Danni Hope:Fixtures For The Broken(Years 3 & 4)

Chapter 9

(Start checking the message board frequently, I'm going to post news and have fan DH and LB discussions! YAY!)

I sat straight up in bed, panting and looking back and forth in panic. Sirius was staring at me wide-eyed, "Dans? A-are you alright?"

I nodded and cursed when I saw the full bottle of Dreamless Sleep potion beside my bed.

"Breakfast is ready," Sirius said awkwardly, climbing off my bed. I nodded and he gave me a worried look.

"I'll be down soon, I need to get ready."

Sirius nodded and left the room. I cursed under my breathe about not taking the potion as I grabbed my clothes and headed into the bathroom.

Cleon padded back and forth in the kitchen, looking to the stairs with worry once and a while. He felt horrible for what he did, all the lies he told to his companion.

"I'm a house elf."

"She's my sister."

He shook his head miserably, he was going to be the death of his friend.

Remus looked longingly at the stairs where Cleon stood pacing. The golden eyes cat caught the golden eyes of the werewolf before turning away again. Remus felt like he recognized the cat from a book some where, and in his spare time, had gone and searched a few in the family library, but had found nothing. Foot falls had caught both the werewolf and felines ears and they both gave sighs of relief when Danni came down the stairs.

So, when I had tried to put my glamor charms back on, I could still see the scar above my eye, as well as a blood red streak in my hair. I still didn't know what it was from, but it wouldn't come out when I tried to clean it, and the glamor charms wouldn't hide it. But, that wasn't the worst of it. My scar, the lightning bolt brand on my forehead, was as visible as the sun in the sky. I tied brushing my hair in front of it, and it slightly covers it- I'm just worried my hair will move and make the scar visible.

Cleon was looking at me worriedly as I adjusted my shirt again.

'You alright, Ringtail?' he meowed.

I shook my head at him, and saw Remus stand up from the table.

"Dans?" He questioned, eyeing me like I was a injured animal. I ignored him and sat down next to James. James and Sirius shared a look.

Mum spoke up, "Tomorrow you will be going back to Hogwarts. Do you have everything ready?"

I nodded and the boys did too.

"Good."

That night, I remembered to take the potion, and was finally able to get a good nights sleep for once.

"Danni! get up!" Remus shouted, shaking me awake.

"What?" I groaned, trying to enjoy my sleep for a bit longer.

"Hogwarts!"

That woke me up, and I was up and pulling a shirt and jeans out of the drawer. Remus laughed and ran off to go wake James and Sirius.

I changed quickly and was able to use my glamor charms, but this time, the scars were hidden, but not the branded scar or the red streaks.

We got on the train and got in the first empty compartment we could find. Remus and James started talking about Icess, but Sirius was focused on me.

"You can Dans?" He asked quietly.

"I'm fine Sirius, but what happened while you where at home?" I asked in a low voice.

Sirius sighed, "I'll tell you after the feast."

The compartment door slammed open and Peter fell in with a cry, running over and hiding behind Remus. I was the first to pull out my wand and the first to be hit with a kick to my stomach.

Remus, James and Sirius were up in seconds while I tried to catch my breathe from the blow. In the doorway stood Severus, Lucius, Bellatrix, a blond girl, and the black haired boy from my dream.

Sirius glared at the black haired boy, "Regulus."

I looked from the mark of dirt on my shirt, to Regulus' shoe to see he was the one who caught me.

He was the only one to knock me down. He was the only one who was at my level in power.

Regulus smirked at me, "Sirius, it seems your little friends can't handle themselves against me."

Sirius threw himself at Regulus, while James helped me up.

"Let go of me Potter!" I growled, gasping for air at the same time as wanting to tear Bellatrix's throat out.

James did and I fell forwards, unable to get up from the floor and having a worse time of breathing.

Severus looked to Lucius and he nodded. Lucius tried to break up the brothers fight while Severus pulled out a necklace with a ruby gem on it, placing it around my neck.

Sirius punched Regulus so hard in the face, everyone could hear the crack as he fell backwards, clutching his nose.

Regulus sneered at me one last time before leaving the compartment, the other snakes in tow.

"You all right, Dans?" James asked worriedly from where I lay on my stomach on the floor.

"He's hot," I sighed, resting my chin on my arm.

(Sorry it's been so long! I wanted to make this a long chapter :D)
