In Through the Out Door
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Chapter 23
Sasporilla sat on her bed alone in the Hufflepuff dorm room playing her moms guitar. Karry had asked her mom to send it to the school so Sassy could play it at least one more time before undergoing the surgery to remove her hand and get rid of the Markebinden bracelet. Besides everyone had nicked out to Hogsmead today. Korry had taken Maddy to Honeydukes for sweet treats. Sasporilla laughed and felt bad at the hope Madrigal Neelander got fat.
Sasporilla played for hours just wanting to feel the strings under fingers. Occasional, when ever Sassy played an E minor chord, the bracelet vibrated slightly. She remembered the music at the tournament.
"When is a key not a key if it's both in key and not in key?" Sasporilla mused. "Music?"
Sasporilla strummed an E chord. Nothing. Then she strummed an E minor chord. The Markebinden bracelet vibrated slightly.
Sasporilla ran to the library carrying her guitar.
"Professor Pince!" Sasporilla yelled. "Professor Pince!"
"Shhhhhhhhh!" Miss Pince whispered. "Library voices Miss Bucket."
"I'm sorry mam but I need your help!" Sasporilla said holding up her wrist. "I may have found the key!"
"How can I help?" Miss Pince asked.
"I need a chord chart for all keys of E." Sassy said.
They searched the library for a couple of books of complete guitar chords. They flipped through untill they found the chords the searched for in the Key of E.
"I'll need to play Miss Pince." Sassy cringed.
"This is a special case dear." Professor Pince smiled. "Go ahead."
Sasporilla tried every chord in the key of E and got little to no response. Then she tried the key of E minor and had much better results. The chord of E minor seventh in the key of E minor created a resonance that made the Markebinden bracelet vibrate violently. However nothing seemed to open it.
"Perhaps it's a combination of the notes?" Miss Pince said.
"Maybe." Sasporilla said. "That seems like a lot of combinations are possible."
"Millions I'm afraid." Professor Pince said. "Maybe a lot more."
"Well if I could borrow this book," Sassy smiled, "I'll work combinations."
"Normally as this is a muggle book and very rare I'd have to say no but your circumstance is quite extraordinary so I will allow it." Professor Pince smiled.
Weeks passed. Sasporilla played every day until her fingers bled. The best she could get the bracelet to do was vibrate. Sassy became extremely frustrated.
"Knock, knock!" Karry said. "Got a sec?"
Sasporilla sighed and put the guitar off to the side of her bed. "Come on in."
"Any luck?" Karry asked.
"No." Sasporilla said. "Same as always. I can make it vibrate but can't get the bracelet off."
"We'll figure it out." Karry smiled.
"I hope so." Sasporilla said. "Uncle Nick is due in tonight."
"I hate to do this but can I change the subject?" Karry asked.
"Of course." Sassy smiled welcoming a distraction. "Everything ok?"
"Yes everything is great." Karry smiled. "In fact everything is amazing! Zac bought a small house in Hogsmead for us to live in."
"You're moving in together?" Sassy gasped.
"Well it's not exactly like that." Karry said. "His guardian Cabbie Patel will be there as well. We'll have separate bedrooms for now. It gives us a place of our own to live in. It's legal once we're sixteen."
"So you won't be home this summer?" Sassy asked.
"No." Karry said. "Maybe for a visit. Mom's not thrilled about it but as I'll be sixteen she has no real say."
"Wow." Sasporilla said. "This is a big step."
"Very." Karry smiled. "I'm ecstatic, elated and terrified all at the same time."
"Well I'm always here for you." Sassy said.
"I know." Karry said. "I have other news as well."
"Your not????" Sassy asked waging her finger in a circular motion at friends tummy.
"No!!!" Karry laughed. "I have no plans for children for a very long time. Maybe never. I've decided I want to be a teacher. I'll have plenty of children to deal with. No what I wanted to tell you was the potion is ready!"
"Really?" Sassy smiled.
"Korry and Maddy are down stairs with Zac. They're waiting for you." Karry said. "If you're ready?"
Sasporilla stood up and straightened her robes. "As ready as I'll ever be."
Sasporilla and Karry went down stairs to the main hall where Zac watched over Korry Curtiss and Madrigal Neelander.
"Hi Sassy." Maddy waved.
Korry looked up and smiled. "Hey you."
"Hey you." Sasporilla smiled hopeful.
Karry pulled a small red bottle from her robe pocket and held it up in front of her brother.
"This is it." Karry said. "You close your eyes, drink the whole thing down all at once, and it should take effect as soon as you open your eyes."
"Ok then." Korry said taking the bottle closing his eyes and drinking the potion down. He could feel the last bit of fog in his mind and all shreds of doubt disappeared. He opened his eyes. Korry handed his twin sister the empty red bottle.
"How do you feel." Karry asked.
"Clear headed." Korry said. "The best I've been all year and I know very clearly who I love and who I choose."
Both girls held their breath. Korry looked at both of them and took Zac's hands.
"I love Zac!" Korry said.
"Bugger off you git!" Zac laughed.
Korry burst into laughter as Karry smacked him on the back of the head.
"What?" Korry laughed. "I want him to buy me a house too!"
He did really seem like the old Korry. Sasporilla stood very hopeful as Korry turned and took her hands.
"Sasporilla." Korry said a bit sadly. "When you kissed me you cleared my head of ninety nine percent of the bewitchment but I could still feel that tickle at the back of mind. I really, really like you, but what I felt for Madrigal seemed deeper. I needed to take this potion to clear it all out and know for sure. Now I know."
Sasporilla knew what was coming. She looked down at the floor.
"I'm sorry Sassy," Korry said turning to Maddy who gasped in disbelief. "Maddy I love you. Really love you. No bewitchment, no spells."
Korry moved forward and kissed Madrigal deeply. The pendant fell off its chain and shattered on the hall floor. Maddys transformation was complete and she had found her soul mate.
"Sassy I..." Karry said turning to where her friend had been, but Sasporilla Bucket was no where to be found.
