Red hair and a Hand-Me-Down robe? You must be a Weasley!

Chapter 25: Annelise's Bedroom

After learning Occlumency and Leglilmens, Harry taught us the Crucio curse and the Imperius curse too. It was alarmingly terrifying but he said it was important for the coming war. "Lola, Amber, you must know that these three curses are the three worst curses any witch or wizard could ever learn. You must promise me and Dawn that you would never use it until you come face to face with danger like this. Got it?" I nodded while Amber nodded slowly. She looked unsure. "Amber," Harry raised his voice. "Yes. I promise." She replied quickly. Then though for a second. "Um... what year is Delphi in?" Good question Amber!

"I-... I'm not sure. We never sent her an invitation and never saw her being sorted into Slytherin. I feel like she sneaked into hogwarts using something like a polijuice potion and got sorted into Slytherin. Never in my life have I ever heard of her." Harry trailed off, looking out the window dreamily. Then he shook himself. "Follow me." He said. I raised an eyebrow as he walked us toward one of the bookshelves. Picking out one book at a time, he frowned. "Which book is it? Dawn, where are you when I need you? Aha! Purple book. I'll remember that next time... I hope." I gaped as an enormous doorway slid open from inside the bookshelf. "This is Annelise's old bedroom. She lived in here before... her childhood stuff still stays here and thats why I want you to stay inside of here for until Dawn comes back."

"You're confining us?" Amber cried. "Kind of. Her things are super useful for the war. Things like books and magic objects. Take some objects and remember some things from the books. Don't stop storing information until Dawn comes back. Try to remember it for the war too" Harry said. Pushing us inside, he smiled and the enormous bookshelf door slid shut. "He's crazy." Amber groaned. I nodded. "Yep. Well, let's look around." We turned and then gasped. This room was honestly amazing. There were books everywhere and little objects all over the floor. I ran straight to the books and so did Amber.

Hours went by as we read of potions and spells, charms and curses. "Hey, this reminds me of Edward." I looked up. Amber was pointing at a page that had the potion called Armontentia. I glanced up quickly. That was a love potion. Amber was looking dreamily on the page, her Amber earrings dangling from her ears. "Amber, who do you love?" Her head shot up as I said it.

"What?"

"Who do you love?"

"Uh... N-no one"

"Amber," I warned. She's gonna say, Liam! She has to say, Liam! I know she loves him!

Amber sighed. "I- I give in. I love Edward. He's so trusting and gentle and kind and amus-"

"WHAT?!" I cried. "I thought Liam was your crush!"

"Liam?" Her eyes darkened and turned black, then normal again. "Don't bring up Liam. We've never been friends! Ever!" I stared at her shocked. Suddenly, when her eyes turned black, a black mist drained from her eyes and sparkled into her amber earrings. Then when it was gone, they were just plain black studs. I gasped. "AMBER!" I screeched. I leapt for the earrings and wrestled her to the ground. Amber was much stronger than me but I forced her body under the bed which was helping me to keep her down. I pulled out the earrings and Amber yelled with rage. Jumping back, Amber fell silent. She sat up and put her hand to her head.

"Lola, my ears hurt" She groaned. I sighed. "Thank goodness. Amber, who do you love?" Picking up the Amber earrings that were on the floor next to them, she put them back on. "I don't know." She shrugged, then pulled the book back over her lap. I stared at her. How could she be so calm when I just saved her from evil? Holding the black earrings behind my back, I pulled my charms book over my legs and started to read again. Feeling tired, I fell asleep into my book, dropping the earrings from my hand.

I sat up from my slumber as Dawn slid the door open. Amber was sleeping peacefully at my side, drool dripping from her mouth. I wiped it away with her robe, chuckling. "You remembered everything?" Dawn puffed, sitting down on the bed. I nodded, yawning. "I'm so tired!" I yawned. Dawn smiled. "Harry made you read for way too long. It's 3:00 in the morning. Everyone went to sleep at 10:00. You fell asleep at midnight."

"What?!" I frowned. Dawn pulled Amber into the bed she was sitting on and hid her under the covers. Amber snuggled in, still asleep. Lifting me up, Dawn smiled. "Yes. You're very tired. Go to sleep." She smiled, tucking me into the bed too. I yawned, really sleepy. I felt safe with Dawn. She felt like my own Mother. Hermione and Dawn must have been great friends. Giving me a small hug, Dawn whispered Goodnight and left the room, closing the bookshelf door behind her. I could barely hear Dawn and Harry's muffled talking through the door as I drifted to sleep. I was so exceptionally tired. I closed my eyes and fell asleep again, not knowing what would happen in the morning.

(A/N, sorry for the short chapter guys. I hope you like the book so far and are excited for the ending!)
