Child of the Gods

Chapter IV

 

The weeks past Harry got out of the Hospital and classes went as normal, it was Friday last day of classes until the weekend with one class left Hagrid's, he was talking about the three headed dog, using Fluffy to represent the animal. He talked about how dangerous they are, don't sneak up on them be very careful, Robin wasn't paying much attention Cerberus or Cid for short was her best friend. He seemed big and mean but he was real softy once you got to know him, she knew everything she needed to know about the breed, but the rustling in the bushes interested her more, she stood in the very back her eyes kept moving to bushes then to Hagrid, she tried to pretend to pay attention. Unexpectedly a wounded unicorn walked out she had a thorn jabbed into the upper part of her left leg every-time she walked the thorn would be pushed deeper into the wound drawing blood. Her eyes were wide, filled with pain, Hagrid held up his hands slowly starting to approach the creature but when he got near the unicorn, she would act up, thrashing its head around those horns are sharp. And the unicorn wouldn't let Hagrid get near, the unicorn looked at the students then started limping it's way over to them each time the thorn drawing more blood the students moved away making a path for her. Harry tried to quickly move in and pull out the thorn put the thrashing head of the unicorn stopped him, all the students moved until the pathway led to Robin, she stood there calmly, her eyes in slits, completely relaxed. The Unicorn stopped half an arms length away from Robin she reached out to touch it.

 

“Stop Rob…..” Hagrid stopped in mid sentence when Robin touched the wounded animal and she didn't react she remained perfectly calm,

“Easy now,” Robin moved over to the thorn, keeping her hand on her neck and quietly whispering to her, she grabbed the thorn firmly then whispered

 

“This will hurt.” She swiftly pulled out the thorn and threw it to the ground, the unicorn looked back and nipped her lips on Robin's ear affectionately, Robin smiled at her, pulling out her handkerchief rapping it around the wound

 

“There you go,” she smiled

 

“Feh, what's so important about that?” asked the jealous Malfoy, the unicorn glared at Malfoy angrily, Malfoy shifted his weight uncomfortably then turned and left in a huff.

 

“OUCH!” cried Malfoy; he turned on his heels to see who had poked him in the rear, and the unicorn was trotting around happily

 

“Stupid horse,” Malfoy grumbled turning to leave again he couldn't fight a horse, how would that look,

 

“OUCH!” he cried again, this time the unicorn was jumping around

 

“Stop doing that!” he yelled at the unicorn, turning bright red

 

“She can't understand you Malfoy, it's a unicorn.” Laughed Hermione, everyone erupted in a huge laugh even Hagrid, the unicorn lowered his head aiming his horn right at Malfoy, Malfoy got all nervous and took off in a real hurry. The unicorn trotted happily up to Robin again with a smile on her lips, Robin petted her face between her eyes, she put her head around Robin's shoulder, and she smiled hugging her neck

 

“Anytime,” she whispered, the unicorn backed away rearing on her hind legs the sun twinkling off her horn, she took off into the forest, everyone stared at Robin mouths open,

 

“Well this is disturbing,” she mumbled

 

“What, never seen a unicorn before?” she asked fiercely, everyone just continued to stare, Robin rolled her eyes walking away to wash off the unicorns blood, even though she was neglecting to mention her father being a god but she wasn't going to change who she is, for as long as she could remember whenever she was on earth, animals would seek her out looking for help and she always gladly gave it even though she didn't understand real words from them she knew in her heart exactly what was wrong, Robin didn't know where she got the talent from no one on her fathers side could do it, so she always pretended she got it from her mother

 

`So I'll be a little weird I can handle that, for all I know this gift of understanding animals could have come from my mother at least I hope it does.' Robin thought as she dried her hands

 

“So how are you going to explain this to the humans?” asked Ares appearing next to her in a flash a red light; he wore all leather, black tunic, pants, and tall boots. His sword was mounted on his back the sheath made of black leather, its handle pure black bone, with red skulls, two leather wristbands with inch and half-long sliver spikes, short raven black hair with piercing black eyes, and a goatee

 

“I'll think of something, anyway what are you doing here?” Robin asked changing the subject

 

“Oh come on Robin can't a brother visit his favourite sister?” Ares asked all innocent like

 

“Normally yes, but normal doesn't include the god of war.” She smartly remarked

 

“Fine I came to see if I can help remove any pest problem you might be having.” Ares said, Robin raised an eyebrow to Ares explanation

 

“Ah Huh, and does this fixing have to deal with the dismembering of certain troublesome students?” Robin asked

 

“Well, if you are having problems with a particular person in this school and happen tell me about it, I could arrange a horrible accident, for this person to encounter.” Robin groaned, messing up her hair

 

“I knew it; Dad set you up to this didn't he?” Robin more ordered then asked

 

“Hey look the old man has nothing to do with this.” Ares raised up his hands defending himself

 

“Look Ares you can't go around killing my school mates, it's not done here.” Ares crossed his arms pouting

 

“But I'm the god of war,” he pouted

 

“Then go find a war,” said Robin shooing him off, he left and she leaned on the sink

 

“I wonder whose next.” She mumbled, Robin's show with the unicorn was already the talk of the school, everywhere she went people were pointed and whispering, so she hid in the library in one of its many stacks until it was time for bed she was ready to spend the entire weekend here if it meant shaking the questions of curious students.

 

It was September 23, a Saturday beautiful day bit cold being September. It was the early morning and the students were getting ready to head off to Hogsmade, but unfortunately, for Harry he wasn't allowed to go yet just encase Voldemort's minions were still looking for revenge, Harry watched the other students from the clock tower, and Malfoy looked up at him smugly then turned to follow the other students. Harry left angry all his life the Dursleys' denied him everything, and now because of Voldemort he was denied things in the wizard world too. He walked down the hall angry but stopped when he saw Robin walking down reading a book.

 

“Robin, why didn't you go to Hogsmade with the others?” Harry asked as she past him

 

“Didn't feel like it, why didn't you go?” she asked

 

“I'm not allowed yet, because of what happened on the train.” Harry explained

 

“But that's not your fault,”

 

“No but the wizard that attacked me might work for Voldemort, so I have to stay here until the threat is gone.” Harry explained, he couldn't explain it but he trusted her almost as much as Ron and Hermione

 

“Bummer,” Robin and Harry walked threw the halls talking on a verity of subjects, the Dursley's mostly

 

“So why did you transfer to Hogwarts?” Harry asked

 

“I wanted a new start, back in my old school everyone knows me, by the fame of my father, and wants to be my friend to say their friends with the daughter of Zeus.” Robin stopped herself she couldn't believe she told him so much what was she thinking

 

“So he's a famous wizard?” Harry asked Robin couldn't tell if he figure out who her father was had no idea

 

“Something like that.” Said Robin still baffled by Harry and her slip up

 

“So why do you think Voldemort sent is minions after you?” Robin asked, Harry shrugged

 

“Revenge,” Robin looked at him puzzled

 

“For what,” she asked, Harry looked at her shocked even if she didn't hear of him he couldn't believe she never heard of Voldemort

 

“You're kidding, you've never heard of Voldemort?” Harry asked astounded

 

“Oh I've heard of him believe me on that part, I don't know much though, my father says he was cursed though.” Said Robin

 

“I never heard that, what's the curse?” Harry asked

 

“He was cursed with mezza morte, it's a seriously mean curse, the poor soul is neither dead or alive he's stuck on the earth never able to die forced to wonder the earth forever never able to feel the warmth of the sun or any kind of comfort, he is always hungry but can never eat or die from hunger; mezza morteis a curse of the gods Voldemort must have pissed off the Gods real good for that curse to be placed on him.” said Robin,

 

“Is there a way to break that curse?” Harry asked

 

“Probably, all curses have someway to break them; I don't know what the mezza morte is though.” Robin explained

 

“Hey Robin,”

 

“Yea,”

 

“Hermione was telling about this wizard who control the weather, he had a cursed by Zeus, Wolf's curse never able to break it, unless he dose as act of great courage and mercy with no personal gain of his own, what does that meen, what act of great courage and mercy?” Harry asked he figured the Wolf's curse was the curse of the werewolf and maybe he could help professor Lupin break it.

 

“Well you know that it's basically the Werewolf's curse, well when the cursed is transformed he or she must perform the act, like going to save someone when it might kill him and then show mercy to the person who is responsible for putting the person in danger mercy, but he has to be real danger it can't be staged, it wont work I meen like real danger.” Robin explained she knew a lot about curses more then someone her age should know

 

“Huh, I wonder what Voldemort did to make Zeus curse him?” Harry wondered allowed

 

“Now that is easy, Voldemort killed Zeus's mortal lover,” she said, Robin almost kicked herself why was she so honest and forward with Harry this wasn't like her, she wondered if he'd placed at spell on her

 

“For someone who claims not to know a lot about Voldemort you seemed to know a lot,” commented Harry in a suspicions tone

 

“I don't know a lot about him, I know a lot about Zeus.” Robin said, the call of a owl echoed threw the hall Robin and Harry looked behind them an large reddish carrying a present the owl dropped the gift in Robin's hands, the rapping paper was blood red with red ribbon with four small silver skulls hanging off the ends of the ribbon's, Robin looked at the medium sized package

 

“Who sent you that?” asked Harry looking at the package disgusted

 

“My brother Ares,” she said in an unsure tone

 

“Aren't you going to open it?”

 

“I'm worried, the last time he scent me a gift for my birthday last year he killed a creepy wizard that attacked me that year,” said Robin, she kicked herself again how could she say that now she knew she was cursed or something

 

`I'm going to have to have a chat with Aletheia pretty soon here.' Thought Robin,

 

“Your brother killed someone?” Asked Harry astonished

 

“Yes,” Robin slowly pulled the ribbon and opened the box and let out a sigh of relief she pulled out a silver and gold Arabian dagger, Robin leaned against the wall laughing

 

“So how come you never told me it was your birthday?” Harry asked in a mischievous tone. Robin narrowed her eyes and gave a mischievous smile

 

“It isn't, next week.” She smiled; Harry laughed shaking his head, unknown to the two laughing children but back down the hall someone was watching them with curious eyes, a smile crept across his face as the two children disappeared down the hall,

 

`How interesting,' thought the figure as he continued down an opposite hall

 

“Huh,” Harry looked over at Robin she was reading the card that came with the give it was blood red with a skull on the front

 

“What's the card say?” Harry asked

 

“Robin, I know this will be helpful in your new school with troublesome students, may your enemies…

 

Happy Birthday,

Love Ares.” Robin had the strangest look on her face as she closed the card; Robin didn't want to finished the card Ares was too colourful when it came to his gifts and birthday cards

 

“Remind me not to get your brother angry,” remarked Harry

 

“That would be a good idea; I swear normalcy is not a factor in my family.” Robin commented Harry laughed; Harry loved Robin's realistic humour, her intelligence, and her laugh it was like listening to the first birds of spring after a cold winter

 

“How come that Unicorn wouldn't let anyone but you touch him?” Harry asked looked over to Robin she looked back and smiled

 

“I don't know really, for as far back as I can remember animals have always come to me when they need help, my dad says they are drown to my kind soul, and by the way the unicorn was a she not a he.” Harry moved his head back in surprise

 

“Can you talk to them?” Harry asked fascinated Harry knew people could some animals like snakes, and cats but never all of them

 

“Sort of, we don't speak in words I just know what they need to tell me.” Robin smiled, Harry and Robin walked threw the halls they reached the hall that over looked the courtyard and surprisingly Malfoy and his lackeys were in the courtyard laughing loudly amongst each other they hadn't noticed Harry or Robin they were about to move on before Malfoy loudly said,

 

“My father says that everyone that was killed by Lord Voldemort, deserved to die because they were to weak and didn't deserve to live in the new world Lord Voldemort was creating, and I agree with him they were all pathetic muggle lovers anyway.” Robin fisted her hand so hard it forced blood from her hand tears formed in her eyes as she stared down Malfoy then she saw a small stone sitting on the windowsill Robin picked up the innocent looking stone with her bloody hand, she knew with one swift throw with this stone, it could be logged inside Malfoy head making him pay for what he said with one throw and simple throw could make all her pain go away with one throw she reasoned with her self as she looked at the stone.
