Chapter 11
When Remus
came to pick her up at lunchtime she was sitting on the edge of her bed staring
into the empty space in front of her. Kneeling in front of her he looked into
her eyes. “Hey little one... I don’t like to see you so sad you know. You much
prettier when you smile...” he whispered trying to make her smile. Her beautiful
blue eyes looked empty and she didn’t even seem to notice him. Her dark red
hair lay in long curls around her slumped shoulders. She was wearing a normal
pair of jeans and a white t-shirt. She looked so small....so vulnerable. He
couldn’t stand to see her like this. Leaning forward he embraced her with his
strong arms, pulling her onto his lap on the floor. He started rocking back and
forth stroking her hair. “Marie... girl.. you a not a thread. You are special.
Just like I am or like Albus. We are going to manage these powers of yours I
promise..”
She felt
strange. A warm feeling had settled in the pit of her stomach and she felt so
safe. Silent tears streamed down her face as he rocked them. After a while he
leaned backwards to look into her eyes. The sparkle her eyes had held before
had returned and he smiled at her.
“Come now
Mia! Ready for lesson one?” he chuckled lifting her up and setting her on her
feet. “Yes! And I like you calling me Mia...” she laughed.
“So let’s
see... I think we should approach your powers one at a time. Name one power you
know you have and we will work on that one.” The werewolf said smiling. Her
mood had lightened very much since he had found her this morning. She was so
easy to please. So easily manipulated. He had to find a way to make her respect
herself but that just needed time.
“Well I can
make things fly” she said timidly. “Good...good.. Ok today’s lesson will be
about levitation!” They sat down on her rug in front of the fireplace. “I want
you to lie down Mia. Good. Now close your eyes and think of something that
would relax you...” Marie lay on the floor her eyes closed Hmm.. think of something relaxing... at that moment her stomach growled loudly for
she had not eaten anything since dinner the day before. THAT’S IT!! Food... a whole lot of food.. that would be relaxing.
Suddenly there was a strange noise.
“No...
Shite!! Ma...Marie?!” Remus jumped to his feet. She had vanished. Right before
his eyes!! This was not good.. He fucked up big time.
Meanwhile
Marie still lay on the floor. Only this was not her floor! She jumped to her
feet to see that she was in some kind of gigantic kitchen. But what was even
more unsettling were the hundreds of little green eyes staring at her. She
screamed and ran for the door only she didn’t find one. So she just hid behind
a large cauldron.
One of the
little creatures (whom the little green eyes belonged to) came to stand in
front of her. Marie scrambled into the wall as far as she could. “This is not
happening ...not true ... you..you don’t exist...”
“Can Smudgy
help the miss? Something wrong with the food?” the creature asked wringing its
little hands. “What?... you can talk?...” Marie was surprised and her curiosity
got the better of her. “What..Who... are you?” she stammered still not moving
though.
“I is a
house elf miss..” Smudgy replied lifting one of his small eyebrows. “How can me
help you?” “Ehm... yes.. it would be good to know where I am...” she looked at
the elf with big eyes. This magical world really was strange.
Remus had
lost no time flooing to the headmaster’s office. “She.. she is gone Albus! I
have NO idea how this happened!! She just vanished!!” The headmaster only
chuckled. Looking at a map in front of him he said “She is in the kitchen
Remus.” The werewolf sighed in relief “I
am going to get her...”
“No Remus
she needs to make her own experiences.. I’ll keep an eye on her and you can
continue your lessons tomorrow” Albus chuckled. Remus nodded and although he
would have liked it better to go after her he accepted Albus’ decision. He
reluctantly groped a hand full of floopowder and was gone with a flash of green
fire.
The potions
master was meanwhile sitting in his office he had no lessons this afternoon and
tried to concentrate on grading first year essays. It wasn’t working however.
Sighing deeply he put down his quill rubbing his face with his hands. Why is it that this bothers me so much? She
is just an ordinary girl for Merlin’s sake!! He slammed his hands down on
the table. Oh well maybe some chocolate
cake would help. Sighing again he pushed out of his chair and made his way to
the kitchens. The house elves didn’t dare enter his quarters.
Back in the
kitchen Marie sat at a small table surrounded by all these little creatures.
Some of them were staring at her some were busy stirring the big cauldrons. The
steady plopping sound of elves appearing and disappearing could be heard in the
background. “So… does Miss like the cake?” Smudgy asked his big green eyes
observing her with curiosity. “Yes it is sooo good!!
I never had anything like that before..” she smiled
her mouth still full of cake.
Severus
entered the kitchen and immediately saw her. So she is not with Lupin? What’s this about…Maybe
I can make this right sooner than I thought… His graceful steps came to a halt behind
her. “So you also enjoy Chocolate cake I see..” He
said in a low voice. Marie stopped dead in her tracks. She hadn’t thought of
him since Remus had been with her. “Yes Sir…” she said in a small voice not
turning to look at him. Severus strode around the table taking the seat
opposite of hers. “May I join you Marie?” She only nodded still avoiding his
gaze.
When
Severus was seated he made another attempt at conversation. The girl really was
scared of him… “So, how come you are not with Lupin
Marie?”
Oh noo… I totally
forgot about him… He is going to be so angry at me!! Maybe he sent Severus to
come and get me…she
thought panicking now.
“S…sir I am
so sorry I … I really don’t know how this happened!! I ..I
was lying on the floor and… then suddenly I was here ..
and they… they were all so nice down here and I was
hungry… I will leave at once.. I am really sorry…” He
stammered. Her eyes were filled with tears now and she was wringing her hands
in her lap. “Silly girl..” he chuckled “I am not angry
with you. I was simply asking. So your first lesson didn’t work out the way it
should have been? What were you practising?”
“I… think
Remus called it something like.. Levi…” she was still very nervous. She hadn’t
had the time to talk to him like this since she arrived. “Oh I think you mean Levitation. Making things
fly and move them with sheer willpower. I take it then that it didn’t work?” He
asked smugly. He loved to see Remus fail. Marie timidly shook her head. It must be me… Can’t blame Remus…I cannot be
controlled… she thought again sadly. “Well let’s see” the potions master
interrupted her thoughts with his deep, rich voice. “Would you mind bringing me
a piece of cake from that table over there?” he pointed at a table half across
the large room. Marie made to stand up but he halted her with a gesture of his
hand. “No Marie… not like that. Levitate it over to me.”
“But… I
told you that I cannot..” she tried to answer but he
interrupted her again. “The concentrate for Merlin’s sake… If you don’t TRY you
cannot succeed. Now look at the cake. Pick out a piece you want to levitate
over to me and concentrate. You KNOW you have the power to do it you only have to
use it..” he instructed her. His deep voice rushing
over her like a sheet of silk. She did as she was told and looked at the piece
trying to concentrate. “Now imagine you were taking it in your ands and lift it
up. Use your mind..” the cake started to float
slightly. Marie's eyes were narrowed with concentration and effort. When the cake
started to float she was so surprised that she looked at Severus for a second
and the cake just fell back down onto its plate. “Good.. indeed..
well now do it again and levitate it over to me.”
Again Marie
concentrated and the cake moved smoothly into the air. Trying to bring it over
to their table she put a little too much effort into it and the chocolate cake came flying towards them with a lightening speed. It only
came to a halt when it hit the potions master’s chest with a thud.
Her eyes
were wide with horror as his eyes swept over the mess she had made out of his
school robes. He was about to say something but a little plop on the table
prevented him from doing so. “Has no one told you not to play with food?”
Smudgy asked agitatedly. He clapped his hands and the mess was gone. Instead
there stood a perfect piece of Severus favourite chocolate cake in font of him.
Another plop and Smudgy was gone again.
Looking up
at him he saw the panic in her eyes. With clenched teeth he decided against
punishing her and said. “We will have to practise that a little more I would
say!” before tucking in his cake. Marie only looked at him with wide eyes.
