Destiny Part III
Year: 5
"Even with all that's happened, I still missed this place," Saira said. "I think I might be able to walk up"
But she didn't take but two steps before nearly collapsing. Saira took Legolas' hand for support and they continued for a few more steps until he stopped them
"We probably shouldn't," he said staring at their hands disappointed
"You're right. I don't think teacher-student relationships are smiled upon. Nor students with 2,932 year old boyfriend?"
Saira let go but walked very close to him since her strength was not all there and her potion had run out and she was filled with pain. Saira though about what she'd just said and realized something
"So when exactly is your birthday?"
Legolas smiled like he did when he was amused with Saira
"Truth be told I'd have to think about it. After a thousand years of living, birthdays don't hold much meaning"
"I'd like to know"
"If I recall it I'll let you know. You need to go see Madam Pomfrey then go check in with Professor Dumbledore"
Saira nodded then looked ahead. She saw many new first years until she saw Dmitri and Aranel. Dmitri had returned to his bright blue hair color. Saira waved to get their attention with the arm opposite of her wound, but anything she did at this point caused her pain. When Dmitri saw her he let go of Aranel's hand and ran to Saira. He gave her a hug adding to Saira's uncomfortable state. Legolas noticed and forced Dmitri to let go.
"Sorry love, but it's good to see you well and up"
Aranel walked up and gave Saira a half hug after seeing Dmitri's display.
"Welcome back" she said
"Good to be back"
"So, love, where you headed?" Dmitri asked
"To see Madam Pomfrey. She'll be real happy to see me I suspect. You?"
"Class. Not sure which. I'm just following Aranel"
"Even though he doesn't even have the same class as me," Aranel pointed out
"Well we better get going then. Namaarie Saira"
"Namaarie"
The two of them left hand in hand and seeing them so happy made Saira smile. She and Legolas headed the rest the way to the hospital wing. Stairs were the worst for Saira. She wished Hogwarts had better means of transportation for the less able.
"Well I think this injury will keep me on the ground for awhile" Saira said as Legolas finally picked her up and carried her up the stairs.
"You say that now"
Madam Pomfrey was making up beds when they arrived. As Saira expected, she wasn't too pleased to see her but had a face showing she was expecting Saira.
"Well, what have you gotten yourself into now?" she asked removing the bandages
"Oh, the usual"
"With all that Elvish medicine, you couldn't heal-oh my! What on earth happened?" she said after removing them completely.
"I got hit by a sail"
She scoffed and muttered under her breath about how dangerous sailing was.
"I'll re-bandage it for now. You'll need to come take potions everyday for a week or until that clears up, alright?"
"Yes"
"Go see Professor Snape for a potion to kill the pain. I'm fresh out at the moment. I'm sure he'll oblige to his top student"
Saira nodded and left feeling slightly better. Legolas took her to Dumbledore's office next. As before the stone gargoyle opened hearing the correct password. Dumbledore was busy writing a letter when they walked in. Saira was gripping Legolas' hand harshly now because so much walking was now taking a toll.
"Ah, Miss Trinity. Right on time. Your things have already been taken to your dormitory and I have your schedule right here. I'm sorry to have to leave so sudden again but as you know, times are dark."
As before when she met him the first time, he picked up and unobtrusive object and disappeared.
"Okay, to Snape's, then class"
"Shall we?"
"Oh, I need to stop by my dorm too"
"What for?"
"All my school supplies" she stated
Saira found going down stairs much easier than going up. She knew they were nearing the dungeon because it was always freezing. Legolas waited outside as Saira walked in the classroom where Snape was giving a lecture to a bunch of first years. He saw her and stopped mid- sentence.
"Hello, Miss Trinity. You seem to be in the wrong class. I don't believe I have you until later this afternoon" he said
"Madam Pomfrey sent me to get some potion for pain."
"Pain? Come" he beckoned her to the front of the room. He handed her a vile of blue liquid.
"I'll send a batch up to Madam Pomfrey straight away"
Snape gave a rare smile to Saira before she left. As son as she was in the hall, she down half the vile and instantly felt better. She reached the Fat Lady to Gryffindor tower and realized she didn't know the password and there was no way she Lady would let Saira in because she still had resentment from the previous year.
"Uh-"
"Mimbulus mimbletonia" Legolas said
"How'd you know that" Saira asked as the portrait swung open
"Dumbledore"
"But he didn't-"
"Don't worry about it"
Saira gave him a perplexed look then went inside. Legolas stood in the doorway
"Are you a vampire or something? You need an invitation?" Saira said
Legolas coughed and followed her in. He waited in the common room for Saira to come down with her things. Saira pocketed her wand and grabbed her books. Grasping the rail tightly she made her way down.
"What class do you have?" he asked
"Transfiguration"
"Easy?"
"I'm a natural"
Saira followed Legolas toward the door but before he got to it Saira spun him around and grabbed the front of his shirt. She kissed him quickly but still full of passion then headed out the door as if she hadn't done anything.
"Okay" She made her way down the hall smiling broadly wondering if he'd risk anything now that they were back. Which he did because halfway down the hall he turned her around, tossed her books down and pressed up against her in a long kiss.
"Okay" he said "I'll be in my room if you need me"
Saira walked into Transfiguration and at first she didn't think anyone noticed until Liz, who was still facing the front, waved and motioned for her to sit down. Saira realized Liz must have known she was there when she kissed Legolas.
"Miss Trinity" McGonagall said, "Find your seat. I trust your friends will fill you in"
By the end of class Saira had mastered the Vanishing Spell and luckily did not receive homework as result since she'd also been gone for the first two days. She and all her friends from Dmitri to Harry had a little reunion in the hall on the way to Potions
"We've got loads to tell you Saira" Ron and Dmitri kept repeating.
When they arrived at Potions after giving Saira the quick and the ugly version of everything, everyone groaned but Saira who thoroughly enjoyed it.
"We're continuing with the Draught of Peace today" said Snape. Saira's heart lifted. She was afraid she would be behind but these were potions she'd learned back in Hyrule. "The ingredients and method are on the blackboard. Miss Trinity, if you need any help-"
"No, Professor, that's all right"
"I hope you realize the difficulty of this potion," he said
"Forgive me Professor but I've learned this one already. I assure you I am up to speed with the class. This is rather easy compared to some I've mixed as well"
A few gasps fell across the room and Aria swore someone had fallen out of their sear. Snape stared for a moment but wasn't surprised.
"Well, what is everyone waiting for? Begin"
Dmitri seemed to be the only not phased by what Saira had said. He knew all too well her skill in potions. Ever since he'd known her they fascinated her. Her skill, well screw up, was one major reason they escaped Ganondorf one time. Class was about to end and Dmitri pleaded with Saira
"Love, help"
But his potion was not savable. Snape was yelling at Neville so Saira to rid of Dmitri's potion and poured some of hers in it. Liz started laughing and Saira covered her mouth. However everyone else started laughing to. Even Harry, whose cauldron was bubbling over spilling everywhere laughed. Saira joined in.
Snape looked over at them curiously but couldn't find the source of their laughter. After class they all headed to Defense Against the Dark Arts. When Saira asked who the new teacher was, everyone got quiet and stopped laughing. Finally Dmitri answered.
"Professor Umbridge. It's cause of her I went fully blue again."
"She works for the Ministry of Magic" Hermione said better explaining. "Used to be Undersecretary to Fudge. She's a horrible teacher whose basic goal is to seize control of Hogwarts. We only learn theory and nothing else"
"How do they expect us to defend ourselves?" Saira asked
"They don't" Harry said
Saira looked at Harry. He looked angry and not at all how she remembered him the year before. She noticed redness on his hand. She could sense there was more wrong with this, 'Umbridge' person than was let on.
"Harry are you-" But the moment Saira put her hand on Harry's shoulder she began to have a vision.
She was in what she assumed to be Professor Umbridge's office. Harry was sitting at a table holding a black quill with a piece of parchment in front of him but no ink. Harry began to write and as he did the letters seemed to cut into the back of his hand. Saira came out of it and found herself in Dmitri's arms. She couldn't stand for a moment and grabbed her side as she winced in pain. However the pain didn't end with just her side but her hand as well had words outlined as if she'd been the one cut and her hand was bleeding. She stared at Harry for a moment before he turned and went inside the classroom at a loss for words.
Dmitri helped Saira inside and then they all took seats at the back of the classroom. She saw the new Professor sitting at the front and Saira couldn't find any other way to describe her except she was very toad-like. She automatically sensed something was not all good in this woman. The bell rang and Umbridge was about to say the assignment when she saw Saira.
"Um, dear, are you in the wrong class?" she asked in a surprisingly high-pitched voice. Saira heard every bit of the false sincerity in her voice. A few people snickered
"No, according to my schedule, this is where I'm supposed to be" Saira said as if it were obvious.
"What's your name?"
"Saira"
Saira turned to look at her friends and Umbridge noticed the 'pointiness' in Saira's ears.
"If you wouldn't mind dear, but please tell me where are you from?"
"Aren't you supposed to be giving us our work?" Dmitri asked
By the look on Umbridge's face, she was highly offended but Saira was betting it was his hair more than anything.
"Mr. Alone, what have I said about raising our hand? And I have a new student here. I would kindly ask you not to interrupt as I try to learn more about her"
"I'm originally from Hyrule, but I', currently living in Mirkwood" Saira answered
"With Mr. Greenleaf?" she asked
"Uma" -Yes-
"Why were you not in my previous classes?"
"Class" Dmitri corrected
"Quiet! Now Miss.?"
"Trinity. I have been absent because I was recently injured so immensely that I was unfit to return" Saira said
"How badly could you have been?" Umbridge asked
"However badly getting hit by a sail could be. Shall I show the class exactly how bad?" Saira suggested sarcastically
"Mm. That's quite alright. Now if you'll continue your reading in chapter one"
About half way through the class Saira was growing restless and bored. She raised her hand
"Yes?" Umbridge said with her false sweetness
"I'm curious, Professor, when will we actually be performing the defenses spoken of in the book?"
"I realize you have been absent but we've had this discussion and I'm not in the mood for a repeat"
"So, we're going to read. Nothing more? Seems pointless. How are we supposed to protect ourselves?"
"In this classroom you shouldn't need to"
"But if we don't practice here, we can't be ready for what's out there. What's the point of reading about it? We need to know how to perform these. And I guarantee there is plenty out there to need such defenses"
"Exactly my words, well not exactly, but the basic idea" Harry said standing up
"Mr. Potter you're in enough trouble with your lies. Now for the last time, there is nothing out there"
"Professor have you ever been to Hyrule? Have you even heard of Ganondorf or Voldemort? If you had you'd know we need to do more than read!" Saira yelled angrily
"That's enough. Detention Miss Trinity. Tonight after Mr. Potter's"
"Your intent to avoid answering my questions is very interesting" Saira said
"Miss Trinity, this is my class and if I hear another word, you will be joining Mr. Potter for detentions the rest of the week"
Saira said nothing because her side was wrenching with pain from getting so angry. After class she understood why everyone hated the new professor.
"Love, it's ironic, you tell me not to get a detention on my first day and you go and get one"
"Don't worry. Harry got a week's worth" Liz said
"Only for telling the truth" Harry chimed in
"Well I think you both need to control your tempers" Hermione said.
Harry and Saira both looked at her, then each other, but said nothing.
