A/N: ok this chapter will deal with a few reactions and I would like to know if you wish to know what had finally broken Karkaroff…

Beside that, good time to start writing the chapter because they are showing the fourth movie on the television at the current moment and just on Wednesday we went to see the first part of the VIIth movie …

XIV. The bonds we forge to unite

It was two days after the events second task and the school was still bussing from excitement about the happenings while eagerly awaiting what will be the last one, well the champions liked it more that they could relax. The same went also for Harry who was firstly glad that for the time being, he was allowed to relax somewhat and was eagerly awaiting they next Hogsmeade weekend where he could met Sirius, this was enough to get his thoughts even away to investigate further on the case of the fourth school.

Thought that didn't mean in the slightest way that said school didn't continue they own investigations to find the Innocence and some other things.

Lenalee was making her way through the gardens to meet up with they new charge. Personally she liked the idea to have one girl more in the Order and she would certainly be in good care under Allen-kun's command. They still needed to find the Innocence which seemed well hidden, but the frequent Akuma attacks showed that it was still there, but there were also other duties to be done. Finally spotting the girl in question standing slightly leaning against a tall tree, putting up a smile on to her lips she made her way to the other. In a way she found it unjust to drag her in to they war with them, but she had chosen and Allen-kun would certainly do everything to keep her as safe as it was possible in they current situation.

"Hello Pansy." she greeted the dark haired Slytherin smiling whom offered her a little smile in return, still getting used as to how to act around people who weren't either Slytherin or her professors.

"Hello Lenalee, so what will we do today?" she asked with light curiosity, these people were pretty interesting talking to.

"We will go through the magic we have or better the special magic the people in our school posses, or better the ones of us who are currently here." she explained while grabbing her arm and leading her away. Neither of them noticed thought that they were followed by five certain male Slytherins.

"I can't believe that Pansy decided to leave us here for that school." Blaize scowled from they hiding spot behind a soil, damn it would be so much easier if it would be already spring.

"We will miss her." stated Goyle while Crabbe nodded.

"Come guys, we will loose them and I want to know a bit more about that place where Pansy is going, we are Slytherin and thus stick together and seeing that we have no clue about what this school really is we need every information to know that she will be fine." Nott said while dragging Draco with himself who tried to refuse of course, but well he also was worried about Pansy.

They followed the two girls for nearly twenty minutes through the melting snow while trying to not be seen by them. Then by the lake they finally stopped and sat down by the railing with a good view at the Durmstrang ship.

"So, now that we are here we can start, whose magic would you like to know first?" Lenalee asked as they were both seated with the guys not far behind them in they hiding spots.

"Um…if it isn't a bother I would first like to hear about yours." Pansy said to the other girl while looking at the lake. Lenalee nodded as she stood up. "What are you doing?" Pansy asked suddenly as the other smiled at her, then jumped, making the other gasp first in shock and then in surprise as the other girl was suddenly floating in front of her with green flames surrounding the butterfly like wings on the back of her shoes, her winter jacked was hiding her changed boots.

"My magic lies in flight without a broom or any other help." Lenalee explained smiling as she twirled around floating over the water so that the water whirled up and spiraled around her body, and doing one or two rounds before landing gracefully landing beside the other.

"That was…amazing" the young witch was really lost for words, this was the first time she saw someone fly without a broom.

"Thanks, so who is next?" Lenalee asked while behind them the five boys were still gapping in shock at that what they have just seen.

"Well, what about the twins? Draco is always mumbling in panic about them." at this the Chinese girl only giggled while the boys were staring eagerly at them finally wanting to know what they blonde friend's problem was.

"Jasdevi, that is how Debitto and Jasdero like to call themselves posses a rare magic, much rarer then that what we others posses." she said in a slightly cryptic voice while her gaze swept to the pale blue sky, she would explain the real truth later.

"What do you mean by that?" Pansy asked as a slight wind blew past them making everyone feel somewhat uneasy.

"That special magic is their family heirloom, it is passed down in the blood of they family." she finished before becoming more cheerful again. "Each family member has a specialty to them, they have each a name for they skill. "at this Pansy remembered Professor Camelot telling her that his brother was good in using controlling charms, could that have been his special magic? "the twins call they magic "Bonds" they can transfigure anything they think about out of thin air." at this threw the four Slytherin boys a pitying look at Draco, now clearly understanding that what the other mumbled about in the Hospital Wing was true. "Professor Camelot's power is also special he can in a way become like a ghost and just walk through things, his sister Lulubell is a master in human transfiguration, she can become anything she wants in a short time, Wisely's power is that of Ligllemense, but slightly different because he can view in to others memories like in a Pensive and even send others in to them "she was happy that Allen told her what that type of magic was called "Road's is similar in some way as to that of the twins and they aunt plus slightly like Wisely's, actually her magic is not that easy to explain. You should ask Allen later about that, and yes that leaves only him from they family who is here, he still has three uncles and three cousins in our school."

"He seems to have a large family like the Weasleys." she said with a little distaste, Allen and his family WERE way better then those loud mouthed redheads.

"True, but it can get slightly chaotic if they are all together, but they are a loving family who protect each other, mostly Allen who had the hardest life from all of them." Lenalee explained trying to hold the bitterness from her tone, it seemed to work or the other didn't bother mentioning it. "I fear your friend Draco has found that out on the hard way." she smiled apologetically while the male foursome looked again to the blonde while shaking they heads.

"I fear the same." she answered with a little smile, she was really starting to enjoy these little talks with these people.

"Well then, Allen-kun's magic is also more special in some ways. You could already see some of it when he fought that dragon."

"That was really impressive." Blaize mumbled in they hiding spot.

"His magic is probably the strongest in they family, his greatest specialty lyes thought in music. By the last task did he use resonations to stay under water for such a long time." Lenalee explained before they moved on to the others to which Pansy listened carefully while the boys only stared in shock at them and also curiosity.

At the same time was Cedric walking slightly nervously, but still excited beside Allen. He didn't understand this strange feeling when the other had come to him to fulfill his promise to show him the Tease. The way wasn't that far, but still had Cedric the strange feeling that with each step they got closer to the Ark his feet felt strangely heavy and his heart was pounding in his chest.

"So, we are here." said Allen's soft voice, breaking Cedric out of his thoughts.

"Yeah." he answered while offering a little smile, but still standing now here in front of the large glowing door was he slowly overflowed by a strange ominous feeling.

"Then come." Allen told him with a gentle smile as he took the other by the arm and pulled him inside the Ark. The light was first somewhat blinding and Cedric needed to close his eyes, but as he opened them again had his breath left him.

They were standing in the most beautiful city he had ever seen, the white walls gleamed in the bright sunlight. It was as if they would be walking in a separated dimension and maybe they even were. Passing through long streets was the young Hogwarts champion overcome by the feeling as if he would be trespassing through some ancient place filled with magic to which they could never even compare and now as he looked at Allen standing there in front of him with that gentle smile was it as is all this powerful magic would be floating around him like a protective cloak.

Just who were the people of Rose Cross truly…

…but all of his thoughts were broken when they reached a large field with lush green grass and many brightly colored flowers. Stepping from the white marble street in to the green field left a gasp his lips as suddenly from between the flowers hundred of raven black butterflies flew up in the air around them.

"They are beautiful." Cedric gasped as the creatures flew around them. Holding a hand out he watched as one of them landed gracefully on the back of his out held hand. "Uhm…they have eaten, have they?" he asked slightly hesitantly at which Allen let out a little laugh which held some sort of pleasant melody to it.

"Don't worry, my brother never misses to feed them in time so that they won't attack anyone." he reassured the older boy with an amused expression.

"I see." suddenly there were two pair of steps to be heard nearing them through the grass making them turn around.

"See, there they are hee." said a happy male voice as the two figures come in to sight and they were also noticed. "A…Allen…" Jasdero stuttered in surprise by the sight of his brother before looking like a kid who got caught by doing something wrong by a parent, well in a way it was true because he brought someone to the Ark without a Players allowance.

"It is fine Dero." Allen said smiling before turning to the blonde beside his brother. "I think you and your companion should come nearer so that you could see the Tease better." he suggested reassuringly.

At this Jasdero looked happy as he run up to his brother hugging him before mentioning the girl over to them while the black butterflies still flew around them like black colored snowflakes.

"They are really pretty creatures." the young blonde said in a dreamy voice as one of the Tease landed on her out held hand. Cedric could only nod in agreement to that statement, still feeling mesmerized by the whole scene so he failed to notice the two brothers making a little distance between them before starting to speak in a language death to human ears since three millennia.

"She was your date to the Yule Ball, if I remember correctly." Allen stated in a calm tone while his brother tried to hide a little blush.

"Yes, her name is Luna Lovegood and she is a third year Ravenclaw. She is pretty nice and intelligent, but not many people like her because of her being slightly strange hee." Jasdero explained at which Allen nodded in understanding as he recalled where he had already seen those eyes and herd that name.

"Her father was in the same year as Mana had been, he was also somewhat odd at times, but in prospect to what our family tends to be like was he harmless with his beliefs in creatures which's existence still didn't got proven. Well at least not for the magical people." he replied with a chuckle. Mana had been clearly fond of Xenophillius Lovegood and always tried to have an eye on him, thought the man was pretty good in ignoring those who have been badmouthing him because of his beliefs. His gaze then traveled back to they two guests when he noticed something which made him blink at first before his smile returned. "Ah, this is a surprise." he suddenly said with a smirk.

"What is it hee?" Dero asked curiously while tilting his head to the side.

"That girl belongs to you Bondomu while Cedric is Mightra's." he stated at which the blonde started grinning in pure glee. Both Allen and Neah smiled at the others childish happiness seeing that it was easy to notice that he started liking the girl and the knowledge that she bore the genes of the 10th and 11th Disciple of Noah was even more strengthening this liking. It might seem that there is a chance that they would be returning home with more new people then only one.

With this they had also ended they little conversation and returned to they guests, if they were already here maybe a little tour through the Ark wouldn't be so bad.

It was clearly always a breathtaking sight to behold…

Mad-Eye Moody or at least the one they thought him to be was making his way hurriedly in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, he needed to inform his Master about the latest happenings. The success of they plan which involved the last Task was bound to his Master coming up with a plan to eliminate the new school and mostly they champion. But seeing that Karkaroff was currently or better his corpse which he had turned in to a match was laying hidden in the trunk hiding the real Alostor Moody showed it that he and his beliefs alone weren't enough to take down even one of them. He had found the other man this morning while patrolling the school, face twisted in a way someone looked after casting Avada Kedavra. An interesting way of suicide might he ad and in a way was he glad that, that fateless dog was no more, but he knew what drove him to this in the end. No one saw it, but only him because he had hidden cleverly everything behind Disillusion Charms. He had seen his many failed attempts to find a way inside the Ark, the strange delirious nightmares which seemed to always plague him succeeded after the second Task to finally break his mind. And that strange message he left behind written with something he didn't doubt was the man's own blood.

"The Devil exists and he is now amongst us, we all should beware form the bleeding cross."

Just what in the name of the Dark Lord could that message have meant? He shuddered as the memories of those shadows, could he meant that by the "devil", no then it would have been in plural and just what was meant by "beware from the bleeding cross"?

He was not certain, but his Lord needed to know about these things.

Oh, how lucky he was that he hadn't witnessed what the other had seen.

While he was slipping away between the large trees of the forest were meanwhile the four Heads of House sitting inside the Headmasters office in a deep discussion.

"Headmaster with all due respect, wouldn't it have been important to have me present or at least informed beforehand when you allowed the transfer of one of the students in my House to a school about which you seemed to be the only one knowing?" Snape asked with a clenched voice while trying to stay calm, it helped somewhat when McGonagall placed her hand atop of his.

"This time I need to agree with Severus on this matter Albus. Miss Parkinson is still a member of his House so you had no right to decide things without at least asking him about his option." Minerva stated in a firm tone, one she used when scolding one of her students.

"Fillius and I are the same option on this Headmaster." Professor Sprout said while the Charm's professor nodded eagerly seeing that one of his Raven's also liked to spend her time unusually much with those particular students. The headmaster listened carefully to the complains of his colleagues before holding his hand up to silence them.

"I can certainly understand your doubts, but I need to ask you as to not to worry, I'm certain that Miss. Parkinson will be fine there." Dumbledore said reassuringly.

"And how should we know that she will be fine there by those people?" Minerva asked as her hand tightened around Severus's. Even thought that girl was a Slytherin, she knew how much the man whose hand she was currently holding cared for his students.

"I think that the fact that they champion happens to be Mana Walker's son and his family members are also here shows that Miss Parkinson will be in good hands." at this could no one actually make any type of objection seeing that they all could still clearly remember just what kind of person Mana walker had been. "If there are no other objections then can I interest any of you in a lemon drop?" Dumbledore asked with his eyes twinkling as he held out a little sack to his colleagues from which both Heads of Slytherin and Gryffindor only rolled they eyes while the Heads of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw exchanged unsure glances as how to answer.

Lenalee was making her way calmly back to her room after finishing her talking session with Pansy. They were surprisingly quick through they schedule and even moved through with the two main types of "magic" defensive and offensive. After that they had even time to talk about more private things like they hobbies, likes and dislikes. It was certainly fun with the other and she was sure that Pansy had also enjoyed herself, she was opening up somewhat.

She had just walked through the first street of the Ark when her eyes suddenly on the four people nearing her and only two were belonging to they group.

"Hello Lenalee, you are already back?" Allen asked smiling while the others also greeted her.

"Yes, I have just arrived." she said while eyeing the two guests.

"I have promised Cedric some time ago that I would show him the Tease and the Ark after the second task and Dero thought that Luna would also like them." Cedric watched curiously as the Chinese girl's eyes softened suddenly, her whole expression loosing that suspiciousness she showed a few seconds ago, posture relaxing.

"Ah, I see, when you have decided to show them everything Allen-kun then it is fine." she said smiling at which Cedric felt again confused, but then he remembered how Allen's cousin acted when he spotted Allen and only brightened when the other seemed in a way to give him permission to bring Luna closer. Could it be that his first assumption that this whole place was in a way linked to the white haired boy correct?

"I think we should now be heading back, it is soon time for curfree and this is the time when the winged Snurkles like to come out and play bad pranks on those still up." Luna said dreamily before turning to the blonde Noah beside her. "Thanks for inviting me here Dero, it was fun." she said smiling before kissing the other on the check. "Thanks you also Allen, good night." and with that was she gone.

"I'm also heading back and thanks again for the invite." Cedric said as he left after the girl while both Lenalee and Allen were smiling at a blushing Jasdero, Allen mostly because he knew what happened when one part of Bondomu felt something to strongly.

Somewhere inside the Forbidden Forest were both Tyki and Lavi staring questioningly at Debitto who seemed to have been frozen in to place while his hair matched the redhead Bookman's hair.

"What is then with him?" Lavi asked blinking while Tyki was snapping his fingers in front of his brother's face.

"Don't know, first time I see him that frozen down, but I have a plan." the Pleasure said smirking as he took out a little bottle, took down the top, opened the other's mouth and filled the liquid in to it.

"Uhm…Tyki, what are you giving him?" Lavi asked unsurely.

"Don't worry Bunny Boy, I know what I'm doing." Tyki answered smiling in amusement as his gaze fixed on his brother's face which suddenly turned pale and then green.

"UUUUAAAHHHH!" Debitto screamed, hands on his throat while he made gagging noises. "Tyki, you son of a bitch! WHY DID YOU MAKE ME AKUMA OIL!" he screamed in anger while the other only laughed.

"At least you are back now and we can continue our search for the Innocence and Akuma, come Bunny." Tyki said as he pulled Lavi with him further on to the woods.

"Hey, get back here you asshole!" Debi was still screaming, but was ignored.

At the same time was Pansy standing in front of the entrance to they common room, she had just arrived back from her time with Lenalee, that girl was really interesting company to have around. She was just around to name the password so that she could go sleeping when a door not far from her opened.

"Miss Parkinson?" she heard the silky voice of her Head of House ask, not many people knew that the man possessed also a soft tone.

"Yes, Professor Snape?" she asked while looking at the man standing in the door of his office.

"Miss. Parkinson are you certainly sure that you are whishing to transfer from Hogwarts to Rose Cross?" Snape asked allowing his tone to show a slight worry.

"Yes, I'm sure about my decision Professor." Pansy answered surely.

"I see, then you should go to sleep now Miss Parkinson, and should later on something that troubles you come up then feel free to owl me."

"Thank you Professor, good night."

"Good night Miss Parkinson." Snape replied nodding before Pansy entered the common room while he stayed for a few minutes standing in the hall before returning to his office.

To be continued…
