Chapter 33
Blackcat followed Lil onto the roof and took as seat. She let her legs dangle over the edge. Many Gryffindor students did not know if this little get away from the common room. Usually they found out in their sixth year, or unless they had and older friend who told them about it. There were two ways of getting to the roof. One was to climb out of the west window. There was a small ladder carved out of the side of the tower by many a student climbing to its peak for sanctuary. The other way was thru the sixth and seventh year dorm windows. Both the boy's and girls windows lead onto the roof easily.
Blackcat sighed and looked at Lil.
"Sorry Cat. I know something is bothering you. Heck after the last couple of weeks you've had, I can't blame you for being mad. However that's still no reason to snap at Harry. He was only trying to help."
"Lil, you know me better then anyone, I've told you things. Heck you even knew about my nightmares. You're the one who was there for me when they got really bad."
Lil smiled at Blackcat.
"Right before your little Druid games. I remember, you would wake up yelling. It's ok Cat. We all know how that goes. Your not the only one to loose a loved one to him. Look at Harry. He lost both his folks and had to grow up with muggles. Some of the worst ones, or so I've heard. He doesn't talk about them much."
"That's not what that was about Lil." Blackcat said as she looked over the school grounds.
"Then what is it about Cat? We used to talk all the time up here. I know you've been thru hell. Now tell me what the sudden change is about? I really want to try and help." Lil replied.
"I don't know if you or anyone can Lil. Really, I can't explain what is really going on because I'm not sure of it myself."
"Didn't Dumbledore try to help you? Did you even ask him?"
"I did Lil. He gave me this book to try and answer all my questions. I can't get it open at all. It has some blasted lock charm on it that I can't break." She replied as she pulled the book out again.
"Did you let Lei have a look? She's good with charms."
"No, Dumbledore said my gauntlet will open it. Only thing is I can't get it to work for some reason."
"Gauntlet?" Lil asked.
Blackcat raised the sleeve of her cloak to reveal a golden bracelet. It reflected the moons rays.
"Um, Cat, that isn't a gauntlet. It's a bracelet. You sure you didn't hurt your head when you were a were-wolf?"
Blackcat turned to her and for the first time smiled a bit.
"Funny Lil, very funny. This is it, it is in it's dormant stage. It looks flashy enough. To bad it doesn't fit with my look."
"You got that right Cat. I've never seen you wear jewelry, except for you mom's ring. And your always wearing black. I figured it was a fashion statement." Lil giggled.
"You know Lil, you were always one to make me laugh. Thanks I needed it."
"No problem Cat, glad I could help. Now for that book, mind if I look at it?" Lil asked.
"Sure." Blackcat replied as she passed the book to Lil.
Lil looked it over and as she turned it over she gasped at the marking. She looked to Blackcat and then to the marking again.
"Lil you ok?" Blackcat asked. She was puzzled by Lil's sudden expression of seriousness.
"You say you got this from Dumbledore?" Lil asked.
"Yes, I did. Is there something wrong Lil? Blackcat questioned.
"Um, I have to talk to someone, but let's just say Cat, your more important now more then ever."Lil smiled and hugged Blackcat.
"Ok, now I"m a warrior, a chosen one and a special person, and I still can't open a little red book. Oh boy am I the great one or what."
"Hey don't put yourself down Cat. You will know it all sooner then you would have hoped." Lil smiled as she went into the window by the dorms. Blackcat sat on the roof thinking of the book, her gauntlet. The new powers she was supposed to have and everything that happened to her this year.
"Oh this just gets better by the moment, doesn't it."
Suddenly there was a white flash of light beside one of the towers. Blackcat looked over with puzzlement. "Who is there. Show yourself?" There came no answer. All she could hear was the rustling of the leaves on the trees.
"I'm asking again. Who is there, show yourself now!" Blackcat demanded.
Still there was silence. Fearing something bad she pulled out her wand. She stood up and looked over at the tower. She saw no movement. The shadows seemed to shift a bit and she felt scared.
"I have my wand out and I'm not afraid to use it!" She yelled.
Again silence. She took a step toward the tower and heard a footstep behind her. She instantly spun and said a spell at the same time. The spell hit the person behind her. His whole body went ridged and he fell to the roof. When she saw who it was she instantly bend down to help.
The unfortunate Harry lay helpless on the rooftop bound by a full body bind.
"Harry, I'm so sorry, really." Blackcat said. Her voice was shaky.
Harry couldn't move, but he saw something behind Blackcat and tried to yell anyways. Unfortunatly it was of no use.
Two dark figures grabbed Blackcat from behind as she tried to do the counter charm. One of them placed a hand on her head and Harry watched at she passed out. The two men glared at Harry and he heard one of them say "Chosen of Dragon, you are now wanted by the elders."
The men disappeared with Blackcat. Harry couldn't yell or try to help. He remained motionless staring at the stars until someone came looking for him.
It was only a matter of minutes before Lil returned. She noticed Harry laying on the roof and Blackcat no where to be seen. She walked over to him and noticed he was petrified.
"Oh dear, don't tell me you got her angry again." Lil giggled and preformed the counter charm. Harry instantly sat up.
"I need to go to Dumbledore, they took her."
"Who took who Harry?" Alex said as she climbed onto the roof. "Where is Cat? We were gonna work on that book of hers."
"You mean this one Alex?" Lil asked as she held up the book.
"Yes, did Cat give it to you? Where is she Harry?" Alex asked again.
"Gone you guys. They took her." He spat. "Who Harry?" Lei asked as she also climbed onto the roof.
"Two men, dressed in black. One placed his hand on her and she passed out. They took her. Talked about some chosen of the dragon." Harry rubbed the back of his head. It had started to hurt because he banged it on the roof.
"We have to find her. What if they were Deatheaters?" Lei asked.
"We have to tell Dumbledore. He will know what to do."Lil replied.
"Guys, she is safe. If what Harry said was right. She will be ok." Alex answered. There was a bit of a mystery in her voice.
"Then what do we do?" Asked Harry.
"We wait." Came a gruff voice from the shadows.
"Come out of the shadows where we can see you!" Lil said as she spun around to see who it was. Her fear subsided a little. "And how long have you been listening?"
"Long enough to know you can't help her. None of you can. All we can do is wait."
"Buzz off Rais. We have to find her." Lil replied rather angrily.
"Suit yourself. But from what I saw they have no intentions of hurting her. Since they belong to her clan anyways."
"And how can you be so sure Rais?" Asked Alex.
"Because they both bore the mark of the white dragon. God of the Dragon clan. They were the escorts."
"What are you some sort of professor?" Harry asked.
"No, I'm just a good listener and observer Mr. Harry Potter." Rais said as his eyes gleamed a bit from under his cloak.
"Come on guys, it is chilly out here. Time we all got back inside. We will inform Dumbledore in the morning what happened. He will know how to go from there." Lei said, her prefect leadership taking over. She escorted them all back into the common room to wait.
As the night drew on most of them went to bed. Harry however stayed up by the window waiting to see if Blackcat would return.
A/N.. Thinking of ending it here. To make way for the new story. Let me know if I should or if I should keep going with this long one.
