Ok, on with Chapter 19: The Flash of Green
*
Excerpt from Chapter 18:
But after they thought everything was alright Tawny let out a scream from the kitchen.
She was writhing on the floor when Remus entered.
"Tawny what is going on?" Lily Screamed.
"It's Vivian…she's in great pain I feel it… I think, she's having a baby!! AHHHHHH!!!!!"
*
"A WHAT!!!" Remus screamed.
But Tawny couldn't answer. She was going through the same pains as her sister had when she'd given birth to Sage and Icicle. Lily, Hermione and Ginny rushed forward and tried to comfort her but at no avail.
Suddenly she stopped and smiled. Her eyes glazed over and she fell back onto the floor, sweating.
After a few minutes she woke up and smiled again.
"Vivian just had two children. Sage and Icicle Riddle."
"Sage and Icicle WHO?" Sirius yelled as he and James caught Remus, who had just fainted.
*-*-*-*-*-*Voldemort's Castle*-*-**-*-*-*-*
"Harry, we have to get out of here!!" Violet whispered into her brother's ear one night while Sage and Icicle screamed.
Vivian held Sage and Scott held Icicle but the babies would not stop crying. Harry looked at the babies and saw Sage move his hand upward towards his sister.
Then, he understood. He looked at Violet and smiled.
He walked over to Vivian and took Sage from her. Then in his other arm he took Icicle. He layed both of them down in the crib side by side. They stopped crying immediately after their sides were touching.
Vivian gasped and Scott smiled.
"We should have known. We are all twins in this house, with the exception of my father." No one was looking at Vivian at that moment. They were all staring at the babies on the bed, but if they had been watching Vivian they would've seen a look of sadness cross her face and a single tear roll down her cheek.
*
Vivian watched Harry and Violet very closely. She knew that they missed their brother and their parents. She did too, but she would never admit it. So, why was she planning to do what she was about to do?
Because if Sage were to grow up with Scott and Voldemort, he would be a third Generation Evil Lord, and she knew that would be the fall of all good, meaning the fall of her sister and her father.
So, her plan was simple. She'd get Harry and Violet out of the house and look like it was a struggle. She'd get them out, and let them take Sage.
'I can't let both of my babies go, but if Icicle were to grow she wouldn't be as evil as her father and grand-father, right? is a girl.' she thought.
She didn't know how wrong she was.
*
So, on the night after Harry demonstrated the love of twins, Vivian picked up her children and told Scott she wanted to take a walk around the grounds. As she expected, he told Harry and Violet to escort her.
"I'll be right back." Vivian said. She waked up to Scott and he hugged and kissed his children, she made sure he had time to say good-bye to Sage.
"Let's go!" She screeched at Harry and Violet, who sat up and ran to catch up to her.
*-*-*-*-*--*-*-*-*Lupin's House*-*-*-*-*-*-*
James, Remus, Lily, Severus, and Sirius were all sitting around the fire. James had his hand on his brother's shoulder.
"Remus, It'll be OK. Maybe we can get her and the babies when we try to get Harry and Violet." He whispered.
"We don't even know where the castle is! And, plus, who says Vivian will come with us? She hates me!" Remus screamed.
"She doesn't hate you! You cannot hate your father! And she doesn't hate Tawny! I know that for a fact!! They are twins, and I know it is hurting both of them to be apart! I would know! YOU would know, James was your brother, are you saying it didn't hurt either of you to be apart?!!" Lily yelled.
Remus saw the truth in her words. He had missed James after he supposedly died. She knew he'd missed him, same for Lily and Severus. But it must have been worse for Sirius. He'd been all alone his whole life, then his best friends die.
"We need to find out where his castle is." Severus said.
"Yeah, if we don't then…well, my children won't come back, and I don't think I can bare loosing them again." James said, staring down at his hands.
"I know how you feel, losing someone to…him."
"Sirius, don't you start talking about Chloe. It wasn't him who did this." James comforted his friend.
"She loved me, but I couldn't love her back. If I would've Voldemort would've killed her. She said she'd wait for me. Said she'd never love another man, James, I ruined her life."
"Soon He'll be gone, and we'll find Chloe again."
"But I'll never be able to love her, knowing that I hurt her. I won't be able to love her!"
"Those things can be changed."
*
Upstairs, The kids were having there own conversation, but it was on a whole different subject.
Ginny had called everyone into her room and she sat on her bed and said:
"Hermione, I don't think you had mono."
"Ginny, what are you talking about! You saw how sick she was!" Ron yelled.
"I know. But her symptoms weren't that of mono!!" Ginny shouted back.
"Hermione, do you know what she is talking about?" Draco asked.
Hermione looked down and started to cry. She shook her head yes.
"What is it Hermione?!" Tawny asked, scooting over to her.
"I….I…Can't…I'm…I can't tell you." Hermione said and she ran out of the room and into the bathroom, slamming the door.
"I'll go talk to her!" Ginny said, and she walked to the bathroom.
"Hermione." She whispered. "I'm sorry, Herms. Look, I won't tell them if you don't want me to." Ginny said.
Hermione opened the door and Ginny walked in.
*
"How could this happen?! I'm Hermione Granger! Top of my class, best grades…Ginny, Why me?!" Hermione looked up.
"Hermione, you should have used protection. It is know ones fault but your own. I know you think I'm being rude Hermione, but it is all true." Ginny said.
(a/n: Oh my God, I'm evil, I'm a sinner. What is it with me and teenage parent-hood. I'm sooo sorry to people against this, Hell, I'm VERYU against this, but, it is the only way it'll work..LL sooo sorry, again)
"I know…I just….would you get Draco please?"
"Yeah." Ginny walked out and a minute later, Draco walked in.
"Ginny said you had something to tell me." He whispered.
"Yes. Draco…do you remember that night before the battle? !a/n: Ooo, Hermione and Draco got Giggy...LOL) Well, Draco…I'm…I'm Pregnant." Hermione started to sob again.
"Oh, my God. Hermione. We forgot to use protection…Hermione, this is all my fault. We need to tell someone, we can get the baby terminated." Draco said, his hand on his forehead.
"We can't KILL it! That is horrible…no….Oh, Draco, I don't know what to do…I'm so scared. I saw how much pain Tawny was in because of Vivian and I don't know if I'm ready. Maybe we should terminate it…" She trailed off.
Just then a lighting bolt flew through the ceiling and landed on the floor next to Hermione and Draco.
In a minute everyone in the house, 14 and up, had piled into the small bathroom.
(A/n: ::slaps ruler on desk:: CLASS LISTEN UP!!!…this is where it starts to get VERY...mythical….gods and goddesses of Greek and Rome……so, if you think I am offending God in some way or you don't like myths this is a warning….don't read on if you can't handle it…m'kay?!*-*)
Everyone was staring at the lighting bolt in the middle of the room. It wasn't a kind of lighting bolt where some light strikes down and buzzes a hole in the ozone-layer, no, this was a real, golden, zigzagged lighting bolt, sitting next to the toilet. It was glowing gold and sort of buzzing.
"That…That…is one of Zeus' lightning bolts." Remus said. He looked over at the shocked Hermione and Draco.
"I need you to tell me exactly what you were talking about when this thing flew into the room."
"We…I…I was saying that.." Hermione gulped and tears streamed down her face.
"Hermione, honey, we need you to explain to us what you were saying. This lightning bolt is one of Zeus'. You know who he is right?" Lily asked and Hermione nodded. "He is the king of the ancient Greek Gods."
"But, he isn't real. Zeus, Hera, Hercules, they're myths." Ginny said.
"Actually they are real. They are just a different kind of human…like wizards, muggles, dwarfs, elves. But they are very much alive. They don't rule over mortals or anything like that. They have a little authority and they are the ones who make prophecies and such. Usually they leave us alone, but sometimes they need to tell us things, about a prophecy or something they foresaw that could interfere with the natural balance of things. Muggles of course, believe they are myths, just like us. But they are very much real." Lily explained.
"So that means that Zeus sent this lightning bolt down because of something you said, and we need to know what it was." Sirius said.
Hermione started to cry, realizing that she would have to have the baby, and that she would have to reveal it to the people in the room.
"I'm…I'm pregnant…and…and…I was telling Draco, since he was the father and we were talking about getting it terminated before any one else found out." She explained, and then she went into another fit of sobs.
"Oh, my God." Ron let out a breath he had been holding. Tawny slapped her hand to her mouth, James, Sirius, Severus, and James looked like they had seen ghosts, but Lily smiled.
"Honey, I want to tell you something." She scooted over to Hermione and looked up a the grown men. "I want you to go. I think Hermione needs her friends right now. I'll leave when I'm done. Tawny maybe you should go too." Everyone other than Ginny, Ron and Draco shuffled out obediently.
"Hermione, here in the Wizarding world we do some things earlier then in the muggle world. We graduate earlier, we move out earlier, and sometimes, we have children earlier. I got pregnant young, my baby died. I was younger than you were when I got pregnant, 14! You do not have to be ashamed about this. I was so ashamed, but then I had Harry and Violet. Babies are the most wonderful thing in the world, especially one thay you created. One that you brought into this world."
"But, Lily, You don't understand I'm…"
"You are a prefect, get the best grades in your school and I bet you passed your O.W.L.'s with flying colors. Same here, Hermione."
"But, everyone will know at school."
"Magic can be very helpful."
And with that Lily left the room. Draco held Hermione while she cried.
"Let's go downstairs…Ron help me with this." Ron and Draco pulled the lightning bolt out of the floor. With that they walked down stairs. Ginny helped Hermione up and they followed.
*
As they descended all of the adults and Tawny stared up at them. Hermione looked at James, fearing that he would give her some lecture, but he smiled and said: "Well, Hermione, you've made me a grandpa."
Hermione smiled and they all sat down.
"Ok, we really need to talk about this." Severus said.
"Yeah, I think Zeus' bolt was a sign to make Hermione quit thinking of terminating her baby." Sirius said.
"That is absolutely correct!" Everyone looked over to the door where a man, about 6 foot five stood. He was no ordinary man. His skin seemed to glow, he was wearing a sort of skirt, with a golden belt, and he had a hat on. The hat had small wings on the back, same with is leg-wrap-around sandals. Ginny was the first to understand who he was.
"Oh, my GOD! It's Hermes! The messenger God of Mount Olympus!!!!!"
"Correct again! We DO have smart bunch here!"
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Voldemort's Castle*-*-*-*-*-**-*-*-*
As soon as Vivian was sure they were not being followed she sharply turned around.
"You, two, I want you to follow me this instant!" She twirled around and ran down the hall, holding Sage to her.
She reached the doors and stepped out. As they walked to the edge of the grounds she explained to them:
"Okay, this is my plan. I know that if Sage grows to be older he'll be the third male generation Riddle. And that is not good for you guys and your family. My family. So, I want you to stun me, leave Icicle here and take Sage."
"WHAT!? You're letting us go?" Violet yelled.
"Why?" Harry's mouth was in a large 'o'.
"One, you are my cousins, two, I've seen how much you miss your brother, I miss my sister. I can handle
That, you cannot. Now let me say good-bye." She looked Sage into the eyes and said: "Your mother loves you. But, Harry and Violet here need to take you now, honey. I love more than anything on this Earth, and I want you to know that. Harry, take this and give it to him when he is older."
She took her necklace off and handed it to him. It was a golden chain with a very small globe hanging in the middle. "In this necklace is my love. I enchanted this for him. Whenever he wears it, it will give off my love. Good -bye my baby." She handed Sage over to Harry, took Icicle from Violet and pointed her wand at herself "I think I'll stun myself."
She lay down on the ground and held Icicle next to her. She again pointed her wand at herself and was about to shout when Harry stopped her.
"Vivian. Voldemort will know, he'll probably give you truth potion. Let me do it, so that if he question you, you won't be lying when you say I stunned you." And with that Vivian, for the second time, lay down and Harry shouted: "STUPEFY!!!!!"
She closed her eyes and Icicle started to scream. Harry saw that she was reaching for Sage. His heart nearly ripped into to a hundred pieces when Violet pulled him away and the babies were torn apart, forever.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Lupin's House*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Well, I've come here to collect you all. Well, all of you except you, you and you." He pointed to Snape, Tawny and Remus.
James was about to protest but Hermes stepped forwards and said:
"It is the way of Zeus, let's go Hermione." He held out a hand and she took it. He looked back at them all and turned around letting go of her hand.
"OK, this is the deal. We are all going to have to get up there. and I only have two hands. So, I'm going to have to call a Chariot. You may sit and lounge for a while, I guess. Let me call Apollo."
"Wait, you mean THE Apollo? God of the sun, and Beauty, son of Zeus and Letto, twin brother to Artemis, Apollo?" Ginny asked.
"Yep. That's him. He and his sun chariot are going to pick us all up." With that he took a small object out of his strange outfit. Hermione looked closer and saw that is was a cell phone.
"What, gotta keep up with those muggles. Hello, Apollo, yes this is Hermes. you know your father's appointment. Well, I have to get the up to Mt. Olympus some how. What!? no we aren't going to walk! It is Zeus' way! Apollo you listen to me this instant! You will come down here and pick us up. I don't care. No, No. No. No. OK, fine. Alright, we will be here. The Address is 1234 Cedar St. Yes, on Earth! Ok, Ok. Ok Ok" He flipped the phone closed and smiled at them.
"He has to take the sun down, and then he'll be here. So, this gives us some time to get acquainted! My name is Hermes. I already know your names, Draco, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Lily, James, Sirius, Severus, Remus, and Tawny. Though, we are missing some people tonight. I can tell you one thing about them...the younger ones I believe are the ones coming home. Harry and Violet Potter, yes, I remember well, the night their parents were taken under Voldemort's wing. Oh, wait that was you two, wasn't it...well...HAHA....never thought I'd see you two again. I was there with Iris. She is also a messenger, and the goddess of the Rainbow. We were there to make sure Harry and Violet survived." Suddenly there was a noise form outside. Hermes stood up and smiled.
"That'll be Apollo, come! We are off to Mt. Olympus!"
"So, we are actually going to where the God's live!?" Draco yelled.
"Sure! Let's go!"
"We are aloud in!? But we're mortals!" Draco pointed out.
"Yes, and you are also magical. Muggles cannot enter, but...for some reason you can. Anyway, Zeus has said that you will come, so nothing can stop you." He smiled and kept walking, followed by all who were going to see the gods.
"Hermes! Hurry up! I have things to do!" a voice shouted from around the house. Hermes walked out and everyone slowly followed him. What they saw when they stepped off the porch amazed them.
It was Apollo. He was at least 7 feet tall. His skin glowed more gold then Hermes and his hair was bright red as well. He looked a little like Ron. His Chariot was fit for not one but at least 10 7 foot men, and they all fit comfortably inside it. The horses were a bright red color and it hurt to look at them.
As Apollo took off he looked back at Hermes.
"Get out, Hermes, you can fly."
"Apollo! Fine!" Hermes jumped off the edge of the chariot and flew next to the horses.
"So, this is your sun chariot?" Hermione asked.
"Yes it is. I carry the sun around in this. If I had the sun with me, it would've scorched the Earth. And you."
He chuckled and no one else spoke.
It got darker and darker the farther they got from Earth. Hermione was about say something about breathing, and gravity, but decided to be quiet. She got more tired by the second and soon, her head was resting on Draco's shoulder and she was asleep.
*
Ginny woke up suddenly. The Chariot had just jerked. She looked next to her and saw Hermione soundly sleeping on Draco's shoulder. He was still asleep and she giggled when she saw a small bit of drool on his shoulder where Hermione was sleeping.
"What's so funny?" She jumped and looked over at Ron. He was sitting to her left next to Lily, James, and
Sirius, who were also sleeping. She suddenly realized that it was no longer dark.
"Ginny, you have got to see this." Ron whispered. He was standing at the edge of The Chariot and looking over the edge.
She walked over to him and gasped.
The Chariot was resting on a pure, white marble floor. She looked around and saw about 500 brightly
shining, multi-colored, horses. They were in a stable. The stable of Mt. Olympus!
"Oh, good! You're awake!! Now, would you kindly wake your friends? We need to see Zeus." Hermes flew in front of them, blocking their view of the horses.
Ron recuperated from the shock first and moved to wake up the adults. Ginny walked over to Hermione and gently lifted her head from his shoulder. She gently shook her and Hermione opened her eyes. She looked around and noticed that is was light out. She opened her mouth in delight and screamed in Draco's ear.
"DRACO!! WE'RE AT MT. OLYMPUS!!!!!!!!" He jumped about 4 feet into the air and looked around saying in a horse voice:
"Where's the fire? What? Oh, we are here...OK." He moved to go back asleep, but Hermione took his hand and pulled him upright. She ran to the edge of the Chariot, pulling him beside her and gasped at the horses.
The bright colors seemed to wake him and he rubbed his eyes.
"Whoa..."
"Yes, Yes, I'm sure your all excited, but Apollo needs to retrieve the sun, and bring it to Earth now. So, we need to get out of this smelly stable and off to Zeus' castle!" With that he swished his hand and the chariot disappeared from under their feet. They all fell about 3 feet to the ground and quickly got up.
"SIR! That was uncalled for!" Sirius was yelling, but Hermes seemed to not be listening. He looked back and smiled.
"Come along!" And with that they all followed him out of the marble stables.
**-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-**Voldemort's Castle*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Vivian awoke in her bed. She sat up quickly and looked around. Lauryna was next to her, Scott was pacing by the door and Lord Voldemort was holding Icicle, making strange cooing noises.
"Scott?" She said, her voice cracking.
"VIVIAN! You're, OK! We found you by the edge of the grounds, stunned. Icicle was in your arms.
"Where is Sage!?" Vivian screamed, she knew where he was, but she felt panic running up her throat. 'What have I done? My son is…gone.' she thought.
"Honey, He, Harry and Violet are gone. I'm sorry. They stunned you and only took him." Scott got closer to her and held her hand as she cried. 'Why did I do this? I've never felt hurt like this before.' She thought.
"What about Icicle?" She whimpered, playing her part in the fib, although she did feel a bit worried.
"She's right here." Voldemort's cruel voice said from the chair he was sitting in. He stood up and brought the baby to Vivian.
"I'll leave you two alone." He said, and walked out, motioning for Lauryna to follow him. She did, but only after looking at Vivian with a hard look in her eyes. She knew.
"Vivian, what happened?"
"We were out walking and out of no where, Harry pulls out his wand and stupefies me....that is all I remember."
"How did he get his wand?"
Vivian started to sweat. She had given him his wand back.
"I...I...Don't know, Scott."
"I'm sending deatheaters to your father's house. We are getting Sage back." Vivian tried to protest, but knew it wouldn't help and she laid her head back down. and fell asleep with Icicle in her arms.
*
"Scott, what in God's name are you doing!!" Lauryna was shouting at her brother. He was about to walk in on is father's meeting with the death eaters.
"Those filthy rats took my son!"
With that he threw the door open.
"SCOTT! I've already got a team to get your son back!"
"Good. Let's go."
"What do you mean, LET'S!?" Lauryna screamed.
"I MEAN, I'm going to lead the team." Scott started to walk and motioned for the Death Eaters to follow him, and they did.
"WHAT!? Those wizards are very powerful, Scott!"
He whirled around and looked at her. "I know what I am doing, Lauryna. Leave me alone!"
"SCOTT! I'm coming with you."
"No, you are staying with Vivian." He started to walk away again.
"Scott, I think she really needs to be alone right now. Her baby was just taken from her."
He looked back at her and stared deeply into her eyes.
"Fine, but hurry up and get dressed in Death Eater robes and out of those....green ones, you'll make yourself...seeable." With that he walked down the hall, followed by 5 Death Eaters.
Lauryna ran to her room and changed into her black robes, and took off her dress shoes, replacing them with black boots. She pulled her hair up into a pony-tail.
*
"Hurry up Lauryna!! I don't have all night!!"
"Sorry, Scott. I thought you wanted me to take off my "Dress clothes?"
"Fine, lets go."
"Where exactly are we going?"
"To Vivian's Father's house."
"But won't they still--"
"Lauryna, I'm leading this mission, not you!"
*-**-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Olympus*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
The small group reached The Gates of Olympus in a few seconds flat.
"Now, you will each see a few of Zeus' children before you enter his castle. Do any of you have anyone you want to see? Athena, Hercules, Apollo oh you've already seen him....er....Artemis?" Hermes asked.
"So, there really is a Hercules, and a Zeus and a...you?" Draco said, still not believing that all of this was real.
"Yes! Listen Child! Muggles don't believe in you unless they've SEEN you or crossed your path, because you are a wizard, and magic is not real to muggles. We are not real to you for the same reason....so get over it. I am REALLYYY HERE!"
Draco was about to throw a rude comment back to the...er...man, when Hermione squeezed his hand whispered. He shut up after she mumbled on about Draco not being Immortal or 7 feet tall.
"Fine, no answers? I guess we'll see Athena First. Now, be on your best behavior. And hope and pray that Ares isn't around. You all know who he is right, not all of you...dear. He is the god of War.....evil war kinda...not like Athena, the goddess of FAIR war. They hate each oth--- Speak of the devil..." Hermes
trailed off.
He turned around and looked at them.
"I think we'll just go see...CUPID!" He started to walk and everyone turned to follow him.
*
Finally they reached a large hill. On top of that hill was a large castle.
"Wait, I thought you said we'd see Zeus' children. Isn't Cupid….Aphrodite's kid?" Lily Whispered.
"Well, seeing as Hepheastus was Zeus' child and Cupid is his son, he is Zeus' grandson same thing!"
He walked up to the castle door and knocked. A woman answered the door. She was Beautiful.
"Ah, Ms. Psyce! How are you? Now, Where is your husband?"
"Oh, um….I believe he is….on the hunt."
"Oh…dear." Hermes was bout to run back to the small group of Magical people, but it was too late,. Cupid shot an arrow to them and it hit Sirius in the back. No blood came but instead, golden sparks flew from the tip of the arrow.
"SIRIUS! CLOSE YOUR EYES!!!!!!!!!!" Hermes screamed. Sirius looked stunned but closed his eyes al the time. The effect didn't work for Hermes, because one he was a god and two he was in the same sex as Sirius and Zeus had made it clear…"God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve." Zeus was a homophobe…. (a/n: I'm soo sorry, I HAD to do that...tee-hee)
Psyche ran down the hill to Hermes and handed him a sort of bandana. He took it and wrapped it around Sirius' head.
"I am so sorry." Psyche said. She started walk up the hill mumbling about Cupid not getting whoopi tonight.
"What in the BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sirius screamed.
James started to laugh and everyone joined in.
"Sirius, you, you've just been hit by one of Cupid's ARROWS!!!" James said.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
When Scott, Lauryna and the other Deatheaters left, Voldemort sensed he had to do something. He, the Dark Lord, sitting back while his weak children fought.
He got dressed in his robes and apperated into the forest. Right where Violet sat, holding Sage.
He hadn't expected it. Not in a million years. But he recovered fast. He whipped his wand out of his pocket and pointed it at \/iolet.
"Hand over the boy! Do as I say foolish Girl!" He screamed
But just as he was bout to scream the killing curse, he saw Harry running towards him, wand out screaming for Violet to run.
Voldemort looked at Harry in amazement. If you had compared this scene to the one that had occurred roughly 15 years before, you would only see a few differences, the eye color, the baby, and the setting. Voldemort remembered the night of his downfall. He had been asking Lily for the boy. Lily was holding the baby, close, not letting it go. James had been running towards him, yelling at Lily to run. Everything here was the same…
"Violet, get out of here! I'll take care of him."
"No, Harry. NO! The Necklace!" She screamed. Harry looked confused then plunged his hand into his pocket. Voldemort shook him self out of his memories and pointed his wand at Harry.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" He shouted. A green beam of light flew towards Harry who was standing stock still. In his hand was a golden chain. As a last defense to his life, Harry rose the necklace in front of his face. Voldemort cackled insanely at the poor attempt Harry took to try and save himself, his sister, and Sage.
As the green beam hit the necklace It stopped. Everyone thought the curse was defective but not even a millisecond later the necklace exploded in green light. It made all in the forest blind as it shined through the trees. In made loud booming sounds as each side of the globe exploded in light.
When the light finally stopped shining and sounding Harry stood up and looked around. Violet was still sitting down with Sage in her arms. The baby was crying. Harry remembered that Voldemort had been there and looked around. All he could see was a pile of robes and ashes. Voldemort was dead.
Harry rose the necklace to his eyes and chuckled. He opened the clasps and hooked it around Sage's neck. The baby stopped crying. With one more look at what used to be Voldemort, Harry helped his sister up and all three walked into the clearing, the sun shining brightly on their faces.
A few minutes later a breeze blew by and swept up Voldemort's ashes. He had been right, there was only one thing that was more powerful then he, Love.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Back on Mt. Olympus!*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
" WHAT!?" Sirius screamed.
"Look, Mr. Black, why don't we go see Zeus now and see if he can fix it. He needs to talk to Hermione and Draco anyway." Hermes guided him back over the hill, and once again, everyone followed.
A few minutes later they reached a huge palace. Each gasped as two guards opened the door and ushered them in.
"Finally! You come! I have been waiting for you!" A voice boomed from a huge throne across the hall. It was Zeus.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Woods outside Lupin's house*-**-*-*-*-*
"OK, men, Lauryna, we are just outside Lupin's house! You two, make sure her father is taken care of. Lauryna, you go around looking for Sage. You, go find Severus Snape and bring him to me, alive. I have other business. Mr. Crabbe, Mr. Goyle, you stand guard and kill anyone who gets close. Let's go!" Scott shouted and ran into the house.
*-*-*-*Olympus*-*-*-*
"Come, sit and have some nectar and ambrosia." Zeus called. They could not see him yet, but he sounded close.
"Sir, Zeus. Please make your self seeable." Hermes said, a trace of a frown on his face.
"Of course." And suddenly an 8 foot man, with a grey beard and curly, grey hair, with the most shocking blue eyes appeared before him.
"Come, let us go!"
He led them into a huge room and they all sat around a table that looked to be made of gold.
"Now, down to business. Ms. Granger, come to me." Hermione stepped closer to him and he cupped her chin in his hand.
"Ms, Granger. I'm very proud of you. And I hope these fine people are too. This baby that you are carrying, though you may be young, is vital to the survival of everything. As it grows with the other young one, it shall become powerful through love." Everyone's head swiveled around to Ginny, but she looked as dumbfounded as they. " You have not met this little one yet. He will come tonight with the others. Though Ms. Ginny, WILL have children, it will not be for a bit." He chuckled and let Hermione go. "Young child, once you give birth to this baby, your destiny, will be partly fulfilled. But, there are some thing you need to do first."
"Sir, umm….you wouldn't be able to tell me what Gender my baby is, would you?" Hermione asked, looking at Draco who smiled.
"She will be a girl. Her hair will be silky blonde, much like her fathers, her eyes will be beautiful brown, like yours, and she will be very smart, and also very skilled in the game you call….help me here Hermes." Zeus said.
"Quiditch sir."
"Right, that. Dear God, How DO you spell that?! Whatever. That is all I needed you for."
"Excuse me, we came all the way here for this! This is all, why did we all have to come!?" Sirius said, yelling at the wall, which he thought was Zeus from under his blindfold.
"Mr. Black. I let you walk around this wondrous mountain because you cannot be at your home right now. Evil things are lurking their, and it is your destiny to not be killed. That is all." And with that, he disappeared.
"Let's go home. Apollo should be back." Hermes whispered to the shocked group.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Woods outside Lupin's house*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Harry And Violet had been walking for about 4 hours when they came to the clearing in front of Remus' House. Harry and Violet were shocked that they were so close to the house.
They saw Crabbe and Goyle guarding the doors.
"Vi, lets walk back slowly." Harry whispered. Violet rose her hand and covered Sage's mouth just before he started to wail, and muffled the sounds. They then walk backwards through the trees.
Harry lay Sage down on the leaves, and helped Violet up to the top of a tree. He then handed her the baby and pulled himself up next to them. As the sun fell behind the mountain to the west, the three of them fell asleep.
*-*-*-*In the house*-*-*-*-*
" Why hello, Tawny. You look very much like your sister, my wife!" Scott had Tawny cornered in her room, his wand pointing straight at her heart.
"Why are you here?" Tawny whimpered.
"My father, Lord Voldemort, set us up a team to get my son back, Sage. Your crafty cousin's stole them form your sister, to bring him here. He isn't here. We'll wait for him. But, first I wanted to talk to you. You see, lately, my wife has been….not so….happy. Because you aren't there, and you're her twin. So, I'm going to fix the problem. AVADA KEDAVRA!" He shouted. Tawny's limp figure fell to the floor. Scott, stood up, dusted off his hands and walked away down the hall.
"Severus, old friend!" Scott said as he came across the tied up figure of Severus Snape.
"You should really learn to respect your elders, boy." Severus spat.
Scott kicked him in the stomach with his boot and Severus groaned.
"DEATHEATERS!! Get over here. Take him away, to the castle!" With that the three deatheaters and the winded Snape vanished with a pop.
"Now, Mr. Lupin. I don't think I'll kill you. But, I think there is something you need to se." Scott lifted his wand and shouted "Accio Tawny Lupin!" In floated the limp figure into Remus' arms.
"What have you done to my baby!?" Lupin cried. But Scott just laughed and walked away.
"LAURYNA! COME DOWN HERE!" he shouted.
"Yes, Scott?"
"Lauryna, we shall wait here with Crabbe and Goyle for Sage."
But just then the three Death Eaters that had taken Snape away pooped up next to Scott.
"Sir, Sir! Master Voldemort...is dead!"
Lauryna gasped and Scott stared.
"What…what? Excuse me, what did you just say!?" With that he ran straight into one of the Death Eater and kept on running, pushing the man. He and the Death Eater slammed into the wall.
"WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU JUST SAY!?"
"I just said that Voldemort is dead. You and Lauryna are the new Dark Lords."
Scott looked over at Lauryna and with out a word, forgetting all about Sage, he ran out side to Crabbe and Goyle.
"Let's go." He said, and they apperated back to the Castle.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*In the Front Lawn**/-*-*-*-*-*
The small group of people ran out of Apollo's chariot quickly and ran into the house without a goodbye. They never saw a god or goddess again.
James was the first to enter the house, followed by every one but Sirius, who had been forgotten and was walking around in the forest, blindfolded.
James pounded through the door, just seconds after The New Dark Lord apperated out, and the first thing he saw was Lupin, crying on the floor, A dead Tawny in his arms.
"Oh, my God, Remus, what happened?!" he shouted as the rest piled in after him.
"Remus' head snapped up, tears flowing down his cheek, and he said:
" Scott, Lauryna Riddle, and some Death Eaters, came here. They killed Tawny and took Snape. They were going to stay here and wait. But then some Death Eaters came back and told them that Voldemort was dead."
"What were they waiting for!?"
"Sage, his son. Harry and Violet escaped and took him with them to prevent more boy Riddle's. Icicle, his daughter is still with Vivian. I hear most of this from the three Death Eaters watching me." With that he laid his head down on Tawny's and cried.
"Hey, um…where is Sirius?" Draco asked.
"He's here with us!" said a voice form the doorway. Harry, Violet, Sage and Sirius walked into the house. " Sirius came wondering through the woods and bumped into the tree we were hiding and we lead him back to the house." Suddenly he saw his uncle on the floor. He looked up at his father and told him the story. James called St. Mungo's and three Medi-Wizards were there immediately . They took Remus and Tawny away.
Wait, Sirius, you are not blind folded anymore. Are you in love with me?" James asked.
"No, Jamesy. Apparently, we had anther visitor. Chloe Waters was walking thorough the forest trying to find me, here at Lupin's and as we walked back here, I literally bumped into her. In the process my blindfold fell off and I looked at her."
"Chloe…is here!?" Lily asked. She looked around by Sirius, for her old friend.
"Yes, she is right behind me." Sirius pulled his hand from behind the door. In walked a beautiful women. She had Strawberry blonde hair, her eyes were a bright blue color, and she had freckles dancing across her face.
"Hi Lily!" She ran to her and they embraced. "I missed you so much! What are you doing now a days?!" Lily asked.
"Oh, well, I work for the Minister. I am his…private Secretary!"
"So, does this mean that you and Sirius are in love again?!"
"You know that I've always loved Sirius. But when the blind fold fell off, and she saw me, he was in love."
"He's always loved you. Hermes took away that spell on the way back. You are truly in love!" James laughed.
"WHAT! You didn't tell me!"
"I guess it's a good thing he didn't!" Chloe giggled and kissed Sirius for a while on the lips.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*A month later*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Sage was fitting in wonderfully. He loved Chloe and Sirius. Hermione was growuing slightly, but there was barely anything to notice. Lily was planning Draco and Hermione's Wedding. Harry spent everyday sitting with Ginny on the porch talking. Ron and Violet were usually out.
Remus had a mental break down at the loss of his children and was advised to stay at Mungo's for a year.
James had fully taken on Headmaster ship at Hogwarts after the children resigned, saying they needed to be teens, for now. He was re-building the school after the battle. Owling students that it was safe to come back, Voldemort was dead.
One day Harry was walking with Lily in the woods.
"Mom, I've been meaning to ask you something."
"Yes, Harry?"
"Well, if you and dad weren't killed. All the dreams I had of flashing green lights. What were they, if they weren't Avada Kedavra?"
"Well, your sister and you were both born with blue eyes. Violet's though, were light, light blue. I wanted you both to remember me, so at the last minute I took my wand and transported my eye color onto you and made Violet's eyes as blue as your father's, so that every time you'd look into the mirror, you would…I guess see my love. I guess the flash of green was the green of my eye, no...it was more than that….it was the flash of love."

*
Excerpt from Chapter 18:
But after they thought everything was alright Tawny let out a scream from the kitchen.
She was writhing on the floor when Remus entered.
"Tawny what is going on?" Lily Screamed.
"It's Vivian…she's in great pain I feel it… I think, she's having a baby!! AHHHHHH!!!!!"
*
"A WHAT!!!" Remus screamed.
But Tawny couldn't answer. She was going through the same pains as her sister had when she'd given birth to Sage and Icicle. Lily, Hermione and Ginny rushed forward and tried to comfort her but at no avail.
Suddenly she stopped and smiled. Her eyes glazed over and she fell back onto the floor, sweating.
After a few minutes she woke up and smiled again.
"Vivian just had two children. Sage and Icicle Riddle."
"Sage and Icicle WHO?" Sirius yelled as he and James caught Remus, who had just fainted.
*-*-*-*-*-*Voldemort's Castle*-*-**-*-*-*-*
"Harry, we have to get out of here!!" Violet whispered into her brother's ear one night while Sage and Icicle screamed.
Vivian held Sage and Scott held Icicle but the babies would not stop crying. Harry looked at the babies and saw Sage move his hand upward towards his sister.
Then, he understood. He looked at Violet and smiled.
He walked over to Vivian and took Sage from her. Then in his other arm he took Icicle. He layed both of them down in the crib side by side. They stopped crying immediately after their sides were touching.
Vivian gasped and Scott smiled.
"We should have known. We are all twins in this house, with the exception of my father." No one was looking at Vivian at that moment. They were all staring at the babies on the bed, but if they had been watching Vivian they would've seen a look of sadness cross her face and a single tear roll down her cheek.
*
Vivian watched Harry and Violet very closely. She knew that they missed their brother and their parents. She did too, but she would never admit it. So, why was she planning to do what she was about to do?
Because if Sage were to grow up with Scott and Voldemort, he would be a third Generation Evil Lord, and she knew that would be the fall of all good, meaning the fall of her sister and her father.
So, her plan was simple. She'd get Harry and Violet out of the house and look like it was a struggle. She'd get them out, and let them take Sage.
'I can't let both of my babies go, but if Icicle were to grow she wouldn't be as evil as her father and grand-father, right? is a girl.' she thought.
She didn't know how wrong she was.
*
So, on the night after Harry demonstrated the love of twins, Vivian picked up her children and told Scott she wanted to take a walk around the grounds. As she expected, he told Harry and Violet to escort her.
"I'll be right back." Vivian said. She waked up to Scott and he hugged and kissed his children, she made sure he had time to say good-bye to Sage.
"Let's go!" She screeched at Harry and Violet, who sat up and ran to catch up to her.
*-*-*-*-*--*-*-*-*Lupin's House*-*-*-*-*-*-*
James, Remus, Lily, Severus, and Sirius were all sitting around the fire. James had his hand on his brother's shoulder.
"Remus, It'll be OK. Maybe we can get her and the babies when we try to get Harry and Violet." He whispered.
"We don't even know where the castle is! And, plus, who says Vivian will come with us? She hates me!" Remus screamed.
"She doesn't hate you! You cannot hate your father! And she doesn't hate Tawny! I know that for a fact!! They are twins, and I know it is hurting both of them to be apart! I would know! YOU would know, James was your brother, are you saying it didn't hurt either of you to be apart?!!" Lily yelled.
Remus saw the truth in her words. He had missed James after he supposedly died. She knew he'd missed him, same for Lily and Severus. But it must have been worse for Sirius. He'd been all alone his whole life, then his best friends die.
"We need to find out where his castle is." Severus said.
"Yeah, if we don't then…well, my children won't come back, and I don't think I can bare loosing them again." James said, staring down at his hands.
"I know how you feel, losing someone to…him."
"Sirius, don't you start talking about Chloe. It wasn't him who did this." James comforted his friend.
"She loved me, but I couldn't love her back. If I would've Voldemort would've killed her. She said she'd wait for me. Said she'd never love another man, James, I ruined her life."
"Soon He'll be gone, and we'll find Chloe again."
"But I'll never be able to love her, knowing that I hurt her. I won't be able to love her!"
"Those things can be changed."
*
Upstairs, The kids were having there own conversation, but it was on a whole different subject.
Ginny had called everyone into her room and she sat on her bed and said:
"Hermione, I don't think you had mono."
"Ginny, what are you talking about! You saw how sick she was!" Ron yelled.
"I know. But her symptoms weren't that of mono!!" Ginny shouted back.
"Hermione, do you know what she is talking about?" Draco asked.
Hermione looked down and started to cry. She shook her head yes.
"What is it Hermione?!" Tawny asked, scooting over to her.
"I….I…Can't…I'm…I can't tell you." Hermione said and she ran out of the room and into the bathroom, slamming the door.
"I'll go talk to her!" Ginny said, and she walked to the bathroom.
"Hermione." She whispered. "I'm sorry, Herms. Look, I won't tell them if you don't want me to." Ginny said.
Hermione opened the door and Ginny walked in.
*
"How could this happen?! I'm Hermione Granger! Top of my class, best grades…Ginny, Why me?!" Hermione looked up.
"Hermione, you should have used protection. It is know ones fault but your own. I know you think I'm being rude Hermione, but it is all true." Ginny said.
(a/n: Oh my God, I'm evil, I'm a sinner. What is it with me and teenage parent-hood. I'm sooo sorry to people against this, Hell, I'm VERYU against this, but, it is the only way it'll work..LL sooo sorry, again)
"I know…I just….would you get Draco please?"
"Yeah." Ginny walked out and a minute later, Draco walked in.
"Ginny said you had something to tell me." He whispered.
"Yes. Draco…do you remember that night before the battle? !a/n: Ooo, Hermione and Draco got Giggy...LOL) Well, Draco…I'm…I'm Pregnant." Hermione started to sob again.
"Oh, my God. Hermione. We forgot to use protection…Hermione, this is all my fault. We need to tell someone, we can get the baby terminated." Draco said, his hand on his forehead.
"We can't KILL it! That is horrible…no….Oh, Draco, I don't know what to do…I'm so scared. I saw how much pain Tawny was in because of Vivian and I don't know if I'm ready. Maybe we should terminate it…" She trailed off.
Just then a lighting bolt flew through the ceiling and landed on the floor next to Hermione and Draco.
In a minute everyone in the house, 14 and up, had piled into the small bathroom.
(A/n: ::slaps ruler on desk:: CLASS LISTEN UP!!!…this is where it starts to get VERY...mythical….gods and goddesses of Greek and Rome……so, if you think I am offending God in some way or you don't like myths this is a warning….don't read on if you can't handle it…m'kay?!*-*)
Everyone was staring at the lighting bolt in the middle of the room. It wasn't a kind of lighting bolt where some light strikes down and buzzes a hole in the ozone-layer, no, this was a real, golden, zigzagged lighting bolt, sitting next to the toilet. It was glowing gold and sort of buzzing.
"That…That…is one of Zeus' lightning bolts." Remus said. He looked over at the shocked Hermione and Draco.
"I need you to tell me exactly what you were talking about when this thing flew into the room."
"We…I…I was saying that.." Hermione gulped and tears streamed down her face.
"Hermione, honey, we need you to explain to us what you were saying. This lightning bolt is one of Zeus'. You know who he is right?" Lily asked and Hermione nodded. "He is the king of the ancient Greek Gods."
"But, he isn't real. Zeus, Hera, Hercules, they're myths." Ginny said.
"Actually they are real. They are just a different kind of human…like wizards, muggles, dwarfs, elves. But they are very much alive. They don't rule over mortals or anything like that. They have a little authority and they are the ones who make prophecies and such. Usually they leave us alone, but sometimes they need to tell us things, about a prophecy or something they foresaw that could interfere with the natural balance of things. Muggles of course, believe they are myths, just like us. But they are very much real." Lily explained.
"So that means that Zeus sent this lightning bolt down because of something you said, and we need to know what it was." Sirius said.
Hermione started to cry, realizing that she would have to have the baby, and that she would have to reveal it to the people in the room.
"I'm…I'm pregnant…and…and…I was telling Draco, since he was the father and we were talking about getting it terminated before any one else found out." She explained, and then she went into another fit of sobs.
"Oh, my God." Ron let out a breath he had been holding. Tawny slapped her hand to her mouth, James, Sirius, Severus, and James looked like they had seen ghosts, but Lily smiled.
"Honey, I want to tell you something." She scooted over to Hermione and looked up a the grown men. "I want you to go. I think Hermione needs her friends right now. I'll leave when I'm done. Tawny maybe you should go too." Everyone other than Ginny, Ron and Draco shuffled out obediently.
"Hermione, here in the Wizarding world we do some things earlier then in the muggle world. We graduate earlier, we move out earlier, and sometimes, we have children earlier. I got pregnant young, my baby died. I was younger than you were when I got pregnant, 14! You do not have to be ashamed about this. I was so ashamed, but then I had Harry and Violet. Babies are the most wonderful thing in the world, especially one thay you created. One that you brought into this world."
"But, Lily, You don't understand I'm…"
"You are a prefect, get the best grades in your school and I bet you passed your O.W.L.'s with flying colors. Same here, Hermione."
"But, everyone will know at school."
"Magic can be very helpful."
And with that Lily left the room. Draco held Hermione while she cried.
"Let's go downstairs…Ron help me with this." Ron and Draco pulled the lightning bolt out of the floor. With that they walked down stairs. Ginny helped Hermione up and they followed.
*
As they descended all of the adults and Tawny stared up at them. Hermione looked at James, fearing that he would give her some lecture, but he smiled and said: "Well, Hermione, you've made me a grandpa."
Hermione smiled and they all sat down.
"Ok, we really need to talk about this." Severus said.
"Yeah, I think Zeus' bolt was a sign to make Hermione quit thinking of terminating her baby." Sirius said.
"That is absolutely correct!" Everyone looked over to the door where a man, about 6 foot five stood. He was no ordinary man. His skin seemed to glow, he was wearing a sort of skirt, with a golden belt, and he had a hat on. The hat had small wings on the back, same with is leg-wrap-around sandals. Ginny was the first to understand who he was.
"Oh, my GOD! It's Hermes! The messenger God of Mount Olympus!!!!!"
"Correct again! We DO have smart bunch here!"
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Voldemort's Castle*-*-*-*-*-**-*-*-*
As soon as Vivian was sure they were not being followed she sharply turned around.
"You, two, I want you to follow me this instant!" She twirled around and ran down the hall, holding Sage to her.
She reached the doors and stepped out. As they walked to the edge of the grounds she explained to them:
"Okay, this is my plan. I know that if Sage grows to be older he'll be the third male generation Riddle. And that is not good for you guys and your family. My family. So, I want you to stun me, leave Icicle here and take Sage."
"WHAT!? You're letting us go?" Violet yelled.
"Why?" Harry's mouth was in a large 'o'.
"One, you are my cousins, two, I've seen how much you miss your brother, I miss my sister. I can handle
That, you cannot. Now let me say good-bye." She looked Sage into the eyes and said: "Your mother loves you. But, Harry and Violet here need to take you now, honey. I love more than anything on this Earth, and I want you to know that. Harry, take this and give it to him when he is older."
She took her necklace off and handed it to him. It was a golden chain with a very small globe hanging in the middle. "In this necklace is my love. I enchanted this for him. Whenever he wears it, it will give off my love. Good -bye my baby." She handed Sage over to Harry, took Icicle from Violet and pointed her wand at herself "I think I'll stun myself."
She lay down on the ground and held Icicle next to her. She again pointed her wand at herself and was about to shout when Harry stopped her.
"Vivian. Voldemort will know, he'll probably give you truth potion. Let me do it, so that if he question you, you won't be lying when you say I stunned you." And with that Vivian, for the second time, lay down and Harry shouted: "STUPEFY!!!!!"
She closed her eyes and Icicle started to scream. Harry saw that she was reaching for Sage. His heart nearly ripped into to a hundred pieces when Violet pulled him away and the babies were torn apart, forever.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Lupin's House*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Well, I've come here to collect you all. Well, all of you except you, you and you." He pointed to Snape, Tawny and Remus.
James was about to protest but Hermes stepped forwards and said:
"It is the way of Zeus, let's go Hermione." He held out a hand and she took it. He looked back at them all and turned around letting go of her hand.
"OK, this is the deal. We are all going to have to get up there. and I only have two hands. So, I'm going to have to call a Chariot. You may sit and lounge for a while, I guess. Let me call Apollo."
"Wait, you mean THE Apollo? God of the sun, and Beauty, son of Zeus and Letto, twin brother to Artemis, Apollo?" Ginny asked.
"Yep. That's him. He and his sun chariot are going to pick us all up." With that he took a small object out of his strange outfit. Hermione looked closer and saw that is was a cell phone.
"What, gotta keep up with those muggles. Hello, Apollo, yes this is Hermes. you know your father's appointment. Well, I have to get the up to Mt. Olympus some how. What!? no we aren't going to walk! It is Zeus' way! Apollo you listen to me this instant! You will come down here and pick us up. I don't care. No, No. No. No. OK, fine. Alright, we will be here. The Address is 1234 Cedar St. Yes, on Earth! Ok, Ok. Ok Ok" He flipped the phone closed and smiled at them.
"He has to take the sun down, and then he'll be here. So, this gives us some time to get acquainted! My name is Hermes. I already know your names, Draco, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Lily, James, Sirius, Severus, Remus, and Tawny. Though, we are missing some people tonight. I can tell you one thing about them...the younger ones I believe are the ones coming home. Harry and Violet Potter, yes, I remember well, the night their parents were taken under Voldemort's wing. Oh, wait that was you two, wasn't it...well...HAHA....never thought I'd see you two again. I was there with Iris. She is also a messenger, and the goddess of the Rainbow. We were there to make sure Harry and Violet survived." Suddenly there was a noise form outside. Hermes stood up and smiled.
"That'll be Apollo, come! We are off to Mt. Olympus!"
"So, we are actually going to where the God's live!?" Draco yelled.
"Sure! Let's go!"
"We are aloud in!? But we're mortals!" Draco pointed out.
"Yes, and you are also magical. Muggles cannot enter, but...for some reason you can. Anyway, Zeus has said that you will come, so nothing can stop you." He smiled and kept walking, followed by all who were going to see the gods.
"Hermes! Hurry up! I have things to do!" a voice shouted from around the house. Hermes walked out and everyone slowly followed him. What they saw when they stepped off the porch amazed them.
It was Apollo. He was at least 7 feet tall. His skin glowed more gold then Hermes and his hair was bright red as well. He looked a little like Ron. His Chariot was fit for not one but at least 10 7 foot men, and they all fit comfortably inside it. The horses were a bright red color and it hurt to look at them.
As Apollo took off he looked back at Hermes.
"Get out, Hermes, you can fly."
"Apollo! Fine!" Hermes jumped off the edge of the chariot and flew next to the horses.
"So, this is your sun chariot?" Hermione asked.
"Yes it is. I carry the sun around in this. If I had the sun with me, it would've scorched the Earth. And you."
He chuckled and no one else spoke.
It got darker and darker the farther they got from Earth. Hermione was about say something about breathing, and gravity, but decided to be quiet. She got more tired by the second and soon, her head was resting on Draco's shoulder and she was asleep.
*
Ginny woke up suddenly. The Chariot had just jerked. She looked next to her and saw Hermione soundly sleeping on Draco's shoulder. He was still asleep and she giggled when she saw a small bit of drool on his shoulder where Hermione was sleeping.
"What's so funny?" She jumped and looked over at Ron. He was sitting to her left next to Lily, James, and
Sirius, who were also sleeping. She suddenly realized that it was no longer dark.
"Ginny, you have got to see this." Ron whispered. He was standing at the edge of The Chariot and looking over the edge.
She walked over to him and gasped.
The Chariot was resting on a pure, white marble floor. She looked around and saw about 500 brightly
shining, multi-colored, horses. They were in a stable. The stable of Mt. Olympus!
"Oh, good! You're awake!! Now, would you kindly wake your friends? We need to see Zeus." Hermes flew in front of them, blocking their view of the horses.
Ron recuperated from the shock first and moved to wake up the adults. Ginny walked over to Hermione and gently lifted her head from his shoulder. She gently shook her and Hermione opened her eyes. She looked around and noticed that is was light out. She opened her mouth in delight and screamed in Draco's ear.
"DRACO!! WE'RE AT MT. OLYMPUS!!!!!!!!" He jumped about 4 feet into the air and looked around saying in a horse voice:
"Where's the fire? What? Oh, we are here...OK." He moved to go back asleep, but Hermione took his hand and pulled him upright. She ran to the edge of the Chariot, pulling him beside her and gasped at the horses.
The bright colors seemed to wake him and he rubbed his eyes.
"Whoa..."
"Yes, Yes, I'm sure your all excited, but Apollo needs to retrieve the sun, and bring it to Earth now. So, we need to get out of this smelly stable and off to Zeus' castle!" With that he swished his hand and the chariot disappeared from under their feet. They all fell about 3 feet to the ground and quickly got up.
"SIR! That was uncalled for!" Sirius was yelling, but Hermes seemed to not be listening. He looked back and smiled.
"Come along!" And with that they all followed him out of the marble stables.
**-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-**Voldemort's Castle*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Vivian awoke in her bed. She sat up quickly and looked around. Lauryna was next to her, Scott was pacing by the door and Lord Voldemort was holding Icicle, making strange cooing noises.
"Scott?" She said, her voice cracking.
"VIVIAN! You're, OK! We found you by the edge of the grounds, stunned. Icicle was in your arms.
"Where is Sage!?" Vivian screamed, she knew where he was, but she felt panic running up her throat. 'What have I done? My son is…gone.' she thought.
"Honey, He, Harry and Violet are gone. I'm sorry. They stunned you and only took him." Scott got closer to her and held her hand as she cried. 'Why did I do this? I've never felt hurt like this before.' She thought.
"What about Icicle?" She whimpered, playing her part in the fib, although she did feel a bit worried.
"She's right here." Voldemort's cruel voice said from the chair he was sitting in. He stood up and brought the baby to Vivian.
"I'll leave you two alone." He said, and walked out, motioning for Lauryna to follow him. She did, but only after looking at Vivian with a hard look in her eyes. She knew.
"Vivian, what happened?"
"We were out walking and out of no where, Harry pulls out his wand and stupefies me....that is all I remember."
"How did he get his wand?"
Vivian started to sweat. She had given him his wand back.
"I...I...Don't know, Scott."
"I'm sending deatheaters to your father's house. We are getting Sage back." Vivian tried to protest, but knew it wouldn't help and she laid her head back down. and fell asleep with Icicle in her arms.
*
"Scott, what in God's name are you doing!!" Lauryna was shouting at her brother. He was about to walk in on is father's meeting with the death eaters.
"Those filthy rats took my son!"
With that he threw the door open.
"SCOTT! I've already got a team to get your son back!"
"Good. Let's go."
"What do you mean, LET'S!?" Lauryna screamed.
"I MEAN, I'm going to lead the team." Scott started to walk and motioned for the Death Eaters to follow him, and they did.
"WHAT!? Those wizards are very powerful, Scott!"
He whirled around and looked at her. "I know what I am doing, Lauryna. Leave me alone!"
"SCOTT! I'm coming with you."
"No, you are staying with Vivian." He started to walk away again.
"Scott, I think she really needs to be alone right now. Her baby was just taken from her."
He looked back at her and stared deeply into her eyes.
"Fine, but hurry up and get dressed in Death Eater robes and out of those....green ones, you'll make yourself...seeable." With that he walked down the hall, followed by 5 Death Eaters.
Lauryna ran to her room and changed into her black robes, and took off her dress shoes, replacing them with black boots. She pulled her hair up into a pony-tail.
*
"Hurry up Lauryna!! I don't have all night!!"
"Sorry, Scott. I thought you wanted me to take off my "Dress clothes?"
"Fine, lets go."
"Where exactly are we going?"
"To Vivian's Father's house."
"But won't they still--"
"Lauryna, I'm leading this mission, not you!"
*-**-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Olympus*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
The small group reached The Gates of Olympus in a few seconds flat.
"Now, you will each see a few of Zeus' children before you enter his castle. Do any of you have anyone you want to see? Athena, Hercules, Apollo oh you've already seen him....er....Artemis?" Hermes asked.
"So, there really is a Hercules, and a Zeus and a...you?" Draco said, still not believing that all of this was real.
"Yes! Listen Child! Muggles don't believe in you unless they've SEEN you or crossed your path, because you are a wizard, and magic is not real to muggles. We are not real to you for the same reason....so get over it. I am REALLYYY HERE!"
Draco was about to throw a rude comment back to the...er...man, when Hermione squeezed his hand whispered. He shut up after she mumbled on about Draco not being Immortal or 7 feet tall.
"Fine, no answers? I guess we'll see Athena First. Now, be on your best behavior. And hope and pray that Ares isn't around. You all know who he is right, not all of you...dear. He is the god of War.....evil war kinda...not like Athena, the goddess of FAIR war. They hate each oth--- Speak of the devil..." Hermes
trailed off.
He turned around and looked at them.
"I think we'll just go see...CUPID!" He started to walk and everyone turned to follow him.
*
Finally they reached a large hill. On top of that hill was a large castle.
"Wait, I thought you said we'd see Zeus' children. Isn't Cupid….Aphrodite's kid?" Lily Whispered.
"Well, seeing as Hepheastus was Zeus' child and Cupid is his son, he is Zeus' grandson same thing!"
He walked up to the castle door and knocked. A woman answered the door. She was Beautiful.
"Ah, Ms. Psyce! How are you? Now, Where is your husband?"
"Oh, um….I believe he is….on the hunt."
"Oh…dear." Hermes was bout to run back to the small group of Magical people, but it was too late,. Cupid shot an arrow to them and it hit Sirius in the back. No blood came but instead, golden sparks flew from the tip of the arrow.
"SIRIUS! CLOSE YOUR EYES!!!!!!!!!!" Hermes screamed. Sirius looked stunned but closed his eyes al the time. The effect didn't work for Hermes, because one he was a god and two he was in the same sex as Sirius and Zeus had made it clear…"God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve." Zeus was a homophobe…. (a/n: I'm soo sorry, I HAD to do that...tee-hee)
Psyche ran down the hill to Hermes and handed him a sort of bandana. He took it and wrapped it around Sirius' head.
"I am so sorry." Psyche said. She started walk up the hill mumbling about Cupid not getting whoopi tonight.
"What in the BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sirius screamed.
James started to laugh and everyone joined in.
"Sirius, you, you've just been hit by one of Cupid's ARROWS!!!" James said.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
When Scott, Lauryna and the other Deatheaters left, Voldemort sensed he had to do something. He, the Dark Lord, sitting back while his weak children fought.
He got dressed in his robes and apperated into the forest. Right where Violet sat, holding Sage.
He hadn't expected it. Not in a million years. But he recovered fast. He whipped his wand out of his pocket and pointed it at \/iolet.
"Hand over the boy! Do as I say foolish Girl!" He screamed
But just as he was bout to scream the killing curse, he saw Harry running towards him, wand out screaming for Violet to run.
Voldemort looked at Harry in amazement. If you had compared this scene to the one that had occurred roughly 15 years before, you would only see a few differences, the eye color, the baby, and the setting. Voldemort remembered the night of his downfall. He had been asking Lily for the boy. Lily was holding the baby, close, not letting it go. James had been running towards him, yelling at Lily to run. Everything here was the same…
"Violet, get out of here! I'll take care of him."
"No, Harry. NO! The Necklace!" She screamed. Harry looked confused then plunged his hand into his pocket. Voldemort shook him self out of his memories and pointed his wand at Harry.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" He shouted. A green beam of light flew towards Harry who was standing stock still. In his hand was a golden chain. As a last defense to his life, Harry rose the necklace in front of his face. Voldemort cackled insanely at the poor attempt Harry took to try and save himself, his sister, and Sage.
As the green beam hit the necklace It stopped. Everyone thought the curse was defective but not even a millisecond later the necklace exploded in green light. It made all in the forest blind as it shined through the trees. In made loud booming sounds as each side of the globe exploded in light.
When the light finally stopped shining and sounding Harry stood up and looked around. Violet was still sitting down with Sage in her arms. The baby was crying. Harry remembered that Voldemort had been there and looked around. All he could see was a pile of robes and ashes. Voldemort was dead.
Harry rose the necklace to his eyes and chuckled. He opened the clasps and hooked it around Sage's neck. The baby stopped crying. With one more look at what used to be Voldemort, Harry helped his sister up and all three walked into the clearing, the sun shining brightly on their faces.
A few minutes later a breeze blew by and swept up Voldemort's ashes. He had been right, there was only one thing that was more powerful then he, Love.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Back on Mt. Olympus!*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
" WHAT!?" Sirius screamed.
"Look, Mr. Black, why don't we go see Zeus now and see if he can fix it. He needs to talk to Hermione and Draco anyway." Hermes guided him back over the hill, and once again, everyone followed.
A few minutes later they reached a huge palace. Each gasped as two guards opened the door and ushered them in.
"Finally! You come! I have been waiting for you!" A voice boomed from a huge throne across the hall. It was Zeus.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Woods outside Lupin's house*-**-*-*-*-*
"OK, men, Lauryna, we are just outside Lupin's house! You two, make sure her father is taken care of. Lauryna, you go around looking for Sage. You, go find Severus Snape and bring him to me, alive. I have other business. Mr. Crabbe, Mr. Goyle, you stand guard and kill anyone who gets close. Let's go!" Scott shouted and ran into the house.
*-*-*-*Olympus*-*-*-*
"Come, sit and have some nectar and ambrosia." Zeus called. They could not see him yet, but he sounded close.
"Sir, Zeus. Please make your self seeable." Hermes said, a trace of a frown on his face.
"Of course." And suddenly an 8 foot man, with a grey beard and curly, grey hair, with the most shocking blue eyes appeared before him.
"Come, let us go!"
He led them into a huge room and they all sat around a table that looked to be made of gold.
"Now, down to business. Ms. Granger, come to me." Hermione stepped closer to him and he cupped her chin in his hand.
"Ms, Granger. I'm very proud of you. And I hope these fine people are too. This baby that you are carrying, though you may be young, is vital to the survival of everything. As it grows with the other young one, it shall become powerful through love." Everyone's head swiveled around to Ginny, but she looked as dumbfounded as they. " You have not met this little one yet. He will come tonight with the others. Though Ms. Ginny, WILL have children, it will not be for a bit." He chuckled and let Hermione go. "Young child, once you give birth to this baby, your destiny, will be partly fulfilled. But, there are some thing you need to do first."
"Sir, umm….you wouldn't be able to tell me what Gender my baby is, would you?" Hermione asked, looking at Draco who smiled.
"She will be a girl. Her hair will be silky blonde, much like her fathers, her eyes will be beautiful brown, like yours, and she will be very smart, and also very skilled in the game you call….help me here Hermes." Zeus said.
"Quiditch sir."
"Right, that. Dear God, How DO you spell that?! Whatever. That is all I needed you for."
"Excuse me, we came all the way here for this! This is all, why did we all have to come!?" Sirius said, yelling at the wall, which he thought was Zeus from under his blindfold.
"Mr. Black. I let you walk around this wondrous mountain because you cannot be at your home right now. Evil things are lurking their, and it is your destiny to not be killed. That is all." And with that, he disappeared.
"Let's go home. Apollo should be back." Hermes whispered to the shocked group.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Woods outside Lupin's house*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Harry And Violet had been walking for about 4 hours when they came to the clearing in front of Remus' House. Harry and Violet were shocked that they were so close to the house.
They saw Crabbe and Goyle guarding the doors.
"Vi, lets walk back slowly." Harry whispered. Violet rose her hand and covered Sage's mouth just before he started to wail, and muffled the sounds. They then walk backwards through the trees.
Harry lay Sage down on the leaves, and helped Violet up to the top of a tree. He then handed her the baby and pulled himself up next to them. As the sun fell behind the mountain to the west, the three of them fell asleep.
*-*-*-*In the house*-*-*-*-*
" Why hello, Tawny. You look very much like your sister, my wife!" Scott had Tawny cornered in her room, his wand pointing straight at her heart.
"Why are you here?" Tawny whimpered.
"My father, Lord Voldemort, set us up a team to get my son back, Sage. Your crafty cousin's stole them form your sister, to bring him here. He isn't here. We'll wait for him. But, first I wanted to talk to you. You see, lately, my wife has been….not so….happy. Because you aren't there, and you're her twin. So, I'm going to fix the problem. AVADA KEDAVRA!" He shouted. Tawny's limp figure fell to the floor. Scott, stood up, dusted off his hands and walked away down the hall.
"Severus, old friend!" Scott said as he came across the tied up figure of Severus Snape.
"You should really learn to respect your elders, boy." Severus spat.
Scott kicked him in the stomach with his boot and Severus groaned.
"DEATHEATERS!! Get over here. Take him away, to the castle!" With that the three deatheaters and the winded Snape vanished with a pop.
"Now, Mr. Lupin. I don't think I'll kill you. But, I think there is something you need to se." Scott lifted his wand and shouted "Accio Tawny Lupin!" In floated the limp figure into Remus' arms.
"What have you done to my baby!?" Lupin cried. But Scott just laughed and walked away.
"LAURYNA! COME DOWN HERE!" he shouted.
"Yes, Scott?"
"Lauryna, we shall wait here with Crabbe and Goyle for Sage."
But just then the three Death Eaters that had taken Snape away pooped up next to Scott.
"Sir, Sir! Master Voldemort...is dead!"
Lauryna gasped and Scott stared.
"What…what? Excuse me, what did you just say!?" With that he ran straight into one of the Death Eater and kept on running, pushing the man. He and the Death Eater slammed into the wall.
"WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU JUST SAY!?"
"I just said that Voldemort is dead. You and Lauryna are the new Dark Lords."
Scott looked over at Lauryna and with out a word, forgetting all about Sage, he ran out side to Crabbe and Goyle.
"Let's go." He said, and they apperated back to the Castle.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*In the Front Lawn**/-*-*-*-*-*
The small group of people ran out of Apollo's chariot quickly and ran into the house without a goodbye. They never saw a god or goddess again.
James was the first to enter the house, followed by every one but Sirius, who had been forgotten and was walking around in the forest, blindfolded.
James pounded through the door, just seconds after The New Dark Lord apperated out, and the first thing he saw was Lupin, crying on the floor, A dead Tawny in his arms.
"Oh, my God, Remus, what happened?!" he shouted as the rest piled in after him.
"Remus' head snapped up, tears flowing down his cheek, and he said:
" Scott, Lauryna Riddle, and some Death Eaters, came here. They killed Tawny and took Snape. They were going to stay here and wait. But then some Death Eaters came back and told them that Voldemort was dead."
"What were they waiting for!?"
"Sage, his son. Harry and Violet escaped and took him with them to prevent more boy Riddle's. Icicle, his daughter is still with Vivian. I hear most of this from the three Death Eaters watching me." With that he laid his head down on Tawny's and cried.
"Hey, um…where is Sirius?" Draco asked.
"He's here with us!" said a voice form the doorway. Harry, Violet, Sage and Sirius walked into the house. " Sirius came wondering through the woods and bumped into the tree we were hiding and we lead him back to the house." Suddenly he saw his uncle on the floor. He looked up at his father and told him the story. James called St. Mungo's and three Medi-Wizards were there immediately . They took Remus and Tawny away.
Wait, Sirius, you are not blind folded anymore. Are you in love with me?" James asked.
"No, Jamesy. Apparently, we had anther visitor. Chloe Waters was walking thorough the forest trying to find me, here at Lupin's and as we walked back here, I literally bumped into her. In the process my blindfold fell off and I looked at her."
"Chloe…is here!?" Lily asked. She looked around by Sirius, for her old friend.
"Yes, she is right behind me." Sirius pulled his hand from behind the door. In walked a beautiful women. She had Strawberry blonde hair, her eyes were a bright blue color, and she had freckles dancing across her face.
"Hi Lily!" She ran to her and they embraced. "I missed you so much! What are you doing now a days?!" Lily asked.
"Oh, well, I work for the Minister. I am his…private Secretary!"
"So, does this mean that you and Sirius are in love again?!"
"You know that I've always loved Sirius. But when the blind fold fell off, and she saw me, he was in love."
"He's always loved you. Hermes took away that spell on the way back. You are truly in love!" James laughed.
"WHAT! You didn't tell me!"
"I guess it's a good thing he didn't!" Chloe giggled and kissed Sirius for a while on the lips.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*A month later*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Sage was fitting in wonderfully. He loved Chloe and Sirius. Hermione was growuing slightly, but there was barely anything to notice. Lily was planning Draco and Hermione's Wedding. Harry spent everyday sitting with Ginny on the porch talking. Ron and Violet were usually out.
Remus had a mental break down at the loss of his children and was advised to stay at Mungo's for a year.
James had fully taken on Headmaster ship at Hogwarts after the children resigned, saying they needed to be teens, for now. He was re-building the school after the battle. Owling students that it was safe to come back, Voldemort was dead.
One day Harry was walking with Lily in the woods.
"Mom, I've been meaning to ask you something."
"Yes, Harry?"
"Well, if you and dad weren't killed. All the dreams I had of flashing green lights. What were they, if they weren't Avada Kedavra?"
"Well, your sister and you were both born with blue eyes. Violet's though, were light, light blue. I wanted you both to remember me, so at the last minute I took my wand and transported my eye color onto you and made Violet's eyes as blue as your father's, so that every time you'd look into the mirror, you would…I guess see my love. I guess the flash of green was the green of my eye, no...it was more than that….it was the flash of love."
A/n: Ok, chapter 19. One more to go..!!! Ok, I need help on the title for the sequel…All I have come up with is…The Potters II….teehee…so please help me!!!
That is all.
