1 Oh God
Skylar sat in the forest, knees drawn to her chest, and rocking back and forth. The centaurs were in a circle around her, not caring that they were talking about her in front of her.
"We are not to mess with humans Dantes, and you know that."
"It was foretold in the stars that we have to help a heavenly being. Her name is Skylar Black. Sky, heavenly. She needs our help. Look at her." Skylar was whispering the same words over.
"It does say that." Firenze said looking up at the sky. Skylar jerked and looked up at the centaurs.
"I'm just fine. I'll just be going back to the castle now, and explain the whole thing."
"No you don't. We know what's going on with you. Come."
"I'm fine. Nothings wrong with me, it left."
"No it didn't so don't lie. Dantes, Firenze, bring her." Dantes and Firenze grabbed her arms and lifted her off the ground. She didn't struggle, just whispered.
"Thank you. Help me. Please." She began to twitch again, and held back screams.
"How do we help her?"
"Find out what's wrong with her."
"I know some people that might be able to help."
"Who?"
"Hagrid and Harry Potter."
"How will they help?"
"Hagrid told me Potter is now an Auror, and this is his god sister. He'd be sure to help, and Hagrid would keep it from the teachers what is happening."
"Dantes, take her to your sisters home. Firenze, you go see Hagrid."
"Mercedes, I have a favor to ask."
"Yes?"
"Would you look after this human for me?" Dantes took Skylar off of his back and showed Mercedes.
"What's happened to her?"
"She's been foretold to be a toy for the new dark lord. He has her under a curse."
"Does she usually look and act like this?"
"No. She's usually laughing and carrying on with her friends. I've seen her eyes before, they are usually bright and happy."
"What will I be able to do to help?"
"Just make sure that you don't let her escape. The school is after her, and the Ministry wants to put her in Azkaban."
"A harmless creature like this in there? How stupid."
"She's not so harmless. She's very dangerous. She keeps saying pain, help me, voices, and then at times she actually says sentences she tries to convince us that she's fine."
"Oh. Well, I'll take care of her." Mercedes walked over to Skylar who was again laying down and staring at the ceiling with her soulless eyes.
"What's wrong dear?"
"Help. Voices, pain. Not do something. Pain. Scream. Scared. Mom. Dad. Prison. Mungos." Listening to Skylar, Mercedes got an idea. She grabbed a piece of tree bark and a quill and wrote down everything Skylar said.
Inside the castle, Max and Kurt were looking for Jessica. They finally came up with a good idea for a prank, and she was no where to be found. They walked down toward the library, when they found Alannah and Niaomi.
"Did you guys hear what happened with Skylar?" Alannah asked them.
"Something happened to Skylar?" Max yelled.
"Well maybe if you guys would stop pulling pranks on Ely and hung out with us again, you would have known that your god aunt is a wanted criminal." Niaomi lectured.
"Skylar is a wanted criminal? For what?" Max asked.
"She sent Crucio at a student. She escaped somehow and they are looking for her right now." Alannah said.
"What's Crucio?" Kurt asked.
"It's an Unforgiveable curse. Anyone that uses it on another person will be sent to Azkaban." Niaomi said.
"Why would she do something like that?" Max asked.
"She's under Imperious." Someone said. Jessica emerged from the library. She was carrying several books.
"How do you know that Ely?" Max growled.
"She has the symptoms of it." Jessica said.
"And you would know the symptoms for this curse how?" Niaomi asked.
"It's called a book. Maybe you should learn how to read one." Jessica said. She pushed her way past them and headed up to the Astronomy tower. Tim told her to meet him up there. He was called in for questioning. But he promised not to tell them about her helping Skylar escape.
Jessica opened the door and headed out to the balcony. She set the books down and leaned over the railing.
"Why can't things just be normal? I could be at my house, with my parents, and not know anything about the magical world. Not have people hating me for being different. My ears be a normal shape so people wouldn't always be looking at them. I don't even remember having a family ever. The people at the shelter just told me my parents died when I was 6 months old and I was taken to the shelter. And I know it's not normal to always talk to yourself."
"Defiantly not normal." Jessica spun around. Tim was standing there grinning. "Hey there." He said as he sat down beside her. Jessica blushed.
"Hi."
"So, did you get all the books from the library about the Unforgivable curses?"
"Yeah, but I ran into Max and the others. He just found out about Skylar."
"Are you serious? I would have thought his dad would have mentioned something." Tim said.
"Is his dad here?"
"Yeah, so you might want to lay off the pranks for a little bit. So lets get cracking." They read book after book looking for a counter curse of Imperious. The only thing they could find had to have the victim fighting it.
"It's hopeless. Can't we just kill Matt?"
"No, if you get sent to Azkaban, who is going to keep Max and Kurt in line?" Tim said jokingly. Jessica sighed and hit herself in the head with '1001 Counter Curses and Cures.'
"Don't do that, it will leave an imprint on the book." Tim said. Jessica glared at him, but set the book down.
"How will we be able to help her fight it?"
"I don't know. Remind her of the good old days, the ones she cares about. But the part that I don't understand is, that you have to be with the person to perform Imperious, and to keep them under it."
"Really? But she's been with different people all the time. How does Matt do it?"
"I don't know."
"When were you guys planning on telling me my daughter was about to be sent to Azkaban? When she killed someone?" Sirius yelled at the other Aurors. He was pacing in the meeting room, where Harry and Ron told him what happened. "And now, instead of me being able to take her out of Hogwarts to see if that solved it, she's escaped from 2 hit wizards, and no where to be found."
"We know where she is." Sirius looked at them with flaring eyes.
"Where?"
"The group of centaurs in the forbidden forest is taking care of her. Firenze gave me this. Mercedes, the female centaur watching her, wrote down everything she said." Harry handed Sirius the piece of bark. After reading it, Sirius became teary eyed, the fire quickly extinguished.
"Do you think we could see her?"
"I'll have to ask Dantes and Firenze."
"Okay. Have you questioned all of Sky's friends? And everyone that was even near her at the dance?"
"Yes. Meg said that she was acting 'mean and stuff' when they were getting ready, but that was because she touched a soft subject."
"What was that?"
"Sky going with Matt, and Tim going with Jenna."
"Sky likes Tim? Oh god." Sirius shook his head. "Who else did you ask?"
"Tim said that before the dance, she was acting fine and stuff, but then when he went over to ask her to dance, her eyes were blank, and when he walked near her, a voice was telling him to turn back. She could only whisper, as if something might hear if she talked louder. But when Matt Hartman came out to where they were, she said she was fine and walked back in with him. He's convinced that Matt is putting it on her."
"Did you ask Matt?"
"Yes. He said that she was acting strange at the dance and was watching Tim the entire night. He said that it was probably jealousy. We than asked him why Skylar would put cruico on Malfoy. Do you want to know what he said? He said that he probably made fun of her hair and that's why."
"Who else did you ask?"
"Well, we ran out of time, but tomorrow we are asking Jessica Ely, and the Gryffindors in Skylar's dorm."
"Who's Jessica Ely?"
"She's a first year. Tim said that he told Jessica that something was seriously going wrong at Hogwarts, and she knows about Sky's hand."
"Her hand? What's that got to do with it?"
"Oh, yeah. Tim told us about it. When Skylar ran into the Quidditch building last summer, she burnt her hand on the doorknob."
"I'm going tomorrow. You guys interview the others, I have to talk to Tim."
"Why? You're not going to do something to him are you?"
"No. I just want to know what the hell is wrong with my angel." Sirius stopped pacing and put his head in his hands. "You know, my last words to her was 'Have a good year and don't blow yourself up with one of those WWW pranks.' Before that I yelled at her because she crashed my motorcycle. I'm always screaming and yelling at her. Oh god. I'm turning into my father."
"But she loves you all the same."
"Harry." Sirius put his hands on Harry's shoulders. "Please find out if I can see my girl." Sirius grabbed his cloak and walked out of the room.
"We have to get him to be able to see Sky. If it was Niaomi I'd be doing the same thing."
"Yeah, I know Ron, I know."
"I don't trust that girl." Niaomi said as Jessica walked past them at dinner.
"Why? What has she ever done to you?" Tim asked sternly.
"She's a muggle-born and knows more curses than the Malfoys. Don't you find that a little strange?" Niaomi said.
"Maybe she's a bookworm like you." Tim said.
"You believe what you want believe, and I'll believe what I want to believe. And I believe that Jessica is the one putting Imperious on Skylar." Niaomi got up from the table and went up to the common room.
In the middle of History of Magic, Jessica was receiving glares from Niaomi, Max, and Kurt. She was looking through '1001 Counter Curses, and Cures' again. That was when someone knocked at the classroom door, interrupting the class.
"Can I speak to Jessica Ely please?" Ron Weasley asked. Jessica looked up at the sound of her name.
"Miss Ely, would you please go with Mr. Weasley?" Jessica grabbed her stuff and walked out the door.
"What did you want me for sir?" Jessica asked.
"You need to be interviewed by the Aurors about Skylar Black." Ron said.
"I can't do that." Ron froze in his tracks when Jessica said that.
"And why not?"
"Because I don't want Skylar or myself to come to any harm. Now if you excuse me, I'm going back to class." Jessica turned around and began to walk back to class, but Ron grabbed her and turned her back around.
"You know if you refuse to go into an interview with Aurors we can send you to Azkaban for being a spy." Ron said. He was of course lying, but since this was a first year muggle born, he knew that she'd believe him. Well, he thought she'd believe him.
"What is this Azkaban place anyway, and why are people so afraid of it? If you have to send me there, go ahead, but I need to get back to class." She retched herself from Ron's grip and walked back to class.
"Tim was right. She isn't normal." Ron said. He walked back to the classroom the Aurors were using to interview people.
Jessica didn't return to class, instead she headed toward the Forbidden Forest. She stole Max's invisibility cloak and was wearing that. Lorna Doors was watching her as she went into the forest.
"Now what is that girl doing?" Lorna asked herself. She exited the greenhouse and followed Jessica inside the forest.
"Skylar, are you over here?" Jessica called. Dantes came out to welcome her. Jessica took off the invisibility cloak and went up to him.
"How is she?" Jessica asked.
"Not so good. Did you find a way to break the curse?" Dantes asked.
"No, can you take me to her?" Dantes nodded and led Jessica to Mercedes and Skylar. Skylar was trying to tell the other centaurs that she was fine and that she needed to get back to the castle.
"Miss Ely. What are you doing in the Forbidden Forest?" Jessica spun around and came face to face with Lorna Doors.
"Pro.. professor." Jessica stuttered.
"You didn't answer my question." For once, Jessica didn't have a witty comeback or logical excuse.
"Um.. aah, please don't expel me." Jessica said.
"Oh don't worry my dear, you won't be expelled. You were helping me find rare fungi in the forest for extra credit remember?" It took Jessica a minute to realize Doors was covering for her.
"Thank you professor."
Jessica went over to Skylar and bent down to her level.
"I don't know what curse they put on you Skylar, but it's not Imperious. The caster of the spell has to be with you at all times. And too many different people have been around you to figure out who." Skylar turned her face to Jessica.
"I don't have a curse on me, I don't have anything wrong with me. Take me back to the Gryffindor common room." She sounded sincere enough, but she shook her head vigorously.
"Don't." She whispered before she started to twitch and scream. "Oh god! Help me!" She screamed out.
"Jessica, get out of here." Lorna pulled her away from Skylar, and pushed her away. "Go back to the castle and get one of the Aurors, either Harry or Lupin. Ask someone and tell him or her I want them. Got it? Go now." Lorna said it so urgently that Jessica sprinted back to the castle.
"I need to see Harry or Lupin." Jessica said through her heavy breathing to the red head that pulled her out of class.
"Why?"
"Professor Doors needs to see them urgently."
"What for?"
"She didn't say. She just needs to see them." Harry and Lupin came out of the classroom that was being used for the interviews, with Tara.
"Thank you. Ron, is this Jessica?"
"Yeah, she says Doors needs to see you urgently."
"Where?"
"Forbidden Forest. She sent me."
"Okay. Where?"
"She's with the centaurs."
"Jessica, take us to them. Ron when Jessica comes back, she'll give you a message. Come on." Harry and Remus followed Jessica to the centaurs.
"You know what this means?"
"What?"
"We are even more clueless than before." Remus told Lorna when they watched Harry checking Skylar.
"Guys, she seems to have Imperio on her, but Imperio doesn't let you speak at all." Harry said as he listened to Skylar saying that she was fine.
"And the thing about Tim hearing voices is strange too." Remus said.
"And not in a Joan of Ark way." Lorna stated. Jessica was standing nearby feeling useless. The adults didn't acknowledge her for quite some time. A yawn escaped her and brought the attention towards her.
"I need you to go get Sirius Black and Tim Weasley." Harry said.
"Alright sir. I'll be right back." Jessica said.
"No you won't. I want you to got get them and go back to class." Doors said.
"What? Why?" Jessica asked.
"Because this might get dirty if the person who put this curse on her decides to make it more interesting." Lupin said.
"But."
"Just go!" Skylar screamed, then she started shaking again. Jessica ran off to find Tim and Sirius.
A:N// Okay. From now on, we are going to post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until Christmas. How's that sound? Check back here those days. We better get writing more shouldn't we. We're half way through writing the first year. Now just 6 ½ more. Gah! Please review. And if you don't? Um, well.we'll think of some kind of threat.
Skylar sat in the forest, knees drawn to her chest, and rocking back and forth. The centaurs were in a circle around her, not caring that they were talking about her in front of her.
"We are not to mess with humans Dantes, and you know that."
