Between angels and insects

Somewhere in the Carpathians, The Nemesis and the Chosen one were fighting for their life, alongside with their Headmaster.

“Aguamenti!” Dumbledore shouted and the jet of water hit the beast.

“Seena, rip off its main golden horn! Now!” Harry yelled through the noise. “Impedimenta!”

“How do I know which one it is! Their all golden and big!”

“The one on its forehead, the biggest!” Dumbledore shouted to the girl who was on the Hungarian Horntail’s head, holding on to sharp knife-like horns to maintain her balance. The dragon was spitting fire on them. It was like a fountain of flames and lava and Dumbledore’s Aguamenti spell wasn’t very useful against it. Then the dragon took off.

“Seena!” Harry screamed with horror. But the dragon was already out of reach.

“Miss Weasley, Miss Granger? What are you doing here? The curfew is at 8pm. I already told you I didn’t know anything.” Professor McGonagall scolded. She was wearing a dressing gown and Scottish slippers. Hermione handed her the envelope and the old lady stared at it with astonishment.

“What is this?”

“It’s from Seena. I thought maybe you could help us.”

The three of them listened to Seena’s message carefully. Hermione shivered when the love declaration part came. But to her surprise, McGonagall didn’t say anything, nor even blinked.

“-Don’t worry too much okay? ...Shit!” When the message ended, there was a blank. Hermione and Ginny expected nervously the teacher’s reaction.

“Miss Weasley, could you please go get Hagrid and tell him to come to my office?” She asked politely and the redhead girl left quickly.

“So what do you think?” Hermione questionned.

“I think we may have a clue. And although this is a personal message adressed to you, I’m afraid but I need Hagrid to listen to it.” The woman apologized. Hermione’s eyes opened wide. The last thing she wanted was the half of Hogwarts to know about her secret relationship with Seena.

“O-Okay but um...” She stammered.

“Don’t worry, your life doesn’t concern anyone else but yourself.” The teacher smiled in a motherly way.

“Thank you.” Hermione sighed, relieved. After a moment, Ginny and Hagrid arrived.

“Good evening Hagrid, could you please listen to this, and tell me what you hear in the back. I already have an idea, but I need your confirmation.”

“Alrigh’!” When the scream resounded in the office the gamekeeper raised his eyebrows.
“Hungarian Horntail! Am pretty sure of it. A male Hungarian Horntail!” the half-giant exclaimed.

“That’s what I thought...”

“Oh my God...” Hermione whispered.

“At least we know where they are. But that doesn’t tell us what they are doing.” mcGonagall continued. “Hagrid, could you tell Alastor that Dumbledore’s probably in Hungary or Slovak Republic? And I need to inform the Ancients as well. Maybe they could help us.”

“Yes Professor. Am on my way.” Hagrid left in a hurry.

“Go back to your dorm, girls. You can do anything else.” The woman said. She gave back the envelope to Hermione and waited for the girls to leave to get dressed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, there was a lot of agitation amongst the students in the Great Hall. Indeed, two men and a woman were sitting at the table with Professor McGonagall. The three strangers were wearing long white robes with blue symbols. Hermione immediately recognized the symbols she had seen on Seena’s former bedroom door.

‘The Ancients...’

All of them looked worried and unnerved too. Hermione tried to focus on the movements of their lips.

“I can’t believe you let her go!” The woman was saying.

“I’m terribly sorry Mrs Thompson, you perfectly know that Seena is a wild child. She defeated Lord Voldemort, before the Great Battle even started!”

“We heard of it. But we sent her here to contain her in the first place! To keep her safe from the darkness and from herself! She isn’t Dumbledore’s tool for some mission around the world!” The eldest Ancient exclaimed.

“Pardon me, but you made her a ‘tool’ like you said, to accomplish your will!”

“How dare you!” The Ancient replied, standing up. There was a very long silence in the Great Hall, the quarrel had caught the attention of the students.

“We will go on with this conversation in the Headmaster’s office, if you will.” McGonagall said sharply. When she finished her breakfast, Hermione was about to leave to her class when Filch caught her arm.

“In the Headmaster’s office, now!” He groaned and dragged her to Dumbledore’s office. “Go in!”

Hermione nodded and waited for the spiral stairs to lead her up. She wasn’t in the office yet, but she could hear shoutings.

“You are aware that Seena’s dark side can overwhelm her at any moment? She isn’t human for Gaïa’s sake! She will be uncontrolable if you don’t find a way to soothe her.”

“We’ve been doing fine since now, Mrs Rogers, she made tremendous progress.”

“You don’t understand me, she is the combination of pure Good and pure Evil. If one of those two entities awakes and take the advantage on the other, she’ll be the most dangerous being on Earth and the most powerful one!”

Hermione tried to fight the knot that was forming in her belly and entered the room shyly. The shoutings stopped in an instant.

“Miss Granger, please come here.” McGonagall asked calmly.

“So it’s the girl?”

“Yes, she is the one who received the message from Seena.” The teacher explained. “I’m sorry Miss Granger, I didn’t want you to be involved into this.”

“You must be a very special girl, because Seena doesn’t trust people easily. She would never have sent you a message if you weren’t important to her.” The Ancient woman said with a smirk

“Do you have any idea, or any information that could lead us to-” The third Ancient asked.

“I already told you that she doesn’t know anything!” McGonagall cut him.

“What about this message? Why can’t we listen to it?”

“It’s a personal message.” Hermione replied.

“I’m not sure I understand...”The eldest Ancient frowned.

“We’ve already taken everything we could from this message. Seena, Mr Potter and Professor Dumbledore are fine, as far as we know, and they are somewhere in Hungary or Slovak Republic.” McGonagall came to rescue the girl, changing the subject.

“That is unacceptable. As soon as we find her, she is coming back in the United States. She’ll no longer study in this school!”

Hermione’s world stopped. She couldn’t hear or speak anymore. Her heart began to pulse incredibly fast. Seena was lost somewhere, fighting evil, maybe dead. And in the case she’d come back, the two of them couldn’t be together anymore. It was too much for Hermione. She collapsed on the ground, unconscious. She didn’t have the time to see the three figures apparating in the office.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When Harry, Seena and Albus Dumbledore apparated in the wizard’s office, they weren’t sure what to think of the scene in front of them.

“Waow...is there a party or something?” The brunette frowned. She noticed her transfiguration teacher, three Ancients and...Hermione on the floor?

“Fuck!” She groaned and rushed to her girlfriend. Harry followed her and knelt by Hermione.

“Minerva, what is going on here?” Dumbledore asked with a very tired voice.

“You didn’t tell me where you were going Professor, so after a few days we feared something might have happened. You’ve never left without informing me or Hagrid before. So I warned the Ancients about the situation.”

“What happened to her? What did you do Enron?” Seena shouted with rage to the eldest Ancient.

“She just fainted, Seena, calm down!” The woman said.

“Hermione? Come on babe, wake up!”

“Babe? Since when you call Hermone babe?” Harry chuckled. Seena chose not to reply.

“Seena, can you explain yourself please!” Enron ordered.

“Seena?” Hermione’s eyes slowly opened. The Nemesis hugged her tightly.

“I missed you so much...Are you okay?”

“Yes I am, I guess...Are you?” Hermione looked into her eyes, hers were already filled with tears.

“Yeah, only a few scratches and burns, I’ll be fine.” She helped her standing up.

“Seena, I’m warning you, this is your last chance!” The Ancient screamed at her.

“Shut the fuck up Enron!” The violence in the brunette’s voice was as sharp as the silence that followed.

“We are in love, end of the story.” She stated more calmly. The sentence caused many different reactions amongst the audience. Harry was frowning but smiling, McGonagall and Dumbledore looked like parents proud of their child, and the three Ancients were stunned.

“You can’t possibly be in love!” The youngest Ancient exclaimed.

“It’s all non-sense, let’s take her back.” Enron took a step toward her.

Seena stood in front of him and faced him.

“This school changed you, but not in the good way.” The Ancient glared at Hermione. “And this girl...she-”

“Don’t look at her like that!” Seena greeted between her teeth.

“She just perverted you and dragged you into darkness.”

“Shut up!” Seena screamed and thumped the table which broke into pieces.

“Enron, maybe we should-”

“You are the Nemesis, not a normal student!”

“You told me I should be more human!”

“And look where it led you!"

Professor McGonagall grabbed Dumbledore’s arm.

“Professor, we should intervene somehow...”

“No, Minerva, this is Seena’s Great Battle.”

“That’s enough! We’re bringing you back whether you want it or not Armina! Jenay!” Enron shouted and took her fellows’ hands. They began chanting in Latin.

“No! You can’t take me away from her!” Seena yelled, but the pain was already hitting her. All of a sudden she felt something changing in her. She felt herself sinking into a deep hole of darkness. She fell on her knees, arms spread, and a giant black fire emerged from her chest. Her eyes turned black and a sort of black ink ran through her skin.

“Oh my Goddess, Enron! She-she is...” Armina moaned with fear. But the old Ancient didn’t have time to reply. Seena jumped on him and pinned him against the window. The glass broke and the two of them fell down to the ground, at the bottom of the high tower. Dubledore, McGonagall, Harry, Hermione and the two remaining Ancients rushed to the window. Seena was standing down there, in the moonlight, looking at Enron’s body.

“Impyro!” She smirked as her former mentor’s body was burning on the grass.

“Seena...What have you done...” Hermione said with a shaking voice. She couldn’t take her eyes of the body in flames. But the worst was Seena’s dark smile as the brunette was staring at them all. Her stare stopped on the two other Ancients.

“The worst has just happened...” Armina whispered before her and Jenay collapsed on the ground, spasms shaking their bodies, and finally died with their eyes opened.
