Break In and Departure

I sat there on the edge of my bed as my wings flapped slowly behind me, their movements causing the air in the room to fluctuate. Currently I had my eyes closed as I was conversing with my sis in my mind.

'Nephilim huh?'

[Yep.]

'I-is there any way of recoiling my wings or something so they don't cause issues?'

[You can retract them inside of yourself, yes.]

'Phew... That makes things a bit better.'

'How do I do it?

[Will the wings to retract, simple as that. It is an innate for a reason.]

'Oh, should have seen that coming.'

I frowned in concentration as I felt my wings quickly pull into my body before becoming black and white particles that quickly fled into my back, where the wings joined with my body.

'Thank god for that...'

[I wouldn't be saying things like that willy-nilly now...]

'What do you mean?'

The small beam of sunshine in the room increased in intensity for a moment, the smell of roses and lilacs entering into the room until the light returned to normal.

'What the fuck was that!?'

[Your little thanks was obviously sent to the 'Little Big Guy']

'You mean 'God', right?'

[Mhm, anyway, you should clean up the remnants of your pjs and get some proper clothes on. It'd probably be best if you left today.]

I stored all of the strips of my former pjs as I walked over to the cupboard and started to go through it searching for something at least reasonably comfortable. After a few minutes of searching I finally found an emerald coloured, brushed cotton dress that extended all the way down to just above my ankles. The top of the dress was very simple in design, completely designed for comfort and modesty; the dress showed very little skin. The dress even had light see-through fabric that swept down my arms and flared at the end.

'Hmm, it's nice... it's mine now.'

[That's nice, you look good.]

'Thanks sis, okay let's get out of this dreary room... I want to get out of this place.'

I opened the door to the room stepping outside only to notice multiple students conversing quietly with each other. As soon as they saw me however they instantly looked away. They are, embarrassed? How do I know that?

I continued to walk down the Stairway yawning lightly into my hand. I nodded politely as I passed the student who were crowded around the stairs, some of them returning it with a small smile whilst others lowered their heads a little further.

'Hoh, it must be my change in charisma. Some of them can't even look at me straight.'

[Well you have now fully unlocked Sin of Lust and your species, so, it's a normal reaction.]

'Anyway, they are unimportant to me, let's go on.'

As I continued down the staircase more and more people showed unique reactions to my presence, all the way until I reach the exit for the staircase. It was utter chaos, there were students gathering and whispering to each other, teachers walking through the halls trying to usher them all away. When I tried to focus in on the whispers of the students I heard them speaking quite clearly.

"Did you hear, the library got pillaged by followers of 'You-know-who'."

"Really?"

"That's crazy, does that mean 'You-know-who' is back? If so my dah won't like that very much, he may even pull me back home..."

I widened my eyes a little at the hushed conversation I'd just been able to eavesdrop on. I didn't stop walking however as I went up to one of the teachers.

'I even added credit to Harry's statement after the Cedric thing... Wow, I've outdone myself.'

[Heh.]

"Hello, what is going on? Why are there so many people around?"

I spoke to an imperious looking woman with a sharp jawline and ebony skin. She also wore an olive robe that had several pockets and stitches, these were only overshadowed by her witch hat that had shiny silver Astrological signs sown into it. She raised her eyebrows ever so minutely as I walked forward and asked her the question, her eyes momentarily narrowing at me until they eased somewhat.

'What's wrong with this woman, why is she changing her expression so much? Is she a Schizophrenia patient?'

"The library has undergone some damage due to an infiltration, that is all I can say at this moment, you would be better pressed asking question of Dumbledore."

'So they are trying to cover up the Death Eater thing. Interesting... She just passed off the burden of answering to her boss.'

[Yes, yes she did.]

"Thank you miss?"

"Professor Sinistra"

"Ah, thank you Professor Sinistra, I'll do just that."

I soon headed in the opposite direction of the library as I started to find my way to Dumbledore's office.

It took me a whole hour to finally figure out where to go in this maze-like castle with its constantly changing staircases and magical bullshitery. I digress, I now stand in front of the gargoyle that I recognised from the movies, the stone statue being quite detailed with intense gothic themes to its design.

'Cool entrance to be quite honest.'

[Despite his scheming disposition and incompetence as a headmaster, he still has style.]

'I agree.'

I stepped forward about to knock on the stone gargoyle to see if I could attract his attention, when off to the side Dumbledore abruptly apparated and strode towards me, his elder wand still drawn.

"Ah, Miss Emelia..." He stopped for a moment, looking at my face and body again, as if processing the changes that had occurred. "I see you have had a bit of a make-over this morning. Would you mind revealing where you were last night?"

I blinked my eyes several times at his compliments before narrowing them a moment later when he asked his question.

"I was in my room sleeping soundly... I was no where near the library, if you require an alibi you can ask the two girls who woke me up last night to confirm."

A wary and intense stare was what greeted the end of my words as I saw his index finger delicately stroking one side of his wand, as if in thought of what spells to use.

"Hmm, of course I will confer with the ladies about this however i will require you to submit to a truth potion, just so we can be sure."

"Huh? How about no? I don't need to submit to your potions and magic, plus, why do you need it? It's not like I could hide any books or whatever the person stole, you can check my room and you can easily see that I don't have any pockets or anything."

My ring on my right hand that was visible a second ago vanished from sight, only showing a bare finger to any observer. Luckily I was able to distract him with my tone and words. I stared straight into his eyes as he did the same to me, his face scrunching up in frustration slightly with my words before he gazed over my dress and fingers.

'Heh, he found nothing.'

[Of course he didn't, the MP usage is miniscule for just a single ring, it pretty much matches in with the surrounding ambient mana.]

'Crazy good ability.'

"Be that as it may, you will have to stay an extra few days to confirm that it wasn't you who stole the books and such, and that you didn't leave Voldemort's mark in the library."

"No, simply no... Here, you can check for the spell he puts on people. I know he leaves his mark, i saw some a rat-like person with a black mark on his arm when he was fighting Harry."

His eyebrows raised slightly before he raised his wand with a little flick and a white light trickled up my arms, revealing nothing.

"Hmm, it seems I must apologise, you are not a death eater..."

"Of course I'm not, I save Harry from the snake-nosed bastard, it's not likely I'd help him out."

"Yes, that now seems to be true. Well, what were you wanting to meet me for?"

'Hah, now comes the nerve-wracking part.'

"I was wanting to leave Hogwarts and go to Kamar-Taj."

Silence prevailed for several moments as his eyes widened further than I had ever seen him do so in the Harry Potter movies and since I came here. His wrinkles collected more and more on his forehead as he frowned whilst looking at me.

"Kamar-Taj, is it? What would be the need to go there?"

"Oh I want to meet with the sorceress supreme."

He lowered his wand as his left hand held the bridge of his nose. He looked utterly defeated in my opinion, his expression looked as if he had just eaten raw lemon, skin and all.

"I don't suppose i can convince you to wait a while?"

"No, not really..." 

I smiled innocently as he just rubbed his nose with his left hand more. A short time later he finally began settling down, I was completely bored as the silence had lasted for a while.

"Fine, you can go, do you need my help to get you there? Or can you get there yourself?"

"I'm fine, thanks."

I walked off down the corridor and then down the stairs that led from the 6th floor to the 7th. I skipped a little as I hopped down the stairs my thoughts racing with all of the possibilities that can open up to me.

'This is going to be fun!'
