My Notes: Hi everyone! How are you all? Here it is the next chapter. Sorry about the problem with 'My Notes:' last chapter I think I tried to post it about three times. It's very annoying when that happens so I'm writing the author's notes on a word document, saving them and then copying them to don't own Harry Potter or my name wouldn't be C K Brook it would be C K Potter and I wouldn't be single.

Thank you to my amazing beta, Zebra Queen for putting up with my thickness and thanks to Green Waters and Cowabunga (no you weren't being whiney) for reviews. I had no idea that Katie was kinda a Mary Sue and I had no idea what a Mary Sue was!

ENJOY THE CHAPPIE!!!

Harry Potter and the Cousin's Secret

Chapter 13 – Excellent, That Will Make Killing You So Much Easier

The sea air blew hard in they're faces as the landed on the rich green downs of the south east. Spray from the grey sea just over the edge of the cliff pierced their faces. The air was salty and the sky was filled with long, grey clouds, typical of England . They landed near to a cliff face and Harry wandered to the edge of the cliff and looked down.

"Where do you think it is?" he asked Katie.

"Dunno". She looked thoughtful for a moment. "Ahhh, I know, try summoning it".

"But that doesn't work, I tried it in the cave with D-" He took a deep breath and tried again "with Dumbledore".

"With Dumbledore you summoned it and something intercepted the summon of the locket, so something will hopefully happen this time".

"Um, okay". Harry pointed his wand at no-where in particular, Ron and Hermione, who had been admiring the scenery, ran to stand behind him, if that horcrux came they wanted to keep their eyes on it at all times.

"Accio horcrux" the wind blew firstly for a moment, storm like in fact, then it calmed back to being just windy.

"Right… this isn't going to work if we all stand together like this, lets split up, don't go too far though". Katie said.

They began to wander through the low bushes of the South Downs , doing Accio charms every so often.

Eventually Harry could hear nothing of his friends, he glanced around, nope, no one. "Well", he thought. "I might as well try it here and then try and find them". He raised his wand and-

"Ahhhhhhh!!" Hermione's voice gave a piercing scream from not to far off, Harry ran for her.

"Hermione!" He yelled. "Hermione where are you?" That was when he found her, she was backing away from a gigantic snake. It had long fangs and black scales, it was kind of like a snake version of Voldemort (well, more snake-like than him, anyway) that was when Harry recognized it, a flash back happened, he could see a snake slithering around a gravestone that he was tied to, hissing hungrily. Harry ran and stood in front of Hermione, it was his fault that she was here in the first place, he should have gone after the horcruxes without her. It was his fault, and then he heard something.

"How dare they try to find masters things, damn them humans, that boy should be dead" She hissed, talking about Harry. "Master promised him to me". She went to lunge and sink her fangs in Harry's chest but a spell hit her in the face.

"Leave him alone you bloody serpent!" yelled Ron advancing on her with a wand, she lunged at Ron, just in time Harry ran and threw himself in front of his best mate, the fangs would have hit him and if it hadn't been for Katie, who appeared just in time to throw the snake off Harry's path with a banishing charm.

Nagini lay still for a second and the four teens grouped together and Harry hissed.

"She's a horcrux; watch out for her fangs, I think they're poisonous!"

"That's the bloody snake that got dad, isn't it?"

"Yeah", Katie muttered, her wand trained on the snake.

Ron gritted his teeth, the snake hissed hungrily at Harry who had a very angry face, he hissed in return.

"Harry, what did it say?" Hermione's voice quivered.

"It said that I should go to it, it wants to eat me".

"Why you?" Ron asked.

"Voldemort promised it my dead body to eat, once he had killed me in the graveyard".

"What did you say back?" Hermione whispered.

"I told her that if she wants to eat me then should come and try to take me".

"What! She can't move?" Katie said in a loud whisper.

"Don't think so".

Ron hurried forward.

"This is for hurting dad", and he raised his wand and roared- "Avada Kedavra!" The snake was hit and it fell to the ground.

Harry ran to the snake, he said to the others.

"Thanks Ron, just to make sure". And he pointed his wand at the snake's body. "Incendio!"

The body was ablaze in seconds when the piece of Voldemort flew at them and began to throw curses at them.

"Avada Kedavra!" Katie yelled and the spirit disappeared, they flopped down onto the floor but Hermione remained standing.

"There's the horcrux!" she said pointing at a cup

"Another one?" said Katie tiredly. "I really can't be bothered at the moment". She lay back and closed her eyes, and then another voice hissed behind them.

"Excellent, that will make killing you so much easier…"
