The door was slammed shut as Sevari broght down her knife. The men were helpless to Hermione and Sevari as they attacked the door physically, magically and even verbally. There was no way getting in with the type of force field that was in place.
Hermione held her eyes on Sevari as she brought the knife down to strike her. Hermione knew she would be hurt but she would quickly heal. She stayed still to see if her daughter was strong or too far gone to take control of her body. The knife came gleaming down yet never touched Hermione. The knife stopped less than half an inch from her forehead.
"Mommy." Sevari whimpered as the hand with the knife was starting to shake. "Help me. Help me, please." Sevari cried out as the knife clattered to the floor and threw herself to her mother. Sevari's body was cold to the touch, her skin pale as ever and sweat beaded down her face. Hermione just enclosed Sevari to her body and held her with pride sweeping through her body. 'She was able to resist him. I'm so proud of you.' Hermione thought as smoothed down Sevari's hair, rubbing comforting circles on her back and shushing her just to relieve the crying girl. "I'm sorry Mommy. I don't know how you can love a weak girl like me." Sevari cried out harshly as Hermione enveloped her even tighter as her heart ached the way her daughter thought herself weak.
"Sevari." Sevari must not have heard her as she kept sobbing.
"Sevari." Hermione said forcefully in hopes of distracting her daughter to stop crying and look up at her.
"You are not weak."
"Yes, I am. If I had been stronger then I wouldn't have aloud that man to hurt you. I would not have nearly hurt you with the knife." Sevari whispered harshly as a new wave of sobs wracked her body.
"No. You are strong. You stopped him before you could hurt me with the knife. You should have come to me or someone you could trust to tell them what was going on with you. If you are ever bothered by someone that wants to cause harm, you are to immediately tell me or your father. Do you understand?" Hermione spoke as she stopped Sevari's oncoming sobs. Receiving a small nod from her daughter,
Hermione looked at the curtains and waved them open. Sun came pouring back into the room as if Good conquered Evil. Hermione stood up with her tired daughter and made her way towards the door. She arrived at the door to find she couldn't open the door with magic, considering she might wake Sevari and her arms were filled. Hermione juggled around for a few seconds before finally pushing Sevari on her left hip and using her right hand to jiggle the door knob, till the door opened. Hermione was met with a frightened Severus, Lucius, and Thyme.
Hermione met them with a look of grave news as she spoke only a few words. "I need to take her to the chamber." Hermione announced as she swept from the room with an unconscious daughter in her arms. Severus and company were easily taken out of the stupor and ran to catch up to her. Severus was in the lead and saw her hair whipping around a corner as she turned.
"Hermione." He came right up to her and saw that she was having a hard time holding Sevari. Severus took her from her arms and asked what she was doing.
"I'm taking her to the chamber. Father can you go get Sebastian and bring him along with my mother and Maraible as well. Thyme can you go get dad and have him meet us down in the chamber. Bring Harry and Draco as well." Hermione barked out orders, expecting them to be followed with out questioning which was done.
"Severus help me take her down. You will find out everything when we get there with father and Sebastian with us." Hermione pleaded as she beckoned Severus to follow her. He stayed stock still, not doing anything.
"How do I know you are really Hermione?" Severus asked suspiciously.
"You found out I was pregnant after you came looking for me at Father Lucius' house." Hermione answered only to be held in a critical eye. Severus began to walk towards her saying 'lead the way, love.'
3333333333 In the Chamber
(Tom, Lucius, Sebastian, Thyme, Atri, Draco, Harry, and Maraible enter).
They spotted Hermione and Severus standing in front of the pool like structure with Sevari in Severus' arms. Not much had changed in the small amount of time that had passed. The statues still stood firm and in place, the water looked a little dirtier and a few snakes lingered here and there. Maraible took in the scenary as she walked and would occasionally move closer to Lucius when she saw the few snakes.
"What are we doing done here, you two?" Tom asked as he held young Sebastian's hand as well as Lucius holding Sebastian's as well.
"We are here to bless the children. We never did it when they were children and it needs to be done now. A little while ago, Sevari tried attacking me with a knife." a few gasps were emitted as Hermione continued. "Her body was taken over to reveal red eyes and a dark aura around her. The possessor was intent on hurting me. Sevari broke through and told me that she has been dealing with this invader for sometime now. As soon as I got her to calm down, I immediately thought about blessings. Blessings were done centuries ago to protect family from becoming controlled after the Imperius curse was created." Hermione explained as she walked towards Sebastian.
"Why are we here Hermione?" Draco asked.
"Severus and I are going to bless them and we need family to be here as witness'." Hermione announced as she still some confusion on their faces. "It's is tradition for family to be here. Draco you are here cause you and I share a blood bond same with father. Your spouses are also considered family. Even though you and Harry aren't married, you do share a life bond. Same with you Mada. You are married to my brother. Mom and Dad are here not just because their family, but if anything happens to us they would take guardianship over our children." Hermione finished.
"Hermione you should call your Great-Grandfather." Severus suggested. Hermione looked up to him and smiled. Stepping up to the pool, she held out her left hand. Bringing her right hand up having it glow a red color before whipping past her palm. A thin, long cut bleed as she held her hand out over the water.
The blood fell as if in slow motion. The water just seemed to absorb the blood in its natural state. Nothing physical was happening. Lucius was about to ask what was supposed to happen, until he saw the water ripple as if it had a heart. The beating ripples slowly speedup till the water resembled an out of control sea. Water began to rise in front of the couple and their two kids to take the shape of a body. Robes began to become corporeal as skin began to appear out of no where and soon stood the famous Salazar Slytherin.
"Salazar Slytherin." Tom gasped out as everyone looked on in astonishment at seeing one of the four founders.
"Ahhh. It's been a while since I saw you last Granddaughter." Salazar took an appreciative glace at his Hermione. "You grew your hair out. You look older, more mature, more experienced. I must say being Headmistress suits you well." Salazar became victorious as Hermione blushed from the compliments.
"Now lets have a look at everyone." Salazar said as he stepped off of the water to the stone floor. "Severus. Head of Slytherin. Feared Potions Master. Tormentor of Gryffindors. Husband to my lovely Granddaughter. Father to my Grandchildren." Salazar said this as he circled the Potions Master. Trying to give him a little intimidation but failing. "I believe you are one of the few that has my absolute respect. You take care of my house, my family and won't back down for anything. My Granddaughter chose well."
"Tom and Atri. Haven't seen you guys in a few years. The years have been good to you."
"Thyme. Tough, unbreakable, loyal, and respective. Qualities for a successful life."
"Lucius Malfoy. You are truly a living, breathing example for Slytherin's. You took no crap and went to great lengths to save those you love. I'm extremely grateful for all you've done for my daughter. Along with you Draco. You protected or and gave her strength when she needed it most."
"Harry Potter. Harry Potter. What can I say about you? You may have screwed up when you were younger but seeing how you got on my Granddaughters good side and her pleas to leave you alone is what kept you alive during your time here as a student. Good luck to you and Draco with your child as well as you, Thyme with your lovely wife."
Salazar finished. Walking back over to Hermione and Severus. "Now how about I bless my Grandchildren."
Salazar moved back and moved his hands some and Hermione and Sevari were dressed up in a traditional, forest green dress that went to the floor, spaghetti thin straps with the crest for Slytherin mid back, with their hair pulled up into a lily crown.
(a/n you know how little girls are. They'll make that weird crown like halo thing with the flowers woven in to the creation and prance around like princesses.)
Severus and Sebastian were decked out in deep, forest green robes almost as if it was a poncho for the rain. Nothing fancy about them except for the Slytherin crest on the back to signify their ancestry.
"Hermione get on the far right and grasp Sevari's right hand. Sevari grasp Sebastian's right hand with your left. Severus grab her left hand with yours. Good. Now relax." Salazar ordered as he came to walk in front of them.
"I bless this family,
I wish them protection,
Bless them fully
Keep them from destruction.
Salazar began to slowly circle them as he pulled out a bag. Bringing his hand to extract a green powder, cascading it over the small family.
Let their love bloom,
Let loyalty reign,
Keep them from doom,
Through hurt and pain.
Salazar came to stand in front of them holding out his hands. Four stones were conjured. Taking the four stones, Salazar began placing them around the family's neck and putting an unbreakable material to keep them in place. After placing the last one of Hermione, he went back to Sevari and kissed her on her forehead same with Sebastian, sealing his blessing.
Show these witnesses the bond
Never let it be gone."
Everyone smiled at the family as they were finally blessed with a peaceful life. Everyone watched as Salazar disappeared. Hermione and Severus were the first to move carrying their children out of this sanctuary.
