Heat of the Flame

[chal]

Sophia stared at the blackness in front of her eyes. She could see a little since her eyes adjusted to the darkness, aside form the random dot from the incense. She felt her checks turn crimson colored. Her face felt hot and her stomach turned. She didn't want to say anything. She felt something in her stomach and her head was turning ever which way. Her gaze fell and her vision got blurry. She opened her mouth to tell Gyan why she yelp but she felt something in her mouth.

She leaned over and vomited in front of her. She grabbed her head tightly after, it was spinning. She fell backwards and black out. She hit her head really hard and a thud echoed into the room.

[Gyan Salamanece]

(oh. beautiful.)

Gyan wretched. The stench of vomit was the only thing that could turn his stomach. Gyan wiped it a way with a muttered "Scourgify" and revived Sophia with an "Ennervate"

[chal]

Sophia took a sharp breath in gasping lightly as she tried to catch her breath quickly. Her vision looked blurry but it was only because it was so dark. She felt her stomach turn again, and something in her throat, she didn't throw up though. She bit down on her lip hard. The pain bellowed from her lip as a tear trickled down her check.

She let out a light moan as blood trickled down her chin. Her tooth broke the skin. Her tongue twirled around in her mouth and the taste of blood illuminated in her mouth. She felt her thoughts race and stop at once. She was too confused to say anything, rather, she didn't know what to say. She bowed her head still biting hard on her lip allowing the blood trickle down her chin and fill her taste buds with the taste of it.

[Gyan Salamanece]

"Incendio" He said, and the fire roared back to life, flooding the room with light. "You know Sophia, if you really diddn't want to tell me that bad, You could have said so."

[chal]

Sophia flinched at the light then shook her head. She let go of her lip and whipped the blood from her chin. She took a deep breath in and exhaled it sharply.

"Sorry. I am trying to..." She shook her head more. "The people influenced by the dark lord are free right?" She spoke with interest in her tone.

[Gyan Salamanece]

"For the most part. If he follows the old way of magical tatoos, than the people with them might still be in contact with him. I hope that's noone at this school" He said. He knew how to remove the magical connection in said tatoo, but he was running very low on the potion ingrediant.

[chal]

Sophia sighed then stood up and moved her long sleeve shirt up showing Gyan the small dime size Dragon right under her elbow on the inside. She felt a tear drop on her arm and said only one painful word. It was all she could muster. "Help." Her voice cracked a little.

[Gyan Salamanece]

Gyan's eyebrows raised. His anger began to bubble. "You joined him?" He asked a little loudly. He had a vial of dragon tears, they would take off the magical connection, but he was angry with Sophia at the moment. "Sophia, why did you join him?"

[chal]

Sophia stared at him with her lip trembling. She dropped to her knees and wanted to cry. She tried to muster the breath to answer but she couldn't. She started to breath heavily and sharply.

"I didn't mean to!" She bellowed at him. She started shaking a little. "I didn't know what I was saying." Her voice cracked and she let out a few sobs but she didn't cry.

[Gyan Salamanece]

Gyan closed his eyes and breathed for a moment. He knew he musnt let his anger out, he had to controll it.

As it bubbled down, Gyan spoke "Sophia, sorry I yelled at you. I'm just really testy when it comes to dark wizards and such." He explained. Gyan reached into his bag beside of the chair and opened a wooden box. He pulled out a vial of a clear substance that looked like hardened crystal. "Come here" he said.

[chal]

Sophia stepped closer a little hesitant. "Will this hurt?" She was kind of frightened of pain.

[Gyan Salamanece]

"It will if it works." He said. Gyan grabbed Sophias wrist and turned her arm to show the dragon. Gyan gently tapped the vial and a small crystal fell out of it.

The crystal fell almost as in no gravity. When it got to within an inch of the tatto, it sped up to about two hundred miles per hour and jabbed itself into the tatto. Blood began to draw from the would, but Gyan diddn't dare let go of her wrist. The would was opening now, and was now a gaping hole where the tatoo had been. Gyan stuck the tip of his wand into the hole and began muttering.

A small flash of blue light, and the bleeding stopped. The hole was gone, as was the tatoo.

"Is there anyone else?" Gyan asked.

[chal]

Sophia flinched when he grabbed her wrist. She was scared. She closed her eyes then let out a scream. She clenched her teeth together and tried to pull her arm away. She quickly found out it was no use since he wouldn't let go. She bit her lip really hard trying to distract the pain a little. She opened her eyes and stared at the gaping whole in her arm then watched it close up. She started to breath deeply wondering what to do.

She dropped to her knees with her wrist dangling in Gyan's hand. She gasped for air then blurted out a name not meaning to. "Maria Farmer! I think Johana too I can't remember on her." She hung her head lower and felt tears creep up to the brim and pour out of her eyes.

[Gyan Salamanece]

Gyan moved his wand over the wound and any pain it was causeing seaced. It healed up, and the tatto was gone. So was the magical connection.

"We need to get to the Hufflepuff common room and get rid of the tatoo on Maria. We need Fork."
