Chapter~One: Returning to Normalcy
"You can't really mean that," An achingly familiar voice told her coming from a shadowy figure.
She shook her head as a tear ran down her cheek, "You kept this from me - I can't just let that go. You could have told me once you trusted me, but you kept it a secret! I-I just," She let out a frustrated cry and turned away from the shadow, "I can't-. I actually thought we were friends...that I...we..." She rubbed at her eyes as she took a deep breath and straightened, "This is the last time I will speak to you like this-. Next time we meet, we'll be enemies," She turned her head to offer the shadow an apologetic smile, "I hope we don't meet again as I'd rather not hurt you. No matter how much it hurts me, I can't bare to see you hurt. Goodbye-."
Enya's eyes opened and she groaned as her head ached sharply. She covered her eyes as Hermione shoved the curtains of her four-poster to the side, "Wake up, Enya. We're leaving today, remember?"
Removing her arm, Enya told the bushy haired and cinnamon eyed girl, "I have to go back to the Dursleys. Why in the name of Inari would I want to wake up?"
Hermione shook her head and crossed her arms over her chest, "You're only going to be with them for two weeks. After that, you'll be traveling with Sirius and Remus on a European tour."
Enya sat up with a sigh as she rubbed at her temples in the futile hopes of easing her headache, "They hate me and I hate them. Besides, why are we even listening to Dumbledore?"
Hermione only sighed before asking with a concerned frown, "Your head hurting?"
"Waking up with a headache as usual," Enya couldn't remember the last time she'd woke up without out.
"Perhaps you should go see Pomfrey before we leave," Hermione suggested earning a soft snort from Enya.
Enya slowly got out of bed causing the prayer beads around her neck to jingle softly, "She isn't going to give me a headache relief potion today because of the potions that I took yesterday," Enya offered Hermione a light smile, "Don't worry, I'm used to having these headaches."
Enya ran a hand through her damp curly hair as she walked downstairs with her trunk in hand and Hedwig's owl cage in the other. The red and black strands slowly dried even more as she focused her magic through her fingers. She glanced around the common room and found people rushing around in a frenzy trying to find various objects that they might have left there. Enya snickered softly as she moved towards the only member of the Weasley family to not be taking part in the frenzy. She poked the girl in the shoulder, "Ready to go get something to eat, Gin?"
"Yeah, Sparky," Ginny replied making Enya roll her eyes.
"Why can't you give that nickname a rest?" Enya asked her making the ginger haired girl giggle.
"Would you rather I call you Ember?" Ginny asked making Enya shudder, "Either fits your liking of fire and the fact you can control it as easily as breathing,"
Enya shook her head before she gestured towards the portrait hole, "Want to head downstairs now? Hermione's trying to find the last of her books and I doubt the boys will be down anytime soon."
"True enough," Ginny stood up and they made a beeline for the portrait hole while trying to get through the crowd of frantic lions, "I wonder what the other houses would say about the messiness of the lions,"
Enya smirked at Ginny as they left the crowded and much too loud common room behind them, "Probably that we should be called the house of the unprepared or the house of hoarders."
Ginny let out a soft laugh, "True. Did you figure out how your going to stash everything?"
"During my time in Durzkaban last summer, I created a hollow under one of the loose floorboards and covered it in runes that make it far bigger on the inside than it actually was," Enya explained with a sight grin making Ginny stare at her in surprise, "So, I won't have any trouble storing my shit. I even have one of the twins' fake wands charmed to look like mine for Vernon to confiscate while my real one is in my bag of goodies,"
"You figured out how to use the expansion runic array?" Ginny asked her with shock coating her tone.
"Yup," Enya felt smug, "Not to mention the other runic arrays I've been working on,"
Ginny shook her head and told Enya, "I think your insane."
"The best people are," Enya retorted as they walked down the steps.
Enya wanted to groan and would have banged her head against the nearest hard surface had it not been for the fact her head felt like someone was taking a hammer to it. The reason for her current feelings was sitting in the carriage that she shared with Hermione and Ginny. Ronald Weasley's loud mouth was making her head hurt worse than it had all year which was a feat. Enya was surprised that she hadn't snapped and attempted to light the bastard on fire. Enya's lips quirked into a frown as she thought 'Of course, I can't do that since I promised Ginny and the twins that I wouldn't physically hurt their brother,' She really regretted making that promise at the moment, 'Why did Luna have to be late? This would be so much easier if she hadn't been because then I wouldn't have to deal with this idiotic loudmouth.'
Enya's thoughts stilled as Ginny told her brother, "Ron, I think it would be a good idea to stop attempting to talk with Enya."
"Why?" Ronald glared at his sister, "I was just seeing if she'll be coming over to the Burrow this-"
"I won't be," Enya cut him off, "I'm going to travel around Europe with my Godfather and Remus until a few days before we head back to school. At that time, I'll be staying at the Leaky Cauldron or perhaps Sirius' house,"
Ronald frowned at her and said, "You really shouldn't be spending time with that-"
"Insult my family and I'll happily light you on fire," Enya cut him off feeling her already thin patience snap, "I didn't ask for your fucking opinion nor do I want it. You are an annoying loudmouthed pig that smells like three week old garbage on your best day. If you do not leave me the hell alone, I will go back on my promise to your siblings and burn you to cinders,"
Enya's fingers were sparking slightly in warning making the boy yelp and move as far away from her as the carriage allowed. Ginny sighed softly and shook her head as she muttered, "Idiot."
Hermione coughed lightly and gave Enya a look that made the pyro sigh as her fingers stop sparking. Hermione smiled before asking, "Ginny what are planning on doing?"
"Bill's coming back for the summer and Charlie's planning on visiting for a little while," Ginny told her, "I'm hoping that I can get their help on deciding what to do if Quidditch doesn't work out for me,"
Enya closed her eyes and leaned back against her seat as her two of her best friends became lost in their conversation.
Enya laid down on the bench in the compartment they had chosen though Hermione left to go to the last Perfect meeting on the train this year. Ginny sat down on the seat across from her and teased Enya, "Comfortable?"
"Very," Enya yawned softly, "You gonna read or try to find your newest boyfriend?"
Ginny rolled her eyes with a light smile on her freckled face, "And leave you alone? No, I'm pretty sure one of your many fans would attempt something if I did."
Enya shuddered at the reminder of her 'adoring' public and laid her arm over her face with a low groan. She had enjoyed a year where her various fanboys and fangirls, there weren't a part of the illegal defense club she ran, had left her pleasantly alone because a majority of the school thought she was either totally bonkers or violently unstable. Considering how many times she'd sent people to the hospital wing due to her temper problem, she wasn't surprised with the second one. It still didn't stop the many money grubbing idiots from attempting to get with her either because of the fortune she got from her father's family, how attractive she apparently was, or because of how intelligent she was. She muttered under her breath, "I hate my life."
"Don't we all, Potter," The smooth drawl of Draco Malfoy came from the door of the compartment.
Enya lowered her arm and saw that the pale blonde was without his constant companions, "Malfoy, I never thought I'd see without Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Finally gain the courage to walk around without them or did they drop you because daddy dearest isn't paying them?" Ginny covered her mouth with slightly wide eyes as Draco's face turned pink and Enya found herself giving the boy a predatory smirk, "Oh right, how is your father? Is he liking that nice little cell in Azkaban?"
Draco took out his wand as he growled, "Potter-"
"Careful, Heir Malfoy," Enya replied while holding up a hand filled with fire and a feral smile on her face, "Do you really want to attack me? You after all know how badly it hurts to be burned. Not to mention, I'm fairly sure your mother would be disappointed in you for attacking the heir of the Blacks," Draco paled as his wand arm dropped to his side, "Now, I suggest you leave before I burn up that fancy little wand of yours. My patience isn't the best today,"
"This isn't over, Potter," Draco spat at her before leaving with his tail between his legs.
Enya released her grip on the fire as Ginny commented, "I'm honestly surprised you didn't light him on fire."
"He isn't worth it and Sirius said that I couldn't even if the little ferret is annoying," Enya laid back down with a low groan, "It's going to be so hard resisting the urge to light the Dursley's on fire this year,"
Ginny snorted softly, "I'm surprised you haven't done it before."
"Oh I have," Enya replied making Ginny look at her in surprise, "But that was before I started Hogwarts," Enya paused, "Hm...I could just steal a lighter or something..."
Rather than comment, Ginny decided to read and ignore her pyromaniac of a friend.
"You're my sister," A blurry figure with white hair asked Enya, "So why would you do that?"
"Because-," She sighed softly and ran a hand through her hair, "I love him. Please-, I don't want to lose you,"
Warm arms curled around her and the feeling of love rolled over her. It felt just like when Fred and George hugged only better for some reason. The blurry white haired figure murmured, "You won't. I may not like it, but I'll support you so long as he doesn't hurt you."
Enya yelped as her back hit the ground. She heard a few snickers as she opened her eyes to see Hermione offering her a raised eyebrow, "Have a nice nap, Enya?"
"What the fuck was that for?" Enya groaned as she carefully got up and sat back down on the bench.
"You wouldn't wake up and I didn't feel like attempting to pour water on you," Hermione looked her over with a frown, "You okay? You were twitching and muttering things,"
"I was?" Enya looked at her in confusion, "What did I say?"
The soothingly soft voice of Luna Lovegood sounded from next to Ginny, "You spoke too lowly for us to hear."
"What were you dreaming about?" Ginny asked her curiously as she placed down the book she'd been reading into her lap.
Enya ran a hand through her hair as she tried to remember before shaking her head, "I can't remember."
"Like usual?" Hermione asked earning a nod from Enya, "I wonder why you can't remember your dreams,"
Enya snorted softly, "I can remember the bad ones and the ones I get from Voldemort, Hermy."
"Don't call me that!" Hermione growled at Enya making the pyro smirk.
"Don't call me Sparky," Enya replied making Hermione's eyes narrow dangerously.
Before anything could happen between them, the compartment door opened and the snack trolley operator asked, "Anything from the trolley?"
Enya immediatly got distracted by the snacks as her friends snickered and shook their heads. Hermione sat down with a small huff only to brighten as Enya gave her two sugar quills.
Enya hugged Luna as they all stood up once the train came to a stop. Luna returned the embrace and whispered into Enya's ear, "The past of the soul will combine with the present and the phoenix will rise once more to finish the deal with Death alongside her allies. The goat will fall alongside the snake as the grey ones reunite with their light. Only with pleasure, the phoenix will rise to cleanse the world of the bad and usher in a new age," Luna pulled back before telling Enya, "Have a good summer."
With that, the blonde disappeared before Enya could speak leaving the pyro staring after her completely speechless. She finally shook her head as Hermione laid a hand on her shoulder, "You okay?"
"I'm fine," Enya decided to push Luna's words into the back of her mind for now, "Let's get going, the sooner I get to the Dursley's, the sooner I'll be with Sirius and Remus touring Europe,"
Enya grabbed her trunk and Hedwig's cage after making sure the snowy owl's cage was securely shut. With Hermione at her side, Enya departed from the train and immediatly found herself engulfed in a hug by Sirius. The dog-animagus and now freeman told her, "I missed you, Pup."
"Missed you too, Siri," Enya returned the hug before letting go, "Do I really have to go back to them?"
"Yes, but only for two weeks in order for the wards to recharge," Sirius took her luggage and they left the platform.
Enya glanced back at Ginny, Hermione, and Luna who were standing by the train. The three waved at her and she waved back at them while Sirius babbled about their upcoming trip. Enya felt a shiver go up her spine as she noticed the look on Luna's face. Luna looked torn between horrified, resigned, regretful, and somewhat pleased. Enya knew that Luna was a seer and what Luna had told her on the train was important to her future, but something about the look on Luna's face showed that the blonde hadn't liked what she seen. Enya frowned slightly as they left the platform before she turned forward. Enya felt a jolting feeling go down her spine as something brushed her arm. When she looked to the side, she saw nothing but people walking around. Shaking her head with a sigh, Enya thought, 'Luna really needs to stop doing things like that. I'm going to end up as paranoid as Moody if she keeps doing that.'
The Earl stared after the red and black haired teenager as she walked away with a man he recognized as Sirius Black. He knew that the teenager was mostly like Enya Potter which made the feeling he'd just had all the more interesting. The Earl reached into his pocket and pulled out his cellphone. He dialed a number and spoke as soon as it was answered, "I want all the information you can get on Enya Potter in the mundane world. Do it as soon as possible."
"Any particular reason?" Lulu Bell asked from her end.
"I believe that I may have found our Enya's reincarnation," The Earl informed her, "Don't tell anyone until you have everything you can get, we'll need to be careful,"
"Of course, Earl," Lulu Bell told him, "But do you think it's a good idea to hide this from Tyki?"
The Earl frowned at the question, but answered, "I need to be sure. If it's not, Tyki will only be angrier at me."
"Alright," Lulu Bell hung up after that.
The Earl put his phone away as he saw Enya walk out of the door. He murmured under his breath, "I hope it's you, Enya."
Enya headed upstairs to her poor excuse of a room with Hedwig's cage in hand and her hidden bag of goodies in her pocket. While it was slightly depressing that Vernon had immediatly shoved her trunk into the cupboard along with her fake wand after confiscating it, Enya didn't mind it as she had everything she needed in her bag of goodies. Entering her room, Enya placed Hedwig's cage onto the desk and ran her fingers over the owl's breast, "It'll be a long two weeks, Hedwig."
The owl hooted and Enya got the impression that Hedwig was agreeing with her. Enya wasn't surprised to find Vernon walking into her room, "Freak."
"Vernon," Enya replied making the man glare at her, 'Ah the pitiful gaze of a walrus, I missed it during my time at Hogwarts,'
"You'll do the chores that your Aunt assigns you and keep tat ruddy bird silent this year," Vernon ordered her, "I will not have you ruining anything during these next two weeks. It's my most important two weeks as my company is under consideration for quite a few deals,"
"Of course, Vernon," Enya would've rolled her eyes if it hadn't been for the fact she didn't feel like getting slapped by Vernon, "I wouldn't dream of it,"
Vernon's glare increased as his skin began to purple. Enya wondered how it was possible to go straight past red to purple, but then stopped because she realized it was Vernon. If the man could look like someone had tried to cross a human with a walrus, he could damn well turn purple. Vernon took a step forward, "I'm serious, Girl. You will do as I say or you will be receiving no food for a week."
Enya refrained from offering him a sarcastic comment for now. She didn't feel like letting the walrus make her head hurt worse, "I won't. I have no reason to do that since I'm leaving in two weeks. How about we do the easy thing and pretend neither of us exist? It worked out amazingly last year."
Vernon opened his mouth before closing it and turning, "No dinner for you tonight."
"I wasn't hungry anyway," Enya watched him leave before she walked over to her poor excuse of a bed and laid down, "This is definitely going to be a long two weeks,"
And that finishes this chapter. I would've made it longer, but I'm a bit too excited to get it out. I am looking for a Beta if anyone wants to do it!
