Chapter 10 Fortune Couky
After the Order Members ate their breakfast they seemed to break off into their own groups, some went off and started their shift of scouting Hogwarts. Since she had cooked Tonk had offered to clean and Carina smiled and thanked her because truth be told her knuckles and fingers felt like they were tying to break off, and her hips were killing her. She sighed and sat on the sofa beside Remus.
"Your not supposed to be here, are you?" He asked turning to her with a raised eyebrow.
"No, but I can't sit in a hospital bed for another second." she admitted but remained undefeated.
"Why, it's better for you." Remus said sternly with concern behind his hardened eyes.
"I will take any potion that I need to and I was under go any spell and charm that will be of any use, but I'm telling you I can't sit there and allow my mind to just wonder. I'll become depressed and depressed patients don't respond will to any magical remedy, so you see the best cure for me right now is to remain active."
"Alright, but whats with the sudden battles with depression?" Remus requisitioned.
"I think about him, and a thousand different horrible scenes play through my mind, and of course my dreams are haunted with even worse." She answered as she leaned forward and positioned her head into her hands taking deep breathes.
"Carina." he said tenderly and scooped her to lean on his shoulder as he hugged her. "We'll get him back, alright."
Carina shook her head in agreement but she couldn't help think that she needed to find a way to get him back to them as soon as possible.
Kingsley came through the floo then and walked up to Carina with his hands on his hips and standing his full height in an intimidating stance looking at her. "Madam Popfrey called me in to the hospital wing in a panic because one of her patients went M.I.A. you wouldn't happen to know anything about that now would you?"
"Oh, I didn't even think she would care, or remember." Carina answered, growing bright red with a blush.
"What do you mean she wouldn't remember her patients? She is notorious for being the fussiest mediwitch in the U.K."
"I know, I know, but I'm so used to having my old concealment charms and just leaving and her not even remembering me. To her it's one of the first times she's met me, but I've gone constantly since I was 3 years old."
"Well, you need to go and get back in that bed." He demanded.
"No, but I will go apologize." She smirked to Moody who had just huffed at her. "Good bye all, I'll see you tonight for the meeting."
Carina stepped through the floo and into the hospital wing, where she was immediately attacked by the mother hen that is Madam Pomfrey. Finally after having five potions shoved down her throat she was allowed to leave. Or she got her chance to run full speed from the hospital wing.
She decided to ask her mother about her job, and if she still had it. So she made her way to the staircase guarded by the gargoyle. She felt a few tears in the brims of her eyes as she gave the password and ascended the stairs. Just as she was about to knock the door swung open and she looked up to meet blue eyes with brown ones.
"Oh, Miss Dumbledore, it's good to see you are alright, we were rather worried to wake up to your empty bed." Smiled Mr.Wright.
"Oh, I... don't like hospitals." it was lame but it was all she could offer.
"Well, who does, I must say it was quite the shock thinking I had slept through a person dying beside me. Then of course Madam Pomfrey went on the war path and I realized my assumptions were just that." He smiled down to her, then he noticed the tears. "Are you okay, did I hit you with the door? Or was it something I said? I always say the wrong things."
"No I, I was...like this before I saw you. And I can't believe you'de make a joke about my dying beside you." she laughed out trying her hardest to change that stupid subject.
"I know odd sense of humor, now please forgive me for I must be off, Oh and I hope to run into you again soon."
"Thank you and yes, its been a... pleasure." she smiled through her fib.
She watched him walk down the stairs before she turned and knocked on the large wooden door in front of her.
"Come in!" Called her mother.
"Hello mum." She said as she crossed the room and sat herself in the most comfortable chair in the room.
"O thank Merlin, I thought it was that daft man Mr.Wright, back for some more insipid jokes." she said as she messaged her brow.
" Yes his sense of humor is rather unseemly. But thats not why I'm here, I was wondering about my job."
"What about it?" Headmaster McGonagull asked.
"Is it still me job?" Carina ventured.
"Of course it is child. Now I hate making this meeting so short but my new DADA professor is heading up the stairs." She walked over and hugged her daughter before she left.
Before exiting Carina turned at the door and said. "By the way, I would like to continue the training we stopped, please."
Her mother was shocked but nodded.
Carina went after her meeting to get Lachlin and then to her old office, she hadn't been in it since she had left Hogwarts. She unlocked and unwarded the doors and entered. The house elves had kept it in good shape, it was dusted and swept she could tell. But there was a staleness about it, you could tell it hadn't been used in a long time.
So she sat about getting ready for the new year, which was a few days away. She remembered last year and decided to go and buy some new phonics books for any children struggling with reading, and some knitting needles and yarn. She did a million other things that popped into her head that she had needed the last year. Anything to stay busy and keep going.
Lunch arrived faster then she thought it would, and she made haste, with Lachlin right behind her, to get to the Great Hall. She rounded a corner and stopped on a dime when she saw Sybil Trelawney was standing there with a glazed look in her eyes.
"Sybil?!" Carina squeaked, she was a bit freaked by her just now.
Suddenly the women began to shake a bit and then in a horse voice she began.
"The fate of the Doves quest lays in one word.
When the Dove learns that Right isn't always Right.
A choice of two roads she will have to choose.
The fate of her life as while as her own,
She will hold in her hand.
Life and Death, War and Peace converge
On what road the Dove chooses."
The voice subsided and Carina stood in complete bewilderment of what had just happened. She didn't hear Sybil entreating her, if she was alright. And she didn't hear the whispered 'nutters' and Sybil walked away. Who was the dove?
