Chapter 10
Who are you? Part 2
Previously on Dryadian honesty
Jade turned to Yoda. "Adrian you know me. I am your wind and we were meant to be together." She was begging and pleading to be let out.
"You can say that, but let's see if that is what your heart and mind tell us." Adrian emptied his mind and listened to her.
He will be mine. They promised that if I got that little witch out of the way that I could have him and all of the power that I wanted. Add in the fact that I would then become a princess and have a chance to become queen, and that would be the easy part. I could easily whip up a poison that could kill the queen easily and then Adrian and I would be married and then I would become queen and then my family won't be disgraced anymore.
Adrian had heard enough he pulled out of her mind and pulled away from her. "Who are you?"
The Jade look alike looked at Adrian in shock. "What do you mean; who am I? I'm Jade Granger, your wind."
"You know the last time a girl said that to me she was trying to control me." Adrian stepped out of the circle and looked at the others. "What are we going to do now?"
"Well if you need some spell work, I guess that I could lend you my assistance." Professor McGonagall had come with Fred and George Weasley trailing behind her.
"Professor McGonagall, could you bring down the illusion that this girl is using?" Hermione asked. She nodded and moved her wand around and a glowing powder came off and then Jade glowed and after the light faded Ginny Weasley stood in her place.
"Wow, even though you kind of expect that it still shocks you." One of the Weasley twins said.
"Come with me Miss Weasley." McGonagall ordered. The group left after returning the ground to how it should have been. Along the way Fred and George kept Ginny away from Adrian. They entered into McGonagall's office and Harry, Hermione, Neville, and Luna flanked her while Adrian, Fred, and George stood by the door. "Now, would you mind telling me what is going on here?"
She huffed. Then she saw the stern look that she was getting from the professor. "My mom told me that even though I couldn't get Harry Potter I still deserved someone great. Then some people showed up at our house and they said that if I could get rid of the girl hanging around Adrian, they said that I could have him."
"Do you remember what they look like?" Adrian asked.
"Why does that matter?"
"Well it could mean life or death for you. That doesn't matter though; where is Jade?" Everyone looked at him in shock at his coldness.
"How should I know?"
Adrian snapped his gaze from Ginny to Professor McGonagall. "Professor, do you know where the Weasley's live?"
"Their home is known at the burrow and it is on the other side of Ottery St. Catchpole, why do you ask?" She questioned.
Adrian stormed out of the room and Harry, Hermione, Neville, and Luna followed him as he ran outside. "What are you doing?" Hermione asked.
"What am I going to do? I'm going to go get my girlfriend." Adrian held his hand up to the sky and in two flashes of fire two phoenixes showed up. "Take us to my mother. Everyone grab on."
Soon they appeared in front of the throne. The queen soon came in and everyone took a knee. "My son, what can I help you with?"
"You can mobilize the night walkers. Jade was taken and now she is missing."
"Do you know where she is?" The queen asked. "You know that I can't mobilize the nightwalkers without probable cause and any idea of where you're going?"
"Mom she was taken against her will by Molly Weasley and she disguised her daughter as Jade to try and trick me. She even admitted under the intension revealed circle that after she were to capture my heart she would poison you so that she could obtain the throne and make her family rich." Adrian stated.
Queen Mira's face went from skeptical to down-right furious in one second. "Sera, Lira!" She yelled out.
"Yes my queen." They both said.
"Grab my cloak and assemble the nightwalkers. We are going to rescue Jade." They both nodded and Ran off. "Adrian, get them some weapons and cloaks and take them to the portal point."
"Yes my Queen. Follow me." Adrian walked the group to the armory and got them some cloaks and then took them to the weapons area and told them to pick out a bladed weapon. Harry grabbed a pair of makhaira and strapped them to his sides, Neville grabbed a broadsword, Luna grabbed a spadroon, and Hermione grabbed a rapier. Adrian came around the corner strapping a katana to his side and then walked to the wall and grabbed a tantō from the wall.
"You have a lot of weapons." Hermione stated.
"We have a lot of dryads and a lot of different fighting styles, so we make a lot of swords to make sure that everyone can be comfortable with their weapon. Let's go."
They made their way through the village to the portal point where the queen, Sera, Lira, and six others were waiting. "Where is the house located?"
Adrian walked over to a stone and put his hand on it, "Ottery St. Catchpole." The air ripples and then a hole opened and through the hole you could see a town. "Good to go." Everyone walked through and ended up at the edge of the woods next to the town.
"It's this way." Luna stated. She led the group through the town and then when they came to a dirt road Adrian stopped them.
"How much further?" He asked.
"Only a few miles." Luna answered.
Adrian looked at the group and the six cloaked figures split off in groups of three and ran into the woods. "Everyone gather around my mother." The five kids gathered around the queen and Sera and Lira went a little ahead of her.
They arrived at a driveway and Luna pointed at a house and stated, "That's the Weasley house."
"Adrian go ahead of me and tell the girls to back off." Mira ordered.
"Yes ma'am." Adrian ran ahead and the twins ran back.
"Mom, why did you send him ahead?" Hermione asked.
She looked down at her daughter and smiled. "In this situation your brother has a special gift that will make him successful in what he needs to do." She saw the question forming on Hermione's lips. "Just wait and find out."
Just then a door opened and in the doorway was a figure with a wand pointing out to the yard. "What do you want?" A lady's voice yelled.
"I want my girlfriend back." Adrian replied.
"And what makes me think that we have her?"
"I saw you leave the school with her and I'm not leaving until I've got her in my arms safe and sound."
All of a sudden there were pops of people appearing in front of the house. "Adrian, cease and desist." Came James Potter's voice.
"I'm sorry Mr. Potter, but I can't." Adrian announced. "I'm here for a reason and I won't stop until I get what I came for."
"That's Auror Potter right now." He said. "If you get any closer I will resort to firing upon you."
"That's alright. I won't hold it against you." Adrian ran straight toward the group of wizards that were standing in his way. While he was running he dodged all of the spells that were fired at him. Once he reached the group he froze for a second.
"Here it comes." Mira and the girls stated.
Adrian hit the ground with his fist which made the wizards fall and as each of them got up he fought hand to hand with each of them and knocked them all unconscious. He froze and looked at the door and noticed that Mrs. Weasley had her wand leveled on him and he quickly ran at her and got behind her and had his tantō to her throat. "You will hand her over now." He said in a menacing voice.
"And what will you do if I don't?"
"I'll make sure that your little girl dies by my hands in the most horrible way." Mrs. Weasley just started laughing. "Then I will hunt down every member of your family and make sure that you are one of the last so that you can bury all of your family one by one."
"Molly, what is going on?" A man said. He looked in the direction of the stairwell and saw an older man coming down.
"Mr. Weasley I presume. As the patriarch of the family could you tell your wife to hand her wand over and take a seat."
He nodded. "Molly hand your wand over and sit." Instead of doing what he told her she started thrashing around and threw Adrian off and pointed her wand at Adrian again only to get a spell to the chest from outside.
Adrian quickly flipped around and looked outside to see James Potter standing there with his wand. "You alright kid."
"Yeah." Just then everyone else came up to the house with weapons drawn, having seen Adrian get thrown. "How could she not listen?"
James walked up the steps and tied up the so called Mrs. Weasley and then turned to Mr. Weasley. "Hello Arthur."
He nodded. "James."
There were two more cracks outside and two more red headed me showed up. "Dad, what happened?" One of them asked.
"I don't know Bill, but all I know is that your mother just ignored a direct order from me." He answered.
"How is that possible? Everyone related to this family is supposed to listen to the patriarch. The only way around it is that they never were related." The other one stated
"I know that Charlie, and the events this evening have brought up some questions that need to be answered."
"We will look into it as soon as possible Arthur, but there is one thing that needs to be done. We need to find Jade." Everybody entered the house and fanned out and started checking every nook and cranny.
"What are you looking for?" Arthur asked.
"Earlier today Mrs. Weasley came to Hogwarts and put an illusion spell on Ginny making her look like Jade and then took Jade out." Harry stated. "Where in this house could she have put her?"
"I don't know."
"Is there any place in which no one was allowed to go?" Neville asked.
Charlie nodded. "Yeah, yeah, there was one place I tried to get into when I was little and then I got yelled at even though I just stumbled into the place." Charlie led everyone over to the fire place and pressed on the lower corner brick which opened a door to a hidden room where Jade was tied to a chair.
"JADE!" Adrian ran forward and cut the ropes holding her.
"Adrian? Is that you?"
"Yeah baby it's me, you're safe now." He picked her up and carried her out of the room. "Come on let's go."
As they went through the front door Mrs. Weasley asked one question. "What's so good about her?"
Adrian turned around and walked back toward the door. "Jade, unlike your daughter, doesn't care about titles or money; all she cares about is making people happy without getting anything in return."
"Well… I wouldn't say I was getting anything." Jade said. "I'm getting you."
Adrian laughed, kissed her and then turned around and led the group back to the portal that was waiting for them to head back to the wooded home of the dryads.
