Chapter 10!
Disclaimer: Harry Potter and pretty much all of this fanfiction (except for Eliza, Evelyn, Samuel, Ivy, Hannah, Joseph, and the ideas: they belong to me) belong to J.K Rowling.
A/N: Sorry for the long wait! School started and I just kinda… stopped writing? But, I still am not dead, so that's good… I suppose. Still ask for people to look over my grammar and comment if there are any mistakes.
"Okay, so let me get this right. You are a demon." Ivy pointed at Eliza and the girl in question nodded. "And your aunt is Rose. And you come back from a 'different dimension' too?" Eliza nodded, and Ivy sprung at her. Ivy wrapped Eliza in a hug, "That makes you my cousin! My mom, Stella, is Rose's sister. And your mom, Briar, is also their sister." Ivy finished excitedly.
(Later in the girl's dorm room, Han and Sue were in the Common Room, so the girls were talking)
Eliza groaned, "you know me?" She asked Ivy.
Ivy nodded enthusiastically, "yep! Mother told me all about you, Auntie Brair, and Auntie Rose!" She quieted a little, "I am sorry about your childhood, cousin. I wish I could've helped you, but I died before you."
Eliza inclined her head, "thank you, cousin. I am also sorry about your death."
Hannah smiled, "it's nice to meet you. If you are Ivy's cousin, you are related to me too! My love, Ron, is related to the Lovegoods. Luna and Ron share the same great-great-grandparent, they're third cousins. So, you are my third cousins-in-law's cousin." They all started to laugh.
Luna smiled, "It's nice to fully meet you, my cousin-in-law."
"So… I wonder what we should do…" Ivy mused, "I'm bored."
Hannah leaned forwards and grinned like a shark, "let's play Truth or Dare with Han and Sue!" Sue and Han were soon retrieved to play the game. The girls, after some grumbling, agreed to play truth or dare. "Who's going first?"
"I'll go first," Luna volunteered. "Ivy, truth or dare?"
Ivy bit her lip, "umm… truth?"
The girls were sitting on their beds, facing each other. The beds were arranged in a semi-circle in the semi-circle of the room. Han's bed was closest to the door on the left then it goes Luna's bed, Ivy's bed, Eliza's bed, Hannah's bed, and lastly Sue's bed across from Han.
Luna leaned backward, "hmm…" Han leaned over across the space between the beds and whispered something in Luna's ear, who grinned. "When was the last time you lied?"
Ivy bit her lip again, "can I choose dare instead?"
Luna shrugged, "sure. Okay, your dare is… kiss the person to your right."
Ivy rolled her eyes, "oh my god, you are so annoying." But Ivy leaned over and pecked Luna on the lips. "My turn! Sue, truth or dare?"
Sue looked confident and said, "truth!"
Ivy leaned towards Sue, "have you ever had a boyfriend or girlfriend?"
Sue laughed and nodded towards Han, "yep. She's my girlfriend."
Han rolled her eyes, "she's telling the truth. We've only gone on a couple of dates, however. We've been dating for about seven months."
"Okay, Eliza. Truth or Dare?" Sue asked across Hannah's bed.
"Truth," Eliza said firmly.
"Who do you like the most in this room?" Sue asked.
All the girls waited in anticipation for Eliza's answer. Eliza looked around nervously, "umm… honestly? Probably, Ash."
The cat in question was sitting on Eliza's lap and purring.
"I swear he's smirking," Sue whispered.
"Hannah. Truth or Dare?" Eliza asked the girl to her left.
"Dare," Hannah said immediately.
Eliza grinned evilly. "Okay, I dare you to kiss the person you are dating or have a crush on."
"You thought this would be hard," Hannah sniffed. She marched downstairs, the girls watching her go, and kissed Ron on the cheek, before going back up the stairs. "You didn't specify kissing them on the lips." She laughed.
"Han, truth or dare?" Hannah asked across the room.
"Dare," she responded after some hesitation.
"Mmm… okay, I dare you to sing a song of Sue's choice." Hannah smiled.
Sue thought a little, "I honestly don't know. What about… 'Do the Hippogriff' by Jason Buckle."
Han sighed and began to sing. Her voice was pretty, a little off-tune, but otherwise lovely. The others applauded after she finished singing. "Okay, last one. Luna! Truth or Dare?" Han asked.
"Truth, I guess." Luna shrugged.
"If you met a genie, what would your three wishes be?" All the girls leaned forwards.
"To bring my mother back to life," she said, holding a finger up, "for my father to catch a magical creature on his next adventure and be able to prove that they exist, last time we forgot the camera." She held up another finger. "And finally… For Voldemort to be dead." She held up a third finger. Satisfied with her answer, the girls started to get ready for bed.
"Good night," Luna leaned over to Ivy's bed before going back to her bed.
~OoOoO~
The next day, the eleven Hufflepuff first-years woke up, had breakfast, and went through classes pretty normal. Before dinner, the seven gathered in the library, Draco was hanging with Sue, Han, and Justin
. "We need to do something about Quirrell and Voldemort!" Harry said.
Samuel shrugged, "we could tell Evelyn."
"Tell Evelyn what?" a familiar girl popped out from behind a bookshelf, "and, no. I was not spying."
A boy came out from behind the bookshelf, "come on, Evelyn! You gotta admit that we were spying." Joseph laughed.
"Tell Evelyn what?" Evelyn repeated, ignoring her brother.
Harry shared glances with his friends and shrugged, "You know the thing about the third floor?"
Evelyn nodded, "we're getting a team of Aurors ready to raid that, there is no reason for something deadly to be in a school. Especially not a three-headed dog!."
Ron shook his head, "it's not just a Cerberus. Dumbledore has the Philosopher's Stone down there too!"
"And Professor Quirrell has Voldemort growing out the back of his head!" Luna pitched in.
Evelyn held up her hands, "WHAT?!" Her eyes had gotten wider as Ron and Luna spoke. "This is urgent!" She pulled out her wand and a glowing blue Heron Patronus appeared. "Code Red, Plan Alpha. Teams A through L intersect on Target! Teams M through Z, Great Hall in five minutes." With that, the Heron flew away and Evelyn gestured for the eight to follow her before she raced away.
Evelyn raced through the halls with no disguise, many people pointed out the older woman that they had never seen before.
As they arrived in the Great Hall. Twelve teams of ten Aurors marched passed to the third floor. There were fourteen teams of ten Aurors standing in straight lines in the Great Hall, the students staring in confusion at the people interrupting their dinner. Dumbledore and Madame Bones engaged in a shouting match in front of them.
"What is the meaning of this… this… this invasion!" Dumbledore roared at Madame Bones, but she didn't flinch.
"My undercover Auror called us in! Concerning some very important matters that she'll explain to us," Madame Bones caught sight of Evelyn and the children. "Ah, here she is!"
Dumbledore turned towards the group, anger etched on his features. Anger and a hint of fear. "Well?"
Evelyn brushed past the old man, going straight to Madame Bones, "Madame Bones!" She saluted, "the third floor holds the Philosopher's stone and deadly traps to catch the teacher that has Voldemort growing out of his head!"
"Lies!" Dumbledore blustered.
"She's telling the truth!" The group insisted. "Professor Quirrell is being possessed by Voldemort!"
The Aurors brushed past the Headmaster and towards the head table. One of them shot a stunner at Professor Quirrell, who quickly moved out of the way.
"Come peacefully or we'll be forced to fight you!" One of the Head Aurors shouted, a curvy girl with bubblegum pink hair.
Quirrell let out an evil cackle, "you have no idea who you are messing with, Auror." At the subtle nod from the girl, an Auror shot a stunner from behind and knocked Quirrell out.
They tied him up and about forty or so Aurors left the castle, carrying the stunned Professor.
About ten minutes later, the twelve teams that had headed to the third floor were back. The Head Auror with them spoke to Madame Bones, "Madame Bones! We found a Cerberus, which was quickly taken care of with only one injury; Devil's Snare, which we had several injuries; flying keys, which there were two injuries; A life-sized chessboard, which three people were injured and one almost killed; A mountain troll, which was put down quickly enough that there were no injuries; potions riddles, which we found a way around; and the Mirror of Erised, that gave us the Philosopher's Stone." With that, he handed a small bag to Madame Bones.
She glared at Dumbledore, "Dumbledore! Why were there deadly traps, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, and the Philosopher's Stone in a castle full of CHILDREN?!"
"The students were warned not to go near that corridor, and I didn't know Quirrell was being possessed-" he tried to defend himself.
"You may have warned them not to, but they're still teenagers and pretty reckless. Once it was found out you could get past it with a simple "alohomora", everyone was doing it." Evelyn pointed out.
Madame Bones slapped magical-suppressing handcuffs onto him, "Dumbledore, you are under arrest for over one thousand counts of Child-Endangerment, Harboring a wanted fugitive, and containing a Class XXXXX creature!"
Hagrid jumped up, "ye can't arres' Professor Dumbledore! He's a grea' man!"
Madame Bones leveled a glare at Hagrid, "Mister Hagrid, I assure you that I can, in fact, arrest Dumbledore." And with that, she turned around and left, her Aurors following behind with Albus Dumbledore.
~OoOoO~
"Phew! What a day!" Harry sighed as he threw himself onto his bed. His bed was on the left of the semicircle, next to Draco who was next to the door. Samuel was next to Harry, Justin was next to Samuel, and lastly, Ron was next to Justin and across from Draco. "Hey guys, I'm going to go play some chess with Han and Sue and some Ravenclaws, wanna join?" Justin asked them.
"Nah," Ron said.
"I'll come!" Draco piped up.
Justin shrugged, "Okay, come on," and they both left.
A minute later, they heard a knock on the door, "come in!" Samuel yelled.
The door creaked open and Luna stuck her head in, "we're heading to the Room of Requirments, come on."
The seven made their way to the Room of Requirements and entered a nice room. It had lovely yellow loveseats, a fireplace, and some tables. Hannah and Ron sat down in one loveseat, Harry and Samuel in another, and Eliza sat with Ivy and Luna.
"So… what're we going to do?" Hannah asked, leaning forwards.
"I'll tell you what you're going to do." A familiar voice snarled. A black armchair appeared between the loveseats and a familiar figure was perched on top of it.
"You guys need to help us!" Another familiar voice said. A white armchair had appeared next to the black one, with another familiar person sitting on it.
"Demetrios? Rose? What are you guys doing here?" Eliza asked.
The other six turned to Eliza, "how do you know Demetrios? Rose is your aunt, so you know her…" Ron started.
Eliza smiled, "he sent me back, too. After you guys were, in fact, they explained everything to me. Then sent me back."
"Yes, we did. Now, listen closely. Something wrong is happening," Demetrios looked uneasy. Looking closely, the children could tell that the wings and attributes that had marked them as a Demon or an Angel were gone.
