Ok my second story! And don't worry; Change Of Life will be updated soon. Just as soon as I get my creative butt working on chap 7 and I will soon. Hopefully
But ok enjoy the new story and do not think on the title b/c it will be eventually explained. I hope.
Ok we all know how the disclaimer works, so yah I don't own HP blah blah but I own Lady Rache, and her family and I don't own any name from the Sevenwaters Trilogy (Which is an awesome book series. I suggest u read them)
Ok people
This is normal speech
This is a vision
This is a thought
This is raven speech
As for the songs on last chapter:
They were:
Theory Of A Deadman- Since You Been Gone
10 Years- Wasteland
Ok this chapter, you lucky readers get to see what it is like for Anne during a vision, one that she falls into
Chapter 6: Days Go By…
It was early Saturday morning in October and Anne was up on the Astronomy tower again, her thoughts racing. She had woke up early covered in sweat. This time the vision was of Harry's past. She speed to the top of the tower, hoping someone would come quick.
' The boy stood there as the woman insulted his parents, there was nothing me could do, for if he reacted in any way, he risked more beatings.
" Worthless freaks. I should have left you in an orphanage when I had a chance…I couldn't stand my sister. I was always perfect with Lilly and my parents. All they could do was praise her. But I saw her for what she was a worthless freak. An abomination, something that should have been removed before they had a chance to work their destructive ways…No she had to go and marry that Potter boy. You're the same boy. Your nothing but a freak, I cut your hair and it grows back the next day. You're the same abomination as your parents.." The boy was crying and his aunt hit him and he fell to the ground as his aunt kicked and belittled him…'
Anne was hyperventilating again and still no one came, no one to help stop the pain that was coursing through her, no one to help change the angry song that burst from her.
" To my mother, to my father,
It's your son or it's your daughter,
Are my screams loud enough for you to hear me?
Should I turn this up for you?
I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence gets us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere way too fast!
The silence is what kills me
I need someone here to help me
But you don't know how to listen
And let me make my decisions
I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
The silence gets us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere way too fast!
All your insults and your curses make
Me feel like I'm not a person
And I feel like I am nothing but
You made me so do something
'Cause I'm fucked up because you are
Need attention, attention you couldn't give
I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence gets us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere way too fast
I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence gets us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere way too fast"
Still no one there and again songs bursts from her.
" Silhouettes above the cradle hold me down
they won't let me go the wrong way
my mother taught me all the fables, told me how
in the end all the sinners have to pay
but...
I don't wanna live like my mother
i don't wanna let fear rule my life
and i don't wanna live like my father
i don't wanna give up before i die
he worked so hard his bones are breaking
he wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling
his good intentions leave me shaking, show me how
i don't ever want to end up like he did
and...
I don't wanna live like my mother
i don't wanna let fear rule my life
and i don't wanna live like my father
i don't wanna give up before i die
When i have kids
i won't put any chains on their wrists, i won't
i'll tell them this
there's nothing in this world that you can't be if you want it enough
I don't wanna live like my mother
i don't wanna let fear rule my life
and i don't wanna live like my father
i don't wanna give up before i die
I don't wanna live like my mother
i don't wanna let fear rule my life
and i don't wanna live like my father
i don't wanna give up before i die"
There were arms around her, but she couldn't feel them. She was too far…too far into the vision. It won't let her go. Blood red tears were streaming down her face, as her eyes were pure white.
"I got a candle
And I've got a spoon
I live in a hallway with no doors
And no rooms
Under a windowsill
They all were found
A touch of concrete within the doorway
Without a sound
Someone save me if you will
And take away all these pills
And please just save me if you can
From my blasphemy in my wasteland
How did I get here
And what went wrong
Couldn't handle forgiveness
Now I'm far beyond gone
I can hardly remember
The look of my own eyes
How can I love this a life so dishonest
It made me compromise
Someone save me if you will
And take away all these pills
And please just save me if you can
From my blasphemy in my wasteland
Jump in the water
Jump in with me
Jump on the altar
Lay down with me
The hardest question to answer
Is why
Why
Someone save me if you will
And take away all these pills
And please just save me if you can
From my blasphemy in my wasteland
Someone save me
Someone save me
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
Please don't erase me"
" ANNE! ANNE! Please, answer me. It's me, Severus. You need to get out this. You never told me how to help. ANNE!" Her father's voice sounded so far away.
In the fog, Anne's head slowly rose at her father's voice, but no matter how she far she went forward she never seemed to be any closer.
" Please, please forgive me,
but I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
you won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me,
but I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out,
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
you won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something..?
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
you won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?"
There were arms around her that she recognized. Arms that had not held her in many years and arms that she had yearned for.
" My sweet one. Why are you still in there? You are the leader of a powerful clan, your stronger that. I know you are. Come back. There is a man here who is desperately worried for you." The voice said, gently rubbing her back as he held her close.
She cried out through the fog to him and begged for the vision to pass.
" I must return. He is here. My brother has come for me." Anne struggled through the fog, and soon it was lifting and through it…yes there the door.
She lurched up yelling " Drak!" Again the arms encircled her. Held her tight as she sobbed and wept, apologizing for being so weak.
" Hush, your fine. It's all right. We all cannot be strong at all times." Drak whispered into her hair.
Severus stood there, mesmerized, for the man had appeared out of nowhere and now he held his daughter.
Anne soon realized that he stood there.
" Father, thank you…thank you for trying. I heard you, I was just so deep that I couldn't reach you." Anne had stood up and now stood before her father, tears no longer falling. He quickly pulled her into a hug and ran a calming hand down her back.
" It's alright. I'm here now you'll be fine. Now, who's this man?" Severus whispered into her hair.
Anne turned to face Drak.
" His name is Drak and he has been my best friend for as far back as my mind can recall. He has protected me ever since I could walk and wander away from camp. He is one of my many brothers." Anne was laughing now, the tears long forgotten, as she recalled memories from long days past. Then a worried look over took her
" Wait, Drak if you're here, then that means you heard me all the way back home and then that means… oh no, oh no please tell that they aren't all coming?" She had his hands in hers and she had gone pale with the thought.
" I don't know love. If they did, they didn't tell me. I left as soon as I heard your call." Drak's voice washed over Anne.
There was a noise below them and they ran to the roof edge. Coming through the gate were 4 clocked figures and before Drak or Severus could stop her, Anne was racing down the steps and reached the hallway just as the doors of Hogwarts burst open and the figures walked in and stopped short of Anne, who now stood straight and you could barely tell that she had been crying, but one of the masked figures sensed it and moved forward as he lowered his hood.
" Little one, why have you been crying? Why did we hear you screaming all the way back home? Surely the visions were not that bad?" Finbar whispered, pulling Anne into a fierce hug.
Anne said not a word, but continued staring at the other three. One she knew instantly as Jamie, for only he had the nerve enough to kick in the door of a great castle. But the other two, she couldn't place.
" I will explain later, brother. But who are those two other people? I cannot place them with names." Anne asked, pulling back from the hug, only to be pulled back into one by Jamie, who Anne latched onto.
" Dear sister, surely it hasn't been that long that you could not name me?" The tall figure said, walking forward, lowering the hood.
" Maggie? It can't be. You left England, so many moons ago. Then that must be…. must be Conor ((A/N: Another name from The lovely Sevenwaters Trilogy I like those books too much.)). Oh Conor, I've missed you." Anne lunged forward and had her sister in a tight embrace and then moved towards the other one, who at last lowered his hood. A blue-eyed, red-haired man stood there, staring down at Anne.
" Hello, love. How are you? I've missed you as well." Conor pulled her into a hug and quickly kissed her cheek. Anne had only eyes for him, oblivious of the world around her.
Severus was there, standing by Drak, as Drak talked to Finbar. Drak turned to Severus and looked to where he was looking at Anne wrapped in Conor's arms.
" Their betrothed Severus. They are to marry her 18th year. Been friends since they were children and she will have no other now, nor he." He whispered into Severus's ear.
" How old is he?"
" He is fourteen. Been her closest friend since she was old enough to wander, with me guarding them both silently from the background. You need not fear for her, for no matter what, she will be protected." Drak answered, looking up at Maggie who was now standing in front of Severus.
" I have a message for you from my mother. Keep her away from Dumbledore. Under no circumstances is she to be left alone with that man." Maggie spoke with such strength that Severus could only nod before the woman turned away.
As if on cue, Dumbledore was there, heading down the stairway, a look of worry entering those twinkling eyes.
" What is this? Who are you people? What are you doing in my school, what business could you have?" He stopped in front of Jamie, who had moved in front of Anne and would not let the man pass.
" We came to visit our little sister for a while. Albus, my name is Finbar Rache and I must speak with you in private, along with my sister Maggie and my brothers Conor, Jamie and Drak." Finbar said, stepping up next to the headmaster. It looked like they made to move without Anne, who looked heartbroken, but was she ushered alongside Conor, whose arm was wrapped around her waist and she as leaning against him.
After a long discussion with the headmaster, Finbar had convinced him that the others will stay for a week before departing, for so near All Hallow's Eve, it was dangerous to leave the young seer without Harry and Severus being properly informed on how to help Anne when she had another vision like she did that morning.
Now they were walking the grounds, Anne and Conor and it didn't seem like they would ever part. She was so happy to have him back that she couldn't help but sing as she walked with him along the lake, him on the edge, she in the shallowest part, water just up to her ankle.
"I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me, anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
and I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
and I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
and I don't feel right when you're gone away
you've gone away
you don't feel me here anymore"
Conor sat there on a rock and watched Anne play and sing and realization hit him, 'She's only a child. Yet she leads the clan and doesn't even show the weariness she has that the vision steals form her. She shouldn't have to be so strong at such an age.'
" Conor? Love, are you all right? You look like you've seen a ghost." Anne's voice broke his thoughts to see her standing over her. The moon crown was gleaming in the sunlight, adding the look of an angel to the already beautiful face.
" I'm sorry, what did you say?" He said, standing up and pulling her into a hug.
" I said that I suddenly realized that we must warm everyone at Hogwarts to avoid Jamie next week." Anne said, gazing up at him
" Why? What did he do now?"
" It's what he's going to do. Next week holds Halloween and he won't be leaving until 3 days after Halloween." Anne was laughing again, Conor grinning and chuckling along with her.
" Poor Hogwarts, and they thought Fred and George Weasley were bad. I just had to go and brag to Jamie about all the pranks they pulled. Now he is determined to out do them. Oh Conor, Save me. I created a bigger monster." Anne hid her head into his chest
All she did now was hum or when able sing, in the hallways, for when she was away from Conor; her emotions were spilling out, for she could not stop thinking about him. Wandering the hallways, she captivated everyone that she passed.
"Is this a dream?
If it is
Please don't wake me from this high
I've become comfortably numb
Until you opened up my eyes
To what it's like
When everything's right
I can't believe
You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me
So, here we are
That's pretty far
When you think of where we've been
No going back
I'm fading out
All that has faded me within
You're by my side
Now everything's fine
I can't believe
You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me
And I was hiding
'Til you came along
And showed me where I belong
You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know?
How did you know?
You found me
when no one else was lookin'
how did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
the ups and the downs
and you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
(You found me)
(When no one else was lookin')
You found me
(How did you know just where I would be?)
You broke through
All of my confusion
the ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
the good and the bad
and the things in between
You found me
You found me"
Always there was a guard and for Anne, she wanted it, for they kept her away from Jamie's booby-trapped hallways and Anne would tell everyone that needed to know to do the same.
" Jamie! It's not even the eve of Halloween yet and already you broke out the sheep?" Maggie yelled as she wandered through a hallway filled with bubblegum pink sheep that would not move and would only move if Jamie told them to.
" Gotta out do those twins. Blame Anne, she told me about them." Jamie's voice would call out of the purple mist that hung around every ceiling around the castle.
Maggie rounded on Her, but Anne had already fled to a different floor, Conor behind her, both of them laughing as she reached her charms class. She kissed his cheek and went into the classroom and sat down by Ginny, still beet red from running and laughing.
" Oh Gin, this is one Halloween week you will never forget." Anne said, calming down as the other students came in discussing the sheep.
