Hello It's me again! Quite shocked that I've already got two reviews – GreenGirlInTheTARDIS and thesparrowfliessouthforwinter: thank you so much! Don't worry LostChild511, I haven't forgotten about you, for being my first favourite AND follower. Goodness, I must be doing something right.

So, I spent my weekend watching Harry Potter with my boyfriend as I haven't watched it before; I KNOW HOW COULD I! So basically, some content may involve a Harry Potter twist or element because why not.

So, without further ado, I give you…

Chapter 2

As their lips drifted away from each other, their both looked back into the other's eyes. Then suddenly, Skulduggery's attention got slightly swayed when he heard a noise come from outside Gordon's mansion.

"Are you expecting someone?" Skulduggery questioned, with a raised eyebrow. Valkyrie looked back at Skulduggery with an equally confused expression and shook her head. Skulduggery lightly gripped the doorknob, opening to door slowly to avoid raising the awareness to whomever was inside.

"This is exactly why I don't wear dresses", Valkyrie quietly spat out. Skulduggery turned his head towards Valkyrie.

"I'm sorry, did you not enjoy tonight?", knowing very well that Valkyrie enjoyed herself.

"That's not that point!" Valkyrie said, as a helpless attempt to defend herself, "I can't fit in a dress!"

"Oh yeah?" Skulduggery said, and then a moment later he moved towards Valkyrie with great force. Valkyrie looked up Skulduggery, her breath being taken from her, not knowing whether to be scared or mildly aroused. Valkyrie became so distracted by Skulduggery close proximity, feeling his hand trail across her skirt light, that she didn't realise that Skulduggery had just changed her dress into a jumpsuit. A black jumpsuit.

A smile crept across Skulduggery's face, he tilted head slightly, saying in a low husky voice "You okay there Val?"

Valkyrie had no words. She just looked up at him with widened eyes. As Skulduggery stepped away, Valkyrie let out a breath, looking down at herself and realising that her outfit had been changed.

He did that on purpose! Valkyrie said to herself, frowning. Valkyrie could see Skulduggery smiling to himself, whilst taking out his gun and moving around the corner. She then followed behind him, using her ring to create a ball of shadows, just in case of an emergency. Then finally scanned the entire house, all apart from one, the study room.

The door was opened slightly. Skulduggery looked over at Valkyrie and nodded in the direction of the room. Valkyrie pushed the door open slowly. She heard some rustling noises and she was about to throw her ball of shadows until Skulduggery grabbed her arm.

"No!" Skulduggery shouted, "Look…"

Valkyrie stepped forward to see a beautiful white owl whose wing had a deep gash across its left wing. The owl appeared to of recognised them both as when the owl noticed them, it hopped over to Valkyrie with a letter in it's beak.

Valkyrie knelt in front of the owl and took the letter. She had quite a shocked expression once she opened the letter.

"What does it say?" Skulduggery asked.

"I don't know…" Valkyrie replied.

"What do you mean, you don't know? You know how to read, don't you?" Skulduggery questioned. Valkyrie glared at Skulduggery, smacking his arm slightly, then handed him to letter.

"It's a…" Valkyrie said, trailing off.

"Spell." Skulduggery interrupted.

"Oh yeah? How do you know that?"

"Because I've used it before." Skulduggery said, with a serious expression, not taking his eyes off the letter, "You need to say it."

"But why?"

"Just say it!"

"Ferula! Valkyrie spat out, and subconsciously she knew to look in the direction of the owl. Suddenly a bandage spun around the owl's wing.

"I knew it…" Skulduggery muttered quickly to himself.

The white owl suddenly had a bright light glow around it and it spun until it transformed into a stunning man, dressed in an old-fashioned suit, with his left arm bandaged. He had black hair and blue eyes with a pale complexion. Valkyrie was slightly stunned by how handsome the guy looked. She could tell he was older than her as well, probably about 23, but who knows anymore in the magic world.

"Hello Skulduggery," the young man said in a smooth, soft voice than nearly made Valkyrie weak at the knees.

"Hello brother" said Skulduggery replied, not sounding very happy.

This is going to be a long night…Valkyrie said to herself.

Slightly shorter I know! Just want to make sure ya'll like this idea before I go forth with it.

I am not making this into a Harry Potter crossover just so I'm clear, I do not have enough knowledge on Harry Potter to do such a thing, but I have come up with an idea to incorporate aspects of Harry Potter so if you trust me, we can see where this leads to.

Hope you all liked it, please review, favourite and follow! Shout outs are always given and if anyone has any ideas, please don't be shy: fire them at me, I promise I won't bite.

Thanks for reading!
