Ch. 10: Prelude of Change.

The enchanted ceiling of Hogwarts Great Hall shone a clear velvet black, without a single star to mar it. White candles hovered in mid air, giving light to the cavernous room and reflecting cheerfully off the metal of the serving trays, plates, and silverware. Students from 12 to 18 crowded around four long, time beaten and aged wood tables. Voices growing louder as everyone struggled to be heard over the roar of a thousand students calling greeting to friends and insults to their enemies.

Amid the gossip was the suspicious absence of one potions master at the head table, along with two equally missing and equally well known students.

“You mean none of you have heard from Harry this summer?” Lavender Brown gasped, looking in shock at the Boy-Who-Lived’s best friends Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley.

“Not one letter and he wasn’t on the train either!” Hermione exclaimed with wonderfully pulled off false concern and naivety.

“Yeah and all our owls that we sent came back with the letter and baskets still attached to their legs,” Ron said.

“I hope everything’s alright,” Lavender said

“Of course everything’s alright; Dumbledore wouldn’t let anything happen to Harry!” Neville said sitting down with Ginny at his side, the pair of them had formed quite the close friendship over summer break, and Neville was surprised by her silence on the topic of their missing Savior. Not to mention the death glares that she continuously threw at Hermione and Ron during the sorting and up till the Headmaster, in ridiculously bright pink and green robes edged in a pale blue, approached his podium with a grim expression.

The hall quieted abruptly.

A long sigh came from him before he began, “Students, while normally this opening feast would be a cause for pure celebration I am forced to announce that something horrible has happened,” A long pause, “Harry Potter, our Savior, has been captured by the Dark Lord and we have every reason to believe that our own Potions Master Severus Snape was in on it, as was Mr. Draco Malfoy,”

The hall burst into noise: The Slytherins snickering and openly laughing at the dim witted fools around them while the Gryfinndors howled with rage, some accioing their brooms as if to race off and rescue their ‘friend’. Hufflepuffs were crying and clinging to each other, while the ones who remained composed comforted them. Calmest of all though, were the Ravenclaws, who whispered amongst themselves and leaned in to listen as Luna Lovegood said that everything was alright, that everything would become clear soon enough.

While to anyone outside of Ravenclaw it would seem that Luna was the outcast of the group, in all reality she was far more the queen. It was important to them, many of whom the Sorting Hat had debated between Slytherin for cunning and Ravenclaw for intelligence, that no one outside their house would know that Luna wasn’t floaty because she was crazy. No, it was that she was a Seer, quite skilled at that and better at her young age to be deserving of being the teacher of Divination than that knows-nothing Trelawny.

In the chaos no one saw Neville and Ginny leave Gryfinndor to head to the Ravenclaws, sliding in next to Luna. While Neville was barely holding it together Ginny shared a kindred look with Luna and they both nodded, taking Neville in hand and escaping the Great Hall.

“Wait! What are two – Where are we going?” He asked nervously, looking around as though Death Eaters would fly out of every corner and shadow at any moment.

“Clueing you in,” The two answered in union.

“Clueing me in to what?” He asked as they raced along the confusing array of hallways until they reached the corridor containing the infamous Room of Requirements. Three paces through the hallway and a door appeared, opening to let them into a small but well lit room with just a small circular table and three chairs. Sitting in them Neville looked at his best friends in both curiousity and not a small amount of fear.

“What?” He finally asked and the girls shared a look before turning back to him and saying.

“Harry’s mated to Draco and the Dark Lord is the good guy,”

Thankfully the chair Neville was in turned into a bed as the still chubby set youth fainted.

“Oh, Neville,”

To say that meeting room of the Death Eaters was silent would be a horrendous misrepresentation of just how quite it was. No one breathed, or blinked, and if asked latter many would say that they doubted their hearts dared to beat at all. Until Lucius snorted and started to giggle and shake.

Uncontrollably.

Then all hell broke loose… Chairs were pushed back violently, and the only sounds to be heard were shouts of half-said hexes, curses, and not a few unforgivables, all aimed at the Boy-who-lived-to-not-get-a-hair-cut. Bellatrix snapped and instead of pulling her wand chose to leap onto the table, hands curved into menacing claws aimed for Harry. Until suddenly everything stopped, frozen in mid air, the only things moving were eyeballs that all strained to see what had happened.

With very slow and deliberate steps Altari stepped from the shadows to stand besides a frozen Tom. Power seemed to radiate from Altari, the air snapping around with anger, as silver eyes feel with a deathly cool on the Death Eaters. Any completed spells that hung in the air flickered before dissolving, and the chairs all righted themselves as slowly the bodies were rewinded to their original seated positions. Without a blink Altari unfroze Tom and his mates as well as Harry and Draco.

Silence.

“Eck hm… Well, that was somewhat understandable,” Tom began only to be interrupted.

“Understandable? What else were you expecting?” Draco snarled, holding Harry’s shivering form close, “Explain this shit to them, we’re leaving,”

“That would be best, yes,” Altari said with a low bow towards Harry and Draco.

“Yes, it would,” Tom said, glaring at his Death Eaters as his son left with his mate.

“Ohhh Merlin,”

“Ginny, he’s coming around!” Luna said excitedly, helping Neville up onto his reappeared chair.

They spent the next four hours explaining the situation to Neville, mostly Ginny as she had been the one spying on her own parents and the order meeting, with Luna giving dreamily said cryptic analyses and what they were sure counted as mini-prophesies along the way. When they all parted, but before they reached the portrait leading to the Gryfinndor commons room Neville stopped Ginny.

“Hey, Gin?”

“Yeah?”

“What do think is going to happen now?”

“I don’t know, Nev, but it’s going to be big… and soon,”
