A/N: Well here's you another chappie. You want to know what the sad thing is? I posted a one shot Inuyasha fic the other day and got half as many review as I have for this now 12 chapter story. Come on guys! You're letting the Inu fans beat you! Why is it that there are tons of HP fans but they never review? Don't know.
Now on with the story!
RECAP:
"Would you rather stay here?" she asked. They shook their head no and Harry timidly approached the portal. He took a deep breath and stepped through followed by Hermione, Ron then Sillenna. The portal opened up into the Great Hall.
The Space Princess (His destiny)
It was suppertime and the room was full. The students looked up in shock at the swirling vortex that appeared out of no where. From the vortex walked a stunned looking Harry, Hermione, and Ron, and a ticked looking Sillenna. There were several gasps and the room began to buzz with whispers. The few teachers that were actually at the teachers' table came running down to the four students and rushed them off to the Hospital Wing. The four students didn't hear any of the questions that were asked as they were ushered through the halls. When they got to the Hospital Wing, the nurse wanted to check them all out to make sure they were ok. Harry, Ron, and Hermione only had minor cuts and bruises while Sillenna refused to be checked. Dumbledore and several other teachers rushed into the room and seemed shocked to find four intact students.
"Well I must say I am pleasantly surprised to find you all in one piece," Dumbledore said looking from one to the other. "Now if you all check out ok, I think we should go to my office and discuss today's events." They walked quietly to Dumbledore's office and took seats without having to be asked.
"Now let me start with what we have pieced together," Dumbledore said when everyone had sat down. "The four of you planned to meet in the library to study, but some student, whom we have yet to identify, redirected you, Sillenna, to the Room of Requirement." Sillenna nodded. "When you got there you were attacked from behind?" Sillenna nodded, wincing at the growing pain in her back. "Meanwhile your friends began to worry about you and after searching for you for some time were told that someone had sent you to the Room of Requirement." It was the other's turn to nod. "Then Mr. Potter's scar began to bother him and fearing for your safety they rushed off to find you. When they got there they found only your books and a trap, a one way portkey. By the time they realized what it was it was probably to late." The others nodded again. "Now it's your turn to fill in what happened next, and please try to go into as much detail as possible." Sillenna was silent so Hermione decided to tell their story. When they had accidentally activated the portkey, they had been sent to a room full of Death Eaters who quickly disarmed them and led them to Sillenna's cell as instructed. "That's when…." Hermione trailed off looking at Sillenna who had stared at the opposite wall the whole time. After a few moments of silence, Sillenna sighed and shifted her gaze to the group.
"I guess it's my turn," she said. She told her story; how she had been knocked out, how she had awoken in a cell, how Voldemort had tried to scare her but had failed miserably. When she got to the part when she attacked Voldemort she simply said, "He threatened my friends and that made me mad so I punched him."
"That was one hell of a punch!" Ron exclaimed. "You sent him flying through a solid stone wall!" The others in the room turned to her in shock. She simply shrugged.
"I don't know what kind of magic that was but it was STRONG." Harry said, looking at Sillenna but addressing the teachers. "And I think that was just a small glimpse of the real power underneath." He added in a whisper.
"Does this have to do with that little secret of yours?" Snape asked.
"Yes," Sillenna said in a tired voice.
"And that portal of sorts you opened?" he asked.
"Yes," she answered again.
"You're really powerful aren't you?" Hermione asked. Sillenna nodded.
"WAIT!" Ron exclaimed. "If that was peas compared to what you can really do then why don't you destroy-"
"No." Sillenna stopped Ron. "I won't do what you ask of me. I have seen the result and it's not pretty." Ron started to argue with her but she held up her hand to stop him. "Let me try and explain. Each and every person has a destiny. It's made up of several different places that person must reach at certain parts of their life. Most people have simple destinies that can't be seen until they have passed away. Sure they may not be destined to save the world but each has a great destiny in it's own way. There are a few, like Harry, who have parts of their destiny that can be clearly seen. An act of courage and strength that takes all a person has and test it." Harry looked away. "Since my people can remember, we have had people with such destinies come to us, begging us to take it from them, to fulfill their destiny. They know we have the power to do it and seek the easy way out. Occasionally one of us, usually a younger, less wise one, will give in and fulfill a destiny that is not their own. At first everything seems good, many are saved, but one is lost. As time passes you can see a slow change in the one who gave away their destiny. Their lives are full of self-doubt, always wondering if they could have done it themselves and never knowing for sure. They became empty shells. The longest one lasted was around five years and they all died at their own hand." There was silence. Sillenna turned to Harry. For the first time since they had gotten back, she looked directly at someone. There were tears in her eyes. They screamed her inner struggle. "I don't want that for you." She whispered. Harry looked into her eyes and through to her very soul and couldn't be mad. She was right. With his eyes he told her he understood. The others were talking. They didn't hear them. They were reaching out for each other with their hearts and minds. They connected. I love you Harry, she whispered. I love you too he whispered back.
A/N: Here's your chance to show me what you HP fans are made of and give me so many review I drown in them! That would make me very happy:)
