Jake stopped at the Gryffindor Tower after jogging through most of the castle. He entered quickly to find Harry just about to leave for breakfast with his friends.
"What's the matter Jake?" Hermione asked.
"I need . . . your help, Harry." Jake said from between painful gasps for breath. Seamus and Dean came over thoughtfully.
"What's the matter mate? You look like you just had a run-in with one of Hagrid's Blast-Ended Skrewts." Dean said. Jake glowered at Dean for that unwanted comment.
"Why do you need my help? And where's Selena anyway? I don't usually see you two apart." Harry said. Jake grabbed the collar of Harry's robes and lifted him off his feet! He gasped as Ron backed up a bit and Hermione moved forward, ready to stop Jake.
"If I had time to chat I wouldn't have run the whole way here! Will you help me or not?!" Harry as well as the others starred at Jake. His face was livid with
rage and fury, his eyes become diluted so that they were bottomless black pits with blue orbs around them. Ron gulped.
"If you'll stop threatening my life I'll go." Harry said. Jake took several deep breaths before allowing Harry's feet to once again touch the floor. "Now what's all of this about?" Jake motioned towards the portrait.
"I'll tell you on the way." Hermione stepped forward as they were about to leave.
"What about classes? Harry! You'll get into trouble!" Jake snorted.
"You're just like Selena! Always worried about the classes! Dumbledore himself said that Harry and I could skip the classes until we finish what we have to do." Ron and Seamus exchanged uneasy glances. Hermione bit her lip and Jake and Harry rushed towards the door. "Does this have anything to do with Voldemort?" Harry asked quickly.
"Dear God, I hope not. It has to do with Selena. She's missing and I think she's in trouble. Come on!" Both Gryffindors began to race out of the Common Room, leaving the four students shocked. Selena was missing? Where could she be?
"When did you see her last?" Harry asked as he kept pace with Jake.
"She and I were walking to breakfast when these two reporters named Rita Skeeter and Darla something snuck up on us and demanded an interview. I, er, met Fleur on our way back and Selena went off after I embarrassed her a little. I haven't seen her since but after I talked to Dumbledore I have a pretty good idea where she is." Harry blinked.
"All if this happened before breakfast?" Jake shrugged as they rounded a corner sharply.
"Yeah. We got up pretty early. Selena wanted to check on her owl. So did I."
"What kind of danger do you think she's in?" Harry asked.
"Bad enough that we're running there!" Their footsteps echoed as they ran. Yet, it felt as if they were miles away. Jake prayed that he'd make it in time to find Selena unharmed.
Selena looked around the room nervously. It was beautiful beyond words but something inside of Selena stopped her from enjoying its beauty. There was a large white marble table with beautiful rose designs traced over it and little vines poking over the
armrests of the delicate chairs beside it. There were little tea cups with rose designs on them and even some cakes on display.
The floor was a beautiful dark blue marble and the walls weren't made out of dark, cold stone like the rest of Hogwarts but a beautiful oak wood which was painted a soft lime green. There were towering French glass doors and even a beautiful balcony.
Selena felt as if she had been transported into a medieval fairy tale castle. The sunlight seemed to have tripled and flowed into the room naturally. Hogwarts was far behind her and yet this was a part of the great castle. She saw the edge of what appeared to be a small scarlet diary and picked it up curiously. She flipped through the first few pages pages, realizing that this was the Prince Elf's diary which she had read about in her book.
He had written his diary in Elfish but for some, strange reason Selena could automatically understood the words. She went through some of it and a name caught her eye. It mentioned something about Jake. Jake? Selena thought, I forgot all about him. But then Harry's voice interupted her thoughts.
"Please, sit down. Have something to eat if you're hungry." Harry said with a polite smile as he took a seat at the beautiful table. Selena sat down beside him and starred at the food. She put down the Diary and then smiled a bit shyly at finding some alone time with Harry. She would have probably started eating the food viciously it if she hadn't felt so nervous. Something was definitely wrong. This place was far too cheerful to be safe. Selena knew to go with her gut instinct.
She frowned slightly and looked at Harry, who was being unusually suspicious.
"So how have you been? We don't get to talk much and I've been wondering how you like the school." Harry said calmly as he crossed his legs regally and began to sip his tea with half closed eyelids. Selena began to fidget nervously. "Er, I'm doing fine I guess. The classes are alright and I like the people." Harry placed his tea down. "I wasn't talking about that." Selena's heart skipped a beat. "What I meant was how is your love life going?" Selena laughed quietly and blushed to the roots of her golden hair and starred down at her fingers obsessively. Harry's eyes had been filled with so much
determination and hunger; the poor girl couldn't have held his gaze for very long.
"I guess my social life is okay, even though I don't have a boyfriend." Selena said slowly as she lifted the tea cup but then put it back down. She began to nibble on a nail nervously. What had suddenly sparked Harry's interest in her? It certainly hadn't been
apparent that he thought of her at all before that moment. Had he always thought about her or was it just a random subject?
"Would you like to have a boyfriend?"
"I guess so."
"Who do you want to be your boyfriend?" Selena didn't answer, just starred at the tea cup. Eventually she began to lift it and then put it back down. "Why won't you drink your tea? Did you think I put something in it?" Selena blushed. She shook her head no. But Harry lifted his head high with suspicion. Could he know she was lying? Could she have guessed what was wrong? "No, of course not." Selena raised it to her lips to
show that she didn't think so but then the warning signals in her mind started going crazy. She dropped the cup and leapt out of her chair. The cup floated in mid air before floating back to the saucer it had been sitting on before. "You think I poisoned it?" Harry asked calmly. "What the hell is going on?! Why are you doing this?!" Selena yelled, her anger finally grabbing hold of her. "Calm down my dear. It wouldn't do for you to grow
angry." Harry said calmly as he sipped his tea again. Selena felt her heart increase painfully in her chest. Since when did Harry call her 'my dear'? "Your cousin is fast approaching."
He smiled a mysterious dark smile. So not like Harry. "What? Jake?" Selena said, a little disoriented with the sudden change in topic. She backed away and started to wonder if she should get out of here. "Yes. The boy certainly knows how to stop a person's
fun." Harry stood and moved towards Selena. The blond girl leapt away but somehow became cornered. "I've wanted to meet you ever since this place was built. The prophecy has it that you must choose between light and darkness. 'The one most vulnerable must make the largest sacrifice, whether to choose naughty or nice'." The person who wasn't really Harry smirked in that same bizarre way that he did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jake and Harry rushed up the marble stairs in very fast pace. The orb around Jake's necklace burned with a sickening green light and Jake's heart pounded painfully with both fury and speed. Jake could have sworn he heard someone up ahead. He reached for
the door which seemed meters away. The door that really wasn't there to anyone but Jake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry, who was not really Harry, came too close to Selena. He could have touched noses with her even though he hadn't done anything yet. "What is it you want?" "Are you frightened of me Selena?", "Yes." The Harry look-alike snorted. "I doubt it. You seem to have a lot of courage now."
The Harry trapped with Selena was about to put his hands over her shoulders as the door bursted open! Jake looked at the imposter furiously and Harry looked at his double with disbelief and confusion. "What is this!?" He said in fury.
The Imposter scowls at them. Harry stares back.
"Jake!" Selena said. She ran past the shocked imposter and right into Jake, who held her protectively. The double grinned darkly and spoke, "No need for this hostility my friends, don't ever think about it Jake." He looked at Jake as his wand appeared in his hand. It flew off and so did Harry's and the two boys were thrown against the walls. They were pinned there by invisible threads.
"It was rude of you both to burst in here on us without knocking. Why fight me? I never meant any harm." The imposter took form. He changed into his real self. Selena gasped as she watched. He instantly changed, his face growing longer and his body taller. He now had midnight black hair and bottomless black eyes. He spread his hands out and
bowed slightly. "It's wonderful to meet you again, Selena.", "Who the hell are you?!" The girl demanded shrilly. "An angel." The young man said, smirking broadly as he sauntered closer to her. "My name is Shadow." Shadow grabbed her chin and starred straight into her terrified cobalt eyes. "If you need me, call me. I'll always be around. I'll
warn you now, since you look so cute when you're confused, that not everything is as it appears to be. Devils might be the sweetest angels, and angels might turn out to be such devils." Shadow smirked as he swiftly kissed Selena's nose and disappeared. Jake and
Harry were released from their bonds, they were shaken from running and from fear.
"Who the hell was that?!" Jake demanded as he stormed towards Selena. She was shivering terribly. "I don't know." She mumbled, "He said he's an Angel. I should have known, Jake." She buried her head in Jake's shoulder and began to cry softly. She had really been terrified.
"What now?" Harry asked. "We should get out of here. It's far too dangerous here. You okay now?", "No, I'm not okay! It was so confusing. Now I know I should not
have followed him." Selena mumbled angrily. "Selena, it's okay now. Harry, let's get out of here.", "Why did he bear my appearance?" Harry asked, not budging. "To lure me into a trap." Selena said to him. Tears trickled from her face steadily before she wipped them away. Jake noticed the diary sitting on the table, the one the Elf prince had written in. Selena saw where Jake was looking, and takes it with her. "What are you doing now?" Jake asked. "I have to show you something. But first, let's get out of here. We need to speak with Dumbledore." Selena said shakenly. Jake nodded. Harry was confused. They
rushed out of the tower hoping nothing would happen that would change their day anymore. Harry was told to get to the class but Jake and Selena rushed toward Dumbledore to speak about the Diary and the Dark prince named Shadow. The day wouldn't have been so eventful if it hadn't been the night of the Goblet of Fire.
Whoo weeee. A good suspense with bit of twist. Soon you'll see what happens next when we get some few more chapters yp. Stick around. Review! And a nice feedback would be great!!!
