The Elders (Harry Potter FanFic)

Chapter 9- The Shattering Truth

Astrea's POV

Well, that.... That was just awfully weird and creepy.

I cautiously walk in, the door creacking slightly making my nerves go wild by the simple action. My breath was already ragged against the air and everything fell unnatural around me. My hands sweating and the hairs in my neck all up as an uneasy feeling made me shudder. What the feeling was? Well, I was kind of in the middle of confronting Dumbledore with what could be just any normal nightmare..... Or, most probably, the true memory of my father's death.

"And what may I help you with, dear Astrea?" Dumbledore's eyes shining with sweetness and a glow in him-the usual.

"Hello, professor." I took a deep breath, "I came here instead of class rather because I must discuss some things with you. Some very important things."

"I'm all ears."

I tugged slightly on my collar, adjusting my Slytherin tie, and began,

"Well, professor, lately I've been seeing weird episode like things in my head-though, t'is only happened in my sleep-and I'm not too sure of them just being dreams, or rather nightmares." It was true. That wasn't the first time. I've already seen a woman quite some times, and most, she'd be doing something to protect her children, which I presumed were us, and that made it possible that she most probably was our mom. My mom. "Though yesterday's dream, or more coherently, flashback, was just different. There was a man and he had a crown, I believe he was my father, telling some guard to warn the queen, my mom, to keep the children, us, safe because war was declared upon us. Is it true that Tom Riddle wanted our race to join his side and because of our refusal he decided to then wipe us out of the face of the planet? Is it true that Tom killed my father too? And who was the one to kill my mom?"

I saw a bit of a grimace appear in the old bat's face, though the little bit of hope was evident in his eyes as well,

"Hmm...You say flashback? Were you there or was it only them and it was like watching this happen?"

"Well, I know for a fact that I couldn't of been physically there, but it wasn't like I was just watching from sidelines either. It was like I was there, say right beside my father, but he couldn't see or hear me. It did kind of confuse me at first, but I figured it out and got through it." I let out a heavy sigh.

"Then it appears like this is your first Elder power; important things that may need to be relieved now can because of you. And toward your other questions, yes that is what happened and unfortunately your father was in fact murdered by Voldemort. About your mother though.. I don't believe it's in my place to say, though you'll definitely know when the time is right. Is that all?"

What could he mean by not his place in this to say it? Who would tell me when the time was right? Would Tom come back for us? For me? Although all those questions revolved around my head in circles consequently I shook my head and left toward my second period of the day thinking about the bitter and shattering truth.

.........................................

The day was as normal as it could get, boring, though still with some little occurrences. You know like The Weasleys and the Flours- They are pretty much like the marauders; best friends even though from opposite houses. I even gave them a name, DDT, which stands for 'Double Double Trouble'.

But yeah... Nothing to do.

Right now we are all at the Astronomy Tour practicing spells, and by all I actually mean:

Nina and Kenna? Well, they were with some friends, chatting about their graduation and hanging out. I also heard that their crushes who happen to be best friends were there too. What where their names? Logan and Liam? Yeah.

Next were Adam, Avani, Dimitrios, Georgius, Era, Aura and Erion. They were all also hanging together because of them all being sixth years and were also with some friends. I was kind of excited because I wanted to meet Georgius', Dimitrios', Avani's and Aura's boyfriends and girlfriends. Some of them were Elders!

After, there was Calder, Aysu, Wiley, Arvin, Sequoia, and Kaius with some friends, laughing and talking like there was no tomorrow.

I? well right now I'm in a corner, wishing to suddenly disappear off the face of the earth. Why alone, you may ask? Well, I don't blame them or anything, but, Harry, Hermione, and Ron all had something to attend to as they put it in.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and let out a sigh, turning around, my eyes meeting grey ones, "Draco?"

"Yes, in fact. It is me. What are you doing here alone? Shouldn't you be with the Weasels or the Pot head, how about Mudblood?" He still wore his robes, not forgetting his matching stupid smirk with him.

"The real question is, what are you doing here? I mean, last time I checked, you weren't anybody's friend here. And as to the other question, none of your business." I huffed and sat on a plastic chair nearby that had been brought here.

"Well, alright. I'll leave you alone. But Astrea? Remember, not everyone here is trying to get on your nerves. I mean some of us do care enough."

He gave me one last pointed look and left to were ever Slytherins like him go, leaving me speechless... And maybe, possibly, just a little bit, or more like much more, pissed off than before.

Now, I may have ruined any possibilities of being friends with normal Slytherins forever. I mean, he is not called Prince Slytherin or the hire of Slytherin for nothing.

"Hello, what are you doing all alone?" I looked up and saw probably the most gorgeous or at least most handsomest guy in the face of this earth. He was definitely not a fourth year, that's for sure. Though, I could tell I'd seen him before, but I can't seem to put my finger on it.. Oh, wait! He's kinda waiting for an answer.

I looked up and flashed him a nervous smile,

"Hey, I, um... Well I don't really know. I mean, my brothers and sisters are scattered about everywhere, it's just my friends-Harry, Hermione, and Ron- are kind of in a situation and- yeah, I don't really have anywhere or anyone to be with." I flashed another of my uneasy smiles at him and this time he gave me one back. A very attractive one at that.

"Ah, so you must be the littlest princess otherwise known as my two best friends' sister. What is your first name? I know it has something to do with... Assy?" He asked, eyes shining with what I could only guess as mischief.

"Astrea. Meaning star of nature. Ooh, and you say my brothers? which ones? Oh, I'm so stupid! What's you're name? I can't help but think that I've seen you before at school..." I smiled sheepishly, my hair turning its tips pink along with my cheeks.

"Metamorphagus, I see," He took a piece of my hair, twirling it around his slender fingers, only making it turn pinker, "I have a cousin like that. Though, I know that each Metamorphagus has different colors for different things. Like her pink color. It's for being disgusted. Something I'm sure this isn't for," He winked, "Adam and Erion- Cool guys really. Can't ever go wrong with them and well, who wants to infuriate an Elder? I'm sure you've seen me around the halls but I'm a sixth year, also a Triwizard Champion, does Cedric Diggory ring any bells?"
