Ally's POV. ~*~*~Edited~*~*~
Chris and I were sitting in a small cafe when I felt my Bronze Raven neckless get warm, I knew that it meant it was time to go. "Chris, come on. We're leaving." I told him as I got up from our table. "What, why?" He asked me as he stood and grabbed the last bit of his muffin, we then walked out of the cafe and onto the small street it was located on and then we began walking towards the forest. "Something's wrong." I said simply, Chris gave me a sideways glance. "How do you know?" He asked confused. "I just do, and I think it has something to do with Mary's sister, I think she may be in trouble." I said as we walked into the shade that the trees provided us.
I had told Chris all about Mary, and the mission she gave me. I had told Chris pretty much everything that happened, save for me being an Animagus. It was illegal after all. "Take my hand and hold on tight." I told him as I extended my hand to him. "Where are we going?" He asked unsure as he took my hand and squeezed it in a death grip, yeah, there was no way he was letting go anytime soon. "To find Mary's sister." I replied and with a pop, we were gone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ow!" Chris yelped as we appeared in a forest, beyond the trees I could see a large Manor. "What, are you hurt?" I asked Chris, panicked as I scanned him for any signs of injury, he didn't appear to have any. "Relax, I only said ow because you stepped on my foot when we landed." Chris told me when he saw my panicked expression, with that I relaxed and took a deep, calming breath. "Okay. Sorry by the way." I said and added the last part. "It's okay. Now, where are we?" He asked me as he looked around, I smirked. "In a forest." I replied. He glared at me. "Well, I can see that!" He told me annoyed. "Then why'd you ask?" I asked him, knowing full well I was gettin on his nerves.
"Ugh!" He said and stomped off, towards the Manor. "Hey, wait up! I'm sorry!" I said running to catch up with him. "Thank you." He said. "Anyway, I think that's Malfoy Manor, and if I am correct, then we are in serous trouble." I told him and stopped him from walking any farther. "Why?" He asked looking up at me. "Because, that means Mary's sister is in there. And that means we have to walk into the lions den." I said looking him dead in the eye. Chris swallowed hard. "Well, what are we waiting for then?" He asked and with that, he began to walk through the thick forest, and to Malfoy Manor, with me hot on his trail.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Chris and I had to wait in the bushes outside the gate to the Manor, because we didn't have a way in, so we had to wait for someone to come in out of it and then we would slip inside. Hopefully unnoticed. It's been a few hours and we're still waiting to get in. "Ally, are you sure about this?" Chris asked unsure, I turned so I could face him. "Yes. I know this is scary, but it'll all be okay. Once we get Mary's little sister, we'll get the hell outta there. I promise." I told him. He took a shaky breath and nodded and turned his attention back to the gate, I turned my back so I was facing the gate again as well. All of the sudden I realized somthing, I turned my head toward Chris. "Hey Chris?" I asked. "Yeah?" He said looking at me. "Remember how I told you I time traveled? Well, I was just wondering, uh, what year is this?" I asked him. "April 11th, 1998." He replied. My mouth fell open, I couldn't believe I had been gone that long! I mean, I guess it makes sense since time had passed back in the past. "Thanks." I told him dryly as I faced the gate once more. "No problem." He said.
I would need to pick up all the recent Daily Profit 's when this was over with. "Look!" Chris whispered nudging me, I looked at him and he pointed over to the driveway, it led to the gate to the Manor. There was a cloaked figure walking up the driveway, from what I could make of him, he was a Death Eater. "Get down." I hissed at Chris and I pushed him down so the bushes were coving him once more, he had been slowly sitting up more and more, and he was able to be seen if someone were to look our way. But I pushed him to the safety of the dirt.
Chris lifted his head and said."Hey tha-" I cut him off, "shush!" I whispered and covered his mouth. I watched as the cloaked figure approached the gates, someone on the other side opened them and the cloaked figure walked through. "I'll be right back, stay here and keep hidden!" I told Chris quickly as I stood up. "If a young girl comes out of that Manor by herself and she's running, help her because I most likely told her to go on with out me, and if that is the case do not come in there looking for me, understood?" I asked. "Yes." He replied.
"And if I'm not back in two hours find a way to Diagon Alley and find the Wesasly's, you can tell them what's happened. Understood?" I asked in my best big sister voice. "Understood. But you're coming back, with Mary's sister." He said and added that last part. "Okay. Be safe." I told him and with that I ran to the gates, blending in just like a cheetah. "Be safe!" I heard Chris whisper/yell. I laughed silently to myself. I slipped through the gap between the gates as they were closing and silently made my way to the door.
The clothes I was wearing were perfect for this sort of thing,
I was wearing black jeans,
Black boots, and a black sweater. I had also turned my hair black with dark blue streaks, and it was long now. I also changed my eye color to Blue, just in case someone were to see me.
Anyway, I quickly and quietly followed the cloaked figure and a man with blond hair- Lucius Malfoy. Oh how wonderful, I thought to myself bitterly.
Mr. Malfoy opened his front door and let the cloaked figure in, I quickly pressed my Raven neckless and I took the from of a Raven, with that I swooped into the Manor right before the door shut. Thankfully it went unnoticed. I few around a corner, sticking to the ceilings as to not be seen. I searched the whole of the house before I saw her in their dinning room, a girl who's face resembled Mary's, only this girl was younger, maybe 12? 13? She had long wavy black hair that was matted with blood and blue eyes that seemed to flow tears. She looked scared as Bellatrix Lestrange paced before her holding a knife.
"Now, you better start talking. Where is Potter!" Bellatrix hissed at the girl. "I- I d- don't k- know!" She sobbed. "Foolish, you are a foolish girl!" Bellatrix yelled at the young girl and pushed her to the ground, then she took her knife and began carving something into the girls wrist. The girl screamed and I swooped into the room, dive booming Bellatrix, who, leaped away from the young girl and glared at me as I backed off. Waiting for her next move. "How did that stupid bird get in here?!" She shouted to her sister Narcissa Malfoy, as she walked into the room. "I don't know, it must have come in when Lucius and Severus came inside." She replied to her sister, her eyes darted from her sister to the child sobbing on her floor.
"Well, what do you say about us getting rid of the nasty little thing, huh? Avada Kedavra!" Bellatrix yelled and fired the killing curse at me, I flew to the side and it missed me by an inch, that was far to close. Bellatrix moved so she was now standing under a chandelier, I decided I might as well have a bit of fun, so I flew really fast towards the chain holding the chandelier and brushed my claws against it. See, my claws are a lot stronger then a normal birds, they're made of bronze so the chain snapped clean off. The chandelier fell on Bellatrix before she realized what even happened, haha she had it coming! I flew down and landed next to Marry's sister.
I changed back to my human form, "hey, it's okay. You're safe now, I'm here. But you need to come with me before she wakes up." I said as she looked up at me. "You mean she isn't dead? How are earth can anyone live after that sort of thing?" She asked me eyes wide, her face was red and streaked with tears. "Believe me, she's alive. But we won't be if we stay much longer, come on." I said standing up and holding my hand out to her, she took it and stood. We turned to leave but saw that someone was standing in the way. "Where do you two think you are going?" Narcissa asked us with raised eye brows, her arms crossed. "We are leaving." I replied calmly. "Not this way you're not. Come!" She told us and walked passed us to a small doorway.
"And why may I ask, should we trust you?" I asked not moving. "You don't have to, but you so however have to trust that I know my house better then you do, and of you were to walk out the front door, you would meet many Death Eaters on you're way there. And you wouldn't leave this house alive if they saw what you did to my sister, so, are you coming?" She told/asked us. I looked to the girl beside me and saw that she seemed to trust this woman, I took a deep breath. "Fine. But I still don't trust you." I said and with that, Marry's little sister and I followed Mrs. Malfoy out of the house.
"Why did you help us?" I asked her as we stood by a tree in the shadows. "Because I have a son, and I couldn't imagine him being hurt in the way my sister did to this young girl. I have no clue who you are, but I know that Lucy is safe with you. Good bye." Mrs. Malfoy said and began to walk back to her home, "wait! What will you tell them?" I called to her. "I will think of something, now leave quickly!" She called back and with that she turned and went back inside, I turned to 'Lucy' as Narcissa had called her, and with that we ran back out front. "Chris, come on!" I hissed towards where I knew he was hiding, he popped up and ran towards us. "This her?" He asked looking me. "I believe so." I replied. "Nice to meet you, I am Chris Bane." He told her.
"Nice to meet you" she said and looked to me. "So where are we going?" She asked. "We're going somewhere safe. Hold on to me tight, because we're getting out of here fast." I said, Chris didn't hesitate as he crushed my right hand as he held on for dear life, 'Lucy' did the same only with my left. Good thing I don't need my hands to do this, I thought to myself laughing a bit. With a pop the three of us disappeared into the night.

Hellooooooooooo!
So what do you think about Ally having another power? Bet you didn't see that one coming.
Sorry for not updating sooner, things have just been really crazy lately and I haven't had as much time to write. But hopefully I'll be able to have the next chapter up by next week, otherwise it will probably up at the end of next week or early on in the week after.
Bye my dears!
Xoxo,
Caitlyn.
P.s
the reasoning for the chapter being called 'The Bronze Raven, The Snake Woman and The Chandelier' is because Ally's neckless is a bronze raven, which is what allows her to Time-Tavel and change into a real bronze raven, The Snake woman is Bellatrix, One, because she was in Slytherin and Two, because she is like a snake. The Reason for The Chandelier, is because of Ally knocking it down on top of Bellatrix.
