Well here it is chapter 14. Anything in bold happens elsewhere, and is more or less something the audience knows that the main character does not.
It was that Neville kid. He looked like he had been roughed up. Not beaten up, but definitely like he had just been in a scuffle.
"Did you just fight off all those Slytherins?"
"No," I said "what Slytherins?"
"The Slytherins that just walked past…" his eyes dropped to the trail of blood.
"Don't ask, because I won't tell."
"Did you…?"
"Not telling, but if you must know they are perfectly fine."
"I don't believe you." He raised his wand
"Neville just calm down, if I did kill them, what makes you think you would be able to stand against me. I was outnumbered and won. You don't have that advantage." He lowered his wand. "Besides they wouldn't be worth the trouble."
A young girl stood out in the field. No one ever understood her, except the snakes. Her family was about as white trash as could be. An alcoholic father, a mother who couldn't let go of him, living in a beat up trailer, her life couldn't be much worse. Her father would kill her if he knew she was a witch. Sometimes her wand talked to her. It seemed to be aggressive, and it seemed to be wise, and seemed to know what she thought. She was talking to a rattlesnake wrapped around her arm.
"Why not just kill him?" the snake said.
"Because if I did then I would just make things worse, mom would be sad, and I could get in a lot of trouble."
A loud crack was heard. A man in white robes appeared. These seemed nothing like the white sheets her father kept hidden int the closet, there was definately no hood with cut out eyes. Her wand seemed to act on its own accord. A streak of red came out. The white robed man deflected it.
"Little girl do you know how special you are?" the robed man asked
"Don't listen to him, he is pure evil! I know of his kind. They want you under their control. We must run. We must hide. If all else fails we must die." Her wand's voice ran through her mind. She was about to run. She remembered the snake wrapped around her arm. The man noticed that she spoke in the snake language, though he did not know what she said.
"I need you to attack him."
"Is he your father?"
"No, but he may be just as evil." Her wand glowed, and the snake flew off her arm, hitting the man in the neck. The snake's fangs sunk into the man. He was temporarily stunned. The snake slithered back to the girl, and a loud crack was heard as her wand yet again took acted of its own accord. The man knew there were others, and he knew rattlesnake bites weren't deadly if you received anti-venom quick enough. He appeared instantly at the nearest muggle hospital with a loud crack.
The girl appeared in a desert, the journey she had just taken felt like being squeezed through a small tube.
"Rattles where am I?" the girl asked her wand.
"Welcome to Death Valley California, the perfect place to hide." The wand replied in her head.
"It is nice and warm here." The snake said, commenting on the morning weather.
I will include other Indian wand users being hunted down by these strange people, and the girl may or may not come back. I want reviews, even flames, maybe even spam. I know there are readers out there. Expect the next two chapters to be action packed as we learn how everyone reacts to thhe D.A. being discovered, and what (if any) role Dale may play in the department of mysteries.
signed the good dr.
p.s. Can anyone guess what Dale's middle initial stands for? Remember it is E. Don't feel intimidated by the question, and you have three guesses.
