Here it is, more of my story. Many thanx to Aislin who helped with the creation of this chapter,
but only because I begged her. She's good to me like that. There's some fu stuff in this chapter,
I hope, and yeah, I am a very tired person right now, so if something doesn't make sense, think of
it from a sleepy point of view, and it may.
Disclaimer~ I own nothing, plain and simple, I have come up w/ ideas for characters that JK has
created. Please do not sue me, I am only an adoring fan who was to bored w/ reading the same
books over and over again, so decided to write her own. Oh, and there is some line in here, that
my mommy said, so I put it in. Alrighty. I do believe I shall start my chapter now.............

HEART OF HUFFLEPUFF
Helga sat with her window open to the world. The cool night breeze rustled in the light curtains
around her bed as she sat staring out across the dark grounds. The moon shone bright across the
waters of the lake, and wildly through the forest. She sat on her bed with Stubble sitting next to
her. He yawned a quiet yawn then curled up for a little nap on her pillow. Helga watched him ,it
was late for him to be up, but she wasn't ready at all to go to sleep, for tonight, she had a date
with the dreamboat of Hogwarts.
She had made sure that everything was perfect. Her ringlets of brown had been swept up into n
elegant bun, with two little curls falling near her face. She had pulled out her favorite robes for
the evening, they were more of a dress, then robes, but none the less. There was a tight bodice,
the let out into long bell sleeves. Below it fell a long flowing skirt the swished and swerved along
with her. And of course, they were of a light yellow, like the lovely ones you see when Easter
shows it's pretty face.
Helga stood in front of her mirror checking over everything she had done. She twirled around,
like most girls in front of a mirror do and gazed at herself again. 'Will he like me?' she thought to
herself, being a typical girl, 'Of course', she said back to herself, 'If he didn't, he wouldn't have
asked me out on a date.' She said again reassuring herself. Just the Rowena walked through the
door of her office.
"Helga?" she called, looking for her. Helga popped her head out of the doorway to her bedroom
and smiled, "You look lovely dear"
"Thank you" She said stepping out into full glory. Rowena gasped.
"I don't think I've seen you look more beautiful then the day you were born" She said in awe.
"Then you were small, and tiny, but now," she laughed "Look at you" the tears filled her eyes,
"You look just like your mother" Rowena said, stifling almost. She let a tear fall form her face.
"I know" Helga said walking over to the amazing women who had been her mothers best friend.
She embraced her and they both let a few tears fall down their faces. Rowena had almost been a
surrogate mother for her when her mother had died twelve years ago. Helga had a hard life, for
only five years ago, her father had died too, leaving her an orphan at sixteen. The only place she
had to go to was Rowena, and she did, and everything she knew, she learned from her. With the
aid of Rowena at her side, she had became a brilliant young witch, and one of The Four.
They stepped away form the embrace and Helga walked into her room and sat on her bed, once
agin staring at the stars, lost in a trance. Rowena quietly walked in and stood in the doorway.
Out of nowhere Helga said "Was my mother good?"
"As good as any person can be Helga" she said softly to the girl, "Shr brought out the best in
every person she ever met, and was loved by all. When the dark wizard took her under, everyone
mourned for her. Not a single person who knew her doesn't miss her at every waking moment."
"Was she beautiful" asked Helga ho looked so small now
"Gorgeous" said Rowena. She walked over and sat down quietly on the bed next to Helga and
silently placed and arm around her and gazed with her. Helga leaned her head on the older
witches shoulder and cried one more tear. Rowena placed and arm around her, and they both sat,
gazing into the darkness, and some where they hoped that she was watching over them
*************
Godric had it all planned. The perfect meal, in the perfect restaurant, with the perfect mood, and
the perfect girl. Now all he had to do was survive the evening without dying of shock at how
much he had accomplished. He had ben ready for a good three hours now, all he had to do was
go and get her. He kept worrying about if he had spent all of his energy on anticipation, instead
of using all of his energy on the amazing time he was going to have. He mustered up all of the
strength left in his body, and headed out of the room towards Helga's.
*************
"Now, dear, you're going to be a splotchy when Godric gets here." Rowena told the mourning
girl. She had lost some much in her life, it was finally time for her to have something good
happen to her.
"Oh!" Helga said jumping up from her bed, almost as remembering that she had something to do
tonight. She scurried over to the mirror again, and tried more powder to cover up the tear strains
around her eyes.
"Darling!" Rowena said going over to her, "Don't worry about your face, I was only saying that
to snap you out of it, now come here, wipe some of that off, you have way to much on then any
human should ever wear." She said picking up a cloth and removing some of the powder.
"Thank you" Helga said looking up into her eyes. Behind the thick-framed glasses, and the tightly
pulled hair was a very warm person. Helga reached her hands up and tipped Rowena's midnight
blue hat on it's side.
"Why did you do that?" Rowena said looking down to the face of a girl she had loved all 21 years
of her life.
"It just seemed like the thing to do" Helga said walking back to her bed. She picked up Stubble
and walked back over to Rowena and put him in her arms. She flinched and the placement of him
but then stroked his little sleepy head. "Would you watch him tonight?" She asked Rowena, "I
don't want Adrien to know that I have a date, otherwise, I would have him do it"
"Of course, I'll take him up to the astronomy tower with me while I deal with one of my classes
tonight."
"Thank you" She said, then "Rowena, you've been very good to me all of my life, thank you so
much."
"What for taking care of this little guy?" She said as she tickled his chin
"No, for being there for me, for loving me, for taking me in when no one else would. You're the
greatest gift in my life."
"Thank you dear, now I'll be out of here so not to make it awkward when Godric arrives.
Goodnight"
"Night" She said with a smile on her face.
***********
Godric knocked on the door. 'This is it' he thought to himself. Helga answered it in only a
matter of a few seconds.
"Good evening" He said with a smile of charm on his ravishing face. Helga smiled as he extended
his hand to hers. She had touched him so many times. A hug of reassurance, and rub on his hand
to tell him that everything would work out, and smack on the arm when he was being stupid, but
never had she touched him like this. His hand, her hand, their arms brushing by each other as they
left the castle and went towards Hogsmeade. This was magic in a different sort. This was like
music. Walking hand in hand across the dark grounds, the full moon glowing like a giant crystal
ball. The moonlight bouncing off their smiles, and romantic looks at one another.
Helga pulled her black shall closer to her because of the cold night air. Godric put his arm round
her. It seemed like the right thing to do, an Helga leaned in closer to his arm. 'It must have been
right' Godric thought to himself. They had been friends for so long, this seemed simple.
They walked the path across the grounds, and into Hogsmeade. The town wasn't quiet finished
yet, but it would be soon. There were small taverns, and shops dotting the main street. And
down the road a-ways, there were different roads jetting off in different directions, leading
towards small quaint houses. Little lights dotted the town, the soft glowing of candles burning
down inside warm houses.
Godric walked a few feet ahead, and stopped. It was right in front of a tiny little restaurant, that
had a small garden in front. There was a tiny little path that wound up to the three stone steps
leading into the caf‚. Along the path were little flowers, and tiny fairies, sleeping on each one.
The light from them marked the path they walked on. Godric climbed the steps, and held out his
hand again for Helga to take. For once she was wearing shoes, and there was a soft clink at every
step she took. The whole time they hadn't said a word. Just smiled, let the other know their own
emotions by the look in their eyes.
Helga glanced at the tiny hanging sign outside that said 'The Cyprus Caf‚' and then walked into
the little place. There was an entrance porch, with the hostess' table there, and a waiting area on
benches over looking the garden and road. Godric checked them in and they both walked in to
the place.
It was small, but beautiful. There were hanging bronze lamps, with candles in each one, so that
there wasn't much light, but just enough for the person you were sitting with. The chairs were all
made of metal backs and were high, and covered with metalic designs. The seat itself was
cushioned, and extremely comfortable. There were bronze goblets at both of their places with
designs of suns, moons, stars, all around them. Helga looked up to see Godric looking at the
glasses too.
"So" She said getting his attention
"So" He said back with a smile
"Nice cups"
"Yeah"
Helga looked down and took a drink form her glass. The water was cool, and it relieved her from
the stress of tring to be perfect for him. Then the smarter side of her realized, that was Godric
over there across the table. This was no different then sitting next to him in the Great Hall.
"This is silly" She said strait out
"What? The date?" Godric said with a hint of disappointment in his tone, "If you don't want to, I
can take you back-"
"No, No, I meant, how stiff we both are, how we can't think of anything to say, how it seems
so....odd"
"I know. I've been so worried about what you've thought all night, that I don't think I've had the
chance to be me."
"Neither have I" Helga said reaching across the small table and taking his hand in hers.
"I'm so glad that it's you sitting here in front of me" Godric said letting his hand fit perfectly in
hers. "You look stunning tonight. Your hair, your eyes, you.." he said trailing off
"Thank you. I know what you've gone through, trying to make yourself perfect for somebody
who you've known forever. It's just weird, thinking of us, not being friends, but being, an item
or so, and such."
"Yeah. I wonder what would happen if the students found out" He said holding back a small
laugh.
"I don't even want to think about it:" Helga said cracking into a smile. Godric just looked at her.
"You know, somebody could look average, but as soon as you got to know them, they become
the most beautiful person in the world. There's no doubt about how lovely they are, and, it's
really all of the love a person feels for the other that makes them so beautiful."
"You couldn't be more right" He said staring into her eyes. It was as if they had done this a
million times. If they had gone out on a thousand of these dates. That is the beauty of being
friends before you fall in love. And they were not more in love. After one date, it was like a
million, and yet, still perfect. They were soul mates, connected at the heart, and neither one of
them would ever forget that.
***********
Rowena made a stop to her office before her class that night. She flipped through one of her
book, searching for the answers to the questions the staff was asking around here. She still hadn't
quiet figured out what had gone on with Lassa that night. She knew what it was, that it was new,
but she couldn't figure out the how, and the who.
During class, her mind still sat on that while she talked about the celestial pattern of Orion. She
glanced over the students in her class and saw Adrien Malfoy staring at his desk with a scowl on
his face.
**********
~What are you doing???~
'Nothing, please, leave me alone Serpent Tongue.'
~No, I need you boy.~
'Yeah, me too Serpy Baby. Gag me please' Adri thought
~Ha, funny boy, but I have reasons for my still living in your head~
'What' He thought with Venom
~Everything~
'Could you vague that up?
~Shut it boy, Quit it with the funny stuff, and understand me~ Adri suddenly felt as if he was
floating, everything seemed so simple. Even if he Serpent Tongue had taken over his mind, that
was alright. ~Now Boy, leave this place and get the marvelous cloak I've seen you vanish
underneath~ Without even a moment hesitation Adrien was walking towards Godric's office to
get the cloak of invisibility.
************
"Adrien! Adrien Malfoy get back here right now!" But the boy kept on walking. It was as if he
was under a trance or something. A trance.......
"ADRIEN!!" Rowena screamed as she held the boy, shaking him fro his shoulders, trying to wake
him out of it as they had done with Lassa. But he kept on walking. She had to get to Helga. She
would be the only one who could get him out of it. Then, he stopped.
"Adrien! What do you think you're doing?!?"
"I don't know" He said looking up at her, rubbing his head. Then Salazar walked into the room.
Striding in on her class like he owned the place.
"Good evening Salazar" She said, pulling herself together, "Is there a good reason on why you're
interrupting my class?"
"Not really, I just wanted to see how my young house members are doing."
"Oh" She said returning to her lesson. "You may sit over here if you wish to watch" She said
pulling a chair out form behind her desk.
"Thank you" He said walking over to it. Rowena trusted Salazar as far as she could fling him.
She knew there must be some devious reason to why he was sitting in on her class, now, and at
this hour of the night. She continued talking about the stars, pointing to each of them, and
illuminating the sky with magic when she spoke of different constellations. She glanced over at
Salazar every so often, and every time he was staring at something. She turned her attention to
what it was, and it was Adrien, and he looked as though he was concentrating on something.
************
~You can't stop me Adrien, no matter how hard you try to push me out of your mind. I was
foolish to make you move in the middle of your class, but I won't slip-up again. You're still
under my control if you were wondering.~
"GET OUT DAMN IT!!!" Adrien screamed in the middle of class. The class looked at him and
Rowena scurried over to him.
"Adrien, come with me" She said, "Salazar, would you mind watching the class while I'm gone?"
"No problem dear" He said with a sneer of a smile on his face.
"Thank you" she said as she darted Adrien out of the classroom.
~Tell her nothing boy, she'll only think you crazy~
'No she wouldn't' Adrien thought back to him in panic
~Yes she would, If Helga is the medi-witch, and SHE would think someone mad, what do you
think Rowena would do, some one with no training at all?~
Adrien panicked. This was definitely not good. He could get kicked out of school, sent to St.
Mungo's, loose all of The Four's trust. This was very VERY not good. She dragged him into
her office and sat him down in front of her desk. She kneeled in front of him and placed her hands
on the arms of the chair.
"Adrien, what is going on?" She said in a very stern, yet concerned voice.
"Nothing" What a lie.
"Adrien, I can tell there is something up. I need to know what's wrong."
"There's nothing wrong professor" If only he could tell her, make all of this madness go away.
Get the creep out of his head. But, she would never believe him
"Adrien Malfoy. If you don't tell me what is wrong with you right now, I'm going to have to get
nasty and dive into your mind"
"There is nothing wrong ma'am." He said. He would tell her now, but for some reason, he just
couldn't. The words couldn't form, they wouldn't escape his mouth, he had lost all control of his
body.
"Alright then. Hold still." she said gripping his head and letting herself dive in. She yanked
herself out, and fell down moment later. "Oh God" she said staring into his eyes in disbelief. Her
mouth hung open as she sat on the floor, shocked. "How could he?"
"How could who?" Adrien asked wanting to know who was in his head. Rowena picked herself
up and walked around, pacing in the wake of what news she had received. "Lets go" she said
grabbing Adrien's wrist and heading back up to the astronomy tower.
They got there to find the place empty, and a note on the board. 'I let them out early, I thought it
would be better if you didn't have this on your mind as well as whatever else is going on. ~Salazar'
"Oh, how good of him" Rowena said scowling at the note. The she turned to her young
counterpart. "Adrien, go back to bed, I shall speak with you in the morning."
"Yes Professor" He said and turned around to go back to the tower.
~You've still got to get that cloak for me~ Serpent Tongue said slyly. Adrien turned on a dime to
Godric's office.
***************
Rowena walked down the long hallway back from the astronomy tower. Even after the lessons
were done she liked to stay there and gaze at the stars. She started to love the sky after Emma
had died. Emma Hufflepuff, you couldn't find a better person. But her death had hit Rowena
hard, so one of her only comforts was in believing that she had gone to a better place. Rowena
knew that Emma would always have wanted to watch over them, even if she couldn't be there for
the people she loved. Rowena took comfort in the belief that she was out there, one of those
stars, watching her, Helga, everyone.
On her way she passed a ghost roaming the halls. She waved Hello and continued walking, then
strangely she saw out of the corner of her eye, a foot. Just sitting there. Then it was gone. She
wondered a moment at it, then thought nothing of it. It must be her old mind playing tricks on
her. The from out of the darkness she heard the word ring out like a bell screaming it's toll.
"IMPERIO!"

DUM DUM DUMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried a cliffie, please forgive me for my stupidity in the arts of cliffie-ness.
Trust me, the math does add up. I worked it all out with a calculator too, just in case my brain
decided to fool me....again. Powder make-up is fun, heeheehee! Does anybody think that Godric
resembles Lockhart, just a hell of a lot smarter, and with Green eyes???? I do.
I love irony. I think its fun. To write something, have everyone know, except one person. That's
good stuff. Hehehehe.
The Caf‚ they go to is SOOOO real. I've been there, and I loved it. It's in Durango, and it has to
be the cutest place I've EVER eaten at. All Mediterranean food, I had veal. Ahhh, almost as
good as Lobster Bisk.
ONE MORE WEEK AND I"M IN MAINE!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I get to eat my
beautiful Lobster Bisk again. I can't wait!!!! I get to leave all of you suckers!!!! Hehehehehe!!
The bad thing is that I won't have a computer to type all of my lovely story ideas, God I get so
many when I'm up there. The setting is AMAZING!!!! If you wish to hear more about it, you
can put me in the place of Hermione in my story "Arts", read it, there is a chapter in whcich my
Maine is in, and all of MY emotions towards the place come out, not Hermione. I tend to write
her as me in most cases, seeing as which she is the only main character that is a girl, and my age
as a matter of fact. BABBLE, BABBLE, BABBLE!!!
but only because I begged her. She's good to me like that. There's some fu stuff in this chapter,
I hope, and yeah, I am a very tired person right now, so if something doesn't make sense, think of
it from a sleepy point of view, and it may.
Disclaimer~ I own nothing, plain and simple, I have come up w/ ideas for characters that JK has
created. Please do not sue me, I am only an adoring fan who was to bored w/ reading the same
books over and over again, so decided to write her own. Oh, and there is some line in here, that

the most beautiful person in the world. There's no doubt about how lovely they are, and, it's
really all of the love a person feels for the other that makes them so beautiful."
"You couldn't be more right" He said staring into her eyes. It was as if they had done this a
million times. If they had gone out on a thousand of these dates. That is the beauty of being
friends before you fall in love. And they were not more in love. After one date, it was like a
million, and yet, still perfect. They were soul mates, connected at the heart, and neither one of
them would ever forget that.
***********
Rowena made a stop to her office before her class that night. She flipped through one of her
book, searching for the answers to the questions the staff was asking around here. She still hadn't
quiet figured out what had gone on with Lassa that night. She knew what it was, that it was new,
but she couldn't figure out the how, and the who.
During class, her mind still sat on that while she talked about the celestial pattern of Orion. She
glanced over the students in her class and saw Adrien Malfoy staring at his desk with a scowl on
his face.
**********
~What are you doing???~
'Nothing, please, leave me alone Serpent Tongue.'
~No, I need you boy.~
'Yeah, me too Serpy Baby. Gag me please' Adri thought
~Ha, funny boy, but I have reasons for my still living in your head~
'What' He thought with Venom
~Everything~
'Could you vague that up?
~Shut it boy, Quit it with the funny stuff, and understand me~ Adri suddenly felt as if he was
floating, everything seemed so simple. Even if he Serpent Tongue had taken over his mind, that
was alright. ~Now Boy, leave this place and get the marvelous cloak I've seen you vanish
underneath~ Without even a moment hesitation Adrien was walking towards Godric's office to
get the cloak of invisibility.
************
"Adrien! Adrien Malfoy get back here right now!" But the boy kept on walking. It was as if he
was under a trance or something. A trance.......
"ADRIEN!!" Rowena screamed as she held the boy, shaking him fro his shoulders, trying to wake
him out of it as they had done with Lassa. But he kept on walking. She had to get to Helga. She
would be the only one who could get him out of it. Then, he stopped.
"Adrien! What do you think you're doing?!?"
"I don't know" He said looking up at her, rubbing his head. Then Salazar walked into the room.
Striding in on her class like he owned the place.
"Good evening Salazar" She said, pulling herself together, "Is there a good reason on why you're
interrupting my class?"
"Not really, I just wanted to see how my young house members are doing."
"Oh" She said returning to her lesson. "You may sit over here if you wish to watch" She said
pulling a chair out form behind her desk.
"Thank you" He said walking over to it. Rowena trusted Salazar as far as she could fling him.
She knew there must be some devious reason to why he was sitting in on her class, now, and at
this hour of the night. She continued talking about the stars, pointing to each of them, and
illuminating the sky with magic when she spoke of different constellations. She glanced over at
Salazar every so often, and every time he was staring at something. She turned her attention to
what it was, and it was Adrien, and he looked as though he was concentrating on something.
************
~You can't stop me Adrien, no matter how hard you try to push me out of your mind. I was
foolish to make you move in the middle of your class, but I won't slip-up again. You're still
under my control if you were wondering.~
"GET OUT DAMN IT!!!" Adrien screamed in the middle of class. The class looked at him and
Rowena scurried over to him.
"Adrien, come with me" She said, "Salazar, would you mind watching the class while I'm gone?"
"No problem dear" He said with a sneer of a smile on his face.
"Thank you" she said as she darted Adrien out of the classroom.
~Tell her nothing boy, she'll only think you crazy~
'No she wouldn't' Adrien thought back to him in panic
~Yes she would, If Helga is the medi-witch, and SHE would think someone mad, what do you
think Rowena would do, some one with no training at all?~
Adrien panicked. This was definitely not good. He could get kicked out of school, sent to St.
Mungo's, loose all of The Four's trust. This was very VERY not good. She dragged him into
her office and sat him down in front of her desk. She kneeled in front of him and placed her hands
on the arms of the chair.
"Adrien, what is going on?" She said in a very stern, yet concerned voice.
"Nothing" What a lie.
"Adrien, I can tell there is something up. I need to know what's wrong."
"There's nothing wrong professor" If only he could tell her, make all of this madness go away.
Get the creep out of his head. But, she would never believe him
"Adrien Malfoy. If you don't tell me what is wrong with you right now, I'm going to have to get
nasty and dive into your mind"
"There is nothing wrong ma'am." He said. He would tell her now, but for some reason, he just
couldn't. The words couldn't form, they wouldn't escape his mouth, he had lost all control of his
body.
"Alright then. Hold still." she said gripping his head and letting herself dive in. She yanked
herself out, and fell down moment later. "Oh God" she said staring into his eyes in disbelief. Her
mouth hung open as she sat on the floor, shocked. "How could he?"
"How could who?" Adrien asked wanting to know who was in his head. Rowena picked herself
up and walked around, pacing in the wake of what news she had received. "Lets go" she said
grabbing Adrien's wrist and heading back up to the astronomy tower.
They got there to find the place empty, and a note on the board. 'I let them out early, I thought it
would be better if you didn't have this on your mind as well as whatever else is going on. ~Salazar'
"Oh, how good of him" Rowena said scowling at the note. The she turned to her young
counterpart. "Adrien, go back to bed, I shall speak with you in the morning."
"Yes Professor" He said and turned around to go back to the tower.
~You've still got to get that cloak for me~ Serpent Tongue said slyly. Adrien turned on a dime to
Godric's office.
***************
Rowena walked down the long hallway back from the astronomy tower. Even after the lessons
were done she liked to stay there and gaze at the stars. She started to love the sky after Emma
had died. Emma Hufflepuff, you couldn't find a better person. But her death had hit Rowena
hard, so one of her only comforts was in believing that she had gone to a better place. Rowena
knew that Emma would always have wanted to watch over them, even if she couldn't be there for
the people she loved. Rowena took comfort in the belief that she was out there, one of those
stars, watching her, Helga, everyone.
On her way she passed a ghost roaming the halls. She waved Hello and continued walking, then
strangely she saw out of the corner of her eye, a foot. Just sitting there. Then it was gone. She
wondered a moment at it, then thought nothing of it. It must be her old mind playing tricks on
her. The from out of the darkness she heard the word ring out like a bell screaming it's toll.
"IMPERIO!"

DUM DUM DUMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried a cliffie, please forgive me for my stupidity in the arts of cliffie-ness.
Trust me, the math does add up. I worked it all out with a calculator too, just in case my brain
decided to fool me....again. Powder make-up is fun, heeheehee! Does anybody think that Godric
resembles Lockhart, just a hell of a lot smarter, and with Green eyes???? I do.
I love irony. I think its fun. To write something, have everyone know, except one person. That's
good stuff. Hehehehe.
The Caf‚ they go to is SOOOO real. I've been there, and I loved it. It's in Durango, and it has to
be the cutest place I've EVER eaten at. All Mediterranean food, I had veal. Ahhh, almost as
good as Lobster Bisk.
ONE MORE WEEK AND I"M IN MAINE!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I get to eat my
beautiful Lobster Bisk again. I can't wait!!!! I get to leave all of you suckers!!!! Hehehehehe!!
The bad thing is that I won't have a computer to type all of my lovely story ideas, God I get so
many when I'm up there. The setting is AMAZING!!!! If you wish to hear more about it, you
can put me in the place of Hermione in my story "Arts", read it, there is a chapter in whcich my
Maine is in, and all of MY emotions towards the place come out, not Hermione. I tend to write
her as me in most cases, seeing as which she is the only main character that is a girl, and my age
as a matter of fact. BABBLE, BABBLE, BABBLE!!!
