Notice! No everyone, you have not gone mad. I have dicided to re-post this chapter, with sone other stuff added. The thing was I posted it before AmberFox could proof read it. So Now It's been proofed and stuff, I'm replaccing yesterdays chap. Hope you enjoy the changes! Below is what it really should of looked like.Hpe I didn't confuse you guys too much! Here yah go...
Sorry guys!
I was meant to update with my bud Artemus Samhain, like I said I would, but my Mum says that I have to get a job so she's cut down on my internet access and nicked my laptop until I do. The only reason your getting it now is because I was able to steal it back and copy my story onto a disk. So my future updates are now safe! Hope you like this new chapter, even if it is a bit shorter than normal. I just realised that this story started with Sarah and will end with Toby. Origanally Sarah was suppose to be the reason I introduce Toby's situation and what he was doing in Hogwarts. But I got a little carried away. So if you thought this story was all about Sarah going to Hogwarts and stuff, sorry to disappoint you. That would of been way too cliché for me. I don't think there's enough fics about Toby growing up. Anyway, hope you enjoy this new chapter and reveiw and stuff. This fic was changed especally for Fya85. This is for you, enjoy!
Chapter Four: The Screaming Blue Tizzy
Jareth still watched Sarah as he heard Toby arrive and the scuffle of bodies that were the Weasley brothers playful banter. He smiled to himself as he settled in his chair for the night; summoning a crystal he turned it into a large luxury blanket, which he wrapped around himself. He was a little proud of what he had done to the room, turning it from a Hole into a room fit for the princess resting in the bed. Being bored, he had also restored the other rooms to their former glory as well. It would repay the people of the house for taking care of Sarah for him.
The bed was a large ebony four-poster with white satin drapes, to match the white and red rich duvet Sarah slept on, under a cream carpet. He pulled the chair closer to the bed, putting it sideways so he could rest in it and watch Sarah at the same time, and wrapped himself up. Leaning on the arm Jareth freed his hand so he could still hold Sarah's and settled down for the night, not even considering sleeping in another room, as he would be away from Sarah's side.
When Sarah woke up the next day, Jareth was awake. 'Oh, crap. What's he doing here?' She thought to herself as she tried to sit up.
"What I am doing here, my dear," Jareth answered having read her thoughts. "is making sure you don't do something stupid." He lent forward from his casual pose in his chair by her bed to engage her.
"You read my thought!" She glared, being a little too preoccupied with Jareth's presents to look around properly.
"Only because it is so much fun." Jareth purred as he freed her hand and traced her face with gloved fingers.
"You didn't answer my question." Sarah growled, deliberately ignoring his suggestive actions and trying to get up and away from Jareth, who was seriously invading her personal space.
Jareth's arm forced her back down. "We can't have that, can we?" He grinned.
"I don't see how you can stop me as you have no power over me." Sarah growled back.
Jareth hid a wince as she had hit one of his tender spots. "Oh, can't I?" He raised an eyebrow and gave her a leery smirk, allowing images of how he really could stop her to enter her head.
Sarah blushed until she rivalled a stop sign and Jareth's smirk got a little wider. "You wouldn't." She hissed, anger overruling her embarrassment.
"You're right." Jareth said smoothly as he pulled away to sit properly in his chair. "I am not one to force a lady." He continued, keeping his smirk. "But I have other ways of making sure you rest."
"Why do you care?" Sarah huffed.
"I would of thought that was obvious, my flower." Jareth chuckled sinisterly as he answered her question.
"And what 'other ways' besides…" She made an exaggerated arm movement. "All that?"
Jareth leant back and said smoothly. "Toby."
Sarah paled a bit, "Oh? And why would Toby help you?" she asked, noting that she was now skating on thin ice. Who knew what Jareth would do to her younger brother just to get what he wanted.
Then Jareth told her exactly why Toby would help him.
"YOU'VE BEEN WHAT!" Toby and co looked up as the ceiling shook and the cry was heard throughout the house. The House Elves all dashed off to huddled together and shake in the corner of a dark cupboard. "GET BACK HERE! JARETH!"
Jareth gracefully fell through the ceiling to lightly land in front of the teens. "Well, at least I've got her screaming my name." Toby choked as he overheard Jareth's mumblings. The king ignored him as he asked the boy, casually. "Could you do me a favour?"
"Depends." Toby answered back, having regained control of himself, equally carelessly as the sound of a door opening violently and thumping footsteps on the stairs were coming closer and closer. "What is it?"
"Hide me…" Jareth answered as he suddenly leapt up and hid behind the couch in a crouch.
"JARETH!" A thundering roar came from the hallway as Sarah thumped into the room, snorting with rage as she scanned the area for any tight pant wearing fae who happened to be so unfortunate as to be in the area. "Oh? Hello." She calmed down somewhat when she spotted Harry and his friends all looking a bit scared at her. Except Luna who was humming to herself and reading her fathers paper in a chair and ignoring everything.
"Um… Hi? I'm Hermione Granger. This is Harry Potter, Ron Weasley his sister Ginny and brothers, Fred and George…"
"We've met. Nice set of lungs you got there." George said in greeting as both twins strode forward to shake her bewildered hands.
"And this is Luna Lovegood." Hermione finished.
"Hello." Luna said dreamily as she peeked over the paper to see Sarah, who was more confused than ever.
"Sarah!" Toby launched himself at his sister to hug her legs, succeeding in distracting her for the time being.
"Toby!" She grinned and knelt down to hug her little brother while he, and everyone else in the room, watched Jareth creep out from behind the sofa and disappear in a poof of glitter.
"Saaaaaaaaaawwwwaaaaaaahhhhh?" Toby chirruped like a little child on the verge of tears, "Why are you up? You should be in bed sweeping! Jaweth said you got hurwt." Then he began to whimper, his chin and lip wobbling dangerously.
"Okay, Toby. Okay I'll go back up to bed." Sarah grinned, knowing full well that her brother could get away with using that baby voice. "But I'm still mad a Jareth."
"Why?" Toby sniffed. "He was only looking out for you and making sure you'd be safe. He really does wuv you."
Sarah froze up, her mind whirling. 'What…?'
"Sawah?" Toby sniffed again as he wiped his nose with his sleeve cutely as he took her hand and pulled her so she would stand up. "Why are you so surprised? It was all done for you."
Sarah heard a song float through her mind and found herself humming it under her breath. 'How you move my world, you precious thing.
You starve and near exhaust me.
Everything I've done, I've done for you.
I move the stars for no one…' Suddenly she felt light headed and swayed a bit. Mrs Weasley bustled out of the kitchen and handed her a cup.
"Drink this, my dear. It'll make you feel better." Sarah would of done anything Mrs Weasley said to feel better.
"Why are you all wearing robes?" She asked light-headedly as she handed the drink back.
"That's what wizards and witches wear in England." Toby said.
"Oh?" Then Sarah fell backwards in a faint.
"I'll take her up." Jareth said as he appeared to catch her. "Oh, and…" The king waved his hand and everyone, besides himself and Toby froze.
"A memory spell? Do you really think that's necessary?" Toby asked him as Jareth lifted his sister into his arms.
"Do you really think I would let these mortals remember that they saw me hide behind a sofa like a little child?" He said with a smirk before vanishing into thin air. Toby looked around as his friends came back to life, seemingly have forgotten the past few moments.
When Sarah next came to, half an hour later, she found herself unable to move. "The spell will wear off by tomorrow." She turn her head to look at Jareth as he lounged in his chair, making his package noticeable. "You still need to stay in bed and recover."
"I feel fine." Sarah snapped as she struggled a bit more.
"Now, now. Don't make me bring Toby in here." Jareth chuckled at his immature threat. But it did make Sarah stop her struggling, for a while at any rate. "We still haven't finished out talk."
"What more do you have to say? You've taken my brother as your successor, taught him magic, behind my back, and have been using him to spy on my private life!" The hurt in her voice made Jareth want to hold her as tears poured down her face. "And to make matters worse, I have no idea what is going on." Sarah turned her head away, embarrassed that she was crying in front of her supposed enemy.
"Then, my love," Jareth leaned forward, his face sadly serious. "we do have a lot to talk about." He then slowly pointed a finer to her forehead. "This will help you to remember what has happened so far, and ease any meaningless clutter." A bolt of magic shot from his finger into her forehead. Sarah looked at him in shock. Then suddenly her eyes rolled back in her head and she slumped down onto her pillow, unconscious.
'Damn! Too much magic!' Jareth stared at her prone figure. "Sarah? Sarah!"
(Right everyone! Now is the time you've all been waiting for! YES! Now is the time I shout out to some of you cool ppl who have been bombarding me with reviews! I love you!)
Kaichai: Yep. Its cool!
LadyIconDraco: If you looved that, you'll love the next few chapters! You'll see why next week!
Artemis Samhain: She's up, about and driving Jareth up the wall! Snigger! Your getting death threats from AkumakoRonso! That's what you get for not updating so long! Serves you right for making us suffer the suspence!
Midnight Lady: I like Luna, she's weird! I don't think she gets enough fics so I added her. And my sister thinks she's one of the best charecters, so who am I to argue? I don't know either, that's why its botched. That's what shink and memory spells are for! If Harry was surrounded 24/7 wouldn't that attract attention as well? I've never had an 8 year old, so I don't know.
Auntie Solea: Yah! A sparkily sticker! That's probably the best compliment I've ever had! Now I'm going to cry! Sob!
CelebwenTelcontar: Jareth blasted it off for almost waking his beloved! Isn't that sweet! I couldn't work it into the plot, so thaks for asking!
