"Ahhhh" Harriet dropped the Sleeping draughts that she was carrying; they smashed onto the ground in a series of small ornaments making a stain in the corridor.
Harriet clutched her head she turned around the way she came. "Was that real?" She wasn't sure about it. It sound more like it was in her head, but she couldn't go back to Morgana's room without the sleeping draught's nor could she quench the burning ache in her chest as she power walked back the way she came.
"Help" She couldn't make up hearing that now could she? She still wasn't sure about all this; she shouldn't just be following random voices in her head. What would Hermione say? Did the pressure of being the chosen one finally crack her?
She came out in the courtyard, walking briskly down the steps when the voice made itself known once more. "Help me, please." Harriet clutched her hairline, scanning across the courtyard to people wandering around, things look seemingly normal…well except herself seeing as she was hearing voices.
That was of course until she made eye contact with a little boy in a blue cloak, he looked so young and pale and scared. "Please, you have to help me" Harriet's eye's felt like they where gonna buy out of her head, as she stared blankly at the boy…he was speaking to her…in her mind.
"Oh, please help me." Harriet was stuck looking into his clear blue eyes, until he looked away. She also looked to see what he was looking at, only to see the Knight's questioning people.
When she looked back at the little boy he was already looking back at her. "Their looking for me!" The little boy said in desperation.
"Why?" She wondered, not really expecting the reply he gave her as he looked down, not meeting her gaze.
"They want to kill me" They boy said sadly, making Harriet internally gasp. Looking a little wearier than normal Harriet scanned the courtyard once again, keeping tabs on the knights as she went to the side servant's quarters but kept her eyes trained on the child who was huddled beside a cement block.
"This way." Harriet thought, waving him over, she didn't really think that he heard her and she was willing to run over to him herself. That is when he got up and started running towards her, she waved him along wildly, cringing when the guard caught site of him.
"Hey, He's over here!" She heard one knight call to his fellow knights as he brandished his sword. Harriet was more than thankful when both the kid and herself where given a head start, she kept her hand firmly wrapped around his small wrist as her other hand was wrapped around his shoulder, keeping him closely to her side.
They ran up the stairs thankfully without slipping or falling in there rush, when they where up on the top floor she took a sharp right, until she heard more voices coming there way, she retreated back down the left hall, running down another flight of stair off to the side, forcing the child to keep up with her. she wasn't sure where she was taking them for a moment, until she slammed into a door and interrupted an argument between Darcy and Ronda.
"What the bloody hell potter! Barging in like—" Darcy's caught herself mind rant, staring in disbelief as Harriet pulled an unknown boy into the chamber's, all the while slamming the door behind them.
"Potter what in the world—" Harriet ignored Darcy as she tugged the boy around the far side of the bed, she laid him down softly onto the crisp white sheet's as she threw over a red comforter that hid his body but left the head. She then pulled the gold cords that held the bed's red curtain's in place and pulled them around the bed fully concealing both the bed and the little child.
"Milady! Milady!" Darcy stared hard at Potter, who was nervously standing in place as she looked lost for words.
"Not a word Potter." Darcy hissed, giving her a hard stare as she saw Potter relax.
"Sorry for disturbing you Milady, but have you seen a young Druid boy run this way?" A guard questioned.
"Sorry to say I haven't, I only have my Maid to keep me company." Darcy said with a shake of her head.
"Best to keep your door lock until we find him." The guard said, giving Darcy a nod as she flashed him a smile.
"I swear Potter you have some explaining to do." Darcy said, turning to find Harriet had already pulled back the curtains and was looking at the passed out Druid.
Harriet turned to face Darcy again when she approached the bed, turning her head Harriet lifted up her hand to show the smeared blood that covered the palm of her hand and the boy's side.

"They came to Camelot to collect supplies; he meant no harm, to me that's not necessary for an execution." Prince Arthur told his father, where he stood in the council room watching his father look over documents and reports.
"Absolutely necessary, those who use magic will not be tolerated." Uther said off handedly, putting down his quill to stare at his son. "The druids are a peaceful people." His son tried to reason.
"Give them the chance and they would return magic back to the kingdom" King Uther said, leaning back and taking a sip from his goblet. "Preach peace can spire against me" Uther retorted, placing down his goblet and heading for the door. "Showing mercy is weak."
"Showing mercy can be a kind of strength." Arthur defended, watching his father turn back to him.
"Our enemies will not see it that way, we have a responsibility to protect this kingdom, executing the druid will send out a clear message" Uther said strongly, turning to resume his departure. "Find the boy, search every inch of the city." The King left his son his orders carry out, if he wanted to or not.

Harriet stared at Darcy, who was standing by the window looking out to where a man stood alone on a stage awaiting his execution as he was being put to death.
Harriet sat by the child's side, petting his hair as both Darcy and Ronda stared out the window. You could feel the air in the room rise and fall with tension, awaiting the moment Uther stepped up to address the people.
"People of Camelot!" Uther's voice could easily be heard from the window at how quite the crowd was, almost like the air itself stopped flowing to watch the moment. "the man before you is guilty of using enchantments and magic, under our law I sentence to this crime, Death" Uther spoke with a monition voice, internally killing them all with his drawn out speech.
"We're still searching for his accomplice, anyone found harboring the boy is guilty of conspiracy, and will be executed as a traitor" Darcy took a quick intake of air through her nose, as both Ronda and Harriet shared a look between each other. Harriet did not stop her petting the Childs hair, only bringing her other arm to lightly bring his head to allow him to lean against her.
"Let this serve as a warning to your people" Uther said, directing this comment to the man that stood below him.
"And let your fear of magic turn to hate, I pity you." The man said dead serious, no ounce of fear on his face, no remorse what so ever only true general loathing pity.
"I can't see this." Ronda said weakly, but Darcy barley heard her. she watched in battered breath as the man was forced to his knees by the executioner, his head placed on a chopping block, while the kings hand was raised. And with the lower of his hand, the axe was brought down, severing his head from his body.
"NOOOOOO" Harriet clamped her hands over her ears; it wasn't helping any seeing as the young boy gave a bloodcurdling scream it in her mind. She was startled when the mirror that was next to Darcy's head shattered, making Darcy jump out of the way as it cracked and broke into pieces making the fragmented go everywhere, luckily no one was hurt.
Harriet sat next to the child whom the fragments didn't reach, Darcy jumped out of the way, and Ronda was at the other end of the room, throwing up in a water basin.

Hermione hid her face in Merlin's chest as the axe came down, killing the unfortunate man. She felt so sorry for him, his life token away all because of his magic; his parting words couldn't have been truer.
"Come on Hermione, let's go back and see Gaius." Merlin whispered into her hair. Hermione nodded her head, allowing Merlin to guide her into the physician's chambers and as far from the tragic scene as he could.
"Merlin…Hermione" Gaius opened his arm's allowing Hermione to fall into them as she needed a more fatherly comfort. "I-it was-so t-terrible!" Hermione gasped, to shocked to even cry for the poor man.
"I know, but you get used to it, living in fear of death is constant under King Uther's law if you have Magic." Gaius said, having double meaning's which both Hermione and Merlin picked up in different ways.
"That man was a Druid, do you know much about them?" Merlin questioned, wondering about them but saying it hesitantly in case it would upset Hermione.
"Very little, a very secretive people, especially now that they are being hunted by Uther…please don't tell me either of you got yourselves missed up in this?" Gaius questioned on the end.
"No, we haven't, we spent the whole day together I'm sure we both would have noticed if the other found a wandering Druid." Hermione said, calming down enough to think logically again, angry at how her emotion's had clouded everything.
"Good, because Merlin is a terrible liar and would certainly get you both killed!" Gaius attempted at a joke, making Hermione snort a little at Merlin's disgruntle protects.
"You know I best be going now, I'm sure that Harriet would be worrying about me!" Hermione's thoughts didn't linger on the fact that Merlin and Gaius tensed as she said her goodbyes and that she would be back later.

"Hermione!" Hermione turned to see Harriet run towards her, stopping for breath as they walked the courtyard watching as knights pillaged the place, searching for the druid.
"That poor boy, I hope he's gonna be ok where ever he is." Hermione commented sadly, making Harriet nervously laugh, the only kind of laugh she gave if she was either up to no good, caused trouble, or was lying sometimes all three.
"Harriet lily potter what have you done?" Hermione demanded, using her whole name to get a point across.
"Well…"

Hermione couldn't believe it, but lying right there on the bed was proof that Harriet in fact saved the Druid boy and was planning to sneak him out of Camelot.
"This is so dangerous!" Ronda said, looking at the boy who had a slight temperature. "Really Weasley we had no idea." Darcy retorted sarcastically, gazing down at the boy as Harriet smoothed out his hair from his sweating face.
"What happened?" Hermione questioned, Harriet jumped right in with an explanation.
"I found him hiding from the guards and saved him by hiding him in the room, he's lost a lot of blood! Apparently from a guard cutting his side, I'm worried about him Hermione, he's so pale…" Harriet trialed off in worry, looking down at the boy as he breathed slowly.
"Who is he?" Hermione questioned, coming to examine the kid. "He hasn't been responsive enough to say, so I haven't a clue." Harriet said sadly, watching Hermione check him.
"You know something I agree with Weasley, this is very dangerous." Darcy said, making Harriet stiffen for a moment until she started shaking with rage.
" what. of. it. !" Harriet bit out, glaring madly at Malfoy who seemed very calm even though Harriet looked like she would ripe off her face at any moment.
"Just saying." Darcy offhandedly said, throwing her hair over her shoulder in a don't care motion.
"See to that" Harriet huffed, but stared back at the boy. "He's just a child, he hasn't done anything wrong why does he need to be punished?" Harriet whispered quietly, only Hermione could hear her.

"So will he be ok?" Harriet asked, looking worriedly down at the boy.
"He should be fine, but we have to keep an eye on him." Hermione said, reassuring Harriet some.
"I plan to spend the night with him; you all can have the tent." Harriet said, curling around the child, wary of his wounds.

"She seems quit attached." Darcy commented as she plated her hair into braids.
"Ya, she's really compassionate about these types of things…not that you would know Malfoy." Ronda said, mocking Malfoy in the process of agreeing with her.
"Harriet's just scared for him; she was the one who saved him after all." Hermione said, putting down her book as she got under the covers.
"I hope the kid will be alright." Ronda said, jumping onto her bed, her long red checkered pants hanging down over her feet making it hard to get a grip on the bed to push herself forwards.
"Knowing the brave hearted idiot that is Potter, I'm sure she would do something that might get her killed in the process of saving the child." Darcy said while rolling her eyes as she finished plating her hair.
"I'm sure things will be fine in the morning, and when things calm down we'll find a way to get the kid to safety." Hermione assured them, turning off the lights as the others got into bed.
But as she turned over that night she couldn't help but feel a little unsure on it. Like something horrible was going to happen.
