Chapter 4: Floating around someone's plan

Flashes of light were dancing beneath the misty scenery. The monsters of the forbidden forest huskily left from that place, in contrary with them, I flied toward it. There, Harebell and the Auror were fought to die.

"Let go of her!" I imagined big blast of fire. It did real happen, separating Harebell and the Auror. It seemed the blue girl magic was depended just by my imagination.

Then…that would make my move easier and cooler, "Kekkai!(barrier)!" I said, formed a cage of fire around Harebell. She tried to extinguish it by ice, but it was eaten back by my fire.

"Move! Don't be on my way!" the Auror snarled.

"Why would you kill her? She doesn't kill anyone this time." I tried to speak to the enraged Auror. Actually I couldn't blame him for being angry, because a big scratch had been formed on his torso, also on his legs. His strands wet with red blood too.

"If you wish to sacrifice me for your distorted mental friend, I would never do that! Get her by your own self then!" the Auror spoke up.

Speaking was always easy. Harebell's deathly glare didn't look like a friendly glare. Seeing me watching her, she smirked, and touched the fire cage without ice-shield. Her left hand was burnt wickedly but she didn't seem would draw it away.

I quenched the fire cage to quit her stupid act, but she took it as an opportunity to flee. I flied chasing her while the Auror was healing his wounds with help of Reef.

The pursuing wasn't easy. Harebell blasted ice-flowers spread out in front of my way. I had to be careful for not hitting them, also for not being slammed on the trees. Moreover, her mist made my sight awful.

Suddenly she stop moved. I didn't know what happen until I came nearer. She was trapped in the giant spider's web.

I landed next to her and tried to burn those sticky net. It wasn't burned at all.

"May I remind you, foolish, that the giant spider's net are fire resist?" Harebell spoke blandly. I growled and automatically tried to sever those webs with my hand, which was my very mistake.

I was stuck now, with my friend but not friend beside me and the giant black spider walked approached us.

"Holy breath!" I blazed a block of fire to the spider-chan. She runs away into the dark dense trees.

"Heh, the name of your art isn't appropriate with the real thing." said Harebell lazily.

"Can't you just accept it? The most important thing is the coolness, you know." I spoke while I was struggling to get out of the grip. It just made my self more stuck in a knotty net. Now my whole body was trapped beside Harebell. She didn't respond at all, just looking at the dark forest where the spider had run to before.

That spider came back, and now she with her friendS (note the plural form of it).

"Actually there's an easy way to free from this net." Harebell spoke calmly as if she was at school, answering Hagrid's (teacher of magical creatures' maintenance lesson) question instead of facing deathly situation.

"What's that? To the point please!" I concentrated and formed a fire barricade to prevent the spiders move.

"A spell for cleaning, do you remember?" Harebell closed her eyes, "That's only if we have a wand, so let's bid farewell."

"Why you're so easy to give up? If we try, there must be a way." I said encouragingly like in the shounen manga. Harebell only looked at me in you-are-such-a-stupid-stubborn glare.

Without wasting more time I screamed, "REEEEEFFF, help us!" Yeah…we could ask him…what was friend for anyway?

Harebell's eyes wide in surprised.

"What?" I warily asked her.

Suddenly there came Reef reply. 'Sorry, Lilt, I can't help you now…'

"WHAT?" (Harebell's eyes wide in shock hearing my full blast voice)

'Sorry…I'm…busy…'

"Kuso!!Bakayarooooooo!! kirai desu!! (damn; stupid; I hate you) and you KNOW what I mean!!"

Harebell opened her mouth to spoke, "Lilt, what are you….(??)(wasn't heard because came another voice directly in my head that blocked it)"

'If you need a wand, then you can use me as well, Lilt' said that voice. It was the same voice with the blue hair girl from the amulet's voices.

I briskly look for that red star amulet. It was hanging on my chest, separated from my skin by my shirt. I shook my body hardly so that the amulet was thrown and I could catch it with my mouth. I waved it as if it was a wand. "hnnnhmmm." I tried to spell the cleaning spell, forgot that spells could occur just by thinking of it.

The spell worked even I wasn't pronounced it well. I and Harebell landed on the ground in save. Without thinking further, I grasped Harebell's waist and dragged her to the air, fly away as far as and as quick as possible from the spiders.

"Don't you aware that I really capable to kill you right now? You're even less than a span to me." Harebell said in calm but threatening voice.

"I do, but if I leave you it means I will indirectly killing you. Do you aware of it?"

Harebell seemed thinking for a while then she said, "Ok. I think I should trust you."

Wow, that was really good news for me.

'Lilt, so you've calmed Harebell, thanks god. Now, come to me but hide your fire and red star amulet first.'

Nah, you can guess, it was Reef, the bad news carrier. Now, why I must obey his task?

'DON'T BE STUPID!!' if telepathy could roar then Reef just do it. 'Yours, Harebell, and my life depend on it. I'll explain later.'

I absolutely mocked and confused. But he had mentioned about life-risk, so I flew down and walked to find Reef. Harebell's hand was on mine, and she seemed harmless. I supposed she was finally being Harebell I'd known before.

I saw Reef, he ran to us. The Auror was behind him, his wounds were fully recovered.

"So you're save, thanks god! This forest is absolutely dangerous for first grade like you. " The Auror said in a gleefully suspicious tone. "Then let's go back to school. I can't understand Mr. Rau's worry. He's not need to call me just for finishing a quarrel between students." He continued.

I eyed Reef, and Harebell did the same. But Reef just avoiding our questioning (as for me, accusing) stares and moved beside the Auror in front of me, leading the way back to school.

Damn. I really hated to be floating around someone's plan like this.
