My luck seems to be turning around.. (Love to see how long that last)...
Anyway... this chapter goes a little deeper into Cindy's past than I expected... but... oh well.
So... the Disclaimer...
Disclaimer; I don't own Harry Potter, or the Pokemon games and references... all I own is Cindy and Kial, and any other OC and spell that doesn't appear in the books or movies...
Cindy Hiolna's POV
I rubbed my arms as we walked through the jungle, "Can I please just magic on some actual shoes?! These are killing me!"
"I'm still wondering..." Draco groaned as I pushed a branch away from us, "Why here? Why in South America?" I looked away.
"Well... I was thinking of... Cin... where were you thinking?" Kial glared at me.
"I wasn't!" I snapped, "I was thinking of the second worst place I could be at that very second... and we ended up here!"
"Why?" Draco groaned as I finally magicked some high-tops on, "What's bad about here?"
I looked ahead of me, "I'd rather not talk about it."
Flashback... 11 years ago...
"Mommy?" I whimpered as I walked through the jungle, "Daddy?"
I heard a snake and I started running as fast as I could.
I fell to the ground a few minutes later and I turned to see that a snake had been following me. I covered my face with my arms. But, when I thought the snake would strike, I looked to see a boy with black hair, tan skin, wearing a green tank-top and light brown pants was hissing at it, making it go away.
I looked at the boy who turned to face me. "Você está bem?" He asked.
"Um... Sim... Sim... Estou bem." I nodded quickly.
The boy held out his hand, "Sou Amável, Inglês."
I frowned for a moment before I took his hand, "Meu nome é Cindy Hiolna... e eu estou perdido... Eu falo inglês."
Amável smiled softly, "Okay... Cindy..." He put me on his back, "Can you tell me where you were before?"
I nodded slowly, "I think..."
Amável laughed gently, "Tell me the way."
End of Flashback
I shook my head, forcing the memory away. The only good thing that came out of that was meeting Amável... whose name, I found out, meant 'Kind' in Portuguese.
The rest... well... turns out my Mom and dad had forgotten that I went exploring and had gone back to helping a Real Estate agent get back to their hotel.
I sighed, "Can we Apparate now?"
"No." Kial rolled his eyes, "I don't get why you don't wanna be here anyway... you said it was fine when you visited here."
I stopped walking and growled, "You know I was lying right?! I hated this place."
"I'm not an idiot." He rolled his eyes.
"That can be called into question." I scuffed.
"Heard that!"
"You were supposed to!"
We continued to walk till we came across a familiar house.
I frowned, "Hey guys!"
My two house rival friends walked over with me, "What is it?"
"I know this might sound strange..." I walked up to the door, "But... I know this place..."
"How?" Draco frowned.
I shrugged before I knocked, "Hello? Anyone home?"
The door opened and I saw...
"De jeito nenhum." The man behind the door and I breathed out in Portuguese.
I heard Kial clear his throat and I shook my head a little, "Amável... Faz muito tempo."
Amável smiled softly before raising a brow at the boys, "Amigos seus?"
"Sim." I nodded, "Podemos entrar? Nós andamos por algum tempo..."
"Oh... Certo." Amável nodded and let us in.
"Thanks." The boys nodded back as we stepped inside.
"Obrigado." I told him in Portuguese.
Amável shook his head, "É bom te ver novamente Cindy ... mas você sabe que eu falo inglês também, certo?"
I cleared my throat, "Certo... Mas eu finalmente consegui isso."
Amável chuckled softly, "Cindy..."
"Alright... fine." I rolled my eyes a little before I looked over at my two friends, "Oh... Amável? These are my friends... well... one of them's my boyfriend..."
"I'm Kial Biralion." Kial raised a hand.
"Uh... Draco Malfoy." Draco pulled me closer, "Her boyfriend."
Amável nodded, "My name's Amável Inglês."
"Doesn't that mean-" I stepped on Draco's foot before he could finish.
"Not the time." I hissed.
"So... what are you doing here?... and why do you look like you came from a wedding?" Amável looked us up and down.
"Uh... it's a long... complicated story..." I answered simply.
"You wouldn't understand." Kial added.
Amável folded his arms, "Try me."
7 hours later...
"Eu te disse."
"Não há maneira lógica..."
I pulled out my wand, "Queres apostar?"
Amável stared at it, "Que magia?"
I shrugged before I looked over at a vase. I nodded to it and he nodded slowly. I pointed my wand at the thing, "'Accio Vase'." The vase floated down to the table we were sitting around.
Amável started at me, then the vase, then got up and started pacing, "Não! Não! Não é possivel! De jeito nenhum!"
"Amável!" We called out to him. He stopped and turned to us.
"Calm down." I begged, "Please... Amável... you knew me before I knew I was a witch... please don't freak out... or kick us out..."
"We don't have anywhere else to go for the time being." Kial added.
"Please?" We chorused.
Amável sighed heavily, "Okay... but on condition."
"Shoot." I nodded.
There was the sound of a baby crying and I pressed my head to my hands.
"Tell me it's not what I think it is..."
"That's my condition. Take it or leave." Amável instructed.
I was about to say 'leave' when Draco answered for me... and not what I wanted to say either. "We'll help."
"We will?"
"Come on... how hard could it be?"
3 days later...
I pushed Draco out of bed, "Draco... your turn."
"Kial's actually." He grumbled as he got back in bed with me.
"He's out with Amável." I groaned, "So go."
Draco grunted before he got up, then pulled me with him, "We'll both do it... she always screams when it's just one of us."
"She always screams when it's just you." I retorted as we walked into the baby's room.
"Whatever..." Draco rolled his eyes before we walked over to her crib.
I looked over the edge and smiled at her, "Hi Jacinta."
Jacinta, who had been crying, smiled at me and Draco before the latter picked her up. She screamed and Draco gave her to me. As was usual when we were doing this together.
"Shh... there, there... it's okay..." I whispered as I held her close to my shoulder, and patted her back lightly, rocked her softly and bounced a little on my feet, "Draco's not scary..."
I gave her back to said boy who groaned softly before doing as I did, "There, there, it's okay..."
Jacinta slowly stopped screaming and I saw her lean against Draco, sleeping.
I put a finger to my lips as Draco slowly laid her back in her crib and we slowly walked out of her nursery.
We slowly made our way back into our room before I heard the front door open loudly and Jacinta started crying again. "Kial!"
Said boy poked his head in, "My turn?"
We nodded stiffly, "Your turn."
He groaned and walked into the baby's room.
I pulled Draco close to me as we laid on the bed, "Sorry for this..."
"It's okay." Draco kissed my cheek, "At least we're together."
I smiled as I put my hands in his, "Always."
2 days later...
I rolled my eyes, "You're never gonna get her to say your name. In any language."
"Come on, Jacinta... say Draco." Draco smiled at the baby girl, "Draco."
"You're nuts." I laughed softly.
He continued to try, "Draco."
"Dr...go..." Jacinta said.
"Yes!" Draco smiled proudly before he gave her to me, "Told you so."
I shook my head, "I stand corrected." I started rocking Jacinta softly. I smiled gently at her as I started humming softly.
"What is this place,
Filled with so many wonders?
Casting its spell,
That I am now under...
Squirrels in the trees.
And the cute little bunnies.
Birds flying free.
And bees with their honey.
Honey..."
Oooh, what a magical place.
And I owe it all to the Pegasus race.
If I knew the ground had so much up its sleeve,
I'd have come here sooner, and never leave.
Yes, I... love... everything...!"
Jacinta giggled gently as I finished and clapped her hands a little.
I smiled at her before I put her back in the crib.
"You're great with her." Draco noted as we tucked her in for a nap.
I shrugged as we walked out of the room, "I don't know... I just like people smiling."
Draco smirked, "Hufflepuff."
"Yeah, yeah." I rolled my eyes as we walked into the kitchen, "Hey... question?"
"Yeah?" Draco frowned as he started up the stove.
"...Do you think about... I don't know... Hogwarts? I mean... it's our Seventh year..." I trailed off as Draco put in some spaghetti.
"Of course I do." Draco agreed, "But... I know there's something else on your mind."
I sighed, "Yeah... North-East... I'm worried about it... you know? Lucius and... Narcissa have been there..."
Draco tensed at the mention of his mom, "Cin... please... stop it with the worrying about that house..."
"And Fawkes... I'm worried about her too." I added.
Draco looked at me and smiled gently, "Okay... good point... but we can't just leave yet."
"I know." I sighed, frowning, "And I know we've got bounties on our heads."
Draco took my hand, "Hey... don't worry... we'll get back to them... soon."
I shook my head, "I know... but-"
"Cin, what have I said about 'but's?"
I smiled gently before I kissed his nose, "Good point."
He laughed gently before he pulled me close and kissed my lips, "I love you."
I smiled, "I love you too."
1 week later...
I looked at the new jacket Draco got for me, "Dude... no."
"Come on... it's traditional Brazilian clothing." Draco had his arms folded.
"Dude... no." I repeated and shoved it into his chest, "I'm fine with what I'm wearing."
"You can't wear that black jacket." Amável noted as he leaned against the door-frame.
I groaned before I took it off, "It's hot outside anyway."
Draco rolled his eyes, "Besides... it's our turn to go shopping... and I can't speak Portuguese well yet."
I rolled my eyes too before I grabbed my bag, "Fine... let's go."
"Thank you." Draco smirked as we walked outside the house.
"I need to talk to you anyway."
Draco sighed as he followed me out, "Whatever it is I'm sure it's-"
"I looked it up." I interrupted him, "There's a Death Eater coming here within the next few days... if we don't leave before then..."
"I'll ward the fields." Draco decided, "We can't leave... not until the time is right..."
I sighed before I looked at where I hid my wand in my back pocket and was reminded of Dumbledore's late sister. I shook my head, I'm gonna be fine... I hope.
Draco took my hand, gaining my attention, "You were spacing out... you okay?"
I nodded quickly, "Yeah... yeah... I'm fine... let's just... I'm sure the Daily Prophet was dropped around here... here..." I pulled out my cell and sent a text to him with everything we needed, in English then Portuguese. "I'll go find it... you get what we need."
Draco jumped when the phone in his back pocket vibrated, "Really?" He pulled it out and looked at it, "How exactly am I supposed to get all this?"
"There's this thing called 'Interacting with the townspeople'. Try it." I patted his back.
Draco groaned and raised a brow at me, "Wait... why are you going off on your own?"
I rolled my eyes, "Draco, come on, we've barely been apart the last... almost two weeks!"
Draco smiled gently, "Just asking... but really? Why?"
I sighed heavily, "I was just... remembering something about Dumbledore..."
"Fawkes?"
"I'm a remembering a 'she' for sure..." I murmured softly before I sighed, "Look... Draco... I'll be fine... if any Death Eater comes to attack... I know my spells."
Draco Malfoy's POV
"And they do too..." I put a hand on her cheek, "Cin-"
"Draco, just go. We're burning daylight as is." She instructed.
I groaned, "Fine."
Cin smiled before she gave me a peck on the lips, "Meet you back here in half an hour?"
"I'm not that stupid. I can get these in 10." I folded my arms.
Cin scuffed and patted one of my arms, "Your cute when your delusional." I groaned softly before she started to walk off. "Half an hour."
I groaned, "Fine!" I started walking, and I couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with her.
I mean... it's not Cin to just... wanna be alone...
My phone vibrated again and I looked down to see another text, Draco, I'm fine... Half an hour. I promise.
I sighed and texted her back, 'Just... be careful, Love.' I had a feeling about the next text so I sent another one, 'And don't say, "Careful is your middle name".'
Killjoy!
I laughed gently as I put my phone in my back pocket and I continued my trek to the Shopping district.
Half and hour later...
I groaned as I walked into the woods again with at least five bags each on my arms.
"That's the last time I agree to Cin-" My soft rant was cut off by a scream of pain from said girlfriend.
I dropped the bags and ran to her side. "Cin!"
"I..." She coughed as I helped her sit up from where she laid on the ground, "I'm fine..."
"You won't be for long."
We looked up and I pulled Cin out of the way just as Yanxley was about to hit her with a curse.
I sat her against a tree, "Don't move."
She rolled her eyes, "Do I have a choice?"
I smiled softly before I got up and pulled out my wand, "Now you..."
"Don't even try to fight me... traitor!" I ducked under a spell Yanxley was was about to hit me with.
"Trust me... I will." I hissed before growling, "'Sectumsempra'!" The spell hit The Death Eater dead on. He fell to the ground and I saw blood seeping from his wounds.
I looked at my girlfriend, "Cin?"
"Go ahead... he's not innocent at all."
I nodded before I looked at Yanxley, "Not really sorry, Yanxley... 'Avada Kedavra'." The green light erupted from my wand and struck the man as dead on as the first spell.
I rushed over and helped Cin up the second I pulled out. "Thanks..." She breathed out weakly then punched my arm, hard, "Even though-"
"Don't start..." I shook my head, "Prophet?"
"Right here." She held it up, "Groceries?"
"Over there." I pointed to where I left them. I ducked under slap she was gonna give the back of my head and lead her over to them. We picked them up and started back to the house.
10 minutes later...
"Finally! I thought you two'd died or something!" Kial gripped as we put the bags on the kitchen counter.
"Or something." Cin retorted, "We had a Run-in with a Death Eater. Yanxley."
Kial shivered, "He dead?"
"Yep." We nodded.
"What spell?" Kial frowned.
"...Snap's." Cin lied. I nodded in quick agreement.
Kial looked between us before nodding slowly, "Okay... Cin did you get the Prophet?"
"Right here." My girlfriend put it on the counter, "Five sickles says it's got a new list of Muggleborn names that are wanted for questioning."
I took her hand, "I'll take you up on that bet... but I doubt it's got you in it."
Kial looked through it, then groaned and gave it to me, and gave Cin the five sickles, "And Draco..."
My eyes were glued to the list.
Granger was on it... Finnigan was on it... Thomas was on it... Flitch-Fletchley...
My heart stopped when I came to the last name in bold letters:
Cindy Hiolna shall be brought in and will be questioned before the Dark Lord.
I couldn't take my eyes off the words, "No... no... this is bad... this is really bad."
Cin took the paper and rolled her eyes, "You've gotta be kidding me."
"When was this made?" I looked at the date then cussed softly, "Yesterday... great."
"Explains why Yanxley came here... they're probably searching every lead on me there is."
I took her hand, "We're not gonna let them take you."
Cin shook her head, "And who said I was gonna go down without a fight?"
"Well..."
"Guys, I'll be fine." Cin rolled her eyes, "I can handle myself in a duel... I'm just a little out of practice with my magic..." She gripped her wand from her back pocket, sighing.
I frowned and looked at Kial who's eyes went wide, "Cin... that's what's got you so upset?"
"What else would it be?" My girlfriend narrowed her eyes, "I've been repressing my magic since we started staying here."
"You're not gonna do that anymore." Amável walked over to us.
"Uh..."
"Cindy, you're not going to become an... what was it again?"
"Obscurial." My two friends breathed out.
"Right... you're not gonna become that, because you're gonna use magic... and don't say you can't because I'm a muggle."
"Well... we can't. It's against Ministry-"
"The same Ministry that's fallen into chaos?"
"Good point."
I took my wand out, as did Kial, then looked at Cin, "Well? What do ya say?"
"Well..." I suddenly got drenched in water, "I say; I should run."
"You better." I ran after her, hearing her laughter as she ran. I smiled as I followed.
Kial Biralion's POV
3 days later...
"You've gotta be kidding me!" I snarled as I took the daily prophet from Cin's grasp while she was reading.
"...And two purebloods are wanted for questioning." She finished a look of annoyance crossing her face, "I believe it."
"Two purebloods... gotta be me and Kial." Draco noted as he sat beside me, a soda in his hands.
"Or Neville and Ron." Cin reasoned gently, "It can't all be about-"
"Sorry pal... but it's all 'bout us." I handed her the paper again.
"Shit..." She hissed. Draco hit her side. "Ow! Will you stop that when I say a bad word?!" The Platinum-haired boy simply shrugged.
I shook my head a little, I love these two together... the only thing missing was...
I groaned as I put the paper down, deep in thought. I missed Hermione... we haven't been able to send a single message to each other, and I was worried something was different with the story... so much so that she'd be captured by now.
"Kial!"
I turned to the others, "What'd I miss?"
Draco pointed to where his drink was, now spilled over the paper, "She did it."
"I did not. You let go." Cin countered.
I laughed softly, shaking my head, "You two bicker like Ron and..." My voice trailed off when I saw the picture on one of the Daily Prophet pictures.
It was Hermione being taken by Death Eaters.
Draco was quick to grab me when I stood up, "Mate... calm down."
"Calm down? Calm down?! I can't calm down! Hermione's my girlfriend! I need to be there for her!"
"And you will." Cin noted as she waved her wand and the soda went back into the cup, drying the page.
"Yeah... but when?!" I snapped angrily.
Cin tossed me the 'Deathly Hollows', "Read it."
I rolled my eyes, but did as told and jumped to my feet, "Are you nuts?! We are not going tomorrow!"
"I don't hear you coming up with any suggestions."
I groaned and sat back down before I threw the back in Draco's lap, "Fine! But I'm not gonna like this."
"We know... but it has to be done." Draco sighed.
"I know..." I looked over at the baby's room, "But... I'm worried... if we get caught like Hermione was to when they were going to infiltrate the Ministry….."
Cin followed my line of sight then smirked lightly at me, "She finally grow on you?"
I sighed and nodded, "Jacinta may be loud... but... yeah."
"Come on mate." Draco pulled me back down, "We'll get out of there safely... and with Hermione."
I sighed as I looked at my girlfriend on the parchment, "I hope you're right, Draco... I really hope you're right."
"Right with what?" Amável walked in.
I showed him the book and Cin told him the plan. "Think it's a good idea?"
Amável sighed, "I don't know guys... it sounds risky."
"It's a risk we're willing to take." Draco decided.
"But... we might not make it back..." Cin added.
Amável nodded, "Understandable... you may wanna pack your things and send them wherever you think you'll end up."
We nodded and went to our separate rooms.
I sighed as I looked down at my Hogwarts uniform. Why I magicked it here in the first place was beyond me... but I still kept it with me to remember the good times with my friends.
All the good times.
Here you go...
The next chapter was a bit out there for me, and a little extravagant... but... well... you'll see when you read it next time.
I hope you liked this chapter, please review with your thoughts if you did.
Next Week, next chapter.
