Disclaimer: I own none of the characters in this fic except for
Essie, Loki, and a couple of very minor Ravenclaw quidditch players and
that really, really minor Slytherin chaser.
~Fic starts here~
Loki was so psyched. Yes! Finally a chance to FINALLY show Draco how good at quidditch she was. Yeah, she heard Draco was good, but guess what? She was SO totally better.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The day was really clear and cold. Loki was all hyper. NOT a good thing. In potions class she ended up adding 10 cups of narcissus roots instead of one to her self hate serum. And it exploded on Snape. The result? Yeah, Snape was even more of narcissist (an: that's a person who really, REALLY loves themselves a whole huge bunch). Oh well.at least Ess was happy. Snape being a narcissist meant no checking Ess out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally, it was time for quidditch. Good thing too, because Loki was bouncing off the walls. Literally. She was leaping and jumping and God knows what. Because she was playing Slytherin. Ha-ha. She was so in her Lokiblaster mood right now. Uh-oh. Essie was shooting her these 'shut up or I'll hit you looks.' Best shut up. Essie could hit HARD.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Loki was soaring through the air, occasionally hitting a bludger. Wait. What was she doing? She needed to get her rear into gear. Bludger? Oh here was one. She smacked it right at a Slytherin who was about to score. Ha ha. She'd like to see him score with a broken arm. "and beater Lokara Thompson breaks Slytherin chaser Edward Selien's arm, preventing him from scoring. Good. It's high time she put her habit or breaking things to good use." "HEY!" yelled Loki. Geez. It just had to be Snape commentating, right? Holy smokes! Essie and Draco were diving! Had they seen the snitch already? GOD! That was fast! Best help Essie. God. She could not believe she was actually gonna intentionally break Draco's nose. Here goes nothing she thought. *CRACK*. The bludger connected solidly with her club. *WHAM* it bashed into Draco's head just as Essie grabbed the snitch. "And Ravenclaw wins, 210 points to 0, with the fastest match in Hogwarts history" yelled Snape. Loki would have bet 10 galleons Snape was really pouting right now. OH MI GOD! Draco was lying flat on the ground! NOO! She did NOT just kill her boyfriend. She flew down and ran up to him. "Draco, Draco, speak sweetie!" Draco just lay there. "OH MY GOD!" Loki didn't know what to do. Was mouth-to-mouth only for drowning? Oh well. She stuck her mouth on his and started to TRY (an: try is the key word there ;p) to revive him when-Draco's arms went around her and pulled her down on top of him. "What the?" Loki was once again cut off my Draco's mouthy. Draco had rolled on top of her and was kissing. Rather passionately. "Scared you, didn't I" said Draco smugly "Yeah."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the game, everyone went straight to the Great Hall for the Halloween Feast. Loki was just getting congratulated by Harry when a vision hit her. Hard. .she saw Hogwarts engulfed in a column of flame. She would have screamed, but a piece of cloth was rammed down her throat. She was crying. Not for the building, but for the people, dying a fiery death inside. She briefly saw an inside view of the castle: Hermione Granger was burning to death. She looked up in horror to see Harry imprisoned in the air by ribbons of red magic, coming from the wands of what must be deatheaters. The magic pulsed with a painful current. Harry's yells were ones of pure pain as every few seconds the pulsation of the ribbons delivered a fresh shock. She started to collapse. She couldn't breath through the piece of cloth shoved down her throat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry watched in shock as Loki froze right in the middle of the Great Hall. Her mouth was open in a soundless scream, and silent tears were running down her face. She started to crumble to the ground. Harry caught her just in time. He gasped as he found himself in the same vision as Loki.
He was being held in the air by ribbons of crimson magic.ribbons that pulsated with what felt like a monstrous voltage of electricity. He yelled in pain as one of them crackled on his skin. He could fell and smell his skin burning. The rest of the Great Hall watched in shock as both Harry and Loki crumbled to the ground in pain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Loki woke up in the hospital wing. Essie was sitting next to her. "Essie" "Are you all right, Loki?" "Essie. I saw it. The future. What may be. Hogwarts engulfed in a pillar of flames, as people inside suffered a painful, fiery death. Harry imprisoned by blood-red bonds that pulsed with a magical current. One that burned. Harry imprisoned by deatheaters.oh Essie, I don't know what this means." Essie took Loki in her arms and rocked her, comfortingly, like a mother does to her child. "Sh, Sh, sleep now. You must rest. Everything will be fine." Harry, in the next bed, though, wasn't quite sure. He fingered the black chain of burns on his arm, burns that were in exact shape of the dark mark. They were exactly where the bonds had held him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, Loki walked around in a daze, taking great care to avoid all candles. It was the aftershock of her vision. She noticed people kept staring at her like she was going to fall to the ground and have a seizure or something. Draco was very supportive, though. Actually, he kept snogging her a lot. Which was what Loki wanted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Essie noticed Loki walking carefully around fires and candles. She supposed that after seeing the whole pillars of flames thing, Loki was all freaked out about someone setting the school on fire. She thought Loki would faint when she saw all the cauldron fires for potions. So Essie had a word with Snape. He assigned Loki the task or organizing his supplies cabinet. Snape told Loki he really didn't want her blowing anything up. Loki shrugged. At least she didn't have to go near all those fires. She vaguely heard Snape tell her to organizes them by powers of concentration (what the hell was that?) but ended up stacking them by color. Who knows? Maybe that's what he meant. She was jolted from her spectrum daze (does brown go at the end of the spectrum or the beginning?) by Snape's yelling. "Stupid girl! I said powers of concentration! NOT color-coding! Can't you do ANYTHING right?" Loki looked around. Oh. He was talking to her. "Well, this way, it's prettier. See, the reds are here, then the yellows, then the greens. Where do you want the browns? At the beginning or the end?" Snape's nostrils fared. Pretty? PRETTY? GOD! he had told her by powers of concentration. He had even written them on the containers!" "Stupid girl. Don't you even know what powers of concentration is? It's-" "A number, 1 through 10, assigned to a substance, depending on how potent a gram of it is mixed with water. 1 being the lowest, 10 being the highest. Veritaserum is the only known 10. Another name for the scale is the Potency Powers, which is what the rest of the world calls it. I'd think you would know that." Essie looked smugly at Snape as his normally pale face turned a lobster red and his nostrils slowly enlarged. His hands started to curl into fists. "OOH! THAT's what you meant! You should've said so!" piped Loki. Snape growled. Really growled. And shoved Essie out of the potions dungeon and followed her, slamming the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They were alone in the hallway. Snape was leering over Essie. She was actually scared now. "Uhh, got something up your nose, Snapers? Cuz your nostrils are big enough." "ARRGH!" yelled Snape as he pressed Essie against the wall, "refrain from your smart-arsed comments, Lei. Or I shall be forced to-" "Expel me?" "-Kiss you" "OK. I'll shut up now." "Oh? I'm that bad?" "No. You're that old." "Oh?" "Yeah. And if you say one more 'oh' I am so gonna-" "Slam me? That would get you detention, Miss Lei" "So? I really don't give a damn, Mr. Know-it-all-but-not-really!" "Oh?" *SLAP*. Essie's palm connected soundly with Snape's cheek. Oh shit. She had so not done that. there was a red mark on Snape's cheek. She was in major trouble now. Snape grabbed her hand and held it against the wall. He leaned in. "Your total lack of respect is notable in your actions, Lei" hissed Snape, "and my total disregard of personal space is evident in mine." He leaned even closer and kissed Essie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, in the potions dungeon, Draco was throwing an indignant fit. "Snape should be sacked! He had absolutely no right to get on your case, Loki! Just because of you not knowing what he meant! Seriously-" "Draco, darling, please be quiet. Snape just forgot about the different name the rest of the world gives the Powers of Concentration Scale" "NO! he didn't! he must not have known, the slimy old-" "Draco, do shut up. I like that you get indignant on my part, but-" "But what? I should have my father sack him, if he didn't know the-" Loki cut him off with her mouth. Sometimes it was the only way to shut a guy up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next class they had was Divination. Loki sighed. Lovely. Another session with the stuffy old bat. She walked into the class and sat down between Harry and Draco. Trelawney breezed in. "Ah, yes, my class. We will begin our review of crystal ball gazing today. Just take one of the balls in the center of your table dears. Oh, and someone grab Neville's for him. He'll drop his if he holds his-" *CRASH*. Too late. Neville had already dropped one. Trelawney had a smug look on her face. Loki rolled her eyes. So Neville had broken something. Well, God, he broke everything. Any normal person could tell that. She looked down at her ball. Well. There were 3 chips, a scratch, and finger-smudges decorated the entire surface. Lovely. How was she supposed to See anything when she couldn't see the mist inside her crystal? Oh well. She cleared her mind and gazed into her ball. Oh God, please not again. Not this vision again. .She turned herself around, or tired to. Her ankles and hands were tied. She gasped as she saw a masked deatheater repeatedly beat Essie. She saw a taller one, suddenly come up and kick the one who was beating Ess. Why was he stopping Essie's beating? The first deatheater crumbled to the ground and started to grovel. "Master, master, I was only doing what I thought right." "What you thought was wrong, Wormtail." Master? Oh shit. The tall guy had to be Voldemort. What was he saying?. "We need this one to bait Potter. Oh dear God. NO. "The other one we need to see our future. I want them both undamaged. The one you struck down could have killed you in a flash. Can't you fell her power?" What? Loki's eyes were reflecting the flames in her vision. She grabbed Harry's hand. "Harry. You must destroy Him. He is even stronger then before. He will not stop until he kills you and your brethren. He must be vanquished. He sows evil, not good, hate, not love, despair, not hope. His evil is as dark as midnight. Harry, he sows our DEATH!" Harry gasped. For a second, he saw Loki's vision. Loki started to crumble to the ground. Harry caught her and immediately fell into a faint from all the pain he felt from her vision.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Loki and Harry collapsed on the ground, all hell broke loose in the classroom. Trelawney was trying to revive Loki and Harry to see if she "could help Loki see further". Seamus Finnigan was poised to run from Madam Pomfrey. Draco was trying to get Trelawney off Loki, and Lavendar Brown and Parvati Patil were trying to see if THEY could see anymore of Loki's vision. Essie had had enough. She climbed on top of the table that Loki had been sitting at. "QUIET EVERYONE!" Everyone shut up. "Now, please listen to my directions-" "Miss Lei, I am the teacher here-" "Ah, yes, professor, but I have more experience with Loki's visions. She won't be able to see more. She'll be too worn down. Yes Seamus, please get Madam Pomfrey and aske for stretchers. Draco, go down to the Potions dungeon. Ask Snape for a sleeping potion that will also prevent dreams. I don't want Harry or Loki getting nightmares. If he gets all sneery, tell him I asked for it. No Lavendar, her vision is through. She won't be able to See more, so neither would you. Hermione, help me get Lok and Harry more comfortable with some of those pillows. Yes professor, I know what I'm doing" said Essie as Trelawney opened her mouth, "and no, I can't read minds. Is that Seamus? Good. OK, Ron, and Hermione, help me lift them into the stretchers, careful. I don't want them being jolted. And Crabbe, go down to the dungeons to tell Snape to bring the potion to the infirmary."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Essie had seen Loki and Harry to the Infirmary, she dashed off the History of Magic. Pomfrey had assured her that both Harry and Loki would be fine. Essie planned to come to check on them and the end of the day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
