A/N; Sorry about a certain paragraph, since while working on it, it reminded me of a similar event that supose to happen in ancient Greece, so I decided to do a Wizard's version of it.
Also this chapter was supose to be longer, but I needed more time to finish the rest, so I cut it in half to post this part now.
Finally, I don't own Harry Potter or its characters, and please review.
It's been two weeks into August, and Clarisa had fully recovered from Ron's attack, but unfortunately she was ordered to stay in bed for another week by Molly and Pomfrey, since they believe that Clarisa needed more time to heal, and since their word is law, Clarisa had no choice but to listen.
Halfway through the third week, Clarisa was bored, since she only been allowed to have visitors for a couple hours at a time, and to make things worse, Kitsune sometimes disappear during the hours she had no visitors, causing Clarisa to wonder what the little fox was up to.
By Friday on the third week, Clarisa was finally allowed to leave her room, and since Kitsune was again nowhere to be seen, Clarisa decided to find her.
As Clarisa search, she found many of the Order members in the dinning room, Hermione reading in the library, and lastly heard a playful bark from the main living room, causing Clarisa to wonder who Kitsune was playing with.
As Clarisa entered the living room, she was surprised to see Ginny playing with fox-Kitsune, since Ginny never seem interested in the little fox." Kitsune there you are, I been looking all over for you!" Clarisa lightly scolded, causing Kitsune to miss a small ball Ginny just threw her way." Clarisa, sorry, Kitsune just came to me, and wanted to play." Ginny quickly explain, as she stuttered out the words." Ginny it's alright, I was just worried about Kitsune, and you don't need to apologize." Clarisa gently said, as she noticed that Ginny may have the fear of Shadow Mages like Ron, but Ginny seem less then willing to do anything to her." Come on, lets play with Kitsune together." Clarisa suggested, and both girls, bounce the small ball to each other, while Kitsune had fun chasing the ball about.
After a while, Ginny seem to accept Clarisa, and after playing for almost half an hour, Clarisa declare that she was tired." Alright Kitsune, enough I want to rest!" Clarisa firmly said, since Kitsune seem to have more energy then both girls combine, since she started jumping up, as to say that she wanted to play more." Kitsune, I too am tired, so lets rest for an hour!" Ginny demanded, and Kitsune looked sadly to her, before jumping on her lap to rest.
As the girls rested, Clarisa looked to Ginny, whom was petting Kitsune fur." You know you are lucky, since Kitsune only goes to those who are trustworthy." Clarisa informed Ginny, whom looked to her." I had notice that during school, you know Ron was bad mouthing Kitsune, by saying she was a mean animal, and would've bitten my hand off if I got too closely." Ginny worriedly said to Clarisa." Ginny, you got to know that Ron is wrong about that and many other things." Clarisa said, and Ginny nodded." I know, since you seem too nice to be a Shadow Mage from the stories I heard, but I guess I been afraid to talk to you because Ron had been adding more bad things to what I already heard." Ginny confessed." You know, Ron should've known that he was wrong, since I did befriend your parents, Sirius, and others, whom would've known if I was Dark or not." Clarisa informed Ginny, but before Ginny could speak, the door to the room quickly opened.
Both teens stood up as a red haired young man entered." Clarisa, your Rune, we found a way to power it up to the power it need to activate!" Bill quickly informed the teen." That is great news; I will be there in a moment." Clarisa happily said, as she turned to the little fox." Kitsune, stay with Ginny, since I'm sure she can take care of you for the next hour or two." Clarisa informed the fox, as it gave a happy bark." Don't worry, I'll make sure Kitsune is fed and watered." Ginny assured Clarisa, as she nodded and left the room with Bill.
In the library, Clarisa was stunned as she examined the Rune Bill and Jacob just found." This is so easy, why didn't I think of this combination of spells?" Clarisa said, as she examined the Rune's makeup of spells." Maybe since many of the spells should not go together or at least what we thought shouldn't." Jacob informed the teen." Enough of what we thought." Bill started, as he looked to Clarisa." Clarisa when will you be able to combine both Runes." Bill asked, since he was hoping for a demonstration of Clarisa's Rune." Maybe in a couple hours, I should be able to try the Rune out." Clarisa quickly said, as she went to her books to find a way to make both Runes work together, while the other two left the room since they knew Clarisa works better without any distractions.
An hour later, Clarisa cast a spell that would show her if the Rune she was working on will work or not, and when the Rune glowed blue, Clarisa excitedly jump up." E..." Clarisa started, but was gone in a pop.
In the dinning room, all the Order members were talking when they all heard a pop and a yell." EUREKA I DID IT!" Clarisa yelled, as she dance about, causing everyone eyes to bulge." CLARISA WHITEWATER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Molly yelled, stopping Clarisa dead in her tracks, and now notice her surrounding." Wait a minute what am I doing here?" Clarisa asked, as she now notice the weird looks everyone was giving her." Miss. Whitewater, I believe you had accidentally Apparated here." Dumbledore informed the teen, as he blush a deep shade of red, and at the same time he waved his wand causing everyone to turn around, to look away from Clarisa." Whitewater don't just stand there, go to your room and get yourself redress now!" Molly firmly said, as Clarisa now noticed that she not only had accidentally Apparated, she also left some things behind, and quickly was gone in puff of smoke.
Once back in the library, Clarisa was still embarrassed at what had happen." Great, had to be in a room full of people." Clarisa said, as she picked up the clothes that was on the ground, and banished them back to her room.
Sometime later, Bill and Jacob arrived with their eyes behind their hands." Clarisa, I hope you are decent?" Bill joked, as Clarisa turn on them." Don't tell me you both were there?" Clarisa asked, as she blushed brightly." Not only we were there, we got front row seats to your little show." Jacob joked, and then smiled evilly." And thanks for the memory, since now I have two people to joke about." Jacob smiled to Clarisa, whom just rolled her eyes." Keep this up, and I won't show you my Rune!" Clarisa informed two horror struck wizards." Hmm, maybe seeing you back there in the dinning room, is better then seeing your Rune?" Bill said, after a thought." You are right, and I think Fred and George may have pictures of Clarisa, so lets see them for some copies." Jacob suggested, causing Clarisa to blush more brightly." You wouldn't dare, and if they did, I will have to hex them to oblivion!" Clarisa said in a dangerous tone, and quickly left the library, while the other two realized Clarisa meant what she had said.
Back in the dinning room Fred and George was started taking orders for pictures, when a not so happy Clarisa entered." Accio camera and my pictures!" Clarisa yelled as she waved her wand at the twins, causing one camera, and hundreds of pictures to fly to her feet." Incendio!" Clarisa yelled, causing both pictures and camera to go up in black flames, while at the same time glaring at two twins, whom was shaking in fear." Fred and George Weasley, you will wish you had never been born once I am done with you both." Clarisa evilly said, making everyone flinched as Clarisa waved her wand encasing both Weasley in transparent shadows that trapped them in place.
Once Clarisa saw that Fred and George were not going anywhere, she turned to Bill and Jacob whom just entered the room, but had frozen at seeing what Clarisa had done." Glad to see you made it for your punishment!" Clarisa dangerously said, as she waved her wand causing both wizards to disappear, and reappeared trapped in shadows next to the Weasley twins." Hmm, what can I do to four wizards who does not show me some respect?" Clarisa asked the four trapped wizards, as they looked very worried." Please Clarisa, we didn't mean any harm!" Both twins said, as they pleaded to Clarisa." Any harm, you were handing out pictures of me in my underwear, maybe I should..." Clarisa started, but stopped, as she grinned at a thought." Yes that will work, and I'm sure you WILL regret doing what you just did once I complete this curse!" Clarisa informed the trapped wizards, as she waved her wand, to conjure a number of Runes which Bill and Jacob quickly recognized, but before they could yell, Clarisa sent the Runes to the trap wizards, causing the shadows to become pitch dark.
For a few minutes, Clarisa mumbled a few spells, while at the same time doing a number of complicated waves of her wand, until she quickly slash downwards, causing the shadows to disappear, leaving four confused wizards, whom noticed nothing had happened to them.
Once Clarisa was done, she started leaving the room, but was immediately stopped." What did you do to us?" Both Fred and George shakily asked, as they looked worriedly to Clarisa." Oh nothing much, I just did a very complicated curse, which activates and deactivates with one of two passwords." Clarisa inform four horror struck wizards." Please Clarisa; please tell us you didn't do what I think you did?" Jacob pleaded, but Clarisa grinned." Then I won't, GIRLS!" Clarisa said, and the second she said girls, Fred, George, and Bill turned into an older version of Ginny, and Jacob turned into a stunning Brunette." Oh Mrs. Weasley, only you and anyone of their closest friends or relatives can activate or deactivate the curse." Claris started, as the family smiled at the thought of getting even with the twins." One last thing, they will have no power over it, so the cursed will stay active until someone deactivate it, and please see me for the deactivation word Clarisa smiled to Molly, and then left the room, satisfied that she got her revenge. Outside the mansion several hours later in a large lush gardens of Clarisa's estate, Clarisa, Jacob, Bill" whom both was back to normal, to Clarisa disappointment", and Dumbledore was looking over an old and dying tree, that probably grew for hundreds of year." This is it, we will now know if our work for the last few months paid off." Clarisa informed everyone, as she stood in front of the tree, and got ready to try her Rune." Clarisa be careful, we still don't know your Rune will work, and plus the new Rune we found had not been tested yet." Bill reminded Clarisa, and she nodded." Not to worry, I will get it on my first try!" Clarisa firmly said, as she gesture everyone to move back, and with a heavy sigh, she closed her eyes, and got ready.
As Clarisa stood, shadows started whirling around her, as she lifted her right that shown a glowing Rune placed on the back of her hand, and while this was happening, everyone was quickly backing away, since the power Clarisa was emitting was almost more then they could handle.
As the group watch in awe, the rest of Shadow Mansion inhabitant's started coming out to watch a dazzling display of Shadow magic." This is incredible, I never knew Clarisa had this much power in her!" Molly said, as she looked on in disbelief." It's the Rune we just found, it increasing Clarisa's powers to unheard of levels." Bill informed his mother, as Dumbledore spoke up." Bill can this Rune help others increase their powers." Dumbledore hopefully asked." We are not sure, since the Rune was design for Shadow Mages, at least which was writing on the scrolls we found." Jacob informed Dumbledore, but they quickly stopped talking, as Clarisa hand came down.
As everyone watch, Clarisa was so focus in chanting the spell, she was unaware of what was happening around her, until she opened her eyes, and now concentrated on her own Rune which suddenly appeared floating in front of her." This is it, it's now or never!" Clarisa thought, and with a wave of her hand, the Rune glowed with an eerie darkness for a few seconds, but it quickly changed into a dazzling array of rainbow colors, to Clarisa and everyone surprise." Something wrong, since this Rune should be pitched black?" Clarisa thought, but knew it was too late to do anything, and with a wave of her hand, the Rune flew to the tree, and encase it in a brilliant rainbow shield, that cause everyone to shield their eyes.
For a full minute Clarisa stood still focusing on her magic, and with a slash downwards of her hand, the rainbow shield was gone along with the tree.
After the shield was gone, Clarisa fell to her knees as everyone ran up to her." Clarisa, are you alright." Dumbledore quickly asked, and Clarisa nodded." I'm fine, I just shocked that my magic suddenly turn different, but Bill, Jacob, please check the tree!" Clarisa quickly said, but Bill and Jacob only looked to where the tree was standing." I can't see anything, I'm afraid it's gone." Bill informed Clarisa, but Jacob interrupted." My word, it's not gone, the tree still there, so come on lets get a closer look." Jacob quickly said, as he and Bill ran to the spot were the tree stood.
As Bill and Jacob got to the spot where the tree stood, they were amaze that there was now a seedling." I don't believe it; Clarisa actually did it, her Rune worked." Jacob quickly said, after doing a full scan of the seedling." You are right, and if my calculations are right, Clarisa just turned a two-hundred-fifty year old tree, into a seedling, which I doubt any wizard couldn't accomplish without using potions, or other means." Bill informed his mentor." I know, but lets get back to tell Clarisa the news." Jacob suggested, and the wizards headed back.
Once Bill and Jacob were back, Clarisa was again standing." Clarisa I'm afraid that you miss your mark by a hundred years, but other then that the Rune did what we had hoped it would." Jacob proudly informed relieves Clarisa." Then we still need work to do, to calculate how much power the Rune will need, and how long that shield should be up for my Time Reversal Rune to be fully controllable." Clarisa suggested, and the two wizards nodded in agreement.
Once Bill and Jacob had their say, Dumbledore spoke up." Clarisa, what exactly is a Time Reversal Rune?" Dumbledore asked, since Clarisa had keep what they were doing secrete until now." It's exactly what the name stands for, since it's a Rune that reverse time in a contained area within that shield, and anything in it will be de-aging to what ever time I set the Rune too." Clarisa informed a shocked Headmaster." You plan to de-age Riddle to a point that he is not as powerful as he is now!" Dumbledore could only ask, as he stared at Clarisa in awe." That is the plan, but since we still need to work more on the Rune, we still have a lot more to do before I'm certain I can use the Rune against Riddle!" Clarisa firmly said, as Dumbledore hopefully nodded before they all returned to the mansion.
