These next chapters will basically going through the different point of views of the characters until we get up to Christmas. Stuff will still happen, but I'm getting antsy as I'm sure you are.
Chapter 25
2 weeks lost
Eyes, thousands of eyes staring up in fear, all are waiting for the figure above to speak.
"I have killed the royal four, so I am your new ruler. The council will not help you, for I Kavar, am now your king."
No one spoke out of fear. Their beloved king was dead, along with his court, and now this tyrant has claimed the throne.
Gasping, followed by heavy breathing as Isabel sat up quickly. Her face was red and dripping with sweat, her messy, tangled hair was matted to her face. She glanced around to find herself in her bedroom at Voldermort's house. The curtains were drawn closed over the doors to the balcony, a little bit of sunlight shone through between the curtains. She pushed the heavy comforter back and saw that she was dressed in one on Lonnie's outfits, a blue camouflage baby tee, and black cargo pants, and her feet were bare. She slowly swung her legs over edge of the bed. She slowly stood, the floor was cold, so she slipped her feet into her sneakers. She slowly and silently tread over to the door. She was about to open it, when she heard voices.
"Two weeks. She's been asleep for two weeks." Lonnie exclaimed.
"It was a lot of power." Nicolas replied. "The four of us slept for a week, it's probably expected."
"Yeah, well, I'm still worried about her. If what V said is right, she got his memories too. That's a lot of crap to live through."
"I just worry about what she'll discover."
"Like the past that none of them remembered?"
"That, and why Kavar was really here and his plans."
"There were other plans?" (small pause) "You didn't know?"
"No, he wouldn't tell me, beyond Max and Mikey, I don't know what he had planned for her."

Michael awoke with Maria curled up in his arms. Her growing belly stuck out between them. He smiled; it was his child growing between them. Both joy and worry raced through his mind. He wanted this child, if it, no, she or he had power they could raise him/her here in the wizard world. That wasn't what worried him. Voldermort was what worried him, the man obviously knew by now. So what was the wizard going to do?
"Spot it you're too young for wrinkles." Maria scolded yawning.
"How long have you been up?"
"Long enough to watch you smile and then start to worry."
"She needs a name." Michael said resting his hand on her belly.
"She? What if it's a he?"
"Don't call the baby it."
"I wasn't I was just. The baby won't be an it," she was having a hard time trying not to say alien, but was having trouble trying to come up with a different pronoun. "The baby, doesn't matter what she/he looks like, ill still be ours no matter what." She leaned in and kissed him on the lips. "It's funny though."
"What?"
"Well, Max and Liz get married first, but we're the ones having a baby."
Michael tensed, "should we, I mean should we have been married first?"
"Too late for that now," she smiled.
"I'm serious should we be…"
She put her hand over his mouth. "We have too much to worry about right now; I want to get married when everything is more settled, peaceful."
"Where?" He asked quietly.
She smiled. "In the country or by the sea outside (she closed her eyes) Liz will be my maid of honor and Max your best man. Remus would give me away, because he was the closest thing I ever had to a real father. Mom will be there with Sirus and Severus. Dumbledore could marry us. Kyle, Ava and Charlie, Isabel will be there, and maybe Rath if he's good."
"Sounds nice."
"Yeah," she whispered as she rolled over and pushed her back against Michael. He pulled her into his arms, intertwining his legs with hers and hugging her. She grasped his hand and pulled his arm around her tighter.
Amy awoke next to Severus in the infirmary in a weird situation. She saw Severus next to her, but when she sat up she realized that Sirus was sleeping on the other side of her. She quietly slipped out of the bed and ran out. She was confused, she loved them both, but feared how they felt for her and then there was Jim Valenti back in Roswell. What was she going to do? Everything was so weird. She needed a nice hot bath to clear her head and get ready for classes. She headed back to the Hufflepuff tower to get some clothes and to sneak into the Perfects' wash room.
Kyle lay in bed staring up at the ceiling. He had gotten so used to Isabel's presence in his head that he hadn't missed her. But lately she had been very quiet. It made him realize the truth. He loved her and when she came back her was going to tell her. And then go to the Malfoy's for Christmas. Christmas it was almost here, three more weeks. Three more nerve racking weeks. The closer it got the more he began to hate the holiday, but he'd made a deal. Maybe he'd learn something useful during his stay. At least Draco would be there, so they could suffer together. 'Poor kid' Kyle thought, 'that could have been me, instead of being the sheriff son.' It's not like he could even begin to imagine, Michael could probably relate better. The more he thought about Draco the more he began to wonder about his mother. Was it true did his mother really leave him, because she thought he was a squib? What kind of person does that make her? How will she react now that he has powers? Sure they're alien powers, but the issue is still there. He held up his hand and watched as he made it glow. 'Man, his life sucked.'
Snape rolled over, his arm slid off the body next to him. Missing the warmth Sirus rolled over his arm draping loosely over the body next to him. Madame Pomphery walked in and began opening the curtains as she turned to where Severus and Sirus slept she was caught by a rather amusing sight. Unable to hide her giggle any longer, she fled from the room. With the morning sun light now beaming down on them, the waking world was calling. Snape yawned as his eyes slowly opened. He felt the body next to him and smiled. Sirus yawned quietly his hot breath tickling Severus' ear.
"Mmmorning." Sirus whispered.
Severus' eyes nearly fell out of his head. He tried to jump up quickly, but ended up on the floor.
"Amy?" Sirus asked, feeling the body next to him fall away. He opened his eyes and leaning over the edge of the bed. "Amy?"
"Ahh!" Severus and Sirus screamed as they realized whom they had had spent the night with.
Kyle and Draco were making their way to the great hall, when they saw Sirus ahead of them as a dog speed out from the hospital wing and leap up the stairs. A split minute later Snape followed and ran down toward Kyle and Draco with a very disgusted look on his face. Kyle pulled Draco out of the way as Snape ran by. The two boys looked at each other.
"What's up with them?" Kyle asked.
Max and Liz entered Potions to find a very disgruntled Snape. As soon as Maria entered he called her up to his desk.
"Wonder what's wrong?" Max whispered to Liz.
"He's probably decided he's going to give her an A now." Liz whispered back.
"Is Liz parker, honors students jealous?"
"No, well, yeah, but, in Roswell it was easy to the teacher's pet. Here I'm a disadvantage."
"Because she's pregnant or because the teacher has a thing for her mom."
Liz glared at Max. "Joking, of course."
"Because at heart I'm a scientist, I can't wrap my mind around some of this stuff. As Maria said, I was going to be the brilliant scientist and she would be my wacky friend."
"And now it will be the other way around?"
"Looks like."
Snape cleared his throat signaling the beginning of class. Max and Liz shared a quick smile before looking up at the professor.
Rath watched Hermione as he helped Harry and Ron with their homework.
"Rath!" Draco hissed.
Rath jumped and looked over at his tutor. "Sorry, so we're not going to start with 'I Can Read' books, are we?"
"I can read? No, is that a muggle thing?"
"Yeah"
"No, I thought you could just learn to read your book for class."
Rath nodded his head, "good."
"Are you alright? You seem spacey."
"I'm half alien; I'm supposed to be spacey."
"No, I mean distracted."
"Oh, I just keep waiting for Lonnie or Isabel to pop back in."
"You can't stop them?"
"Not anymore than you can stop Harry or Max from being so pigheaded."
Draco smirked and looked up at Harry and co. Harry caught Draco looking at them and glared back. Draco smiled and turned back to Rath. "So let's start at the beginning, hopefully this will help you study, too."
"Oh, goodie."
Amy entered DADA and was about to take a seat when Sirus called out to her.
"You must have thought that was pretty funny, huh?"
"What?" She asked as she dropped her stuff at her spot.
"Real funny, this morning."
"What about it?" He dragged her up to Lupin's desk. Amy pulled his hand off of her arm. "What are you talking about?"
"This morning I awoke hugging a body that was not you."
Then it hit her, "oh," she giggled. "You didn't kiss him good morning, did you?"
"No, I did not, he fell off the bed."
"Wow that is really funny." She said laughing. "You know I needed a good laugh, thanks." She turned and walked back to her seat, where the rest of the class had assembled. As Lupin walked in, Sirus glanced at Amy and then to Lupin and then stormed from the room.
Hermione had insisted that Ron and Harry go to dinner with out her and she'd meet them there. As she walked she began to think. Was being with Rath a good idea? He was older than her, by five years, she was 15 he was 20. Her friends would disapprove of them, but would her parents. Probably not, her mother was older than the father. The alien part didn't bother her, it actually enticed her. When he changed her hair it was a little unexpected, maybe he could just give her streaks. As she thought this warm arms snaked around her waist.
"I missed you." Rath whispered into her ear.
"I missed you more." She whispered back.
He let her go and stepped next to her. He was about to lean down and kiss her, when they heard voices behind them.
"My father says no one can get them to wake up. They've tried everything. He said there power radiating off of her."
"Who?"
"That alien girl, Isabel."
Hermione felt tense Rath next to her. They both turned to see Adam Sleem and two Slytherines walking toward them. They were about to step around the couple when Rath reached out, grabbed Adam, and slammed him against a wall.
"What did they do?" Rath demanded.
"Like I'd tell you." Adam replied.
Rath raised him right hand. Adam's eyes widened seeing the palm of Rath's hand begin to glow. "What did they do?" Rath asked again.
"Drained the alien, g-gave Isabel the biggest chunk. Now they can't get them to wake up."
"Who?" Hermione demanded.
"Lucius Malfoy, Lord Voldermort, the boy, Isabel, and her twin."
"Nicolas and Lonnie," Rath whispered. "Do you have contact with V?"
"M-my dad."
"Tell him to tell V that the bug in Snape is dead and I'm going to kill the others. Understand?"
Adam nodded his head, "yes."
"Good," Rath let him go. The boys ran.
"I didn't know you cared about the others." Hermione spoke.
"I don't, but I'm sick of being everyone's toy."
"Well, you're not mine."
He kissed her forehead. "Good."
"Although," she felt him freeze, "you keep changing my hair."
"I'm sorry."
"No, I was just wondering, can you just give me violet-red streaks?"
He smiled; "sure," he waved his hand over her hair. As they neared the hall his arm dropped to his side. She noticed, but didn't speak. She didn't really want the school to know about them yet. "I'm going to sit with Draco and Kyle." He said.
"Okay, see you."
He smiled as he entered the hall.
Harry watched Hermione enter the hall after Rath, walk over, and sit next to Seamus. She seemed a little flustered, but why? Ron who usually seemed oblivious had noticed her distraction earlier in the library.
"Hey, Hermione, what's happened to your hair?" Ron asked.
"I needed a change, so I asked Rath to help me out."
"The evil twin?" Harry asked.
"He's not evil just lost."
Ron and Harry glanced at each other.
Rath sat down next to Draco, "hey, squirt."
Draco glared at him glancing at him outfit, "you're supposed to wear a robe."
"What that girly dress, no thanks."
Kyle smirked. "Go on, Rath, tell all the guys how you think they look girly."
Rath smiled, "doin' 'em a favor."
Kyle shook his head as he took a bite.
"Speaking of girly things we need to talk after dinner."
"Sure," Kyle replied with a full mouth.
"Max, Mikey and everyone."
Kyle swallowed, "what's wrong?"
"How are Max and Michael girly?" Draco asked confused. He turned to Kyle and saw his look of panic, "oh".
Rath watched as everyone gathered in Snape's classroom. He should have expected that everyone would show. Max entered and glared at Rath. Sirus reached out and grabbed Max by the shoulders and slammed him into a seat before he could attack Rath.
"Leave the boy alone!" Sirus barked. "Rath, you have the floor."
Rath breathed in deeply. "I was headed to dinner when I heard that brat Adam Sleem talking. Kavar's dead, they drained his powers and each took a chunk. Iz received the biggest chunk. Now the death guys can't wake them up."
"Well, sleeping after a spell like that is normal." Remus replied.
"How long will they be asleep?" Kyle asked.
"A week."
"I heard," Draco spoke, "Mum says Isabel disintegrated Kavar's body."
"That might not have been her, right?" Liz asked. They all turned to look at her. "Physically Kavar was in a husk, it could have just been a natural reaction to that type of power."
Dumbledore nodded his head.
"What do we do now?" Amy asked.
"If what Liz says is true, our enemy could be asleep for a while, so keep your mind on your studies and we'll worry about that when the time comes." Dumbledore replied. "Thank you, Rath, for informing us."
Rath saluted the wizard, hopped off the desk he sat on, and left the room. That hadn't been so bad, he thought to himself.
Larek watched as the husk matured, it was molded after Brody. That way the royal four could trust him easier or so he hoped. Larek had a very bad feeling about this mission.
