Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter and the Vampire Diaries.
For the next few days Iris had to repeatedly refuse to play along to Damon Salvatore's whims. She was constantly badgered to unseal a tombstone which contained the girl of his dreams. Damon went as far as to threaten the lives of people in the town if his demands were not met much to her amusement.
"In case you didn't notice this Damon, i'm from England. I'm not really related to anyone in this town. If i didn't lift a finger to stop you from your recent killings, what makes you think that i will start now?" She asked him whilst they were seated in the grill.
Damon was thrown out for a loop.
"I will not drop the seal to release a bunch of century year old starved vampires so that they can massacre innocents in this town."
…
"The Horcrux is with Umbridge."
Iris choked on her tea when Harry called to give him an update. Apparently Kreacher had located Mundungus and brought him back to Grimmauld Place but there was a slight problem of him not being in possession of the locket.
"Umbridge's home is likely to be heavily warded so a surprise ambush will be premature which only leaves you with one option." Iris said as she looked at the three faces on her mirror.
"We need to break into the Ministry Of Magic." Harry concluded only for Ron and Hermione to glare at him as though he had lost his mind.
"You will need to kidnap three Ministry Officials with high level clearance, extract information of how they operate in their day to day to activities."
"How exactly do we do that?" Ron asked rudely
"Make use of the imperius curse... Don't look at me like that you three. If you use Gryffindor tactics you will get made." She replied.
No response came as they began to digest what was said.
"What if they fight it off?" Harry asked suddenly looking unsure of his skills and turned over to look at Hermione who gone pale as ghost.
"Harry, you were the best student in your year at DADA. You are more than capable of casting that spell. If not, i can come over there and do it…"
"No that's fine sis, you are right. I can do it." Harry said.
"Just remember to call me if you need my assistance Harry." Iris replied before terminating their session
…
"Hi."
Iris had just exited from her car and was about to crossover from the parking lot to her reach her apartment only to stop when she saw a girl about 5'5" in height with brown hair, a trademark which seemed to share with here eyes. She literally came out of nowhere that Iris immediately realised that she was a vampire and before she could reply she felt a sharp blow to the back of her head and tumbled to the ground. The last thing she saw before her eyelids close was the female vampire crouching down closely to her level.
"Iris ...iris?"
Waking up with a groan she found herself face to face with Elena and Bonnie in a small bathroom.
"What happened?" Iris asked as she slowly rose to her feet and sat on to the edge of the tub before placing her head which was pounding in her hands and then in between her legs.
Elena moved quickly to a sink opposite the tub and opened the tap before turning around to reply, "this has something to do with the tomb and Emily's spell book. Damon said that it can be used to open the tomb."
"Why didn't i know about any of this?" Bonnie asked.
"I was trying to keep you out of it all hoping it would never come to this." Elena responded making Iris snort.
They all turned to look at her questioningly
"Witches will always find themselves being dragged into vampire problems no matter how much they try to avoid it. Its how it is."
Bonnie didn't what to make of that, she was practically new at this.
"How many are they, the vampires that kidnapped us? I only remember the female."
"They are only two." Elena replied.
The bathroom door suddenly burst open revealing a vampire whom Iris judged to be about 18 or 19 years of age. His lip curled when he noticed the tap water running before stepping over to the sink and sealing the tap shut.
"You are wasting your time, i'm not gonna help you." Bonnie said in defiance.
The vampire just sneered and stepped over towards Elena and dragged her closer to the door. "That's why she is here, motivation for you to behave."
"Really?" Iris demanded glaring at him. "Then why am i here?"
The vampire smirked a little, "the tomb spell is very powerful and so my partner and i figured that it would probably take two witches to undo the spell."
He then shoved Elena roughly out through the door and followed her before snapping it shut ignoring Bonnie's screams of letting her best friend loose.
"What are we gonna do?" She demanded of Iris looking terrified.
"As long as Elena's life is in their hands there is nothing we can do Bonnie."
Ten minutes later the door opened, "Okay you free to come out now." the male vampire said.
Iris and Bonnie stepped out of the bathroom and found themselves in a small bedroom which contained two beds. Elena was seated on one that was the furthest away from the exit door were the female vampire stood observing them.
"Keep them buttoned down, compulsion won't work. Just use violence." The female instructed the male vampire making Iris realize she was incharge of everything.
She then turned towards the door, opened it slightly and then left.
Now wasn't that interesting. It seemed that the male wasn't immune to the sunlight. Iris took a quick look at his hands to search for a lapiz lazuli ring to confirm her theory. She smirked a little when she was proven correct.
"Take a sit." The male vampire commanded pushing them towards Elena who moved slightly away to give them space to sit.
"Where are we exactly?" Iris asked
"Where no one can find you. It's a secluded spot." The vampire answered smirking arrogantly.
"So, if we scream no one will come badging through the door, that's what you are saying?" Iris pressed.
Bonnie and Elena didn't understand why she asked that question and neither did the vampire it seemed.
"We prepared for everything, the owner of this apartment and the people living in it have all been compelled to ignore what goes on in here." He replied.
"Well that's good to know because i am dying to pay you back for the vicious blow from last night."
The vampire chuckled in amusement it seemed only to scream a few seconds later in surprise when the door burst wide open. He remained rooted at the spot no matter how much he tried to run as the blaze of the sun consumed him. A few minutes later a rotting corpse dropped to the ground.
"Or my God!" Elena shouted her eyes threatening to pop out of her sockets. Bonnie who had intended to use water in a small glass to ignite a flame on the vampire to give them a couple of seconds to escape only gaped at Iris in shock.
"You just killed him."
Iris gave Elena a slit grin, "i have never been a fan of being told what to do by people with ulterior motives up their sleeves."
A vampire suddenly zoomed inside the house.
"Elena…Bonnie, What happened?" Stefan spoke.
…
"We got the horcrux from Umbridge." Harry spoke excitedly with Hermione and Ron nodding at the background.
"That's good news little bro, i knew you could it, so did you destroy it or was the honour given to our kind friend Kreacher?" She asked.
"No i did it." Harry replied. "We are now only left with snake, the cup, and the diadem."
She nodded as Harry made down a small list suppressing the urge to tell him about the one lodged in his scar.
"Isn't there another way of removing without having to sacrifice my brother? She remembered asking Grindelwald back at his prison. She had been so terrified of losing her last family member that she had been willing to go down through many roads not travelled by sane men just to find a solution.
"Your brother will survive this if that's what you worried about. Voldemort in his own foolishness used his blood, your mother's sacrifice to regenerate a body for himself. He already condemned himself…"
"What do you mean, i don't understand?" Iris asked
"It will take a while to explain about the magic of love… all you need to know is that Voldemort made a grave error when he used Lily's protection as a means to his return. It seems clever at first, taking the blood of someone whom he couldn't touch without risking to suffer complete agony but in reality, it just proves how idiotic he is. He doesn't understand at all how the power of love woks."
"I'm still lost here."
Grindelwald sighed in annoyance, "what exactly do they teach you at school nowadays?"
"Clearly not much, if you had seen some of our DADA teachers i'm sure you would have been very disappointed in Dumbledore's leadership style." Iris replied and waited patiently for the explanation.
Grindelwald cleared his throat and stood up before stepping over to stand inches away from the bars. "It works like this…"
"Iris hellooo."
She snapped out of her thoughts. "Sorry Harry, i got lost in my thoughts for a second there."
"Look its fine, its almost late." Harry said giving a huge sigh. He was clearly tired.
"We will resume tomorrow then brother. Goodnight."
