Chapter 10: Birthday Part 1

There's the light at the end. The welcoming light. So close. So close. But so far. So far.

Hermione looked up at the haunting castle. Snape stood next to her and he could feel her trembling. This was all new to her. Fighting for the side she fought against for so many years. She wanted to fight for the good, but something kept telling her it was wrong. It wasn't until the letters started to come, that she decided which side she wanted. It wasn't until she saw those eyes that fateful day in Diagon Alley. It wasn't until that kiss, that she knew where she wanted to be. Right here standing in front of her new home.
It was still the early hours of the morning. The twilight of the sunrise haunting the horizon. Snape knew at least one of the two would be up running around the castle. Barefoot, shorts, hoodie not shirt. It has been quiet without Andrew around. Snape brought Hermione with him upon request of Lord Dragonus. His Lord wanted to know the girl that seemed to have captured his son's heart. Andrew wanted her close to him, he didn't know why. He just wanted her with him. Of his years of teaching her he knew she would fulfill her potential and even though he didn't treat well while at Hogwarts, he knew she would be a great apprentice.
"Are you ready?" he asked her. She looked at him and slowly nodded. "It's alright Miss Granger. It's all new but I swear I won't let anyone hurt you. Neither will Andrew." He gently took her arm and started to lead her into the haunting castle.
The doors seemed to open on their own. When took a step inside and Hermione arms crossed feeling the cold air rush through her. She took another step and another. Just as she was about to go further in she was almost knocked down by some one running. They didn't even bother to look back. From the sounds she assumed they were barefoot and steady breathing.
"That would be Andrew. He runs in the castle around this time of morning." Snape assured her and they walked further.

"We came on a special occasion today."
"Why is that?" She asked still keeping her guard up and trying to fight the doubts that came rushing into her head.
"Andrew and Jonathan turn 18 today. A very big day."
Hermione nodded, and didn't say anything else. She choose to be here. She wanted to be here. She just hoped that she wouldn't regret it.
Snape showed her to her bed chambers and it was warmer than the rest of the castle. "Andrew made arrangements for you when he heard you were coming," Snape said walking in behind her.
The fire was going to warm up the room. The windows faced the hills and she could see the sun peaking through. Her four poster bed had red and gold colors for her bed spread. Just like her bed back at Hogwarts. She looked at Snape with a confused look.
"I told him you were in Gryffindor and he researched the house," Snape explained. He watched her walk around the room trying to hide a rare small smile. He never saw Andrew care about some one outside of his family before. He watched as Hermione walked over to the mahogany desk and looked at the books and smiled. Hogwarts: A History was there as well as other books about the castle and a note.
"Dearest Hermione,
I hope you find your room warm and welcoming. These books are about my family's history as well as yours. Also, your favorite book. Please do not get angry at Severus for telling me your secrets. I want you to feel welcome. For I am afraid I won't be as welcoming. You are making me feel something new and different that I was never taught. I am apologizing to you now for my behavior in the next coming months. Please do not take my coldness to heart. I have to learn what I am feeling when I am around you.
I do hope you plan to stay with us. I will also inform that tonight at the birthday feast you will see things you are not accustom to. I will protect you. I will not let any harm come to you. It may take a while for some to accept you. My brother included. Severus will also be close to you as well. I know you will trust him as he was your instructor at Hogwarts.
I do ask that what ever you have learned about defending yourself you forget. I will properly train you in the arts of the dark. There are spells and defenses I'm sure you have not learned. I will train you to become a fighter, a warrior. That is if you decide to stay. You are welcome to leave at any time.
Again I do hope you will accept these books as a welcome gift. I will see you soon. Also again please do not take my coldness to heart.
Yours,
Andrew"

"What does he mean by 'coldness'?" She asked. But her question would go unanswered. She looked at the door and it was closed. Snape must have left quietly while she was reading the letter. She put her bag on the the bed and turned back to the desk. She looked at the books and touched the spines. The leather sent chills down her spine. Happens every time she touches a book she's never read.
She couldn't wait to do her research. She explored her room a little more and was happy to discover she had her own bathroom. A nice hot shower would do her some good after traveling such a long way.
After Andrew left L.A.. without so much as a goodbye, Snape had a conversation with Angel. Snape suggested they wait for a while before they would leave to find Andrew. He wanted to wait to get a word from either Andrew or from Lord Dragonus. Once they got word Andrew was back, they said their goodbyes and left.
Now here she was in a strange castle with Andrew and Snape being the only ones she trusts. She gathered her stuff for her to have a nice shower. She needed answers to her questions that went unasked. Hopefully after her shower she could find Snape and maybe he could answer the the feast tonight.
***********************************************************
Andrew let the water drip down as he looked at himself in the mirror. The deep scars from his fight with Damien. The bite mark on his shoulder still haunts him. When he recovered he noticed his abilities seemed to be more powerful. He also gained new ones. His hearing, and his sight became more enhanced. His body went through changes as well. He noticed he was stronger. He already had strength but not like this. His abs, his pecs, his arms, his shoulders, had more definition in his body than before.
He ran a hand through his short black wet hair and closed his eyes. His eyes even changed color since that night. Instead of sea green eyes meeting back at him, it was crimson red. He needed Snape to take his blood and figure out if there's anyway to get his eyes back to what they used to be.
He left his bathroom and walked into his room. Towel wrapped around his waist and the cold air hit his skin. His skin reacted but not him. He liked his room cold. Helps him keep focus. He walked passed his made up bed with just a pillow missing. Right next to his bed was a pillow and a thin blanket. Where he slept; the only way he sleeps.
He opened his closet just as there was a knock on his door, "Come in," he voice was steady.
Snape walked in and gave a small bow, "She's getting settled Master."
Andrew nodded and turned around. Snape saw the scars and tried not show his wince. "When will she be ready?"
"Master, may I suggest she explore herself first?"
Andrew took of his towel and started get dressed. Snape turned his gaze down to the ground to give the young man some what privacy. Andrew didn't say anything as he was getting dressed in his recreational clothes. Pair of jeans and a skin tight black shirt. Never socks and shoes in the castle.
He walked over to his dresser and put on his silver ring from Willow and the bracelet from Angel on his right middle finger and left wrist.
"You're right, let her explore," he said then turned around and pointed at Snape, "But inform EVERYONE she is not to be harmed!"
"Yes Master, is there anything else?"
"Get some rest Severus," Andrew said coming up to his Professor and put a hand gently on his shoulder, "You look like you could use some sleep."
Snape tried not to smile, "Yes Master, thank you." Andrew nodded and Snape left. Not too long after Snape left, Andrew followed. Now time to find his father and brother.
*********************************************************************************
"Father you can't be serious!" Jonathan almost yelled. He and Rob were in Rob's study going over battle plans.
"He's been gone for almost two years! He missed our 17th birthday! You want him to lead a raid, after I led countless others!"
"Jonathan," Rob said sternly and he looked at his adopted son, who sat back in his chair. "I need to know that Andrew is himself. Today I heard the servants say that he went on his usual run this morning. Jonathan, since he's back we finally get that blood connection figured out. Now that Severus has some one to help him."
Jonathan perked up at this, "Who?"
Just then a knock came to the door, "Enter," Rob said and in walked Andrew. Rob held his smile seeing his other son again brought him joy. Andrew walked in and stood at attention, "Please Andrew sit."
"Thank you sir," Andrew took a seat next to Jonathan who didn't bother too look at him.
"Is she settling in?" Rob asked.
"Yes sir, Severus suggested she go explore by herself. Also she is not to be harmed in ANY way. I made sure he knew that too. To tell the servants and to tell Voldemort's followers"
"Good, hear that Jonathan?" Rob said giving his oldest son a look.

"Who is here?" he asked.
"Hermione Granger." Rob told him in a steady tone.
Jonathan shot up in anger, "WHY IS POTTER'S MUDBLOOD HERE?!" Without thinking Andrew shot up and punched Jonathan in the jaw knocking him to the floor.
Before Jonathan could get up Andrew was over and about to punch his brother again but Rob stepped in and grabbed Andrew's arm, "Calm yourselves!" he shouted. Andrew backed off and he helped Jonathan to his feet.
"Both of you sit! Tonight is a very important night! I will not have my sons ruin it!" His voice rose over their protest.
"We will NOT leave this study until the both of you work out the last two years!"
**************************************************************************
Hermione walked out of her room. She was sad to leave the warmth but she wanted to know where she was. The cold air was still much, but if some one could run around this place barefoot then she could get used to it.
She walked down the dark hallway, barley lit by the torches that were lightly burning. Nothing but stone on the walls. Wooden doors for rooms she assumed. She saw a brighter light coming from one of the rooms and decided to walk in that direction.
As she got closer she could feel a sense of calm. She put her hands on the door and felt warmth coming from it. She raised her fist to knock but hesitated she didn't know what she was walking into. She took in a breath and then let it out slowly. Before she could move to make the knock the door opened.
In front of her stood Lucius Malfoy and right behind him in a desk stood Lord Voldemort. No one said a word. It was as if time stood still. Time was frozen in that moment. No one moved, no one spoke.
Hermione stood there in shock, the people she used to fight against were standing before her. She didn't know what to do. Her body wasn't moving, her voice lost, seems that her breathing seemed to be stalled.
It wasn't until some came up behind and put a hand on her shoulder, "Malfoy, Tom, is there a problem here?" The voice said.
"No problem my Lord, I was just leaving," Malfoy said with a bow and walked out of the room.
"Miss Granger, may I introduce Rob Dragonus," Voldemort said, gesturing to the man standing next to her.
She looked looked up at the man next to her. The grey and silver beard matching the pulled back long hair. Grey eyes smiling down on her, his face has slight wrinkles and she knew they each had a story.
"Come in Miss Granger, we have lots to talk about," Rob said letting her go into the room first. He followed but he left the door open just in case she felt uncomfortable. She took a seat and Rob took the one right next to her.
"Now my son Andrew has a particular interest in you. I want him to be safe. Now tell me about yourself Miss Granger," Rob sat back and waited for her to start talking.
***************************************************************************************************
Andrew made his way to the dungeon with Jonathan following him. After spending what seemed like hours in the study with their father, they both finally let out all the fears they were hiding.
They worked out their problems and now Andrew was about to give Jonathan his birthday present. He knew he would love this one. He knew his brother was waiting to have this one person in their dungeon.
"I am truly glad you are back brother," Jonathan said as they continued to walk down the long walk way with cells on each side.
"I am glad to be back," he turned back and smiled at his brother. The groans and moans were light today. It seems Jonathan didn't come down today to use his ring on anyone one. "What do you have for me brother?" He asked following the younger one further into the dungeon.
They finally stopped in front of one of cells, "I wasn't going to come empty handed now was I?" Andrew said with a smirk. Jonathan looked at his brother in confusion and Andrew nodded towards the cell. Jonathan took a step closer and saw a hint of an orange red glimmer coming through.
Another step closer and he came up to the bars and a smile came to his face. In the corner of a cell there was a figure with their knees up to their chest with their arms wrapped around themselves.
"Hello, Weasley. Boy am I going to have fun with you."
The figure looked up and screamed in fear of the two standing in front of him. "It's not the one we want, but it's a start," Andrew explained coming up to the bars.
"Which one is this one?"
"Charlie, I found him on my way back here. He was on his way back from gathering wood to a camp. I gave father the details yesterday. They were heading north, I'm sure if we leave now we can cut them off."
They turned away from the cell and started to walk back the way they came when one of their father's guards was walking up to them with a prisoner.
"Who do you have Flint?" Andrew asked.
"You're about to have a collection soon," Flint said as he removed the hood to reveal another Weasley. The eyes of this prisoner went wide and tried to attack. Andrew wasted no time and punched the prisoner, "Put this one with the other one. Stand guard, what ever you do, do NOT fall for anyone of the their tricks."
"Yes Master," Flint said and forced Weasley to walk.
"Tonight's birthday with be the best," Jonathan said with a big smile.
"It will brother it will be," Andrew agreed put his hand on his brother's shoulder. It was good to be home.

Closer to the light. So close. Release is almost here. Just one more day and freedom will taste so sweet. Returning to the world. Release, return, freedom. One. More. Day.
