Luminescent Nocturne Chapter 21

A/N: So I accidentally made Ron Theo and Neville's boyfriend and mate so I guess we're going to have some strange things happen coming from this odd threesome. I mixed up Ron with Neville for a moment so I figured why not? Let's have Red get cozy with Naughty Nott and Neville the Brave. –MoonlitShadow

Hogwarts Castle 2:00 a.m.

Alga sighed and crossed her leather clad legs over one another as she leaned back in the wooden chair behind her desk.

Her steel toed boots clanked together as they sat on the hard wooden top of her desk.

Raking a hand through her long raven hair, she tried and failed yet again trying to find some explanation as to how she got herself into her current situation.

Alabaster had flooed her several times already and she knew that Lordes had made his way into town and was lurking in some God awful dark corner.

How on earth she had managed to survive over six centuries with those two was a complete mystery.

You'd think that a Vampire Council made up of ancient vampires would consist of an entire panel of highly skilled and trained vampires that had dealt with every type of supernatural issue under the sun.

Well, if you thought that then you were certainly misinformed.

The so called high Vampire Council that ruled over the UK consisted of three ancient, yet completely unprepared and definitely not skilled or talented vampires.

Alga didn't know why the Council still existed.

It wasn't like their kind listened to any of them ever.

Yet here she was, sitting alone in a darkened classroom waiting for the two other idiots to arrive.

The Council had been formed just as a formality and the rules that supposedly were made for their kind to follow had become merely suggestions at this point.

Twisting a piece of her hair around her perfectly manicured nails, she let out a huff of annoyance.

It had been two centuries since she had seen either of her supposed companions.

Lordes had disappeared somewhere overseas and Alabaster was last seen in some muggle bar drinking away for eternity.

Her eyes squeezed shut as she began to rub her temples.

The headache that was building behind her eyes throbbed painfully as Lordes' voice echoed through her mind.

'Really, Ally. You'd think that the school would have much better security. Three minutes and I'm already inside the main hall. I can't wait to see you, darling. It's been too long.'

His velvety voice cooed.

Alga rolled her eyes and let out a growl.

She had gotten rather good at avoiding her two mates, yet they had always managed to find her one way or another.

'These are the bloody bathrooms? What are we in the sixteenth century?'

Alabaster's voice said cockily making her headache intensify.

A ringing sound jolted her out of her thoughts as she placed her feet back on the ground and dug her cell phone out of her messenger bag.

Pressing the talk button she smiled when the person she had been waiting to hear from spoke into the other end.

"Fucking hell, Alga. Did they manage to find you again?"

Eliza's smooth southern accent exclaimed making Alga's dead heart warm even if just for a moment.

"Apparently."

She responded as her worst nightmare's appeared in the doorway of her classroom.

"Ally! What have you done to your hair?! It was exquisite just as it was! Now you've gone and utterly ruined its color with that horrid black and red."

Alabaster gasped as he and Lordes descended upon her.

Alga rolled her eyes and tuned out her mate's voices as she turned back to her best friend of a 1,000 years.

"Did you happen to get the pics I sent you, Lizzy? I thought they looked like the work of an ancient. I may be wrong but then again I haven't been wrong since what? 1565?"

She teased as Eliza barked out a laugh.

She glanced up and watched as both her mate's took a seat at a row of desks in the back of the room and began to give her their trademark "you haven't talked to me in centuries and this is what I get?" look.

Alga knew that they weren't going to stay quiet for long so she had to make her phone call short.

"Did you get a hit in the system from the bite marks?"

She asked as she heard Lordes sigh heavily.

Eliza paused for a moment as the sounds of a keyboard clicking were heard in the background.

"I tried matching them to every known ancient in the database. There weren't any hits except one."

Alga leaned forward and held her breath as both Lordes and Alabaster jumped up and stalked towards her apparently intrigued as well.

"It's him, Alga. It's Sanguini. He's the one who attacked the Potter kid and his friends."

Eliza breathed out as the phone fell from Alga's hand.

Both Lordes and Alabaster let out loud growls as they watched their undead mate become even paler than she already was.

"Alga? Alga are you there?"

She vaguely heard Eliza's voice say.

Lordes sighed and picked up the phone as Alabaster took their mate into his arms and began running his fingers soothingly through her hair.

"Liz, it's Lordy. How are you darling? Yes, she's here. Yes, we understand what this means. Yes I think it's best if she rests right now. I'll tell her you send your love. Oh thank you, dear. You know how we always love it when we can finally track her down. Goodnight now."

He said calmly before hanging out and placing the phone onto the top of the desk.

Alga's breathing became strained as she looked up into the eyes of her tall, pale green eyed lover.

Alabaster's eyes had always been her favorite.

It also didn't help that he had the silkiest smooth long blonde hair that she had ever seen either.

Lordes came into view as he bent down beside them.

He was equally as stunning with his long black hair and blood red eyes. It had been a long time since they all had been together.

Too long, she realized.

She had seemed to have forgotten how wonderful it felt to be in their arms in times like this.

"Ally, love please say something."

Alabaster said as his eyes scanned over her features in concern.

She shook her head and buried her face into his chest as blood red tears began to fall from her eyes.

Lordes and Alabaster exchanged a look.

It had been centuries since any of them had seen their Maker.

Sanguini proved to be a hard vampire to find once he had appeared.

He tended to migrate from country to country marking his Children for his own and then abandoning them to often die out of sheer madness.

"He's back Bassy."

She sobbed as Alabaster nodded gravely and soothed her as best as he could.

"The fledgling's don't stand a fucking chance against him."

She bit out as Lordes cursed under his breath. That's right. There were fledglings involved.

The chances of all of them making it out alive were slim but that never the less didn't deter them for trying to help.

"Where are they now, love?"

Alabaster asked gently as Lordes picked up the phone and began making the necessary calls.

"London. The west side. They're with Severus."

She said quietly as her tears continued to fall. Alabaster cradled his shaken mate in his arms and got to his feet.

They all were in for quite a fight.

If Sanguini was in the area and had lost control, many more young witches and wizards would die at his hand.

Deciding that now was the best time to make their exit for the night, he nodded to Lordes who gave him a halfhearted salute.

Clutching his mate tightly in his arms, he apparated them far away.

Death was coming. And it was coming for them all.
