Chapter Two
First Lesson
***********************Hogwarts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Arianna
I am doomed...
I was sitting at my desk in my classroom as my students filed in, looking at some suggested hexes for me to teach - let's just say that they WOULD NOT be allowed to test them on me OR each other.
I glanced up from the sheaf of paper to see that they had put their wands away and had only their books out.
"You can put the books away." I informed them, "You won't get anywhere reading incantations."
A few people looked rather relieved.
"I have been informed that in your fourth year you were taught ABOUT the Unforgivable Curses, and were also taught how to free yourselves from The Imperious Curse. Is this correct?"
Several hands went into the air.
"Neville. And from now on, you're alowed to speak without rasing your hands."
"Yes, Professor Black, that is correct." said Neville, "Also, Harry taught us Defense Against the Dark Arts last year, but the highest spell we learned was the Patronus Spell."
"Yes."
I noticed a boy in the back still had his hand in the air.
"Yes, Mr.-?"
"Kaiba." said the boy, "I would like to know how you qualify for this post when you are at least the same age as the rest of us."
"Actually, I'm YOUNGER than most of you, to be exact I'm fourteen. But I graduated from Durmstrang several years early." I said, causing several people to gape at me.
"And also, why do we have four hours with you, even though we don't have potions today?" asked Seto Kaiba.
"It is my, somewhat unfortunate, duty to teach y'all Defense Against the Dark arts AS WELL AS the Dark Arts." I replied, "Now, if we may begin-?"
The room remained silent.
"For the next month I will be teaching you how to use the three Unforgivable Curses." I started walking behind my desk to a cabinet, "I know this comes as a surprise, but Professor Dumbledore decided that you need to know how to use these in case you meet any Death Eaters."
I heard some strangled gasps.
"How are we supposed to practice these spells?" asked Harry.
"You will each tell me what manner of creature you despise the most, besides fellow students, professors, or myself and you will practice the spells on them." I replied taking several jars from the cabinet.
I heard Ron move his chair far away from my desk.
"Also, I will be bringing Boggarts in for you to practice the spells on."
I set a large jar of spiders on my desk.
"What about YOU?" asked Draco, "Can YOU cast the Unforgivable Curses?"
I took out my wand and took a spider out of the jar.
"IMPERIO." I said pointing at the spider.
The spider began swinging from desk to desk on a string of web and then stopped on Ron's desk and did a ridiculous dance.
"What about the other two?" drawled Draco.
I recalled the spider and replaced it. Then I turned back to my cabinet and pulled out a large black jar.
"What's in that?" asked Bakura.
"A Boggart." I replied and with a swoosh of my wand I moved everyone and their desks to the side of the room.
I released the Boggart, which promptly turned into an exact copy of Voldemort.
I saw several people fall off their chairs.
"Join meeee." hissed Boggart the Voldemort.
"CRUCIO!" I said.
There was a pause and then Boggart ala Voldemort fell to the ground and began screaming in agony.
Professor McGonagall burst into the room.
"What is-" started McGonagall, "Arianna, what are you doing?"
"Professor Dumbledore asked me to teach the Unforgivable Curses to the fifth and sixth years." I said, removing the hex from the boggart and putting back in the jar.
"Oh, well, do you have written approval?"
I sent the piece of paper flying towards her.
"Very well." she said and with that she left.
"Welllll?" drawled Draco.
I took the boggart out again, and again it transformed into Voldemort.
"AVADA KEDAVRA." I said, and green light flew from the wand and instead of hitting the Boggart it hit the jar of spiders, killing ALL of the spiders.
"What about the Boggart?" asked Moony.
"RIDDIKULUS." I said aiming at the boggart.
Several people burst out in laughter as the Voldemort Boggart's black robes changed into a VERY tight, hot pink body suit made out of vinyl with a low- cut neckline.
The boggart exploded.
"You seemed to enjoy that." remarked Marik who had somehow come to be sitting in my chair.
"I can tend to enjoy torturing someone or something I don't like." I said, "Now, if you would be so kind as to remove yourself from my chair-?"
He looked up at me with a sly look.
"Imperio." I said lazily.
A few people muttered.
"Ari, you feeling okay?" asked Moony.
Marik glared at me from halfway to his chair.
I grinned.
"Someone has had experience with this spell before." I remarked as I went to my cabinet.
"IMPERIO!" shouted Marik making me grin.
I let the spell hit me.
"WHAT THE HECK IS SHE DOING!?" yelled Jenny.
I didn't even feel the side effects of the spell, but could tell Marik was TRYING to summon me over to him. Which I obliged, keeping a straight face. (As you may have figured, I wasn't under control, after all, you aren't entirely stupid.)
I reached where he stood.
He was TRYING to get me to kiss him, which I WAS NOT going to oblige.
"Crucio!" I shouted, not really meaning it, thus it only sent him flying into the wall.
I gave him a malevolent grin and went back to my desk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Marik
SHE JUST USED THE CRUCIATUS CURSE ON ME!
"Now, as you can see, class, if you don't MEAN your curse, it doesn't work properly, though if anyone tries to make me kiss ANYONE I will see how you like being controlled." Arianna said as she went to her cabinet and brought out another jar of spiders.
"You never WERE under my control, were you, Arianna?" I asked.
"Quite right I wasn't." she replied.
"You wanted to kiss me though." I said, slyly.
She froze.
"You are in so much trouble." snickered Jenny.
Arianna turned to me, a murderous look in her eyes.
"Well?" I asked, "No clever come back? Or would is it as likely as you keeping a snake?"
"If it was a choice between you or the snake-" she started.
"You'd pick me?" I asked.
"-I'd pick the snake." she said making several people laugh, "Especially if it was a poisonous snake."
"Like what?" I asked.
"Egyptian cobra." she replied.
"If I got you one would you kiss me?" I asked.
"NO." she said, "Now, everyone, get a spider and practice the three curses on it using the Killing Curse last."
I positioned myself at the end of the line.
"ARI WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" yelled Erin from ahead, "YOU CAST THE CRUCIATUS CURSE ON HIM!!!!!"
"I know I did." she said.
"Ari, was he right?" asked Jenny.
"No." said Ari.
"$I wish I was in Thebes$." I heard Ari mutter in Ancient Egyptian.
"$Do you like hot weather$?" I asked her as I reached her desk and stole her chair again.
"$Is there anything I know that you DON'T know$?" she asked me exasperatedly as she strolled along the students correcting things here and there.
"$Probably not$." I said.
"$Pity$." she said.
"$Aww, now you've hurt my feelings$." I said as she came back to her desk and produced a lazy boy chair for herself.
"$Good$." she muttered irritably.
"$You don't MEAN that, do you$?" I asked her.
"$If you say one more thing amongst these lines I will use the Cruciatus Curse on you$." she muttered, "Ron, it's 'IMPERIO', not 'IMPERIOSO'."
I began playing with Arianna's hair, which obviously irritated her further.
"$You are beautiful, did you know that$?" I asked her leaning closer to her.
"$No$," she said, much to my surprise, "$I didn't$."
"$You're joking, right$?" I asked, shocked.
"$No$." she said, "$My mother always said that, one, I was more brains than beauty and that two, I looked too much like my father whom she never forgot to say was ugly at least once a day. Now, would you please help me with the class? After all, you DO know the three curses as well as I$."
"Alright." I said standing up and going over to the Gryffindor half of the class.
***********************Later that night, abandoned classroom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Harry
"What is it now?" I asked as Ari glared at the Evening Prophet.
"New Death Eaters." she said disgustedly, throwing the newspaper down on the table, "Ishizu Ishtar and Noah Kaiba."
"MY SISTER?!" yelped Marik.
"It would seem so." shrugged Ari.
"You don't seem bothered." I said.
"Oh, I am, I'm just as tired as tired can be right now." said Ari, covering a yawn.
"Well, I can't blame you." said Rose Thorn, a Slytherin with a crush on Bakura.
"Me neither." added Yuki Kaida, a Gryffindor with a crush on Seto Kaiba.
"Ari, what is the formulae for a vampire repellent?" asked Erin.
Ari went white. As did Marik.
"Platinum and-" started Ari.
"And unicorn blood." finished Marik.
Everyone but Ari stared at Marik.
"Arianna isn't the only vampire here, you know." said Marik pointedly.
"W-ell," yawned Ari, "I may be a vampire, but I'm still tired even at night."
"Why won't you go to your room then?" I asked.
"Because I'm working on an idea for an amulet that would guide you around the worlds in the Archway of the Beginning and the End." replied Ari as she stifled another yawn.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because, Dumbledore asked me to." she replied, "And I need to have it for him tomorrow."
"Harry, Yuki, Rose, Erin and Jenny." called Hermione, opening the classroom door.
"Huh?" asked Yuki.
"We're needed in the Great Hall." said Hermione.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ari
I watched as everyone but myself and Marik left.
"Sooooo, what are you casting on the amulet?" asked Marik.
"Spells." I said sarcastically, NOT very happy that he'd come over to sit beside me.
"I know that, but what kind of spells?"
"Ancient Egyptian ones."
"That doesn't help."
"It's not supposed to."
He remained silent for a while.
"Why do you hate me?" he asked after a while.
If I had been sitting on a chair I would of fallen off of it.
"What do you mean 'Why do I hate you'?" I asked him.
"You seem to hate me."
"If I hated you you'd of felt the Cruciatus Curse." I informed him.
"That doesn't help either."
"It was supposed to, though."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"I don't believe you."
"Well, I don't believe what you said about me being beautiful."
"Do you want me to agree with you then?"
I opened and closed my mouth a few times at that, then just decided to keep my mouth shut from now on.
"Well?"
I continued to look through a book.
"/I/ like you even if YOU don't like ME." he said.
I wasn't really reading the book after that, but pretending to.
"I wonder," he muttered, "If I used the Imperius Curse on you now, while you're tired, would I be able to control you?"
"YOU WOULDN'T DARE." I said, looking up at him abruptly.
He grinned.
"You sure about that?" he asked.
"Bite me." I muttered irritably.
"Can't. You're already a vampire."
"Oh, put a sock in it, Ishtar." I snapped.
"Ooo, touchy, touchy." he said.
"I AM trying to concentrate on this you know." I said, hefting the book up.
Big mistake.
He grabbed the book a tossed it across the room.
"Oh, I'm sorry, was that book important?" he asked, innocently.
I took a deep breath to control my temper then got up to retrieve the book.
He said something - but I didn't catch it.
"ARIANNA." he said, "I'm talking to you."
"Talk to the hand." I snapped getting my book and perching on a rafter in the ceiling.
"Ohh, now that was cruel." he said.
"Cruel is my middle name." I muttered darkly, "If you say one more thing to me, I will use the Cruciatus Curse on you and you will most definatly feel it."
"You wouldn't do that HERE would you?"
I decided it was - again - time to keep my mouth shut.
I heard Marik yelp in pain.
I looked over the rafter to see Marik clutching his arm, and see him pull his sleeve up to show the Dark Mark.
"YOU'RE a DEATH EATER?" I asked as I jumped to the classroom floor.
"Was." he corrected.
"Humph. Why should I believe you?" I asked.
He seemed a bit hurt by the question.
"Arianna, I'm sure you have your best intentions in mind," said a voice behind me, "But Marik has my trust."
"Professor Dumbledore." I acknowledged.
"And Marik, I would highly suggest you stop harassing Arianna." added Dumbledore.
"Now, Arianna, what have you come up with?"
"I think that this amulet will work." I replied holding up a brass disk up, "I've cast several spells on it, so, it should work."
"Who do you think should go through the arch to retrieve Harry's parents and Sirius?"
"HARRY'S PARENTS?" I asked, astounded.
"Yes, after they died, I made an order for them to be put through the archway."
"Uh, well..." I muttered thinking.
"How about me, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Jenny, Erin, Bakura, Rose, Yuki, Yami, Seto and Joey?" suggested Marik.
I was about to say "What about me?" but decided against it.
"Arianna will go along as well." said Dumbledore.
"Oh yes, of COURSE." said Marik.
"I guess I ought to make twelve more of these." I remarked and got twelve more brass disks out of my bag.
"I will tell the others to meet you in your office at nine am tomorrow." said Dumbledore as he got to his feet.
"WELL NOW," said Marik, "What shall I bring with me, PROFESSOR BLACK?"
"Whatever you think is necessary." I replied glaring at him.
"You know, Voldemort speaks rather highly of you."
"Oh, my," I said pretending to be flattered, "Please, don't say anymore, you'll make me blush."
I batted my eyes at him.
He winced.
"I should of known."
"You should of known what?" I asked, as I began punching hieroglyphs into a disk.
"That you'd be sarcastic about that."
"No duh." I muttered, "Now would you please leave me alone?"
"No."
"Grrr, *******."
He gaped at me.
"What's the matter, no COMEBACK?"
"Crucio!" he shouted.
Unfortunately, I didn't block the curse in time.
I let out a scream of pain as I fell to the floor, writhing.
Marik lifted the curse.
"You're not as tough as I thought." he said as he crouched down next to me.
I couldn't say anything because I was still in quite a bit of pain.
"You act all tough, but in the end, you are human."
"In a manner of speaking." I said.
"Crucio." he said lazily.
This time I hurt A LOT WORSE.
"You know," Marik said as he lifted the curse again, "If you really didn't hate me before, you will most definatly hate me now."
"CRUCIO!" I yelled.
Marik was only shoved back a few feet.
He smirked.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." he sighed, "Crucio."
Oh, I wished he'd just kill me.
He lifted the curse.
I tried to raise my head but I couldn't raise it more than three inches off the floor.
"Now," said Marik as he knelt in front of me, "How are you feeling?"
I made a noise somewhat like a disgusted snort.
He his fingers under my chin and lifted my head.
"I'm surprised," he said thoughtfully, "You SHOULD be delirious."
I snorted.
"If I cast the curse on you again, you will die." he remarked.
I gave him a look.
"A good-bye kiss is required, I think." he said.
He pressed his lips swiftly to mine and then let go of my chin and stood up.
"Crucio!"
I screamed and then I blacked out.
***********************Next morning...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Arianna
"Is she alive?" asked a voice, Jenny.
"Yes, she's breathing." said another, which sounded like Professor Dumbledore.
"What do you think happened?" asked another voice, Erin.
"Ohhh." I groaned and rolled onto my back.
"ARI!" cried Jenny and Erin.
"What happened?" asked Professor Dumbledore.
"Marik." I said.
"Yes?" asked the kinieving sneak.
"HE used the Cruciatus Curse on me." I said.
"We knew something must have happened, after all, you weren't in your office at nine." said Jenny, "Now, what happened?"
"I JUST TOLD YOU!" I yelled.
"Come now, why would I use the Cruciatus Curse on YOU?" asked Marik.
"~!@#$%^&*()~!@#$%^&*()~!@#$%^&*()~!@#$%^&*()~!@#$%^&*()!"
Everyone gaped at me.
"Are you sure it was Marik?" asked Professor Dumbledore, who didn't seem disturbed by my outburst.
"YES." I said, "You ordered Marik to stop harassing me last night, remember?"
Marik AND Dumbledore both looked confused.
"I didn't speak to you last night." said Dumbledore.
"WHAT?" I asked.
"The only thing I remember about last night is you lying on the floor with a pained look on your face, me kissing you good-night and you looking livid."
"You KISSED her?" drawled Erin.
"Oh, shut-up." I muttered, then had an idea.
I tried to get out of my very uncomfortable position.
"Do you have the Dark Mark?" I asked Marik as I syrugled to get up.
"WHAT?" asked Marik, "Of course not."
I reached up and dragged Marik to the floor and was about to shove his sleeves up.
"Here." he said, and with that he took his shirt off.
I gritted my teeth, irritated. (Because I had thought he'd look hot with his shirt off. Which he did, by the way. *drool*)
"Only marks I have are the hieroglyphs on my back." he said.
"Then..." I choked, now rather unnerved, "Then the person I saw last night was a Death Eater being you... and so was the Dumbledore I saw."
Marik put a hand to my forehead.
"She doesn't have a fever, so I don't think she was hallucinating. It could have been my sister..."
I made a face.
"How many times did 'I' kiss you?"
"Once." I replied, "A 'kiss good-bye'."
"Well, /I/ only remember kissing you once, so you were imagining the words."
"Was imagining the last time 'you' used the Cruciatus Curse on me?"
"No, you weren't." said Dumbledore.
"Well, we have a rescue mission to accomplish." I said, trying to get to my feet again.
"Are you up to it?" asked Marik.
"Of course I'm up to it!" I said, still trying to get up.
"Yeaaaah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight." he said, offering a hand to help me up.
"Thanks." I said as he pulled me to my feet, "I finished the amulets, they should work."
"Alright, the Port Key is in your office, amongst other things you will need." said Dumbledore.
"Thank you." I said as me, Marik, Jenny and Erin made our way to my office.
"Aren't you going to put your shirt back on?" I asked Marik irritably after we'd walked up four floors without him putting his shirt on.
"Nah, I'm comfortable like this." he replied.
"Are you trying to scar her mind?" asked Erin, "Or find out if she likes you?"
I rolled my eyes and made a mental note to tell her not to play matchmaker.
"Ohhh, I like the sound of the latter." said Marik.
At that I tripped on a stair.
"What's the matter, ARI?" asked Erin innocently.
"NOTHING." I said and made my way up the stairs.
"Bonnie, are you alright?" asked Rose as I entered my office.
"Ohh, just peachy, after ALL, I ONLY had the Cruciatus Curse cast on me FIVE TIMES." I replied, handing everyone an amulet.
"WHAT?" asked Harry.
"Two Death Eaters got into the school one posed as Marik the other as Dumbledore." I said.
"But how-?" gaped Yuki.
"I don't know, but I would like to get this mission over, so if we may-?" I said.
"Alright." said Hermione.
We all placed a hand on the enormous Port Key (a quaffle). And the uncomfortable sensation of being pulled took affect.
"Ow." muttered Jenny whom had landed on her rear-end on the floor.
"If it hurts those who aren't hurt, how are we supposed to go through?" asked Ron.
"That's where I come in." I said, rummaging around in my cloak.
I pulled a rather nasty knife out.
"What are you going to do with THAT?" asked Harry.
In response, I slashed everyone in quick succession with the knife.
"Ah!" gasped Ron.
I slashed myself.
"Now, these gashes ARE lethal, so if we shall?" I asked.
"Alright." said Harry.
I turned and faced the arch.
"Let's go then." I said, taking out my amulet and jumping through the arch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Harry
"Where are we?" I asked.
"It's an in-between world." replied Ari.
"What do we do know?" asked Hermione.
"Take hold of your amulet and say the name of the person we're trying to find." Ari replied.
"Who do we go after first?" I asked.
"I go after your parents. You go after my father." replied Ari, "Erin, Jenny, Marik, Yami, and Joey are with me."
"Alright." I said.
"See ya later!" called Joey.
"Lily and James Potter!" the six of them shouted.
"Sirius Black!" I yelled in unison with Hermione, Ron, Yuki, Seto, Rose and Bakura.

I am doomed...

"If it was a choice between you or the snake-" she started.
"You'd pick me?" I asked.
"-I'd pick the snake." she said making several people laugh, "Especially if it was a poisonous snake."
"Like what?" I asked.
"Egyptian cobra." she replied.
"If I got you one would you kiss me?" I asked.
"NO." she said, "Now, everyone, get a spider and practice the three curses on it using the Killing Curse last."
I positioned myself at the end of the line.
"ARI WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" yelled Erin from ahead, "YOU CAST THE CRUCIATUS CURSE ON HIM!!!!!"
"I know I did." she said.
"Ari, was he right?" asked Jenny.
"No." said Ari.
"$I wish I was in Thebes$." I heard Ari mutter in Ancient Egyptian.
"$Do you like hot weather$?" I asked her as I reached her desk and stole her chair again.
"$Is there anything I know that you DON'T know$?" she asked me exasperatedly as she strolled along the students correcting things here and there.
"$Probably not$." I said.
"$Pity$." she said.
"$Aww, now you've hurt my feelings$." I said as she came back to her desk and produced a lazy boy chair for herself.
"$Good$." she muttered irritably.
"$You don't MEAN that, do you$?" I asked her.
"$If you say one more thing amongst these lines I will use the Cruciatus Curse on you$." she muttered, "Ron, it's 'IMPERIO', not 'IMPERIOSO'."
I began playing with Arianna's hair, which obviously irritated her further.
"$You are beautiful, did you know that$?" I asked her leaning closer to her.
"$No$," she said, much to my surprise, "$I didn't$."
"$You're joking, right$?" I asked, shocked.
"$No$." she said, "$My mother always said that, one, I was more brains than beauty and that two, I looked too much like my father whom she never forgot to say was ugly at least once a day. Now, would you please help me with the class? After all, you DO know the three curses as well as I$."
"Alright." I said standing up and going over to the Gryffindor half of the class.
***********************Later that night, abandoned classroom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Harry
"What is it now?" I asked as Ari glared at the Evening Prophet.
"New Death Eaters." she said disgustedly, throwing the newspaper down on the table, "Ishizu Ishtar and Noah Kaiba."
"MY SISTER?!" yelped Marik.
"It would seem so." shrugged Ari.
"You don't seem bothered." I said.
"Oh, I am, I'm just as tired as tired can be right now." said Ari, covering a yawn.
"Well, I can't blame you." said Rose Thorn, a Slytherin with a crush on Bakura.
"Me neither." added Yuki Kaida, a Gryffindor with a crush on Seto Kaiba.
"Ari, what is the formulae for a vampire repellent?" asked Erin.
Ari went white. As did Marik.
"Platinum and-" started Ari.
"And unicorn blood." finished Marik.
Everyone but Ari stared at Marik.
"Arianna isn't the only vampire here, you know." said Marik pointedly.
"W-ell," yawned Ari, "I may be a vampire, but I'm still tired even at night."
"Why won't you go to your room then?" I asked.
"Because I'm working on an idea for an amulet that would guide you around the worlds in the Archway of the Beginning and the End." replied Ari as she stifled another yawn.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because, Dumbledore asked me to." she replied, "And I need to have it for him tomorrow."
"Harry, Yuki, Rose, Erin and Jenny." called Hermione, opening the classroom door.
"Huh?" asked Yuki.
"We're needed in the Great Hall." said Hermione.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ari
I watched as everyone but myself and Marik left.
"Sooooo, what are you casting on the amulet?" asked Marik.
"Spells." I said sarcastically, NOT very happy that he'd come over to sit beside me.
"I know that, but what kind of spells?"
"Ancient Egyptian ones."
"That doesn't help."
"It's not supposed to."
He remained silent for a while.
"Why do you hate me?" he asked after a while.
If I had been sitting on a chair I would of fallen off of it.
"What do you mean 'Why do I hate you'?" I asked him.
"You seem to hate me."
"If I hated you you'd of felt the Cruciatus Curse." I informed him.
"That doesn't help either."
"It was supposed to, though."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"I don't believe you."
"Well, I don't believe what you said about me being beautiful."
"Do you want me to agree with you then?"
I opened and closed my mouth a few times at that, then just decided to keep my mouth shut from now on.
"Well?"
I continued to look through a book.
"/I/ like you even if YOU don't like ME." he said.
I wasn't really reading the book after that, but pretending to.
"I wonder," he muttered, "If I used the Imperius Curse on you now, while you're tired, would I be able to control you?"
"YOU WOULDN'T DARE." I said, looking up at him abruptly.
He grinned.
"You sure about that?" he asked.
"Bite me." I muttered irritably.
"Can't. You're already a vampire."
"Oh, put a sock in it, Ishtar." I snapped.
"Ooo, touchy, touchy." he said.
"I AM trying to concentrate on this you know." I said, hefting the book up.
Big mistake.
He grabbed the book a tossed it across the room.
"Oh, I'm sorry, was that book important?" he asked, innocently.
I took a deep breath to control my temper then got up to retrieve the book.
He said something - but I didn't catch it.
"ARIANNA." he said, "I'm talking to you."
"Talk to the hand." I snapped getting my book and perching on a rafter in the ceiling.
"Ohh, now that was cruel." he said.
"Cruel is my middle name." I muttered darkly, "If you say one more thing to me, I will use the Cruciatus Curse on you and you will most definatly feel it."
"You wouldn't do that HERE would you?"
I decided it was - again - time to keep my mouth shut.
I heard Marik yelp in pain.
I looked over the rafter to see Marik clutching his arm, and see him pull his sleeve up to show the Dark Mark.
"YOU'RE a DEATH EATER?" I asked as I jumped to the classroom floor.
"Was." he corrected.
"Humph. Why should I believe you?" I asked.
He seemed a bit hurt by the question.
"Arianna, I'm sure you have your best intentions in mind," said a voice behind me, "But Marik has my trust."
"Professor Dumbledore." I acknowledged.
"And Marik, I would highly suggest you stop harassing Arianna." added Dumbledore.
"Now, Arianna, what have you come up with?"
"I think that this amulet will work." I replied holding up a brass disk up, "I've cast several spells on it, so, it should work."
"Who do you think should go through the arch to retrieve Harry's parents and Sirius?"
"HARRY'S PARENTS?" I asked, astounded.
"Yes, after they died, I made an order for them to be put through the archway."
"Uh, well..." I muttered thinking.
"How about me, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Jenny, Erin, Bakura, Rose, Yuki, Yami, Seto and Joey?" suggested Marik.
I was about to say "What about me?" but decided against it.
"Arianna will go along as well." said Dumbledore.
"Oh yes, of COURSE." said Marik.
"I guess I ought to make twelve more of these." I remarked and got twelve more brass disks out of my bag.
"I will tell the others to meet you in your office at nine am tomorrow." said Dumbledore as he got to his feet.
"WELL NOW," said Marik, "What shall I bring with me, PROFESSOR BLACK?"
"Whatever you think is necessary." I replied glaring at him.
"You know, Voldemort speaks rather highly of you."
"Oh, my," I said pretending to be flattered, "Please, don't say anymore, you'll make me blush."
I batted my eyes at him.
He winced.
"I should of known."
"You should of known what?" I asked, as I began punching hieroglyphs into a disk.
"That you'd be sarcastic about that."
"No duh." I muttered, "Now would you please leave me alone?"
"No."
"Grrr, *******."
He gaped at me.
"What's the matter, no COMEBACK?"
"Crucio!" he shouted.
Unfortunately, I didn't block the curse in time.
I let out a scream of pain as I fell to the floor, writhing.
Marik lifted the curse.
"You're not as tough as I thought." he said as he crouched down next to me.
I couldn't say anything because I was still in quite a bit of pain.
"You act all tough, but in the end, you are human."
"In a manner of speaking." I said.
"Crucio." he said lazily.
This time I hurt A LOT WORSE.
"You know," Marik said as he lifted the curse again, "If you really didn't hate me before, you will most definatly hate me now."
"CRUCIO!" I yelled.
Marik was only shoved back a few feet.
He smirked.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." he sighed, "Crucio."
Oh, I wished he'd just kill me.
He lifted the curse.
I tried to raise my head but I couldn't raise it more than three inches off the floor.
"Now," said Marik as he knelt in front of me, "How are you feeling?"
I made a noise somewhat like a disgusted snort.
He his fingers under my chin and lifted my head.
"I'm surprised," he said thoughtfully, "You SHOULD be delirious."
I snorted.
"If I cast the curse on you again, you will die." he remarked.
I gave him a look.
"A good-bye kiss is required, I think." he said.
He pressed his lips swiftly to mine and then let go of my chin and stood up.
"Crucio!"
I screamed and then I blacked out.
***********************Next morning...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Arianna
"Is she alive?" asked a voice, Jenny.
"Yes, she's breathing." said another, which sounded like Professor Dumbledore.
"What do you think happened?" asked another voice, Erin.
"Ohhh." I groaned and rolled onto my back.
"ARI!" cried Jenny and Erin.
"What happened?" asked Professor Dumbledore.
"Marik." I said.
"Yes?" asked the kinieving sneak.
"HE used the Cruciatus Curse on me." I said.
"We knew something must have happened, after all, you weren't in your office at nine." said Jenny, "Now, what happened?"
"I JUST TOLD YOU!" I yelled.
"Come now, why would I use the Cruciatus Curse on YOU?" asked Marik.
"~!@#$%^&*()~!@#$%^&*()~!@#$%^&*()~!@#$%^&*()~!@#$%^&*()!"
Everyone gaped at me.
"Are you sure it was Marik?" asked Professor Dumbledore, who didn't seem disturbed by my outburst.
"YES." I said, "You ordered Marik to stop harassing me last night, remember?"
Marik AND Dumbledore both looked confused.
"I didn't speak to you last night." said Dumbledore.
"WHAT?" I asked.
"The only thing I remember about last night is you lying on the floor with a pained look on your face, me kissing you good-night and you looking livid."
"You KISSED her?" drawled Erin.
"Oh, shut-up." I muttered, then had an idea.
I tried to get out of my very uncomfortable position.
"Do you have the Dark Mark?" I asked Marik as I syrugled to get up.
"WHAT?" asked Marik, "Of course not."
I reached up and dragged Marik to the floor and was about to shove his sleeves up.
"Here." he said, and with that he took his shirt off.
I gritted my teeth, irritated. (Because I had thought he'd look hot with his shirt off. Which he did, by the way. *drool*)
"Only marks I have are the hieroglyphs on my back." he said.
"Then..." I choked, now rather unnerved, "Then the person I saw last night was a Death Eater being you... and so was the Dumbledore I saw."
Marik put a hand to my forehead.
"She doesn't have a fever, so I don't think she was hallucinating. It could have been my sister..."
I made a face.
"How many times did 'I' kiss you?"
"Once." I replied, "A 'kiss good-bye'."
"Well, /I/ only remember kissing you once, so you were imagining the words."
"Was imagining the last time 'you' used the Cruciatus Curse on me?"
"No, you weren't." said Dumbledore.
"Well, we have a rescue mission to accomplish." I said, trying to get to my feet again.
"Are you up to it?" asked Marik.
"Of course I'm up to it!" I said, still trying to get up.
"Yeaaaah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight." he said, offering a hand to help me up.
"Thanks." I said as he pulled me to my feet, "I finished the amulets, they should work."
"Alright, the Port Key is in your office, amongst other things you will need." said Dumbledore.
"Thank you." I said as me, Marik, Jenny and Erin made our way to my office.
"Aren't you going to put your shirt back on?" I asked Marik irritably after we'd walked up four floors without him putting his shirt on.
"Nah, I'm comfortable like this." he replied.
"Are you trying to scar her mind?" asked Erin, "Or find out if she likes you?"
I rolled my eyes and made a mental note to tell her not to play matchmaker.
"Ohhh, I like the sound of the latter." said Marik.
At that I tripped on a stair.
"What's the matter, ARI?" asked Erin innocently.
"NOTHING." I said and made my way up the stairs.
"Bonnie, are you alright?" asked Rose as I entered my office.
"Ohh, just peachy, after ALL, I ONLY had the Cruciatus Curse cast on me FIVE TIMES." I replied, handing everyone an amulet.
"WHAT?" asked Harry.
"Two Death Eaters got into the school one posed as Marik the other as Dumbledore." I said.
"But how-?" gaped Yuki.
"I don't know, but I would like to get this mission over, so if we may-?" I said.
"Alright." said Hermione.
We all placed a hand on the enormous Port Key (a quaffle). And the uncomfortable sensation of being pulled took affect.
"Ow." muttered Jenny whom had landed on her rear-end on the floor.
"If it hurts those who aren't hurt, how are we supposed to go through?" asked Ron.
"That's where I come in." I said, rummaging around in my cloak.
I pulled a rather nasty knife out.
"What are you going to do with THAT?" asked Harry.
In response, I slashed everyone in quick succession with the knife.
"Ah!" gasped Ron.
I slashed myself.
"Now, these gashes ARE lethal, so if we shall?" I asked.
"Alright." said Harry.
I turned and faced the arch.
"Let's go then." I said, taking out my amulet and jumping through the arch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Harry
"Where are we?" I asked.
"It's an in-between world." replied Ari.
"What do we do know?" asked Hermione.
"Take hold of your amulet and say the name of the person we're trying to find." Ari replied.
"Who do we go after first?" I asked.
"I go after your parents. You go after my father." replied Ari, "Erin, Jenny, Marik, Yami, and Joey are with me."
"Alright." I said.
"See ya later!" called Joey.
"Lily and James Potter!" the six of them shouted.
"Sirius Black!" I yelled in unison with Hermione, Ron, Yuki, Seto, Rose and Bakura.
