The Four Heirs
(A/N: Sorry it's been so longs since I updated. I just haven't been able to find the time; well it's good to be back and writing. Again sadly...I don't own Harry Potter J.K.Rowling does!)
Chapter Five: Speechless
It was getting near Halloween, a couple weeks after the incident with the Lewd Banshee, and the ghost named Fate. Everything died down besides, Seamus wincing whenever he saw Harry, and Ron and Hermione would get jumpy whenever Ceres would say something. The Gryffindor students were going to Divination today, like they did once every two weeks, since it wasn't an important subject for seventh years.
So Harry and Ron went up the stares feeling quite dizzy like normal when they went to Divination. "Why the hell do we even go? Hermione doesn't." Harry asked Ron who was stomping his way up the stares. "I have no clue; I suppose to make fun of Trelawney." Ron shortly said his patience running out. "Finally." They both said as they reached the silver ladder. They both went up after the rest of the students, Ron and Harry flopped themselves down in bean bag chairs.
"Hell, Ceres doesn't even go to this class." Harry said to Ron. Ron laughed, "Hermione and Ceres are too alike, and did Ceres storm out of the room like Hermione did?" Harry nodded his head a yes, beads of sweat running down his forehead since it was over ninety degrees in the room with the fires blazing. Ron laughed loudly; he was hushed by Professor Trelawney.
"Welcome seventh years, my assistant should be here in precisely two minutes so we'll wait for her to get here." She said smiling at the sweating students. She then looked at Harry and frowned she sauntered over to his table. "Dear Harry, if you do not erase your feelings for an old love..." Professor Trelawney stopped and looked around like someone was watching, "you will make Fate kill her." She whispered.
Harry looked at her and wiped the beads of sweet off of his face, "Fate already informed me about this. I don't need to here it from you." He said shortly. Professor Trelawney covered her mouth and moved to her doorway. Like she was hurt for life about Harry's comment. A person with jet black hair came up and Trelawney welcomed her, "Oh Welcome Miss Chang! You're right on time, I new you were coming at this moment." Professor Trelawney said smartly.
Cho Chang came through the little opening, Harry shrugged his shoulders when Ron tapped him and pointed near Cho. He went back looking through his Divination book, "Divination isn't magic. It's a guessing game. Just like Hermione said." Harry said thumbing through his book. Cho smiling at the class and introduced herself, covering the fact that she was upset that the first day she was an assistant to Trelawney, Harry was ignoring her. The only reason she took the job because she wanted to see Harry again. It was her fault she dumped him in the first place, and she wanted him back badly.
"Mr. Potter, please bring you attention to Miss Chang." Trelawney said opening her arms like she was about to hug someone. Her magnified eyes were starring exactly at Harry. Harry looked up and looked at Cho, wishing he wasn't here listening to all this crap. "This is bull." Harry muttered under breath to Ron. Ron nodded nodding off almost to sleep. "I know." Ron muttered back at Harry.
Harry poked the orb that sat at the table, trying to knock it off of its holder. When Cho stopped talking away to the class about how she loved Divination and missed it so badly that she wanted to come back and help, they got to read tea leaves like they did in the third year.
"Yours is a horse." Harry said out of boredom about Ron's cup. Cho swooped over Harry looking at Ron's cup, "Not it's not, and it's a unicorn." Cho said smartly showing off. "Same freaking thing." Harry said slumping down in his bean bag chair. "Yours is something deformed." Ron said in monologue tone as Harry's. Cho looked at Harry's cup and smiled, "It's a women, some one is important in your life." She said like she was Harry's important woman. Harry ignored her and sighed poking the clump at the bottom of his cup.
"It probably stands for Brooke." Ron said tongue clucking. Harry smiled at the mention of Brooke's name. "Brooke is very important in my life," he said going a little red. Ron nodded, "Brooke is after all the one you're going to be with for the rest of your life." He said wisely, trying to act sophisticated. "Cut it out Ron." Harry said and pushed Ron off of his bean bag chair.
When Divination was over the two boys raised down the stares to meet Hermione who greeted them with information, "I researched the prophecy that you're in Harry. The people before you anyways, every single time they failed. (Mostly because the heirs didn't get along at all and didn't care about dieing.) I read that one time everything was absolutely perfect and all four of them loved there pair, but a member of the Ravenclaw family and a member of Slytherin loved each other; concluding to all four of heirs died. I also read that the Slytherin and Ravenclaw families have to be enemies or four heirs will die." She said quickly filling the boy's heads.
"Well that's no problem, the Angstrom family is known for being Auror's and are always fighting against He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and his Deatheaters." Ron yawned and stretched his arms and laid one around Hermione's shoulder, Hermione pushed his arms off of her shoulder and gave him a look and then turned to Harry. "Yes but Harry, you told me that there relationship is going very slow, Draco and Ceres' relationship anyways." Hermione said biting the end of her pen.
Harry sighed looking up at the ceiling, he shoved his hands in his pockets. "There relationship is going very slow, the only time I've actually seen them together and alone is in Draco's bedroom." Hermione shrugged and put the pen behind her ear, "Who knows what they do in there. Changing the subject how are the ghosts anyways?" Hermione asked looking up at Harry.
"We haven't seen them since the first day we arrived," Harry replied with little care. "Oh hey Brooke." Ron said as Brooke latched onto Harry's waist. "Hey Ron, Hermione." She said smiling clutching onto to Harry. "Oh Hermione, do you remember Cho Chang?" Ron grinned trying to stir up problems. Hermione nodded, "She was in D.A with us, and she liked Harry." She said smartly.
Brooke looked up at Harry holding tighter on him, "I can't breathe Brooke." Harry gasped. "Well, she's back and she's Trelawney's helper." Ron grinned evilly. Brooke's grip when tighter on Harry like if she let go he'll go flying back into Cho's arms, "Harry your not going to leave me are you?" she said tears swelling up in her eyes. "No, wouldn't dream of it Brooke. Can you loosen your grip? You're crushing my rib cage." Harry gasped.
Brooke let go of Harry, still not satisfied with his answer she looked down and wiped the tears from her eyes. Harry glared at Ron and side hugged Brooke, "Come on Brooke," Harry said not knowing what to say. Brooke looked up at Harry with her saddest eyes; she looked like a little kid lost in a forest looking for her Mom. Harry picked Brooke up and her head rested on the back of his neck looking backwards at Hermione and Ron.
Brooke winked at Hermione, and Hermione gave Brooke thumbs up. Ron's mouth dropped to the floor, he pointed and stuttered at Brooke. Hermione laughed and dragged Ron to the common room. Brooke nuzzled against Harry's neck. "Seriously Harry, your not going to try something with that girl are you?" she spoke her voice hinting jealously. Harry smiled as they went up the stares to there common room, a couple passerby fourth year girls giggled and a couple said, "I wish my boyfriend was that nice."
As they came to the door of there dormitory Harry said the password, "Die Malfoy-the-git." Harry changed it this morning, just to get even with Malfoy. They entered the room and Brooke almost screamed bloody murder and jumped right out of Harry's arms, "What the..." Harry said and looked around. There stood the four ghosts and Brooke's, Draco's and Ceres' parents. "I hurt my ankle." Brooke said blushing beat red giving an excuse for Harry carrying her.
"Nice password Potter." Draco said simply looking mad as usual. "Yes it explains all the colors of you Malfoy." Harry said casually stirring up more anger in Draco. Draco was going to strike back and say something nasty at Harry but Helga broke in. "Boys please don't fight," Helga said in a pleading voice. Harry looked at Draco and scowled flopping down in an armchair. "We thought it would be nice to get all the parents together." Helga said smiling looking at the children who were all scowling on the couches and chairs.
"Well its obvious...they do not want us here." Rowena said sitting down and sipping ghostly wine. Helga looked hurt and Godric sighed, "Don't rub it in. Where is Salazar?" Godric asked. "Where I wanna be, out of this room." Draco muttered hating the appearance of his parents sitting there noses stuck up in the air.
There was the awkward silence between the parents, teens, and the three ghosts. Ceres sat in a arm chair head down like someone died, Harry head back and was looking up at the ceiling like he was dieing, Brooke nervously tapped her foot, and Draco sat straight as a board looking directly at his father and mother.
"Are you Ceres' parents?" Brooke's mother asked the old couple trying to break the silence in the room, the two chuckled, "Oh no, we're just her Grandparents, we've raised her since she was seven." The lady said smiling she has soft gray hair and warm blue eyes, she had the aura of sweetness and happiness and she reminded Harry of Mrs. Weasley.
Rowena nodded her head, "Harry where are your parents?" she asked. "Dead." Harry said blankly. "Guardian?" she asked. "Dead." Harry said again this time even more unemotional but a hint of pain and sorrow. "Do you have any magical relatives Harry?" Brooke's mother asked. Harry looked up at her raising his eyebrow, "No, I live with my muggle aunt and uncle with there son." Harry said scowling at the mention of his cousin. Harry sat next to Draco to sit in the circle and parents.
"You sure aren't updated on things; everyone knows that Patronus Potter here only lives with muggles." Lucius said lip curling. Harry turned beat red with anger his lips turning white and thinned out, he felt someone elbow him. "Stop it; he's trying to get a rise out of you." Draco hissed covering his mouth and then coughed.
"Exactly what is the purpose of you being here?" Ceres said staring at the three ghosts she started up again, "Do you wish to torture us slowly by this damned silence or tell us something important that we must know, because I have better things to do here than just sit in silence."
Narcissa snorted at Ceres' remark and slyly remarked, "Dear me, are you always this arrogant?" Ceres piercing cold blue eyes looked at Narcissa, "Shut the hell up, you shouldn't talk. They way you hold your head up so high, boasting that you married into the Malfoy family; it's absolutely disgusting." Ceres snapped at Narcissa.
"Miss Angstrom! That is no way to treat a guest!" Helga barked swooping down at Ceres, there faces inches apart. Ceres' lip curled, "My apologies Mrs. Malfoy, for saying the truth." She said and went to her room slamming the door behind her. Draco sighed and slouched in his chair and tilted his head back closing his eyes.
"Oh don't worry about her; she has her bad days and good days. Orion probably got on her nerves this morning making the rest of her day miserable. He does that sometimes." Mr. Angstrom said chuckling to himself rubbing his mustache. Lucius looked at Mr. Angstrom sharply and sat back sipping his wine, "You allow your granddaughter speak rudely to adults? Are you sure you're raising her properly like a young lady? I would never let my son speak that way," he said slyly and then looked at his son and snarled "Sit up straight you're slouching."
"I got to get out of here," Harry whispered looking out the window at the clear blue sky, tapping his fingers against the arm of the couch. "I have a Quidditch meeting that's in twenty minutes, so I really must be going." He lied looking at all the people that sat on the couches he got up and escaped through the door. "I have to meet with my friend Chelsea, I'm so sorry I totally forgot about it! It was being planned for a weak, so-so sorry! It was nice seeing you mum! We were supposed to meet five minutes ago!" Brooke wailed looking at the clock she hurried and kissed her mother and rushed out the door grabbing her sack.
Brooke rushed down the stairs to great her friend Chelsea. "Oh Chelsea I'm sorry!" she said as she hugged her friend. "Oh it's alright Brooke, no harm done," she said smiling. Chelsea also being in Ravenclaw, but a year younger than Brooke, was a tall brunette with chocolate brown eyes and always wearing friendly smile. They walked in silence until they got by a willow tree and sat down.
"How's the Harry business?" Chelsea asked eying Brooke for reactions, opened a bottle of water and toke a sip of it. Brooke giggled a little and folded her hands in her lap and blushed red. "Well, its going fast...I guess. I mean....ugh!" Brooke groaned lost for words. Chelsea looked concerned and spoke easily, "Speechless isn't a good sign for a two month relationship. If you can't describe what you feel about him, it means that you're unsure and a little uneasy about how the relationship is going."
Brooke lay down in the leaves, "I am a little concerned, Harry's old girlfriend came back to help Professor Trelawney. Cho Chang... I think her name was, I don't remember what Ron said. I'm just worried that he is going to go back to her and leave me hanging, or even worse treat me the way Draco treats Ceres," Brooke sighed and wrapped her arms around herself. Chelsea hugged her friend, "I'll scare her off for you." She said sweetly.
Brooke sighed, "No you don't have to do anything, and it's my business. I don't even know what I'm so worried about anyways; Harry's not going to cheat on me." Brooke sat up and through a pebble in the lake still concerned about Cho coming back to Harry. "Cho Chang..." Chelsea said and sat there next to Brooke thinking of the name Cho Chang and then it struck her "She's that Chinese girl that dated Cedric Diggory a couple years back. She's not even pretty Brooke; you don't have anything to worry about," Chelsea exclaimed glad to remember the name.
"It doesn't matter how pretty she is, if Harry liked her than she must have something to catch his eye. Probably something I don't have," Brooke wailed almost to tears. Sighing Chelsea said, "I have to go, don't worry about it Brooke. Harry obviously loves you, it's nothing to get all wishy washy over." Brooke looked up at her and hugged her, "Bye." Brooke croaked tears filling up in her eyes. As Chelsea was running back to the castle, Brooke sat there hugging her knees. 'I shouldn't think about it, it's nothing to get all upset about. Harry wouldn't leave me...or would he?' Brooke thought getting up and wiping her eyes.
