Myshawolf, Lunithoron, ThiefOfSpoons, Dinybones are sitting around a fire
made of Old test papers, plot bunnies, AP assignments, and badly graded
essay. Each is holding a stick over the fire. Myshawolf pulls hers out and
makes a s'more. She looks up and smiles.
MW: Hello. Since I didn't get any flames and I really wanted S'mores. We decided to burn anything of ours that we really disliked.
Luinthorn: I can't believe only one person review. (makes a s'more)
DB: Yeah, you. (Checks her marshmallow and puts back into the fire.) Mysha, where's Nymphgirl with the rest of the kindle.
NymphGirl enters with her old Homework assignments: and tosses them on the fire: Sorry I'm late.
MW: It's okay. Hey Nymph could ya do the disclaimer?
Nymph: Certainly. Mysha doesn't own a blessed thing except The Guardians and the Le Fayes. (Mysha hands her a s'more.) Thanks.
Thief jumps up: I got it. I know how to destroy the world of Harry Potter.
Luinthorn forces him to sit down: Can it, Thief.
DB: Yeah, or no s'mores for you.
Thief grumbles to himself. He glares at the audience: Well, what are you looking at? Get on with the story.
Treasure of Atlantis Chapter 2- Surprise, Surprise.
Kaori walk graciously through Diagon Alley. Around her, students milled about, checking their lists for school supplies. Kaori smiled as she thought about returning to Hogwarts. Hogwarts, she hoped she would be safe there. Until then she had a wedding to attend. Kaori continued to make her way toward The Leaky Cauldron. That was where Essie said they'll meet her. Quickly, she moved through the crowd.
Snape noticed the redhead fighting through the crowd to get to the Leaky Cauldron or at least in that direction. He craned his neck to get a better look at her, but the swirling crowd began blocking her from his sight. Snape was about go after her when he caught Draco's grin. Snape scowled at him, and then smiled gently. Draco and Snape became closer over the pass few days. (Not that way, hentai.)
"So, Professor, what had your attention?" Draco asked off handedly as they continued down Diagon Alley.
"I thought I saw someone who I recognized." Snape stated simply, "I was wrong."
"Oh," Draco sighed he stared ahead, "Can I ask you a question, Professor? It's kind of personal."
Snape looked at Draco waiting for him to continue. Draco noticed Snape's look and felt to need to hurry through the question, "Why did you take me in?"
Snape looked at Draco with curiosity. He gazed lingered on the key that hung around his new charges' neck. Unconsciously he placed his hand on the base of his own throat. He could feel the key through his robe. A promise that he would always keep to the giver of the key, that's why he began wearing the key again. He hadn't put it on since the first fall of Voldemort. He didn't need it then. But now with the dreams and from what Draco told him, he may need it again. Draco tugged on his sleeve to get Severus's attention.
Snape cleared his throat and answered honestly, "I'm repaying a debt I owe someone from long ago. She saved my life once as well. I don't remember what she looked like, but she offered me a chance to change my life around. I accepted it since all she asked if I try to save another's life in the future.
I also did it because you remind me of myself when I was your age. I can see you making the same mistakes and regrets. You deserve more than a lifetime of servitude to some megalomaniac. There are times I can feel a great power resting inside you and Mr. Potter. When you two are near each other, the room seems to vibrate from it. I like to think I can help protect that from falling in the wrong hands. You need to determine your destiny, Draco Malfoy. I can't do it for you."
Draco was about to comment and found he didn't know what to say. Snape just smiled and ruffled his hair as they entered Flourish and Blotts. For the first time, Draco felt happy and secure. He liked that feeling . Meanwhile, Harry was ready to pick his supplies. However, Sirius insisted they stay in the Leaky Cauldron for a few minutes. He gave Harry the excuse that they needed to wait for Remus. Harry snorted to himself, since he didn't believe a word of it. But he knew something was up since Gaia was here in normal clothing. Or at least he thought she was Gaia, the Guardian of Earth. She fit Essie's description of the older guardian. Harry took another sip of his butterbeer, when the door opened and a beautiful redhead walked in. Harry smiled at her since he recognized her as Essie's best friend. Kaori walked over to Harry and gave him a hug.
"Knowledge, what are you doing here?" Harry asked.
Kaori admonished him gently, "Call me Kaori or Dr. Aquarius. I'm incognito right now." then continued in a friendlier tone, "I was invited. I heard what happened. You showed great courage. Lethe told me your parents have been bragging about you."
Harry blushed at the mention of his parents. He never told Essie, but secretly hoped she would take him to the valley so he could meet them face to face. Dreams can only do so much. Harry opened his mouth to say something when a cry silenced him. Essie ran across the room and enveloped her friend in a tight hug. Kaori heartily returned it. She missed Essie during the year she spent in hiding. The two friends broke the hug and stared at each other. Both commenting on how the neither had changed much.
"Are we finally ready to get this show on the road? Harry still needs to get his supplies." Lightning commented dryly as she and Nightmare entered the Pub. Harry smiled brightly at the two.
"What's going on, Essie?" Harry asked.
Essie smiled, "Sirius and I are getting married before you go to school. We figured you would want a true family seeing you off on the first. Granted, we'll be on the train with you."
"Really? Maybe I'll hitch a ride with you." Kaori smirked, "Since I'm going to Hogwarts as well. I'm going to teach a class."
Harry seemed surprised to hear that as was Essie. Kay just smiled at them when Sirius joined them. Gaia just sighed as she tapped Essie's shoulder. Essie came out of her shock.
"It's time." Gaia smiled.
The wedding ceremony was small and simple. Harry watched from the position as one of the Best man. Sirius and Essie seemed ecstatic to finally be married. However, Remus seemed sad, almost distant through out the ceremony. Harry was about to ask him, when Nightmare motioned at him not to. At the end, Remus seemed to have snapped out of what ever was bothering him. He smiled brightly as he shook Essie and Sirius's hands. Nightmare walked over to Harry. She whispered, "He was dreaming about what could have been long ago. I don't think he would have been too happy if you snapped him out of it."
"You mean he was in love with someone once."
"Yuppers. Deeply in love with your father's cousin and chased her away because he loved her. I swear men really should let the women do the thinking in a relationship." Nightmare snorted, "Well, let's get you those supplies."
Harry nodded. Gaia was already gone as was Kaori. Remus made his excuses that he had to return to Hogwarts to prepare for school and tell everyone the good news. Nightmare said her good byes while Lightning hugged everyone. In a rare show of affection, Nightmare hugged Essie. Harry could swear she was crying. The two left so quickly, he couldn't tell. Essie smiled at Sirius and Harry.
"Let's go shopping." She stated jokingly. The three left the Leaky Cauldron and entered the busy streets of Diagon Alley.

Draco walked into Madame Malkin's Robe Shop. Professor Snape was next door looking at potion ingredients. Draco smiled to himself. He liked staying with Snape; it was like staying with a beloved uncle. Draco walked over to the counter. A nice looking witch peeked up at him and smiled.
"Here for some Hogwarts Robes, are you dearie?" She asked gently.
Draco nodded, "And a new dress robe. My old one has an awful tear in it."
"Step this way."
Draco nodded as he followed her. A young girl was already standing on a stool. One of the seamstresses was fitting a grey plaid skirt and black blouse for her. The girl looked at Draco and smiled. Her eyes twinkled with mirth as she stood there. Draco was taken back by the color of her eyes. One was a sapphire blue while the other was honey brown. Her hair was pulled back and was the color chocolate with hints of gold.
"Hi, sugah. Are you here to be tortured too?" The girl joked with a foreign accent. Draco frowned as he tried to place it and failed.
"I guess." he said deciding to play along.
"Thank heavens. Ah thought Ah was going to be all alone back here."
"Are you going to Hogwarts?" Draco commented eyeing the strange uniform. The girl noticed his stare and giggled, "Nay, Ah am going to school at Marie Laveau's Academy Of Majick."
Draco never heard of that school and was genuinely curious, "Where is that?"
"N'Awlins, Louisiana," she chuckled at his blank look, "That's in America."
"Oh, you mean New Orleans."
"That's what Ah said. N'Awlins."
Draco blinked and began to laugh. The girl joined him. After a few minutes, Draco calmed down and grinned at the girl.
"So what house are you in?" the girl asked.
"Slytherin."
"Really. I never met anyone from there. What is it like?"
"It's very ambitious. Everyone is trying to be the best or better than anyone else. You have to watch your own back cause no one else will."
"Survival of the Fittest, huh?"
"I guess you can look at it that way. It's very restrictive."
"Ah don't think Ah would like it there. I hate being classified. My school is very open. You get all types there. Vampires, Werewolves, Muggles, and Wizards, they are allowed to mingle. Ah even think we have a few half giants and half breeds there."
"That's interesting. How does everyone get along?"
"We just do."
The seamstress finished tacking everything and stood up, "You are all set, my dear. Just go and change. I'll let your mother know."
"Thank you." The girl smiled, and turned to Draco, "It was nice talking to ya all."
She jumped down and disappeared into one of the changing rooms. Draco felt his heart beat a little fast when she reemerged in a pair of khaki shorts and a green tank top. She flashed him a smile as she disappeared to the front of the store. He could hear a few voices talking and the door open and closed. Soon Snape's voice reached his ears as the professor inquired as to his whereabouts. Snape's head peeked in as the seamstress was finishing up.
"We are going to have to hurry. I just saw your mother. It seems Lucius is in Diagon Alley and he is furious." Snape informed Draco.
"Is Mum all right?" Draco asked anxiously, "Dad didn't hurt her?"
"No. Considering the company she is in, he would have to be stupid to try. She is fine. But we need to leave. I gave her a copy of your list and she will pick up the rest and send it to Hogwarts for you."
The seamstress seemed to sense the urgency and stepped away, "You go change, young man. I can alter the rest based off this robe. You better hurry."
"Thank you." Draco stated as he stepped down and hurried into the dressing room.

Lucius watched his wife move from store to store buying things for their son. He would find Draco soon. Narcissa knew where the brat was, he was sure of it. The only draw back was the company his wife was keeping. Because walking with his wife and helping her were the two most powerful witch and wizard in the world.
The witch was an old woman with beautiful white hair. Her eyes were a beautiful mahogany color and reflected years of experience that only one who has lived a while would have. The Wizard was as old as his wife. His head was grey with flecks of white in it. He wore a kilt of the Clan Macgregor colors. His shirt was of the style of the Middle Ages. His grey eyes were on a sharp look out for any danger. Scott MacGregor Le Faye didn't deal well with anyone who threatened anyone he cared about. His wife Morgaine Le Faye was the same way.
They were the reason why The Ministry of Magic held off on trying to prosecute the Le Fayes. You just don't mess with a family that was that huge or powerful. Also factor that their home was protected by two of the rarest and deadliest dragons in the world, an Ice Dragon and a Shadow Dragon.
Lucius's eyes narrowed on his sweet wife as she picked out some thing else for their darling son. Lucius growled to himself. He still doesn't understand how his son escaped from the room. It was mind boggling when Lucius opened the closet only to find it empty. There was powerful magic at work here.
His eyes narrowed as a young girl with golden brown hair and mismatched eyes about Draco's age joined the group. She presented Narcissa with a package from Madame Malkin's. Narcissa thanked the girl with a smile. The girl walked with them as they went from shop to shop looking at the items on display.
Lucius was about to move when he heard a voice that sent chills down his spine. He turned and came face to face with Death herself. Essie smiled nastily at the poor Death Eater. She saw Lucius following his wife and decided to scare the idiot away.
"I knew I spotted a rat." Essie growled.
"You?!"
"Yeah, me. I suggest you leave her alone before I up your death date myself. She won't show where he is. She'll die before she tells you." Essie warned.
"He is my son."
"No he isn't. You only want him to do your bidding. You won't get the Dragon knight that easily. Not with Fear watching over him. You remember MacNair?" Essie asked, when Lucius nodded she continued, "Well take a good look at him. You'll become like that, if you try anything with the boy."
"Is that a threat?"
"No. It's a warning and a promise."
With that said, Essie walked away. She crossed the street and rejoined her husband. Sirius glared at Lucius until Essie urged him on to Flourish and Blotts. Harry glanced behind them to see Lucius glare at them before leaving. He didn't like that look in Malfoy's eyes. In fact it scared the hell of him. Essie didn't seem fazed as they entered the bookstore. Harry smiled when he heard Hermione shout out to him.
"Harry, there you are. We have been looking all over for you." Hermione cried as she hugged Harry. Ron walked up and shook Harry's hand.
"I'm sorry. I would have been here earlier but I had a wedding to attend." Harry informed them. Hermione and Ron smiled at Essie and Sirius who beamed back.
"So you are really here to stay, Ms. Sauterne." Ron asked.
"It's Mrs. Black now and yes I'm here to stay." Essie stated calmly.
A cheer rose from the group of Harry's friends. Harry cheered the loudest. Molly and Arthur walked up at the sound, curious to what was going on. Sirius and Essie informed them of the occasion.
Molly smiled, "That's wonderful. You two must come to dinner sometime to celebrate it."
"Actually, Molly We was going to throw a formal wedding in the spring. Essie and I are kind of fuzzy as to how to plan it with teaching and all." Sirius stated.
"We were hoping if you and Arthur could give us a hand with it. I'm still new to this country and not to sure about how your customs work." Essie finished.
Molly turned a shade of pink and agreed, "Of course, my dear. I'm glad to help in any way I can."
"Ringraziarlo, il mia amica." Essie gushed in her native language.
"Your welcome, I think." Molly smiled.
Essie laughed softly. Harry grinned as he and the others snuck away from the adults to get their books. Harry, Ron, and Hermione Disappeared down an aisle to talk.
"So where's Draco? He said he was going to meet us here." Harry asked.
"Not too sure. He never showed up. Ginny thinks he saw him earlier." Ron remarked off handily.
"We were hoping you knew." Hermione added.
"I have no idea. I hope he is okay." Harry replied worried.
"Excuse me, Are you friends of my son, Draco?" a woman asked.
The threesome turned to see Narcissa Malfoy stand at the mouth of the aisle. Her arms were loaded with books. Harry thought she seemed paler than when he saw her at the World Cup. They nodded to her. She smiled softly, giving her face a beautiful and youthful look.
"I'm his mother, Narcissa Malfoy." Narcissa greeted them.
"I'm Harry Potter. This is Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger." Harry introduced himself and Ron and Hermione.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Narcissa nodded, 'I'm sorry, but you just missed Draco. He had to leave because his father is trying to find him. I'm sure you will see him at King's Cross."
"Why is he hiding from his father?" Ron asked.
"That's something he needs to tell you. Please watch out for him at Hogwarts for me. I feel better knowing he is safely among friends."
Harry nodded, "We will, Mrs. Malfoy."
Relief washed over Narcissa's face that Harry felt better for her. She thanked them and turned to leave when Scott and Morgaine joined her. Ron stiffened at the sight of them and tried pulling Hermione and Harry away.
"Here let me take some of these books, Narcissa." Scott suggested in his thick Scottish brogue.
"Thank you, Mr. Le Faye." Narcissa smiled as she handed him some books. Harry dug his heels in the ground at the name Le Faye. He stared at the two strangers in awe. These were members of his family. He opened his mouth to speak.

"Actually, Molly We was going to throw a formal wedding in the spring. Essie and I are kind of fuzzy as to how to plan it with teaching and all." Sirius stated.
"We were hoping if you and Arthur could give us a hand with it. I'm still new to this country and not to sure about how your customs work." Essie finished.
Molly turned a shade of pink and agreed, "Of course, my dear. I'm glad to help in any way I can."
"Ringraziarlo, il mia amica." Essie gushed in her native language.
"Your welcome, I think." Molly smiled.
Essie laughed softly. Harry grinned as he and the others snuck away from the adults to get their books. Harry, Ron, and Hermione Disappeared down an aisle to talk.
"So where's Draco? He said he was going to meet us here." Harry asked.
"Not too sure. He never showed up. Ginny thinks he saw him earlier." Ron remarked off handily.
"We were hoping you knew." Hermione added.
"I have no idea. I hope he is okay." Harry replied worried.
"Excuse me, Are you friends of my son, Draco?" a woman asked.
The threesome turned to see Narcissa Malfoy stand at the mouth of the aisle. Her arms were loaded with books. Harry thought she seemed paler than when he saw her at the World Cup. They nodded to her. She smiled softly, giving her face a beautiful and youthful look.
"I'm his mother, Narcissa Malfoy." Narcissa greeted them.
"I'm Harry Potter. This is Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger." Harry introduced himself and Ron and Hermione.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Narcissa nodded, 'I'm sorry, but you just missed Draco. He had to leave because his father is trying to find him. I'm sure you will see him at King's Cross."
"Why is he hiding from his father?" Ron asked.
"That's something he needs to tell you. Please watch out for him at Hogwarts for me. I feel better knowing he is safely among friends."
Harry nodded, "We will, Mrs. Malfoy."
Relief washed over Narcissa's face that Harry felt better for her. She thanked them and turned to leave when Scott and Morgaine joined her. Ron stiffened at the sight of them and tried pulling Hermione and Harry away.
"Here let me take some of these books, Narcissa." Scott suggested in his thick Scottish brogue.
"Thank you, Mr. Le Faye." Narcissa smiled as she handed him some books. Harry dug his heels in the ground at the name Le Faye. He stared at the two strangers in awe. These were members of his family. He opened his mouth to speak.
