Chapter 13
"Is that anyway to treat your dear cousin?" Belatrix Lestrange snarled at her cousin and thre rest of the group when she finally got out of the woods.
Sirius and Harry were seething. Sirius even m ore so.
"What do you want Bella?" Sirius tried keeping calm, his wand, as the others aswell, was directed at Bellatrix. He was still holding the pup in his left hand and he saw the other four scan the area to see if any other death eaters were there.
"And what have we here? You finally found a mut just as ugly as you to be your mate!" Bellatrix let out a laugh. Sirius frowned but did nothing except hold on to the pup tighter.
Harry was looking behind Bellatrix with large eyes. He was not the only one who had noticed, Hermione, Remus and Tonks were staring towards the scenario aswell. It was very clear in the shade behind her, the white and blue flames destroying black cloaked figures one by one. At one stage, Harry thought he saw the blond woman standing over one of the heaps of ashes, before she dissapeared again.
"Come now, I come all this way to play and all I get is a mumbling baffoon of a cousin and even a mute Potter?" Bellatrix was trying to anger them. Harry looked back at her and saw red. He was breathing deeply to try calm down.
"Its funny how you are here all alone Bella, you never are brave enough to face any of us alone!" He yelled at her. Bellatrix laughed again, "Why would I be here alone? Somebody has to enjoy the Mudblood and the Metamorphf cousin of mine!" She waited for the others to come, when they didn't, she growled and threw a killing curse at Sirius.
Sirius expected the curse to hit him since he was standing not five feet from the monstrosity known as his cousin, he heard Harry's voice above the others' and he thought that he was a gonner as the light came at him. But before the light could hit, half a tree came barreling between him and the killing curse. The curse shattered the tree, Sirius was kneeling and trying to cover himself and the pup he was still holding onto.
Harry was beyond angry, just as he was about to fire his own curse, a cloaked body fell infront of Bellatrix Lestrange. She snarled as she saw the face of her now dead husband looking back at her. She threw the Crucio spell at random, whilst Sirius and Remus were trying to disarm her. Tonks was standing infront of the two teenagers whilst Hermione pulled on Harry's arm. They didn't need him to get another warning from the Minisrty.
Sirius' eyes grew wide. Behind Bella stood the blonde woman from the market. Her hair seemed like it was blowing in the wind, her blue eyes were glowing a dark blue colour and around her hands, blue flames went up, reaching her elbows.
Bella turned around and just as a ball of blue fire was about to incinerate her, she had apparated away. The blonde woman faced the very shocked group and when her eyes fell on Sirius holding the pup (he held onto that pup for dear life), her hair fell down into its normal state and the fire in her eyes and on her hands dissapeared.
Harry was the first to recover, he held his wand towards her and in the most demanding voice he could muster, he spoke, "Who are you and why shouldn't we kill you right now?" The other four woke up from their trance like state. All four of them, Sirius included, held onto their wands tightly and looked at her.
"If I say I am on your side, you probably won't believe me. So I am going to say it in anyway, because it is the truth." She looked directly into Harry's green eyes. "I am on your side."
Hermione looked back down to the woman's hands and when she noticed they weren't even red from the fire, she looked back up with large eyes, "No way! You are supposed to be a myth!" Harry and Remus looked over at Hermione, Remus' eyes also went wide when he realised what Hermione was on about.
Tonks and Sirius were still watching the woman. Sirius had put down the pup who went running towards the blonde woman.
Sirius was staring at the woman, not sure if he should see her as a friend or as a foe...
"I am sure the two of you can fill the other three in on what you know back at your cottage. I will join you shortly." She said and turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Harry was walking towards her. He was still not so sure about her. But seeing that Hermione and Remus have both lowered their wands, he felt that the least he could do was thank this mystery woman.
She stopped and turned to him. She had a kind smile on her face.
"Yes Harry Potter?" Harry winced.
"Thank you for what you did..." She nodded and turned to leave again when Sirius spoke up.
"Andrea?" She stopped in her tracks. Waiting for him to continue. When he hadn't said anything for a few seconds. She left.
As soon as she was out of sight, Tonks turned on Remus, "Ok now inform the rest of us aswell on who the hell she is!"
Remus and Hermione looked at each other and smiled. Remus motioned for Hermione to go ahead since she was the first one to realise it after all.
"Before Hermione tells you guys, I think we should get away from this scene..." Remus told them and he started to walk down the path leading to their cottage. Hermione pulled Harry's arm to get him going and the other two followed. Sirius was very quiet the whole time.
Andrea paced around her bungalo. The mpment she heard the apparations infront of her, she knew sthere was trouble. She had wished that they didn't have to meet in such circumstances. But what's done is done as her father always said.
She pulled out her wand and magically packed and shrunk her possessions. She picked up Deidre and was about to go to the cottage on the other side of the island, when she noticed a magical storm approaching the island.
"Oh shit..."
The five of them made themselves comfortable in the lounge. In other words,Remus sat next to a ounting Tonks on a love seat, Harry was pacing the room, Sirius stood with his hands and head against the wall and Hermione sat on one of the chairs with her hands folded neatly on her lap.
Remus smiled kindly at her, "Before Hermione starts, can I ask that she speaks without any interruptions?" He looked at Harry and Sirius when he said this. Both nodded, though Harry seemed reluctant to do so.
"According to what I've read, and pro...I mean Remus can correct me if I am wrong, I believe we encountered an elemental guardian..." Hermione looked to Remus for confermation. He nodded at her and she continued.
"Its apparent from the way she used the fire element. Her hands were normal after they were covered in fire, her eyes glowing and the power that was flowing of her in waves." Hermione paused. Sirius was looking a bit green and Harry looked at Hermione with a frown.
"It's said that during an era when there is destined to be a war fought between enemies so great, not even Merlin himself could beat either in a dual. The guardians will come forth and help the one destined to lead the light."
Harry was pale, "The prohecy...?" He looked up at Hermione and she nodded whilst bitting her lip.
"Yeah... Harry... No matter what some bogus seer saw, you are not alone!" Hermione was walking towards got up and left the room, worry and anger evident on his face. Hermione followed after him and when Sirius wanted to go through the door, Remus appeared infront of him to stop him.
"Remus! He needs me! Get out of my way!" Sirius was fuming. Even though he had a deffinately shortened version of what the woman who caught his fancy was, his godson needed him.
"Sirius, give the two of them a couple of minutes alone and then you can go up." Remus forced Sirius backwards to go sit on a couch. Sirius was beyond angry, but before he could force himself past Remus, the blonde woman burst through the front door.
"You all need to pack! We don't have much time!" She looked at them in worry. Her face was pale and her hair was flying around her shoulders. She looked around and noticed Harry and Hermione were missing.
"Where are they?" She yelled, "Where is Harry and Hermione!"
Meanwhile...
Hermione had let herself in shortly after Harry had slammed his bedroom door shut. She sat next to him on his bed and took his hand in her own. She gave it aa little squeeze and then, before she could change her mind, she leaned in to hug him. Harry hugged her back before he stood up and paced the room.
"How? Or I guess the best question is why?" Harry ran his hands through his already messy hair. He felt so lost. He felt angry. Why do more people have to get hurt? Why does he have to be the one that saves the world? Even some mystical powerful, guardian people think he has the the power to defeat Voldemort. He tried putting the prophecy to the back of his mind, but it was getting riddiculous! He can't keep hidding but he also can't let others get hurt!
Hermione was starting to worry. Harry hasn't heard her pleas at all. She walked closer to him till she stood infront of him. When he reached her, he looked up, intent on telling her to go away and leave him alone, when she kissed him.
Harry was caught off guard. But when his body realised Hermione was kissing him, he deepened the kiss. He held her closer to him, his one hand on her lower back and one on her neck. All thoughts of anger and worry, has briefly left his mind.
Unbeknownst to them, a red glow has dawned on a ten yard radius from them. They were still glowing red and kissing when Sirius, followed by Andrea, Remus and Tonks burst through the door. They all averted their eyes and held their hands infront of their eyes. The light from the two teenagers was very bright up close to them.
Andrea looked on with a smile across her face. Even if it really was not the time now to deal with a soul bond, she was still elated that the young couple have finally connected.
Sirius was astounded. He was happy for them, but also worried. He needed to get them to safety. Hell they all needed to get off the darn island!
Remus had a smirk etched on his lips as he held Tonks to his own chest.
When Harry finally pulled away from Hermione to get some air, he looked into her eyes and felt as if he could stay with her in his arms for all eternity. Hermione looked at him and smiled. He wondered how he could ever have been spo blind or rather lately, so stupid to not tell her how he feels. They heard o cough from the door and turned to find four smiling adults looking at them.
The blonde woman, Andrea if he remembered correctly, stepped forward and suddenly the smile was wiped from her face.
"You both need to hurry and get your things, even though I am sure we are all elated at this, I really can't stop a magical storm right now!" Andrea clearly was in a hurry. Harry looked over at Sirius who gave him s sad smile and nodded.
"Come on you two, we all need to get our things and leave. Five minutes then we are all in the foyer!" He turned and left the room, after he gave them his signature smirk. The other three adults also left the room.
"Uh yeah right, we should pack..." Harry ran his hand through his hair again. His hair was sticking in all directions. Hermione nervously laughed but couldn't help thinking he looks cute nervous.
As she left the room, she stopped in the door abruptly.
"A magical storm? HARRY! We need to hurry!" Hermione raced of to her room, calling out for Crookshanks. Harry thought back to some of the lessons he remembered from school. He vaguely remembered somebody mentioning a magical storm and he for one did not remember anything positive. He ran around the room and chucked his belongings into his trunk and put Hedwig in her cage before he made his way down the stairs to find Andrea, Tonks and Remus waiting for him, Sirius and Hermione. Who followed behind him on the staircase.
Andrea held out two plates she had taken from the kitchen after Remus shrunk Harry and Hermione's trunks.
"These will take us to my home in the Welsh Mountains. Please take hold of them." She made sure everybody was holding on. Sirius kept glancing at Andrea, whereas Harry and Hermione were nervously bitting their lips.
Before Harry felt a tug at his naval, he looked at Andrea and asked, "What about the storm and the other people?" What he saw on her face confused him. Somehow he knew the island will be fine, but the storm will be following them. The tug behind his naval came and soon he felt himself falling over, neatly knocking over both Hermione and Hedwig who was hooting angrilly from her cage.
"Well I guess I should say, 'Welcome to my humble abode'..."
Albus Dumbledore sat at his desk. He was beyond exhausted. The last few days has been tiring. He and the rest of the order, aswell as soom trusted ministry employees have been working hard to get more muggles out of the country. Obliviating them to think they have planned moving abroad for a while now.
Muggleborn's parents were put into hidding, same with halfbloods and some purebloods. For now that was what they could do to keep the majority of the population safe until Voldemort has stopped his killing spree.
In the last couple of days there has been a rise in unexplained mureders across the country. It wasn't just the wizards who had casualties. A whole kindergarden was blown into smitherines in London. Plus the Minister wasn't doing such a great job of going after the enemy. Which was to be expected, Fudge would rather blame it on others. Namely Dumbledore.
Atleast Dumbledore knew that if anything had to happen to those who were under the protection that he and the others put on them, they will be able to floo directly to Hogwarts. Minerva had the castle prepared and the elves had a whole wing readied for anything that may possibly happen.
He was looking at Fawkes and about to put a lemon drop in his mouth, when professor Filtwick burst into his office. He stood and went over to the timid little teacher who was clearly exhausted. He had to have been running a distance to be this tired.
"What's the matter professor?" Albus Dumbledore led him to the chair infront of his desk.
The moment he got his breath back, he looked at Dumbledore with wide eyes. "Trewalnery made a prophecy which I heard!"
Dumbledore sat back in his chair. This was unexpected.
"If you would, please relay it to me?"
Lucius Malfoy took another mouthful of firewhisky from his glass. His wife was upstairs in their bedroom getting ready for another night of doing her duty to the Dark Lord. Atleast she believed him when she asked where Draco was. He had told her he was at one or other of his friends' homes. He just hoped that she won't ask around to much, else she would know it was a lie.
He heard her coming down the staircase. He didn't even bother greeting her. Its not like she even acknowledges him. He heard the front door slam shut and he sighed. Taking another swig of his drink before he got up so that he can apperate to see his son. He also made a mental note to put more of his memories behind his mental barrier before he left to go to the meeting later that night.
Voldemort was pacing the room he had made his office. It was once a grand parlour, but now it portreyed doom and evil in every possible way.
He just saw Bella's memories of earlier and he was, honestly, caught off guard. He had no idea who the woman was. All he knew was she was a threat. And threats had to be eliminated. He hoped they enjoyed the little present he sent them.
He turned around when he heard somebody approaching the door. With a brisk knock, he answered, "Enter."
He watched as his one future mother of his child walked into the room. Wearing nothing but a cloak that hung open revealing her naked body underneath. Her blonde hair was pinned up. Her pubis was clean and her nipples hard.
"Master," she greeted and bowed down. He walked over to her. Walking around her. Pulling off the cloak. He wanted to toy with her for a bit before they got busy. After all he had a meeting to run in a little over three hours. A meeting which would hopefully show his followers that he was a step closer to immortality and destroying those who opposed him.
He motioned for her to follow him. They left his office, walked down the corridor and up one flight of stairs. They walked into his room. The only one who saw them once again, was Severus Snape. He smiled as he saw them head up the stairs. Getting quite a delicious view.
He left the main building to go down into the cellars. He past the wune and food storages, to go further into one of the caverns set aside esspecially for potion brewing. He needed to run some more tests on his current potion. After all, he had gotten a request from Dumbledore to make it. He had a weird, off, feeling about it. But he didn't question yet. He needed Dumbledore to trust him.
The twins placed their bags next to the two camping beds they will be using during their visit to Romania. They had arrived a few minutes earlier by International portkey. Charlie had picked them up at the Romanian ministry, them and both Bill and Fleur. So when they got to Charlie's flat near the reserve, they were issued beds and Charlie began making dinner.
"Fred! George!" Bill's voice came from down the hallway. They looked at each other. Knowing they have to tell their brothers and future sister-in-law some bad news. For once, they were not in a joing mood.
Harry and Hermione stood next to each other. Close enough to hear the other one's heart beat, but far enough to not touch. Hedwig sat in her cage which was next to Harry and Crookshanks had taken off after Deidre.
Sirius and the mysterious woman, Andrea, were looking at each other. Sirius had a look of adoration mixed with anger whilst Andrea looked as calm as ever.
"Why did we have to come here? Won't the storm just follow us and destroy this place aswell?" Sirius asked with a bit of a bite in his tone.
Andrea frowned and turned to look out a window next to the door. "This house will withstand much more than a magical storm. I don't understand all the magic that surrounds it, but aslong as it is owned by my family, we are safe." Tonks was about to question her aswell, when Remus turned to look at the two teenagers. He smiled kindly at the two very confused people standing infront of him.
"I believe that, since it appears that we are safe for the time being, that we should atleast try tell these two what we know of Soul Bonds." Remus looked first at Hermione and then at Harry. The two of them were still bewildered after what happened and with being in a house owned by a woman they have not met before a couple of hours ago. Both of them were very much aware of what was happening around them. Harry was looking around the place and at Andrea with a sceptical look. Whereas Hermione was once again thinking of numerous things at a blurring speed.
Sirius came forward and placed his hands on both of them's shoulders.
"I believe we need to sit down and have a nice long chat... Again..." Harry rolled his eyes. What was it with talks lately?
"Sirius, what the hell happened to us? I may look calm, but for some reason my body wants to run the opposite direction of my mind!" Harry said towards Sirius. Looking straight at him with nervous eyes. The only thing keeping him rooted on the spot was his Gryffindor courage.
Sirius smiled at him. "You are handling it much better than what your mother did!"Harry looked at his godfather with large eyes, "What?"
Andrea moved closer to them, not giving Sirius time to reply. "Let's go into the kitchen. We can talk there about both stories and get something to eat aswell." She tried looking at all of them with her kind smile, but she avoided Sirius. As she ushered them to the right, she glanced out one of the front windows. She could see the storm approaching over the surrounding mountains. It was lucky that this was the only residence for quite a distance, else others would have been suffering from this storm aswell. She followed them into the kitchen.
"So anybody for some tea?"
Doctors Granger and Granger had closed their practice early. Most people had already hastilly left for their homes when the emergency bulletin had come over the radio. They found themselves entering their home just as the first golf ball sized hail started to fall.
When they looked outside, they noticed something odd about the coulour of the weather. It was a dark green, and the hail looked more silver than it's usaul white.
Molly Weasley had ushered her two youngest into the Burrow when she noticed the storm approaching. In all her life she had never seen such a storm. As she was closing the front door, she heard Arthur coming in through the floo.
"MOLLY!" He yelled before he saw her coming in through the door leading into the kitchen.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Molly was worried. The last time she had seen Arthur in this state was when he told her he-who-must-not-be-named was back. It couldn't be one of her children! She had just looked at the clock moments ago!
"Good you are inside. Are Ron and Ginny in their rooms?" She nodded and wanted to reply. But he cut her off.
"We just got news that its a magical storm of some sort. It came in from a Greece island and its centering somewhere over the mountains in Wales."
Molly frowned and with a shock, she looked over at her husband.
"Harry was taken to a Greek island by Sirius!"
