~ Chapter 17 ~
~ Alive & New School ~
After the killing course was cast the four were thrown backward in a small explosion. Severus who landed close to Amanda moved over to see her. There she lay, "She doesn't even look dead." Severus said softly. He held back tears as he wipe some hair out of her face. He moved over pulling her into his lap as he laid his head on her shoulder.
"Don't cry for me, Severus." He looked up and saw almost identical eyes of his little sister looking up at him.
"Amanda, your. alive." He said softly in shock and she smiled at him
"Amazing talent you have to state the obvious." She said trying to be funny but the pained look in her eyes gave her away. Harry walked over and put a hand on Severus' shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Dad." He said, not even trying to stop the tears that were running down his face (but well mixed with sweat so you didn't know it was tears).
"So, have you killed Oldie Moldie Voldie?" she asked him and he looked over at her
"Your alive?"
"Looks like it!" she said happily. Then Malum ran over. as fast as he could and dropped to his knees in front of her, seeing that she was alive.
"You okay little sister?" Amanda nodded
"How much damage has been done to the rest of the school?" Severus asked
"Bad, fights took place everywhere" Malum said as Severus made to help Amanda up
"No go help others, I'll be okay here!" Amanda told them and they went out to go help others
~~~~~~~~ Nikkie Slawhead saw Ron laying in a puddle of blood. She ran over to him and placed a hand on his forehead. She could tell he had been hit with the pain curse one too many times. She knelt beside him and began to sing, as she song her hair grew long, past the middle of her back and turned blue. After she finished the song she looked down at him and smiled as his eyes fluttered open, "Ron! Your okay!" she cried and buried her face into his chest. At first Ron didn't know who she was but he soon figured it out as he said,
"Shhh. Nikkie, it will be all right, I okay now. shh" She looked up at him and smiled and he looked at her oddly,
"Why do you have blue hair?"
"I'll tell you later" she said, and he nodded as the three male Snapes ran up.
"Miss Slawhead, Mr. Weasley, can you both stand?" Severus asked and the two nodded, "Then go over to the corner where all the alive are gathering." He said and the three walked off again (not before Harry got to make sure Ron was okay thought).
~~~~~~~ The guys kept walking and healing and sending people on their way to the corner. When there they saw Harry's Lady in Red. She was healing people with the flick of her hand. She walked over to Harry, "Harry Alexander, The-Boy-Who-Lived, no The-Boy-Who-Help-Save-The-World. I thank you, my love. You have helped to bring my families out of hiding." She said as Malum and Severus looked at her in shock, it was hardly ever that a Birthstone Snake fell in love with a mortal. The last was Dumbledore, but his love was killed 30 years before they knew him and before him it hadn't happened from the time of the Founders.
She moved a hand and put it on Harry's scare, and when she removed her hand it changed. When the lightning bolt scare was there was a snake that was winding down his forehead and stopping at the top of his nose, between his eyebrows. Harry reached a hand up and felt a finger down it. "It means you are loved by a Birthstone Snake. Plus you have the power of our Birthstone."
"You're my Prophetess" he asked her looking confused
"I must confess I am, Romagna Prophetess, Princess of Rubies, and seer. But later on we will talk, I promise you that." She said as she ran her hand through his hair and she disappeared.
Harry looked at Malum, "What did she mean by 'you have the power of our Birthstone'?"
"Think of yourself as a snake." He said and Harry did so. He felt himself get smaller and when he opened his eyes everything was larger. Then Severus held a mirror down low and Harry was shocked at what he saw. Where he was standing there was a ruby red snake with green eyes and a lightning bolt scare down his forehead. The snake closed it's eyes and Harry was standing there again.
~ Later that Day ~ "I regret having to inform you this, but Hogwarts is now long in any condition to have students attend. We will be moving to another school for at least the rest of this year." Dumbledore said as everyone muttered stuff, "We will be attending Secret Garden School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Everyone please touch your portkey (that had magically appeared in front of him) and on three we will be there. One. two. three." and with a pop they were at Secret Garden.
Secret Garden wasn't just a school it was a whole little town. The school was made of gray stone and it was the same size of Hogwarts, there were store, shops, and little restaurants around the school (about 500 ft away, just to stay off school grounds). There were little houses and everything anyone could want in a town.
All kinds of people were running around too. Centaurs, fairies with different color hair, leprechauns, and these ones weren't small like other leprechauns they could pass off for normal people any day, there were shape- shifters, very odd with multi colored hair and rainbow colored eyes, and any other magical creature you could imagine.
Then a little girl around 12 with brown eyes and rainbow colored eyes (half werewolf half shape-shifter) ran up yelling "Professor Snape!" Everyone looked at Severus who was looking shocked but everyone understood (but still a little taken aback by what they saw) as she threw her arms around Malum who hugged the girl gently back. "Your back to stay right, Professor?" the little girl asked him as she looked up at him. He bent down to her level, "We will see, my girl, we will see. Could you be a doll and go get Headmaster Leonardo, Miss Sylvia." She nodded and he winked at her jokingly as she turned around and started running up the hill he yelled, "Thanks Sydney!"
A/N: 4844 words? Good yea? You guys really didn't think I kill myself off now did ya. ( I hope you guys liked it, hey Prophetess of Hearts you were right! Umm. to the review about Malum's name it means malum : evil, misfortune, misdeed, crime, injury, damage, don't know why he has that name but I just liked the sound of it. It just proves Amanda's an odd ball with her being the only girl and her having the only normal name (after all Severus means stern, harsh) So let me know what you thoughts.
