A/N: Alright, this is Chapter 8! This is the third to last chapter, making my…story, only 10 Chapters! *sniffles* As usual, please ignore any typos or mistakes that you see!
Disclaimer: If it's new to you, I own it. If you know it, it's not mine.
"Natrina, Sirius, and Spirits"
"Master" said a cloaked figure. "Karni is Ivy! She's coming to kill you!"
"Yes…" said the Dark Lord, stroking his chin. "The true love curse…Now that I know it's not her, it won't kill me. Woops," he said. "It seems that I have slipped in front of you. You gave me valuable information, so I shall spare you. But you shan't even remember that. Oblivate!" said Voldemort, without even lifting his wand.
He wasn't paying any attention, and didn't see a cloaked figure run out of the room
~!@#$%^&**&^%$#@!~
"Natrina!" gasped Minerva.
"Well…" said Dumbledore, even *he* hadn't predicted this.
"Why didn't you inform me that 'Ivy' was really Natrina?!" Minerva yelled at Snape.
"I…I didn't realize you didn't know" he said.
"You…you knew my mother?" asked Karni.
"She was my daughter" whispered Minerva.
"Grandmother!" said Karni, running to hug her.
"And…" said Minerva. "Albus is your great-grandfather!" she finished, through tears.
"My mum always said Godric was on her mother's side…" said Karni.
"I hate to break this love fest up" said Ron. "We don't have much time!"
"I'm coming too!" said Minerva, like a little child. They all jumped in the fire, going to DePrue Estate, then apperate to Voldemort's lair.
~!@#$%^&**&^%$#@!~
They landed at Voldemort's gates. A cloaked figure was running towards them.
"Move!" yelled Draco, to Hermione.
"Malfoy?" asked the figure, stopping.
"Sirius?" asked Minerva.
He removed his cloak and said "In the flesh" followed by a grin. But it quickly faded when he remembered something. "I was running to apperate to Hogwarts. Voldemort knows of the attack."
"Shit!"
"We must go anyway!" pleaded Karni. "We must! We have to!" she said through tears.
~!@#$%^&**&^%$#@!~
They enter Voldemort's 'office'. Narcissus and Snape guard the door on the outside, while Draco and Ron do the same on the inside; Hermione, Minerva and Karni hide in the shadows, watching Sirius.
"Master…" said Sirius, bowing. "I have a…visitor for you" he said, standing up and using his arms like a gameshow girl, showing off a prize.
Karni stepped out of the shadows.
"Hello daughter" he said. "It's strange…You don't look like your mother" he sneered after he said that last word.
She gasped, she was Karni again. "Damn potion," she muttered under her breath. 'It's worth a shot' she thought, getting the other potion.
"Accio Polyjuice" said Voldemort, yawning.
"Shit!"
"It doesn't matter, my child" he said. "It would have been no use, as the hair was too old, and I know of the 'attack'."
Suddenly, Karni felt a strange sensation go through her body. A strange voice was speaking. Where is it coming from, she thought, suddenly realizing it was coming from her.
"Don't you ever call her that!" she Natrina, using Karni's body to communicate through.
"I thought you were in Hell" he said.
"No" she said, sweetly. "I was sent down to watch over my daughter tonight. But I may have to follow you there, for what I'm about to do."
Karni's body lifted her wand, and Natrina's voice rang out like a beacon in a storm. "AVADA KEDAVRA!"
A flash of green light, and he was gone. Once again, Karni felt the sensation. But it was leaving. No!! She thought, the sense of calm now gone. Mummy!! Stay with me!!
The sensation was a purple glow. It took on a human form, then got details and lastly color, showing Natrina McGonagal.
"Hello all" she said. "Wait one last minute please" she said, smiling.
Souls that are lost, souls that are gone;
Souls that are here, souls that are free;
Rest in peace, for your reason of death,
Is gone.
Little glows, big glows, all different colors floated up from the dungeon below and from the walls, all going to the same place. The hole in the ceiling, then the cloudy night sky, up to the heavens.
Slowly, she turns to speak to them all. "Don't worry about Voldemort anymore" she said. "He will be re-born, only to die again, over and over. He will be a lost soul, seaching the earth for love, happiness and answers. At each re-birth, he will have no memory, only a sense of doom"
"Severus Snape" she said, turning to him first. "How I loved you on Earth. Never forget me, even in Death, I haven't forgotten you."
"I won't" he whispered, crying softly.
"I'll wait for you, where in Heaven it doesn't matter is you were a Gryfindor or Slytherin, as long as you make it there. And I know you will, because of what you helped happen tonight" she said, giving him his last kiss from her, while their both on Earth.
Then, she turned to Draco and Hermione, smiling. "Keep what you have, cherish it" she whispered, now crying. "And never, ever let it go"
Talking to Ron she said "Thank you, for helping rid the wizard world of evil, for hopefully the last time. Thank you for accepting Hermione and Draco. Don't worry about your love, she will come to you after Hogwarts. Don't give up on her" said Natrina, smiling through her tears.
"Mother…" she whispered, still crying, as Minerva sobbed. "I'm so sorry!" she cried out. "I should have never left you, never done anything against what you told me to do! But look what came of it" she said, contradicting herself, pointing to Karni. "My beautiful daughter, and the defeat of Voldemort. I will always love you Mummy!" she said, throwing her arms around Minerva's neck. Minerva embraced her child, for the last time, in her natural life.
Turning to her baby, she said, "I've always loved you, I still love you, and I always will" she said. "Never…forget me…" she said, hugging her for the last time for many, many years. She was starting to fade.
Looking up, she said, "I love you grandfather."
As she floated up, she said, " Don't worry about the past, it was destined to be, so it would have happened sooner or later. It happened sooner, and be glad of that. More people could have suffered, more could have died, be glad they didn't…Be glad you didn't…" and then she was gone, up through the hole in the ceiling, on her way to a lonely Utopia, until her loved ones join her.
Karni fell to the floor crying, banging her fists on the cold, hard, stone floor, sobbing.
~!@#$%^&**&^%$#@!~
Sitting at his desk, Albus Dumbledore is looking into his crystal ball, with tears rolling down his old, wrinkled face, into his flowing silver beard. A reflection of Natrina is in one of his tears, one of Karni, sobbing, is shown in his glasses.
~!@#$%^&**&^%$#@!~
A/N: Hope it was alright…Well, if you don't like it, you have exactly two more chapters to *start* liking it. I hope you review for this, even if you don't like it. Tell me what I'm doing wrong! That way, if I write another Fic, be it a series, plot-less thing of my imagination, SongFic, *what-ever*, I'll do it right! Thank you.
