Chapter Four: The Arrival

It had been hours since they had left the Chang residence. The sun was nearly risen and Harry was exhausted. He wasn't the only one either. Akira had fallen asleep and was resting her head on her brother's shoulder. Tai looked tired as well, but was doing his best not to give into temptation of falling asleep.

"We're here." Sirius said at last.

They slowed down and landed nicely on the earth.

"Aki, wake up." Tai said quietly.

"Mmmm…no…five more hours…" Akira replied groggily.

"When we get inside you can sleep for five days for all I care, just get up, we're here!" Tai said, roughly shaking her awake.

"Alright! Fine! I'm up ok?" Akira said annoyed, opening her eyes.

"Good." Tai said, with a look of great satisfaction on his face.

"Welcome." Said an oddly familiar voice.

Harry's eyes widened.

"Professor Lupin?" He questioned.

"Yes Harry. It's me. Sirius has been staying with me since he's gotten free. He plans to make it a permanent home…now all of you must be exhausted. Come inside, we'll have a cup of tea. With tea bags…and if you're still tired, you're welcome to sleep as long as you need to. Nobody knows we're here. Except Dumbledore." Lupin replied.

They all walked inside and sat in some comfortable armchairs. Lupin went into the kitchen and returned with tea minutes later.

"So, what's going on?" Lupin asked.

"It's not good, Remus…the prophecy…it's started…" Sirius replied.

"Ah…I see…who is Cimorene's descendant?" Lupin asked.

"Cho Chang." Sirius replied.

"Our sister." Said Tai and Akira.

"Hmmm…I see…when does she turn sixteen?" Lupin questioned.

"This Halloween." Replied Tai and Akira.

"Ninety-two days…When you return to Hogwarts this year, be aware of your surroundings…be aware of those you know." Lupin instructed.

The five of them drank their tea in silence.

"Professor, when is the next full moon?" Harry asked suddenly.

"The next full moon? In four days." Lupin replied.

"In four days, hopefully, we can get Cho back." Tai said, catching on.

"But it needs to be raining…" Akira noted.

"A storm is on its way according to the WWS." Lupin said.

"The what?" asked Akira, Tai, and Harry.

"The Wizarding Weather Station." Lupin explained.

"Oh…" the three said.

"Now we need a plan when we rescue Cho." Sirius said.

"Right." Said the others.

"Now, who has any ideas?" Sirius asked.

Meanwhile in a tiny cell, Cho sat on her knees, her arms still bound behind her back.

"Do you know who I am?" asked the woman.

"No." replied Cho softly.

"I am your opposite." The girl answered.

"My opposite? Hah! Nonsense!" Cho snorted.

The girl pulled out a whip and struck Cho's back. Cho winced in pain as she felt blood trickling down her spine.

"I never lie. Learn your lessons now before they must be taught." The girl said angrily.

The girl left the tiny room and shut the door. Her footsteps faded as she walked down the hall.

"Harry, where are you?" Cho whispered weakly. "I need you…I need help…help me…"

Then she fell asleep. Back at Lupin's home, Harry heard Cho's cry.

"She's hurt." He said aloud.

"What? Who's hurt?" asked Sirius and Lupin.

"Cho. She was calling for help. Didn't you hear her? She's hurt." Harry replied.

"Telepathy…" muttered Tai, Sirius, and Lupin.

"What?" asked Akira and Harry.

"The prophecy says that when the angel of light is in danger she will contact the one that she is in love with through her mind. When the telepathy is just developing, she doesn't know that's she's talking to you through telepathy. You can learn how to use it as well…we'll just have to teach you." Tai said.

"Not to be rude or anything, but um…telepathy? It sounds a bit far-fetched, doesn't it? I mean that really doesn't exist does it?" Akira asked, trying to control her giggles.

Lupin went to a bookshelf and pulled a book from it. He tossed the book at her. Akira ducked and squealed.

"What're doing? Trying to kill me?" Akira asked.

"No of course not…just pick up that book there and read it. Educate yourself." Lupin replied.

"Alright…" Akira sighed.

She picked up the fallen book and seated herself in a lounge chair and was soon completely absorbed in the book.

"While Akira occupies herself, let's go upstairs and discuss this prophecy completely and this telepathy…" Lupin whispered.

Tai, Sirius, Harry, and Lupin went upstairs quietly.

They explained the entire prophecy to Harry, word by word. Finally they were finishing up. But Lupin heaved a heavy sigh.

"What?" asked Harry.

"I know you hate Divination, Harry. But we need to do some serious Divination work…we haven't got any idea where Cho is, so you must find her.

"Harry…help me!" Harry heard in his head.

"She's talking again," Harry said. "She wants me to help her."

"Ok, Harry, direct your thoughts to Cho. She'll hear them. And she'll answer." Tai instructed.

"Ok…" Harry sighed.

'Cho, can you hear me?' Harry said in his head.

'Harry! Please, you must help me!' replied Cho.

'How? How can I help? Where are you?' Harry asked.

'I don't exactly know where I am…but I have a small hole in the wall and I can see outside.'

'What do you see?'

'I see trees. Very tall trees. It must be a forest or something…I keep looking around and I keep seeing trees…and then stumps of trees…wait a minute! This looks familiar! Harry! I'm being held captive where Draco's father tried to lock us up! I'm in one of the rooms!'

'Thanks, Cho. We'll get there as soon as we can…what does your captor look like?'

'I don't know…She keeps her hood up…and her face is so darkly shadowed, you'd think she was faceless, or a dementor or something…'

'Thanks.'

'Oh no! I can't talk to you any longer! She's come back! Harry, please hurry…'

Then he could hear Cho screaming. He turned to Tai, Lupin, and Sirius.

"So…" said Tai.

"Did you get any useful information?" asked Sirius.

"Yeah. Her exact location." Harry said.

"Where is she?" Tai asked quickly, running halfway down the stairs.

"We can't leave yet. And you won't know where she is even if I tell you. Lupin and Sirius know, though." Harry replied.

"Where is she Harry?" Lupin asked.

"You know, last year, how we went to that place in the Forbidden Forest, with that fortress or whatever it was? Well Cho is there." Harry answered.

"We will leave at noon tomorrow," Lupin decided. "We need time to pack and rest, as well as eat. The journey will take quite a while…It's a long flight. Longer than your flight from Cho, Akira, and Tai's parent's house to my home."

"I understand." Said Tai and Harry.

"Get Akira. Tell her to stop reading, if she isn't done with that book…and have her rest." Sirius said.

Tai walked down the stairs going to tell Akira to stop reading, but when he got downstairs, Akira was asleep, her head resting in the middle of the book. Tai gently placed a bookmark on the page and put the book away and got out a blanket and a pillow. He lifted Akira to the couch and put the pillow under her head, and pulled the blanket up just under her chin.

Harry had come down now and was yawning and stretching.

"Go to sleep, Harry. You're tired. Honestly, you are. It's pretty obvious." Tai said.

"Fine…fine…why don't you go to sleep too?" Harry asked.

"I will. After you're asleep." Tai responded.

Harry gave up and sat in a reclining chair and quickly fell asleep.

"Good night, both of you…" Tai whispered.

He got comfortable on another chair and fell asleep. Shortly after, Lupin and Sirius came down to see the three of them sleeping.

Sirius was about to wake them up and tell them something when Lupin stopped him.

"Let them rest. They've learned things today that seem unbelievable. Let it sit in their minds as they rest, then they won't be afraid of it. Besides, they've had a long trip here. They need to rest. We'll discuss the matter tomorrow…We should get some rest ourselves, if we want to be able to function at top performance." Lupin said quietly.

Sirius silently agreed. Lupin conjured two more chairs and both of them sat in them and fell asleep in a few minutes.

The next morning was a nice day, but the sky was cloudy. Harry awoke, yawning and stretching. The scent of sausages and eggs met his nostrils and he washed up and brushed his teeth with a new toothbrush that he noticed wasn't there the previous day. Harry walked into the kitchen and saw Akira sitting at the table sipping tea, her eyes swollen and red, possibly from crying. She had bed hair and Tai was affectionately patting his younger sister's shoulder. Lupin and Sirius were at the stove cooking and putting food on plates, paying no notice to Harry whatsoever.

"What happened?" Harry asked, startling all of them.

"Well, good morning Harry…As you know, Kashya possesses Akira, well, while you three were asleep, Sirius and I read the scroll that explained the entire prophecy. I've already told Akira and Tai what is to happen while you were sleeping…It says that Akira has a weak heart and will give into the darkness, and if she devotes herself entirely to the darkness, she will gain so much power that she will be able to outstrip Cho's abilities. If this were to happen, Akira is a being of nothing but eternal darkness. Cho being the light, will have to destroy her. But because Akira would outstrip her in all abilities, Cho would fall and succumb to the darkness. Akira would torture her for the secrets to the light and how to get rid of it once and for all. Cho will eventually give away the information, and then Akira will drain Cho of all her magical powers. Cho would become a muggle, and Akira would be even more powerful than Voldemort. Akira would then kill Cho, because she would be completely useless. And Cho would never come back to you, Harry. Harry, you'd become depressed and you'd die too, because Cho means so much to you, and you can't live without her. Tai would attempt to destroy Akira, but he has his own unique powers, and Akira would show no mercy. She'd do the same she did with Cho to Tai. And then, Akira would kill everyone. Darkness would engulf Britain, and no one could stop it. No one could destroy Akira. She'd be invincible. And soon, her powers would spread across to other countries, and then, if would be the end of the world." Lupin explained.

Akira started crying again.

"I don't understand! How could I kill so many people? Including the one's I love! I could never kill my sister! Or Tai! Never! I should be in Slytherin! But I'm a Gryffindor…And I-" Akira sobbed, stopping short to burst into a fit of tears.

"That's awful." Harry said, not knowing what to say.

"Yes we know…you must help Akira strengthen her heart. If it is strong enough on the day she has to choose power over friendship, she will not do any harm. She will not kill anyone or hurt anyone in any sort of way." Lupin said.

Akira stopped sobbing, but silent tears trickled down her face.

"S-so I might n-not kill anyone or hurt them if I'm s-strong enough?" Akira asked, stuttering.

"Exactly. So don't worry, Akira…Now, breakfast is ready…after this we will need to supply items and put them in bags and we will need to rescue Cho. The time draws nearer. The clouds are drifting over the horizon. It can rain any day now, so be ready." Lupin replied.

Sirius put plates in front of everyone and they all ate, their minds elsewhere. They no longer were troubled of Akira's possible fate. They all were determined to bring Cho back, safe and sound.

As the hours went on, Lupin's cottage was in uproar, everyone was extremely busy preparing and packing things. But they managed to get everything done by noon. They all ate a quick lunch and each of them carried a bag on their back and grabbed a broom. They kicked off and took out enchanted compasses that they packed. The compasses were set to lead them to where Cho was being held captive by safest route. They all secured them to their broom handles and sped away.
