SHOUT OUTS:

Chapter 5

Daemon, Chaosti and Aaron all sat up in their beds and talked about what they had been told the night before. After being taken to their room, they had stayed up late the night before and woken up early in the morning to talk about Lord Voldemort. "I feel sorry for poor Harry." Daemon said as he leaned back against the headboard of the bed.
"I know what you mean." Chaosti said as he laid back down with his arms under his head and stared at the ceiling. "First Voldemort killed his parents, then his godfather."
"Don't forget the different times that Voldemort has tried to kill Harry himself." Aaron said.
"I know." Daemon answered. "Poor kid."
"What do you think Jaenelle will say?" Chaosti asked Daemon.
"Jaenelle was really looking forward to building a friendship with this new territory." Daemon answered. "Plus both girls really want to stay. I'm pretty sure that the girls will be staying."
"That's what I thought." Chaosti said.
"What time do you think it is?" Aaron asked as he looked out the window and saw how high the sun was in the sky.
"I don't know." Daemon replied as he got out of bed. "But we should head downstairs now."

As the three men headed downstairs they were met at the foot of the stairs by Mrs. Weasley: "Good morning Daemon. Good morning Chaosti. Good morning Aaron"
"Good morning Mrs. Weasley." The three men answered.
"Where are the girls?" Daemon asked Mrs. Weasley.
"They went out back with the others." Mrs. Weasley answered. "I believe the boys were going to show them how to play Quidditch. Personally, I don't think that young ladies should be playing a sport as rough as Quidditch is but Ginny loves to play with her brothers and Harry."
"You've never met Raya and Lilandra." Chaosti said with a smile. "I feel sorry for the boys if they are going to play any sport against those two. They can take on any male and usually come out victorious."
*Of course they rarely play fair though.* Chaosti added and Daemon and Aaron both smiled.
BANG! (Got to love sound effects.)
All three men looked at each other and followed Mrs. Weasley as she ran toward the back of the house.
"Mother Night!" All three men exclaimed under their breath as the reached the back door and saw what greeted them. Raya and Lilandra had wrapped sight shields around themselves, Ginny and Hermione. All four young women were taunting the four Weasley's and Harry.
"Ron, where are the girls?" Mrs. Weasley asked as she looked around the backyard and saw no sign of the girls.
"That's what we'd like to know mom." Ron replied as Raya flew in a circle around him and caused a small tornado to build up around him.
"They were whispering together as we walked out the door and then all of a sudden they were gone." Fred replied as Lilandra went up behind him and blew on his neck causing him to shiver.
"They're around here somewhere." George said as Ginny went up behind him and pushed him from behind. George fell face first onto the ground.
"We just can't see them." Harry said as Hermione followed Ginny's lead and pushed Harry down to the ground.
"HHEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!!!" The Weasley's and Harry gasped as Percy appeared to float into the air.
"Raya put him down!" Daemon scolded his niece.
"But Uncle Daaaeeemmmmoonn...." Everybody looked surprised as they heard Raya whining from behind Percy, but nobody could see her.
"And drop the sight shields." Daemon said. "Both of you!"
Everyone watched in amazement as Raya materialized holding Percy under his arms. "All right.." Raya said. "But we were having fun."
"I'm sure you were." Daemon said. "Lily, drop your sight shield now, and drop the sight shield that you have wrapped around Ginny and Hermione."
"AAAAHHHHH!!!" Harry and Ron screamed as Hermione and Ginny materialized standing just inches from their faces. Lilandra materialized standing next to her father as if she was completely innocent and she had nothing to do with what had just happened.
"Sorry Uncle Daemon." Raya said as she set Percy gently on the ground. "We just couldn't resist."
"Don't apologize to me." Daemon said as he looked from his niece to Percy. "Apologize to that young man."
"I'm sorry Percy." Raya said as she looked down at her shoes. "We shouldn't have done that."
"It's quiet all right." Percy said as he straightened his clothes and tried to ignore the fact that his brothers were all snickering behind their hands.
"Are you kids ready for lunch?" Mrs. Weasley asked trying to contain her amusement that someone had finally gotten the better of the twins.
"Yes!" All the Weasley's and their guest answered as they headed back into the house and towards the kitchen.
*Who's idea was it?* Daemon asked both Lilandra and Raya who pretended that Daemon had never entered their heads. *Girls!* Daemon tried again.
"So Mrs. Weasley," Lily said completely ignoring her father. "When do we start school?"
"Well," Mrs. Weasley said as she looked from Daemon to his daughter. "Assuming your mother allows you to stay. School starts a week from Monday, but you two will be arriving a week from today so that you will have the weekend to learn some of the basics that every witch and wizard learns early in life. You girls will be taking some extra classes so that you can catch up with stuff that you don't know."
"They're back." Daemon said as he looked out the window of the kitchen.
The Weasley's, Harry and Hermione looked out the window and were confused about who Daemon was talking about.
"I don't think that Bill and Charlie can move a group that large." Daemon continued.
"Who else came?" Raya asked her uncle as Mrs. Weasley figured out who Daemon was talking about and ran out of the kitchen and towards the living room.
"Daemonar, Falonar, Arian, Surreal, Sabrina, Gabrielle, Graysfang and Kae Askavi." Daemon replied as the group followed Mrs. Weasley into the living room. The five from Kaeleer were surprised to see Mr. Weasley's head in the fire.
"How many people came back with Bill and Charlie?" Mr. Weasley asked Daemon as he entered the living room.
"Six people, a wolf and an Arcerian cat." Daemon replied.
"So then I'll take five people aside from myself to help Bill and Charlie." Mr. Weasley said before opening his eyes wide and looking at Daemon in complete shock. "Did you say a wolf?"
"Yes." Daemon replied. "Will that be a problem?"
"Kae Askavi is bigger." Lilandra stated. "He's around eight hundred pounds."
"What's Kae Askavi?" Harry asked.
"He's a Arcerian cat." Raya said simply.
"A eight hundred pound cat!" Ron exclaimed. "That sounds more like a lion."
"I have to go so we can go pick up the newcomer." Mr. Weasley said as he head disappeared from the fire.
"Why did so many people come?" Harry asked Daemon.
"I'm not sure." Daemon replied. "We'll find out when they get here."

Ten minutes later everyone was gathered in the front yard waiting for the new group from Kaeleer to arrive. When the group arrived, every witch and wizard unconsciously took a few steps back. They all kept their eyes locked on Kae Askavi and Graysfang who noticed their discomfort and just ignored them. They walked up to Raya and Lilandra who started to pet them and wrapped their arms around the necks of two of the furry friends, regardless of the stares that they were receiving from all the witches and wizards.
"How was your trip?" Mrs. Weasley asked as she gave Bill and Charlie a hug but kept an eye on Kae Askavi and Graysfang.
"Fine." Khary replied smiling at Mrs. Weasley.
"Why are there so many of you here?" Daemon asked.
"Gabrielle wanted to come to check on Chaosti because of what happened when we were attacked and Lucivar felt that having a Healer in the group would be a beneficial. Surreal and Sabrina are here to check out the girls dormitories along with Gabrielle. Falonar, Arian and Daemonar are supposed to check the outside of the school for any weak spots. Kae Askavi and Graysfang are supposed to stay with the girls while we check the school."
"Jaenelle's idea?" Aaron asked as Gabrielle went over and started checking Chaosti.
"Sort of." Khary replied. "Daemonar wasn't about to let us leave without him, Graysfang and Kae Askavi volunteered and Lucivar picked the rest."
"Oh." Daemon said as he looked at his oldest nephew.
"After what those did to Chaosti and aftet what the Death Eaters told my sister, did you really think that I'd stay behind?" Daemonar asked with one arm around his cousin and the other around his sister.
"You told them what the Death Eaters said." Daemon replied looking at Khary. "I'm surprised Lucivar didn't come along with you."
"You're the only person he trust more than himself to see that the girls are safe and someone had to stay behind to take care of Jaenelle and your families." Khary replied.
"All right." Daemon said turning to Mr. Weasley. "When can we check the school?"
"I'll have to owl Dumbledore." Mr. Weasley said. "I'm sure you could start tonight."
"Feel free to use Hedwig." Harry called after Mr. Weasley who had began to run to the house.
"Thank you Harry." Mr. Weasley called over his shoulder as he entered his house.
*We shall stay with Raya and Lilandra.* Graysfang said on a communication thread that everyone from Kaeleer heard.
"If it is all right with you Uncle Daemon, I would like to stay with the girls." Daemonar said.
"You're suppose to help me secure the school." Daemon said
"Falonar and Arian will be able to secure the school just fine without me." Daemonar replied. "Besides, you may have forgotten what time of the month it is, but I haven't."
"What are you talking about?" Daemon asked. Slowly it began to dawn on everyone in the group what time of the month it was and the men let out a low growl that shocked the witches and wizards present. "Your right. I don't think we should be leaving the girls right now."
"We'll be fine." Lilandra said when she realized that both Raya's and her moontime would be starting soon. "Look, Daemonar can stay, but we don't need a large group following us around everywhere."
"Would you like for me to take the girls to Diagon Alley to get their things for school?" Mrs. Weasley asked a bit confused as to what her guest were talking about. "We were planning on spending a few days there to show the girls around and get them used to what they will be surrounded by for the rest of the year."
"I'm not sure that I want the girls to leave the safety of the house right now." Daemon responded.
"We'll be fine dad." Lilandra stated. "Besides, we need to buy our school supplies and school starts in a week."
"All right." Daemon said. "But you two are NOT to leave Daemonar's side and Kae Askavi and Graysfang will go with you to Diagon Alley."
"Kae Askavi and Graysfang might scare people at Diagon Alley." Hermione said.
"I need them to be nearby so incase they're needed." Daemon said "How about if they go with you but they stay in your rooms so they don't cause an uproar. That way if something happens they're close by."
"Fair enough." Lilandra said.
Everyone looked up as they saw a white owl fly overhead. "There goes Hedwig." Harry said. "She must on her way to Dumbledore's."
"Is that how you send letters?" Raya asked Harry as she watched the owl fly away.
"Yes." Harry replied.
"No wonder my mom was surprised by receiving our letters." Lilandra said
"Why don't we leave for Diagon Alley tomorrow?" Mrs. Weasley asked aware of the fact that Daemon and everyone else from Kaeleer wanted the girls home as soon as possible.
"That's fine." Daemon said. "How much money do you think the girls will need? Will this be enough to cover everything?" Daemon asked as he pulled some gold out of his pocket. "If not we have more in my bag up in my room."
"That will be more than enough." Mrs. Weasley said as everyone's eyes grew wide.
"Good afternoon everyone." Dumbledore said as he appeared out of nowhere.
"Hedwig must be faster than I thought." Harry said.
"Excuse me?" Dumbledore asked.
"Hedwig left a few minutes ago to deliver a letter to you." Harry replied.
"She must have just missed me than." Dumbledore said. "I just received a letter from Lilandra's mother. She has told me that you will be checking the school over." Dumbledore said looking at Daemon.
"Yes." Daemon replied. "My wife has also sent a few more friends to help with securing the school."
"She has told me that." Dumbledore replied. "She has also come up with a plan to check up on the girls once a week without anyone becoming to suspicious."
"What's that?" Lilandra asked.
"It's actually to remain a secret until school starts." Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes. "Your mom wants to surprise you."
*I don't know about that look.* Raya said to Lilandra. *It reminds me of whenever our parents get together and plan something that we aren't going to like.*
*I'll bet your dad's involved to.* Lily replied.
"Would you like to leave for Hogwart's now?" Dumbledore asked turning to Daemon. "We can't apparate to Hogwart's, but the Hogwart's express can be at Platform 9 3/4 in one hour."
"That's fine." Daemon replied "Daemonar, Graysfang, and Kae Askavi will stay with the Lily and Raya. The rest of you will help me secure Hogwart's."

As they got ready to leave Daemon turned to Lily, Raya and Daemonar: "You three had better behave yourselves. Mrs. Weasley shouldn't have to worry about any of the Triple Threats antics."
"Of course dad." Lily replied as she hugged her father and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I mean it Lily!" Daemon exclaimed "Especially right now. You and Raya will be limited to basic craft so you won't be able to defend yourselves like you have in the past when you've pushed someone to far."
"Will be fine dad." Lily replied. "We have Daemonar, Kae Askavi and Graysfang. They'll take good care of us. Plus do we think we'd be dumb enough to get someone that mad at us when we can't defend ourselves."
"None of your harmless practical jokes either." Daemon said
"All right." Lily said "We'll see you on Friday afternoon."
"Remember what I said." Daemon said as he walked towards Bill. "BEHAVE!!"
"We will." All three cousins said in unison.
*Unless someone else starts it.* Lily said to Raya and Daemonar as her father and friends disappeared. Raya and Daemonar looked at Lilandra and smiled.
