A New Beginning

By Silverwolves

Silverwolves: Hey Hey Hey! It's Chapter 13! I'm so exited! Sorry if it's boring I was like, Gah! Do something. (Whips chibi versions of characters) but then I was like oh well, not re-writing, can't make them wait. So then I was like Haha! Here you go! Eat it, use it hamster bedding, hand it in as homework, or burn it. Enjoy! I'm so confused right now. Ne?

ALSO PLEASE READ THIS! I've been thinking about skipping the second year of my characters year at Hogwarts, I have everything exciting planned for the following years and I would have started at the third year but I wanted to get in to the characters pasts. So if you would like the second year just say so, but it will be very VERY boring. That is all!

Summary: Taking place several years after Harry and his friends leave Hogwarts, this story follows the adventures of a shy werewolf, Caleb Lupin, (Remus Lupin's son), a mysterious vampire named Karmithius Dellon, a energetic half cat demon named Ryoku Leonne, and Akmed Sevmetto a sarcastic descendent of an Egyptian god.

Chapter 13

Hopefully

The Redwood Hotel was not a five star hotel. In fact it would be a huge complement if anyone were to even call it a one star hotel. Unfortunately for Kar it would be his home for the next 13 days. When Dumbledoor had explained to him about the situation, about the whole "you'll need to leave school for two weeks until your case comes up. Then you'll be either sentenced guilty or innocent. Is that clear?" No it was not clear. He obviously couldn't have killed the professor, yet just the fact that he was a vampire was apparently enough proof to condemn him.

So there he was sitting in tiny room with a moldy bed, a broken lamp, and a curtain with moth holes so big he could have easily fit his head through them. And he had his own private bathroom! Complete with a Loo, a rusty shower, and a sink!

The worst part of it was that he was on "House Arrest" meaning he wasn't allowed to leave the hotel. Meaning no hunting. Meaning he would probably go insane.

Meaning the only available food source was moths and mice.

And even he, a desperate vampire, would not sink that low.

When Ryoku and his friends arrived after one week of pure torture, he was all but happy.

He scented them coming up the stairs. Followed by the idiotic hotel manager with one eye.

"Kar are you in there?" he heard Ryoku ask from outside the door while knocking.

Where else would I be? Frolicking in the flowers?

Obviously he didn't say this but he did say; "Yes, come in."

Ryoku whipped open the door, she was soon followed by Alu, Akmed and Caleb, and Ms. Granger? What was she doing her? Then finally Walter the one eyed hotel manager.

Ryoku was shocked to see how Kar was living. Like an animal! She thought bitterly.

Kar himself looked even worse. If at all possible he was even paler from before, he looked anemic, and he looked so thin, like he might break in half.

The scariest thing was his eyes. The same cold icy blue, but they looked wild, crazy even.

"Kar!" she gasped. Despite the fact that he looked half-dead, she hugged him, feeling her heart sink a little. She hated the fact that she might not see him again.

"Hi..." Kar managed, feeling bad that he wasn't in a good mood.

"This place is awful! Is it legal to actually keep you here?" Akmed asked, as he walked around the room in shock and awe.

"Sure thang kid, now this hotel ain't the greatest, but it'll do jist fine fer keep'in a vampire ya know?" Walter smiled, speaking in his American and Southern accent.

"Hm." Akmed scratched his head, and then jumped on to the moldy bed like a frog.

"Can we talk to Kar alone at all? We're not going to plan an escape..." Akmed had on his sad, pathetic puppy face, which only worked on Ryoku and a few random girls he passed by in the halls.

"Well, since there is a grown-up in the room, I gis you can have yer little chat." Walter wiped his nose on his sleeve and left, barley fitting through the door frame.

Hermione sighed and sat down on the bed, feeling like a baby sitter, except, instead of babies, she has a crew of pre-teens ranging from the werewolf son of her old professor to an odd looking vampire boy who appeared to be older then he really was, plus these kids weren't goofy and juvenile, they were mature, brave, and truly amazing.

"We know you aren't guilty Kar!"

"Dumbledoor must know too!"

"You would never do anything like that!"

"This place totally sucks!"

Kar wanted to say more, but he was so tired, so hungry and he had a headache that could kill a cow.

So he settled with "Yes, I know." He rubbed his eyes, wanting to lie down on the bed, but for two reasons didn't.

1) Akmed was on it, and that would be weird.

2) It would be weird.

"Your going to be proven innocent, don't worry about it!" Ryoku said with false cheeriness.

"Then you can come back to school and everything will be totally normal again!" Alu said with enthusiasm, which was probably also fake.

"Yeah." He sighed, feeling stupid, because he couldn't respond with more then a few words.

After a long two hours of talking, his friends were showed to their rooms. (Akmed and Caleb shared a room and Alu and Ryoku shared a room...)

(AND THEY DIDN'T SLEEP TOGETHER SICKOS!)

That night there worries became nightmares.

Akmed was in school, walking through the halls, yet the halls seemed endless. He saw a figure, it's back turned to him; the figure was clad in all black and had matching long hair. The figure turned its head back; Akmed gasped in surprise.

It was Kar, his neck slashed, bleeding...

Akmed ran, down the long hallway using his dog form, but no matter how fast he ran, Kar remained the same distance away from him.

Ryoku was having a frightening dream of her own.

They were in large room, behind her sat rows and rows of people, to the left sat a jury and it front of her looming over everyone was a the judge.

She turned to and saw Kar, sitting with his head in his hands, waiting to be tried.

Ryoku was called forward by the judge, as a witness.

"So tell me..." he began. "Did Kar kill Professor Holloway?"

Ryoku tired to form the word "No." with her mouth but it came out as "Yes, he did."

"Very well." Said the Judge. "Karmithius Dellon, I herby sentence you to a lifetime in Azkaban!"

Kar looked up at Ryoku, with an angry expression he whispered hoarsely; "How could you?"

Ryoku shot up. She unclenched her fists and noticed her knuckles were white.

"Not real." She said aloud. "Kar isn't going to Azkaban."

She looked over at Alu, who was also awake.

"Alu?" She said, noticing her friend was sitting up stiffly.

"Ry-Ryok-ku..." Alu sobbed.

"Oh my God what is it?" Ryoku asked, running over to her friends bed, and climbing up on it.

"I-I had the-the w-worst dre-am!" Alu said crying even harder.

"It's Okay..." Ryoku hugged her. "It was just a dream!"

Alu glared at her with tears in her eyes. "You d-don't under-s-stand!" Alu put her head in her hands. "All my dreams come t-true! I'm a see-er!"

"Just, stay here, I'm going to go get the guys..." Ryoku got up.

"Don't get Kar." Alu whispered. "I don't want him to kn-know."

Ryoku was back in a flash, with Caleb at her heels and Akmed trailing behind looking pooped.

"What is it?" Caleb said, as the four kids squeezed onto the double bed.

"Oh Caleb!" Alu was rocking back and forth.

Caleb patted her shoulder awkwardly, and Alu buried her head into his chest. Caleb blushing tried his best to seem comforting.

"I-I saw Kar, he was in Azkaban. He-he was all alone. But-but then a man came in and he had a stake, and then..."Alu started sobbing again.

"That can't be true!" Said Ryoku loudly. "First of all he's a minor, second of all, he didn't kill anyone, and finally, even is he did kill someone, they wouldn't put his to death for it!"

"No." said Alu sadly, looking up. "There's another part. Azkaban doesn't hold vampires; they can't keep them alive, and vampires need blood. Any and all vampires, no matter what the age if convicted of murder are put to death, it's supposedly the humane thing to do, considering human food cannot sustain a vampire."

"That's insane! Kar is twelve, they can't kill him! No! It's unfair!" Ryoku was sobbing now too, and the boys were doing there best to stay brave.

"Wait a minute, how did you know all this?" Caleb asked.

"Before all this happened, we were speaking to Dumbledoor, we were telling him that Kar was innocent, then he explained to us about Azkaban, then something about there is one way to stop everything, something about a key, and magic we haven't discovered yet, or something, I can't really remember..." Alu trailed off, her mind was in a blur, she had hope for Kar, but every one of her visions had come true. How where they supposed to stop something that was certain to happen?

No one seemed to have much to say to that.

They sat in silence; there thoughts consuming. But they all knew, it was a silent promise, circling through them all...

Kar would not be left behind, they would save him, and then everything would go back to normal.

Or at least whatever was normal for a vampire, cat demon, seer, dog-god and werewolf.

Hopefully.

Silverwolves: Sorry it took long... feh, what can I say I have writers block! Don't kill me! Also, i didn't check for mistakes, I got too lazy... whatever... if you find any put it on your complaint list...

In reply to my reviewers...

xBloodxStainedxTearsx: Scoliosis is genetic I believe, but in my case it skipped a few generations, cuz no one has had it since like my great grandma's cousin or something... I'm sure (if you all are in middle school or over) that you've had that thing where they lift your shirt up and check for a curve... well that's for scoliosis, it's actually fairly common, just most people don't have to have surgery... 

wilddog14: Thank you! (you people are so nice ) I hope Kar's not guilty too, I guess we'll soon find out. Muhuhahaha!

Koari: Thankies muchly! Good luck w/ your fan-fic! I shall have to read it when you post... Harry P would make a good headmaster... I will keep up the good typing... (I think) unless I go into a vegetative state, or someone sicks eveil squirrels on me... (laughs) thanks again!

Chimichanga: Thanks a lot, your so sweet! Yes Kar is hot, and Caleb is adorable. Thank you, I don't have enough nice words to equal up to your lovely comments, I'm so glad that there are people out there that actually read this! (and like it) Thanks so so so much! I can't tell you what will happen next, but it will get interesting... and I hope you have dreams instead of nightmares!
