Weavers of Light & Darkness
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Chapter 7
Sasporilla slept late after all of yesterdays excitement. By the time she got downstairs for breakfast a ruckus had started in the great hall. Professor Umbridge was standing with a group of Prefects, Head Boys and Head girls from all houses, at the end of the tables.
"What's going on?" Sasporilla asked Karry.
"They've just announced that anyone wanting to sit with people of other houses can sit at the end sections of the tables beyond those signs."
Sasporilla looked over and saw the signs read "OUTSIDERS." Some agreed, Some complained, some just looked down and minded their own business. Sasporilla Bucket would do neither
"That bloody does it!" Sasporilla said standing up and walking over to Zac at the Slytherin table.
"Want to have breakfast with me?" Sasporilla smiled.
"I don't want to cause trouble." Zac looked away ashamed.
"Ya ASS-porilla", Billy Bombaduck sneered. "Leave my Slytherin brothers alone. No one wants you here."
Sasporilla stood there stunned for a moment. Then a voice from behind yelled. "Oy Sassy!" Kay Curtiss yelled. "Come sit with us!"
Kay was sitting at the end of the Ravenclaw table with Karry, and Korry. Kandy remained with her Ravenclaw friends making quiet comments and giggling. Saspirilla went over and sat beside Karry. "Thank you for the invitation." Sasporilla said.
"My pleasure." Kay Curtiss smiled and laughed. "Bloody trouble maker."
A full breakfast spread appeared on the table before them. Hot and fresh as the moment it was cooked. The small group laughed and talked as they tucked in.
"Ahem." Professor Umbridge cleared her throat as she moved to the end of the Ravenclaw table. "Miss Bucket what do you think you're doing?"
"Having breakfast with my friends." Sasporilla said wide eyed and innocently.
"But last night you and this girl were ready to tear each other apart over a boy?" Professor Umbridge smiled.
"Oh that." Sasporilla said. "That was just a misunderstanding."
"Yes we're fine now." Karry smiled taking a bite of toast.
"Mind if I slide in." George Weasly asked with a wink and a grin at Kay.
"Ya sure." Kay smiled and curled her bangs nervously as she bit her lower lip.
"So then." Deloris Umbridge said to Sasporilla ignoring the other students. "You're fine with this. Becoming an outsider from your own house?"
"It was my Idea miss." Sasporilla said standing. "To let good people get together and share a meal outside of the confines of the house system. My idea won my house 25 points and I'm proud of it. However if intolerance from others means we are labeled with the stigma of being an outsider then fine. From this day forward I will be an OUTSIDER!"
"Me to." Karry smiled.
"Count me in." Kay Curtiss laughed
"Sure why not." George Weasly winked at old Umbridge.
"And me." Korry toasted with his pumpkin juice.
"And me." Zac said sitting down.
"And me!" Janey Grotinag said shoving Deloris Umbridge out of the way and sitting down hard on the bench on the other side of Sasporilla.
"Very well then." Professor Umbridge said pulling out her perfume and spritzing Janey with it.
Janey sniffed the air. "Pretty."
Everyone laughed as Professor Umbridge walked away disgusted by the students and very disappointed in the granddaughter of her mentor.
It was with great surprise that the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students discovered a note on the green house door.
Dear Students;
Do to an outbreak of flesh eating slugs the green house is temporarily closed. Please report to the library for a study period. I would like you to read up on flesh eating slugs, how to dispose of them safely and why releasing a swarm of them into a class room is neither funny nor safe.
Professor Sprout
PS. Miss Bucket please report to me in the Hufflepuff common room.
"Well aren't you special." Karry laughed.
"Oh stop." Sassy giggled.
Sasporilla returned to the Hufflepuff common room. She'd never seen it quite so empty and quiet. Professor Sprout walked in followed by a small elf. Though similar in stature it was very apparent that she was no house elf. She wore an ornate blue robe with silver moons and suns imbroidered in. She had a thin strip of long white hair that she wore braded.
"Just in time Miss Bucket." Professor Sprout smiled. "Sasporilla I'd like to introduce you to Crinklesunpin."
"Please to meet you madam." Sasporilla smiled.
"Nice to meet you to child." The elf said. "Your headmaster Professor Dumbledore arranged our meeting at behest of your grandaunt."
"Oh how nice." Sasporilla smiled a little bewildered.
"Crinklesunpin is a magic weaver." Professor Sprout said.
"Yes." The old elf smiled. "Both Daisy and Drooble have said that you have the fingers for weaving. I have come to see it for myself."
"As have I." Another elf with black and gold spun robes, long wild black hair and a goatee stepped in from thin air.
"What are you doing here?" Crinklesunpin asked.
"Why dear sister I've come to see the girl weave." The elfs smile was like a mad dogs barred teeth. "If she has talent I'd train her in the ways of weaving."
"Who is this?" Professor Sprout asked of Crinklesunpin.
"This my brother." The old elf sighed shaking her head. "The notorious Crumplegoldjinn."
"Master of the dark weave." The elf bowed. "At your service."
"Pleased to meet you." Sasporilla said
politely. "I Didn't know there were different types of weaving."
"Oh yes." Crumplegoldjinn smiled evilly giving Sasporilla the shivers. "There is dark weaving and light weaving. Any old elf, like my sister, can weave the light! But it takes a true master with strength of will and strength of character to master the dark weave."
Sasporilla didn't realised that as the elf spoke she had backed away until she bumped against professor Sprout.
"You're right to fear my brother child." Crinklesunpin said. "He's twice as mean ad he is evil and not at all trust worthy."
"Shut your mouth sister or I'll weave it shut permanently." Crumplegoldjinn spat with vitriol.
"And might I remind you that you are in a place where you have no power to issue any command." Crinklesunpin laughed.
"Yes." Crumplegoldjinn snarled. "Aren't you lucky sister."
The two elves turned and looked at Sasporilla who was standing just a little behind Professor Sprout.
"Your scaring my student." Professor Sprout said crossly. "So if you want to see the example you've come to see then I suggest you allow her to get on with it, and then be on your way."
Professor Sprout turned around and placed her hands gently on Sasporillas shoulders. Crinklesunpin stuck her tongue out st the professor behind her back while Crumplegoldjinn used both hands to flip her off.
"Don't worry miss Bucket", Professor Sprout tried to reassure the young witch, "you are perfectly safe here. Just show them the example of your weaving."
Sasporilla nodded and stepped forward. She began to pluck at the air. Professor Sprout, as most witches and wizards, could not see the fabric of magic. Sasporilla worked between them, joining the silvery threads to form a very crude pin wheel shape. As she dropped her hands the silvery object appeared, hovering in the air. The eyes of both elves went wide. No human, witch or other wise, could weave. Even if they did have elf blood somewhere in their family line.
"Remarkable!" Professor Sprout smiled.
As the old witch touched the object she found she could not move it. It was solid in the air. As solid as a piece of steel suspended in a concrete wall.
"It still exists within the fabric of magic." Crumplegoldjinn sneered. "Even a powerful witch of your advanced girth wouldn't be able to budge it."
"Excuse me." Professor Sprout said outraged.
"That is very rude." Sasporilla said. "I'm done with this. Please leave. BOTH OF YOU!"
The elves bowed and with a snap of the fingers disappeared into the æther.
"Now that they know you have the talent", Professor Sprout said, "they WILL be back."
"What do they want from me?" Sasporilla asked.
"To teach you their art." Professor Sprout smiled. "Learn what you can from them but whatever you do, sign no contract they give you, make no verbal agreement with them and never ever trust either of them."
Somewhere beyond the school boundaries Crinklesunpin & Crumplegoldjinn reappeared.
"She has the gift brother." Crinklesunpin smiled.
"Yes." Crumplegoldjinn grinned. "The Stilskin bloodline has reappeared strong in her. Soon she will be ours to do with as we will."
