Chapter Eight

His/Her Highness

Beast Boy, Raven, Ron, and Hermione stood outside on the grounds as though they were waiting for something. They looked up in the sky and searched for Harry, Robin, and Cyborg. Apparently Ron's brothers, Fred and George, had become ill and were out of commission for at least a week. The Gryffindor quidditch team had a tough decision to make, were to find temporary beaters. Acting solely on a hunch Harry invited Robin and Cyborg to learn what they could in a few days in hopes that maybe they might still be able to win against Slytherin.

"So he wasn't in Ginny," asked Raven looking upwards. Ron shook his head.

"Well, when we found her we tried the incantation you used and nothing happened. We either did it wrong or Ginny just wasn't being possessed."

"It was a little strange trying to perform it in front of her friends as well," said Hermione. Beast Boy rubbed the back of his neck from soreness and looked back at the large entrance door,

"Any of you guys seen Starfire?" They all shook their heads. They hadn't seen Starfire since they took off to find Ginny. Robin and Cyborg had come to a few hours ago and for the most part felt just fine. Aside from Cyborg needing a few repairs and Robin wanting a coke and a couple of Advil. They had also inquired who it was that saved them from the dementors just a while ago. Scott Hayward, the boy they saw that morning they came and Noah's son was the one who helped them. He hadn't been seen since but they were still grateful for his help. "Where are they?"

"Don't know, they should have been back by now." Hermione strained her eyes to far off.

"LOOK OUT!" They turned and jumped fell to the ground as Cyborg flew write past them. "WHHOOOOOAAAAAAAAA!" He spun around in all sorts of directions and nearly collided with Robin who wasn't having much luck either. Harry landed next to the others and let out a short breath.

"So how are they doing," asked Ron. Harry cocked his head.

"For starters, not bad." The two now flew along side each other and prepared to make yet another uncontrollable pass low over the ground. They quickly moved out of the way. Harry looked over at Hermione who nodded and drew her wand.

"IMPENDIMENTIA!" Robin and Cyborg slowed to a steady cruise then finally came to a halt. They jumped off the brooms and practically kissed the green grass.

"Sorry Harry…but….I don't think……were the ones you want," said Robin between gasps for breath.

"No kidding man, how do you do that?" Harry shrugged his shoulders sheepishly. From a fair distance away Draco Malfoy watched them with an irritated glare. 'What a bunch of morons,' he thought. He shook his head and turned to leave only to come face to face with Starfire. He was a bit surprised at first but let his mouth curve into a smile.

"Well hello." She smiled back and approached him. "So got tired of him did you? I promise you you'll never get bored with m"- She pulled out a wand and pointed it directly at his chest. He stopped abruptly. "What is this?" She remained silent and held out her hand. Understanding the gesture he slowly reached into his pocket and gave her his own wand. "What do you want?"

"Your allegiance," she stated plainly and tightened her grip. "Imperio." Malfoy's facial expressions instantly slacked and swayed on the spot. She tucked away her stolen wand. "I have a few things I want you to do for me, first." She handed him back his wand. "I want you to inspire a few others, and deliver this note to the headmaster's office." The spellbound Malfoy took it from her and pocketed it. With a bow of the head he turned stiffly and walked back into the castle. She concealed the wand completely and disappeared. A few hours later 'Starfire' passed through the large doors and greeted the Titans and Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

"Hello friends," she said with a warm smile.

"Well there you are," said Robin matching her face.

"How is your training progressing?"

"I wouldn't say it's progressing," quipped Cyborg.

"Where have you been," asked Raven.

"I….uh….I have been……conducting my own search for clues on who might be enslaved by the Malchior." Raven noticed a single bead of sweat moving down her head.

"Is that a fact," she replied.

"SO who wants lunch," asked Harry walking back over with Ron and Hermione. Starfire quickly followed them while Raven watched her with narrowed eyes.

"Saved by the lunch bell," said Raven quietly. As they were walking back Robin glanced behind him and saw someone move behind the trees on the edge of the forbidden forest. He veered off from the group and began to walk towards the tree line. Beast Boy noticed his Robin's change of direction and pointed this out to everyone.

"Where's he going," asked Harry. They all moved off to catch up with him except Starfire who smoothly re-entered the school. Robin pushed past a number of bushes and shrubs until he came to a small clearing. He thought he had seen someone, no, he had seen someone. Who was it? It was then that he heard a sinister voice only he could recognize.

"Robin, what are doing here? Don't you know this forest is forbidden?" Robin gritted his teeth and whipped out his staff.

"Slade!"

"You never write, you never call, you don't even send me hate mail. Robin I must say I am saddened by this." Robin moved around in the clearing trying to find Slade's hiding spot. "You waste your time you know."

"I will find you!"

"Oh I have no doubt that you will. What I meant was that you and your friends haven't a hope of stopping us." Robin curved an eyebrow.

"And who's us," he hissed.

"It doesn't matter, soon your dragon friend will fulfill his usefulness and the dead ones will rise!" Slade wasn't making any sense, what the hexk was he talking about.

"Your nuts! You and whoever your working with! I SWEAR I'LL STOP YOU!"

"Robin, Robin, Robin. How can you stop me when you don't even know that I'm right behind you." He spun around and saw no one. Turning back he only saw Slade's fist before he fell to the ground with a boldly lip. "Made you look." Robin jumped up and in the same movement pitched two bird-a-rangs at the villain. Slade caught them and stuck them in adjacent trees. "I should have come back a long time ago, your really slipping," he mocked. Robin charged forward trying to whap Slade across the face. Slade jumped back and threw a handful of smoke grenades on the ground. "We will fight later Robin, right now you've got bigger problems." The smoke faded and Robin was left alone. He retraced his staff just as the others caught up with him.

"Yo Robin what's up, we heard you shout and a few scattered explosions." Cyborg transformed his arm and surveyed the area.

"Slade," said Robin.

"Are you sure," asked Raven.

"Let's go down that road, I saw him okay!"

"Dude we believe you but what's he doing here," asked Beast Boy. Robin shook his head not knowing the answer to BB's question.

"Who's Slade," asked Harry.

"To make a long story short he'd e our Voldemort," said Robin. Harry nodded in comprehension. "Alright let's get back." They passed through the tree line and upon greeting the sunlight stopped. A number of students, Ron's sister included, were blocking their way. "Uhhhh hi," said Robin. Ron reached into his pocket but the students were faster and all drew their wands. The Titans, Harry, Ron, and Hermione put their hands up defensively. Beast Boy leaned in closer to Raven.

"You didn't tell us he could possess more than one person."

"He can't," said Raven.

"Well then what's up with this," whispered Cyborg franticly. Hermione took a closer look at them and noticed a few had drooping eye lids while some had their mouths slacked open.

"They're under a spell."

"What spell," asked Robin.

"Well judging by the fact that they're pointing wands at us and they don't seem to be aware, off hand I'd say it was the spell that turns your against people," said Hermione sarcastically.

"Silence," said Ginny. She stepped forward.

"Ginny what's going on here? Why are you doing this," asked Ron. She didn't answer him but returned to the front of her group.

"You will come with us now." Reluctantly they all moved forward surrounded by the small escort. Now and then they would be pushed along in a rough manner. They entered the school and noticed a dark shroud and replaced its usual warmth. The doors to the great hall opened and they saw many if not all of the students; Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Slytherins all lined against the wall. As they walked they noticed the student body was being held in the great hall but had instead congregated. At end of the hall two seventh years stood on either side of someone with their back to them. The escort stopped them a few ten feet from the steps up to the teacher's tables and Ginny made her way to the figures side. She knelt before the person with her head down as if she laid eyes on them she would turn to salt.

"Highness, we have brought them." They all gaped when Starfire turned to face them. She wore a set of red and black robes and wore a gold ring around her head. She looked around at all of them as her eyes flashed red.

"Starfire," said Robin. She stepped forward and circled them.

"I am truly sorry but your lunch will have to be postponed until further notice." Starfire sounded positively creepy as her voice, by nature was warm and cheery, dripped with malice. She spread her arms out to the large crowd of students where upon they instantly knelt down like a wave. "Isn't it wonderful, now I have my own followers."

"Let them go Malchior they have nothing to do with this," said Raven.

"You are in a position unsuitable to make demands," stated Malchior. Raven looked around and noticed one student not among the others.

"Where's the boy who helped us, where's Scott Hayward?" Starfire let out a small series of laughs and reached behind her make-shift thrown. She pulled out Scott's staff and threw to the ground.

"The boy presented a problem to me, so I had to deal with him accordingly." Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at the staff solemnly.

"What about the teachers," asked Harry not looking up.

"Oh they're just fine, I'm keeping Dumbledore nice and comfortable." They all looked up at her disbelieving. "Yes, I am a power far older than that dried up senior citizen. I have won." Harry looked around at the enslaved students.

"Why them, why bring them into this?"

"Being a god does dose the body good, though I simply will not tolerate your presence for much longer." She snapped her fingers and a host of seventh years lined in front of them like a firing squad.

"Wait," said Robin. Starfire/Malchior turned. "Me, leave Starfire and take me instead."

"You why would I want to inhabit you," asked Malchior stepping back up to him. "Starfire is strong, powerful, and can soar through the air as I once did. She is proving to be an excellent host."

"What about going back to being Puff the magic dragon," snipped Cyborg. Starfire narrowed her eyes.

"I have come to the realization that once I am restored to my real form I will be vulnerable to the wearing sands of time. But if I simply take a new host every sixty or so years, then I will live on for all time. Starfire should consider herself honored, she will be the first to grant me eternal life." Robin snapped. He kicked away the second year who had been in front of him. He ran up to tackle Starfire and inwardly prayed she would forgive later for this. Starfire/Malchior spun around and blasted Robin away. He skidded across the floor and remained still for a moment. His friends ran over to him and helped him up. "With her natural abilities coupled with my magics, there will not be a soul in this world who would dare challenge even my name." Robin scowled for the first time at Starfire's face, but reminded himself that it was a parasite he was glaring at…..not Starfire. She surveyed him for a moment then got an idea.

"It would be a shame to allow talent like your own to be completely eradicated," she spoke to all of them and stepped up to Robin. "You do not believe anything that I have said? You will believe, you will all be believers." She stared at Robin with an evil smile and began walking back to her chair. "Take them away and prepare the induction ceremony."

"Hold on," said Robin. "Let me talk to her." Malchior narrowed an eyelid at Robin. "Just for a second." Neville timidly approached her.

"Highness, I would suggest that you allow him one last request before he can longer do such a thing." Malchior smiled and laid a hand on his head.

"What a good slave you are, you make a good point." While avoiding looking up at Starfire Neville put on a weak smile as if earning extra credit. Starfire/Malchior walked up to Robin and paused. She closed her eyes and ducked her down somewhat. After a short moment she raised it back up and her eye blinked open. Starfire, the real Starfire, looked around the room in confusion and at her change in clothing. She laid eyes on Robin.

"Robin!" She flung her arms around him and he held her tightly. "Oh Robin please forgive me." They pulled apart.

"Its not your fault Star, but you have to try and fight him off."

"I am sorry, but he has grown stronger, as much as I so desire to I cannot." Robin held her shoulder.

"Don't worry, we'll get him out of you. I promise." Starfire felt tears welling up.

"Oh Robin, you should have left when you had the chance."

"Never without you. This school's going back to the way it was and your going to be free." Starfire moved closer. "Don't be afraid."

"I am not." They faces were but a breath's length apart when she stopped and slowly drew away. Her had ducked down once more and upon coming back up her eyes glowed. "Times up," she said shortly. She snapped her fingers and Malfoy approached her. "Contact your father, and tell him that I will meet with his master as was the request." Malfoy bowed his head and promptly left the room. She glanced back the Titans, Harry, Ron, and Hermione and shook her head. "Would someone please get them out of my sight?" Not believing their situation they were then pulled out of the room. From inside her own mind Starfire watched with her hands pressed against an invisible force. She sadly saw her friends being taken away and fell into despair.

IN THE DUNGEONS…………………..

Ron held the bars tightly in his grip then sat back down with the other. "You know, I never thought I would be sent to the dungeons because…it's the dungeons," he said looking around at the former potions room. "Now what do we do?"

"We sit here waiting to be turned into vegetables," said Cyborg.

"Not helping," said Harry.

"Hey watch it, said Beast Boy.

"Well maybe Raven shouldn't have brought that DAMN BOOK!" Harry had rose form his seat. Beast Boy stood in front of him.

"You sayin' this is all Raven's fault!"

"Shall I put it laymen's terms for you?" The others sat glumly while the new battle heated up.

"What's that supposed to mean!"

"IT MEANS WHY DON'T YOU DROP DEAD! WE WERE ALL PERFECTLY FINE UNTIL ALL OF YOU AND RAVEN SHOWED UP WITH HER BLOODY BOOK!" Beast Boy tackled Harry and they rolled all over the floor. Hermione gave a futile attempt to break it up until she gave a pleading look to Raven.

"ENOUGH!" Harry and Beast Boy quite immediately while Harry was in mid punch. "Killing each other isn't going to help us all that much. I'm sorry you feel that way about me Harry, I acknowledge that I should have been more careful with the book. But please, stop fighting and let's figure out a way out of this mess." Harry and Beast Boy each shot each other hard looks and got up off the floor. Robin sat by himself in the corner. Robin was sure for a moment they had the old Starfire back, then she was suddenly taken away. While Raven and Ron did their best to smooth things over between Harry and Beast Boy Hermione came and sat next to Robin.

"Are you okay?" Robin snickered somewhat.

"What do you think?" Hermione cast a downward look. "Sorry, I don't usually 'talk' about anything. And Starfire is one of those things."

"I understand Robin, but you shouldn't sit all by yourself like its hopeless."

"Yeah, and why not? We don't even know where Dumbledore is."

"I don't believe for a moment that Dumbledore is out of the picture. He's probably waiting for the right moment."

"Sorry, but that just doesn't help right now." Hermione nodded and fixed her robes.

"Well, what would Starfire say?" Robin picked his head up and gave her a short nod. He promised she would be free, and that was a promise he intended to keep.

Well how was this chapter? Sorry I took a few days to get it out. Hope your liking it so far and I'll update soon.
