What Magic?

Chapter 26

Serena's dad, Xavier Revis^

My head is pounding so hard I'm scared it may explode but I'm not sure if that would be bad because it would finally stop hurting. I hear someone calling my name but it feels so distant but it sounds nice. I blink my eyes open slowly as I take in my surroundings to see I'm in a cell like thing.

"Serena, oh I'm so happy you're awake!" I wince at the loud voice but turn to see Albus sitting next to me and observe the chains around both our legs.

"Where are we?" I groan as I sit up and lean my head back against the wall hoping the cold may make it stop hurting as much.

"I'm not sure but you've been out for a few hours," Albus responds scooting closer to me and wrapping his arm around my shoulder, which is kind of out of character. "I just know it's not a very nice place and whoever brought us here isn't very nice."

I lean my head on his shoulder wincing when it touches by relax. "Why does my head hurt so much?" I ask while reaching up and rubbing my temple trying to soothe it, it's basically all I can think about at the moment.

"They threw you in here pretty hard and you probably have a concussion," He responds holding me tighter as we hear footsteps outside the cell door. It creaks open and in walks a woman with pitch black hair and piercing black eyes. She had on a black robe that was pulled up on her arms being sure to show off her Dark mark.

"Clarice Blade," Albus growls as he stares at her angrily.

"So, you've heard of me?" This Clarice Blade remarks smirking down at us with the look of a lion staring at her pray.

"My dad has been looking for you for the past seven years," Albus retorts back at her while still intently glaring at her. "The mass murderer who turned to the Death Eaters just so she can kill more people."

"That's not entirely true, it also has to do with the ministry sentencing both of my parents to death once they were captured after Voldemort's death, I know they would be proud of what I've done," Clarice sneers at Albus before turning her attention to me. "Ah, hello Deary, I've heard so much about you."

"What do you mean?" I asked a bit scared as I move closer into Albus's side for comfort. I know this isn't going to go very well.

"We have all been watching you very close and from our insider we've learned quite a bit about you. I must say it is quite exhausting to know where someone is and be so close but yet not being able to get your hands on them," She sighs exasperated as if she had been looking for a long time.

"What do you want with me?" I ask softly not sure if I actually want to know the answer. "What have I done to you? I don't have anything that you could possibly want."

She looks at me as if to see I was telling the truth or something when her eyes brighten and her smirk returns. "Well we found this book on you when we captured you," She says while pulling out the Death Eater book with all the treasures and starts flipping through it. "You know I never knew we had this much stuff, this book just shows how successful we've been."

"Did you finish it?" She asks and I slowly nod my head and her smirk widens. "So, I'm guessing you saw this." She opens the book to the page with the large diamond in the very back.

"Yeah, Zachariah's Hidden Stone, what about it?" I asked a bit curious, maybe she can tell me why it seems so familiar.

"A stone that is able to keep spells from hitting the wizard who possesses it as well as keeping the wizard from accessing their own powers. Lord Voldemort used to wear it when in meetings with someone for the the first few times," She says pacing in front of us and I feel Albus stiffen a bit as his eyes widen. "It was stolen from us about a decade ago."

"What does that have to do with me? Why am I here?" I ask not entirely understanding why she is telling me all this.

"You idiotic girl, you are wearing it!" She yells at me angrily as she points down at my chest and I look at my necklace and it all clicks, the large diamond was in the book. How did I get it? "Your daddy stole it from us over a decade ago when he snuck pass our defenses."

"That's not possible my dad doesn't even know the wizarding world exists how could he steal anything from you," I ask once again confused, how could she possibly think my dad could do that, he's a muggle.

"Of course he does, he a part of the purest bloodlines in the whole of the wizard world. We aren't sure why he stole it, but apparently we had made it quite easy. When he stole it we knew he had to have a reason as to why he stole it so we presumed it was for someone. But if it was for someone they had to be very important to him. We've been searching for him since he betrayed us, but he's been in hiding," She starts, I wouldn't say ranting, but explaining the whole ordeal while I'm just sitting here really confused.

"I still don't see how you think my dad did all this," I say looking at her to which she just stares at me as if I have no brain or something. "Are you stupid or do you really not know?" She asks staring to which I tilt my head to show my confusion. "Wow." She starts laughing loudly starting me a bit. "Awe, you don't even know who your dad is, how sad."

"I know who he is!" I yell not liking how much she is denying my knowledge of my family and I don't like that little part in my that wants to agree with her.

"No you don't!" She snaps then calms down a little. Your dad was a great Auror, but we didn't find out about this until the after thought, he had  abandoned his job and disappeared off the map. He joined us not too long after but betrayed us just as quick before disappearing again. Your father is none other than Xavier Revis."

I gasp, that's not possibly Phillip is my dad I don't remember ever seeing him. "No," I respond quietly.

"Yes, we have been looking for him but we couldn't find him and while one of our people were investigating Hogsmeade they caught a glimpse of that necklace of yours and knew you had to be the someone he gave it to. Because if his need for the Stone was that strong that he would become a Death Eater then what he was planning to keep locked away was so powerful that it just had to be with someone important," She says walking forward and squatting so she was closer to us. She uses one of her sharp nails to tilt my head up but I jerk away from her grip.

"That doesn't make any sense. I'm not that powerful I'm not even that important so why would he give it to me," I argue trying to stay as far away from her as I can be but the Wall was directly behind us.

"No clue, but we do know that if you are as powerful as we believe you would be better off dead," She says then glares at me before she looks down at the necklace and rips it off my neck. "We will start the fun tomorrow, enjoy your last few hours."
