Weavers of Light & Darkness
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Chapter 22
Sasporillas days ran together in a fog pain and hopelessness. Her only visitor was her chief tormentor, Billy Bombaduck.
He'd bring her food and leave it out of her reach. He'd hit er until she passed out and then spray her with water until she woke up. Then if his hands weren't to sore he'd hit her again.
"You know", Billy smiled as he looked into her bruised swollen eyes. "I'd avada kedavra you, but magic won't work in here."
Sasporilla started laughing and spit blood in Billys face. Her disdain was met with a hard back hand slap but she just wouldn't stop laughing at him.
Billy Bombaduck kicked the cell door open and cursed as he wiped Sasporillas bloody spit from his face. Four members of the inquisitorial squad guarded the cell door.
"No visitors." Billy Bombaduck said walking pat them.
"Like there ever is." Ian Grabbler sneered.
"No one even remember she exists." Kilmister laughed.
*******************************
Zac Zarcazzian sat in the Slytherin common room. No one talked to him and he liked it that way. He didn't need any friends, he just wanted to be left alone and not be hit anymore.
"Mr.Zarcazzian." Professor Snape said. "I need you to run something down to the dungeons for me."
Zac closed his book slowly. He knew Billy Bombaduck and his gang of thugs liked to hang out there. He stood up and Professor Snape handed him something wrapped in an old scroll. A leather tie held a card that read "To Miss Bucket."
"Who's that?' Zac asked.
********************************
The door to the cell swung open. Sasporilla didn't open her eyes believing it to be Billy Bombaduck returning to continue his sadistic fun.
"The cycle of the moon has past." Crinklesunpin said.
"So it is time for you to choose your discipline!" Crumplegoldjinn said.
"Once you make this choice you will be free of this place." Crinklesunpin said.
"And this pain." Crumplegoldjinn laughed.
"I made my choice the moment I returned from my final lesson." Sasporilla groaned. "Weaving seems like a wonderful magical art but I not what I choose."
"You must choose one or the other." Crinklesunpin spat.
"Those are the terms you agreed to!" Crumplegoldjinn yelled.
"I agreed to nothing." Sasporilla said. " I said I'd choose my magical path. Call it an art or discipline, whatever you want and my choice is to stick with my natural magic mixed with the witch craft I learn at Hogwarts. What you don't understand is we have both light and dark in us. It is our choices & how we choose to act that defines us."
The two weaver elves stood before her stunned. They looked at each other their mouths hanging open. They went over all conversations and realized the girl was right.
"You think you're very smart don't you?" Crinklesunpin asked.
"Yes." Sasporilla giggled and spat. "I do. Then what do you expect from a child of the Stilskin blood line?"
"She knows." Crumplegoldjinn gasped.
"Miss Daisy told me over Christmas when I mentioned you had approached me." Sasporilla laughed defiantly. "She's not happy with you."
"I imagine she isn't." Crinklesunpin smirked.
"Who cares what she thinks." Crumplegoldjinn sneered. "She's just a house elf."
"A most powerful house elf." Crinklesunpin smiled putting her hand on her loud mouth brother in hopes of silencing him.
"Miss Daisy says you have to offer me a second chance at making a decision." Sasporilla said. "Don't call me. I'll call you."
*********************************
Zac walked slowly down towards the dungeons. He was not excited to see the gang of thugs that awaited him. The same ones who used to beat him. They hadn't touched him since their return out of fear of Professor Snape.
Suddenly a hand grabbed Zac by the arm and pulled him into a small dark alchove. Another hand went over his mouth as he tried to scream. He saw a wand pointed at his forehead.
"Momento!" Karrys voice carried an echo in his head as memories of Sasporill Bucket returned to his mind.
Zac looked around at his friends. He looked at the scroll he carried and the name on it. He felt concerned and ashamed.
"I remember." Zac whispered.
"Good." Kay smiled. "Got your wand big guy?
Zac came around the corner carrying the scroll whistling loudly.
"Hey guys." Zac smiled waving the scroll. "I was sent to deliver this."
"What is it?" Kilmister asked.
"Didn't ask." Zac smiled. "A professor says do something you do it right?"
"Well." Ian smiled. "Looks like our cry baby is growing up a bit."
"No I'm still the same simple boy." Zac said as the others stepped in behind him wands drawn. "I just have great friends."
Sasporilla could hear the wooshes of spells as she lights flashing under the bottom of the cell door. The bangs and the thumps coming from outside said there was a grand battle taking place. Sassy started to laugh as the Outsiders burst through the door and into the cell.
"Oh my god Sassy." Karry gasped at the site of her friends bruised and swollen face.
"We have to free her." Korry said touching his wand to the thumb cuffs. "Alohamora!"
Nothing happened.
Gooseberry jumped onto Sassys tender shoulder making her wince in pain. The small monkey started pulling at the chains.
"The cells are a magic dead zone." Sasporilla said.
"Janey get." Janey said as she lifted Sasporilla with one arm as she ripped the chains from the wall with the other.
"We need to take her to the Infirmary." Kay said.
"No." Sasporilla insisted. "Umbridge will just put me back in here. Get me to the dark forest."
They took Sasporilla to the edge of the dark forest. A quick cast of Alohamora dropped the thumb manacles from Sassys aching broken thumbs. The outsiders used what healing spells they'd learned in the DA. they helped with some of the bruising, swelling and pain but were really only equal to a band aid and asprin.
"I almost forgot!" Zac said holding out the scroll to Sasporilla.
Sassy took the scroll addressed to her and untied the leather strips.
"What is it?" Karry asked.
"It's the Hogwarts land claim deed." Sasporilla said as she unrolled it, something slid out into her other hand. It was her wand!
"I want to thank you guys." Sasporilla said hugging them gently as she suspected some of her ribs were cracked or broken. "You risked it all to free me."
"What will you do now?" Zac asked.
"I'll go stay with the Centaur tribe for while so I won't be far. We need to help put all this right. We need to get that dictator out of here and when the time is right I'll let you know."
IT'S TIME TO END VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN!
As a survivor of abusive parents I encourage anyone who is being abused to get some help. If you know someone being abused get them help! It's time we all looked out for one another.
