Author's Note: LOL. Okay, I decided that chapter nine was FAR too short to be a full chapter for part three, and so this chapter is chapter three and a half. ALSO, please google translate the conversations that are in Latin. :)
Also, this chapter is dedicated to MeTheDumbBlonde, because I just began to read her stories, and I love them already! You should seriously check out her works, they're truly amazing! :D
Anyways, I do not take ownership of Harry Potter, its' characters and it's world. I only claim my characters! :D
Chapter Three and a Half: They're Coming
Violet pulled herself from out of my grasp, as I watched in awe at the brown-headed girl walking back into the Great Hall with an evil grin on plastered onto her face. I immediately ran towards Violet, however Violet beat me to it, as she began to run towards the Gryffindor Table. Would my life at Hogwarts always be like this? I thought to myself as I chased Violet back to the Gryffindor Table. I arrived at Gryffindor Table, with Violet sitting beside Piper, grinning mischieviously at Piper. I bit down on my lip hard, as I realized what was going to happen. I began walking towards the table, a fake smile on my face.
"H-Hey guys! Um, Violet, what do you think you're doing here?" I asked Violet awakwardly. Violet gave me a quick glare as she turned her head back to Piper and smiled. She looked back at me with an obvious fake smile forced upon her face.
"Well, this is the Gryffindor table, right? And, oh! Am I not a Gryffindor? I think I am, Cruz." Violet responded stirring her coffee as she spoke. She looked up at me with a satisfied look on her face, as I arched my left eyebrow. So this is what she wants to play. I thought. I sighed loudly. I was about to respond, however Piper beat me to it.
"Oh, she doesn't mean why are you here. What I mean is why are you trying so hard to be liked by me?" Piper cut me off. My eyes widened. Does she realize what she is doing?! Violet slammed her mug of coffee down on the table loudly. She stood up and as did Piper. Violet laughed, obviously pissed at Piper.
"Oh, oh. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, Miss...excuse me but what exactly are you?" Violet put up her hand, cutting off Piper. By now, the entire school had their eyes on Violet and Piper. "I actually really don't care who you, or what you do." Violet laughed. "I am actually very amused that you think that I would actually want to be your friend." Violet glared down at Piper as she took a sip of her coffee. Piper's head jerked ever so slightly to the side.
"Wow. Okay, um Miss.Thing. But uh, you were the one that walked over to me, and started interregating me, with that stupid smile on your face. And now, you start being all sassy to my friend? Um, okay you seriously need to go to the Hospital Wing, and go and get your attitude checked." Piper started to walk away. Violet was about to remark, when Piper put up her hand to silence her. "Oh! And while you're there, you may want to get that green malarky out of your hair while you're at it. Come on Ana, Fred and George, let's get away from this mess." Piper finished looking straight into Violet's now blazing eyes. Piper took George's hand and turned back around and walked away. That was the last straw, Piper. That would be the last straw for Violet. I knew it would be. We were now outside the Great Hall. I turned to look at Violet, when I realized that Violet was running at Piper, her wand in hand, ready to cast a spell at any given moment.
"PIPER!" I exclaimed, warning my old best friend. Piper quickly turned around, confused. Her eyes widened as she stared at the scene that was taking place. I looked at Piper's face. She looked so scared and vulnerable, unlike the usual fearless and confident girl I knew. I shut my eyes competely shut as realized what I must do. I opened my eyes once more, to see Violet still running towards Piper, as Piper simply stood there, frozen in place. I shut my eyes shut once more as I concentrated on the scene that was just being taken place, as time began to slow down. I could hear the voices behind me starting to slow down and lower as time was stopping. Finally, I opened my eyes. The entire school was frozen in time, all but me. I exhaled, relieved. I took in the scene that was taking place; Piper, was standing in the exact same place she was just a moment ago, and as was everyone else in the school. I sighed.
"How am I supposed to fix this mess?" I asked myself quietly. I was in the middle of sighing once more when a voice stopped me.
"C-C-Cruz? What did you just do?" a small, yet familiar voice echoed from just behind me. At that moment, I stopped breathing. My heart stopped, as I heard a voice behind me. How was this possible? Once I stop time, no one should be able to move, or talk for that matter.
"C-Cruz, What. Did. You. Just. Do?" the voice echoed once more, this time much closer to me. I hesitantly slowly began to turn around, only to see that the voice, belonged to none other than Miss. Violet Wicklan. My words became stuck in my throat, I couldn't speak. I gulped. Why was Violet not frozen in time with the others? We stood there for several more moments before I finally got the courage to speak.
"V-V-Violet? Why are you not frozen with the others?" I questioned her as I began to walk forward to the tall girl, my shoes echoing through the silent halls of the castle.
"I was about to ask you the same thing, Cruz." Violet responded quickly as she pushed the hair out of her face. I gulped once more as I stared at the girl in front of me. I studied Violet very closely, looking for any sign of the vicis custos. I studied the girl's eyes, searching for the symbol, until finally I saw it. The symbol of vicis custos. I gasped loudly.
"Custos es tempus, Violet." I told her in the language of the vicis custos; Latin. I awaited Violet to respond, however, as I stared at her, she simply stood there, looking completely, and utterly confused.
"What the bloody hell are you-" Violet began. However, she was cut off with a blast of light that erupted from her eyes and mouth. I gasped. This was her transformation. Had she not realized her destiny? For all sixteen years of her life, her parents had not recognized the symbol of the vicis custos? I continued to watch in awe at the transformation. Violet rose in the air as the light coming from her mouth and eyes began to spread all over her body, as the symbol of the vicis custos was then written on her stomach. The light spread through the entire corridor, as Violet began to lower down to the floor. I gasped as the symbol of the vicis custos exploded from her mouth. When the transformation was complete, Violet shook her head.
"Imo ego custodem tempus, Cruz. Sed ubi est portentum vestrum temporis?" I gasped. So she did have the power. I should probably continue to speak in Latin, otherwise if someone at school is Fur temporis, the entire Wizarding World would tremble at one's hand. I nodded at Violet, and transformed my eyes. As a metamorphagus, I had the will power to keep my secret hidden from everyone. Violet nodded as she noticed the symbol in my eyes.
"Dicite headmaster! reperti vicis custodes habemus!" I replied, as I turned over to Violet. She nodded, after the transformation, the vicis custos would be equipped with all of the knowledge they need about the history of the vicis custodes. And I could tell, that she was worried about the Fures Temporum. I sighed, as I began to speak once more.
"Before I let time continue, you must go back to where you were before time had stopped. Do you?" I questioned Violet. She rolled her eyes.
"Hmm? Oh yeah! Sure. I'll do that." Violet smirked mischieviously as she began to slowly walk back to her spot, her wand in hand. I rolled my eyes as I returned to my spot, before I had stopped time. I looked over to Violet, as she nodded in response. I was about to allow time to continue, however, before I had the chance to, Violet stopped me once more.
"WAIT! Cruz! I-I can see people. Bad people, coming towards the school!" Violet excalimed, her hands clutching her forehead, as she held back tears from the searing pain. My eyes widened as I realized what was happening.
"Violet. This is extremely important, so listen" she nodded. "When you mean you can "see" these bad people, do you mean you can actually see them visually?" I asked her, my breathing soon becoming heavier and heavier.
"Y-Y-Yeah." She replied out of breath. For the second time today, I stopped breathing, and my heart stopped.
"B-B-But, I, can't, hear, them, or..." Violet continued as she fell onto the floor. "O-O-O-O-Or, see their actual faces." Violet finished as I noticed her breath becoming heavier and heavier, like what had happened to me the first time I had experienced this. However, the first time I could only feel their presence. I soon found out later on though, that this was interchangable. I would sometimes be able to see their faces, sometimes I would be able to see their faces, and I could hear their voices. I nodded at Violet, as she began to stand up once more.
"Violet. Listen to me. Today, after this, we must go to Professor Dumbledore. We must see him before, before..." I couldn't finish. It was too painful to remember. "Before the Fures Temporum come and find us." Violet finished for me, as she was now on both of her feet, standing. I nodded, fighting back my tears. I never want to re-live that moment. I quickly walked back to where I was standing before I had froze time.
"Invoco per septentrionales ventos tempus. Invoco solis et lunae. Invoco custodes terra et aqua. Ego custodem tempus! invoca custodes mundi Responde mihi tempus in quo appellare resumere!" I summoned, as the symbol of time appeared on the floor underneath my feet, as I created the symbol of time with my hands. Suddenly, a flash of light had appeared from my eyes and my mouth as time resumed as it was, before.
I looked to my left to see that Piper was still standing there, in awe as a spell hit her right in the chest. I screamed. This was taking it too far. Further than what Piper had just did. I looked down at Piper. She had boils covering her face, and looked as red as a tomato. No, not from embarrassment, but from anger. She glared at Violet with slit eyes, as she stood back up and got her wand out from her robe. I sighed in relief as Piper walked away from Violet. However, before I knew it, Piper whipped back to Violet and shot a curse at Violet that barely missed her face.
"Oh, what aim, what aim." Violet applauded her sarcastically. I smirked somewhat. Wait. Why did I just smirk?! Piper was my friend, and what was I doing? Nothing. I was about to whip my wand out before a loud voice interrupted me.
"I seriously suggest that you do not take your wand out, Miss.Cruz." The voice of Professor McGonagall echoed through the corridor. I gulped. I slowly turned around to see that Professor McGonagall's nose had transformed into an elephant trunk. Suddenly, I heard shrieks of laughter erupting from behind me. I whipped around to see that Fred and George were still standing there, and laughing their arses off at that as well. Professor McGonagall glared at the two red headed boys standing behind me.
"Detention Mr. and Mr. Weasley." Professor McGonagall said simply. I smirked.
"Now. What has happened here?" Professor McGonagall turned back directing her attention at the two girls in front of her. No one spoke as Fred and George whistled simultaneously. Professor McGonagall turned around to see me, standing there looking away casually.
"Ah! Miss. Cruz! Please tell me as to what was going on here." Professor McGonagall questioned me scarily. I gulped.
"Ah, well...Um, Professor McGonagall, there's something a little more important than that, actually." I told her scratching the back of my neck.
"Ah, do tell as to what is so much more important than this." Professor McGonagall asked, awaiting for my answer.
"Uh, er, um...Professor, I suggest you look into Violet's eyes." I lowered my voice, so then only Professor McGonagall could hear. She stared at me intently, as she shook her head of the thought, and then finally stared into Violet's eyes. I swear I saw her eyes widen as she realized what Violet was. She looked back at me, and I nodded at her.
"Well, I suppose that this matter can wait for now. However, Miss.Cruz and Miss.Wicklan, please follow me to the headmaster's office. As for Miss. Du Soliel, and Mr. and Mr. Weasley, please return to the Great Hall." Professor McGonagall instucted all of us. No one dared to retaliate, as we all silently did as to what was told of us. I all then knew one thing. Violet Wicklan was the second vicis custos.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, even though it was probably one of the worst. :\
