The Ancients Revival

Chapter Nineteen

Julia sighed from her spot on her bed, her stereo system was blasting again, right now playing 'Wolf moon by Type O Negative.

Her thoughts drifted back to the last couple days. She had stayed the night with her sister at the hospital and they had gotten talking about what they could do. They had to learn more about Lord Voldemort, witch meant Emma had to continue the Occlumency. Emma had left to head back to school this morning, after begging Julia to return with her, but Julia had stated that it was too early for her return. She wanted to stay home for a while yet.

Julia sighed and closed her eyes concentrating on Draco at school, "Hun you there?" she called out. She doesn't get a reply right away and guesses he's in class. She starts to fall asleep when she hears Draco calling out to her.

"Yea, what's up?"

A smile appears on her face even though he can't see it, "nothing much, kind of bored!"

"Right, just not bored enough to come back to school to see me right?" Draco asks.

Julia giggles to herself, 'You got that right!"

"I saw Emma when she got back, I was kind of hoping you would return with her, I miss you, but I know you need to deal with some things right now!" Draco says.

"I'll be back, just not yet, I need more time. Things are just kind of confusing right now. I'm worried about dad; I want to go see him!" Julia replies.

"You know they are not going to let you see him, and that he isn't going to want you to come see him." Draco answers.

Julia gets up off the bed and starts to pace getting kind of mad, "Yea I know but its not fair" Julia starts waving one of her hands around.

As she does so it's like this energy leaves her hand and floats away from it into her room, sending everything in it flying every which way. She opens her mouth to speak again before she notices what has happened in her room. All Draco hears in a little gasp.

"Hey is something wrong over there?" he asks trying to get her to say something.

Julia is about to speak and answer him, she kind of waves her hand again and the room fixed itself, it looks like it had never been a miss before.

"Ummm no, I'm alright, I think, I just need to get out of this house. I need some fresh air, talk to you later." She replies breaking the link and snapping out of her room.

Emma sat with Hermione in her first class, since she got back from London, and it just happened to be potions. Her Uncle was talking about something or other but she wasn't really listening, though it seemed like he knew to leave her alone. Her thoughts kept going back to her mother in the hospital, and sometimes her father in Azkaban, not really believing still that she was there.

Emma hadn't noticed that the class was over until Snap called out to her "Miss Cardigan would you please stay after class so we can talk about what you missed?"

Emma looked up and nodded at her Uncle "Yes sir!" She answered staying her in seat as the class exited the room.

Snape went to the door and closed it as the last person left. He stood leaning on it watching Emma's back before speaking again as he walked towards her "How are you doing?"

Emma turned half way around in her seat to face him before speaking "As good as can be expected I guess Unc!' she sighs 'It all just don't make sense, why would he hurt her?"

Snape walks over and places a hand on her shoulder "I know hun, but I know you and your sister don't believe that he did it, and I don't either. We're just going to have to let things play out for now!"

"Play out how Unc, Julia and I didn't do a job for the dark lord and now he is punishing us." Emma screams getting up form her seat.

"But I thought you didn't want to have to do what he asked. You didn't want Harry to get hurt?" Snape answers.

Emma sighs shifting her weight from foot to foot "I know Unc, I just didn't think Dad could get into this kind of a mess or let this happen. What if something happened to Julia and me before things get striated out?"

Snape walks over to her and pulls her into a hug, "Nothings going to happen to you and Julia, that is way your parents sent you here, you have too many people watching over you here!" Snape answers.

Emma looks up at her Uncle a couple tears rolling down her face, that he wipes away, "What if it's not enough Unc, he seems so powerful."

He hugs her again and just says, "It is, you have to believe me hun!"

"Thanks Unc, but I should get back to the others,' she kisses his cheek' I'll talk you later!" She says heading for the door.

"Ok, umm just one more question, is your sister coming back?" Snape asks.

Emma stops at the door and looks back at him, "Not yet Unc, I think she will, but she handles things differently then I do. She wants to go see dad, not that, that is going to happen, but she still wishes she could….. She'll be back."

Emma turns and walks out of the room and catches up with the Trio. The rest of the day goes pretty good, Emma not really saying anything, but good. She ate with the trio that night but left the castle afterwards. She didn't know that Harry had followed her.

"I'm really sorry about your parents Emm!" he says quietly as he stands behind her.

Emma slowly turns around to face him, her face covered in tear stains and tears till running down her face, she sniffles. "I'm sorry, I just needed some air, and it's a lot to have to get your mind around." She answers.

Harry steps towards her and gives her a quick hug, "if you need someone to talk to let me know ok." He says.

She nods slowly, "Yea, thanks Harry, I'll meet you up in the common room ok?"

Harry nods and turns back towards the castle disappearing into the shadows. He had wanted to ask her a couple questions but knew by the look on her face that now was not the right time.

Emma turns slowly back around staring at the full moon in the sky, her mind still trying to figure out why some could have done that to her mother framing her father in the process. She gets frustrated and kicks some dirt. She turns returning to the castle to get some sleep.

The next day the trio was eating breakfast together and the others were talking when Emma spoke up, "Harry we should have another session of Occlumency soon."

Harry turns to her a little concerned, "are you sure, you've been though a lot in the last couple of days?" He asks.

Emma nods, "yes, I need to get back into a regular routine, and this will help." She says.

"Ok, how about tomorrow night?" Harry asks.

"Sounds good!' she pauses to think a little, 'have you guys read anymore of that book yet, about those ancient people?" She asks.

The others shake their heads before Hermione answers "no, but that might be a good idea, and it might be kind of interesting."

"Ok let's do it after classes end today, sound like fun!" Ron says.

Julia had been practicing this new power thingy for the last couple days. She can't seem to always be able to do it except when she is really mad, for now at least. She had been hearing things around the house and knew that people were looking for her, or at least Dumbledore is probably looking for her, others would have known to just send an owl to her if they wanted to talk. She had talked to Lucious a couple times already, trying to get him to take her to see her dad, even though she really knew she wouldn't be able to. She was supposed to have dinner with him and her aunt tonight, though she was not looking forward to it, they would probably tell her to go back to school, which she didn't want to do.

Julia sighs and clears her mind thinking about Draco, "Hey are you there?"

"Yea girl what's up," Draco answers quickly.

"Nothing much just hanging around the house, and trying to decide what would be best to wear to dinner with your parents tonight?" Julia says with another sigh.

"You're having dinner with my parents?' Draco asks 'any special reason?"

Julia grins to herself, "just them trying to talk me into going back to Hogwarts,' she says raising two fingers though he can not see, 'it is "safer" for me there after all that's happened."

"Everyone says Hogwarts is the safest place to be,' Draco starts,' but its not like anyone could really get you in your room with all those spells you put on it." He says.

"Yea I know, and I'm not really to go back,' she says, 'if I go back."

"Your thinking about not returning, is that wise?" Draco asks

"I don't care about school hun, never have never will, I just don't want to be there. Or be by Emma anymore either, she is still driving me nuts."

This time Draco smiles, "I know girl, but this whole thing is not over yet and you still need to be safe, you need to come back here." He says.

"I know I know and I will, but I got to go, need to be at your parents 10 minutes ago. Bye talks to you later." She says ending the link. A bye from Draco enters her mind.

A couple of moments later Julia snapped into the Malfoy Manor, her Aunty Narcissa was waiting in the hall way. "Aunty hi" She says as she appears.

"Julia darling you're here', she says giving her a hug and eyeing her clothing, 'a little late though!"

Julia hides a frown as she watches her Aunt look her over, she's wearing another of her favorites, a knee high black skirt and blue tanktop with black knee high tie up boots. "I'm sorry Aunty a lost track of time."

Her aunty gave her a look that she knew Julia was lying but didn't say anything just assured her towards the living room, "Its ok darling."

They both enter the room and Julia sits on the couch and crosses her legs as her aunt sits across from her. Julia know she wants to talk about what's happened and Julia going back to school but they have fought a lot in the last couple days and they just sit there in silence. They sit there until one of the house elves's come in and say that dinner is ready.

They both get up as Julia speaks "Is uncle not joining us for dinner tonight?"

"Lucious got called away on business, he say he would try to get back early hun!" Her aunt replies.

Julia nods following toward the dinning room and sitting down as they are served and silence falls again.

Her aunt speaks up after a little bit, "I really wish you would return to school, I really think it would be better, you need your education."

Julia is sitting with her head down and hair in her face but her aunty see her roll her eyes, "I don't want to Aunty, and don't say that you and Uncle will pay for it, I'm not ready." She says.

"But darling, it's your fifth year, this last few are the most important, and your parents would want you to go back." Her Aunty says.

Julia throws down her fork, "don't tell me what my mother and father would want, I know what they want, and that is why they are in the hospital and jail right now. I am not going back until I can see dad, and that's final." She yells

"You are not going to be able to see your father; he is in Azkaban that is the highest security prison around!" She yells back.

"Then I guess I'm not going back to school them." Julia says crossing her arms.

"your going back young lady, you know it would be us taking care of you if something happened to your parents, and what we say go." Her aunty says.

"I'll go back when I am ready, good and ready," Julia answers disappearing from the manor.
