#13 Romeo and Juliet

Tiara,
I need you to stay in Hogwarts over the holidays. Don't come home for Christmas. I know, I'm asking for a lot, but just trust me with this.
I love you so much,
Mom

Pippin brought me mother's letter two days before I would've returned back home. And since then I was brooding over the reason, the hints between the lines.

But even after I could repeat the words into my head, could see her handwriting in my mind without the letter in front of me, I only had conspiracies. Not more as theories.

Harry, Ron and El offered me to stay with Sirius, the Weasley's and the rest of the Order in the burrow, but after I told El everything that night in the library, I had work to do.

The Ravenclaw and I made a plan, a proper one right after she grilled me to the bone about Blaise's confession and Draco's outburst on the astronomy tower which I really tried to keep for myself.

My burning cheeks were given me away. Not only as she asked me about how the evening with Blaise went. But also as she questioned me what Snape and Draco meant with ‚staying away'.

Funny considering that one of Draco's reasons was, that I loved Blaise.

But after she almost suffocated on her pride that she always knew Blaise had a crush on me and her annoyance for Draco being Draco, she assured I should do some digging.

Of course, I already did. Hermione and I rolled through books whenever we had the time between the studying. But we hadn't found something.

It wasn't as if there was a book with the title ‚Young witch can do magic without a wand, but gets serious exhaustion and bleedings from it.' or ‚prophecy number 112, explanation and clarification'.

There wasn't even a hint.

But spending the holidays at Hogwarts had one clear advantage - the castle was almost empty, quiet and the perfect opportunity to focus on something without the distraction of classes and studying. I could just concentrate on books and books for hours.

On Christmas day I found an article about wandless magic in the restricted section. Since even Filch allowed himself some free days, I could manage to sneak in without being seen.

As it turned out was the ability to cause magic without a wand nothing which couldn't get taught. It was difficult and often represented in children before they get proper magical lessons. Like I did with the robe of Maribel and mine house teacher. This version of magic was difficult, especially hard to control. But still I was relieved.

So this couldn't be the only reason the Dark Lord was so eager about getting me into his rows.

You need to remember who she is. You know what he's trying to do with her.

A Fox? A Merlin descendant?

It was frustrating to struggle around so many books in the attempt to find something, anything, while I didn't even know what I was searching for. So I spent hours over hours on pages I wasn't really reading.

It was for El coming to my rescue again with her owl swooping in late into the afternoon.

History Area, „the Sacred Twenty-Nine / History and economy"
Thank me later, Merry Christmas
El

But even though I was truly wondering why a book over the sacred twenty-nine was important enough for El to bother sending an owl, I looked for the book directly. And managed to find the document since it was bigger than my head. And the page El was meaning in her letter.
