"Parstletongue"

Chapter Eleven- Awakening

The first thing Arya noticed when she woke up was that she was in a room that was almost completely bare. Stretching Arya winced as the cut on her leg stung. Remembering how she ended up in this position Arya tried standing up to get to the door but she collapsed as soon as she stood on her legs- it wasn't because of the huge gash that had now stopped bleeding but because she hadn't stood on two legs since she was dumped in the forest. Since then she had always been on all fours- even in human form. Sighing Arya sat against the bed on the floor and looked at her wounded leg.

Had she still been in the forest it would have been infected by now, at least her captors had the decency of stopping the bleeding and wrapping it up in a bandage. She tried reaching the alpha through her mind but found she couldn't, she then used her magic to feel any wards that where up; she found a fidelius charm up which explains why she couldn't connect to the alpha's mind.

Drawing her magic back into her body she could sense her brother in the house along with five other children and seven adults. If she stayed here for long enough then her twin bond with her brother would fix which meant that she had to get out as soon as possible.

Living in a forest and with wolves for so long had enhanced her senses, therefore she decided to use them to her advantage and tried to pick up any conversation she could. She managed to pick up a conversation between one of the adults and the children

"I must warn you not to enter the room at the end of the second floor, children. Particularly you Harry" The adults voice whom Arya recognised to be Dumbledore's said.

"But why sir?" Arya recognised her twin's voice immediately. She heard a sigh

"It could be dangerous for you" Dumbledore replied with finality. Arya pulled away from the conversation knowing that it was the end of it and instead searched for another.

She was in luck this time there was one between five adults "...all I'm saying Potter is that you all should be careful of her, she may hurt you for abandoning her or she will try and get sympathy out of you and use it against you" it was the same voice Arya heard shout at her 'father' for cutting her but she couldn't place the name.

"Believe me Alastor, I have no intention of getting close to that brat" her 'father' said, Arya would never admit it but that hurt her. She had always hoped that they still loved her but obviously not.

"Sirius, Remus, Lily?" the same voice (who she presumed was called Alastor) asked expectantly.

There was quiet for a moment before another voice said "I agree with James, and if that girl hurts my godson she'll pay" she recognised that voice as Sirius Black's; again she would never admit that it hurt to hear him say that.

Arya could almost see Alastor turn expectantly towards the other two people. "I-I won't fool for her tricks mad-eye but she is my daughter and I do regret sending her away so I will try and connect with her again" Lily answered; Arya felt a little hope at that but didn't want to risk hoping too much in fear of getting hurt again.

"Just be careful" Alastor grunted.

"I don't believe my goddaughter would hurt any of us. But I will be careful" Arya's godfather Remus said; Arya felt glad that her godfather held some faith in her. She pulled away from the conversation not wanting to hear any more and decided to focus on trying to escape.

Arya wondered around the room that she was imprisoned in on all fours- she wasn't going to risk shifting into her wolf form. She was looking for anything or any way that would help her to escape but came up with nothing. Reluctantly she went back and sat against the bed. Her scar started hurting and before she could stop it she was sucked into a vision.

Lord Voldemort was royally pissed as he was torturing the Death Eater that was brave enough to give him this information. "What do you mean they have captured the girl?!" Voldemort roared, Voldemort's snake hissed in fright as the screaming got louder.

"Massster, you will break him. You will allow the girl accesss to your mind" Nagini hissed in warning, reluctantly Voldemort lifted the curse from the pathetic Death Eater.

"Leave before I change my mind" Voldemort ordered; after a lot of stumbling, the Death Eater made it out of the room. Voldemort turned to his familiar

"we mussst get the girl out of there before she joinsss Dumbledore's sssside" he hissed to his beloved snake.

"We do not know the location though. Besidesss the girl would never come with you willingly" Nagini pointed out.

Arya managed to climb out of the vision before she saw anymore. Before she had time to brood on the vision the door creaked open revealing Albus Dumbledore, a man with a weird eye, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and her parents.

Arya went on all fours and growled at them in a wolf like way as Dumbledore shut and locked the door. "Arya I hope you have made yourself comfortable in your room" Dumbledore began, Arya simply growled louder at him.

"Stop that pathetic growling girl before I make you" the man with a weird eye threatened; Arya stopped growling but snarled at him all the same. She analysed all of the people in the room her eyes lingered on her supposed mother for a moment and Lily smiled at her slightly. Arya glared at Dumbledore but moved on to Remus, the man she wanted to talk to.

Arya knew that Remus was a werewolf and therefore should know the meaning of what she wanted to say. Looking at Remus straight in the eye she said "Absque pack nihil sumus" Remus looked surprised at first but replied still holding eye contact

"Praesens, et futurum, semper pack" he then added on "I'm sorry, I broke the code. Forgive me?" Arya thought for a moment but nodded her consent.

They other adults in the room looked confused. "Amongst wolves there is only one rule, all wolf-like creatures live by- being a werewolf I am included in that. The wolves call it the one true code. It basically says that the pack is everything and that the pack should look out for each other. Arya is my goddaughter and therefore part of my pack. I broke the one true code" Remus explained.

"I believe we should get on with the questioning" Dumbledore said. Arya growled and backed away ready to fight if need be.
