Chapter 7:
Albus POV:
"Albus I need you to come with me and Luke to Rosier Manor, Adrian and Teddy, I need you both to stay here and ward Rose's room. Make sure no one but family is allowed , Alexa, and Draco are the only healers allowed in Understood?.." Said Dad to us.
Adrian and Teddy nod and go to their respective wife's. After they exchange a few
words each, we see Roxy and Vic, take their children and leave back to the Burrow.
Dad turns to look atLuke and myself, he motions for us to move further away from
the rest of the family.
"Luke, I need you to give us access into the Manor. Only you know the way around Athena's wards. Also I need you to contact your uncle and have him contact me, I need to speak to him. I'm going to go and say bye to Ron and Hermione, after that we will leave."
He walks towards my aunt and uncle, who are carrying their newest grandson, he
speaks to uncle Ron and I see him nod, they exchange a few more words and dad
makes his way back to us. He motions for us to follow him down the hall. I hate
hospitals, they are so cold and empty, it feels as if the only people alive are the
Healers and staff. As dad fills in Luke about the situation, I can't stop thinking about
what happened to Rose. It's so weird. One moment she's smiling at me the next she's
like petrified in her seat. Thankfully the baby was alright. I had never seen Scorpius
more broken than he is now. I remember when they first started going out. I didn't
think they would last, they were so different, he was a player, always had a girl on his
arm, never alone. Between him, Louis, and I, we were Slytherins most attractive
guys. We used to rule the school along with James, Fred, and Scorp's cousins Adrian
Zabini. After they left, they passed us the torch. Scorpius became Head Boy and I
became Slytherin's quidditch captain during our last year. Then came Rose, she was
so quiet and proper. I knew instantly that his parents loved her. I mean who wouldn't
it was Rose. I remember how he looked so scared and nervous on their first date.
Louis and I teased him about it, but it scared us, he had never been nervous before
with any of his dates. Eventually we all realized that they would last, so it wasn't
much of a surprised when he told us he was proposing to her on her birthday. Nor
was it a surprised when after all the shit that happened, Rose agreed to marry him.
They lost three years of their relationship with her being in America and all, and now
not even a year after their marriage, this happens to them. I'll be dammed if I don't
figure out what happened to her. I'm so caught up in my thoughts that I don't even
realize when we are outside of Mungo's.
"Come on Albus, we need to Apparate to the Manor, Athena has lifted the anti-apparition wards around the gate." Said Dad.
We walk to the alleyway designated for Apparating and I visualize Athena's home. We
land in front of her gates. I still can't over how big this place is. It basically looks like
a castle. A very nice pale yellow castle. The gardens are immaculate, flowers
everywhere even in the front by the big iron gates. We walk towards the gates and
dad asks Luke to open them. He traces the giant R and the gate and opens, I notice
Luke wipe his finger off on his black shirt. He notices me staring and smiles.
"You need Rosier blood to open up the gate. We have tried to change the enchantment for years now. Who ever came up with the idea knew what they were doing."
"That's barbaric." Said dad as we stated the walk up the drive.
"That's old pure bloods for you. My son is the first Rosier to not be a pure blood. I bet my ancestors are rolling around in their graves." Laughed Luke. "Be warned Athena has turned this place inside out looking for whatever that psycho took from her. So be careful once you enter."
After what seems like forever we reach the front doors. Again Luke touches the door
and it swings open.
"No blood required for this one. Just good old Alohomora did the trick".
"I forget you don't have a use for a wand." I said. "Or Auror Robes."
"It's easier this way, that way if you get captured by the bad guys, they can't use your wand against you, as for robes, again it's easier to run and get away from someone, the tighter your clothes the better, but of course only black or grey is allowed." He relied.
"That makes sense, smart decision, I'm not much of a fan of the robes but it sets us apart. It lets people know we are Aurors." Said dad.
While they talk I look around and sure enough. It looks like a hoard of crazed
Hippogryphs came through here. Pictures have been taken of the walls, sofas are
moved out of their places, most are tipped over, books everywhere, and this is only
the front sitting room. It basically looks like a war zone.
"You weren't kidding about her destroying the place." Said dad.
"We need to find her, I'll use a quick point me spell to locate her." Said Luke.
We start walking towards a part of the Manor that I had never been too. Luke
quickens his pace and soon he's running down the halls. It seems like he's heading
towards some dark place in the Manor. I suddenly feel uneasy about where we are
going. I notice dad has his wand out and I take mine out as well . He looks even more
uncomfortable that I do. We stop suddenly and are facing a long dark corridor. There
are no pictures, the walls are bear, it feels cold and empty. No doors are visible and
suddenly, we see Luke Again touching the blank space in front of us. His face is
confused for a second before he drops his hand.
"Shit!.. Athena! Open the dam door!. I can't open it if you don't allow me too. Harry and Albus are with me! Open up Lee!" Screamed Luke.
"What's wrong Luke. Where are we? I can feel like I walked into a room full of dark magic" said dad uneasily.
"It's because we did, this wing was my uncle Evans wing. This was his study. Only he knew how to open it, all he needed too do was slide his hand on the blank space here and a door would materialize. But it seems to be occupied. The point me spell said Athena is here, but I don't know. Wait hold on a minute. WILLOW!" He called for the house elf and a few seconds later Willow appeared..
"Master Luke, mistress is in her room waiting for you." Squeaked the little elf.
We all stiffen at her response and look towards the empty space.
"Willow, bring Athena here now." Said Luke as calmly as he could.
"Yes Master." She dissaparated and a few seconds later Athena and her apparated back.
"Luke what the hell?. I have been waiting since Willow said the gate had been opened. Why are we here?" Asked Athena.
Her long hair was gone and replaced by a very short style. It looked good on her. She
looked absolutely beautiful. She turned her eyes towards me and I noticed they were
blue instead of grey. Suddenly I realized if she's here, than who is behind the door.
And can they hear us?. Shit what If this isn't Athena?!
I roughly grab her and throw her against the wall. I hear Luke protest and dad holding
him back.
"Albus what the hell?! What is wrong with you?" Yelled "Athena" at me.
"What was the first thing I ever said to you after we watched Rose's memories and we got expelled from the pensive?." I said angrily.
"What? Albus Potter let me go." Said a confused Athena. Her hair once again getting long and blonde. It still didn't convince me she could be using polyjuice.
"Answer the fucken question! And I'll let you go!" I said again forcing harder against the wall.
"You.. You said that If I ever wanted to talk about what had happened that you would understand and that.. You were sorry for my lose.." She said." Now fucken let me go Potter before I blow your fucken head off for this!."
"What was that about?!" Yelled Luke as he rushed to Athena's side.
"I needed to make sure she wasn't an imposter. Since she is here and the point me spell pointed us to her being inside the study, I needed to make sure." I said. " sorry if I hurt you Athena."
She rubbed her wrists and looked away from me." It's fine."
"Athena try and open the door. The study is soundproof from the inside, but we can still hear what is going on outside. Plus no one can escape unless they walk out the door." Said Luke.
Athena walked to the wall and swiped her hand across. Suddenly a door appeared.
She slowly opened the door and both dad and I readied our wands, Athena and Luke
walked in first cautiously, before dad could even perform Homenum Revelio we were
attacked, I saw a flash of red headed towards Luke, but Athena easily blocked it and
grabbed Luke out of the way of another spell.
I couldn't tell where the spells where coming from, it was too dark in the study, dad
was shouting spells in all directions, so was Athena and Luke, even Willow, but she
was just protecting her Masters. I heard a grunt and saw Luke fall to the ground,
Athena and I ran to his side, I awoke him while Athena Managed to light one of the
lamps on the wall and I saw a man, he was dressed in a long blank cloak, his face was
hidden behind the hood. Dad noticed my gaze and looked the same way. Suddenly
the man pointed his wand at me and all I see is a bright flash of green and a lot of
screaming. I felt dead weight fall on me and I felt my head hit something hard,
screaming and yelling were still going on, all I remember seeing were feet passing by
me as I gave into the darknessā¦.
