No String's On Me

The room we entered into after that seemed never ending. And massive roots went out endlessly. As we approached we saw three women sitting and weaving a tapestry. "What question do you have for us child?" The youngest looking one asked. Never ceasing her movements to help weave.

Absently I move so I'm just in front of them. "Do you hate me grandmother's, for you surely must either hate me or trust me to bare so much I can not hope to succeed." I ask solemnly. Neither reaching for them nor moving away. The oldest looking one made a motion to come closer. So I moved again to be directly next to her.

"We do not hate you child. Nor did we intend for any of those horrible things. But we do not design the path we can affect it occasionally but not enough to spare you." She spoke softly. Then kissing the top of my head.

"We can not travel child. If any of them had come to visit us we could have warned them of the problem's. However most find us to strange for them." The middle aged one spat clearly angry. I got up and hugged her from behind. The elder woman chuckled.

"Why did you call us grandmother's?" The youngest asked curiosity showing on her face. I giggled slightly as I noted dad was also curious. "Well my friend Hermione say grandma's are the wisest. And even other deity's will come to you when they need advice. That means your the wisest. So you are grandmother's." Dad looked floored and the fates looked pleased. Suddenly I was passed between them as they pinched my cheeks cooed at me and placed caring kisses all over my face.

"The next time you find yourself back amongst us do visit us dear child." I agreed to visit with them as often as I can and keep them company.

Once in the father's room again I noticed a circular swirling mass standing just above the sun dail. Inside of it was two frozen images one of the potions class room, and the other the station from the end of the train. I could even make out the Malfoy's. I tried to swallow down passed my fear. But found the lump in my throat was to hard to swallow past. "Will it hurt?" I asked barley audible even to my own ears.

"No but you might be a bit dizzy after. Oh before I forget a gift. I've informed the goblins of what has happened. And secured their allegiance and aid. Severus you'll go through first and go directly to gringotts. Once there they will hand you a bracelet put it on. And take the one for Harry go directly to the station. I'll be watching and sending Harry through as soon as you find him. Make sure you both keep them on. Or the potions in your systems will override everything." He gave us both a hard stare. Then made a go motion to dad.

Dad gave me a kiss on top of my head then went through. I watched as his image started moving. Then there was a floor and the bright green flames then Diagon came into view. Next the steps of gringotts but the image was slowing. Until a goblin suddenly was in front of dad and was holding his wrist. The image then started to make fast again as the goblin handed him another. Suddenly the image changed to the station but from the other end. When I saw him head towards the Malfoy's I smiled. I could easily meet him next to them and utter something foul about dumbbells and start winning them over.

Next thing I knew was I was shoved through. I did feel dizzy but more so my mind felt foggy. I quickly moved away from the Weasley's and towards the Malfoy's. Once I got there dad quickly shoved the bracelet onto me. "There better?" He asked I nod but hold my head as I suddenly hurts. "It's the potions being worked out it'll pass. Better head back now I know you hate it but it keeps you alive till we can find a way to free you from dumbo." I scowl at him lightly and pout a bit.

"Your right I do hate it. I can't even be friends with the people who I want to. And honestly Ron snores like a mountain troll. Hell I can't even do as well as I could in classes." I pause to sigh still acting like I hadn't noticed the Malfoy's eavesdropping on us but I had. "Any chance the comes up to stop this even if I don't see it make sure I take the chance. I'm tired of pretending to be Gryffindor golden boy." With that I turn towards the Malfoy's as if to leave caught in a half wave. I act surprised eyes darting to dad then back. They are closer then I thought. I drop my arm. "How much?" I ask in as dangerous a voice as I can muster.
