17. Chapter 17

For a moment Potter was blind. It seemed horribly dark out.

" Charlie? Rosie? Where are you? "

Rosie's dry voice made him jump slightly" Behind you. It's not so dark if you turn around."

Charlie was looking carefully around. The fireplace was almost the only thing still standing in this little cottage. Two walls stood up drunkenly against a darkening sky. the woods were already growing around them. Charlie motioned out side the small area.

"Theres' a clearing right there. I'm going to cast the circle and get it ready."

Rosie looked around nervously " So...uh how do we get Fenrir here anyway?"

Charlie finished the circle and began to do the runes " I've sent him a missive. He'll get it in an hour so while I do this Rosie better do the protective spells you wanted to do."

Rosie nodded and began walking around doing the protection charms. Out here in the woods with the darkness rolling in on them the protective charms she'd felt so sure of now seemed fragile and silly. She'd seen pictures of the werewolf in question and human or animal he looked evil and yet they were getting ready to try to manipulate him?

" Wh..what should I do? " Potter asked nervously. He was in sudden agreement with Rosie. This seemed stupid and very dangerous.

" Just keep an eye out and stop talking If I do these spells wrong they'll be useless!"

Potter straightened and glanced around fiddling with his wand. There was a crackle of paper as Charlie took out the picture of the birthmark that had been described on Fenrir arm. He threw up a quick prayer it was the birthmark and not just a tattoo. Drawing it in the middle of the circle was harder then he thought. His lines were shaky and he had to straighten them out. By the time he was done Rosie and Potter were both nervously looking around faces white with fear and wands lit.

Charlie took a deep breath and checked his timer. 20 minutes until Fenrir would get his message. He sure hoped it wouldn't take that long to call up this shape shifter. He glanced at Rosie who made a shooing motion at him. Potter just gave him an impatient look.

Charlie took a deep breath. Dad please let this work. He pointed his wand at the circle and cast the spell.
