An Angel's Duty
Author's note: Well I hope that you all enjoyed the first chapter…so far this story is already taking a different turn than I had originally expected but hey I think it's making it a better story. Also in response to Drama81's review I already had a talk with Lenna about that one and we figured that Professor Dumbledore would have figured out a way for Charity to still complete her final year at Hogwarts while still helping the Aurors where she was needed more.
Disclaimer: Same as before I own nothing but Jammar Potter and the plot (and even that I borrowed bits from my best friend Lenna) and I only share the rest of the Angels.
Chapter Two: Friendship's Ties
"Life may be gone, and yet it must find a way to continue on."
Jammar was soon back in the Gryffindor Common Room amongst those she called family. She knew something had happened the second she stepped in through the portrait hole. The room was still obviously upset about Lenna having killed herself but Jammar could sense relief and happiness in the room as well.
Jammar stepped further into the room and could feel one person who didn't seem so happy. No instead they were quite angry. She chose to seek out this person to find out what was going on and maybe find out what had them so angry.
Walking quickly to the other side of the room Jammar found Fred sitting in the corner by himself crying.
"What's going on Fred," Jammar asked quietly as she sat down across from him.
"Our brothers have been found. They're talking with Professor Dumbledore right now and should be here in just a few minutes," Fred replied almost bitterly.
"But you're not happy about that. How come? I understand you're upset about losing Lenna," Jammar said noticing Lenna's necklace still hanging from his neck. "But that is no reason not to be happy about your brother being back safe and sound."
"It is EVERY reason to not be happy. If it weren't for them being so stupid and using those Unforgivable Curses and running off Lenna wouldn't be dead right now. She never would have joined Voldemort, and never would have been refused entry back into Hogwarts by her own father. She never would have killed herself if our brothers hadn't been so stupid and selfish only thinking of themselves," Fred nearly shouted at Jammar.
"Our brothers were NOT being selfish. They may not have been doing the smartest thing, or the right thing but they weren't being selfish. The only reason Harry went out and used the curse on Peter was because of me. If Peter had never hurt me to bring Voldemort back to life Harry never would have done something so stupid. And your brother, Ron was only looking out for Harry when he had cursed Lenna. In my opinion they are the farthest thing from being selfish, and like I said they may not have made the right choices but at least they did what they thought they had to, to protect those they care about."
"And you think that Lenna wasn't? She was trying to protect those two from a fate worse than Death!" Fred shouted. At this point the entire room went quite both from the two fighting in the corner but also as Harry and Ron walked into the room.
"Yeah well how did she think she was going to accomplish that by going and joining Voldemort's side? And she really wasn't saving them by taking the coward's way out of life, and going and killing herself. Do you really think that was the best way for her to save the two of them? Nobody makes the right choices all the time in life, and so Ron and Harry messed up big time, but so did Lenna. And like you said all she was doing was what she thought was right to save them, just like they were doing. Why can't you forgive them for that? They weren't the ones to have actually killed her, she made that decision on her own," Jammar stated her face turning red from the frustration she was feeling.
"L-L-Lenna killed herself?" Harry asked coming up behind his sister, the tears already streaming down his face.
"Because of us?" Ron said walking up to stand beside Harry, both slightly hidden behind Jammar.
"That's right she went off and killed herself because of you two. She turned to her Uncle's side when you guys ran off into the Forbidden Forest thinking that by doing that she could keep the Deatheaters from finding you guys there. She knew that if they found you that you'd be sent off to Azkaban. Lenna knew that was the worst place for you to be while Voldemort's powers are so strong as he's taken control of the Dementors. Then when her own father doubted her and wouldn't let her back into Hogwarts she killed herself. We found that out this morning. And it's because of you two that she did it," Fred said advancing upon Ron and Harry.
Jammar stepped up to Fred keeping herself in between Fred and the other two. "You will NOT touch them Fred Weasley!"
"Oh? And who's going to stop me?"
Suddenly Jammar's violet eyes flashed brightly changing to a brilliant sky blue, and her hair changed in streaks until it was all blue matching to her eyes. The black robes that she was wearing transformed themselves into a sky blue dress that flowed down to the floor with long blue flowing sleeves, as matching sky blue wings spread out from her back.
"The Angel of Love that's who!"
"What's a Purity Angel going to do? You can't hurt me it's not a part of who you are. Purity Angels are meant to keep the peace. They stand for love and justice, and are not to hurt a soul in life. You see Lenna taught me a lot about the Angels, almost as much as she knew."
"Yes I see that she has. But see the thing is I may be a Purity Angel but in the matter of keeping the peace and standing up for love and justice I have to protect those that are in danger and in need. And in this case that means Harry and Ron!" Jammar stated becoming angrier with Fred. All of the blue in her clothes, wings, eyes and hair slowly changing darker and darker with how angry she was getting. "Do you really want to be testing what I will and will not do right about now to keep these two safe?" she asked him her eyes flashing again as everything stopped changing colour at a dark navy blue.
Suddenly a bitter cold filled the room. "Life does not end when the body stops living. Friendships and ties keep the soul alive. Have faith in what lies ahead, or find a new path in the Eternal Darkness that will come," it was Lenna's voice echoing through out the room, causing most of the people in the room to look around shocked and confused.
"You know, I really wish she'd stop doing that," Jammar said rolling her eyes at the voice.
"What are you talking about?" Fred asked getting over his confusion at Jammar's statement.
"I was up
in the tower that Lenna used to visit and she started talking to me. She's been very vague with what she's been
saying she's leaving lots of riddles, just like that one."
"Well somehow her spirit is
communicating with us. Maybe we should
pay attention to her words it sounds like she's trying to give us one final
warning. See even from the afterlife
she's trying to keep us all safe. Now
I'm heading up stairs, and no one follow me.
I just want to be alone," Fred said sadly before heading up the stairs
to the boy's dorms.
~Life still lives through the shadow of the mind. Even after a love is shattered twice it lives on,~ Jammar said telepathically to Fred, causing him to turn around in shock. Jammar just smiled up at him before turning to Harry and Ron.
~Lenna taught you that," Fred replied to her.
~Sorry but no. I've been had telepathic abilities since I was real young I just don't tell many people about it. I have them because I'm an Angel. You have them because you love an Angel.~
~That is right and I will always carry that love with me.~
~You will see love prevails. You will find a way to carry on with out her.~ Jammar said before returning her mind to the conversation that Harry and Ron were having, while Fred turned and continued back up the stairs.
The next few days seemed to pass slowly for the students of Hogwarts as most of them were greatly affected by the death of Lenna Dumbledore. No one dared talk to Fred or Jammar about it, as they were closest to her. Everyone tried to find solace and comfort in those around them. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny spending most of their time together talking about what had happened, as many of the students had done breaking into a small group. Fred and Jammar though stayed mostly to themselves. Fred trying to find his own way to cope only making him fall deeper into the blackness the death had brought around him, and Jammar spending most of her time outside of classes either doing her homework or trying to figure out the secret to the tower.
It was one such night when Jammar received an owl in the girl's dorm room while she was working on her homework.
Jammar,
Meet me up in the highest tower tomorrow night at 8. I know you can find it as I've seen you head up there many times. You seem to need someone to talk to and I want to offer to be that person. I have a few things of my own that I'd like to talk to you about as well.
The note was left unsigned.

Well that's it for now. Please stay tuned for more. I hope to have the next chapter up in the next two days but no guarantees.
And please review! Like I said I get my motivation from my reviews.
