Set Pre Prisoner of Azkaban


Lennox and Abby

Lennox loved going on missions. Abby? Not so much.

In fact, she hated it more than anything else. After all, this mission included a free dive that was four hundred feet long. That's a scary ass equivalent to a forty-story skyscraper. So, any wrong move in the plan will result in a painful death of being eaten alive by Not So Little Mermaids. Plural.

But ultimately Osbournes do what they have to for family. Specifically, in this case, Lennox's mother, Ophelia, who is currently in a magically induced delusional state in a mental institute in Los Angeles. She has been like that for the past 13 years because the Certified Guaranteed Grade A for Asshole, *cough* Voldewhore *cough, cursed her. The remainingOsbournes, which is only about 5 teenagers and a muggle man only associated by marriage, have been trying to get her fixed ever since Harry practically shoved a photo-book, which contained pictures of Ophelia attending Hogwarts, all up in their face.

To anyone that would be nothing except in a picture, Ophelia was full on making out with James Potter. James Whatever-is-His-Middle-Name-Is Potter. As in the biological father of the Chosen One aka Harry Whatever-is-His-Middle-Name-Is Potter.

That led to them, *cough* Emery the Traitor *cough, guessing that the old geezer may or may not be the long-lost father of Lennox Osbourne, the infamous American troublemaker attending Hogwarts School of Magic and Blatant Discrimination.

After all, Ophelia didn't graduate Hogwarts. In fact, she abruptly left under suspiciously underinvestigated circumstances. And according to Lennox's birth certificate, Lennox's father is currently unknown. Thus, encouraging Emery to force Lennox into looking at the circumstances further. If all goes well, according to Emery's ridiculously high standards, the theory will be answered and hell will be paid.

Normally, fixing Ophelia would be at the bottom of their list to do, but if Ophelia was the key to figuring out exactly why Voldewhore has been coming after Lennox specifically for the past two school years, then it would be worth it.

But, boy did it get real violent when Harry started yelling at The Osbournes about the scandalous photo. Poor little Potter didn't know that Malakai hates to be yelled at by anyone really even teachers. Needless to say, a new disease called 'These Hands' was going around Hogwarts and the Golden Snitch Bitch got it. Two days in the infirmary sure taught him to stay away from ferocious beasts.

Also, in other lame news, Ophelia, while she was making out with the Chosen One's father, had a grimoire with her. There was a symbol plastered on the front cover of it that was an exact replica to all the Next Gen Osbournes' palm tattoos. Apparently, Emery, the self-proclaimed leader of the Next Gen, decided it was worth further investigating if it led to valuable answers. Proserpina then seconded it and Abbigail got too caught up in the hype that she third it. That resulted in Lennox and Malakai being outvoted by democracy in action. And as aspiring dictators, they did not take it well.

Sure the palm tattoo was one of the Seven Wonders they hoped to understand, but to do it in a way that would reveal the already complicated parentage of Lennox was just wrong. She was just starting to open up to her cousins about her crappy childhood in the American foster care system and the brief cult stint due to her mother's absence. Now, she was expected to face the woman that was the author of that God awful childhood. Luckily, she had Malakai, who is her ride or die, through and through. Unlike some people.

That issue was briefly set aside because was Lennox kidnapped by a giant snake all thanks to, you guessed it, Voldewhore. Even with every magical fireball she launched at it and every siphoning she tried on the serpent's magical ass, nothing happened. Not even a single dent occurred. In fact, the stupid creature thought it was a freaking game. It tried to eat each fireball Lennox threw at it and blow the freaking smoke all up in her face. She smelled like burnt barbeque for days. Luckily, Harry was there to kill the beast while Lennox was left with a broken leg and heavily mortified due to being in a pile full of bones. Nonetheless, Emery decided to check the Chamber of Secrets the day after Lennox's traumatic experience with Lennox's dog, Reaper.

Now, Reaper is a cross breed of a hellhound and a descendant of Horkew Kamuy's wolves. Not to get to into his mythology, but basically, he protects any branch of death all the while aiding his companions. Many are scared of Reaper considering the fact that he's an albino wolf with blood red eyes. He looks like the living embodiment of murder, but Lennox thinks he's just a big old ball of cuddles and love. And Emery can't help but agree every time she looks in those wise old soul hybrid wolf eyes.

It's not a shocker that Emery used Lennox's state of injury as a way to temporary steal Reaper away from her. Hell, he even proved himself to be useful while at the Chamber of Secrets by guiding Emery into checking out a wall. Apparently, one of the energy pulsars Lennox shot at the Basilisk fractured Salazar Slytherin's face allowing a piece of the wall behind it to shine through. Emery and Reaper spent the whole day carefully breaking the statue apart only to find a gold and silver map of an isolated island with the Osbourne symbol edges on top of it. The map leads to the missing dispell ring given to Lancelot by the Lady of the Lake. Aka the perfect artifact to bring Ophelia out of her coma.

Using the coordinates provided by a little blood reveal from all 5 Osbournes, Emery was able to calculate where the island was. It was in the middle of the freaking Pacific ocean. Yet, somehow it wasn't documented anywhere in existence. Meaning that it could very well still be there.

And that's what lead to Abbigail and Lennox's current predicament.

"Are we seriously going to dive in a siren infested cave to find a magical artifact that may or may not be there that may or may not bring your extremely dangerous mother back from a 13-year long Wonderland coma?" Abbigail asked. The worry in her voice was present, but Lennox chose to ignore it. Mostly because she doesn't take others' feelings into consideration when on a mission. That was just too much work and Lennox barely does the minimum amount as it.

Lennox just huffed out her annoyance. "No, we're not going to dive in a siren infested cave to find a magical artifact that may or may not be there that may or may not bring your extremely dangerous mother back from a 13-year long Wonderland coma."

Abbigail's sighed in relief. "Whoo! That's great news."

"It's just you."

"Wait. What?"

Lennox handed Abby a bag for her to secure the ring in once retrieved. "Oh C'mon, Abby. Live a little. I'm sure this will be a good tale to tell to our grandchildren. We'll be laughing about this in no time."

Yup, that was heard right. Lennox bullshitted her way to care about a mission by thinking about a silver lining. Truth is, Lennox could give less of a crap about Ophelia. She just lied because Abbigail needs high reassurance of everything or she'll freak out. And the last time Abbigail freaked out she accidentally snorted cocaine.

Plus, she sort of owes Emery, well, everything currently good in her life. Emery might be a bitch when she wants to be, but she is Lennox's family. Lennox would literally die and kill for Emery if she had to. That's how deep their bond of trust was.

"Are we seriously not going to talk about this because I think we should have a long and thorough discussion," Abbigail tried to stall. "I mean this is pretty serious. I could die."

"You can die anytime and anywhere. Why is this different?"

Abbigail looked at her little cousin like she was crazy. "Because this is insane, Lennox! I can't even see the bottom of this flipping cave. We don't even know if there is a lake at the bottom of this cave. Literally, nothing in this plan is solid."

"Look, this whole island is enchanted to preserve whatever is hidden in it," Lennox informed. "And I know you can feel it because I can. That means that whatever is in there will be there unless another Osbourne was, but there hasn't been."

"That we know of."

"We are literally in the middle of freaking nowhere. We have to give like a pint of our blood to a super secret map in a super secret lair. A map, by the way, isn't in any medis or magic book with this exact location. Hell, even Thaddeus was surprised this location even existed. So, just shut the hell up and you'll be fine."

Abbigail gave her little cousin a bright grateful smile. Lennox was known to be the pessimist of the group, but sometimes she really came through. And for that Abby was deeply grateful.

"Hopefully."

Aaaaaand it went away.

Abbigail punched Lennox on her shoulder. "Dude."

"'secuse me, hoe, but I'm brutally honest. Apparently to Professor Wanna-Be-Osbourne prophet that is my fatal flaw. And last time I check your hyperactive ass volunteered for this. Soooo, I highly suggest you revert to whatever hell that person was and do this shit. Because I'm not. I'm crippled."

Lennox dramatically pointed at her left leg fully wrapped in a muggle brace. The Basilisk got a little too happy because after like a million years someone was finally "playing" with it. The thing knocked Lennox off a pillar inevitably completely breaking her leg to the point of possible amputation.

"Easy for you to say. You're not the one doing it and even if you could, you wouldn't. You're not going under to retrieve this magical um...uh...what the fuck was it again?"

Lennox faced palmed. Abbigail had the memory of a God damn goldfish and it was starting to tick her off.

"For the last time, it is a cabochon with an enchanted metallic band," Lennox answered. Noticing the look of utter confusion she decided to dumb it down. "A ring, Abby. It's a ring. A magical ring."

Abby nodded fiercely. "Right, right, right. The Lady of the Lake ring. Gotcha. Totally got it locked up in the old noggin'" Abby looked down at the opening of the underground cave. There still was no bottom seen. This made her siren senses start tingling all over her body which caused her to internally panic.

"Soooooo, I just gotta swim in this cave. This deep deep cave. Infested with real sirens. All alone. In the dark. By myself. All alone. For you."

Lennox rolled her eyes at Abby's bad attempt at stalling. "Just get in, get the gem, swim as fast as you can. Shoot a light from your wand or palm and I'll help you up and we'll get on our way."

Abby shook her head, thinking about every worse possible scenario that could occur down there. "Sorry, Lennox. I can't do this. I'm outta here."

But before Abbigail could leave, Lennox forcefully grabbed her cousin and pushed her down the cave fully knowing that halfway down her Osbourne instincts would kick in and she'll survive the fall.

Hopefully.
