The party was in full swing now. Hermione was shocked at the way some elfs could act at a formal ball. However she should have known the twins would get the other twins drunk.
Elladan and Elrohir were holding each other up as Fred and George sang totally out of tune I'm a little tea pot. Elrohir was rather more drunk than the other three and it was all Elladan could do to keep his brother up.
The four staggered out of the hall singing while Harry and Ireth laughed. Bran had gone for some air but Harry knew something was up. He had tried to find Bran but had been dragged back in to dance Fred. Now he had his chance and he slipped out unnoticed and headed to his and Bran's favourite tree.
When he got there Bran wasn't alone. Nor was he even conscious. Harry's heart stopped as he saw his love tied up and knocked out. He pulled out his wand and rushed at the person standing over Bran holding out a wand.
Harry shot his first spell but Bran's attacker moved out of its way. That's when Harry saw who it was. Lexus. He growled and flew at him pulling out a dagger. Lexus dodged it and after grabbing Bran tried to run.
Harry however stunned him and suddenly something screamed at him to make it stronger. But he was too late as Lexus broke the spell and flew at Harry knocking both to the ground. However the dagger in Harry's hand sliced open Lexus' sleeve and after the initial spurt of blood Harry spotted a familiar symbol of his arm.
The Dark Mark.
Harry flew into an even bigger rage and he managed to stun, knock out and severely hurt Lexus just as the guards ran over. They looked between Harry and the injured and unconscious death eater. Harry told them to go and get Mithrandir, Dumbledore and Severus.
The three appeared moments later followed by Legolas and Ireth. She went straight to Bran and checked him over and found that he was possibly drugged judging by the glass lying next to the boy. Severus looked at the mark in horror and Dumbledore sighed.
Voldemort had reached this fair world. Harry felt like crying. His only sanctuary was now a well known place and he would never be safe until Voldemort was dead. Bran was carried off and Ireth told Legolas to go with him. She turned to Harry and pulled him into her arms.
The others slowly walked away and once they were gone Harry broke down. He hated his life and his destiny. The only thing keeping him going was Bran. God knows what would happen to Harry if Bran was taken or killed.
Ireth helped him up to the hospital wing where he sat next to Bran's bed and refused to move. She wrapped a blanket around him before sighing and walking out to find Legolas.
Bran woke the next day feeling groggy and sick. Arwen informed him that it was due to the drug. Harry had refused to let Bran's hand go which his love was secretly happy about even though it annoyed Arwen greatly.
The others had popped in and out all day until Arwen got sick of the disruption and locked the door. Ireth told them all to leave Bran alone and go study or train with the guards.
The blonde was stressed out. She hadn't slept properly and was suffering from a hangover. She hadn't found Legolas last night and she still couldn't. Her head was pounding and she was ready to kill the twins when Mithrandir sent for her. She stalked into the private study room of the library and only half-heartedly tried to be polite.
The wizard raised his eyebrow at her but said nothing as she slouched into her seat. Remus handed her some tea. Dumbledore then sat up straighter making her pay attention.
"Now Ireth. We have a few things to discuss."
"Like what?"
"Everything you know about this war."
She sighed. Mithrandir had told them she had seen a premonition. She drank her tea and began to explain.
PREMONITION
Harry stood on top of the astronomy tower alone. His Firebolt rested against the wall next to him as he watched the battle below him. The death eaters had attacked the school wanting Harry.
The students however had risen up against them. Even the Slytherin house was fighting them off. The DA were in the front line and were holding their own. A proud feeling swept through Harry before he got that oh so familiar feeling in his scar.
He looked to the gates and saw him. The rat and Bellatrix were at his sides and Harry's blood began to boil. He went to pick up his broom when a delicate hand stopped him.
His eyes met Ireth's making him stop. Legolas and the twins were there along with Bran. They all nodded at each other before heading into the attack.
All
anyone heard was the cry of six ancient creatures before the battle
really began.
END PREMONITION
Ireth looked up after finishing and saw the tears in Minerva and Remus' eyes. She sighed and asked to be excused before walking out.
Severus had listened to all of this and was quietly calculating. She had not informed them of the full premonition, that much was clear. She knew that something terrible would happen and she wanted to change it. But by not telling them she was harming their chances of changing the battle.
He slipped out and went after her. He was told that she was no longer in the halls of Rivendell and had taken her horse and her weapons. When he heard this he went to find either Legolas or Harry. He came across both with Bran. All three looked up as he entered.
Severus asked Legolas to step out and quickly told him. Harry had also heard and after kissing Bran he ran after Legolas. They didn't know where she could have gone but they had an idea.
Harry got the horses ready while Legolas gathered their weapons. The twins had found out by now and they along with Neville got their horses ready. The five members of Ireth's family rode out of Rivendell hoping to reach her before she crossed the border.
Dear lord this is so lateā¦.it's taken me three months to update and all I have for you guys is this. Sadly my muse has done a runner into the Naruto category leaving Harry high and dry. Plus i've had exams and a million other thing to worry about.
But enough excuses. Read and review please. xx
