Gwydion's Conservatory of Magical Arts
Chapter Nine: Of Revelations
"It has been reported to me from some of our Greek chapter that the magical signature of Mr. Harry Potter has been found..."
The reaction was instantaneous. Order members that didn't know Harry as well
broke started talking rapidity to each other. Molly Weasley burst into tears of joy,
while her husband sighed in relief. Dumbledore, being Dumbledore, didn't look
surprised but the twinkle that had been missing from his eyes for the last week
returned. And Sirius, well, Sirius was just plain shocked. Whatever he had been
expecting his friend to say that had not been it. After a couple of minutes of
complete confusion and pandemonium, Sirius finally came out of his trance and
pounced on his friend.
"WHERE?!?! Where in Greece is he? Why isn't he back here if he's been spotted in Greece? I'll go get him right now, and when I get my hands on that..."
"EVERYONE QUIET DOWN!" Dumbledore yelled. Everyone in the room
obeyed, and looked at the old wizard.
"Now Remus, I want you to lead a search team to Greece to find Mr. Potter. With
you will be young Nymphadora, Alastor, and Arthur." Looking sharply at Sirius, who
looked as though he was about to explode, Dumbledore said, "Mr. Black, I need you
to finish the job you started this summer. Harry should be joining us soon enough."
"But..."
"No buts, I expect to see you at 7 o'clock sharp tomorrow Mr. Black, meeting
adjourned."
Harry froze. /How...how did you...?/
"Oh I have my ways," Liberty responded mysteriously. "Oh and by the way Elrap!"
Harry felt a tingling sensation in his throat.
"But the curse...I can speak!"
Liberty smirked. "I know. Why don't you let me buy you a drink," she purred at
Harry. The-Boy-Who-Lived found himself unable to disobey. His friends from the
other side of the room were glaring at him, but all he could do was stare at this rare
beauty of a girl, no, woman. His heart fluttered as she grabbed his hand and led him
over to a table.
She smiled at him as they sat down.
"So Mr. Potter, how did a celebrity such as yourself find your way to the dreary town of Lomacet?"
"Erm, well, er, I er, go to school here." Harry rush to say, barely able to get the
words out of his mouth. This girl was so amazing!
"Oh really," she continued to purr at him. Her voice was so soft and gentle the
words flowed like music. "Last I heard you were at Hogwarts, a Gryffindor 5th year if
I remember correctly from what my fiancé has told me."
The word fiancé caught Harry's attention. "Fiancé?"
"Oh yes, I'm sure you've heard of him. Draco Lucius Urien Dionysos Malfoy the 3rd.
I've missed him so since he went to Hogwarts. I was meant to go there with him, but
my parents simply wouldn't have it." She sighed.
Still dazed Harry asked, "Why is that?"
She laughed, not a real that was funny laugh, more of a cruel one as if Harry was
being silly. But of course to the raven-haired boy it sounded golden.
"There were just too many commoners. My mother couldn't bear the thought of
sending me to any magical school actually, with all the mudbloods around these days.
Even Durmstrang has a few amongst its numbers. No, my parents have hired the
most excellent private teachers around."
"Well that's good..."
Liberty leaned forward to whisper something in Harry's ear.
"You could meet my parents if you want," she said rather seductively. "Would you
like that Mr. Potter?" She asked bringing her lips close to his. Harry could barely
breath. He couldn't speak, so he just nodded.
"Excellent," she said, once more grabbing hold of his hand.
Harry would have followed her anywhere at this point. And he just about did, if
hadn't been for a very loud sharp yell in his head.
HARRY JAMES POTTER! Just where do you think you're going?Ondra yelled at him.
The haze that had surrounded The-Boy-Who-Lived lifted. Horrified about what he
had just about done Harry pulled away from Liberty. Before she could entrance him
again his classmates encircled Harry and started to hurry out of the pub. Looking
back at the beautiful female, she smiled at him and he saw her mouth, 'I'll owl you.'
His heart fluttering again, Harry could hardly wait.
Remus had returned from his mission in Greece, it had been a short, but rather
informative trip. Dumbledore had owled the werewolf when he was still in Greece,
to make sure that he went directly to Dumbledore when he got back, no matter how
late. And under no circumstances was he to tell Sirius of his findings. So around 1
thirty in the morning Remus swept onto the Hogwarts grounds and into the castle.
Rushing up to the headmasters office he whispered, "Twinkies," as head up the
moving staircase. The door to the office was already open and sitting at his desk was
Dumbledore, looking as though he expected the werewolf's late arrival.
"So?" He asked eyes twinkling.
"We found him."
The cloudy dark sky of the Great Hall that morning perfectly portrayed the moods of
a certain red head and his girl friend. It was two weeks into the term and there was
still no sign of their best friend, Harry Potter. For all they knew he was out
somewhere in that rain, starving, with no place to go. And it was all their faults. Both
Ron and Hermione felt incredibly guilty about the disappearance of Harry. If only
they had paid more attention to him when he came to visit! Instead they were too
absorbed in themselves to even talk to their best friend, and it might have been the
last time they saw their best friend. Their last chance to talk to him. And they blew
it. Ginny Weasley had made sure to point this out to her brother and his girlfriend in
a rage of fury right after Harry left. The Order of the Phoenix would disclose no
information on whether or not they knew where Harry was, but they had had several
top secret meetings in the couple weeks that Ron and Hermione had spent at the
headquarters.
Nothing was the same this year. Even though it was two weeks into term they still
didn't have a DADA teacher, and without Harry around there was no trouble to get
into or mysteries to solve. This particular morning was especially bad because it was
the four week anniversary of their friend being gone and they had a test in Double
Potions with the Slytherins first thing.
However, about half way through breakfast, Dumbledore at the head table cleared
his throat loudly. The populace of Hogwarts stopped talking to look up at their
headmaster.
"I have a small announcement to make to you all that I know you have all looked
forward to hearing." He started, making everyone's ears perk up. "Defense Against
the Dark Arts classes are to be resumed today!"
If Dumbledore had expected a round of applause, he was sourly disappointed. There
were groans from three of the four house tables. (What would you expect of
Ravenclaws? They had been horrified at the prospect of no DADA classes in the
first place.) However, Dumbledore just chuckled at the reaction of his students.
"Yes, our new DADA teacher has finally been able to make time in his ever so busy
schedule to join us here at Hogwarts. Now would all join me in welcoming Professor
Sirius Black!"
Harry Potter-Missing!
An Exclusive Report by Jason Gooditch
Today it was reported that the Boy-Who-Lived disappeared from his newly found home with
his godfather on the morning of August 28th. No one has heard from him since. It is un known
where he is- but this reporter thinks that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named may have something to do
with this sudden disappearance. Sirius Black is offering a thousand galleon reward for any
information on the whereabouts of his godson. However, he would give no further comments. See
section A3 for more speculations of where Harry Potter may be.
AN- Sorry for the short chapter, but I was threatened with death if I didn't update soon! So to answer a few questions:
Is Liberty Harry's love interest? Erm....kind of, in a twisted sort of way, but you'll have to read on to find out more about it!
Will Sirius find Harry before Harry has to leave? No one can stay hidden forever! ;)
Is Liberty a Mary-Sue? No, absolutely not I thought I would clear this up BEFORE I
got flamed on it. Liberty is not, I repeat, is NOT perfect in anyway, shape or form,
actually she's downright evil when it comes to it, but more on that later...
Thank you to everyone who reviewed!POLL: Please answer this question in a review or email me.
Would you prefer for me to update MORE OFTEN with SHORTER chapters or LESS OFTEN with LONGER chapters? Had a slight argument with a friend about this. Thank you for reading and don't forget to:
