"Shouldn't you get back to Padfoot?" Natasha asked later, they were still in her apartment and it was lunch time, neither really seemed willing to cook so they had just ordered a take out. Natasha was dressed in a loose but comfortable grey shirt and pajama bottoms, she was sat with her legs crossed on her sofa with Harry sat next to her, wearing the exact same clothes, only his size.
"I don't really think we have to worry about that." Harry smirked in a knowing way.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Natasha asked, a second later she got her answer in the form of a bark. She nearly jumped out of her seat, only to be held down by Harry and who calmly gestured to Padfoot who was now standing a short distance in front of her. "Okay… Harry…" She said after a short silence.
"Yeah?" Harry asked with a small, amused grin.
"… The hell… how… explanations… the please… if you wouldn't mind…" Natasha said, eyes still locked on Padfoot who looked fairly unbothered. "can Padfoot teleport too?" She asked Harry.
"Yep," Harry nodded. "though he can only ever really teleport to my location."
"Neat trick." Natasha complimented, Padfoot barked and Natasha knew the dog well enough at this point to know he was saying 'thank you'.
"Excuse me." Harry said as he stood up. "Just need to go toilet." He said before he walked off, the second he was gone Padfoot jumped on the sofa, taking Harry's spot.
"Hi boy," Natasha smiled as she petted him. "you look great. I think your master is staring to open up to me," She whispered. "I just kind of wish he would trust me more, and be less worried." Padfoot looked at her with a penetrating gaze. "What is it?" Natasha asked, only to feel her body suddenly shake.
.....
Natasha suddenly found herself standing somewhere that was definitely not her apartment, she looked around and noticed she was in a ballroom or hall of some kind. The people here had not noticed her though, they were all dressed in dark robes and had skull masks on, Natasha had turned around and had unintentionally stepped into a person, the person in the mask didn't appear to take notice but to Natasha it felt like he didn't even exist.
She could see him but she couldn't feel him, she hesitantly took a step forward and found herself walking through the person. She tried touching another person to see if it was a one off thing but it was not as her hand went right through the man she tried to touch, it was like she didn't exist here.
Natasha was looking around when she suddenly saw one person at one end of the hallway raise what looked like a wand, a deep booming sound came from the wand and everyone turned towards the person. Natasha walked through everyone until she reached the person who had six men between him and the crowd, almost like a shield. She waved her hand in front of the man and his men but none of them showed any visible signs of noticing her.
"Fellow Death Eaters," The man said to the crowd, Natasha blinked at that, that was the name of the army that Harry had told her that he had fought back in his world. Was this that army? They had wands and they were definitely dressed like Harry had described. Natasha stepped to the side so she could look between the speaker and the crowd. "we have been hiding, why? Because of the Ministry? No, not them. Because of certain death? No, not that either. Can any of you say why we have been hiding?"
Natasha looked at the crowd, none of them appeared ready to speak but all of them were clearly giving their full attention to the man.
"Potter." The speaker said, Natasha's head almost snapped in his direction. "We've been hiding because of Potter, or 'Grim' as he apparently calls himself." The man seemed to be sneering under the mask.
"Do you know how many of us he has killed?!" One man shouted from the crowd.
"Yeah!" Another agreed. "He's not like Dumbledore or the Ministry, bribes, lies and false promises won't work on him. Those he doesn't kill he forces into unbreakable vows and magical oaths!"
"My cousin was found hanging from a tree!" Another cried. "I know it was Potter who did it and I am not risking him doing the same to me!"
"He's just a half-blood!" The speaker shouted. "He's not even half as old as Dumbledore or the dark lord! We can beat him, yes he is a powerful but that doesn't mean we have to fight him one on one."
"He's faced higher numbers in a fight before!" One person yelled.
"I once saw him kill people with a single piercing spell." Another shouted.
"Look," The speaker growled. "we can beat him if we work together! We are all purebloods! Pure blooded members of the dark lord's forces, surely we can beat one single half-blood brat!"
"You're going to die." One voice spoke, Natasha and everyone saw one man calmly walk through the crowd until he was at the front. "You'll be crying and begging for mercy." He said.
"Oh and Potter's going to make me beg?" The man scoffed in a disbelieving voice.
"Yes," The man said as he pulled down the hood of his robes, reveling some very mess black hair. He then pulled off his mask, his face was one that Natasha knew all to well, his green eyes opened and stared at the speaker. "I will."
"Potter!" The speaker gasped along with most of the hall as they all took a step back. "S… surrender," The speaker recovered and was now trying to sound brave. "you are outmatched and outnumbered." A second after he had said that the back of the hall burst open as a small army of people in black robes with their hoods up and shadows covering their faces rushed into the room and began firing at the Death Eaters.
Natasha watched as Harry had flicked his wrist and his wand came into his hand, he quickly raised it and shot down the six men in-between him and the speaker with impressive speed, only one of those men were able to get a shot off and had just narrowly missed Harry. The speaker had his wand out and aimed it at Harry, he fired a spell but Harry put up a shield which deflected it back at the man.
The man cursed as he fell to the floor with a broken knee, Harry walked over to him, he flicked his wand which sent the speakers wand far out of his hand.
"No… please!" The speaker whimpered
"I told you that you would beg." Harry whispered before a green light shout out of his wand and hit the speaker.
