Chapter twenty seven

After an hour of flying practice, the met up with every one in Dumbledore's garden. Harry and Ginny looked a little flushed, and Hermione smiled, knowing exactly what they were doing. There seemed to be a lot of physical love lately, including herself. Draco and Ron played wizard's chess, Ron winning again. Draco turned to see Dami and Hermione.

"Well, ladies," he almost drawled. "What's the plan?"

Hermione swallowed and spoke. "Invocation of name right. We fight, sword to sword, with the Cri and the Aleva-Reia."

Ron spit out the butter beer he had been drinking and sputtered, "Excuse me? Fight them, with swords????"

Ginny snuggled a little closer to Harry. "how medieval!"

"it's the only way." Dami broke in. " it's not legal with out the performance."

Athos broke in from his card game with Gwynth. "And what exactly is invoking a name right?" Gwynth cringed. And the twins pulled out a book. It was called 'the laws of the Ezil Wis.' She flipped to the page.

"Aunt Gwyn gave us this to help. Here it is. I will read what name right is, and then what invoking it means." She took a deep breath and looked around really quick. Draco and Ron had forgotten the chest board, leaning elbows on it to look at Dami and Hermione. Harry and Ginny sat cuddled on a Hammock, watching with fearful eyes. Athos, Albus and Gwyn left their card game, already knowing that what ever answer was given would not be a pleasant one. Hermione continued, with Dami looking over her shoulder. " Name Right: the calling of true ownership of all assets of a name, invoking the power of you ancestors to strengthen the child of their name who they wish to win their assists. The invocation of the name right is very dangerous. A child who has not received and title in the Aleva can invoke their name for property/monetary support. In true invocation, each side has two Ezil Wis of the name, two wizards, and the companions of choice. The wizards prevent outer intervention (see spell below). The companions must be present. The Ezil Wis fight by sword and wing, and the first to lose both of their Ezil Wis has lost, by death or injury. They receive only what the winning side gives, nothing more, and can not invoke the right until either has born a child who can posses the assets of the name."

Draco shook his head. "You mean, Ron and I have to sit by and watch you two get hurt?"

Dami shrugged. "It's this, or be plagued with the thought of always having the Cri trying to capture us. As it goes on, it says that the challenger sets the terms. We want one half of the property, mainly the house of our father in the wizarding world, and that the Aleva can not make us one of them, no matter what. It's a binding contract, bound of blood."

Athos walked over to them. "I wont argue with you, and I won't say no. I will just say this, how long do you need?"

"Three months. It will be on Spring break, when some head home for Easter. We will bring them here to a circle in the woods we found during a walk Dami and I took yesterday. It's an ancient place, and I have a feeling it is not the first battle it's seen."

"What if you lose?" Gwynth said suddenly. Every one turned to her, staring at her in shock. Draco broke it quickly.

"They won't."

Albus nodded. "Then it is settled. Athos and I will be the two..."

Hermione shook her head." No, uncle. Harry and Ginny will. The six of us are connected some how. It's the best way to do it. Trust me."

"I do Hermione." Albus said, and turned to Athos and Gwyn. "Shall we continue our card game?"
