Hello readers! It's been like what? 12 days since we updated...We're so sorry ):
School was getting in our way in uploading it. We finished writing the story a long time ago but needed to edit it. Our teachers were crushing with tests, that's not even funny =.= Again we're really sorry. Since it eased up a bit, we're going to update more frequently now. So no worries (:
Thanks for waiting for us! Now please enjoy the chappie!
Warning! OCs
DISCLAIMERS: WE DO NOT OWN ANYTHING THAT IS IN THE ORIGINAL HARRY POTTER UNIVERSE. IT ALL BELONGS TO J.K ROWLING.
Jennifer's POV
My mouth dropped down to the ground in surprise. How did she get the elixir! Does that mean it's it? We got it? We are going to save mankind? Psst. That was nothing. Why didn't that old man do all the dirty work himself. I burned my hand for that!
Tamara stuffs the elixir in the pocket of her robes, we walk towards the car. As we get close enough, I see the same man who told us to go on this "journey" sitting in the driver seat. He opens the door and steps out.
"Wow, you little girls actually made it out alive." He says, looking shocked.
"What were you expecting? You expecting us to die there with everyone else, old man!" I snap. I was starting to hate his guts.
He just looks at me, "The name is Sir William Fabray III" Wow. What a name.
"So did you guys get it? The elixir I mean." William something the third asks.
"How exactly does it defeat some enemy anyway." Natalie asks. All of us nodded, agreeing with her, as much as I don't want to. He chuckled. The old guy stood up from the drivers' seat. At the corners of my eyes, Tamara and Michelle took a step back. The old guy put his hand out.
"Give me the elixir. Now." He demands in a more stern voice.
"The elixir isn't for stopping an enemy is it?" Tamara asks questioning, clearly figuring this guy out.
"The elixir." He continues to demand. I heard footsteps behind, I took a quick glance behind me. It's Michelle. Her hands were subtly signalling something. She was pointing at my hammer. I think she wants me to give it to her. I carefully and quietly handed the hammer to her, while the old guy was still asking for the elixir. Michelle takes the hammer. Carefully slipping it in her sleeve, keeping it hidden.
"No time for games, give me the elixir." He demanded, frustration clearly in his voice. Then Michelle yelled, "DUCK!"
All three of us ducked and I saw my hammer flying over my head and hit the old guy square in the face. The old guy screamed in pain as he fell to the ground, covering his face. Michelle ran to the guy and jumped on him. She kept on punching him and all of us stared at her in surprise.
"...Note to self, never piss off Michelle whether she has her wand or not..."Tamara said. Natalie and I nodded in agreement. "HEY! I need some help here!" Michelle yelled, still beating him up. I ran over to help, kicking him like a soccer ball. He started screaming more in pain. Then I saw a flash of light and both Michelle and I flew back to where Natalie and Tamara is. I groaned in pain while I try to stand up. Tamara helps me. My vision comes to focus. I see him standing up, looking angry and holding a wand. That is not good...
"If you're smart, you would hand over the elixir. Right. Now." He demands having a firm grip of his wand.
I raise my brows. "Are you calling us stupid?"
"The only one who is stupid here, is you. I mean, who gives car keys to a bunch of 11 year olds?" Michelle retorted.
"I warned you. Crucio!" he says aiming at Natalie. It hits her. This is not good. She lies on the floor shaking and moaning.
"Natalie!" we all shout. We try going to her but the William guy wouldn't let that happen that easily.
"Crucio!" he says again, this time pointing at Tamara. I pull her out of the way just in time but is still narrowly misses.
"Thanks" she says.
Tamara and Michelle take out their swords, while I get my hammer back. The two of them seem to be deflecting the spells off the blade. They come back at him with half the force but he deflects them all.
"Stop fighting. Or your little friend here is going to go insane." says the William guy pointing his wand at Natalie who is still on the ground shaking, completely defenseless. "Hand it over, now."
We all look at each other. What are we going to do? If Natalie gets hit another time she might go insane literally. We're too young. It affects us more.
"I'm going to say this one more time. Hand it over NOW!" pointing his wand at Natalie's head.
"Just give it" I say."It's not worth it."
Tamara goes over slowly and puts the bottle into his hand. He smiles evilly.
"Master, will be very pleased with me. I give you my thanks." says the EVIL William guy and he disapparates. We all rush over to Natalie.
"Are you okay?" I say.
"No, not really." she says softly.
We lift her up slowly and carefully. We take her to the car but then we notice the car keys are missing.
"What are we going to do?" We're stuck here.
"Well we could hotwire it." says Natalie.
"And you can do that?" asks Michelle.
"Yes. If I don't fall over first." replies Natalie.
We hold her up while she does something with the car. Soon we get in.
"Is it just me or is the sky brighter than when we got here." says Natalie.
"Yeah, it is." I say.
"Let's see if my iPod has just enough battery to turn on to check the date and time" says Natalie.
We turn it on.
"April, 22, 2011, 4:00 PM"
"The next day." says Tamara.
"Have we really been in the cave for that long?" asks Michelle.
"The cave must alter time." says Natalie.
"Well, does it really make a difference?" I say.
"The charm I put on the car will only last till about 6:00 PM."says Natalie.
"Well we'll get there by then hopefully." says Michelle.
"Umm..where's there?" I ask.
"Dungeons."
When we arrived, we quietly went in the room where the safe was. It turned out to be his little office thing. There were shelves full of old books and a wooden desk sat in the middle.
"So what do we do?" I ask, as Natalie walks over to the bookshelf.
"We need to learn more about this old guy." Michelle says. Tamara walks over to examine his desk.
"Before he said 'Master will be very pleased with me.', who do you think his 'master' is?" Tamara asks, going through his drawers.
"Could it be the mutant pelican?" I ask, remember his little speech with the patronus.
"His master. A mutant pelican." Natalie says, looking at me with narrowed eyes.
I shrug, "It can happen." Natalie pulls out a book and looks through it. Michelle looks around the room. I walk over to where Tamara is. She pulls out an old binder. It is black and is covered with dust. She opens it. Inside, were old newspaper clippings from years ago. It has aged over the years and has gotten yellow. Tamara looks at it carefully.
"This is like over 100 years old" she says, looking at me. Man, he's older than I thought he was.
"This isn't right. People like Professor McGonagall are like a little over a century old and she looks like an old lady but this guy looks like he's in his early 40s." Michelle said.
"He never mentioned what the elixir does exactly, could that be related?" Tamara asks, eyes scanning the article.
Natalie walks over, "Yeah, but I have a feeling it's not for him this time."
"His master..." I say, "The pelican."
"It's for his master, yes." Natalie confirms, then looks at me. "But I doubt it's a mutant pelican."
"Guys, look." Tamara speaks up. "All the articles are about people going missing. People who then turned into death eaters."
Natalie leans over to read the articles. "Probably has to do with his master." She pulls out a journal she found from the bookshelf. "We might be able to find something here." She opens the journal and begins flipping through the pages. She suddenly stops on a date and starts reading.
I look at her confused. "What's wrong?" She glances at Michelle and Tamara, as if sending them a message. What's going on...?
"May 2 1998, when the last wizard war ended." Michelle says. Oh, I nod. I look over to read the entry.
May 2nd 1998,
My master has been waiting for this day. It has finally come. Voldemort is gone. Though he's not here to celebrate the day with me. I know he will be someday. That someday will come soon. My lord waits for the day he will rise, and become the new Voldemort. The most powerful dark wizard there is. There are threats. My lord giving them a gift, but also a curse. There are four threats. Each with a different curse. They'll no longer be threats. Just deaths.
I finished reading last. I look up to the others. Tension in the room. Natalie flips to the next page. The rest of the journal is empty.
"Well, it looks like the William guy decided to stop writing his diary." I say.
"What do you think it means?" asks Tamara.
"Well it seems like his master didn't like Voldemort but instead of trying to defeat him he wanted to become him." says Michelle.
"But then there are four things that could stop him from rising and soon whatever it is, they will try to kill them." says Natalie.
"But what are the threats?" I say.
"It can be anything." Tamara states. Suddenly we hear the sound of footsteps approaching. We look at each other. The sound grows louder. Natalie shoves the journal inside her robes. We quietly rush to the wall with the door and I stand beside Michelle and Natalie. Tamara on the other side of the door. She mouths "go on" to me. I nod. The knob turns, William the something enters without noticing us and closes the door.
"GO!" Michelle screams, William turns around. Michelle and I tackle him on the ground. Tamara yanks his wand out of his hand and points it at him. She notices the elixir hanging slightly out of his pocket and grabs it too, stuffing it in the pocket of her robes. Natalie stands there, making sure the journal is not visible in her grasp.
"Give it back!" the William guy yells while trying to kick and punch at us but Tamara puts the wand up to his head.
"Keep moving and i'll blast you!" says Tamara.
"We'll use aquafenti on you!" I say.
"Incarcerous" says Tamara as ropes wrap around him.
"Don't think that you've stopped us. Master will rise and you can't stop him. He will be the new Voldemort! A better one too!"
"Silencio" says Tamara. He keeps yelling but nothing comes out.
"What are we going to do with him now?" asks Natalie.
"Well we can take him to Professor Dumbledore. He'll know what to do." says Michelle.
"Are we just going to drive him back?" I ask.
"Well, yeah since we have no other way to get back." says Tamara.
Natalie look at the clock on the wall. "We only have 1 more hour till the charm wears off. We should get going."
"Where should we put him?" Natalie asks as we reach the car.
"Can't we just stuff him in the trunk?" I ask.
"Psst, I doubt he would fit." Michelle said, eyeing him angrily.
"Just put him in. There's no time to waste." says Natalie.
We stick him in the backseat. Michelle hops in the driver seat. Natalie takes the passenger seat this time. We don't want him to get anywhere near her anymore. Michelle starts the car and starts driving.
"How long do we have?" She asks. Tamara checks her watch.
"About 45 minutes." Michelle steps on the gas.
We arrive just above the black lake when Tamara's watch beeps. We ran out of time. The car immediately begins the drop.
"What are we going to do?" I chant nervously.
"Wingardium leviosa!" Tamara says, pointing with William's wand. The car stops about a inch above the lake. We sigh in relief. We do not need to go for a swim.
Tamara gently puts us on land.
"That's a relief." says Natalie.
"Yeah." Michelle says.
"Let's take the old man to Professor Dumbledore." I say.
"It's Sir William Fabray the III!" He says, speaking up after an hour of silence.
"Silencing spell must have worn off." Michelle said, eye twitching.
"Silencio" Tamara says, again, pointing the wand at him.
"Well let's go."
"Mobilicorpus" says Tamara as the William guy gets lifted into the air. We walk up to the front door and we are greeted by Professor Baker.
"Oh my, we all thought you were dead! Thank Merlin you're alright and who is that?" he says pointing to the floating man.
"Sir William Fabray III, an alchemist I think." says Natalie.
We enter the Great Hall, everyone turns to look at us. The room fills with murmurs. Professor Dumbledore stood at the front.
"Well, welcome back. You had us all worried." he says, looking over at William.
"Oh it's you. The man who harassed my brother because of the Nicholas Flamel fellow for a few years." William shoots a evil grin. Everyone in the room looks at him, some in shock. Some totally confused. "Oh, so you're the psycho." Michelle commented. William gave her a glare.
"Watch your mouth, little girl. Once I get my wand, you're gonna feel sorry that you even opened your mouth." He said threateningly. Michelle smirked. "Uh-huh, try doing that. Once you harm one little hair on me, the Ministry will give you a one-way ticket to Azkaban. Then who will be laughing?" Michelle says evilly. Then the charm wore off and he lunged for Michelle. Oh shoot. I saw Professor Baker pull out his wand and Professor Dumbledore doing the same too.
"Stupefy!"
William flew to the other side of the hall, and slammed into the castle wall. He slid down the wall unconscious. All of us turned to see who casted the spell. We see Keith running towards us, with his wand in his hand. "Michelle, you okay!" He asked when he arrived. Keith was panting for breath. Michelle blushed a little bit. She looked down at his feet for a bit. She looked back up at him again, while he just stared at her curiously, probably why she didn't answer him yet.
Dumbledore gets up and asks us to meet him in his office. Also to bring William. We nod, as Tamara uses Mobilicorpus on William again with his wand. We walk with Dumbledore to his office. Keith just stood there, never really getting his answer.
Dumbledore asks what happened to us while we were gone, from when I went missing to now. We took a good amount of time explaining. Tamara gave the elixir to Dumbledore. Telling him what we read from the journal, that Natalie still has but didn't mention, and the newspaper articles. The entire time, Dumbledore keep his eyes on William who was passed out in the corner. He nodded as we told him everything. Although, we left the flying car part out.
He nodded and stroked his long beard, thinking.
"Did you girls find out who his 'master' is and the four threats?" He asked, dropping his gaze at William to look at us. We shake our heads.
Dumbledore nods, "Okay, thank you for this information girls. You may leave now."
We leave Dumbledore's office, my head stirring. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see Keith...what the? "You guys okay? I was worried since you guys disappeared all of a sudden." He said with concern on his face. What's with this dude?
"Uhh, yeah...we're fine..." I say, still confused. He doesn't talk to me at all, or the three of us. He only talks to Michelle. They're like best friends. Then I see Michelle hurriedly walking away with clenching fists.
"Hey, where are you going!" Tamara yelled. "I need to send a letter to my parents!" She yelled back.
Soon a whole group of people came running to us, which consisted of Bianca, Helda, Zoey, Lilly and Joey. Lilly is Tamara's best Gryffindor friend. She has waist length blond hair which is tied in a low braided ponytail. Her blue-grayish eyes are shining with concern and relief.
"Are you guys alright? We were all so worried when you all started disappearing one by one." says Lilly.
"We're fine. Thanks guys." said Natalie.
"Where's Michelle going?" asks Helda.
"She said she's going to send her parents a letter." says Tamara.
"So what happened?" asks Zoey.
"Well we were kidnapped by that old man and he tricked us into going to a cave and getting an elixir that is supposed to help defeat a new enemy but it was the complete opposite. It would make him raise or become stronger." I say.
"What's the elixir actually do?" asks Joey.
"It makes you immortal, stay young and can create gold and silver from stone and diamonds from coal." says Natalie.
"Does this mean that there's going to be another...You-Know-Who?" Bianca asks nervously.
"I guess so..." I say.
"That will not be good.." says Helda. "I'm going to go check on Michelle."
"You should all get some sleep" says Joey.
"Yeah, I'm exhausted." I say.
I go with Bianca to our common room while Tamara, Natalie, Joey, Zoey and Lilly go to theirs.
"Are you sure you're okay?" asks Bianca.
"Yeah but I might stay in my bed for days. A dungeon floor is not comfortable." I say
We go up to the room and after I shower and change I collapse into my bed. I fall asleep right away, but not before reflecting all the things that happened in just two days.
"Uhh, I think I might die now." As I slumped my head on the table, the professors gave all the make up work we missed out on when we went missing and since I went missing first, I have the most. Just great.
"Can't they give us a rest? We helped them get the elixir and stopped the enemy from getting stronger." says Michelle.
"Well exams are in two months." says Natalie.
"True." Tamara agrees.
We all keep working till Lewis comes in through the door. Oh gosh.
"Well look who's back." Lewis says, looking at Michelle in disgust. She narrowed her eyes at him. "Did you get lost on your way to the common room?"
"I know my way around the school way better then you." replies Michelle.
"Oh really, then where did you go? Did you go to join the Death Eaters?" says Lewis.
"The way your acting how do I know you're not a Death Eater?" says Michelle. He glared at her.
"How dare you say that! Why would I join something that I hate as much as everything I have!" says Lewis, now yelling
"Now you know how I feel! I hate Death Eaters as much as you do!" Michelle yells.
"Where did you go then?" asks Lewis.
"It's none of your business." replies Michelle, turning her stare away from him to her textbook and continued writing notes.
"HEY! Don't ignore me! I'm talking to you, you snobby brat!" Lewis yells at her.
"SHHH!" Madam Pince shushed him. She gave him a stern look before leaving to go back to her desk.
"Did you hear something?" says Michelle. "I didn't"
The three of us nod our heads in agreement.
"You..you..you." Lewis stutters.
"What's the incantation for the fire charm again?" asks Michelle continuing on as Lewis wasn't there.
"Incendio" says Natalie.
"Oh, yeah." says Michelle.
"You can't just ignore me like that!" Lewis yells softly, not wanting to get the librarian's attention again.
"Want to go work on this outside?" asks Michelle.
"Yeah." says Tamara as Natalie and I nod. We start walking out but Lewis follows us.
"Hey, you wanna watch Helda's Masterpiece again? We added a title and credits." asks Natalie.
"Can we watch it full screen?" asks Michelle grinning.
"Of course. It only deserves HD." says Natalie as she takes out her laptop and opens it up. The video starts.
"The Dude That Got Pwned'
Lewis watches with us and his mouth drops.
"You...you filmed that!"exclaims Lewis.
"I just checked my WizTube account. Guess the amount of hits." asks Natalie.
"10 000?" ask Tamara.
"50 000?" I ask.
"You're both wrong." says Natalie.
"It's less than that?" asks Michelle. Lewis sighs in relief.
"Nah, it was more. 999 999" says Natalie grinning. "Now after we watched it 1 000 000."
"...No wonder people are laughing at me these days..." he muttered. I can tell Tamara is pitying him. But what surprised me, is that if you look closely, you can see the pity in Michelle's eyes. But you can still tell she's having fun with this. Natalie, the same too. But her pity for him was more obvious. Her enjoyment of this still overwhelms it. Lewis runs off and goes to sit under another tree near the Black Lake. He just stares out at it. I hear Michelle sigh. She stands up and walks towards him.
"Where are you going! Don't tell me you're gonna-" I start to say but got cut off.
"I feel guilty about it. I'm gonna just see if he's alright." Michelle says and then continues to walk towards him. This is not gonna end pretty.
"I feel bad." says Natalie. "We should go too."
"You know, if we come too, it's gonna get worse than it already would be. Since Michelle is there and all..." I say.
"Well if we don't try to make it worse it should be fine." says Tamara.
Then we heard a splash from the Black Lake. All of us immediately turned to that direction. There we see Michelle in the Black Lake. We all start running toward the lake to see what happened. Once we arrived there, I yell "What's going on? How can you push her in there! There's things in there that could eat her!" He turned his head away from us. Then I see Michelle swimming up to Lewis and grabbing his ankle.
She pulled him and dragged him into the lake with her. We all just stood there in surprise. "What's your problem!" Lewis yelled in her face. "Nobody said I can't drag you in the water too!" Michelle retorted.
"Wait, wait. Can someone please tell us what happened here!" Tamara asks. "Since he felt upset, I let him push me into the Black Lake. To make him feel better." She said as if there's no big deal about it. "Oww! What's that for?" Michelle says. "For pulling me into the water. What else?" Lewis replied back. "I can't have my fun? That's no reason to punch me really hard!" Michelle says.
"Oh yes it is." Lewis said.
"Oh then that means I can kick you in the-"
"Alright you guys! Stop it! Just get out of the water, before any of the professors or prefects see you guys in the lake." Tamara interrupted them. The three of us pull them in and dry them off using the drying charm. Though they were dry, they both still smell like an aquarium.
"We should go in. It's getting late." says Natalie. We grab our things and go inside. It's also time for supper. So all of us rushed to our dining tables.
"Why do you smell like fish, dude?" I hear one of the Gryffindor guys ask Lewis.
"Long story..." he replies glaring at Michelle. His friends follow his glare and saw it was Michelle. "Oh, that's why...Then no need to explain. We got the idea dude." The friend said. They all glare at Michelle. She sees them and glares back.
"What happened between them?" Bianca asks me.
"They went swimming." I say, taking a bite of my food.
"I probably don't need any more details, do I?" says Bianca.
"Yeah, you don't." I say. Collin comes up to me.
"Hey, can I talk to you about something?" he asks.
