Chapter~ Twenty~Four: Birthday
Enya kept her eyes closed as Tyki got out of bed. She didn't bother moving as he briefly touched her arm. He chuckled softly and told her, "You do have to get up, Minha Raposa."
"Don't want to," Enya cracked open an emerald eye to peer at him, "Stay in bed with me?" She held out her arms, "Please,"
Tyki chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her. He pulled Enya into his lap and she buried her face in his neck. Tyki held her lightly as she laid against him, "I would love to ignore the world, but there is much to be done today."
Enya grimaced and muttered, "It's my birthday, can't I say fuck that?"
"If it was any other year, I would say yes," Tyki rubbed her back lightly, "Tomorrow, I have off, so we can spend as much time alone in here as you want,"
Enya thought about it before groaning, "Fine."
Tyki pushed her back slightly before cupping the back of her neck and pulling her into a heated kiss. A soft moan slipped out of her throat as his emotions practically caressed her own. A shiver ran down her spine as his other hand tugged lightly on one of her curls as his tongue slipped along the seam of her lips. Opening them, Enya felt her heart rate speed up as Tyki groaned softly. He finally pulled away after a few moments as a knock sounded on the door. Road's voice came from behind it, "Are you both awake yet?"
"Yes," Tyki replied while wrapping his arms around her.
The door opened and Enya mentally promised herself to ward it so that no one could enter unless given permission by her. Road poked her head inside and looked at the two before scowling, "Take a shower, you both need to come downstairs to eat a quick breakfast before helping to get everything ready for the party."
Enya's eyes narrowed at Road, "Isn't it my birthday?"
"Yes," Road returned the narrowed eyed gaze with one of her own, "But, you'll be the host of the party, so you need to be there when we get everything ready. I need to go wake up Allen and the others,"
Road disappeared and Enya slumped back against Tyki. She really didn't want to do anything today. Even during her visits to the Weasleys, she never did much for her birthday. Tyki seemed to sense where her thoughts were as he always did and said, "Think of it as Road attempting to make up for all your crappy birthdays."
Enya sighed deeply and got off of Tyki, "Fine, but next year won't be like this."
Tyki chuckled softly as Enya grabbed her clothes for the day and headed into the bathroom. No matter what, Road wouldn't be telling Enya to dress up for the damn party.
Sirius felt eager to see his goddaughter and couldn't stop bouncing around while checking his present for her. Remus just shook his head tiredly before taking a sip of his extra strong coffee and briefly checking his present for Enya.
Hermione checked her present for Enya while mentally preparing herself for scolding the pyromaniac for not contacting her. She was slightly worried about her parents as they too had been invited. They had agreed to go if only to meet more wizarding families.
Blaise looked at his mother as she prowled around. It would be interesting to see how Enya and his mother acted around each other. More so, it would be interesting to see how the Noah reacted to his mother. He smirked slightly while wondering how his Noah was doing.
The twins and Ginny shifted uneasily as their eldest siblings walked into the house. For some reason, the people with Enya had invited them to her birthday party and the whole family was going. They knew that Enya would probably kill Ronald at some point today with how much he was whining already. Oh, it was going to suck. Fleur walked in with her younger sister and Ginny wondered where Luna was before shaking her head. Luna would have found a way to Enya already.
Neville looked at his Grandmother as she sat across the table from him. She'd been invited with him to Enya's birthday party and something in him told Neville that it would be very interesting. He had a feeling something would happen and his head wasn't aching as badly as usual. He hoped that wasn't a bad sign.
Enya looked at Adam as he walked over with a piece of paper in hand. He handed it to her, "It's the guest list. We have already set everything up so that they'll be here at two."
Inclining her head as she took the paper, Enya glanced over it before freezing upon finding that the Weasleys would be coming. Freezing slightly, Enya took a deep breath before asking, "Why are all the Weasleys coming?"
"We need to root out the ones that will cause problems," Adam explained himself, "We need to make sure they understand what going up against us means,"
Enya groaned softly and muttered, "This is going to suck."
The air was warm with a gentle breeze blowing through the garden where a majority of the party would take place. Enya glanced over it before heading inside with a low sigh. She was looking forward to seeing everyone save for some of the Weasleys. As she passed Luna, the blonde began walking next to her and commented, "Dumbledore and his flock along with some of the Ministries wolf clothed flock are going to be playing a game with us."
Enya groaned softly. It was just what she needed. Not only would she have to deal with Ronald and Molly, she would have to deal with the other annoyances. Closing her eyes as sparks danced from her fingers, Enya asked, "Will the sheep that fancy themselves as wolves be joined by their alpha?"
Luna hummed a short tune and headed off to find Road. With a low chuckle, Enya headed towards the entrance room where Adam was waiting. She plopped down on the stairs and informed him, "Dumbledore, some of his goons, some aurors, and Madam Bones will be paying us a visit. I believe that Molly will have contacted Dumbledore upon receiving the invitation."
Adam looked at her and smirked, "I already know. I have given Madam Bones a formal invitation. She will be coming to see how you are and to make sure we're taking good care of you."
Enya shrugged lightly before asking, "When will they arrive?"
"Sheril will be bringing Sirius and Lupin along shortly," Adam chuckled softly, "Tyki refused for some reason,"
"Wisley really needs to stop playing with people," Enya paused to consider that before mentally shaking her head, "Perhaps just those connected to us. I really do not need Sirius hating Tyki,"
Sirius' arrival was signaled by a jubilant bark and Enya having to move out of the way as Sirius slipped on the tiles. Enya winced at the cracks that echoed from that and moved over to the now whining dog. She bent down and began running her golden coated fingers along his sides. Memories of healing came back rather quickly and she managed to heal his injuries, "You need to be careful on these floors, Siri. They're hard not to slip on."
"Unless you're Lulu Bell," Allen commented as he walked up, "What are you doing?"
"Healing his injuries," Enya answered him before saying, "Lulu Bell is both old enough and has enough experience that she won't slip on any surface. Sirius is not,"
Allen looked at the golden energy and said, "That doesn't look like magic."
"Phoenix healing energy," Enya informed him earning a curious whine from Sirius, "My secondary is a phoenix and I've gotten into contact with it. While I won't try transforming until midwinter at the least, I can use it's powers though they will be less powerful without my actual transformation being complete,"
"Why wait until Midwinter?" Remus asked as he walked up and peered down at Sirius.
Enya tried not shudder as Remus' emotional atmosphere hit her. While his memories may be locked away, they still left an imprint on his emotions that made her head hurt. She made a decision not to touch him unless necessary. Mentally pushing that away, Enya told Remus, "My forms are both magical beings and powerful at that though the kitsune is understated. The magic of both needs time to settle in order to work correctly lest I irreversibly cause damage to both my magical core and soul. Not to mention, it will take time to fully integrate the memories both will transfer over to me as I gain control of those forms," Enya paused as she focused a bit more heavily on Sirius' ribs which were still brittle from his time in Azkaban regardless of his years away from it, "It will also allow me time to fully get used to both forms and mentally prepare myself for the differences between the two."
A glance towards Remus revealed his shock and Enya felt a few new emotional atmospheres revealing the same emotion. A glance showed that it was Hermione, Blaise, and Neville. Returning her focus to Sirius, Enya figured that she'd have a lot of questions to deal with and it will not be a very pleasant questioning once Hermione got started. Enya felt Wisley's presence at the edge of her natural mental shields and immediatly sent out a tether that he picked up after a moment. Wisley's mental voice hadn't changed a bit over the years, "Enya?"
"Wisley, can you please get them to not question me," Enya didn't want to answer any of their questions until after the party, "I will make you one of my stronger headache remedies and a personal golem if you do,"
"You really don't feel like answering questions, do you?" The mind reading Noah let his amusement show and Enya forced her thoughts towards him earning a mental nod, "Alright,"
"Thank you," Enya mentally relaxed and cut the mental tether before focusing back on the physical front, "Sirius, you can get up, but it might be best for you to wait an hour before returning to human form. If you don't, you may end up snapping your ribs. I would suggest getting a better healer than me to look at them as they seem far more brittle than they should be. I understand that Azkaban was rough on you, but they shouldn't be that brittle,"
Sirius whined softly, but nodded. Enya slowly stood up and gripped Allen's shoulders as her legs almost gave out. Allen caught her and commented, "You're looking a bit pale."
"It happens when I don't heal people for a long period of time," Enya whispered as she closed her eyes briefly to center herself as the world tilted a little, "Since this is the first time I've healed anyone like that in this life, I'll need at least an hour to sit down and eat something,"
"Right," Allen looked at Adam, "I'm going to take her into the garden to sit down. Mind having a servant get her a snack,"
"Of course," Adam looked at her, "Would you like some dates or peaches?"
Enya thought about it as her mind went over what she'd eaten and drank in the past in this kind of situation. After a few moments, she decided, "A small bowl of mixed fruits with some cider."
"Of course," Adam inclined his head, "Go, I'll take over things here,"
Enya was munching on some strawberry pieces when Tyki walked over with wine glass in hand. Sirius was being distracted by Adam which was a small relief though Enya did want to talk to her father figure at some point today. Tyki looked at her in concern as he settled down, "How are you feeling?"
"Better," She was sitting on a rather comfortable bench underneath the shade of an oak tree, "I think I know some of who got reincarnated,"
"Oh?" He curled his arm around her waist and pulled her to lean against him.
Settling easily while shifting her glass of cider slightly, Enya told him, "Hermione is definitely Callista. Neville, I believe he is Dyain if only because of how similar they are and how easily Neville has managed to get Tryde to open up."
Tyki looked at the soft smile on the usually stoic and silent Noah as Neville spoke to the man. As a soft laugh left Tryde, Tyki smirked and nodded, "Yeah. Tryde only ever smiled like that at Dyain."
"Look at Lulu Bell and Blaise," Enya told him with a light smirk.
Tyki only needed to glance at the two to figure out what was going on. With a low chuckle at the obviously lustful gazes and how much physical contact was going on, Tyki knew that Lulu Bell had found Blake. Almost as if reading his mind, the two turned to look at Tyki and Blaise waved with a sultry smirk on his face. Tyki rolled his eyes and looked at Enya, "It would seem that all of the soulmates seem to gravitate around you just as they did before."
With a slight snort, Enya replied, "Three more will be coming. I won't be able to tell who is who until I feel their emotional atmospheres, but three of the Weasley's are definitely someone's soulmate."
Tyki leaned back, "It will be interesting."
The Weasleys arrived two hours after the rest of the guests much to the amusement of the Noah. It was clear to them that Molly had brought something through the wards that would bring Dumbledore and his sheep to the party. Adam greeted them with a kind smile, "Hello, you must be the Weasleys. I have to say that you arrived rather late."
"We had a hard time getting ready," Molly answered before the others could, "Now where is Enya?"
Enya was currently speaking with Blaise about his reincarnation experience when the group entered the garden. Blaise snickered softly at Ronald as Tyki appeared next to Enya, "I can't believe you were supposed to be betrothed to that."
"Thank Inari for Solaris," Enya grimaced upon seeing the redheaded wizard.
"Indeed," Blaise looked at Tyki, "I do hope I'm right in assuming you'll be ripping that boy to shreds, right?"
"Unfortunately, I am not allowed," Tyki wrapped his arms around Enya.
"A shame," Blaise shook his head lightly.
Enya snorted softly, "Careful Blaise, your sadism is showing."
Adam cleared his throat to draw their attention. Ginny and the twins were staring at Tyki in interest while Ronald looked like he'd swallowed something particularly nasty. Arthur merely offered Enya a soft smile while Charlie and Bill were looking at Tyki with slightly wide eyes. Molly looked like she wanted to kill Tyki though she did attempt to smile pleasantly. Enya beamed at the group while relaxing against Tyki, "A bit late, aren't you?"
"Molly was having trouble getting ready," Arthur explained softly, "How are you Enya?"
"Great," Enya truly liked the Weasley clan patriarch, "My friends here have certainly helped,"
"I heard about your relatives, Enya," Ronald spoke with what was probably an attempt to seem both charming and apologetic, "I am sorry for your loss,"
Enya refrained from snorting or lighting the boy on fire, "It is no true loss as they were never really family. My friends here and those that I made at Hogwarts are," A pointed look from Adam had her adding, "Thank you for the condolences though unneeded as they were."
Charlie coughed lightly to hid a snicker while Bill smirked. Bill looked at Tyki before asking Enya, "How did you meet Mr. Mikk, Enya?"
Tyki looked at Charlie and Bill in amusement as he answered, "Enya and I met earlier this summer when she was traveling with Allen."
Molly looked disapproving, "It is inappropriate for him to touch you, Dear. Where is your fiance?"
"Tyki is my fiance, Ms. Weasley," Enya sensed the shock flowing off of them and mentally cackled.
Enya wanted to get away from the conversation and Allen chose that moment to give her an escape. Enya grabbed Allen and said, "Allen, we should go check on the refreshments. Let's go do that."
Without waiting for a reply, Enya dragged Allen away leaving two thoroughly amused Noah and one reincarnation to deal with the shell-shocked Weasleys.
It didn't take very long for Dumbledore to arrive with his sheep. Enya had settled herself in between Nea and Allen. The other former order members were all either talking to the parents of Enya's friends or watching the Weasleys. The twins and Ginny had easily settled into conversation with the Noah clan members. When Dumbledore arrived, everyone save for the witches and wizards not in the know tensed. Dumbledore looked around before his eyes settled on Enya. Enya refrained from looking in his eyes while concentrating on her mental walls in just in case she made accidental eye-contact. Dumbledore made a beeline towards her, "My dear girl, do you realize how worrie-"
"Headmaster Dumbledore," Adam got in the way immediatly, "This is a rather odd surprise. I do not recall you being invited to the party were throwing for Enya,"
"Lord Millennium," Dumbledore paled slightly, "I-"
Adam smiled a nasty smile towards Dumbledore, "I do not mean to be rude, but you were not invited here. By the laws set down by the treaty your ministry made by my clan, you cannot be here unless invited. Seeing as I did not invite you, I am very curious as to why you dare to come here."
Enya blinked in surprise and looked at Allen. Allen quietly informed her, "He set that up after the war. It's to keep the governments from bothering us."
"Ah," Enya nodded before returning her attention to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore paled even more and cleared his throat as the sheep with him looked around nervously. The Noah present looked at the group of unwanted guests with smirks and dark intentions. Dumbledore coughed lightly, "Ah, yes. I merely wished to check on Ms. Potter as she has been missing since her relatives untimely demise."
Adam snorted softly while looking down at the wine glass in his hand, "I see, but that doesn't explain why you're here," Adam looked at Tryde, "Is there any law that states the headmaster of Hogwarts must check on a student during summer break should something happen to their family?"
"Not at all," Tryde answered in a cold tone, "They only have that ability if said student doesn't arrive during the school year,"
"I am her magical guardian," Dumbledore said before Tryde could say anything else.
Sirius snorted drawing attention to himself, "Dumbledore, I reclaimed my magical guardian title a week after Pettigrew was found alive and traitorous," Sirius glared at Dumbledore, "You were given that notice the day it happened."
Dumbledore looked like he was sweating, "Y-yes, but-"
"Ah!" Adam broke in with a wide grin, "Amelia Bones, I see that you've arrived. It has been a long time since we saw one another, has it not?"
The monocle wearing witch smiled slightly at Adam, "You were there when I took my office."
"What a great day for your community," Adam sighed and offered her an apologetic look, "I know that you're here to enjoy yourself, but perhaps you can help us. You see Mr. Dumbledore," Dumbledore twitched at that earning a muffled snicker from Enya and wide grins from everyone save for certain members of the Weasley clan, "Has come here today, but I didn't give him an invitation and none of my family has either. Could you perhaps have your guards remove him before my security does,"
"Of course," Amelia Bones nodded and turned to Dumbledore with a slight scowl, "Headmaster, please leave the premises before I have my men do it for you,"
Dumbledore and his sheep looked like they wanted to protest, but Dumbledore seemed to think better of it. Dumbledore's face was tight as he said, "No need. Come, we have no business here."
Enya took a moment to curse both Snape and Dumbledore as the two turned to leave. Enya almost jumped as Blaise spoke from behind her, "Nasty thing, aren't you?"
"They deserve what they're getting. Dumbledore will have much worse coming for him soon enough," Enya turned to scowl at him, "Did you have to appear like that?"
"I need to get used to having my powers at my disposal," Blaise replied with a smug look on his face, "You used to be so good at detecting people with your empathy,"
"Something that I will insure I regain," Enya's eyes narrowed at him, "You did something. Didn't you?"
"It won't be noticed until the Weasleys are home," Blaise waved his hand lightly with a smug smirk, "Dumbledore and that poor excuse for a teacher will find theirs rather shortly,"
Enya contemplated asking what he meant before shrugging it off. If it was interesting, Solaris would report it soon enough. Adam chose that moment to walk over with Amelia Bones. Adam smiled gently at Enya, "Enya, I would like you to meet Madam Amelia Bones. Madam Bones, I want you to meet Ms. Enya Potter."
"Madam Bones," Enya greeted her with a warm smile and held out her hand which the witch took with a light smile, "It is a pleasure to finally meet you and not on such a horrible occasion as our meeting last summer. How is Susan?"
"I can say the same, Ms. Potter," Amelia inclined her head, "My niece is doing very well. She has really taken to the defensive magic you helped her learn,"
Enya released Amelia's hand with a soft laugh, "Her curses are far better especially when it came to using them on male targets. I believe I heard several of her house mates complaining about being sore after some of our mock-duels."
"I'll have to test her on those," Amelia chuckled softly, "She did say you had a knack for fire magic,"
"I'm a pyromaniac and admit quite freely," Enya decided that she liked Amelia Bones and would take the time to get to know her niece upon returning to Hogwarts, "Please call me Enya when in these types of settings,"
Amelia's emotional atmosphere was briefly filled with shock before easing into a mixture of happiness and pleasure, "Of course, I do hope you might call me Amelia in return. I knew your mother well."
"I would love to hear your stories of her as Sirius and Remus tell so few," Enya sighed softly, "I assume that your visit isn't only for enjoying good company,"
"You are correct," Amelia's smile vanished, "I need to ask you a few questions alongside those you traveled with,"
Adam stepped in, "You can use the sun room for your conversation."
Amelia nodded as Allen and Nea stepped up beside Enya. They were followed by Daisya and Lavi. Lenalee showed up a few minutes afterward with Komui. While Enya had been expecting her brothers, the others were a rather surprising addition. They merely either smiled at her or grinned brightly before everyone in the group headed inside. Enya hoped that Amelia Bones didn't ask too many questions or the talk might be a bit unpleasant.
