This is Who I Am

Chapter Seventeen

I haven't been spending time Dàsos lately, so the rest of my day was dedicated to him, my furry not so little boy. My wolf has doubled his size, when he stands in his back legs his head reaches my stomach. Together we ran in the woods, played in the lake; and that night the campfire was held and Dàsos had his first marshmallow. Needless to say he didn't like it to much. After a while we went to the cabin so I can pack, we go back to Hogwarts tomorrow. As I was packing someone started to knock on the door, curiously I walked over with Dàsos right behind me. I opened the door and seen Luke standing there, I smiled and asked him why he was here.

"Chiron told me to get you, someone is here to speak with you. They are in the Big House." I nodded and gave him a hug before rushing off to the Big House. When I arrived I was taken back. Chiron, Dumbledore, Sev, and mother was sitting at the table. Why was mom here? This can't be good. I knocked on the door to with acknowledge my presence, all eyes fell on me. Chiron was the first to speak.

"Welcome child. We have something to tell you, some of which is good, some of which is bad, and some of which is interesting. But before we can start, we are waiting on one last person to arrive." Just as the old centaur finished a bright light appears, I quickly covered my eyes. A tinkering laugh filled the room. Lady Aphrodite now sits across from mom. She smiles at me and motions to the set beside mom; I take it and this unexpected meeting begins.

"As everyone in this room knows, Ms. Potter is a witch, which means she has to attend a school. The school she currently attends is Howarts; but this school is unsafe for her at this moment. Professor Snap and I have yet to come up with a protective spell or potion to help Ms. Potter. So until we can figure one up, she cannot come back, due to the harm she may put herself through. Until then Severus will personally teach her what she needs to know." Dumbledore started the meeting, and I'm shocked. I can't go back to Hogwarts? But that's crazy! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really do miss it there. Chiron speaks next

"We are aware, but there is also problems here now. Not as severe as the school, but non the less problems. The three of us, Lady Artemis, Lady Aphrodite and I will send you on a quest. No it will not be as dangerous as Luke's, but it needs to be taken with caution. We are unsure of how long it will take, but you will leave tomorrow morning. This is a quest you need to take alone, more so know as a discovery quest. Your life has been troubled, currently and in the past. So I order to find some clarity Lady Artemis and Lady Aphrodite have created a quest for you. I will now allow them to explain."
My mother looks at me and then Aphrodite, back at me and begins to speak.

"Child, I am asking you to go and find yourself. I know it sounds insane, but you are lost. You lost yourself these past few years and I cannot stand to see you like this. Not again, not after you have already been through so much. I know you hated me before, and I do not want you to hate me again. I can only help you in this quest three times, so use them wisely. I can come in person, in your dreams, or send you help. But only if you call and ask. You have no set place you need to go, or no set thing you need to retrieve. The only thing I ask of you to do, is not die. Once you have found yourself, you will get something; I will not tell you what, because it is a surprise. But you must know that I live you dearly, and that this quest will do you so much good. Now Aphrodite will explain her part of this quest."  Lady Aphrodite smiles kindly.

"Ivy, do you remember the dreams I have sent you?" I nodded. "Good, remember they certain person. For my portion of this quest, you shall find that person. I will not tell you who, where, or anything if the such about them. This is for you to find out. During this trip you will change. Physically, mentally, and emotionally you will change. I cannot help you like your mother can, but call my name and I will try my very hardest to come to you. Just know that I do believe in you dear. Good luck."
