Chapter 37
(Ebony P.O.V)
Harry was worried, and he wasn't telling me why. He had just had his divinations exam. Something must have happened during it, but what. I sat next to him, reading, hoping he'd tell me what was wrong soon. He'd sent a letter off with Hedwig, but I didn't know what it was about.
He sighed. "Ebony… I think Trelawney may be less of a fake than we thought."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Something happened during my exam. She sorta went into this trance, and spoke in this hoarse voice. She said something about a servant who'd been chained breaking out to rejoin his master, who would rise again, more terrible and powerful than before."
"You think it's about Voldemort and Pettigrew?"
"Yeah." Harry said. "It… it scared me Eb. The whole idea of Voldemort terrifies me." He admitted reluctantly.
I pulled him into a hug. "We kew it was only a matter of time until something happened. But he's not back yet. That gives us time to train. And enjoy what little time we have left until we are plunged into this unavoidable war. But we can't let it get us down. We can do this. Together."
"You're right Eb. I've sent a letter to Sirius, letting him know what happened. So, how was your Aritmancy exam?"
"It was good. I'm glad I was able to switch, and catch up in time to sit it. Hey, how do you think Hermione gets to all her classes?"
"I don't know. Maybe she'll tell us at the end of the year."
"Yeah, Look, I'm going upstairs to get some sleep. I haven't been sleeping well lately."
"I know. Maybe you should go see Madam Pomfrey about those dreams of yours."
"I'll be fine. Don't you worry about me." I said. I kissed him, and stood up. "Oh, by the way Harry, I don't know whether you know, but your mutation comes with a perk."
"What's that then?"
"You have a sort of venom coating your teeth. It's enough to knock anyone unconciouss for several hours. And you can pass it on to others."
"How do I do that then?" He asked.
I smirked, and kissed him, and then left.
The end of the school year came quickly. The only bad part of the last half of term, was that Peter Pettigrew escaped. Harry, Hermione, Luna, Neville and I were all in one compartment on the train back, just messing around and having a laugh. Harry kept trying to get me to tell him how he could pass on the ability to knock people out with a bite since I'd notified him of the ability. I'd always give him the same answer.
"I've already shown you how to do it."
It puzzled him to no end, but I think Hermione had figured out how it was done. Thankfully, she hadn't let on that she knew, and was letting him figure it out for himself. It was good for him to work some things out on his own.
When the train pulled into the station, we all got off, smiling, and we said our goodbyes.
"Neville, don't you dare go back into that shell of yours during the summer." I said, punching him lightly on the shoulder. "Or I swear I'll drag you back out, kicking and screaming."
Neville had really come into his own this term. I was glad. He had the potential to become a great wizard, and he was a good friend, even if most overlooked him.
"Don't worry, Jynx. I wont." He assured.
"I'm glad to hear that. Have a good holiday. Write to me."
"I will." He said.
"And the same goes for the rest of you. Don't forget to write." I don't know why, but I felt the need to be assured that they wouldn't leave me.
"We wont Eb." Harry said. He kissed me gently on the lips. "Have a good holiday."
"You too Harry." I said, and I hugged him. I hugged Hermione, Luna and Neville, said goodbye, and went to find dad.
It didn't take long, and soon, we were out of the station, and heading to a hotel for the night.
"So, this extra ability you said you were able to pass on." Dad said, when we were in the room. "Any chance you could share it with your old man?"
I sat down on my bed. "No."
"Why not? It could help. Being able to knock someone out with a bight, definitely a good ability to have."
"No. I don't want to. There is no way in hell, I am passing it on to you. It's embarrasing."
"What is?"
"The way to pass it on."
"Oh come on. It can't be that bad. I could use it to my advantage as well you know."
"Yeah, but-" I was quelled by a look. "Oh, fine." I huffed. "But you never tell anyone about this."
"Fine." He said.
I stood up and walked over to where he was leaning against the wall. I leant up and kissed him on the lips. As soon as I was sure some of the venom had passed between us, I broke it off, and hurried into the bathroom, closing the door behind me. Just so long as nothing like that happened again. This summer was going to be a good one.
