Things never to be told

Chapter 4

A/N: This chapter is going to be incredibly complicated, but stay with me.

Thanks to Crystallized Chaos for reviewing, here's the update, with the answer to the cliffy.

I fell through the darkness to land softly on a rock, which was floating in the darkness. I looked around. Yes, exactly where I needed to be, there were stars in the sky and shadows blocking them out for a split second. More rocks came to join the one I was standing on until there was a path. I ran along until I saw some one dressed in a pink leotard and cloak, doing cartwheels along the path.

"Hey! Happy!"

"Heya Shadow! Wha'cha want?"

"Have you seen knowledge! I need to see her! It's urgent!"

"Knowledge? The ol' bookworm is in her territory, under the tree as usual!"

"Thanks!" I yelled over my shoulder as I ran off. Further along, the path split into eleven different paths. I ran down the path to the far right. Sure enough, there was a girl in a yellow cloak and leotard. The had a heavy book in her hands and glasses on her nose.

"Knowledge!"

"Good day Shadow, what brings you to Eversaid?"

"I need you to tell me what to do."

"You mean about Ron, your roommates, Harry and Draco?"

"Yes, I don't know what to do."

"Oh, one thing, did you bring anyone in with you?"

"Knowledge, I wouldn't bring anyone in here…"

"Then you have a visitor."

"Who's territory?"

"Unfortunately, Rage, you had better get there quick."

I didn't answer Knowledge, because I was already running back up the path to the crossroads. This time, I went down a different path. True enough, there was another girl there, dressed in red, and another girl (this time, dressed in dark green) was helping her hold some one else, who certainly did not belong in Eversayle.

"Rage! Brave! What's going on?"

"This girl came in a few minutes after you. She says she came alone!" Snarled Rage (she's the one in red)

"Do ya know her?" Asked Brave. I took a good look at the human held between the two girls. Bushy hair, only one person I knew with bushy hair.

"Hermione!" I exclaimed.

"Shadow! Where am I, and why do these people look like you?" I smiled.

"Rage, Brave, let her go. Hermione, how did you get in?"

"Through some sort of mirror, a big black hand came out of it and grabbed me."

"Rage, why did you bring some one in?"

"Because she had no right to go through your stuff."

"That's no reason Rage!"

"Since when did you turn into Knowledge and Wisdom?"

"Since they live in my mind Rage, as do you."

"What?" Asked Hermione, "We're in your mind? What kind of sick trick are you trying to pull?"

"Hermione, don't question what you can't understand. This is Eversaid, and the reason that these people look like me is because they live here. The mirror you found is used for meditation, it's a portal into my mind."

"This is why you didn't want us touching your stuff…"

"Only I know if it's alive or not."

"Right… I don't believe you."

"Ok, Brave, go find Knowledge and the others would you, and explain the situation."

"You call them up, they're your emotions!"

"Brave…"

"OK! OK!" Brave ran off.

"Why are they called Brave, Rage, and Knowledge?" Asked Hermione.

"Because they're my emotions. They're named after what they are, so Happy, is always happy for example."

"Right."

"And by the looks of things, you're about to meet the lot!"

Brave and the rest of the emotions were walking towards us. All of them, Rude, Happy, Knowledge, Wisdom, Timid, Sarcasm, Love, Hope, Despair and Affection, all dressed in different colours. Hermione just stared.

"Happy now?" Hermione nodded.

"Good day, I'm Knowledge, pleased to make your acquaintance Hermione."

"How do you know my name?"

"Simple, I am the persona of Shadow's knowledge, I remember everything that Shadow has seen, heard, touched or read."

"Knowledge, can you teleport us out of here? I really don't want to take Hermione round the rest of my mind., I'll be back to talk to you about those problems."

"Yes, and Hermione, a word of warning. Don't tell anyone at all about us, or about Eversaid at all, or we'll send Rage and Brave out to deal with it."

"That sounds like a good enough threat to come out of Rage's mouth." Said the girl in brown.

"And a word to some of you," I said. "Rage and Sarcasm, keep your mouths SHUT around Malfoy and Love, no messing around with Ron. That's bad, Knowledge, find out what you can about Harry." Rude burped.

"Like that's ever going to happen." Knowledge rolled her eyes and cast a shimmering light around us.

We landed in a heap on the floor of our dorm.

"I told you not to go through my stuff!"

"I saw you go into the mirror, and I though you might be in trouble!"

"Next time, leave it be."

Hermione left, and I hoped that she would keep her mouth shut; otherwise I was in for a lot of trouble keeping Rage out of it. I shook my head. I had better go and see what Harry's up to, and if Hermione starts to say anything about her little 'trip' into Eversaid, I had better remind her of Knowledge's threat, because I know she'll carry it out!

I walked out of the dorm and spotted the trio going out of the common room and into the school. I silently followed them to an empty classroom. I waited a bit, and then quietly phased through the wall.

"There's something you have to know about Shadow, she's not normal…" Said Hermione.

"Most muggles would say that we're not normal, so why should she be any different?"

"Because when she ran off at the flying lesson, Shadow went to her room, and went into a mirror. I followed her, and then she said that it was a portal into her mind…"

"That is where I would shut up Hermione." I was secretly pleased to see them jump. I'm very skilled at lingering, and also lurking.

"Shadow!" Hermione squeaked.

"Your lucky about the amount of control I have over Rage and Brave, otherwise you wouldn't be talking at the moment."

"Shadow, what are you talking about?" Asked Ron, puzzled.

"What Hermione said was true. Now I would be very pleased if you would not talk about me behind my back. Rage could go into a…. Rage."

"What is going on Shadow?"

"You might as well tell us everything about you before I go back into your mirror and ask Knowledge."

"How many are there!?" Said Ron.

"Eleven," I answered, "And Knowledge would call in the others before saying anything, and not many of my sides would want me to tell you about my past. In fact, they would probably come out and tell you that if Knowledge and Wisdom let them."

"Then can you explain the book on your bed called 'Half Breeds'?" Said Hermione.

"Uh…"

"Research."

"Thanks Knowledge!"

"I have it for research."

"Yeah right!" I felt Rage get angry. I heard something explode near by. I ran from that room, out into the corridors and away from them.
