Chapter 12: Christmas Pt.1
((A/N: yes I know we totally skipped like a month but it was done for all our sakes.))
They were getting ready to leave, Harry and Anne. They wouldn't be leaving until the morning and they wanted to be ready. Harry would be spending a couple glorious weeks at the village to 'meet the family' ad Harry so affectingly called it. He was looking forward to it, as was Anne. She was eager to see her family again. But she had to say goodbye to her father and give him her gift early.
She walked up to his office and knocked and was greeted by the usual…. well umm…greeting.
She opened the door and stuck her head in.
" You busy?" She asked, noticing that she could barely see over the stack of papers that littered his desk.
" Oh, oh my dad." Anne said, still in the doorway, not sure is she should come in at all.
Severus glared at her, but was smirking.
" Come on, get in here." He said, standing up from his desk and walking over to the door.
Anne walked in and he closed the door behind her.
" What is it Anne?" He asked, moving to one of the couches and sitting down.
" Well, I am leaving tomorrow for break and I wanted to make sure that you got your gift. In fact I wanted to give it to you early." Ann sat across from him, fingering the silver package in her hands. Severus was watching it too.
" Is that it? Well, lets get it over with shall we?"
Anne stood and handed him the gift and sat next to him. As he opened it, she saw impatience invading his eyes as he had difficulty getting the thing open. Anne sniggered, but stopped when Severus glared at her.
" Sorry, forgot I used the 'only-the-intended' paper. It makes sure only the person it is sent to can open it. I forgot to write your name on it. Got a quill?" Anne blushed when she realized her mistake.
Severus got a quill and Anne quickly wrote a sloppy version of her fathers name and gave the gift back to him.
He opened it and at once he was confused.
" A tiny cauldron?" he asked looking up at her?
" It's a very unique cauldron. Yes, it will billow smoke at all times, but if I am hurt, the smoke turns bright yellow, and…. and if the smoke stops, I'm dead. But anyway, back to the yellow smoke. It can tell you where I am and even if the item that helps the cauldron detect me is taken, the smoke will still be yellow until the item is returned to me and will only become white again when it deems me safe. I thought the cauldron would be appropriate because you're a potions teacher and…I thought you may like it, but if you don't…i…" She lost her voice and hung her head.
" Well, I do like it. Will come in quite handy. So what is this said item that helps this wondrous cauldron?" Severus asked, looking the gift over.
Anne held up her hand so the back was facing him. A garnet stone gleamed at him.
" My engagement ring." Anne answered, watching her father examine the gift then the ring.
" It's beautiful. Conor gave it to you?" Severus was now interested.
" It was Liadan's but yah she gave it to Conor to give to me because although it was a arranged marriage, he loved me and wanted to show me. So he asked mother for help and she did. Gave him her own engagement ring." Anne was now admiring the ring, her thoughts on her family.
" I see. Hold on, Anne." Severus got up and walked out of the room.
Anne sat there staring at the cauldron that was now sitting on the table in front of her. Severus came back into the room bearing a small package wrapped in green paper. He sat down and handed her the gift. She eyes him but soon was ripping the paper off to find a small box. She opened it find a necklace with a ebony-auburn teardrop hanging from it. At once tears fell from her eyes.
" Dad…I…. I don't know what to say. It's beautiful. Help me put it on?" Anne turned to him, tears pricking her eyes. He nodded and she turned around. As he was placing the necklace around her neck, a gentle song rose from him and was crying when she heard the song and she opened her mind so Severus could hear what was coming from him.
"In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I want to be
In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes
Everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light
And the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
Gives me strength when I'm weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hangin' on when your heart
Is had enough
It's givin' more when you feel like givin' up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes
I can see the future
A reflection of who I am
And what we'll be
And though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone
I hope you'll see
How happy she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes"
" Daddy…" Anne whispered, not realizing that Severus had heard her and enveloped her in a tight hug.
" Was that me?" he whispered into her ear. She nodded. She sat up and turned to him.
" The necklace is… beyond words, dad and I love it." She hugged him and stood up.
" I gotta go to the feast dad. You coming?" Anne was at the door and was now staring at him.
" Sure. Be right there."
She smiled and Severus found himself smiling right back at her.
Now they were on the train and Harry was bust talking with Hermione about the Chamber Of Secrets and other things. Anne was playing a game of exploding snap with Ginny, while Ron gorged himself on chocolate frogs, nearly growling at Anne as she grabbed a frog.
" Easy, geez Ron, you act like your starved." Anne said, eating the frog while Ron gave her a dirty look.
" ANNE!" Came a familiar voice across the platform.
" JAMIE!" Anne waved and pulled Harry behind her, who was ironically pushing the cart with their luggage on it, so literally she was dragging the cart.
When she was in reach, Jamie pulled her into a hug, squeezing her.
" Jamie..Need..Air.." Anne gasped and breathed in a lung full of air as he released her. That was when she noticed Lady Rache.
" Hi mo...Hi Aunt Meagan." Anne said slowly, letting the words sink in.
" So the adoption came into it's full?" Lady Rache said and Anne nodded.
" Good that means now no one can question your right to Liadan's power."
" Why would they? I mean, it's bad enough that I got muscle mouth here as back up that I am surprised that anyone question Liadan's heir." She bumped Jamie, who put his arm around her shoulder and gave a quick squeeze. Then she noticed a figure behind Meagan and her heartbeat raced.
" Uh oh, she has seen the target. Harry?" Jamie's voice had Harry looking at him. " You might want to back up some. If she takes off, your gonna get hurt." Harry nodded and backed off just as Anne launched at Conor and was in his arms, being held tight as a song wafted from her.
"Beautiful dawn
Lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I'd rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn
I'm just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.
But now I'm high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Beautiful dawn
Melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn
you're just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me.
Will you be my shoulder when I'm gray and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me
High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it's hard to believe you remember me"
They were blissfully unaware of their surroundings, and no one seemed inclined to stop them.
Harry was watching them when Meagan walked up to him.
" So you're Harry. Well, it's very nice meet you, young man."
" It's nice to meet you as well…ummm.."
" Meagan."
She looked at where he was staring and at once noticed the protective gaze he had.
" You're worried about her. You think that she's to young to bear that ring on her hand, but Harry let me tell you, she went into this willingly. She could have objected to Liadan and she would have gotten her way, being Liadan's magic daughter, but she didn't. She loves Conor, ever since she met him; she was never away from him too long. They're destined for each other, Harry." Lady Rache had her arm across his shoulder.
Harry was quite for a while until at last he spoke.
" What's a magic daughter?"
" Oh, it's a child that has been magically adopted. With Anne it's different. Usually a adopted child cannot be an heir to the parent's assets, but with Vampiric Elves, it's different. You see, none of the ones we call children are our own. We lose that option when we created. So because of this, any child of a parent can be an heir. But because Anne is a witch, that is what the 'magic' part of the title comes from."
" Ok I see know. Thanks." Harry looked up at her, but turned when his name was called. He looked up and saw Anne was waving him over, also calling over Meagan and Jamie.
" Well, come on people. I don't want to hang around a train station all day. I am eager to go home." She was bouncing in Conor's arms, who looked amused. She looked over at Meagan. " I assume the whole family is there already?"
" Not all of them, but yah, a good chunk of them are." She responded.
" Ok then. Jamie, be a dear and bring me and Harry's trunk will you?" Anne was grabbing Harry and as she said this, she was already saying the incantation to take them home.
" Why should I?" He asked, looking up at her.
" Because I am taking Conor and Harry with me and you better not make mom push that cart."
" Hey, WAIT!" He screamed.
But before he could grab her, Anne said the last word and then all three were gone.
Jamie was left standing there, while Meagan chuckled.
They were now standing in the middle of a village and it seemed alive with all the decorations.
" Wow, they really outdid themselves this year." Anne said, taking in all the decorations.
" They missed you, Anne. The village isn't the same without your constant flights to make us…oh how do you put it? Oh yes, ' up the atmosphere' of the village." Conor said, smirking at the giggling Anne. She turned to Harry, who was mesmerized by the village.
" Welcome Harry, to my lovely home. What do you think?" Anne was now holding Harry's hand and was looking into his eyes.
" Wow, it's better then you described it, sis. It is amazing." Harry was turning in circles, watching the decorations dance and twinkle.
Anne chuckled as she watched him. He was enthralled with the canopy. While he spun, she sang, at once notifying to everyone that she was home.
"Winter winds have gone and faded
I told the skies of thoughts of gray
Tears upon my pillow laying
A child lost to pain
I pray for better days
Lift me up
Lead me from this place
Let your love be mercy on my face
Rising up, I changed before your eyes
Out of darkness, standing in the light
Heaven hoped you'd come and change me
Out of that, just make me whole
Lift me up and recreate me
And help me overcome myself
Lead me from hell
Lift me up
Lead me from this place
Let your love be mercy on my face
Rising up, I changed before your eyes
Out of darkness, standing in the light
I'm rising up, I'm moving on
Give me strength to carry on
I feel the light upon my face
I hear the angels' words of grace
My broken wings will never fly
Lift me up and justify
I'm standing up, I'm standing out
I feel the warmth come crashing down
Lift me up
Lead me from this place
Let your love be mercy on my face
Rising up, I've changed before your eyes
Out of darkness, standing in the light"
" Lady Anne, welcome home."
" Welcome home."
" Hello little owl."
The last voice shook her awake.
" Finbar!" She leapt into her brother's arms and was being hugged just as tight.
There were noises and Anne stood back and saw that, yes, a very good chunk of her family was here. Close to 700 elves were gathering.
" Hello all! Miss me? I know you did. I would like you all to meet someone." She turned to Harry, who was gazing at all the elves. "Harry, come here. Everyone, this is my biological brother Harry. Be nice and leave the poking and prodding until the rest of the family arrives. Right now, Harry has to meet someone else right now. So have fun and please, don't eat all the food." A chuckle was heard from the crowd as they dispersed.
" Come on Harry."
Anne led Harry along a familiar pathway until they came to the clearing that held the great oak.
" Hey, Anne, how is this open area free of snow? It's December and I cannot find one speck of snow." Harry asked, gazing around.
" You wouldn't. This forest is ancient. Snow hasn't fallen here for 3 centuries and I don't mind at all. I hate snow. Blasted stuff is too cold. But come on."
Anne pulled Harry behind her until they were in front of a great slab of stone that was decorated with many interesting designs.
" Harry, I want you to meet Liadan." Anne's voice was cracking as she fell to her knees and the tears fell.
Harry didn't say a word, just held her as she cried and was near tears himself as the song played.
"Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooooh
Na na na na na na na
I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't
Oooooh
I hope you can hear me cause I remember it clearly
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
Ooooh
I had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you are gone, now you are gone
There you go, there you go,
Somewhere your not coming back
The day you slipped away
Was the day i found it won't be the same noo..
The day you slipped away
Was the day that i found it won't be the same oooh...
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you"
Anne stood and left Harry sitting as she withdrew her knife and moved to the tree. She again traced the initials and began to carve a fresh line from LP until the line was ended near the top of the AP. Anne carved a new set of letters, HP and connected the two initials with a series of spirals that indicated siblings. As she worked she sang.
"Is there anybody out there?
That wakes up with a bitter taste?
It's a king that we put up there
and he's a short way to fall from grace
it's slowly filling upward.
You can stand but you have no ground.
I hear it from the lost word.
They say its time that you lost your crown.
Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
when hearts are beating
say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don't wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Is there anybody out there?
That can see what a man can change?
It's better that you don't care
because he knows that he's in his state
I feel the paranoia.
When there's a time, put you in your place
in the eyes of those who watch you
Well they can wait 'til they hit your face
Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
when hearts are beating
say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don't wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Paint yourself a picture
When you waste another picture
And you will, and you will, and you will
Paint yourself a picture
And then you break another picture
And you will, and you will, and you will
And you will, Yeah you will, and you will
Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
when hearts are beating
say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don't wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Don't be so greedy.
A dollar's a penny to you
when hearts are beating
say what you want 'em to do.
Wasting away... I see you.
When the top of the world falls on you
Finally a day, don't wanna be you.
When the top of the world falls on you"
They were standing by the fire, talking with Finbar when an angry voice called out.
" Well if it isn't the little whore."
(To be continued)

"Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
She said "Some days I feel like shit,
Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
I get along but the trips always feel so long,
And, I find myself trying to stay by the phone,
'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone,
But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
You know the place where you used to live,
Used to barbecue up burgers and ribs,
Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile,
But now, you only stop by every once and a while,
Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
You can call me if you find that you have something to say,
And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
That I'm stuck here waitin', no longer debatin',
Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
For why you're not around, and feeling so useless,
It seems one thing has been true all along,
You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone,
I guess I've had it with you and your career,
When you come back I won't be here and you can sing it...
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
Where'd you go?
I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone,
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home...
Please come back home…"
And
"I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
but she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me
Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
Ooh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
cleaning up the mess he made
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
Boys, you can break
You find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman's good, good heart
On behalf of every man
looking out for every girl
You are the guide and the weight of her world
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too."
And
"Last night I saw that beauty queen
Watched her paint her face on
I wanna be that magazine
That she bases life on
I wanna waste her monthly blood
Wanna get some on my love
Wanna get some gasoline
And burn the house down
She's got nothing to say
She's got bills to pay
She's got no one to hate
Except for me
Last night I saw that beauty queen
She's getting high on Revlon
I wanna be that magazine
That she wastes her life on
I wanna waste her monthly blood
Wanna get some on my love
Wanna get some gasoline
And burn the house down
She's got nothing to say
She's got bills to pay
She's got no one to hate
Except for me
Me.
When I saw that beauty queen
watched her paint her face on
I wanna be the one unclean
that she wipes her ass on
wanna waste her monthly blood
wanna get some on my love
wanna get some gasoline
And burn the house down
She's got nothing to say
She's got bills to pay
She's got no one to hate
Except for me
Me.
She's got nothing but shame
She takes pills for pain
She's got no one to blame
Except for me
Me."
Ok so your options are these. I basically use all my songs but then there are songs like these
