Mate and School Chapter 22: Lavender Explains, and missing and dead

(Disclaimer see chapter 1 and on with this chapter)

Lucius had straightened his poster and looked around to find his mate, and she was no where to be found! After all the very excited yelling and chatter had stopped, Severus had looked over at the scanning and worried Veela/Siren. Severus, who had done lots of research on Veela/Sirens, was suspicious about his friend and read up on the breeds Lucius and Draco had fit the reference to a 'T' right in front of him and the dark hared man never knew it! As Severus had thought back when Samantha, his little miracle, was born Lucius was a bit happier rather than his stoic behavior.

During the war, before the downfall of the dark lord Voldemort, Lucius was more concerned with Samantha's safety rather than his own, as Severus had came from his muses with the sound of Lavender's voice. This is the moment everyone was waiting for, this was the moment of truth, ''It all started after you-know-who's downfall, Ron had started to become bitter and jealous and resentful. But when Samantha and Harry were in a relationship, at the time, Ron had taken a walk one night and ran into Pansy they were talking and both of them were suddenly attacked by vampires. Pansy is a full vampire, she was able to make Ron a half mortal at the time just after the creature left a transformed lycan had attacked him, just before Pansy woke up she had acted fast and gave him a bit of her blood.'' Lavender was explaining as she was sitting in her chair by Harry's hospital bed.

Lavender was finally getting this off of her chest, with a sigh and some tears she had continued ''And there's more, to help Samantha and Hermione, you must understand this, Ron is no longer human I suspected something was very off on him for a while, if I'm to face some punishment I deserve it, I accidentally saw the mask in was in Pansy's hands she was handing it to Ron to hide his face and his scent to mask it from the Veela/Sirens. I first had discovered that something was off every time that there was an attack, Ron and Pansy would always go missing, if I could go back with a time turner I would without hesitation. Both Ron and Pansy had found out that I knew, Crabbe and Goyle grabbed me and threw me in front of them, they forced me into keeping quiet ever since then upon that night that both Peppermint and Samantha were attacked they had kept a very close eye on me...'' Looking up more tearfully, and continuing...

The Head of Gryffindor House had came forward and wrapped her arms around a crying Lavender ''There's a bit more, Ron still lusts after Hermione however he has developed an attachment to one Samantha. Harry, here, was at the Burrow for a few rare times before the end of the war with you-know-who, Ron had managed to steal Harry's cloak and in private late one night giving it to Pansy to hold onto.'' There was the mystery, the blonde blue eyed girl had carried this heavy burden for much too long ''When Ron had seen the gemstone that Samantha now carries he knew that he had to act fast, he knew that she had been getting teachings from Salazar's image himself! Every pure blood, who was anyone, knew of this certain jewel forged in Samantha's family for ages anyone with calm and sense would do a bit of digging would've been able to figure that Samantha is a descendant from 'The Lady Morgana Pendragon' herself!'' Lavender had explained further.

While looking at The History of Magic Professor and the newly calmed Head boy that was out of his binds ''There is something else, Professor Malfoy, Pansy had basilisk venom that she had dipped onto the famed sword of one muggle. Only one, this one was the adopted brother of Morgana Pendragon, Aurthur, Excalibur was rediscovered by Ron Merlin, who was growing older and more senile and became a major fall down drunk, he had placed the sword in hiding. Everyone involved with that situation had thought that Merlin, Kevin being his muggle name, had put an end to it little did he know what would have happened several centuries down the road.'' Lucius had looked around trying to hone in on his mate!

''Lavender,'' Came Ginny's voice, the youngest and only girl within the Aurthur and Molly brood supported Hermione and Draco and true at first she wasn't all that comfortable about it but she had seen how Hermione was so happy; and also true that the relationship with Samantha and with Lucius didn't really bother her either. Ginny had came forward going to her knees and looking at her friend's downward stare ''Gin, he is not your brother anymore...'' Ginny had interrupted ''I know, Lavender, I know what Samantha has to do... also your forgetting The Medallion Of Merlin!'' All who knew about this particular item looked on in total shock, no one would even dare.

''Ginny, that's an old warlock's tale...'' Ginny shook her head side to side, and turning her head over to Toni, ''No it isn't, you see Samantha had knowledge of this its called researching and to discover that it was in the Clarette Bae vault. Somehow it had ended up there. And Samantha had given me the key, that was hiding in Christine's diary, and I went in the vault and I've been holding the Medallion since; Samantha wants Lucius to have it. One of my best friends had said only he could wield it once this vampuric half dog had been taken care of, he can banish the darkness once and for fall, poor Samantha will have to do the hard work.'' Explained Toni as he had handed the golden and green necklace, to which it had bonded to the older Veela/ Siren.

Once the shock had worn off, everyone had decided to split up into teams and look for Samantha until Cherry had popped in the hospital wing and bowing to her master ''Master, forgive Cherry's interruption butsz Mistress is outside fighting the creature for Mistress Hermione!'' Snapping his attention fully on the small house elf ''You will show me this instant!'' Nodding her head up and down and signaled for them to follow her, as the group had gotten to the Quidditch Pitch, until Toni had stopped Lucius quickly pulling out another wand that wasn't his.

The Professor had looked at the boy ''What is it?'' He had snapped irritated, upon further inspection, the wand looked like Dark Unicorn Wand that Samantha has the blonde older veela/siren had looked at him again and at the wand. Meeting his questioning gaze ''This is the wand that belonged to Samantha's grandmother, Christine, Samantha had me go to Gringotts with the key that hidden in the vault of the Clarrett-Bae name. She told me where to go and what spell to say to summon the wand to me, Samantha then told me to give this wand to give this to you Professor Malfoy, just in case there will be anymore Black Blooded Lycans; and knowing the breed of darkness as well as she does there will be...'' Came Toni's voice, as everyone had looked on in total disbelief Samantha had thought this out, very well!

As Lucius had put on the medallion, to which it bounded to him immediately, in that instantce out came the remainder of the black blooded lycans and giants and zombies! Dumbledore had aimed his wand up as did everyone else, Peppermint had stepped in front of the group along with Toni and Sid and Krystia with their wands out! Peppermint had looked over and screamed ''Leave the zombies to us!'' Nodding to Toni who in turn had nodded to Sid and both he and Krystia had met each others' stare and the four had walked forward in a spread eagle formation and started to throw the propper hexes and counter curses! Lucius was handling the deformned bloack blooded lycans, while the rest of the professors and the students were battling with the giants and the rest of the hellness that was coming down upon them!

Diana, who had taken care of a vampuress, breathing hard quickly glancing over in her partner's direction to see Narcissa taken care of herself well as Diana had reached up and wiped the sweat from her forehead for not even a moment from behind a vampire got her! Diana screamed in pure panic! Narcissa had looked in shock, as the woman's dark eyes widened in total fear, the creature had craned Diana's head to the side and bit her! Diana screamed, quickly getting over her fear and her shock, Narcissa had ran to her partner as fast as she could, with her wand drawn she had screamed her curse...

The creature had fled, gathering her fallen lover from the ground and signaled for help Remus and Sirius had came running to help their friends Diana was breathing hard and shuddering while Narcissa was holding her hand and talking to her quietly. Sirius had picked up Diana gently and carried her to the hospital wing with Remus and Narcissa in tow, as the last of the zombies were killed off by the selected Salems, the giants and the vampires were retreating. Oddly enough the barrier around the pitch hadn't broken yet?

As Lucius had killed the last of the dark lycans, the veela/siren was slowly looking up at the darkened barrier glancing upward and seeing Blaise on his broom to try to find a way to free the two girls, Severus who had joined Lucius's side ''Diana has been injured, Narcissa and Remus and Sirius are with her and Madam Promfrey,'' Before he could continue he had met his friend's stare, seeing Blaise flying around ''Blaise! What do you see?!'' Came Lucius's voice ''I can't really make it out, Professor, but Hermione is tied up and barely breathing!'' That worried Draco, to death!

''What of Samantha!'' Hollered the veela/siren, again Blaise had looked around in the barrier ''Samantha had killed one of the hooded people! It's it's Michelle Ayburn! And Pansy Parkinson! They... they are dead!'' Would those two try to kill Samantha? That thought was interrupted when Blaise had spoken again ''She's alive and killed those three! And who the bloody hell is that? It...It's It's... Weasley?! You mean to tell me that it has been him?! Kill him CARA!'' Blaise had roared out, while the school and the professors were trying to break down the barrier to get to Samantha!

Blaise was circling the barrier with his wand in his hand trying to figure out the right charm, the right enchantment until the Zabini heir had seen... his dark eyes had widen as he screamed ''Fucking coward! How dare you hit a woman!'' He had roared while Lucius had let out a murderous snarl. While floating up to the boy, there had to be a way in the barrier, as the two looked on they saw Samantha dueling with the creature that was known as Ron the two were levitating in the air and within the barrier they saw the gemstone reacting and pulsing... Lucius could hear perfectly clear what was going on within the barrier, his sweet little Samantha and his future daughter in law, poor Hermione was fighting for her life!

As Samantha had blasted the thing through the bleachers on the Hufflepuff side and without no hesitation flying to Hermione's aid, quickly looking behind her to see the coast was ok, pointing her elder wand at her and muttering any kind of counter curse as it worked; the head girl was falling Samantha had quickly caught her! And the two had gently settled upon the earth, as they did so, the bleachers had busted and there was one pissed off Ron, Samantha was sneering at him and levitating back up to battle leaving Hermione gasping for breath... Blaise and Lucius were watching in total shock, what exactly did Salem teach its students? Especially the Elite?

Hermione was shaking her head side to side coughing violently, whilst she was looking up and notcing and taking in what was going on! The head girl couldn't believe it, Samantha was fighting so well, this time the Slytherin girl had gotten blasted right into the Gryffindor bleachers! Hermione had let out a startled alarm, she had quickly placed her hand upon her mouth and hid, as Samantha was trying to get her wind back... Lucius was snarling and growling from his position, wishing that he could get in the barrier, wishing that he was the chosen one to end this and not his dainty beautiful mate!

Blaise and Lucius were both circling the barrier once more and the young male Slytherin happened to notice two people flying to them, one of them was a newly healed Harry and Draco?! As Harry was flying and Draco with his black wings by him ''Veela/Siren needs mate!'' The blonde was growling it out, painfully and angrily while they were joining the two flyers in the air, Harry had looked in the barrier ''I can get in...'' The green eyed boy had said while getting odd looks from the three Slytherins ''Think about it, while I was in the hospital wing, the spirit of Christine, Samantha's grandmother came to me and with the last ounce of her power healed me, she told me that no muggle born and no pure born could get in the barrier. But she told me I can, I am a half blood! I can do it!''
As Harry had said it, before they could stop him, he had flown inside!

(end of chapter 22! R&R, up next is the battle within the barrier, what will happen when Harry goes in? Mate and School is nearly coming to an end)
