In Through the Out Door
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Chapter 26
Sasporilla Bucket went east from Hogwarts until she reached the coast then traveled south until she reached the White cliffs of Dover at Dusk. Sassy flew down and landed in a field. She stepped off her broom and drew her wand.
"Occasum Sequor!" A caravan popped out from the tip of the broom, which proceeded to hang itself on the side.
Sasporilla walked up the step and opened the door into the Caravan. She was happy to be off the broom for a bit as her behind was hurting. She went into the kitchen put her bag up on the counter. Inside she had stored some flour, sugar and baking needs as well as fresh meat and eggs. Sassy had picked up some preserves and canned foods as well. For right now she was happy just to bite into an apple as she put the food away.
Sasporilla grabbed a nectarine from the fruit and walked into her bedroom. She laid down on the very comfortable over stuffed matters and in the quiet loneliness she wept.
****************************
Sasporilla was excited to finally write her O.W.L.s. Karry was shocked to see her friend come walking into the examination hall.
"What are you doing here?" Karry asked.
"Same as you." Sassy smiled. "Taking my O.W.L.s."
"How can you?" Karry asked perplexed. "You're just a fourth year?"
"A fourth year who managed to take fourth and fifth year classes while putting up with boy trouble and a Markebinden bracelet!" Sassy fluttered her eye lashes playfully.
"You are a wonder Sasporilla Bucket!" Karry said shaking her head. "You'll have to tell me how you managed it all, after the exams are over."
Sasporilla had spent the better part of this year alone with her thoughts, in her room at the end of the hall, studying and preparing for this moment.
Professor Slughorn over saw the O.W.L.s this year. He stood from his desk at the head of the hall.
"All right students." Professor Slughorn said. "When I say go, you may open your booklets and begin writing. Once the testing has begun there will be NO talking. IF you have any questions about clarification of anything on the test you will come to my desk. IF you require another quill you will come to my desk. IF you need to use the washroom the room of requirement is at your disposal. You may begin!"
The Hogwarts students opened their O.W.L.s
booklets and panic ensued. Sasporilla and Karry knew all the answers and raced to the end of the test, closing their booklets at the same time. The pair of girls sat there quietly as they awaited the end of the test.
"And that is time!" Professor Slughorn said. "Please ensure your names on are on your booklets and bring them up to the front and place them neatly in a pile on my desk."
"Ok you." Karry said to Sasporilla as they walked out of the testing hall. "Spill it! How did you manage all of this in one year?"
Sasporilla looked around to make sure no one was listening and then she told Karry everything from her request to do both years in one to the Headmistress to the final solution and her year of being alone.
**************************
Sasporilla Bucket sat in a small cafe near the Eiffel tower eating a croissant and drinking a luke warm glass of cola. She was just another girl in a crowd that no one really seemed to notice. She had a bit of difficulty understanding muggle money and probably left to much for the cheque but she rushed off and found a good alley way in which to mount her broom, cast her cloaking shield, and took off high into the skies above Paris France. Though a beautiful city she dared not stay to long in one place.
It was over Germany she saw a large camp of people with brooms. By the leathers and markings she knew they were broomers and wanted to avoid any trouble so she flew past to the next field where she found a small grove of trees. Sasporilla touched down and brought out her Caravan as the sun began to set. Sassy built a small fire pit and let her flame out to play. She sat by the fire watching her flame dance, wallowing in her sorrows.
Sasporilla was awoken the next morning by the sound of heavy boots on her stairs and a loud pounding at her front door.
"Das ist die Polizei. Du bist auf Privatgrundstück. Verlasse jetzt!" A voice shouted.
Sasporilla through on her clothes and held her hand behind her back. The last thing she needed was trouble with the Muggle police! She opened the door to See Penny Lane-Warrol laughing her head off surrounded by six very large Broomers.
"Penny!" Sasporilla laughed with relief. "You scared the life out of me!"
"No." An older broomer said. "I scared the life out of you because my daughter asked me to. I'm Chuck Warrol, Pennys Uncle."
"Pleased to meet you sir." Sasporilla smiled politely. "Would you all care to come in."
"Ya!" Penny said. "I love the caravan option on the 1200x."
The broomers stepped inside and sat at the kitchen table and on the small couch. In the living room.
"I'm afraid I haven't much to offer." Sasporilla apologized. "I do have tea and some fresh fruit if any one would like some?"
"Gentlemen." Chuck Warrol said. "Make some tea for us and let the young ladies talk."
The broomers got up and fixed the tea. Sasporilla had never seen so many Azkaban Angles in one place. That place being her kitchen!
"I thought it was you flying over yesterday evening." Penny said. "I saw the 1200x and the pink hair and though No way! But it is you! What are you doing here?"
"I'm traveling for the summer." Sasporilla said. "Around the continent. Maybe see some of Africa and Asia."
"Alone?" Penny asked shocked.
"I need the time alone to do my own thing I guess." Sassy said.
"Ya I get it." Penny smiled. "After the bracelet and the break up with Korry. I understand needing your space, but it's dangerous to ride alone. Very dangerous."
"I'll be ok." Sasporilla smiled shyly. "So what are you doing out here?"
"Oh! Tonight is the start of the Broomapalooza Music Festival!" Penny smiled. "Broomers from all over the world come here to listen to the music and do business."
"Oh." Sasporilla said as the Angels served them tea and cucumber sandwiches. "Thank you!"
"So do you want to stay with us in our camp and come to the festival with me?" Penny asked. "The band I love so much, CULT OF THE BLOOD MOON WOLF is playing."
"Oh cool." Sasporilla said thinking about it. This summer was to about new experiences and new places and things. She knew the dangers of hanging out with a bunch of broomers but frankly her and Penny would more than likely be the safest girls at the concert.
"Why not!" Sasporilla smiled.
"Great!" Penny hugged her friend. "Pack up and fly back with us to the camp. The guys will teach you how to align your broom for proper group camping."
"Your friend is joining us then?" Chuck Warrol asked.
"Yes Uncle Chuck." Penny smiled.
"Right then." Chuck circled his finger in the air and the boys cleared the tea. "Pack it up, we ride in five. Penny you and...?"
"Sasporilla Bucket Mr.Warrol." sassy smiled politely.
"Penny and Sasporilla will ride diamond center. Penny explain it to your friend. I will need two other volunteers to join Miss Bucket and my nieces detail."
"Detail?" Sasporilla asked Penny as they filed out of the caravan.
"A few of the lads to watch our backs while we have fun." Penny said. "So nobody messes with us or ties anything inappropriate."
"Cool." Sassy smiled. Once everyone was safely out of the caravan, Sasporilla flicked open the golden tip of her broom, pulling the magical shelter back inside. Sassy took her broom in hand and looked at Penny. "Ok what now?"
"We get into formation." Penny said. "First my uncle, then behind him his top two, then you and me with lad on the outside, two behind and then the Sky Captain behind. Normally ordinary witches like us would ride as passengers but as we are important people of note and respect, they fly in a protective honour guard around us."
"Wow." Sasporilla said. "It's all so complicated.
"You have no idea!" Penny sneered. "What ever you do, don't break formation and don't pass the people in front of you unless there's a problem!"
"Got ya!" Sassy said putting her goggles down over her eyes.
Chuck Warrol took off into the air followed in order by the rest who flew in a diamond pattern to the next field over. A large stage was now set up and there were easily one thousand times the broomers there today than were there last night. The troop set down in the main camp. A space had been made for Sasporillas caravan.
"Sasporilla." Chuck Warrol smiled. "You ride well. I'm impressed. Have you flown formation before?"
"No sir." Sassy said. "Not even in class."
"Do you know how to set up you caravan in a tight camp like this?" Chuck Warrol asked.
"No sir." Sasporilla said honestly. "I've just been casting it up wherever."
"At least your honest." Chuck smiled. "Ok you see how all of us have caravans parked in a circular pattern?"
"Yes sir." Sassy smiled.
"Imagine it like a wheel. The caravans are the rim of the wheel. You find the center point." Chuck pointed to a post sticking out of the ground with a glass orb on it. "That is our hub. Lay your broom down on the ground with the bristles just touching the post. Point it so the center of the front of your caravan will fit between the caravans on either side. Remember if you make a mistake and place your caravan into another persons it will do damage and no one will thank you for that!"
Sasporilla placed her broom on the ground. She adjusted and adjusted again. "How is that?"
Chuck walked over and gave it a quick eyeball using his Ebony and Bone thirteen inch wand as a guide.
"Your wand is beautiful sir." Sasporilla said. "Ebony and..." Sasporilla looked. "Oh my, human bone. Thirteen inches, my guess is unicorn hair core?"
"Remarkable." Chuck smiled. "And how would you know all of that by a glance?"
"Sasporilla's going to be a wand maker." Penny smiled.
"Oh ya?" Chuck said. "Well you seem to know your stuff. Your safe to set up your caravan. Good placement."
Sassy drew her wand and "Ocasum Sequar!"
The golden knob on the end of the broom popped open and the Caravan set itself almost perfectly between. The broom hanging itself up on the outside.
"Perfect!" Penny jumped for joy as her uncle and the lads walked away. "Now we're Neighbors!"
"That's great!" Sasporilla said. "Mr.Warrol?"
"Ya?" Chuck said stopping and looking over his shoulder.
"Thank you for your help and the invitation to join your camp." Sassy said. "Your wand needs basic maintenance and I have my kit. I can do that for you if you like. I need the practice."
"Ok." Chuck smiled. "I'll pop by some time."
"One word of advice." Penny said smiling taking her arm. "Never be alone with any of them! You always call me in if you need to deal with them ya? Even with my uncle."
