Bit of a short filler chapter here, but Sirisuly, is anyone still reading this? I don't mean to be pushy. I just want to know.
Chapter Six- Hera
"Jayden, where are we?" I ask the instant we land. Looking around, I can see a park, but luckily it's dark. No Muggles can see us. "A old family friend. We'll crash at her place for a while." Jayden says, leading me up to a door.
A woman in her early thirties answers it. "Jayden?" She asks. He nods. "It's been a while." The woman says. "Hera, this is my girlfriend, Carina. Can we stay here for a while?" Jayden asks. Hera looks suspicious. "Aren't you supposed to be going back to that boarding school?" She asks.
"Yeah, um, about that..." Jayden scratches his head. "We're in the middle of a war." I cut in. Jayden gives me a shocked look. "If we're going to stay with her, we might as well let her know." I say.
"A war?" Hera looks shocked. "You realise how many levels of the Statute of Secrecy this breaks, right?" Jayden sighs. "It's better than the Death Eaters turning up in the middle of London." I say, turning back to Hera. "Yes, a war. I'm surprised the Muggle Prime Minister hasn't informed you." "Jayden, what's this all about?" Hera asks. Jayden sighs. "It was all going to have to come out at some point." He says.
"Hera, believe it or not, I'm a wizard, and Carina's a witch." Jayden says. Hera doesn't look too surprised. "I know. Your parents told me." She says. I put my face in my hands. "Muggles." I mutter. "What's wrong with that?" Hera asks indignantly. "What Muggles would do with the knowledge wizards existed..." I start before turning to Jayden. "I'm sounding more like her aren't I." Jayden nods. "Like who?" Hera asks. "No one." I say quickly. "You really should stop denying them, Carina. It's like me denying the fact that I'm Muggleborn." Jayden says.
"You're family did nothing offensive. Mine tortured and killed Muggles and Muggleborns. Mine went to Azkaban for serving the man trying to murder me." I point out. "What's going on here?" Hera breaks in. "Look, I can tell you have quite the messed up family. But can someone explain this war?"
I hear noise out the window, and whip out my wand. A dark figure is walking up the street. I flick the window shades closed. "Jayden, think of a place quick. We need to get out of here now." I say, throwing the backpack over my shoulder. "Why?" He asks, confused. I point at the window. "They found us." I say. "Merlin's beard, already?" He swears. I nod. "How?" Hera asks. "No idea. There's no way unless they followed us from the wedding." I say. "Is that possible?" Jayden asks. "Trust me, the Death Eaters can find anyone anywhere if they wanted to." I reply. "Sorry, Hera." Jayden says apologetically.
