Okay I already said the disclaimer in the last chapter so this is going to be my last one. We all know I don't own any of the characters that I didn't make up. Only a few, which you'll know if you know your Sailor Moon and Harry Potter.
"Changed"She changed that night. For two years she traveled around helping Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix. That summer hurt her more then anything, being left by Severus. She hadn't spoken to him, but she still went to Hogwarts to gather her missions, just avoided him. And kept a secret from him. She was going to tell him, but he had saw her kissing Remus that night. And with the fighting, she didn't get a chance to.
That summer also surprised her. She didn't know that he loved her. She thought he used her, like she used him, to lessen the pain of life. But that night she found out that he loved her. Loved. Past tense. He had loved her, now she didn't know how he felt about her. Not that she blamed him. After kissing Remus like that so shamelessly. But he had to understand, Remus was an old flame, and she still carried feelings for him. I mean they liked each other for two years, and dated for five years. Well three years really, the other two years was getting to know each other better.
She hardly acted human. She hardened her heart and mind for everybody, except for two small persons. People who meant so much to her, who gave her a reason to live. Her twins. Hers and Severus's, not that he knew, though.
The thirty-one year old sighed, before running a hand through her pale blond, slightly streaked with silver, layered, barely grazing her shoulders, length hair. Retracting her hand, she shook it, watching as grains of Egyptian sand fell back to more sand. She stood from her crouched position, positive that the Death Eaters wouldn't Apparate to the tomb that night. Hell, she snorted, they probably didn't know it was this tomb. Lifting her hands above her head, she stretched, revealing a tan tone stomach, as her simple white shirt slightly raised. Putting her hands down to her sides, she looked up at the midnight sky, relishing in the silver moonlight. Picking up her rucksack, she swung it over her shoulder before deciding she better head back to the small inn she was staying at, after a small sign trip. Closing her blue eyes, she concentrated on a small oasis she heard about from a few wizards, feeling the familiar tug at her naval, before a resounding *pop* was heard.
She appeared at the oasis in one piece, showing that she did indeed have a license for Apparating. Dropping the sack on the floor near a small pool of water, she landed on the ground on her knees. Cupping her hands together, she dipped them in the clear water, bringing them to her dry lips when they filled with water, slurping it up. Refreshed she dipped her hands back in, splashing it on her face to rid her of the dirt, grime, and sand marring her. Leaning forward on her hands, she bowed her head down into the water, along the way showing a small red fiery phoenix following the curve of the back of her right ear, before its tail curled up, so that it remained obscure from people, unless she showed them.
Being human (although she was bitten twice by vampires, one on her neck, and the other on her right wrist. Both white scars showing on her tanned skin) she had to breathe, so she snapped her head up, sending sprays of water everywhere. After shaking her head to get rid of excess water, which resulted having her hair curled out more, looking spikier at the sides, and had her looking kick ass, she shed her black duster off, showing slightly toned muscles. Of course she still looked petite but most people underestimated her anyways. Turning her head to the left, she stared at the blue wrapping on her upper arm. Grasping one of the two long tendrils, she worked untying the knot with one hand. When the knot was no more she unwrapped the thin cloth, then started scrubbing it in the water. When that was done she laid it down on a clean rock to dry a bit before she left.
Leaning against the same rock, she pulled the sack into her lap, searching for a piece of parchment, a quill, and a bottle of ink. With the items mentioned, she also picked out a small book to act as a desk. Thinking about what she was going to say, she unscrewed the top of the inkbottle. Dipping the tip of the quill in the bottle, she quickly jotted down her daily report, having no need to start with a heading to whom this was directed to.
-
Safe. None arrived. Mistaken. Undisturbed. Retrieve at sunrise. Out.
-
Finished with the short progress report, she took her ebony wand out of the rucksack. Swishing then flicking she muttered a small charm over the parchment, watching as it glowed a soft yellow, waiting for the blood signature of the one who was only allowed to read. Grabbing a small vial of blood, she let a drop fall on the note, muttering the blood's owner.
Rolling the parchment up into a small roll, she shot out a string of neon blue light into the sky, out of the tip of her wand. Not having to wait long, a high screeching cry was heard above, before she felt a familiar flutter of wings around her head. Landing on the ground, the hawk cocked his head to the side, hopping to her, and then lifted a leg up for her to tie the note on. Finishing tying the letter, she muttered, "Hogwarts", as she pushed her arm up, allowing him a push off to fly off towards Europe.
She packed her stuff back into the pack, rising from the ground. Grabbing the blue cloth, she wrapped it back around her arm, before dusting herself off. Grabbing her duster and pack off the ground she knew in two days she would she her kids again. And in three weeks, prepare herself to be in Severus's presence for the year. But she allowed herself a smile, as she was going to finally see her godson. A *pop* was heard as she left to go receive supplies.
Heh, this is my second chapter for my story. I really didn't think that I was going to make a story for it. It was supposed to be a one shot but my reviewers asked to continue. So I am. Not that I planned it, this just popped into my head, when I was listening to my Queen of the Damned soundtrack and that got me into the mood. So walla! Okay now for review responses.
Silver Moon Goddess: I know what you mean, but I go with – wait can't tell you that. That would be biased I guess, oh well. Thanks and I will continue to write, as long as I get a Prodigy cd. I wanna listen to Smack My Bitch Up. Lol, if certain ppl named mum, who I sometimes call woman (even if I'm a girl myself) is reading this, then get me that cd! Plez! Opps got side tracked for a moment, anyway thanks for the review.
Rurouni Tatsu: Never? Really? I'm touched. I'm original! Who-ha! A&W is actually smart for once! /You know I do know how to read ya, know?/ Really? I just thought you were bragging. I mean you do act like clever-clogs. /I beg your pardon? I do not act like clever-clogs!/ Could've fooled me. /Prat./ Pillock. /Chuffer./ Chrome dome. /I'm not even bald! I'm not even Human!/ … /Can't say anything can you? Outsmarted by a can of root beer. How sad./ … /Now that she finally shut-up, I'll finish this thank you. So uh, thank you? Aw bah-humbug! She's better at this sort of things, but she got outsmarted by a can! So there! Ego went up! Thanks once again./
(): More? Mmmmmm, okay! I'll write as much as I can. (Puts hand on heart) Scout's honor. / You were never in girl scouts. So what honor?/ Shhhhhhhh! Quiet you! (claps hands over A&W's mouth…errrrr…whatever he talks outta anyway.) Itai? Opps got distracted again. So like I said before, I'll write as much as I can. Scou--- errrrrr… writer's honor!
tenshi-chikyuu: Hehe. I left you in suspense. Go me! Anyway, I hope I did an okay job on this chapter. Hopefully I did, but blah to it anyway. Hmmmmm it's quiet in here. Too quiet. Where's A&W? /:snoring:/ Cans can snore? Huh. Didn't know that. I guess it's true. You do learn something new a day errrrrr or rather night as it is 11:10pm right now for me anyway. Imagine that. Sooooo anyway thanks for the review! Please continue reviewing. All of you keep reviewing!
In the next chapter I'll explain a few things like ages, and other stuff. Lol. I'm such a freak. I did all this math stuff to figure out when the characters were born and how to make it more fitting to each other. Oh well I know I'm not the only one who did it. So bye until next chapter!
