Chapter 6:
Lathina flew toward the ruined castle, wondering what would have happened if she had listened to Professor Magwitch. She would have gone inside. Lathina didn't want to think about it. Now, where was the Light? It was in the innermost room of the castle, which would mean it was in the innermost section of the ruins. Wonderful.
Lathina landed above what looked to be the middle of the rubble. There were odd stains and powders all around her. She assumed she was on top of the Potion's Wing. Careful not to touch anything, Lathina crept around until she was sure. Yes, this was the room directly on top of the Heartfire: the center of the magic of American Academy of Magic.
Inside the Heartfire, if Lathina could remember correctly, was the case that enclosed the Light. It was indestructible glass that could only be broken by the Headmaster or Mistress of the Academy. Around the case was a fire shield that would burn anyone but an Academy student or teacher. There were all sorts of spells and enchantments around the room itself, but Lathina guessed that they had been disintegrated in the blast. Possibly the fire had been too.
Lathina sat on a piece of glass, contemplating how to get into the Heartfire. She took out her wand and pointed it at the dust at her feet. "Flipendo!" A hole appeared just big enough for Lathina to slide down into. She did. With a soft thump, Lathina landed feet first on the cold stone floor of the Heartfire.
The room did not seem to have suffered any damage. This was old magic at its best: protecting one of the most powerful objects in the universe. In the middle of the chamber stood the glass case, and inside the case, was the Light. A ring of fire surrounded the case, but Lathina wasn't worried about that. Not pausing to wonder how she managed to bypass the other outside spells, she walked into the flaming ring.
In seconds, her whole body felt icy, and as she walked though the fire, a voice began to sing incomprehensible words. Lathina couldn't stand the cold, so with one last giant step, she flew out of the fire ring. There, in front of her was the Light. Only once had Lathina been able to look upon it at a ceremony of Changing Master in the middle of her First Year.
The Light was a crystal vase with a glass stopper on top, and inside it, was neither, liquid, gas, or solid. It was Light, and from time to time, a brief image passed over it. Lathina knew enough to say these images were things that were in the past, present and future. That was what the Light did, among other things. It's power would make the owner immortal.
Lathina reached out and stroked the glass. Little bolts of electricity flowed down her fingers into her heart, where they settled, creating a soft buzz. This is why Voldemort attacked the school. Duh! He'll probably be back soon.I should really get out of here. Lathina tried to pick up the glass case, but it stuck fast to the pedestal. Damn! Now what? Lathina, acting out of frustration, threw a fist at the glass. To her surprise, it shattered, spraying her with pieces of glass.
Examining her hand, she saw it was bleeding profusely. That's so weird! I should have been able to do that! Lathina tore a piece of cloth from her green robes and wrapped it around her hands. She took the Light and placed it in a cloth sling around her back, tying it snuggly to make sure it wouldn't fall. Lathina wriggled out of the hole above her head, and mounted her broom.
She cast the invisibility spell on herself, and flew off in the direction of the others..
Time: 10:30 am Place: Somewhere over the border of Arizona.
Lathina thought back to yesterday and before that when school was so lighthearted and fun. Dragon House wore green robes and slept in the West Tower. Baislik House wore red robes and slept in the East Tower. Centaur House wore yellow robes and slept in the north tower, and Veruzl House wore blue robes and slept in the South Tower. Every morning they would all eat breakfast in the dining hall, with its floating chairs and tables all on different levels. She would take classes, and sleep in her own bedroom, taking the flying balcony up and down to each room. Their common room had floating beanbag chairs and pillows. She missed it.
Nothing would ever be the same again. Lathina looked at the ground below, searching for the group. Far ahead there was nothing, but then, the group was invisible. But the spell should be starting to wear off. Suddenly, she saw them. In a deep forest below, the group stood watching the sky for some sign of Lathina. She flew down to meet them. Just as her feet touched the ground and she took off the spell, the Light began to vibrate on her back.
Lathina took it out, but could barley keep hold of it. It stopped, and a violent vision appeared in its depths. Lord Voldemort stood at the hole Lathina had made, looking down into it. A green light expanded and exploded, and all they could hear coming from the Light was one long, cold, cruel scream.
Wheeeeeeeee! Clifhangers! Hehehehehe! Review pretty please! Make my crappy day better! (AND it would be nice if someone reassured me that not all guys are assholes PLEASE!) buh byez!
