Chapter 3
....:::::::: Slytherin Common Room, At Night ::::::::....
Draco was looking around to see anything that would look like a secret way to a girl's room.
The full moon was shining brightly on the small staircase in the back of the Common Room.
'Ah ha! I think I found it.' Draco thought as he quietly walked towards the staircase.
'Ok. I guess this is it.'
He started walking up the stairs quietly.
Then the staircase came to an end and in front of him was a black and seemingly heavy wooden door.
'Uhh. Creepy.'
He opened the door a bit and saw a room decorated in black and silver.
Then he heard a man's voice coming from nowhere.
"Ha! Do you really think that your threatening will stop me from coming to Hogwarts? Remember what I did in your first Transfiguration class this year? You're weak and you know it!"
"I won't let you destroy everyone's lives! You already ruined mine! There are so many powerful witches and wizards in this school that you couldn't leave here without being injured! Dumbledore's here with us, remember?"
"Dumbledore! That weak old wizard! He couldn't harm me in any ways!"
"Just leave me alone! I came here to be in peace, not to be interrupted by a. a murderer!"
"I'll get you anyway, Kou! You may want me to leave, but I'll be always in your nightmares!"
The cruel voice faded and Draco pushed the door until he saw Angelique sitting on the black carpet facing the fire in the fireplace. "Malfoy! How long have you been there?" She asked.
'How the hell did she know I was here? She doesn't have eyes on the back of her head, does she?!'
"Enough to hear you talking to Him."
Angelique turned around slowly and looked really pale.
"Do you know what this means? If you would tell *anybody*, then I'll have to go to the 'wonderland'."
"Angelique?"
"What?"
"Could you tell me why does He want to kill you?"
"It's a long story, Malfoy."
"Call me Draco."
"Alright, *Draco*. Could I tell you the short version of this?"
"Yes, get on with the story."
"I should tell you first that I am not a real human. I'm an Elf and I lived in the beautiful kingdom of Elves. Until the day Voldemort ruined it all. My family was killed, my *race* was killed. I am the only pure-blooded Elf on Earth now."
Draco didn't have anything to say when he heard her story and when Angelique showed him her ears, what were pointy.
Voldemort had killed her race.
He used to think that Voldemort was.
He hadn't really thought about what Voldemort was.
He just. was
. Draco had thought that He couldn't be so cruel because his father wouldn't, he couldn't work for such. beast.
"Angelique? How do Elves look? Do they look exactly like you?"
"Not exactly. But mainly, yes. They are tall; they have hair the color like mine and emerald green eyes, of course they have pointy ears. I mean they *were* like that."
"But there are many people who the same colored hair or green eyes or who-"
"Who have pointy ears. Yes, there are many people who have something elves have, not everything elves have. They are called half-elves. Their mother or father had been an elf."
"But-"
"But, but, but - don't you understand that it's hard for me to talk about my *dead* race?"
"I'm sorry-"
"Now you say you're sorry! Get out of here! Get out of my room! Get out of my damned life!"
Draco got up quickly and hurried out.
He heard her scream on the top of her lungs, "AND SHUT THE DOOR BEHIND YOU!"
'God, I hope that nobody heard this.' Draco thought as he quickly ran towards the 5th Year Boys' Dorm.
'I'm really lucky that she never liked Pansy. They'd make my life a living hell.'
Draco fell asleep, afraid to face Angelique's wrath the next day.
....:::::::: The Great Hall, Breakfast The Next Day ::::::::....
Angelique wasn't seemingly angry at Draco; she just pretended that he doesn't exist.
It was even worse than anger for Draco.
When he tried to apologize, she looked through him or started a conversation with someone next to her.
'Argh, I have Divinations with Gryffindors and I have to sit between Potter and Weasley. Damned be, Trelawney, for doing this. Oh well, at least Malfoy doesn't take that class.' Angelique said as she tried to remember what classes she'll have this day.
She ate her breakfast quickly and took the direction to the Divinations class.
....:::::::: Divinations Class ::::::::....
"Hello, my dear class. Today we are going to try to see our future in crystal orbs again, for you still haven't succeeded. So please begin now."
Angelique locked her eyes on the orb and only saw thick fog.
Soon the fog started to go away and she could see something, she didn't understand what.
There were many wizards trying to kill another wizard.
Angelique soon saw that it was Voldemort.
He attacked a girl; she couldn't see how the girl looked like.
But suddenly someone, a boy, jumped before the girl and got killed.
Then there was another picture in front of her, a woman attacking Voldemort.
It was a totally different place, while the other had been in some building; this one was in some forest.
Angelique could see the woman saying a spell, but before she could see more, the crystal orb was filled with fog once again.
"Harry, look, do you think she's seeing something?" Ron said to Harry, who was looking at the girl between them too.
"I think she does."
"Professor Trelawney? I think Angelique is seeing something in this. this orb-thingy."
"Mr. Weasley, it's a crystal orb," Trelawney said looking at Angelique.
"Oh dear," Trelawney mumbled to herself, "this isn't good," She said looking at the terror in Angelique's eyes and her stiff body.
Angelique thought that the orb didn't want to show her more, but two red eyes appeared in the fog and she felt a familiar, but not welcomed feeling come over her.
Then the owner of those eyes spoke to her, he didn't realize that Angelique was in a classroom and that everyone could hear him talking to her.
"Hello again, little girl. Will you threat me again? You know you can't stop me from coming to Hogwarts and killing you and that. Potter. "
There was silence in the class and everyone looked at Angelique.
"Why so silent? Scared? Don't be scared of your death, your mother and father were and look what happened to them."
Suddenly Angelique fainted and as the connection between her and the orb faded, Voldemort couldn't speak.
The crystal orb fell off the table and shattered to millions of pieces.
"Mr. Potter. Take her to. to the Hospital Wing. And Mr. Weasley. Try to clean the mess up." Trelawney said with a shaky voice.
"Yes, Professor," Harry and Ron answered at the same time.
Harry took the fainted girl's body from the floor and made his way to the Hospital Wing.
....:::::::: On The Way To The Hospital Wing ::::::::....
Harry had gotten lost on his way to the Hospital Wing and was now in a corridor he had never been to.
Suddenly he felt the motionless body on his hands move.
"Where am I? Potter! Put me down *now*!" Angelique ordered and Harry let her free.
"But I had to take you to the Hospital Wing!"
"Why? Oh, yes."
"Let's go now! Where are you going?" Harry saw the girl go towards a huge painting of a beautiful woman.
No, it was definitely a Queen.
Yes, a Queen.
The Queen of Elves.
Harry remembered that they had learned about Elves some time ago in History of Magic and there had been a similar picture of the Queen of Elves in their book.
Harry looked at Angelique.
She was going towards the picture and touched the frame gently.
"Mother," Angelique whispered quietly.
Harry couldn't hear her but understood that she said something.
The Queen of Elves, Amelile, kneeled and whispered something back.
"My dear daughter." was all she said and luckily Harry didn't hear that either.
Harry went closer to the painting and looked at the Queen.
She was an extremely beautiful woman with her long light brown hair, emerald green eyes and pointy ears.
She was tall too; Harry remembered that all the Elves were.
The Queen looked at Harry, "Hello, Harry. I'm glad to see you finally. Your mother was a beautiful woman, did you know that? She was a rebel, but still beautiful. Too bad she had to die."
Angelique smirked - Harry's mother Lily had been an Elf too.
She had been a rebel, as Amelile had said and she had colored her hair red.
Lily was some kind of role model for Angelique. Harry looked shocked, "You knew my mother?"
"Yes, I did, Harry. She stopped by often and we talked for hours sometimes."
"Oh. Angelique, we should really go now,"
"Where are you going?"
"Angelique fainted in the Divinations class - she saw something in the crystal orb - and I had to take her to the Hospital Wing."
"Alright, but she doesn't seem ill anymore, now does she?"
"She doesn't, but she probably still needs a check-up, Queen," Came a voice behind Harry and Angelique.
"Oh, Severus, are you sure?"
"Yes, I am, Queen Amelile. Potter, you go back to your class, I'll take care of her."
"Yes, Professor."
After Harry was gone, Queen Amelile spoke.
"Angelique, my dear, what happened?"
"It was just Voldemort again, I do not really know *why* I fainted, I never have while talking to him."
"You're talking to Him often? Why do you talk to such bastard?"
"Mother, He always starts the conversation. I can't do anything about it!"
"Alright, my dear, go now, Severus is already anxious, I can see it in his eyes," Amelile smiled a little.
"Goodbye, Mother."
"Goodbye, dear."
.....:::::::: Hospital Wing ::::::::....
"Well, Ms. Kou, I personally think you are a very healthy girl, maybe you just were using too much energy with that orb?"
"I don't know. Maybe I did, yes, I probably did. Can I go now?"
"Yes, you can. By the way, Severus, you shouldn't be so worried about Ms. Kou, she can handle herself quite well."
"I know what I do, Poppy, I don't need your comments."
