Chapter 14 Preparing for the Revel

Chapter 14 Preparing for the Revel

Sara woke up in her darkened chambers and quietly disengaged herself from the sleeping wizards. She lightly padded to her bath chambers and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was already drawn with Sassy waiting to assist.

“Many thanks, Sassy.” She told the elf as she handed her the pajamas and T-shirt and slipped into the welcoming bath. She smelled the lavender hat had been added to the water. It relaxed and soothed her. As she had about three hours before she had to meet Lucius just outside of Hogsmeade, she allowed herself just to soak, enjoying the perfectly heated water.

Bootstray woke as the witch left her bed. He lit the scones in her bed chambers and opened her wardrobe to see if he could find a practical outfit. He heard an angry clicking sound and turned around to find Hades staring back at him angrily. He held his hands out. “Hades, I am just trying to find something practical for your mistress. It is going to be a rough day for her and want her prepared.”

Hades made a snorting noise. His mistress could take care of herself.

“Okay Hades, have it your way you overprotective bird brain! Besides I’ve got a better idea.”

Bootstray heard Sara’s voice from behind the bath chamber’s door. “You really should watch what you say to Hades. He has a long memory, and I told you that he is basically on loan to me. Trust me when I say that you would not want his true owner upset with you. “He heard her light laughter and just muttered that he was going to wake Slightly.

He walked over to the bed and looked at the sleeping wizard and smirked. He grabbed his wand from the bed stand and whispered “Aguamenti!” Water shot out of the end of his wand and hitting Slightly right in the face.

Slightly sputtered and jumped out of the bed, wand in hand.

“Good to see you keeping your reflexes up, Mate!” Bootstray chortled as Slightly looked back to him with disgust. “Come on, Hades is here to protect our witch’s honour, and besides, she’ll be out soon.” They left Sara’s bedchamber, Slightly drying himself with a charm as they walked out the door.

“Hades?” Sara called out. “Have you run them off yet?” Hades answered the affirmative as he transformed himself into human form.

She walked out, towel wrapped around her lithe body.

Hades walked toward her “I think this actor would make your “To Shag” list Mistress. His name is John and is well known in the genre of adult films, whatever that means.”

She pulled at his waistband and glanced down. Her eyes widened as he smugly grinned at her.

“Well?”

“That would be a NO, Hades!” That thing would break me in two. While it is said that length means something, I would like to survive the act!”

Hades smirked back at her. “And I thought that you would approve!”

Just then, Sassy arrived with a bundle of clothing. “Mistress! Fuzzy chin Boot requests youse are to wear these today. Mistress, they’s is hideous!” She spat.

Sara took the bundle of clothing and dismissed her. Most masters would be their house elves for speaking their mind. She did not, as if the elves thought they could approach her, they would warn of danger without worrying of consequences. History was full of dead Lords and Ladies that beat their elves until they felt they could not approach and speak their minds. They died as their own house elves were scared to approach their masters as danger approached.

Hades silently agreed with the elf as Sara unfolded the bundle.

The outfit consisted of a black cotton-like long sleeve shirt. It felt light. She sensed many protection charms on the garment. The trousers and jacket was of the same material. She felt the stiffness of dried blood on the cloth. She realized that this was the garments that Bootstray would wear while on assignments to the guild.

She put them on and used her wand to fit them to her body.

Hades looked to his mistress. “The wizard cares for you, and I think that you care for him as well.”

“I do Hades. I just cannot afford these emotions to get the best of me.” She suspected these freed emotions were part of the dark liquid that she drank during the Traitor ceremony. “I need to be as I always have been, cold and distant, if we are to succeed.” She grabbed up her Initiate robes and wrapped them about her. “Time for business!” She intoned coldly.

She entered her dining hall and sat next to her Sergeant at Arms. She handed them 5 packets with the name of the five wizards she would reveal. “After I leave, you will gather these families and place them safely away.” They noticed her coldness and did not react.

Yes, Sara, we will do as you bid.” Slightly replied.

She tucked the mask of the initiate in her robes and stood up. The wizards noticed the cold eyes of a Master Assassin.

Bootstray whispered to her. “Be well, Sara. We will take care of the tasks you have set before us.”

She walked out to her grounds and appareted to meet her destiny.
