'Thoughts'

[Letters/writing] ******************

The next morning, Venom was woken abruptly by colourful cursing from below. Pulling out a dagger, she tentatively peeked over the edge of her wooden platform/porch and scanned the area below. She almost fell over the edge from laughing her head off.

"SHUDDUP!!" Daggyr scowled as he brushed leaves and dirt off his plain black shirt and leather trousers, his cloak dangling impaled on the branch above.

"What? Did you fall out of bed dear?" Venom yelled back biting her tongue to stop herself from rolling around in laughter to see such a "strong, powerful, dignified" ShadowKeeper assassin, crashing into the ground from his hammock 20 or so metres in the air. Gently she descended on a puff of air.

"Well, I'm not air-skilled like you! Now that you're up, you can help me make a PROPER TREECABIN!" Daggyr scowled, pulling on his cloak and brushing away the creases.

"Look who's not a morning person," Venom chuckled under her breath, she looked up to see a pair of emerald eyes staring at her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Daggyr scowled, narrowing his eyes at Venom who was sitting on a tree stump examining her nails as if they were the most fascinating things in the universe. He straightened, putting down his 3001-in-1 tool knife that out change its shape and form depending on the situation. Currently, it was in the form of a large saw.

"Well, at least you could help me with this? Oh wait, I'm sorry to interrupt your manicure, did you chip a nail?" Sarcasm dripped from this comment like honey.

Venom raised an ebony eyebrow. She waved he hand in the direction of the tree trunk sprawled on the ground and it cut itself up in neatly cut pieces, stacked in order in size.

"Show off, Nature-gifts."

"I heard that.tin-can!"

"What? Since when am I a tin-can?"

"Since you could control metal!"

"Air-head!"

"I am NOT AND AIR-HEAD."

This, like many usual fights between Shadowkeepers who insulted the others power resulted in a fight.

A leather booted foot swept, just centimetres from Daggyr's neck, which was quickly followed by fist aimed for his head. Daggyr ducked then leg swept Venom's legs from under her. Venom retaliated, back flipping and sending a kick towards Daggyr's torso, hitting him dead centre and sending him flying, crashing into a tree. In an instant Venom's dagger was pressed against the green-eyed ShadowKeeper's throat.

"Go on," Venom raised an eyebrow.

Sigh, "Alright, I Daggyr state that Venom is not a Air-head, thorn-in-a- backside, or a tree-huggy."

Venom nudged him with her dagger.

"Fine, and that I Daggyr is a tin-can, with fried brains and a thick-head."

(A/N: Note, Daggyr is much more powerful than this, this just an act,.you'll find out more laters! Just in case you're wondering.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ron, Hermione and Draco sat upon the rampants that used to be the Astronomy towers, trying to process the information they were given while drowning in a sea of guilt.

Ron shifted and leaned against the stone wall that supposedly stopped people from falling off. 'P-Harry, he was innocent? But, the way I have treated him, when will he forgive me Will he forgive me? And to say I was his best friend. All those times I we've been together, we were almost like brothers, yet, I seemed like I hardly knew him. Things have changed so much, oh I wish that I had believed him."

Hermione stood up at stared out at the tiny fortress city that sprawled below them in a jumble of lights. Hogsmede had evolved from the tiny wizarding village to a small city containing both magical survivors and muggle refugees. However, her hazel eyes were not marveling at the beauty of the place, in fact, though her eyes function, she was not seeing. 'We betrayed him, we all betrayed him. We needed him, but we pushed him away. We tore apart the remaining trust he had in us, and yet, he still saved our sorry lives back there from the Death Eaters. Oh, I'm so sorry Harry, I hope that you can, and you will forgive us...'

Draco sighed, staring at the stars, forming delicate patterns in the dark sky above. 'What is this? Why am I feeling sorry for Potter.Harry? Still, I can't believe that after all this time he was innocent. Well, actually I can, Golden-boy Potter joining the dark lord and his minions? Still, the idea of Draco Malfoy, Death Eater Jr. joining the light side seemed impossible, but anything is possible. Still, Harry, I seriously doubt that he will forgive us for putting him through all this misery. He seems to be much more powerful, there is also something else about him, I just can't put my finger on it. Where was he after all these years? Oh dammit! Harry I wish you will just forgive us! My god, I'm turning sedimental.'

"Will he forgive us?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, not bad!"

After hours of tedious labour (Mainly Daggyr) and flicks of magic (Mainly Venom), Daggyr's cabin was finally completed.

Where Venom's cabin was hexagon in shape, Daggyr's was octagon in shape, allowing even more shadows to lurk in. However, Daggyr had installed windows, not made of glass as it wouldn't be easy to come by in a land constantly short in supplies, however, it was made of ice, clear and see- through, giving a perfect view of the tops of the trees, however it was charmed with wandless magic so that it will never melt and turn frosty white, allowing privacy when ice is tapped 5 times.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Morning class," the magical instructor, Eagle clapped her hands, gaining the undivided attention of her class.

"Now all of you, have magical capabilities, however, in times like these, wands are hard and difficult to obtain and come by.that is why we're learning wandless magic."

A loud murmur of approval.

"Quiet! Now, no, wandless magic is not the source to your ultimate dreams and power, to do really powerful magics like summons, you will need something to channel it through like a wand or staff, however, with enough training, you can and you WILL be able to do easy to moderately-hard or even difficult magic. Now, here is a candle, I want you all to."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Is that what I think it is?" Venom sat down beside Daggyr as he sat cross- legged, unmoving on the wooden planks of his new cabin, dark glasses covered his eyes, however, every so often, a spark of neon green or blue shoots across the lenses.

"Yes, it's a G.C."

A G.C. or originally known as a Glasses Computer, is a handy device that is basically what it sounds like, a computer in a pair of sunglasses. The two arms of the glasses have special sensors that collect tiny electrical impulses from the brain to control and run the computer. It had the same memory as any normal, high-power computer and can be turned into a normal pair of sunglasses by just pressing a switch on the under side of the right lens. Within the ShadowKeepers, they were extremely valuable, costing almost 20 000 ores (Remember, this is the currency used in the ShadowKeeper community).

"Wow, you must have killed to get one!"

"Yes."

'Literally' He added mentally.

"What are you doing?"

"Trying to gather information about the world now, everything has changed so much, I can't get much data from the S.K (ShadowKeeper) resources."

"Well, what are we going to do, remember, knowledge is power." Vernom whispered, scent of incoming revenge already in her nostrils.

"Well, I hate to-loathe to, do this, but I guess we must go to Fort Hogwarts."

Pale fingers reached under the right lens of the sunglasses, and with a soft click, the flickering neon lights halted, showing only the usual dark unreadable black.
