Trampled
illusion
“Jonathan!
Hey, wait up!”
The young
boy turned at the mention of his name, wondering who it could be.
When he turned, he saw the student that called at him. He was an
elder, maybe in 4th or 5th year.
The older
student had to catch his breath before talking.
“Do
you always have to be in such a hurry? Jonathan’s your name
right?”
“Yes!
Who are you?” Being a first year and uncommonly shy, it always
made him nervous whenever someone older addressed him.
“Relax!
I’m want to talk about that new Asian girl, you know, Kyo.”
“Oh,
I see. Sure.” He felt a bit better but did not know what to
say, feeling foolish. At least the teenage was also Slytherin.
“So,
where were you heading? Do you have a class soon? If not, I would
like to talk to you now.”
“It’s
okay! I was just going to the library, to get some information on the
Transfiguration theoretical side.”
“Ah!
You’re already showing the signs of a perfect OWL to be.”
The student smile warmly and put an arm around Jonathan’s
shoulders.
“I
won’t take too much of your time and I think that you’ll
be delight with what I have to tell you.”
They went
to sit outside, a bit apart from the others. There was a tree with
no one nearby; they sat in the grass with their backs well resting on
the trunk.
“Gorgeous
isn’t it?”
“What?”
“The
weather John. You don’t mind if I use this nickname with you
right?”
“No,
no it’s okay.” actually, he hated it already. “It’s
a bit cold. Winter is coming”
The other
went on with useless chit-chat, trying to make the boy at ease.
“How
do you like it so far?”
“The
school is great. Teachers are awesome, well, except for some, but
that was to be expected.”
“Let
me guess. You’re referring to a certain Potion Master am I
correct?”
Jonathan
didn’t answer verbally, but his manners clearly expressed his
feelings.
“He’s
okay. The problem with him is because of his high expectations for
his students, which is a good thing. Many teachers are too soft if
you ask me. Being a Slytherin is always linked with pride and
success, so there’s no surprise there. I heard that you’re
doing great in all your classes.”
“Yes
and all thanks to Kyo. She helps me a lot and we study together.”
As he spoke, two pink appeared on his pale cheeks.
“Ah
yes, Kyo. That brings me to what I wanted to tell you. Her
roommates decided to organize a small party for her. I understand
that they got into a small misunderstanding and the issue has trailed
off long enough. They wish to apologize and take that chance to get
to know a bit more about her. They think that she shouldn’t
keep to herself like that you know what I mean. So here’s the
plan. I have a note in my pocket. It gives out the place and the
time of the party, but it’s tricky. She will have to figure it
out and then, she can join them. Do you think that she will enjoy
this?”
“That
sounds like a good idea. Where is it going to occur?”
“I
don’t know. It’s one of the girl who gave that to me and
explained her idea. She asked me to bring this to you and Voilà!”
“Hum,
alright no problem. I have a class with her this afternoon, so it
should be easy to slip it into her pocket or something” he took
the paper, wondering why the girl didn’t give it directly to
Kyo.
“Good!
I’ll talk to you later then. Keep up the good work John.”
On this, the student stood up and left.
For some
reason, Jonathan felt uneasy about this situation. He was
overprotective towards people he cares about no matter his slim
features. His brothers always reminded him that he should learn to
relax and keep to his own problems. For three Griffyndor, they did
sound more like Slytherins. He stood up, gathering his bag, pondering
over this odd issue.
He knew
that Kyo and her roommates weren’t very fond of each other.
This party could end up resolving this unnecessary feud between them.
He was relieved to see that they would make the first time. After
three months, he found that he understood parts of Kyo’s
personality. She was a loner and could not care less to be left
aside. But he thought that she could need friends, especially
amongst this House.
Determined,
he made his way to the library. He would definitely give her the
notes today.
*************
The group
of students was packing their books, ready to leave the class. Most
of them were half asleep after this boredom History class. Kyo, on
the other hand, had truly enjoyed it. It did help that she knew
almost there was to know on the subject.
Today was
perfect so far. The sunny sky helped put a balm on her heart even if
it was getting cold. Winter was knocking at the door.
Another
matter that kept her in a good mood was the fact that her roommates
had finally decided to ignore her. But the most enjoyable issue was
that her plan of the school was finally completed earlier. After
three months of scurrying her way in every corridor, rooms, even the
restricted one, she had it all on her map.
All that
was left was to uncover the secret passageways or hideouts for it
were obvious that this castle hold many. That’s shouldn’t
be a problem. It would have to wait though; she was getting more and
more tired as the time passed. She would have to speak to her brother
about this, to see if he was feeling the same. She had cut the bond
between them, and on time, she regretted it
“Hello
Kyo, how are you?”
“Oh,
Mr. Lent, I am fine thank you very much”
“You
know Kyo, you could call me by my first name, and it really sounds
strange to me otherwise.”
“Oops,
I am sorry Mr. L…I mean, Jonathan.”
He sighed
deeply, but it wasn’t out of anger. He was used to her by now.
She must have had a very formal education he thought.
“It’s
okay, don’t mind about this. I have something for you, but
it’s a surprise so I cannot give you more details. I just hope
that you’ll enjoy yourself”
He gave
her the note, watching her expectedly. Will she read it in front of
him?
“Okay,
thank you. I’ll give it a look later on this evening”
“Hum,
actually, I think it has to do with an event that will occur this
evening. It would be better if you read it sooner.”
“I
see.” Her tone was as flat as a frozen lake in winter. “I
do have some free time at the moment. I’ll go and read it at
the library.”
She
didn’t seem excited about this, but then again, it was her
usual behavior. She rarely seemed overly happy about anything.
“I
will be going then.” He said, hoping for her openness but she
remained silent.
“Well,
have fun tonight and take care. Oh, and, I…I want to thank
you for your help yesterday and all the days before, it really
helps.” said Jonathan, feeling his cheek burning.
“Don’t
mention it. See you later” she replied in a neutral voice
before exiting the classroom. Kyo was oblivious to his embarrassment.
Human love wasn’t a subject she explored, thinking that this
bit of information would be useless. The only thing that matters
were hints on how to destroy her enemies.
*************
Once
again, the library was far from being crowded. She sat alone at a
table far off in the corner; put her books on the table and took out
the paper that was slipped in one of them.
She
unfolded it slowly. Her expression was blank at first, but the more
she read and the more her neutral feature turned to a pronounced
frowns.
They
try reach out to the Heaven,
Trapped
in the bowls of Hell,
At the
Entrance you shall wait,
For it
is against the law to walk ahead
There was
no name and no detail of why she should take part of this nonsense.
It was a simple riddle, but it succeeded in holding her curiosity.
Her day had been very good so far, so it couldn’t hurt to find
out more about this mystery.
Again,
ignoring the wise advices from her numerous readings on the human
behavior, she stood up made her way to the dungeons.
The
dormitory was empty when she arrived. She left her books on her bed
table, put a warm cloak over her shoulders and left.
She
skipped dinner, not feeling that hungry. It was about five in the
afternoon, early enough to be strolling on Hogwarts ground. However,
the sun was slowly fainting away, bowing at the darkness of night. At
least, she couldn’t get into trouble if someone catches her at
this time. The riddle had been easy to figure out, but its purpose
was slightly bothering her. She had to find out. Her strides were
quick as she made her way to the Forbidden Forest.
*************
“Anyone
here?”
No reply.
She had been standing close to the forest, pacing the ground from
time to time, not knowing where she should stand; yet, no one had
shown up. How stupid this is. She was annoyed. She turned
her back to stare into the darkness of the forest. The only movement
was that of the naked branches brutally bent by the wind. Clearly,
winter was more than knocking at the door. It really is getting
cold. I should go back. As she turned, she felt something
tinkling at the back of her neck, but being in her state, young and
trapped in this human flesh, she ignored the warning. The only thing
that she felt was annoyance, but mostly from the cold wind. Her
perception of nature had change since the beginning of the year. Her
mind and body kept complaining; it was either too cold or too hot, to
humid or dry.
She
stepped towards the castle. She hadn’t walked two steps when
she heard a voice. The words didn’t strike in her head until
too late. Her body was sent flying in the air and fell heavily on
the ground. Stunned from the hard contact, she stayed there unmoving
until she regained the sense of urgency and fumble under her cloaks
to reach at her wand.
“Who’s
there?” she asked, unable to control her quavering voice,
filled with fright and frustration. She was too dazed to think about
reaching for her inner self.
“Oh,
scared already?” said a young girl voice which Kyo recognized
all too good and it only made the whole matter worse.
“The
frightful Kyo isn’t as strong as she wants us to believe”
bellowed another.
“Get
up brat” This voice was masculine and much older.
She
helped herself up, peering intently towards the trees. The same
snotty voice spoke again.
“Why
don’t you come closer or do you intend to sleep on the ground
tonight? All you have to do is step in the Forest, unless you don’t
have the guts to do it.”
“It
is not allowed for first year to enter the Forbidden Forest.”
No matter the desperate state of her situation, she had to remain
logic to the core.
“You
would do well to respect this rule Ms Langley.” Kyo replied,
somewhat feeling more in control. She had no more doubts about her
assailers and the only challenge would prove to be the boy, whoever
he was.
“Oh!
So you finally recognized me.” It was followed by silly
giggles.
“You
will regret insulting us the other day. Nobody will come here to
help you out. Your only friend is chatting, unaware of
your distress, thinking you to be enjoying yourself among us. No one
cares about you, not even your brother. How do you feel knowing that?
.”
“What
is the meaning of this? You know that you could get expelled. You
are in no better position than I. If Professor Snape hears about
this, you won’t have time to open your mouth before he kicks
you out himself.” Kyo had no choice but to try to put sense in
the silly girls.
“No
worries. We know exactly what to do. Petreficus Totalus.” the
boy’s spoke directing his wand at the helpless girl on the
ground.
To
everyone’s surprise even to Kyo, her body stood up with ease,
completing an impressive back flip, effectively dodging and landing
on her feet, wand at the ready. She had been able to regain her
strength and was more than happy to hear the protests and gaps of
amazement coming from the hidden group.
“I
do not want to hurt you girls, why don’t we call this a draw?”
she said, ready to fight nonetheless.
“Let
me handle this Rosia, she’ll remember how to treat her comrades
when I’m done with her”
He walked
out of the woods, threatening her with his wand. He had an advantage
over her which she did not think of although she knew. He could cast
out without wording the spell. She could do the same, but again, it
was as if her capacity to think straight had abandoned her. It proved
to be a problem when the next spell hit her and she found herself
petrified falling rigidly on the cold ground.
“Well,
well! Aren’t we a pretty sight now?”
Of
course, the girl couldn’t utter any replies or curse for that
matter. She was screaming inside, cursing everyone and everything
she could think about.
“What
should I start with? He bent over her immobile body, a dangerous
glare in his eyes. First, he relieved her of her cloak and slipped
his hand under her shirt to pull it over her head. His hands slowly
went over her robes, undoing the buttons, one by one, brushing his
delicate fingers in the process and allowing biting wind fall on her
skin as more was revealed
“It
is such a cold night I know. But don’t worry, I am sure that a
magnanimous creature will come and heat you up a bit, if it doesn’t
eat you up instead.” His laugh froze her blood, amplifying her
fear and discomfort.
If Kyo
was afraid, she could at least have the relief that she wasn’t
the only one. With her eyes open, she saw the three girls, who had
regrouped around her, staring at him obviously shaken and happy that
they weren’t the one on the ground.
Kyo found
herself with her blouse wide open, partially revealing her frail
body, her skin being the proof of her freezing state with the
multiple goose bumps. Her small nipples were also pointing out, hard
as pebbles.
The
teenager bent down to her ears and whispered just for her.
“Consider
yourself lucky that my sister is standing next to me right now. Else,
I wouldn’t mind enjoying myself even with a rag like you.”
“Alright
girls, let’s leave it at that. It’s getting late and you
don’t want to be caught now do you? Merlin, it’s really
chilly down here.” he added putting his cloak closer to
himself.
The trio
left, their laughs ringing in the ears of the raging girl lying on
the ground.
“I’ll
be damned, I almost forgot. Sorry girls, I’ll be right back,
you go on ahead without me.”
“Okay!”
His sister’s voice wasn’t steady anymore; her childish
heart squeezed with remorse and fear. They had their revenge, but now
that the feeling had passed, they had the beginning of concerns for
their roommate. What if she died out there, with that weather? But
neither of them dared to voice out their feelings. The boy seemed to
read their mind nonetheless.
“Don’t
worry, everything will be fine. I took care of all the details. I
just forgot to give her the forgetful potion.” He left them at
that, hurrying back to the still form.
“Feeling
comfy?”
I’ll
make you pay for that as soon as I’m off this curse you piece
of trash.
“Here,
drink this.” He could have lower himself next to her, but
decided to add to the humiliation by kneeling down between her legs,
lifting her skirt enough to show half of her thighs.
Forget
about soft revenge, this one is dead meat. The cold was spreading
easier with her legs showing so much. At least, her anger brought a
wave of warmth throughout her body, but it didn’t last for
long. The potion went down her throat.
He was
looking at her, actually staring with a hungry look in his eyes. He
was old enough to be filled with a raging desire for lust. Knowing
that the potion would take effect only in an hour, he leaned closer
to her.
With one
hand, he went down along her throat, sensing the softness of her skin
with his fingers. His other hand was slowly lurking underneath her
skirt, grabbing her thigh firmly but sporadically.
Somewhere
in her mind, Kyo knew that something was wrong. Anger was quickly
replaced by fear; one so overwhelming that she would have cried if it
wasn’t for the fact that she was petrified.
The boy’s
breathing was raspy, and the more he touched her, the more it got
faster and faster. He wasn’t talking anymore, focused on the
feelings he was gathering from the touch. He bent towards her lips,
hesitating for a moment before changing his course of action and
kissing her left lobe.
Kyo’s
stomach was twitching, threatening to let her dinner out any moment.
She had totally lost control of her emotions, she was scared. What
is happening, why do I feel the urge to protect myself, to protect
something? She seemed to remember a specific event of her past,
but her fear flushed the memory instantly. Damn it. She was
back being a helpless child. She could have wept.
“That’s
a good girl.” He whispered, still with this disgusting raspy
voice.
He closed
the gap between their bodies, pressing intently on her inner part.
His growl surprised Kyo. That sound couldn’t mean anything
good. A beast would do that, not a human. Suddenly, a drop fell on
her chin and she realized that the boy was actually sweating and
slightly trembling. He took one lobe fully in his mouth, playing with
his tongue, licking and sucking frantically. If only she could see
his eyes, if only she could get out of this curse, if only she hadn’t
been so curious. As those thoughts passed through her mind she
suddenly remembered the book and it’s advice ‘thinking
before acting’. Now she knew that human being had a tendency
to act without thinking and she was facing the consequences.
Without
any warning, the boy went still. His breathing was slowing down bit
by bit. He painfully gathered himself up, and looked like he had
problem focusing. His eyes searched those of the girl, but why, she
couldn’t tell. They were filled with an emotion Kyo couldn’t
understand. Without any explanation, he threw his cloak on his
shoulders still fixing her gaze.
“I’m
done with you. You’re still a bit too young for me after all.
Have a good little nap.”
He left a
dumb fumbled girl behind as he made his way back to the castle.
****
“Have
you seen Kyo tonight?” the boy asked, concerned filling his
voice.
“No,
she didn’t show up for Dinner and she isn’t in the Common
Room”
“Okay
thank you”
Jonathan
was worried sick. It was already nine o’clock and she wasn’t
to be found. He had no idea where the party was taking place, but he
knew that if she was to be caught after curfew, it wouldn’t be
pretty. A girl passed by him and he stopped her, asking if she could
verify Kyo’s dormitory and she if she was around.
Instead
of the girl he had sent to the dormitory, it was Rosia who came back
to him.
“Of
course she’s here. Where do you want her to be? You know what
time it is already?”
“What?
Oh, so she’s back then. Good. She wasn’t in the Great
Hall or in the library, so I was wondering. Did she enjoy the party
then? Are you guys in good terms?”
“Couldn’t
be better? We sorted things out.”
“Great.
Sorry about that.”
Anxiety
was still gripping him, but he pushed the feeling aside and went for
his own dorm.
*************
Her mind
was in a daze when her eyes opened. Where am I? I can’t
feel my body. Panic flared up quickly and brought her back to
reality. Wind, trees, ground… I have my back on the
ground. My body…it’s cold, I’m freezing.
She tried
to sit up, but could only manage to slowly unfold her fingers.
Instinctively, she tried to sit up again, but the pain caused by the
cold stopped her movement.
Her
muscles weren’t responding like they should. She could barely
breathe. Why am I here? I need to get up and fast. She knew
she would regret cutting the bond, but never so soon. Calling her
brother would have been helpful, but it could also cause him
troubles. It must be late, the sky was pitch black except for the
stars breaking through.
She
closed her eyes and tried to concentrate on each limb. They awoke,
one by one, allowing her to move slowly. By doing so, she also
became more aware of their freezing state. Her lips were barely able
to move. Fortunately, her mind was clear; she knew what to do.
Taking a deep breath, she brought forth her inner self. Picturing the
magnificent natural hot pool she had seen in Japan, she recreated it
in her mind and let the flow circulate freely within each of her
frozen limbs. The warm came back little by little, not without a
strong feeling of pain has it brought her full body back to
awareness.
It didn’t
take long until she was able to move up, head still spinning. She
looked down, at her hands and caught glimpse of her skin. With yelp,
she acknowledged her half nakedness.
She
gathered herself as fast as her dizziness allowed it. Her trembling
hands snapped the cloak around her whole body. She grabbed her wand
from the ground and murmured a spell; the buttons of her blouse were
redoing themselves up underneath the cloak. The heat was still
flowing from head to toes, bringing back her strength, but
unfortunately, not her memory. How did she end up here and so late at
night? The last thing she remembered was the History class. What
happened in between was lost. She felt totally lost.
Her legs
were ready for her weight but not for a walk, so she stumbled but
managed to stay on her feet. She had no idea of the time, but the
position of the moon told her that it was way past her curfew. She
would have to manage reaching her dormitory without being seen. A
concealing spell could be a good idea. She walked her way to the
castle as if drunk.
Once
inside, she took her wand out, eager to cast the concealing spell,
but heard a noise at the same time. Her tired eyes searched
frantically for a hiding spot but there was none. In her panic and
dizziness, she didn’t register the stairs that were close by
and her foot missed a step.
She was
falling forward and saw the stoned steps dangerously closing the gap
to her face. The survival mode switched on as she flew her arms in
front of her, grabbed the border of one step, and flip forward,
repeatedly, her movements swift has an acrobat and landed softly at
the bottom. She turned quickly and for once, pushed back her mass of
hairs that had got in her way just to be facing her worse nightmare.
Someone had seen her. Her problems were just starting.
“Miss
Shirei, in my office, immediately”
“Yes
Professor McGonagall”
*************
“Explain
yourself”
“There
isn’t much to explain, I fell of the stairs end and managed to
avoid crushing my bones on each of them.” Kyo started bravely,
keeping her guard in front of the woman, although her whole body felt
ready to crumble.
“You
know that this isn’t the point. What were you doing up so
late?”
As much
as she wanted to give an excuse or some sort of explanation, Kyo
found herself at lost.
“Miss
Shirei. I know it isn’t my place to give you detention, but
since I am the one who caught you, I need you to be clear.”
Regaining
her composure, McGonagall finally realized the poor state of the
student quivering strongly.
“Good
Grief, what happened to you?”
“Nothing,
I probably just fell on the ground and knocked myself out in the
process.” but as she spoke those words, a rush of sadness
grasped her heart and she started to sob frantically.
Minerva
stood up and took the girl in her arms in a comforting gesture.
“Why
are you garments all torn, where did you go?” her voice wasn’t
hard though. She had to know what the girl had been going through.
Most of all, she wanted to know who was the culprit.
“I…”she
trailed off. “I have no idea, I have no idea” Kyo let out
this time crying soundly, shaking like a leaf.
“I
can tell that you are on shock. But if you could give me any details
of what occurred tonight, it will help both of us.”
I will
have to talk with Professor Snape about this, Minerva realized,
knowing how the man would probably react.
Interrupting
her thoughts, the girl replied in an already calmed voice, though
parceled with small sobs.
“I
know Professor, I wish I could say anything, but I really don’t
remember.” Kyo was gathering herself up.
“Come
now, we will bring you to the infirmary for the night and I will have
clean clothes and hot coco brought for you.” Her voice and
smile were reassuring and Kyo understood that this woman was not as
dangerous as she first thought.
“Thank
you Professor” was all she could utter in her state.
Minerva
was enervate. Why is it that the girl chose to keep quiet? Could it
be that she was protecting someone or that she really didn’t
know anything?
*************
The
infirmary was empty when they both arrived. Mme Pomfrey didn’t
take long to show up, urging the girl to one of the bed. They took
care of her and as soon as the coco went down her throat, she fell
into a deep sleep.
