Happy new Year to all those who celebrate it on the first on January. Sorry
that I haven't updated for a while but I couldn't use my pc.
CHAPTER 16
Iri stopped walking for a few second to admire the castle and wait for Chorus who was back in the line: "Hey Blue, after we now the password and the entrance to the common room, lets sneak back to the great hall to hear what Mr. Dumbledore has to say."
"WHAT? That's breaking the rules!" Chorus replied looking really insulted: "And don't you think that the Headmaster has finished what he has to say when we get back to the hall?"
"Of course not. He has to wait for the prefects that walked to the common rooms with us, remember?"
"Oh Yeah, all right let's do it. But we have to be careful! I don't want to get into trouble the first day here."
"Sure thing." Iri said grinning.
After they had seen the entrance of the common room and heard the password: "bookworm" they silently made their exit and made their way back to the great hall managing to find a spot well hidden but still being able to hear what was going on.
A Few minutes later the prefect of the houses returned and took their places at their house tables and Dumbledore stood up again: "Now that everybody has returned I would like to start with the most important matter, Voldemort's return." Everybody flinched at hearing his name except for Dumbledore, Harry and Aurora.
In her hiding place Iri could hear Chorus gasp: "What wrong Blue?"
"He said you-know-who's name."
"You-know-Who? Oh, you mean Voldemort?"
"Sssshhhhhh, don't say his name."
"Why? It's just a name, now stop talking, I want to listen."
Dumbledore had started speaking again: "Hogwart will not be undefended though. We have added extra security measures to the castle, first to enter the castle using any legitimate entrance requires you to reveal your face and say your name and house. Second, the grounds will be patrolled by security trolls. Third we have the Phoenix Blades, will the ones wo received the badge come to the front please."
Harry, Neville, Aurora and to everybody's surprise, Ginny Weasley stood up from the Gryffindor table. McGonagall looked at Ginny: "Miss Weasley, I remember writing in the letter that you had to put the badge on back at Kings Cross."
"Sorry Professor, I forgot."
Now from the other tables too were people starting to get up. Soon sixteen teenagers were standing in front of the table and Dumbledore started speaking again: "These are the Phoenix Blades. They will be trained in combat tactics, duelling, martial arts and weapon fighting. I want from all of you a note tomorrow telling which subject you want to drop. The schedules have been enchanted to adapt the other students roster so that you can have your lessons together. Also remember that even though you still belong to your respective houses that you cannot bear animosity to the other houses." With this he glared at the Gryffindors and Slytherins. "Hereby comes the fact that you will not assist your own house first even when another house needs your help more. I also must tell you that the prefects hold no power over you, but this isn't a reason to misbehave. At last I want to present you with these." Sixteen robes appeared on them wile the robes the had worn before lay folded on the ground. "These are spell- rune robes. The will warn you when tainted magic is done nearby and when somebody forced himself into the castle. I'll energize the robes now so that you can use them." He pulled out his wanted and aimed at Aurora's Robe but before he could cast the spell a loud high-pitched roar filled the hall, trough one off the windows a small figure came flying inside, suddenly everybody except for Ron, Aurora and Harry was putting their hands before their ears as if something extremely loud was hurting their ears.
Aurora was jumping up and down and waving her hands above her head: "ZiZi! Stop! Their good." Suddenly everybody removed their hands from their ears. Dumbledore looked at the small dragon flying circles around Aurora, Aurora looked at the Headmaster: "I'm sorry sir, but ZiZi here thought I was in danger and protected me with a psychic scream. The sound wasn't really there but you thought it was so your body reacted to the pain you thought you should have."
Dumbledore smiled at her: "I understand Miss Black. Pets can be over protective sometimes. Could you ask him if I can finish the spell?"
Even before she had asked ZiZi had already answered yes. A few minutes later every Phoenix Blade robe was glowing and Dumbledore continued with his explanation: "During you're first combat-magic lesson, you will receive weaponry and explanation of what else is expected of you. The fourth thing you have to now is that even though the trolls are protecting the ground we have hired members of The Circle of the Magus Spellcraft, We have hired, four members of the Blazing Order, two Thunderers, two Frozen Tides and two of the society of the soothing light. We also have four Druidicar patrolling the forest but since student don't get in there you won't see them a lot. This group will arrive next Monday during breakfast." He stopped for a second thinking about something before he continued: "That was it, have a good year everybody." And with that everybody started making their way out of the great hall chattering about next Monday and the weird little dragon and how it had attacked them with some weird mental attack.
"Great, just great. Now they actually send her into danger! This will make my job much harder." Iri muttered annoyed.
Chorus looked surprised at the girl: "What are you talking about?"
"Oops, Nothing important. Let's sneak back into the common room." And with that they left the great hall thinking about what Dumbledore had said.
That's it. I know it's not a long chapter but I had a busy vacation. Next post later this week! And to answer questions I got trough e-mail, Yes Iri is special, but I gave a lot of clues how and what so you should be able to figure it out on your own.
