Heirs of Hogwarts

Chapter 2
What! She is the heir of Godric Gryffindor? Mikhail thought in shock. "I don't believe you!"
"But I am," Amorina protested.
The young Slytherin heir crossed his arms defiantly. "Prove it."
Amorina searched her young mind of the knowledge she had absorbed over her short lifetime, trying to find a memory that would prove her point. "I, uh, you see, uh, I don't have any things that I can show you to prove my place within the Gryffindor family just yet but-." Amorina cut off, her emerald eyes suddenly going blank. She felt a jolt of electricity rush through her veins. Then all went black.
***********************************************************************
It was pitch black. Amorina couldn't see a thing. She felt herself weave through a maze of darkness, as if falling into a bottomless pit. Where am I, she asked herself. In a place of hidden secrets of the future, a voice replied.
Who's there? Amorina asked.
A figure stepped out into the shadows, and the surroundings became clearer, trees sprouting from around.
Where am I, Amorina said in a voice barely above a whisper.
You are in a land of secrets of the future untold, was the reply, as the cloaked figure pointed a bony finger at the ground, surrounding a magnificent castle.
Amorina looked in awe at the surroundings. New spring flowers were blooming in the sunlight. Without warning, a shadow fell upon the two onlookers. The figure's face turned grave. Oh, no, the figure, who was supposedly a man, said.
The young heir looked around, startled at the sudden darkness. Wh-what's going on? She asked, her voice having a hint of uncertainty.
The man said nothing as a sudden bolt of lightning struck the ground, the earth trembling. Amorina jumped slightly, moving a bit closer to the older man. What's happening!? Amorina asked, her voice not hiding its frighten tone.
The man lowered his eyes. He's here, was all he said. Amorina looked at him. Who's here?
The man whirled around, facing the young child. He is here. You must defeat him. The wind howled in their ears as the man tried to speak. You and three others are the only ones that can defeat him.
But who is he, Amorina asked, getting a bit desperate. Her surroundings began to fade, darkness engulfing her.
You must defeat him………You must defeat him. The man's voice echoed through the raging storm. You….must….defeat….him…. The voice faded, and finally stopped.
Amorina felt her self waver beneath her own body weight. I must defeat him, she thought, the man's voice echoing in her mind. I must.
But who is he?

The soft music of her violin floated through the crowded pub. After playing a few more measures, she stopped, and took a bow. The listeners clapped, clacking their beer jugs together. Kalika blushed as she set her violin in a velvet case. "Thank you all for listening. I have enjoyed playing here for the past summer and I hope to be back here next year." The crowd groaned, knowing their little violinist was going to be leaving the next week. After hugging and shaking the hands of her fans, Kalika walked out of The Three Broomsticks and hugged her violin closer to her as the crisp wind hit her face.
Kalika hummed as she walked a few blocks, making her way towards her home. Passing by, she saw a young boy, who was looking uncomfortable, and a girl about her age lying on the floor. Oh, dear. I wonder what is wrong. Kalika made her way to them. Once she saw that the girl was unconscious, she quickened her pace.
************************************************************************
Mikhail was unsure of what to do. His family would kill him if he ever lifted a finger for another, much less the heir of Gryffindor. He sighed, knowing well that he was going to help her, regardless of his family's rules. "Uh, are you okay?" He shook her shoulder gently. Nothing happened. He shook her shoulders again, this time with a little more force. "Are you okay?" She didn't move again. What is wrong with her? She was fine a minute ago………how could a person just fall unconscious like that? Mikhail pondered.
"Uh, excuse me. Is something wrong?"
Mikhail jumped. He had been deep in thought and didn't notice the black-haired girl walk up behind him. "Well, I was just talking to this girl a while ago, and she just collapsed onto the ground. For no apparent reason," He added. He was surprised that he heard his voice filled with worry. Since when did I, Mikhail Slytherin, worry about another?
The girl placed her violin on the floor and gently shook the girl. "Excuse me? Are you okay?" She didn't respond. She tried again. "Excuse me," she said a bit loudly. The girl stirred slightly. She opened her forest green eyes, which looked confused.
"I must defeat him," The girl murmured.
"Excuse me?" Kalika said, her turn to be confused. She looked up at the boy, who was standing there, looking even more uncomfortable. "Um, excuse me, but you'll probably have to take her to a nurse or something. I think that she must have had some sort of a shock."
"Oh, yes, you're right, except I don't know where she lives or anything about her. It's just that I met her on the street and then she just fainted, or whatever," Mikhail replied, his eyes still a bit glazed over.
Kalika stood up and dusted off her muggle shorts. "Well, I guess I best be going now. It's getting late."
Mikhail looked up at the sky and noticed the sun setting. He looked down and saw his so-called rival sitting up rubbing her head, for there was a visible bruise forming. "Yes, I guess you are right. It is getting late. Well then, nice meeting you, and thanks."
Kalika smiled a warm smile. "No problem." As she began to walk away, she paused. "Do you happen to be going to Hogwarts this year?"
Surprised at the question, Mikhail was silent for a moment. Regaining his senses he said, "Why yes. Are you?"
Without looking back, Kalika replied, "Yes." She continued to walk down the cobblestone street, still feeling the faint auras of the two magical people. I wonder……
************************************************************************
Rubbing her head, Amorina sat up, still feeling the aftermath of her vision. She then noticed the Slytherin heir, still standing with her, watching a raven-haired colored girl walk away.
"Um, what just happened?" Amorina asked, feeling a little dizzy.
Mikhail turned to her. He crossed his arms. "Well, that is what I would like to know. What happened? You were talking, then you suddenly just collapse onto the ground!"
"I-I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble." Amorina looked up. "Also, who was that girl that was here a minute ago?"
"Oh her. Well I don't know her exactly, but she came over here to help recover you," Mikhail informed, getting a bit annoyed since the young girl kept on asking so many questions. Just like the rest of them Gryffindors. "And now I have to take you somewhere, like your home or to a nurse."
Seeing the annoyed expression on his face, Amorina decided to find her own way to a nurse. "It's okay, I can manage." She tried to get up, only to fall back down again. She heard the heir of Slytherin let out an exasperated sigh.
"Come on, let me help you." He tried to reach down and grab her hand but she held back.
"I said I can manage," Amorina said in a firm voice. "Besides, I know that you don't really want to help me. You are just saying that because of that girl. Only she didn't know who she was talking to. She would have probably run away screaming 'bloody hell'."
Mikhail felt his blood boil. "You Gryffindors think you know everything! Well you don't! You all have families and everything. Well listen up then. I was raised never knowing my real parents! I lived with followers of Voldemort. I never had a real family!" Mikhail felt like sitting down and crying. He had never told anyone about his past and how he lived. Not even his closest friend who he knew forever.
The anger that had leaked out of Mikhail had consumed Amorina. "You think you are the only one without parents? I may have been part of a loving adoptive family, but I never met my parents either! I have been an orphan for nearly my entire life, since I was eleven months old! My parents died at the hands of Voldemort! I have never even seen a portrait of my parents!" Amorina yelled at Mikhail, expressing her anger towards the young boy. You Slytherins aren't the only ones that don't have families.
Amorina stood up, blinking back tears that threatened to fall. "I don't have anytime to argue with an arrogant Slytherin like yourself." She turned on her heel and ran down the street, the moon casting a shadow on where she ran. She heard Mikhail yelling to her.
"Well it doesn't matter if you run away from me now! I'll still be seeing you in Hogwarts September 1st!"
Amorina stopped in her tracks, nearly tripping over a loose stone. She whirled around saying, "You are going to Hogwarts this year?" She threw her hands up in the air. "Great, now I have to put up with you in classes too, for nine months!"
"You think I'm happy?" Mikhail shouted back. "I don't even know your name!"
"Well, if you wanted to know, you could've just asked," Amorina said in a huff. She paused. "It's Amorina."
"Mine is Mikhail, although I don't know why I am telling a Gryffindor that."
"Well then don't! I am really leaving now, so GOOD-BYE!"
"Same to you!"
Each heir turned on their separate ways, angered by the news they had just received.
