Authors Note: Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in a while. I just thought no one was reading. See, this is why you need to get a free account and review! Hehe, anyway, here it is, the next installment in Feeling for You!
Disclaimer: No…no I really don't own Harry or anything else in his world…Of course, I almost did that one time I bribed J.K. into selling him to me. Wait…no that was Iuyasha. Damnit, WHY DO I ALWAYS FORGET THESE THINGS! (Author storms off).
After quite a bit of tossing and turning, and a brief moment of Anastasia nearly falling off the bed, Asia finally woke up. She went downstairs to find that no one was there. She decided to make some breakfast and then go out for some "alone time", leaving Ana in the care of Pru. As soon as she stepped out the door she knew something was wrong. Then she saw it. Well, she didn't see it as much as feel it. She curled her hand into a fist and waited, listening. Rustle. 3… Brush. 2… Slither. 1… Whoosh.
Asia brought her hand around, twisted, and felt bones snap. But it was in her foes, it was hers. She turned her head, ignoring the pain, and found a tightly constricted, smallish python around her hand. She brought her other hand up, uttered a few Latin phrases, and the snake lay dead on the ground. She looked at her hand. Tears welled. "DAMNIT! THAT HURT LIKE A FU—"
"Mommy?" Ana had come out to see her mom off. Asia stopped midsentence, not wanting her daughter to hear the foul language she often used when no one was around.
"He-Hey baby. Umm, you didn't hear anything did you?" Asia asked, hoping to dear god she hadn't.
"No, I just came out to say bye." At this Ana gave her mom a bear hug that seemed to crush her ribs.
"Oh, I didn't want to disturb your sleep. But ok, bye for now. I'll be back this afternoon ok?" Asia used one hand to brush a strand of Ana's hair out of her face, then kissed her on the forehead, hurrying off to a secluded spot where she could vent her agony in private.
Back with our favorite trio
"Sooo…" Harry said. An eerie quiet had fallen over Ron and Hermione after an argument that, as far as Harry could determine, had been about cabbage…and something called a Boomshot.
"Hmpf," Hermione grunted with appall.
"Would you stop that? It's bad enough I have to listen to you nag on and on about random things!" Ron said slightly under a yell.
"MAYBE I LIKE DOING THAT, SO YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR FREKELED LITTLE NOSE OUT OF MY BUISNESS!" Hermione screamed.
"OH YEAH, WELL MAYBE I DON—"
"SHUTTUP! BOTH OF YOU!" Harry had grown tired of their bickering. He was on the verge of having steam shoot out his ears. "Why can't either of you ever have a nice, civilized conversation without screaming!" Harry said, calming down slightly.
"Well maybe if Ron wasn't such an ignorant fool…" Hermione spit out the phrase with disgust.
"And maybe if Hermione wasn't such an idiotic git…"
"I AM NOT A GIT!"
"YES YOU ARE!"
"NO IM NOT, STOP SAYING I AM OR I'LL BASH YOU GOOD RON WEASLEY!"
"GO AHEAD, TRY!"
After Ron had screamed that, he gave up on trying to hold the two back and simply watched as they slapped each other and pulled hair back and forth. He rested his chin in his hands and started to daydream.
He was at Hogwarts one more. In the chamber of secrets. But there was no Tom Riddle of Basilisk to be seen. Instead, he stood at the mouth of the giant stone face, facing a hooded figure. He was holding a small glass sphere, not unlike the one he had made Peter Pettigrew return after chasing him down.
"Well? What are you going to do Potter?" said the hooded foe.
"Depends, I haven't decided on whether to kill you or not" Harry replied. The figure gave a raspy laugh and put his hood down, revealing a snakelike head.
"Could you Potter? Could you kill the source of all your fame and glory? Or would you need your precious sister to protect you once more? I would bet on the latter. Of course, you do have the Sphere of concealment and feelings (yeah yeah, I know, bad, name, STFU ALREADY!). Harry gripped the sphere tighter, he drew his wand and uttered one of the most powerful spells known to wizard kind.
"Avada Kadaver" (sp?). The spell shot across to Voldemort, but just before it hit him, someone slapped Harry and woke him up.
"Harry wake up. Ewww, why were you drooling? Ugh, never mind, just…get…up!" This, of course, was Hermione. It was getting dark outside and he saw Asia sitting across from him at the table. He looked up at Hermione and saw a slightly yellowed eyelid. She must have got the bruise from when she and Ron were fighting.
"Alright there?" Harry asked. She nodded. Harry looked back at Asia, who was now staring at him. He raised an eyebrow.
"I have something to tell you Harry. I got attacked today. Voldemort wasn't lieing; he sent a snake to sneak in and try to kill Ana." Harry stood up so fast his chair tipped over.
Yes, I know, bad way to end a chapter. But I gotta keep the suspense up people! Anyway, as always, Read and Review please!
