Honkai Impact belongs to miHoYo and Harry Potter belongs to J.K Rowling
I... Don't know sir." Said Ann.
"A final question. Where would I find a bezoar?" The Professor asked her again.
"The... Stomach of Goat, sir?" Anna told him.
"Correct. Well... it seems that you haven't let your fame fully get into your head. 2 Points to Gryffindor for at least getting one question correctly." Said Severus and then turned his gaze towards Hermione.
"You may lower your arm, Miss. Granger unless you want to stand frozen like a pillar of concrete. Now open your books to chapter 1" Severus said as he started to explain the lesson.
And all the while Ann gave him a look, that said that the man should not be trusted, though she was taken off of her gaze when Sigurd put his hand on her shoulder and gave a small nod to calm her down, to which Ann could only let out a sigh, with the only thought in her head being that Snape had it out for her.
"What was his deal, it was only an Accident?" Ann said as she along with Ron, Hermione, and Sigurd walked outside of the Hogwarts Hospital, but not before being berated by Snape for letting accident to happen which caused Neville to get Hospitalized.
"Yeah, it's as if he enjoys bullying and making other students feel worthless." Ron said, to which Hermione responded.
"Ron, you are forgetting that this "Accident", as you keenly put it, caused one of our classmates to be hospitalized, of course professor Snape would be mad at us." Hermione tried to reason with Ron, who turned to see what Sigurd's answer would be.
"What?" Sigurd as him.
"We wanted to know what do you think of Snape berating, and taking some of our house's points." Ann told him, not really caring for the house point bit, but she was really mad that she had been berated for not taking notes, earlier when she had when Snape was making speech.
"Why should I really care what Snape thinks? He's a teacher his Job is to teach and no be a boxing wrestler." Sigurd said drily, as he followed them to their next class.
"By the way, what do we have now for classes?" Asked Sigurd.
"Now... I think we have D.A.D.A with professor Quirrel." Hermione responded.
"Guess it's we should make our there then." Ron said as they walked onto the moving stairs when they began to move and stopped at the 3rd floor.
"Uh... Is it just me or did we just stop over at the 3rd floor?" Ann asked.
"Yes, yes we did." Hermione said with a blunt tone.
"Great just great, we are going to get in trouble if we are found here." Ann said in a hushed tone.
"Can't we wait for the stairs to come back." Asked Sigurd, which was interrupted when Ron opened the door.
"What are you doing?!" Hermione hissed at Ron.
"Looking for a faster way to the class room." Ron said as he was stating a fact.
"You'll get us into trouble if the Professors find out, about this..." Hermione was saying when Sigurd let out a loud cough.
"Teacherspet." Sigurd said in between coughs.
"What did you say?" Hermione asked Sigurd as she pointed at him.
"Nothing, and please stop being so bossy." Sigurd said as he waved his arms in surrender.
"I am not Bossy." Hermione complained, a response which earned her flat looks from, Ann, Ron and chief of all Sigurd.
"Riiiight, and Professor Dumbledore make head of house." Sigurd said in a failed attempt to imitate the queen's english.
"Please Sig, just talk regularly." Ann said as she complained about Sigurd's thick German Accent.
"Just try and stop me." Sigurd said tauntingly.
"Oh I will..." Ann said as she walked towards Sigurd when Ron let out a cough catching their attention.
"Would you two stop arguing? You two look like you are an old married couple." Ron said as he pointed at them.
"Shut it." Ann said as she walked pass Ron with a blush on her face at the very thought of her going out with Sigurd.
"Tsundere." Sigurd said to no one in particular in a hush tone.
"What?" Ron asked Sigurd wondering what he said.
"Just ignore me." Sigurd responded.
And Ron turned and looked at Hermion questioningly, and she simply shrugged as she had no idea what Sigurd had said.
"Are you coming or not?" Ann asked them loudly.
"Yes, just wait up!" Sigurd said as he followed Ann inside the dark hallway
"Well this is spooky." Sigurd commented when suddenly the hallway became lit with torches which let to a door at the end of the hallway.
"Guess that's the exit door, come one." Ann said as she took point and began walking through the hallway towards the door.
"Strange door in the end of hallway, If this doesn't smell of suspicion I don't know what does." Sigurd commented as he looked at the door at the end of the hallway.
"Let's go and check it out if it leads to the practice yard." Said Ann as she led the way.
"Ann don't you think it is unwise to go straight through the door that'll basically send us to certain doom?" Sigurd asked Ann.
"It's not as if there's anything we can do about it, besides the stairs may not stop by in time for us to get to the practice yard." Ann replied trying to convince Sigurd who didn't seem to budge.
"I swear these two act lime my mum an dad whenever they are having an argument." Ron whispered to Hermione.
"I guess you were right regarding them acting like an old married couple, I'd think that they have a crush on each other." Hermione whispered back.
"Hermione, what was that tidbit about me having a crush on Sigurd?" Ann asked the bushy haired girl as she tightly grabbed Hermione's shoulder.
"Nothing." Said Hermione as she slightly winced.
"So, are we in an agreement?" Asked Ann as she looked at her entourage.
"Alright fine let's go and see what's behind the door of death." Said Sigurd in a dry tone, feeling like he has lost this argument.
And Ann made a triumphant smirk and led the way towards the door.
Though Sigurd couldn't shake the sense of foreboding that came as they walked closer and closer to the door.
"When they suddenly heard the sound of a cat meowing, which made the 4 to turn around to see Mrs. Norris.
"Ho crap it's Filch's cat." Ron said.
"Mrs. Norris where are you?" Came the voice of Hogwarts' caretaker.
"Oh we are boned." Sigurd said in a low panicking voice as he didn't want to deal with scraggly old man.
"Verdammt." Sigurd cursed as the door wasn't opening and saw a lock and stared in a bit of disbelief that they hadn't noticed it.
"Step back, I'll open it." Hermione said as she pulled out her wand and pointed at the lock and cast the spell that was needed to open the door.
"Alohomora." Hermione said as the lock, unlocked and the door was free to be opened, thankfully the group entered before Argus entered the hallway.
"Ah, here you are Mrs. Norris, let's go an find ourselves some troublemakers, it isn't as if any's stupid enough to walk here, especially with the beast Hagrid placed inside the room at the end of the hallway." Argus told Norris which proceeded to walk passed the man.
"Whew he's gone." Ron told Hermione who nodded in agreement, when they turned around to see Sigurd and Ann frozen in fear.
"Guys, what's... Oh..." Hermione was about to ask when she to froze in fear at what she saw.
In front of them was a honkai beast that had an oddly Staffordshire Bull Terrier look to it's frame and head, it's body was large and black with a bone white carapace
with a reddish pink lines to it.
"Oh we are SO Boned." Sigurd whispered, with dread.
"Yeah." Ann nodded in agreement with her companion, as they quietly began to walk away from the thing in front of them.
Until Suddenly the floor cracked, and the Cerberus in front of them began to stir, and as it opened it's "eyes" it looked at the children in front of it, the dog began to snarl angrily that it's sleep had been interrupted.
But as they left Ann turned around momentarily and noticed a trapdoor, on the dogs feet.
Though thankfully they were close to the door and got out before the beast could take a bite out of the, and they locked the door again, which rattled as it tried to prevent the Cerberus from getting out of it's confinement.
"What... What the hell are these people thinking about bringing a Honkai Beast into this school." Sigurd said to himself with a slightly panicking tone.
"If that thing ever get out of that place, god knows what'll it do." Ann said agreeing with Sigurd.
"I have to agree with you four on that." Hermione agreed.
"What was that thing? There's no monster like that in the wizarding world." Ron said wondering what that thing was despite their near death experience.
"That thing is on of many creatures that've been trying to exterminate humanity. Come on let's go Quirrell may worried and wondering where we are at." Sigurd said as he got back on his feet and walked back to the stairs.
"Can anyone clarify what he's on about?" Ron asked.
"That thing, Ron, is a Honkai Beast, in the Muggle world they come in many shapes and sized and are often followed by highly destructive events that are referred as Outbreaks." Hermione informed Ron, who blanched slightly at the very thought of a something like an Outbreak that Hermione described happening in the middle of Wizarding Britain.
"And those things can turn people into Zombies." Ann added.
'And how do you know that?" Ron asked Ann.
"My Uncle turns on the Volume of the TV whenever the news are on." Ann simply said, making Ron wondering what a TV is.
"I'll have to ask Dad what a TV is, he deals with this kind of stuff." Ron said as he followed Sigurd's path outside of the hallway.
"Probably shouldn't tell him about Nuclear weapons." Sigurd thought to himself eavesdropping on the conversation
At D.A.D.A class.
After wondering for about 3 minutes after the incident with the Honkai Beast Cerberus the gang had finally made their way to the Defense against the dark arts class and what Sigurd, Ann and Hermione thought they find it interesting they soon found it be quite underwhelming.
What the three of them thought it'd be an interesting class, soon enough devolved into lost interest, listening to continuous stutters of Professor Quirrel, and having to endure the awful smell of garlic that hung around the classroom.
Sigurd and Ron for their part had fallen asleep due to lost interest.
Hermione, being the teacher's pet diligently wrote down the notes of the lesson that Quirrel gave them.
And Ann was pretending like she was listening to the professor, as her mind drifted to what was behind the trap door, until she was caught off of her musing until she felt like something borrowing through her skull with a hot poker, this had the effect of Ann clutching her head in pain and let out a moan of pain.
Suddenly in a strange sense of anxiety Ann strengthened her grip on her head, and suddenly fainted with a loud thud waking up Sigurd and Ron from their sleep and breaking the attendee students off of their stupor.
"S-S-Someone send her t-to the H-Hospital wing." Quirrel stuttered as he walked to check on Ann.
"We will professor." Sigurd said as he grabbed Ann bridal style with relative ease, making the folk in the class room look at him with surprise that he could lift her that easily without breaking a sweat.
"Guess Otto was right, Kaslana's do have some sort of inherited high strength." Sigurd said to himself as he walked out of the class and send Ann to the infirmary.
Later
Ann's dreams
Ann found herself in a dark space and oddly snow was on the ground.
"Sig? Ron? Hermione?" Ann called out but only echoes could be heard
She looked around in a confused stupor when suddenly she was broken off of said stupor when she heard the sound of a crying babe.
And she walked and walked for what felt like hours through a snowy forest when the crying became louder and came across a cottage, as she laid her eyes onto the cottage she couldn't help but feel like she'd been here before, she turned the doorknob and entered inside and the cries of the babe, which became even louder were heard upstairs.
So with the objective set, she made her way upstairs and when she came across a door she heard a voice.
"Please not my daughter, take me instead." Came a woman's plea.
"Be quite girl, you should be grateful that I didn't kill you like your husband." Came a male voice that seemed to have a serpentine hiss tone to it.
"No..." The Woman said as she tried to stop the assailant.
And so Ann tried to bust open the door but...
"Avada Kedavra!" Said the assailant when suddenly the door broke off of it's hinges and Ann found herself in the Hogwarts entry courtyard.
"I will take everything from you Tom." Came a deep male voice causing Ann to turn around to see a teenage Sigurd, but his eyes were the soft azure blue, but they were like hot stoking embers that would sent the world ablaze and in front of him was a man that looked more like a snake in human form, his skin was as pale as a sheet of white paper, his nose were nothing but a pair of thin nostrils, and his eyes were as red as a dying star, and behind him were hundreds of people who had a fanatical look to them.
"You will try, you Kaslana, just like your wench of a mother, and lover. I did make sure their deaths were as painful as possible." The man said in a taunting tone, this however made Sigurd snarl in rage.
And with a flick of his finger all of them were set ablaze, this wasn't the rage of a single this a rage more akin to a god, was the thought that passed through Ann's head.
"You shouldn't be here." Sigurd said as he turned to look at Ann with sorrow written in his face, and as he started to walk towards her he extended his arm, like he was trying to hold onto her.
In the infirmary
Night time
Ann woke with a sudden gasp from her sleep.
"What did I just see..." Ann asked herself wondering what she had seen in her sleep.
And she turned her head to her left to see Sigurd was sleeping in a chair with a small blanket.
"You should consider yourself fortunate, to have found a companion like Mr. Kaslana Mrs. Potter." Came Madam Pomfrey's voice.
"Pardon?" Asked Ann wondering what the Healer was talking about.
"I said that you should feel fortunate that you have a friend like Mr. Kaslana, the lad insisted that he stayed here until you recovered, even when I said no." Pomfrey told Ann.
"Yeah..." Ann said in a hush tone.
"By the way how's Neville?" Ann asked as she saw Neville in front of her.
"Mr. Longbottom? The young lad will be recovering in two days, fortunately the accident in the potion class wasn't anything too grievous." Pomfrey said.
"Good, that's good, I really don't want to be considered responsible for... Pardon my callous words, his passing." Ann said in an apologetic tone as she didn't feel like she had a proper response.
"No one wants such a burden on their lives Mrs. Potter, it is a good thing to have friends around because at the very least you can rely on people you can trust, now I have to leave I have other matters to attend to Gryffindor quidditch practice session had a Ravenclaw team member break his right arm." Pomfrey gave Ann her advice before leaving her alone with Sigurd to her left.
And Ann couldn't help but sport a small smile.
