Chapter 3
As Daemon stepped out of the gate he gave a low angry growl as a shield was thrown around him and he saw that Chaosti was on the ground completely unconscious. Lilandra and Raya were kneeling next to Chaosti trying to revive him and Aaron and Khary were both riding the killing edge. *Dad, don't do anything please. We have to find out what's going on.* Lilandra stated as she entered his mind. The fact that Aaron and Khary must have received the same request and listened showed Daemon that although his daughter was young she had just as much control over the men in her life that her mother had at her age.
Daemon quickly put his own black shield over the red that Khary had put up. "Lord Voldemort requests your presence." Daemon looked up to see a group of about 20 people in dark hooded cloaks and felt himself riding the killing edge as well.
"And just who exactly is Lord Voldemort?" Daemon asked through gritted teeth as he pictured in his mind tearing all of these people apart mind and body.
"Lord Voldemort is the strongest wizard ever known." A hooded figured said. "He wishes to speak to the two young women."
"The only way you'll get them is if we're dead." Khary spat.
"That can be arranged, but unfortunately our Lord wants you all alive." Another hooded figure said as he pulled out a small wooden stick from beneath his robe. "Crucio!"
Lilandra looked up from Chaosti as he slowly began to get to his feet. *What in the world!* Lilandra thought as she gave a little jump. Sparks began flying out of the small wooden stick. She was not surprised to see the sparks fly off of her father's shield and hit one of the hooded figures. Lilandra covered her ears and closed her eyes as the figure fell to the floor screaming and writhing in pain.
"Look at that freak." When Lilandra pulled her hands off of her ears she heard one of the hooded figures say as they pointed to Raya. "What could Lord Voldemort possibly want with her?"
"It's not our place to question our lord." Another replied looking at Raya. "But I don't know what he could possibly want with her."
Lilandra and the four men with her looked over at Raya. Although she didn't show any sign of being hurt by the comment they all knew Raya well enough to know that she was fighting an inner battle to keep from crying. Lilandra looked up at the four men as she felt them rush back to the killing edge.
*That's it* Lilandra thought as another hooded figure said something and their would be attacker stopped writhing. Lilandra slowly began her descent to the strength of her red. She prepared to slip under their barriers but was surprised at what she found. *Dad!*
*Not now* Daemon said as he fought to control the urge to shake his daughter. He had felt her descent and knew that she planned something. *Who does she think she is? She keeps us from attacking, but she plans to attack them herself. I know she does. He thought to himself. To distract himself from his daughter he kept his focus on the hooded figure that had caused Raya so much pain.
*But Dad!* Lilandra practically shouted in her fathers head.
"What?" He screamed. Everyone turned to look at him. The hooded figures looked at him like he had gone crazy. They all pulled small wooden sticks out from under their robes. Raya, Chaosti, Khary and Aaron all knew that father and daughter had been arguing and that Lilandra was pushing her father. The four of them had felt her descent but none of them wanted to question her about it.
*Dad, they have no inner barriers.* Lilandra simply stated to her father.
Daemon looked at his daughter with surprise clearly written on his face. *They have power though.*
*They must have a different type of power. I found a faint trace of a barrier, but it wasn't very strong. Their barriers must have slowly dissolved over time.* Lilandra replied looking at the large group before her and thinking of the pain that she could cause them and how she could make them suffer for the pain that they had caused her cousin and best friend.
Daemon looked from his daughter and knew that she was thinking about something. *This is to easy* Daemon thought as he began his descent to the black and prepared to turn their attackers mind to dust. *They won't know what hit them.* Daemon stated as he neared his black strength.
"Expelliramus!"
Daemon stopped his descent and was surprised when all of the sticks that were pointing at them suddenly flew out of the hands of their attackers. He looked up to see an old man in a dark blue robe standing in front of a group of people. They all were pointing their sticks at the group of hooded people.
"Accio wand." To the small groups surprise, one of the hooded figures still had his stick and because of it all of the hooded figures small sticks flew back to them. "This isn't over Dumbledore!" One of the hooded figures shouted. "Lord Voldemort always gets what he wants."
Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop
To Daemon's surprise all of the hooded figures disappeared.
"Go and check on the Weasley's." Dumbledore said turning to a few of the men and women in his group.
Daemon turned and saw a group of red haired people that he hadn't noticed before. The all stood stone still and reminded Daemon of statues. "Who are you?" Daemon asked looking at the old man with distrust in every muscle in his body.
"My name is Albus Dumbledore." The old man said as a few of the people in his group headed towards the group of red heads. Everyone that had headed for the red heads nodded in agreement after examining them. They all muttered some words and all of a sudden all the red heads fell forward.
"They'll be fine." a woman in a lavender robe said.
"What happened?" Lilandra turned toward the voice and came face to face with a red haired boy about her age.
"Are you guys all right?" Raya looked at the brown haired boy with glasses as he stepped away from the group that had just arrived. She watched him walk to the young girl with red hair and take her hand.
"We're fine Harry." She replied smiling squeezing his hand.
"It's a good thing our meeting with Fudge ran a little late." Harry said looking at all the red heads then at the small group that had just arrived.
"I'm glad you were........"
The red head boy was cut off by Chaosti who looked murderous. "What just happened?" He asked looking from Dumbledore to the rest of his group. "The last thing I remembered was stepping out of the gate, seeing sparks, and then being hit by something that knocked me out."
"It would appear that Voldemort has heard about Raya and Lilandra." Dumbledore said as everyone but the group from Kaeleer, the young brown haired boy and girl felt a shiver run down their spine.
"Who is Voldemort?" Daemon asked. He didn't know who Voldemort was, but he wasn't about to leave his daughter and niece if some crazy man was going to try and get to them. "I thought that I was bringing my daughter and niece someplace safe for them to study at."
"Hogwart's is perfectly safe." The eldest red haired man said looking at Daemon.
"Hell's fire!" Aaron exclaimed. "Neither Khary or I were told about Voldemort when we came to see if this would be a safe place for Raya and Lilandra."
"We didn't think that Voldemort would attack them." Dumbledore said looking at Aaron. "If we had, we would have told you about him immediately."
"I don't think you thought at all." Daemon said looking Dumbledore in the eye. He turned to see his daughter enveloping Raya in a hug and knew that Lilandra was comforting Raya about what had been said earlier. Daemon was fighting to control the desire to rise to the killing edge. He knew that Raya had been hurt and he knew that if Lucivar had come, there would not have been a single hooded figure left standing.
"Let's just get them home." Harry said feeling the tension that was rising. "I'm sure they can use some rest."
"Good idea." Daemon growled. "Only, we'll be heading back to our home." Daemon turned to reopen the gate but was stopped by his daughter's hand on his shoulder.
"Dad," Lilandra said as her father turned around. "Raya and I have talked about it. We both want to go to school at Hogwart's."
"No!" Daemon said his anger at being argued with showed as his body tensed. "I'm not leaving you two where you can be attacked at any moment. Do I look like I've lost all my senses?"
"Please Uncle Daemon." Raya asked pleadingly *Puppy faces?* Raya asked Lilandra.
*Puppy faces! It's the only chance we have of staying.* Lilandra answered her cousin. "Dad please?" Lilandra asked as her face softened and she put her stuck her lip out in a pout and she looked up at her dad with watery eyes.
*There they go* Khary said when he looked and saw that Raya was pulling the same trick as Lilandra.
*They'll have him in about two minutes.* Chaosti said. They all knew that the only people that could get Daemon to change his mind were Jaenelle, and Lilandra. Lilandra was the queen when it came to getting her father to do what she wanted.
*He's already beginning to soften.* Aaron said as he saw Daemon's eyes soften. *They already have him. He isn't going to last two minutes.*
"I told everybody that I would keep you safe." Daemon said looking at the girls and felt his decision changing. Turning to Raya he said: "I told your father that I would take care of you. Do you know what he'll do to me if he finds out what happened."
"Dad doesn't have to know." Raya said looking her uncle in the eye.
"Your dad will find out." Daemon said rolling his eyes in exasperation. "Your father finds everything out somehow."
Dumbledore and the other wizards and witches watched in amazement as the two girls slowly bent Daemon until his decision changed to something that they wanted to hear. Both Khary and Aaron had told Dumbledore about the Sadist, he in turn had told everyone else about him. They could not believe that Daemon could possibly be that bad, but none of them wanted to find out that badly so they all just waited and watched as the girls worked their magic.
"Daaadddyyy." Lilandra said turning to her father "Please let us stay. You were going to stay for the week anyway until we left to go to school. While we're here you can check the school for yourself."
Daemon turned away from his daughter and looked at Dumbledore and the others. "It would appear that the girls want to stay. Daemon said as he pointed to Aaron, Khary and Chaosti who were standing to his right. "However, that means that we will also be staying and I'm not leaving until I've checked the school and I'm satisfied that the girls will be safe."
"Fair enough." Dumbledore said as he turned around. "Allow me to introduce you to the Weasley's. You will be staying with them for the week. This is Arthur and Molly Weasley. These are there children Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny." Pulling a brown haired boy and girl from behind him, Dumbledore continued the introductions. "This is Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. They will also be staying with the Weasley. Both of them will be entering their seventh year with the girls and Ron."
"Hi." Harry said as he extended his hand to Lilandra "I'm Harry."
Lilandra looked at Harry and smiled. "Yea, I caught that. My name is Li......" Lilandra was cut off when she appeared to run into something that none of the witches or wizards noticed. Turning to her father Lilandra sighed and said: "Dad, can you please drop your shield? He's going to be our classmate and we have to get to know him."
"All right." Daemon said reluctantly. He still didn't trust these people and would rather have been heading home.
"My name is Lilandra." Lilandra said as she extended her hand to Harry and shook it. "This is my cousin Raya." Everyone present looked at Raya a look of complete shock on all of their faces. Daemon and the other guy's anger instantly started to rise and they prepared to lash out at anyone who opened their mouth.
"What?" Raya asked everyone. "Did I grow wings or something?"
Everybody opened their mouths wider. Lilandra just started laughing and ended up rolling on the floor. Harry and everyone looked at Lilandra like she had gone crazy. "Raya," Lilandra said when her laughter died down. "Don't tease them."
"I'm Eyrien." Raya said with a smile on her face. "All Eyrien's have wings. You should see my older brothers and my dad, they have really big wings."
"Sorry." Harry said when he regained his composure. "We've just never seen anyone with wings before."
"That was very rude of us." Hermione said as she extended her hand to Raya then to Lilandra. "I hope you will accept our apologies."
"Don't worry about it." Raya said as she smiled at Hermione. "I actually wondered how people would react to my wings."
Daemon looked all the witches and wizards over. *Looks like we're going to have to give them a chance.* Daemon said to Khary, Aaron, and Chaosti. *What do you think?*
*I think that we're going to have to give this whole place a chance.* Khary said.
*Sure does.* Daemon said. *Unless one of you wants to be the one to tell Lilandra and Raya that they have to go home.* Daemon smiled as all the boyos tensed then looked at Lilandra.
*I would be willing if it was just Raya.* Chaosti said looking from one girl to the next. *But I would rather try The Khaldharon Run before I told Lilandra.*
*Chaosti.* Daemon said as he looked at Chaosti quizzically. *The Khaldharon Run is for Eyriens. You don't have wings.*
*I know.* Chaosti said looking Daemon in the eye.
*We love your daughter.* Aaron said to Daemon. *And Jaenelle may have been stronger at Lilandra's age, but Lilandra's scarier when she gets upset.*
*Should I take that as a compliment?* Daemon asked raising his eyebrow.
*You can take it how you want Daemon.* Khary said. *As long as we don't ever have to be on the receiving end of your daughters anger.*
"What are you four talking about?" Raya asked looking at all four men with a questioning look in her eyes. Lilandra turned away from her new group of friends and looked at the small group. Lilandra eyed each one individually suspicion was clear in her eyes.
"What were you four talking about?" Lilandra asked stepping up to the group.
"Nothing." Aaron quickly replied
"I don't believe you." Raya stated simply. "You four have been standing there to quiet and I know you were talking about something."
"We were discussing whether we thought this place was safe for you two." Daemon replied looking down Raya. "Your father is going to skin us alive when he finds out what happened."
"We'll be fine." Lilandra said as she wrapped one arm around her father's waist and the other around Khary's. "The only people who are stronger than me here are you and Chaosti. That's with my birthright jewel. Besides apparently the shields can block what ever they throw at us."
"That's thing." Daemon said as he looked his daughter in the eye. "What ever they threw against my shield was strong. It may not have penetrated but I'm not sure that a red shield could possibly hold up against that."
"Nothing is going to happen to us Dad." Lilandra said wrapping her dad in a hug. "Don't worry."
"Look." Daemon said with a sigh. "We already had this discussion and we're going to give it another chance. So let's get going or we're going home."
Lilandra looked at her father and smiled. Turning to Harry she asked: "So where are we? And are we going to be staying near here?"
"This is a place that Muggles call Stonehenge. Although the Ministry of Magic knew that it had some magic, they could never figure out what it did until recently."
*I'm beginning to wish they never figured out what it did.* Daemon said looking at Chaosti. Chaosti, Aaron and Khary all nodded in agreement.
"So where are we going to be staying?" Lilandra asked Harry. "And how do we get there?"
"The same way we got here." Harry said. Pulling a single black boot from behind his back Harry said: "Just put one finger on here and we should be leaving shortly."
"Okay." Lilandra said looking skeptically at the shoe as she, Raya, Chaosti, Khary, Aaron, Daemon, Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny all placed a finger on the shoe.
The small group suddenly felt a pull from their belly button. "What in the...." Before Daemon finished he hit ground. Everybody from Kaeleer fell to the ground from the sudden impact.
"Welcome to the Burrow." Ron said as the group dusted themselves off.
Lilandra looked up and smiled when she saw one of the weirdest structures she had ever seen. "How did they get here so fast?" Lilandra asked when she saw the front door open and Mrs. Weasley and Dumbledore stepped out. "Did they get here the same way we did? Even riding the winds isn't nearly as fast."
"No." Hermione said "They apparated here. What are the winds?"
"They're the way we travel from place to place." Raya said as she stepped into the house along with the small group. "You can only ride a wind of the same strength or lower than what you wear."
The group entered the small living room and all the men sat down. "You girls will be staying in Ginny's room." Mrs. Weasley said as she led Raya, Lilandra, Hermione and Ginny upstairs.
As soon as the girls were out of ear shot Daemon turned to Dumbledore, Harry and the Weasley men. "I thought my daughter and niece would be safe here."
"They will be safe here." Dumbledore said. "We have been under the threat of Voldemort for the past few years."
"Why weren't we told?" Chaosti asked his anger rising to the surface again.
"We were going to tell you when you got here." Bill said. "We honestly didn't think he would attack you on your arrival."
"We knew if we told you, you wouldn't let the girls come." Mr. Weasley replied as he leaned forward in hi chair.
"What's so important about them?" Daemon asked his control on his anger slowly beginning to slip. "I'm warning you know, if I don't like the answer I'm taking them home."
"The girls are strong......" Dumbledore started.
"Tell us something we don't know." Chaosti cut Dumbledore off.
"We weren't the first ones to discover the connection between your world and ours. Someone came to our world from yours a while ago and we don't know who it is. However, whoever it was tipped the scale to Voldemort's side. With their help Voldemort's stands a very good chance of taking over our world and then yours. With the girls helping us we hope to strengthen our forces using their ability and what they know about your world."
"Why not just ask us for help?" Daemon asked.
"We would have except we are sure that whoever came through the gate still has ties in your realm. We decided to see if any child in your realm had the strength of our magic in them. That way it would just look like we were trying to bring the two worlds together. Lilandra and Raya were the only ones between eleven and eighteen who had it. If we couldn't find anyone, we were just going to have to risk it and come right out and ask for help."
"All right." Daemon said looking at Dumbledore. "We can help, but first I need to ask my wife what she thinks. If Jaenelle thinks we should help then we will. If not, then I'm taking my daughter and niece home." Daemon turned to Khary and said: "Khary, you will go back through the gate tonight. Tell Jaenelle everything that has happened and come back as soon as you can."
Dumbledore looked at Bill and Charlie: "Would you both accompany him and talk to Ms. Jaenelle."
"Sure." Bill said as Khary, Charlie and himself stood up.
"Can I have the candles?" Khary asked Daemon
"What do you need candles for?" Bill asked as Daemon began to hand the bag to Khary.
"So we can open the gate." Khary replied.
"You don't need the candles." Charlie said. "We know the spell to open the gate."
"Oh," Khary said "All right."
"Hold onto me and we'll be gone." Bill said.
"What do you mean hold onto you?" Khary asked as he looked at Bill with a raised eyebrow.
"Just wrap your arms around me and we can leave."
"You have got to be kidding." Khary exclaimed as he saw Daemon, Aaron, and Chaosti cover their mouths with their hands.
"If you know another way then let's go. This is the only way I know." Bill said knowing that Khary was getting really uncomfortable and nervous.
"What I wouldn't give to be able to ride the winds right now." Khary said resigning himself to the inevitable. Closing his eyes Khary wrapped his arms around Bill and held his breath.
"Mighty friendly aren't you Khary?" Chaosti asked the laughter in his voice clear.
Daemon, Aaron, and Chaosti could not contain their laughter when they saw the look of complete panic on Khary's face before the three men disappeared.
"They'll be fine." Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"I guess there's nothing to do until Khary, Bill and Charlie return." Daemon said when he contained his laughter and turned seriously to Dumbledore. "Why don't you tell me all about this Lord Voldemort."
"Lord Voldemort was born Tom Marvolo Riddle.........." Daemon, Aaron and Chaosti sat back and prepared for a long night.

"This is Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. They will also be staying with the Weasley. Both of them will be entering their seventh year with the girls and Ron."
"Hi." Harry said as he extended his hand to Lilandra "I'm Harry."
Lilandra looked at Harry and smiled. "Yea, I caught that. My name is Li......" Lilandra was cut off when she appeared to run into something that none of the witches or wizards noticed. Turning to her father Lilandra sighed and said: "Dad, can you please drop your shield? He's going to be our classmate and we have to get to know him."
"All right." Daemon said reluctantly. He still didn't trust these people and would rather have been heading home.
"My name is Lilandra." Lilandra said as she extended her hand to Harry and shook it. "This is my cousin Raya." Everyone present looked at Raya a look of complete shock on all of their faces. Daemon and the other guy's anger instantly started to rise and they prepared to lash out at anyone who opened their mouth.
"What?" Raya asked everyone. "Did I grow wings or something?"
Everybody opened their mouths wider. Lilandra just started laughing and ended up rolling on the floor. Harry and everyone looked at Lilandra like she had gone crazy. "Raya," Lilandra said when her laughter died down. "Don't tease them."
"I'm Eyrien." Raya said with a smile on her face. "All Eyrien's have wings. You should see my older brothers and my dad, they have really big wings."
"Sorry." Harry said when he regained his composure. "We've just never seen anyone with wings before."
"That was very rude of us." Hermione said as she extended her hand to Raya then to Lilandra. "I hope you will accept our apologies."
"Don't worry about it." Raya said as she smiled at Hermione. "I actually wondered how people would react to my wings."
Daemon looked all the witches and wizards over. *Looks like we're going to have to give them a chance.* Daemon said to Khary, Aaron, and Chaosti. *What do you think?*
*I think that we're going to have to give this whole place a chance.* Khary said.
*Sure does.* Daemon said. *Unless one of you wants to be the one to tell Lilandra and Raya that they have to go home.* Daemon smiled as all the boyos tensed then looked at Lilandra.
*I would be willing if it was just Raya.* Chaosti said looking from one girl to the next. *But I would rather try The Khaldharon Run before I told Lilandra.*
*Chaosti.* Daemon said as he looked at Chaosti quizzically. *The Khaldharon Run is for Eyriens. You don't have wings.*
*I know.* Chaosti said looking Daemon in the eye.
*We love your daughter.* Aaron said to Daemon. *And Jaenelle may have been stronger at Lilandra's age, but Lilandra's scarier when she gets upset.*
*Should I take that as a compliment?* Daemon asked raising his eyebrow.
*You can take it how you want Daemon.* Khary said. *As long as we don't ever have to be on the receiving end of your daughters anger.*
"What are you four talking about?" Raya asked looking at all four men with a questioning look in her eyes. Lilandra turned away from her new group of friends and looked at the small group. Lilandra eyed each one individually suspicion was clear in her eyes.
"What were you four talking about?" Lilandra asked stepping up to the group.
"Nothing." Aaron quickly replied
"I don't believe you." Raya stated simply. "You four have been standing there to quiet and I know you were talking about something."
"We were discussing whether we thought this place was safe for you two." Daemon replied looking down Raya. "Your father is going to skin us alive when he finds out what happened."
"We'll be fine." Lilandra said as she wrapped one arm around her father's waist and the other around Khary's. "The only people who are stronger than me here are you and Chaosti. That's with my birthright jewel. Besides apparently the shields can block what ever they throw at us."
"That's thing." Daemon said as he looked his daughter in the eye. "What ever they threw against my shield was strong. It may not have penetrated but I'm not sure that a red shield could possibly hold up against that."
"Nothing is going to happen to us Dad." Lilandra said wrapping her dad in a hug. "Don't worry."
"Look." Daemon said with a sigh. "We already had this discussion and we're going to give it another chance. So let's get going or we're going home."
Lilandra looked at her father and smiled. Turning to Harry she asked: "So where are we? And are we going to be staying near here?"
"This is a place that Muggles call Stonehenge. Although the Ministry of Magic knew that it had some magic, they could never figure out what it did until recently."
*I'm beginning to wish they never figured out what it did.* Daemon said looking at Chaosti. Chaosti, Aaron and Khary all nodded in agreement.
"So where are we going to be staying?" Lilandra asked Harry. "And how do we get there?"
"The same way we got here." Harry said. Pulling a single black boot from behind his back Harry said: "Just put one finger on here and we should be leaving shortly."
"Okay." Lilandra said looking skeptically at the shoe as she, Raya, Chaosti, Khary, Aaron, Daemon, Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny all placed a finger on the shoe.
The small group suddenly felt a pull from their belly button. "What in the...." Before Daemon finished he hit ground. Everybody from Kaeleer fell to the ground from the sudden impact.
"Welcome to the Burrow." Ron said as the group dusted themselves off.
Lilandra looked up and smiled when she saw one of the weirdest structures she had ever seen. "How did they get here so fast?" Lilandra asked when she saw the front door open and Mrs. Weasley and Dumbledore stepped out. "Did they get here the same way we did? Even riding the winds isn't nearly as fast."
"No." Hermione said "They apparated here. What are the winds?"
"They're the way we travel from place to place." Raya said as she stepped into the house along with the small group. "You can only ride a wind of the same strength or lower than what you wear."
The group entered the small living room and all the men sat down. "You girls will be staying in Ginny's room." Mrs. Weasley said as she led Raya, Lilandra, Hermione and Ginny upstairs.
As soon as the girls were out of ear shot Daemon turned to Dumbledore, Harry and the Weasley men. "I thought my daughter and niece would be safe here."
"They will be safe here." Dumbledore said. "We have been under the threat of Voldemort for the past few years."
"Why weren't we told?" Chaosti asked his anger rising to the surface again.
"We were going to tell you when you got here." Bill said. "We honestly didn't think he would attack you on your arrival."
"We knew if we told you, you wouldn't let the girls come." Mr. Weasley replied as he leaned forward in hi chair.
"What's so important about them?" Daemon asked his control on his anger slowly beginning to slip. "I'm warning you know, if I don't like the answer I'm taking them home."
"The girls are strong......" Dumbledore started.
"Tell us something we don't know." Chaosti cut Dumbledore off.
"We weren't the first ones to discover the connection between your world and ours. Someone came to our world from yours a while ago and we don't know who it is. However, whoever it was tipped the scale to Voldemort's side. With their help Voldemort's stands a very good chance of taking over our world and then yours. With the girls helping us we hope to strengthen our forces using their ability and what they know about your world."
"Why not just ask us for help?" Daemon asked.
"We would have except we are sure that whoever came through the gate still has ties in your realm. We decided to see if any child in your realm had the strength of our magic in them. That way it would just look like we were trying to bring the two worlds together. Lilandra and Raya were the only ones between eleven and eighteen who had it. If we couldn't find anyone, we were just going to have to risk it and come right out and ask for help."
"All right." Daemon said looking at Dumbledore. "We can help, but first I need to ask my wife what she thinks. If Jaenelle thinks we should help then we will. If not, then I'm taking my daughter and niece home." Daemon turned to Khary and said: "Khary, you will go back through the gate tonight. Tell Jaenelle everything that has happened and come back as soon as you can."
Dumbledore looked at Bill and Charlie: "Would you both accompany him and talk to Ms. Jaenelle."
"Sure." Bill said as Khary, Charlie and himself stood up.
"Can I have the candles?" Khary asked Daemon
"What do you need candles for?" Bill asked as Daemon began to hand the bag to Khary.
"So we can open the gate." Khary replied.
"You don't need the candles." Charlie said. "We know the spell to open the gate."
"Oh," Khary said "All right."
"Hold onto me and we'll be gone." Bill said.
"What do you mean hold onto you?" Khary asked as he looked at Bill with a raised eyebrow.
"Just wrap your arms around me and we can leave."
"You have got to be kidding." Khary exclaimed as he saw Daemon, Aaron, and Chaosti cover their mouths with their hands.
"If you know another way then let's go. This is the only way I know." Bill said knowing that Khary was getting really uncomfortable and nervous.
"What I wouldn't give to be able to ride the winds right now." Khary said resigning himself to the inevitable. Closing his eyes Khary wrapped his arms around Bill and held his breath.
"Mighty friendly aren't you Khary?" Chaosti asked the laughter in his voice clear.
Daemon, Aaron, and Chaosti could not contain their laughter when they saw the look of complete panic on Khary's face before the three men disappeared.
"They'll be fine." Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"I guess there's nothing to do until Khary, Bill and Charlie return." Daemon said when he contained his laughter and turned seriously to Dumbledore. "Why don't you tell me all about this Lord Voldemort."
"Lord Voldemort was born Tom Marvolo Riddle.........." Daemon, Aaron and Chaosti sat back and prepared for a long night.
