But she had to stand up. Even if the simple memory of Castiel being overwhelmed by the darkness was almost as painful as the spell he casted on her... She turned her head to face him, like to ask him to say again what he just had told. But his gaze was lost in Dean's, who was slow by wlow understanding how the situation was big. What wasn't Isil's case, who spoke. « That's an even bigger reason Castiel … Let her be.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- I can't ! screamed the death eater facing her./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Why not ? Asked Gabriel, who wasn't understanding either./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Because if anyone knows, she'll die » Castiel looked down at his feet, and Dean helped him to sit on one of the couches. Today definitely was too long... But he owed them some explanations. « When I was eight my parents had another child. I didn't know what had become of her, I thought she was dead for several years. But when You-Know-Who asked me to disappear, I investigated on that too, just to be sure. That was the first time I disobeid him. I found the child, my parents had told me she was dead, but I found out they gave her to a muggle orphanage... She was eleven when I first met her. And I taught her how to control her gift. Then I hid her, I protected her from anything that could happen, made proofs of her death, I even used the imperium for, when time came for her to be free, it would be with Kevin. When the family who adopted them died, I put money from my own inheritance to the one she touched, so she could buy this house. I bribed the persons she wanted to work with for her to have everything, without ever stopping to protect her... If anything happens to her I don't know if I ever would forgive myself.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Cas... It's all going to be fine. We're going to solve this, but first you have to think about yourself... That must never happen again... Ok ? »/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"Castiel nodded, his eyes deep into Dean's. Nobody spoke, or moved, except maybe Isil, who could be heard from the kitchen. Soon, a sweet smell invade the all place, and each one of them stood up at their own rythm, Sam and Gabriel setting up the table while the others were sitting, starving. No matter what the witch had prepared, no one could have said what it was. But it was the best meal they've ever had./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"Once they were done, as they were all digerating, sitting around the table, Isil stood up and started to clean the table. When it was empty she stayed up and looked at each one of them. « Maybe you should get some rest. It seems your days will be longer and longer from now on.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- What about you ? Asked Johannes. You're as tired as we are.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- I have a few messages to send. I have friends that might take care of Charlie, but I need to contact them as soon as possible. They could also help us watching if there're any new births... But for you Castiel, I have to ask Dumbledore.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- And what are you willing to ask to an old sying senile, exactly ? Interrupted Castiel./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- He's the only one I know who understands You-Know-Who enough to know what is happening to you, and how to solve this. Or if he doesn't know, maybe he could point us to somebody who might be able to help.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Fine. But take care of Charlie first. I'll go see Dumbledore by myself tomorrow morning. »/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"On those words, Isil nodded, and apparated, leaving them alone. Small by small, strenght came back to them, just enough to go to bed, one behind the other, two by two. Dean and Castiel locked themselves in their room, and weren't heard from until next morning. Sam looked at Gabriel before entering into his room, the master following him inside. Then the door was closed, too./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"Rozary had noticed that Johannes had followed her, just like Gabbriel did with Sam. She noticed too that it wasn't really disturbing, besides the red that took her cheeks when they changed before getting into the bed, each one on his side. She already had slept with the druid... But never had she been in such a state of full consciousness when it happened. It was the first time, and it was quite akward. She didn't dare to move, fixing the ceiling, as still as a tree... Why not moving ? After all, they were bounded, what could possibly happen to them ? Castiel had told her, it was the most beautiful thing that could happen... Maybe that was what made her move. Or was it the fact that she could feel Johannes besides her, in the same situation, not daring to move, but calling her without even willing it ? She didn't want to scare him, yet she desired so much to be against him that soon, without even understanding how and why, her head was resting on the druid's chest, one of his arms around her shoulders./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"She enjoyed this contact, her cheek against the young men's torso, this warmth that was growing inside of her as she could her his beating heart, and raised her head, slowly, gazing into that ocean that was waiting for her. Slowly, her lips tasted his neck's skin then, before she could control anything they just became whispers, sights, and chillings./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"It was more than wonderful. Finally she felt complete, now, she could finally realize how powerful their roots were, how she cared about the young man... And it lost in the hypnotic gaze of Johannes that she understood that he did, too. No matter if they succeded or not. They would be together, no matter what happens, and would do anything to protect those who in a few days only became their family. And nothing else mattered.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"When Rozary opened her eyes, the sun was high in the sky, and a sweet smell was floating in the house. Her eyes searched for Johannes' for a few seconds, then thind them, then all became just perfect. Like if, today, all would become right. And they got up, silently dressing up, enjoying this feeling of goodness that was filling them for the first time in a while./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"As they were getting downstairs, they heard several voices coming from the living room and the kitchen. By coming in, Rozary saw professor Lupin, professor Snape and Castiel takling in the couches. Dean was sitting by their side, but didn't say anything, just like Gabriel, who was listening to the conversation from the table, his hand absent-mindedly on Sam's, who was talking with Isil, and two men and two women Rozary didn't know. The two men were muggles as she could see, just like the older woman. The youger, a blond girl, seemed familiar... They were together at Hogwarts a few years ago. It was marvelous to see so many forces unify themselves, and also terrifying. But she greeted the men in the living room, as happy as relieved as she was to see her teachers again, sitting at the table and starting to eat, not willing to interrupt anyone. « Rose, Johannes, allow me to introduce you to Ellen and her daughter Jo, Ash, and Bobby. They are the friends I told you about yesterday./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Why are professor Lupin and professor Snape here ? Intrrupted Rose, whispering./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Castiel went to see Dumbledore first hour this morning... I don't even think he has slept at all, answered Sam./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- And what did he say ?/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Nothing. He wasn't available. But Lupin and Snape arrived a few minutes after he came back, they're talking about a possible cure.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Is thit so bad ?/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"We don't know what it is, Rose, interrupted Lupin turning his head to face her. It's more complicated that we think because of Castiel and Dean's roots./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- And what if we were using that bound ? Asked Gabriel. I was thinking about a ritual for the boys, so they could have their totem animal... That'd be a goos exercise for each one of them, and would make Dean stronger, which could help Castiel.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- The ingredients Dumbledore indicated us are more powerful than anything that exists, said Snape in a slow voice. Mixing them could kill the happy couple if they misuse them. No animal could change anything about that.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Severus, this is about a kind of magic we don't know anything about. Maybe that could work... »/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"Rozary wasn't understanding anything anymore. Maybe she wasn't the only one, because Sam's vision suddently became foggy and she saw in the same move Dean, Castiel, but also professor Snape standing up and look at the druid with interest. She could see, because of the energies surrounding them, that the two wizards were using legilimancy to share Sam's vision. Dean, him, was using the bounds he shared with his brother to understand what he was feeling, and help him in this absent moment. Then, all came back to normal, under the looks of the four strangers, who still hadn't spoken./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"« Sam... What did you see ?/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Charlie... Castiel, why couldn't you read my vision like usual ?/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Because you've rooted with the master druid, idjit, suddently answered Bobby. He protects your mind from all intrusions, even if he doesn't know how he's doing it./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Has you seen where she is ?/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Scotland, I believe.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Garth is over there, said Jo looking at her mother./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- All right. Ash, you locate her. Bobby, you explain everything to Garth, They can't find her before us. Tell him to bring her back at the inn. »/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"The two men started moving, followed by Ellen, when Snape faced Dean. « I'm going to start some tests for a potion. If you have anything to do, I'd advise you to do it now. » Dean nodded and stood up, followed by the other druids, and Rozary started to walk with them to the woods, but the voice of her old potion teacher called her back. « I think I understood that you were going to follow the medical affair, Miss Lestrange, so I think two witches and three druids will be enough to protect your boyfriend the time of your class. You're going to have to be very attentive, because your task will be to be sure that your first patient recieve his potion daily until we find a definitive cure.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- You really can help him ?/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- We will try, said professor Lupin. But for that, we need you. You felt what took possession of Castiel, you know what it does better than us./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- I... » Rozary was thinking. Was she really ready to tell them everything ? Could she trust them ? It seemed that Castiel did... She looked longer at them. Snape was dark, filled with regrets and bitterness but also, strangely, deep love, and she was surprised to see how her teacher seemed different that what he looked like. Lupin was... Strange, surrounded by volutes, similar to the ones surrounding Castiel, but yet different, more... Disciplined... And the memory of that thing that touched her hit her strongly. She had to help him, no matter the cost.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"« It's kinda like you, I guess... Lycantropy... Except that it's... Darker. Chaotic, uncontrollable. I was healing Dean, when Castiel left. I was connected to them. And I felt Cas' warning, when he tried to tell Dean something was happening. Dean tried to push me away, but I couldn't, it was stronger than me, I had to help.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Did you see what it was ?/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Sort of, she simply said. I felt how bad it was, and I made everything I could to protect Dean. I don't know if I managed to do it, nor how long the symbols I drawed will hold, but for now he'll be fine.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Rose, you're an amazing young witch. I'm not surprised to see you bound to something like this./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Stop your compliments, Remus, we have a potion to make... And we don't want miss Lestrange to think the game's won yet.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"Snape, leave her alone, interrupted Castiel. We have work to do. Rose, you said that thing was like lycantropy ?/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Not quite. But there's similar points on the way it affects you and professor Lupin./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Maybe something based on the wolfsbane potion ? Asked the werewolf./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- That might work, if we use the right ingredients. Rose, go to my shelf, upstairs, and grab everything what's left as ingredients, then meet us in the basement. »/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"The young woman nodded, and moved immediately. She used a levitation spell to move the bottles and boxes, and went down to the basement, finding back the three wizards. Searching into the shelfs and the things Rose had brought back, Snape nodded, as they were ready to start. With one move of his wand, he brought in front of Rozary a virgin book, a quill and some ink, before explaining to her how to make the wolfsbane potion, that she then had to prepare, under their inquisitors looks. She tried like never before, to do her best, she couldn't get anything wrong... After a few hours, the potion was ready. Lupin bend over the cauldron, breathing the steam coming from it and frowned. « I don't know if I have to congratulate the teacher or the student, but this potion is perfect... Congratulations. »/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"Rozary got immediately rid of the red that was coming to her cheeks. She didn't have the time for that. Because now, the real test was beginning. Snape and Castiel, while she had been working around the cauldron, had spent their time over a piece of parchment, making that unique recepe that would be Castiel's medicine... And they seemed to have reached a promising result./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"They were barely outside when Loki ran to meet them. He was followed by Sora, who at everyone's surprise landed on Dean's shoulder. He looked deep into the animal's eyes, and felt a wave of calm invade him. The animal belonged to Rozary, and he didn't know why, but she'd protect him. Sora was watching him for her, how could he know that ? He turnes his head to face Gabriel, who understood. « She spoke to you, Dean. Animals don't have words, like us. They communicate with looks and emotions, memories... Or at least, that's how they communicate with druids.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- I can talk to animals ?/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- I think so, yes. Johannes is empathic. Sam, medium. And Rose is like Castiel, they have their own gift, the one of healing./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- How ?/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- The roots, answered Gabriel. When Sam and I rooted, I had the same vision as he did. I think that, by working on your roots, you could manage to use both gifts, in a certain mesure obviously, as the two parts has to be reunited... »/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"The group was moving forward, following the fow between the trees. Gabriel burst into laughing when he understood Sam's questions, who hasn't spoken at all. « No Sam, I don't know where it is. But I can feel it, thanks to Loki. Dean will be able to do it too when he'll have learn how to open himself, just like Johannes and you./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Why, what is Loki exactly ?/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- From the old traditions ? I don't know. All what I know, I do instinctively, then I practice until I can control it. So don't ask me anything about vocabulary... The day of my twenties, when the old couple who had raised me died, I decided to make researchs about my true family. I never found anything, just like if I fell from the sky, one day, in the old farm. Then I came back there. I always had good relationships with the animals. Even when I was going into the woods, they weren't running away as I got closer, just like they were trusting me. I felt good, and I ended up not leaving the woods anymore. One day, I realized I could feel the beings surrounding me. The rocks, the trees, the animals, the wind... Everything was speaking to me. I looked where I was... and it was a clearing, but not like Kevin's. It was more.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- Like that... » whispered Sam when they saw the circle in front of them, ending Gabriel's sentence for him./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"« Great ! Shall we go ? » Asked Jo, impatient and making a step forward, instantly held back by Gabriel./span/span/span/p

The trees around the circle were all differents, apart, and old. The spring sungently touched his skin when he stopped at the exact center, looking around him. Feel... But how ?/span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"But his instinct spoke for him, and he sat, simply, his legs crossed in front of him. Something was wrong, he could feel it, and looked down, searching what he could change. Then the answer became obvious, and he shook his head, mentally insulting himself for not having tought of it earlier. Slowly, he took off his shoes, then he thought back about what Gabriel has said. Feel. He thought about Castiel. About Sam. Rose. His bare feet entered in contact with the ground, and he felt this electrifying power, Bewitching, as he was anchoring himself to the ground as his grandmother had taught him in his youth. He was starting to feel every fiber of moss around him, to finally share all the sensations of the green carpet, the insects walking on it, the wind that was making its surface quiver... Chasing for a moment the thought of the others from his mind, he tried to anchor even more, feeling the roots of the forest as his own were getting down into the ground. He knew he was protected, thanks to that. Because anchoring was the most important. Castiel was safe. Dean removed the rest of his clothes, his eyes closed, as focus as he was. Yet his gestures were fluids, almost aquatics./span/span/span/p

Then in the ground, the Earth, until he found the tree border. He surrounded them then, reading into them, how their power was both great and weak. Like a warning. But Dean was willing to take the chance of anything if that could apease the pain he was feeling from Castiel. One last warning. Dean focused himself on his toots, as the trees', before raising, above the circle. What he felt at this moment made him chill without him even noticing it. He could see the light, feel the birds, above him, and the wind... But that was not over./span/span/span/p

The steam of basilic's veom were highly toxic, and it was obvious that the little house's basement would only be used for this potion only. Her hand shaking, she took the bottle Castiel was handing her, and poured three drops of the translucid liquid that was inside. If Snape was right, the tears of phoenix would attenuate the venom, and if the right spell was pronounced during the preparation, this potion would be the only one thing able to maintain Castiel alive, and well-himself until they figure out what truly was inside him, and how to get rid of it for good. And for that, Rozary simply had to make one of the most powerful poison nobody ever thought of from a version of the wolfsbane potion, and cut it with phoenix's tears.../span/span/span/p

Castiel looked at her in the eyes, making her understand that no was the answer to this unasked question. Of course. Dean was protected by the sigils she herself drawed onto the druid's very soul, but Rose had touched that thing, and what it might do scared her. She could feel its darkness sealed away, deep inside of her, knowing that one day it would all come back... But she couldn't tell anyone about this.

She was sitting against a tree, not far from the place Dean entered the circle, and was listening to every unusual noise around her, her wand raised. Not far from her, Jo was doing exactly the same, listening with only one ear the three druids muttering, sitting on the floor. Johannes stood up, and slowly walked to Jo, a smile on his face, his eyes sparkling hypnotically like usual. « Nothing's going to happe to him, you know. Nobody can enter a circle during a ritual, except to break it. But this one is far too old for anyone to... » He stopped in the middle of his sentence, and turned his head as Sam had jumped onto his feet.

Johannes remained sceptical, the two witches had their eyes wide open with surprise when they realised that, indeed, he hadn't move. « How are you doing that ? » With the formal tone of his voice, Gabriel looked up at Johannes, suddently more serious. He knew what that respectuous tone ment, and he decided to act like the master he was ment to be./span/span/span/p

Loki will guide you, don't worry he'll do just fine... » Gabriel put the palm of his hand on the ground, and branches slowly growed, thin and tangled, on several square meters of space. They got closer, to make a compact massif. « Here. Inside is a labyrinth. Sam, your purpice will be to help Loki get out.

They could feel the plants' fibres, and -as strange as it could appear – Loki. Each one of them felt him in another way of course, Johannes percieving him more like the animal he was, trying to find his way out into the changing tunnels they were creating, while Sam, thanks to his roots with Gabriel, managed after a few minutes to understand the fox's logic, and opened him a way out, under the other's greetings./span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"With the hours passing followed different exercices, and it's at nightfall that the two witches started to get hungry, and cold. Isil offered then to go back to the house and grab them some blankets, and something to eat but she barely got onto her feet that an unhuman scream was heard from the circle. That scream iced their blood, and Sam got pale wondering what was happening, inside that circle. Gabriel put his hand on Sam's. « Don't worry... He is safe.../span/span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"- He doesn't look like.../span/span/span/p

p style="widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"Dean had then expanded himself further. He could feel every thing surrounding him, going step by step outside of the circle. When he had reached the further that he could, he focused on his trance, and on the bounds he had with others. Sam, first, who was not far from him, who he knew since forever, and until his death. Rose, who for a reason he didn't know naything about had decided to protect him. She had done something to him, he could feel it... But that didn't matter for now. His roots... Castiel. He had to wait for the right moment, but could he feel that ? It'd be time soon, time for what he couldn't have said, but he was sure of it./span/span/p
p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"span style="color: #000000;"span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"span style="font-size: large;"After a few minutes feeling not only what was surrounding him but also what was deep inside of him, he noticed this barrier that was built between Castiel and him, those sigils between their roots... They were wearing Rozary's mark, and he apologized silently as he was erasing them as he could, like he was untiing some lianas extremely tied together. He managed to do so, and felt like a tsunami of darkness invade him, deeper inside. It seemed to last for hours, but only a few seconds had happened between this dark which was possessing Castiel and soon would corrupt him too, and a new pain, that wasn' his but the death eater's. He screamed, realising that he had opened his eyes but didn't care about that so much he could feel Castiel torn from the inside, weakened, and it was hurting him.../span/span/span/p

Opening his mouth to speak, their gaze crossed, and his words stayed blocked into his throat. He understood that the animal had accepted him, such as Castiel, that he would now be his permanent bound to the forest, and for example he wouldn't be so aweakened if he was going back to a place like Hogwarts. He knew they would stay together by thoughts, by heart, that they too were now bounded. Instinctively reaching his hand to the animal, this one put his little paw onto his palm, under the thumb, and a sweet warmth exhaled from this contact. When they separated, a light shined for a few moments, before slowly shutting down, leaving on his hand the trace of the squirrel's paw, green. It seemed like an ordinary tattoo, just more... real./span/span/span/span/span/p

Once he made sure with a look that the squirrel was stable enough, he started to walk towards the others, outside the circle. They had found a strange way to fight the cold, he noticed seeing them – except Gabriel – under strange moss blankets. He saw the master throwing a raspberry into the air, then catching it with his mouth, smiling when he saw Dean approach. « Hey Deano... You scared us you know that ?/span/span/span/p

Nobody spoke, but Loki got closer, curious to see this animal. Both of them looked at each other and for a moment Dean saw through the squirrel's eyes, seeing the young fox with golden eyes, and through them, Gabriel, smiling. Not understanding, he faced him and asked a muted question, to which he answered after having laughed. « He is a part of you now, Dean.

When the hourglass she had put near the cauldron went empty, she stood up, raising her wand, forbidding herself to shake. She saw her old potion's teacher bending over the clear greed liquid, then gazing into Castiel's eyes, nodding slowly. The death eater breathed deeply and, closing his eyes, emptied at once the glass she just had filled for him. Putting it back on the table, he smiled, soon joined by Lupin, as Snape never smiled. But the young woman felt that something was wrong, and she litteraly saw that wave of dark coming over Castiel, like a rebellion against the poison he just had drunk./span/span/span/p

Then the shakings that had taken the death eater stopped as quickly as they appeared, and what was before an evil oppressing shadow all around him was now like a veil, around him and his soul, without being influent anymore./span/span/span/p

Isil had invited Jo and the two teachers to stay, only Snape left, saying he had things to do at the castle. Once their plates were empty, they stayed around the table, speaking about everything and nothing, joking with each other like they knew everyone since forever. Like their situation never had been dramatic. It was beautiful, and made everybody feel good to relax and forget for a while what had brought them together in the first place to focus on what they were living, right now. Of course, Castiel was still pale, after all that corruption that was taking possession of him was now slowed down by a deadly poison, and every druid in the room could now see that the sigils putted on his roots with Dean were now removed. Strangely, the young Slytherin didn't notice it immediately, but when she raised her head hearing them laughing at something the professor Lupin said about his years at Hogwarts, she couldn't help but let go of the glass she had in her hand, coffing on the water she had swallowed the wrong way. « Dean.../span/span/span/p

If things get worse, you'll still can put them back, but none of us know how the roots are working exactly. Is it from druid to druid, or from druid to wizard. With, or without a totem animal.

Johannes who wanted to help, as he was feeling the same way she was. Johannes she was forgetting without knowing why.

They stood up in the same move, and the wizard followed the druid outside, where they sat in the cold grass. Loki joined them, and layed on the ground, his head on the druid's laps.

He's now the same age as Rose, and the reasons he's still alive are complex. The second is a torture spell. Bellatrix particulary likes it... If it's used too much on somebody, they hardly can die from it, but instead maked you mad from the pain. The third is a mental controlling spell.

The animal smelled his hand, then sat, right in front of him, without gazing away from his blue eyes. The death eater followed the fox's moves, raising his head to look at him, then raising it further to meet Gabriel's golden and sparkling eyes, who hadn't moved.

She'll have to learn how to use her healing gift without getting too tired, but also to get familliar with her roots with Johannes.

And I've done way worse. But people change, Jo. You've seen it like all of us.
