Aria groans, blinking her eyes open to not see the blue sky but the ceiling of the Hospital Wing. She grimaces in pain from the splitting ache coming from her head as she slowly sits up.
"Pika!" "Noi!"
Aria grunts, luckily not falling down from the force as Hedwig and Nimbus tackles her. She cradles the Pikachu and Noibat who gave her nuzzles.
"Hey guys.." she looks up when she hears a chuckles and sees Lyn smiling at her, "What happened?"
"Cracked skull…" Lyn glares, clenching her fist angrily, "When McLaggen had his Magmar hit the slab of rock from Boldore's Stone Edge he was planning on it hitting your arm but instead it got you in the head, cracking your skull,"
Aria growls, grimacing in pain, "I'm going to kill him.."
"I think Flint and the Slytherin team along your friends are ripping him into a new one..from what I heard he's also off the Gryffindor team," Aria hums but then looks as the doors open and Madam Joy leading Leon, Raihan, Ron, Piers, Hermione, and Neville into the Hospital Wing.
"Ari!" Raihan yells seeing that she was awake and runs over the others quickly following, much to Madam Joy's displeasure and Lyn's amusement. HE carefully grabs her by the shoulders and looks over, he growls at the bandages that were wrapped around her head before Leon grabs him by the shoulders and gently pulls him away.
"You ok?" his golden eyes looks at her in concern and Aria shrugs.
"I would be better without the splitting headache..but eh..I'm fine," Aria muters, knowing she had worse than the splitting headache.
"We tried to come in when you were unconscious," Ron explains, "But Madam Joy wouldn't let us..not even Lyn could get her to agree.." but then he smiles and pats her on the back, "But good game! You won!" he then slags, "Which made Gryffindor in last place unfortunately,"
Aria shrugs at that, scratching behind Nimbus's ear while Hedwig decided at that moment to upchuck a pellet as a gift. The Noibat had started catching her own prey like mice..lots of people think that because Noibats mostly eat fruit that they didn't need meat but their dragon-typing demanded it. Unfortunately, like owls, Noibats and Noiverns couldn't digest the bones of the prey so they have a gizzard, a second stomach that compressed the bones, fur and teeth of their prey into a pellet that they spit up.
"I don't really care about the points," Aria says, "I'm just wondering why that Boldore use sandstorm and Stone Edge..it shouldn't have done that,"
"Your right it shouldn't," Hermione says, making the others look over, "and I heard the Professors while they moved Aria to the hospital wing..turns out the Boldore was confused..one powerful enough to make it forget the four blockade" the others look at each other making Lyn and Aria look at them.
"What?"
Ron rubs the back of his neck, "During the match we notice that Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape and Professor Quirrel had their Pokemon out..when Hedwig freaked them out with a Screech the Boldore calmed down.."
"An Espurr, Crobat and Watchog..all known to use a move that confuses a Pokemon.." Piers mumbles, "And even though I don't like it Professor Snape did try to get through that Dynamax Dodrio on Ysbryda's Night…"
"How do you seven know about Fluffy?" Lyn asks, making the others stare at her.
"Fluffy?!"
Lyn nods her head, "He belongs to Hagrid..I don't know anything, Dumbledore never really trusted me..not even when I went to school here..all I know is that Hagrid lended Fluffy to Dumbledore to guard something.."
"That something must be the thing that Hagrid took out of Gringotts!" Ron whispers, "I mean its the same vault that was broke into the very same day.."
"This..this smells like a set up.." Aria and the others turn to Lyn who has her blue eyes narrow, "Dumbledore has always had his eyes on Aria..one of her neighbors in Surrey, a Mrs. Figg," Aria jolted at the name of her old babysitter, "Was keeping an eye on her..giving him tabs on her..and he was very against removing her from the Durselys even though there was proof of abuse,"
"But why? Leon asks anger and concern echos in his voice, "Sure the Potters were a powerful family..they were the eighth Gym Leaders but besides Flemont Potter making Pokecare products in his free time..they weren't that famous until Lily and James Potter defeated You-Know-Who…"
"Who knows what that old man thinks..but it is obvious that he wants Aria to find out what's hidden.." Lyn mutters.
"Then let's do it," everyone turns to Aria with wide eyes, "Listen I know it sounds crazy but for now let's do what he wants..I don't like it but I rather him not trying anything rash..if we know what he planning and doing it he won't up his game..the fact is whoever is trying to get that item has killed the Trubbish and that girl.." "And almost killing you and Hermione.." Raihan growls out and Aria nods her head at him before continuing " I bet that they were the ones who upsetted Boldore..and to tell you the truth I really don't want to die,"
"But all we know is that the item has something to do with Nicolas Flamel.." Neville said, "And I never heard of a Trainer call by that.."
With their minds on the Headmaster, Nicolas Flamel and whatever Fluffy the Dodrio was guarding, time passed by very quickly..so quickly that they didn't realize that Dathnos was coming.
From what the others told Aria, or tried to explain to her, Dathnos or as those who celebrate it in the New Religion, The Longest Night was the last holiday in Galar Year. Beginning at dawn on the shortest day of the year we celebrate the Gods giving them thanks and praise which allows them to sleep much longer as the nights length and allows Ysbydra to see the world more. It was also time for families to be more
"I do feel so sorry" Draco sneers as he walks by, "For all those people who have to stay home at Hogwarts for Dathnos because they aren't welcome at home," Crabbe and Goyle chuckles as they walked by them, the Slytherins brushing their hands roughly against the tree scattering pine needles which makes Hagrid (who was bringing in the trees) glare at them in anger.
Aria grabs Leon by the arm before he could do anything, "Don't..it doesn't matter,"
It was true that she and Lyn weren't going home..neither was Piers in fact. His Ma and Pa were still trying to get his Da, Sirius Black all settled..once he was fully healed (which the doctors hope at the end of the school year) Sirius and Lyn will have joint custody of her and they would move into their home in Spikemuth, at the Pokemon HQ Lab.
Piers had explained to her that his Ma was the leading Professor In Shadow Pokemon study..she was trying to find some way to make a machine to purify them since the only known way was the Relic Stone in Orre.
"Hey guys!" Aria blinks as he looks at Hermione who was waving them over. They were meeting up on Hogwarts' many training grounds. Crookshanks was meditating in the shadows, a dark aura while Hermione's Horsea who she called Siren. Siren was working hard in the waters, unleashing a bunch of smokescreen before swimming through it.
There was a glow and Ron cheered loudly as Mothra glowed. The metapod begins to crack as a blue light circle around it. Emerging from the now empty cocoon was a beautiful Butterfree. Ron watches as Mothra flies around the field, green sparkles falling down from her wings.
Aria smiles at the sight before she gets down to business having Hedwig work on her flying while she throws sticks in the air for Hedwig to bite onto. Nimbus was working on building up his electrical stores. Aria had learned that Nimbus had a large electric sac in him which meant he use to be a Pichu..which meant that he could use the Pichu-Line's signature move Volt Tackle. She was having him not only build up his electric stores but also learning agility to make him faster in hopes that he would soon learn to keep the charge up while he runs.
Looking around she sees that Raihan was stomping on the ground, trying to get his Trapinch to feel the vibrations. Torkol was eating a bowl of charcoal before releasing some embers. Piers lets out Zigzagoon and Inkay..Zigzagoon runs over to Crookshanks and begins to wiggle around building up more of the dark energy while Inkay starts using constrict on the dummies.
Leon follows their example, letting Charmander and Fomantis. She smiles at his two Pokemon who cry out to him. Fomantis walks over to where Inkay was and begins hitting the dummies with a Fury Cutter which hopefully will make her leaves strong enough to use Slash. Charmander growls spitting out embers .
"It looks like Charmander is about to evolve soon," Aria said looking while throwing another stick up for Hedwig to catch. The Noibat quickly flies over to it, biting down hard. Aria smiles when she sees the slight flicker of dark energy coating on her fangs.
She was right, patches of Charmander's orange scales were becoming a dark red while a horn began to grow on his head..the two spikes on his back were slowly disappearing. Leon nods his head kneeling down and rubbing Charmander's head, "Yeah..it's not surprising..Charmander is a official Starter Pokemon" he does air quotations, "They usually evolve right after the first gym battle but because we aren't traveling trainers it does take longer," he smiles at Charmander who grumbles but goes over to Torkoal and starts eating the charcoal..Aria smiles knowing that Charmander was trying to make his ember into a Fire Fang.
At that moment Nimbus cries out and Aria turns to see him on his back. In front of him, snickering at him was a creamy yellow fur that sorta looked like a Pikachu but its fur on the left side was black while on the right side was a dark brown. It smirks at them before pulling out a seed.
"That's a Morpeko," Piers states as his Zigzagoon comes out, growling at the Two-Sided Pokemon.
"That's right Black and he's mine," the others turn to see Pansy smiling at them, one hand on her waist. Her nose was in the air making it look like she was smelling something nasty. She sneers at Nimbus and makes a shrill laugh, "To think the Girl-Who-Live would chose something as a Pikachu as her second Pokemon,"
Glaring, she stands up, Nimbus climbing up her shoulder while Hedwig flies over her, "And what's wrong with Nimbus?"
Pansy snorts and rolls her eyes, "There common Pokemon..not rare like Morpeko," she then narrows her eyes, "I bet you even didn't get the best Pikachu you could find?"
Aria raises an eyebrow at that, "You can tell which one's the strongest?"
Pansy smirks and pulls out her black Rotom phone, "Easy enough, you must know that you can scan the Pokemon you catch with the Pokedex app, to check out which moves, Abilities and Nature it can have? And that's just what I do.."
"But we were only allowed to catch one Pokemon!" Hermione points out.
Pansy snorts, "Catching means keeping Granger..loopholes, as soon after I checked what they know I released the ones I did want..us Slytherins know how to use them,. I figure that if you do that in the beginning, it saves you a whole bunch of grief in the long run." she then eyes Aria, "Something that just proves that Potter here shouldn't be the First Year Representative." she waves at Morpeko, "Morpeko here knows bullet seed which will definitely help me against any trainer who thinks using a ground type will help them beat me," she snorts at the thought.
"But really Potter, its one thing to catch such a common Pokemon..another to catch a Pokemon with run of the mill moves," she then returns Morpeko and walks off the training ground.
"I hate her, "Hermione mutters, "Treating Pokemon like that! Its one thing to do that in video games but..in real life," Aria nods knowing that was a training method in video games that were made to give kids a reason to want to go on a journey..stupid really since lots of those kids think its just like the games and they died..
"Wonder how Dudley's doing since he said since he beat all those games he must be a good trainer," Aria shakes her head before she turns to the others as the Pokemon went back to training, "So have you guys figured anything about Nicolas Flamel?"
Hermione groans, running her hand through her thick hair, "No! Not even the Ravenclaw library has anything about him..are you sure Dumbledore said Nicolas Flamel,"
I'm pretty sure..and I know I heard the name before somewhere.." Aria grumbles but she knew she shouldn't have hope. After deciding to find out what's on the third floor and what the Sorcerer/Sorceress was trying to get, they have been searching everywhere for Flamel's name. Books, Goodra..nothing seemed to work, it was like he didn't even exist. Aria even had checked in the books that she got for reading, he was not in Great Trainers of the Twentieth Century, or Notable Names of Trainers of our Time; he was missing from her Magic Magazines (just in case Nicolas Flamel was a Sorcerer) Important Modern Aura Discoveries , and A Study of Recent Developments in Chi Magic.
But there was nothing, they all sigh as Hermione takes out her Rotom Phone and goes over to Crookshanks and Siren, to go over moves they wanted to learn. Ron strode over to help his Wimpod (who he named Ripley) who was trying to hide beneath a pile of rocks after Dahlia rolled onto of her while practicing her Defense Curl.
"If only we could ask someone," Aria sighs, "Lyn is looking everywhere but she can't find anything on him either...we've been looking for two weeks.."
"If we could ask the teachers we would," Neville points out, "But we don't want any of this going to Professor McGonagall, Prof. Snape or Professor Quirrel..we can't risk them knowing just in case they are the ones after whatever the item is.
Raihan nods his head, "Since Hagrid is on it..there has to be more than Fluffy guarding it..the other Professors might be on it too.."
"I would ask my parents," said Hermione as Crookshanks begins working on Night Slash, "But their dentists so they..probably won't know," she shrugs at their looks, "My parents don't really understand my fascination with Pokemon but they support me as best as they can.."
"I'm staying here for Dathnos...my family decided to visit my brother Charlie in Oblivia," for some reason Ron looks happy about that, "Now don't get me wrong I would love to see Charlie but most of the time its just going to be him and mum arguing," he wave his hand, "Mum has a certain way of thinking about the lives she wants us to get..she wants us to get good grades so we can get a nice job at the League..find a nice stay at home wife..give her grandkids..but Bill and Charlie already fought those plans by Bill joining the Expedition Society and Charlie joining the Rangers..but I have no idea what she would think if she knew I actually wanted to become the Gym Leader," he shrugs his shoulders at their looks.
"I'm the same.." said Neville, pulling their attention away from Ron, "I'll ask my Great Uncle Algie but I won't make any promises.."
"We'll keep looking," Aria says before they all look up when the bell rang for lunch, "Recalling their Pokemon they head off to the Great Hall, "If only I could remember where I read the name.."
But as soon as the holidays started, their minds were pulled away from Flamel. Besides Neville and Hermione, Raihan also went home leaving just Aria, Piers, Leon and Ron along with Ron's brothers, Fred, George and Percy. Not wanting the two Slytherins to be alone in their Dorms, Ron and Leon had invited them into the Gryffindor Dorm, (after Percy got permission from Prof. Mcgonagall)
It was definitely different from the Slytherin Dorms, Aria thought to herself as she roasted many foods on one of the good armchairs (or so Ron says). They laugh and joke about getting Draco expelled or talking about which Champion was better.
"Definitely Cynthia..she's amazing!" Aria says with awe in her eyes. "The way she battles with her Garchomp.." Leon and Ron laugh at her but they smile at each other when she blows on a marshmallow. It was rare to see Aria having this much fun and smiling besides interacting with her Pokemon and playing Royal Raids.
"Sill..I think Lance is kinda cool," Leon says, making Ron look at him, "So he went a bit crazy trying to destroy humanity one time but he's been fixing his past mistakes. I mean he united Kanto and Johto and stopped the wars between the two Regions,"
Aria also spends days out in the MarketPlace, talking to the Traders, Merchants and traveling Trainers who walk through Hogwarts. While she expected good food and fun she knew she wasn't getting anything but wanted to give her friends something.
In her eyes them being her friends was the greatest gift of all.
Aria grunts and screeches as she rolls off the bed. She glares up at the Noctowl, "Hooty!" she screeches at the Noctowl who churrs at her. She grabs a pillow and chases after him trying to hit him, "Oh don't think you are getting away that easy you Bloody bird!"
Hooty screeches as the pillow hits him, Aria pants but looks around when she hears a chuckle. She blinks at the outfit that Lyn was wearing, a long red dress with Delibird design on the end while she was wearing a bright green sweater that had a Trevelant stitched onto it in the middle. In her arms was a tray of hot cocoa, "Happy Dathnos! Aria!"
"Happy Dathnos Lyn.." she glares at Hooty who flies over to Lyn, "What are..you wearing?"
"Oh just something I wear on Dathnos," Lyn nods her head to the Common Room, "Now come on! You slept long enough! The boys are waiting for you to open gifts!"
Aria nods her head and goes down the spiral staircase, "They didn't have to wait for me.."
"But then you can't open your presents! And that's rude!" Ron states smiling at her while wearing a maroon sweater.
Aria blinks, "Present? I..I have presents?"
"Of course you do!" Fred says with a twinkle in his eyes.
"What do you expect? Coal?" George snickers but soon both him and his brother yelp when Percy slap them on the back of their heads. Piers was sleeping on the couch, Zigzagoon curled in his lap.
"Happy Dathnos, Ari," Leon says, grabbing her by the hand and pulling her to the others.
Aria stares at the small pile of presents that she could see had her name written on it. She grips her pajama pants tightly, not wanting to cry. Shaking her head she sits down as she grabs one of the parcels and gently opens it.
Her eyes widened at the gloves, they were black fingerless gloves with a golden band around it, which was covered in aura. It took all her self control not to squeal at the sight of the Aura Gloves and looks to Lyn who winks at her.
She smiles happily, putting them on and feels her Aura connect to it. She looks up when Ron cries out at the vial of Silver Powder. He stares at Aria with wide eyes, "Ari..I..I can't.."
"You want to be one of the greatest bug type trainers ever right? What kind of friend would I be if I didn't help.."
Ron nods, clutching the vial tightly in his hands while the others begin to rip through the wrapping paper. Leon was trying on his new hat (Draco's new Pawniard had destroyed his old one) while Aria was leafing through the Myths and Legends of Galar that Hermione gave her. Besides that she had gotten some Go-Goggles from the Royal Raid Team, a Grooming Box that had a specialized kit for feathers, Tracey and Daphne gave her a book Sacred Families of the Regions. Raihan had given her some jewels that she had only seen Aunt Petunia had. Alexandrite, amber (this one didn't have an Aerodactyl in it) , Blue Lace agate, and Carnelian.
She was surprise at one point to see four plushies, one of a Stantler, an Absol, Lucario and a Perrserker. Piers yawn as he sits up, "That's from Da, Ma and Pa and me" Aria nods her head and sets them to the side..even though Hedwig had started biting at the Stantler plushie.
"Oh no.." Ron groans looking at the parcel that Aria just grabbed. His brothers look up and they wince a bit, "Our mum..she made you a Weasley sweater.."
Aria tears the parcel apart to reveal a green sweater with a Rayquaza wrapped around a letter A along with a box of homeland fudge.
"Every year she makes us a sweater," said Ron waving his hand to his sweater and his brothers. The twins were wearing blue sweaters while Percy was wearing a brown sweater with the letter P.
"Aria's is better than ours, though," Fred whispers, "She obviously makes more of an effort if you're not family,"
Percy glares at him but Aria narrows her eyes. Shaking her head she grabs the last parcel, which was small a small Dragon Fang from Leon.
"If you ever need to speak to me, my Fang is in the Dungeon Cave," Aria gasps at this and sits up even as Fred and George had grabbed Percy and started spinning him around. How could she be so stupid! If anyone could know about Nicolas Flamel it would be a God!
Aria kept thinking on how to get to the Dungeon Cave but was also enjoying herself. The Dathnos meals had hundred, fat roasted turkeys; mountains of roast and boiled potatoes; platers of roasted duck and tureens of buttered peas, silver boats of thick, rich gravy and cranberry sauce..why they need so much food Aria didn't know but just shrug an ate. While they ate she pulled up the Champion app that Ron had given her and was watching one of Cynthia's battles. Up at the High Table she could see Dumbledore watching her and she rolls her eyes before laughing as Nimbus and Ripley chased after Fred's Kecleon after the Chameleon-like pokemon gave them a lick. While Hedwig was fighting Mrs. Norris for the mice that somehow came in. Flaming puddings followed and she had to laugh when Percy nearly broke his teeth on a Nugget hidden in the slice. Aria watched and then laughed with Leon as Hagrid got redder and redder in the face as he called for more wine, finally kissing Professor McGonagall on the cheek. To both their amazement the Head of Gryffindor blushed and giggled.
Aria then found herself having a snowball fight. She squeals as the Twins dump a whole bunch of snow on her but Hedwig, using Gust, sends a huge pile at them.
It was the best time of Aria's life as she watched Leon and Ron fall asleep on the chairs near the staircase. Taking a deep breath she grabs the Dragon Fang and nods her head at Hedwig and Nimbus.
Crepting out of the dormitory, she follows her insticints. She gasps as she stood outside a dark wooden door before she slowly opens it. In the chamber was the Great Dragon Fang. "Hedwig, Nimbus..keep a lookout,"
"Pika.." "Noi!" her two Pokemon nod their head as they stand by the door as Aria. Focusing her eyes on the Dragon Fang she takes a deep breath before pressing her hands on it.
Her eyes open wide when she finds herself in the cave, over the ledge just like during the Sorting Ceremony. Taking another deep breath she calls out, "Kilgharrah!?"
It was silent for a moment before the Great Dragon flew up and landed on his perch, "Is..is that going to be a thing? You jumping out of nowhere?!" she says pats at her chest.
He laughs which makes her glare at him, "Ok not funny..listen you said that if I needed anything..I can come to you right?"
Kilgharrah chuckles and nods his head, "Of course Young Witch..what do you need,"
"I..I need to know anything about Nicolas Flamel..Dumbledore has something that is connected to him and there's a Sorcerer or Sorceress who not only killed a pack of baby Trubbish and made a Shadow Pokemon," she steps back from the growl that Kilgharrah let out, "But they killed a person to lead them to the school.."
"Nicolas Flamel..I have heard of that name but the reason you can't find anything of him is its isn't his real name," Aria blinks at that stepping closer but making sure she didn't fall off the ledge.
"His real name?" Aria whispers and the Great Dragon nods his head.
"Quite right Little One," he chuckles at the glare that she gives him, "He is quite old..not as old as me but much older than Albus Dumbledore," Aria catches the sneer on his face and grins at him.
"You don't like the old fool as much as I do huh?"
"Oh by Drechaul's Love I don't!" Kilgharrah growls out, flapping his wings angrily, "He reminds me too much of the Forgotten King..but much worse and the Forgotten King chained me up!" Aria sees a mark on his leg, a scar where scales had been rubbed off, "Do not trust him Little Witch..he would leave all the Regions in ruins!"
Aria nods her head, "Wasn't going too..can you tell me who Nicolas Flamel really is?"
She groans when Kilgharrah shakes his head, "I'm sorry..but like the Forgotten King he lost his true name a long time ago..he has learned his lesson now but he did something so terrible..that the Regions striked out his name..and because of that even I can't speak it,"
Aria sighs at that, pinching at the bridge of her nose, "But.." she looks at him with hope in her eyes, "I can give you a hint..you can find him right under your nose,"
"That..that is not helping.."
He chuckles but then he looks up, "You need to go now Young Witch..don't want you to get detention,"
Aria blinks her eye as she feels a bite on her ear..she looks at her shoulder to see Hedwig who nods her head at the door. Nimbus was waving his arms trying to get her attention but also not trying to be too loud, ""Sorry guys.."
"You asked me to come directly to you. Professor, if anyone was wandering around at night...I couldn't see them but my cameras caught them..they were heading to the Dungeon Cave" Aria feels like she was hit with an Ice Beam. Even though Filch's Security Room was on fifth floor, the Security Guard must know a shortcut because his soft, greasy voice was getting nearer and to her horror it was her Head of House who replied, "The Dungeon Cave? Well, they can't be far..we'll catch them,"
Aria takes a step back, her back hitting the wall and she becomes rooted to the spot. "What am I going to do?!" Her hands pressed against the wall, maybe hopefully finding a tricked door like the Twins mention. But then she yelps when her aura surges around her and she, Hedwig and Nimbus yelp when they passed through the door.
Grunting after landing on her back, she blinks when looking at her arms she sees that she was covered in shadows. Standing up she watches as the shadows drip off their forms. She sighs, that had been close, very close. She looks up when Nimbus pulls at her hair before she noticed that there was something in the room they found themselves in.
The room itself looked like an unused classroom, "Thank Drechaul that it isn't the room with Fluffy," she looks at the dark shapes if desks and chairs that were pile against the walls and there was an upturned wastebasket..but what really caught her eyes was something that looked out of place in the classroom.
A magnificent mirror as high as the ceiling, with an ornate gold frame stood in front of them. Carved over it and covering at the top, were two large wings that resembled claws. In the center of the top, was a head that was carefully carved. It looked like the had had a golden crown surrounding it with two large horns pointing sideways. Underneath the head there was an inscription written, Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi.
Panic fading now, she carefully walks over. She jumps a bit in shock as the mirror shimmers before her and her Pokemon's reflection was shown...but they weren't the only ones.
There were two people..one was a pretty woman with dark red hair that went down her back. But what really caught Aria's eyes..were her eyes..they were the same green as her, a bright emerald green which had tears in them. Standing next to her was a tall, thin, blacked hair man who puts his arm around her. He wore glasses and his hair was very untidy..it was stuck up at the back..just as Aria's did before Daphne and Tracey taught her how to pin her hair.
It didn't take her long to realize she was seeing her parents..anger rose up at the sight of them..no..it wasn't anger..to her shock it was in fact a terrible joy..half terrible sadness..
"No.." she whispers, making Nimbus and Hedwig look at her, "No..I..I don't care...You left me..you decided to stay in the Region when there was a war.."
There's a thing about living with the Dursleys..you can't ask questions. The first and last question she had asked was how they died..her aunt had slapped her and told her to never speak of her drunken parents again because it was their fault that they got killed and she was left at the Dursleys. She had started crying at that and her Uncle had decided to give her a reason to cry about something. So at the age of four she decided to hate her parents..to blame them for leaving her alone and with the Dursleys..they were drunks who somehow got themselves killed..that she shouldn't cry or miss them..
But then she learned that they were Heroes..they fought in a War..they died trying to protect her..she was running out of reasons to hate them..she tried to say that because they didn't run away or had a baby during a time of war gave her a reason..she looked up about them and learned her father was a bullying git to Slytherin so her being a Slytherin means that he would hate her..but now..seeing them, smiling and waving at her..crying with tears of sadness and joy at the sight of her…
Aria falls to her knees and sobs. Hedwig and Nimbus cry out in shock at the sight of their trainer crying. They crawl into her arms and coo at her. Cuddling at her and trying to calm her down. Aria cries hugging them close, crying for the lost of her parents..crying for the years she tried to hate them..
"They loved you very much Aria,"
She quickly looks up to see the Headmaster, sitting on the desks by the was smiling gently at her and nods his head to the mirror.
"I see that you and like many others have fallen into the trance of the Distortion Mirror," Aria blinks standing up and wiping her eyes as Nimbus and Hedwig climb onto her shoulders, keeping their eyes trained on the Headmaster.
"The Distortion Mirror..created many years ago, the mirror used was taken just as Giratina was returning to the Distortion World.." he slips off the desk to walk over to her, his blue eyes twinkling, "now..can you think what the mirror shows us all?"
Aria looks back to it, and looks to the carved worlds, "I show not your face but what your hearts desire…" she turns back to Dumbledore, "it shows what we want..whatever we want.."
"Yes..and no," Dumbledore nods his head, eyes twinkling at her, "It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts. Giratina, the ruler of the Distortion World wants nothing more to be free from it..to return home..which is why the reflections of our world act as portals to them..you who even though you try to say otherwise..see your parents..standing beside you.." he looks to the mirror and Aria blinks at the man that now stands beside him. The man had heterochromia eyes, one a light blue the other an dark brown almost black. She looks at Dumbledore when he flinches and he shakes his head,"
"The mirror will be moving into a new home tomorrow Aria," Dumbledore gently smiles at her which makes her want to frown at him but she nods, "I ask you not to go looking for it again. If you ever do run across it, you will now be prepared..men and women have wasted away from it..driven mad by it..not knowing if it was real or not..it doesn't do to dwell on dream and forget to live..remember that," he pulls out a piece of paper and writes on it, "Here..this should keep our wonderful Security Guard from trying to get you detention for being out of hours..have a good night my dear,"
Aria nods and was going to head for the door when she stops, "Sir..may I ask you something?"
"Obviously, you have done so," Dumbledore chuckles but the Headmaster nods his head, "You may ask me one more thing however,"
"Who was that man..that was standing beside you?" she tilts her head at him, curiosity shining in her bright green eyes.
Dumbledore flinches and looks down, "An old friend, Miss. Potter..and old friend that I had break away from for the Greater Good,"
Aria stares but she nods her head before leaving the room. Once she closes the door she sighs and wipes more of the tears off her face, "Yeah..the Greater Good huh? Wonder what's the Greater Good for me? Whatever it is..it's not happening," she whispers to her Pokemon who nod their heads in agreement. They nuzzle her cooing at her which makes her smile before she begins to head back to the Gryffindor Dormitory, with a lot on her mind.
So yeah Aria doesn't hate her parents.. it was just excuses so she wouldn't miss them..she does and that's why its called Dathnos' Tears..Aria crying for the lost of her family..alos mention of Grindlewald
Ok before anyone says anything..only the first Fantastic Beast Movie happen! and it was also quite different..since it takes in Orre during Pokemon Colosueem..there will be answers during the fourth book and I can;t wait to write that since more of Dumbledore bashing happens in there..
also I don't like molly..in the first, second and third book she was ok..but then the fourth, fifth and sixth book happen and damn it don't get me on how it was Molly who killed bellatrix! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NEVILLE DAMN IT! NEVILLE! anyway I hate how she treats her kids and how she treated Sirius and Fleur so..yeah don't like Molly Weasley!
anyway please leave a comment! I love them!
