eyes and...
He must have dozed off, because he woke up on the other side of the room. Harry rolled onto his stomach and looked at the door. It's open. Harry was going to get up to investigate, when he felt terribly scared again. It was in the hall. There was a demon... or deamon... whatever... in the hall. Close the door! He jumped up and ran for the door, but it was stuck open. Suddendly, something touched his shoulder. Harry looked sideways. It was touching him... he saw three, bloody, mutilated fingers. Harry quickly looked away, stared at the door, and didn't move. Maybe it will go away. Please let it go away. Out of the corner of his eye, Harry could see something on all fours coming straight for him. Another one was coming toward him from the side. Go away. Please go away. I didn't do anything... the second deamon charged and ran into his side, knocking him onto his back. Harry fell backward and looked up at the ugliest thing he'd ever seen in his life. It was even worse than a dementor. It looked like... well it was kind of hard to describe... a mutilated pig under a bloody sheep's coat. A disgusting smell filled his nose. They smelled like something that had been roting for a while. The two deamons stared down at him. There was one on each side of him. Harry's eyes started to burn. Don't blink... don't blink... remember the car... But he couldn't help it. The last thing he saw was a giant three fingered hand coming straight down on his face...
