Dumbledore & Luna
Lami's heart raced. She paced back and forth in front of the door. Her mind spun to the point she thought she was going to pass out. "Calm down," she told herself. "You're going to be fine. Daddy taught you how to handle yourself. You can survive this."
"That's a very good thing," a man behind her said.
Lami jumped. Stumbling forward she summoned her orbs. Spinning around she came face to face with an old man with a long white beard. He stared at her with curious blue eyes sitting behind a small pair of glasses. "Who are you?!"
"Albus Dumbledore," he said. "And it is very nice to finally meet you."
"You...are you the one who brought me here?!" Lami demanded.
"Indeed." Dumbledore stroked his beard. "It was I."
"You stupid piece of s-" Lami lifted a roaring gale, cutting off her last word. She wrapped her winds around him, threaded fire on the outside of it, and tried to kill the man who took her from her family. Suddenly, her gale and fire disappeared. "No!" She paused when she saw four orbs floating around the old man. They were almost identical to hers only they looked worn, slight dull in their color yet a strong magic emanated from them. Her wind and fire absorbed inside of them. "What are...?"
"You know exactly what these are, Miss Potter," Dumbledore said.
"I'm not Potter!" Lami snapped. "My name is Trafalgar Lami!"
"Oh, yes," Dumbledore said. "My apologies. Hagrid informed me of that. It might take some time to get use to that name. I only know you as a Potter."
"Why have you brought me here?! Why did you take me away from my family?!" Lami demanded. "You have no idea how much you've ticked off my dad! When he gets here he's going to kill you!"
"The spell was suppose to bring you all here," Dumbledore said.
"What?" Lami gaped at him.
"I would never kidnap a child," Dumbledore said. He tapped his chin. "I wonder what happened."
"What are you talking about you crazy old man?!" Lami screamed.
"I'm sure Hagrid informed you of this place," Dumbledore said.
"You mean that stupid magic school or whatever?" Lami asked.
"This place is called Hogwarts not stupid magic school or whatever," Dumbledore said. "And it's a place where young men and women like yourself come to learn how to control their magic."
"There's nothing wrong with my magic!" Lami said despite knowing that wasn't true. "I want nothing to do with this! Send me back home!"
"I'm afraid that is not possible, Miss Po-" Dumbledore cleared his throat when she glared at him. "Miss Trafalgar. You're magic is on the verge of exploding with terrible results. If you do not train here then-"
"No!" Lami snapped. "I told you I want nothing to do with this stupid place, you rotten old goat!" With that Lami turned and ran.
"Wait!" Dumbledore called out.
Lami didn't stopped. Her shoes pounded on the ground. It beat in sync with her heartbeat. She had to get home. She had to get back to her family. She reached the ocean. Pulling her water orb in front of her she summoned a wave to pull her back to her dad and crew. Yet only a small wave rolled up to the shore. She growled and tried again and again. Each time a wave came up it was only small. No way it would get her anywhere near where she wanted to go. Then suddenly, her water orb flashed and a ten foot wave rolled up on her. Before she could react, the wave crashed down on her. Her body slammed against the ground. The wave rolled back to the ocean. Lami coughed and spit salty water out of her mouth. Pulling herself off the ground she headed down the beach to try and find a ship she could use. The minutes past. The sun started to go down. Her legs throbbed from all the walking she did. And no ship came in sight. "Where the heck am I? What island doesn't have a harbor or a single ship?"
A cool sea breeze drew over her skin, causing her to shiver. Looking over the island she tried to figure out what she should do. It would be getting dark soon. She needed some shelter. And so far the only building she seen was the one she came from. Where she was at the moment all she could see was a forest. "Just great. Guess I'm sleeping outside tonight."
She headed into the woods. The trees were larger than she was use to. Several had their roots halfway out of the ground, giving plenty of space to sleep under them. So she walked to the closest one and entered it. Gathering up some small twigs and branches she started a fire then used her earth orb to pull vines around the roots to give herself cover from the cool wind and anyone who might pass by. Wrapping her arms around her knees, she stared into the fire, wondering how furious her dad was right now.
...
Law dropped to his knees when his little girl vanished before his eyes. He couldn't believe it. Lami was gone. And there was no way he could even start to know where to look for her.
"What happened?" Penguin asked.
"How did she...she's couldn't have..." Shachi stuttered.
"I can't smell her scent anymore," Bepo said. "It's like she completely disappeared."
"Don't say that!" Shachi and Penguin snapped.
"I'm sorry." Bepo hung his head.
"Captain, how is this possible?" Ika asked.
"Was it something to do with her orbs?" Fugu added. "Did she do this to herself?"
"No." Law shook his head. "She's never done anything like this before. Besides, she was scared. She had no clue what was happening."
"So what do we do now?" Shachi asked.
"We..." Law started. But he stopped. He had no idea what he should do. Since he had no idea where she went or who took her he had no idea where to go or who to look for. Would she come back here if she escaped? Should they go look for her anyway? He gritted his teeth and punched the ground. "When I find whoever took her I'm going to torture them half to death and back again a thousand times over until I decided they had enough then finally chop them into tiny pieces until they die."
The whole crew stood in silence. They all greeted with their captain. No matter what happened they were going to get their little girl back.
...
Lami woke up the next morning to find her fire had dwindled to cinders. With a sigh upon remembering where she was she sat up. Summoning her earth orb she tried to create something to eat but nothing happened. Her orb vanished. "Just great. I'm unable to use my orbs, I don't have any weapons on me, and now I'm going to starve." Another sigh. "I wonder how hard it will be to sneak into that school or whatever and get something to eat."
She sat there for several minutes. Her stomach grumbled, demanding for food. With no other option she got up and left her makeshift home. Slipping back to the ocean she made her way back to the school. But she didn't go right up to it. She hung back, hidden in the trees so she could observe the school. Several other students were out on the grounds. There didn't appear to be anywhere she could slip in unnoticed here. Disappearing back into the shadows of the trees, she worked her way around the school in hopes to find someway inside. One full circle and she dropped to the ground with a heavy, defeated sigh. "There's too many people here. I can't even scale up the stone walls of this place. What am I going to do?"
"For starters you could eat," a girl said.
Lami whipped around. Standing there was a blonde hair girl. Lami rose and readied herself for a fight.
"There is no need for that." The girl giggled before shoving her hands forward. "Here. Eat."
Lami dropped her eyes down to the girl's hands. There was an apple and a banana in them.
"I'm sorry I couldn't bring you more," she said. "If I had I would have drawn more suspicions to myself. Though that wouldn't have been much different than any other day."
"Huh?" Lami tilted her head. "Is there something wrong with you?"
"Perhaps." She smiled. "Then perhaps not. Either way you don't need to fear me. I am your friend."
"Did that old man send you after me?" Lami asked with a glare.
"Headmaster Dumbledore? He did not," she said. "I came on my own. I saw you yesterday. You looked rather upset. I tried to find you last night but it was like you were a leaf on the wind."
"A leaf on the wind?"
"You floated off with it."
"You're so weird."
"Maybe. Here. Eat this. You'll feel better." The girl jutted the fruit towards Lami. "I am Luna Lovegood."
Lami took the fruit. "Trafalgar Lami."
"Trafalgar? What kind of name is that?" Luna asked.
"It's my dad's last name," Lami said.
"Oh! So your name is Lami," Luna said. "I'm sorry."
"It's fine." Lami peeled the banana and took a bite. "Thank's for the food."
"I hope you like it. I didn't know what you would eat," Luna said.
"This is fine," Lami said. "I'll take any food given to me. I was taught not to waste food."
"That is a good lesson." Luna pulled her skirt to her legs and squatted down. "I would ask if you're here for the school's magic program but after seeing you yelling at the headmaster I assume that's not the case."
"It's not," Lami said. "He forced me here. I hate him."
"Don't be like that," Luna said. "He is really kind."
"I don't see him that way," Lami said. "He can rot in the hottest depths of h-"
"Surely you don't mean that," Luna said cutting her off.
"I do. My dad and crew are going to come here and kill him for taking me," Lami said. Anger flared up inside of her. Her hand pressed the banana into her palm, smashing it up some.
"Crew?" Luna tilted her head.
"I'm a pirate," Lami said. "My dad is the captain of the Heart Pirates."
"Interesting," Luna said. "I've never met a pirate before. Though I'm afraid they won't be able to come here."
"What do you mean?" Lami looked up at her.
"This island is protected by a magical barrier. Only those with magic or a letter of entry are allowed to come here," Luna said.
"Magic? You mean that..." Lami trailed of. Tears leaked over her eyes. "I won't be able to see my dad and family again?"
"Don't cry." Luna reached out and brushed Lami's tears away. "They can still come."
"How?" Lami looked at her.
"The way you were brought here," Luna said. "Though the retrieval spell."
"Retrieval spell? What are you talking about? Can you do it?" Lami asked.
"No, I am not a water or wind wielder," Luna said. "I cannot cast that spell."
"I don't understand. What do you mean?" Lami asked.
"We all here have the element orbs," Luna said. "But we all do not wield all four of them. Only very powerful wielders can do that."
"But I'm not..." Lami dropped her eyes to the ground. It wasn't possible.
"I take it from your expression that you have all four?"
Lami nodded.
"Then you must be very special indeed," Luna said. "With a very special magic."
"Don't say that. I'm not...I don't have..." Lami started. But she was unable to finish. She really had no idea who she was or where she came from. Her body shivered. This place was starting to look like it had the answers to her past. She always thought of her abilities like a devil fruit. It was a power not a magic. But now she wasn't sure what to think.
"Lami, I have no idea why you came here like you did but I believe the headmaster brought you here for a reason," Luna said. "You really should go talk to him."
"I don't to talk to him," Lami said. "I want to be back with my family."
"Well, the only way that is possible is through the headmaster," Luna said.
Lami gritted her teeth.
"Come with me. I will take you to him." Luna held out her hand.
Lami looked at her. Her silvery blue eyes held an innocence that she had never seen before. She knew, somehow, that she could trust this Luna Lovegood. With no other choice, she placed her hand in the blonde's hand and let herself be pulled to her feet. Luna lead her back to the school and inside. Her eyes roamed over the walls and pictures. The pictures were of people she didn't recognise and of landscapes. And they were somehow moving. Before long Luna had led her up a set of stone stairs and to a wooden door. She gulped. She could feel the man's power behind the door.
Luna reached out and knocked on the door.
"Come in," a muffled but familiar voice said.
Luna opened the door and pulled Lami inside.
"Ah, Miss P-Trafalgar," Dumbledore said. "It's good to see you again."
"Maybe for you," Lami said. Looking around the room she found a lot of books, several different shaped bottles, and a strange looking bird on a perch.
"Headmaster Dumbledore," Luna said. "Lami would like her to go home to her family."
"I'm afraid that isn't possible," Dumbledore said.
Lami growled at him.
"But I will bring them here," he said.
"What?" Lami asked.
"You all were suppose to come here," Dumbledore said. "I have no idea why the spell only brought you."
"See? As I told you," Luna said.
"Then bring them here!" Lami demanded.
"Of course, Miss Trafalgar." Dumbledore waved his hand at his orbs. They were glowing. His wind orb had the wind whipping around it like it wanted to go somewhere but an invisible force was holding it back. "I am working on that right now. I'm afraid it's being far more difficult than it should be. It might be a while before they will get here."
"Would it be all right if she stayed with me then?" Luna asked. "I could show her around the school. She could even sit in class with me."
"That sounds like a wonderful idea, Miss Lovegood," Dumbledore said. "You have my permission to escort her."
"Wonderful!" Luna cheered and clapped her hands.
Lami lifted an eyebrow at the girl beside her. Never before had she met anyone like her. She got the feeling things were going to be far more interesting here than she first thought or wanted to admit. "How long will it be until they are here?"
"It's hard to say," Dumbledore said.
"Give it an educated guess." Lami frowned.
"A couple hours to a couple days," Dumbledore said.
Lami's heart sank. She had no choice but to accept it and let it go.
"Shall we get going?" Luna asked.
"Fine." Lami turned and headed out of the room with her new friend.
Finally! I got another chapter done! T.T Remember this is a magic AU so a lot of the Harry Potter world is going to be different.
