Chereads / Dago's Run / Chapter 12 - Link back to the past

Chapter 12 - Link back to the past

James and Mara were working tirelessly on the board as Angus, Silver, Emily and Ava all appeared in the library. They all ran hugging him but Mara continued working and writing on the board trying to find the answer to the problem.

Emily was crying along with Ava as they hung on to James but he firmly pulled them away and held the females away. He stared at them.

"I'm back. We will have time to celebrate but not now. I have to work to help Dago." He said turning back to the white board taking up his wand and began to write.

Silver shook his head. "Library. Where is the back door to the main library and the sword of Dago Malfoy?"

"The main library is destroyed as are the original sword constructs made by Dago Malfoy." The library said.

Silver frowned shaking his head. "No. What? He said we just need to find the back door." He said.

"Silver. I need you and Emily to work on engineering a spell creating a window in memory of past events." James said quickly.

Ava began looking over the work of Mara. Angus sighed. "I'll work on building a copy of my lightning sword in my shop." He said and disappeared.

"Silver!" James called after him. "I need you to get to work. Right now." He said.

"Yes, Sir." Silver said and went to work grabbing a book from the floor by the whiteboard and got to work.

Emily stood in the middle of the room in confusion. She looked confused and angry.

James finally noticed her standing around. "Emily. I need you get to work with your brother." He said patiently.

"Your alive." Emily said. "Why can't we have a moment of happiness. Malfoy can wait a day can't he?" She said.

Mara looked at James. "Honey!" She said.

James shook his head. "No. She needs to be made to understand what happened. Emily. When I was taken I was brought to a underground prison and drained of knowledge and magic then killed. Afterward my body was kept in state to be drained of what magic was left by my enemies. They weren't satisfied though. They wanted the magic and talents I had taught and cultivated with Dago. So they used my image to trick Silver into getting him to bring Dago here to capture, drain and kill. They half succeeded in their aim but I was able to be brought back by my first creation. Lady H. I killed them all. Does this answer all your questions?" He said.

"Yes for what I said about Mr. Malfoy." Emily said.

"We are pressed for time. So I need you and Silver to focus and try to help my friend. Do you require more information?" He said.

"No." Emily said in a quiet voice.

James stared at her. "You have questions I'm sure about the nature of Dago. Let me clear up any questions you might have about him. He is my best and brother. He knowingly sacrificed his life to bring me back. He died a painful horrifying death. You may not like him but I would appreciate if you keep your opinions to yourself. If I am able to bring him back it will have to be secret. Between the people in this room how that will be done because we will be breaking magical laws to do so. Are you comfortable with this?" He asked her.

Emily smiled tears coming down her cheeks. "I would be happy to help your friend daddy. Thank you for answering my questions. I better get to work now." She said and walked over to join Silver in working.

James turned back to the board going over the board. He was silent frowning in thought. "Lady H." He said.

Lady H appeared behind him. "Yes." She said.

James grimanced. "Is there any way possible for you to go back in time to grab Dago and Bellatrix before they were killed in the explosion and bring them here to this time." He said.

"No. If I had their bodies then I could regenerate them or send them back to a time period away from danger. Even if I had an item that belonged to them I could send it back to help them survive." She said.

"You could go back in time yourself." Mara said. "You could maybe send a message to yourself in the past to Dago to help. You can do that at least can't you?" She said almost demanding Lady H.

Lady H was quiet. "If you an item of Dago's or something that could be used to help him then I can send it back to a point before the explosion and help him." She said.

"So your useless." Mara said bitterly. "The only thing you have ever been usefull in is talking and regeneration." She said.

"Enough Mara. Enough." James said.

Mara shrugged and turned back to the board and continued to work. The others were quiet. James turned to Lady H. "I need you to stay alert for when we need your help." James said.

"Mara is very correct. I don't think I will be very usefull to you. I am very limited in ability and on how to help you save your friend. I would only be a burden to you." Lady H said.

"Nevermind all that." James said. "Just stay alert. I'm going to figure out some way of saving them. I have no choice and you are in need of something more to be and to be more usefull that's my fault. I raised and created you so I'll to educate you becoming more useful. But, for now you'll do as I say." James said.

Lady H bowed. "As you wish your Majesty." She said and disappeared.

James sighed taking a step away from the whiteboard. "Keep working. I'm going up top to the King's court area to figure out some plans myself." He said.

Mara turned toward him. "I'll come with you." She said.

James stared at her. "You'll stay here. I need time alone to figure out the right spell to bring Dago back." He said and disappeared.
