Chapter 16: Chapter 16
She couldn't help but smile proudly as she watched Remus sit back down, slightly blushing, at the teachers' table.
"And we also take this opportunity to welcome our new student from the prestigious Ilvermorny school, Khronos Wright," Dumbledore announced.
A pale boy walked through the doors of the Great Hall, and all eyes fell on him. Blaise stopped poking his redhead friend under the table and also turned his attention to the new boy.
He sat elegantly on the stool, and the hat obscured his face.
Skuld noticed something that disturbed her entire being.
Khronos Wright...
"SLYTHERIN!"
She was the only one who didn't applaud.
She was shocked when he took off his hat and winked at her, smiling almost evilly.
Those brown eyes would bring her trouble.
. . . . .
It was a pleasure to see her in the hallways, in classes, or in the Common Room.
Her mere presence radiated an impressive strength, and Harry had already heard several boys say they might like the redhead.
Instead of making Ron, or his brother, angry, it made Harry angry.
How could they talk about her beautiful green eyes if they had never seen them shine with something she was passionate about?
How dare they mention how pretty her freckles were if they had never stopped to appreciate them like he had?
"Look away or even Snape will notice," Hermione whispered, busy with her potion just like Skuld.
But the difference was, Skuld filled Harry's senses just by being present in the room.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Harry answered, slightly blushing and confused.
Hermione smiled, as she always did when she caught him staring at his best friend's sister.
. . . . .
"Khronos, shut up," Skuld snapped, turning to look at the brunette.
He smiled smugly.
"The meaning of my name is curious," he commented, brushing a strand of brown hair from his forehead. "Just as curious as what they say about you."
Skuld let her guard down for a second, looking confused.
Skuld wasn't intimidated by Khronos, even though he was two heads taller than her, a year older, and seemed to know something the rest of them didn't.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Khronos..." he continued.
Skuld allowed herself to doubt for a moment.
"Khronos or Crono, the Titan of time," she responded defiantly, though unsure of herself.
"Smart as they say," he clicked his tongue.
He smiled again, showing his perfect white teeth.
It almost seemed unreal.
"I call myself cultured, not intelligent," Skuld muttered, raising an eyebrow and slapping away his hand when he reached for her orange hair.
"Dear Norna," he said, still smiling. "I am time, and you are death. We are both necessary in the cycle of life. Everyone has time, they just waste it. Only when evil death comes, do they repent."
"Be clear, Wright."
"I am fulfilling my function for you so that later you can fulfill yours," he shrugged, dropping his smile for a moment. "Death must come when time runs out. Be clear about that."
"Death will come in time if you do not leave me, Khronos Wright," Skuld warned, her eyes cold.
[T/N: hehehehhehHHAHAAAAHAHA!!! CUM!!!!]
"Mark my words, Skuld Weasley. Your middle name is exactly for you to think about what is right when the time comes. Try not to be so pious toward those who wronged you."
And he walked away.
Leaving a redhead confused and a thoughtful Albus Dumbledore, who had overheard the entire conversation.
