Dark Sister

Chapter 7 Transformation Troubles

Penelope Greenwood drew her wand and changed back into her school uniform. It was a white shirt with a black tie trimmed in gold, and a knee length black pleated skirt with a ribbon of gold around the hem, and white calf high socks with shiny Patten leather shoes. Her school robes were black with gold trim along the hems of the sleeves and the train. The collar was also gold and the school insignia of two winged unicorns rearing and crossing their horns with a witch and wizard was over her heart.

She waited until all of the Hogwarts students were grouped by house and, then walked over to the Headmaster and whispered into his ear. Albus nodded then got the attention of his students and staff.

"Quiet everyone, listen very carefully to my instructions or you may well end up being left behind on the outside of the school. Much like our school apparition in or out of the school is impossible. The only way to be granted admittance into the school grounds can only be accomplished by unity."

"That means that all of you must grasp the hand of your neighbor and not let go until the protective barrier is around all of us," said Headmaster Dumbledore as he and the other staff members all surrounded the blonde girl and placed one hand on her robes. The students all joined hands and gathered closer together.

Severus took ahold of Lucius's hand and his other one was grasped tightly by Sirius Black, who gave him a nasty disgusted look. Severus glared at Sirius, who cast a stinging hex on him just as the bleu transparent unity orb encompassed the students. Severus found himself knocked backwards into a patch of bramble bushes. He struggled to free himself from the bushes, but was too late. He watched helplessly as the blue bubble floated down into the mists of the falls and cursed his luck.

Down on the school grounds hidden inside of an airtight dome beneath the churning water of the falls the Super intendant of the Niagara school approached the visitors. "Welcome to Niagara Falls School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Albus, I'm glad that you took me up on my invitation," she said as she gazed over the students and staff with a happy smile on her face.

Eden walked purposefully through the crowd of Hogwarts Students looking for her little brother. The crowd parted and whispered as she passed them. She stopped when she saw the blonde long haired boy who had accompanied her little brother to the Dueling World cup arguing and cursing out a group of four boys. She frowned as she realized that her adopted little brother Sirius was among the boys on the receiving end of the blonde's anger.

She walked passed them saying nothing as she went, and made her way to Super Intendant Selene Whiterose. "Excuse me Super Intendant Whiterose, and Headmaster Dumbledore, I hate to interrupt your conversation, but if the headmaster would do a head count of his students, he will find that he is missing a student," she said as she stopped in front of the adults.

Penelope Greenwood walked up and got nose to nose with Eden and narrowed her eyes angrily. "Are you accusing me of messing up the warp spell," she growled?

"I need not accuse you of anything Penelope, you've accused yourself by not being observant," she said as she pointed up at the cliff side where Severus was pacing nervously attempting to get someone's attention.

"Merlin's Beard, the ground is weak and crumbly there," said Super Intendant Whiterose as she covered her mouth with a hand and gazed up at the boy on the cliff.

"Selene, if there is not apparition here, how are we going to retrieve our student before he falls," asked Albus as he too looked up at the cliff.

Super intendant Whiterose turned to Eden, who was already removing her warp, stone from the inside of her collar. "Don't worry, I'm on it," she said as she closed her eyes and grasped the warp stone tightly in her hand. She disappeared before anyone could speak or react.
