Review (just for me since it's my birthday be the best gift ever)
Memory/Dream
"Worthless,"
SMACK
"Weakling"
CRACK
"Your nothing but a waste of space," A fist came down once more connecting painfully to his ribs cause him to collapse onto the floor panting harshly and holding his ribs which he was pretty sure were broken, looking up he saw the angry baby blue eyes full of resentment and disgust of his best friend Ron Weasley as the red head pulled back his foot and smashed it into his back before kneeing him in the stomach, winding him thoroughly but it wasn't the punches or kicks that hurt it was the words
Words that cut deeply into his soul as his friend grabbed a fist full of his raven black hair and yanked him towards the fire in the Gryffindor Common room, "Even your relatives don't like, so maybe I should take a page from your uncles book," He pulled out a white hot poker and moved it so close to his face that he could feel the burning heat, "Ron please,"
SMACK
The iron poker came down harshly on his back burning his clothes skin making him cry out in pain and fear as it was pressed and held against the inside of his right wrist, "Don't say my name, don't you dare say my name, you worthless, a coward, why your mother and father died for you I'll never know, you should have been the one to die not them and you know that," Harry nodded helplessly it was all true, his parents should never have died
"Sirius Black is a fugitive because of you," Smack, "Remus Lupin will lose his job, because of you" Slap
"YOU NERELY GOT HERMIONE AND I KILLED" The poker whipped across his face and he felt blackness tingeing the edges of his vision, "Mr Weasley I think he got it," The sound of his head of house coming into the room made him look up hopefully but she just sneered at him before casting a cutting curse which hit his left leg and his face become one of heartbroken sadness
"Poppy, make sure his face doesn't scar or if it does cast a permanent glamour same for the burn on his wrist. Get rid of everything else," The nurse gave wicked smile as she came into his line of sight and swished her wand over his broken helpless body causing spasms of pain to race along his body before his injuries stitched themselves back together, she cast the glamour then turned to Minerva and Ron both were smirking as he still writhed in pain, "The glamour's will leech his own magic, they will become so intertwined with the freak's magic that they won't ever come off, and the scars will never fade no matter what," With that she cast the glamour causing him even more pain before leaving, Minerva followed but turned, "Don't forget to take care of the memory Weasley," The boy nodded pointed his own wand and muttered
"Too bad you won't remember this I'm very good at memory charms now so you remember anything once again: Obliviate"
End Memory/Dream
Ria shot up in bed panting harshly, tears creating a steady path down his white cheeks, he hand flew to his right wrist and ran along the skin which appeared smooth but he wasn't so sure now, then both hand flew to his face and ran across the smooth surface where the burn over his left eye had been. Suddenly he jumped out of bed ran for the toilet not even noticing he ran Yuki over before he doubled over the toilet bowl and threw up his dinner
"Ria?" He vaguely heard Seto's calm sleepy voice before he threw up once more, his breaths became closer as his mind settled into panic
Cruor grabbed a light blue L shaped can before racing after his master, he entered the bathroom to see the Ice Demon trying in vain to get his charge to calm down and breath but the elf was so lost in a memory he couldn't hear him
~Ria, please you need to calm yourself, you're giving yourself an Asthma attack The blood cat placed the can on the floor and pushed it towards Ria who gripped the bowl of the toilet tightly before throwing up once more
~Damn it where is Aureolus when you need him he rubbed against Ria's arm to comfort him but the elf merely shrank away from them both
"Please don't, it wasn't my fault, please," The young elf was whispering to himself and curled into a ball and protected his head from an assailant that lived in his memories
Then there was a gentle trill and the elf seemed to relax slightly as his Storm Phoenix flew in the bathroom and landed on Ria's shoulder and started singing in his ear
#come on little master, calm your mind and use that weird can to breath a combination of the song and Cruor's presence allowed Ria enough stability to do as he was told, taking the can and shaking it a few time before placing his mouth over the front and pressing down on the can as he inhaled. He leaned backwards into Seto who rested a pale blue tinted hand on his forehead, the coolness of his skin allowed the young elf to relax even more and let the medicine do its work
"I'm okay now," He was still breathless but they were calming down, so they all just sat like that until the elf's breathing was under control "Okay I good," He made to get up but Seto swept him up easily into his arms and carried him princess-style to the living room where he was placed on the sofa, Yuki jumped up and curled up on his stomach as if she knew not to press on his chest at the moment and started to purr and rub her face into his navel. Cruor kept his head under Ria hand and Aureolus perched on his knee still singing softly
"What time is it?" Seto looked at the clock
"2am," The elf looked guilty, "Sorry for waking you Seto,"
"Its fine, what happened?" The elf flinched and looked away but answered, "A dream, no a memory, before I came here my … best friend used to cast memory charms on me. This summer they were removed however I didn't have dreams over the holidays and my grandmother said they'd come when I'm ready to know, I had one last night," He laid his free hand over his eyes the fingers tips brushing against his left eye
"Go on, it helps to talk about it you know,"
The Ice Demon's calm presence allowed Ria to speak about everything in the memory, the words that hurt more than the blows, the way his head of house turned on him and Poppy the one adult he thought he could trust because she was a healer turned her back on him, "It's like everyone wants to hurt me, my friends, my family, my teachers," Seto gathered him into a firm warm hug and allowed the elf to cry on his shoulders as he whispered comforting words in the elf's sensitive ear
"Sleep, we will guard your dreams now," The elf seemed weary but allowed Seto to pick him and take him to his room. Once he was settled on the bed, Yuki resumed her position on his stomach Cruor was curled up behind him so Ria's head rested on the blood cats belly and Aureolus was perched on the bedside table still singing softly, Seto pulled the arm chair from the corner of the room and sat down, "Sleep," And he did
At 7am Cruor woke Seto and Ria but gently prodding them until they were both up and coherent, the young elf sat up and rubbed his tired eyes but found he did actually feel better, "Think you're up for your first day?" Ria turned his attention to the Ice Demon and nodded with a relaxed smile
"Yea,"
Seto ruffled his hair getting an indigent huff from Ria before he left to dress. Ria could be bothered with a shower that morning so opted out of it and just dressed in green cargo pants, white trainers, a thin bright red t-shirt that said 'Bite me', it had been a gift from Theo when they first became friends, and pulled a wooly black cardigan on but left it open, he grabbed his shoulder bag which was already packed for his day and left calling out a hasty goodbye to Aureolus and Cruor following behind him. He met Seto in the living room who was holding out a brush and bobble, "Thank you," he took both items set his bag by the armchair and proceeded to brush his long tangled hair until it was unknotted and sleek then pulled it into a neat high ponytail. "Much better,"
"What lessons do you have?"
The elf looked up at the question from where he had been rummaging through his bag to make sure everything was there, "Elemental Magic 9-11, break, Blood Magic 11:30-1, lunch, Black Arts 3-5 that's all for today,"
"Pretty good, they normally give all classes around 2 hours the first or two so the teachers can assess were the students are at,"
"Yea I noticed that since tomorrow it's the same time but instead I have Potions, break, Charms, lunch then Healing," The two left with their Soul Guardians following behind, Ria actually spoke to the shadows which confused Seto until a female with earth green hair stepped out of them, "Morning Young Master,"
"Mai this is Seto my roommate, Seto this is Mai she's a Forest Elf and is one of the guards trailing me today," The woman looked abashed but saluted then blended back into the shadows
"How can she do that I thought she was a Forest Elf not a Shadow Elf," The Prince merely gave him an amused stare, "It's a secret," A cheeky wink then the elf ran towards his friends who were gathered by the door waiting for him, "See you later Seto," They left and Seto went to find his own friends
Breakfast consisted of Scrambled Eggs on toast and a cup of mango tea for Ria and his friends noticed the healthy to unhealthy switch easily, "You have a rather well rounded diet eh," Mike commented as he ate his own breakfast of full English
"I suppose I do, I just eat what I fancy is all," He shrugged and the rest of the meal passed in friendly conversation before they split for their classes at which discovered Theo and Caleb would be in his Blood Magic class, Mike, Riku, Caleb and Spencer in his Black Arts class
So headed for the Elemental Room Seto should him yesterday with the others since his class came first.
The room was already half full when he entered which made him a bit nervous since everyone seemed to be friends and he was heading to sit at the back when a pretty petite girl came up to him with a brilliant smile, her hair was bright silver and her eyes a pure white
"Hello I'm Antoinette May but everyone calls me Toni for short, I'm a Natural Wind Elemental"
He shook her hand firmly with a soft smile of his own, "Arianwyn Desi Weasley-Greenleaf but everyone calls me Ria for short, I'm a Royal and Blood Elf by Inheritance,"
"Nice to meet you, would you like to sit with and my Mate?" She waved to another female with bright sky blue hair, dark blue eyes and large white feathered wigs tucked against her back
"If your Mate doesn't mind I'd love to," They went over and at first the winged girl regarded him cautiously
"Arianwyn Desi Weasley-Greenleaf, Ria for short, I'm a Submissive Royal and Blood Elf by Inheritance," The winged girls eyes widened in surprise but at his declaration of being a Submissive she relaxed as he was clearly no threat to her Mate
"Olivia Haywood, Dominant Nephllim, you can call me Liv for short, please sit, your very welcome with us,"
"Thanks," He sat down next to Toni when he turned, "Is Alice Haywood your younger sister?"
"That's right; she didn't wish to take this class much to our parent's horror but instead chose Dance Magic,"
"I thought so; your sister is part of my study group this Thursday evening,"
"Well I now feel more comfortable to allow her to go without myself, you seem like a very nice boy," He gave her a grin which was very adorable to the Dominant Nephllim and the Submissive Wind Elemental
"So what other classes do you have?" He told them but found neither was in his classes but Toni would be in all his classes tomorrow and Liv would be in Potions with them
"I am Peter Lux, I will be your Elemental Teacher for the rest of the term, I am a Wind Mage and thus will be more helpful to those of you with wings and wing abilities, however I will try my best to help everyone as best I can," The man was quite slim and slender standing at 5ft8 and was wearing simple gray jeans and a black t-shirt with a jacket tied around his waist
He stood at the front with a soft smile which made them all relax, "First I will call register and you will answer with your Creature and if you have wind or flying abilities,"
Before was two twin brothers Cian and Silas Brown, both were Fire Elementals but only Cian had flame like wings
Antoinette was next followed by Olivia who stated that they were Mates of course both were fliers and Wind based which made Peter smile
Next was a large male my the name of Jenson Hobbs who was a Water Fae and had bright blue wings
"Arianwyn Desi Weasley-Greenleaf,"
"Royal and Blood Elf, I have Wings and some affinity with Wing Magic,"
The man nodded and moved on again with a smile. Once all 15 of them were called he split them up, the wind users and winged creatures in one group the others in another, "Right as I said I am Wind Mage, and thus Wind Magic and flying the only things I can really teach, however I will be able to help the rest of you with your control better than the others. So for the Fliers and Wind Magic Users you will have a harder time then the rest. Since this is a two hour period I will interview you each individually in my office, I will require to see your wings so if your wings weren't out just now they will need to be," His eyes danced of Ria and three others who stated they had wings but kept them hidden
"Feel free to talk amongst yourselves, get to know each other, however any fighting or bullying you will be out of my lessons permanently," He walked to his office but turned before he enter
"Also I am only here till Christmas, after that someone else takes over till Easter, then again till Summer, this way every one of you will benefit from this class. This means at some point there will be a Fire User, Earth User and Water User here," With that he entered his office and called Toni and Liv to his office since they were the only Mated pair in the class which left him alone again
"So you're a Royal Elf eh," The Fire Elemental Twins came over with bright grins, and Ria took a moment to observe them, they both had dark red hair however Cian had bright red highlights and Silas had orange highlights, they're eyes were a matching red and both had 5ft9 swimmer like builds however what interested Ria was the way they held themselves close to each other
"You're Mates,"
They looked shocked then angry but before they could shout he held his hands up, "Hey it's nothing to do with, love is love no matter what, doesn't matter to me that your twin brothers,"
The shocked looks were back but the two relaxed, "Huh, most people hate us because we're actually quite openly lovers to be honest," Ria nodded, they didn't state it because there were two new students and they hoped to make friends
"Well it doesn't bother me that your brothers and lovers, Ria Greenleaf," He held his hand out and they both took turns to shake it with bright smiles.
10 minutes after random conversation with the twins Ria learned they'd be in his Black Arts class this afternoon so he invited them to come eat with him and his friends, "They won't like it," Cian stated as Silas went up to the office and Liv and Antoinette came down, "So I'm at liberty to make friends with whoever I want, if they don't like it then I'll sit else were with you two," Cian gave him a grateful look, he quite liked the Elf Prince and knew his Mate felt the same so he was glad that Ria didn't hate them and wasn't embarrassed to be seen talking with them
"Toni, Liv this is Cian, his brother Silas just went in the office," The Nephllim was again suspicious, "I have my own Mate Olivia Haywood, no need to glare, Toni is entirely the wrong gender anyways," The Wind Elemental gave a small smile but seemed to back away from them,
"Toni?" Ria questioned with a slight tilt of his head, "I'm sorry but their …. Taboo, I can't, sorry," She left quickly to the other side of the room and Olivia rolled her eyes slightly, "Sorry Ria, Toni is my Mate, Cian," Then she left as well
Cian looked heartbroken and seemed to be waiting for Ria to leave as leave, "I'm still here you know," the Fire Elemental smiled slightly when a bird flew through the window and landed on his shoulder, "Ah this is Ebony, mine and Silas's Soul Guardian,"
"I didn't know two people could ….." he trailed off when realisation hit him light a train, "You share the same Soul,"
"You're the first to guess correctly, not even our parents know, we hide the fact we're Mates from them. It's not really difficult their never around to be honest," The blood cat chose that moment to lift his head into Ria's hand, "Oh this is Cruor one of my Soul Guardians, Aureolus is the other but he's a free bird so comes only when I call him or need him,"
"Yea I know, Ebony here is a Shadow Phoenix and does the same,"
"Yea Aureolus is a Strom Phoenix; Cruor is a Blood Cat,"
"Arianwyn Greenleaf," Silas came down with a smirk and Ria went up with Cruor following him
"Please take a seat," Ria sat opposite Peter near the window which had a nice view of the forest, "Your wings please,"
"Oh sorry," Ria stood and took his shirt off to stop it ripping before allowing his black wings to break free
The professor asked if it was alright to touch them but the Elf Prince hesitated he knew he wings were sensitive, "I swear on my life and wind magic I will not act inappropriately towards you, I merely wish to see how strong the joints are and how soft the feathers are. If you wish you may touch my wings afterwards," Peter smiled warmly which encouraged Ria to agree so he turned and allowed them to ran his hands across the joint of his wing back feeling the powerful built up muscles
"Good muscle, I take it you've been flying for at least 2 months," Ria nodded, "That's just about right, it's been a month and 3 weeks, my grandparents helped me build up the muscle through various exercises,"
The man nodded and moved his hand up the wing joint, "You've flown quite a few times from the feel of the actual wing muscle,"
"Yep I love being in the sky, the freedom is fantastic, so flew as often as I could," The man nodded, "Yes there isn't a feel quite like flying," He moved his hand down the wings over the feathers causing the Elf Prince to shiver in delight the blush brightly at the action to which Peter gave a gentle smile, "It's a normal reaction for one with feather wings," He ran his fingers over the gold splattered feathers then the red splattered feathers
"Beautiful, nice and silky, you groom yes?"
"Twice a week," His elf preened slightly at the praise, the wings and ears were after all an Elf's pride and joy,
"Very well I am done, here my wings," The man turned took his own top off and allowed his own white wings to fly free. They were splattered with ice blue which Ria took as the man being Mated, but then he noticed the black tips, "May I?" Peter nodded and Ria ran his hands down the feathers and felt they were slightly greasy feeling and bumpy, "You lost your Mate,"
"Yes, two years ago," The wings were withdrawn and Ria could tell he trend on toes, "My apologies I didn't mean to be insensitive,"
Peter sighed and gestured for him to sit again, Ria did so and Cruor curled up at his fete once more but his piercing red eyes were focused on Peter in case they became a threat to his charge
"No I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you or your Soul Guardian uneasy around me, it's just most people who have lost their Mate dislikes speaking about it much to outsiders but since I have no family I can't really speak about it,"
"I understand professor,"
"Goodness me it Peter, Arianwyn, Professor makes me feel old, now what of your Wind Magic, how strong is it?"
"Ria please, and I've been told it just above average, I can float without my wings for a limited time and I can create sharp blasts of air so they act like swords. That's it,"
The Win Elemental nodded, "You've got the basics then I take it the wind magic came from the Royal Elf Blood,"
"Yes, as a Royal Elf I'll have majority of Elfin powers, but I have certain areas which are weaker than others and some that are stronger than others"
"Like?"
"Well Fire Magic is pretty week since I can be very emotional, however I'm pretty adept with Water Magic, I can even heal with it now, Earth Magic is okay again I'm to … well …. Let's just says it's like with the fire but a different reason obviously the Blood Magic is natural I'm a Blood Elf as well,"
"Okay so your quite well rounded, we'll focus on Meditating next week see if we can control those emotions of yours," Ria nodded and stood, "Thank you,"
"Okay, Ria, I'm glad you've made friends with Cian and Silas, they need a friend," Ria gave a bright smile, "Please send Cian in after you,"
The Elf Prince left and headed to where Cian and Silas were and told Silas he was next, the Fire Elemental went up, Ria took a seat next to Cian and smiled, "So do the both of you have the same classes?"
"Yep, Silas didn't want us to be apart really," Ria nodded then grinned, "Means you'll be in Black Arts with me this afternoon, the two of you are welcome to eat with me and my friends, and if they don't like it then we can sit elsewhere,"
Silas came back after a few minutes and sat on his Mate's lap with a bright grin as Ria ignored the leers when the Fae came over, "Why are you hanging out with the Taboo Twins," He gave the two Mate a hateful leer which made both of them cringe
"There's nothing wrong with being in love," The Elf Prince calmly stated, "Besides I'd rather be their friend then with a spiteful git like you, now if you don't mind we were having pleasant conversation before you interrupted with your unwanted and unneeded comments," The Fae was stunned but sulked off when Ria gave him a glare worthy of Severus Snape
"Thanks, no one's ever stood up for us before," The young elf gave them bright smiles and the rest of the lesson carried on with no other problems.
They headed off on break together and they ran into Seto and his friends on the first floor, "Hey Seto," The Ice Demon gave a smile when his ice blue eyes travelled to Cian and Silas
"Hello you two, and trouble?" The twins shook their heads, "Good, if you get any make sure to inform me," They nodded
"I take your friends with the Twins Ria?"
"Yep, their very cool, both of them a quite well rounded despite being Fire Elementals. They've agreed to help me with my control problem as well,"
"Good the twins are very reliable friends to have, and Ria is a very loyal friend, now I must dash I have a meeting before my next lessons; Atemu one word and you'll be eating through a straw," "The Shadow Demon pouted but didn't say anything other than glare at the twins and gave a small grin to Ria who raised his eyebrow before the two demons left
"Right I'll see you at the entrance of the Dining Hall for dinner yea?" The twins nodded and head off to Transformation which they had on the first floor since their professor was a wizard and Ria headed down to his Blood Magic lesson
He saw Caleb waiting for him outside and grinned, "Hey,"
"What's up?"
"Just hanging out with some new friends,"
"Will we get to meet them?"
They headed into the room and Ria confirmed they will meet the twins, "I am Jamie Knight, I am Lamina," Ria grinned he knew what that was, but there were some confused
"And for the idiots who didn't pick up a Creature Book or never have, Lamina is a Born Vampire," That made everyone but Ria shiver even Caleb did
"I will be teaching you all Blood Magic and Blood Rituals, your performance and natural skill for the next two weeks will be important as it will decided on whether you can stay in my class," He walked around them all and seemed to be assess them visually
"I can see a four Blood Elf's, three Dracken's, two Fae, a Siren, 4 Blood Mages, 5 Elementals and a Halfling Elf," His blood red eyed where flecked with green Ria noticed as they landed on him when he said Halfling Elf
"Many of you might not be able to keep despite having a natural affinity with Blood Rituals and Magic. Therefore some of you will only be here till Christmas to gain the required knowledge to control your Blood Magic, while a select few will remain in my class for the next 3 years and expanded to a Blood Master, after which you will have many options of Masteries to peruse with Blood Magic required," He sat down at the front
"Blood Magic and Blood Rituals can be claimed as Masteries on their own depending on your preferences, Warding uses Blood Rituals, Healing also uses different combinations of Blood Magic and Bloods Rituals in certain fields but I will leave that to the Healer to inform you of those."
He paused and assessed them once more, "I will not call out your names or take register, if you aren't here then you will miss out and it will be up to you to inform of why you weren't present in my class and if the reason is acceptable I will arrange time on a weekend for you to catch up with me personally, however if the reason isn't acceptable then you will have to try and catch up alone for I will not give up my free time to people who are lazy and uninterested in my subject."
"Today I will be going over the basics you will need for Blood Magic and Blood Rituals," He turned to a board and everyone else just started but Ria pulled out his muggle note pad and a pen and began writing
"Blood Magic requires your own blood to work, there will come a point when you will be able to use the blood in another's body, which means you will be required to cut yourselves with blades made from different materials such as bronze, silver, crystal, celestial steel, iron, gold, copper and some gemstones such as Jade, Jasper, Opal and Diamond. Those are a few of the available blades, you don't have to purchase them I have sterile blades in that cabinet that the Academy provides, once you use them you keep them to avoid infection spreading, however if you lose your blade you replace it with your own money and they are no cheep. Each set of blades is placed in a velvet wrap which is spelled to keep the blades neat and in order, there will be one type of each blade so in total there are about 50 blades, each are self sharpen and self cleansing however you will learn how to take care of the equipment yourself and after Christmas the spells will break which means sharpen and cleaning the blades will be up to you,"
Jamie waved his hand at the cabinet and the velvet pouches flew out and landed in front of each of them, "Even if you are remove from the class or leave you may keep the blades because it is unsafe to give them to another student after you have used them, however Maria might require a small 30 gallon fee which I assure you is much, much, much less than what was paid for each blade,"
"Goblets are also used, again they are provided by the Academy," He waved his hand and Crystal Goblets landed on each desk, "Again due to health reasons you keep the Goblet but if you drop out of the lesson or get taken out there is no fee as these were made by one of the staff who requires no fee to make them."
"The Goblets will be used to mix certain Blood Potions, and are used in Rituals, normally Blood Adoption Rituals which all performing members drink out of with a mixture of each other's blood." The Lamina's eyes travelled over them with a glare when he noticed only a handful were writing what he said down, however he didn't tell them off just continued with his lesson
"Mirrors are another thing we use commonly for Rituals, these you are required to get yourself, nothing expensive; cheep hand held mirrors are fine so long as the eyes can be seen. The eyes like the mirror to a soul, blood magic wile tie in with Black Arts and Soul Magic at some point, so those of you take Black Arts will be getting a head start in that Soul Magic is only for certain creatures as such none here would be offered the chance to have that class but on 4 lessons we will sit in with them since what they cover will be needed for Mirror Magic. Full body mirrors we provided but you don't need to keep them,"
"A pouch of pure gemstones we also provide, again a small 20 gallon fee is placed if you withdraw or get taken off the course," The pouches landed on their desk
"Someone name me 5 Gemstones which are used in Blood Magic?"
No one offered information, so Ria raised his own hand, "Yes?"
"Ruby, Jasper, Tigers Eye, Jade and Amethyst,"
"Excellent glad to see one of you opened the text book, those are the 5 main gemstones used because of their raw power that aide us in Casting,"
The lesson went onto different famous Blood Mages.
He dismissed them for lunch and told them they'd start with Blood Magic in the lesson Wednesday.
"I like him; he's very straight forward, no nonsense type of guy," Caleb nodded absently, "Okay what's growing in the brain?"
"Nothing, don't worry,"
"Ria!" The twins tackled him front behind and they crashed on the floor in a pile laughing, "Get off you lumps," The twin Fire Elementals lifted themselves them each held a hand out to Ria who accepted and allowed them to pull him to his feet
"God, no need to tackle me guys, I mean seriously you could have killed me with all the weight," They both smirked, "Just because we're taller then you Ria," Cian
"Doesn't mean you have to a tantrum,"
"Cheeky buggers,"
They both grinned then Caleb spoke, "Your friends with the fire twins?" the Elf Prince turned to the Blood Elf "Yes, got a problem with it?" There was a challenge in the bright emerald green eyes
"Of course not Ria, love is love to elves; however I know Mike might have a problem with it,"
"Well if he does then he can sit with and keep his comments to himself or he can sit else were if he can't, Cian and Silas are my friends and I'll be dammed if I let them be picked on because they love each other,"
"Ah that's why people like you so much Ria, you just accept them for who they are, not for the titles or last name,"
They walked into the dining hall to see the others saved them seats so they grabbed their food and went to sit down, "Ria their …. "
"Sitting with us, if you have a problem with them Mike we'll sit elsewhere," The Dracken inside Mike demanded he punish the Submissive Elf for being so rude to a Dominate he even stood and stepped forward with his hand raised when he found the twins in front of the Elf Prince both had their hands covered with flames, not to mention the two elves had also stepped forward with their own powers crackling and the bodyguard that had replaced Mia stepped forward
"Lay a hand on his Highness and it'll be the last thing you ever do Dragon," Ria narrowed his own eyes before turning on his heal and sitting down at another empty table, the twins followed as did Caleb and Riku, Leon shook his head and stood as well as Spencer, "You Dragons can be so controlling Mike," the two walked over to the new table leaving Mike alone to pout
"Honestly," Ria muttered before he introduce his friends to the twins and was happy they were accepted relatively easy, he could tell Spencer didn't approve of two brother's being Mates but he kept his comments to himself and Cian and Silas kept the affection toned down knowing that they only accepted them because Ria was their friend
Dinner passed and Ria headed to Black Arts with the twins, Spencer and his two elfin friends. They ignored Mike when they entered the room and sat two at a desk so the twins sat together, with Ria and Spencer in front of them and the two elves at the very front
"My name is Jessica Dream," A pretty woman with knee length pink hair and bright dreamy brown eyes came in, she wore no shoes, a bright red dress and a white shawl wrapped around her shoulders, "I will be teaching you how to control the Black Arts, these spells and rituals are not for the faint hearted, and some of them will included numerous sacrifices," Several people flinched
"Animals will be used in these rituals, but some of you may be required to give blood," Her eyes passed over him and Caleb, "Or the loss of a sense for a couple fo hours. You my leave at any point, or opt out of certain rituals if you wish to. All materials will be supplied, I know two of you will have your own blades, gemstones and mirrors, you may use them, in fact I insist you do use your own," The two of them nodded, they were planning on using their own equipment anyways
"I will teach you not only spells and rituals but the history of the Black Arts dating back to Arthur Pendragon's and Merlin Emrys's rule," Ria turned his head sharply when her eyes landed on him with a knowing grinning but she thankfully didn't say anything else
"If you require extra lessons I will be happy to provide one-one tutoring on Sunday afternoons only,"
The rest of the lesson she explained that Black Arts was tied with many other subjects such as Dance Magic, Blood Magic, Necromancy and she would assess them for the areas they would excel in over the next week
They were dismissed and they headed for supper talking happily about the lesson and comparing notes when Julius slammed into Ria and knocked him to the floor, "Asshole watch where you're going," The Kitsune snarled and Ria jumped up, "Want me to break your nose again you idiot," The Kitsune actually flinched back slightly
"Next time I'll break more than your nose if you don't watch it Kitty,"
They walked past when the Kitsune scream and shot a spell which hit Ria in the chest, "Asshole, attacking someone from behind," Cian shot his own spell that knocked the bastard out then turned to Ria who was gasping on the floor with Cruor next to him, they noticed an L shaped can in his hand and Caleb swore, "Call the Healer now,"
There was no need however as soon as he said it three teachers including the Healer came through the infirmary door and ran over, "It's a blocking spell, the medicine can't get into his lungs," The Healer was male and was knelt beside Ria but the young elf prince was struggling to breath even more and was quickly turning blue, "Right Maria please run to my office and open the floor network to St Mungo's and tell them we have a code red,"
Maria took off quickly followed by the healer who had Ria cradled in his arms gently quickly followed by his friends. They got to the infirmary to see Maria waiting for them with the floo network open
"They have the code red team standing by," Her gave softened as Ria clenched his small hand into the healer's jacket his breaths became too close together
The healer wasted no time with words he just stepped through the floo and arrived in St Mungo's however the floo travel effectively stopped Ria's breathing all together and small boy choked as his hands desperately grasped the man jackets
The healers gathered around him and began cast spells to clear his airway and hold off the spell till they got to a room.
The young elf's eyes opened briefly before fluttering and closing his mind fading to black.
(Was going to end it here but felt it was too cruel to carry on.)
The faint beeping woke him up; his emerald eyes fluttered open but shut immediately due to the harsh light,
"Ria? Can you hear me?" He felt a light pressure on his knee
"We've turned the light down cub, open those pretty emeralds for us," That was Remus without a doubt so with much effort he opened his eyes and took a breath to speak but something was choking him
"Easy Ria, there's a tube in your mouth that has been keeping your airways open, just relax, we'll get the healer to remove it now," Legolas concerned face entered his line of sight and a grip on his and tightened
"Arianwyn I'm Healer Penny Hughes, I'm the Head Female Healer at Nyx Academy," Her face entered his sight and his right hand was held in her own lightly, "I want you to squeeze me hand if you understand me Arianwyn, can you do that?" He squeezed weakly and she smiled, "Good, my colleague Doctor Adam Hughes is the head male healer at Nyx Academy, he is going to remove the tube okay," Another squeeze and her face was replaced with a male
"Okay Ria, may I call you Ria?" The hands were swapped and he squeezed weakly once more, "Very good, I'm Doctor Hughes but I insist everyone call me Adam. Now the tube in your throat has been keeping your airways open but it's no longer needed now you can breathe by yourself I'll take the tube out. Now what you need to do is take a deep breath and when I say now you breath out sharply through your mouth. Understand Ria?"
Another squeeze much stronger than the last which made the doctor smile, "Ready, breath in,"
The elf did so
"And breath out now," He did so and the tube was pulled from his throat making him cough and splutter heavily
"Good boy, easy, sit up, that's it," Adam helped him sit and rearranged the pillows so that Ria could lean back comfortably
"Thank . . . . you," He crooked awkwardly
"Here sip, it'll ease the pain," The water was held up by Legolas, and he sipped slowly knowing if he gulped like he wanted to it wouldn't sit hell
"Thanks, what happened?"
He noticed that the twins were also there, "That arsehole Julius cast an Air-Locking spell when your back was turned," Cian spat venomously and Ria turned his eyes to them, "Spencer was furious, the guy actually smacked Julius in the face several times, broke the assholes nose, jaw and cheek bone,"
"I see,"
"Yea The Headmistress is furious with him but his parents have somehow gotten him off being expelled, we're not sure how they managed that one," Silas spoke is a softer tone than his lover
"But Caleb and Riku think that his parents took it up with the School Creature Board saying that Nyx Academy being the only school that takes in a number of different Creatures Julius should be allowed to continue, and they've agreed however Maria pressed the issue so if Julius acts out to any other student like that again,"
"He's a goner,"
They grinned viciously at each other, "Spencer has also heard that their parents threatened to disown him if tried something like that again,"
"I see, so we'll have to watch him closely then," They shared confused looks, "Well if the guy was threatened to be disowned he may listen or he may just be even angrier, and to be honest anger can make people do stupid things to matter the consequences," He sighed but shook his head, "Well when I can leave?"
"Soon sweetheart, your father is signing you out now, here," Olivia pressed some clothes onto him and they left so he could change in to the jeans and gray shirt they brought with them
He walked out of the room a little shaky but otherwise fine, "How long have been here anyway?"
"24 hours, the teachers are aware of what happened so there will be no hassle when you return. I believe Caleb and Riku gathered the work you need and the teachers are willing to spend Saturday going over what you missed, in fact Adam who is your one of your Healing Teachers said to swing by Saturday Morning and he'll go over everything you missed,"
The elf sigh in relief at least he would miss anything
With that thought he allowed himself to pulled into hugs by his family before setting off back to Nyx Academy with his father and the fire twins
Crappy ending really, might re-do it at some point, but oh well, hope like Cian and Silas my replacements for the Weasley Twins as of course their not in school anymore, does everyone like the Mate/Twin Brother thing? Sorry if you don't but hey I can write what I want
Now then here's my:
Reviewers Corner:
Bitethepagan: Thanks for reviewing ^_^
Yana5: Thanks
CaliCoCat21: Yep he certainly did and there's much more Julius bashing to come (evil laugh) thanks for reviewing ^^
Fae0306: Thank you ^_^
Apheral: awww thanks so much for saying that it was very kind, thanks for the review ^^
HPFANATIC-21: Thanks for the review here are the answers to your questions:
Q: Is Ria going to have Mates of the same species or are they going to be of different species?
A: Well that depends on you guys really, as I stated in the last chapter we are going to meet his Mates in chapters 10, 11, 12 and 13 then in chapter 14 I'll list all of the possible Mates at the bottom of the chapter and you guys can pick which Mate you like most. It'll be one name per review. Then in chapter 16 (chapter 15 will be a filler of something that happened over the holidays) Ria chose's his first mate (which will be the mate with the most votes) then the next chapter the same thing happens with the second mate, then after that I chose a mate. I will be introducing several elves as possible mates but personally I won't chose them however one of the elves might get the most votes – is that too complicated? It certainly sounded like its complicated doesn't it lol
Q: Am I going to describe all the memories Ria lost?
A: I'm not really sure, it could be quite long winded, so maybe only a couple dreams at the start then flashbacks when he gets his Mates. So I suppose I might, and vary them in length, some long some short that sort of thing
Hope I answered your questions properly, and yea that is true if we start with a horrible memory how can we escalate good idea to take it slow ^_^
Hello (Guest): Okay I shall try to include Daphne Greengrass just for you; she won't have a big role though just her popping up in certain classes and giving a helping hand to Ria. I like the idea of being half Veela and half ice elemental as well, I'll put her in some way in the next chapter okay ^_^
ThestralxD: oh wow thanks so much glad you're enjoying ^_^
Makurayami Ookami: thanks so much for the reviews ^_^ they were all fab glad you enjoyed the story so much ^_^
Koolkat555: I'm not really sure to be honest the names just popped in my head when I was thinking of names
Barbasulrico: Wow another long and fab review. Okay as for the Ron raping Harry I'm not sure if I'm gonna included that I like your idea of he tries but Harry's magic reacts and forms a shield, but remember he was already raped by his uncle and that the healer restored his virginity because it was unwilling sex. As for Spencer being the wild card – he is, I just a lot more planned for him and another wilder card up my sleeve (evil laugh). Aureolus is Harry second Soul Guardian and is a Strom Phoenix he won't be in it as much as Cruor simply because he is a phoenix and they are always portrayed as free birds so he kind of comes and goes. Here are the question/answers:
Q: Is Harry/Ria going to explore the woods/forest alone?
A: Most defiantly, actually that's what I got planned for next chapter and guess what – we meet a two potential mate in said forest
Q: Under the Moon? Defenceless?
A: Yes at some point Ria will go in the forest when there's a full moon, and Ria's not exactly defenceless anymore but we'll see how it plays out
Q: Will Ria take his time and date?
A: There will be a few Dates yes, but not too many otherwise we'll be here forever
Q: Will Ria kiss and made out with people without mating or will be like super strict about intimacy?
A: Yes there will be hot steamy kisses between Ria and his potential Mates
Q: Will Ria's friends stay with him with all the drama?
A: Yes the majority will stay but I have a few evil plans up my sleeve for all of them
Okay that's all of them I think, god I love your reviews aye, keep me on my toes so I give enough information away to be good but keep some back to still be shocking hahaha but I enjoy them so keep em coming
Uzu Kitsune: Oh thanks so much, hope you enjoyed this chapter ^_^
