A Blue Starred Sky

Chapter 8

Date: 12, December 2015 Entry Number: 286 Location: Beaufort Sea

The thing about the Fall of Heavens was that there really were so few that could be trusted, that any chance of rebuilding the world was lost. Not that he didn't understand it. After all, when you had demons at you right, automata at you left, and different groups of magical or non-magical nature, trust was hard to earn.

It was an appropriate name, he supposed. The declaration of the second blood war took place on the 19th of June in 1996. For some few years, the war destroyed most of Britain and started spreading all through Europe. In 2003 it was renamed the Fall of Heaven, because it was when the muggles got fed up and took part. With nukes, of course, because destroying the world is always a brilliant idea.

It's probably why Alastor's idea of a battleship was immediately taken up. A home to stay rather than never staying in one location for more than two weeks was so tempting. The sad truth is that war is the greatest time for development. And it had. Automats had been more or less easy to deal with when they first appeared in the late parts of 2002. A strong cutting curse and they were destroyed, alongside similar spells such as the explosion charm and impulse charm. Two years later demons started appearing, little by little a stronger class, to the point that it either required careful planning, powerful magic, and a lot of trust, or complete annihilation.

2007 is when things started getting more complicated. He hadn't learnt what they were called, but a new, more advanced modal of automata had started appearing. They could take most spells excluding a powerful explosive one to the chest. Since they were artificial, reaching a speed of 25 mps was child play, alongside they reaction speed, dodging they one-handed sword was much more challenging.

And now, in 2015, they found out the rumoured Titan class automata that Gabrielle had gotten word of from France just before they were never heard of again.

He momentarily lost his balance as the whole ship shook again. This time from the mane guns having just fired. Colliding with the closing approaching Titan. The massive mass of metal, with the sea level just surpassing what he assumed was its waist, momentarily faltered as it moved slightly back, probably taking two or three steps to regain its balance. It's red glowing enormous eyes momentarily deactivating before the furious red returned. moving its fist against the helm of the ship, creating another shock wave through it as the wards just barely hold up the kinetic energy.

"I DONT CARE WHO DOES WHAT! BUT SOMEONE DISTRACT THAT THING BEFORE IT SINKS US WITH THE SHIP!" He barely heard Daphne's shout over the sound of the storm through the loudspeaker as he wiped the rain of his eyes.

Grabbing hold of Virtuous Oath from the air he quickly stored his wand in the storage cube on his waist. He momentarily studied his enormous target. It lived up to its title of Titan.

While it was huge, it was also slow. He could use that to his advantage.

What would be the equivalent of his elbow seemed to be his week link. That would be where he would attack.

Gaining momentum he run to the other side of the ship before jumping off the railing into the sky, momentarily at a higher high than the titan before him.

If there was one thing that he had no equal in was the amount of detail he could put into his magic. Which was why using magic to push his body came so naturally to him.

The average human could jump somewhere between 0.3 to 0.4 meters. By using magic, he had no problem pushing it to a thousand times higher. Thought this was the first time he was actually using it, since using magic for a 500 or so meter fall was much more complex, but in this case, he would fall at most 70 or so meters. So there really wouldn't be much of an impact recoil...as long as he didn't miss. -I really should think things through- He chastised himself.

Luckily, or not, depending your perspective, he landed on the titans shoulder, bending his knees slightly before standing at his full height, observing his surroundings.

"Great! Not only is a titan a giant automaton of mass destruction, it also serves as housing for the advanced class of automaton." He complained to himself as his grip on his blade tightened observing the automatons carefully. For once, the explosion spell may be more useful than hand to hand combat, since after all, the ground itself was a weapon of mass destruction.

Sighing deeply, he slightly spread the distance of his feet, moments later sending two explosive charms before his blade crashed with that of his first pray.

"So...this is your girlfriend?" The poor man asked trying to get his head around it.

After all, a month ago he had just found out he had a daughter, and now he found out she was also gay...but since he was a former male, that made him straight? No, since he dated his own gender and the other she was bi...? Shaking his head he realised that the two girls in front of him where amused by the whole thing, thought the girlfriend was much more amused than his daughter.

"That's me, at least one of the two" Hermione said enjoying every moment of it. It was revenge for the terrible sense of humour she had had to put up just before their fifth year in the previous world. Revenge was a dish best served cold after all.

"I'm not going to ask." He said rubbing his templates as Violet giggled.
Hermione took notice of the action and made a mental note to take advantage of it sometime later. A mental feral grin forming as she thought of giving her former boyfriend now girlfriend the talk.

"So how are you feeling?" Violet asked trying to help her father out.

"Better, the fact that there's actual sunlight helps. But does that elf really need to be here?" He asked in a tone of desperation and disgust.

"Kreacher warms up to you once he finishes insulting you. And he finishes when they stop working." Violet explained as Sirius just looked at her desperately.

Shaking her head, Hermione reapplied the glamour on Sirius as they exited the restaurant.

"Now that we warm and feed, I think we should move to more important topics." She commented as both of her companions turned towards her. "Shopping she said cheerfully as Sirius looked at her in horror.

"Absolutely not, I saw that smile once with Lily, never again! No! Help me out here Violet!" He begged his daughter as he turned to look at her.

He was shocked to see the war veteran, powerhouse to the point that he could take over the world alone, have a look of complete defeat and trauma on his face.

"It will be easier on you if you just let her take the lead." She said encouragingly, with eyes that lacked any form of happiness. He was doomed.

Hermione, on the other side, was greatly amused. Harry had actually gotten used to the shopping years ago, and had even started enjoying it. But he did anything she wanted if she asked nicely, and her revenge on the man for his terrible sense of humour was just the beginning! She mentally laughed madly at her masterplan. Witch remind her-

"When is Sirius seeing a mind healer?" She asked Violet as Sirius looked surprised.

"Wait, I'm not-"

"I was thinking maybe Andy, since anyone else would report him in a heartbeat." Violet explained as Mione nodded in understanding.

"What do you men I-"

"Yeah, Sirius's situation does complicate it. At least with Andi she'll ask for an explanation first before hexing." Hermione admitted remembering her Dark Lady role modal.

"Wait! Time out!" Sirius said loudly as both girls head's turned around to look at him with raised eyebrow's.

"Mind healer?" Sirius asked.

"Sirius, you were in the middle of the war as an Auror, then you went for over a decade in Azkaban with hardly anyone to talk to. The potions I made will only do so much." Violet explained. As Sirius opened his mouth to complain she continued. "It will also mean that Andi will find out you innocent." She pointed out as he snapped his mouth closed.

"Fine" He finally accepted slightly annoyed at having a genius as a daughter, who seemed to also be dating a slightly mad genius as well. Oh well, at least that discussion allowed me to get out of going shopping to-

"Now it's time to raid the shop's" Hermione said with a smile telling him that she knew exactly what he had thought. Sirius gulped nervously.

"I think we may have gone overbred." Violet commented as they walked by the harbour.

"May-be" She said cheerfully as her girlfriend smiled affectionately at her.

"So where are we going? Weekend or not I do want to check out the library to see if I missed anything." She commented as Violet's smile just grew wider.

"And I wouldn't dream of denying my favourite bookworm her library, but I think you may change your mind when we arrive." Violet responded with a child like smile she didn't even know she was still capable of smiling.

"Oh? And what, pray tell, is this place?" She asked curiously.

"Nuh-uh. You not getting anything out of me young lady" She responded as Mione huffed in fake annoyance. Knowing that shed get nowhere she changed the subject.

"I really need to get a subscription to the Quibbler and the Daily Prophet, It would have been a dead give away that you were changing things if I had." She noted as Violet nodded in understanding.

"I'll get you a subscription for both by the start of next week, I do miss Mr Lovegood's puzzles." She commented off headedly before coming to a stop.

"Something up?" Hermione asked curiously as Violet flashed her an amused smile.

"More like in front of us" She said nodding towards the sea. Mione narrowed her eyes, realising that there was a powerful, large-scale version of the notice me not charm. Using her magic, she focused it into her mind as a huge ship, or rather battleship, appeared before them.

"You got her?" Hermione breathed out in slight amazement, staring at a different but still very familiar form of Yamato.

"I do recall saying that we would be up to mischief tonight." Violet said in amusement as they both climbed on board.

"It's a date then?" She asked, arching her eyebrow as Violet laughed.

"Not a very romantic one, but a date it is."

"Oh please, as if either of us is good at being romantic." She said as they both recalled Dora's idea of Romantic.

"I'm sending a letter to Amelia Bones tomorrow to find out if Dora is here as well." Violet commented as Hermione nodded thoughtfully.

"Any ideas what could have brought us here?" Hermione asked thoughtfully, coming up with very few ideas.

"I was thinking of the Deathly Hallows" Violet commented as she nodded in agreement.

"I had the same idea, we found them before either of us died, so perhaps we were more involved in the magic than what we where aware of." She said as Violet nodded lost in her own thoughts.

"Huh?" She suddenly let out in surprise.

"Something wrong?" Violet asked as Hermione pointed towards the sea.

"We moving." She commented in surprise before locking at Violet for an answer as she founded in confusion before she realised what had her so confused.

"Oh, it's something I came up with some few years before the end of the war." She said as Mione raised her eyebrow with a hungered gleam in her eyes.

"You aware how remote controls work?" He asked as she nodded before her eyes widened in realisation.

"You using your magic as a signal, so you are In fact controlling the hole ship. But the amount of concentration that would require for it to work is..." She trailed of waiting for Violet to answer.

"It's a form of Occlumency, It allows you to split your consciousness, effectively allowing you to multitask. Of course, in most cases this is useless. But if you trying to, lets say perform two high levelled spells, you could do them at the same time. I actually got the idea from Dolphins, it's how I could stay awake for over a week without collapsing." She explained as Hermione locked at him hungrily.

"Teach me, now!" She practically demanded.

The first day of class they had Potions, alongside Charms and Arimathy. Violet loved the subjects, she really did. But it was so simple and dull for the two of them. They had Mastery's equivalent in all three of those subjects, and in the few they didn't, then it was NEWT's. It got so tiring that she had ended up splitting her conscious to not to die of boredom. And even then the conscious paying attention to class had been half asleep.

"Thank god professor Vector didn't give us any homework!" Hermione cheered as they ate dinner. Violet snorted in amusement, while she agreed with Hermione completely, seeing her girlfriend cheer for no homework was a beautiful sight.

"I know, I ended up splitting my mind for all three." Violet said as Hermione sent her an annoyed and curious stare.

While three wasn't her limit, it was the point where she could comfortably enter without any side effects. There had been two occasions when she had been forced to use four for over three minutes. Both times after use had found Harry in bed rest unable to move without feeling pain throughout his body. After the second time, she had decided that ten seconds using a fourth conscious should be the limit.

How Luna managed to use seven with only a slight headache will forever be a mystery to me. She mentally remembered the many times the genius and last surviving family had amazed her. Which reminded her that she had yet to find Luna.

"What did you do with the other two?" She asked, curiosity having won by a longshot.

"Used one to work on plans for Yamato while the other went through the basic part of the tournament. The trying her best not to fall asleep." She confessed as Hermione nodded in understanding.

"Evans! Hey, Evans!" A voice shouted as Hermione let out a grown. Violet was incredibly tempted to do so as well since it was the idiotic narcissistic brat that believed the world owed him something with his two shadows. Just a meter down the table she heard Rose let out a grown as well, obviously guessing what it was about.

"What is it, Malfoy" Rose said with equal amount of annoyance.

"Your mum's in the paper, Evans!" said Malfoy speaking very loudly, so that everyone in the packed entrance hall could hear. "Listen to this!"

Girl who lived, endangered for uneducated muggle-born?

Once again, the question if a muggle-born should be in charge of our Saviours life is asked, writes Rita Skeeter, Special Correspondent. Our of ignorance from Lily Evans, formerly Lady Potter, Rose Evans was put in grave danger as she barely scraped death, losing her wand in the Death Eater attack." Malfoy looked up, enjoying the attention he was getting from the now quite hall.

"Lost your wand, really Potter? How pathetic are you?" He taunted as an irritate Rose glared at him.

"Get lost Malfoy." She said in annoyance.

"Of course, having a mudblood of a mother, there's no surprise that you don't make much of a witch." He taunted as Rose tensed up, but didn't respond.

As furious as Violet was with Malfoy, he was more surprised that Rose said nothing. Granted, he hadn't had a decent form of human contact for years, but she had thought that she had figured her younger sister out. So why wasn't she responding to...Ah, of course! Rose Evans! Returning an insult is what he wants. If Rose said anything, Lily would be out under more fire, and with Malfoy using his money, taking the insult was better than Rose being separated from mum. Violet smiled evilly inwardly.

"Is there something you need, Malfoy?" Violet spoke up with a slight posh manner that, quite ironically, Malfoys mother had taught her.

"No need to concern yourself with these Lady Ravenclaw, Ev-"

"On the contrary, when an idiotic imbecilic boy starts shouting at a student with no provocation, insults her mother, and no one does anything including the teachers-" She said the last part sending a quick glare to the hall in general."-then it is something I am greatly concerned about. After all, you ugly an idiotic, not to mention opposite to how your house should act, is something greatly concerning as the owner of this school." She taunted as Malfoy faces went an ugly shade of red.

"How dare you insult me! I am the heir to the house of Malfoy, not to mention my father is-"

"What's this?" Hermione said letting her dark lady persona slip. "Weren't you the Lady of the Ancient and Noble house of Ravenclaw, Violet?" She said to her lover in clear amusement of some form of revenge.

"That is indeed correct Hermione." Violet said just as amused. "However, you forgot to point out that the House of Malfoy, immigrated from France two or three centuries ago. Not to mention that they immigrated because they were persecuted for countless crimes, including robbery.

"HOW DARE YOU-" Malfoy started screaming, but was surprisingly interrupted by Rose.

"What's that? The Malfoys are actually considered petty and common thieves in other countries?" Rose said in fake horror, thought Violet could easily spot her lip twitching.

"WE ARE NOT TH-

"That is indeed correct. Quite ironic if one thinks about it. All Draco here can do is talk about his tiny fortune and how awesome his murdering death eater father, oh, my apologies, 'imperiosed' murderer is." Violet said as the hall when deathly silent.

"The horror!" Violet said in fake shock. "And nothing was ever done?" She questioned.

"No, nothing whatsoever. Only a rummer passed in Britan that that thief used most of their fortune to not be turned over back to France. Such a shocking and outrageous rummer as well, don't you agree? Ms Evans?"

"Most definitely. And please address me as Rose Lady Ravenclaw." She commented.

"Only if you address me as Violet. I and Hermione were heading towards the library, you see we both have a low tolerance for idiocracy. I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining us?" She asked Rose, who briefly showed surprise before eagerly nodding.

"Id love to accompany you" She agreed as they both stood up.

"Don't you dare insult my father! " Malfoy shouted finally regaining what little brain he had.

"Insults? What a grave accusation Draco." Violet said before turning away with the other two, remembering full well what was about to happen from the previous time. A quick glance towards Mione and she nodded slightly, moving her hand towards her other sleeve.

A loud bang echoed through the hall as people screamed. Violet quickly pulled Rose out of the way as she raised a shield charm witch absorbed the spell easily. She heard a second loud bang followed by a slightly familiar roar that echoed through the entrance hall.

"OH NO YOU DON'T, LADDIE!"

Crouch Jr, Violet thought slightly bitterly.

There was a terrified silence in the entrance hall as the man disguised as Moody walked towards Violet, clearly impressed from her display.

"Impressive reactions, lash!" Junior complemented with a growl.

"Thank you, professor Moody." She said completely at ease.

"LEAVE IT!" Moody shouted as Violet slightly smiled in amusement. Junior turned around, limping toward Crabbe, Goyle, and the ferret, which gave a terrified squeak and took off, streaking toward the dungeons.

"I don't think so!" roared Moody, pointing his wand at the ferret again - it flew ten feet into the air, fell with a smack to the floor, and then bounced upward once more.

"I don't like people who attack when their opponent's back's turned," growled Junior as the ferret bounced higher and higher, squealing in pain. "Stinking, cowardly, scummy thing to do. . . "

The ferret flew through the air, its legs and tail flailing helplessly.

" . -" said Junior, speaking each word as the ferret hit the stone floor and bounced upward again.

"Professor Moody!" said a shocked voice.

Minerva was walking down the marble staircase with her arms full of books.

"Hello, Professor McGonagall," Junior greeted calmly, bouncing the ferret still higher.

"What...what are you doing?" Minerva asked, her eyes following the bouncing ferret's progress through the air.

"Teaching," said Moody.

"Teach...Moody, is that a student?" Minerva shouted, the books spilling out of her arms.

"Yep," said Junior. This time Violet was able to sense a small amount of amusement coming from the Polyjuice'd man.

"No!" cried Minerva, running down the stairs and pulling out her wand; a moment later, with a loud snapping noise, Draco Malfoy had reappeared, lying in a heap on the floor with his sleek blond hair all over his now brilliantly pink face. He got to his feet, wincing.

"Moody, we never use Transfiguration as a punishment!" Minerva berated the man. "Surely Professor Dumbledore told you that?"

"He might've mentioned it, yeah," said Junior, scratching his chin unconcernedly.

Or he might have mentioned it to someone else. Violet thought in amusement.

"but I thought a good sharp shock -" He tried explaining to Minerva.

"We give detentions, Moody! Or speak to the offender's Head of House!"

"I'll do that, then," said Moody, staring at Malfoy with great dislike.

Malfoy, whose pale eyes were still watering with pain and humiliation, looked malevolently up at Moody and muttered something in which the words "my father" were distinguishable.

"Oh yeah?" said Moody quietly, limping forward a few steps, the dull clunk of his wooden leg echoing around the hall. "Well, I know your father of old, boy. . . . You tell him Moody's keeping a close eye on his son. . . you tell him that from me. . . . Now, your Head of House'll be Snape, will it?"

"Yes," said Malfoy resentfully.

"Another old friend," growled Moody. "I've been looking forward to a chat with old Snape. . . . Come on, you. . . "

And he seized Malfoy's upper arm and marched him off toward the dungeons.

Minerva stared anxiously after them for a few moments, then waved her wand at her fallen books, causing them to soar up into the air and back into her arms.

"So, Library?" Hermione said in amusement as Violet snorted equally amused.

"Of course." Violet answered as Rose simply followed the two still processing what had happened.

"Thank you for helping me there" Rose said honestly as Violet waved it off.

"No need for thanks, it shouldn't be allowed to happen in the first place." Violet commented in amusement. The previous confident and slightly cold Rose was gone, and now she was a nervous mess, even if she was slightly succeeding in hiding it.

"So, any particular subject you interested in?" Violet asked trying to ease the girl. It worked.

"I enjoy most of the subjects to be honest, thought Professor Snape has a grudge against my family and takes it out on me, and the Defence against the Dark arts teacher never lasts more than a year. It's a pity as well since it seems to be my best subject." She commented passionately as nodded sympathetically.

"Any preference in defence in term of defensive spells?" Violet said excitedly. It was, quite accurately, like having a younger sister.

"Well, I personally favour..."
