Part 2

In the Morning

Salazar Slytherin was interupted by a loud explosion in the right side of the kingdom. "Esmeralda!" he shouted.

She nodded to him, and then stood up out of her chair and flew straight up, high above them.  She looked where the sound came from and then looked down at Salazar with a worried look on her face. She landed on the ground next to him.

"The Sabers are back, sire." Esmeralda said, looking down.

Slytherin suddenly smiled, and said, "Perfect."

They all just looked at him with a heightened state of insecurity. Then he began to speak.

"Esmeralda! This is a perfect time for you to prove to us that your magic is powerful enough to defeat these soldiers" Slytherin said

"Without killing, mind you!" Godric said

"But before you go off into battle, "Slytherin said, fixing himself up, as another loud explosion banged in the kingdom, "Transport us to the sentry to watch your trickery."

She simply nodded, and put her hands in the air. And then all of a sudden they were all standing in the Sentry, which overlooked the whole kingdom. She then ran to the edge, jumping on the rail, then simply dove down, quickly whisking her way up. She then flew straight towards where the colony was being destroyed. Cannonballs only being thrown for one side. A thousand ordinary people versus one sorceress.

She landed on the ground, and just as she did all the warring stopped. Everyone looked at her with curiosity, wondering why Hogwarts had sent a woman, instead of an entire army. She knew this, but just grinned, throwing her hand back, forming a small round green ball, then threw it at them. At least a hundred of the soldiers flew out of sight and into the air. At first, the soldiers were silent, not moving an inch, but then one tall man in a purple suit, and on a white horse rode in, like a ripple in a still lake. He shouted loudly, he said approaching the cannon. "KILL HER!"

She had expected them to charge at her with gleaming swords and devilish arrows. But instead, they aimed the cannon straight at her. She raised her left eyebrow to a high degree.

And, sure enough, with the word,"FIRE!" the ball came gliding straight out at Esmeralda, and she held her hand straight out at it, as if she was about to catch it, but instead the ball, slowed down at her, and then came speeding back at the cannon, and it went back inside it and out its end, exploding.

She just chuckled. They had no more weapons. They could've used horses, but only the man in purple had one. And he came charging at her, with his lance in hand. But Esmeralda didn't even move, and he fell off his horse. She just stood there, crossed her arms and watched. She then waved her hands in front of them, seeming to make a figure eight, and they all vanished back to their colony.

Back at the Sentry

"What a stunning display, Sorceress." Slytherin said as she bowed. "It Looks as if we have ourselves a solution! Godric! Compile the army! Rowena and Helga, clear the castle and make preparations for the training to take place here. Esmeralda! Use your magic to build another castle for me, for the training will take place in this very one."
