Chapter 2

Getting Somewhere

"Are you coming?" Jareth called impatiently on the other side of a wooden door.

"I'm not going!" a girl yelled back. "I don't want to go aboveground. I heard it was a horrible place!" Ginny scowled at the door.

"Listen here young lady I spent three years in that "horrible" place and you don't know a thing about it. You will get your spoiled princess butt out of there this instance you will go with your father to Hogwarts and you will do it all with a happy face!" with that Ginny stormed off to blow off some steam.

The door creaked open and a girl with long, curly light red hair poked her head out. Her mismatched eyes (Purple and green) found her father's. "Damien's been keeping her up hasn't he?" she asked. Jareth nodded.

"I'm afraid he is starting to affect her mood. Now, Linzel will be here any moment and when she gets here we are leaving," he said sternly. Alexandria sighed in defeat.

"As long as Linzel is going," she said. Suddenly there was a crash and some yelling in the direction of the throne room.

"She's here," Jareth said with a sarcastic tone. He walked to his throne room. When he walked in he found Linzel picking herself up. On her back was a pair of sky blue angle wings. She wore black leggings with a light blue halter top. Around her upper arms were dark blue ribbons that hung down about reaching the floor.

"That's the last time I try to fly into your windows," she muttered and held her head. After about a minute the wings disappeared. That's when Ginny entered the throne room.

"Linzel!" she walked over and hugged the slightly surprised woman. "It's so good to see you! How are you?"

"I'm fine, your grace, and you?" Linzel said when she was finally released.

"Now how many times should I tell you, call me Ginny, and I'm fine. Though I'm having a bit of a problem with Damien," she said cheerfully.

"Well if you need any assistance, call my sea nymphs they'll help," she told the queen. Ginny nodded in agreement. Linzel then faced Jareth.

"So you get the princess ready?" she asked. He looked over his shoulder and saw that his daughter's door was closed again.

"She will be," he supplied. Linzel nodded and tried not to laugh.

"I guess having children is not as easy as it seems is it?" she asked slyly.

"Neither is ruling a kingdom," Jareth muttered. The water witch rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Are we getting wands?" she asked suddenly.

"Well if I'm teaching a defense class, I better get one. Alexandria will probably get one. You?" he eyed the woman.

"If I'm doing dancing, then no, but I'm not sure. I might get one for teaching any students that want to paint," she thought for a moment. "I might as well," she shrugged. Jareth agreed and went to call his daughter again. Linzel took the moment to look around. The throne room was not very active today. There was chicken wondering around. Linzel frowned at the oddity walking around the room.

"I really don't understand why Jareth keeps those guys around," Ginny said. The water woman noticed that the queen was still in the room. She smiled to the woman of royalty.

"Comic relief?" Linzel suggested. Both people burst out laughing.

"What are two laughing about?" Alexandria asked as she entered the room with her father. The two stopped laughing.

"Sorry, we were just conversing about the local wildlife," Ginny said and pointed to the clueless chicken. Alexandria rolled her eyes.

"Are we all set?" Jareth asked the two ladies that would travel to Hogwarts with him. They both nodded. "We are going to Diagon Alley, the train station, and go from there," he informed them.

"At least that's somewhere," Alexandria muttered, then received a glare from her father. She smirked back.

"Have a nice trip," Ginny told them.

"Bye mom," Alexandria called before the three disappeared.

$&$

Three people appeared in a dark alley just next to the Leaking Cauldron. They quickly walked out of the deserted alley and entered the dusty bar.

"I never really liked bars," Linzel commented as she put the hood on her dark blue cloak down. Alexandria put the hood on her crimson cloak down and looked around.

"I'm not even old enough to be at a bar," she said with a smile. The third person put the hood of his black cloak down and looked around. Jareth's hair was tied back into a loose ponytail.

"Well, we're not staying long," he said and walked passed interested eyes. People looked to Linzel who had her trademark birthmark on her forehead. The mark was a light blue tear drop partly covered by her light blonde bangs. The trio reached the back room and Jareth threw a crystal at the wall. The wall then opened to reveal Diagon Alley.

"Ok I was wrong the Aboveground looks interesting," Alexandria admitted. Linzel looked around curiously.

"All we came here for were some wands," Jareth told them before they got any ideas. The water sprite winked to Alexandria, who returned with a mischievous smile. Spotting Olivander's the three headed in that direction.

They entered the quiet shop with wondering faces and looked around. Soon a wizened old man appeared.

"You majesties!" Olivander exclaimed and bowed slightly. The man then looked to the extra girl. He saw her birthmark and smiled. "You must be the new teachers to Hogwarts." It was more of a statement than a question.

"Yes, and we must get wands even though we are not used to using them," Jareth said. Olivander nodded with enthusiasm.

"Yes, yes we must get you wands," he said eagerly. He looked to sixteen-year-old red head and thought for a minute. "Let's see, I haven't had many Fae in centuries," he commented and went farther into the back of the shop. The three could hear humming and soon the man came back out. "Try this m'lady," he said and held out a box with a cherry wood wand inside.

"Cool," Alexandria said and picked the magical instrument up. She and the wand glowed for a moment.

"Perfect, usually don't get it on the first try," the shop keeper shrugged. "No wonder you two fit. That wands got a hair of a goblin in it. Perfect for the Goblin Princess!" Olivander said and smiled to the teen. Alexandria smiled contently. "Now for the king. Just goblin hair won't do, no it will not do," again Olivander busied himself in the back.

"This should prove interesting," Linzel commented lightly. Jareth threw her a glare before the owner came back out.

"Here we are," Olivander handed Jareth an open box. Inside was a black colored wand. Jareth picked it up out of the box. As soon as Jareth hand came in contact with the wand, the wand formed a crystal. The crystal cracked and exploded. The pieces, however, melded themselves to the wand.

"Whoa!" both Linzel and Alexandria exclaimed.

"Yes, some wands have different ways of showing they have found the right owner," Olivander said mysteriously. The shop keeper then looked to Linzel. "A water lady, what can I find for you?" he questioned himself. Going to the back, Olivander came out rather quickly with another box. He handed the box to Linzel. Linzel to the wand out.

"No," she said barely audible, "This doesn't feel right, try another," she said and handed the wand, box and all, back to Olivander.

"You're right, let me try again," he said and brought out another a few second later. Linzel took the wand out and she quickly dropped it in pain.

"I STUNG ME!" she complained and held her hand. Olivander picked up the wand and placed it back in the box.

"Sorry about that," he apologized. "Hm, this is hard. Wait I know, I've been using the wrong magic water," he sighed.

"What do you mean?" Jareth aked quizzically.

"She's a Lady of the Water, so naturally her wand must contain a magical water correct for her," he explained. Linzel wondered why the wands just didn't feel right. "Let me try one more, I think I might have just the one," he stated. Linzel smiled and nodded.

"Last time," she said as she eyed the wand he now held out to her. The wood on the handle was a very light brown that had a light blue hew to it. The wand it self was a dark blue almost black color.

"Last time," Olivander reassured her. Linzel picked up the wooden object and as her hand wrapped around the handle the birthmark on her head glowed. "That's the one," the mysterious man said.

"That's awesome," Alexandria said. Linzel looked at the wand closely.

"Olivander what's in this wand?" she asked curiously. He smiled and had a weird glint in his eye.

"The tears of a god, my dear," he answered, "The wand contains the tears of death herself. If you remember mythology, the tears of Death are best healing magic in the galaxies. They are also perfect for emotion magic, similar to dancing or art. Hold onto that wand lady, for Death only gives her tears once every 10 centuries," he said.

They paid for their wands and walked out of the spooky shop. Quickly they teleported themselves to Platform 9 ¾. No one cared that three figures had materialized out of thin air. This was, after all, the platform of the train that took new student and teachers to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! (AN: But I think we all knew that!)

The train platform was busy with activity and practically swarming with students. Alexandria stuck close to her father. Linzel had to resist running off in curiosity.

"You must be the new teachers to Hogwarts," a voice from behind interrupted their wondering. The three turned around. A man stood behind them along with a shorter boy next to him. The man had long white hair but looked to be about in his high thirties. He held his head high.

'Talk about pride bigger than ego,' Linzel shot to Jareth. Jareth heard the comment in his head and hid a smirk.

"And you are?" Jareth started a conversation.

"Lucius Malfoy," he said and held out his hand. Jareth shook it while again hiding a smirk. Mortals are so funny sometimes. "This is my son, Draco," he said and motioned to the sixteen-year-old boy next to him. The boy had sleek blonde/white hair close to his fathers.

'Oh god, I have to go to school with rich kids?' Alexandria thought sarcastically and let the two adult near her hear it. Linzel stifled a laugh with a cough. Lucius then caught sight of the woman teacher.

"And who might you be?" he inquired with a smile (AN: Though it was an evil, over-baring, jerky, well you get the point, smile)

"Linzel Trannen," she said and bowed her head slightly. She held out her hand for him to shake. Lucius grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips.

"A beautiful name, Miss Trannen," he said.

'Is he flirting?! He has a kid! Isn't he married?!' Linzel's mind raced. It was Jareth turn to try and not laugh.

'I don't know, I believe mortals believe in divorce, so who knows?,' the king tried to compromise. Linzel shot him a glare. If looks could kill and Fae could die, then Jareth would be dead.

Draco rolled his eyes he then turned his attention to Alexandria. Jareth realized he had not introduced themselves.

"Where have my manners gone? My name if Jareth Spiritello and this is my daughter Alexandria," he introduced her. She waved but did not put out her hand, for fear of the same thing that happened to Linzel.

'You're from Italy now?' Linzel asked Jareth through their mind circuit. Jareth smirked. 'Top it off, your last name means 'goblin',' she sighed.

'And yours means 'tears' in Dutch. I didn't even know you knew Dutch,' he sent back. Linzel shrugged.

"We must be off now," Linzel said and waved goodbye to the two fair haired guys. Linzel exhaled when they were out of sight.

"I don't want to see them again, or just not the father," she admitted.

"Your lucky," Alexandria started as they walked towards the train, "I have to go to school with the son.

"We'll live," Jareth said and sighed at the though at a whole year with these two girls. Oh boy was this going to be fun.
