Chapter Twenty-Four: Aingealag
Sabby could have been seen in the library hours on end searching about the mythical food of the Gods' and how they could be used to communicate with dieing people. She searched in between classes, during Lunch, all through the day even once the library closed. She had large bags under her eyes and her eyes were bloodshot.
"Sabetha wait!" said Damien one day.
"What? I am very busy right now." Replied Sabby.
"I just want to talk to you." He said.
Sabby turned around roughly her wavy dark hair framing her face.
"And what about?" she asked.
"Ever since you heard about the "Gods'" food you've been so busy trying to figure everything out you haven't the time to spend with m—uh I mean with everyone else." Said Damien blushing.
Sabby smiled and took Damien's hand.
"Listen, all I want is to say good-bye to a very close friend. I know she doesn't have enough time and I want to talk with her face-to-face if only you would understand. I'm sorry but right now I do not want a serious relationship or any one at all maybe in the future I'm terribly sorry."
Sabby kissed Damien's cheek and ran off to the library to find more information. Damien stood there flabbergasted he never thought he would hear those words form from Sabetha's lips. He walked down to the Boadicea classroom to see his mother.
"Mother." He called.
The tall, Boadicea teacher came in dressed in green and silver robes, her curly, red hair was placed on her head in a majestic bun. Gold glasses were upon her small, delicate nose magnifying her bright, blue eyes.
"Yes, son?" she asked.
"I need some help." He said.
Mrs. MacLellan sat down behind her desk, crossed her fingers and placed her chin over them looking at her son through her glasses.
"What help?" she asked.
"Mum…why am I a Death Eater?" he asked.
Damien's mother tensed and took her chin off of her hands.
"You know perfectly well why." She said.
"I want to hear your point of view…I feel so alone the girl that I like is immerged in her search to speak with Genevieve and my other friends are scared because they think Voldermort will attack any second." Said Damien.
"I understand being a teenage Death Eater and a small, frighten child in a vulnerable school can be challenging. As you know, your father forced us to join Voldermort's reign you were small and scared and I had no way to stop it I was forced but couldn't fight since I am a woman but you, my son, since you are your father's heir had to at least know how "unclean" muggle-borns are. They tried to fill your head with lies but I was always behind you and tried to correct you to make you follow the right path."
"But as you know your father did not like it and when he found out he almost tried to murder me but I left with you to an old friend's and there I stayed with you, you were small at the time you thought all this was a game, and my dear colleague until I found a place for us to live in."
"I know you never had a childhood and that is why I tried my hardest to give you something when we were in The Leaky Cauldron but now we have a house, I have a job, you have placed everything behind you and we can start a new life…until Voldermort came back and now…"
Mrs. MacLellan stopped and breathed deeply,
"He won't stop until we are dead. I know it I knew about his plans from you and my friend I knew too much and I still do and I used every bit of information for Dumbledore. And I know Voldermort and your father will stop at nothing to get us."
Damien got up and hugged his mother she began to sob softly into his shirt and hugged her son back with all her soul.
"Don't worry, Lucius is not going to find us, we're going to be fine I promise."
Damien knew his mother would not find much comfort in his words so he made that promise more to himself then to his mother.
Meanwhile, back in the library, Sabby was pouring over a book on the gods and their heavenly powers.
"No!" she screamed as she shut the book with a snap yet again she found nothing to help her. As Sabby reached for her next book a pair of large, pale hands shot out and grabbed it before she did.
"What the---oh professor!" she said.
Snape was looking over Sabby's book, The Wonders of the Gods by: Helena Tophill, and arched an eyebrow,
"So you heard about the Gods' food?" he asked simply.
"Yes, sir." She said.
"Trying to find a way to talk to your friend?" he asked.
"As a matter of fact yes sir. May I have that book please?" she asked.
"Its no use, you know, you won't be able to talk to her you can only use Ambrosia and Nectar on a person once." He said.
"I'm planning on using it only once, sir, now may I have my book now please?" she asked.
"The Headmaster and Potter are going to try and contact Ms. Coronet. You won't have a chance to speak with her…ever." He said.
"That's not true you're just trying to stop me." She said.
"Think what you will, Ms. Anderson, you will find out once you kill her. Have a nice day." He said as he placed the book back on the table.
Sabby looked at Snape's back as he exited the library was he serious, she thought, are Harry and Professor Dumbledore really going to talk with Gen?
Sabby, suddenly, got up and rushed toward the Headmaster's office. A few yards away from Dumbledore's office Sabby met up with Damien once more.
"No time sorry---" said Sabby.
"Wait listen me out I found it I found what you've been searching on." Said Damien.
Sabby, violently, turned around and looked at Damien,
"What do you mean you found it?" she asked with suspicion in her voice.
"I found a way you can use the things to contact Genevieve." He said.
He took out a book from his bag and handed it over to Sabby she read the cover, Secrets of the Unknown: Plants and Other Mythological Articles by: Mayaline MacLellan, and looked into Damien's face.
"How...?" she said.
"My mum heard about how hard you are working and she…decided to help you." He said blushing.
Sabby dropped the book and kissed him softly on his lips he was thunder shocked by her gesture but quickly took the initiative and kissed her back. He placed his hands on her waist and her arms wrapped around his neck. They kissed for a few seconds and then separated.
"Does this mean what I think it means?" asked Damien.
"You better believe it." Said Sabby as she kissed him again.
In Dumbledore's office, Harry, Sirius, and Remus were all sitting around Dumbledore's desk waiting for the final preparations. Harry was anxious to talk with Genevieve even though they didn't say much they shared a lot of the same things.
Dumbledore emerged from a room upstairs and went to sit behind his grand, oak desk with many silver objects puffing and spinning around.
"Well?" asked Sirius.
Dumbledore said calmly,
"I do not think we will be able to talk with Ms. Grindelwald there is an obstacle in our way."
"Why?" asked Remus?
"Because Ms. Anderson has found a way to communicate with Genevieve but I do have this theory you may tell Ms. Anderson what questions you have and have her ask them for you."
Harry looked from Remus, to Sirius to Dumbledore before speaking,
"May I ask why are you letting her speak with Genevieve?" he asked.
"Because she is the closest to any of you believe it or not if she sees any of you three Genevieve might back out and live." Said Dumbledore.
"In seeing Sabetha Genevieve might be able to control her emotions better I am deeply sorry for the three of you I know how bad you wanted to speak with her." He said.
"When is Sabetha going to talk with Genevieve?" asked Remus.
"In a few days so I suggest you three make your questions now while I go and speak with her. That is all you three may leave." He said as he got up from his desk.
Harry, Remus and Sirius got up and started to make their way to the door until the door banged open and a blushing Sabby walked in.
"Um…hello people." She said timidly.
"Ah, Ms. Anderson just the person I wanted to speak with." Said Dumbledore as he signalled Harry, Remus and Snuffles to leave.
Once they left, Sabby sat in front of Dumbledore's desk and started to play with the hem of her robes.
"What is it that you wanted to talk about?" she asked.
"I know that you have found out about the magical powers of Ambrosia and the Nectar and I am supporting you all the way but some people want to have the opportunity to go and also talk with Genevieve so I have decided to not overwork her and let you go in alone and ask questions that Harry, Professor Lupin and another friend want to ask. Are you comfortable with this?" he asked
"Yes, I am sir." She said.
"Good then do you know how to work the plants?" he asked.
"No sir." She said.
"I am aware that you, sincerely, want to talk with Ms. Coronet so I will explain what you need to do. First of all, you must free your mind of everything from grief to happiness then you must find your hidden strength and eat the Ambrosia afterwards you must speak the person's name, in this case Genevieve's, and drink the Nectar."
Sabby nodded and looked at the book in her hands,
"Professor…um did Professor MacLellan know the origins of these things?" asked Sabby.
"As a matter of fact, she did and that is why she is famous throughout the Wizarding world now I suggest that you go and rest your mind while I set everything up."
Dumbledore rose from behind his desk and motioned for the door. Sabby stood up and walked toward the door,
"Professor?" she asked.
"Yes, Ms. Anderson?" he replied.
"Thanks a lot." She said smiling.
"Anytime."
About three days later Dumbledore called forth Sabby, Harry, Remus, and Snuffles to see Sabby off. Dumbledore had a small, silver table near Genevieve's bed. On it were several plants and a small golden, chalice full of a misty bullion liquid.
"Now, Sabetha do you have their questions ready?" asked Dumbledore.
"Yes, sir." Said Sabby.
"Good now remember Ms. Anderson free your mind of every emotion and at the same time try to find a hidden strength I know it sounds impossible but with the help of the Ambrosia it will be possible." Said Dumbledore.
Sabby nodded and looked at the Ambrosia with hesitation. Sabby was getting doubts what if this didn't work, what if she was dieing and her presence would make everything worse, what ifs ran through her mind trying to get her out of this sticky situation.
She sighed and looked at Harry his eyes full of hope, worry and slight happiness. She knew these people were counting on her she breathed deeply and was clearing her mind when the doors burst open and Damien ran down toward Sabby.
"Wait I have something for you." He said.
"Yeah? Well, hurry up." She said.
He kissed her cheek and hugged her fiercely.
"Say hello to Genevieve for me, savvy?" he said.
Sabby smiled and said in her pirate voice,
"Aye, aye cap'n." she said her voice cracking.
Then Sabby started to clear her mind it wasn't easy since images of Genevieve, Damien and her parents kept rushing into her mind but she fought to get them far away back into the shadows of her mind.
Once she felt nothing she took some Ambrosia and ate some it had no taste at all and Sabby began to search for her "hidden strength" but what in the world was it she thought? What's my hidden strength?
Sabby though and thought until something popped into her mind yes, she thought, I know what it is! Sabby then took the Nectar and said,
"Genevieve."
She took a swig and felt herself diminish as though she was being erased from the Earth she felt light headed and wanted to sit down.
"Stand up, Sabetha." Said a voice.
Sabby looked around and noticed she was lying on the floor in a bright, pallid room with a small table in the middle. There, sitting behind of the table was Genevieve but she seemed older and her eyes held a sort of wisdom and power that the Genevieve Sabby knew did not have.
"Sit down, please." She said.
Sabby got up and sat down in front of this woman.
"My name is Aingealag and I am your guide." She said with a slight strong French accent.
"My guide?" asked Sabby.
"Yes for you see your friend Genevieve is trapped in her own mind she is leaving your world for the sake of your people you wish to speak with her?" asked Aingealag.
"Yes, ma'am." Said Sabby.
"Very well what is it that you seek from her?" she asked.
Sabby sat up straight and said,
"Well I am here with some questions that my friends want to ask Gen for example why is she dieing? For whom is she dieing? Where is the Soul Crystal?" she said.
Aingealag nodded and stood up and walked to a nearby wall she placed her hand over it and utter the following words,
"Peux je svp avoir accès à la mme Genevieve l'esprit des Grindelwald?" she said.
Suddenly, a door appeared with a boarder of silver designs leaves and vines the leaves glimmered as if they were immerged in gold and water. Aingealag stood next to the door and replied,
"This is the gateway to Genevieve's mind beware though for you see she is changing and you might not recognize her do not tell her anything of your world she might change her mind and come back to the Land of the Living."
Sabby nodded rubbed her hands nervously. Aingealag opened the door and let Sabby in as she was closing the door Sabby heard Aingealag say,
"Merci ET la bonne chance."
Sabby looked around and noticed this was Professor Lupin's office Sabby looked around and started to call for her,
"Genevieve are you here?" she said.
She heard rustling and turned around it seemed as though something was moving in the shadows.
"Gen! C'mon I'm not playing where are you?" asked Sabby frighten.
"I'm right here." Said a voice behind her.
Sabby turned around and gasped she walked back and fell down on the floor.
"Sabby?" said Genevieve.
Sabby screamed as a melting, clay hand reached out for her.
Another Author's Note: Well, if you're smart and everything you might figure out that Genevieve is melting lol and if you didn't I pity you lol. Nine freaking pages I was going to go for ten but then as you all know I got lazy so ha!
In your face! Since I am sleeping a lot and can barely go on the puter my updates are going to be less frequent but that's the price you pay! The translations for Aingealag are as followed and yes they are French,
Peux je svp avoir accès à la mme Genevieve l'esprit des Grindelwald = May I please have access to Ms. Genevieve Grindelwald's mind?
Merci ET la bonne chance = Thank you and good luck.
In the upcoming second to last chappy, The Four Essential Plays, Sabby comforts Gen and learns a disturbing secret, the people back at home find themselves at a lost and the war begin against the Dark and the Light. Thanks for reading and please review! Hey look ten pages woo hoo!
