Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter I would have a say in whether or not Alfonso comes back. Since I do not have a say in it, though I hope he doesn't, I do not own Harry Potter.

Recording and Jason

I lead the way to the Northern edge of Sherok Forest. I continued on in silence until we came to a large oak tree. Darren went up first and I followed him into a hidden cabin or tree house, whatever.

"Why did you get to go first?" I pouted as everyone came in and sat on the numerous chairs, sofas, and beanbags.

"So sorry, I would have said ladies first but, the title didn't fit," Darren shrugged.

I watched Harry walk over to the stereo system. I was going to warn him; honestly, it just slipped my mind at the last moment.

I smirked as two feminine voices sang off key, "It's a small world after all."

A male voice cut in, "Shut-"

I mimicked the girls and sang along, "-It's a small world after all."

Darren took his cue, "Up."

"It's a small, small world."

Playing true to his part Darren tackled me with an identical yell to the record. He started tickling me just as the recorded laughs died out. Darren sat up and helped me too. Everyone was staring as though we had each grown an extra head, hey that might be cool.

"What in Merlin's name was that?" Ron asked.

"That Weasel, was a recording of two girls tormenting a guy." I responded, sympathy only stretched so far.

"And then of said guy getting revenge on said girls," Darren finished.

"I can't believe you asked after we practically reanacted it for you!" I exasperated, arms flailing.

"We were only missing Jay," Darren nodded.

"Jay?" Ron asked, was he thick or what.

"Yeah, you know Jayden Telyon. The girl you have labeled 'devil child.' You didn't even know her."

Remus came over and put his hands on my shoulders. I took a deep breath and shook my head. I took Darren into one of the three rooms. Darren smiled at the posters and swords all hanging up.

"Yes, I'm still a freak about LOTR. Yes, Ron Weasley is my rival. Yes, Remus can calm me down… most of the time," I said as I stretched out on top of my bed.

Darren laid down next to me. I shuddered and felt his arm go around me as we sat up and I asked, "What happened to them?"

He was quiet for a long time. I saw his eyes mist over and I hugged him to comfort us both. When he spoke his voice was far awy, "We heard screaming outside. My father went out… he never came back. My mother told Jason and me to get out. She was by the front door when I heard a crash and her sream. I ran to my room and saw Jason run North. I figured he ran here then I hid in the room beyond my closet."

We were silent I remembered his parents. The nicest people you could ever meet. Jason was my age but, he still had the shaggy brown hair like his brother. We heard yells coming from outside my door. I groaned as we got up. Darren seemed to be back to the present. We opened the door to see a boy with a pistol circling around and everyone on the outside pointing their wands at the boy.

"In the name of the abyss!" I rolled my eyes and followed Darren to embrace the boy.

I smacked the boy over the head after I hugged him, "Do you know what you've been doing to us? Jason, honestly, where have you been for the last hour?"

Jason looked sheepish; "I was asleep in Darren's room. I woke up to a not so welcome recording. I searched for a gun and waited until it was quiet."

Darren had already taken the weapon from his little brother. I sighed and snapped my fingers in front of the others' faces, "Hello, this is a message from the present. We would love it if you would join us."

Soon everyone was awake and the introductions were made. WE were all sitting down discussing plans. I was inbetween Darren and Jason on a couch when Jason states, "Can't we just go and take back Hogwarts?"

"There's only a small problem of us being out numbered and you two muggles only seeing the ruins of the blasted place," Ron responded.

"Yes, but, Harry has his map and we have the element of surprise," I add.

"Yes, so we can get by the first hundred. Then we can have tea with the others," Ron retorts sarcastically.

"I really don't wish to finish a fight right now," I got up and walked outside.

Good thing I did too. Artemis flew down to my arm. I took the note and sat down absently stroking Artemis as I read:

E

I warned you. I told you not to go back. Of course you go back. You better be alive after that fiasco. Tell me that the bros. are fine? Stupid Death Eaters heard the cracks from people apparating. It's so boring here! Still no word about Liz. Oh, I got Draco and Pansy to sing our song! Bwhahahahahahaha!

"Go back to Jayden," I took the dragon pendant from my necklace and placed it in the pouch. I watched, saddly, as he flew off.

I turned and walked back into the house. Surprise, surprise a fight was being broken up. The real surprise was that was Harry and Jason.

"Did I miss something?" I looked at the others in the room. Darren was holding Jason, while the Weasel was containing Harry.

"The little scar-head wanted to lead a search party for you," Jason hissed.

"What are you Malfoy's twin? Plus, none of us hould be going out alone," Harry countered.

The room was lacking adults. They must all be asleep. I turned back to the actual occupants of the room. I laughed at Darren's expression.

"Harry, that insult is not copy righted to Draco Malfoy. Jason," to him I just rolled my eyes and he smirked, "Let's see, now why don't we all play nicely. Darren and Jason go to my room. I'm guessing the adults took the others, considering the others have multiple beds. Harrey, Ginny, Weasel and twins can stay out here."

I followed Darren and Jason into my room. Jason just sat there with the look of pure innocence.

"I would wipe that smirk off my face if I were you. Then again if you don't then I guess I don't have to show you the letter from Jayden."

It was needless to say Jason sat up straighter. Wouldn't you, if you could hear news about your girl friend? I laughed and gave them the letter. Jason looked relieved until I told him what's really happened in the world, then he looked worried. Darren raised a suspicious eyebrow at me.

"What did you send her?" he asked.

"Do you take me for a fool?" I sighed as I showed him the plain simple chain. He understood, afterall, he was the one who gave me the pendant.

"So, when are we going? What! You can't expect me to sit here, while she's out there!" Jason stated impatiently.

I shook my head, "I can't. I promised Remus that I wouldn't go out there without permission. He barely let me go and find your house. Of course, that's because Jayden told me not to. So, I can't go."

"What's the deal with this Remus dude?" Jason asked.

"He's the one who kept me from going on the suicide mission you are proposing."

"You say that like it's a good thing! She's your sister!"

"If your blinded by blood lust and your judgement is altered it's not safe to go on any mission. This, Remus, kept Elenza safe and for that I'm grateful and you should be too!" Darren reprimanded his brother.

Jason threw up his hands, "I'm sorry, okay?"

"Nah, I don't think you mean it." I said as I threw a pillow at him.

What then happened was a two on one pillow fight. It ended with me on the floor being tickled by the two boys. Finaly they helped me up. I crossed my arms and pouted, "You would help him against me?"

Darren laughed as he handed me a sword, "Ah, Ela, he's kin."

I took the sword as the others grabbed one each and we snuck passed the sleeping people. We got down to the ground and we walked a little bit away. Then Jason took up his stance across from me. We fought and parried for a few minutes until I tripped him and put my sword to his throat.

"You cheated," he said.

"Pirate," I shrugged.

Darren laughed and we took are places. This mock-fight lasted a bit longer then the last one. Darren and I were a bit more evenly matched. Jason preferred the bow, or a gun. After about ten minutes I found myself backed against a tree with both my and his sword crossed against my neck. I glared at Jason to make him stop clapping, he took the hint. I turned my glare to Darren, who was smirking.

"You're lucky I like you. Otherwise it wouldn't be hard for me to make that smirk dissappear," I hissed.

"Ah, you know you love me," He laughed.

"That's the problem. Now, let me go."

He started shaking his head and tutting as Jason came over and then said together, "Magic words?"

"In your dreams?"

"Ela, pride comes before the fall. Now say that you yeild," Darren said. He made the gap smaller, I pushed further against the tree so I wouldn't get cut.

"I yield," I whispered loud enough for them to hear. Darren moved the swords away.

"You need to be quicker with your back hand slashes," Darren stated as we walked back.

Jason had stopped in front of us before he grabbed us and pulled us behind a large oak. He pressed a finger to his lips as we peeked out behind the tree. I bit my lips to hold in the cry on them. Death Eaters is what we saw.
