Here, we are, chapter 4 has arrived! It's plan time! And well done to PotterPhan21 for being the first to guess Nedom is an anagram of Demon. This chapter is dedicated all to you!
Chapter 4: Demonic Missions And Rescues
Underworld…
"…And the specimen that is carrying our future Source, she is right here. Come here, love." Nedom pulled Lily in front of the crowd. She had power inhibitor bracelets on so she couldn't orb or use any of her other powers. Hermione had to stop herself from gasping out loud. She was mingled near the front of the crowd, wearing a black leather cat suit. She fit in perfectly.
"By the end of this week, we shall have the next Source!" Cheers went up around the crowd. Hermione joined in so she didn't draw attention to herself.
"Now, time for this spell to commence. Seer!" Nedom called to the daughter of the old seer, who came around the corner, bringing an old looking book in her arms. She looked youngish, but being a demon it probably didn't reflect her true age.
Lily saw the book and gasped. "I thought that Leo took the Grimoire into the Himalayas years ago?" She asked, her voice sounding scared.
"Did the Charmed Ones not know about my mother's own Grimoire? Aww, shame." The Seer reminded Hermione of Draco in their first few years at Hogwarts.
"Shall we move on?" Nedom urged the Seer. Hermione watched in horror as the Seer placed her book on the pedestal and raised an atheme to Lily. She grabbed her hand, although Lily fought back but lost, and cut the palm. With the bracelets on her wrists, she couldn't self heal. The blood dripped into a goblet, which started to smoke as soon as the blood hit the bottom of it. The seer took the goblet and placed it in front of the pedestal.
"Bring the birth of this child close! Let us raise her! Let us help her! Bring the future Source to us!" The Seer raised her arms above the goblet. The goblet started to boil over then a flash and bang later, the goblet had disappeared, indicating the spell was complete.
"I'm done here." The Seer said, picking the Grimoire up and light teleporting away. Nedom looked around the demons and his eyes settled on Hermione. She began to panic, but didn't show it on the outside.
"You." He pointed at her. "Take her back to the cage." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded and took Hermione by her hands and took her down the corridor. After they were no longer in view, Hermione let go.
"Lily, I need you to orb us back to Godric's Hollow. Before anyone comes." She said. Lily snorted.
"How the hell do you know where I live? And like I would orb you anywhere, if I could."
"Lily, it's Hermione. Harry used his Biokinesis on me so I could come rescue you."
Lily narrowed her eyes. "Prove it."
Hermione sighed. She picked up a rock and threw it in the air. She froze it then made it explode. She heated up the area where they were and produced a small flame. "I'm part of the Kinetic Charmed Ones, I got you a charmed dress for the baby when she's born, you told me when I got my energy balls and I thought I was evil that you couldn't imagine a girl as caring and loving as me being evil. And Ron said the same thing."
Oh my God, that is you Hermione. But I can't orb us out. These bracelets are power inhibitors. They stop me using them."
"Ok. Hold still, this won't hurt you as long as you don't move." Hermione made a small energy ball and aimed it at the bracelet. As soon as it hit it, the bracelet disappeared. They both smiled widely as she zapped the other one. Lily rubbed her wrists where they had been.
"Thanks Hermione. Now let's get the hell away from here." The pair of the orbed away just as Nedom saw them.
"That stupid Whitelighter." He muttered, then to the group behind him. "Find that Whitelighter and that pathetic excuse of a demon! Now!" The various demons disappeared in their own way.
Godric's Hollow, Quidditch Pitch…
Hermione and Lily orbed into the middle of the pitch and Hermione caught Lily as she nearly fell over.
"Why did you orb us outside Lily?" Hermione asked.
"Two reasons. One, I thought they might be playing Quidditch. Two, when you've been down in the underworld for nearly half a day, you crave a little fresh air."
"Oh right. I'm just going to let Ron know we're here." Hermione told her. 'Ron, baby, we're back. Lily's here safe and sound, get everyone here. At the Quidditch pitch before you ask.' She thought to him.
'Ok, we'll be there in 10 seconds.' Ron thought back, his mental voice filled with joy.
Only 5 seconds passed until familiar orbs appeared and the figure who they belonged to catapulted himself at Lily.
"Lily, you are never leaving my sight ever again. I love you so much. I can't believe that happened to you…" James rambled in between kissing Lily. Hermione saw orbs of Ginny and Paige with everyone there. Harry threw himself at Lily and the three Potter's hugged each other like they had when they first saw each other in the manor all those months. And again, everyone had a tear in their eye.
"James, Harry, I'm fine. Hermione got to me quick enough, they didn't get the baby." Lily said.
"What do you mean, they wanted our baby?" James asked, horrified.
Lily nodded. "They wanted to raise her as the new Source." Gasps from everyone.
"What? That's sick." Paige said.
"Tell me about it. "I am so going to kick that demon's arse from here to Pluto." Harry growled.
"Normally I wouldn't let you use that language Harry, but I totally agree with you on this front." James said. "What was the demon's name?"
"Nedom."
"Let's check the book. Leo and I will go." Piper said. "Paige, give us a lift back to Hogwarts." The two sisters and Leo orbed back to their room in Hogwarts.
"Harry, would you be able to change me back now, I feel so uncomfortable like this." Hermione asked him.
"Yeah sure Mione." Harry waved his hand and Hermione's brown hair reappeared, going wavier and her eyes returned to the brown colour they were before.
"There's my girlfriend." Ron said with a grin, grabbing her around the waist. He kissed her before looking properly at what she was wearing. "Please say you plan on wearing this more often."
"Ok Hermione, let's get you upstairs and changed into something that will keep my brother from drooling everywhere." Ginny grinned and took Hermione's hand, orbing them to Hermione's room in Godric's.
"They aren't getting away that easy." Harry thought about Ginny and was instantly transported to her, Ron doing the same for Hermione.
"I think I'm going to go for a walk in the forest. Prue, you interested?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah Pheebs. Course."
"HEY! What about us?" Sirius and Remus asked together.
"Oh you can come if you really want." Phoebe waved her hand at them.
Why you… Sirius changed into Padfoot and started to chase Phoebe, who changed into her dog form too. Remus changed into Moony and Prue into her dog form and they followed the other two into the forest.
"And that just leaves us two." James said. "Want to go into the manor?"
"Anywhere with you James Potter." Lily smiled but grimaced as a shooting pain went through her body.
"What's wrong hunny?" James asked, worried.
Lily forced a smile. The pain was gone now anyway. "It was nothing sweetie. Come on, let's go in." The two Whitelighters orbed into Godric's Hollow, unaware of what was going to happen within 48 hours…
Well, what did you think? Hate it, love it, why not leave a review! I love them sooo much! And stay tuned for the next chapter, it might go a little off topic, but it's still relevant. And a heads up, there is a slight sex scene, not one going into detail but one with a build up if you get me.
