Harry closed his eyes as he felt nearly complete. He did not know that it could feel so good as the vampire fed off him. Too soon, the sensations stopped and Harry felt slightly lost. He opened his eyes to see Auaraya smiling at him.
"I knew you were the one." She said softly.
Harry was confused by her words. He did not know what she was talking about. She just continued to smile before leaning down and gently giving him a kiss. His eyes grew wide open as he tasted his own blood on her lips. His mind soon began to cloud over as he responded to the kiss. He soon pulled apart for some much needed air. He was too shocked to say anything. He just pulled her down until her head rested just under his chin. He held her close as he tried to figure out what had happened. He glanced around the area realizing that they were alone. He finally found his voice as his concern grew.
"Where are Draco and Hyacintha at?" he asked.
Auaraya frowned before sitting up. She took note of the area and sighed. She let out a string of curses causing Harry to raise an eyebrow at her.
"She must have taken off again and he followed her. How can I protect her when she runs off at every opportunity?" She said more to herself.
"You should chain her to you until she learned." Harry said teasing.
"NO! Never! I wouldn't be able to." Auaraya said pushing away.
"I was just joking."
"I know. I might consider that if she keeps taking off, but it would be me who would suffer for it."
"What? I'm completely lost."
"It would be considered treason to have her chained."
"How is that? She's just a friend, isn't she?"
"Yes, but her father also is the leader of the clan."
"Oh, ok. So how do we find her?"
"That's just it. We can't, not unless she wants to be found."
"So now what?"
"We have to at least try looking."
"They couldn't have gotten too far." Harry said as they began their search for their two missing friends.
"Draco will you stop it?" Hyacintha said. She was sitting in a clearing with her legs crossed. Her eyes were closed as she looked to be meditating. Draco was pacing around keeping an eye open for trouble. He was grumbling to himself every couple of paces.
"I still think we should have stayed with Raya." He said.
"Well this is important. Besides she looked kind of busy." Hyacintha said smiling.
"Yea, they both looked completely blissful."
"Yea. Now sit down and shut up. I have to concentrate."
"Ok, ok." Draco did as he was told. He watched her sit perfectly still. He knew that she could communicate with her father telepathically. He just did not see the point with it right now. He waved his hand in front of her face to see if she was still paying attention. She did not do anything and he grinned. He was about to test his limits when he heard someone heading their way. He quickly backed away and stood up facing the direction the noise was coming from. He quickly glanced back over his shoulder to see if Hyacintha made a move. She hadn't, he knew that it meant she had made contact. He quickly turned his gaze back to the intruders. He could hear them coming closer and even heard their voices. He was soon faced with someone he never wanted to anger.
"I thought I told you time and time again not to wonder off?" A very angry Auaraya said coming out of the bushes. Draco became nervous and nearly scared.
"I told her we should wait for you, but she insisted that it couldn't wait." Draco said trying to save himself.
"Where is she? I kill her myself." Auaraya said coming closer. Harry smartly stayed out of reach of the very angry girl. Draco took a few steps back to get out of her reach.
"Raya, she is communicating with her father."
"Oh." Auaraya said calming down at once. Auaraya pushed past Draco and sat crossed leg in front of her friend. Harry looked around expecting to see another person standing with them but found none.
"Umm, how is she talking to him?" Harry asked coming to stand next to Draco.
Draco rolled his eyes forgetting that Harry had not been around them as long as he had. He sighed and turned toward his classmate. He eyed him for sometime before he responded.
"She can communicate telepathically."
"Can the entire clan do that?" Harry asked becoming more curious the more he learned.
"No, only a select few can. It is a rare gift among the clan." Draco said. He crossed his arms across his chest as he turned to face the girls. He only took a few steps to move closer to them.
"Kina is telepathic because she inherited the trait through her father. I can to some degree but only one person at a time. She can communicate with a group of people if she wished." Auaraya piped in.
Harry stood next to Draco as he watched Hyacintha. He kept trying to put everything together that he had been learning to come to some type of understanding. They stayed in the same positions for a few more hours. It was nearing dawn when Hyacintha began to move again. Harry was just glade it was a weekend. He watched as Hyacintha slowly opened her eyes and looked around at everyone. Her gaze seemed distant, almost cold. She seemed to be angry about something.
"Father found some information about the ancient spell's location. He believes that someone may be planning to use it. He wasn't sure when." Hyacintha said in a near deadly tone.
"Who has it? Where is it to be located?" Auaraya asked cautiously.
"Don't know who has it, but it is said to be around Hogwarts somewhere. The exact location is still unknown. He wants any information regarding the spell that we can find while we are here. We should relay on the group with no outside help."
"If it is at Hogwarts then maybe Dumbledore would know something about it. I wouldn't trust him but he could help use find something." Harry said.
"Yea, if anyone would know something it would be him, even if he tends to lie about things." Draco agreed with Harry.
Hyacintha's eyes grew colder as she glared in Harry and Draco's direction. Auaraya knew that it was a bad sign. Her friend felt threatened and took their response as a challenge. She had to do something fast. She glanced at Draco hoping he would know how to calm her down slightly.
"We don't need his help!" Hyacintha said nearly growling.
Draco was beginning to feel scared of his friend. He was not used to her acting like she was. He had heard about her dark moods, but was never aloud around when she was in one. Everyone knew she was capable of killing anyone who crossed her path. He tried to recall what his father taught him before he made his first appearance to the rulers. He watched her as she stood up quickly, her gaze never leaving him.
"We can look in the restricted section of the library and if any, Severus may let us use his personal collection." Auaraya quickly said coming between the boys and Hyacintha. She quickly went to one knee, her head bowed. Hyacintha seemed to regard her closely but not with the very heated look she had been sending the boys. Draco noticed the change and finally remembered his lessons. He quickly followed Auaraya's example and went to one knee. He remembered that it showed his loyalty to her if she ever felt a response was challenging her.
"We are wanted back around Christmas. We need as much information as possible before that time. Also, Auaraya, how many recruits have you gotten so far?" Hyacintha said keeping her gaze away from Harry. As far as she was concerned, he was not there. Auaraya knew her friend meant business when she used her full name instead of her nickname.
"Two so far. Not many are very trusting." Auaraya said slightly wincing.
"You need at least twenty by Christmas or the plans will fail." Hyacintha responded.
Harry shifted slightly getting tired of standing there. He knew it was a mistake as Hyacintha's angry gaze turned his way. He was certain that she would have completely ignored him if he had not moved. He felt someone tugging on his leg. He looked down and saw that it was Draco. Draco was indicating for Harry to get down like he was. Harry hesitated before falling to one knee like Draco. Harry did not know what was going on. The more they talked, the more confused h e became.
"What about Potter? I mean when we are to return." Draco asked slowly. His eyes never left the ground.
"He can come if he wants. His choice."
Harry began to grow angry. He hated being talked about as if he was not there. He began to stand as his magic began to build. Draco felt Harry's anger rise along with his magic. He knew Hyacintha would view it as a challenge, especially if his magic continued to grow.
"Lower your magic and calm down. Don't giver her a reason to see you as a threat." Draco whispered to Draco.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"Just do it. I'll explain later."
Harry sighed as tried to control his anger. He lowered his magic until he felt Hyacintha's gaze leave him. He suddenly felt very relieved, as if a danger had past that he did not know was there. He felt the tension build up as time ticked by. He heard footsteps walking toward him. He tensed up hoping that whoever it was would not stop at him. He sighed when he felt her walk by. He knew who was leaving, the only one who was left standing. Harry felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He looked up to see Auaraya looking at him. She indicated that he could stand. He stood up as she tapped Draco on the shoulder. She took off after Hyacintha, leaving the two boys alone. Draco took hold of Harry's arm and followed after the girls. Once he got Harry moving, he let go of him. Harry tried to catch up with the girls but Draco held him back.
"It's better to leave those two for the time being." Draco said.
"Why? What has happened to make her so angry?" Harry asked, wanting answers.
"It could be that her and her father had it out with one another."
"That couldn't be all to it."
"No. She probably felt that she was being challenged."
"By who? Us?"
"Yes. Not only are we supposed to follow and obey her, but we are mainly her protectors. When I agreed with you, she might have felt that we were challenging her authority."
"How did you get involved in all of this?"
"My father taught her for years. I was to help protect her when she entered Hogwarts."
"And how do I fit into all of this?"
"That is between you and Auaraya."
"Wait a minute, how is Auaraya going to calm her down?"
"I don't really know. I know they have been close friends since childhood. They can easily help each other."
"Oh."
They had walked through a portion of the Forbidden Forest and were standing at the edge of the school grounds. The girls were still walking across the lawn wile the boys slowed down their pace to give the girls so privacy. Harry watched as it appeared that Hyacintha was still angry. He could not figure out what had gotten her so angry. He kept replaying the scene in his head trying to locate any wrongdoing. He did know that he did not want to be around her while she was angry.
"How long will she stay mad?" Harry asked quietly.
"Longest time is said to have been three months. She did not talk to anyone, not Raya or even her own father." Draco replied.
"What happened? How did they get her to talk again?"
"I don't know. I wasn't aloud at the castle at the time. I had just turned nine. My father said that she locked herself in her room until they gave in to what she wanted. She was eight when it started and it ended two months after she turned nine."
"Talk about being spoiled."
'Yea.
Across the yard, the arguing continued to grow. Auaraya pulled on a struggling Hyacintha's arms out of site from any who ventured outside. Once behind a building, she let go of her arm. Auaraya was beginning to become angry with her young friend. She was beginning not to care if her father ruled over her or not.
"Stop yelling for once. No one can understand you!" She yelled over her friends ranting.
"The nerve of them. Telling me what to do!" Hyacintha said.
"You know that's not what they meant."
"Yes it is. They have some nerve trying to tell me of all people what I should or should not do!"
"Draco is still learning and Harry has no idea about anything."
"I know that but that's not who I'm talking about."
"Then who is they?"
"Papa and his band of followers!"
"Well he is your other parent, he does have a right."
"I know but his followers don't!"
"What do you mean? Weren't you talking with your father only?"
"Yea, until Papa butted in. His followers began to rant on about what should be done."
"You lost me there."
I was talking with Father when he wanted his mate's opinion. Instead, we got his followers. Father did not stop them from telling me what to do! I mean, ever since they got back together, Father has been acting less like the clan leader. He seems to be more concerned about his mate's well being."
"Can you blame him? His mate was said to have died and then comes back years later. Who wouldn't do everything in their power to make sure that didn't happen again?"
"I know but he denies me mine!"
"So you told him about…" Auaraya began.
"Yes."
"Oh."
Hyacintha sits on the ground with her knees drawn to her. She laid her head on top and sighed. She felt confused but above all, she was furious with her father. She wanted so much but only got so little. Auaraya sat with her friend, silently giving her support. Hyacintha leaned over against her friend as the tears began to fall. Auaraya knew not to say anything. She just sat there comforting her friend as much as she could.
A/N: Just a little side note, when Hyacintha uses Papa, she is referring to Voldemort. When she uses Father, she is talking about Jason. I am having trouble updating my Year Of Pranks story since my computer decided to crash. Once I get my computer back and running, I will try to update that story.
