Suffering for Peace

Freedom, half then

They finally left and another group came then. They were yellow old ones this time, I have once seen them when they were younger, 4 years ago, they were sweeties. I didn't turned my back against them, I sat in their direction, but still humming songs. The teacher had his eyes fixed on me the whole time, it was a her this time and wore a pink outfit. God, what was she ugly. The students sat a bit around in group on the field or in the woods behind me. The woman didn't mind.

As she looked away, I fixed my eyes on her and once she looked back, I let my eyes fill with electricity. She was shocked a little but didn't move a single muscle after. She had the black box with the red button tight in her hand, pointed at me. She tries to threaten me, doesn't she?

I stood up and wiggled my chains a bit to lay the weight difference as she pushed on the button. I released a loud scream again but louder than before. I fell on my knees again and absorbed as much electricity as I could to lower the pain level. The woman did cover her ears or stepped away, she stood still on her place. It didn't seem to stop, the woman held the button in. blood started to come out of my mouth again as I began to feel weaker and weaker.

With the last source of power I had, I screamed louder and made a really storing movement to get my back straight. A wave of white and blue electricity left my body and pushed everything away that got in his path. It reached till where the grass started, that was a bit of a reach. My chains broke by the intensity of my power, but sadly the cage didn't. I stood strongly up with my face pointed at the ground and blood dripping out of my mouth.

I grabbed one of the steel bars from around me strongly and squeezed it as hard as I could. Electricity spread as fast as light and the steel began to melt off the heat. A hole had formed where I could fit through. I took my chance. I shot with the power of my wings at the woman and pushed her to the ground. I looked at her with a really angry face and formed a ball of electricity in my hands.

Acacia: Who is the powerful one now, huh? Do you want to feel the same pain I felt?

Newt: Acacia, that is enough. Please, leave her.

I looked Newt in the eyes, mine were full of electricity. I looked once again at the woman before releasing the blouse I had gripped on and stepping away from her. Before I knew it, a white flash shot my way and I fell asleep on the ground.

Newt: Are you mad?!

Snape: She could escape any moment, no need to thank me.

Newt: She wouldn't escape!

Dumbledore: Mister Scamander is right, she wouldn't and there is a reason for. It isn't an option to stick her back in that cage, those were the strongest bars and she still got through. There is only one person she trusts so it is best to let her stay with that person.

Dumbledore looked Newt's way who had crouched down next to me.

Dumbledore: We need to let her live among us to make her feel comfortable again. And Snape, you stay as far as you can away from her, she might just kill you when she got the chance. Give her the room on the 3rd floor, the one that was for sick students back in the days, and put a tracking spell on her just in case.

Newt tilt me easily off the ground without getting shocked when touching my skin. He carried me past all the students that stood around and teachers.

It wasn't difficult to carry me all the way tho the 3rd floor and he laid me down on the red dusty bed. He started to take my bandages off, it was 2 weeks later, put a tracking spell on me that was connected to a bracelet around his hand and sat next to the bed on a chair till I woke up.

Acacia: What the fuck was shut at me? Where an I?

Newt: It was a sleeping spell that shot at you and you are on the third floor in the castle laying on a bed. Since you burned the steel bars of that cage, you are staying here and living among us.

Acacia: So, you are letting me stay out of that cage?

Newt: Yes, but you need to stay around the castle.

Acacia: I am already happy that I am out of that thing. Now, what happened to that bitch?

Newt: Dumbledore is asking her why she electrocuted you and will find something to teach her a lesson.

Acacia: You look mad. Did something happen after that I didn't hear or saw?

Newt: No, it is just ... nothing.

Acacia: I am going to keep asking it until you say it to me. A promise goes both ways.

Newt: I have just never been this close to an ornis, physical and with a bond. I know a lot about your kind and I am mad at myself that I never read that one book where your royal family is described. You are a quarter of the book because of your unnatural.

Acacia: There is a book about us?!

Newt: It gets written down magically. Someone forgot the stop the writing. I could have helped you more if I had read that book.

Acacia: Well, now you are stuck with me so you can find it out yourself. But I can get angry if you start to ask about my mother, so don't do that.

Newt: Good to know that.

A little smile appeared on his face what made me smile a little too. He explained to me more about the daily routines here and what I can do meanwhile. I can fly a bit around but a signal will be send to Newt if I go too far, but I promised I won't fly away. I can be rude to students who irritate me but I can not attack them, only lightly threatening.
