(chapter 3. half-demon?)
when he removed her hat. the thing he saw he did not beleave they where there. white wolves ears on the top of her head. was she a demon? no no she couldnt be a demon she had human blood. he knew this because of the blood from her cuts on her legs. she opend her eyes slowly and looked up to see the strang man stanging over her. "where...? hogwarts?" she said and she touched the top of her head then she stoped. Where was her hat! she saw it lieing next to her and she looked back up at the man still standing over her. "I umm...well...first off my name is Tara...I've come from far away to become care of magical creatures teacher...and i'm um...a half-demon..." she looked away from him knowing he would probly kick her out for being what she was...she waiting her eyes closed ready for harsh words and maybe a beating if he really hated her kind...
Ahriman smiled slightly at the woman. "I"m Gage, welcome to Hogwarts." He lay the hat in his hands beside the couch, then turned to tend to the newborn fire. As he prodded at the logs, he spoke to her. "So, a half-demon, huh?" He had met many half-demons and fullbloods in his travels. "I hear we've gotten another teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts..." His voice trailed off as he thought. Should he tell her that he was an Ancient? That he was a Guardian? The Ancients were a noble line of people, the first to receive magicks from the demons in the beginning. The Guardians were a small group of said people who worked to protect the mortals from the demons should they decided humans were not 'fit' for their gifts...Ahriman turned back to the fire...he was a thinned down Guardian...He decided against it...
she opend her eyes looking up at him. "another half-demon?" I'm not alone... she thought. "I've come to teach...Dumbledore told me to come and stay he said there would be protection here--" she stoped. she didn't want him to know that she was being chaced and fallowed. she smiled at him for the first time showing the beauty and glow of her slitly pale face. "your a teacher?" she said siting up. her robes where driping wet. she pulled them off to show a small thin body coverd in a white under shurt and black pants. her hair was long and a dark brown with a hint of gold from sun bleach. her eyes sparkled with a magic flame blue.
and her white wolves ears--witch seemed to be the strangest thing apon her--they seemed to twitch sometimes as thou she wa listening for movent outside. looking back up at him she asked "are there any robes i can borrow?" she coughed. he saw her face was slitly red. witch probly ment she had been in the rain and cold for a long time and probly had a cold.
Ahriman looked at her as he heard the words. She was truly beautiful...
"Ah, I think she's a full-demon, but not really a pureblood, something about the government made her. But she's demon nonetheless." He stood slowly and removed his green robes. Under them, he wore a grey vest and white button-up shirt and black trousers. His shoulder-length black hair had streaks of white in it, and was pulled into a low ponytail. "I'm certain that between me and the other demon--I'm not certain who she is--you will be protected here." He held out the robes. "And, I know they won't fit, but you can borrow mine...I don't know if there are any spares in here."
smiling at him she took the robes. they where slitly to big for her small body but never the less she put them on. "there warm..." she wisperd more to herself than to him. she stood up and stratend for a moment and then fell next to him on the couch. "my legs seem to be tired still." she laughed then coughed her face looked reder then before. "it's verry cold..." she said and she looked at Gage her eyes now looked tired but the blue flames still seemed to be going. even from next to him his face not at all that close to hers he could feel the heat coming from it. maybe a fever... if it was a fever it was a bad one becase he could feel it even from where he was.
He let out a sigh...she was extremely beautiful..."It looks like you were out in the cold for a while. There might be something around her to help..." He stood and looked around the room for anything--it was bare. "Or not." He looked back down at her angelic face. "Maybe I can find something back in the castle. Do you want to come with or stay or--you make the call."
looking into his hansom green eyes she smiled. "I dont think i should be alone--" she stoped her self again and continued from anew. "I mean..I would rather not be alone...could i come with you?"
He smiled at her. "Certainly," he replied in a friendly voice. He held out his arm to support her.
she stood shaking slitly and reached out and took his hand. her hands were verry soft and verry delecet. they felt as thou if you held on to them to hard they mite brake into millions of small peaces. "thank you Gage" she said her voice sounded beautiful almost as beautiful as her face and body. she grabed her hat put it on and walked out the door with him. it was still raining and it seemed to have gotin alot worse from the time they had been out in it awhile ago. the rain hammard onto there bodys as they walked even thou she had Gage's robes on she shook with cold. and Gage looked no better but he did not shake because of his strangth. he seemed to have a slitly worryed look on his face as he looked at her red face. she saw him looking at her and smiled. and walked up to the castle doors. when they reached the doors she looked extreamly tired and weak. her legs did not seem to walk to hold her up anymore because she feel down on her knee's. "I'm sorry Gage..my legs are tired from all this walking i've had to do all week long with no stop or rest..." she smiled as thou it ment nothing to not sleep or eat for a week then grabed his hand and got to her feet.
Ahriman looked at her as he frowned at himself. "I'm sorry, where are my manners? You shouldn't even be walking." With great ease, he picked her up in his arms before she knew what to do and carried her to the hospital wing.
