The Siren

Chapter 12

I sat it my living room smoking another joint when a knock came from my door. I flicked my wand at it and it swung open to reveal Egor. I smiled. "Come in." I said to him and he entered, shutting the door behind him. "You know I am beginning to think you are not happy here." Egor stated while watching me. "Lately? No." I sighed and took another hit. "Vat troubles you, Erika?" He asked as he walked over and sat down beside me. "Everyone... They just have their own secret agenda that seems to be about me. Like what are the chances that a decendant of Ravenclaw, who happeneds to be half merman and obssessed with me, happeneds to show up claiming to be no threat?" I asked. He stroked his beard. "I found that very suspicious my self." He agreed. "And Mad eye? There's something really off about him. Its like he's playing the role of himself but its not really him playing himself." I said. "Vike a mask?" He asked. I nodded. He looked to be in deep thought while staring at me. "Your mother had the same scense about people." He said with a distant look. "Is that how she found out you were a Death Eater?" I asked softly. He looked at me sharply. "How did you know?" He asked. I smirked. "Mad eye likes tipping people off." I mused. He glared at the table. "That and you and Severus can't help but rub your left forarm from time to time." I added with a knowing smirk. He nodded with a chuckle. "Very perseptive you are." He stated. I smiled softly. "Voldemort is looking for a weapon." I said suddenly. Egor looked at in alarm. "How do you know?" He asked. "Every now and then I get these images in my mind of him searchin for a weapon that is so powerful, it could kill us all." I answered. There came a pounding on the door. I got up and walked over to it, opening it to see Peter. "What are you doing here?!" I hissed and was about ask him to go away but he grabbed me. I screamed as I felt the tip of a wand to my head. Everything went black.

I woke up on a hard rough surface. My eyes fluttered open to find myself in a tank on a rock. "Isn't she extrordinary, Wormtail?" Someone wheezed. I groaned and clung to the rock as my tail moved slowly, trying to get my barrings. "Apsolutly... extrordinary." The voice rasped. I looked around but everything was blurry. "Peter... I'm going... to kill... you." I said breathlessly. I clung to the rock as everything was swaying. A raspy breathless laugh hit the air. "It seems... like our guest is coming... around." The voice said. I closed my eyes and began to sing. I felt better but drained some how. I looked down and saw a cut on my side. I looked up as my vision cleared. "I need... to heal." I said slowly. I saw I was in a tank and in a room with a fireplace and a chair with its back to me. The person in the chair chuckled. "And how... do you... heal?" The chair asked. I groaned. The chair laughed. "Wormtail, help our guest... heal." The chair hissed. I looked up and glared at Peter through the glass. "Yes, Peter. Come help me heal inside a tank of water." I hissed. Peter gave me a deer in headlights look. "M-my lord?" He squeeked nervously. "Do it wormtail!" The person in the chair roared. Peter jumped and crawled up the ladder and fell into the tank. He swam over to the rock and pointed his wand at me. "N-no tricks!" He stuttered. I noticed he was a poor swimmer. Using my tail, I swiped at his legs and he slipped into the water. I let go of the rock as I slipped into the water. I grabbed him and swam to the bottom of the tank. I knocked his wand out of his hand. I rolled my eyes and kissed his lips lips. I could feel myself healing as he put his grubby hands over my waist. I wanted to vomit but I was almost done healing. He grabbed my breast and I pulled away, swam to the surface, and pulled myself on the rock. My legs came back as my wand suddenly appeared in my hand. I focused on the glass and put all my hate into it. "Burn." I hissed and the glass grew red and shatter causing the water to flood the room. Clothes appeared on me. I looked at Peter and started to sing. He stood up and held his arms open. I rolled off the rock and landed in his arms. I stroked his cheek. "Apperate me to Hogsmead, Peter." I ordered. He nodded dispite the person in the chair screaming at Peter.

We landed in Hogsmead when he snapped out of it. It was dark out but I saw the sun rising over the mountains. I landed on my feet and pointed my wand at him. He squeeked and lunged at me with a knife. I tried to duck but the knife was thrust into my gut. I was breathing heavily as I pointed my wand at him. He disapperated with a cruel smirk. I looked down and saw I was bleeding heavily. I groaned and swore under my breath. "Erika?" Came Minerva's voice. She appeared infront of me as I removed the knife. I dropped it as I put pressure on the wound. "Oh gods!" She gasped and raced forward to help me back to the school.
