The Raptor and The Raven Chapter 4: The Order
Last Chapter:
"No Molly my dad once said that when your hit in the face your mind goes black for a second,And I think with all that happened tonight Toboe's mind just shut down for a while to catch up."Hermione had her hands ringing out a cool cloth for Toboe's head.
--This Chapter--
It had been almost a week since Toboe and Hermione Fled America. As Molly climbed the stairs she opened the door and set the tray down before going towards the bed. When she pulled the coverings back from the bed,She gasped. Toboe was gone. Molly noticed that the bathroom door was open a crack and she approached it cautiously. "Toboe dear you in there?" Molly called gently. "Yeah Molly I'm here thanks for taking care o' me. When is Breakfast?" The door opened and Toboe strolled out her smirk in place as she stretched and popped her back.
Molly beamed as she handed the trey to Toboe and saw the woman sit on the bed and wolf down her food. "Mmmmmm So good, Can I have some more??" Toboe's stomach growled to testify her hunger. Molly laughed and said. "Can you make it down the stairs to the kitchen??"Toboe grinned evilly. "Does a wolf howl?" Both women chuckled at the joke. "Does Hermes know I'm up yet?"Toboe asked. "No only I do why?"Molly replied. "I wanna surprise her, But I got to get some clothes though."
Molly looked at the towel clad woman. "that is true my dear,Professor Dumbledore wants to speak with you and Hermione today and then we are going to take you to Diagon Alley for some stuff and your own wand."Molly looked around and spotted a small bag and dug through it coming up with a green wife-beater and a pair of loose black silk shorts. "Well Toboe looking like Hermione brought you some clothes"Toboe chuckled.
And dug through the bag for underthings."Score! Hermes you are a life saver"Toboe commented as she got her clothes and vanished into the bathroom. Molly chuckled and transfigured a few lengths of cord into hair pieces for her. As molly was going down the hall she heard a thank you drifting through the wood. Toboe dug through the bag and cam up with a brush, smiling slightly she attacked her hair.
--Breakfast time--
Hermione and the rest of the Order had just sat down for breakfast when Molly bustled through the kitchen and set another place next to Hermione's. "We have a surprise guest for breakfast today." Molly cheery attitude was infectious for the younger of those gathered there. "Who is it mum?" Ginny's voice rose to be heard above the den. "Its a surprise Ginny dear." A dark, accented voice interrupted Ginny's reply. "I'm Hungry Molly." head whipped around to stare at the speaker. Hermione turned around to see Toboe leaning against the door frame,arms crossed and with a smirk on her face.
"Toboe!"Hermione Bellowed, Hermione jumped towards Toboe and was caught and hugged by the larger female. " Hermes I'm alright! Just hungry and wound up a bit"Toboe chuckled as she set Hermione on her feet and stepped towards the table and the plate of food Molly had sat on it. Hermione smiled and looked towards the two wolves who followed Toboe every where. "Sev! Luc!Good boys!!"The rest of the Order dwindled in until the only space left was between Toboe and Hermione.
Draco was the last to the table that morning,And was dismayed that he'd have to sit between Granger and the American. Molly smiled noticing the slightly crumbed plate in front of Toboe when she returned with the rest of breakfast. As Draco sat between them he grumbled a little when neither woman noticed him as one was feeding the wolves and the other chatting Potter up. "Well well well its good to see you up so soon miss..."Dumbledore's voice was light and his eyes were a twinkling.
"Toboe is my name Headmaster."She said as she filled her plate, Unaware of the smirks of the youngest Weasley male. Dumbledore's eyes widened when she called him by title. "Hermes Told me a bit 'bout each of you."Then she dug into her food as Molly popped back through the door. Ron was waiting for his mother to scold the American for eating before everyone else,when Molly spoke. "Toboe dear eat as much as you like Hermione told me you hadn't eaten in a while."Toboe smiled and swallowed her food,sipped her hot tea and spoke. "Thank you Molly I'm famished!"and she absolved into her eating. Dumbledore looked at the young woman currently wolfing down her food.
"Toboe that means Howl or Voiced Sorrow, doesn't it?"Dumbledore Inquired looking in her eyes. They glittered as she smiled at him for his knowledge. "Yes It does Sir. Hermes had a field day diggin for its meanin." Toboe smiled as she fed her white wolf. "Can I inquire as to what your familiars names are?"Dumbledore's blue eyes shone. "Well your looking at Lucius which means light or Fallen Star."She motioned for the other who placed her front paws on her leg,while his nose was kissed."This is Severus his name means Severe Noble Shadow. But I guess you knew that already."They shared a smile at the grumbles around them.
"Miss Granger says your family has money stored in gringotts, is this true?"Toboe quirked an eyebrow as she thought."Its true Headmaster my familial clan has money in gringotts. Hermes told me about this Diagonally place?"Dumbledore and Hermione laughed. "Its Diagon Alley not Diagonally Toboe" Toboe's head tipped to the side in understanding. "Oh OOPS sorry! When can we go?"Toboe stretched her back out and the bones cracked."You can go today after breakfast if you wish.""Can I take Hermes? I wanna hit the book store!"Dumbledore chuckled. "Only if I can send one of my Order with you,For protection."Toboe Interrupted him. "OK, but I'm taking Severus and whom ever you send has to get past him. Or they don't go."Dumbledore agreed
