Quetzal- Hello! chapter 11
well then onward!
Chapter 11 - We can hope can't we?
Orion smiled as he shot skyward going straight up without pause until Harmonies house faded into another indistinguishable glowing dot among hundreds of others. He slowed his climb to a more leisurely pace enjoying being in the sky after being grounded for months and tilted the broom to the left spiraling into the clouds, looping and dodging around the moonlit monoliths like he was trying to escape some unseen enemy. Hours later he rolled and spun up coming out on top of the cloud layer, the ground wasn't even visible up here. He just glided along the breeze tugging at his cloak watching the moonlight reflecting off the clouds.
It was strange really he thought, that he had living family who might actually care for him, what would Zeus be like he wondered? He didn't really seem like the kind of person he could really see being anything other then sort of tolerant of his children, would he even notice when he and Harmonie escaped back home? Would Poseidon notice his daughter? He didn't have an answer, and he also had the feeling he may never find out. He had learned to trust those kind of feelings, and take them seriously when he was younger. It went beyond simply having good instincts, but it wasn't like he could see the future, no he was just...Lucky, In a way he supposed(1). Still, he knew very well, even without that sense of his, that their chances of escaping cleanly were zip. Something would have to give eventually and he'd be damned if it was Harmonie if it came down to it he would make sure she made it out even if it cost him his own life.

Harmonie glanced up as something tapped at the half closed window and went to open it all the way before stepping aside a light breeze passed her and she shivered, that cloak gave off creepy vibes sometimes she thought closing the window and pulling the shades closed. When she turned Orion had already jumped off his broom and stood there staring at her for a moment before smiling. "Hay." He said wryly she just smiled back.
"Feeling better?" She asked he nodded.
"Much, what time is it anyway?" He asked
" 1 Am you were flying for 4 hours." She answered drily he blinked and shook his head.
"I'd have bet, I wasn't even gone an hour." He said yawning mid sentence Harmonie just rolled her eyes.
"Right, now go to bed I put your stuff in the guest bedroom its across the hall, good night." She said steering him out of the room as he yawned again.
" 'Kay, night Mi" He said closing the door she shook her head and disappeared back to her own room.

"WAKE UP!" Yelled a psychic voice in his mind the next morning making Orion yell and jump out of bed wand drawn only to find a frantically fluttering Bennu in front of him. "The Durslys house was attacked last night they we're all killed." He said rapidly Orion blinked numbplused
"My heart bleeds." He drawled only to get pecked in the head by Bennu.
"Dumbles knows your gone you idiot he's been looking for you! You need to leave Harmonies as soon as possible before your tracked here! It would be too suspicious if you were found here as Diagon is closer to your home!" Orion understanding the significance of the problem scowled and cursed digging around in his trunk for some clean cloths.
"Any idea how long I'v got?" He asked as he pulled his jacket on.
"An hour maybe less." Answered Bennu as he darted out of the room to wake Harmonie and Orion concentrated on tossing everything back in his truck and locking it before hitting the charm on the top causing it to shrink, the now matchbox sized trunk disappeared into his pocket just as Harmonie burst into the guest bed room.
"You have everything?" She asked he nodded "Good" She said relived and held something out to him. Orion frowned at the little 4 inch hand mirror and looked confused. "Its the project I'v been working on its like a video phone Orion." Harmonie explained "Just say my name and mine will heat up and buzz if I contact you yours will do the same all right? Now go! We can talk later!" She said and he nodded swinging the invisibility cloak over his shoulder vanishing from sight dashing down the stairs Harmonie ahead of him, she pulled the door open allowing him out into the back yard. "Good luck" she said quietly as he brushed passed her.
Orion glanced around before darting down the street heading a dozen or so blocks away before trying the trick Neville had told him for if he ever got stranded somewhere, and stuck out his wand arm into the road. An instant later a violently purple triple decker bus appeared with a bang. The doors swung open and Orion jumped on board shoving 3 gallons at the guy who had been about to talk. "Diagon ally as fast as possible please." He said shortly still hidden under the cloak the startled teenager turned and yelled at the driver
" Diagon Stan and step on it!" Orion didn't bother to sit down on one of the beds as the bus jolted into action leaping down the road and squeezing its way down an alley. He hung on tightly as the bus jolted and nearly spun out a few time objects having to jump out of its way before it slid to a stop in front of the leaky cauldron.
"Thanks!" He called over his shoulder hurriedly as slid into the old bar which was luckily fairly empty this time of day. He went over to the bar. "Id like to rent a room." He said calmly Tom jumped a mile at the sourceless voice before asking how long he'd like to stay not seeming to find dealing with an invisible customer all that odd once he got over the initial surprise a few gallons and a room key were exchanged allowing Orion to get a room in short order. 10 minutes after leaving Harmonies home he flopped down in the bed of his room with a tired sigh. So the Durslys were dead hu? That certainly improved the day by a healthy margin. He was glade they were gone he really ought to thank Tommy next time he saw him. He frowned at this turning the thought over in his head for a moment before an evil grin worked its way onto his face, that wasn't a bad idea! He got up still grinning and after a bit of digging in his resized trunk pulled out a quill, ink and parchment and started to write. He finished only moments later and read through his handy work snickering at the how pissed this was going to make Tommy.
He grinned and nodded to himself then called Hedwig over. "Deliver this to Voldemort, all right girl? And be careful!" He said Hedwig hooted and snatched the letter out of his hand and flew out the window. He watched her disappear from sight. Before looking around the room and beginning to partly unpack his trunk he need to make it look like he had been here since yesterday afternoon.

Dumbledore refrained from growling as the tracking spell hiccuped again and pointed another direction this time towards Diagon alley, if he didn't know any better he would have said that Fawks was laughing at him. It was this glint the Phoenix had in its eyes as he left his office this morning he thought, annoyed, as he apperated once more reappearing at the entrance to the leaky cauldron and swept inside.
The spell was now pointing up indicating the boy was in one of the rooms above, his eye brow twitched he had been here the whole time? Why hadn't he just checked here to begin with? He swept up the stairs following the spells until it was pointing at room 23. Trying to contain his irritation at the situation he made sure that the spell that made his eyes twinkle was in place and knocked. There was a moment of silence before he heard the bed springs squeak and the door opened. Harry eyed him with a frown obviously trying to decide if he was really the headmaster or an impostor before apparently deciding he was real. He took a step back opening the door all the way and allowing him in.
"Im glade you finally got here headmaster! Iv been dodging death eaters all night!" he said exasperated.
"Im sorry I wasn't here sooner my boy but your magic was making it difficult to track you and I had to take care of the situation at your relatives home. Its much worse then you may think it wasn't just you relatives home that was attacked the entire street was burned." Harry looked at him a little startled a particular frown crossing his face at this.
"Im sorry headmaster but I can't say im sorry to see them go." He said with a shrug "I was more concerned with the death eaters chasing me. Albus's eyes dimmed at this the boy should have been distraught even with the way his relatives treated him some of the spells must be weakening. He ran a scan of the boys surface thoughts and found his spells undamaged and never notice as the boy stiffened at this and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Orion tried to show no sign he knew the headmaster was looking at his thoughts but it was hard. "He will see only what he expects too"said Horus's voice in his mind making him twitch in surprise, but after a moment the sense of being watched left and the headmaster looked please with himself. "Well my boy your probably just in shock so don't worry about it. However as you summer home has been destroyed I will need to ask you to stay here until school. Please do not leave the alley or stray into Kockturn ally or muggle London. I will tell your friend Ron that you are here maybe he will have a chance to stop by at some point."
"Ron's not my friend" Answer Orion drily, but Dumbledore just ignored this statement and plowed on.
"It would be good to talk to your friend once this loss truly begins to effect you."
"But he's not my friend" Repeated Orion again.
"Nonsense my boy you two go everywhere together!" The Headmaster said brightly
"Thats because he follows me around." Muttered Orion annoyed as the Headmaster turned to leave and headed down the stairs. He turned around closing the door behind him and jumped a mile when he found Bennu in his Humans form laying on his bed stretched out in the patch of sunlight shining in the window. "Bennu!" He said surprised the Phoenix sent him an amused look.
"Hello sparky" He said brightly earning a sour look out of Orion.
"Don't call me that." He snapped
"Or else what?" The drawled Phoenix grinning Orion stared at him for several moments before he lunged, the 12 year old tackled the humanoid Phoenix knocking the wind out of him and pining his left arm to the bed with a victoriously grin, but Bennu twisted him over flipping Orion around and leaving him sputtering in indignation as he was glued to the bed with magic and Bennu went about straightening his ruffled feathers as though he wasn't even there.
"Let me up!" He snapped Bennu just shot him an amused look.
"Stop acting like a child and I might consider it!" He answered smirking.
"I AM A CHILD! Whats your excuse?" Orion snapped back Bennu gave him a wounded look and released the magic sticking Orion to the bed allowing him to jump away.
"Why are you here anyways?" He asked frowning at Bennu.
"I just worry about you kids and wanted to make sure you got here alright, unlike the gods I have to physically come over here to check on you I can't just take a look without you ever knowing." Orion looked at him strangely for a second before speaking
"Thanks." He said smiling slightly.
"Of course, someone has to take care of you two." He said amused.
