Chapter 9: Lily's New Power

Oww. My head feels terrible. Did someone drug me? Yes, definitely. So it was a trap. My vision's all fuzzy. My vision cleared and I could see that I was strapped to a chair in a dark room. I listened to the dripping water. The chair creaked as I shifted.

"Is she awake?" a female voice asked. The voice chilled me to the very core.

"Y-yes your Magnificence." a stuttering man answered.

"Bring her here."

Someone dragged the chair.

"Draco, light the lamp."

The striking of a match was heard. A masked figure lit the candelabra. The woman rose. She stepped forward.

"Are you sure this is the right one?"

"It has to be, your Magnificence," the man said tiredly.

"Your son will know. Thor!"

"Yes, your Magnificence?"

"Bring the boy."

I tossed and turned.

"I don't want to stay here, I want to go home!"

"Shut up, brat!" said the woman.

Someone opened the door, then closed it quickly.

"I have the boy."

"More lights!"

Thor placed the candles around me.

"You!" I exclaimed.

Mystique - the woman who trapped James, Carla, Lysander, Albus, and I in the the Mirror. The woman who killed Uncle Charlie. She smiled triumphantly.

"Have we met? You, tell me if it's her."

The boy came closer. For the second, and not the last time that day, I felt like fainting.

The Boy

Was

Scorpius

Malfoy

(A/N- End of chapter! Not really, I'm not that cruel. Okay, on with this oh so compelling story.)

"I, child, want you to do something for me," she said.

"Actually, um, I think I hear my laundry calling. Bye!" I struggled with the chair.

"No! Before you leave, let me tell you a story."

Once upon a time there was a little girl left outside a house in a casket. The family of the house took her in, and she became the son's companion. The girl was a witch and she excelled at magic. One day when the girl, named Bianca and the boy anmed Godric were playing in the garden, they tamed the two element fire and lightning. Their parents saw lightning strike and were afraid for the children, but they ran outside and saw the children with the twin fields of lightning and fire floating around them. At once they took the children to a wise man. He told the parents to wait for an arrival from the east when the sun rose. One day, when both children came of age and they were watching the sunrise, the other children from the east appeared. The boy was named Salazar and he controlled water. The girls, Helga and Rowena controlled earth and air. Together the five founded a school for magical children, named Hogwarts. At was well, until one day Godric announced that he and Helga were getting married. Bianca and Godric had been betrothed from birth, and the two began to argue. Bianca sent a lightning bolt at Godric, which activated his wards, and sent a giant fireball flying. Bianca never forgot the incident and began to grow inwards. Two years later, Salazar announced Rowena as his chosen bride. Bianca, who loves Salazar, attacked him in the night then fled Hogwarts, vowing never to love again. Five years later, utterly transformed, she led fifteen men and fifteen damsels under the Imperius Curse, her own creation, to help her slaughter the students. The blood poured like water. Like a lioness with her kill, she stood up.

"I win," she said savoring the taste of victory on her lips.

"No, sister! This has gone too far!"

"NAY!" Bianca screamed. Then she spoke a word. A horrible word. And Godric's eyes widened. Together the other four cast a spell to take her power and to trap her in the Mirror of Erised where the bodies of her victims lay.

Bien smiled and said : '' You, you have the ancient box of the Founders. I have the Goblet. Together, they make the Pair."

"How?"

"The box contains dust, the Dust of Power. Your wand, it is the twin of mine.

"Twin of yours?"

"Your wand is Holly and Phoenix Feather, am I correct?"

"Yes. "

"Well, one particular phoenix, Fawkes, gave only four feathers. One resided in Voldemort's wand, one in your father's, one in mine, and one in yours."

"So, how am I supposed to help you? I mean, you're the Fifth Founder and all, right?"

She paused.

"I will tell you why exactly I need you."

She settled into a squashy, red armchair.

"Once, there were Five Houses of Hogwarts, and the House of Bien were the greatest. For only the purest, most clever, and most cunning witches and wizards resided in Bien. But of all the Five Founders, only Salazar shared my views. To be exact, only a few of them. For he accepted the filthy Half - Bloods and an occasional Mudblood. The rest, especially Rowena, who hated my beauty and intelligence, spread rumors, and banished me, destroying my powers. I had to burrow deep into myself for a thousand years before finally starting to rebuild my powers. After years of searching, I paid a terrible price for the box and the goblet. Then your father and his blubbering bunch of Aurors stole the box and gave it to Hogwarts. Sadly for them, your brother stole back for me. Not exactly for me, but now the box and the Heir could be drawn in together - "

"What'd you mean by 'Heir' ?" I asked.

" The True Heirs of Slytherin were Voldemort, your mother, and lastly, you."

"Maybe Voldemort was, but my mum and I are Gryffindors." I stated firmly.

"She came from a family of purebloods. In 1992, it was she who unleashed the power of the Basilisk and set it on the students of Hogwarts."

"Carry on with the story," I said irritably, "And why would you need me?"

"Two Heirs are needed to control the magic, one to break it, one to bind it. You are very rare. Especially since your mother was also a heir."

"What's the whole point of being a Heir?"

"There are two kinds of Heirs. One is a True Heir, one is a Blood Heir. True Heirs, like you and I, are more powerful than Blood Heirs, like your mother and Voldemort. True Heir's can use strong wandless magic, and extremely powerful magic with wands. Once they controlled the Elements, but I scattered their brethren to the four winds. Blood Heirs can control the magic, but their wandless magic is very weak."

"So, you want to take over the world?"

"Yes. But, first, I shall have revenge. Will you help me? I will give you riches, money, clothes, all you wish," Bianca said greedily.

I thought. About Bianca. And how much power she'd have. That was dangerous in the wrong hands. In any hands. No. I couldn't. It was too much power. Not - not after Uncle Charlie. I still live that moment. The nightmares haunted me for years

I cleared my throat..

"No."

Bianca clenched her fist so tight that her perfect skin looked as if it would snap.

"You shall die! This is but a hindrance to me! I shall find another more willing!"

She slammed a hourglass down on the table, turned with a rustle of robes, and left.


The hourglass was almost empty, and I was still bound to the chair. My wrists were red and raw, with horrific welts on them. I focused on the ropes. Snap there! I told them. The ropes fell, useless, to the ground. I stood up, and dashed the hourglass to pieces on the floor. Just then, the door flew to pieces. In the doorway, stood Rose, Albus, James, and Hugo.

"I told you she'd be alright!" Rose said, but there were tears in her eyes.

James hugged me.

"Ouch, careful," I said.

"Lily, I'm sorry," James said, holding my wand. It was broken. I began to sob.

Rose looked at my wrists and pointed her wand at them.

"Espiskey."

'' Let's get going," Hugo said.

Loud footsteps were heard.

"Run!" yelled Albus.

We ran.

Dementors and Inferi ran after us. Rose was trembling.

"Expecto Patronnum. EXPECTO PATRONNUM!" she yelled.

Nothing happened. I pointed James's wand at the Dementors.

"EXPECTO PATRONNUM!'' I screamed.

A silver doe burst from the wand. My first Patronnus.

"Run, Lily, we have to run!" Albus yelled, flashing in and out of his Dog Animagus.

"Rose, you've got to do your transformation!"

"I can't! I told you."

Rose changed into a race horse, and James into his stag

"Jump on!" Albus screamed frantically.

Bianca stood up.

"YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE!"

I raised my hand, and two stone pillars crashed to the floor, blocking Bianca. As we reached a stone gargoyle, I raised my hand again, and water came spurting out.

"We're trapped!" Hugo yelled.

I raised my hand, and the wall crashed down. We galloped into the night.

"Hugo, where's the box and the goblet? Oh no, I'm so stupid..."

"Lily, they're right here," Hugo said. I saw the objects in his hand and relaxed a little.

James, Albus, and Rose changed back into human form.

"What do we do now?" James asked, "Go home?"

"No," I said, "We're going to Hogwarts. I have a magical artifact to return."


Five teenagers emerged out the tunnel under the Whomping Willow and burst through the great double doors to the entrance of the Great Hall. Professor McGonagall looked up.


Big cliffie there. Two chapters for this story and it's finished!
