A/N: SO a few things before we start.
This is an eighth year fic.
Yes there is an OC. Yes this is also a everyone ends up with how they are in the canon except Draco and my OC.
When you meet Sir Lander of Donegal, think of Simon Pegg doing his Scottish accent in Star Trek.
Sirius is alive because Harry took a chance at finding Snape before they left. Harry then took the lessons with Snape seriously and they grew a tolerable bond, but Snape still takes points because the guy has a rep to protect.
Fred is still alive because of one of his pranks blew up in the death eaters face. George immediately took every prank and they made one big ass bomb.
Snape is still alive because of Hermione's quick thinking.
Lucius now takes great pride in apprehending and taking out all his anger on the death eater's he hunts.
Malfoy's turned to the light, but Draco is still a git.
McGonagall is Headmistress and Snape is Deputy Headmaster.
If you want to Beta for me, send me a note, that'd be amazing.
She was ice cold, people rushing around her in a fit. Everything was a blur to her, and she watched as the day slowly turned to night. Then her blood began to boil and she broke out into a sweat. She leaned over the bed she was occupying and blood spilled out of her mouth. It was only the second night of this curse, and it would only get worse. She knew she had to get away, to save herself, to save her brother. She knew if she left, her brother's sibling bond to her would break and he wouldn't be in the same boat through their bond. She slipped out of the bed and walked to her bedroom. She put everything she might need in a large trunk, from potions to books. She shrunk it with a flick of her hand. At least that was a plus side to this blasted curse. She quietly walked to the library where the port key door was hidden. It was a portal that would take you wherever your mind was.
Take me to where my mate is to this curse. Take me to him. She thought to herself in a mantra like state. She opened the key and jumped in just as she heard her name being screamed.
"BONNIE!"
Hagrid heard twigs snapping and the familiar and distant sound of hooves pounding against the earth. He went outside his hut to find four centaurs coming into view quickly from the forbidden forest. As they came closer, he realized the centaur in the front was carrying something in his arms.
"Magorian; is tha' you?" Hagrid called out and soon realized the centaur was carrying a girl.
"It is I Hagrid. The stars led Bane to this girl, and Venus shines down upon her. You must keep her safe. She is in grave danger should the evil find her. Take her to the castle at once, the fever will come and go with the freezing cold. Leave her be, and the curse will run its course. The heart in this one beats strong." Hagrid listened to the centaurs' speech before they deposited the girl into his arms and galloped away before he could get in a word.
The girl had leaves pressed on random parts of her skin, probably because of the centaurs, and was ice cold to the touch. She had blood staining the cut off shirt she wore, her stomach and shorts she wore. Her black hair was knotted with dried blood, and he did as the centaurs asked and hurried to the castle.
Classes had ended and everyone was piling into the Great Hall for dinner. Harry was glad he let Hermione bully him into being an eighth year. The homework and stares he could live without; but starting over, and knowing Voldemort was never coming back was well worth it.
"Hey mate, do you think McGonagall will let us be on the Quidditch team this year?" Ron asked mouth stuffed with potatoes which earned him a swipe from Hermione.
"Ron, swallow before you speak, or you'll end up choking." Hermione chided only to make Ron swallow and give her a sheepish grin. He was happy his best friends had finally got together; especially after all they had been through. Ginny was on his right and held his hand under the table. He smiled at her and gave her hand a squeeze. Life was perfect and normal, and he was happy there were going to be no surprises this year. A weight had finally lifted itself from his shoulders.
"I don't know Ron. Would be nice to play again-" Harry said but cut himself off, "Hang on, where's Hagrid?" Harry pointed out noticing he wasn't sitting in his usual place. This got everyone else's attention around them as they all looked to the front table. After all, it was impossible to miss the half-giant. Harry looked towards the doors of the hall when gray eyes locked onto his. Draco was sitting amongst his friends, but even they had noticed Hagrid's disappearance. That is until the man himself ran into the hall; completely out of breathe with a limp body in his arms.
"McGonagall," Hagrid rasped out, and the teachers quickly ran from their places. A few girls screamed when they stood on the tables to get a better look.
"There's blood!" Someone yelled out and Harry immediately stood up along with his friends. When they tried to take the girl from Hagrid he refused and they all hurried to the hospital wing, Madame Pomfrey leading the way. Everyone settled down into loud murmurs while the few professors stayed behind to gain control of the student body.
"Did anyone know who that was?" Harry asked after Ginny pulled him back down onto the bench. At the chorus of no's from everyone, Harry rubbed his face. So much for the quiet year, he thought to himself as the hall settled back down into eating and gossiping about the mysterious girl.
"What happened?" Madame Pomfrey asked urgently after Hagrid set the frozen girl down on one of the beds. She began running diagnostic spells as McGonagall, Snape, and Slughorn all looked at the girl in shock.
"I was jus' mindin' my own business when Magorian an' three other centaurs appeared with 'er." And he proceeded to tell the other Professors what Magorian said to him.
"My word, the centaurs have never been fond of humans." McGonagall commented after Hagrid sat in a seat she conjured up. Slughorn handed him a large glass of water which he drank gratefully.
"If that is the case," Snape drawled walking over to the other side of the unconscious girl staring down at her. "Then why is it they not only carried her to Hagrid, but were also concerned with her safety." Snape looked doubtful of the centaurs' words, but there was something odd about the entire situation. Suddenly Pomfrey huffed in annoyance, surprising everyone in the room.
"What is it Poppy? What's wrong?" McGonagall asked coming up behind her looking at the girl lying frozen on the bed. The sun once again began to set casting shadows in the hospital wing.
"That's the problem, other than the girl's freezing temperature; she's fit as a fiddle." The sun set and the girl lurched up and vomited blood right in front of Pomfrey. Snape leaned to grab her, but she promptly fell to floor in a great heap in the pool of blood she had just vomitted. The three professors hurried to place the girl back on the bed as Horace and Hagrid stood in shock.
"My god, she burning up! She was just as cold as ice." McGonagall commented after they all got her on the bed. Poppy cleaned up the blood with a flick of her wrist.
"Severus, get me a Blood-Replenishing Potion, and something to help her fever." Poppy ordered as she quickly removed the leaves and did more spells on the girl lying as she sweated profusely. Snape was back with the potions which Poppy spelled to her stomach. Snape handed her a few more potions, which took no effect on her.
"Her fever won't break. That last potion was supposed to induce vomiting." Snape drawled out, and even he had paled at the lack of response.
"There is something gravely wrong with this poor child." Horace commented gravely as he stared at her. All the blood drained from Hagrid's face as a blood curdling scream ripped from the girl's throat. She grabbed Severus's arm in a death like grip as she began convulsing as if she were under the Cruciatus curse. Snape, Pomfrey, and McGonagall all held her convulsing body down which only last a minute. Suddenly, her body went limp except for the twitching in her upper body. Her hand released Snape as he got more potions.
For the next few hours they all stayed and conversed what could have possibly happened to the girl.
"Magorian mentioned a curse." Hagrid mentioned, Horace had left to roam the halls to make sure no students were out.
"I've never heard of any spell or sort that made the person vomit blood." The four professors were at a loss.
"He also sai' it would only las' for five days." Hagrid repeated, and Poppy patted his hand attempting to comfort him.
"There is no more we can discuss for tonight. We shall all retire for the evening, and hope tomorrow the child is better." McGonagall stated and everyone retired for the night.
The next morning, nothing had changed. She would be ice cold all day, vomit blood at sun rise, and sun set, and be in a feverish sweat all night. Nothing changed until the sixth morning. When Poppy came to the Hospital wing from her personal quarters that morning to check on the still unconscious child, she found the entire infirmary frozen over in a thick layer of ice. She sent her patronus off to the Headmistress in hopes they would get there soon.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron where helping Neville to the Hospital wing when they found it covered in ice, McGonagall, and Snape attempting to break through it with fire and hexes alike.
"What are you boys doing here?" Madame Pomfrey suddenly exclaimed, causing the Professors to seize their hexing to stare at the four students.
"Neville took a nasty spill in the boys' bathroom and dislocated his shoulder Professor McGonagall." Hermione quickly replied while the other boys stared at the ice covered wall.
"Come here Neville I'll get you fixed up real quick, you three stay back." Pomfrey warned as she took Neville into a room they had to conjure for students because the wing was inaccessible.
"Bloody hell," Ron said after the surprise wore off.
"What happened?" Harry asked though they didn't get closer. Whatever Madame Pomfrey says is law, and no one ever disobeys her unless you want to face her wrath.
"Did that mysterious girl do this?" Hermione said curiosity filling every inch of her. McGonagall and Snape looked at one another as if they were debating whether or not to tell them.
"I think you three should go to-" McGonagall started before an audible crack was heard and the ice began disappearing at an alarming rate. The ice turned into a blue fire which only lasted a minute before turning into a fog seeping back into the room. However, before they had a chance to reach the door, there was a glow emitting from inside the hospital wing. The glow vanished and a powerful magical burst was sent out enough to knock over everyone standing outside the wing and shook the entire school like an earthquake.
Draco grabbed the wall to steady him, and looked at his two friends who did the same. They waited for the rumbling to end before slowly letting the wall go.
"What the bloody hell was that?" Draco said and with a look to his friends to see blank expressions. Things seemed to be getting a little stranger at Hogwarts. A sudden rain began pouring down with lightning and thunder booming around the school.
Bonnie woke up in an unfamiliar place with white walls. She vaguely remembered going into the port key, thinking she wanted to break the bond between her and her brother. She racked her brain for some useful information. She closed her eyes and remembered vague flashes of wanting to be with her mate, ending up on the forest floor switching immediately from intense heat to freezing cold again. She remembered vomiting all over herself then black. She remembered seeing centaurs, and voices. A name came to her, Magorian. She got up, hearing her stomach growl loudly in protest of not being fed. She enlarged her shrunken truck from her pocket and picked out some clothes that didn't smell like an ogre. She re-locked her trunk and went into the bathroom and tossed her things on the counter.
I guess the curse has finally run its course; she thought to herself and nearly screamed at her reflection. Despite her blood matted hair, it was past her butt now and a shade of light brown with streaks of blonde, not the black she was born with. Her eyes were still green, but her face seemed to have matured. Bonnie looked at her cut body and realized it had changed. She looked like a model with a well-developed mature body. She knew the curse would change her physically, but she wasn't expecting this. She took a shower and contemplated just what the hell was going on since the curse didn't kill her. She waved her hand in a memorized pattern as the time and date appeared. She groaned and merely focused on getting the knots out of her hair.
Pomfrey was the first to come to as she came out and found both Professors and the golden trio all knocked out cold on the stone floor.
"Renivate," She spoke awakening the Professors and then the three students next.
"What in the name of Merlin was that?" Snape growled as they all got up, he burst open the Hospital Wing doors. McGonagall followed him in and they found the girl's bed empty, but a trunk sitting at the end. Pomfrey and the students came in not bothering to go the Great Hall for breakfast. They were too curious about the mysterious girl. She was the talk of the school anyways.
"What's happening did she disappear?" Ron asked and was hushed by Hermione and Harry.
"She couldn't have just disappeared Severus." McGonagall said, and noticed her students coming in. "You four get to the Great Hall, immediately unless you want detentions for a week." Pomfrey ushered them out and shut the doors after telling Neville to be careful and eat.
That was when Bonnie came out of the bathroom, wet hair piled into a bun. Snape whirled around wand pointing at the door and Bonnie herself. She screamed and dropped her blood stained clothes which were wrapped up in a towel on the floor.
