Chapter Six
"Polarise!" I turned my head slightly and smiled upon seeing a blue haired girl run up.
"Hello Road," I greeted the teen as she reached me.
Road had purplish blue hair done up in spikes. She was wearing a punk-gothic lolita style dress. Her dark eyes glittered as she held a normal pink cane umbrella with the addition of a small jack-o-lantern on the tip. The head came alive and shouted, "Road let me go, Lero. We aren't supposed to be here, Lero!"
"Oh Lero be quiet," Road said before smiling at me, "Hi Polarise!"
"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" I asked causing her to shake her head.
"Nope!" She smiled in slight excitement, "It's spring break,"
I hum in acknowledgement and returned to my walk, "I see, but that doesn't explain why the two of you are here."
Road pouted at me and said, "I want to have fun, but no one is around to play with me."
"So you came to see me?" I asked with a raised eyebrow and was given a nod in return, "I see..."
"So can you play with me?" She asked causing me to chuckle and shake my head.
"Nope," She pouted at me, "I have to go get these," I held up the basket on my arm and shook it lightly causing a tinkling sound to be heard, "To the village up ahead,"
"What are they?" Ah the natural curiosity of a child even if said child is not actually a child.
"They're bells and crystal animals," I answer with a small smile.
"Are you going to sell them?" She asked causing me to nod, "Can I have one?"
"Sure though I didn't put any life in them," I said causing her to pout, "If you want, I'll make you a golem later,"
"Yay!" Road cheered and waved Lero around.
"Stop it, Lero!" Lero shouted causing both of us to giggle.
End of dream
I groaned as I woke up only to sit up when I noticed something missing from my bed. Winter was not laying beside me anymore. He was gone and the place he had laid was ice cold. I began to search for our connection and found it, but I couldn't open it enough to talk to him. I couldn't locate him either. The only thing I could feel were his emotions and that he was far away. Panic surged through me and I couldn't help but shout, "WINTER!"
With Winter some minutes before
The leopard watched as the Noah and Exorcists began to shout. It was rather odd to see them together after so many years of seeing them fighting. He quickly deduced that one of the exorcists based at Hogwarts, Krory or Daisya most likely, had sent a letter regarding Frost formally Polarise Walker. He sat comfortably in the shadows that dwelled in the room. A loud whistle made him wince before he looked at the source. It was one of the Noah, the 14th he guessed, as the man took his fingers from his mouth. One of the exorcists, the red haired bookman Lavi, shouted, "What the fuck?!"
"Will all of you quit arguing," The male glared at them causing most to flinch back, "You're all acting like children,"
"How are you not panicking about Polarise possibly being there?" The green haired girl, Lenalee, demanded.
He observed them silently before spotting the younger brother of his mistress. He noted that the younger sat near both the childish Noah of dreams, Road, and the odd Noah, Tyki Mikk. He silently stood up on and made his way over to the young boy he had grown fond of. The boy turned slightly and stared at him in shock as he butted his head lightly against the boys knee. The boy reached down as if to make sure he was real and ran a hand down his back. He arched against the boy silently as he watched the rest shout at each other. The Earl looked at the 14th with questioning eyes even as the dark haired male explained himself, "I know that she will be in danger from both Dumbledore and Voldemort, but I trust in Krory and the others to keep her safe until we are able to be there."
"What of her awakening?" The judge of the Noah, Toraido, asked, "She will be in a vulnerable state before and during the process,"
"She has Winter and I have no doubt she had gained her Innocence," The 14th explained, "Even if it won't harm anyone other than the corrupt and evil, it will act alongside her magic to protect her from things such as poison,"
"She may have Winter, but didn't Krory say that he didn't have his innocence?" Lenalee asked, "How can he protect her fully without it?"
"Ask him yourself," The 14th said before looking at Winter, "Winter it's been too long,"
He growled in agreement and stalked forward until he was staring into the eyes of the 14th. A look of understanding passed through the man's eyes before he reached inside of his pocket and pulled out a soft silver chain. The chained glowed brightly and wrenched itself from the man's grip before expanded as it broke apart. The pieces of chain hovered around his neck before connecting once more as it settled there. He growled softly again and the 14th chuckled as Lavi asked, "The fucking chain we found in the ark this morning was Winter's?"
"Yes his innocence takes the form a chain when not in his possession," The white haired boy explained causing him to nod silently, "It's how we found out that Winter was an accommodator," The boy looked at him, "You came to get the chain?" He nodded and growled softly, "Is Polarise okay?" He sighed and shrugged, "So she's okay, but not okay?" He nodded, "We'll get to her as soon as possible,"
"Allen how the hell do you understand him?" Lavi asked while the other people in the room nodded or voiced their own questions about it.
"Because I grew up with him being around me after Polarise and I met," Allen explained while absentmindedly scratching at the leopards ears, "I learned from her about interpreting what he does and putting it into words. She's a lot better than me, but then again she's really good at interpreting animals. Plus, they're connected due to him being her familiar,"
"So the Chibi is okay?" Lavi asked causing Allen to look at him.
"Yes and no," He said before looking down at Winter, "I-"
Winter suddenly felt panic rise in his bond with his master and realized that he had been gone too long. He yowled softly as the panic swept through him causing someone to shout, "What the fucks going on?!"
Allen looked at Winter and asked, "Winter what's going on?" He growled loudly in his panic, "Polarise noticed you weren't there and is currently panicking," He looked at Winter and said, "Go to her. We'll figure everything out and get there as soon as possible."
Winter nodded and disappeared in a plume of shadows.
With Frost
I gripped the cup that had been forced into my hands by Professor McGonagall. Hermione and my other dorm mates had been woken up by my panic just a few minutes ago. Hermione sent one of them to get the Professor while Hermione tried to get me to stop panicking. It was only after she slapped me in the face did I start to calm down. The Professor arrived moments later and now we were sitting in the Gryffindor common room. McGonagall was pacing in front of me and frowned as she looked at me, "When did you last see him?"
"Last night when I went to bed," I answer softly.
"Has he been acting weird lately?" She asked causing me to frown before nodding slightly.
"He's been sleeping a lot, but so have I," I answer causing her to look at me sharply, "Not to the extent he was sleeping, but I've been having trouble staying awake during classes," I shook my head, "Winter didn't get up at all during the last two days,"
"And why didn't you inform anyone of this happening?" She demanded causing me to shrink back slightly.
"I was going to do it today and I did tell someone," I flinched at the glare she directed towards me, "I'm sorry!"
"Ms. Potter has anything else occurred with your Familiar?" She asked causing me to shake my head, "Then I'm afraid we must wait until he returns to di-"
The Professor was cut off by a white form throwing itself out of the shadows. I felt the familiar warmth of Winter settle over me and cuddled my familiar in my arms. I buried my face in his fur as a soft whine left me. He growled in response and I felt his regret over our bond. I sent my forgiveness and hugged him tighter. When I finally had my emotions under control, I looked up and found everyone in the common room staring at us. I blink at them before looking at the Professor. I bit back a gulp as she glared down at Winter and said, "Ah Professor it looks like Winter's back."
"Yes, but where was he?" She asked causing me to shrug, "Ask him,"
I nodded before looking into the eyes of my familiar, "Where were you?"
He growled in response causing me to nod as the Professor asked, "Well?"
"He said that I would find out in time, but it had to do with a place both of us knew," I saw her twitch and shook my head lightly, "He was meeting old friends I guess and lost track of time,"
"I see," She glowered down at Winter, "Next time have him tell you if he's leaving. I would rather not be woken up early on a Saturday unless I must be," I nodded as Winter growled in agreement, "Good," She then looked around the common room, "I suggest you all either go back to sleep or get ready for the day,"
She left after that and I stared after her before looking at the twins, "Seeing as we've all been woken up early, let's gather the kids together and work on our plays."
The previous Saturday had been the Quidditch try-outs and needless to say I wanted to smack most of the kids there. I was pleased to note that Ginny was a marvelous Keeper. The twins stayed on a the Beaters though next year Seamus and Dean would be taking that position. The three chasers to replace the three that graduated were a mix of two third years and a fourth year. The two third years were twins named Alexander and Alexia. The fourth year was a girl by the name of Tessa Hark. The twins both had wavy dark brown hair and piercing grey eyes. They actually reminded me of Sirius in a way, but they had no relation to him being that their last name was Salvatore and both their parents came from Italy. Tessa had light auburn hair with a few streaks of blonde and purplish blue eyes. I absentmindedly ran a hand through Winter's fur as I greeted each of my teammates. All of them were yawning, but very eager to get started and I couldn't blame them. I smiled as the younger of the 3rd years, Alexander, asked, "So what are we gunna do Captain?"
"We're going to..." I began to outline what we were going to do the whole of the morning.
Hours later
I stretched against one of the trees and yawned softly as I watched my friends work on their wandless magic. Luna was in the lead with Hermione following quickly behind, but that was mostly due to me helping them during the summer. Daphne, Tracy, Hannah, and Susan were doing well at bringing their magic to the surface, but have yet to reach the level needed to actually use it. The twins were almost there, but only together could they actually use their wandless magic. Ginny was proving to be easy to teach, but her magic was barely responding to her. Neville and Blaise were doing incredibly well in their wandless magic training. The reason being that Neville had been unconsciously using his magic when he was tending to plants in order to keep them docile and promote growth. Blaise had been taught at a young age to use his magic wandlessly in case of one of his mothers suitors trying to kill him. It worked in our favor while his would be assassin's were given shitty luck. The boy was a power house when it came to manipulating the magic in his body to argument his limbs as well as any weapons he possessed. He just had trouble actually pushing the magic out of his body without a focus. In time, he would gain that control, but for now this was good. I noticed that the sun was slowly starting to go down meaning that dinner would soon be served. I sent out a quick burst of magic causing all of them to freeze and look at me with slightly wide eyes. I smirk at their wide eyes only to have my smirk turn into a grin as Tracy shouted, "Why the fuck did it just feel like I was being covered in something both hot and cold with something silky being dragged across my skin?"
I giggle softly at the description and answer, "I used a burst of my magic to stop you in your tracks."
"Why?" Hermione asked only for me to point at the setting sun.
"The sun's going down," I say as I jumped from the tree that I had climbed and landed gracefully on the ground below, "It's best if we get inside because I don't know about you, but I'm hungry,"
They quickly began to head towards the castle at the mention of food. I shook my head in amusement and followed after them. Winter followed me silently and brushed against my side as if to remind me that he was there. I noticed the necklace around his neck and wondered where he got it. It was oddly beautiful and for some reason it felt right to see him wear it. It was obviously important to him if he had gone to get it this morning. He looked up at me and cocked his head to the side as if to ask what I was thinking. I shook my head causing him to nod and we continued on our way up to the school from the hidden alcove of the lake we had chosen. We soon reached the school just as a wave of dizziness hit me. I managed to grab the great wooden front door as waves of it hit me. I struggled to keep myself standing as I waited for it to pass. I wanted to curse loudly since these waves of dizziness had been hitting me more frequently lately, but never had they hit me like this. I grit my teeth lightly only to feel a hand on my chin. I soon found myself looking into the concerned eyes of Neville as I struggled to keep from falling over. He spoke softly, "Frost. Are you okay?"
I wanted to nod, but settled for speaking verbally, "Yes. I'm just a little dizzy."
"Has this been happening a lot?" He demanded softly.
Due to the combination of my severe dizziness and the fact he only did such things when he was worried, I answered him truthfully, "Yes. They've been happening more frequently."
He nodded and turned slightly, "Blaise go get Madame Pomfrey. I'll get her to the hospital wing."
"Right," The Italian agreed as Neville picked me up.
Neville carried me towards the hospital wing as I struggled to keep my surroundings clear. A deep, almost physical pressure seemed to settle on my head. Neville's slightly jolting gate was enough to keep me from completely losing my surroundings. I heard a door open and was soon greeted with the scent of the hospital wing. It caused my stomach to revolt at the very scent of it and I gagged slightly. Neville was quick to settle me onto a bed and stood next to me, "Frost Madame Pomfrey will be able to help you."
"I hope so," I mutter under my breath as Winter appeared, "Winter,"
"Frost why didn't you tell us this was happening?" Neville demanded while looking worried.
His face was slightly blurry, but I could still see his eyes clearly. They shown with worry that extended as far as the eye could see. With a deep sigh, I answered him, "I've been alone Neville. Before I met any of you, before I had Winter, I was alone. I learned how to survive by hiding when I was hurt, when I was sick, when I was sad, I learned it all," I closed my eyes lightly, "Even now, I struggle with myself to even tell you guys when I think you're doing something wrong. I'm so scared of losing you that I keep closing myself off. I don't want to do it, but the habit..." I shook my head lightly and tried to ignore the tiredness slowly seeping into me as I opened my eyes, "The habit's hard to break."
He looked down at me with sullen eyes, "I know Frost, but I wish you would tell us."
"I know Nev," I murmured softly just as the door opened and an irritated nurse walked in with Blaise trailing behind, "I know,"
"Ms. Potter," The nurse gasped softly as she caught sight of me, "What happened to you?"
I look at her in numbed confusion as sleep tugged at me, "I got dizzy."
"Dizzy?" She gaped at me, "W-at do -ou me-n d-z-?"
I look at her funny at the disjointed sentence, "What did you ask Madame Pomfrey?"
She opened her mouth, "W-t - -u -an -zy?"
It felt like cotton was being pressed against my ears and inside of them as her words became even more disjointed. I shook my head as she opened her mouth. My vision became truly blurry before finally dying as my eyes closed. I felt a numb sort of panic settle over me as a shout echoed around me, "Frost!"
I struggled slightly, but soon lost to the wispy strands of darkness that were creeping towards me. I fell into a deep sleep while no longer caring about anything around me. I was too tired to care anymore and the darkness was too comforting for me to want to leave it.
With everyone around Frost
Madame Pomfrey cursed as she saw the girl fall unconscious. Her skin was visibly turning to an ashy color that was probably not healthy. She quickly went to her cabinets and grabbed a group of potions from it. She returned to the girl and began to run a diagnostic scan as she demanded of the boys standing nearby, "How long has this been going on?"
"Frost didn't tell us," Neville explained, "We didn't even notice that anything was wrong until a few days ago,"
"We thought she was just a little under the weather or had overworked herself," Blaise added while giving the mediwitch a small frown, "If we had known it was this bad, we would have taken her here immediately,"
"I see," Madame Pomfrey muttered before looking over the information the diagnostic scan brought and gasped in surprise.
"What's wrong with her, Madame Pomfrey? Neville asked the Mediwitch.
"Ms. Potter is going through an early magical inheritance," The Mediwitch answered.
"Will she be okay?" Neville asked her worriedly.
"She should be okay, but the nature of this inheritance is one that I'm not clear on," She looked over the information again, "I do not know what is happening to her other than it being an inheritance of some kind. I do not know when she shall be finished with it. I do not know when she'll awaken," She looked at the despondent duo, "I can however tell you that she'll be okay," Both perk up at that, "She'll no doubt be a lot healthier than she has been and will be stronger,"
"Will you keep us posted with her?" Blaise asked, "We're here friends, hell we're almost family," He shook his head, "Can you keep us posted?"
"I suppose," The Mediwitch agreed, "Now leave so I can deal with my patient,"
The two left with quite a few backwards glances towards the unconscious girl. She shook her head and went to work on the girl while silently wishing she knew how to help her. She could only provide the barest amount of care to her because the magic in her body would reject almost all forms of treatment. She glanced to the potions she had grabbed and spotted the nutrition potion. She picked it up while silently thanking god that this was one of the potions that could work during inheritances.
With Daisya and the others based at Hogwarts
They were sitting with the Headmaster in the mans office due to the letter the Earl had sent. Daisya was bored of the old man trying to manipulate the situation in his favor. Dumbledore had spent the last 3 hours trying to debate where everyone was going to be roomed, the food situation, the patrols, and the like. It was honestly driving him up the wall. Just then, a spectral cat appeared and spoke in the deputy headmistress's voice, "Frost Potter collapsed in the entrance hall and was taken to the infirmary."
The cat disappeared without another word and the Headmaster stood up, "Excuse me gentlemen, but I sho-"
"Headmaster we shall accompany you," Krory said as he stood with the rest of them, "Frost is the Girl-Who-Lived and the one that you said was of the utmost important to watch over. We will accompany you to make sure she has not been harmed,"
Dumbledore growled under his breath, but nodded as he moved towards the door. He hated it when the Earl's people were around. They were the only ones that wouldn't listen to a word he said unless they already knew it was either true or false. He hated it, but due to the crisis with Voldemort, he had to resort to using that favor the Earl owed him. Damn it all to hell. He wanted to spend enough time alone with the girl to look through her memories of the summer and find evidence to take her from Black. He needed his pawn to be malleable if he wanted to win against the monstrous beast of a wizard. Damn the Earl and damn his people for taking away his chance.
With the Noah
Multiple heads shot up as bodies froze where they stood. The people around them looked at the group in concern. Lavi, who was standing next to Allen, asked, "What's going on?"
"Polarise is awakening," Allen answered softly as a smile appeared on his face, "She'll most likely be awake by the time we are able to get there,"
"We must hurry," The Earl said with a frown on his face, "She is at her most vulnerable right now,"
"What do you mean?" Lenalee asked causing Road to turn to her.
Road's face was unusually serious as she said, "Because her inner Noah and her magic will be trying to find a balance between each other. It will be a full on war due to her innocence if she has it," Road noticed the slight horror and confusion on the faces around her, "All Noah's come from a magical background even if we don't have magical parents. It's one of the reasons we can control dark matter," Road closed her eyes, "Polarise's mind will be trying to assimilate the memories she had in her past life. Her dark matter will also be trying to open up parts of her magical control that lay dormant. It will most likely shatter any bindings on her which will cause an immense amount of pain. Due to this, she will be in an almost completely vulnerable state and unable to protect herself from outside sources."
"Shit," Many winced at hearing what's going to happen.
"Hey Road," Allen said causing the girl to look at him, "Will her being an animagus effect anything?"
"It might," Road shrugged her shoulders, "It mostly depends on what her animal form is. We'll find out later, but for now," She looked at everyone, "Let's pack up!"
Nods were given and people began to rush around to pack some items away. While they would always have access to the ark, it was best that Dumbledore didn't know where it was nor how to get inside. Tyki detached himself from the group and made his way through the ark. He quickly reached his room, but paused just outside the door to look at the one across from his. The door was a bright splash of dark blue with star shaped white spots and black wisps. His fingers itched to open the door while half hoping that she was behind it and that everything had been a dream, but he knew it was real. He shook himself as he went inside his room and sat down on his large bed. He pulled the two necklaces from their places on his person and fingered the amethyst kitsune. He vaguely wondered what she would say about all the panicking everyone was doing. He snorted as he realized she would most likely laugh and say "Hey I can actually cause chaos without being there!" She would most likely throw herself across his lap and look at him with those mischievous eyes of hers, "Did you panic? Tyki?"
He sighed softly as he felt a pang in his chest. His fingers closed around the kitsune and he murmured, "Come back to us soon Polarise."
