Chapter 2
1 Draco's Point of View
Where is that stupid giant. He probably got lost…
" 'Moine!!!! 'Arry!!!! Ron!!!!! Oh 'ello." And her comes the man of the hour! That's if you can consider him a man…more of a monster really. I sighed and watched as the Muggle and her friends started a conversation with the brut.
I closed my eyes and thought about how it had felt when Dumbledore had got me out of the Death Eaters grasp. It had felt…I don't know, wonderful? Yes that about sums it up. Wonderful. Suddenly wonderful turned to really bad. All my friends. Surely they'd still be my friends. Right? Well Crabbe and Goyle…no they would take me as a trader. But the others…oh god. I don't think I'll be able to live this next year alone. They'll all go against me. Every Slytherin is going to go against me.
"DRACO!"
I looked coldly at Hermoine, "What?"
"Hagrid is taking us to Diagon Alley Hotel. Are you just going to stand there?" I snorted but held my tongue.
The giant brut walked us to rather nice hotel. Yes I admit, it was nice. We checked in and to my delight (disgust) there were only two rooms. One for the Muggle and one for Weasel, Pothead, and me. Suddenly I wished that I were back at Hogwarts in that small room Dumbledore had stuck me in.
I laid down on the small twin bed and stared at the ceiling and counted the dots. My eyes slowly closed…
Back at Hogwarts…(Author POV)
(An: This next Part will be confusing.)
Dumbledore sat in front of the fire and got ready for his talk with Trinity. As he went over his notes in his head, Cedric watched in interest from the portrait.
"Well here goes nothing…" Dumbledore threw the potion into the flame and chanted the location Trinity had written in the letter.
Trinity looked at the fire as an old withered face appeared. His eyes looked at her lightly amused. 'Defiantly Dumbledore…'
'She doesn't look a thing like Snape…thank goodness.' Albus smirked. "Miss Wentburg? Hello!"
Trinity smiled at him and waved. "Hi! Mr. Dumbledore? I take it you got my letter…" he nodded an affirmative and got a serious look on his face.
"Yes. Well I think that we may be able to have you come here. But first…" He paused and held up a record labeled 'TRINITY WENTBURG, RECORD,' "I was looking over your record. It saws here that you were suspended for a week, on a count of you and a incident with a group of manticores?"
Trinity's face went deathly pale as she remembered the incident. Her whole right arm had to be rejuvenated. In her Care of Magical and Mystical Creatures her teacher had assigned everyone a manticore, much as Hagrid had done when he assigned Harry and the other Hogwarts a blast ended skrewt. (And coincidently the manticores just happened to be the proud parent of those feisty skrewts.) The manticore had shot a poisonous dart at her from its tail and then had devoured her arm. The only reason she wasn't fully devoured was that her Professor, Mrs. McFiren had walked in. However instead of sympathy she had gotten royally pissed. After stunning the manticore McFiren had turned to Trinity with fire in her eyes…Yes Trinity remembered that very well. She had been caught trying to let the manticores loose in her rival, Princess, bedroom and was suspended with this from Morgaine: YOU ARE SUSPENDED FOR TRYING TO INJURE/KILL A FELLOW CLASSMATE.
"Miss Trinity?" Dumbledore had watched as her face changed expressions for the last 10 minutes. Trinity looked at him from the fire, "Yes I was suspended, unfortunately."
Dumbledore looked at her perplexed, "Miss Trinity…I was just trying to make sure that was right. I couldn't understand how a straight 'A' student, like yourself, who was, even though you were only in your 3rd year, made the Head Girl at your school."
Trinity flinched, "Yes well I was suspended. I made a mistake and went to far with my anger."
Dumbledore decided that a change of subject was in need, "Well when did you want to come here?"
Trinity's eyes brightened, "Well as soon as possible. Mrs. Morgaine…well she bothers me A LOT…."
Dumbledore laughed lightly, "Yes that old bidd…well as soon as you want. How about you suggest…"
"Well tomorrow…or as soon…" She blushed and looked down at her hands.
Dumbledore put his hand on his chin and thought and suddenly his eyes bugged out, "That's perfect! Tomorrow Hagrid can go pick up the prefects and then pick up you! Then you can help us..." he looked at the fire, "Yes! You can catch the Pegasus Dream Express. That way you can rest on the way! Well that is if you can be ready to go by tonight? I mean it will take about a day for you to arrive. Either that or you can go by flow…"
"No that's fine! Besides as you said I can get rest on the way. Oh yes before I forget…Well how are you going to decide what house I will be in?"
"Well as soon as we have the time, when you get here, the Sorting Hat will sort you. And perhaps Miss Granger, a prefect, can show you around. Also perhaps you can teach some of the prefects the mighty Wentburg spell I've been hearing so much about."
Trinity gaped, "Well, ummm…can I get back to you on that?"
Albus nodded, "Yes I wasn't expecting your answer so soon." Dumbledore looked behind him as his door opened. Snape walked in and scowled as he saw his niece's face. She smirked and waved at him and muttered a small, 'hi.' Dumbledore saw the look on Snape's face and realized that he needed to talk with him. He turned back to Trinity, "Well anyways consider that. And I'll talk to you soon." He winked at her.
"Yes well…I will." She paused and waved at Snape, "Bye Uncle! See you soon!"
And just like that the connection was lost. Dumbledore stood up and put his hand up as Snape attempted to talk, "Please wait a second. I have to get a hold of someone." He put his wand into the air and enchanted a few words and a small pixie appeared in front of him. "Hello there Pagean can you please have her Ladyship Morgana stop the Express by Glamis Castle? Tonight I need you to pick up a student." The small blue pixie nodded. Dumbledore patted her on the head; "Tell her Dumbledore asked her to drop the girl of at 9 and ¾." The pixie bowed and nodded and disappeared in a blue poof.
Snape looked at Dumbledore baffled, "What…" he straightened his back and, "Yes…well Hagrid is back and is awaiting your instructions. Also I was doing my rounds and as I passed the Slytherin Hallway something strange happened. I well…I saw a figure it looked like…well a basilisk."
"What?" Dumbledore scratched his head.
"Well it was a venom spitting serpent. A dragon looking creature. What more do you want me to say?" Snape, who didn't like being embarrassed, was VERY embarrassed.
Dumbledore stood there and thought about it for a moment but shook his head, "Ummm…well what happened to it?"
Snape's nose raised, "Well it just looked at me and disappeared. It was like it transported itself. But Dumbledore I don't think you quite understand…this creature was about the length of the Great Hall. Or at least that's what I could tell, it was all wrapped up in a circle."
Dumbledore turned his back and thought to himself before turning back to Snape, "Thank you for the information. It is very helpful. Now can I ask a favor?"
Snape nodded, looking proud of himself, "Well sure I guess."
"Can you please go back into the Slytherin corridor and then go into each room and make sure that nothing is well…lurking in the shadows."
Snape nodded and walked out of the room, with his head raised. Dumbledore nodded back and looked at the fire.
Trinity raised her wand and put all of her stuff into a cedar chest, which with a bit of magic still had enough room to fit her chest of wands and such. She looked around the empty room. She slapped her forehead and walked to her closet and pointed her wand at the wall. With a swipe of her wand her signature appeared;
Trinity Wentburg, Head Girl *
She turned back to the empty room and wiped the sweat of her forehead, "Well goodbye…" All the sudden a swish sound was heard above her.
"Oh where do you think your going? Off on a vacation? And what is that? DID YOU WRITE ON MY WALL?" Trinity picked up her chest as the ghost stared at the wall.
"Sorry to break it to you but, your dead and this room isn't yours or mine anymore." Trinity hopped around on one foot for a minute or so, "Ow!"
Lady Janet, the lady of the castle, who had been burned at the stake years ago for practicing witchcraft, looked at Trinity amused, "What do you mean?"
"I'm moving. I'm going to Hogwarts to live with my uncle. Tonight I catch the Pegasus Dream Express." Lady Janet looked excited.
"Hogwarts?! My old buddy lives there! Promise you'll tell him I said hi?" Lady Janet floated down and looked at Trinity with a smile. Trinity nodded and Janet smiled, "Well his names Peeves. Tell him I said hi!" She did a small curtsy in the air and disappeared, "You are truly a wonderful girl Trinity! And a wonderful witch!"
Trinity decided that carrying the chest out was impossible and placed a floating spell, "Wemgardiam Leviosa!"
The chest floated next to her as she walked down the hall to the teacher's hall. She knocked thrice, "Vivian Lady of the Lake." The door swung open and Trinity stepped in, "Hello?"
Professor McFiren, and Professor Morgaine XVIII appeared before her. Professor McFiren's eyes bugged out as she noticed the floating chest, "Ye' leavin' so soon?" Obviously Professor Morgaine had told her.
Trinity bowed, "Yes I just wanted to say farewell. Professor Dumbledore is sending the Pegasus Dream Express to pick me up."
Both Professor's hugged her and with a tearful wave walked her out the front of the castle, where as if on cue the light blue bus flew from the clouds. Its wheels floated of the ground on white fluffy clouds. A beautiful Elvin woman, dressed in a silver wispy dress, stepped out and grabbed Trinity's trunk. She put it inside and waved Trinity forward. Trinity looked back at the castle once more before stepping on the bus.
"Hello Miss! I am Ice Breath, please follow me." As if in a trance Trinity followed the Elvin woman to the back. Where bits of clouds lay, making small beds. "Please make yourself comfortable, it will be a long ride."
Trinity fell on to the cloudy bed as the train started and instantly felt herself get sleepy. As she felt herself falling into a peaceful slumber a thought struck her mind, 'I forgot to say goodbye to Christian.'
Draco rubbed his eyes and looked into the dark room. Two light snores were heard. Draco hissed at himself. Why did he always seem to wake up in the middle of the night? God now he was never going to get to sleep. He closed his eyes and thought silently to himself, and before he knew it his rival, Harry Potter, was rousing him.
Draco's eyes watered as the bright sun hit his eyes. Ron grunted and put on his maroon sweatshirt. While, Harry sat there and cleaned his glasses. Draco got out of bed and got dressed. After getting dressed he turned to the two boys, "What on earth are we doing today?"
Harry shrugged, "I don't know. Hermoine told us to meet her this morning in the diner."
Draco rolled up his sleeves, making himself look cool. (At least he thought so) And walked out the door and headed toward the area that had a 'DINER' sign above it. As predicted Hermoine was seen, looking chipper, at the counter. She waved them over. As they walked over they noticed the man sitting next to her.
"Hagrid? Didn't we just tell you goodbye yesterday?" Ron sat next to Hagrid. Harry and Draco sat down next to Hermoine.
Hagrid smiled, " Dumbledore changed 'is mind. He said that he wanted you 'all ter come now. But 'irst we 'ave ter do some things for 'im."
Harry and Ron looked at each other. "Well ok…"
Hagrid sighed, "That 'Umbledore sure changes his mind a lot."
'Yeah…' ran through the three guys minds.
Hagrid rubbed his palms together, " 'et's have some breakfast."
