Chapter 10
Esther raced into the room Lenna behind her . As she slid inside she saw nurses and docters packing things up, and her father playing with something in his hands crying. Esther looked to the bed, but her mother wasn't there.
"Dad?" She said her voice small and uprooted, "Where is she?"
"She's..." Oh Essie..." Esther ran to her father and hugged him.
"She's happy now, Ess, no more pain. She's happy." He pulled her away and wiped a tear from his crystal blue eyes. "She wanted to give you this."
He held out a sliver chain with a sliver cross on it. He put it around her neak, the chain long enough to go over her head,
"She's not really gone."
*~*~*~*~*
"Harry! Look!"
Esther smiled sleepily as Harry, Ron and Hermoine came racing down the side to greet her, Leena and the twins, 'They have a lot of spunk, even so late at night.' She thought. As the walked back the three told Esther all about the holidays and how much school works she'd have to make up from the funeral and weeks she missed. Even with all of their chatter, Esther knew they were holding back something.
'I'm far to tired to ask..' she thought with a sigh, "Look guys. I *need* to sleep. Let me hear the stories when my mind can process them."
Esther looked around her bedroom. Somehow the walls and bed coverings and pictures comforted her. She sighed and lay on the bed. Someone came in and when she spoke she knew it was Lenna. "Essie? Are you awake? I need to tell you something..." Esther didn't answer. She heard Lenna sigh and say quietly almost to herself, "You need your rest. Be ready though. They are coming."
Esther fell into sleep. Memories of the past weeks came back and haunted her,
"I have to go Esther."
Her father was leaving her at the station. "Stay with your grandfather this summer. They need Dragon Keepers in Asia. That where I'll be."
"Dad, stay... Please I need you."
Craven's eyes where far off. This man wasn't Esther's father. He had changed.
"I have to go Esther."
Esther's eyes were teary, "Daddy, please, It's me Essie! Your daughter. Don't go!"
Suddenly everything faded away. Esther suddenly wore a simple light yellow dress, that went down to about mid-calf. It had no sleeves, a square collars. However Esther wasn't cold. That's when she saw where she was. Standing in the middle of a open field backed by large purple mountains.
"Esther...."
Esther turned to see the lady, but she knew her now.
"Mum?"
Laura smiled, "Yes..." Her face saddened, "I'm sorry if I have caused you caused any pain. I had to show you those things."
Esther ran to her Mom and threw her hands around her, "Never mum... Never."
Luara hugged her daughter tightly then pulled away. "I have to show one last thing."
Silver fire separated her and her mother. Esther's necklace shown with dim glow before flashing brightly, fighting away the blackness that now surrounded Esther. Her bare feet touched earth, and only then did she notice that she had been flying. She looked around; she was in a dark woods, Snakes and rat scurried by her feet as if they could see the glow of her necklace. She sighted up ahead a green glow. She stepped ahead, just in time to see a young man get engulfed by a green glow. The sliver flames surrounded her again, but not before she heard a stuttering laugh turn into a shrill one.
Once the fire subsided again, Esther was at Hogsmade. She, Fred and George were coming out of Zonks when a green dome hit the town. The Dream-Esther stood, Her robes turning into a long elegant yellow dress, her hair turning into a soft sliver yellow, and light yellow colored wings came from her back
"Wendle stop! I know your out there!"
A cloaked form came up, and took off it's hood, "Hello sister..."
Esther stood there, stunned. Her sister, A deatheater?
Suddenly she was back in the field. Her mother stood above her asher weak knees gave away. Laura came down beside her and held Esther's hand. "Essie, please. I showed you these things because you need them."
Esther closed her eyes, "It'll all come true. Your funeral happened the same way as the dream. There is no hope."
"Esther I showed to these things so you would have hope. Some things you'll forget till you need them. Why? You are the..." Her voice faded away. Esther held her hand tighter, "Mum?"
"Wake up..."
"Mum!"
"Esther, go. Learn your fate." She kissed Esther's head, "We won't meet again, but I'll watch over you."
Esther sat up, Lenna was standing next to her bed, but she was changed, her hair was sliver white, her eyes sliver as well, and she wore a long elegant dress, "Esther, You have to get up. I have to tell you something."
Esther sat up with shock. She felt her hair. It felt shorter. She stood up and went to the mirror. It was short! She was different as well. She looked older and wiser. What happened?
"Esther there is something you have to know."
Esther turned around to face Lenna. She wore a long flowing white dress with long sleeves and a thrown back hood. She had wings.
"What-is-going-on?" Esther asked breathless.
Lenna smiled with pity. "Esther, I am the Angel of Life. I am to find the rest of the Angels. I was...told, that you were the Angel of Faith."
Esther's necklace began to glow, and Lenna came and held it. "See..."
Esther almost snatched it away before rembering that this was her aunt.
"Lenna, You are wacked. I am NOT an ANGEL!!" She yelled.
Lenna's eyes became cold, "I know that you are. Laura told me."
Esther shook her head, "How could my mom know? She wasn't even magic."
"You mom would have been the angel if it hadn't been for the accident."
Esther stopped, Lenna slowly changed back to her normal self, except for the few strands of sliver in her hair. Esther sighed, "Why are you telling me this now?"
Lenna looked down at her wrist where she always wore a bracelet. "The Dark Lord will rise, and we must help fight."
Esther sighed, "Alright..."
Lenna smiled, "So willing are you?"
"Not really, I'd fight it, but I rembered something Mum used to say: 'You can't fight who you are.'" She smiled, "I am the Angel of Faith, and I will help you. Until I die."
*~*~*~*~*~*
The Next morning Esther awoke to see that her hair had fully grown back. She stood, and look in the mirror. She was normal again. Something almost told her that she was just dreaming last night, then she saw Lenna at Breakfast. She still had sliver streaks in her hair. Esther smiled.
"Hey where's Harry? And Ron?"
Lenna looked at her plate. Fred sighed, "Harry is in the hospital room."
Esther's voice was heard throughout the school, "WHAT!?"
A hour later, Esther listened to everything that Ron, Hermoine and Harry had to say while eating sweets with the Twins and Lenna. Esther sighed and sat back, "You guys have Serious issuses." She said sadly.
"But He doesn't have the Stone and Quirell is...gone." said Harry.
Esther rembered the sceance that her mother showed her. "You-know-who-took over his mind." She said, "After he gave him a little chance. He just took over."
*~*~*~*~*~*
"How did you do on your Exams?" Esther asked Lenna. " I, strangly, passed everything. Even Potions."
Lenna laughed, "I passed as well."
Esther sighed and sat down next to The Twins, Harry, Ron and Hermoine.
"Are you guys coming to the fourth year graduation?" She asked hopeful. Harry looked at his plate. "I can't."
Esther looked confused, "Why not?"
"It's After the year is over. Right? The Dusleys won't let me."
Esther was silent.
*~*~*~*~*~*
The year was over. Esther watched as others loaded up their bags. She would stay at the school with Her Grandfather. Wendle was going to stay with the Malfoys. Esther didn't care. Or that's what she told herself. However she still hadn't forgotten what she had seen in her dream.
What Lenna told her still confused her. If she was the Angel of Faith, she hadn't been able to transform again or come in touch with any of her powers.
"Esther?" She turned, It was Ron.
"Hey Ronny.." She said smiling. "What do you want?"
Ron sighed, "Well if your sure you won't come to our house. Mum would simply die to have you, Ginny too."
She ruffled his hair, "My Aunt Sarah asked me to come to her house, She was mum's sister." Ron still looked worried, "Don't worry Ronny. I'll be okay."
As He left, Lenna came in, "I'll be staying for your graduation then I'll be at the Weaslys house for the summer, I'll be there if you need me."
Esther smiled at her Aunt. "Are you postive about this whole Angel deal?"
Lenna nodded, "Yes..."
A/N: This WHOLE Angel Idea was Lenna's. If you want to read more about it read her Fic:
Go Aunt Lenny! LOL
