Dumbledore looked at the six first years in front of him, noting the different expressions on each of their faces. Chris and Ron both looked nervous, their eyes shifting to the door then to the Potters and the two Heads of Houses, who stood together off to the right, before they resignedly looked back to the front.
The two Ravenclaw girls on the other hand seemed to be doing a very good impression of the cats that got the cream. They kept sending we-told-you-so looks at the two red headed boys who would just scowl back at them.
But the two that interested Dumbledore the most were the two blond boys…Alizarin was sitting as cool as a cucumber, as though nothing was wrong. He was acting as a proper pureblood, whereas Draco was fidgeting, his eyes belying his fear as they kept flicking to his brother who would give him an icy look. It amused Dumbledore to think that if his theory was correct, a Potter was acting more of a Malfoy than the blood heir. He smiled at the irony then took a deep breath.
"I think you all know why you are here….so who is going to volunteer an explanation?" Silence met the query.
Milly decided to break the silence, which had dragged on for at least five minutes since Dumbledore's question.
"I'm sorry professor but I really don't know why we are here….are we in trouble?" The look of innocence she had adopted made all the other first years smile; they all knew why they had been called.
Dumbledore sighed and looked over the top of his glasses at them.
"I have brought you all here because you have lied in the face of a potentially dangerous situation. First of all," he turned to the girls, "you two were not in the hall when the troll was announced which puts a flaw in your claim to have snuck off to find it… I would now like the truth if you will."
His eyes were hard as he looked at them, making both girls shift uncomfortably.
"We…we didn't know about the troll sir… we were already in the bathroom…" She trailed off, her mother looking at her confused.
"But why were you in the bathroom darling, if it was the feast?"
"She was crying." Alizarin studied his nails, "most girls would be if their brother called them a traitor just because she wasn't a Gryffindor … but at least she wasn't alone in her sorrow, she had Hermione crying with her… she's a smart girl, that one, most muggleborns don't understand what being called mudblood means until they're in second year."
The silence in the room was deadly before all hell broke loose, Lilly going to the two girls and James yelling at the boys while Alizarin just sat as though he hadn't said a thing. Though Snape and Draco were obviously finding it hard to hide their glee at the Gryfindor's woes, especially when McGonagall snapped out of her shocked trance and started her Dragon Act again as she joined in yelling at the two very pale Gryfindor's, making little professor Flitwick squeal in terror and hide behind Snape's legs.
Lilly looked over at Alizarin as the drama continued, her eyes glistening as they took in the calm boy. She had kept her distance from him just like Dumbledore had warned her too, she was scared stiff that if she didn't then he might disappear again, but all she wanted to know was if he really was her missing child, her Harry.
Dumbledore clapped to get their attention again.
"Indeed it seems as though we have solved one mystery. We now know why our Ravenclaws were in the bathroom, now how about you boys tell us your stories….Christopher you start, if you will."
"Er….well-we wanted to er….make sure Milly was…er….safe…look mom I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt her, I was upset." Chris's cheeks were flushed but whether it was from embarrassment or anger was anyone's guess.
"Yes Christopher but what happened when you found the troll?"
"Well we were going to lock it in but realized it was the girls' bathroom, the Malfoy's appeared and we went in. Things were pretty much as granger said except he," he pointed at the green eyed boy, "he knocked the troll out with some strange spell!"
Dumbledore turned to Alizarin. "So it was you that cast Anima Notches, that's a difficult spell that even upper class students find hard…pray tell, where did you learn it?"
Rin looked up at him coldly "my father taught me…the manor was attached by hobgoblins last summer…he wanted both of us to be safe"
Dumbledore nodded then asked McGonagall and Flitwick to take there charges back to their common rooms so only Snape and the Potters were left in the room.
"I see Alizarin, but I have a theory. Anima Notches is a spell only a handful of students ever manage to master ….but I have heard that elves have an ability to learn animal magic a lot easier than humans." Dumbledore raised his wand and quickly cast a very strong anti-glamour at the two boys, causing their glamours to melt and even with as quick as Rin was, he couldn't get them back on before the whole room had seen both of the boys' elf heritages.
"It seems I was correct, in future I would like to know the truth…you may leave now, Severus take the boys to bed, it's late." A furious Snape ushered out the boys, knowing there was nothing more he could do right then.
"Phase one complete, James, Lilly it is only a matter of time till we have him in our control, a dark prince will be invaluable to our cause."
Snape took the two boys to their dorm telling them not to worry; they were protected before going to his own chambers and summoning Lucius.
"You called during a very important meeting, Sev, this had best be good."
"Dumbledore attacked the prince!"
"HE WHAT!"
Snape explained what had happened to a furious Malfoy patriarch
"We need to stop this now! The boys should be at home and taught like all other heirs, Hogwarts is not safe for them!" The blond snapped furiously.
"It is the king's wish that they stay here Lucius."
"Then our king must be persuaded differently … for now, Sev, protect them, the Prince and his foreseen intended are the most important aspects of our future as well as our family."
"I will protect them, as you know I will . . . good luck with Lukeal … the old man can be stubborn"
Later that week Alizarin looked at the broom at his feet a little apprehensively. He had flown before, of course, but only once or twice. He had always been in lessons with his grandfather when Draco had been taught to fly.
"It's a broom Rin… it won't bite you know." Draco smirked at his friend/brother.
"It's ok for you, you learnt to fly with Lusi… oh Merlin, no one told me we had this lesson with them!"
Walking down from the castle where Chris and Ron surrounded by the other Gryffindors who, in Rin's opinion, looked like puppies begging for attention from their star.
Ooooooooo what will happen next you ask lol well you'll have to wait for Monday but I can say the next chapter is a hell of a lot better than this one :P
REVIEW you know you want to!!
Oh before I go do you think I should rewrite chapters 1-5 as they really now as good as the later chapters?
