A/N: I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! I'm not sure about some of the
story lines in Sabriel about the Great Charter, but let's just supose that
Charter magic can go into every magical areas.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry just sat there, transfixed on her cat. The cat talked! But what did he expect, he was in the wizarding world, not much surprised him any more.
"How can you know anything about me! How can you tell me to just forget about Sirius, my PARENTS!" he shouts. He must control his anger.
"Because Harry, we have to! Voldemort has become a Greater Dead, stronger than a Mordicant! You cannot take his return lightly!" she said whiping her head around.
"I don't care! He killed everyone I loved, everyone! My parents and Sirius! I have nothing now!" shouted Harry, slaming his fist down.
"You still have your friends don't you?" said the cat in his calm snobbish voice.
Harry had once again, forgot about his dedicated and loyal friends. He hadn't lost everything, but they had lost him. He was not worthy of their friendship. He never listened to them, he involved them in all of his problems and they stook by him no matter how ignorant and arrogant he got. He took his friendship for granted, he always did.
"I...I...don't deserve them." he said pitteusly.
"But they need you Harry. You you hold them together and you protect themeven though you may not belive it, you protect them from their fears, you help them with their troubles, how little they may seem. Do not shun them." she said.
"I don't know why you accepted to do this job, their world is not a part of ours! If they have a problem with the Greater Dead, it's their problem not ours, they should train their own Necromancers!" said the cat, completely ignoring Harry.
"Mogget, I do this because I must. I sense the dead always, and it is my job to let those that stir go to rest, you know that." she said to her cat named Mogget.
"If you don't mind, why are you here?" asked Harry.
"I would have thought you could have figured it out by now. Harry I am here to protect you. There are things that hunt you that you cannot imagine, and that you magic cannot defend agianst." she said looking deep into his green eyes.
It wasn't until she said 'your magic' that he noticed the strange sybol on her forehead. it was very fait, and had just a slight glow, but it was there, hidden from distrancted eyes. It then faded back into her as if trying to hide its self from Harry.
"What is your magic then, if mine isn't suffice?" she asked, half looking at the cat expecting a cheeky remark from him, but he was silent.
"Charter Magic. I draw my power from the Great Charter, a continuous flow of the charter marks. It is a very complicated and difficult magic and can only be used by the ones babtised by the charter." she said.
"There are many-" but she was cut off by the sound of comming footseps. Mariel stood and drew her sword. The compartment door slowly slid open.
It was Ron and Hermione looking tarrified at the sight of this young woman pointing her sword at them.
"Harry?!?!" said Ron with that funny face he made when he was scared.
"It's ok Mariel, these are my friends, Ron and Hermione." said Harry lowering her sword. She sheithed it and sat back down beside her cat.
"You seem jumpy Mariel, can you sense something?" said Mogget.
The sight of the cat talking made Ron and Hermione stare but they sat down next to Harry.
"I feel something, I'm not sure if it's death though, it feels almost numbing." sais Mariel looking towards her hands.
Harry explaines everything to Ron and Hermione, even though he doesn't really understand it himself. Mariel stares at Ron, piercing him with her pale violet eyes.
They hear the sound of snickers down the hall and then the compartment door slid open with a jerk. Mariel stood up and put her hand on her sword ready to attack.
"So Potter, got a new body guard have ya? She looks like a medevil reject." said Draco Malfoy standing in the doorway with his two thugs Crabbe and Goyle. His white blonde hair glimered in the sun light.
"I am, in a way, his body guard, but I am also, in a way, yours. I am here to banish the dead, I am the Abhorsen." she said walking up to him. She was his hight, a bit taller so she glared at him right in the eye, her violet digging deep into his drain.
"I'd like you to know that I need no body guard! My father is a very-" he said but stoped when he saw her turning away, uninterested.
"I'll show you to mess with me!" he said pointing his wand at her, shooting a blue spark.
Mariel turned around and did a strange movement whith her hand and a glowing disc of light absorbed his attack.
"Do not chalenge a Charter Mage! Your magic is pitifull and is easlily deflected." she said advancing on him once more. This time she seemed to tower over him and he almost fell over if it weren't for Crabbe and Goyle.
"Now, leave my sight before I rip that tongue out of you faul mouth." she said bitterly.
Malfoy stumbled away and Mariel closed the door. They all could sense she was very powerfull, and the mark on her head shone brightly and then disapeared.
"Why didn't you just put a silence splell on him." said Mogget in reply to the recent events.
"I don't want to waste my time on pitifull creatures like him. He is an insult to my power, to the Charter. He does not deserve such a blessing." she said with bitterness in her voice. She sat back down.
It seemed that Mariel was very traditional and followed many anccient rituals. She introduced herself to everyone formaly and said that she would be there to help if they ever needed it. Mogget didn't seem to like it. Harry though it might be because where they come from an Abhorsen is a very respected person and people give their loyalty to them, not the other way around.
"You are too soft and mushy like your father. Always giving his time to others when he should have been fighting the dead and cleasing our kingdoom." said Mogget putting his soft head on her lap.
"Mogget, don't be so snide. I do what I can to help everyone, not just our kingdoom." she said stroking his head.
"Well, you can't help those people if you die in the process now can you! Do what is important first, everything else is just a minor problem on the way." said Mogget.
Harry didn't really like the way Mogget treated her. He was so demending and never had anything good to say. Harry wondered if he was her servant or her guardian.
"Be quite Mogget." she said softly, and he did.
The rest of the trip was uneventfull and they all had a bit to eat when the food cart came by. Mariel didn't eat anything and Harry wondered weather she would be at the feast or not. All she did was stare out the window and stroke Mogget.
Just before they arrived Mariel stood up and slung her oil skin bag over her back. She cliped on her sword and ajusted her bandolier.
"I'll be seeing you later then. Goodbye Harry, Ron, Hermione." she said as she steped out of the compartment, leaving them alone.
"She is very polite." sais Hermione. "She seems a bit strange though, dealing with the dead must be hard. I've heard of Necromancing, but never of an Abhorsen."
"She said she had talked to Sirius about me. I don't know, she doesn't seem right." sais Harry putting a Bertty Botts Every Flavored Bean in his mouth.
"Thats because shes dead." sais Ron. "Necromancers are all dead people that were braught back to life when they were born, thats why they can go into death."
This was astonishing! How did Ron know this! How could he know unless hes met one before, this was very strange. And like a question being awnsered Ron replied:
"She toled me. It seems that she is an expert in Occlumancy and Legemancy."
They all seemed to go silent absorbing what he had said. The train pulled up to Hogsmade station and they all loaded off.
A/N: I think that this chapter was a bit boarring, sorry _ Next chapter will be better I hope!
