Chapter 3 ~ The Evenings
Disclaimer: The last chapter may have seemed a little cheesy and it may seem as you get farther into the book that they have a perfect life but things will get wild so be prepared. Most of my chapters are short so there will just be lots of short chapters!
~ Harry had, of course, packed up and walked out the front door to a car that was waiting for them with a grin form ear to ear. He waved goodbye to the Dursley's as he got into the car and to his surprise got a wave back. The car took off to. They were driving for a long time, maybe an hour or so before they took a break. They stopped at a small restaurant and ordered Chinese food to go. Harry went back outside to wait for Sirius by the car and quickly wished that he hadn't. There was a girl in all black, sitting on a black horses back. He didn't know why but she gave him the shivers. She sat there staring at him until Sirius came back out. When she saw him she turned and started to walk her horse away, but Harry had the eerie feeling that he would see her again soon. Harry hopped back into the car grateful for Sirius's arrival.
~ Harry and Sirius ate in silence as the car drove on. After a few more moments peace however Sirius took out some paperwork that he needed to work on and Harry started to stare out of the window. He quickly fell into a deep sleep and slept the rest of the way.~
~ "Hey Harry" Sirius literally yelled. Harry jumped and awoke to his fathers laughs. "Hey that's not funny and how come ya'." he stopped his sentence when he saw the house he was in front of. It looked like some kind of ancient castle. "Welcome to your new home Harry" Sirius said still watching him with much amusement, " and wait till ya' see what's inside." He laughed again at Harry's confused look and choked out his words "trot along now you'll never find out if you stay in here." With a very much- confused look Harry made his way to the large front doors. He swung them open. Nothing. He looked over at a suit of armor a sign next to it read King Jonathan of Conte's armor. He looked it over again. It was neat looking. He took a few more steps and found himself looking at a sword, a beautiful sword. The sign below it read ' Raven Armory used by the knight and former commander, of the second group of the kings own, Keladry of Midelan'. Almost everything in the great entrance hall had come from a commoner, a knight or in one case a King of Tortall. His father slipped inside without him noticing " I thought you would appreciate knowing a little bit about where the new student is coming from." His soft words came from the back of the room. Harry turned around and watched as his father pulled back the curtains on a newly set display. Bows and arrows as well as pictures of animals filled part of the area. The other parts were photos. Harry looked at the main photo and read the caption under it. ' Veralidaine Salmalin II. Daughter of Veralidaine Sarrasri and Numair Salmalin. Her mother is a wild mage, can communicate and transform into animals, and her father is a mage. The most powerful couple aside from the King and Queen. Veralidaine herself is also a mage and wild mage, she is thirteen and resides in the palace in the city of Corus'. A maid came over and started dragging Harry to bed. "Well" said Harry as he was being dragged away "I guess I'll comprehend more in the mornin'. Good night." Sirius turned and closed the curtains he walked over to a sword that hung on the wall. "Good night my son" he muttered "sleep well I have a lot to teach you in just a few weeks."~
(Daine's evening)
~ Daine stepped back out of her room into the hallway, which leads to the dining hall. She decided she would surprise them with the new muggle look. She had on her indigo blue chords with a white, plain halter on. She had slipped on her new strappy clogs on and applied a proper amount of white shimmery eye shadow. She let her hair fall down to her high back so she wouldn't be so bare. She giggled to herself. I don't look half-bad she thought. She knew that when she walked into the room that some of the guys would walk up to her. Most of the squires had already tried to bed her and each time she would refuse but always be sweet. That's a problem she thought because they keep on coming back. Well it's off to dinner.~
~ She walked into the mess hall and saw Roald roll his eyes as every boy scrambled to his feet and walked over. She winked at him and he smiled at her giving her the encouraging look. The guys started to ask her if she needed any help later. She politely thanked them but responded that she was in no need of help. The guys solemnly went back to their chairs. It was the same answer each time "no." When she had finished getting her food Roald motioned for her to come join him and his friends. She started to walk over there but found the biggest pest in her way. He whispered something so that nobody but Daine could her him. "Never in a million years Daniel" was her pert answer. He whispered something else "I don't think so, but maybe when pigs start flying." She looked over at Alanna all the knight could do was give her a wink of encouragement and go back to her meal. Finally Daniel said, "well will you model the clothes you got today." "Oh alright now could you please move I'm kind of hungry." The squires drowned his answer as they started to chat about the other world or her. She walked over to Roald's table. "Where were you, you would have been very useful now I have to model my clothes, and you know how much I don't like that." "Of course we know, but you're going to be asked to do a lot of things you don't like, but you'll still have to do them. Why not start now." She slapped him upside the head. "Ow" he said. "Oh come on it couldn't have hurt that bad" said one of the new guys " I mean she's just a girl with no fighting skills." Daine was about to hop to her feet and challenge him but Roald held her down. "You might want to reconsider what you just said or else you'll never be able to live at the palace." All of the guy's chuckled. Since Roald wasn't holding her mouth shut she spoke up " if that's what you think of me I challenge you to a duel.' "Oh I could never challenge a lady, maybe some other day lass," She gritted her teeth and kept her mouth shut none of the royal except for her friends knew she could fight and she was planning on keeping it that way. You just wait you stupid boy saying I can't fight you'll pay for that. She heard a yell from across the hall. It was Daniel and his friends motioning for her. Since she had promised she had to go. She strode over to him he grabbed her arm and led her out into the hallway. She turned back to look at Roald and mouthed the words 'save me'. He laughed and went back to his meal. Well she said it's my own fault. Now she had to spend the rest of the night modeling for guys who only liked her for her looks. Oh goodie can't think of anything else I would rather be doing. Oh well I can't do anything about it now. ~
