Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
A/N: I have decided to go back to using Scarlet and Izzy as Janette and Hermione's names (respectively). Also I had writers block…sorry.
BTW: My insane friends think that Oliver Wood is FING gorgeous. They also think his accent is hot, 'the hottest thing ever' and 'if we were boys we would have boners'. Yeah……
Read and Review!
Enjoy!
Chapter 12: Rescue
Recap:
They all talked for a while before Janette cooked dinner—with magic.
Now:
Dinner ended and the teens, besides Izzy, went back to their cottages. They had all been instructed to call the two by their real names, Scarlet and Izzy. During dinner, the group discussed all the disappearances and the killings that had been going on recently as well as Voldemort's rise. The group also learned about the Order of the Phoenix and Scarlet promised to try to persuade Dumbledore to let the others join.
As soon as Scarlet was sure no one was listening to her, she threw some floo powder in the fireplace and started to talk to Albus.
"Really, Albus, you must see reason…"
"No, Scarlet, they are under age, I can not stop them when they turn of age AND graduate but no sooner will they be able to join. What if they die, it'll be, and, it'll be a tragedy that they never got to complete their newts."
"Albus, they are all of age, have been since the middle of July. James turned 17 on January 28, Sirius on March 15, Remus on April 29, Peter on February 18, and Jessie turned 17 on June 20. They are all of age and I will be damned if they have to sit around waiting."
"Scarlet, James' mother does not want her son to join until he has finished school and I bet Mr. Black and the rest will wait with James."
"Fine, you win this round but I will train them-more advanced training. Oh and is there any way we can get Lucius out of that hell hole called The Noble Manor of Malfoy?"
"Yes, but it'll be dangerous, not to mention very Slytherin-y."
"Well, bring it on old man."
The night brought a cold rain and a loud thunder. The lightning flashed and danced through the sky before every roll of thunder. The birds had taken shelter in the bushes tonight, for fear of being burnt by a lightning bolt in a tree. A small chipmunk scurried across a stone path in an elegant rose garden. In front of the garden stood a manor. The manor reeked of darkness that one could almost drown in if they were not careful.
On the east side of the house, a candle flickered out as the occupants of the room settled down for bed. The Master and Lady of the house had gone to bed for the night and the house elves moved around quietly, cleaning up after the party.
The party had been to celebrate the engagement of on Lucius Abraxas Tiernan (Regal) Quinn (Wise) Malfoy and Narcissa Abrianna (Noble, virtuous) Raine (Queen) Black. To say the couple had been displeased through out the evening was a gross understatement. When they were alone, all they did was fight about getting married.
On the west side of the Manor, a lone light shone through one of the windows. Lucius sat on his bed in front of the fireplace, staring into it, brooding. All of a sudden, the flames turned green and Narcissa Black stepped out wearing only a short white silk nightdress that barely covered her. Lucius merely raised an eyebrow at her chosen out fit but scooted over to give her room to sit on the bed.
"Hey"
"Hi." After that exchange of pleasantries, the couple sat in silence, contemplating what they were going to do. Well, Lucius was thinking about the day he was told that he would marry Narcissa.
Flash Back:
January 3, 1977
"Master Lucius" Tiny the house elf squeaked, "Lord and Lady Malfoy request your presence in the drawing room by their bedroom."
Lucius walked down the hall and up the steps and across the many rooms to get to the east side of the house from where he was on the west side, after he had dismissed the house elf. He reached the drawing room and knocked twice. When the door opened, he stepped in and was surprised to see Cygnus Black and Druella Rosier Black sitting on one of the black leather couches with their youngest daughter Narcissa.
Abraxas Tiberius Malfoy cleared his throat and started to talk, "In a month, on February 3, you will turn 17. You are of age then and a marriage was secured at birth for you. You will marry Narcissa, she has already agreed and it will be after you both graduate. Hopefully you will not disgrace any of us and get married." Lucius was shocked so much so that all he could do was nod his head in affirmative that he would marry the youngest Black daughter. When they got back to school just days later, all they did was fight.
End Flash Back.
Now she was sitting on his bed with him, planning their escape from the Dark Arts. They discussed possible escape plans but each time they shot it down before it was completed. By 3 am, they were growing tired and losing hope. They had already succumbed to the idea of getting married (the contract had been signed in blood) but now they wanted to get away, far away, somewhere where they wouldn't be recognized and judged as if they were their parents.
A tapping noise was heard at the window. At first they thought it was an owl but on second glance they noticed that the noise was louder and didn't last as long. They walked to the window, cautiously; both drew their wands and looked out the window. From their place on the second story, they noticed five dark figures, one throwing small stones at the window.
The rain had stopped a while ago but the windows were still wet. Lucius waved his wand and the window opened abruptly. "Who are you? What do you want?"
The tallest one stepped forward and spoke, "We are here to help you, my name is Scarlet Gray, and these are my friends, Marlene McKinnon, Caradoc Dearborn, Mundungus Fletcher, and Dorcas Meadows. Please, we must hurry, grab the essentials and let's go." Narcissa went to the dresser that held all of her clothes since their parents wanted them to share a room. Lucius took out two small trunks and they shrunk their clothes, books, school equipment, and personal effects before conjuring a rope and climbing out the window. Once they were on the ground, Lucius pulled the room down and vanished it. Then he closed the window using magic and he and Narcissa walked over to the five figures standing in the darkness. Scarlet pulled out a port key. They all touched it and before they knew it, they were on a beach.
I know it's short but bear with me, I have a severe case of writers block so any suggestions are helpful at this time.
