Saturday, the best day of the week. Historia lay in her bed fast asleep,cocooned in her sheets.
Master,A voice whispered.
She groaned stuffing her head in the pillows.
Master wake up.You must go eat.
Historia peaked from inside the pillows to meet Qnyxs golden yellow eyes.
Master your awake,The snakes eyes crinkling like it was smiling.
Taking a few seconds to process, she bolted up with a yelp knocking the snake off the bed landing with a low thump,"What the?!"
Ow!!!Master why must you do that?
"Wha-How?HUH!?"
The snake slithered its way back on the bed,annoyed.
Master calm down.
She covered her ears as if to block the voice,"What going on?!"
Please cal-
Historia started mumbling to herself hysterically,"Am I going crazy?"
Master-
"I must be going crazy."
can you-
"Oh god."
Please-
"I'm crazy."
Master-
Her throat closed,"Can't breath."
MASTER!!!!
"Huh?"She squeaked.
Calm down take a breath,Qnyx said trying to sooth his hysterical owner.
She took a deep breath,"Whats going on?Are you talking or are there voices in my head now?"
Onyx slithered around her arm,amused,Simple answer A Familiars Bond.
"What?"She said breath less.
A Familiars Bond WE have a bond now Master, magically.
"How come I never noticed it before?"
A bond like this takes time Master.If it happened so quickly then it would have killed us both.
"Um,do others have this bond?Can they hear their familiars voice in their heads?"
The snake shook his head,No a Familiars Bond is very rare.Not many have it.
"Huh,"stuffing her head into her hands raking her hair she groaned,"my head hurts."
Onyxs chuckle echoed in her head,It will time for you to get used to it Master.
"Fine,but if I'm going to get used to it I have one rule,"Looking into her snakes eyes,"Don't call me Master it's weird, just Hisoria is fine."
Of course Historia,flicking his tough lightly on her nose, now as I said before you must eat every growing human need to,sticking his nose in the air.
She rolled her eyes,"Alright."
Historia made her way through the common room in a simple black long sleeve and school pants.Her wand held securely in them along with her pen and Onyx small body wrapped around her arm, head hanging off her shoulder.
"Hey Moon."
She looked to see the Slytherin Prefect,"Yes?"
"Headmaster whats to see you after breakfast."
Historia shrugged,"Alright."And she walked on out the portrait.
Walking through the doors of Hogwarts cafeteria she was glad to Harry eating toast and Hermione nose in a book and surprisingly no red head to be seen.
"Hey guys"
"Historia!!!"Hermione said thrilled
"Morning Historia,"Said Harry smiling as she sat beside Hermione a plate a breakfast magically appearing before her.
"So what ya'll going to do this weekend?"As she dug into the meal.
"Mn,probably History of Magic homework."
She rose a brow,"But that isn't due for another week Granger."
"Doesn't mean it can't be down before its due,"She said with a huff.
Historia chuckled,"Alright then.What about you Harry?"
He shrugged,"Probably head off to Hadrigs after breakfast,you?"
She stopped fork in hand,"Uh well the Headmaster asked to see me after breakfast."
"What, why?What did you do?"Hermione said narrowing her eyes slightly.
Historia rose her hands up in surrender,"Nothing I swear.I honestly don't know why he wants to see me."She chuckled nervously.Giving one last look Hermione stuck her nose back in her book.
"You going to join Harry to see Hadrig?"
"Perhaps I've got questions."
"Of course you do."She mumbled,munching on toast.
"What?"
"Nothing."Historia said a cold sweat falling down her neck,Really scary.
I agree,Onyx whispered in her head.
"So,"gesturing to the empty seat by Harry,"where's Weasley?"
"Ron is sleeping in."He said.
"Lucky."She mumbled to herself,Onyx hissed and she bopped his nose,"Oh by the way,you two mind watching Onyx while I'm at-"
"Ms.Moon,"said a gruff voice.
Historia cleared her face as she turned to see her Head house,"Yes Professor?"
"The Headmaster has sent me to remind you that he requests your presence,"he scrunched his hook nose disgust,"and that his favorite candy are Lemon drops."
He turned his heel with a billow of his black robes and was gone.
"Greasy git."Harry said through gritted teeth.
Historia rested her chin in her hand,"He's the potions master right?"
"Yeah."He said groaning.
"Hmm~not a very nice man,"she sighed,"anyway since your going to visit Hadrig mind watching over Onyx."Unwrapping Onyx from herself.
"Sure,"Hermione said thrilled as Historia got up and gently wrapped him around her neck
Historia dusted herself off,"Meet you at Hadrigs?"
Nodding, they waved goodbye as she turned and left to see the Headmaster.Finding the Headmasters was a challenge she kept walking into dead ends.
Another dead end!!!She thought glaring at the wall.But soon she new she had found it when she founds a large and ugly stone gargoyle guarding the entrance.Its life less eyes glared down at her.
"Password?"It asked rudely.
"What password?"She frowned.
Its eyes narrowed,"No password,then leave."
Historia scowled mumbling,"The man asks for me and doesn't even give a bloody password to get in."
And his favorite candy are Lemon Drops,Snapes words echoed in her head.
I wonder...
"Uh,Lemon Drops?"She said unsure.
And with that the statue turned revealing a circular staircase.
"Huh."
After walking up the circular staircase she knock on the Headmasters door followed by a muffled 'Come in'.
Walking in she found all sorts of gadgets and magical items.They ticked and creaked, swirled and glowed and floated is was truly magnificent.And in the middle of it all was the Headmaster in his desk,his blue eyes twinkling behind his half moon spectacles.
"Hello Historia it's good to finally meet you,"he gestured to the seat that magically appeared before him,"please have a seat."
Finally?
She calmly took a seat,"Hello Headmaster."
"Please,Professor Dumbledor is just fine."Smiling behind his long grey beard.
"Of course Professor."Standing straight up, hands on her lap, a posture she was taught to master.
"How you doing in Hogwarts?"
"It quite alright I suppose."
He smiling brightened,"I hear you've become friends with Gryffindors."
"Is that against the rules?"She asked worried.
"No,its alright not many Slytherins would ever befriend a Gryffindor. Quite good to have some change around here."
Behind his half-moon spectacles his eyes unnoticeable dulled ever so slightly,until returning.He opened drawer and her muscles tensed.Hand instinctively twitched to reach her pen,"You must be wondering why your here Young Moon?"Laying out a letter on his desk.
She didn't answer.But he carried on anyway with a sad sigh,"Fourteen years ago during the war,"her interest peaked,"a young witch came to me.A very gifted witch indeed,very strong too.She had asked for protection for her and her family.Saying in exchange she would help fight and that she did.Fighting battle after battle.This witch never gave into defeat.And soon she meet a muggle man and they fell in love,married and had a child,"He looked into her eyes,"that child was you,Historia."
Historia gaped,"My mother sh-"
"Titonia and Marcus Moon,"He slid the letter before her,"they left this to me so that when you finally came to Hogwarts it would be given to you safely."
Taking the letter she held it grazing her finger over the seal,her eyes burned.
"I suggest you read it when your alone Historia. You must remember that their are some who don't take kindly to you."
And she gentle placed it in her pocket,clearing her throat,"Thank you Professor.Is that all?"
"Yes for now."
She wasn't going to wait for him to dismiss her and she got up and a quickly walked to the door.
"But,"She stopped and turned to look at the old man her, hand still on the door handle,"in my school days I found the library can hold answers to the many questions we have of things that were hidden from us."And smiled looking off into space his eyes twinkling mad,"So many books its wonderful,"he turned back,"don't you think so to Historia?"
But she was already gone running off to Hadrigs to retrieve Onyx and hoped that her visit would be short so she could read the letter.
Dumbledor smiled sadly at the spot where she once stood,She looks like you Titonia.
