Chapter 39 - CHAPTER - 39 "HUFFLE PUFF GEM STONE"

Nyx Blazer, Rose, and James slowly stepped back from their embrace, the air around them still warm with unspoken emotions and newly forged bonds, the ancient walls of the Hufflepuff Fort glowing faintly as if acknowledging the union of hearts within it.

Rose says "I am so happy to make Nyx Blazer as my dragon and best friend and to invite into our team"

Rose adds "WELCOME NYX BLAZER TO OUR TEAM"

"Our friends would be thrilled to welcome you and make you as a friend and you will get a family in all of us"

James says to Rose

"Wait for a moment Rose".

I need to talk to Nyx first, Before we take a step in joining Nyx into our team.

James turned toward Nyx, his expression serious yet respectful, his voice steady with quiet resolve.

James starts to talk to Nyx,

"Nyx,, I am happy to invite you into my team, but you must be very careful about the dangers that are approaching us, because the path ahead is filled with unseen threats and dark intentions, and one wrong step could cost us everything. I hope you understand what I am saying to you."

"This Journey which we are going to take have lot of risk and danger and our path and goal is to bring all the peace and happiness back and to destroy evil Voldemort completely along with his army and don't want other Dark Lord Varkon Black shade rises"

"For that we need Legendary Sword that can form with Four Ancient Gem stones"

Nyx inclined her head, her crimson eyes softening.

"Yes, James," Nyx replied calmly, "I understand completely, and I am happy to join your team, because this journey is no longer yours alone, and neither is the battle that awaits."

"I wanted to join in this battle to make my master Helian Huffle Puff wishes come true and also to destroy evil once again, For that I would even give my life to achieve that"

"I am also much happier to chose my master as Rose and was excited to join with all of you and to fight and destroy Evil"

Rose stepped forward, her face glowing with happiness as she looked between James and Nyx.

"I am so, so happy," Rose said warmly, "that Nyx became my own dragon and my friend, and that we are going to work together as a team, because with Nyx beside us, our team will be far more powerful than before, and I truly hope Guardian Cedric feels happy too, because he helped us find the way and allowed us to enter this place."

Nyx froze instantly, her expression changing from calm to shock, her body stiffening as if struck by invisible lightning.

Immediately, Nyx asked sharply, 

"What are you talking about, Rose?" her voice edged with disbelief.

Rose looked confused but answered honestly.

"I am talking about Guardian Cedric, Nyx," Rose replied, "and all our friends are with him outside."

Nyx's eyes widened even further, disbelief turning into alarm.

"That is impossible," Nyx said slowly, each word heavy with certainty, "because there is no Guardian Cedric guarding the Hufflepuff Fort."

James shouted instinctively, his voice echoing against the stone walls.

"What?"

Rose shook her head in denial, her voice trembling.

Rose insisted and says "But we saw him,"

, "Guardian Cedric looked both young and old at the same time, and he helped us come inside, Nyx."

Nyx's answer was immediate and firm.

Nyx replies 

"No, There is no guardian here."

Rose crossed her arms slightly, frustration creeping in.

Rose said " NO THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE NYX"

"You have been sleeping inside this place for generations," "so maybe you never knew what was happening outside, right, Nyx?"

Nyx laughed softly, though there was an edge to it, her wings rustling faintly.

"I may sleep whenever I wish and do whatever I want," Nyx replied, "but I can sense every being around the Hufflepuff Fort, and I already sensed evil some time ago, which is why I woke up to face it, because I can sense dark and corrupted energy far faster than I can sense good people."

James frowned, confusion clouding his face.

Rose says, "I still cannot understand,"

"because he truly looked like a guardian."

Nyx's expression grew solemn as she revealed the truth.

"There was only two true guardian who protected this fort," Nyx reveals "Guardian Aldric Gryffindor, along with Godric Gryffindor, and they made this place invisible to the world."

James and Rose exchanged glances, the realization sinking in like a cold weight.

"We must go outside and save our friends," Rose said urgently, turning to run.

James quickly caught her hand, stopping her.

James said firmly, "No, Rose," "we must get the Hufflepuff Gemstone first, and only then will we have to go."

"But Scorpius, Dagger, and everyone else," Rose protested.

James says "They will be fine," with a confident smile.

Rose replies NO NO, We can't risk our friend lives. Who are helping to achieve our goal.

"You take the Gemstone," "and Nyx and I will save everyone."

Nyx interrupted, "That is not possible, And James is right."

Nyx's voice echoed through the chamber as she continued.

"The doors of this fort opened because it can sense the purity of one's heart and intentions, because this fort is alive, and when you were attacked by me earlier, it sensed your pain, your sacrifice, and James's pain at almost losing you, which is why the dark chamber transformed into a beautiful palace, because this place changes according to the nature and soul of those inside it."

Nyx paused before adding coldly,

"If you both were evil, these doors would never have opened, because this fort was created with pure magic, love, and sacrifice, and your lives were saved not only by me, but by this fort and the Gemstone itself."

Rose swallowed hard.

"What about our friends?" she asked softly.

Nyx noticed James's calm demeanor and raised a brow.

James smiled knowingly, tapping his forehead.

James replies "I am not a fool, to leave my friends unprotected."

Rose blinked.

"What does that mean?"

"I sensed something suspicious about Guardian Cedric long before we entered this place," James replied, "so I made a plan in advance."

Rose rubbed her temples.

"I am getting a headache," she said, "please explain."

James said calmly, "Do not worry at all and that so-called Guardian Cedric cannot even touch a single hair on our friends' heads, because if Dark Lord Voldemort thinks he is smart, then I am more smartest, and I never stay silent without reason."

Nyx smiled approvingly.

"The Gemstone is in the fourth room upstairs," Nyx said, "but be careful."

James lifted Rose into his arms without warning.

"What is this?" Rose exclaimed.

Nyx nodded.

Nyx says, "He must carry you like that,, because there are traps around the Gemstone, and I will guide you."

As they climbed the stairs, Nyx's expression softened as memories surfaced.

Rose asked. "Why are you smiling?"

"I remembered an old incident," Nyx replied quietly, "one I will soon forget."

James glanced at Nyx.

"Do you have a secret boyfriend?" he teased.

Nyx fell silent, pain flashing across her eyes.

Nyx replies No but at last, "I once had a friend, but he is no longer part of my life."

Her thoughts drifted to Shadow Claw, though she kept his name unspoken.

They reached the fourth room, and James stepped forward.

" Nyx warned urgently, "Stop, James, "it is not safe."

She handed him a sword.

Nyx says "Think before every step you take," 

James nodded.

The moment James stepped inside, arrows shot from every direction. He blocked them with one hand, gripping the sword tightly while holding Rose closer with the other. The assault intensified, and James slammed into the wall, blood dripping from his arm.

"James!" Rose cried.

Nyx shouts at James "Do not put her down or everything will collapse."

Rose feels bad and says "But we are not lovers, he treats me like a friend."

Nyx stared at her in shock.

Nyx says "WHAT ?"

And reveals "Only two pure love souls can enter this fort," 

James clenched his teeth, breathing deeply as he deflected arrows faster than sight allowed. At last, the attack stopped, only for one final arrow to fly.

Nyx screamed. "Look out!" 

James and Rose struck together, blocking it.

Nyx says softly , "You guys have passed the test,"

Rose opened the glowing box and revealed a massive yellow gemstone, ancient and powerful.

Nyx warns Rose and James.

"Close it, "evil senses power quickly."

They exited the palace, James setting Rose down.

"You are heavy," James joked.

"Are you calling me fat?" Rose snapped, hitting his arm.

James shouts with pain

"Ah!.....Ouch "

Rose thinks for a moment.

"O MY GOD. We have to go to our friends"

Rose starts to run towards outside.

Nyx smiled at James and says

"I admire your bravery and you carry the spirit of Aldric Gryffindor."

James, Rose and Nyx Black shade comes outside.

Nyx rises to tall enough to match Huffle Puff Fort Height.

Rose gets shocked.

James smiles and says to Rose.

"Some Dragons will have extreme powers like Nyx"

Rose gets surprised and say "AWW"

Nyx Black shade murmurs something in her mouth and stops.

All The Huffle Puff Fort gets vanished.

James and Rose look at each other with a surprise.

Nyx Blazer rises back to its normal form.

James and Rose asks Nyx

"What Happened Now ?" "What did you do ?"

Nyx replies.

I did what i felt is good, My responsibility is not only to save the Huffle Puff Gem stone.

But also to save the Huffle Puff Fort.

I Know Evil Wizard witches who wanted power would come here to looking it.

Now Huffle Puff Gem stone is in right hands.

I Feel If Gem stone is not here. This place is safe and but still I have to make no one see it.

Finally. I fulfilled my responsibility and made understood my own path is to save my team and also Hogwarts.

James and Rose looks at Nyx with admiration.

James, Rose says together

"WE ARE REALLY PROUD OF YOU NYX"

Nyx smiles.

Nyx says to James and Rose.

"I AM SO PROUD OF YOU TWO BOTH"

"Both of you risked your own lives along with your friends to save your school Hogwarts and fighting evil"

"For centuries, No one couldn't able to come here, Because there are lot of hurdles and risks.

I even i killed some evil people to save Huffle Puff Gem stone"

"But when i saw you both. My mind said that you both are evil,

But my heart said that both of you are good people and to not harm them"

But I have to chose my responsibility and promise above every thing.

So, I attacked you both, But when Rose got injured while trying to save James and is about to die.

At that time I remembered my Master Helian Huffle Puff words

"FOLLOW YOUR HEART NYX, NOT MIND"

"YOUR INNER HEART WOULD NEVER GO WRONG, NEVER ATTACK INNOCENT AND PURE AND GOOD PEOPLE"

So, I Stopped when Rose stopped James in attacking me.

"I felt guilty and wanted to get the punishment"

But when Rose stopped James.

I was already devastated When both of you said My master Helian Huffle Puff is No more"

"But I saw a glimpse of my master in Rose"

"So, I CHOSE ROSE AS MY MASTER"

And I'm saying all this to you because I wanted to leave all the burden here which is my heart and want to follow my master path and to save Hogwarts.

James smiles at Nyx Blazer and taps on its forehead.

Rose says You can talk like this to us any time. We also felt happy after listening to you.

James also says to Nyx

You can talk to us Whenever you wanted to

You can treat me Rose and all our friends like your dear ones or friends,

Nyx smiles,

Rose asks James,

You said You already made a plan what it is ?

I wanted to know.

James smiles and says

You can see for yourself and no need to fear that harm would fall on our team.

Rose rushes towards the place of their team and gets shocked.

James, Rose and Nyx Blazer gets surprised and shocked.

James and Rose starts laughing seeing the scene.

Thorn claw is playing with Cedric. 

Cedric face is fully black and Guardian Cedric came to his original form as a Dark Army member

Thorn claw and Dim are scaring Drake.

Dim is already broke Wooden stick of Drake.

Many Dark Army soldiers fallen dead.

Scorpius says "We have already implemented your plan"

Rose finds Kael is left unconscious and sleeping on ground.

Rose asks What Happened to Kael ?

Bobby replies "He got scared seeing Guardian Cedric is turning into a Vampire and all the dark army soldiers came from every where"

"But Successfully We took action plan and killed every one"

James, Rose smiles and all the place goes with laughter, and Joy.

But,

Nyx froze in shock upon seeing Thorn Claw and 

Her breath hitched as a single name escaped her lips in silence.

"Shadow Claw…"
