Chapter Thirty
Hermione and Damiana arrived not long after the Cri and Serenity, who were in the exact same as Dami and Hermione, only the older women wore white blouses as a sign of the Aleva. The twins dismounted the two horses, handing them to Blaise and Dean. Both boys smiled at them, and the girls nodded. They walked slowly and gracefully to Draco and Ron, kissing them on the cheek.
Draco and Ron pulled a small box out of each of their robes. Draco smiled, "Mi, Dami, Ron and I bought you two something. We noticed that neither of you wear any jewelry, and I am a firm believer in it as a gift of importance. So we bought you these." Both boys opened the boxes to reveal matching necklaces, one in silver for Dami and one in Gold for Hermione. They were exactly like the pendants Serenity had given Draco and Hermione, the center stone in both being a pure onyx stone. The boys placed their gifts around the necks of the girls, and stepped back. They then hugged the other twin, and Ron whispered to Hermione.
"Be everything I know you are, Princess Griffiness." And then both boys walked over to their spot.
Harry and Ginny came up next, each hugging both girls. Ginny looked determined, and it made Hermione smile. A Weasley determined meant that they would do everything to keep their course. Harry was worried, and Hermione smiled at him. "Harry, it's my turn for an adventure."
He chuckled. "I guess it is. Just be careful, ok?" Her raked his hand through his hair, and smiled. Ginny grabbed his hand and they took their place behind Ron and Draco, Harry's hand on Ron, Ginny's on Draco.
Athos, Albus, and Gwyn came to them next. Their uncles took their hats and over coats, which allowed for free range of movement, and kissed each girl on the cheek before walking away. Gwyn held out two small ring boxes.
"My dears, these were your mothers'." The girls took one a piece, and opened to find a simple band of a ring. One in silver one in gold, with the words, "Peace comes in love" written on them. Each girl slipped the ring on her right hand, and then hugged their aunt, who could only nod and join their uncles.
There was no such ceremony for the other side. With a flourish the Cri and Reia threw their hats and coats a side, and entered the circle. The girls followed, hand in hand as they entered.
The Cri bite out, "What is it that you call for, children?"
Dami spoke calmly, "We call for the rights to all Tegwan properties in the wizarding world and muggle world. We invoke no fly right and you may never come for us again. If you win, only Hermione and I will come. The others will stay; you have no claim over any of them."
Draco stood ready to stop it, but Ron pulled him down. "Don't be stupid!" He whispered harshly. "They will lose if you say a word or try anything."
"Done. Being the Ceremony, children. I have other things to do."
Dami spat, losing her temper, "I am sorry you won't make it to them."
Hermione grabbed her sister, "Dami, shut up."
The twin nodded to her, and Hermione began. "I, Hermione Breneva Tegwan Dumbledore, call to my ancestors to hear my plea. Grant me of our assets what you wish of me." Hermione raised her hands in the air, and Dami began her turn.
"I, Damiana Tzira Tegwan Dumbledore, call to my ancestors to hear my plea. Grant me of our assets what you wish of me." Serenity and the Cri did the same and then Hermione broke through with something different.
"We are the children of wizard old, Children of silver and of Gold. We call to our ancestors to right the evils of this one here, who defiles that which you once called dear."
Dami continued, "We are creatures made for love, she denies this to us all. We pray to you to make her fall. She craves the power that can not be for the one of who she is supposed to be."
Together they finished their case to the ancestors, "We are not perfect this we know, but we are young, still trying to grow. She is hard, she knows no wall. If she continues her way, the Ezil Wis shall fall."
The Cri's face was red with anger. "How dare you, abominations! You haven't the right to call our ancestors. You are nothing but..."
A voice came from the sky; a sharp alto woman with a sweet tone called out, "Enough! You will hold our tongue and sword. I am the first of Tegwan; I am the mother of all. I have made my judgment, the Cri and Reia will fall."
Serenity nodded, "we respect your decision, great mother."
The Cri broke in, "Like hell we do. Draw your swords. We fight!"
A/N a part of me wanted to end it right here for today, making you all wait for an other update. I am still deciding what I want to happen, and I don't like being rushed. (No I am not angry or even annoyed) I am just tired. So I will probably update again today, but for now I am going to call it a day. And yes, I do call this a chapter.
