Thanks for the reviews guys, I'm working on my grammer etc. but I'm just not really good at those things, I just love to write. I'm sorry this chapter is a bit weak, but I have been having some health problems, so I had to work around two foot surgeries and a whole bunch of other crap. I hate those kinds of weeks, don't you? Well I hope you enjoyed your Holiday, and thanks for the wonderful reviews as gifts, they were the best things I got this year. Anyways, enjoy, and please don't forget to review.
The next day angel woke up early, and the rest of his dorm mates were still asleep. He crawled out of bed yawning, wandered over to the boy's bathrooms in a haze, took as shower, threw on some clothes, and headed to the great hall.
As he exited the dorms, and headed down the corridor something stopped him, voices! He ducked into a doorway and waited for the people to pass, he had no idea why he was doing this though. He soon found out.
It was Kaylee and Jenna; they were heading out for their usual morning training. He longed to join them, to be back with his real family, but he resisted. He decided to simply keep them on their toes instead.
With a quick movement he removed a single black feather from his pocket, he had picked it up one day when he was flying and it fell out of his wing, conjured a piece of parchment, wrote a quick note and attached it to the feather. He then used a wandless spell to send it flying straight at the back of Kaylee's head. He sniggered, concentrated on his power and disappeared.
Kaylee yelled as something hit her hard on the back of her head, she whirled, looking for an assailant, but there was none. Jenna, seeing her sister's reaction looked around too, and she saw a feather and a note, and started laughing.
"Wow Kay, it's the attack of the evil feather and his buddy, the parchment. They're coming to take over the world, and beat Kaylee up as well!" Jenna crackled; she could be rather strange at times.
Kaylee growled, muttered something rather nasty under her breath and bent down to get the paper.
"It's probably some dorky guy who wants to ask you out and is too chicken to say it to your face," Jenna babbled, ignoring the looks she was receiving from her sister.
"Shut the fuck up," Kaylee snarled as she unfolded the parchment.
"Awww, ittle Kayway is embawased, how cwute," Jenna said in a babyish voice, doing a very good impression of Bella Lestrange, which was very creepy.
Kaylee swung as fist at her sister which was easily side-stepped. She then read over the letter,
Dear Freya and Creide
Please tell Aidan and Bastet I must have a conference with them A.S.A.P, I'm sure with the clue I left, you can figure out who I am, we'll meet in The Room of Requirement at 9:00 tonight, don't be late. Feel free to bring along everyone, except the OOTP or Dumbledore. This is of the utmost secrecy. I trust you two.
"It must have been that boy, from the other night; you know the one we heard about with the wings. I wish we weren't all on guard duty that night so we could have seen him arrive, it must have been some sight," Jenna sighed, imagining some mysterious, not to mention hot, teen boy flying through the doors of Hogwarts. Little did she know she was thinking all sorts of bad thoughts about her brother.
"Yeah, I wish I could feel his wings, they must be so soft," Kaylee said, wondering if they felt like duck feathers or crow feathers, or neither.
"I don't know, I really don't know," Jenna answered, starting to walk back down the hall.
Kaylee stood there for another second pondering, "hey wait up!"
Angel grinned, wishing he could have gotten a picture of Kaylee's reaction, it'd make a great Christmas card, or blackmail of curse.
He shook his head and sat down at the Ravenclaw table, waiting for Luna to come. He grabbed some food and began stuffing his face as most males do when they see anything edible, and thought about how easy the curriculum would be this year, since he was fully trained and qualified already.
About ten minutes later Luna arrived, and sat down with a sigh next to Angel.
"Sleep well?" Angel asked.
"Not really," Luna yawned, "I miss my mattress, this one's too fluffy."
"I know what you mean," Angel replied, and their pointless chatter continued through breakfast until it was time for their first class, Charms.
Angel grabbed a seat next to Luna; the room was quickly filling up with half-asleep students. Their class was a double with Slytherin, nothing the Ravenclaws couldn't handle. The Ravenclaws respected the Slytherins cunning and manipulation skills, while the Slytherins respected the Ravenclaws knowledge and study skills.
They respected each other's differences; but this didn't mean they got along though. The Slytherins were probably the most civil to Ravenclaws though, they despised Gryffindor, and treated Hufflepuffs like dirt. They still thought highly of themselves, but knew they were out-brained by the over-achieving Ravenclaws.
The class was boring, just review from the previous year, or so Luna said. (Angel faked his age, pretending he was fifteen instead of sixteen so he could be with Luna) Angel hadn't attended any of the classes last year, so he didn't know exactly what level they were on. Right now they were practicing Summoning and Banishing Charms.
Meanwhile, there was a meeting going on about this new student Angel.
"I don't like him," James Potter pouted childishly; "there's something off about him."
"I know honey, let's just hear what Albus has to say," Lily Potter smiled slightly at her husband's impatience.
"Now, James, what is it that is bothering you?" Dumbledore asked as he sat down at his desk, he had been refilling his dish of candies, "lemon drop?"
"No thank you Albus, I'm watching my figure," Lily said, declining the sweet, though James took a handful and shoved them in his mouth without another thought. It took him a minute to swallow the candies, so Albus and Lily caught up on news.
"Tyler is doing so well at those special lessons," Lily gushed, "he's going to be a great warrior." Lily knew better though, she knew Tyler was slacking, but she would never say such a thing about her favorite, and in her book, only son.
Dumbledore knew better as well, he chose not to address Lily's lie though, "that's great, how are you holding up though?"
"What do you mean?" Lily asked.
"Well, you found out last year your son, who was supposed to be dead, was really alive the whole time and trained by the greatest warrior of all time, and then died again. That would bother me a bit, that is, if he was my son, of course."
"Oh, that, I'm taking it fine, I didn't know him, so he really was a compete stranger. I couldn't care more about what happened to him. I guess it's a good thing he's dead though. That means Tyler is really the Chosen One, right? There is no other option except that Longbottom boy who is almost a Squib. He's really a disgrace to the Longbottom name, his parents were such powerful and outstanding aurrors, and it's too bad their talent wasn't passed down to their son, he'd have been a great asset to the war effort." Lily rambled on as Dumbledore's mind drifted.
'Was Tyler really the Chosen One? He wasn't extraordinary, he wasn't special, and he wasn't all powerful, he was just normal. He was freakishly normal in Dumbledore's opinion. The boy never showed any signs of magical maturation, he didn't inherit any super powers or get a boost of raw magic, which is sometimes the case when a Wizard or Witch reaches the age of sixteen.' He sighed, running a hand through his white beard.
"Well, we think this Angel kid could be a threat to the children, and Tyler as well. Ty-Ty had told us that over the summer he and a few friends were visiting Bridgeport, you know the magical town a few miles outside of London, and he ran into this Angel character and Luna Lovegood, and some strange girl who looked a few years older than the rest of them. He mentioned something like she had bright pink hair or something, but it seems they threatened him and then 'Angel' flew off with the two girls under his arms. They resisted arrest and escaped the aurrors that were stationed with Tyler at the time. I don't like it one bit Albus," James ranted, he really was dumb when you think about it.
Dumbledore sighed again. Leaning back into his sickeningly colorful flowery chair, this wasn't turning out to be a good day.
"I wasn't aware Sirius had any children," Dumbledore remarked.
"Neither were we, it's a shame that bastard procreated, now we're all doomed," James snarled, being the insolent prick everyone thought he was and said behind his back.
"Well, we must not jump to conclusions here. He may just be here to learn, you never know." Dumbledore tried to reason, but Lily cut in.
"I saw he was extremely close to Lovegood, but with a bit of digging I learned that she is a very strange and deranged little girl. She has no real friends, her housemates hate her with a passion, and everyone keeps their distance so not to catch the 'crazy-germ.' I don't see how those two have any relation to each other." Lily shook her head, clearly baffled.
"Well, as you are well aware, her father runs the magazine, 'The Quibbler," at this James snorted. "And you are aware he prints false information for the Order of the Wolf, correct?" Lily and James nodded, they had heard about all of this at an Order of the Pheonix meeting. "Well, from what I heave heard, Mr. Lovegood and his daughter were threatened by the Deatheaters earlier this summer, and Luna suddenly disappeared. There were no traveling records, no appreciation, no port-keys, no floo, nothing. I believe she may have been at the Wolves headquarters all summer for her protection." Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at the Potter's expressions.
"You mean that little girl knows where The Wolves are?" James asked.
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean," Dumbledore said with a small smile.
"Do you think we could get a hold of the information?" Lily asked.
"No, I believe James saw what this 'Angel' is capable of," at this James blushed slightly, "I think he was sent to take care and protect Ms. Lovegood. I think there is also more than a friendship between them as well. I could feel a strong bond between them, too strong for teenagers to have normally with their raging hormones and such. They have an unbreakable bond of some sort; I'm thinking a soul-mate? If that is the case, the information is next to impossible to get a hold of." Dumbledore finished up with a shrug, "it's too dangerous to try to extract the information from her. If it's anyone, it'll have to be Angel."
Lily and James nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly with what Dumbledore was saying, they would follow the man blindly wherever he went, even if it meant going against what they believe.
"Wow, that was enlightening," Angel said sarcastically as they exited the Charms classroom.
Luna giggled, "it was your idea to attend Hogwarts, now you have to live with the consequences bird-boy."
"No, you have to live with the consequences my dear bird-girl," Angel shot back, grabbing Luna around the waist and throwing her over his shoulder, ignoring her squealing and the extremely odd looks they were receiving.
"EEK! Put me down you feather-brained fiend!" Luna screeched playfully, kicking her feet.
"Never you lovely bird-brained girl, I'm madly in love with you and will carry you away to my nest, where we will eat worms and grubs and be merry!" Angel cried, as if he rehearsed this a hundred times, when it was actually coming right off the top of his head.
"I shall jump from your nest!" Luna giggled.
"And I shall jump after you and we shall fall to our grisly deaths together," Angel shot back without a second thought.
"And I shall use you as a cushion to break my fall!" Luna said, again trying to free herself from Angel's grip.
"And I shall allow you, because you deserve the world, or at least a comfortable pillow to land on," Angel said as he placed Luna back on her feet, a smirk playing across his face.
"Fine, fly-boy, now let's get to class before we're late," Luna said, grabbing Angel's hand and dragging him after her, everyone clearing a path for the psychotic couple.
From a distance two pairs of eyes looked upon this exchange with interest, they belonged to Gavin and Carla.
"It's cute," Carla commented, "it reminds me of us when we were younger. Hot, young, alive, passionate, romantic, spontaneous, those were the good days." Carla sighed, so Gavin did the only thing he could think of, he kissed her right there in front of all those people.
"Welllllll, that'll have to do," Carla smiled as they broke apart, just as Kaylee approached.
"Gross, eew, gross, please, please never ever do that again, now I'll have to go scrub my eyes out with soap. Anyways, there's a letter for you two.' Kaylee said, handing it to Gavin.
"Yeah, it attacked Kaylee," Jenna said, walking up from behind Kaylee.
At Carla's look she smiled, "well maybe attacked isn't the right word, humiliated, that's better. It humiliated Kaylee, and gave her a pretty goose egg on the back of her head. This also came with it." Jenna handed Carla the feather.
As Carla held the feather, her eyes widened in astonishment, "that boy, Nagel, he's the one who sent it, right?"
"Yeah, I think so,' Kaylee answered, "But I'm not sure, I guess we'll find out tonight, won't we?"
"Yeah, I guess we will," Carla answered, meanwhile Gavin was still staring at the letter, he could recognize that writing from anywhere, this meeting would prove to be interesting.
8:45 rolled around and Angel snuck out of the library, the curfew was 10:00 since it was Friday, and he had decided to get some extra studying in. He was reading up on ancient spells, some which were dark, some light, but in Angel's opinion they were the same. Nothing was black and white, nothing was clean cut. The world was made up of grays and blurred lines, nothing was good, and nothing was evil.
He looked around before sneaking into an unused classroom and concentrating on his power. He disappeared and re-appeared in a corridor, the one which contained the Room of Requirement. He walked down the hall and smiled, seeing the door already there. It was just like his family to arrive early to gain the upper hand.
As he walked in, all wands and swords were pointed at him, well except Aidan's. He was smiling widely, and threw his arms out for a hug.
"Hey Gavin."
Yay, another chapter complete! Next time, we get to see how Angel's family reacts to the new him and newfound abilities, as well as seeing Kaylee beat Angel up for making her worry! Hugs to all, please don't forget to review!Have a very happy New Year!
