Arianna Siri-Luna Lillian Draconia Potter
Rise of the Dark Lady
Choosing a Side: Wait WHAT!?
The sound of yelling could be heard throughout the whole of grimmauld place as the portrait of Lady Walburga Black started her daily scolding of the Order invading her home today's morning tirade was featuring a mixture of "BLOOD TRAITORS THE LOT OF YOU" or "HORRIBALE WITCHES AND WIZARDS THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU NO RESPECT FOR ANY OF OUR TRADITIONS" and the icing on the proverbial cake "THE WARD AND OWNER SHOULD KICK YOU OUT FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND HOW YOU ACT IN THIS HOUSE, YOU CANT HIDE FOREVER" now while every other occupant in the house would be jolted from their sleep the only room not effected by such sounds was Arianna's room due to the wards of the house protecting the 16 year old while she slept, Kreacher like he had promised had brought the letter from the oddly sane dark lord and had placed it on the desk near the books and his mistress's clothes for the morning with the intention of having her find it as he worked around her room.
It was getting close to 9am when the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard coming down the corridor coming to a stop at the door Kreacher's lips pulled back into a snarling grin as a male voice yelped when the wars to the room activated "Bloody hell...Stupid door let me in!" this caused the young lady in the room to stir and call out in annoyance "Ron we talked about this. You're not allowed in my room when its early morning or when the door is shut" then mumbled under her breath "last time you walked in you all but forced yourself on me anyway which is why the fucking wards have activated and kicked out the girls in the fucking first place" glaring at the door as she pulled back the covers of her bed and got out heading for her desk where her clothes had been set out the previous day. Reaching out a hand to grab her bra she stops spotting a letter with her name written on it "Kreacher?" she calls the old elf materializes at her side with a "Yes mistress" she looks down at the elf then points to the letter "I take it you put this here?" she says eyes narrowing in confusion "yes mistress...Kreacher wanted to help" he said as her eyes widened as his words registered "Kreacher...you went to go see your old mistress, didn't you?" Arianna said pulling out the chair and sitting down the old elf looked down understanding that the girl was not happy and expecting some sort of punishment for not waiting for her orders "what's done is done I guess...who was there when you went tosee and talk to her?" she said placing her head on her palm looking down at the elf "Mistress is not angry with Kreacher?" the old elf says lifting his head "honestly Kreacher I am more hurt that you made the decision without my knowledge, I guess you were doing it to help me were you not?" she replied.
The old elf nodded while saying "Mistress Narcissa, Lord Draco and the Dark Lord were the ones Kreacher talked to" eyes widening again and her whole body shaking she takes a breath in then says, "you said the DARK LORD was there?" looking at the letter like it would curse her "yes mistress, the dark lord seemed different than what Kreacher has heard when intruders and traitors talk about him" the elf says Arianna moves in her chair to fully face the desk and puts her head in her hands while moaning "Alright then who wrote this letter Kreacher?" she said eyeing the letter as if it would bite her "the Dark Lord did mistress" came his reply "The Dark Lord wrote me a letter?" she said blinking like an owl looking at the letter then the elf and back to the letter –seriously...Tom wrote me a letter... WHY...I need to read the letter- Arianna hissed out slipping into the serpent's tongue yet again without meaning to. She shook her head and stood up from the chair and grabbed her clothes and walked to the door opened the door and closed it seeing the wards go up and walked down the corridor to the bathroom.
As she reached the bathroom Ron came running up to her with a strange look in his eyes before he could get close, she walked into the bathroom and locked it when wards with a similar glow shimmered over the door and a yelp of "BLOODY HELL WHY DO THE DOORS DO THAT!" followed by a loud knocking on the door with Ron calling out "Arianna come on, are they really necessary" at the sound of the knock Arianna had put her left hand on her right wrist and had her palm aimed the door around chest height why she did this did not make any sense as wandless magic is not used, she always trusted her instincts when it came to defending herself and she could feel in her palm a spell just sitting there waiting for it to be needed "Go away Ronald! I am bathing and it's indecent for you to even try to get into here anyway we are not and will never date you know this" she says glaring at the door "Oh come on your joking right everyone knows we are going to be dating soon as we get back to school in a few months" came his reply to her the way in which he said it made her spine straighten "GO THE FUCK AWAY RON GO...KREACHER GET HIM AWAY FROM THIS DOOR AND DOWN TO THE KITCHEN!" Arianna yells the spell in hand glowing bright red and pulsing with a runic circle appearing around her hand with each pulse 'what is going on? Is he trying to...no don't go there' flies through her head suddenly the sound of a body hitting the ground with a thud is heard and the old elf's voice rings out "Blood traitor should leave the mistress alone the wards protect her from you. Kreacher should make a mess of young weasel" then it's silent eerily so before the shimmer of the wards pulse and disappear.
Shaking her head she turned toward the shower and turned on the taps and stripped her sleeping clothes off then tested the water before climbing in and letting the hot water run down her slim figure. Zoning out while she was showering, she thought about what Ron had said and a feeling of dread filled her then thought about reading the letter wondering what the feared wizard could had said in it –why do I feel like something is going to happen to me- she said as she washed the last of the conditioner out of her hair and turned the water off grabbing the towel in the rack and rapped up her body. Suddenly the feeling as if she was exposed and not safe, she called out again "Kreacher can you bring me back to my room?" without an answer a gentle wrap of magic wrapped around her, then she was in her room with the old elf holding her clothes "The weasel is with the Curse breaker...curse breaker is not happy with the weasel and is handling it... Mistress, are you ok?" the elf says.
"Kreacher...where is the master bedroom or suite I am not safe here, something about this encounter it doesn't seem right. I feel like Ron was going to...I do not want to even think about it but...I felt wrong and scary." Arianna said shaking looking at the pulsing wards glowing on her door like the house was trying to protect her "Master bedroom is on 4th floor Mistress, the floor above where intruders sleep, it is for the owner of home and family" the old elf says handing her clothes while she puts them on, she thinks about what the elf had said –THOSE BASTARDS! - she all but snarls in parsel-tonuge her magic rising and causing the air to become heavy and warm as her magic danced around her in a shimmering ribbon looking like painted pastel rainbow in the dim warm candlelight. Snatching up the letter not even caring if it had a portkey on it when she put the last of her clothes on the unfolded the letter and it read est Arianna Potter, While I will not Apologize for the prior year, I will apologize for the loss of your godfather, my offer I made to you I your 1st year still stands if would change your mind, I also would like to extend a good will if you like and should you wish to know what the Dark stands for you need but old ask dear girl. From Marvolo Avada green eyes once again blink mimicking an owl after what seems like a lifetime, she opens her mouth and a high pitched "WHAT" falls from her lips.
