"Broken"
Sight: Allura
6th Floor Landing, Attic
Crawford Castle
Scotland
2004
A figure waited in the shadows, only it's eyes were visble, as little flashes of moonlight caught them. Waiting for something, perhaps for the shadows to condense revealing either Mira or Kiran, which ever was coming to comfort her. Perhaps waiting for the warrior, named 'Harry Potter', to come for her. Sighing a little, Lur agknowledged the Dark One beside her. ~So, Diana has shown the Company my Grimore.~
~Yes, she has. And is, no doubt, reading them your first entry. Are you angry, daughter?~ Kiran pulled this infinately special woman into the saftey of his arms.
~No, it is for the best. Perhaps, it is time to unlock the secrets in my mind.~ Lur leaned back, keeping her eyes on the Library door.
~Do not rush things, Allura.~
~I won't, Dad. Never fear.~
Kiran smiled as Lur calmed, relaxing against her father. The one to step into her own's shoes, after his betrayal. Even now, Kiran would alternately curse the man who sired his child, showing her Love and then drove her straight into the Realm of the Dark Ones. Her metamorphasis would have taken years without the betrayal. With its addition, the whole process took only five months, to fully develop Aluura into a Vampyr Warrior. She was complete by her second day of residence in the castle.
They stood there watching the Company exit, as the other Caretakers left to think, all but one, Marina. A Dark Sea Nymph, who was half Vampyr like the rest, but for Kiran, Lur, Mira and Diana. Marina was beautiful and had captured the attentions of the eldest 'Red' of the group. Kiran and Lur watched as the normally unflappable Marina stuttered and blushed at something the interested male said.
~I think Cupid has found his way back.~
Kiran chuckled. ~Do you want some food before you turn in?~
~I shall feed later, perhaps on the 'Harry'.~
~Be well, Allura.~
~Be well, Dad. Tell Mom, 'good night' for me.~
~I shall.~

Harry looked up, after he thought he heard someone sigh. He was greeted only with darkness, and the sense of being watched. Turnign to Marina, he asked, "What's up there?"
Marina looked at him oddly. "That, up there is the Attics of the Castle and Lur's rooms. I warn you all now, stay away from Lur. By tomorrow, she will not be so hostile to you."
"*That* was hostile?!" The eldest 'Red' stated in amusement.
"Tonight is the three year anniversary of her vanishing. Oh, before I forget. What are your names, please?"
The eldest walked forward, taking her hand in his, before kissing it tenderly and bringing a becoming blush to her pale shin. "I am Bill Wealsey, a curse breaker for Gringott's."
"Oh..." She trailed off for a moment. "Oh, a curse breaker, good. You can help me in the kitchens while you are here."
Bill was amused, "Kitchen helper, huh? Aside from helping my Mum, I have never done that before." His eyes raked over her gothis peasant dress and leggings. "I would love to *assist* you in any way I can."
Marina felt her heart studder, "Oh my." She blushed even hotter, then waved it away, turning to the next eldest.
"I am Charlie Weasley, a Dragon-handler from Romania." He supplied, raising an eyebrow to his older sybling.
"Oh, we have dragons in the cemetary."
That announcement was met with a stunned silence.
"Cemetary..." Charlie croaked.
"Whoops, that's Vampyr-speak. Cemetary means 'Backyard'." She saw the relieved faces as she explained and couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry. Now, these two troublemakers."
"I'm Fred and this is George. We're the middle Weasley twins."
Just as Marina was about to reply, there was a burst of giggles as two identical 18-year-olds flew into the twins' arms. "Shera, Leyla! Both of you, stop snogging the poor wizards!"
The blonde haired fairy stared for a moment at Marina, before sticking her tongue out. "Shut it, Marina. Just because you are a prude and didn't see your mate at the Equinox, does't mean we can't have ours!"
The ebony haired twiness chimed. "Myne. My prankster is way hotter than yours, Sheradin."
"He is not, Leylana! Myne is way hotter!"
Marina appealled to Bill, "Lord and Lady, can you imagine the pranksters these four would make?"
He raised an eyebrow at her not fully conprehending the situation.
Sighing, she continued over the snogging, "Your brothers are the most famous pranksters on the side of Light. Sheradin and Leylana are the most famous on the side of Dark." She watched as comprehension dawned.
"Oh, shit."
She laughed at his reaction, before the pranksters said, "Language, Bill!" The four started the giggle.
"Now, we have three more to introduce. If you please." She looked at them.
"I am Hermione Malfoy." The quiet woman said.
"Draco Malfoy." The blonde holding her intoned.
"Ron Weasley." The 'Ron' said, still having not taken his eyes off the attics.
"Alright, now that we know each other, we can show you to your rooms. Shera and Leyla take the twins to the rooms adjoining yours. NO SEX!" She called after them.
"Harry, I will put you in the Northern Tower room, directly beneath Lur's master bedroom. Bill, you join the room next to myne. Draco and his wife shall have the third floor suite, overlooking the lake. Charlie, you will have a second floor room, beside our resident Dragon-handler, Mira. Ron, you will have the room under the stairs, Aranya is down there, as well. She will show you to your room. Are the accomodations adequate?"
When everyone had nodded, she lead the way.
