The Soul of the Slytherin Princess.

By: Bridget Black-Malfoy.

When the Dark Lord Finds out that the soul of Slytherins only daughter Akasha is sealed in the body of Hermione Granger he discovers a side of himself he never thought possible.

Chapter 1 – Her Soul.

Dumbledore was sitting in his study reading a book titled The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts. It was about four thirty in the morning, when all of a sudden the fire place burst into emerald green flames and then revealed Severus Snape in the flames. When the flames died down, Snape exited the fireplace and walked fast over to where Dumbledore was sitting.

Before Dumbledore could say anything, Severus was already telling his story.

"Headmaster, I have just come back from a meeting. The Dark Lord is in the middle of forming a plan. A plan that I think is something that will end the war for the worst." Snape said all in an angry voice as he looked at Dumbledore with hope that he would have something to make things better for everyone.

Dumbledore did not know what to say. How was it the Riddle, who last week had almost been on the edge of destruction was now having a plan that was scaring Severus Snape?

"Severus, what is it?"

"Headmaster he is trying to find the girl whose soul intertwines with Akasha Slytherin."

"Has he said anything more?" Dumbledore asked, knowing the answer already, but hoping that he was wrong.

"He is going to try to trick her into marrying him, and then tap into Akasha's soul and have the full power of Slytherin and Ravenclaw, Brains with loads of power I can only imagine what the tip of the ice burg would be."

Dumbledore got up from his seat, and then went to a portrait of a witch that was sitting on a blue couch with a back ground of books, she was slim, with black hair, and bright blue eyes, she was Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the four founders of Hogwarts.

"Rowena, please contact Minerva McGonagall, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and Alastor Moody. Tell them that I need to see them immediately!"

"Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore," and the lady walked out of the frame.

Dumbledore walked back to his desk and then looked at Snape. Dumbledore's eyes clearly contained worry, but he tried to hide it as he looked away for a split second and then back to Snape.

"Severus as soon as they show up I will explain more, and answer all of your questions."

They waited for about three minutes when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Dumbledore called, and in came Professor McGonagall.

"Professor Dumbledore is there something wrong?" She asked as she sat down in a chair by Snape. She was dressed in a dressing gown with fuzzy slippers. She looked a little shaken from being woken up at such a late hour.

Dumbledore smiled and said "All in good time Professor, we are waiting for three others."

Ten minutes after Professor McGonagall arrival when the fire place burst into emerald flames, just like they had when snape had came. Out came Lupin, followed by Sirius, then Moody.

"Headmaster." Said Lupin and Sirius as they sat down in the remaining two seats.

"Albus," Moody said standing to the left side of Dumbledore's desk.

Dumbledore said short replies as he stood, moved behind his chair and pushed it into his desk then leaned upon the back of the chair.

"I am sure that all of you are wondering why I have called you here at such an early hour. The reason is that Severus has found out some rather disturbing news. Severus if you please." Dumbledore looked to Snape who looked like he would rather endure the Cruciatus Curse than to have to tell everyone what he had heard at the last death eater meeting.

"Well here goes, it starts out at me" Severus started; when he was done he looked at everyone around the room. McGonagall was looking stunned with dread, Lupin was looking at the fireplace along with Sirius and Moody was looking at Dumbledore waiting for him to speak.

"As you all can tell we are in a serious problem, Voldemort is planning to get into the power of Slytherin, and will not let anything stand in his way. This is why I have called you all here: we must protect Akasha's soul. Any questions?" Dumbledore looked around and waited for the questions, but only one person spoke.

"Dumbledore do you know who the girl is?" Asked McGonagall her voice shaking with every word, not knowing if she wanted to know.

"Yes Minerva, I doIt is Hermione Granger." He said with a sad voice. Everyone looked shocked at Dumbledore's words, but there was no time to get into details, that would have to be saved for latter, but not now. "I promise to explain everything at some other time, but right now we have no time, Minerva I need you to go to where Akasha's body is buried and take her casket to the lowest point in the school, lock the casket up with every spell you can think of, and then I will add my own latter."

"Of course Headmaster." And without another word she left out of the door, and into the rest of the Hogwarts castle.

"Sirius, and Remus, I need you to go to Hermione's house, I believe that you two are still in touch, with Mr. and Mrs. Granger."

"Are you kidding? Never stopped talking to them after school." Remus said as he and Sirius stood, and went to the fireplace. They took some Flu Powder out of their pockets, and they were gone in a burst of green flames.

"Now for you two." Dumbledore said as he looked at Moody, and Snape, "I need you two to keep a look out. Severus I need you to keep going to meetings, and keep talking to Voldemort, and I know it is hard but it will help young Granger."

"Yes Headmaster, I will do as you ask." And with that Snape exited the room.

When Snape had walked out that was when Alastor sat down and looked at his friend. Never in so many years of knowing Albus Dumbledore had he seen him so distressed.

"And of me Albus?" Moody asked looking at Dumbledore.

"I would like to talk Alastor." Dumbledore said, as he watched one of his greatest friends sit down infront of him. "Alastor, I am extremely worried about Hermione's well being."

"Trust me Albus, she will be fine." Moody said, hoping beyond hope that the young lady in question would be fine.
