Okay, hello! I have decided to add the next chapter to this story because I can. Well, I am sorry that I have neglected this story, but I have other priorities. Anyway, I hope those of you who might read this chapter enjoy it!
Chapter Two: "Of Stalkers and Secrets"
"So, how are you doing so far, Lisa?"
"I'm just fine, Marie. How 'bout you?" Marie sat down in the empty seat next to Lisa and started pulling her books out. "Let me guess: homework problems again?" Marie smiled sheepishly.
"You know me too well, Lisa. It's this Defense Against the Dark Arts stuff. What are we supposed to know?"
"Marie, what am I going to do with you? If you really need help, why don't you go talk to Professor Lupin? He can help you more than I can. Besides, I need to finish my own homework before I can do anything else," said Lisa, turning her attention back to the parchment in front of her. Marie glared at Lisa, then picked up her stuff and stormed out of the library. Lisa glanced up, then shook her head. She pulled out the letter she'd originally been working on, signed it, kissed the paper, and placed her seal on it.
"Who does she think she is? Her homework has never stopped her from helping me before. Oh well, I guess it would be better if I went and talked to the teacher." Marie continued down the empty halls to Professor Lupin's classroom. As she approached the classroom, she heard angry voices coming from another classroom across the hall.
"You can't be serious? Why the hell not?"
"Because I said so, you ignorant little twerp! Keep up that attitude and I'll be forced to go to the Headmaster's office."
"Oh, I'm so scared. Just do what I ask you to and follow the stupid girl! I want to know why they're here, where they're from, and anything else you can find out." At this point, Marie decided to into Lupin's classroom. As she opened the door, Marie looked around her. Lupin was sitting at his desk with his hands folded in front of him. Draco Malfoy was standing at the desk with a paper in his hands.
"Oh, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt. I'll come back later." Marie turned to go.
"Wait, Miss Tyler. Do come in. It's all right," said Draco.
"Are you sure? I don't want to interrupt," added Marie quietly.
"Oh no, by all means do come in. Mr. Malfoy was just asking me about today's homework assignment. Is that why you're here?"
"Yes. Lisa refused to help me," Marie said in disgust.
"Ah," said Lupin with a smile. "Well, let's see what Mr. Malfoy and I can do to help you. Mr. Malfoy here is one of the top students in my class, so he's very qualified to help."
"Psh. I am not. Granger is more qualified than I could ever be. Don't listen to him, Ms. Tyler."
"Marie, please. What do you want us to write for our homework? I know quite a bit about werewolves myself, but I don't quite get what it is you're asking."
"Well, what he wants is how you recognize a werewolf in both its human form and its other form. He also wants the potion that will help a werewolf to stay sane during the full moon." Draco smiled at Marie, who was writing down what he had said. When she was done writing, she looked up at Lupin.
"Is that all?"
"Yep, that's all I want. Does that help you?"
"Yes. Thank you, Professor Lupin, Mr. Malfoy. I'll see you tomorrow." With that, Marie bounced out of the classroom. As she continued down the hall, she noticed that somebody had fallen in step with her.
"Hello, Mr. Malfoy," she said with a knowing smile.
"And a hello to you, Miss Tyler. How are things suiting you here?"
"Okay, I guess."
"I want to ask you something, and if you think I'm out of line, you can hit me, okay?"
"O...kay. What's your question?" (A/N: There is a bit of out-of-characterness in this story, but that's just how I write. Carry on.)
"Why did you transfer here?" Marie remained silent for a few minutes before saying anything.
"We need to sit down. There's absolutely no way, under any circumstances, that I will answer that question here. Too many students could be listening."
"Are you paranoid?"
"Yes and no. goodness knows what goes on around here. Come on." Draco raised his eyebrows, but he followed her anyway. Marie led him to an empty classroom on the Charms corridor. (Is that possible, you may ask? Well, it is now! Carry on!) Draco entered the room and Marie shut the door behind them.
"So, why'd you transfer?"
"Well, all of the trouble started two years ago..."
Flashback:
"So, what are we going to do? This place is a person's worst nightmare." Lisa looked at Marie and tried to smile.
"We'll be out of here soon, I promise. It's gonna be awhile, though. At least we're all safe." Lisa looked around at her brothers and sisters and smiled. Mark and Chris just sat at a table, not looking at anything in particular; just staring off into space. Kali and Sarah sat on the floor in a corner, too terrified to even smile at their sister. Tina and Krista stood next to Lisa, hoping for some kind of answer. Erin and Karen were standing at the windows, watching to make sure that nothing from outside was going to attack them.
"We're under siege, Lisa. How are we going to get out of here? We won't survive if we stay here much longer, and we can't survive if we go outside," said Krista.
"Um, Lisa?"
"Yes, Erin?"
"What are those?" she asked, pointing out the window toward the ground. Lisa walked over to the window and looked out.
"Oh no. that can't be good."
"What is it?" asked Chris, who'd stood up and walked over to the window.
"Well, those I'm sure are vampires," she said, pointing, "And those? Those are werewolves. I'm sure of it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Now we really can't get out." Everybody moved away from the window as one of the werewolves let out a howl.
Present Day:
"Wow. You were in that siege? That was one of the magic schools in Romania, wasn't it?" Marie nodded. "Wow. How come it was only the six of you who came to Hogwarts? You mentioned that you had two brothers and two more sisters."
"Well, that was six months after the siege started. I didn't lose my brothers until a year after the siege started. We were still in that tower..."
Flashback:
"Mark, you can't be serious. You do realize that going outside of this tower is suicide, right?"
"Yeah, but I can't just sit here and let you starve now, can I? I'm the oldest, and therefore I have to take care of the rest of you." Lisa stood up and walked over to the door. She stood in front of it and pointed her wand at Mark.
"Nobody leaves until we find a safe way to leave, got it? None of those creatures know that we're in here, so let's keep it that way, okay?"
"Oh, get out of the way, Lisa! I'm not staying here and that's final! Wingardium Leviosa!" Mark pointed his wand at Lisa, who was then lifted up off the ground. Lisa screamed, Chris rushed forward and tackled Mark, and Krista tried to get to Lisa before she dropped to the ground.
"Mark, you crazy bastard! Snap out of it!" Mark continued to fight against Chris and finally won. He bolted to the door, shouted, "Alohomora!" and opened the door. As soon as he had opened the door, he was set upon by a vampire and two werewolves. Mark was gone faster than anything. Lisa and the other girls had by now fainted, all except Marie. Chris quickly shut the door and locked it with every spell he knew. He turned around to face Marie, who still hadn't moved. Chris walked over to her and caught her just as she collapsed.
"Why, Chris? Why did he do it?" she asked through her tears.
"I don't know. I don't know." Then the glass on the windows broke and tons of people poured in: Death Eaters, vampires, werewolves, etc. Marie screamed and then fainted.
Present Day:
"When I came to, my brother, Chris, was gone, along with Kali and Sarah. I don't know what happened to them. Neither did any of my sisters, or if they did, they wouldn't tell us. After that, Karen stopped talking altogether."
"Wow. How horrible that must've been. Do you think they're still alive?"
"No, I don't. I hope they aren't."
"Why?"
"Because if they are alive, they're probably some kind of creature, and I couldn't bear that." As an after thought, she added, "Professor Lupin's a werewolf, isn't he?" Draco looked up at Marie. She had tears rolling down her face.
"Yes, he is. Does that bother you?"
"No. He's actually a good person, so him I like. It's just the ones who are evil in both forms that I don't like. Please don't tell him. I don't want him to think that I have something against all werewolves, 'cause I don't; just the ones that attacked my family." Marie placed her head in her hands and started sobbing hysterically. Draco watched her for a minute before going over to her and pulling her into his arms.
"It's okay, Marie. I...I didn't mean to upset you. I guess curiosity does kill the cat, only in this case, it killed you instead of me." Marie giggled through her tears. "Well, that worked. I got you to laugh, kinda."
"Yeah, I guess you did. Thank you for listening to me. We'd probably better get back to our Common Rooms, 'cause I don't think we're supposed to be out this late." Draco glanced at his watch and sighed.
"We'll need to continue this discussion later because class is going to start, or at least for me it is."
"Okay. Thank you again for listening to me, Draco."
"No problem." As he left the room, Draco noticed that someone was running down the hall with a notebook in his hand. 'I wonder who he was. Whoever he was, he was sure in a hurry.' Draco just ignored it and brushed him off as someone who was trying to get to his class before the rest, although he looked a little young to be out for a class this late.
Hmm, who could it be? Your guess is as good as mine, because I don't know yet, either. I have not been progressing on this story like my others, so I only have the first two chapters written and completed, and the third chapter is almost done. Anyway, please share your thoughts with me, as I am anxious to know your thoughts. And if you are wondering about how the girls could possibly exist, you will have to wait until the next chapter to find out because I'm not telling. My editor knows some of the details, but not all of them because I have not completed the next chapter. Anyway, please read and review, and I will see you next time!
