"Snape, we meet for the first time. I will let you go if you leave right now." "Never," Severus glanced at Theresa, "I won't let Theresa die without a fight." Severus had only one way not to be afraid of Voldemort's sword; he pretended Voldemont was James. Severus continually attacked Voldemont. Finally after about 2 hours, Dumbledore walked down the hall. As Voldemort glanced at Dumbledore, Snape slit Voldemort across the chest. Severus had many wounds on him and so did Voldemort. Voldemort left at the sight of Dumbledore's threatening sword. When Voldemort left, Severus passed out onto the floor. Three days later, Severus woke up in the Hospital Wing. He was still so tired he couldn't even open his eyes. "I found Severus, he defeated Voldemont. I think Godric helped him. Yet, I found Theresa too late. I afraid that the Heir of Gryffindor will meet the others sooner then she thought." "Heir of Gryffindor?" "Yes, Theresa is the heir." "I never knew that she was the heir. I thought that only the older people were chosen." "Well, Theresa was.... Severus!" "Professor, is Theresa ok?" "No, I'm afraid, since the Heir of Slytherin wasn't killed, the Heir of Gryffindor was killed." Dumbledore looked at the ground and tried to hold back the tears. The Head Master was trying to console Dumbledore. "Professor, think about the students." "Yes." "Professor, please, is there anything you can do for her?" "Well, there is one thing. I haven't tried that magic for a while." Dumbledore took out his wand and held it to the sky. A beam of light came down onto the wand. As he said something under his breath, "Theresa, please come back to us." He pointed the wand at Theresa's heart and the beam of light went into Theresa. She still didn't move. Severus walked over to Theresa. He sat on the edge of her bed and grabbed her hand. It was cold. Her lips had turned purple, he leaned over to kiss them and, she woke up. She woke up to the sight of Severus kissing her. He suddenly pulled away from Theresa and saw her smiling face. He smile back and they kissed again. Just then, James, Sirius, Remus, Lily and Pete walked in. Sirius was just about to lunge at Severus when, Dumbledore grabbed him by his neck and pulled him back. James just smiled at Theresa and Severus. Just then, Theresa broke from the kiss. She smiled at Severus and took his hand and put it in her hand. She fell asleep with Severus's hand in her's. The next day, Theresa was let out of the hospital for one reason; Dumbledore wanted her out because the Head Master had come down with something. "Albus? Is that you, old boy?" "Yes, sir, I brought Theresa with me. You did say that you wished to speak with her, right?" "Yes, yes. Leave me with her." Dumbledore left the office but Theresa grabbed his arm before he made it out the door. All Dumbledore said was, "It isn't bad, Theresa." Theresa gave a sigh and walked up to where the Head Master was lying on his bed. "Sir, what do you wish of me?" "Gryffindor, that is your name, correct?" "It's Theresa, sir." "My dear, I was best friends with the previous heir. I wanted to speak with you to calm your fears." "Sir, what did he mean by, 'Gryffindors will be great once again' ?" "Dear, Godric won the 'war' between Salazar and him. You know that, right?" Theresa nodded her head and sat down next to him. She put her hand on his. He was trembling. "He was telling you that you must win the next war between Gryffindor and Slytherin. You will be the hero of the war for our side." Head Master Black grabbed his stomach and looked at Theresa. She was very suprised at his next statement. "My dear Heir, you must defeat Voldemort. If you don't, no one will be safe. Dear.... please get Professor Dumbledore." Theresa stood up and ran out the door. She soon found Dumbledore and told him to see the Head Master. By the time Theresa and Dumbledore went into the room, they were almost too late. "Dumbledore, I want you to be the next Head Master. Dear boy, be strict and protect Theresa. You must! She holds the key to Voldemort's power and...." "Head Master?" Dumbledore and Theresa spoke at the same time. There was no response. Theresa just looked at the dead head master and then looked at Dumbledore. "Head Master, Professor Dumbledore?" "Dear? I can't become the new head master. I really don't think he wanted me to because...." There came a loud sound in the hall outside the room they were in. Dumbledore pushed Theresa behind him and went to the door. "Severus!?" Severus ran into the room Theresa and Dumbledore were in. "What happened, Severus?" "Professor, Voldemort is in the school! He was asking where the 'blasted Gryffindor' was." Theresa gasped at the insult and grabbed her sword. "Theresa," Dumbledore grabbed Theresa's arm before she could get out of the room and pulled her back, "if you remember, dear, you are only a first year and you don't know all the tricks that can be performed with that thing." Dumbledore pointed at the sword. "You're right." Theresa said with a sigh. Just then, "Gryffindor, please come out!" Theresa felt a lump in her throat as Dumbledore looked at the ceiling then, looked at Theresa. She also felt a single tear roll down her face when, "Theresa, if you come out of your hiding place, I'll let all your little friends go." She also felt Dumbledore try to grab her as she walked out of the door. She saw him, he had a cloak on that was torn. She saw the rest of the staff behind of him. Most were on the floor, out of breathe. Voldmort locked eyes with Theresa and didn't know how to attack this enemy. Theresa felt a tug on her wand and took it into her hand. Voldemont started laughing, "Go ahead, I'll give you one free shot at me." Theresa heard a phrase being said over and over in her, 'Get out of the way, Theresa. I don't want to hurt you!' Theresa backed over to her left side and a beam of light appeared from behind Theresa. "You! You are just a teenager. How?" Theresa tried to run away from Voldemont but, felt the floor reach up and grab her legs. "Professor!?" All the teachers heard the scream of the frightened student and ran to her. "Help!" She fell through the floor and landed on this hard surface. "What in the....? Hello? Is anyone here?" "Who dare come down here?" "I am Theresa Rothoerd." She thought that if she said that she was the Heir of Gryffindor they might attack her. "Well, hello, Gryffindor." "How did you know I'm a Gryffindor?" "I didn't. But, I know now." "Man, I'm always tricked by that one. Anyway, where am I?" "You are under the school. How did you get down here?" "I fell through the floor." Meanwhile.... "Where did she go?" Dumbledore was half begging Voldemont. All the teachers had him pinned down. "I don't know! How many times do I have to say it! Hey, give that back to me now!" James had taken Voldemort's wand. As he held it in his hand, his brain told him that if he gave it back to Voldemort, all the people he loved would be killed with it. Yet, he gave it back when all the teachers let Voldemort up. "Thank-you, James. If I ever get powerful, I want you to be my right-hand man." With that, Voldemort vanished. Back with Theresa.... "Come here, dear, let me look at you." Theresa walked into the little light that shone from the roof of this.... well....sort of....building. "Oh my word! You are a great Gryffindor. I can tell it in your eyes. The violet is the color for the true Gryffindors. As the stranger walked into the light, Theresa gasped. She was extremely beautiful. She had dark hair, dark eyes, and was wearing a cloak that said, 'Student that couldn't fit in ONE house. Will be great one day.' "Did you not go to Hogwarts?" "No, they said I didn't belong to one house and cast me aside. It was horrible. I have been plotting my revenge for years! I have the perfect moment to strike." "NO! You can't! All my friends are here. I won't let you!" The stranger looked at Theresa like she was crazy. "How?" "I am the Heir of Gryffindor!" The stranger looked, again, like she was crazy. "Look, I have proof!" Theresa reached into her pocket and got the Stone of Gryffindor. It shown with a light that was blinding. "Wow! What is that thing?" "The Stone of Gryffindor. Will you stop, now? Will you, also, tell me how to get out of here?" "Yes, I'll stop. All you have to do is tap this and you'll go straight up." Theresa tapped the wood that she said to tap and she started to float. "Wow! See ya later, friend!" "See you, Gryffindor!" Theresa went straight through the floor and fell on the top side of the floor. "I'm sorry, we can't find her, Prof.... I mean Head Master Dumbledore." There was a tear in the young teacher's face. Theresa looked up and saw that it was the professor of potions. Professor Redmonvile, that was her name. "That's alright," there was a tear in his eye too, "you are excused." Theresa got up and felt the weakness hit her. She fell back to the floor. "Who is it, there!?" Both professors ran out of Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore bent down and sat on the floow next to Theresa. Shewrapped her arms around him. "Theresa! You scared us half to death!" "Sorry! I was under the school." "That's alright. You ok?" "I don't know. I have fallen a lot lately." Professor Redmonvile laughed under her breathe and looked at Dumbledore and expected him to laugh also, yet, he didn't. "Theresa, you are cut." He pointed at her forehead. "Oh, well, do the guys think I'm dead?" "I think so. Do you want to tell them otherwise or do you want me to?" "Please take me up to the Hospital Wing and tell all of them to come up there and I'll tell them what happened. You can come if you want to." "Count me in." Dumbledore picked Theresa up and walked up to the Hospital Wing. Professor Redmonvile quietly started back to her potions room. "James, Sirius, Remus, Peter and Lily?" "Yes, Professor Dumbledore." The mood in the Gryffindor Commonroom was solemn. All the Gryffindors were upset over the loss of one of their own. "Come with me. Have any of you seen Severus?" James spoke up, "Yes, I saw him looking around for Theresa. I told him that he could come into own common room but, he refused and said... What was is Remus?" "He said that he wouldn't stop looking for her for the whole world of riches." Dumbledore looked at the small group he had with him and smiled. They were all so sad and they didn't have to be and they wouldn't be in a few minutes. But, to make it all work, they had to find Severus. Then, "I hate myself. How could I let this happen? I love the girl more then anything else in the world, yet, I let this happen to her!" "Severus!?" "Professor Dumbledore? What do you want?" Severus ran up to where Dumbledore was standing. Dumbledore looked into the hopeful eyes of Severus and had to tell him, "Severus, I have to tell you something about Theresa." "Yes professor, is she ok?" "Maybe, but I can tell you that you probably won't find her out here since she fell through the floor, dear boy." Dumbledore had to retain delight and laughter. "Oh, well, what do you want, professor?" "You all should come with me, I have a surprise for all of you." They all followed Dumbledore up the long and winding steps. Finally, they came to a halt at the doorway to the Hospital Wing. Dumbledore paused and looked at his audience's sad faces one last time. "Surprise!" As Dumbledore said the word, he threw the door open. There on a bed was Theresa's body. It was still and limp. Severus went over to Theresa and put his hand on her forehead then, bent down to kiss her. Yet, when he kissed her she kissed him in return. He backed away to see Theresa smiling at him and the small group that was essembled. "Theresa! You're alive! Yeah!" The group of 6 ran on to the bed and hugged Theresa. She had never felt so loved. Not even when Severus kissed Theresa on the cheek the first time had she felt so loved. For the first time in her life, she had people who actually cared if she lived of died. That whole night was spent listening to the story of how she had a brush with death and lived to tell about it. She did spice things up a bit, of course. The part about the dragon and the troll were added in to keep the boys interested, yet, she still talked about the woman with no school, the woman with no name, the one who would be great! "How is that possible, Head Master Dumbledore? How can someone have no school?" "It is a very rare occurance but sometimes it happens. About 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. It means that someone will be a very good witch or wizard. Yet, they do get made fun of sometimes because, they have the talent but can't be in the school." The students were very confused, yet, they shook there heads to make it look like they understood. "Oh my goodness! Look at the time! I have to, um, professor?" "Oh my dear boy, um you guys stay here and you, Remus, come with me!" Remus and Dumbledore ran down the stairs and ran outside. After about one minute, James broke the silence. "I think that there is something up with Remus, don't you Sirius?" "Yeah. You, Lily?" "Yeah. You, Pete?" "Yeah. You, Theresa." "Ok. You all are starting to frighten me. I've never seen anything unusual." "He always is leaving. I don't know. He always makes up excuses, we can tell they are made up." "Theresa, I think he might tell you. Will you ask him tomorrow?" "Sure, Sirius. If he tells me anything personal, though, I won't tell you." All at once said, "OK." The group, slowly, left the room. Theresa just closed her eyes to fall asleep when, "Theresa, are you sleeping, yet?" Theresa rolled her eyes and walked up to the window that the voice was coming from. "James, what are you doing? You are going to get into sooo much trouble." "It's ok. I thought of something." "What is it, James?" "Before you fight Voldemont, you could....." "Potter! What are you doing out here?" The voice of Professor Cherimonta rang through the night and put chills up James's spine. "Well, um...." Theresa saw that he wasn't good at lying so she 'accidently' fell out of the window. She was caught by James. "Theresa? What just happened?" the professor said sweetly to Theresa. "I'm sorry I was just so weak and so upset that I was going to jump out of the window but, James was going to catch me. As you can see, he did." "James, you are a hero. Twenty-five points for Gryffindor." He left the scene and as he did, James and Theresa started to laugh. "Thank-you, Theresa. You really saved me." "You are such a bad lier. I have to teach you some tips." Theresa got out of James's arms and began to climb back up the wall to her bed until, "Theresa! You could ask Dumbledore for tips on how to fight Voldemont." Theresa almost fell back down the wall at this. "You know, you are right." Theresa was just about to reach the window when James had to leave. "See-ya tomorrow, James." "Good night, Theresa." As Theresa put her hand up to go into the window when, someone grabbed her hand. Theresa was so scared, her legs and one hand let go. She was dangling by her one hand. "Theresa, you could help me a bit." In the darkness, she thought it was Dumbledore but, she soon saw that it was Remus. "Theresa, I can't hold you forever!" Theresa climbed the rest of the way up to the room. "Remus? What is wrong?" "I can't stay for long, Theresa. Remind me to tell you something tomorrow." Remus got up and looked out the window. Theresa got up and followed him. "The moon is being hidden by the clouds." As the clouds were just about to let the moon be shown, Remus threw Theresa against the wall and jumped out the window. "What are you doing?" Theresa looked out of the window and saw that Remus was changing in front of her eyes. He was changing into a....dog? No, that wasn't right. It had to be, it had to be, "A WEREWOLF!!!" She saw the eyes of the creature turn her way. "Go away! Remus! Wait!" Theresa had learned that if she wanted to do something, with the help of the Gryffindor Stone, she could do it. Theresa jumped out of the window and turned into a large cat-like creature. The werewolf and the cat circled for about an hour. Soon, Dumbledore's sleepy body made its way on to the field and came across the silent war. "Remus?" The werewolf turned his head to Dumbledore. He made a lunge at Dumbledore, and Theresa protected him. "Theresa? How did you..." Theresa was attacked by the werewolf and slashed across the head. "Theresa? Is that you?" The cat looked at Dumbledore and made a slight smile. Theresa lunged at Remus and chased into the Forbiddin Forest. In the morning.... "Theresa? Remus? Where are you?" James, Severus, Lily and Dumbledore were looking for Theresa and Remus the next day. Meanwhile.... "Man, what happened last night? Why is there blood everywhere?" Remus got up and noticed the body next to him. "Who is......? Theresa!" He bent down and put his arms under Theresa's head. He noticed the large gash on head. It ran from her brow down to the tip of her mouth. "Theresa?" He noticed the voices in the forest echoing. "James! Professor!" Meanwhile.... "This way, professor! Remus?" As James, Lily, Severus and Dumbledore came upon Theresa and Remus, Dumbledore gasped. He picked Theresa up into his arms and shook Theresa lightly. "Theresa? You ok?" "Theresa, please wake up." Severus said from behind Dumbledore. The kind professor looked at Theresa with a smile when, she woke up and stared into his eyes. "Thank-you, Theresa, you protected me and I'll never forget your kindness." "That's ok, professor, I had to." Theresa tried to get up and look heroic but, it didn't work, she just fell into the arms of Severus. "Hello, my love." "Hello, Theresa. Are you ok?" "Yes, could you help me into the Girls' Domitory for right now?" "Sure." Severus helped Theresa into the Gryffindor House and up the stairs to the Girls' Domitory. "Here you are. Don't talk! No talking! Sleeping!" Severus kissed Theresa on the forehead and left. In the Common Room.... "I don't know what we are going to do about that cut." "Where did it come from? Do you know, Remus?" "I don't remember much about last night." Remus looked James dead in the eyes and lied. Dumbledore knew and he knew. The others didn't. He didn't want to lose his friends over this. He ran up the stairs, crying. "Remus?" Severus came down the stairs now. "Where did she get that cut from?" "We don't know, Severus." James and Severus thought that entire day about the happenings of that night. There were so many questions and only two people to answer them, Remus and Theresa. Theresa was out cold in the Gryffindor Girls' Domitory and Remus wasn't going to spill the beans about anything. "Come on, Remus! I promise I won't laugh." "This one is too important. I won't tell you. Maybe Theresa will but, I won't!" James, then, walked down the hall into Potions and saw that the Dumbledore was having a very in depth conversation with Remus. "Professor, I promise, it won't ever happen again." "Remus, I don't know. Why haven't you told them, yet?" "They won't want to be friends with me then. I don't just want to lose all my friends. When Theresa comes to...." "If is more like it. Continue." "IF Theresa comes to, she will tell them all about it! They will not want to be my friends and they will spread it all around the school. I won't have any friends then!" Dumbledore turned his head and saw James just standing there. "Hello, James. Did you check in on Theresa? Is she ok?" "I don't know. I didn't check up on her." "Come on, James, we had better get to class. Remind me to tell you something when it is time for lunch, ok?" "Sure, you can tell me anything." The time passed too quickly and before you knew it, it was time for lunch. James and Remus sat first at the table. Lily, then, sat next to James, and Sirius sat next to Lily. Pete sat on the side close to Remus sat next to Pete. "Well, everyone," Remus started softly so only the people that were supposed to hear it heard it, "I have to tell you something. I am a werewolf." The four students just gasped. "Is that were Theresa got that cut from?" "Yeah, according to Professor Dumbledore, I tried to attack him but, Theresa got in the way and got that cut on her. I probably would have killed Dumbledore, but instead, I'll probably kill one of my best friends." Remus put his head on the table and started to cry. The others tried to comfort him, but they really didn't know how. Sirius was the first to stand up. "I know I'll still be your friend. I don't know about you guys, but we have all been through alot together and we won't lose our friendship to a little thing like this, will we?" The other three stood up at this yelled, "NO!" Remus had a large smile crept onto his face and he felt all warm inside. They were going to still be friends with him. What more could a guy ask for? Meanwhile in the Girls' Domitory....... Theresa was waking up, but very slowly. "Severus?" "I'm right here, love." "What happened?" "You were found in the Forbiddon Forest with Remus. Is there anything you would like to tell me?" A smile crept on to Theresa's face when she said, "No, not really." Severus looked Theresa straight in the eyes a crunched up his nose. Theresa laughed. "There was really nothing that mattered." "Nothing? You don't like him or anything?" "I like him as a friend, but nothing else." "That's good." "I just thought of something." "What, my dear?" "You are probably the first Slytherin to make it to the Gryffindor Common Room. Also, to the Girls' Domitory!" "You know, you're right! I'll be written in history and...." Theresa came up and kissed him on the lips, just to shut him up. Then, dropped back on to her bed and slept. She slept very soundly. She had to sleep, for there was something on the horizon, something that she would never expect. Voldemont was coming back. He was going to get the stone or die trying.
"Head Master Dumbledore? Can I ask you three questions?" "You have already asked one. Continue, dear." "Ok, I keep feeling all these tingles up and down my spine and that Gryffindor Stone keeps shining really brightly, why?" "Voldemont is coming. You must keep the stone with you at all times." "Ok, and the last one is, could you teach me some of the things I need to defeat Voldemont, please?" "Sure, my dear. I will have to teach you them next year, though. This one is coming to an end rather quickly." "Bye, professor." "Bye, Theresa." He was right. The end of school was coming up and she hadn't even been in half of her classes. She would have to do a good job of guessing on the exams that were coming up. It was...... MAY 9th! She had only 3 days to cram for a whole year's worth of work. She ran up to Severus and told him of the problem. He agreed to study with her. She was, hopefully, going to pass her first year!! There was also another problem, she had to go home and take care of her younger siblings. Her grandparents had been taking care of them, but they were going to go on vaction during the summer and she had to take care of three little babies. "Professor? Do I have to take these finals?" "Yes, my dear, I might get you an extension on them, though. I'm sorry." "It's my fault professor. I missed all that school." Theresa looked out the window of Dumbledore's office. The sky had turned a greenish color. "Professor, something bad is going to happen. Something beyond my thinking." Theresa, then, fell to the floor. "Theresa!?" Theresa didn't get up immediately. She looked like she may have been having a dream, "The Heir of Slytherin and Gryffindor will be one. Myself, Voldemont, and Theresa, will rule, joinly, the crown of Hogwart. You can't stop the happenings, Dumbledore!" Theresa opened her eyes, then, and looked at Dumbledore's surprised face. "What? Why am I on the ground?" "You just said about Voldemont and you ruling as one. Why?" "I would never say such a thing." Dumbledore looked out the window at the sky. He saw a face in the clouds. Dumbledore gasped as though he understood the whole thing. He looked back at Theresa and a look of realization came over her face. "He's here once more isn't he?" "Yes, dear. He's back." Theresa looked down and grabbed the sword at her side, "Student of Gryffindor, Savior of Gryffindor and Heir of Gryffindor, Theresa Rothoerd. Sounds just like me, don't it?" "Yes, you must defeat Voldemort, sooner better than later. He will gain a lot of power, I feel soon, and he must be destroyed." Theresa looked at the ground then, looked out the window again. "Professor, could you escort me to my classes today, please?" "Yes, dear." Theresa walked very fast, yet softly, to class. Dumbledore was always behind her and that made her feel alittle more confidence. The fact that the most famous wizard in the world was behind them would make anyone more confident! Voldemont was in the school, no one could sense it except Theresa and Dumbledore but, he was there.
During lunch, Voldemort made his voice heard, "Gryffindor will be the first to go. Anyone who dare defend the leader of Gryffindor will die with her! No one will stop me!" Theresa wrapped her arms around Severus as the rest of the school stared at her. She could her the whispering about her, "She is Gryffindor? How can that be?" "She has to be the Heir of Gryffindor!" Theresa got up gracefully and made her way down to the teachers' table. The teachers were amazed, also, that she was the Heir of Gryffindor. "Head Master? May I have a word?" "Sure, let us go to my office, shall we?" Dumbledore put his arm out for Theresa and she took it. She and Dumbledore walked out of the Great Hall and to Dumbledore's office without incident. "Sir, I think that I should drop out of the school." "Why, dear?" "I'm putting the whole school at risk by staying here. I think you should......" With that the foundation of the school was shaken. The students screamed at ran out of the school. James told Lily to go to the Common Room, she told him that she would. James, Sirius, Remus and Severus made their way down the corridors to Dumbledore's office where they found Theresa. She was in Dumbledore's arms, crying. Severus took Theresa out of Dumbledore's arms and took her into his. "Professor? Why is Voldemont after the school?" Sirius asked innocently. "Sirius, Voldemont has wanted to take the school for a long time. Theresa is here and that is also a reason. Theresa has the Gryffindor Stone, it is very important that if he wants to take over the world, he must get both the Slytherin and Gryffindor Stones. If he fails at this and attemps to take the world over anyway, Theresa will strike him down and kill him. That is why he is here today." All four of the boys backed up at this explanation. Theresa had tears running down her face, yet, she walked out of the door, down the corridors, and into the Great Hall. It was empty. Theresa looked around for any sight of Voldemont. Then, the first strike came from behind. Theresa felt her back where the cut had happened. There was nothing! No cut was present, no blood, it had healed itself! Theresa turned around to face the monster. She saw that he had no soul. Nothing that would cause him to have pain, nothing. She could almost see through him. She everted her eyes for one second, just long enough to see that James, Sirius, Remus and Severus were being taken out of the school by Dumbledore. She knew that if they were safe, she could be safe. She thought back on the things that had happened to her this year. She thought of Severus, Dumbledore and the former Heir of Gryffindor saying, "You shall defeat him when I can't." What? Did he think that an 11 year old could defeat this monster? Well, if he did then he was right! Theresa acted just like she had when she had the fight with Severus for the points for the Gryffindor House. She dove and weaved and finally, she got it! Theresa's Gryffindor Sword was right at Voldemont's chest. His sword was across the room, he couldn't get it. Dumbledore appeared at Theresa's side, at that moment. He smiled at her and she smiled back. That was their of communicating how they felt. Theresa took her sword away from Voldemont and smiled at him, "Please, don't ever try to take THIS school again." Theresa bowed at her enemy and turned on her heel to leave, Dumbledore at her side. Voldemont grabbed his sword and ran toward Theresa. Theresa, not knowing it was coming didn't duck, was pushed on to the ground by Dumbledore and she heard an ear piercing scream. Theresa looked up to see her favorite teacher, Dumbledore, lying on the ground with a sword through him. He looked at Theresa and smiled. As the strength was leaving our hero, Theresa had tears come to her eyes. Dumbledore was the first teacher, and the only teacher, who could tell her what to do. Theresa felt a hate develop in her as she looked at the dying teacher. Yet at that moment, she thought of her family, this was done to them also. Theresa grabbed her wand, out of instinct, and tried to think of a spell that would help Dumbledore. They hadn't really gotten into spells of this nature, but she was going to try. A spell hit her, the Full Circle. It was very hard to cast, but Dumbledore could do it! No Dumbledore was on the floor dying. Well, there is a first time for everything, Theresa thought. Theresa lifted the wand to the sky and asked for help on the spell. Someone must have heard her because, at that moment, a beam of light came into Theresa's wand and her wand told her what to do. Aim for the chest, master. Master? Who are you that I'm your master? I am your wand. Do as I tell you and you will see the wonders of me. I am very powerful. I belong to the Heir of Gryffindor, ma'am. Theresa had to smerk, but she did do as she was told. Dumbledore had died at that moment. Theresa waited patiently for the magic to take effect then, "Theresa?" "Head Master!" Theresa knelt down and hugged Dumbledore. "You had me so scared, sir." "Theresa, I refuse to let you drop out of this school!" Theresa hugged him again, and, in fact, hugged him until Professor Cherimonta came in. "So, you are the Heir of Gryffindor, are you?" "Yes, sir." Professor Cherimonta fell to the floor in a bow. He looked back up at her after about 5 minutes and asked her a very simple question, "What are the lottery numbers for tonight?" Theresa looked at Dumbledore and they both got up. At the same time they ran down the corridors, laughing the whole way.
On the last day of school.... Theresa was hanging around with her friends and, for the first time in a long time, she left her guard down and had a real conversation with her friends. "I can't believe I passed my first year." They had a toast for Theresa (with a beverage called cola). "I know that most of you are wondering who will win this year's cup. But, I think that you are even more interested to find out who will win the cutest couple contest. This couple will win, of course, 50 points each for their house and may even deside the winners of the cup so, Professor Redmonvile, may I have the envelope, please?" The professor gave him the envelope and sat back down. "The winners are..." Sirius was on the edge of his seat. He had 50.00 bet that James and Lily wouldn't be the cutest couple. Dumbledore continued, "let me get the envelope open, oh my, Theresa and Severus!" Theresa and Severus got up to the microphone and Sirius's jaw dropped to the ground. She and, HIM! Severus was wearing a smile from ear to ear, though, when Theresa kissed him after her speech. Sirius tried to get up, but James grabbed him arm. "Sirius!" "James, I don't care what happens to me. I never want to see her cry. She has made me cry too many times, but I don't want her to. Sirius made his way on to the stage and hugged Theresa gently. Then, he got to Severus. Severus could see that Sirius was upset, "Sirius, don't do anything that you will regret for the rest of your life, ok?" "I won't regret, this!" Sirius turned around and stabbed Theresa, by accident. He was aiming, not for Severus, but for Quirrel the Head Boy. He had heard him talking to Voldemont. They were talking about how to kill Theresa. "Theresa! I so sorry!" Theresa was bleeding to death quickly. Dumbledore made his way back on to the stage and tried to stop the bleeding. She had been stabbed in the heart. She was quickly losing time to say her good-byes. Theresa spoke very softly to Dumbledore and Severus, they were the closest to her. "I say good-bye to both of you today. I guess I won't get to see my little brothers again. I will get to see my older brothers, soon. Severus?" "I'm right here, love." "I love you. I always will. Professor Dumbledore?" "Dear?" "Be good to the students. Be nice to all, that is your gift, to be nice. Also, I say that you must defeat him for me now...." Theresa's last breath left her and she fell limp in Dumbledore's arms. Dumbledore, once again, took out his wand and brought her back to life. Both of the men looked at each other and looked back down at Theresa. They both smiled at her.
"Who were you aiming for, Sirius?" "Quirrel, he is up to no good! I think that he is friends with Voldemont. Who did you think, James?" "No one." "Before you go. I have to tell you something!" James hugged his best friend and as he let go, "You owe me 50 galleons, buddy." James held back the chuckling.
As the rest of the school got on the train, everyone was congratulating Severus and Theresa on being the cutest couple. Theresa sat next to Lily and Severus sat on the other side of Theresa. Lily was sitting next to James and Remus was next to James, Sirius was across from the whole lot and said to himself, "There is always next year to get her to notice me, there is always next year." As the train pulled up to the 9 3/4 platform, Theresa kissed Severus good-bye and Lily kissed James good-bye. "Will you ever come over my house during the summer?" "I will, my love." Theresa smiled and gave Severus the address to her house. "I have to warn you, I have a whole house of boys!" "It takes one, to know one." Theresa smiled and walked away from Severus. Her hair bounced with every movement of her head. Severus took the address in his hand and brought it to his face. For some reason, Severus turned the piece of paper on to the other side. To his surprise, Severus found writing. This is what it said,
Dear Lily,
I think that I fell in love with the most wonderful man! I don't think that he likes me, though. I think that he hates me. In case you haven't realized it yet, I'm in love with Severus Snape. He is the morning and evening sky to me. I know that you love James. It is the same with me and Severus. I hope that we can get married, some day! Until then, we will be VERY close friends! If we do get married, I would want you to be my Maid of Honor!
Theresa
P. S.
I love Severus!!
He smiled the whole way home. Severus thought only about one person, Theresa. When he got to his house, he called Theresa on the phone. He had gotten her phone number earlier that year. "Theresa?" "Yes, who is this?" "Severus. I have heard it through the grapevine that you like someone in the school. Who is it?" Theresa started to laugh. She had remembered the note to Lily!
This is the ending of part 2! Well, the characters you know (James, Lily, Remus ect.) are J.K. Rowlings! The people you don't know (Theresa Rothoerd and company) belong to me! PLEASE REVIEW! THANX FOR READING!
"Head Master Dumbledore? Can I ask you three questions?" "You have already asked one. Continue, dear." "Ok, I keep feeling all these tingles up and down my spine and that Gryffindor Stone keeps shining really brightly, why?" "Voldemont is coming. You must keep the stone with you at all times." "Ok, and the last one is, could you teach me some of the things I need to defeat Voldemont, please?" "Sure, my dear. I will have to teach you them next year, though. This one is coming to an end rather quickly." "Bye, professor." "Bye, Theresa." He was right. The end of school was coming up and she hadn't even been in half of her classes. She would have to do a good job of guessing on the exams that were coming up. It was...... MAY 9th! She had only 3 days to cram for a whole year's worth of work. She ran up to Severus and told him of the problem. He agreed to study with her. She was, hopefully, going to pass her first year!! There was also another problem, she had to go home and take care of her younger siblings. Her grandparents had been taking care of them, but they were going to go on vaction during the summer and she had to take care of three little babies. "Professor? Do I have to take these finals?" "Yes, my dear, I might get you an extension on them, though. I'm sorry." "It's my fault professor. I missed all that school." Theresa looked out the window of Dumbledore's office. The sky had turned a greenish color. "Professor, something bad is going to happen. Something beyond my thinking." Theresa, then, fell to the floor. "Theresa!?" Theresa didn't get up immediately. She looked like she may have been having a dream, "The Heir of Slytherin and Gryffindor will be one. Myself, Voldemont, and Theresa, will rule, joinly, the crown of Hogwart. You can't stop the happenings, Dumbledore!" Theresa opened her eyes, then, and looked at Dumbledore's surprised face. "What? Why am I on the ground?" "You just said about Voldemont and you ruling as one. Why?" "I would never say such a thing." Dumbledore looked out the window at the sky. He saw a face in the clouds. Dumbledore gasped as though he understood the whole thing. He looked back at Theresa and a look of realization came over her face. "He's here once more isn't he?" "Yes, dear. He's back." Theresa looked down and grabbed the sword at her side, "Student of Gryffindor, Savior of Gryffindor and Heir of Gryffindor, Theresa Rothoerd. Sounds just like me, don't it?" "Yes, you must defeat Voldemort, sooner better than later. He will gain a lot of power, I feel soon, and he must be destroyed." Theresa looked at the ground then, looked out the window again. "Professor, could you escort me to my classes today, please?" "Yes, dear." Theresa walked very fast, yet softly, to class. Dumbledore was always behind her and that made her feel alittle more confidence. The fact that the most famous wizard in the world was behind them would make anyone more confident! Voldemont was in the school, no one could sense it except Theresa and Dumbledore but, he was there.
During lunch, Voldemort made his voice heard, "Gryffindor will be the first to go. Anyone who dare defend the leader of Gryffindor will die with her! No one will stop me!" Theresa wrapped her arms around Severus as the rest of the school stared at her. She could her the whispering about her, "She is Gryffindor? How can that be?" "She has to be the Heir of Gryffindor!" Theresa got up gracefully and made her way down to the teachers' table. The teachers were amazed, also, that she was the Heir of Gryffindor. "Head Master? May I have a word?" "Sure, let us go to my office, shall we?" Dumbledore put his arm out for Theresa and she took it. She and Dumbledore walked out of the Great Hall and to Dumbledore's office without incident. "Sir, I think that I should drop out of the school." "Why, dear?" "I'm putting the whole school at risk by staying here. I think you should......" With that the foundation of the school was shaken. The students screamed at ran out of the school. James told Lily to go to the Common Room, she told him that she would. James, Sirius, Remus and Severus made their way down the corridors to Dumbledore's office where they found Theresa. She was in Dumbledore's arms, crying. Severus took Theresa out of Dumbledore's arms and took her into his. "Professor? Why is Voldemont after the school?" Sirius asked innocently. "Sirius, Voldemont has wanted to take the school for a long time. Theresa is here and that is also a reason. Theresa has the Gryffindor Stone, it is very important that if he wants to take over the world, he must get both the Slytherin and Gryffindor Stones. If he fails at this and attemps to take the world over anyway, Theresa will strike him down and kill him. That is why he is here today." All four of the boys backed up at this explanation. Theresa had tears running down her face, yet, she walked out of the door, down the corridors, and into the Great Hall. It was empty. Theresa looked around for any sight of Voldemont. Then, the first strike came from behind. Theresa felt her back where the cut had happened. There was nothing! No cut was present, no blood, it had healed itself! Theresa turned around to face the monster. She saw that he had no soul. Nothing that would cause him to have pain, nothing. She could almost see through him. She everted her eyes for one second, just long enough to see that James, Sirius, Remus and Severus were being taken out of the school by Dumbledore. She knew that if they were safe, she could be safe. She thought back on the things that had happened to her this year. She thought of Severus, Dumbledore and the former Heir of Gryffindor saying, "You shall defeat him when I can't." What? Did he think that an 11 year old could defeat this monster? Well, if he did then he was right! Theresa acted just like she had when she had the fight with Severus for the points for the Gryffindor House. She dove and weaved and finally, she got it! Theresa's Gryffindor Sword was right at Voldemont's chest. His sword was across the room, he couldn't get it. Dumbledore appeared at Theresa's side, at that moment. He smiled at her and she smiled back. That was their of communicating how they felt. Theresa took her sword away from Voldemont and smiled at him, "Please, don't ever try to take THIS school again." Theresa bowed at her enemy and turned on her heel to leave, Dumbledore at her side. Voldemont grabbed his sword and ran toward Theresa. Theresa, not knowing it was coming didn't duck, was pushed on to the ground by Dumbledore and she heard an ear piercing scream. Theresa looked up to see her favorite teacher, Dumbledore, lying on the ground with a sword through him. He looked at Theresa and smiled. As the strength was leaving our hero, Theresa had tears come to her eyes. Dumbledore was the first teacher, and the only teacher, who could tell her what to do. Theresa felt a hate develop in her as she looked at the dying teacher. Yet at that moment, she thought of her family, this was done to them also. Theresa grabbed her wand, out of instinct, and tried to think of a spell that would help Dumbledore. They hadn't really gotten into spells of this nature, but she was going to try. A spell hit her, the Full Circle. It was very hard to cast, but Dumbledore could do it! No Dumbledore was on the floor dying. Well, there is a first time for everything, Theresa thought. Theresa lifted the wand to the sky and asked for help on the spell. Someone must have heard her because, at that moment, a beam of light came into Theresa's wand and her wand told her what to do. Aim for the chest, master. Master? Who are you that I'm your master? I am your wand. Do as I tell you and you will see the wonders of me. I am very powerful. I belong to the Heir of Gryffindor, ma'am. Theresa had to smerk, but she did do as she was told. Dumbledore had died at that moment. Theresa waited patiently for the magic to take effect then, "Theresa?" "Head Master!" Theresa knelt down and hugged Dumbledore. "You had me so scared, sir." "Theresa, I refuse to let you drop out of this school!" Theresa hugged him again, and, in fact, hugged him until Professor Cherimonta came in. "So, you are the Heir of Gryffindor, are you?" "Yes, sir." Professor Cherimonta fell to the floor in a bow. He looked back up at her after about 5 minutes and asked her a very simple question, "What are the lottery numbers for tonight?" Theresa looked at Dumbledore and they both got up. At the same time they ran down the corridors, laughing the whole way.
On the last day of school.... Theresa was hanging around with her friends and, for the first time in a long time, she left her guard down and had a real conversation with her friends. "I can't believe I passed my first year." They had a toast for Theresa (with a beverage called cola). "I know that most of you are wondering who will win this year's cup. But, I think that you are even more interested to find out who will win the cutest couple contest. This couple will win, of course, 50 points each for their house and may even deside the winners of the cup so, Professor Redmonvile, may I have the envelope, please?" The professor gave him the envelope and sat back down. "The winners are..." Sirius was on the edge of his seat. He had 50.00 bet that James and Lily wouldn't be the cutest couple. Dumbledore continued, "let me get the envelope open, oh my, Theresa and Severus!" Theresa and Severus got up to the microphone and Sirius's jaw dropped to the ground. She and, HIM! Severus was wearing a smile from ear to ear, though, when Theresa kissed him after her speech. Sirius tried to get up, but James grabbed him arm. "Sirius!" "James, I don't care what happens to me. I never want to see her cry. She has made me cry too many times, but I don't want her to. Sirius made his way on to the stage and hugged Theresa gently. Then, he got to Severus. Severus could see that Sirius was upset, "Sirius, don't do anything that you will regret for the rest of your life, ok?" "I won't regret, this!" Sirius turned around and stabbed Theresa, by accident. He was aiming, not for Severus, but for Quirrel the Head Boy. He had heard him talking to Voldemont. They were talking about how to kill Theresa. "Theresa! I so sorry!" Theresa was bleeding to death quickly. Dumbledore made his way back on to the stage and tried to stop the bleeding. She had been stabbed in the heart. She was quickly losing time to say her good-byes. Theresa spoke very softly to Dumbledore and Severus, they were the closest to her. "I say good-bye to both of you today. I guess I won't get to see my little brothers again. I will get to see my older brothers, soon. Severus?" "I'm right here, love." "I love you. I always will. Professor Dumbledore?" "Dear?" "Be good to the students. Be nice to all, that is your gift, to be nice. Also, I say that you must defeat him for me now...." Theresa's last breath left her and she fell limp in Dumbledore's arms. Dumbledore, once again, took out his wand and brought her back to life. Both of the men looked at each other and looked back down at Theresa. They both smiled at her.
"Who were you aiming for, Sirius?" "Quirrel, he is up to no good! I think that he is friends with Voldemont. Who did you think, James?" "No one." "Before you go. I have to tell you something!" James hugged his best friend and as he let go, "You owe me 50 galleons, buddy." James held back the chuckling.
