Chapter 15

Later that day

I sat up, gasping. I looked around and sighed. I was in the medical wing, I got up and walked to Poppy's office. Zar, who had been laying beside me, was beside my every step. She told me to be careful but I could go. I walked out and down to the Main Hall. I opened the door and walked in, everyone got quiet as Cho stood up and handed me a new paper retracting Rita's story. They called it lies and were reviewing Rita's other stories. I smiled and nodded to her. I looked over but didn't see my family, Cho smiled. "They are outside, flying to distract themselves."

"Thanks." I grabbed some food and walked outside to see them, I smiled as I walked to them. Zar hummed as we got closer. I waited until I was standing beside Hermione on the ground to talk. "So what did I miss?"

Everyone frose and turned to me, Hermione gasped and hugged me. Suddenly I was being hugged by everyone as I laughed. Sirius was the last one to get me, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just fine. Sorry, I couldn't take it anymore." I told him, he nodded.

"I understand princess. What a lift?" he smirked, I nodded. He got on his broom, I climbed on infront of him. "Hey Mya, contact Oliver." She nodded as he took me up. He flew around the school. "Princess, why did you make him leave?"

"So I wouldn't have another person to worry about." I held my arms out, closed my eyes and flew the wind as he flew faster.

"Hold on." he whispered. I opened my eyes, grabbed the broom as he flipped us over and took us over the lake. I giggled, letting one hand go to touch the water. He flipped us back over and took me back. "I use to do that with by brother, when he was younger. I wish I could have saved him but thank you for giving me back his memory."

"Your welcome daddy." I leaned back into his chest as we land and join the other. "So really, what did I miss?"

"Uncle Sev ripped into Dumbledore." Draco laughed. "It was amazing, then he said he talk to Fudge about Dumbledore's so called plan. Amelia went off on Rita."

I gasped, "Rita!" I jumped off the broom, ran back to the school. Everyone was following, I ran into Amelia, "Where is Fudge and Sev?"

"Severus' office but..."

I didn't wait, I ran off. Amelia sighed and joined the other as they chased after me. They caught up with as I walked into Severus' office, "Elsa?" I held up my hand and began to look around, then I found her. I giggled, jumped onto Severus' desk with an empty jar and slammed in against the ceiling catching her inside, I closed her in and got back down. Severus looked at me, "Elsa?"

"Oh, sorry. I can wait until you are done now." I smiled.

Fudge laughed, "We had just finished."

"Oh! Good, Amelia you now the spell to turn an animagus back to human form?" I asked she nodded. I held up the jar, "I warned you." I shook it sightly the dropped the dizzie beetle on the floor, Amelia did the spell and suddenly the beetle was Rita Skeeter. I laughed. "Oh poor little buggy, Dizzy?"

"You think you can make a fool of me!" She growled at me.

I smirked. "No! I think I can get you sent to Azkaban." I pointed to Fudge and Amelia, Rita turned and gasped. "What now, Rita? What is your next big story?"

Fudge nodded to Amelia, who smiled. "Rita Skeeter, you are under arrest for being unregisted animagus."

"But she is one as well." Rita shouted, pointing at me.

Fudge laughed, "Actually, she registered but you were talking about the Dragon, she doesn't have to register that because she is a Drake." Rita gasped as Amelia had her dragged away. Fudge turned to leave but added. "Elsa, when you do show everyone your other form, I hope that I am there."

I smirked, "I will see what I can do Sir." He laughs as he walked out, I sigh and sit down. "Well three down, two to go."

"Three down?" Severus asked.

Hermione finished, "Two to go?"

"Hey you two act a like enough, no being twins!" I pouted, they looked shocked and I laughed. "Anyway, three down. Dumbledore, Rita and Fudge. Two to go, Peter and Dolores Umbridge." I growled her name as my eyes flashed black, I shook my head, "But she is next year." I sighed and closed my eyes. "Now how many days until the second task?"

"Six days." Hermione stated. "Viktor, Fleur and Cedric are ready, are you?" I smirked at her before falling asleep in Severus' really comfy chair.

The day of the Second Task

I woke up with a start, I had Zar stay with Harry. I changed into my water clothes, grabbed my wand and the shrinking sword and ran out the door. I ran out the door with the others as we raced to the Lake. We took a boat over to the make shift dock, I got there and panicked. Fred wasn't there. Cedric reached for me, held me close. "Deep breaths, it will be okay. You will save him."

I nodded as we walked to the platform, I stared at the water as I ate the gillyweed. I faintly heard George screaming at Dumbledore as the gun went off and wee jumped into the water. I swam deep into the lake, searching. I could my heart pounding through my whole body, I smiled softly as I saw Harry come into view but stopped short at the sight before me. Only Harry, Cho and Gabriela were there, no sign of Fred. I swam to Harry and looked around. Viktor, Cedric and Fleur showed up and looked confused. "Go. Take them, I have to find Fred."

Cedric looked at his watch then back at me, I nodded and motioned them on as I swam off. Viktor grabbed Harry, Cedric took Cho and Fleur took her sister, cut the ropes that held them and took off to the surface. I knew that they would say something but couldn't worry about it now. I closed my eyes, Please if you can hear me. Help me. My brother is here, I need him. I do not have much time before we are out of air. I swam around looking for any sign, I felt my body slowing down when I heard it.

Speaker. Over here. I turned around and swam to this underwater cave, Fred was tied to the entrance. A small snake was resting on his shoulders, He does not have much time. We must hurry, Elsa.

I smiled, A friend of Salazar's? The snake nodded it's head as I cut him free, I gripped his arms and pushed off the bottom of the lake. We rose to the surface but a small group of merpeople laid before us. I growled as one stabbed my with an arrow in my side, reached down to my shoe, pulled out Godric's sword and resized. "Problem?"

They screamed and swam away as the gillyweed and spell wore off. I put the sword back, pushed Fred toward the surface before me. I gasped for air as my head broke the surface but Fred didn't move. I screamed, "FRED!" I heard shouts as I held him above the water.

I heard someone jumped in, moments later a felt arms wrap around me, "I got you Elsa." Marcus whispered in my ear, I cried out as he swam us to the platform. "Almost there." Fred was pulled up first, Marcus lifted me into Sirius' arms, I tried to get away from him and get to Fred. George knelt beside him as Marcus lifted himself out. "Elsa..."

I saw George break down and screamed, "Fred please, come back to me."

I screamed as I fought against my dad, "NO! FRED! YOU ARE NOT LEAVING ME! GODRIC PLEASE, NOT LIKE THIS!" I broke free from Sirius, rushed to his side, raised my fists and slammed them down beside Fred, there was a flash of light, Fred began to float, I watched him as magic flowed around him and run through his body.

A light appeared beside him, when it faded there stood a image of Salazar, who smiled at me, "Rest dear sister. I would never let this young prince die. Do not fear, he shall rise again. Godric sends his love. Until we meet again Elsa." He faded and Fred drifted to the ground as I cried out in relief. I wrapped my body into his and held him as he began to breath again.

"Elsa?" George whispered, I gripped Fred tighter and he sighed. "It is okay now Elsa." He ran his fingers through my hair, "Rest, I will watch over you both." I grew relaxed and gave in to the weakness in my body.

The Next Day

"You think she will wake up soon." Fred asked, "I am hungry."

George laughed, "Just give her time, you did die."

Fred frowned, "I know. Do we know what happened?"

Sirius growled, "Nothing that we can prove. Sorry son."

"Don't be, it was no body's fault." Fred smiled as he kissed my hair, "No one's."

I groaned, shifting into him, "Hungry."

"Well you have to get up to eat, Elsa." Fred laughed.

I gasped, sat up and smiled at him, "Fred." I hugged him and kissed his cheek. "You are here."

"Of course I am, you wouldn't let me move." Fred rolled his eyes, I smirked. "Let's go eat." I nodded, we stood and walked down to the mall hall where everyone was eating. Everyone stopped talking when we entered, Fred sighed. "I know we are sexy but really?"

I giggled, "What's up?"

Cho stood and walked to me, handing me a Daily Prophet. "It arrived this morning."

I looked down and growled, Lady Gryffindor, Slytherin's sister. Lady Ravenclaw Lord Slytherin's future bride. Lord Hufflepuff, Longbottom Squib? Is there evil in the future? Can they be trusted? I looked at the writer, Tari Tersete. I growled "That witch, that's it. No more playing nice." I growled, "KREATURE!" He appeared beside me, "Neville, now!" Neville confused, jumped up and ran to my side. I turned to Kreature, "Take me to the Longbottoms NOW!"

James gasped and stood, "Elsa!"

"No, I have had enough. This ends now." I growled as my eyes grew black. "Now Kreature."

"Yes, my Lady." Kreature bowed, grabbed my arm as I grabbed Neville's and we were gone.

We landed right next Frank, I turned to Neville, "Trust me?"

"Yes, Elsa what?" Neville asked.

"A miracle." I stated as I turned grabbed Frank's hand in my left and Alice's in my right.

I closed my eyes and I pulled my drake power to the surface. I eyes shinned brightly as the wind picked up around me and I focused on the memory Helga had given me. I felt my magic reach their minds and I let it take over, slowly healing them. Alice gasped as Frack sat up in shock. They looked around as I felt my magic snapped back into me and I fell to the ground. Alice stared at Neville, "Neville? Baby, is that you?"

"Mom?" Neville whispered, "Dad? You remember?"

"Yes." Frank growled, "How?"

"Lady Gryffindor. Elsa Black." Neville whispered.

"Yes, she gave us that memory, along with the ones were we know has happened this last year." Alice smiled, "So Lord Hufflepuff, baby that is amasing."

"Why did she do it?" Frank asked as he stood up, the healers came in but he waved them off. "Neville?"

"This came out this morning. It is from Rita Skeeter." Neville handed them the paper, they growled.

Alice hugged him, "How dare she? Frank."

"Yes Alice, let's get to the others." Frank stated as he lifted me into his arms. "You brought them here?"

Kreature nodded, "Yes, my Lord. I shall return you." He snapped his fingers and we were in the Main hall.

James laughed as he ran up to Frank, "Glad you could join us, let me take Elsa."

"James. It is good to be back." Frank smiled as he looked around before his eyes landed on Sirius, "What are we doing about Rita?"

"Take her down." Sirius smirked as he walked up and hugged him, Lily ran up and hugged Alice, who giggled.

"Of course Siri but how?" Alice asked.

"Figure that out later!" Fred snapped, they turned to him, "Why isn't Elsa getting up!?"

They all turned to me, James set me down but my legs gave out as I screamed, James swore as he lifted me again. I sighed, "Freddie?"

"Yes Ellie?" Fred stepped to my side.

"Relax." I smiled, "Just need to recharge."

"Unfortunately Dear sister, you don't have time. Rise." Salazar's voice stated as he stepped to my side.
