In Through the Out Door
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Chapter 14
Lyra spent the next couple of days casting every protection spell she could think of on to the house number four Castle road. It was obvious the Vampire Master knew where Lyra had been and came for her. It wasn't clear if he knew who Sasporilla was. If he was looking to hurt Nick, going after Sassy would definitely be the right way. As if the poor kid hadn't seen enough tragedy and danger in her young life.
It was busy afternoon. The girls all wanted something special to go to the concert in. The boys were not invited as they had the DWG dueling event go to anyway. Sasporilla looked at some new things but was perfectly happy with clothes she had. She wasn't getting all dressed up. She picked out a nice pair of black jeans from her closet, put on a warm cable knit jumper with a camisole underneath and her leather jacket and boots. As they were all flying in by broom she thought it only appropriate.
"I don't understand why the boys need the minivan?" Karry protested. "It's too bloody cold to fly!"
"You know very well your father can't fly a broom because he's a muggle." Mrs.Curtiss said. "So suck it up my delicate little butter cup. Bundle up and you'll be fine."
Sasporilla invited Lyra and Mrs.Curtis, Karry her best friend in the world, Penny Lane-Warrol who said she would meet them there, and Madrigal Neelander.
"And I can't believe you invited Maddy!" Karry yelled at Sasporilla who was checking over a couple of special features of her broom.
"I invited Madrigal because she is still our friend and none of this is really her fault is it?" Sasporilla said.
"I personally think you have chosen to be very mature about it Sasporilla." Mrs.Curtiss said. "I for one am proud of you."
"Ya besides," Lyra smiled. "Six of us go to show, five come back, who's to say what can happen."
"Stop it Lyra." Sasporilla said. "Honestly, you're encouragable!"
Sasporilla saw in her manual that settings
4. Calor which created a lovely constant bubble of heat around the broom at a lovely twenty two degrees Celsius & 5. Tempest which created a protective bubble to repel inclement weather, could be cast together!
Madrigals two older brothers flew their baby sister to the Curtiss house. The others were outside waiting for when she arrived.
"I hope I didn't keep you waiting long?" Maddy appologized.
"Not at all dear." Mrs. Curtiss said. "I'm Kolleen Curtiss, Karry and Korrys mother."
"Nice to see you again mam." Madrigal smiled. "We met at Sasporillas birthday party last summer."
"Oh my that was you?" Kolleen laughed. "Well you really have blossomed haven't you?"
Madrigal smiled politely but felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Look." Maddys older brother said. "We know there's a bit of tension with our sister and one of you. We just want to make sure there's no trouble. So we'll ride along with ya if that's ok?"
"Sure is." Sasporilla said. "Long as you can keep up! Occasum Calor Tempest"
The brooms took off into the night air and headed for London. Sassy was warm and comfy in her bubble but Karry did not look happy. Lyra cast a warming spell on the frozen young witch and it helped a bit. Mrs.Curtiss' broom had the same map direction feature as Sassys so they all followed along straight to the Albert Hall.
The witches landed in a lot for broom parking. The attendant gave each of them a ticket to claim their brooms after the show.
"T1200x." The attendant said. "Nice ride for a young lady."
"I like it." Sasporilla said wary of the shady looking fellow.
"Yes she has a great ride." Penny Lane-Warrol said. "These are my friends. Understand cousin Michael."
"Crystal clear." The attendant smiled. "You ladies have a great night."
"Michael Warrol?" Lyra asked.
"Who's askin'." Pennys cousin asked.
"JDI Lyra Lee-Ashwolf." Lyra said. "You still ride with Casey Reese?"
"Ya." He said carefully.
"Say hi for me." Lyra smiled. "Been a few years since we've, touched base."
"Right." The man said quickly moving on to help the next customers.
"Ok now that the brooms are sorted and everyone's here." Sasporilla said. "Here are your back stage passes and tickets."
Maddys brothers smiled at her as they flew off. "They're so over protective. I told them I'd be ok."
The girls were so excited. They were going to get to go to a real rock and roll show and see what happens behind the scenes.
They went to the front doors and a roadie for the band whisked them away back stage.
The wings were a flurry of activity. Last minute changes, fixes for problems and general chaos abounded as they were taken back to Myron Wagtails dressing room.
The roadie knocked on the partially open door. "Myron. Everyone decent in there."
"Ya." Myron Wagtail shouted back. "What's up."
"Girl guides to sell you some cookies." The Roadie laughed.
Myron opened the door and hugged Sasporilla tight. "I am so happy to see you."
"I'm happy to see you to D... Myron." Sasporilla smiled.
"So introduce me to your friends." Myron Wagtail smiled.
"Oh I'm sorry." Sassy smiled. "These are my friends Karry Curtis, Lyra Lee-Ashwolf, Maddy Neelander and Penny Lane-Warrol and Karrys mum Mrs.Kolleen Curtiss."
Everyone said hi and accepted a kiss on the hand from the most gallant performer.
"Ok I have to finish getting ready for the show." Myron said. "You can leave your coats and things in here and my assistant Marjorie will take you out to your seats. We'll get together after the show for a chin wag ya?"
"You bet." Sassy smiled.
"Enjoy the show ladies." Myron smiled.
The ladies were treated to the best seats in the house, front row center. Lyra sat between Sasporilla and Penny quite purposefully.
"So your Pensive Lane-Warrol?" Lyra asked.
"Yes." The young witch answered. "But I prefer Penny professor."
"You can drop the Professor tonight." Lyra smiled. "I'm just one of Sassys friends here to rock and roll."
"Ok." Penny said.
"You know I put some of your family in Azkaban?" Lyra said. "Well me and my partner Sasporillas uncle Nick."
"I didn't know that." Penny said stiffening a bit. "Did you know, that though most of my family are Azkaban angels and more than half of them are in prison for their despicable deeds, that I hold no illusions of who and what they are and am nothing like them?"
"That," Lyra smiled, "is really good to know."
Karry sat on the other side of Sasporilla beside her mother and Maddy on the far end.
"I'm glad we have this chance to talk Mrs.Curtiss." Madrigal said.
"I'm happy to dear." Kollen smiled. "What's on your mind?"
"I really like your Korry." Maddy said. "But so does Sasporilla, and I don't want to come between them... but."
"Well." Kolleen said. "My son has the right to date who he wants and love who he wants. I know Sassy very well and loved her mom better than my own sister. I don't really know much about you but I'm sure I will get to know you. You seem like a nice girl, as nice as Sasporilla but not quite as mature."
"Well I under went the..." Maddy began.
"Yes dear I know all about it!" Kolleen smiled. "So I know upstairs your still very much twelve while the rest of you sixteen or so."
"Yes mam." Maddy said. "And I don't want any boys love if it's the result of bewitchment."
"The Asenamourus potion doesn't exactly bewitch the boys dear." Kolleen said quietly. "It only boosts your own natural attractions. It is meant to weed out the boys who aren't right for you and find your soul mate. You see that's why less and less boys followed you around as the weeks past and why only my son stayed. According to the potions effects, you and Korry may be meant to be together."
"Really?" Maddy smiled then looked over at Sasporilla sadly. "But that will break my friends heart."
"Saddly yes." Kolleen said. "And it may end your friendship with her. That depends on how you two handle things."
"You really know a lot about this Mrs.Curtiss." Maddy questioned.
"Yes I do." Kolleen said looking to see if Karry was listening. "Let's just say I met Mr.Curtiss in the summer before my second year."
The lights dimmed and the a voice quietly announced. "Ladies and gentlemen, Myron Wagtail."
Myron walked out on to stage in a suit and tie wearing glasses. People were noticeably shocked at the transformation. He started off with his first solo hit before the Weird Sisters, Modern People. It started soft and quiet and by the end the entire Albert hall was on their feet dancing.
After dancing for three or four songs Sasporilla found the concert hall warm and took off her jumper. The camisole she wore was not sheer and really more of a crop top anyway. It made her look very rock and roll.
"How many people here liked the Weird Sisters song 'Pretty in pink'?" Myron asked.
The audience cheered.
"How many of you saw that it was dedicated to my good friend Sasporilla Imaginarium Bucket!" Myron asked.
The audience cheered again.
"Who would like to meet her?" Myron smiled holding out his wand.
The crowd erupted with thunderous applause. Sassy turned beat read and shook her head as Myron nodded levitating the pink haired witch up onto stage. Sassy covered her face.
"She's a bit shy." Myron said.
"Wow she's hot!" Some random boy yelled.
Sasporilla peeked out and the crowd erupted with applause again. Sassy waved and smiled. Myron started to sing. Karry was loosing her mind so excited for her friend. Myron started levitating the girls up onto stage.
"Her best friends!" Myron said.
Sassy and Karry danced joyfully on stage as the others joined them.
When it came time for the chorus Myron encouraged the girls to sing with him. Everyone beamed at Sasporilla Bucket, for tonight, she was the luckiest girl in the world.
After the show there was a party back stage that threatened to go until the wee hours of the morning. Myron got a second to speak with Sassy alone and he seized it.
"My gosh you're growing up so fast." Myron smiled. "You remind me so much of your mother."
"Thank you." Sasporilla said. "I do miss her."
"So tell me what's happening with this Korry situation. Is the girl Maddy with you tonight the same girl?" Myron asked concerned.
"Yes." Sasporilla said. "If Korry hadn't been busy with his dad I'd have asked him to come but he was so I asked Maddy."
"That's very nice of you." Myron smiled.
"Yes very mature I'm told." Sasporilla sighed. "These days the spell might be broken, we're not quite sure. He says he likes us both a lot but needs time to see who he loves."
"Sasporilla listen to me." Myron smiled. "Any young man who needs to think about whether to love you or another girl, has already made up his mind." Myron frowned.
"I'd say cut him loose and move on."
"Problem is I love him." Sasporilla said teary eyed.
"Oh my dearest Sasporilla." Myron said hugging the young witch. "The first love is the hardest to get over. Especially an unrequited one."
"Did you get over yours?" Sassy asked.
"As it was your mother I can safely say the answer is No." Myron said. "I never did."
As the party became a little less child friendly Mrs.Curtiss announced to the girls it was time to get going. Penny was escorted home by members of her family. The girls flight home was colder than the flight in. They were escorted for a while by Maddys brothers who broke off near there home.
"See you at school!" Maddy waved.
"Have a safe ride home." Sasporilla smiled.
Karrys gesture was most unlady like but nobody but Lyra saw it who burst into laughter. It was around Eleven P.M. when they landed on the Castle Road.
"We had a great time Sassy thanks!" Karry said hugging her best friend.
"You're welcome I wouldn't have wanted to go with out you." Sasporilla smiled.
"Yes thank you Ms.Bucket!" Kolleen smiled. "That was a most enjoyable evening."
"It was great wasn't it?" Lyra said. "Girl you got some seriously good friends around you. I know you don't always feel it but you are blessed."
"Blessed and cursed at the same time." Sassy smiled holding up her wand. "I'm a Conflicator, just like my wand."
Lyra spent the next couple of days casting every protection spell she could think of on to the house number four Castle road. It was obvious the Vampire Master knew where Lyra had been and came for her. It wasn't clear if he knew who Sasporilla was.
