The Dark Castle

The Dark Castle

Many students were watching Blaze and Angel curiously when he led her up to the headmaster's office.

"Come in!" Dumbledore's voice said before Blaze had a chance to knock on the door.

Blaze and Angel went inside and took a seat.

"Allow me to intruduce Angel to you, headmaster. Angel, this is Albus Dumbledore," he said formally.

"Pleased to meet you sir!" said Angel sweetly.

"Angel," said Dumbledore surprised but pleased non the less.

His eyes swept over her, taking her in.

"But you're not..."

"Pregnant? No sir. I had a miscarrige two days ago. Think nothing of it! It feels good to be rid of it. I know my brother gave me something to drink to make it go away. I would never kill my child on my own so I did not know until afterwards. But I do not grief. I didn't want a child with that good for nothing son of a bitch!" she said heatedly.

She was acting very well so he suspected that she meant the last part. Or all of it really.

"Oh. Ahem, well then Angel, Harry. Lemon drop, tea?" Albus asked them.

They both declined.

Angel's hand found his hand and he squized it lightly.

"Where do you live Angel? I'm affraid Harry haven't told me much about you."

"Why would he?" she asked with wide innocent eyes.

Blaze had to admire her acting skills.

"I don't mean to be disrespectful sir but as far as I'm concearned you're his headmaster, strictly so to speak. I do not understand why a pupil would tell his headmaster about his love life. If I have misstaken on your relation please correct me," she said.

Dumbledore seemed speechless for a while.

"Well I must say that i do believe that young Harry and me have become accuriate with each other during the years and he tells me most things."

"In that case... My name is Angela Rose Paice and I am sixteen years old. I live with my parents in London. I had an older brother but he died 13 years ago when I was three."

So Xavilier was 23 years old when he was turned, Blaze thought.

"I'm sorry to hear that," said Albus.

"Don't be. He's not really dead. He never died you see, just in my fathers eyes., You see, my brother loves music and when he was 23 years old he joined a band even if father forbid him. He haven't been home since but mother and I visit him occationly."

"I see. What's your brother's name?"

"Xavilier Paice."

"Alright then Angela."

"Please call me Angel. My parents just wrote Angela in the birth centificate but they've always called me Angel just like everybody else. In fact, not many knows that my name is actually Angela."

"Who was the father to your lost child?"

"I'd rather not tell sir," she said quite coldly and Blaze could really understand her.

Albus was prying tot much.

"I'd be satisfied if you kindly do tell me," Albus pressed.

Blaze glared at him but Albus ignored him.

"His name was Damien LeGrand which I hope to god I'll never see gain. And I probably won't. I heard that he died recently in a gun shoot duel. He was into muggle drugs, see. His father, I've heard, cleared all records of him that ever exsitsted because he was so ashamed. I would not know whether its true or not, nor do I care. He was a mistake, we were never together you see."

"And how is your sex life with harry fairing?"

Both Angel and Blaze gasped.

"What the fuck?" Blaze burst out.

Albus had no shame in his body!

"Mind your own fucking business!" he continued.

He stood up and dragged Angel with him towards the door.

"Come on honey. We're not staying another minute in this room!" he said angrily and threw the door open with a force that made the door slam into the wall with a loud bang.

"The nerve of that man!" Angela screeched when they hurried up the stairs to reach the Divation class.

"I never knew he was such a pervert," Blaze murmured.

Angel stopped and looked at him before she laughed.

"God this is funny! I will never know how you managed to make such a big mess out of this!"

"Well, that howler from the idiot trio made this entire circus rolling! I just wish they would shut up already!" he said and glared at a first year, which watched them curiously.

"Yes but you got to admit that they sang good. I heard them when they composted it."

"What?! And you didn't stop them?" he asked increadously.

"It wasn't my place to do so, besides, i never knew it was meant for you. They didn't sat it was."

"Anything to make me sweat I guess."

"They're quite the pranksters those three."

"Hum? You know, I was thinking... that thing you said about Xavilier and you dad, is it true?"

Angel sighed.

"Yes it is. My father is a stubborn man which gives him much pain but he doesn't want to admit it."

"Why did you bring Damien into this shit?"

"I made one person disappear out from the picture. Dumbledore would wish to look up on my information and X. Now he can't do so and I picked Damien because I know there is no records of him so it would support my story."

"So you got pregnant on one night stand?"

"Yes. And don't even start to tell me how stupid I was. Xavilier won't let me hear the end of it."

"I'm not judging you."

"Good. It will be easier to hang around in that case."

Blaze had nothing to say on that so they walked in silence and he warned ehr about the false steps.

"What's divation like?"

Blaze made a hollow laugh.

"No doubt you'll see. It's hard to explain it. But you won't like it, I tell you that!"

When Blaze and Angel stepped into the classroom (um, climbed) they were met by silence.

Trellawny gave a shrill shreek.

"She's the cursed one! The child she bear is cursed! He's just like his father Harry!" she yelled dramaticlly.

Angel took an anxious step back.

"No doubt Dumbledore told his staff that I've got a pregnant girlfriend. I guess he left out who the father is," Blaze whispered.

Angel became sure of herself again.

"I have no child to bear you crazy old woman! I would appreciate it if you shut your gob about things you don't know. And i would gladly do a pregnatsy test just to show you that I'm not pregnant!"

"Come on love, let's sit down over here," said Blaze and led her over to Draco and sat down with him while Draco was watching Angel curiously.

Trellawny ignored them the rest of the lesson like she always did when she had been told of.

"Read the signs of the chrystal!" she told Blaze and Angel stiffly before she moved over to Neville who had managed to break his chrystal in two.

"Hi. I'm Draco Malfoy," Draco whispered to Angel.

"Angel Paice, pleased to meet you," she said.

"Are you going to attend to Hogwarts?

"No I'm not. I'm just visiting. I attend to a school in Ireland."

"Oh... You're from Ireland?"

"Still the answer is no. I just go to school there," she smiled.

"AHEM!" Trellawny said and all three pretended to concentrate on their work for the rest of the lesson.

"Harry! I've been looking all over for you! Did you go to your lesson? Because if i find out that you didn't I'll-"

"Meet Angel, my girlfriend Hermione," he interrupted her.

"Oh..." she said stupidly. It took a few seconds for her to take it in.

"Oh...Oh...OH! My name is Hermione Granger, frind to Harry. Nice to meet you!" she said.

"Nice to meet you too Hermione. And I can assure you that we were on divation."

"Oh, alright. I, I was just, doesn't matter. Are you going to the tower?" she asked.

"No. DADA," Blaze answered.

"Oh yes of course. Me too. Let's company then."

"Yes Hermione but please don't ask me how divation was," said Blaze.

"I promise."

The two girls chattered while Blaze walked behind them.

He could tell by his senses that Angel wasn't half as interested in house elf's rights as Hermione was but she till put up a good show.
