From Slytherin to Gryffindor adventure Awaits!

Attack! Life or Death?

The second Aria said the creatures name it looked at her screeching loudly. Looking at her, an evil smirk curled on their face. Aria gulped as she turned around; it was time to run, there is no way she can deal with a harpie! The second Aria was about to start running she tripped over what felt to be a root. Getting back up quickly knowing she couldn't see the floor anymore because of the fog. Though that was the least of her worries. Running she heard the wings flapping right behind her, the harpy screeched again swooping down at her.

Good thing Aria tripped when she did because if she didn't the Harpie would have gotten her. Trying to lose the Harpie Aria would try and use the tree's as a blind spot. The harpie getting annoyed at Aria's actions swiped her wing a strong gust of wind came from it along with feathers flying towards Aria. Aria winced feeling something graze her arms and legs. Her robe soon started to become tethered slightly.

"Ah! No! My robe!" Aria's robe was being pinned to a tree by feathers as she desperately tried to pull herself free. The Harpie swooped down as Aria tried to duck but was met with a claw that sliced across her back like razor blades. Screaming in pain Aria's head dropped feeling the blood start to fall down her back. Pulling out the feathers quickly then tossed them on the ground. There was no way she could win. A distraction is what she needed to get away pulling out her wand pointing it behind her.

"Incendio!" she yelled out.

The fire making spell did not work but it created explosions that would cause dust to fly up. The dust got into the Harpies eyes as it screeched, trying to see properly. This is exactly what she needed. Aria was actually thankful for the explosions her wand makes.

Heart racing, sweating, bleeding and fearing for her life. Aria was able to take shelter behind a tree for a few moments trying to catch her breath. The pain she felt was unbearable as she saw her vision was blurring. Not able to control her body she just leaned on the tree passing out for about two hours.

Being awoken by a screeching sound. Shooting up seeing she was still in the forest wincing from the pain she felt. Aria stayed behind the tree, trying to think of any spell that could help her. Any of the spells she did know were not powerful enough to help her. Along with her wand issues. She might not make it out of here alive. Hearing what seemed to be a crow she looked up seeing it cawing loudly. A screeching sound came after. The tree was then started fall as Aria's mind went blank as she jumped out of the way. The wind the tree produced when it fell caused Aria to fly forward causing her to drop her wand a few feet away from her. The pain was unbearable. Her body was not listening when she tried to stand up, she just stayed on the ground. Hearing the screeching sound in the distance. it was closing in. Was this it? Being alive only eleven years. Was there anyone or anything that would save her?

Suddenly Aria remembered a conversations he had with her brother during the winter break about spells.

"There is this one cool spell Ari. This summons a lightning bolt to hit your opponent." Victor said

"Really? How do you use it?" Aria asked being curious

"Well it is a difficult spell. Difficult but powerful. You need to have full trust in yourself." Victor was looked at Aria making eye contact as he pulled out his wand to show it to her.

"Next you need to believe in yourself, in your wand. Meaning be confident. Know you can do it"

Aria narrowed her eyes looking to the side. Her wand was upstairs on the night stand. Confidence? Believe in your wand? There is now way she could possible have the ability to even make the spell work. Victor noticed his sister's actions before he smiled slightly messing with her hair.

"Many wizards know a lot of powerful spells. Just they can't execute. You can't be a witch or a wizard without your wand. They are apart of you, an extension of yourself. That is why they say the wand chooses the wizard Ari. Once you believe in yourself everything else will become easy, trust me."

Aria was silent before looking up at her brother

"What is the spell called?"

"Tempes Aculat. The only wand movement required is just pointing your wand up at the sky. Simple" Victor smirked slightly.

Looking to the side Aria saw her wand within reaching distance. No time to lose, she dragged herself towards it. Everything her brother said was true. She had no self confidence, never even believing in her wand or herself. This is why nothing would work for her, her wand didn't work because she needed to work on herself. Now was the time, to believe, to be confident, believe they can make it out of here alive!

Aria reached and grabbed the handle of her wand the second she did she felt the warm feeling she had when she first got her wand. Aria couldn't help but smirk slightly as she looked at the Harpie glaring. Slowly standing up Aria raised her wand towards the sky. It was now or never. She believe in herself, there was no way she was going to get killed by an oversize chicken!

At the same time the Harpie started to fly down toward her.

"Tempes Aculat!" Aria Yelled out loudly towards the sky. Instead of the usual sparks that came from her wand. There was a bright white light that flew up into the sky.

Suddenly a lightning bolt struck the Harpie electrocuting her. Aria was too close so she was caught in the crossfire and sent back flying. Her head colliding with a rock when she fell. Feeling warm blood fall down her face. Sitting up slightly she saw the Harpie was out like a light, Aria smirked to herself.

"we. did. it." Aria said slowly as everything started to fade to black as she passed out.

Aria sat up gasping when she looked around seeing she was in an unfamiliar bed. Wincing and holding her head from a major headache, she looked around the room. Recognizing that she was in the Hospital wing back at Hogwarts.

"You got pretty hurt yourself" A familiar voice spoke.

"Harry!" Aria exclaimed he was in the bed right next to her he had bandages on him.

"What happened to you?" She was worried but he seemed to be feeling alright.

"I'll tell you if you tell me what happened to you" Harry smiled

"Of course!" Aria returned the smile as they started to exchange the story of what happened to each other.
