Dragon's Promise

Chapter 40

EDITED

Albus' P.O.V

Scorpius can be pretty damn amazing sometimes. The trunk is about the size of a briefcase and is as large as a small house. It weighs virtually nothing and stays warm at night. 

We left at midnight. Sneaking out of the castle was surprising easy. We just cast our patronuses and kept them going until we were away from the dementors. Everything was going to plan except that we didn't know where Delaney was. We figured if we made a big disturbance then she would take notice so that's what we did. We had found a spell that could combine two patronuses to create one extra powerful patronus. Our idea was to find a large group of dementors and completely destroy them. 

"Are you ready?"

"As I'll ever be."

"This will be incredibly draining so think of the happiest moment you possibly can." I said and Scorpius nodded. 

" De duabus animabus expecto patronum! De duabus animabus expecto patronum! Se duabus animabus expecto patronum!" We yelled over and over as mist flowed from our wands into a bright white phoenix. It flew off towards the dementors surrounding the school. It got in the center of them and grew even brighter until we couldn't watch. A shudder ran through the ground and a whisper ran through the still night air. The light faded into darkness and when we looked the dementors were lying upon the damp spring dirt. Dead. 

"Holy crap that was wow-" Scorpius said before falling to the ground in a dead faint. I smiled a bit at what we had accomplished before it was my turn to slip into unconsciousness.

Ilumina's P.O.V

I woke from my slumber with an aching back. I had slept awkwardly on one of my wings and the feathers were digging into my lower back. As I dressed a Hyena patronus trotted into the room.

'The dementors at Ilvermorny have fallen. We suggest you make an appearance. Intelligence from inside the school says that a large patronus in the form of a phoenix was the cause.'

What the hell Scorpius. And Albus too. What were they playing at? I sighed and adjusted the belt at my waist. I strapped on my dagger and slid my pistol into it's holster, making sure that it was under my coat. I had to cut holes in my clothes to allow for my wings and it was starting to piss me off. At least I could use my wandless magic for dressing and such. I strolled outside and pushed off from the ground, my large wings beating the air so hard that I could see the tops of the trees move in my wake. I breathed in the crisp morning air. I was just getting bored so this would be a good distraction and I needed to make myself known to the school anyways. 

As Ilvermorny came into view I held back my excitement and smoothed down my white blouse and ran a hand through my long brown and blue locks. I needed to look perfect for my first big appearance as Ilumina. I could see crowds of students starting to form in the courtyard as they spotted me and others who got caught between classes. I snapped my fingers and compelled everyone to congregate in the courtyard with the rest of them. Once I was sure everyone was there I began to descend, my hair flying about my face and my wings beating strongly. 

I landed on one of the pillars surrounding the courtyard and addressed the crowd. 

"My name is Ilumina. You may have heard of me, but if not, you know now. I am your queen. I will unite the countries of our world and bring the ministries and congress together to form one, strong nation of witches and wizards. If you don't join me then you will be killed. I have an entire army behind me." I spread my wings and my arms, summoning my soldiers out of the shadows. Gasps rose from the crowd and I smirked. This was going perfectly. "My soldiers are not death eaters. They are  Mortem Angeli. But this is not my reason for coming here. No. I could care less what you think of me. I'm looking for two boys. They come in a bonded pair. Scorpius Potter and Albus Wood! I used a silent spell to call them forth but they didn't appear. 

"Where are they?!" I roared. The crowd of students and teachers shrunk back. It was pathetic. I was only fourteen and yet I had almost taken over the whole world in a couple of weeks. I sighed and released the people below. The scattered immediately and rushed into the castle. I turned around to face my army of angels. 

"Find them! They can't be far!" I ordered and the responded with a synchronized 'yes m'am' and a perfectly in time turn into the shadows. I waited and waited but nobody came back. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. I really need to work on this. 

"Delaney!"

I whirled around. Scorpius.

"That's not my name. You will address me as Ilumina." 

"No we won't."

We? Just then Albus stepped out and joined Scorpius, grasping his hand and looking up at me. 

"We can help you, Delaney. You can fight back, we know this isn't you!" He yelled and I smirked. They still thought I was possessed. I touched a hand to my mark and sent my soldiers away. 

"Come with me." I said and jumped from the pillar, landing softly in front of them. I touched their shoulders and brought us back to my palace. I noticed that Scorpius was holding a small trunk. I have to admit, I was amused. "Why did you bring us here?" Albus asked. I laughed. He could be so slow sometimes. 

"I brought you here so you would join me. Or so I could kill you. Your choice." I shrugged and their eyes widened. 

Hehe. So I have no idea what I'm trying to do but I think this story will be around 50 chapters in total. Hope you still like the story... is Ilumina telling the truth? Is that really who she is? I don't even know. Yay.
