A New Riddle
Chapter 17
The Dark Mark is seen!!
Sara stared at Draco. He was unconscious; yet she was awake and, well, awake. She didn't feel tired anymore. When Draco had fixed her up, he must have given her more energy to go with it. She leaned over him and shook him gently. Noticing that he wasn't going to move, she gave up.
"What did you do to him?" Pansy demanded and ran over to Draco's fallen body. She shook him harder then what Sara had done and cried out when her attempts proved fruitless.
"You can have him for all I care. He's sticking around for my father." Sara chuckled, getting up.
"What?" Millicent asked. "I pounded you so hard you couldn't move!"
"One, it's pound, two, I could move, you were just so heavy that you had me pinned and third, Malfoy healed me, and Sakura and Eriol, this has nothing to do with a link or anything like that. He probably has those powers and only uses them when it's needed." Sara walked away, feeling absolutely refreshed. She now was much stronger then before. She stretched lazily and looked out the closest window, feeling a black presence. Sara noticed that Sakura, Syaoran, Eriol and Tomoyo each sensed it, too. She saw a black figure watching her. He had long silver hair that reached his lower thigh with a tinge of blue. His piercing, yet handsome eyes were black and very much like cats' eyes and were fixated on her. He had big black wings sprouting from his back and he was wearing black robes that were identical to Yue's and he was staring, without blinking, at Sara, his Mistress. "Jintaro." Sara said quietly.
Tomoyo quickly joined her by the window and Jintaro bowed instantly, noticing that she was the reincarnate of Ayane Tale. He floated through the open window, seeing as the Li Castle windows had no glass except for the bedrooms and that, and kissed Tomoyo's hand lightly.
"My Mistress, it is good to see you again. Manaturs said you were most likely going to be reincarnated but I did not believe him. How do you fair? I hope you are well." He said, then looked over at Pansy and snarled. He flew over to her quickly and backhanded her quickly on the face. "How dare you order her," he started, glaring at Millicent while trying to ignore Pansy's cries, "to attack my new mistress? She cannot help it if she and Draco have a special bond, that no horse faced little girl can break. They are bound together for eternity, no matter what."
"You could have stopped at the horse faced little girl part." Sara blushed. She could see out of the corner of her eye Eriol smirking and Sakura dance around on the spot.
"Sorry, now, Sara, you know where they have gone, right?"
"The cards?" she asked quietly, knowing that Sakura and Kayne would freak that her cards were missing.
"Yes."
"Yeah. Dad decided to take them for a while."
"Do you know who helped him?"
"Malfoy, probably. He was with me when
we were attacked."
"It's a green thing with little beady eyes."
"Mana." Sara groaned under her breath.
"Yes."
"I am going to delight in ripping him bit from bit."
"Hello, mind informing us on what Mana did?" Kayne asked.
"No."
"Please. We'll get them back, somewhat less violently." Sakura said carefully.
"You can't. My father has them."
"Your father? Since when did your father do anything that has something to do with you?" Pansy laughed, though she wanted to die. Her cheek hurt so much from Jintaro's slap.
"Shut up already." Meilin drawled out in a bored tone. There was a moan from the ground and everyone turned to see Draco waking up a little bit.
"Draco! Oh, you're alive!" Pansy cried and ran over to him, enveloping him in her arms, only to be pushed away.
"No thanks to you." He groaned but looked up at Sara. She blushed furiously, remembering Jintaro's word before looking down at her feet and nodding her head. "Are you alright, Sara?"
"Whatever." Sara said quietly.
Draco's eyes swept across everyone and landed on Jintaro.
"W-what's he doing here?" he stuttered.
"Now I remember where I've seen you. You were that little kid who was spying on my mistress with that little brat." Jintaro said in a humoured tone, pointing to Pansy.
"He's my Guardian." Sara said, still in her quiet voice.
"Guardian?"
"It has something to do with the things that my father took from me."
"Oh."
During their conversation, Sara did not look up from the ground once, which totally confused Draco, Sakura, Syaoran, Eriol, Tomoyo, Harry and Kayne stared, wondering how Jintaro was linked to Sara's father (They don't know that Voldemort has the cards yet. They think it's just because Jintaro's more active) and Pansy, Millicent, Blaise, Ron and Hermione just stared, not quite sure of anything that was going on.
"What are you doing here,
anyway?" Sara asked Jintaro, looking up from the floor.
"I know how you just seem to attract
anything that's dark and most probably kill you, so I followed you here. Your
father has been watching you everyday, hell, he's probably watching us all now
and he probably has his ratty little friend watching us too from a close range."
Jintaro glared at two little eyes that he had seen from the corner of his eye.
He walked over to it before Peter could scamper away and picked him up by his
tail. "Now, Harry, do you recognise this rat?" Jintaro walked back to the group
and showed Harry the rodent. Peter started to squirm, trying to make sure that
Harry couldn't see his paw. "Keep still!" Jintaro roared. His hand glowed and
Peter was stuck. "Good rat. Now, Harry?"
Harry examined the rat until he started to laugh.
"Hello, Peter Pettigrew. Good to see you again." he laughed.
"WHAT? Peter Pettigrew?" Hermione asked and she and Ron ran up to Harry to see.
"Now, I know that this little rat was the one who put my Mistress under a sleeping spell. Might I punish him, Mistress?" Jintaro asked.
"Sure, whatever." Sara said with a wave of her hand.
Before she knew it, there was a loud rats' squeal and when she looked at the rat, she saw that it now had a long dagger through its head. Jintaro dropped the rat and it turned into a small, shrived man, with a long dagger though his head.
All the girls, minus Sara, screamed and the boys looked away from the sight.
"What, Jintaro, what did you do?" Sara asked, looking at the dead body in front of her. She had told Jintaro to do it. This was all her fault.
"I punished him." Jintaro said simply. "Just like you told…"
"This isn't my fault. Don't you dare blame this on me!"
"Sara, it wasn't you who killed him." Kayne spoke up. But that wasn't enough. Before anyone could say anything, Sara had sprinted from sight. Now that she had her strength back, she was faster then ever, even without Dash.
Did she do it again? Was she the reason that someone was dead? Are the nightmares going to return?
Sara couldn't concentrate. She had no idea where she was. It was getting late, but it was only just morning. What was going on? Had she really ran that far? Sara thought that she couldn't possibly be in the Li premises. She was in some sort of forest. Some sort of very thick forest.
"What is a little girl doing all the way out here?" she heard a cruel voice though it sounded as if it was everywhere. "What is Sara Riddle doing all the way out here? These times are dangerous, much like when you were born. You were so easy to find. You were always using your magic. You made your parents afraid. They were both very afraid. And now, you've made everyone back at the Li Castle afraid. You've run off, while your daddy is after you. Think about Kayne. She's so scared. She doesn't want you to die. Ooh, death. Poor Peter is dead now, all because of y…"
"Shut up! You don't know anything!" Sara yelled at the voice. "That was Jintaro. Not me!"
"And the little girl doesn't cry? Why don't you cry? Are you too strong?"
"I told you to shut up!"
"Are you going to cry?"
"Stop it!" Sara cried out, desperately wanting to stop everything. Then black.
~*~
Everyone was running around the castle, looking for Sara. She had been gone for over six hours. It was dark getting dark outside, not even the professors would go out and supervise.
"Can't you sense her or anything?" Kayne asked Sakura as they ran past the lake they all played in when they were in Herbology. Kayne was having a hard time, keeping up with Sakura and Syaoran, as they were both very strong runners. Tomoyo and Draco were having trouble, too.
Meilin, Naoko, Eriol, Harry and Ron and were all running together in the opposite direction and Nakuru, Feimei, Sheifa, Fumie and Fuutie were all looking around the Li Castle stables and other little hiding holes.
"I'm sorry, no. She's too far away. I did sense it get stronger for a few seconds before it died out again." Sakura explained.
"Can't we follow that?"
"Eriol's going that way."
~*~
Eyes looked over the tall trees, searching for a young brown haired girl. Jintaro wasn't afraid of meeting up with Voldemort, Ayane was much stronger than he, and therefore Jintaro's powers were far beyond his and were immune to any attacks.
And then he saw it. He saw a young girl under a black cloak.
Sara.
He flew down instantly and saw that Sara was still alive. She had cuts on her face from trees and shrubs, but nothing serious. He put his hands out in front of him, directly over Sara and they started to glow. Sara's entire cuts disappeared, leaving her injury free. Gently picking her up, he wrapped his wings in front of him so they could be used as a blanket for Sara and started to walk back to the castle, keeping a constant eye on the trees around them. The thing about walking was that it was so slow.
As he was walking, Jintaro looked down at the girl asleep in his arms. Even when she was asleep, she had her constant scowl of disapproval. For this, he could blame two things: her father and the darkness of the Ayane Cards. It wasn't fair. Why had the cards chosen someone who was suffering like Sara was? Even though they were dark, they craved the happiness that Ayane gave them, and that happiness was something that Sara couldn't give them, for she did not have it herself. She didn't realise that she didn't need a father to be able to be happy, yet that was the reason for her being so strict and so distant from everyone. She wouldn't let anyone into her life. Everyone that had meant something to her ended up hurt-or dead. She thought she had proved that when she saw Kayne's future. Sara gave Kayne Host's life to her, and Sara will take it from her, a new type of guilt would rush over her everytime she thought of it. Sure, she was the reason for Peter Pettigrew's death, but he wasn't a friend. Is that what Ginny was, a friend? She hoped not. Sara's last friend has no memory of her whatsoever. It was sad to think that a good friend was reduced to a memory that asked if she knew you everytime you saw her. That was what Sara was going through.
"Sara!" Jintaro looked up to see Kayne running forward with Sakura's group behind her. "Where did you find her? Is she alright?"
"Yes, she's just a bit shaken up. I think she ran into family." Jintaro explained, handing the light girl to Draco.
"Did you see him anywhere?" he asked.
"Is that all you care about? The stupid Death Eaters?" Kayne yelled. "Sara could have been seriously hurt."
"Ju-just let her know that you're her friends, right?" Jintaro asked, stopping the bickering two.
"What do you mean?" Tomoyo asked.
"My lady, she needs that friendship to give the cards the happiness that you gave to them. They still crave for it."
"Can you please explain? What are these cards and how do they want happiness?" Ron asked from behind Kayne and Draco. "And since when do we run around the school grounds with him?"
"Shut up, Weasly." Draco sneered and walked passed him to get back to the castle, where everyone else were having their dinner.
~*~
Just as Draco was walking past the cherry blossom tree in the front garden, Sara started to move around in his arms, making him put her down. When he sat her down, she started to cry, her nightmare becoming too real to manage.
She saw a family, a mother, a father and a baby boy. The father was the first to die, after he had begged to leave his wife and son out of it, she heard the laughter of the murderer, and then she saw the way up the stairs to the wife and baby boy. She held him, begging that he didn't touch the boy. She called him Harry. There was a bright green light, followed by a scream, and then she saw the little boy smiling at the man who had made him an orphan.
"Just like my baby girl smiles." Sara heard the man mutter.
'It's my father, and this is him killing Harry's family.' Sara thought.
"No! Stop this now! No! You'll never see your baby girl smile again!" Sara cried out, but she couldn't be heard. She saw a green light again, but this time she heard the man scream. She tried to block out everything. She tried to make it so she couldn't see him, but she didn't have eyelids. She had to watch everything. Voldemort's body disintegrated to nothing.
"Shh, it's just a dream." She heard someone coo. She felt as if she was being rocked back and forward. "Come on, wake up. It's just a dream."
Sara's eyes opened and she almost instantly sat up from the cold bricks around the tree. She looked around and saw Draco, who was looking back down at her with a mixture of fear and worry in his eyes. Out of instinct, Sara rushed forward and clung to his neck in a hug.
"I saw it, I saw Harry's parents die, I saw my dad, they begged him to let him live, and it was horrible." Sara sobbed into the crook of his neck. "I saw everything, even dad's body split up."
Draco's face had a look of shock on it as he heard Sara cry. He reluctantly put a hand on her back and started to rub up and down it while his other hand went up to her head and played in her hair.
"KAWAII!!" Sakura, Tomoyo, Naoko, Meilin, Nakuru, Sheifa, Fuutie, Feimei and Fumie all screamed upon seeing the two. Kayne giggled, Harry, Ron and Eriol snickered and Jintaro took a defensive stance.
"You owe me three Knuts." Eriol chuckled to Harry. Harry pulled out three bronze coins from his coat pocket, the remainders from the train trip there and put them into Eriol's open hand. "Thank you." Eriol chuckled again.
And then, as if something had bitten her, Sara pulled back from Draco, quickly wiping the tears from her eyes and looked over at everyone with hatred.
"What do you think you're doing? Stop staring!" Sara yelled. She pushed herself away from Draco and left for the castle.
"What is wrong with her?" Ron muttered.
"Nothing is wrong with MY Mistress! If I ever hear you insult her again, I will rip you limb from limb in the most excruciating way I can think of!" Jintaro yelled, getting right into Ron's face, making him cower slightly.
"Wimp." Kayne muttered as she passed him with Sakura, but then lowered her voice so only Sakura could hear. "I can't believe that I actually looked up to him."
"Don't worry. He isn't used to the behaviour of an angry teenage girl. I don't think Hermione has a temper like Sara's." Sakura pointed out.
"True."
~*~
"Are you alright?" McGonagall fussed after seeing Sara walk in through the door. "Did-did you run into You-Know-Who?"
"I don't know, just, don't ask me anymore." Sara said quietly. She was still going through all the possibilities in her head.
'Who was that, anyway?'
~*~
Sakura lay in her little bed, wondering.
'Why is everyone afraid of this guy anyway? Why didn't Kaho or someone stop him all those years ago? And I'm sure that Albus could have defeated him, too. Why don't they do anything? What did Ginny mean about Malfoy only caring about Death Eaters? What are the Death Eaters? I wish I could understand at least half of this. And what's up with Sara. She was so distressed when she got back to the castle. What happened to her? Maybe she did run into her dad. Maybe he wants to kill her or just wants to make her paranoid. And what did Jintaro mean by us having to show our friendship? Sara knows that we're her friends, doesn't she?
'Eriol must be wrong about this link between Syaoran and me. There is no way that we'd be able to have something like that. It's been so many years since we've seen each other. He's probably gotten over me by now. He'd have to. Why me? Life and love is so complicated.' Sakura thought. She didn't know that Syaoran was thinking the same thing.
~*~
Harry was dreaming in his sleep. He saw everyone who was supposed to be watching the students, and all the students, suddenly fall asleep and then the doors open. And then, and then he saw Lucius Malfoy walking into the room. He looked around the room for a little while and started to walk towards Harry. Then, as if he remembered something, he turned to a group of Slytherin girls and picked up Pansy from the group. He watched as Lucius disappeared out of the doors, but from behind them, he saw a flash a green light.
He sat up quickly, bumping Ron, who woke up as he did.
"What's wrong?" he whispered. Harry's hand flew to his forehead.
"It's Pansy, Malfoy took her and there was a green light. I dreamt it."
"Well, we've all dreamt of killing Pansy, I'm sure of it. Just go back to sleep."
"Okay." Harry said and crawled back under his blankets. He had no idea what he would see the next morning.
~*~
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Sara, Draco, Kayne, Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Eriol, Meilin and Naoko, along with the rest of the Hogwarts students, besides one, all awoke to a scream. There, on the roof was a picture of a large skull with a long snake protruding from the mouth.
"The Dark Mark!" a few people whispered.
"I told you so." Harry muttered to Ron, though this wasn't the time for any joke.
"It's Pansy! She's missing!" Millicent screamed.
"Calm down, Millicent." Sakura said, walking over to her. "We'll find her."
"But Potter's the only one who's ever survived You-Know-Who! Pansy's a pure blood, too! She has no reason for being taken!" another Slytherin girl cried.
"It's because of me, isn't it?" Sara asked Kayne, who was next to her, though she was barely audible. "It's because Pansy got Millicent to attack me. Dad's just getting her back for getting his daughter."
"It
isn't your fault…"
"Another person is dead because of me!"
"We don't know if she's dead or not. Mum told me that sometimes he would hurt them or something like that. Maybe that's all that he's done to Pansy." Kayne suggested, though she was lying. She watched as Sara got up and walked to the dinning room doors.
"I suggest that you don't, Sara." McGonagall was heard from behind her.
"He wouldn't kill his own daughter. I have no reason to not see him." Sara said quietly. Tomoyo and Sakura, who were done trying to convince Millicent that everything was all right, ran up to Sara.
"You're weak right now. I've noticed that you're getting very tired. I don't know if this is because Jintaro's getting more active or not…" Sakura started.
"You don't have your cards anymore, don't you?" Tomoyo asked. "That's why Jintaro's been a bit off colour and why you've needed more sleep. You're giving out more power. If this keeps up, you'll be drawing energy from your life energy instead. That'll kill you! You need to stop being so active or else you'll die!"
"Well, unlike you, if I were to die, many people would be a lot more happy, so I don't see why you insist on stopping me from seeing my father. I really don't give a damn if I die or not. I'll just be out of this hell hole and into another." Sara said and opened the door, only to shut them again at the sight. Pansy lay dead on the floor, her eyes were still open, and nothing seemed out of place. Her hair was still in the same way as she had put it up that night. She wasn't bleeding or anything. It was the same Unforgivable Curse that had killed many others. Sara dropped to her knees where she buried her head in her hands, muttering about that being the third.
"Sara, are you okay?" Sakura asked. Sara hadn't opened the doors far enough for them to see.
"She's
there, she's dead." Sara murmured. "Another one."
"What?" McGonagall asked, opening the
doors. She rushed forward to check on the dead body, to see if Pansy was really
alive, but she was dead. "Oh, oh my goodness." She whispered. "A student, dead.
Tomoyo, can you call for Professor Dumbledore?"
"Yes, ma'am." Tomoyo said and ran to Dumbledore's office.
"What's wrong?" some student asked.
"Yeah, what happened?" another said.
They weren't ready to know yet. McGonagall thought. There was no way.
She heard someone get up from his or her bed and walk over to them.
"Get back. I don't want any student further then where you're standing." McGonagall demanded, turning around to face the child, or in his case, teen. "Syaoran, can you get your mother for me?"
"Sure." Syaoran nodded and walked to his mother's bedroom.
Without any warning, Sara took off and crawled up on her blankets.
"Sara."
Sakura mumbled and ran over to her. She wrapped an arm around her and Sara
involuntarily flinched. "This isn't your fault. She attacked you. You can't
blame yourself."
"What happened?" Draco asked, coming up
to them. He sounded somewhat nicer than usual.
"It's Pansy, she's dead." Sakura said
quietly. "Sara thinks it's because of her."
"It isn't. She attacked you so it was
her own fault."
"Malfoy, I think we should talk." Harry said, standing up. He roughly grabbed Draco by the arm and led him to the staircase.
"What do you think you're doing?" Draco demanded once they were out of audible range.
"Last night, I dreamt that it was your father who came in and took Pansy…"
"My father is back in England. He sent me a letter not too long ago. There is no way that he would come here just to kill off these students. He had no reason to touch Pansy."
"Unless he was protecting Sara under Voldemort's orders, like you are. I saw your father there last term, he's still a loyal Death Eater…"
"It's best that he's on the winning side."
"And what makes you so sure that Voldemort will win this time?"
"He has the Sara Cards, therefore he has Sara. She is far stronger than Sakura, add Voldemort himself and the other Death Eaters and you have an invincible panel."
"You make it sound like a game."
"Isn't that what life is? If you're a good player, you're successful in life. If you're a weak player like Pansy and Pettigrew then you're off the team and out of the game forever. If you're lucky, you'll have a strong team with people who'll look after you. If you're lucky then you'll have a team of Pure-Bloods."
"You are as bad as Voldemort himself." Harry snapped quietly. Draco left, with a prominent smirk and walked back to Sara.
"That's what I intended." Draco shot back at him from the distance.
Harry soon followed and did the one thing that he had wanted to and punched Draco in the face, sending him back a few steps. Once Draco recovered, he tackled Harry to the ground in a fury of punches and kicks.
"What the…Harry! Stop it now!" Kayne screamed, along with McGonagall, as they watched the two boys fight. She stepped over to them and pulled on Harry's, who currently had the advantage over Draco for he had him pinned to the ground, while punching him in the stomach, cloak, only to be thrown back by Harry trying to shake her off. Harry continued his assault and punched Draco in the mouth, making his bottom lip bleed. Sara's whose hands were still covering her face, felt blood trickle onto the palms of her hands. She was feeling the effects of the link she shared with Draco, as he did when she was fighting. Draco punched Harry back in the face, shattering his glasses and everyone heard a shriek from Kayne behind them. Her face was bleeding exactly where Harry was.
Just then, Tomoyo ran into the room with Dumbledore, who was angered by the sight in front of him. He bellowed out in a deep voice, telling them to stop, though nothing helped. The two boys were finally getting what each thought the other deserved.
Ayane hated seeing people fight. She hated seeing people get hurt. Tomoyo's eyes trailed from the fight between the two boys and their linked partners. Upon seeing the damaged sustained to the girls, she screamed and the room was suddenly filled with a purple light, the same shade as Tomoyo's and Ayane's aura, and the boys split apart as if two large invisible hands had picked them up. There was too much violence that day.
"Now, in order for me to let you down, you must promise not to go at each other's throats." Tomoyo said in a voice that didn't sound anything like Tomoyo's sweet and innocent voice.
"Ayane." Eriol whispered. He clearly remembered that voice.
Harry nodded to what Ayane said, though it was rather reluctantly, but he had to, considering the amount of blood that was rushing to his head. Ayane's powers had put him upside down and Draco leaning on his side. Draco, too, nodded reluctantly.
"What is going on here?" Yelan yelled from next to Syaoran. They had both just entered the room to see two fifteen-year-old boys floating in the air, both of which were bloodied and bruised. She glanced over to Tomoyo, who was glowing a deep purple and concentrating on the boys. "Tomoyo," she whispered. Ayane let the two boys down before the purple glow started to disappear. When they reached the ground, Harry rushed over to Kayne to see if she was okay from when he hit her. He saw all the cuts on her face and moaned as if her cuts were his own, but then again, they were.
"What happened?" he asked quietly. Kayne shook her head, not able to explain anything, though the thought of a link came to mind.
"I'm not sure." Kayne said, absently brushing her navy blue hair out of the way of her eyes. "Are you okay?"
"Just a little blind." Harry laughed. Kayne got out her wand from her bag that was next to her. She put it up against his broken glasses.
"Repairo." She stated simply. The glass formed again and the frame was no longer bent. He looked at her in astonishment over how much she had learnt. "When you live in a house with four teenage boys, you learn quickly how to mend things."
"I guess."
"Well, Professor McGonagall, why did you call me out her in the middle of the night? I'm sure it wasn't over this little fight between these two boys." Dumbledore said.
"It's Pansy…" Syaoran started, but was stopped. Dumbledore had noticed the sign on the ceiling.
"Is she all right?" he asked, hurriedly.
"Um," Sakura started. "She's,"
"Dead." Sara whispered, barely audible. A wave of panic ran through the students, even Eriol was a bit shocked, and most of them started to scream and hang on to one another.
"Silence!" Dumbledore yelled and the school shut up. "We will not fear Voldemort. He is not going to kill any more students."
"We have the best pupils that Hogwarts have ever seen join us this year. Most of these new fifth year students can get rid of him with a single breath." Yelan stated.
"So, I
suggest that you all go back to sleep. You are safe. We will stay up and watch
you all." Dumbledore announced. Everyone got into their beds, except all the
new fifth years, Harry, Kayne, Draco and Millicent, who was blubbering over her
friend.
Harry put a hand on Kayne's cheek, like how Draco had done to Sara, as he
inspected her wounds. He felt the same power rushing through him as Draco did
and the bright light shot out of his hand. Kayne felt warm as Harry used the
power through their link to heal her. With that done, he quickly fell asleep.
"Whoa," was all Ron could say as he watched his bestfriend do something that was far beyond his own abilities.
"He is definitely keeping something from us." Hermione said and crawled under her own blankets.
"Yeah." Ron agreed and went under his own blanket.
There was another bright light from the other side of the room and Sara collapsed after healing Draco.
"Something is definitely different with those new year fives." Ron groaned.
~*~
Friday came much to soon. People needed more time to get over Pansy's death before the ball. But, the day was here and her name had been taken out of the hats. Class by class, the male Hogwarts students picked out a name. The Gryffindor and Slytherin fifth years were in Divination, their class to make up for the 'no Care of Magical Creatures' rule. Since this was just a class to make up for another class, Professor Trelawny though they'd continue on with the blood and white roses lesson. She had later explained that this way of seeing the past and future was called 'White Rosas'.
"Wow." Sakura whispered, looking up at Harry's cloud. He was pushing a small child on a swing set. This young boy had ruffled jet-black hair and green eyes. A red haired woman walked into the scene, completely confusing everyone.
"Who is that?" someone whispered.
"Kayne, it's…" Sakura started before she looked over at the blushing Ginny. The smoke disappeared; signalling that too much had already been seen.
"Mr. Malfoy, if you may," Trelawny asked. Draco stood and made his way to the front of the class, purposely hitting Harry as he walked past. Draco sat on the pouf and cut himself on the back of his hand and let the blood drip into the bowl. The white roses turned a deep red, as did the cloud that lifted from it.
"Shawa, where going?" asked a small Draco before any picture came onto the cloud.
"I
dunno." Sara giggled. When the picture finally showed, Sara was floating
towards the closed door of the Malfoy residence. It opened suddenly and Sara
fell. She glared at the man who walked through, after pushing her long bangs
behind her ears. Even at her young age, she felt something evil within Lucius;
it was just like her own father.
"Sara, Draco," Lucius said, walking
through the door. He bent down and grabbed each of their hands before walking
back further. He didn't look too good. He was paler then ever and a look of
worry was painted across his face. "Narcissa, where are you?"
"Mr. Goyle just popped in. He told me everything. Are you okay?" a blonde, tall and slim woman asked. "Are they suspecting you?"
"Yes. And they want Sara, too. I've told them to put her in some Muggle orphanage with the cards." (Remember the first chapter?)
"Huh?" Sara asked, looking up. He had said her name, so she wanted to be a part of this conversation.
"Who want Shawa?" Draco asked on Lucius's other arm.
"Never mind."
"No one take my Shawa." Draco said and let go of Lucius's hand and walked over to Sara and grabbed hers.
"KAWAII!!!" Sakura and Kayne screamed at the same time. They were starting to understand each other far too well. Older Sara groaned, with a great amount of blush appearing all over her cheeks. She almost fell asleep on her pouf, but was jolted awake by yelling.
"You can't put her into a Muggle orphanage! Think of what Tom and Amy would want for her!" Narcissa yelled.
"I have."
"Mummy and daddy fighting." Draco muttered.
"Dako." Sara cooed and hugged the little boy.
Ron cracked up laughing, bringing everyone who was watching back into reality. Then the cloud disappeared.
"Thankyou." Sara muttered, not knowing if she could take anymore. But then she realised something. "Your dad put me in that hell?" she screeched at Draco.
"Well, he, don't blame me." Draco stuttered.
"Well then, Ms. Riddle, why don't we see what you have in store for us this time." Trelawny said.
"Again?" Sara moaned.
"Yes. We'll probably see your future this time."
"Fine." Sara groaned and picked up a clean knife. She cut her a small line down her arm, due to the fact that she was yet again wearing a small sleeveless top, and let her blood drip into the new bowl with fresh white roses with their thorns still intact. The cloud was yet again a lime green in colour and when things took shape on it, hardly anyone could believe their eyes. It was an older Sara in proper witch clothes. She was wearing a big long black cloak that reached the ground.
"Hey, you know, I can remember seeing this when I was in year five, so I know just what to say." The older Sara said. "Now, before anything else is said, I want you to smile. You're always frowning, and trust me, I know. Once you get out of Hogwarts, your face is going to kill. Try a different look, and I don't mean cut your hair or anything. It's just how your husband likes it."
"Do we know him?" Kayne asked from behind the younger Sara.
"I'm
going to your wedding this weekend! It's you and, well, I can't exactly tell
you, but I'm sure you know. And yes, we know both my husband and your fiancée."
"That's how I turn out?" younger Sara
asked.
"Somebody shoot me." Older Sara
finished. "I've told you I've seen this before. Guess what, we have a son! He
looks so much like his father with really light brown; I mean it is really
pale. Just to tell you, his grandfather is going to be coming around pretty
soon and when he does, two people die. Himself and, well, I can't exactly tell
you because that'll be telling too much of someone's future, but that someone
is in the room now, so it isn't Tomoyo, because that's what I thought as soon
as I heard this ten years ago. This person gets reborn though. I never did
quite figure out how, but it's two later. And when your father dies, he doesn't
do that 'I'm back to get Harry Potter' thing again. He's dead for real. No
more."
"Okay, did I tell myself that when you
were my age because you just told every damn Slytherin and Gryffindor that
Voldemort is our dad?" Sara yelled. It didn't come as a surprise for half of
them had figured it out when older Sara told them.
"Well, no…"
"So how long did it take for everyone to find out in your time?"
"Everyone was told when we were in our last year when Ronald
Weasly successfully sent a letter to Cornelius Fudge and he stormed into the Li
Castle, demanding that you were given to him. Dumbledore lost his position as
Headmaster for keeping us a secret and we barely escaped the Dementors Kiss.
I'm now hiding out with a three-year-old son and my husband. It was a small
wedding, but Kayne, Harry, what a huge surprise, my husband had a huge
fit about that, Sakura, Syaoran, who were married at the time and Sakura was
pregnant, Tomoyo and Eriol, who were currently seeing other people, though are
now married, Meilin and her husband, and Naoko were invited. We didn't like
Hermione or Ron, no offence, and we still don't. Hermione wrote part of Ron's
letter."
"No Tamara Lain?"
"Would you believe she's a witch?"
"Well, yeah."
"I don't mean like that. I mean like spell casting, daddy's follower,"
"Oh. That's why we were sent off there."
"You
can't blame Lucius for that."
"Yes I can."
"No you can't."
"Mama!" a little voice said. A small figure ran onto the screen and little awes could be heard from some of the girls.
"Hey
little dude." Older Sara laughed. "Look, that's me when I was smaller."
"Hello. I'm Sean Ma…" Sean started
before he felt a hand clap over his mouth.
"Okay, daddy taught you too much. When we talk to me when I'm smaller, you never tell her your last name."
"But dada said that was the polite way to introduce yourself."
"Sean, what's your last name?" younger Sara asked.
"Don't you dare." Older Sara glared.
"I did."
"Mal…"
"Lalalalalalalalala!" older Sara bounced around so his words weren't heard. The picture slowly faded away.
"Mal, Mal, who do we… KAWAII!!!" Sakura screamed, looking at Draco.
"So your dad is You-Know-Who?" a Gryffindor asked. Sara silently nodded.
"Cool." A Slytherin smirked.
"Yeah." Another agreed.
"He's going to kill someone." Hermione said quietly. "Another person."
"But they're going to be brought back." Kayne said.
"And he dies for real. I wonder who does it." Ron agreed. "A-and Sara, I wasn't planning on writing that letter. Fred and George suggested it…"
"You're just saying that because you don't want Dumbledore to go." Draco snapped.
"You didn't seem too happy when you found out that Voldemort dies pretty soon, either." Harry sneered.
"I bet you anything that it's Harry that kills him." Lavender piped up.
"Nah. I think it's gonna be Sakura." Seamus Finnigan said.
"Who's going to die?" Syaoran asked.
"Hopefully Potter." A Slytherin snickered. "She said it was someone in this room."
"He didn't like Muggles, so it's probably a Mudblood." Draco sniggered. "It's probably going to be Granger. Not that she'd be missed too much."
"It could always be you." Hermione snapped. "Another Slytherin gone."
"Ms Granger! What a crude thing to say! I did not expect you to say anything like that!" a voice screeched from the door. Everyone turned to see McGonagall standing in the doorframe with a look of absolute shock on her face. "That will be twenty points from Gryffindor! Now, it is the Gryffindor and Slytherins fifth year choice. Everyone is to go to the dinning hall to see who will be picked."
~*****~
I killed Wormtail and Pansy! Boy, I've wanted to do that since the fourth book.
I hope everyone is still interested with this story. I've been trying really hard. I'm writing a sequel and a prequel about how Sara was before she went to Hogwarts and how she fought the Ayane Cards. There's also going to be some really cute chibi Sara/Draco moments. The sequel starts after two years since ______________ dies. Like Sara said, that person is reborn after two years time. This story is almost over.
