Sleeping Beauty

After a long walk, I reach the barrier again which opens by itself once I get in front of it. I take my time to reach the cave where the living area is. I say hello to all the curious Veela without stopping to answer their questions since the Queen is waiting for me.

From afar I see the Queen standing in front of her home with a smile "Have you taken care of them?" She asks as I near the house.

I nod "I got a lot of stuff for you as well, they won't need it anymore."

She smiles brightly "Thank you for that, your sister should wake up by the time dinner is ready. Let's go inside and talk." She turns and walks into her home.

I follow behind her avoiding all the gazes of the other Veela, only giving them a smile. As I reach the door she turns back to me.

"You can leave anything you wanted to give to us out front."

I nod "Okay, but it is a lot." I swipe my arm out in an over-dramatic fashion.

Fog seeps from my body and the area in front of the house is flooded by a mass of black fog. The fog slowly fades as it reveals all the things I took from the vampires. As I'm removing the furniture from my space I realize that the sword is gone. Although it was an amazing sword I don't really mind that it's gone, it probably had a return charm on it or something.

Looking at all the stuff I took out she looks astonished. "It seems like we will need to build a dining hall. You go inside, I'll handle all the stuff you brought." She steps out of the way and gestures me past.

I nod and head up to the room my sister is sleeping in. I sit in the chair next to her bed and notice her face is even more beautiful than when I left. Since I'm still exhausted from fighting I lay my head on the bed and close my eyes.

****

I wake up to the feeling of someone stroking their hands through my hair. I look up and see Sis is now awake and has my head on her lap. I feel my face heat up as I sit up in the chair.

She smirks at my blushed face "Good to see my little savior is finally awake."

I blush even more "How are you feeling, any pain?"

She shakes her head "No, in fact, I feel better than ever. Like I could take on an army without getting a scratch on me."

I sigh "Please don't try taking on an army AGAIN."

She laughs a bit "So you know about the vampires. Yeah, there were a lot of them, but the leader was the only real threat I think."

"Yes, he was." I hear a voice come from behind me. I turn to see the Veela Queen walking in with three cups of tea on a plater. "Here" she puts the plater with the tea in between Sis and me.

We both take a cup and Sis speaks up "Thank you, Ana, you've been a great host."

She smiles "Not a problem, how could I refuse such a cute young man? With the way he nearly broke down my door crying, I'm sure even the dead would have gotten up to help." Sis giggles as the Queen glances over at me with a wink.

If my face could blush anymore I'm sure it would be bleeding. I try to ignore the harassment and speak as calmly as I can. "So your name is Ana, it's a pretty name. I am Soren Black, sorry for the late introduction."

Ana smiles "My real name is Zornitsa, Ana is my second name and what I go by. It's nice to meet you Soren, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave the room for a bit." She looks over at Sis and they nod to each other. "We need a little time for girls talk."

I nod and walk out of the room trying to calm my blushing face. From behind me, I can hear them laughing.

'How did those two become acquainted so fast?' I think to myself.

I take my tea and go sit in the living room staring at the fireplace thinking. I am mainly thinking about the possible five people I saw in the foe glass. The possibilities quickly run through my head.

My first, and best, assumption is that Aadit had a charm on his body that told who was killed by. But I don't know if that kind of charm would work while I'm in my Dementor form.

If that's the case then the two close figures were most certainly Aadit's parents. That would make sense since he is the chosen one and all. I know for certain that one of the other figures is Voldemort.

I wonder how many Horcrux's Voldemort has, I know the theoretical limit is seven but I'm not sure if Voldemort could make seven. Sid was one of the most powerful dark wizards to exist and he managed seven, so I will assume Voldemort did as well.

'Wait… I just realized the lump on Harry's soul was a lot like the one on Quirrell's… FUCK, is Harry a living Horcrux as well?' My train of thought is ruined as the realization dawned on me about Harry.

I cup my face in my hands as I try and think of ways to destroy a Horcrux. I don't think Sid's books ever said how to destroy a Horcrux, they only ever mentioned how to make them. That really doesn't help me. I know it would take something very powerful, any smart wizards can make it impervious to all magic.

As I'm thinking I hear footsteps coming down the stairs so I sit back up and look. Sis and Ana are coming down and Sis has new clothes on.

Sis looks at me as she is coming down "What has you so concerned? I don't think I am in that bad of condition."

I wave my hand "No, it's something else I just realized, something I don't know how to deal with just yet."

This time Ana speaks "Hoh? Why don't you tell us, maybe we can help you out?"

I smile, "I may have to get help but I'm not sure right now, I'll try and figure it out alone for now."

Sis seems curious "Sounds pretty serious if you're giving it so much thought, well if you need me I'm here."

Ana put's her hands together, "Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, you two can go sit in the dining room while I grab everything." Sis and I walk into the dining room and sit across from one another.

As I sit down I look at Sis with seriousness "Sis, can you tell me what lead up to this and how you ended up in Bulgaria?"

She gives a nod "Well, it all started with Moody."
