Secret Meeting-Part 2 The Black Rose Garden (The Forbidden Forest)
Julius Minotaur
Julius never liked using the Portkey to travel, it always made him feel queezy inside. There was no way though to not use it, because with the added security measures in place, by agreement of all the forest clans, no one was allowed to be brought to any of the clan homes by way of the paths through what was left of the Forest. After the devastating fire which consumed 80% of the woodlands, at the end of the last term of the human school, every stick and animal was under the watchful eyes of all the leaders of the clans. Darik, the elf, had even gotten the humans involved.
First looking around to make sure everything was in order; Julius glanced at Vlad to make sure he had made the trip all right. "Welcome, my friend to my home." Julius walked toward the fountain and retrieved a ladle, which he filled and offered to Vlad. Besides being a means of welcome, it would also show the others in the clearing this was a friend, and must be treated as such.
Julius motioned toward the treasured Black Rose Garden, which had been saved from the fire only with the extreme efforts of the Fire-Fairies. The clan had been able to save a respectable amount of forest around their clan home, enough to hide it, but some sparks had entered the garden area, and it had taken the fire-fairies, working together to extinguish the sparks and keep the garden intact. Only several very small areas had been burned but they were all ready on their way back to being able to produce the very rare blooms.
Standing beside Vlad, looking out over the Black Rose Garden, Julius said, "You may now ask your questions, my friend."
Vlad
Vlad had traveled by Portkey many times before but never with Julius it was a surprize to him to travel this way with him. Vlad asked "why did we did we use the Portkey and not the path?"
Vlad had accepted the ladle and was worried about his animal friend seeing that they hadn't seen him in a long time. He remembered the last time he was here in the forest and the beauty of it. it made him sad not to come and visit since then.
Vlad stairs at the black rose garden and admired it then followed Julius to it. Vlad told Julius that is is so beautiful and he is glad that it still around. This made Vlad at ease to see the Garden still around.
Vlad nodded and then started by Asking "what is so special about the kids and why does the number want them?" He also asked " how is every one and what happened to the beautiful forest?" the last question he asked was how is his Sister and what she up to these days?" because he hadn't seen her or talked to her since graduation.
After Vlad start he still had question to get answered but he didn't know were to start. So he then asked "how is Derik my friend from Egypt?"
Julius
Julius studied his friend closely. It was hard to explain to those who had not been there the night of the fire, all the anger, misgivings and distrust which had been born out of those hours. When the clans had finally been able to get together, it had been decided to shut the secret places in the Forbidden Forest down and only let trusted humans and outsiders into these areas after all the caution which could be taken was put into place. But how to explain this to someone who was not there, he would have to try. "My friend Vlad, after the fire all the clans were terrified more humans would try and do worse than the ones who burnt down the forest. Because of this human's are not allowed on any of the paths, which have been destroyed and reworked to not lead to anywhere. Even the Portkeys must have a qualified person with whoever is using them, and they can only be used for two trips. Darik is our liaison in the human village and at the school."
Julius waved to a couple of the Fire-fairies, which had come up to him to see if he had any instructions for them. They bowed in midair without landing and took off for another part of the garden. One of the females stood not far behind them, waiting to see if anything was needed. Julius smiled because out of the corner of his eye, he saw two of the young guards, standing not far away, trying to look inconspicuous, but alert if Julius needed help. He wished they could be off doing enjoyable things, but life had changed for even the young.
"The Number thinks some of the young humans and even a few of the adults can be used to release him from his prison and then help him regain the power, which he thinks still exists. The group known as the Core was formed to help protect the main ones, the Dark One wants; mainly Tia Andreas, a true Princess who will someday rule the Magical Egyptian world, if she chooses in a couple of years, is probably the most important one or the group. You will have to have Darik, explain the rest because it is a human thing and he helps them more than I do."
"We know it was human's who set the fires. Darik and a few of the human's from the school and village found the three starting spots where some type of device was set off. They went for effect because he fire was out of control for a long time. The clans fought to keep their homes from being destroyed and getting their clan members to safety. The humans protected the town and everyone used what magic they could to put out the fire, but it was very hot very fast. I am not even sure the humans have an explanation from anyone on why it was set. Everyone is a little edgy about the whole thing, but all have banded together to take what measure possible to keep track of who is in the forest and where they go."
"Your sister has been well. She has become a Healer of Animals in the Human world. When the forest burned, she came and helped in the Forest. The clans are all grateful to her and she can travel anytime she wants too. She knows how to signal if there is a problem." Julius looked back out into the Black Rose Garden, "When you see her young one … remember she is a woman grown and take her words as such. She has been through a lot, has seen things any female should not have to see and know about and still she seeks to help." Julius watched to make sure the young Vlad was not planning on using his sister to help him with the Number. "She does not deserve to be drawn into your life with the Number. Many in the forest will protect her."
Julius smiled. "Darik is fine. He will be glad to see you. You will find he is very important to the humans and to the clans. Through his efforts, he had been able to pull all of us together." Darik had told Julius a little about Vlad and he knew wand making was important to the young human. "You will be happy to know Darik was able to save some very special trees for the two of you to enjoy making wands from. He told me how you both made them together."
"Come let's sit down a bit." Julius led Vlad over to a place near the fountain and sat on the thick cushion of grass which was tended especially to give comfortable seating. One of the females brought them a large bowl of fruit, which Julius offered to Vlad. Setting the bowl down, Julius smiled and said, "Vlad, my friend. I hope you will not mind a question, two actually. What has kept you away and busy from us and although I know you have been asked to teach at the school, what is the real reason you have returned to this part of the magical world?"
Vlad
Vlad fallows Julius to sit and talk more about what has been going on since the last time he visited.
Vlad said " I know that the Number is a bad person and I have been trying to get the protector of the sheild to spend time with me so I can try to teach him the truth about what is going on. The protector is like a brother to me and knows I wouldn't put him in harms way or lie to him. He like a child wanting to learn the truth but has been feed lies up to now this is part of why I do what I do plus he never marked me like he was suposes to in the first place."
Vlad told Julius "I'm so glad that Darik is doing well and I really miss being with him learning how to make wands with him. I really wish i hadn't stayed away so long I feel bad now because i could have helped stop the fire and catch those who started it.
vlad told Julius "I'm glad to her my sister is doing well and is safe because I don't want her get hurt nor want her getting invalved with the Number." Vlad has been very worried about his sister since he left her unprotected not know that she has been protected by all his animal friends. It made made vlad happy to hear that she is safe.
Vlad except some fruit from the bowl and answered Julius question stating " I came back for many reason and I was sent to Egypt by the Number to servalance the new Hogwarts head mistress when she was over there but I met Darik and learned so much from him that I came back to teach my friend the protector this good new and try to teach him how to block his thoughts from the Number and not let him know that he can speak out loud beside threw thaughts. I need help from all of you to free him from the Numbers grasp so please spread the word." " I also have come back to ask my sister to help me on this task from a far I dont want her getting close to the Numbers cave." " I must have earned the trust of the head mistress of the school to get a job offer at the school seems how I was subing in Egypt."
Julius
Julius nodded. "There are several of the humans who are trying to do the same thing you are, my young friend. I will check and see if they want to work with you, but I think you better plan on working alone at the moment. You will have to earn the trust of those at the school, before they will approach you. There are many who are petrified of the Number and what he is trying to do, so it will take some time…. not having the mark will make it easier for you also. The mark makes humans in the wizard world panic and act emotionally and not use their brain. So be careful who you talk to about you friend in the cave."
"It makes my heart warm, to hear you say you do not want your sister involved with The Number. She is a sweet human, and her heart would break to know there is one like the one behind the shield in any kind of control. During the times she helped in the forest after the big burn, she has walked by the cave several times, but we have not let her enter it. The other humans have just to ld her it is unsafe. She is curious Vlad, so watch her closely."
"That is actually good news, my friend. It has given you an understanding of her strength. She is strong not only in mind but in feelings. She is a Seer, you know? Do not cross her and do not hurt the children and you will do fine at the school."
"I will pass the word among the clans. Most are very leery of any human. They will know you talk with the Number and will be frightened to help you. However, I will see what I can do. I have known you since the first time many years ago, you wondered into the forest, and I know what is deep inside you, but that person is in the past, and the one you show them now is the one they see. Live and work at the school, be good to the students and some will come to see what I see."
Julius chuckled, "She will not be easy to fool Vlad. You both have grown and become wiser in how this world works. If you tell her secrets she will not pass them on, but she is the type to want to prove the secret to be true or false on her own. If you tell her not to come to the cave, she will come to find out why you think it is dangerous. I will help watch for her."
"…I must have earned the trust of the head mistress of the school to get a job offer at the school seems how I was only subbing in Egypt."
"The Headmistress at the school, can see deep, Vlad. She has offered the job to someone who she feels can teach the children what they need to know to fight real demons in the world. So many have gone through the motions and only taught them the basics, but it has not left them prepared for the surprises which can be used by those who do not fight fair or with honor. You will be walking a fine line between teaching them honor, which you have in you and teaching them what those without honor are capable of. This she sees and this she trusts you with."
Julius looked up at the sky and saw the time was getting near to do another test of the security system. "I am afraid my friend you must leave the forest now, because the clans are about to do a security run. I will take you to the edge of the forest. Do you wish to go to the human village or the school first?"
Vlad
Vlad relax for a bit after talking to Julius and thanks him for being his friend for so long and understanding what is going on as well as being willing to try to help out as much as he and the clans will be able to. While sitting and relaxing he still has questions that he want to get answered but realizes the time in the sky and says fare wells to all though he loves. The Vlad turns to Julius and thanks him once again for all the up to date info. Vlad missed them and now knows more on what was going on since he left
Vlad thanks Julius for all the help and understanding on why the new head mistress would hire him and makes a note that this is a test for himself to prove to those that are good that he really want their help and isn't trying to help the Number. Vlad then answers Julius question about where he want to go first by stating the village so he can catch up with his friend Darik.
Julius
Julius nodded and got up. "You can use the port-key over there. It will take you to Hogsmeade, just outside of Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shoppe. It is the most likely place to find Darik. If he is not there, Mistress Sara will give you something to drink and eat if you like while you wait. She can also send a message to where ever he is." Julius reached out and shook the human's hand. "You are welcome back her anytime my friend. Darik can get you here or you can just walk into the edge of the forest. My clan knows you well enough, that we will contact you and bring you here. Be careful, not all at the school can be trusted. Some will know your past connections. Close your mind to the Dark One while you are there if you can." Julius nodded and watched as Vlad walked toward the tree marked as a Portkey.

You will be walking a fine line between teaching them honor, which you have in you and teaching them what those without honor are capable of. This she sees and this she trusts you with."
Julius looked up at the sky and saw the time was getting near to do another test of the security system. "I am afraid my friend you must leave the forest now, because the clans are about to do a security run. I will take you to the edge of the forest. Do you wish to go to the human village or the school first?"
Vlad
Vlad relax for a bit after talking to Julius and thanks him for being his friend for so long and understanding what is going on as well as being willing to try to help out as much as he and the clans will be able to. While sitting and relaxing he still has questions that he want to get answered but realizes the time in the sky and says fare wells to all though he loves. The Vlad turns to Julius and thanks him once again for all the up to date info. Vlad missed them and now knows more on what was going on since he left

Vlad thanks Julius for all the help and understanding on why the new head mistress would hire him and makes a note that this is a test for himself to prove to those that are good that he really want their help and isn't trying to help the Number. Vlad then answers Julius question about where he want to go first by stating the village so he can catch up with his friend Darik.
Julius
Julius nodded and got up. "You can use the port-key over there. It will take you to Hogsmeade, just outside of Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shoppe. It is the most likely place to find Darik. If he is not there, Mistress Sara will give you something to drink and eat if you like while you wait. She can also send a message to where ever he is." Julius reached out and shook the human's hand. "You are welcome back her anytime my friend. Darik can get you here or you can just walk into the edge of the forest. My clan knows you well enough, that we will contact you and bring you here. Be careful, not all at the school can be trusted. Some will know your past connections. Close your mind to the Dark One while you are there if you can." Julius nodded and watched as Vlad walked toward the tree marked as a Portkey.
