Sorry if this doesn't start from the right place, the internet is down at my school and my computer has been wiped of all files, damn technicians…anyway, I ain't updating very well at the moment cos I have geography English biology chemistry and physics coursework at the moment they all have to be in on a week on Friday so I'm sorry if my updating is awful for a while….anyways on with the story
Chapter twenty
With a loud ahem which sent most of the class jumping with fright as though they thought that thee professor Umbridge had returned from toad-dom, Tonks announced that the battle would commence, just as soon as she was out of the way of them all.
She pointed her wand to her throat muttered sonorous and called, "let the battle commence."
She watched them with a careful eye, she was more worried about being hit by a stray curse than how the battle would turn out, she found herself surprised when the Gryffindors all grouped together in a strategic group and people fire curses under the command of Harry's new friend, she looked down the list of student names. She recognised all of the old wizarding names, he was not one of them, he did not appear to resemble a person of muggle descent to she decided that he must be one of those three names she could not place into either category, so must be either Legolas, Thundril, Boromir Denethor or Aragorn Arathon. When she looked up from her register she was surprised to see that nearly all of the Ravenclaws had been incapacitated it was supposed to be this way, when she had done this at school it had always been the Gryffindors who charge around and heroically ran around fending for themselves and trying to avenge themselves where as the Ravenclaws paired together and helped each other protecting each others back, but this time the Gryffindors had all remained in a powerful group in the middle of the room with the weaker spell casters on the inside all grouped together and were forming a shield spell around the group whilst the others shot spells through it to hit the Ravenclaws, within a few minutes there were only Gryffindors left standing.
Aragorn looked around from the position he occupied on the front row of the circle, he noted several people wobbling around as though their legs could no longer support them, though the vast majority of the number not of his army were lying upon the floor looking as though they were dead save for the faint rise and fall of their chests. Looking up to the teaching table but found that he could not longer see the professor, an old woman with a wizened old face and long white hair sat behind the desk, or was it a different person he examined the person carefully she did not seem to be much different, he looked carefully at her, yes the same buttercup yellow surrounded the old woman as had surrounded the young woman who had previously sat their. The only people he had ever seen with identical colours were those Wealsy twins and Elrohir and Elladan.
He noticed that the rest of the class save foe Legolas, Harry Ron and Hermione were still unable to find the professor.
After several long minutes the 'old woman on the desk looked up and then said
"Yes that was a very good method for flattening your enemy in three seconds flat"
"Excuse me ma'm" asked Dean Thomas, "but where is professors Tonks?"
"she has gone out for the moment, I also believe that it is the end of you lesson, she has requested that misters Arathon, Thundril, Denethor, Potter and Wealsy and miss Granger remain behind"
The rest of the class appeared to be dissatisfied by this excuse but none the less made their way from the classroom. Once the door had closed behind the last student the old woman returned in front of their eyes into the woman they had met at the beginning of the lesson.
"now, I see that all of you were able to see through my disguise, I can understand you three," here she gestured towards Harry, Ron and Hermione, "but I have not met or heard of any of you three, may I ask as to how you were able to tell that it was me? She looked at Boromir the first.
"Well milady I have seen many magics in this place during my short stay I just assumed that it was you who had changed you still had that mole above your eyebrow"
"common sense I gift that most wizards lack, me included in this list, the mole is a good method to track metamorphmagi we are unable to change this one feature all metamophmagi have a mole here…how did you understand that it was me?" this last question was directed at Legolas
"milady, when you changed although I do see your new features I am able to see through them as though through smoke and here I am able to see your own face…the ability to see through disguise is a gift of the race to which I belong" Aragorn looked at Legolas and found that the elf was intensely embarrassed, Aragorn should have remember that Legolas hated to be in the centre of attention as he was at the moment, Tonks was gaping at him open mouthed like a trout.
"And what race is this that can see through the powers of a metamophmagus? I must know in case they were to ally with he-who-must-not-be-named" asked Tonks she seemed frantic with worry as though this to her unknown race could join with Voldermort within the next third of a light hour.
"Worry yourself not good lady for I can assure you that no person from my race will join with the dark lord, there is only one way to turn an e- I mean us into creatures of dark, this process causes us immense pain and by the end of it we have no powers left to us."
The professor seemed to relax a little, then turning she asked
"What must be done to turn you against the light?"
"If you really wish to know, we must be both tortured and mutilated in body soul and mind"
Aragorn prayed to the valour that this fate should never be met by any of the family of Rivendell nor to the family of his good friend Legolas.
"Sorry…I was too quick to judge"
"It matters not" said Legolas
For one glorious moment Aragorn almost believed that Tonks had forgotten to ask him, his joy was short lived as she turned and asked him for his reasoning,
"Always have I been able to see colours in the air around people, these differ for each person save for twins of the identical nature"
"it is a rare skill but still I believe I can tell you of it, this shows the power of the magic within the person you are looking at, the most powerful are white, the least are black from here it goes from violet through the rainbow to red, then the metals then as I have already said white…now I have finished with ensuring that none of you are using evil schemes to see through my disguise you may go…you will need this piece of parchment, I believe you will need it you have potions now…and I have kept you for half of the lesson already.
