Harry Potter: Hogsmeade

Alex looked up, when Chase's dead hand was pulled away from her. She felt a new wave of sorrow as his lifeless form was taken from her. A boy stood with Chase's body before her, his laughter was almost demonic. It sent a worthy chill up her spine, as she stood to face him. He was young, yet older than her, he spoke something of an... Anti-Chase? Well it's certainly hard to defeat something when you don't even know what to kill. She figured she might as well start with this cocky boy. Alex lunged towards him sending a fist towards his head... but he apparated away, just avoiding the possibly deadly blow.

Raven pulled a book off the shelf and opened it. It was hollow in the inside. It was more like a box disguised as a book. She opened it up and pulled out a map it included Hogsmeade, Hogwarts and a 50 mile radius around them. She then pulled out a crystal and begain to scry for Chases brother and mother. (bit like charmed, I know. but I dont know how else to find them 😛 ) Lamia watched but was startled when Pumpkin came up behind him. Raven laughed, for once. the first time in a while since all this stuff was going on."Thats my house elf..its okay." Raven asked pumpkin to bring some drinks while she tried to locate Chases family.

Axel thought to what he had just said and thought he might actually help his brother come back.
"I need someone to hate, after all."
He apparated to Anti-Chase' hideaway in the mountians.He called out to Anti and he came out.
"What do you want?" Anti asked with malice in his voice.
"My brother..." And with a display of amazing power, took down Anti with a punch to the stomach and elbow to the neck. He was knocked out. As the darkness melted away, he stirred again. He stood, same hight and weight, but had brown hair, black shirt and pants, a white overcoat decorated beautifully. He had white boats and the same face.
Chase was back(yes again...)
"Wow that was fast....Axel..."
"Head back. Your friend is waiting. And with that they both aparated away, Chase to Alex and Axel to Voldemort...

Ravens crystal hit the map and it looked to hit in a very dark ridged mountainous area.She looked at Lamia "I think I found his brother..."

Alex's expression had now turned blank, part of her process of forgetting. She never held on to things long, everything always seemed to have a dark end, starting with the dark end of her human life. She knelt once more by Chase's body, stroking his cheek one last time.

She stood up, her bangs in her eyes, and started to walk away from him. Then she heard a small pop as someone apparated to that spot, that smart-ass boy she thought. Alex turned on her heal, ready to fight this boy that had taunted her. But it wasn't the boy, it was no one expected. "Chase..." she whispered, her eyes lightening a little at the sight of him.

He stood, looking around.
"Hi, Alex...How are you?"
He walked over to her and hugged her. It was a stronger grip then normal.
"Are you okay? Hope I didn't scare you..."

Lamia looked at Raven "you really gonna kill him?". Raven looked at the map for a while then at Lamia "I dont think I can......its....not nice." Raven knew what she said sounded dumb but it was true. Chases brother didnt do anything to Raven to have her kill him. If she would kill anyone anytime soon it would Voldemort. Lamia smiled and said "Good, I was hoping you had more sense then that". Raven just smiled and sat back as Pumpkin returned with their drinks. "Thanks" raven said giving pumpkin a pat on her head.

Alex was more than happy to return the hug, "I can't believe you're alive." Then she visciously pushed him away and gave him a good hard smack across his face. "But how dare you make me think you were dead!"

He recoiled. He looked at her and laughed.
"SAme old Alex...I was dead...but now I'm back okay?"

"Obviously," she sneered at him. But her expression quickly changed back to a light happiness, "You have no idea how happy I am you're not dead... I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I knew you died and I couldn't help you." And that was an understatement. True, the feeling of devastation and lonliness had swept through her body before, but never at that intensity.

It was odd having feelings for a boy like him. Yes, she had ripped apart relationships in the past, this type of thing was definitely not new to her. But she had always lacked the sense of quilt... either that or the lack of conscience.

Alex looked back at Chase, "Now what's this about Raven trying to finish me off for good?" She asked with a hint of something other than curiousity and something more than hatred.

Chase nodded.
"Don't worry. I gott it. Come on, let's go."
And he headed to the house.

Once again, Arnold couldn't believe his eyes. Chase had come back to life..........again. He wordlessly followed them to wherever they were going. 'I gotta find a way to do that.' he thought to himself.

Alex followed him to a nearby house, one she hadn't even remembered seeing in the chaos. She admired him for attempting to help things, but she preferred to fight her own battles.

"Listen Chase, thanks for the offer, but you should know by now, I do my own dirty work. And yes, Raven is smart, but I doubt she has ever tried to kill someone already dead." Alex finished off with the sly remark and sensed that Raven was near.

"It's not impossible magic this time, Arnold. It's strength."
Chase said, reading his mind. He also said to Alex.
"I don't either of you to kill each other..."

"Oh and I suppose that you were the one who did all this. If I recall correctly you needed someone to help you. If they hadn't, you would've been lost forever. If you would've had enough strength in the first place, anti-chase wouldn't have even seen the face of this earth. I guess it's a good thing though, because if he hadn't have come, you would still be dead."

"And why is that? And yes, it wasn't my strength. It was...my brother's..."
Chase asked calmly.

Raven looked to Lamia and he looked back and said "something wrong?"...Raven said "Alex is close and Chase is with her...". Lamia gave a little laugh "no worries". Raven wonder why he was so relaxed but she just figured he had a reason to be.

"Raven and I, kill each other? Never." she said sarcastically. "There's someone else with her, too. Great." Alex walked up to the door and knocked politely, not particularly wanting this to be complete frenzy. She waited for whoever was inside to let her, Chase, and Arnold, wondering who the other person was, and why he was there.

Chase looked up.
"His name is Lamia...and I need to have a word with him..."
Chase walked past Alex and opened the door but stopped before he went inside.
"You guys...go ahead in. I have buisiness to attend to."
And with that, he walked off.

"Lamia? A boy? Interesting..." Alex said as Chase walked off. She made her way up the stairs, and followed the sound of voices to find the right room. She opened the door to where she saw Raven, a house elf, and who had to be Lamia. "Hello everyone," Alex said politely with a bit of mocking.
