~~~~~~~Chapter 2~~~~~~~~~~~
The screams that filled the Great Hall were deafening. People were fainting all over. Only very few people were simply staring in disbelief. Harry potter and co being of that small group.
After what seemed like an eternity but was really only a few seconds. Dumbledore clapped his hands and using the senorous charm cast his booming voice over the students.
"SILENCE. Prefects I need you to collect yourselves and lead your houses to the common rooms, Head of houses I have to ask you to go to your students and calm them down."
With that the prefects gathered their still shaken and stunned housemates up and ushered them out of the hall. All of them skirting around the two girls that through all of this had remained in the middle of the hall looking extremely bored with all of the theatrics.
As the students practically fled the great hall, Professor Umbridge stormed out looking very peeved.
Once the students had all left with their head of houses, Dumbledore looked at the girls. 'Please come with me." he said in a composed voice, even though it was obvious that even he was a little shaken at what had just happened.
Elektra and Keriana just rolled their eyes and gave a sarcastic remark of "yes your mighty highness." And swept out of the room before Dumbledore could even get ahead of them.
The teachers that were left all followed them. Elektra and Keriana just walked ahead of them all, knowing perfectly well where they were going. Which caused several of the teachers to have confused looks replace their shocked ones.
When they reached the Gargoyle Dumbledore went ahead of them, said the password, "Skiving Snackboxes", and led the way up into his office. Once they were inside, Dumbledore sat behind his desk and the teachers filled chairs that were scattered around the office, while Keriana and Elektra just leaned against the door looking bored.
There was deafening silence for a few moments before Dumbledore cleared his throat and gave the girls a pointed look. "Who are you?" he asked in a soft voice.
Elektra and Keriana just traded a look and rolled their eyes once again.
"Well?" He prodded gently. Elektra gave a growl of annoyance and said in a cold voice, "None of your business old man."
Several of the people in the room stared at them in amazement, while Dumbledore just gave them a searching look.
Both of them were looking aggravated and the fiery angry look that they had in their eyes when Voldemort was there was starting to return.
Elektra gave Keriana an exasperated look. "Please remind me why were stuck here." she said looking even angrier than before.
"Because Riddle is an asshole, and bonded us to the wards. Remember?" Keriana spat angrily.
"Oh ya" Elektra muttered. "We'll have to give him a proper thank you later." This sentence was followed by harsh laughter from both of them.
Ignoring the stunned looks they were receiving from everyone in the room but Dumbledore, they turned back to him and Keriana spoke.
"Unfortunately for the both of us, it looks like were stuck here for a while, so, if it's not too much of a bother, we'll need a room to stay in."
The last part of course was said with a look that plainly said that while it might not be a bother to him, it certainly was to her.
Dumbledore just gave them one more searching look before giving a sigh of defeat.
"We have several rooms that are available for guests." At the word guests, Keriana and Elektra both winced.
"Fine." Elektra said. "Any of them will do, we're not planning on staying for long."
At that, Keriana just rolled her eyes. As if on an after thought, she spoke up again.
" And warn that horrid little toad faced Umbridge to keep away from us, for her sake. We may leave your students alone, but she," Her eyes gleamed. "is an entirely different story."
They just traded evil glances and then Elektra spoke again. "So, if someone will lead us to our room, we shall leave you to your speculations and gossip.
He gave a short nod and waved his wand. A female house elf appeared with a small pop and looked expectantly at him.
"Trinta, would you please escort these two ladies to the third floor corridor and choose a room for them to stay in?"
Trinta grinned and nodded her head eagerly. "Yes sir Headmaster Dumbledore." She turned to them and said excitedly,
"please follow me miss's." and opened the door and led them out. Elektra and Keriana swept out of the room without a word and closed the door behind them none to softly.
They followed Trinta through the school until they came to the third floor corridor and then walked into the fourth room down.
Elektra turned to Trinta and said in a surprisingly soft voice. "Thank you Trinta, you can go back to the kitchens now."
Trinta nodded and disappeared with another small pop.
Keriana looked around at the deep green room before walking over to one of the beds and put her head in her hands, while Elektra picked up a vase from the mantle and threw it at the wall, where it shattered into pieces with a resounding crash.
~~~~~~Back in Dumbledore's office~~~~~~~
There were a few more moments of silence after the door slammed, before the tidal wave of questions they had all been holding in came pouring out.
"Was that REALLY You-Know-Who?" "How can he just stride in!", and "How could he have ever gotten in, or disappear!"
were just a few of them. Dumbledore just sat there with his chin resting on his folded hands waiting for them to calm down.
After a minutes of relentless ranting they finally noticed that was just sitting there with a grave look on his face waiting for them to finish.
They all stopped talking after a few more seconds in which everyone else realized what was going on and when it was finally silent Dumbledore spoke.
"I do not think that Voldemort," Everyone else in the room winced. " actually entered into the school. As to who these two mysterious ladies are, I have no idea. And until we find out who they are or they decide to talk to us, I'm afraid none of us will have any answers."
"Now," he said with a sigh. "I suggest you all go to your rooms and get some sleep, staying up all night worrying over this isn't doing anybody any good."
With that he stood up and ushered everyone out of his office, ignoring the streaming comments and questions that were once again flowing unchecked from their mouths.
As soon as everyone was gone he sat back down and started thinking about what had just happened while waiting for Minerva and Severus to come up and hear an explanation.
When they finally arrived, Dumbledore was still sitting there with his chin on his folded hands, staring into space.
Minerva and Severus sat down in a chair and waiting, now wanting to interrupt him.
When he finally looked up, they were surprised to see worry in eyes.
"I'm afraid that all I can tell you at the moment is that I have no idea what is going on." He said gravely.
They both traded surprised glances and then looked back at him. Severus finally spoke up.
"I had not been notified by anyone that this was going to take place tonight headmaster, I'm afraid I can't be of any help either. I will listen for anything that might shed some light on this at the next meeting."
"Thank you Severus." Dumbledore replied, the twinkle back in his eyes, though noticeably duller. With that they both stood up and left, leaving Dumbledore to once again stare off into space, trying to figure everything out.
