Professor DeLanquar's Personal Chambers (located in Gryffind

The dancing forest nymph swept her arms around blissfully and said trilled some unknown phrase in Gaelic.
Then she repeated herself in English.
"I would if she was." The nymph found saying this very funny and laughed.

((continued from the Castle and Grounds topic... following the one-eyed fox))

The fox wiggled through a hidden panel into a cozy sitting room and transformed into a young man with blonde hair. He had a very handsome face that was marred slightly by a patch over his left eye. The other eye was a brilliant green.
Taking a vial from within his robe pocket, he searched the room for a moment. Finally he smiled and pulled a long light blonde hair from a cushion on the couch.
The hair dissolved into the liquid in the vial and he downed it in one gulp. The change was instantaneous. The young man was soon replaced with Eglantine DeLanquar.

Clearing his throat several times, he was able to mimic her softer, accented voice. Then glancing in the mirror to be certain all was well, he enlarged a shrunk cane and went to the door.
"Miss Casillas, do come in." he said, sounding exactly like the Transfiguration Professor.

((Oh yay! Does the young guy kidnap me?))

"I thought you said she wasn't in?" Helena said to the Nymph.

"Come on, Helena," Diana pulled her friend in the Professor's Chambers.

((Yes, he does...unless you decide he doesn't... either way will work))

The forest nymph shrugged her slender shoulders indifferently as "Eglantine" shut the door.
"Tea first." He said, mentally having a blast. It wasn't everyday that one got to pretend to be someone one wasn't. Using the cane, as he had seen his aunt do, Severus Rosier, made his way to a cabinet and began to make three cups of tea.
"Make yourselves comfortable." He called softly over his shoulder. This was going to be too easy he thought happily.

((Ha! Bet that Tea has poison!))

"Tea would be great!" Helena said.

"Oh, Professor," Diana said, on the other hand. "I'd rather not, I don't think tea would sit with me too well."

Diana was excited. Afterall, she's always wanted to become an animgus.

((good one...))

Severus bit his lip hard to keep from cursing. Bloody Gryffindor he thought, handing Helena the tea and keeping a cup for himself. His instructions were to get Diana Casillas, not her friend.
"Now, how much do you know about animagi?" he asked. His sharp mind was already formulating a new plan. Of course it was a pain in the side that his hands were shaking...

"Oh not much," Diana admitted. "I've only read about them.You're the first real animagus I've met, Professor."

"I think I've got an aunt who's an animagus," Helena said. "Yeah she's a bunny, not really that fantastic if you ask me."

"A bunny?" Severus asked softly, amused. He did one of his aunt's tiny little smiles and sighed.
"Well, then I suppose we will need to start with the basics."

((Helena should be getting very sleepy as soon as she drinks the tea...))

Diana nodded as Helena sipped her tea.

"Professor? I'm not quite sure how your animals work. I mean, out of all the animals in the world, why would you be a certain kind?" Diana asked.

"Whoa," Helena said, blinking her eyes repeatedly. "I feel so tired all of a sudden."

Diana grinned. "Is it because a lesson is about to start?"

"No... I didn't really sleep yesterday, I stayed in the Hospital Wing with you. The chairs there aren't really com---fortable." Helena said yawning. "Prof (she was consumed yet again by another yawn) we aren't going to do anything... important right now right? Just theory and the basic stuff?"

Severus opened his mouth to answer when the door clicked open and to his hidden horror the very woman he was impersonating limped in. Her eyes widened greatly, as she had rarely seen herself look back at her from her sitting room chair and she pulled out her wand.

((Helena and Diana will have to turn around to see the real Eglantine as the couch faces away from the door.))

At the sound of the door creaking open, Diana looked around. To her surprise it was Professor DeLanquar.

Helena on the other hand, had been watching the other Professor DeLanquar pull her wand out.

Of course, all of this happened in seconds.

Severus simply kept his seat and waited for his aunt to do something. But when it became obvious that Helena might hex him he pulled out his wand and pointed it at her.
"Stupify!" he cried.
At the same time as he shot the spell at Helena, Severus reached out and grabbed Diana ((am I allowed to do that?))

((If not I give you permission!))

Helena was stunned, literally. And before Diana could even reach for her wand, she was grabbed by the other Professor DeLanquar as the Professor DeLanquar watched.

((thank you.))

Severus gently yet forcefully put his wand against Diana's neck. "Move, Professor and she's dead." he warned, although he had no intention of killing her.

Eglantine stood frozen where she stopped upon seeing "herself" and glanced over at the stunned Helena.
"What do you want?" she asked, her voice much calmer than she felt.

"Simple." he said, sounding odd because of the polyjuice potion. Pointing his wand at his aunt he disarmed her with "Expelliarmus", slightly unnerved as he watched her wand sail out of reach. He had not used enough power though to knock her back.

"Lumos Solem!" Eglantine said releasing a powerful shot of bright light at Severus, wandlessly blinding him for a moment. She then accioed her wand and prepared to stupify her impersonator.

But Severus recovered from the blinding flash sooner than expected and his next curse his her full in the chest. "Sectumsempra" he cried and Eglantine fell, blood dripping from the slash across her chest.

Severus released Diana and accioed her wand.

((all the above happened very quickly))

(( Can kiara(my character) know what is Happening Now???? ))

"Professor!" Diana screamed once Professor DeLanquar was hit. The spell was unfamiliar but Diana could judge it was a pretty Dark spell, no normal spell could make a person bleed like that.

"What do you want?" Diana said bravely, once she was released. She was wandless, and he seemed a much more experienced duelist. She didn't see the point in trying to struggle. She was brave, not stupid.

((yeah (to Kiara)...or Eglantine will bleed to death...))

"Portus." he said, casting the spell on a box he had brought with him. "Come with me, Diana." Since he still looked and sounded like Professor DeLanquar, it was almost amusing the way he was acting. Without waiting for her reply, he grabbed her hand and they vanished away to the Rosier Mansion.

Eglantine finally stopped thrashing as the spell continued to slash at her as if with a sword and was able to whisper the counter curse to stop it. Bleeding badly from the several deep cuts across her neck, chest and abdomen, she summoned her Patronus and sent it to the Headmistress's chambers. The glowing cat disappeared through the wall and she tried to remain conscious.

((Uh... where is the Rosier Mansion?))

((We need a place um... I'll make one real quick...it'll be a new topic in the castle section, like under Great Hall and Quidditch Pitch...))

On her way to Eglantine's rooms she saw a Patronus it was Eglantine's and she needed help.

"Please let me be in time...."

The Portrait saw her coming and opened up.

Once inside she gasped, Eglantine was on the floor and bleeding heavily from the slashes that could only be casued by Sectumsempra.

Blinking away bad memories Kiara rushed to Eglantine's side and cast the counter curse.

"Offelission!!" healing most if not all the cuts.

"Someone...took her." Eglantine gasped, weak from the after affects of the dangerous curse. "I think it was my nephew." Not caring about her own injuries or weakness, she attempted to rise, "The other girl was stupefied."

Kiara's heart dropped...

"Who? Who? was taken?"

So much for a night of sleep ((yeah no kidding))

((Sorry!! I have to go to school, dang it)) be back later))

"Miss Casillas!" Eglantine stated, annoyed at the Headmistress. Despite the severe pain caused by her hitting the floor at full impact combined with the smaller cuts on her chest that had not healed, she knelt beside Helena.

"Rennervate" she whispered, using the last bit of her strength before leaning back against the couch.

((Okay...I'll wait for you))

(( I have an Idea on how to rescue her, it is why I didn't have Eglantine remove the dark mark))

Kiara's grip on her wand tighten.

"the child"

"He is going to regret kidnapping one of my students" looking over at Eglantine determined.

"I assume they went to your family house? Where Voldemort is?"

Eglantine nodded.
"I can take you there. But Lord Voldemort is stronger than he was last time I saw him." she trailed off.
"They cannot do anything to her unless they have the Excessum. Which I still have." Using her cane, which came wandlessly to her hand, Eglantine made her way over to a bookshelf and pulled out a muggle book called Sense and Sensibility. It was hollow inside and as her trembling fingers opened the cover, a soft white glow emitted from inside.

"Excessum." Eglantine almost purred, lifting a delicately carved vial from the book. It looked old and priceless, like some rare jewel.

Kiara went into deep thought and she remember something Severus Snape had told her before he died. He told her how the dark mark worked it basically sent a link to Voldemort which he used to summon his death eaters, but if channeled Correctly a death eater could teleport to wherever Voldemort was with out his summons or knowledge.

"hmm... do you think Voldemort would expect me to go with you? or do you think he would be surprised, if only for a second if I appeared beside him?"

she asked contemplating the plan forming in her head.
