Chapter One: Silent Capability

Aniko Ensile Dumbledore Black sat silently on the grassy plains that surrounded Hogwarts. A thick red and gold bound book lay open on her lap. The pages turned effortlessly in the chilling wind. She just stared out at the black lake, its dark shade luring her in and tempting her to drown. Aniko pulled her mind from the black waters to the open page in her lap. She peered down to read the honey stained pages. A spell lay upon them, a Polyjuice potion that would come in handy, but not now. She slammed the book shut, stood from the soggy ground and headed up the hill toward Hogwarts. Aniko walked silently down the halls of Hogwarts. Ani was a short girl, with ebony black hair, sapphire blue eyes, and a tattoo on her left forearm. She breezed passed the empty classrooms towards to the Great Hall. They were silent and showed no signs of the rowdy children that were once there.

An old friend of the family had just told her grave news. Aniko had a score to settle now - this was a fight she wasn't going to lose. When she reached the heavy wood doors she took a breath and her happy demeanor disappeared to the serious, don't mess with me one. She strode into the room filling it with her light. The five other powers where there already, and each backed away from a hunched over man. Black stood over him and raised his chin with her finger. When his eyes met hers he quickly looked away. He shuttered under the weight of her sorrow. Aniko looked at the once glorious Prince.

She smiled weakly, which quickly faded into a grim line. She knew what he had done, and what was to happen. This man was a Mage of Darkness and she was the Guardian of Light and his final judger. She took one look into his eyes and muttered two words. The prince fell to the floor his body lifeless and cold. The black soul lingered in the air the got sucked up into Aniko's charm bracelet. His life was gone and destroyed. She turned on her heels and lifted her hood. Aniko Black was not someone you wanted to mess with. The wind bellowed in amongst her cape as she headed for the heavy wooden doors.

Ani woke from her dream with a scream. The heavy bed drapes hung around her, it was almost the end of her first month in her sixth year at Asvoria and she was still having insanely weird dreams about the future. She pushed back the covers and jumped to the floor. Aniko pulled on her black capris, white collared shirt, sliver and white tie, strappy heels and headed to the mirror to do her black hair. Her curls sat wildly on her head, exploding in every direction. Ani grabbed the hot iron and pin straightened each strand. She charcoaled her blue eyes, which made them look even darker then normal. With one last look in the golden mirror she headed for the Great Hall. The sunlight flowed into the room full of loud, clamming students. The thick ebony and ivory wood tables glistened like jewels in the morning sunlight. Despite the sun and the students, sitting in the window seat farthest away from the mass of people was Aniko Black. Ani sat silently, dreaming about how to cut the pain in her heart. Her straightened black bangs fell into her eyes as she looked down at her novel. The cold stone pressed against her back, sending a chill down her spine. Sitting three tables away from Aniko were her four best friends.

Jade Potter, who was tall and slender with golden blonde hair and bright green eyes. She was in Luminus, the same house as Ani. Her powers were Gaia, the powers of the earth and Jade was the Guardian of Earth. Then there was Aniko's crush, or sort of crush, Peris Evans. Evans was tall, well muscled, and had fire red hair which he choose to wear in a shag cut. His favorite accessories were his emo-punk bracelets and his black eye liner, which he didn't wear too much of, but still fitted his style. When Peris smiled his amber coloured eyes smiled too. Rufus Ludwig was a shorter boy with boyish good looks that were angelic. He was the brain of their operation. Rufus' eyes were dark hazel and normally had curly chestnut brown hair that was dyed violet/black and fell into his eyes. His bangs had been permanently straightened by a potion he had created. Rufus now had every girl paying for his spell and he had mega cash in his bank. Lastly, there was Darius Padwinston. He was very good-looking, very tall and very Angel like. His bangs were long, angled to the side and blonde. The rest of his hair was cut into long black spikes and his eyes were the most vibrant emerald green. Darius was the only one in a house that matched his powers. Darius was the Guardian of Air and was in the house of Aura. Like the Air, Darius could enter a room silently, making no noise or making frenzy with every step he took. Peris and Darius sat staring at Ani hoping to make her mad so she would come over in a huff to join them. To their dismay, it didn't work and they eventually gave up all together. Aniko looked up from her book and peered around the Great Hall. She noticed the P6 weren't sitting together; which rarely ever happened. The P6 were the six princes of Lareeum that were in line for thrones. This elite group included Constantine Malfoy, Prince of Darkness and head boy of the house of Stygian; Cedric Padwinston, Prince of Air; Bailey Potter, Prince of Fire; London Evans, Prince of Earth; Phillip Lysndire, Prince of Water; and Chaos Regulus Dumbledore Black, Imperial Crown Prince of Light and next Emperor of Lareeum.

Chaos was gorgeous! He was sitting in the far corner of the room with his close friends. His hair was growing out and his blonde was fading into ebony. His bangs angled into his layered shag hair cut. His ice blue eyes shone with happiness and his well-defined body could be vaguely seen under his uniform. Chaos always had hordes of girls falling for him; he was the best looking guy in all of Lareeum. Chaos was Aniko's twin. They were like Ebony and Ivory, but shared the same perfectly straight nose. Black was sitting with every one else in the P6 expect for Cedric and Constantine. Aniko closed her book and headed down the hall to her first class. She caught up with Jade, Peris, Darius, and Rufus. These five were known as the M5. Know one really knew how they came up with it. They had the name the Marauders and there were 5 of them. Some student probably came up with it.

They entered the classroom, which was a large room with an even bigger stained glass dome on top in place of a roof. Jade and Ani went to sit with Ginger Godrey, and Melina Weasley. They were the only other two girls in the whole school that were Aniko and Jade's good friends. The two sat down and prepared themselves for their first real lesson in Reverieology, which was looking into dreams and past memories to see their fears. In Chaos's opinion it was a was of time. The room was in a frenzy of chatter when the oddly dressed mage entered in a fury of bewilderment. Professor Quaird was the weirdest woman anyone had seen. She looked like a picture perfect odd-mage. Layers upon layers of fabric, weird scarf hats, beads everywhere and an optimistic persona, which drove Aniko insane. The woman was never sad, how could someone never be sad.

"Sit my students, please." Spoke Quaird. Her dream-like voice bellowed from the center of the room. The room was like a stadium, but on each level there was a long, large circular table and puffy chairs. This classroom was huge because all the sixth year students had this class together, which at times was a little hectic. Melina, Ginger, Jade and Aniko sat in their normal middle level seats and took their binders and textbooks out of their bags. Each student fell back into the full stuffed chairs and gazed up at the moving stained glass roof. Quaird's voice passed in a burr though their minds, just as Aniko and the others were sinking into daydreams. The room went black and images came around them. Aniko could no longer see anyone around her. In her Reverie, Aniko was in a room that was dark, large, and empty. Two people fell though a flowing purple curtain. One was a man in a long black cape with curly black hair and black eyes. The other was a woman in a black cape with her face hidden behind a hood. Both had wands pointing at each other, and were using incredibly simple spells that Aniko had learned in her 3rd and 4th years. The women yelled something that, in an Airad world, was an unforgivable curse. The man fell to his knees as the spell flung from her wand hit him in a blast of light. The woman left though the curtain and let out a shrill laugh. When she looked blankly at the man, all Ani could hear was a boy yelling,

"He CAN'T BE DEAD!" Suddenly there was a light, and her mother's caped form came out of that light. She reached down and whispered to the man. As her magic seeped from her long slender finger she whispered, "Sirius, my love. It's not your time to go yet. So come back." The man changed into a black dog and with that her mother and the dog were gone. In a flash of light, the vision went black and a voice cheered at her though the darkness.

"ANIKO! Wake up you freaking dork!" It was a very pissed Jade. When Ani slowly opened her eyes she was pulling her up out of the chair and out to their next class. The girls talked about their dreams. It was really cool how they were all different, but when it was Aniko's turn to share she said she wasn't up to it, and just disappeared leaving three sixth years yelling into the empty air in the north hallway.

Aniko Black was sitting on the cold, stone roof of Luminus Tower looking out at the Nereid Water dome, with a bottle of Vodka. Aniko was drinking it back when she had finally figured out who the man was. He was her father, Sirius Black, and the boy that was screaming, was his beloved godson. Hate and distain filled Aniko and lead her to drink more leading her into a very dark spiral. How could he love him? Why did he never know I was alive? Why did he never love ME? She thought sitting on the cold roof, far above the ground below. She stood drunkenly and thought in slurred words, "I..Hay..Hay..Hate..H..H..Im." Aniko got to close to the edge of the roof and yelled out years of pent up energy out.

"DADDY! YOU JERK, I HATE YOU! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME!"

Aniko slipped on the wet roof tiles and fell. All she saw was gray shingles disappearing above her. Aniko reached out and hung from the rain gutter, tears falling from her eyes. She let go of the vodka bottle and it fell, tumbling to the ground below. Aniko listen for the sound of smashing glass. Ani looked towards the sky, "No sun," she thought. She then closed her eyes and let go. Time passed so slowly as she watched the gutter disappear. "Is this the end?" Ani thought as the wind whipped around her. She finally got words to come out of her mouth as she sped toward the ground.

"DADDY! WHY WON'T YOU SAVE ME? WHY WON'T YOU LOVE ME? DDAADDDDYY! HELP ME!"
