I know this chapter is short but I didn't realize that when I wrote it
months ago. Nice change, huh?
-Things Fall Apart-
March came and went and April brought with it the healthy dismal rain everyone loved to stare at through the window. Usually Saira looked nice everyday but her hair was matted to her head due to the humidity. Liz and the others were the same way. The month was dreary and not just because of the weather. They were getting more homework than ever before. The only time anyone really got a moment to say anything was a hello in the hallway.
Saira felt like she was getting really out of shape since she hadn't trained in months. Dmitri had been spending a lot of time with Saira. She also discovered that he'd been going to the library everyday to translate the Hylian scrolls. Vienne's death had really motivated him.
The DA meetings had continued and everyone was doing great. Today they were starting Patronus.' Saira's was not clearly lined but from what she could make out, it looked like a Faery. Liz gloated every chance she got because hers was definitely a small but effective, butterfly.
"Shut up" Saira said. However, Liz's butterfly vanished in an instant and she turned over at Harry. Liz looked at Aranel and Saira and her eyes told them something was wrong. They all looked at Harry, and he was speaking to the House-Elf, Dobby.
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!??"
"Liz what happened?" Saira asked
Liz concentrated trying to get a hold on the cause. "Umbridge" she said
Hearing that they all ran for the door and stopped outside.
"You go to the library. Fast as you can. I can take care of myself," Saira said to her Elf friends. There was no time for argument
They went the other direction but Saira went towards the oncoming people. She changed her appearance to one of Pansy's friends and was easily skipped over when Pansy came running by. When she was out of sight, Saira changed back and started running again. She flew around the corner but someone strong grabbed her arm and spun her around.
"Saira?"
"Draco. Er—hi"
Saira saw Umbridge drag Harry off and a sinister smiled crossed Draco's face. Saira pulled her arm out of his grip.
"You're helping her?" Saira asked angrily
"I'm a prefect. I'm obligated," he said trying to justify himself
"Obligated? What the bloody hell are you talking about. Umbridge is trying to ruin the school and you're helping her! Are you blind?"
"Dumbledore is the words thing that's ever happened to this school"
"So you prefer a toad woman?" she yelled, "God I thought you were different but you truly are your father's son. I'll see you after the Easter holidays" she spat
"Saira wait. What? Where are you going?"
"I'm leaving for a few—!" Saira let out a scream as a vision began. She was in Dumbledore's office. Cornelius Fudge, Umbridge, McGonagall and other wizards she didn't recognize were there as well. A girl she'd seen at the DA meeting with Cho was looking very distressed and her face was messed up somehow. She heard no words but suddenly everyone pulled out their wands. Smoke filled the room and when it cleared, only Dumbledore stood because McGonagall had pushed Harry and the girl down.
Saira screamed again then sopped and opened her eyes. Draco was holding her up "—days"
"Where?" he asked
"Back to Mirkwood with Legolas."
"You know, seeing you like that reminds me of a rumor going around school that you're a Seer" he said
"They're not rumors when they're true" Saira held her head and staggered off unusually dizzy from the vision. "I though you would have figured it out. Haven't you wondered why I black out and sometimes begin screaming for no reason you can see? I'm cursed"
She stopped and had to lean against the wall because her head throbbed with pain. Panting she slid down to the ground. She put her hands to her head even though it didn't help. Visions were never like this but too much was happening and she was supposed to see too much. Her body was losing strength for it.
"Saira are you alright?"
"Get...someone. Legolas" she said through clenched teeth but because of pain not anger.
Draco ran off even though he didn't know where to go. He figured he'd just find the first teacher and get their help. He went back after searching for a while but once he saw Legolas was already there, he stayed hid behind the corner. Draco watched him take her hand and help her up. When she couldn't stand he picked her up. He took her the opposite direction of the hospital wing. He was filled with jealousy but knew Legolas could help her more than he could.
When Saira didn't show up at the common room that night, Dmitri and Liz were a bit worried. Liz was having trouble getting a hold on what Saira was feeling. In these past months, that ability of hers has been a great asset.
"Do you think she got caught?" Liz asked
"No, Saira's too good. Hey I'm gonna go see Aranel."
Dmitri went to the Ravenclaw common room. Most people knew him so he just walked in casually. Aranel was playing Kholiast with Bri. He walked up behind her and tickled her making her jump and ruin her counting system,
"Dmitri, I was winning" Aranel said
"Sorry but I'm here to steal you"
"Did you finish your work?"
"Course" he kissed her "I did"
"Alright Sir Dmitri" she said "Sorry Bri. You win that round"
Bri smiled and said it was okay before she left to go do something. Dmitri led Aranel out and they started walking around. They ran into Rianna who was coming from the Slytherin Hall. Aranel didn't necessarily dislike Rianna but her flirtatious nature was hard to get used to. She constantly flirted with Dmitri but what angered her even more was when Dmitri flirted back
Rianna left and Dmitri and Aranel headed to the courtyard.
"Why do you do that?" Aranel asked
"Do what?"
"Flirt with her"
"I flirt. You know that. It doesn't mean anything. I'm yours"
"It's hard to tell sometimes"
Dmitri leaned in and gently gave her a soft kiss followed by a passionate one.
"I'm yours and no others" Dmitri wanted to say 'I love you' at that point because Aranel's eyes were pleading for it but they just wouldn't come out. Aranel laid down on top of him and tried not to think about it anymore.
After Dmitri left, Liz was the only Elf. Ron and Hermione were there doing homework but that was it. She was still worried about Saira so she grabbed Saira's book she used to talk to Legolas with and used that to make sure she was okay. But she didn't get a response, which couldn't be good.
She decided she would seek someone to cheer her up. And of course Voron is the person she went to see. As she came out she found him standing there with a pensive look on his face.
"Oh, the irony" Liz said smiling
"Huh?"
"I was just going to go see you," she said, "why are you just standing out here?"
"I couldn't remember the password," he said
Liz laughed. He held out his hand for her to take, which she did. Then he pulled her hard so she was up against him. He put his arms around her and just started swaying and dancing with her. He dipped her and kissed her while holding her up.
"Did you miss me?" she joked
"Do you really have to ask?"
He twirled her around despite the lack of music but neither of them seemed to care.
