Minerva, Filius, and Albus quickly stunned the Weasleys. Carmen took out Harry after the glass of a window shattered and was directed towards a student. |
"That’s enough for today. To your common rooms. Quickly now." Albus sat down with a sigh as he dismissed the students. |
Fabian and Gideon Prewitt. The twin brothers of Molly Weasley who had died in the last war.0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0 |
George was the first to wake. He looked to his left and saw his parents and Ginny dozing off on a conjured sofa. His brother was next to him as always, but Harry was off in a corner having what appeared to be a heated conversation behind a privacy bubble with Sirius. His little brother was in one bed over. |
What he didn’t expect to see was Bill standing guard at the foot of his bed. |
"Hello big brother. What did I miss?" |
Bill smirked. "Sirius is attempting to stop Harry from declaring a blood feud against the House of Goyle." Bill cocked his head to the side where Sirius and Harry appeared to be arguing. |
George tried to sit up, but his mother’s hand descended on his chest. "Leave them to it son." |
"Mum. They were your brothers." |
Molly nodded. Her eyes red and swollen from crying. "They were, but this is out of our hands." She watched as the bubble came down and the noise from the two men became loud. |
"THEY ARE MY BOYFRIENDS! THEIR FAMILY IS LIKE MY OWN! YOU CAN’T EXPECT ME TO..." |
"What I expect you to do is calm the fuck down." Came Carmen’s voice. |
"Stay out of this!" Harry snarled. The windows in the infirmary started to rattle loudly. |
Carmen thrust out her right hand and Harry flew into the wall. Sirius was about to retaliate when Morpheus and Filius stunned him. Minerva put up a shield around the Weasley’s. |
"Revive." She hissed in Parseltongue. She held out her hand for a calming drought. She forced his head back and made him swallow. "That’s it little brother. Let it work for you." |
Harry’s eyes came into focus as he looked at Carmen. "Was that really necessary?" He asked as he rubbed the back of his head. |
"Yes you jackass!" Carmen started to pace as the other professors revived Sirius. The shield was taken down from the Weasleys, who immediately came to Harry’s side. |
"Did we not just have a discussion about being powerful magicals and controlling ourselves?" |
"I didn’t kill anyone unlike you." Harry spat back. |
"Oh you want to go there do ya?" The pissed off witch just glared at him. "Professor Flitwick would you care to tell him what happened in the Great Hall?" |
Filius Flitwick looked like he wanted to be anywhere else but the Hogwarts infirmary right at this moment. "You shattered one of the windows Mr. Potter. And attempted to direct the glass into Mr. Goyle. Minerva and Albus were able to erect a shield in time to protect the students..." |
Harry dropped to his knees. He had lost control. AGAIN! He promptly threw up the contents of his stomach. When he was done, Sirius handed him a glass of water and cast a breath freshening charm. |
"How long?" Sirius asked with a hand on his shoulder. |
Harry just shrugged it off as he got off of his knees. He looked at his big sister. "Don’t ask me again." He then stormed out of the hospital wing. |
"Don’t ask him what?" Fred asked. |
"Not to defend the people he loves with everything he has." Carmen said quietly. |
"Sis this was not your fault." |
"I know that. But he’s young. This is the first time that he can remember that he has a family that cares about what happens to him. I should have known that he would react badly." Carmen was sad, but she wasn’t sorry that she had knocked him out. |
Sirius cleared his throat and looked to the Headmaster. "I’m presuming there will be punishment?" |
Albus nodded. "As it is so close to the end of the year, all four boys will be serving two weeks of detention when they return to school after the holidays." Albus looked to Ron. "I am extremely disappointed in you my dear boy. Fighting in such a manner is never allowed."He held up a hand when they went to protest. "I ... |
"THERE BETTER BE MORE THAN DETENTION" George Goyle thundered as he stalked into the ward. |
"Nice of you to join us Mr. Goyle. We were just about to discuss how a knife that most of us know for certain never left Gideon Prewett’s side was found on your son. As I’m sure you are aware it was reported missing when the family claimed the body. |
George glared at the Headmaster. "It’s a family heirloom." |
The Headmaster pondered for a moment. "You must forgive me George, but in all of my dealings with your family, I was not aware that they belonged to the Prewett branch. I might be mistaken. Old age I suppose." |
George Goyle panicked for a moment. "I must have been mistaken. It was given to me by my brother. I gave it to Gregory." |
"Splendid! I’m sure that given your political leanings you are excited to see it returned to an Ancient and Noble House." |
Mr. Goyle bowed his head. He knew he had been beat. They had no proof, but he was the one to take the knife from Gideon Prewett’s body. He was part of the ambush of the Prewett twins. "And what of the attack on my son and Heir?" |
"That is for me to decide. Now I’m sure you want to see to your son. He’s behind that curtain there." Dumbledore indicated said curtain.0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0 |
It took some time, but Sirius found Harry on the third floor. He was sitting on the ground crying. He sat next to him. |
Sirius handed him a handkerchief. "Will you hear me out now?" |
"Yeah." Harry said solemnly with his head down as he mopped himself up. |
"I don’t feel that they should go unpunished. What I think is better than calling them out in a Blood Feud, is destroying the House politically and financially. Believe me kiddo. You don’t want the Potter name to be associated with only bloodshed. Trust me I know. Slow and easy pup. Slow and easy." Sirius slung an arm ... |
"I don’t want to lose any of you. I’ll fight to the death. You know that." |
"Yes fighting a gaggle of Death Eaters is one thing. Taking out the Great Hall is another." Sirius laughed, but then sobered up. "No flying until the new year." |
Harry gasped but nodded. |
"And I will be having a conversation with Cara." |
"I understand." Harry nodded. |
Sirius hugged his godson close. "You have a lot of power pup. You need to learn to control your anger while at school. I wouldn’t be mad if we were in battle, but this was a school duel. Goyle may have got the knife as a gift from his parents. I’m sure he isn’t some innocent kid, but what if he was? Harry thinking like... |
"I’m sorry dad. It’s just...I could feel the hurt from them...and I..." |
"Lost control." Sirius nodded, turned Harry over his knee and landed a hard smack to Harry’s backside. "Do it again and it will be ten times worse." |
Harry had no problem with this type of discipline. He knew what he did wrong, and when the punishment was over it was over. No wondering what was next three days later. Sirius didn’t hit to hurt just because he could. He hit to teach a lesson. And boy did his arse sting. |
"I can’t imagine how much worse that could be." Harry said while rubbing his backside. |
Sirius raised a brow. "Want to give it a go?" |
"No thank you!" Harry put his hands around his buttocks protectively.0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0 |
The only reason why Pansy was not arrested and expelled for having a spare wand, was because Dumbledore, surprise surprise thought she could be redeemed. |
Snape was not so forgiving. He took her prefects badge and gave it to Greengrass. He turned back to her. "You idiot girl. How you ever ended up in Slytherin House I will never know." |
Pansy crossed her arms over her chest. "And what is that supposed to mean professor?" |
"You already have another month of detention added on, would you care to make it four?" Snape raised a cool brow. |
Pansy immediately corrected her attitude. "I’m sorry professor." |
"What it means Miss Parkinson is that you brought illegal implements to a school sanctioned dueling tryout. Anything could have been summoned from you at any time. Granger is many things, but idiot she is not. She was fighting an opponent whose family is rumoured to be Death Eaters. What she did was completely legal, a... |
"But she’s a Mudblood. She shouldn’t know about those things." The girl whined, but then cringed at her voice. |
"Please a meteor. An earthquake. Anything.’ Severus mentally prayed. |
"Think about it you silly girl. All of her close friends are Purebloods. Except for one very influential half blood. Ever heard of him? His name is Harry Potter. And I can guarantee that in his pathetic attempt to beat the Dark Lord he has had all of his band of merry idiots researching dueling and battle techniques." |
"I didn’t think of that." |
"Obviously. Now for your complete stupidity, you owe me one thousand lines of "I will never be a dunderhead again’. Leave" |
"Yes professor." The girl nodded and stood.Severus laid his head back on his office chair and sighed. This had not been the first time that his students had not lived up to his standards. |
However, this was the first time that Potter had shown some semblance of a backbone, intelligence, and power. |
This was the first time that the infuriating force of nature known as Carmen LaVaunt entered the castle. |
But if he had to be honest. This time was the first time that he felt he could be free of at least one of his masters forever.0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0-o-0 |
Everyone stood around them as George gifted the newly blessed knife to his brother. "May you always cause mischief Freddie." George said with unshed tears in his eyes. |
"May you always be at my side when I do Georgie." He took the knife with pride. |
Everyone shed a tear as the two brothers sliced their palms and joined hands. |
Aurora Sinistra, who stood over this version of the Honouring of the Fallen ceremony finished her part. "May these brothers honour the memory of their uncles Fabian and Gideon. May they be at each other’s side in war and in peace time." She looked off into the distance. "Twins are a rare gift. Magical ones even more so... |
"Yes." He said with a smile at his brother. |
"Fred do you except?" |
"Yes." He said with tears in his eyes. |
"The ceremony is over. May your bond be as strong forever as it is at this moment. REMEMBER FABIAN AND GIDEON!" |
"REMEMBER FABIAN AND GIDEON!" Everyone else echoed as they took their sip of wine. |
A very loud gong sounded as the twin brothers embraced each other. Hogwarts had approved.But Albus would not. |
"You need to go. Now." Aurora ushered Harry, Fred, George, Hermione, Neville, Ron, Ginny, Lee and Luna out of her office. They all made it to their dorms before curfew. |
"You did well Priestess." Carmen gave a respectful bow. |
Aurora turned quickly. "How did you..." |
Carmen put her hands up in placating gesture. "I too practice what are called the old ways in this country. You are not long out of training if my guess about your robes is correct, but you should be commended for your service. How did you know to do the ceremony if I may be so bold?" |
"I heard what Harry said about the olde ways and took a chance. He swore a vow of secrecy and approached the others to do the same. Are you going to tell the Headmaster?" She asked wearily. |
Miss LaVaunt snorted. "Hell no. This place needs more ritual magic." Another gong. "See she agrees with me." Carmen looked around. "May I help you dismantle the altar?" |
Aurora nodded. "Please." |
As the women worked to put the place to rights, Carmen asked a question. "I have been involved with "The Ritual of the Fallen’ before, but this is nothing like I’ve ever seen. Tell me about it if you would please." |
The Astronomy professor smiled. "About a hundred years ago, two twin sisters were taken captive by an evil witch. The High Priestess of the coven at the time used all that she knew to get them back. It failed and both of them died. I don’t have to tell you how strong the magic of magical twins can be when combined." |
The other woman shook her head and continued to listen as she dismantled the table. |
"The High Priestess delved deep into ritual magic, arithmancy, runes. She felt that she had failed her best friend who was their mother. Eventually she came up with a ritual for magical twins. It would involve the previous set of twins in the family dying in battle or murdered in cold blood, before they could pass on t... |
"I’ve...wow. I’ve never heard of that before." Carmen gave a respectful bow. "Would you mind if I read your coven’s notes on the subject? I would love to add it to my own. With your High Priestess’ permission of course." |
Professor Sinistra eyed her shrewdly. "I will ask her." |
The ladies looked around and saw that their work was done. "I bid you goodnight. Aurora." |
Aurora paused in returning the greeting herself. "Carmen. Have you ever thought of becoming a priestess yourself?" |
Carmen turned and walked towards the exit. She stopped and turned to the other woman. "I...I have seen too much death and destruction. I would not be a good one." She continued to walk out of the door. |
"Be blessed. Sister in the faith." Aurora muttered as she watched Carmen walk out of the door. |
The next morning Harry was running late to breakfast. He wanted to finish up his ancient runes project and he had lost track of time. He took his usual seat in between Fred and George and gave them both their morning kiss on the cheek. He was dishing up some eggs and bacon when he noticed that the hall was deathly sile... |
"What?" he asked as he paused the fork at his lips. |
Hermione who was sitting directly across from him pushed the Prophet in front of him. There. In blazing letters stood the front page headline. |
