Hello Again

Darren held me, whether to comfort or contain me, I don't know. We sat, hidden by trees and bushes, and waited. It must have been an hour, just to make sure. When I was sure they were gone I ran and climbed the tree. The house was thrashed! Chairs broken and sofas torn. I looked in my room as the boys checked the others. I came out and sighed in relief… no bodies.

When all three of us were out in the room we heard chuckling. There appeared Lucius, Bellatrix, Nott and Avery. Jason took out his pistol; Darren also took one out, they must have picked them up from the rooms. I took out my wand.

"Oh, look the Senon girl and two muggle brats," Avery taunted.

"I'm glad you know who I am, Avery. Now leave," I hissed.

"I don't think we will," Lucius said.

"Touch us and Voldemort won't be happy," I stated.

"What do you think we are doing here if it wasn't for the Dark Lord?" Nott laughed.

"And you shouldn't taint his name by saying it, Mudblood," Bellatrix sneered.

"I'm so scared."

"Scourgify."

I doubled over choking on soap bubbles. Man was it disgusting! I gasped out the counter curse. I wiped the bubbles and soap from my lips and spat in Lucius's face, he was the closest to me. I fell to the floor my hand going to my face where blood was coming from a cut made by his ring. Darren moved in front of me only to be laughed at.

"What do you think you are going to do? Accio guns," Both of the guns zoomed into Avery's hands.

I shook my head and stood up, "Stupefy!" and down went Nott, smirk and all.

"Expelliarmus!" Stupid wand was shot out of my hand. Cords came out of Lucius's wand to wrap around me. Jason and Darren had similar fates. I bit his, Lucius's, hand when he came to wipe blood from my cheek. This time he full on punched me and I blacked out.

When I woke up I realized we were in the dungeons at Hogwarts.

"I'm going to kill him," I groaned as I grabbed my head.

I felt arms wrap around me and I leaned into them.

"I don't see any ruins, is this Hogwarts?" Jason asked trying to see into the corridor.

"Yes, it is. I wonder why you can see it?" I whispered leaning on Darren's shoulder.

"Because my Daddio is twisted and switched the spells. He thinks that a real castle is more intimidating to muggles. He also doesn't believe me when I say I'm a Hufflepuff!" A familiar voice said.

I moaned and hid my face in Darren's chest, "Tell her to go away."

Jason brushed the hair out of Jayden's eyes, "I though you were dead before they found me."

"Nah. What's on your face Ela?" Jayden asked catching sight of the dried blood, "Who did that? Come here."

I crawled over to the bars and we exchanged a hug. She unclasped my chain and slipped on the pendant and then clasped it again. I smiled faintly and winced, slightly, as she took her wand and washed my cut.

"I'll try to get you out. I have to go," She sighed, hugged Jason and left.

My only comfort was that, as far as I knew, Remus and everyone else got away. I fell asleep and woke up to loud shouts. Darren and Jason were being led out, their hands tied behind their backs. I was pulled up by my hair, which hurts. I was going to kick but I wanted to live a while longer. So I let them lead me into the Great Hall. The huge tables were gone. One table was placed where Slytherin Table used to be. Instead of the Head Table on the dais two thrones stood.

Stupid snake eyes. He really was an ugly King of the World. Said King was one of the many people I was not going to be bowing to. Did I mention of my own free will? I felt Avery kick me behind my knees.

"Loosen these knots and try that again, I dare you," I hissed through clenched teeth.

Avery slapped my face reopening the cut. I saw Jayden shaking her head. Then to eat on my already raw nerves, Voldemort started laughing. Then all the Death Eaters started laughing. I rested on my knees in-between Darren and Jason.

"The mudblood has spirit," Voldemort clapped. I swear you would think he was a kid at Christmas. There was no way in the abyss that I was going to become his toy.

"I wouldn't be talking about 'dirty blood'… half blood," I sneered.

"Pain has little effect on you. How about this? Crucio," Voldemort stated eyes flashing as Darren fell over twisting in agony.

"STOP!" Jason, Jayden and I all yelled.

Darren lay there gasping for breath. I glared at Voldemort but quickly lowered my eyes as he raised a questioning eyebrow.

"You've made your point," I whispered. Pride comes before the fall? Curse the personage who created that saying.

"So, you do learn? Good. My daughter," I bit back a laugh, "Has requested you three become her servants. Why? I do not know what she sees in the muggles." He turned to Jayden, who has remained unbelievably calm and quiet, and said, "You may have the muggles. The Senon girl I shall have serve me. No. She still has disobedience and pride written in her eyes. It is my will to break it. You may however talk amongst the four of you for tonight only."

Wow, how nice. I was dragged up to Ravenclaw Tower. Once inside I was thrown, literally, on top of Darren on the floor. Avery and Nott left.

Jayden came around untying us, "Well, that could have been worse."

I held a washcloth to my cheek, "You got my tower? So unfair."

"I wanted to get Hufflepuff's dorms but, no, everyone became suspicious of my fanatic…er-obsession that I was in about that house," Jayden rolled her eyes as Jason then hugged her.

"Well, at the least Darren and Jason are under your protection," I stated, "Oh Darren."

I came over and knelt beside him. He was a deathly pale. He was shaking and so I put my arms around him, "Stupid Cruciatus," After we gave him some hot cocoa he calmed down.

When everyone was back to normal. Jason talked about all that had happened since he met up with the others.

Darren interrupted around the part of the sword fight, "you say Jason and I will be protected. What about Ela?"

"Oh, stupid chores that he would make a house elf do. Only one problem… Yes, your temper. He wishes to 'break' you so he may only cause you pain. Though if you push to hard, Ela, he may come after them," Jayden said.

I rolled my eyes and went to the window, "If we get Artemis to get a message to Remus, he's seen the pouch, then we can get him to sneak to Hogsmeade and meet them."

"How are you planning to make the two 'vanish'?" Jayden questioned.

"Harry, to get me to like him, showed me the Marauder's Map. Honestly, like I could ever like him," The dumbfounded expressions on the boys mixed with a little anger on Darren's face was priceless. "I know how to get them into Honey duke's cellar."

"We will have to wait a while to not arouse suspicion," Jayden imputed.

"Will you take them?" I asked.

Darren seemed to come to his senses; "I am not leaving you here!"

"Do you think I would either after I've finally learned that you're safe?" Jason added.

"You're not used to this world," I countered.

"We'll get used to it!" Jason exasperated.

"Lets all play nicely," Jayden cut in. She waved her wand and a couch was placed on the side. Two targets were placed on the wall. She threw a bow at Jason, took one for herself, and walked to stand across from one of the targets.

I picked up a sword and stood facing Darren. After ten minutes I became aware of Jason and Jayden sitting on the couch watching us, talk about ADD.

I crossed blades with Darren, "You're going."

Darren pushed me back as he hissed, "I'm staying."

I heard Jayden say, "10 bucks saying Elenza abandons her sword first."

Jason chuckled as Darren dropped his sword and grabbed my wrists, "Looks like you owe me ten bucks."

Jayden smirked, "You won't make me pay, will you?" She then poured water on his head.

Jason yelped, "No, we're even."

Unlucky for me, that distraction enabled Darren to twist the blade from my wrist. He pushed me against the wall blocking my way with his arms. I smirked and slipped under his arm. I turned only to be tackled to the ground.

Darren smirked, "Pinned ya."

I twisted until I was on top and hissed, "That line belongs to Nala, not Simba. Staying is to dangerous for you."

He laughed and threw me across the room, "I laugh in the face of danger."

Jayden muttered, "Remember what happened after those words were spoken."

I got up and tackled Darren back to the ground, "Does it not occur to you that you can and probably will be hurt just because of me? Once I lose my temper, which I shall. You will be put under the Cruciatus again."

Darren twisted so he was back on top, "Pinned ya again and besides the curse didn't hurt that bad."

I looked at him and whispered, "You lie."

Stupid boy kissed me and then smirked, "I know but, I'm still not leaving."

"Fine," I rolled my eyes and pushed him off of me.

"Bravo, bravo. Good show," Jayden said. Somehow in that short time I was unaware of them acquiring popcorn.

The night passed and somehow we fell asleep in front of the fire in the Common Room.
