The Black prophecy #31

Chapter 31: Randomness

Many tombstones (as usual on what you would see on a cemetery) where placed around the road on which Harry and Andromeda walked by, the younger man looked around trying to find some known last names.

- I don’t think you will find someone familiar Harry… The occupants of this cemetery are high status pureblood wizards… And my parents are no exception to that rule – Mumbled Andromeda before they stopped as they found a certain resting place that made it stand out as it was more like a small room in the middle of the cemetery.

Outside of this construction there were many snake figures, and the whole thing was colored in black, you could see two statues inside of the little room, a man and a woman that seemed dressed as if they were from ancient Greece, in the middle of the little room there was an statue of a black mamba, on the door there were three specified locks and also an inscription.

“Here it rests Cygnus and Druella Black, may their souls shine as bright as the stars as the Black family traditions state on their naming”

Andy gulped before she took the keys on the door that stopped burglars from entering, and inserted one by one, the “N” from Cissa first, the “B” from Bellatrix  after and the “A” that belonged to her at the end.

- We’re not going to research on their coffins right? – Asked Harry a little worried, he wasn’t in the mood to touch dead bodies.

- Don’t worry, we won’t do anything weird, if it makes you feel better, you should wait outside – Andy smiled at him.

It’s not like Harry was scared, but he needed to stay behind to check in case anyone wanted to hurt them.

Inside the little room where her parents rested, Andy couldn’t help but feel a little intimidated, the man which she had a crush on was outside checking on her while she explored her parents’ resting place, she knew that if her parents had meet Harry they would have hated him at first sight, yes, that was the way they would have acted.

The worst thing of all is that, knowing that they would be angry made her feel happy, she was always the rebel one.

- Hello mom… Dad, I hope you don’t mind me bringing your future son in law here, he will become the husband of your daughters, please don’t get angry – Andy laughed before she looked behind to see if Harry had heard her.

Under her parents statues, there were again three locks on each of them, so Andy, didn’t waste time and inserted her keys on her father’s one and seconds later she did the same with her mother’s one.

When she finished something happened, something what would have scared the crap out of anyone that didn’t know the way this thing worked, the statues started to move and a light came from their eyes.

“Insert the keys, they will give you the clue for what you’re searching for” That’s what her sisters said and that’s what’s happening right now.

The statues moved at a perfect synchrony and stopped at the same time when their lights finally landed on the statue of the black mamba that was on the middle of the room.

The statue of the snake moved for a while until the stone finally broke, revealing a real life snake that suddenly burned and turned into a paper, Andy ran and caught the paper, it was a map.

- Hey Andy… Is everything okay inside? – Asked the younger man.

- Yes Harry, everything’s okay, don’t worry – Andy told him and he smiled.

Andy took the map and got out of the little room, she closed the doors again and locked them with the gold keys and the statues got back to normality, Andy gulped as both of the statues looked at her with glowing eyes before they stopped.

Andy couldn’t help but look at them a little sacred, her issues with her parents where still present to this day, she was immersed on those thoughts until she felt Harry’s hand on her shoulders.

Andy looked at him a little scared, he hugged her without hesitating.

- It’s okay Andy… They won’t hurt you, they’re gone – Whispered Harry and Andy nodded trying to suppress the tears that threatened to fall.

Harry knew that she always had problems to deal with things related to her parents, they disowned her and she always regretted doing that to make her wish come true, to love the man that she loved during that time.

Harry took her by her arm and quickly got her outside of the cemetery, once they were outside Andy took out the map and looked around.

- So, it was just a map uh, Bella and Cissa took care of this right? Why they wouldn’t just let you know where to find the house? – Asked Harry a little annoyed.

- It’s not that simple Harry, the house is enchanted to move around randoml places, my sisters didn’t want to deal with that house anymore but if they knew where it was hiding, they would have been tempted to come back – Harry nodded – That’s why they used this charm to make it disappear to random places, and this map always shows the exact location, look! – Andy showed him the map and the map started to change.

Harry was surprised, this was high level magic and creative way to use a charm.

- Every forty eight hours the location will change, according to my sisters they used a lot of energy to maintain this charm active for a long time, they couldn’t use magic for a week! – Andy said and Harry nodded.

- I always thought that they were awesome, they are just confirming it again! – He said in awe due to the demonstration of their powers.

Many people underestimated the Black sisters due to their great personality and beauty, but many of them seem to forget that they were on the Slytherin house.

- Where is the house right now? – Asked Harry curious.

Andy checked out the map and nodded.

- Oh no… It seems like it’s in Germany… Leipzig to be more precise – Andy sighed.

This was ruining their plans as they couldn’t apparate away to another country, that’s something forbidden.

- Oh god… Now we have to request two international portkeys, one to France and another to Germany… That will take us almost a week and by the time we get it the house will change its location again – Andy sighed.

Harry looked at the map, Leipzig a great location, the place of death of Johann Sebastian Bach.

- Is there a way to stop the charm that makes the house disappear? – Asked Harry with a hint of curiosity.

- We could destroy the base object that they used as some kind of controller… But we need to be close to the house to do it – Harry nodded before he started to think again.

Andy looked desperate right now, any idea would be great to make her feel better.

- What if… What if we fly directly to Germany? – Asked Harry with a huge grin on his face.

That grin of his that made many girls fall for him and the one he always had when he was planning pranks or something like that with his godfather.

But he had a point.

- If we fly to Germany, we don’t have to worry about portkeys, it would be a slow journey but we won’t have to deal with the bureaucracy and all that stuff – Mumbled Andy – Let’s see with the average speed of a broom between one hundred and eighty and two hundred twenty five kilometers per hour… And the distance between England and Germany at most is seven hundred and fifty kilometers, if we assume that there wouldn’t be rain then and the wind will favor us then… We can make it, it’s not even twelve o’clock – Andy mumbled doing some calculations – I think we can get before the twilight to Germany, once we reach their magical side, we just have to ask for someone to apparate us to Leipzig – Andy smiled – Great idea Harry, we’ll do that, let’s just take some things from home – Harry nodded before he took her hand.

Andy was too motivated to care about Harry’s touch right now, but she liked the way it felt, seconds later they were back home, Andy and Bella were surprised to see them back so quickly, they were washing the dishes but if they came minutes earlier they would have found them fucking on the couch, the youngest sisters looked at each other a little embarrassed.

- Andy… Harry, have you already found what you wanted? – Asked Cissy surprised.

- I wish Cissa… But we have to make a trip to another country – Narcissa nodded at Harry’s comment.

- Where did the house appear? – Asked Bella with a raised brow.

- Germany, Leipzig to be more precise – Answered Andy and Bella smiled uncomfortably.

- Oops, sorry, that’s my fault… The house will appear on the places on which I or Cissy have already visited… I went to Leipzig with your father… We had an undercover mission there – Said Bella as she looked at the younger man.

- Thanks sister… I seriously thank you – Andy complained before she started to get ready some stuff like food and water on a backpack.

- Wait Andy… It’s not that bad, now that we know how the charm works, you can also tell us more about the locations, so we don’t search randomly on the city – Andy nodded – Bella, is there a place or places that you visited there a lot? – Bella nodded.

She told them about a church where the mission was held most of the time, minutes later Andy and Harry were ready to go.

- I don’t know how much time we will take, I think that it won’t take us more than a day – Said Andy with a serious expression.

- Wait sister… - Bella stopped her before she brought something from her room.

The middle Black sister came with a collar that belonged to their mother, the collar had a big triangle made with smaller triangles of obsidian.

- You know how much mom loved this collar, it represents the balance between three forces… Us, and with the detail of a black stone – Andy took the collar.

- Destroy it and if you can… Destroy that house – Bella told them  before she hugged her older sister and Harry, Cissa did the same.

Harry got inside his room to bring his broom and some other gear.

- Shall we go now Andy? – Asked calmly the younger man.

- Yes Harry, let’s go – Harry and Andy said their farewells.

- Good luck you two – Cissa told them and they nodded.

They finally managed to get out of the house, they knew that they had to be quick, Andy’s sisters were too attached to them and they hated when they had to be apart.

Andy just smiled before she placed some goggles over her eyes, Harry did the same.

- Seriously, I wish I could use my broom, but I’m not as fast as you Harry, we need to put the speed above everything else, even my fear to fly – Andy said a little disappointed on herself.

- Don’t worry Andy… I’ll take us to Germany and back here safely – Harry gave her his thumbs up – Just tip my shoulder when you want us to come down, I just want to ask you a favor… Don’t tip my shoulder when we reach the English channel, as I wouldn’t like to lose the sense of direction, I just want to go straightforward, until we reach the land again – Andy nodded at Harry’s request.

Andy smiled before she saw Harry already mounting on his broom while Andy placed her backpack, it wasn’t that big, it will give them enough to survive the travel until they reach Germany, they will enjoy the food once they got there.

- I’m ready Andy – Said Harry and she nodded.

Andy sat behind Harry, using magic, the younger man brought some kind of belt, but it was longer, he handled it to Andy and she used this thing to join their bodies, they were as close as they could be, Harry had not doubts about his abilities, but he knew about Andy’s insecurity when it came to brooms and flying.

- Don’t worry Andy, as long as we’re together nothing will happen to you – He promised her and she nodded – Let’s go then! – Harry said before he kicked his broom and his broom started to gain height.

They were flying slowly, Harry wanted for Andy to get used to it, little by little he increased the speed until they finally reached the highest possible speed for Harry, they didn’t know the exact speed, but it was more than two hundred kilometers per hour.

Andy at first was scared, her fear of heights was obvious, but judging by the way she was screaming right now as they flew over the English channel was saying other things right now, it wasn’t a painful scream it was more like an exciting scream.

She didn’t know how to explain it, she hadn’t felt like this before, all this excitement, the emotions that she was feeling right now… She hadn’t felt alive for so long, It seemed like her life reached a point where she was stuck and nothing made her feel alive anymore.

But this experience, it was something unexpected, but it was welcomed, her fears long gone as she hugged Harry’s waist and her face was buried on his back, if heaven didn’t feel like this, then she didn’t want to go.

Some hours later and they were close to center Europe, seeing the way the flowers looked below them, Andy knew that they were on the Netherlands, she tipped Harry’s shoulder and little by little they descended until they found a three in the middle of the tulip fields that had many colors, there was also a river and a mill in the middle of the tulips.

- It feels good to get back to the land – Harry smiled before he rested on the ground as if he was trying to do an angel but instead of doing it with snow, it was with the green herbs that were growing.

Andy just laughed and stretched her body before she got out some magic instant food, they looked like a uniform mass, but once Andy applied a charm on it, they got the form of a sandwich.

Andy and Harry shared the food with smiles on their faces, the brilliant sun, the river, and beautiful tulips made of this an unique scenery, an over all, for Andy, the beautiful sight of Harry’s smile while he chewed his sandwich was the most interesting thing her eyes could see right now.
