THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO REVIEWED! You know I love you right? Well, if you didn't then now you do. Lupus Argenteus Noctus, Betta-in-Blue, querty...I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Lily stood there for what must have been hours, just staring at the old Griffen, then she shook her head and looked up as yet another Griffen entered the clearing. His wing feathers were beginning to turn gray and his head was completely white but he emitted an aura of power- even from the distance that Lily, James, Mirel, and Willow were at. He moved with a quiet ease, full of self-confidence and ready to take on the world. There was only one being who could be that powerful...Dumbledore. Albus Dumbledore.
The old Griffen walked up beside Lily and turned to the gray Centaur chieftain. "Taurus, It is fine. They are with the Order." No mistaking, that was the Headmaster's voice. "I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you, breaking in on your counsel of war. How is the young Rowan?"
The Centaur chuckled and looked to the skies. "Mars isn't bright. Venus is dim. Centaurus stands out. Rowan is safely asleep beside his mother. The same should go for all other young ones of the world."
Dumbledore nodded and turned, herding the Marauders back towards the castle...back towards safety. Lily paused for just a moment, then she and her friends followed the two older Griffens. On the way through the Woods, Lily kept an eye on Professor Dumbledore's back. She nearly jumped when he turned, so intent was she.
Dumbledore's eyes glowed blue, even in his griffen form...as-Lily Supposed-her amber eyes glowed amber. But Dumbledore's eyes were twinkling. And that was a MOST welcome sight.
"Sir...?" She ventured.
"Trouble seems to find its way to you automatically, Miss Evans, Mister Potter, Miss Verl, and Miss Meese. You could have been in grave danger, had the Centaur tribes not found you. But, past is past-I always say-and now I suggest you shift back and return to your rooms at once. As this is the first offence, you shan't have any detention and you two..." He eyed James and Lily. "Shan't lose your badges. However, repeat this mistake and I shall let Professor Jedrick himself deal out your punishments."
The Marauders gulped and shifted back, then they hustled-under the comforting assurance of the invisibility cloak that James had inherited from his great Grandpa-back up to the Gryffindor Common Room to collapse into bed, too tired to keep their eyes open even long enough to pull off their own cloaks.
Lily awoke as she usually did bright and early the next morning. However, even before she slid out of her warm nest of a bed, she sensed something amiss...Something...wrong. The feeling of wrongness grew as she walked out of the Head Girl's Dormitory and into the Common Room. Her eyes scanned the room once quickly, then she took a staggered step back and a shriek ripped its way from her throat.
The commotion following erased all doubt from her mind that this wasn't a dream...James, Mirel, Willow, Sirius, and Remus appeared somehow beside and behind her, holding her to comfort her. But when they saw what she was so afraid of, it was all they could do to keep from screaming in horror, themselves.
Across the wall in one of the Gryffindor First Year, Kurin Prichett's blood...were written the words "One down, More to come."
It was a well known fact that Kurin was a Muggle Born.
Stardust's Ramblings: Sowwy, I know it's short. And Lupus, The story loves you too. =P Once again, do tell what you think. I know I know I KNOW this is a SHORT chapter but I sprained my wrist this weekend and it's hard to type. You know the drill, and-wonder of all wonders-my right hand IS needed to type as quickly and painlessly (In a literal sense of speaking.) as I can. Anyway, once again, those of you who are pushing that wonderful little button in the bottom left corner that allows you to submit reviews...I love you!
