"Elise and Sarah must have had a reason if he was taking orders from them… Draco said they wanted to take over the ministry but I know there’s more to it than that-" She stopped as something ahead of them caught her eye. "Hey, someone’s climbing out of the Whomping Willow!"

Knowing that the tree hid the way to the Shrieking Shack, they both rushed over hoping one of their friends had returned to tell them what was happening. Instead, they found Healer Drake standing and dusting himself off as he muttered unhappily to himself. Catching sight of them, he raised his hands and shook his head. "No, I won’t let you two talk me out of this either. I warned them that if they went back to that island I was going to go to Dumbledore… they chose to go and I have to do what’s right, even if Lupin is with them."

"What island? Who went where with Lupin?" Ginny demanded.

Drake looked back and forth between them before it seemed to dawn on him. "You two don’t know what’s going on, do you?"

"Please tell us." Ron begged.

Ginny remained calmer, seeing her opportunity to both help and get information. "Take us back to the Shrieking Shack to wait for them… please, if we don’t know anything then you certainly don’t know everything. Going to Dumbledore could ruin whatever is going on and will only get us all in trouble and perhaps even force Dumbledore to take action against us to save his own position. Just wait with us, tell us what you know and then we can demand together that they tell us the rest. And then if you still feel it necessary, you can take us all to the Headmaster."

He looked at her a moment before sighing heavily. "Fine, I wasn’t thrilled with the idea of having to be the one to tell on you all… I certainly got into my own brand of trouble in school, even if it was never as serious or dangerous. Besides, it’s not like I can tell Dumbledore where they went so he can’t go help them. I guess we’ll have to hope your friends are as capable as they think they are."

(BREAK)

Having felt them coming, Harry had instantly cast a shield to protect his friends from the immediate attack Elise and Sarah had ready for them. But his concern for the others had left an opening against him and he felt Sarah reach out with her power to grab hold of him and send him flying back down the beach and far away from everyone else. Quickly shaking it off, he got to his feet ready to return to the fight only to see that Sarah had followed and brought the fight to him. "Let them be Harry, let them live or die as fate chooses… you’ll only be left with the strong ones."

"There are many different ways to measure strength." He answered angrily, using his mind to reach out and grab one of the heavier stones that had earlier been used to trap him… then he hurled it at her as if it weighed no more than a pebble. She quickly ducked and used the rock to hide behind should he decide to use his wand. Feeling her use her power to try and grab hold of him again, he strengthened his resolve and focused on pushing her consciousness away from him. He saw the surprise and anger in her eyes as she realized he was using his own power to hold himself in place. "It’s a lot harder to go against me when you haven’t stolen my powers from me first." He taunted, taking a moment to glance down the beach to check on the others. What he saw made his heart stop and his vision go red… Elise was standing by with a cruel smile as one of the men she’d cursed tackled Luna to the ground and tried to strangle her.

"We tried to tell you about her." Sarah called gleefully, clearly having seen what was upsetting him.

He threw another giant rock to shut her up but he was still unable to move… As he fought her power being used against him, he found that he’d become frozen in place. Clearly the only thing to do was get rid of what was in his way. Seeing Luna weakly raise her wand and Elise drop in pain, he made sure to point it out to Sarah. "Even so, she took down Elise with an unforgivable."

"It’ll end when Luna dies… I’m not concerned." She taunted back.

It was enough, he’d had enough. Once more gathering everything he had in him, he reached down deep to that dark and instinctual place before turning to the two stones Sarah was using to shield herself. Picturing the rocks in his mind, he squeezed them and imagined them exploding in a thousand pieces. And then it was really happening… Sarah screamed in genuine fear as solid rock flew in her face and knocked her back several yards into the trees.

Harry didn’t wait to see whether she’d lived through it, it didn’t matter… she didn’t matter. He rushed over to help Luna and saw that the man was on the verge of succeeding in taking her life. Elise stared up at him, struggling to hide her pain even as her body was convulsing beyond her control. He didn’t have to be able to read her mind, her intention was right there in her eyes along with the agony she was feeling. She wanted him to kill the man and prove her point about him as surely as Luna had proven herself to be exactly what she’d thought her to be… too kind to fight. Instead he used his power to break off a large branch from a nearby tree and as soon as it was in his hands he swung, connecting heavily with the back of the man’s head.

With his wand out and ready should the man persist, Harry was relieved that the hit to the head was enough. The man released Luna and collapsed over her as she desperately gasped for air while choking and coughing. Meeting her eyes, he saw that the heavy man was still preventing her from getting air and he quickly waved his wand, carelessly hurling the body aside before kneeling down next to her. She rolled to her side and clutched her throat before looking up at him in sudden terror. She pointed her wand past his shoulder, "Stupefy!" She yelled hoarsely.

Harry whipped around to see the person that had been about to cast behind his back fall to the ground stiffly. "Can you get up?" He asked as he quickly turned back to her. Luna swallowed hard and nodded, taking his hands and letting him pull her to her feet and into his arms as he took a moment to hold her tightly, comforting himself in the fact that she was very much alive. "Come on, let’s go help the others, find Fred and Hermione and get the hell out of here."

She turned to release the curse from Elise but he reached out and stopped her. Elise’s eyes widened and she turned to stare directly at Luna. "You’re really going to leave me here like this?" She gasped out pitifully.

"Why not?" Harry answered for her. "This way we’ll know exactly where you are. You were right, maybe Luna is too nice for her own good… but I’m here to make up the difference." He sneered down at her, knowing it was her who’d ordered that man to kill Luna in the first place. Ignoring her protests, he took Luna’s arm and forced her to ignore them too as he led her away. "Just let her be and focus on them." He said quietly as he pointed out Jacey, Draco and Lupin who were trying to carefully round up and capture the rest of the people currently under the girls’ curse.

Though clearly uncomfortable, Luna nodded in agreement before cringing as the movement made her sore throat hurt. Taking a deep breath, she continued walking away from Elise and quickly waved her wand, casting a binding on a woman who was part of the group attacking Draco. "Are you two okay?" Jacey called out as she surrounded three people in a ring of fire and allowed Lupin to bind them in place.

"We will be the sooner we can get out of here!" Harry called back, making sure that he stayed close to Luna as they all fought and dueled endlessly. "What happened to Hermione and Fred?"

"Last I saw they were just inside the woods." She replied.

Suddenly there was a loud cracking sound as the entire row of trees lining the beach exploded. Everyone managed to shield and when the dust settled, they found both Elanya and Sarah standing in the wreckage. Harry saw the intentions in their eyes and instantly shielded himself again while once more gluing himself in place as both girls came after him.

(BREAK)

It was clear right away that Hermione was uncomfortable being underwater, but she did her best to stay below the surface and keep up with Fred. Once certain they were far enough away from Elanya, he slowed his progress for her and because his leg was screaming in protest. He tried not to move it much, using just his arms and one leg to propel himself through the water. Once certain they’d swum out far enough he lit his wand, illuminating their way as they turned and began swimming around to the other side of the island. It took a long time, even longer as she slowed down having not had the opportunity to get in as much practice as he had in the last few weeks. At last he was able to make out something ahead of them and motioned for Hermione to surface. She nodded gratefully and shot up out of the water. Fred was much more careful when he surfaced, looking around to be sure they hadn’t been spotted. Looking up, they saw a ship towering over them and letting them know they’d successfully found their way.

"It looks like they’re having trouble." Hermione said in concern, after ending the charm he’d cast.

Releasing his own air bubble, he took in the grim scene out onshore that their friends were apart of. Elanya had just made her way across the island with Sarah and they were creating havoc for everyone. "How many people do you think they left to guard the ship?" He asked.

"At least the captain if they’re smart… although I’m sure if necessary, Elise or Sarah could figure out how to drive this thing." She answered, looking at him curiously as she waited to see where he was going with this.

"Come on, we’re about to play pirates and commandeer this vessel." He grinned, turning and swimming right up to the ship. Waving his wand, he called for the small rope ladder to unfurl itself so they could climb aboard.

"I don’t know about this… I’m not sure I can pull myself up there after so much swimming." She said nervously. She already looked so tired and she hadn’t gotten the burst of healing energy from Drake like he had, but he knew they had to push on in order to get themselves somewhere safe where they could all finally rest and recuperate.

"I’ll climb up first." He offered. "Then all you have to do is hang on and I’ll reel you in."

"How are you going to get up there with a hurt leg?" She argued, always one to completely think things through before she did them.

"Very carefully." He grinned, pulling her close and kissing her lips in reassurance before turning and grasping the ladder. Using his tired arms, he pulled himself up and used his good leg to hop up to the next rung. At last he made it to the top and carefully peeked up over the deck... he was truly surprised to find it deserted. Apparently Elise and Sarah hadn’t planned on any of them trying to steal their ship. Bringing himself up the rest of the way, he looked down and waited for Hermione to get a good grasp before tugging the ladder up and helping her climb onboard. "You okay?" He asked as he took a moment to catch his breath.

"Better off than you." She answered as she looked him over.

"Undoubtedly, but this isn’t the time to stop and rest… which way to the wheel?" Using the railing to pull himself to his feet, he leaned heavily on it as they made their way around the boat and into the captain’s box.

"I think this raises the anchor." Hermione said as she studied the three levers on the wall.

"Well pull it and lets get this show on the road." He said as he waved his wand and started the engines. Moving to the wheel, he waited to be sure the anchor had actually risen before driving full speed ahead… straight towards the beach.

(BREAK)

Luna watched as Elanya waved her wand and attacked Harry without warning. He shielded, but from the way he grit his teeth in determination she could tell Sarah was trying to work against him as well. His power overcame hers and she went flying as Elanya renewed her magical attack against him. Luna rushed toward Sarah and quickly shot a stunner but Elanya shielded for her friend before turning and pointing her wand down the beach to release Elise from Luna’s earlier curse, ensuring both her comrades were back in the fight. It didn’t take long for Elise to get shakily to her feet and shoot a stream of fire towards Harry. He was distracted by both her and Elanya as they went against him, leaving Sarah with Luna.

She quickly hid herself behind a large stone before Sarah was able to rise to her feet, not wanting her to know where she was and use her telekinetic powers to toss her around. Peeking out, Luna saw her looking around angrily and took her chance, raising her wand and leaping out. "Petrificus Totalus!" She yelled, watching in triumph as Sarah’s limbs locked together and she fell forward stiff as a board.

"No!" Elanya screamed before turning to lunge at Luna. Before she could react, a wall of fire blazed between them, keeping the other girl from reaching her. She looked to Jacey gratefully who nodded before rushing to help Harry deal with Elise who seemed beyond furious as she whipped fire at him without pause.

The ship’s horn blared suddenly, much closer than it had been before. Luna quickly gazed out to see the thing barreling through the water toward the beach while Hermione stood on the bow and wildly waved and shouted for their attention. Everyone on the sand who was in control of their own mind scrambled out of the way while Luna, Harry, Jacey, Draco and Lupin quickly moved those under Elise and Sarah’s Imperious Curse.

"Grab Lupin and Draco and get them out of here!" Harry shouted to Jacey as he raced to grab Luna’s hand. In an instant they were both on the deck of the ship with Fred and Hermione.

"I think I broke their boat." Fred said in greeting, wearing a large grin of satisfaction.

Luna glanced down at the beach and felt bad for all those people they were going to be leaving behind with the three psychotic girls. And then she saw Elise looking up at them. "Everyone get down!" She yelled, waving her wand at the same time Elise attempted to set the ship on fire. The ocean responded to Luna’s spell, quelling the flames before crashing down onshore and taking out Elise, Sarah and Elanya, pulling them out to sea as the water receded back to where it belonged.

"Jacey got Draco and Lupin out, let’s do the same." Harry said as he also surveyed the beach. They all four grabbed hands and within moments, they were at last all whisked safely away to join the rest of their friends.

(BREAK)

Draco was only slightly surprised to find Ginny and Ron standing in the parlor of the Shrieking Shack along with Drake when Jacey brought him and Lupin back. He tried not to meet her eyes as he could tell she was angry and just barely holding it back in an attempt to remain reasonable… at least until she received an explanation.

"Where are the others?" Drake asked immediately.

"They are a few moments behind us." Jacey answered as she tiredly sank down into the couch.

Sure enough, Potter, Granger, Luna and Fred appeared, all four instantly sitting themselves on the floor as they attempted to catch their breath and rest their battered bodies. "Fred?!" Ginny exclaimed, rushing over to kneel next to her brother in confusion and concern. "What are you doing here? What happened?"

"Elise, Sarah and Elanya… they proved I’m a moron and everyone had to come fix my mistake." He sat up and wrapped his arms around her. "I’m okay, Gin. I promise."

"That’s yet to be seen." Drake said disapprovingly as he looked them all over.

"We need to get back to the castle to meet with the Aurors about Erebos." Lupin came forward and placed a hand on Draco’s shoulder. He was suddenly extremely grateful that he wouldn’t be here to face Ginny’s wrath… hopefully by the time he saw her again, she’d have had the chance to calm down.

Drake nodded. "It seems whatever injuries you two retained are already healing on their own… I would recommend fixing yourselves up a bit first to avoid unwanted questions."

"No, everyone needs to stay right here and tell me what the bloody hell is going on!" Ron shouted angrily, finally losing what little control he’d found.

"Relax Ron, don’t be mad at everyone else… it’s my fault you didn’t know anything, I didn’t want anyone to know but as always that became impossible. But you and Ginny couldn’t be in on it because everything I did was to keep you both safe. You should be grateful you have such a caring big brother." Fred replied with a wide, sheepish grin.

"You should be grateful you’re too banged up right now for me to feel good about punching you in the face." Ron muttered, clearly unamused. "How was it better that Ginny and I not know that there was a professor with the intention of killing us?!"

Draco looked to Fred for the answer as well, having been wondering exactly what kind of situation had warranted his siblings not knowing their lives were in danger. He shook his head and looked at Ginny who seemed more willing to actually listen than be mad like Ron. "I knew none of them would let anything happen to you guys… but I was scared because for a while, no one knew it was Erebos. All we knew was that there was a spy and I worried that if they somehow found out you all knew they would react without warning. Once Hermione, Lee and Luna figured out who the spy was we knew who to look out for I was finally able to stop doing what Elanya told me because I didn’t have to worry about some shadowy figure going after you guys. Rather than make you guys worry, I guess we’d all hoped I could come back without anyone knowing and then tell you. But at first no one at all knew… Hermione figured out what happened to me, then she went to Luna for help and then Harry became involved… I guess they went to Draco for help in finding where I was and then they came and got me."

"From where? What happened?" Ginny asked while looking at Draco out of the corner of her eye.

Lupin held up his hand to hold off explanations. "We have to go talk to the Aurors. After I leave Draco with them, I’m coming back for all of you to bring you to Dumbledore where you can tell him whatever version of events you all choose. Get your stories straight while Drake patches you all up and get ready to go to the castle… that includes you Fred." He said with complete authority in a tone that suggested there would be no arguing. He waved his wand over himself and then turned to do the same to Draco, fixing and straightening their clothes, cleaning them up and making them presentable and not at all like two people who’d just spent time dueling on an island.

And then without a word, they were moving to the trap door and through the tunnel. True to his word, Lupin walked him into the castle and back up to Dumbledore’s office to face the Aurors. He stopped outside the gargoyle, looking up thoughtfully before turning to Draco with a hardened expression. "Albus will be looking out for your best interests up there, but only one of the Aurors is one we trust and thankfully it’s Kingsley. If the other two try to blame you in any way for anything at all, don’t say a word other than to request I be there for the rest of your questioning. You may be of age, but as a student they can’t question you if you request the presence of a guardian or other form of representation."

"I barely know anything other than I saved Weasley’s life." He replied, feeling Lupin’s concerns unwarranted.

He nodded gravely. "I’m preparing you for the real world Draco… Sometimes if one of our kind is involved in something, it doesn’t matter how innocent they are, they still get blamed as a way to get them off the streets. Prejudice runs deep in some people and unfortunately there are those among us who give them rightful reason to fear us. It won’t matter that you aren’t like Harland, that’s who they’ll see when they look at you, at me, at anyone like us. It’s something you’re going to have to get used to much more often than you’ve had to here where more open minds have forced the closed ones to tolerate us."

Feeling nervous and angry, Draco nodded and made his way up. Dumbledore rose and gestured to a seat before him as Kingsley and two other Aurors with disgusted looks on their faces stood beside him behind the desk. Apparently the Headmaster had the same concerns as Lupin as he urged Kingsley to be the one to question him. "Your witness is here, Auror Shacklebolt. Let your record show that as Headmaster, I am currently acting in my student’s interests above those of the ministry."

"Noted sir." He nodded with a grim smile before turning to Draco. "Mr. Malfoy, I simply wish you to make a statement telling us everything you know involving Professor Erebos, beginning with when he came to Miss Weasley’s door."

He took a deep breath and went over the day’s events as he recalled them, leaving out of course anything involving the island or Fred. When asked, he claimed to not know why Elise had been on school grounds and he told them he had no idea as to either her or Erebos’s intentions. Thankfully Kingsley stopped his peers from veering too far off topic and after a tense twenty minutes, they must have felt they’d gotten all they were going to get from him and Dumbledore excused him before anything more could be delved into. Clearly the headmaster knew there was more to the story, but he was going to wait and get it from Potter and the others after the Aurors departed with their prisoner.

He went down to the common room and hurried to the Gryffindor wing, ready to sit outside Ginny’s door for as long as it took before she showed up. He was surprised to only be waiting a few moments before she arrived, staring at him from down the hall. "I didn’t think you’d be here so soon." He said as he nervously got to his feet.

"Since it was determined that Ron and I had nothing to do with any of this, Dumbledore excused us so he could focus on everyone else." She answered stiffly, walking up to open the door and walk into her room.

He took the fact that she left the door open for him as she went to sit at her desk as a good sign and cautiously ventured in. "Is everyone okay?" He asked carefully as he slowly closed the door and leaned against it.

"Drake fixed them up as best he could… apparently he was upset that Fred had re-injured a leg he already healed once. I take it since you and Lupin came into this near the end that you’re both fine?" She was upset but there was still that moment of concern that crossed her eyes.

"I swear Ginny, I didn’t know what was going on. I mean, I guessed some of it because they had to tell me certain things to get my help… but I wasn’t sure of anything… How could I have told you something I wasn’t certain of?" He took a few steps forward as he attempted to make his flimsy case.

She stared tensely at him for a moment longer before shaking her head and allowing a slow grin to spread across her face. "Relax Draco, it’s not you I’m mad at… or at least you’re the one I’m least mad at."

"Are you okay?" He took another hesitant step closer, still unsure whether or not to believe her shift in mood.

"Better than Fred, Harry, Luna, Hermione and Jacey. They’re a mess after whatever happened out there… which is why I’m taking pity and waiting until tomorrow to berate my brother. But, I guess I also have to thank everyone for making sure Ron and I were safe… It’s annoying to not be able to be as angry as I’d like to be. I’m not sure I like this whole growing up and maturing thing." She got up and walked over to wrap her arms around him. "I suppose I’m just glad to have you all in my life, even if you all manage to piss me off on a regular basis." She teased as she looked up at him.

He grinned in relief that she was letting him off the hook… at least for now. "Right back at you." He teased in return.

She nodded and stepped away, taking his hands in hers. "There’s just one thing…"

(BREAK)

Harry sat back on the couch with Luna and Jacey as they allowed Fred and Hermione to fill Dumbledore in as they were the two who knew the most and more importantly, what to disclose and what to keep to themselves. They had agreed to go with whatever story Fred chose and were attempting to listen in case they were asked any questions. But Harry was too focused on other things, despite the aches and pains he felt on behalf of himself and Luna, he was relieved to feel the return of his telepathy… And even though he didn’t like what he saw or felt it was comforting to be able to have that connection to her given back. While they’d been disconnected, it was almost as if he’d lost one of his senses and it had left him feeling disoriented. As soon as they got back to school and away from whatever was blocking them, they had instantly reconnected and whether they wanted it or not, their minds had crashed together to display the memories and thoughts they’d experienced while separated.

Now in Dumbledore’s office and after having had time to get used to things as they were supposed to be, they were able to recover and maintain the balance they’d been working to achieve since opening up and bonding so completely with each other. But still, even though she wasn’t putting it out on display, he could see she was stewing over something that was bothering her.

What’s wrong? He asked, allowing Fred, Hermione and Dumbledore’s voices to fade into the background as he concentrated on keeping their conversation private from Jacey.

Luna mentally shook her head. I was just thinking of my vision… the one where Simon and Elise are each calling out to us…

And? He prompted, suddenly feeling nervous.

She shifted so she was able to look him in the eye and impart the seriousness of the intuition she was feeling. It’s occurred to me that now Simon and Elise have both made their arguments as to which of them to pick as an ally.

What about it? He knew she’d seen Elise and Sarah proposition him on the beach in his memories though she was carefully keeping her feelings about it to herself… he allowed her to do so, intent on waiting until she was ready to discuss it. As for Simon’s clumsy attempt to mimic his sister’s actions and kidnap them to talk to them, Harry wasn’t sure what to make of it… He certainly didn’t trust either sibling though that was more Elise’s fault than Simon’s. He was certain Simon believed everything he said, but Harry just couldn’t get past the doubts that told him Elise may have somehow set her brother up as another way to get to them.

It’s up to you, Harry. That’s what the vision was telling me. Luna said gravely and with concern. You’re the one who has to decide what to do, which one you’re going to decide to pick… and at some point, you are going to be forced to choose though I don’t know the circumstances yet. But it’s clear, one of them is going to give you a reason to pick them to align yourself with.

What’ll happen? He asked, feeling the pressure of bearing the consequences should he make the wrong choice.

I can’t know that until you choose. She answered sadly before a sense of determination washed over her. But I’ll keep trying.

NOTE: Fingers crossed I’ll have the characters out of Hogwarts by chapter 60… I just can’t believe how much this whole story got away from me J See you next time!
