HI! This is my first fic and I hope you enjoy it!
*He Found Out*
"Sir, there have been rumors of a new type of muggles, they call them Mutants. Supposedly they have super natural talents and would be a great asset to our cause. A great deal of them reside in a school for 'Gifted' muggles." The voice was calm and collected, resonating coolness and indifference. However, a well-trained person could tell the fear in the quivering ending and the bowed head of the one who spoke.
"Where did you hear of such things?" This voice was sharp and demanded fear from everyone.
"The last muggle who I tortured screamed of 'Freaks with power', 'Mutants that should die', and 'You should go to Hell you damn Mutie'. It did not abide well that they blamed someone other than you, The Dark Lord, so I investigated. I found one of them and I can confirm that they do indeed have special, almost magical abilities. I was able to get from the one I had that every Mutant has a different power. The one I had could speak with animals. Useless in the position he was in, but interesting none the less."
"Interesting. We will capture some of these 'Mutants' and find out what they are exactly. This School seems a good place to start the attack. Get more information on it as soon as possible. We need to know everything about this School. Plan to make our attack on the 1st of September (AN: I think that's when school starts for Hogwarts). Now leave my deatheaters and find the information we need and report back as soon as you can." Quickly all the people gathered in a circle disapperated and apperated instantly where they lived.
One such man apperated to the forests outside of a magnificent castle. It gleamed in between tall trees towering over them like they were ants. He strode quickly across slopping lawns, up spiraling staircases and long passageways, only stopping briefly to adjust his course when a staircase moved. He came to a halt outside a statue of a gargoyle and yelled out a word.
"Starburst"
The Gargoyle jumped aside and them man stepped onto a spiraling staircase, which moved upward. It stopped and the man stepped off into a room decorated in red and gold with blinking portraits of people dressed in weird cloaks and robes. He strode purposefully toward a balding man who was chatting with a man. He looked up when man #1 stopped in front of his desk.
"Ah, Severus. How was the meeting? Any news on their next attack?" The Balding man asked #1 now dubbed Severus.
"Yes. The news is pretty bad. They plan to attack a muggle school filled with people dubbed by other muggles as 'Mutants'. One of my fellow deatheaters found out about them and had to investigate. He believes that it would be an asset to the dark side if they joined them. They are planning on attacking tomorrow, the 1st of September. I have to go back to them as soon as possible (I seem to be using that a lot)."
"We have to do something about this. I have been keeping up with muggle news about Mutants. Very fascinating advancement… Back to the more pressing matters, we need to get them tonight before Voldemort has any more time to gather up his forces. I will have the House Elves ready I new dormitory for these children. The only problem we will have is how to transport them to Hogwarts. However the more pressing matter is to get these children somewhat protected, and the only way to do that is to be there…"
**********************
Amaris woke with a start. She was drenched in sweat, a side affect from every vision she had ever had.
Not again! Why can't I have just 1 week of no dreams? One week of bliss and happiness when I didn't have a Vision. I'm really starting to get sick of this damn 'gift' and I'm only 14! I have to live the rest of my life with it. At least this Vision had something to do with my future, and not with someone down in New Hope Carolina.
Mentally grumbling the 14-year-old girl grabbed a bathrobe that hung on the door and proceeded to make her way downstairs. She made her way past several other doors and then took an elevator down to level 1. Stepping off she past 3 doorways before halting and knocking twice on her professors' door.
She waited for 1 full minute before the door was opened and a bald man wheeled his way out.
"Amaris, I'm taking it you had another one of your Visions?"
"No Professor Xavier, I was just going down for a midnight snack and thought you would like to join me." Amaris smirked than stated the real truth for her being there. "Yeah, *yawn* I had another Vision. I would rather you take it from me since I'm so tired and it wasn't about that chick from Carolina either, although those Visions were just getting interesting. Anyways, it was about us and *yawn* someone trying to capture us. It was really confusing, maybe you can make it make sense." Amaris finished off her speech with a yawn and a stretch.
"Typically, I don't want to go into your mind but seeing how you are about to fall asleep again, I will make this the exception. Now sit down on that stool -good- now just relax but don't fall asleep."
Amaris easily complied and sat down on the nearest seat, which happened to be the floor. She let all of her muscles relax and let her mind wonder.
Professor Xavier put his hands over her temples and started to probe at her mind. He pushed past her superficial thoughts of, 'I am Sooooooooooooooooooooooo tired', past her deep thoughts of, 'What exactly did they mean by 'Deatheaters'?', and finally, her innermost workings before he got the to the actual dream of, 'If the time difference was 5 hours that would mean that there it's 5 am and they will come to get us at like 6, so we should start getting ready, unless they've taken into account that and they will show up at a reasonable time like 10, so some people CAN GET SOME SLEEP!'. Finally he got to the actual dream, and boy was it interesting (AN: Sorry I couldn't think of anything else to say other than: Boy was it interesting. That looks and sounds really really stupid).
"I do believe that this is a matter of some concern to us. Go back to bed and I will notify the other professors. Good Night Amaris."
"G'night Professor!" She skipped off up to her room and back to bed.
*************************
An ocean away, a boy of 16 woke up with a start, clutching his forehead in pain. He remembered something about 'Mutants' and that they were the next target, but every other detail was quickly slipping through his hands.
It always happens like this! I can never remember everything about my dreams about Voldemort; it would help if I did though. But…Sirius died because of one of my dreams…I really should be able to block them out with all the Occlumency. I should talk to Dumbledore about that. It can wait until tomorrow though, I'll go see him right after the feast.
Smiling, Harry Potter turned over and was blessed with waves of sleep as they passed over him.
*************************
Amaris and her roommates Kitty and Tivona woke up with a screech as the Professors voice echoed throughout their heads.
: Students, I need you to pack everything important to you now. We need to leave the mansion by 1. Pack nothing you can live without. You will need all of your clothes so get those packed first, and where we are going, no electrical equipment works. Pack as soon as possible (an: there I go again). We need to go as soon as you're packed so bring your suitcases to the Blackbird hanger when your done packing, now get a move on!:
"Why couldn't he have been quieter about that? I already had a big headache from the Vision and I hadn't even taken Aspirin! So not faire!" Whined Amaris to her two roommates, one of which who was currently apologizing to the people who slept below them for falling through the floor and landing on them.
"What was that Amaris? Sorry, couldn't hear you through the floor." For a response Kitty got a convenient pillow thrown at her, which she phased through and instead it hit Tivona dead on.
"HEY!" This action was retaliated by another pillow being thrown which, resulted in a full-fledged war. It lasted several minutes with no powers being used for two of the Mutants, but the third kept on phasing through pillows to avoid being hit. The fight finally ended with all three girls unable to throw any pillows because they were laughing to hard.
"So, I guess we should start packing?"
"Yeah."
"Sure…"
The three girls started to pick up their room, and then to pack their belongings in their suitcases. They disregarded the no electronics rule and piled their MP3 players, boom boxes, and batteries. It was a hard squeeze, but they managed to stuff it all in their suitcases. It had taken them 3 hours to pack everything, and they had started at 9:30 in the morning.
Damn, 30 min. to get downstairs, I think this calls for Shadowcat thought Tivona.
"Hey, Kitty, do you think you could help us with these suitcases? If you would just phase them through the floor…" Tivona suggested hopefully.
"Already done Naturesk." Replied Kitty touching each of the bags and phasing them through 4 floors. "Now all we need to do is go downstairs and haul them the rest of the way to the hangar. Race you, no powers?"
"You're on, Baby!"
"One…"
"Two…"
"Three…" They yelled at the exact same time and took of sprinting with Amaris jogging to keep up.
*POV AMARIS*
I continued dotingly down the stairs, opting to avoid the elevators because it looked like they were backed up. I passed by the entrance just as the doorbell rang. Giving it a sideways glance I turned to face it and opened the door.
My eyes opened in surprise, I recognized these men from my Vision. One was none other than Severus, and the other was the person the professor with the long beard was chatting to. However now a woman accompanied them with a strict expression on her face.
"Um… Hi?" I gave them a kind of half smile with a eyebrow raised.
"Yes, Hi. I'm Remus Lupin, she is Minerva McGonagall, and this is Severus Snape. We are representatives for Dubledore, Headmaster at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Could we please speak to Professor Xavier, he should be expecting us?"
Should I let them see the professor? Not sure, they look nice enough, and they say they're with the cool looking man from the Vision who wanted to protect us, and in fact I saw them there…
"Well, if you care follow me I can take you down to the hangar where Professor Xavier currently is." I offered to the group. I turned when Mr. Lupin nodded and set off down the stairs at a pace the two men and the woman could easily keep up with.
"How rude of me, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm-" I was interrupted in the middle of my sentence when Kitty's head came popping out of the floor with a slightly angry expression on her usually calm face.
"Where have you been? Professor is waiting for you to show up along with the rest of us so he can explain- Oh." She stopped mid-sentence because she had just realized why I was so late.
"Yes Oh. As I was saying before I was so rudely *glare* interrupted. I'm Amaris Tran, and this is my friend Kitty Pride also known as Shadowcat. She like me is a mutant and her ability-as you can see- is the power to pass through solid objects, we call it phasing. And I think I have a way for us to get to our destination much faster than normal. If you gentleman will just hold my hand we shall phase down to the Hangar." I grabbed onto Remus who grabbed onto Minerva's elbow who grabbed onto Severus's hand. I reached for Kitty and she obligated by phasing us through 2 floors down to the Hangar.
Our entrance certainly surprised everybody who was down there. Bobby stood dumbfounded at the people who were with us. He seemed to be in the middle of fighting with Amara. A long jet of ice was frozen halfway to Amara still attached to his hand. Everyone was staring and I was starting to get a little self-conscious so I dropped Mr. Lupin's hand and walked toward Tivona with Kitty close behind. Just as we reached her Professor X spoke up from right behind Bobby who had just taken his attack back into him.
"Now students, please put your stuff in Black Bird 5 as I speak to our guests." This was just to keep us all busy and we knew it, but nevertheless we complied and started piling our stuff into the latest model of the Black Bird.
****With the Guests****
Professor Xavier slowly wheeled his way over to the people who had been waiting patiently for him for less than a minute.
"Hello. So you will be taking us to Hogwarts?" Charles was brief and to the point.
"Yes, we can also spell the Black Bird so it can accommodate for all of the students and their luggage. It would not be any trouble at all." This was Professor McGonagall speaking in a hurried voice as she noticed Snape clutching his right arm.
"That would be much appreciated. We have over 100 students, and I don't think they will all fit in the Black Birds."
"Very well. And Severus must leave right now, he has other business to attend." With a flick of her wand the interior of the Blackbird expanded without anything happening to the outside (think wizard tents). The people who were currently stowing their baggage gasped in surprise. Siren gave a small scream and everybody winced.
"Siren don't do that!"
"Sorry!"
Within 3 min. everybody had their baggage stored and were sitting securely somewhere in the Blackbird. With a rumble the jet took of towards the East and disappeared into the horizon.
*****On the Hogwarts Express*****
"HARRY! RON!" A girl with bushy brown hair ran over to her friend and gave a boy with messy black hair a tight hug before turning and doing the same to his freckled red haired friend.
"Hey Hermione. How has your summer been? The Dursley's kept me in the house most of the time unless I was gardening or taking out the trash. It was one of the worst summers of my life. Well at least Dumbledore came every Monday to teach me Occlumency. So how was yours?"
"Oh… Harry you know it's hard to go right after you say how depressing your summer was when mine was pretty good. I went to America, New York to be precise. Did you know that they have Mutants there? I just thought it was really weird what they were. Supposedly they have these abilities like Telepathy and being able to reverse the effects of gravity, it's really quite interesting. They have them here in Europe, however with all the attacks on muggles, it's kind of been pushed to the side. But there are some people who believe it is mutants behind the attacks. I did a lot of research on it and included it in one of my NEWT DADA essays. It's actually nearly 4 ft long, I hope the new teacher is not going to be mad."
"Hermione!" Ron exclaimed loudly. "We don't need to know about every essay you wrote."
"It was only one essay Ron. Anyway, how was your summer? Say it quick because I need to go to the prefects compartment soon." The train they were aboard had just started to move and Hermione was looking scandalous that she wasn't there in the compartment yet.
"Fine. Fred and George have expanded to Hogsmede. Percy finally made contact with our family, only to say that he was getting married to Penelope and that we were invited. Ginny and me can't go because we'll be at Hogwarts. Fred and George have conveniently scheduled a meeting they can't get out of and Bill and Charlie can't get out of work. So Dad and Mum are the only ones going. I think Mum was kind of upset about the fact that she and dad were the only ones going but I dunno. Other than that life was kind of boring. Oh, and Fred and George nearly turned our whole house into a swamp by accident because they spilled a box of Portable Swamp's. Mum was furious but everybody else was amused by it. That's about it."
"Ok, well see you guys in like an hour." Hermione waved and walked toward the front of the train saying Hi to people she knew on the way. It took less than 5 min. to reach the right compartment. In gold lettering with many curly cues was the words "Prefects Compartment". Giving a happy smile she opened the door and stepped in. Instantly the smile dropped as she ran head on into Malfoy.
"Granger watch where you're going."
"Malfoy you watch where you're going."
"Stop fighting you guys and sit down." A clear crisp voice echoed through the compartment. "We have a lot to discuss. I was just informed by Dumbledore that we will have a large group of muggle students staying with us this year. They are what muggles call 'Mutants'. They are actually the next evolution in the human race. Each has his or her own special ability. We are going to give them their own house, but we need two prefects to show them around." Cho spoke quietly as if the news was completely ordinary and happened every day.
"MUGGLES AT HOGWARTS? Has Dumbledore gone mad?" Draco practically screamed this at the top of his lungs.
"Malfoy SHUT UP! And no he has not gone mad; there is a very good reason for bringing Muggles to Hogwarts, which is that they are being hunted by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named because of their talents. Now they will be divided into three groups, so that each of us only gets about 35 kids to look after. Their ages range from 10 to around 16. You will have to ask what classes they want to attend, because Dumbledore has informed me that it would be wise if they knew what they were up against. Each of them will learn about a subject that is most related to there gifts. I've already decided on who your partners are going to be so listen up. Padma and Justin will be 1 set of partners, Terry and I will be in another, and Malfoy and Hermione will be in the third group."
"WHAT!" There were two audible yells from the Prefects compartment. Each voice filled with a pounding rage that was coursing through their bodies.
"I refuse to work with this…this Mudblood!"
"I refuse to work with this…this arrogant pureblood prick!" They yelled at the same time glaring at each other before turning to glare at Cho Chang, the Head Girl.
"This is a perfect opportunity for you to work together and settle your differences. I asked Dumbledore and he agreed completely. Now unless you have questions concerning the muggles, this meeting is at a closure." She waited patiently for a second before pushing past the fuming Draco and Hermione. She was soon followed by everyone in the compartment except for two people who continued to glare at each other.
"We really should come to a truce, because we want these people to think the best of us." Hermione said interrupting the silence.
"Why should we care about a bunch of muggles?" Said Malfoy being his usual prick self.
"Because, Malfoy, some of these 'muggles' could kill us with a single thought. You might not care what's happening in the muggle world, probably because your to busy with your duties as a Deatheater, but-"She was interrupted by a arm grabbing her throat and shoving her up against the wall of the compartment.
"Don't talk about things you don't understand mudblood. I am nothing like by father; he's just some idiotic man following the orders of a madman. You, Weasley, and Potter are always talking about how much you know. YOU KNOW NOTHING!" He was slightly out of breath as he let go of Hermione's neck and she slid down the wall and landed on the floor, rubbing her neck to rid it of the slight throbbing sensation. Draco had Sat down at that point with a small noise as he landed with a thump on one of the seats in the compartment head in hands, propped up by his elbows that were resting on his knees.
"Mal-Draco?" Hermione asked quietly not wanting to anger the boy into another outburst.
"What Granger?" It was muffled from something indistinguishable. He refused to look up at her for some reason beyond Hermione's mind.
"My offer for truce is still up, it'll be hell if we fight like this every time we see each other. If we both agree to be civil to each other than we might be able to actually survive this next year. By the sounds of it Cho will probably pair us up for any assignment-requiring partner, and even some that don't. So unless you feel like throwing me against a wall every time we meet I suggest a truce. What do you-" She was interrupted as the compartment door opened and Harry and Ron stepped through.
"Hermione, Luna wanted to talk to you about DA. Come on let's go!" Harry urged with his voice grabbing her hand and leading her out. At the last moment, Hermione turned and spoke to Draco.
"Just think about it OK?" The only response she got was a barely audible grunt. She sighed, turned and left the dragon to its thoughts.
****Aboard the Blackbird****
"Professor, How much longer?" This was the 100th time the question had been asked in the past 2 hours.
"In about an hour if you must know, however I told you this about a minute ago and it hasn't changed." Professor Xavier was getting quite frustrated with his students who were incredibly board and had started to annoy all of their teacher (minus Logan)
"Professor, could I play some music? On the Blackbirds CD player that is?" A voice interrupted his thoughts. He turned to see Amaris, Kitty, and Tivona staring back at me with large eyes. Behind them stood Rogue and Bobby looking at him intently.
"Since there's no possible way to deny you access to the CD player it's fine." He sighed as they pushed past him toward the front of the Blackbird.
**Amaris's POV**
"Come on you guys!" I whispered loudly motioning toward the front of the Blackbird. "Good Charlotte or Sum 41" I asked them as we surrounded the front of the Blackbird.
"Let's do Anthem by GC and then do Heart Attack by 41. We can decide what's next after we see the crowds reaction." Bobby spoke up from behind me. We all quickly and I pulled out my MP3 player plugged it in turned up full volume and let the music blare from the stereos around the Blackbird.
It's a new day, but it all
feels old
It's a good life, that's what I'm told
But everything, it all just feels the same
Everybody stared at the speakers as they bared out music. Some of the kids started nodding there head to the beat.
And my high school, it felt more to me
Like a jail cell, a penitentiary
My time spent there, it only made me see
That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
'Cause I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be
Jubilee used her gift to make streams of sparkling energy to fly through the jet. Nearly everyone was singing along with the music, and some were dancing. It was turning into a full-fledged party (and it was only like 12:00 in the afternoon).
You...don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem throw all your hands up, you, don't wanna
be you
"Go to college, a university, get a real job,"
That's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gonna get by and just do my time, out of step while they all get in line
I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind
Do you really wanna be like them, do you really wanna be another trend?
Do you wanna be part of their
crowd?
'Cause I don't ever wanna, no I don't ever wanna be
I could see Professor X smilling, and it took me a while to realize why he was doing that. No one had asked him a single question scince we had started playing the music.
You...don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem throw all your hands up, you, don't wanna
be you
Shake it once, that's fine
Shake it twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself again
You...don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem throw all your hands up,
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me, you, don't wanna be just like you
(just like you)
This is the anthem throw all your hands up, y'all got to feel me, sing if
you're with me
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
I was smiling at the sheer pandemonium we had created. The professors from Hogwarts had raised eyebrows to what we were doing. Professor Lupin was smiling at the chaos while McGonagall was muttering under her breath. I smirked then turned back to my pandemonium and flung myself into the thick of things just as the next song came on.
Remember when there was nothing
else to do, but lie and bed and,
Wonder how it was always up to you, and no one else and,
Early mornings, made by warnings, what's the point of the alarm that i'm
ignoring?
It's either raining, i'm not complaining, but waking up is hard to do so,
Turn my head its back to bed with no delay, can't be bothered by the phone ten
times a day,
Why get up my morning doesn't even start till two?
Forget reality waking up is hard to do…
Ta Da?
I Hope you liked it, and I hope you review if you've read it. It takes place in 6th year, and Harry's kind of OOC for now, because I did his part before I read the 5th book so don't get angry. I'll try to put him back IC, but no promises. Oh, and this will be a D/Hr fic, unless you guys vote otherwise.
Review and VOTE FOR COUPLES!
La Ti Da and Buh-bye!
Deva!
