The Ring of Fire
Chapter 5
"Professor Snape! I dont want to go in again! "Narya cried childishly. "Do not act like a child!" replied Severus annoyed by all the attention they were calling. "But I AM a child!" she said in dismay. Then added "He will ask me this stupid questions again! Hey! Now that I think about it Professor Lupin didnt ansew MY question! I dont know why we are doing this! Why cant I use magic without a focus!? I've been doing pretty well without one!" Now Severus was mad,... well in fact he wasn't. He just couldnt be angry with her. Althought he hid it very well. "IN! NOW!" he roared. "Ok..... you dont have to be so mean" she mumbled. He just rolled his eyes and pushed her gently in.
"Oh! Severus Snape! Or shall I call you Professor Snape? It is nice to see you again!... Oak and dragon heartstring, twelve itches, very powerfull with curses, nice and supple, wasn't it?" asked Mr Ollivander excitedly. Severus just nodded and said "I come with her" pointing at a very annoyed Narya. "Oh! Yes! I finished yeaterday night. It was full moon. That will make it srtonger." "So that's why Professor Snape came instead" she though. But then realization hit her. "It is ready? No more stupid...emm..Im mean questions?" She asked eagerly. Mr Ollivander chuckled and nodded. He went to the back of his store and brought a small box. He opened and revealed a small silver bracelet with a colourless stone.
"The colour and shape will change once you put it on. It depends on what you are like." he explained. Narya nodded and asked "Can I put it on now?" Mr Ollivanders eyes darkened and nodded. "You may. But you do know what this implies, dont you?" She just stared quizzically at Severus. He sighed and said cooly "No, she doesnt. I haven't told her." And then added somehow ashamed "I was hoping she would chose not to wear it." At that, Narya frowned and asked "Why not?" "Because it will be a part of you forever. You wont be able to take it off once you put it on..."This time Mr Ollivander was the one to speak. "Oh....emm..ok" she replied simply. Severus sighed and shook his head. "It is your choice..."
Mr Ollivander took the bracelet out of the box and before putting it on her right hand he said to Snape "You may want to hold her other hand" At that Naryas' eyes widen and asked with a tinge of panic "Is this going to hurt?" Severus chuckled and said "After this Im gonna buy you and ice-cream." She let out a soft groan "This IS going to hurt like hell! You would never be so nice it it wasn't REALLY painful!" Snape smiled at her reasuringly and she was... surprised! She had never seen him smile! She felt.....warm. And to her utter confusion, he held her into a tight hug. Her right arm was the only part of her body left out.
"Ready?" Severus asked in the gentlest voice he could. Her trail of thought was broken and she nodded. As soon as Mr Ollivander put the bracelet on, it started glowing and a burning sensation took over her arm. The light getting brighter and brighter. The pain was getting unberable. Her eyes were squeezed. It was as if thousands and thousands of needles were pirecing her skin. All her body tensed and she felt Severus holding her tighter. She had never felt so much pain and never thought she would ever again. Though...she was wrong....But as soon as it began it endded.
Her muscles relaxed but her eyes were still closed. "Are you ok, Narya?" Severus asked. She nodded and smiled. "Yeah...nothing an ice-cream cannot cure!" she said in mock seriousness. He just rolled his eyes and chuckled.
***
She smiled at the thought, because he HAD actually bought an ice-cream to her.The stone had turned black and the silver parts were now shaped as two cobras. That had certainly syrprised Severus, althought he had been proud. Narya would have surely been sorted to Slytherin. She sighed. "Where are you?... I miss you already!" she thought saddly. "Surely he isn't even here! I was the one who touched the necklace.....The necklace!" She felt her neck with the hand and there it was..."How funny! I didnt put it on, did I?" She dissmissed the thought and got out of the bathtub. She dried and wrapped herself with the towel.
She opened the wardrobe and found it full of colourful dresses. She grimaced in disgust. Not that she didn't like dresses, they were like robes! But these dresses were packed with frills! She picked the simplest one, which was not plane at all. "Maybe some magic will do" she said to herself. She changed the pink dress into a plane black one. It had loose long sleeves and a few flowers and leaves embroied with silver threads. She examined her work satisfied and put it on.
KNOCK, KNOCK...
"God! Please let it not be him!" she begged her imaginary God. She opened the door and grimaced. "Hey! Im not happy either!" Legolas said. Narya rolled her eyes and walked pass him before he knew.Legolas sighed in exasperation and followed.
