Disclaimer's note:Um... I don't own Ceres, Celestial Legend, or Inuyasha. If I did, Aya'd be with Toya, and Inu would have chosen Kagome already. GO LOVE! (I've already disclaimed Harry Potter, so don't make me do it again!)
Bonus Chapter
Interference
The grand hallway was dark and eerie, with inly the occasional sound of thunder breaking the silence. Snape, Bellatrix, and Wormtail crossed the huge archway into the chamber, a tall chair of ebony and silver placed center of it. Someone dressed all in black was sitting in it, a gigantic snake slithering at the occupant's feet. His hands were among the few features visible, skull white, with long, spider-like fingers, a crystal goblet half-full of blood-red wine in the left one. His eyes, which were as red as fresh blood, and had slit-like pupils that were like daggers, also shined brightly in the near-darkness like a death-ray.
"Enter," commanded the throne's inhabitant, his voice high-pitched and as cold and deadly as a poisoned icicle.
The three Death Eaters approached their master timidly, fear coursing in their blood. All three of them dropped to their knees and bowed low, showing their respect for their Lord of Darkness.
"Well, well, well,"said the Dark Lord. "It's so wonderful to see my three most faithful followers here and whole, but something seems to be lacking."
All three of them shuddered as Voldemort made the last comment.
"Wasn't it supposed to be," Voldemort continued, "that you would retrieve a certen young wizard, who should have been only too easy to kidnap?"
Bellatrix could never stand her master's fury, and it was she who tried to defend the trio's efforts "It wasn't our fault, Master, we had him in the palm of our hands-"
"Scilence!" Voldemort commanded, and Bellatrix went quiet imediatly. "I do not wish to hear your pathetic excuses. You say that you had Potter in your grasp, and yet he seems to have slipped through your fingers again. Why is it, I ask, that he still seems to evade my three most competent Death Eaters, when he is mearly an unweaned pup? Severus, I wish to hear your take on this failed mission."
Snape rose to his feet. "As Bella said, Master, we did have Potter cornered at first. We were able to put his uncle under the Imperius Curse, but Potter eventually realised what was going on, which is when we infiltrated the house. We captured the muggle family, while Potter tried to fight back. After approxamatly two hours of struggling, we finally managed to weaken him enough for capture. However, we came across an unexpected obstacle."
"Surely your not referring to those meddlesome fools from Dumbledore's old Order of the Phoenix, are you?" Voldemort sneered.
"We don't know what it was!" screamed Bella, tears streaming down her face. "At first we thought that it was just a foolish muggle girl, but then-!"
"SILENCE!" Voldemort yelled again, throwing his goblet at her. He rose to his feet. "Your saying that you were thwarted by a mere girl? Is that what your telling me?"
Bellatrix was now sobbing uncontrollably. Snape tried again to speak.
"Master," said Snape, trying to keep himself from losing his composure as well, "What we encountered wasn't by any means an ordinary girl, not even by wizarding standards!"
"What was it, then?" Voldemort spat, riseing to his feet and now bringing himself into full viewing. His face was flat and lipless, with slits for nostrils, and his head highly domed. Like his hands, his grotesque head was as white as a burial shroud, and the look on his face was that of pure outrage. It was hard to believe that this tall, thin man, who's remains of a soul was tainted with pure evil, was once a handsome young man who had much respect from people other then his followers.
"I believe," said Snape, his voice shaking uncontrolibly, "that the thing we met was a Changeling. It looked like one of Mikage's daughters."
"Mikage's?" said Voldemort, his eyes widening with puzzlement and anger. "That's impossible! Unless..."
He gave a great howl of rage that echoed across the grand room. All three Death Eaters coward under his screeching voice. Then, after twenty or thirty seconds of uncertenty, Voldemort turned back to his audience.
"Are you sure it was Mikage's?"
"It couldn't be anyone else," said Snape. "I have only met two of his children, having married one of them. What we met looked identical to the younger one. However, the only creature I could think of that could call upon Celestial Magick like that is a Tennin. If it is Mikage's daughter, she must be a Changeling."
Voldemort's mind was racing. He knew that the Mikage family, in the Far Eastern sector ofhis Death Eaters was highly faithful. The head of the household, Taigokumaru Mikage, had joined their ranks when Voldemort agreed to kill his part-human child, which he did. Supposedly, they had another daughter, but there was no proof of this other then Severus's account. How could the Changeling brat have survived? 'But of course,' Voldemort remembered, 'Unlike Potter, she's half...'
Voldemort began to pace, trying to remember what the Changeling looked like, but nothing seemed to return to his mind, except-
"Severus," said Voldemort, returning to his collected self when he was planning, "I want you to inform Macnare, Crabbe, Dolohov, and anyone else under that devision, of the situation; if that Changeling is indeed alive, and is helping the Potter brat, we'll need her out of our way. I can't afford any more delays towards that boy's death. Have them come to me when they are informed."
"Yes, Master," said Snape, bowing low again.
"Also, Bella," Voldemort commanded, "I want you to retrieve your nephew. This may be a chance for him to redeem himself."
"Thank you so much, Master!" sobbed Bellatrix blissfully. "You truly are merciful!"
"And as for you, Wormtail," Voldemort continued. "I wish for you to organise a search the area for the Mikages and any unusual young witches. If she is still in Japan and you find her, kill her imediatly. Let me know if you face any difficulties. If it turns out that she has left that continent, find out as much as you can about her."
"Yes, Master," said Wormtail. " I have but one question, though; what does this particular Changling look like?"
There was a pause, as Voldemort tried to find the right words. Finally, he said slowly, "The one we're looking for is half human, but can easily be mistaken for a true one. She will, however, bear the apperience similar to that of a veela. Either her eyes or hair will help you distinguish her from a normal human. She'll also exhibit the weakened abilities that only her non-human parent would have, so use caution if you do come across her. Now go!"
And with that, all three Death Eaters Disaperated to their designated tasks. As Wormtail and his devision flew towards Japan, he thought to himself, 'At least I've repaid my debt to Harry Potter,' remembering how he had intentionally made his uncle mention Dumbledore.
Wow! a cliffie! Yay! Sorry if the Bonus Chapter was lame; I didn't even intend for it to exist, I just wanted to see the Death Eaters get chewed out! lol. Next, the aftermath of the fight, and confessions from an unexpected person! And what about Harry's rescuer? Stick around to learn more!Also, from now on, I'll use the more common turms for magic and stuff, unless someone requests otherwise. Thank you, readers and reviewers, for, well, reading and reviewing! Arigato!
Here are the Defonitions you've all been waiting for!
Harry's state of alertness went to red: This means that his awareness levels were at their sharpest. The levels of awareness in survival are red (highest level, fight or flight response), Yellow (aware of your surroundings, but no immediate danger), Orange (Somewhat aware of what's going on around you), and White (not awareness of what's happening, in La-la Land). It only means that Harry was preparing himself for if he needed to fight or run.
His eyes were compleatly blank: for all of you non-otakus reading this, In anime, a character's eyes go 'blank,' or lose the huge shine in the eyes, when he or she is hypnotized, severly dazed, controlled by someone or something else (like in Vernon's case), dead or dying, or even (in a few cases) blind.
Serpentsortia: conjures snakes, used in book 2. I decided to have Harry conjure a Diamond-back rattler, just because I happen to like those kind of snakes (In truth, I prefer constricters and other snakes that are deemed harmless, but Cobras and Diamind-backs are cool too).
Depulso: From the Prisioner of Azkaban video game. It's just an offencive jinks that moves things and blasts targets more effectivly then the Flipendo Jinks (Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets games. for those of you who know I havn't played the games, I found this stuff out on Wikipedia).
Orbis: from the Goblet of Fire vid-game, this spell spins creatures and people around and drills them into the ground. (Personally, I think that the spell should have been the Latin word for "spin," "drill," or "screw.")
Periculum Maxima: the original spell, Periculum, was used in the forth HP movie, and all it did was send red sparks, like a flair. I had the spell edited by adding the Maxima part (Hay, it worked so well for the spell, Lumos!), so that, instead of sparks, an intense beam would be fired, and be seen by the mysterous girl who saved Harry. I didn't think fireworks would be the best solution, as the members of Order are either still in London, or at Ron's place.
Mikage: from the manga Ceres,Celestial Legand, Mikage is the name of the family who wishes to kill their daughter (who is the main character). the name translates to "dark shadow," which is fitting for the family, as they are dark wizards. The name of the father, Taigokumaru, comes from Inuyasha. In that episode, Taigokumaru was a bat demon who killed his own son when he refused to help his clan. The reasioning behind the use of that name, if it's not clear here, will be further explained in later chapters.
