Tris sat quietly on a chair. The others were waiting for Dave and Harry to
return from wherever they where.
When Harry jumped from the stairs to the floor everyone winced, Harry, however just sat down and didn't say a thing when everybody looked at him. Dave walked down the stairs and both of them acted like nothing happened.
A tall grown-up stood up. 'Everyone's here?'
'Yes.' The other grown-up said.
'Okay, good. Harry, I'm glad you're back.'
Harry smiled and said: 'You can't get rid of me that easily, Nev, you know it.'
The guy shrugged. 'You can't have everything in life. But anyway, we have a guest.'
Tris looked up and found everyone looking at him. 'I'm Tristan, nice to meet you.' He said.
A guy with dark red hair next to him said: 'Tobias.' He snapped.
'Don't pay atenttion to him, Tris. He's just protective over us. I'm Chloe.' Tris smiled and looked at Harry, who was looking at the window.
The girl next to Chloe smiled warmly to him. 'Elena.'
Nevin rolled his eyes. 'We don't have time for this. You'll be probably staying for a while so meet them later. Now I want to hear what happened today.'
Tobias took a deep breath. 'Well, when we got there some guys from Group 014 were holding a girl and -'
'Lily.' Interrupted Tris.
'Holding Lily and an Invisible-'
'Ved.' Interrupted Tris again.
'Would you stop that!' Tobias yelled.
Tris nodded and sank further in the chair.
'It was obvious that they were at least Death Eaters, I mean, their sweaters had the Dark Mark on the back! But those idiots from 014 didn't realise that and you could see that the Death Eater became pissed off but they went on and on and then the Death Eater cast the Cruciatus Curse at the guy not holding the girl and he went down after a few seconds. They started talking again and Mark here,' he glared at Mark, 'couldn't keep his mouth shut and angered the Death Eater even more, so he got frozen.'
He took another deep breath. 'Then the Death Eater cast some spell on the idiot and it went so slowly. It went straight for the girl and I closed my eyes so I wouldn't have to see it.'
'I saw it.' Said Seamus with a small voice. 'It was horrible. First he coughed up blood, then some invisible knive cut deep gashes in his body. You saw the wounds glow and they burned from the inside. His clothes and body just burned.'
'What spell can do this?' Elena asked.
No one answered until Tris spoke up. 'Sumaree Inflamarae. Sumarus Curse.' He whispered.
Everyone stared at him.
Seamus quickly went on. 'After that he turned to Mark, but Tris saved him. I don't know how he did it, but somehow he managed to get Ved calmed down and we got out of there with Mark.'
'You saved Mark? Thank you.' Elena said, and gave him a hug. He froze, but she didn't notice.
'People, can this later? I'm trying to have a meeting.' Nevin said. 'Please, just don't interrupt and this will be over soon.' When everybody nodded he said: 'Was this all?'
Tobias shaked his head. 'No, as you may have noticed, I stayed behind when the others left and they didn't see an other Invisible come.'
'How did he look?' Tris said sharply.
Tobias didn't make a comment this time, surprisingly. 'short lightbrown hair, light blue eyes, tall, but not as tall as Oliver and Nevin but Harry's and Ved's height, same clothing as the other Invisibles.'
Tris nodded. 'Derek. That cannot go well.'
'It hasn't. Draco Malfoy appeared and walking after him were ten or eleven Death Eaters, then another Invisible and I could tell they hated each other. First those two did just talk but after a while Ved blew up at him and started yelling at him.'
'Did you hear what they said?' Oliver said.
'Yes. Ved gave Derek a deadline. Apperently Derek's mission was to capture Harry but he didn't succeed, and that his training was enough to get Harry. Derek has three weeks or he's dead.'
'That's great news.' Nevin said. 'Thank you. Is there anything important or can we stop?'
'I have nothing.' Elena said. The others agreed.
'Then everyone can eat or sleep or do whatever you like, but can Harry, Hermione, Tobias and Oliver stay here for a few minutes?'
'Sure.'
The others stood up and and left, and they heard Tris ask Chloe why they had to go and she answered: 'There are some things that only they can know, they went though the worst of our whole group and were the first ones in our Group. You must understand.'
Nevin looked serious from face to face. He sighed. 'Concerning Tristan.'
'I don't know.' Said Harry. 'He seems friendly enough.'
'True, but I haven't talked to him alone yet.' Hermione said. 'At least, not long enough.'
Tobias added: 'My first impression was to throw him out. I don't trust him.'
'First impressions can be wrong, but obviously Seamus trusted him.'
'Herm, I have nothing against Seamus, but even now he's quick to trust people. Tris saved Mark, that's probably enough reason for Seamus to trust the guy. He's dangerous.' Harry said, lying on his back on the ground.
Olivers head perked up. 'Why do you think that?'
'I agree with Harry.' Tobias said. 'You know how Harry moves?'
Oliver nodded.
'Tris moves the same. Like they have some hidden power he doesn't want people to know. With Harry we know, but that was only because he told us.'
'I say we give him the benefit of the doubt.' Hermione said.
Nevin sighed again. 'I don't know about that guy.'
After a few minutes in which they were all thinking about the same problem, 'So what do we think about Tris staying here and perhaps joining?' said Nevin.
'I vote against.' Tobias said, the others were not surprised.
'I think he can stay.' Hermione said, and again were the others not surprised.
Oliver walked to the window and stared to the sky. 'I'll wait for a few days to vote. I want to get to know him better.'
After some thinking, Harry said: 'Against.'
'I'll go with Oliver.' Nevin said. 'So we have two against, one for and two don't know it yet. What are we gonna do?'
'I suggest we let him stay until you and Oliver have made your choice.'
Nevin thought about Harry's suggestion for a minute and nodded then. 'Okay. Agreed?'
'I only want him never to be alone until you choose. It's for our safety.' Tobias said and the others agreed.
'Then it's settled, he stays.' Nevin stood up. 'We talk further tomorrow about the Invisible problem.'
When Harry jumped from the stairs to the floor everyone winced, Harry, however just sat down and didn't say a thing when everybody looked at him. Dave walked down the stairs and both of them acted like nothing happened.
A tall grown-up stood up. 'Everyone's here?'
'Yes.' The other grown-up said.

Harry smiled and said: 'You can't get rid of me that easily, Nev, you know it.'

'Lily.' Interrupted Tris.
'Holding Lily and an Invisible-'
