A/N: This is the short one. This is the second part of my "auto-biography" (cough). It's really doesn't make any sense. So, If you have something else to read –stop here. But otherwise… this is pretty…
Some person from outer space: Pretty boring.
Me: You're not in this story, because I said so. Get lost!
Some person from outer space: I am the evil dictator of Planet X-229476, you have no right to speak to me like that.
I smile and throw the "evil dictator" out the window. He flies past 229476 floors (because I said so) and lands on top of a lady, who's weight is approximately 229476 lb. Good luck on reading this boring fiction, my little nasty friends!
Oh, yeah: Disclaimer: I own nothing that is mentioned in Harry Potter books, Rowling does, and Tehhie – I just own her partially – Max Frei owns the rest. But all these people who make you go "huh?" are my, my, my and only my creation… And some person from outer space, a.k.a. the Evil Dictator of the Planet X-229476 is dead, so you can have him.
Tehhie: Her Story: Part 2
"So, what do you reckon, Albus, we expel her?"
"No, Minevra, why expelling Tarvilenne? She's a good student, and it's not her fault that her parents were of the Dark Side…"
I gasped – so Nadia was right!
"But, Albus, she will find out why her parents died this summer, and she might want a revenge…
"Ah, Minevra, don't be ridiculous!"
"No, listen, her sisters ran away with the dark side, didn't they?"
"They sure did!"
"So, they might try to convince her, and she might listen…"
"Minevra, we can't expel her just because we THINK. It's only her first year – we will see"
"Fine, and what about Pondohva?"- I gasped again - "Her sister is an Auror and her family is in greatest danger! I think we should inform her!"
"Minevra, she's a small girl yet! She will be dead worried and will faint the time she hears it! She will be told by her parents on summer holidays, and she's staying for Christmas anyway – or so I heard!"
"All right, Albus, if now we're clear on this subject I would like to ask you why did you accept Lupin in here. After all he is…"
And the voices slipped away.
"After all he's a what?" – I asked Remus, who was standing besides me
"After all I'm a werewolf…"
"Great.. – I murmured – my dance partner – a werewolf, my sister – an Auror…"
"Hey, if you don't want to date me – fine! As if I can't manage everything out alone! And your sister – you should be proud!" – And Remus ran away before I can stop him.
"My family in danger… Remus a werewolf… Tarvi's family – Voldemort's supporters…" – 'ah, what's the use – Remus is a nice guy, and I HAVE to apologize! And who on earth cares if he's a werewolf!"
I went looking for Remus. I found him in the garden, absently throwing the stones into the large fountain.
"Look, Remus, I'm sorry!" - I said
"Tehhie?" – he looked surprised
"Oh, come on! Will you forgive me?"
"For what? Your reaction was perfectly normal!"
"Go on, go on! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you or anything, I just… You know… My sister…"
"It's gonna be all right, Tehhie, I know it's gonna be'
I just smiled at him, and sat down. He began to talk about Transparent Curses and told me one story about a guy who became as transparent as a ghost and his parents got scared of him in such funny manner that I, despite my worries, laughed my head off.
After a while fresh breeze made me shiver, so we went inside the Great Hall, where the fun was on it's peak. I saw Julie, dancing rapidly with Sirius. They ended up hitting the wall and falling down besides Arielle and Lestrange, laughing their heads off.
"How weird – Remus said – Everybody's having so much fun, and now, may be, somebody else's getting killed, and the last thing he/she will see will be the merciless face of some Voldemort's follower"
I nodded. I really didn't feel like talking at all, and the Ball itself made me sick.
"Remus, I… I think I better get to bed right now. I don't feel well"
"Okay, I'll walk you to the Slytherin common room"
"Thanks – I said, and we left the Great Hall – the ball is going to be over soon anyway, and we have classes tomorrow"
"Yeah"
He said bye and thanks to me by the portrait hall, and headed in the general direction of the library.
I went up, murmuring something like "Sick entertainment" and climbed up the staircase. After five minutes I was asleep in my bed, and I had one of the most horrible nightmares I had, because it seemed so… real!
I saw myself standing in the dark chamber, by the wall,
With Heather standing in the middle of the chamber, shaking. Then a Shadow entered the room. It was HIM and knew it immediately – his face, showing the highest degree of hatred, merciless eyes of the snake flashing angrily.
"You failed my mission, Pondohva!" – he hissed
"I… I'm sorry, Master, I had no chance of getting it here, master! She was always wearing it!"
"Then you must've delivered HER to me, Pondohva" – he continued in his icy voice
"I… I am sorry Master"
"These who fail me, pay, Pondohva! "Crucio!" – he yelled, pointing his wand at Heather. She fell to the floor, screaming with pain. Then I gasped, and Voldemort turned to the sound
"Ah, Pondohva, why didn't you tell me you delivered her?" – he asked, and Heather answered, breathing rapidly
"I didn't deliver her, Master, she must've followed me here…"
"Doesn't matter. You're free to go, Heather Pondohva. And you – his eyes pierced into mine – will give me that necklace!" – his hand with unnaturally long fingers pointed at the necklace I had been wearing all my life.
I just shook my head – I didn't know what it is what's going on here, but it isn't something good, for sure!
"You won't give it to me? You won't, Tehhie Pondohva?" - I shook my head again
"Then remember, Pondohva, what you don't give me, I TAKE! "Imperio!" - he shouted and then said, calmly – Give me the necklace"
I felt like doing everything he says.
I slowly rose my hands and they touched the necklace. But in the same moment it became burning hot, and the pain quickly took me out of trance I was in.
"Ouch!' – I said.
Voldemort was watching me angrily.
"Perhaps this necklace doesn't want to let go of his little owner. But when the owner is dead, nothing will stop me!" – he said and raised his wand once more.
"NO!" – I heard a scream from behind him. He turned around, and there was Heather.
"You said… You said… you're not going to kill her!" – She screamed getting into his way.
"Get lost, Pondohva, I got my own business here!"
"Don't you dare hurt her!"
After this a dream is a blur. I hear screaming and then, laughter. Then a severe pain knocks me out, blinding me, making me scream out in fear and pain. I scream and can't stop.
I got up with Julie's worried face over my bed.
"Something wrong?" – I asked – the nightmare just flew out of my head
"I think you had a nightmare. You screamed like you were being murdered"
"Ah!" – I murmured and went back to sleep - I didn't remember that nightmare until the morning. In the morning I was slightly scared, when remembering it, but after all – it's only a nightmare! Plus, Tarvi was back. She was still a little in shock, but almost recovered from the terrible news. We went down to breakfast, being the first ones to end in the Great Hall this morning. We ate quickly and began to talk with Tarvi, letting her know all the news. I didn't say anything about the talk me and Remus heard the over day – it's no point worrying them now – Tarvi needs very cheerful information now.
Soon many students began to wander around the Great Hall. After a while I saw Severus fighting his way through the crowd.
He approached Tarvi
"Feeling all right?" – he asked
"Yeah, I guess – she smiled at him"
"Okay then. See you at Potions!"
"See you!" – Tarvi looked very happy after we told her that Severus spent all his free time in the hospital, waiting for her to snap out of shock – he was probably the first guy to really care about her.
Other Slytherins also asked Tarvi how is she, and she beamed at all of them, but her eyes were still terribly sad.
However, not only the Slytherins were concerned about Tarvi. A while after Severus Sirius and Remus entered the Great Hall, and before going to their table, greeted us, and asked Tarvi how she is. Remus and me exchanged glances. His was asking if I told Arielle, Julie and Tarvi about yesterday, and mine was a reply –no. He looked really delighted about the news – duh, I was probably the only one not to scream out "werewolf" and ran away. Except for Dumbledore, of course. After breakfast Tarvi became completely happy, and seemed even to forget for a while about her worries. She laughed with us, and only sometime around the dinner became silent and sad again. We were eating silently, looking at her, she was quietly dripping tears into her goblet.
"Oh, I think THAT is salty enough!" – we suddenly heard a sarcastic voice from behind. For one bizarre moment we thought it was Severus, but as we turned around we immediately recognized the speaker- it was Nadia, clenching Malfoy's hand.
"Oh, get lost!" – Julie sighed, and we all got up, pushing Nadia out of the way
"Oh, how touchy we are, aren't we?" – she said, and proceeded to her seat, surrounded by guys.
"Oh how stupid we are, aren't we?" – Julie imitated and murmured – "Oh, why can't I blow her stupid blabbing head off. Tarvi is in hysterics again"
It was indeed true. Tarvi was having hysteria. She was sobbing helplessly, and when Arielle embraced her, pushed Arielle away.
"Oh, Tarvi, come on, you just need to live through it. Act as if nothing happened and everything would be fine…" – Arielle said.
She obviously made some mistake. Tarvi looked dead angry.
"You know, Miss Perfect how many times today I wanted to scream out loud, but had to smile and act as if nothing happened? Act as if nothing happened? Indeed, Miss. Perfect? Well, let me tell you – you know nothing about me, you don't care, do you, do you? Your family is safe and sound at home, and mine… mine… is DEAD!" – And Tarvi ran away, her footsteps echoing in the long gallery.
"Mad…" – Arielle murmured, insulted
"Mad? Don't think so. She's just taking all this too seriously, Arielle, but that's Tarvi! We have to find her before she gets into some more trouble" – Julie said pleadingly, grabbing Arielle's and mine hands.
"Yeah, I guess" – I agreed
"You go, Tehhie, I… I can't" – Arielle said, and I saw that she's somehow on a verge of tears
"Ah, be like that!" – Julie said, and ran down the gallery, with me following her close by.
We searched for Tarvi for an hour, but didn't find her in any of the places – neither library, nor bathroom, nor Common Room.
"May be she went outside?" – Julie suggested
"He-LO!" – I said- "outside – this late?"
"I don't know… may be" – Julie said, hesitating
"All, right, let's go check then" – I decided, and took her hand, while she was still standing there, unsure of her own idea.
When we exited the school, the pitch-black night hit us by the head.
"All right, and here we are supposed to…" – I started, but then Julie snapped at me
"Shush! I think I heard something" – Julie and me ran into the bushes. We indeed heard whispers, they seemed to be coming from the bench on the east side of the lake.
"Hey, it's Tarvi!" – Julie said. It was Tarvi. Actually, it was Tarvi and Severus, they were talking, deep into conversation.
"D'you think it's nice eavesdropping your friends?"
"No, but we still will!" – Julie said, and almost put a hand on my mouth, because I wanted to argue –"I bet it's something interesting going on!"
"Yes, and then I found out that they were walking for Voldemort and he… he had left them there to die! He doesn't even pity his followers!"
"And your sisters?"
"They are still in the hospital – they tried to run away, and one of the Aurors almost killed them both"
"I see… I know it's hard for you right now, but, Tarvi – being like this wouldn't bring them back now, would it?"
"I guess not. But still, Severus, I miss them all so much! I mean, look, they were not my family, they were my adopted family, and still I loved them more than anything else!"
"Who was your real parents?"
"I never knew that. They say they died. They say they just dropped me there. But I always hoped that they're still alive, and I had that kind of fairy tale – one day my dad or my mom will come and take me away. You know, Kim and Septienna were… I mean, are… so perfect, so beautiful, and I…"
"Tarvi, it doesn't matter! It matters what is inside of you, Tarvi, not outside. And inside you're a great person…"
"Yeah, sometimes when I'm not an annoying egotistical idiot. I can't believe you still put up with me – I rarely think about others at all!"
"Don't worry – same here!" – Severus said, and whispered something to Tarvi. She laughed out loud and, jumping up, said
"You always make me feel better. Until tomorrow then, Severus!"
"I'll walk you to the castle, don't worry, and I hope we will not ran into Filch somewhere there"
"I wish"
As their voices died in the distance Julie got up and smiled.
"I never thought that this… Severus Snape person actually has a heart"
"I think he thinks the same thing about you… Only he still thinks you don't!"
"As if I care"
"As if I care" – I tossed my silvery hair back, and headed, with Julie, of course, to the Castle.
Next morning Tarvi joked and laughed, and sadness seemed to weather away from her eyes, but she still sometimes groaned with that gloomy expression on her face. In the afternoon, after dinner, we went to the library, where we tried to concentrate on the homework, but failed to. Suddenly, in the middle of the especially exciting conversation about "which boy is cuter" my pendant, which I wore from the time I was born, began to glow with silvery-blue light.
I, amazed, looked at it – the last time it glowed was five years ago, when I ran away from home and was almost bitten by a werewolf. Then my father explained to me that this is an artifact, which glows before the serious danger.
"Tehhie! What's that?" – Julie asked.
I explained everything to her, and she shook her head, interested.
"Wow!" – Arielle said – "WoW! Do you know anything about this treasure? I just think that I saw a book about that kind of things somewhere here"
"No, I Just know that it's very ancient and old and… nothing else. I hope it is mentioned in the book, because it was always a subject of my curiosity"
"Let's go check" – we all said at once, and laughed.
We approached a stand with books titled "Ancient Treasures and How to Handle Them Right", "Keys to the Past", "Artifacts of Medieval Europe" and etc. As we picked up two heavy books, one "Ancient Treasures and How to Handle Them Right" and another one "Legacy: What is That All About". But we only made one single step when we felt the ground disappearing under our feet. With one single thought, "what's wrong?" we flew to the bottom of this trap, and fainted before we hit the slimy, dark stone of the dungeon.
