Chapter 6: Pure Blood
The three remaining of the quads placed a finger on a drop of blood on their sister's hand above Ivy's head. Danielle whispered, "You, my dear sister, were born in order for us to return father to his most glorious form. Die in knowing that your life has amounted to much, much more than what it would be you alive."
The four threw their heads towards the sky, discarded their wands, and chanted. i "Eway, ethay orfay ofday ethay ightymay atherfay Voldemort, ombinecay otay ingbray orthfay ethay evilday onceday againday" /i (A/N: I used pig latin here, so if anyone knows it, they'll most likely understand what the quads said.)
A blue light grew from their hands, surrounding them. A humming noise rose, and became so deafening that Harry had to pull up his broom, and the four running towards the quads had to stop and cover their ears.
Amidst the blue light, four silhouettes combined into one. The blue light vanished, as did the humming. In its place stood one girl, who obviously had a lot of power. Her blonde hair waved in a non-existent wind, blue electrical sparks ran through.
Ivy started to back away from the combined quads, but they noticed and pointed a finger at her. Apparently, hand magic was different to wand, as the words that were said held entirely no meaning. Ivy gasped, as suddenly, she froze in mid-step, falling and landing hard.
The quads laughed and let their finger raise upward, taking Ivy with it. Her long blondish hair faded out completely to white, a noticeable blemish against her tanned skin.
Ginny screamed, and noticed Harry on broomstick above the train. "Harry! Do something!"
Whether or not he actually heard her, she didn't know, but he leant forwards and raced his broom towards the powerful girl.
Hermione stopped running, as did Draco, and pointed her wand at Ivy. "Releaserio," she cried out, but winced as something struck her in the side. She looked down to see a large, red mark cover her side, feeling as though it were eating away at her body. She looked up to see Lucius Malfoy standing, feet squared, with his wand pointed at her.
She felt herself drop to the ground, breaking the spell she'd cast on Ivy. Draco ran to her side, anger boiling inside as he turned to face his father. "Destryolae," he called out, pointing Hermione's wand at his father.
The heavy force struck him dead on, sending him flying back about thirty meters to land in the branches of a tree. He looked at Hermione, who was now completely unconscious. "C'mon, wake up."
Meanwhile, her started spell had released Ivy's arms. The old, dead tree by her side was almost in reach. If she leant forwards just a little....
Ginny and Percy stopped running, watching the quads warily. They laughed, an eerie hollow sound. "You think you can stop us? You are wrong. Nothing can stop us. Very soon we shall have taken all we need of the pure potion to revive father. And when that happens, you will *never* destroy the lord Voldemort again...."
Harry stopped his broom just as he realized he couldn't bring himself to gather the last potion. The flasks had killed every one of the living potions... he didn't want the death of a human on his hands. He threw the flask down onto the ground, shattering it, and pulled out his wand.
Percy and Ginny held their wands at arms length, trying to gain the courage to use the killing curse on the quads, but fearful that they would miss and kill Ivy instead.
Ivy reached out for the branch, missing it by millimeters. She knew that she was the pure potion, and she knew that if she died, her father wouldn't be brought back. The potion needed to be living. If she died, perhaps somewhere another child would be cursed with the potion... perhaps her sisters wouldn't find the next child... she had to try something... she didn't want Ginny to be hurt. Ginny Weasley didn't deserve it.
She stretched out again, this time grabbing it. Using all her weight, she pushed herself forwards a little, allowing her to grasp the branch more firmly. She looked down and called out, "Father needs a living potion to become revived... and it wont be me!"
Everyone looked up, Draco included. Ivy looked at Ginny, who was almost crying. "Goodbye..." she whispered, knowing that Ginny had heard, somehow. She grabbed the branch, pulling herself with more strength then she thought possible, until the branch went straight through her. She gasped, feeling the incredible pressure, feeling no pain.
The quads screamed. "No! This isn't right!" Draco, Percy, Ginny, and Harry used this to their advantage, each yelling a different curse, or spell.
"Destryolae," yelled Draco.
"Crucio," yelled Percy.
"Fatarlia," yelled Ginny, and
"Deathaloy," yelled Harry.
The combined power of the four sent an incredible blast straight at the quads, which could only put their arm up in a defensive move. A blue-black flame burnt them from the inside out, and soon, nothing was left.
Crying, Ginny levitated Ivy off the branch, and onto the ground. The young girl was still alive, barely. "I'm sorry... I can't let them bring father back... he did too much last time...." Ginny cried, "Ivy! You're going to be alright... we'll get you to a hospital... you'll be fine."
Ivy shook her head. "No... I'm not. I'm going to die... I *want* to die... it's the only way you can all stay safe."
Behind them, the shattered flask rose up, slowly, from the ground, piecing itself back together. It flew and hovered in the air above Ivy's body, the blue mist circling all present, lifting Ivy's body from the ground. The flask filled, and flew to Harry's hand as he dismounted the broom.
Ginny ran to his side, hugging him, still crying. He kissed her forehead, hugging her back. Draco looked down at Hermione, who was still unconscious, knelt down and lifted her head to his lap. "Don't you leave me now, Granger, who's gonna teach me how to be *good* if you don't?"
The blue mist still hadn't completely disappeared, and it flew past everyone and hovered above Hermione's body. Draco watched in surprise as it lowered and covered the wound, making it glitter and shine with the blue power, before it melted into her body, healing her completely.
She opened her eyes slowly, "Draco...? What happened...? Did we win...?" Draco nodded, and Hermione closed her eyes again. "That's good..."
They all looked around. It had been a *long* day... one they weren't very likely to forget in a hurry.

"Draco? Have you seen my wand?" Hermione called out as she rummaged through her bags. "I'm *sure* I packed it...." Draco walked out of the kitchen, wearing only a pair of tracksuit pants, carrying a one-year-old child who seemed determined to pull the chain off from around Draco's neck.
"No... have you checked in the shop window? I don't remember you taking down from the display," he said as he put the child in a walker. He laughed as Hermione hurried off to the front of the building, and sat down to wait for her to return.
When she did, she was brandishing her wand happily. "You were right, as usual."
She took a look at her bags, all lined up together, and frowned. She was missing something, she was sure of that. But what? She had her robes, her clothes for underneath, her spell books, her wand... she glanced around the room, and saw Draco's cheeky grin. The other baby! That's what she was forgetting!
She ran out into the kitchen and retrieved the second twin, who was quite happily painting a picture with whatever was left in his plate. She walked back into the lounge room to see Draco laughing at her.
"You know, as the husband-to-be of a school teacher, you could be a bit more supportive of my first day on the job," she said in mock seriousness.
Draco laughed again. "You know... I could, huh. But that wouldn't be nearly as much fun. I'll see you tonight?"
Hermione nodded. "Uh huh. This stuff will be at the school, but I have permission to apperate, or to use floo powder every day. You *will* be alright with both the shop *and* Jana, wont you?" Draco nodded, stood, and kissed his fiancé goodbye.
"Be good, Mione, and make sure William behaves himself," he whispered in her ear. She laughed as a reply. "Always... and the same goes for you!"
She sent her bags outside the house, kissed Draco again, and headed for the fireplace. "Hogwarts!" she yelled clearly. The flames sent her spiraling, with William, to Hogwarts where she was taking on the newly-created position of Self-Defence Spells. Her experimentations with new spells would come in handy, as they were what was being taught. Her life, she realized, had turned out very well indeed.

And so had everybody's. The twins, Fred and George, had made a complete recovery and managed to claim both Muggle and Wizarding insurance for their shop. Ginny and Harry had moved in together, and were engaged to be married. Both worked for the Ministry of Magic. Percy changed his line of work, and now ran a train line. Voldemort was destroyed completely, never to be revived.
