(*Updated Chapter)
"Serenity! Wake up!"
Serenity stirred as she felt hands shaking her to wake up. It was Christmas morning as Ron and Harry were around the Christmas tree. She finally woke up and yawned, rubbing her eyes as Valiant was nudging her to get up from the couch.
"Ahhh~ Merry Christmas you guys. Ok, ok I'm up Valiant! " She laughed as Valiant just wagged his tail, giving out a loud bark. They were looking at the abundance of presents that many belonged to other students, but a few were for them. Ron got a sweater from his mom with the letter R on the front. Harry and Serenity also got a present from Ron's mom and looked at him.
"Yeah...I told my mum about you guys and she thought it would be nice to give those to you." Harry got a sweater that was dark brown with a yellow H on it, while Serenity had a simple dark green with an S on in. It was a bit big on her as it covered her fingers and down to her knees. The boys laugh as she quickly took it off and said thanks to Ron.
Serenity ended up getting gifts from other students in Gryffindor, a few from Ravenclaw, a few from Hufflepuff, and most surprising was chocolate frogs from two girls in Slytherin. Most of them saying thanks for helping them in certain classes. When she would hang out in the library and other students would ask help from her, so she made friends quite fast in different houses. The gifts were small like a lollipop, some candy, a card, and such. Harry didn't give gifts nor did Serenity because they didn't know how to get such stuff at first until Ron later explained to them.
Serenity smiled as she got a small friendship bracelet from Hermione, and quickly placed it on her wrist. It was a simple bracelet that was woven together and seemed as if it took quite a bit of time.
As they were finished up Harry had a big present as Serenity sat next to Ron one one side, and Valiant on the other.
Harry got an invisibility cloak that was quite rare, as Ron put it, but the card with it didn't say much. Serenity reread the card as Ron and Harry were amazed the half of Harry's body was gone because of the cloak.
"Your father left this in my possession before he died. It is time it was returned to you. Use it well…"
"This is amazing!" Ron exclaimed as Valiant kept nudging his nose against harry, wondering what happened to him.
"What are you going to do with it?" Serenity asked.
"...I think it would be a good time to use it to go into the restricted section of the library."
"Harry! You can't be serious?" Serenity said, Ron tried to say it too but was too busy eating some candy he got from his mum.
"Well this may be my only chance to go."
"But...but..."
"Serenity, what's the worst that could happen?" He inquired as she looked down.
"...Just...be careful when you take a lamp and when you walk around the halls..." She leaned against Valiant as the boys just chatted away. She gave a deep sigh as she stared at them.
...Please be careful you guys...
"Hey Serenity, wanna play wizard chess with me?" Harry asked.
"Harry, Serenity doesn't like wizard chess that mu-"
"Actually...I wanna try." Serenity said with a smile as she came over to them to play. She wanted to make the most with her friends before she left. They played and of course Harry beat her, but she kept a happy face. They laughed and ate their sweets, even Valiant chased Ron for feeding him a mud flavored jelly bean. It was all good fun until later that night Harry snuck out. Serenity followed him with Valiant, thinking of a plan to help him out. Then she heard a crash in the library and quickly she ran out and heard the voices in the hallway.
"You don't want me to be your enemy Quirrell"
"I-I d-d-don't know what you mean."
"You know exactly what I meant..." There was a strange pause as Mr. Filch was running down the hall.
"We'll have another chat, and then we'll see where your loyalties lie-"
"I found this in the restricted section. It's still hot. That means there's a student out of bed." Serenity hid in the corner as she told Valiant to go back to her room. Of course he didn't, he just stood a little bit away from her. She peered the corner to see Professor Snape, Professor Quirell, and Mr. Filch splitting up in different directions as she quickly ran down the hallway to hear one of them say,
"You! Stop!" She continued to run to give Harry enough time to escape, as Valiant ran with her. She could only hear one pair of footsteps following her at that point. She took a sharp turn as she entered in a room. It was the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom as she tried to calm herself. Suddenly two candles flickered on at the teacher's desk to see Professor Quirrell.
"M-miss A-aragon. W-what a-a-a-re you doing here?"
She suddenly heard a hissing sound as she sees Valiant growling, showing off his fangs. She remembered something from her vision in Dumbledore's office. She looked at Professor Quirrell's turban and peered a bit.
"What are you looking at girl."
She shot her eyes at his, realizing his stutter was gone.
"I'm sorry...I'll go back to my room."
"Oh no, please stay...from what I hear is that you have a special gift."
She tensed as she glared at him, placing her hand at the door knob to feel it locked. She sees his wand at his hand.
Oh no...he must have locked the door when I wasn't paying attention!
"What g-gift are you talking about sir?" She tried to act coy.
"Oh I have eyes and ears all over this place, and you have a very special gift...of what I hear is the sight." He started to walk around his desk to get closer to her as Valiant went to an attack position.
She stood still as she straightened up. She was about to say something but something came over her. She felt her body surge with a force as her eyes widened to stare at a mirror behind Quirrell, looking at the back of his turban.
"...Oh my god...Yo-"
"What is going on here!" She jumped as the door bursts open as she turned to see Professor Snape behind her looking at Quirrell and back at her.
"A-ah P-professor S-s-snape. I just f-found the m-missing student." Quirrell stuttered as Snape had his wand at hand with it glowing light.
He must have unlocked it to get in.
"I see, well I'll take Miss Aragon off your hands..." He glared at him before yanking Serenity's arm to take her. They walked in the hall as Professor Snape said,
"Tell your mutt to return to your room. I'll need to speak to you in my office. Now."
She looked at Valiant and said in a small voice, " G-go back to my room. I'll be there soon I swear." Valiant just looked at her and at Professor Snape before trotting back to her room as she was being dragged by Professor Snape.
He brought her into his classroom and went thought the desks to his private office. She yelped as gripped her arm roughly again before tossing her in a chair as she closed his door.
"What did you hear." He hissed at her as she rubbed her arm.
Severus Snape's POV
"What did you hear?" He said as he glared down at her. He flicked his wand to light a few candles in the room as he looked back down at her. She trembled in the chair as she said in a small voice,
"N-nothing si-"
"You're lying." He said as he walked over to stand right in front of her. Her green doe like eyes gazed up at him as she said in a soft voice,
"P-please s-sir. I...I just wanted to walk around with pet. I-I couldn't sleep very well." She tried to cover up.
Does this girl really think she could fool me?
"Then say the truth."
Her eyes were looking around as he came closer to her, having his hands grip onto the arms of the chair she sat. She shot her eyes at him as fear took over.
"Tell me now Miss Aragon, or I assure you I have other ways to find out."
She tensed up as she finally spoke.
"...I heard v-voices in the hallway as I was walking Valiant...I didn't know who one of the voices belonged to but...the other was Professor Quirrell...And that person was..." She looked up at him again, gazing into his eyes. He stared back as he got a better look at the young girl, as her soft, brown, wavy hair went around to frame her delicate fair skinned face.
"That person was what?"
"...Questioning loyalty." He stood back up and glared at her, squinting his eyes slightly at her as he turned around with his cloak moving as if they had a mind of their own. He sat behind the desk before he peered at her.
"Go back to bed Miss Aragon. Fifty point from Gryffindor will be removed, and two weeks of detention after break. Dismissed."
The girl got up, still shaking a bit but stopped when she had her back turned to him. She whispered something as he looked down at an essay he was correcting
"I said dismissed."
"...Was she that beautiful?" He looked up to see the girl not moving an inch, allowing him to only see her back.
"I don't know what on earth you are talking about, now I suggest you get out before I give you more detention and deduct more point from your house." He hissed.
Slowly the girl turned her head giving him a small smile, that looked familiar to him. Her eyes were gentle with the reflections of the candle flames dancing in them. She said softly to him,
"...I think that's impossible sir, because I'll be gone after one week, once break is over..." She quickly turned back to leave his office, making Snape just stare, wondering what she meant.
Serenity's POV
After she left Snape to enter into the Gryffindor common room, Harry showed Serenity what he found when he was trying to hide from the teachers after his attempt to go to the restricted section. It was a large mirror with the words, Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi, inscribed on it. Harry saw his mother and father while Ron, who already saw the mirror, saw himself as head boy and captain for the gryffindor quidditch team.
Harry urged Serenity to go up and she saw herself a bit older, with her friends around her smiling as two strangers walk up to stand behind her. The woman had bright blonde with bright, deep, emerald green eyes, while the tall man had wavy light brown hair with light grey eyes. She saw them both place a hand on each shoulder and smile at her.
"So what do you see?"
"…Well I see myself a bit older… and you, Hermionie, and Ron all older as well and you guys are smiling at me…And I see these this couple and I think…They're my parents."
A small tear rolled down her cheek as she broke down crying, her knees weak as she went onto the floor. Harry quickly grabs her as she cries on his shoulder. She couldn't understand why she was crying so much, but after a while she calmed down. Her and Harry just sat on the floor staring at the mirror till Serenity asked,
"What do they look like?"
"…Well I look like my father. He has dark hair and same kind of face in a way…He just nodded of approval. But my mum has light green eyes and red hair…"
She looked over at Harry to see his eyes and gave a little smile,
"You have her eyes then…She must be really pretty."
"Yeah…What about your parents Serenity?"
"Well…My dad has light have brown hair like me, but instead has light grey eyes. He looks very…strong. Because his eyes are very steady but turns soft when he smiles. My mum on the other hand…I really wish I grow up to be as pretty as her."
"That pretty huh?"
"No…She looks very gentle…She has blonde hair but very striking emerald green eyes…She looks like a little fairy."
Harry then looked back at her and grinned,
"You might look like her when you're older…Your hair turns really light in the sun."
"Yeah right…But this if the first time I've ever seen them. I don't even know if they're real or not…They could be something I wished my parents look like."
The next few days during break Serenity tried to spend as much time with Ron and Harry. She was flying outside trying to learn quidditch from Harry and Ron, but she didn't have quite a good grasp at it. Well if you mean falling a lot and scared of heights then yes, she really wasn't goof at it, well honestly she was just plain horrible at it. Then Ron taught her more about wizard chess and finally for once she beat him and Harry. They of course visited Hagrid, who always had a joy seeing Valiant around, inspecting her wolf. He was the one who told her that Valiant was a very rare creature called a Dire Wolf.
But anyways, they still continued to research about the stone between their fun. When they did get into studying, it was almost as if Fred and George, Ron's twin brother, would come in and take them outside to play more.
The days were great, but at night she met with Professor Tsukimi. Turning the night they would just talk, letting Serenity ask any questions before really accepting to transfer. She asked Professor Tsukimi as many questions as she thought of, and the Professor was happy to answer them.
Professor Tsukimi graduated at Mahoutokoro, a Japanese magic school where she got her cherry wood wand for being top of her class. Her abilities came in during her fourth year and she was utterly confused until she had to figure it out on her own, the hard way, but got help from her best friend Amelia. But after she mastered her gift of sight she ended up helping a special organization called the Order of the Phoenix.
"Excuse me but what's the Order of the Phoenix?" Serenity had to ask, interrupting Professor Tsukimi.
"Ah the Order is a special organization that oppose...well You-know-who and his death eaters."
She then told Serenity that her skills her helpful to the Order but retired after a few years, because death eaters were slowly figuring out who was giving the Order their information. So Professor Tsukimi ended up going into hiding for a few years then ended up as a teacher at Beauxbatons.
"Now I told you my story, will you tell me yours?" Professor Tsukimi asked.
Serenity slowly told the story of her life, saying how she loved the Orphanage, but she felt a little different from everyone else. Then to the part of when she found out she was a witch. Serenity just told her story as Professor Tsukimi calmly listened, and Valiant laying by the fireplace.
These nights were the ones that Professor Tsukimi bonded with Serenity, and made it easier for Serenity to accept her leaving Hogwarts.
"I'm just saying dear…If you really don't want to leave, or having second thoughts, you can always decline the offer."
"Well..."
She then had to mention to Professor Tsukimi that Professor Snape gave her detention.
"Snape? That little..." Professor started to mutter something.
"Um, excuse me?"
"Oh nothing dear, I'll take care of that." She said as she offered Serenity another macaron.
Eliza Tsukimi's POV
"Severus!" The woman gracefully walked into the door before the man could say enter. She wore her hair up with a decorative chopstick to keep it in place, as her lips were a deep shade of red. She wore a simple black, one long sleeve dress with a red floral sash in the middle. She strode over to his desk glaring at him.
"...I did not allow you to enter Eliza." He hissed as glanced up from his papers. He knew the Dumbledore had let her stay at the castle for a little bit but didn't expect her to come to him. Never the less he didn't reveal how surprised he looked in his expression.
" Oh please. I already know what you're doing. You're right now grading an essay for a Fred Weasley who is going to get a D for sloppy handwriting." She rolled her eyes as she looked at him place a D on the paper right when she said it.
"Fine...What do you want." He scowled as he took the next essay.
"What I want is...You're going to give this one a D as well...Oh besides that, I wanted to tell you that you can't give Miss Aragon detention."
She saw his eyebrow perk up as he gave the essay another D and finally looked up at her.
Ugh, he hasn't changed one bit…
"...Why should I let Miss Aragon not have detention? She was past curfew."
"Well that's not going to matter because by the end of the week she'll be coming with me, transferring to Beauxbatons!"
Serenity's POV
Serenity waited for Hermione's return at the front entrance and when they finally see each other they ran to give each other's arms to give a tight hug. They just started to chat as the boys came to them later during dinner. Then life just continued on in Hogwarts, classes continued, and the search was will going. Even Snape told her she didn't have detention and she just smiled, giving her more time to spend with Hermione and the boys.
It was funny as their classes were even more entertaining than usual. She was excelling even more, but still tried to help other classmates as well like Neville. Serenity didn't try to think too much and spent as much time with everyone in Hogwarts as possible before time was up…Til the last day.
...It's time to leave today...
Serenity was in her room looking outside to see the sunrise. She gave a sigh as she changed into her uniform for her last day. She left the dorm early and with a bag with presents in it. She was about to enter the great hall until Professor Mcgonagall stopped her.
"Ah Miss Aragon. I heard you're leaving today! I didn't know." Professor Mcgonagall said, with a sad look in her eyes. Serenity gave a small nod and smile as they exchanged a hug and Professor Mcgonagall said,
"Well I'll be happy to see you, once you've return Miss Aragon. Don't worry I'll have plenty of homework when you come back." Professor Mcgonagall mused while Serenity just laughed.
Serenity sat in the Great Hall eating until she saw her friends walking towards her. They sat around her as she gave them gifts.
"What's this?"
"Gifts...for a late Christmas gift." She got a bit of money from Dumbledore to get these as she thanked him in her mind.
Ron opened his first to find a brand new wizard chess set, but one can play by himself and the pieces return to their original forms after the game. So no more random crumbles here and there.
"Wow this is awesome! Now I can play with something with a bit more challenge!"
"Hey!" Both Serenity and Harry said, but they all laughed because they knew it was true.
Harry opened his next to find a copper snitch.
"I thought you could practice with that." She smiled as he looked at it. He gave a thanks and smiled as he noticed his initials on it.
Lastly was Hermione. She opened her gift to find not one but two. She got an herbology book about dangerous plants and a charm bracelet with one charm on it, an owl.
"It's a special one that allows you to easily concentrate on what you need to find...I hope it helps."
"I love these thank you!" Hermione gave Serenity a hug but Serenity tensed up as she heard Dumbledore make an announcement.
"Settle down now. I would like to make a few announcements. Professor Tsukimi who was subbing in for Professor Trelawney, who was on an extended vacation, is leaving today to go back to Beauxbatons. So give a warm farewell to Professor Tsukimi." Everyone gave a clap, and a louder for most for the kids who had electives in deviation. Dumbledore waved his hand to quiet the students down as Serenity felt a lump in her throat.
"Also...There is a first year student who was given an opportunity to go to Beauxbatons as a student. She will be leaving with Professor Tsukimi today was well."
"Bloody hell, lucky girl!" Ron said.
"That school is quite high class in not only their classes but the scores on their OWLS are top knotch!" Hermione exclaimed.
"I wonder who it is." Harry asked looking around.
"I bet it's probably a Ravenclaw or maybe a Slytherin. You know most Slytherins come from elite families."
"Ron that's not necessarily tru-"
"Serenity Alice Aragon! She will be gone for a year and a half but transfer back for her third year. So this is not a good bye, so lets give her a warm round of applause." Dumbledore said as all eyes fell on her with loud clapping and cheering all around. They were all saying how lucky she was and good luck except for four people. The trio looked in disbelief while at the teacher's table a pair of dark obsidians eyes stared at her.
After breakfast she went back to her room to pack with the trio behind her.
"You're leaving!" Hermione said.
"Why? I thought you like Hogwarts!" Ron said.
"Yes I'm leaving, but not forever. I love Hogwarts! You know that Ron it's just..." She gave a sigh as she looked at them with Valiant next to her, rubbing his head against her hand.
"I haven't told you guys...I'm a...a..."
"A seer." Hermione said as she stared at Serenity. Serenity gave a little smile.
"A what?" Both boys asked.
"A seer is a wizard or witch that can predict the future...they say they have the sight and...That's how all the times Serenity had a strange feeling we may have a test or quiz came true!"
"Wait what? You never told us that!" Ron said.
"Oh well...I forgot to tell you guys. Too busy trying to study." They all stood there in silence until they all laughed. Serenity relaxed as she explained,
"I'm going to Beauxbatons to help develop my powers so I can handle them better. They say it's mild now but later it can get harder to control them...I didn't want to tell you guys, because I wanted to spend the time being together." Serenity said calmly as she gave them all a big group hug.
"Don't worry mate...We'll be here waiting for you." Ron said.
"Of course. You'll always be our best friend!" Hermione said.
"Yeah, we'll miss you though..." Harry said quietly as Serenity cried a little. They all looked at one another as smiled appeared again on their faces. They promised each other to write everyday as she took her bag and Valiant following her out of the Gryffindor Corridors. The trio tried to escort her to the entrance of the school until Snape turned from the hallway.
"I believe it's only Miss Aragon leaving. Rest of you go back to class." They all try to protest but he gave them house deductions. Serenity gave them all one last hugs, giving Ron a smile and to get better at chess, the longest hug to Hermione, and Harry a small one but whispered in his ear.
"Be careful...and keep flying. You never know when you might need it" She smiled at him as she waved them goodbye. As the trio turned the corner Serenity have a sigh, sad to see them leave as she turned around with her bag to walk to the entrance. Valiant patted next to her, walking in silence as she realized someone was following her. She turned her head slightly to see Professor Snape while still walking.
"Um...Is there something you need Professor?"
"I'm here to escort you to the entrance...Not like you can cause anymore trouble than needed." He scowls as she started to giggle.
"What's so funny Miss Aragon?"
"Oh nothing...It's just that I won't be having your potions class anymore...Not seeing your taunt Harry or scowling at Neville...I hope you'll be easy on him, Sir."
"Why would I want to be easy on a dunderhead like him?" Her perked one eyebrow up.
"...Because...He's going to have a bright future, and I'm sure your scowls won't help that much." She giggled as she was close to the entrance. They walked in silence again until she had to ask one more time,
"...You never answered my question, Sir."
"And they question was..."
"...What she really that beautiful?" He stopped and looked at the girl, who's green eyes were gazing up at him.
"Who is this she you keep rambling on about?"
"The one that you gave your loyalty to...The one that you couldn't save." Serenity asked with a straight face.
"…"
"Ah Serenity! You've made it!"
They both turn to see Albus and a few teachers at the entrance, while Professor Tsukimi was shaking a few hands. Serenity slowly took her trunk and walked off as Snape took a second to continue on as well. The teachers said farewell to her with hugs and handshakes to her. To professor Quirrell she shook his hand but said in a low voice that only he could only hear.
"...You won't be able to get the stone...and I'm not talking to you Professor, but the one hiding." Quirrell tensed and glared at her, taking his hand back as if she burnt him.
"Serenity~ We must go now!" Professor Tsukimi called as she flicked her want to place her trunk into the carriage. It was a carriage with two pegasus' pulling it. Serenity looked at all of her teachers again before entering inside, and Valiant hopping in. They closed the door as Serenity looked out as the carriage started to move, and her last look at Hogwarts.
As they flew around the school before taking off completely, Serenity saw her three friends wave at her from one of the towers as she waved back, not able to hear what they were saying to her.
...I will return...I promise…
