**As you can tell by how I write Rath I'm not very good with the NY slang, but I figured that Ava will have grown out of her accent after a while in Europe. Also Ava left in the second season of Roswell, which I translated it as she would have arrived in the HP world during the 3rd book.**
Chapter 22
Ava's Guy
Ava smiled as she grasped the man's hand. He smiled as he kissed her on the cheek. Liz and Maria exchanged curious looks.
"Liz, Maria, this is my fiancé, Charley Weasley." Ava said smiling.
Maria held out her hand; he shook it as she spoke. "Pleased to meet you."
"Very pleased," Liz added. "You are Ron Weasley's brother, right?"
He seemed surprised by her identification. "You look too old for Hogwarts."
"Oh, we are, but we just discovered our powers and Dumbledore said better late than never." Maria explained.
"Yes, I am Ron's brother. Please do not tell him we are here, we are not supposed to arrive until after Christmas."
Maria looked at Ava. "Dumbledore knows you're here?"
"Yes, he's the one who found me." Ava replied. "After I left Roswell, I traveled around a bit and I soon realized I was being followed by a government agent. So I stowed away on a plane. It landed in England, some how I got lost, and wandered into Diagon Alley. Lucius Malfoy was there and he recognized me as a relative of his."
Liz nodded, "your donor."
Ava's eyes widened slightly realizing that Liz knew about that. "Yeah, well," she sat on the bench next to Maria, "Dumbledore was near by and heard the outrage Malfoy was making. I managed to mind warp him, just as Dumbledore came upon me. He took me to Hogwarts, we talked, and I told him everything. He told me that he wanted me to learn magic, but with Malfoy's son there it might be too dangerous. So I was instructed under an auror named Moody and when he was called to work at Hogwarts I was sent to Charley. Oh and he knows all about my past." She said whispering the last sentence.
"So are you two?" He asked.
"No, just going out with them." Liz said.
Ava glanced at Maria's growing bump. "Michael's?"
Maria nodded her head. "Part alien, human, and wizard, could my life get anymore weird."
"You're a witch?" Charley asked.
Maria nodded her head. "So what are you guys doing here, I thought Ron said you lived in Romania?"
"Oh, I do, we are just here to do a little Christmas shopping."
"What about you guys?" Ava asked. "What are you doing here?"
"Getting a wand." Maria said.
"You didn't get one when you first arrived at Hogwarts?" Charley asked.
"Not really Ollivander sort of just gave me a fake one. I only recently came into my powers, due to some mischievous acts when my mother was pregnant." Maria looked up to see Amy walking toward them. "Speaking of here comes my mom."
Charley and Ava turned around as Amy joined the circle.
"Charley Weasley, Ava, this is my mom, Amy Deluca." Maria introduced.
Charley shook her hand, but when Amy turned to Ava she paused. "Are you going to play with my memory too?"
Ava was taken aback, she wasn't expecting Amy to know about her power. "No, I'm not like Tess, I don't like to use that power anymore. It doesn't feel natural or right, to manipulate people. It robs people of memories they probably would be better off having, and (looking at Maria and Liz) mentally and physically harms people."
"You know?" Liz asked.
Ava nodded her head. "When she left for Antar, I had a dream about it. I don't know if it was from her or Isabel." She caught Liz and Maria's surprised looks. "He's also a good influence on me." She said as she hugged Charley.
"Deluca?" Charley asked. "Did you go to Hogwarts?"
Amy nodded her head.
"My dad mentioned you once."
Amy smiled. "I used
to tutor him in Muggle Studies."
"Yes, best tutor he ever had, he said.
But didn't you vanish before taking your N.E.W.T.S.?"
"Yes, but that is not something we should discuss here."
"Course not, well, we have more shopping to do. We'll see you at Hogwarts after the New Year."
"Yes, nice to meet you both." Amy replied.
Ava exchanged hugs with Liz and Maria. The three watched as Ava and Charley walked off.
"Well, that was unexpected." Maria said.
"So Ava is good and Tess was bad?" Amy asked confused.
"Yeah, pretty much." Liz said.
"Confusing, huh?" Maria asked.
"Quite." Amy agreed. "So a train leaves for Hogsmede is twenty minutes. I checked out the station. I didn't see any agents or police, but I'll cast a glamour anyway." Amt recited the spell as she waved her wand at the two girls. "Okay, follow me."
"Michael Guerin studying, who would have thought?" Michael looked up from the book to see Max smiling down at him.
"Well, it's not like high school." Michael replied with a smile.
"No, it's certainly not." Max added as he took a seat next to Michael. He glanced around the library before turning back to Michael. "So what are you studying?"
"Defense Against the dark Arts, you know if we went here in the first place I might have actually went to class."
"I know what you mean, this feels a lot more like home than Roswell did."
"Speaking of Roswell, have you written home yet?"
"Yeah, I sent a letter after our first week. I told the owl to just leave it on the doorstep. I told them we were alright and not to worry, that were are somewhere safe."
"Yeah, safe." Michael scoffed, but then he saw Max's face. "She'll be fine, Isabel's tough."
"And a wizard can kill with a word and a wand wave."
"Yes, but we're part alien, so it might not kill us."
Max nodded his head and then changed the subject. "So are you ready?"
"Ready?"
"For fatherhood."
"No, but I have thought of names. I have time she's due in June."
"You have to protect her even more now." Max pointed out.
"I know, but against her father? It sucks, but I understand." He caught Max's eye. "Hank."
Max nodded his head.
"Question: Kavar dies, we resolve everything here; would you go back to Antar or stay here? Cause I have a family now, I won't leave her."
Max was silent for a moment. "I don't think I'd go back, maybe just contact Larek and tell him Kavar is dead and let them worry about the rest."
Michael nodded his head. "They did just leave us here with guardians who could have cared absolutely nothing for us."
"Speaking of does anyone know what happened to Ava?" Max asked.
Michael shook his head. "We could really use her though."
"Yeah, we could."
Ava glanced at Charley, he seemed worried about something. "Charley, what's wrong?"
He looked away from the train window at her. "What do you know about Amy?"
"Only that she's Maria's mother, she likes Kyle's dad, Jim Valenti, and now apparently she's a witch."
He glanced out the window again, and looked back at Ava. As he did this she got up and sat next to him, her body facing his as she sat sideways in the bench. He also turned his body to face her. She took his hands in hers as she watched him.
"My dad was concerned after Sirus Black was cleared. He sent me a letter telling me about Black and Remus Lupin."
"Remus Lupin is the werewolf who teaches DADA?" She asked trying to remember the name.
"Yes, they were closed friends with the Potters and a Hufflepuff girl who was a year old than them, Amy Deluca. She was best friends and later dated a Slyterine named Thomas Riddle, who was friends with Severus Snape."
"I'm confused why are you telling me all this?"
"Because if my father was able to figure it out, there is no telling how many people will be able to as well."
"Figure out what?"
"Maria may become a very powerful witch or even worse her child. Thomas Riddle is Voldermort."
Ava realized what she was being told.
"I'm telling you this, because unlike your hybrid relatives you are the only one to have mastered both your alien and witch powers. I received your NEWTS scores back yesterday, you received very high marks in all categories."
Ava's face brightened up. "The others they only just started their education, they…"
"They need your help."
"I know, but I had a bad feeling that something is going to happen before I get to them."
"A premonition?"
"No, just a feeling."
"If you were supposed to know something, wouldn't Liz or Maria have told you."
"Maybe, maybe not, they are a very self-contained group. They don't really trust a lot of outsiders."
"But you are one of them."
"Have I told you about Rath and Lonnie? Plus Tess was part of their group and she betrayed them. So because of my absence, I may not be fully trusted."
"They're not, what did you call it conspiracy theory?"
Ava smiled. "Our presence on earth is a conspiracy theory."
"We, our existence is considered a myth to muggles."
"So we really are the perfect couple." She joked.
Charley laughed. "Do not tell my mum you said that or she'll start planning our wedding."
"So I guess eloping is out?"
"Absolutely."
