Averinda and Ginny raced trough the dark hallway's of Hogwarts, desperately
trying to evade the Professors and Filch who were still walking around.
Snape was thinking about what happened back in the common room. A strange
memories were triggered in his subconciousness.
*** Memories? ***
"Do we have to do that Dad? I know she is in danger because I agreed to take the job. But still,...."
"I know honey. It's no fun to do it but still, even you must see the importance of her survival."
"I do dad. I really do. But I don't want to loose her just yet."
"I know, I really do and me or your mum don't want to loose her either but we don't see another way."
She sighed: "All right dad, It will cost me some time to get the coven together. Give me a week."
"Fine! But try quicker, we don't want to endanger her live more." And with that he stood up and walked away quickly followed by the woman.
"What are they planning to do to me??? I really have to get quicker with this hiding stuff. Now I missed the beginning of the conversation." she thought from her hiding place under one of the couches as she heard the adults walking away.
*** End Memories? ***
Averinda and Ginny came to a skidding halt at the front gates of Hogwarts. Outside was a battle going on that would scare the hell out of most people, Dumbledore, Hagrid and Lady Auriora were battling a huge flock of Harpies. Snape was shocked, he knew a lot about Harpies from an essay he had to write a long time ago. Harpies are winged woman with claws instead of hands and feet, the were very ferocious fighters and carnivores. But he had never heard of a large flock like this attacking wizard and witches. Even though they are very resistant to magic, powerful spellcasters can still be them in creative ways. Even now were the three outside were using their wand to throw rocks and other blunt objects at the flock. Dumbledore seemed to create screeching balls of sonic energy and detonated them between them causing the harpies to lose balance. One of the smaller ones plummeted down to the earth and hit the ground with a sickening CRACK!!!
She shot a glance to Ginny and saw that she was totally absorbed by the battle. She hated what she saw, She knew Harpies aren't evil but dark wizards and withes can force their will onto a harpy by using a bond that was created by some evil wizard millennia ago. She came to a conclusion and ran towards the fallen harpy who was lying on her back. She heard Ginny also starting to run behind her. When they reached the fallen harpy Snape came to several conclusions, first: this was a young harpy, probably only 15 to twenty years old. Second: she was still alive and breathing but very badly hurt. Third: He had never written an essay about Harpies.
"Avi!" Ginny said still panting from the short sprint over Hogwarts grounds: "What are we gonna do?" Ai looked annoyed at the girl: "Were going to heal her of course, If the ministry gets his hands on her she probably get killed are at least imprisoned." "What? We can't do that, it's against the law to help dark beings and further more." she stopped when she saw the venomous glare Avi gave her: "Look Ginny, they are not essentially bad, just as somebody who is being controlled by the impervious curse isn't really bad. Let's just help her, OK? And if something happens I'll take complete responsibility." Ginny looked at Averinda for a few more seconds and nodded, she quickly grabbed the young harpies arms while Avi took her legs and together they carried her inside.
O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0 O0o0O0
After about an half hour of doding teachers and resting they finally reached a dark corner. With only a single painting of a handsome young man with fangs, a vampire: "Excuse me misses, but you absolutely delightful this evening. What would you think about joining me for dinner?" Avi walked over to the painting and whispered something in his ears. Ginny was surprised when she saw the vampire smile, he lifted his hands and a soft red glow came from it. In the red light she could see a wall tapestry displaying a dark castle on a high mountain. A small red orb made it's way out of the forest at the bottom of the mountain and moved up the mountain path towards the castle at a quickly to the gates. Once it had entered the castle the tapestry seemed to zoom in and display the castle from the inside, following the red orb trough it until it had reached a beautiful crafted door. The door seemed to grow in size until it covered the entire tapestry and then swung open revealing a hole in the tapestry. Avi said something to the vampire again and he said something back which made Avi turn crimson, she quickly got the harpies legs again. Ginny got the harpies arms and they walked inside the tapestry.
O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0 O0o0O0
Outside the battle against the harpies was coming to an end. Albus had moved closer to his daughter: "What do you think Aura, does she suspect anything?" Auriora smiled, happy that he was willing to call her by her less formal name: "No, I don't think so. I guess she somehow has learned to read lips and she read ours when we were talking." Albus nodded: "That is the most logical answer and I severely hope the right one. If she remembers before the time is right." She smiled at her father: "Don't worry Dad, we always manage to find a way out. And this time we may get some help too." Albus finished the spell he was casting, knocking another harpy out of the air: "What? You not saying that the coven is coming,. really??" "Yep, contacted them a few minutes ago trough the link. They should arrive here somewhere within the next month, they have several assignments to do first." She said while casting a sphere of intense bright light, blinding several harpies. Albus contemplated this for several seconds, in the mean time knocking some more harpies out of the air: "What do you want to do with Ai and Ginny when they arrive, you know I can't hand them over to the coven just like that." She nodded grimly: "I know that dad, but we have to sole that problem when it comes up. Let's just focus first on keeping our secrets from Avi." Albus nodded and wanted to say something but saw that Hagrid was walking towards them.
Hagrid was completely confused, this wasn't normal behavior for harpies, and even more, he didn't want to hurt them magnificent beings. But they had attacked them without logical reason. He was almost overpowered when Dumbledore showed up with a strange woman by his side. The three of them had quickly started to knocking the harpies unconscious, after a while Albus and the woman moved closer together and started a conversation with eachother. A short while later Hagrid looked around and saw that the harpies started to lose courage and one by one quickly flew down to pick up one or two of their fallen friends and quickly flew off in the direction of the forbidden forest. When almost all of them were gone except for one who was flying in fast circles over the ground and seemed to be looking for someone. But he ignored her and instead walked of to ask Dumbledore what was going on and to introduce himself to the woman.
O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0 O0o0O0
Harry leaned out of the window, He had heard loud noises coming from the outside when he was in his dormitory to put away his and Ron's schedule and had looked out of the window and saw to his shock Dumbledore, Hagrid and a beautiful woman battling against a huge flock of harpies. After looking for a while they seemed to be doing fine and he looked around the field to see to shades move towards one of the fallen harpies, one he didn't recognize but the other one with the bright red hair was undoubtedly Ginny. They lifted the Harpy of the ground and carried her back inside. He saw something move out of the corner of his eye. It looked at Ginny and the other one and seemed to nod, then it stepped back into the shadows and faded from sight.
O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0O0o0 O0o0O0
Ginny looked around in surprise, they were inside a beautiful room with a huge bed in one corner of the room. A desk with potions equipment on it and books were spread all over the room. She smiled while they carried the still unconscious harpy to the bed and gently put her down on it.
Snape was annoyed, this was his families castle, and this was the only room in the world were he could really be his self and somebody else he just pretended to be. He sighed and placed the harpy on the bed, why did he safe her anyway? He knew she was safe her with special magical shields oaring the windows that only existed for anybody who had not his permission to enter.
Ginny looked at Ai who seemed to be lost in her own thoughts and decided to interrupt: "What did the Vampire say to you what made you turn crimson?" Avi didn't seemed to realize the question and answered without realising: "Oh, he just said that I have beautiful,. HEY!!!" Ginny smiled happily: "Never Mind. I think we better get back to the common room before anybody start to worry about us." And with that she darted out of the room and reentered hogwarts quickly followed by a mumbling and grumbling Snape.
They quickly made their way back to the common room and saw that most fourth years and higher were still up and swappinf stories of the past summer. The only one not joining them was Harry who was sitting alone on one of the couches. Since their was no other place to sit Avi and Ginny quikly made their way to him and Ginny dropped her self on the couch next to Harry. Since Harry was sitting in the middle Snape had no other choice then to sit beside him, Avi didn't mind though. He looked for a few second at both of them and then asked to the girls shock: "What did you do with the Harpy?"
