Pieces of You
"
People living their lives on T.V
They
say their better than you and you agree...
...Who
will save your soul when it comes to the flower?
Who
will save your soul after all those lies that you told, boy?
Who
will save your soul if you won't save your own?...
...There
are addiction to feed and mouths to pay
So
you bargain with the Devil,
Say
you're okay for today
You
say you love them,
Take
their money and run
Say,
it's been swell sweetheart,
But
it was just one of those things..."
Jewel, Who will save your soul
" Now, I will have to kill you."
screamed Lord Voldemort as if it was a challenge to be met.
" Really nice of you to give us that
warning, usually it's just Watch out for that car! What car? Smash."
Leap's eyes were flying wildly around the room looking for something. She
stepped forward and grabbed Lord Voldemort's pet skull off his desk.
" Say, bye, bye to Mr. Skully."
she said as she lifted the skull high above her head.
" NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
screamed Lord Voldemort as she released the glass letting it hit the floor. He
stood there frozen to the spot.
" You have killed something of mine now
I will kill something of yours. Avada Kedavra." he pointed his wand at
Eirene. She fell limp and lifeless to the ground, her blond hair making a
golden puddle on the floor next to her blacked out body.
Leap met his eyes with a cold and hard
stare, she moved without seeming to move her feet almost floating over to
Harry. She grabbed his arm and walked forward, Voldemort hadn't moved, Leap whispered
in to Harry's ear
" Listen Harry, if there is one thing
that I learned here it is that we are special, you and me. Together we will
alter the balance of power in this world and that starts now. Now follow my
lead."
Suddenly they extended their hands forward
and blazes of light shot out of them reaching forward and striking Voldemort on
the chest, his body shook for about 30 second before it vanished.
" What, how, I don't under...."
began Harry but things began to happen to quickly for him.
Edward ran forward and caught Leap; she lent
into him, letting him supporter. Harry turned and ran toward Hermione she, like
most of the people in the room, looked exhausted both emotionally and
physically. Ron was hugging Ann, Draco was beside Elizabeth seeing if there was
anything to be done for Eirene, but Harry could see from their moistened eyes
that it was hopeless. Hermione was leaning it to him and he was supporting her,
Kat was crying into Elizabeth's shoulder and Draco had his arms around Eliz
Sirius pulled himself out of shock and
grouped everyone together set off down the corridor, with Draco leading. Edward
and Leap brought up the tail.
" Well isn't it funny that Lord
Voldemort was a man." Leap said suddenly
" No, how is that funny," asked
Edward
" I just thought that it was kind of
ironic."
" You, joined that damn feminist cult
didn't you."
" Yes."
" You still going to kill all the men
in the world."
" Yes, but don't worry I've convinced
them to start with you."
" Still the same Leap."
" Yep, still the same bloody annoying
Leap."
" But what happened there I don't
understand." asked Hermione she had to call this over the heads of a
number of people.
" We...um...that is Harry and I,
we...um... we banished Voldemort. He is stuck between this world and the
next." Leap suddenly found it hard to talk and stuttered through this
explanation.
" But, I don't understand, it makes no
sense how could they..." began Hermione but she was cut off by Elizabeth
" This is something I've learned,
something's aren't meant to be explained or understood just taken for
granted."
The conversation did not continue as they
were all too busy trying to keep on their feet along a particularly dangerous
piece of cliff. Just as Edward and Leap stepped off it and on to the walkway
again there was a scream.
Everyone turned around to see that Leap and
Edward where no where to be found.
Draco stepped to the back to investigate.
" Lumos." he called and looked
down in to the pit which was where Leap and Edward had been standing.
" Merlin's Blood." he gasped
looking down at the bodies of Edward Knight and Lily Potter the Second, they
had been impaled on pointed metal poles. There was no chance, they both were
dead, the poles pointed through their bodies, one went through Leap's mouth and
her face was blocked out with blood. One of the poles had gone through Edward's
forehead and Draco could see parts of his brain coming out of the hole in his
head.

The small part gathered around the grave of
Eriene Marie Emily Potter, though they could not see her everyone knew what the
casket held, the sight had not left their minds.
But, it had been Elizabeth who had had the
body recovered when they returned. It was she who had done the hair and makeup
for the deceased. She who had sown up the cut on Eirene's neck, she who had
made the arrangements for the funeral, yet it was Draco who had carried the
bulk of the burden. Draco had, turned off his wand before anyone else could see
what the pit held, he had gotten them out of the lair safely. Edward and Leap's
bodies were never recovered, it was assumed that the pit had been closed o
The dirt splattered the top of the redwood
casket, like so much mud on a floor, Elizabeth felt something, something that
she did not understand. She missed Leap, she had been her closest friend and
she couldn't bury her, something in Elizabeth could not let Leap go, not let
her die. Even as she watched the coffin of Eirene being buried she couldn't let
go of her, like she had let go of Eirene. Elizabeth lifted the scarf from
around her shoulder and wrapped it around her own head and neck, turning from t
Draco watched Elizabeth walk beside him with
his arm around her shoulder, he watched her pale taut face, her red rimmed eyes
and glistening cheeks. The tension in her cheeks was clear, she hasn't let go,
he realized, she can't let go in some deep hidden part of her soul she believes
that Leap is still alive, she believes because she has to, she can't let go
because she's afraid of losing herself too.
Hermione, stood beside Harry dressed in his
best black suit and staring at the grave of cousin, he had barely known. Then
she too starred Eirene's grave till she couldn't, she just couldn't it was too
hard. Instead she looked over at a grieving couple on at bench. She couldn't see
their faces, they were to far for that but their posture showed grief. The
female's black dress covered her from neck to toe and her scarf that was
wrapped around her head and neck covered the rest of her, the only thing visib
Hermione felt a tug at her arm, she turn a
walked with Harry at the end of the line of mourners. As she walked from the
graveside, Hermione like Elizabeth felt no closure from this, like that last
scene had yet to be written. But she told herself that was just wishful
thinking, as she and Harry walked from the grave to the cars waiting, she knew
she wasn't just leaving Eirene behind she was leaving something else behind.
Something else that she could never get back, something that she had lost
forever,
A/N: No that's not the ending yet. My
friends told me that this sucked so I had to re-write it. They still say it
sucks but I'm not re-writing that again the new series should be out in a
couple weeks! Bye, Leap
Editor's Note: I didn't really get a chance
to go over this, so any errors are mine, and do review…she'll shoot you if you
don't…. Thanks, Chinook
