Children of the Unicorn
Chapter 5
Ginny was a panicked mess.
"Oh my God, I can't believe this," she sobbed. "They're all gone! Look, the twins are gone, Bill's gone, Rose's gone. We'll never find them!"
Hermione had managed to remain calm. "Ginny, just calm down. We'll find her. She has a Secret-Keeper, right? We'll just figure out which of us is her Secret-Keeper."
"What if it's Bill?" she hiccupped.
"It won't be," Hermione assured her. "Come on, we have to go tell Professor Dumbledore, and her godparents, and the other Golds."
Ginny nodded and dried her eyes.
*~*~*
Harry was holding his sister's Celtic cross necklace and stroking it. He had carefully wiped the blood off it and looked it over to make sure it wasn't broken. Rose had told him it had been their mum's, a present from their dad the Christmas Lily Potter sr. had been pregnant with Rose.
"Harry," Hermione said softly. "Let's go. We need to tell Professor Dumbledore about this."
He nodded and slipped the cross into his pocket. He motioned to Ron to follow them.
*You okay, Ron?* Harry asked privately.
*Sort of. Just scared, you know? I don't want anything to happen to them.*
*Me either.*
They walked the rest of the way to Dumbledore's office in silence. Harry used his clearance to get into the office.
"Potter, Harrison James, Gold," he said in a dull voice. The gargoyle leapt aside and the four entered.
Professor Dumbledore looked slightly surprised to see them in his office.
"What brings you all here?" he asked. Then he looked at Ginny, and saw the tearstains on her cheeks.
"Sit down," he said gravely. Ginny sat down next to Harry and Hermione next to Ron. They held each others' hands for support.
"Professor, we went to visit Rose this morning," Harry began. Dumbledore nodded gently. "But when we got to her room, no one was there. We looked through all the rooms, but there wasn't anybody there. When we got to her sitting room, Ginny found this on the floor." Harry drew the cross out of his pocket and showed it to Dumbledore. "There was blood all over it."
Professor Dumbledore looked grave. "I will contact Rose's godparents and the rest of her friends and her family immediately. I will leave the rest to you." He glanced meaningfully at Harry. The small group discussed what he had said on their way back to the common rooms.
"I think he meant her Secret-Keeper," Hermione said. She was somehow still remaining perfectly calm and level-headed.
"And he looked at me," Harry added. "Do you think I could be her Secret- Keeper?"
"It's certainly possible," Hermione said. "I read about how you can reveal whether or not you're someone's Secret-Keeper. It's very simple, really. Think about your sister and how much you want to see her."
Harry did so, focusing all his energy into finding Rose. It took him several minutes, before he came up with a word.
"Pouvoir demeurant," he said, his eyes snapping open. "Pouvoir demeurant. It's where she is."
"Of course! It's an Apparition name!" Hermione said breathlessly. She started dragging them off Hogwarts grounds.
"Whoa, Mione," Ron said. "We'd get in so much trouble if somebody caught us. And what is and Apparition name?"
"They won't, and an Apparition name is basically a spell. You say the core spell, Apparaitre, and then the destination name, or Apparition name. In this case, Pouvoir demeurant. Interesting name."
"Why?" Harry asked. He was a bit tired, as Hermione was dragging them along at a ruthless pace.
"It's French. It means 'be able remaining.'"
"Weird name."
"I know."
"I just detected a slight flaw in your plan, Mione," Ginny said. "We can't Apparate."
"I can." They had just passed the Hogwarts border and were in Hogsmeade. "It was in one of the books Rose gave me. I've been practicing every Hogsmeade visit."
"But what if we get spliced?"
"Ron," Harry said. "Since when has Hermione Granger been known to mess up a spell?"
"Good point."
"Here, I can take you as passengers." She had drawn a line in the dirt. "On the count of three. One. Two."
"WAIT FOR US!" someone bellowed. They looked around, bewildered.
The Golds were rushing for them. "Where is it?" Alex asked desperately.
"Not telling. You have to stay here."
"No."
"Yes you are. I'm sorry about this." Hermione pulled out her wand. "Stupefy beaucoup!"
The six fell down, Stunned. Hermione hurriedly performed the spell and disappeared with a loud pop.
*~*~*
Rose was furious. Absolutely furious. And the horrible part was she couldn't do anything about it.
She thought about what Voldemort and his sister and the Death Eaters had done to her.
::Flashback::
Rose was sitting in her sitting room. Lily was on her lap, fingering Rose's Celtic cross necklace. Bill was on the floor with James, who was proudly sitting up on his own. Rose smiled at the twins, who smiled right back.
And then the Death Eaters came.
They appeared right in the middle of them, as if they had Apparated. But that wasn't possible, you couldn't Apparate onto Hogwarts. There were six of them. Two grabbed Lily and James. Lily's finger was cut where she had been fingering Rose's necklace. Lily started to cry. Rose screamed in fury.
"Get off them!" she screamed.
The Death Eaters just laughed. One put the Cruciatus on her, and another twisted her arms behind her back. They were doing the same to Bill. Suddenly all ten of them disappeared, and were standing in a large cave.
Rose snatched Lily back from the Death Eater who was holding her. Bill did the same with James. The Death Eaters glided off, but then Voldemort and Lucretia came.
"Welcome back, Rose," Voldemort whispered. "I've been missing you. And so has someone else."
He motioned at a Death Eater in the back of the cave. She glided forward, and Rose noticed she was much shorter than the other Death Eaters. She realized why when they threw back the hood of her cloak. It was Erin.
"I've been waiting to do this since I was eleven years old," she said, and pointed her wand at Rose. Rose quickly shielded Lily with her body.
"Touch my babies and die, O'Connell," she hissed.
Erin laughed. Laughed. Rose's eyes quickly turned deep purple. "Oh, but I don't want your babies," she said softly. "I want you."
And she pointed her wand at Rose and said, "Crucio!"
::End Flashback::
They had done that to every half hour. They did the same to Bill, too. They would levitate the babies and pretend to drop them. Rose was thoroughly pissed, but unfortunately was on the verge of unconsciousness.
She blacked out to hearing her children's crying.
*~*~*
Harry was in a large cave. He could hear his footsteps echo as he walked.
*Ginny,* Hermione whispered. *Can you feel if she's nearby?*
There was a pause as Ginny mentally looked for Rose.
*Yeah. She's here. So are Bill and the twins. Rose is unconscious, Bill's weak and the twins are scared, but they're all alive. And there are.twelve people with them.*
*Twelve Death Eaters for a witch, wizard and two babies?!*
*Um, Harry, I think two aren't Death Eaters.*
*Oh no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. This is not good. This is really not good.*
*Duh.*
*Shh! I think they can hear us!*
They had been walking towards a smaller branch of the cave in the back; there were voices coming from there. But the voices suddenly stopped as Ron had said "duh." Harry strained to hear what they were saying.
"My lady, why can't we just kill them now?"
Harry's mouth thinned. The first voice was Erin O'Connell's.
"Because we need the others to come. That way we have all the heirs, and the Mudbloods, too."
"And we get to torture." She sounded incredibly pleased. Lucretia Diabolique laughed, the same laugh as her brother.
"Exactly. Now fetch that fat Muggle-born Durseley boy."
"How much longer must we put up with him?" Erin said.
"We get rid of him soon, with that Mudblood girl."
"I apologize for my impudence. I simply do not like dating such an abominably fat and foolish boy. And a Mudblood!"
"Soon, my dear. I am to give you the pleasure of killing him."
Erin laughed, too. She seemed to pick it up from certain other people. "And who shall kill the others?"
"Lucius Malfoy has claimed that Potter girl. I am to get the Mudblood girl. My brother has claimed rights to Potter. I am leaving the Weaslys to the Death Eaters."
"But who is to have the twins?"
"Draco Malfoy has the boy. He shall prove himself worthy to be the Dark Lord's heir. And you shall be able to kill the girl, so you shall prove worthy to be my heir, the next Dark Lady."
O'Connell hissed with delight. Harry turned back to his friends in disgust. He stared at their faces.
Ron was purple in rage, struggling to control his anger. Hermione was pale gray with fear. Ginny looked like she was going to cry.
Harry put his hand on Ginny's shoulder. She relaxed a lot. Ron got his fury under control and tried the same with Hermione. She took a deep, shuddering breath and dried her cheeks.
*Okay, I have a plan,* Hermione told them. *One of us runs out to distract them, they signal when the Death Eater's attention is turned away. Have Avadas ready. We get the Death Eaters, and then get Bill and Rose and the twins. I'll carry Lily, Harry, you carry James.*
*Who distracts, then?* Ron asked. There was an uncomfortable silence.
*It has to be either, uh, Ron or Ginny,* Hermione whispered. *Sorry, but you're the only two who aren't occupied holding a baby.*
*I will,* Ginny said bravely.
*You know, we might not make it out,* Hermione said. *Goodbyes now.*
They all went into a group hug. Hermione kissed Ron and Harry kissed Ginny. He wiped the silent tears from her face.
*Harry, I'm scared,* Ginny whispered.
*It's all right,* Harry said. *Everything will be okay.* And he knew it for a fact. He couldn't tell why, but he knew it was true.
He hugged her one last time, and she took a deep breath before running out in front of Lucretia Diabolique.
"Hey! Over here!"
Lucretia Diabolique and O'Connell both shot Stunning spells at Ginny. She neatly ducked them both.
"Suckers!"
There were advantages to playing Quidditch. She drew out all the Death Eaters to fire Stunning Spells at her. She ducked them all. Lord Voldemort himself went to see what the noise was, followed by a stooped and bent Pettigrew. She motioned to the trio crouched behind the rock, and they quickly dashed into the room.
Bill was holding the twins and was leaning against the wall. Rose was unconscious on the floor. He looked relieved to see them.
"Give me James!" Harry said. Bill silently handed him the crying infant and gave Lily to Hermione. He sagged.
"Here," Hermione said. She touched his shoulder, and it looked like a glow was spreading over him. He stood up.
"Thanks." He leaned down and picked up Rose.
"All right, let's go!" They ran as fast as they could.
Ron nearly tripped over something on the floor. He stopped to look at it.
"Oh my God! It's Ginny!"
"Pick her up and run!" Harry advised. He did so.
They were surprised to see that everyone was gone. They didn't see anyone anywhere in the cave.
Harry looked back at everyone else to see how they were doing. Lily and James were whimpering. Harry's scar began to hurt.
Suddenly, there was an evil laugh and a flash of green light. The twins weren't in their arms anymore.
Lucretia Diabolique Riddle held out her wand, levitating the babies fifty feet above the floor.
*~*~*
Rose's eyes flickered open. She found she wasn't in the little room anymore. Her brother was there, and Ginny and Hermione and Ron too.
She twitched her hand slightly to let Bill know she was conscious again. He got the gist and put her down.
She was still furious. That nasty bitch, Lucretia Diabolique, had her babies fifty feet above the cave floor. She felt her eyes turn dark purple and hot blood race through her veins. She wasn't helpless anymore.
"ACCIO LILY!" she screamed, holding her hands towards her daughter. Lily zoomed into her arms. Bill got it and did the same for James.
"See, you horrible bitch," Rose snarled at Lucretia. "Gryffindor will always win."
Lucretia laughed. Shit, she hated that laugh. "Oh, but we haven't lost yet."
Draco Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy, Erin O'Connell, Crabbe sr., and Goyle sr. were standing at the mouth of the cave.
Rose found herself tied in steel ropes. The others were the same. Lily sat in front of O'Connell, and James in front of Malfoy.
"Ladies first," Lucius Malfoy sneered. He pointed his wand at the helpless Rose.
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" came a yell, but it wasn't from him.
He dropped to the floor, revealing two frightened Patils.
Fred, George, Alex and Ally followed. Fred and George took out their wands and started blasting everyone in sight. Unfortunately, Lord Voldemort, his sister, and their heirs disappeared.
"Damn!" Alex swore.
"Your mouth, Alex," Rose said weakly.
*~*~*
Ginny was still unconscious. As soon as they were untied, Harry and Hermione ran over to her.
"Just a Stunning Spell, right?" Harry said nervously.
"Yeah, but from about three people at once," Hermione said.
"Can you revive her?" Harry asked.
"Yeah." She touched Ginny's shoulder, and the same glow spread down her. She stirred and moaned.
"Ginny?" Harry said gently. She opened her eyes.
"That is the last time I play distracter. It's Ron's turn next time."
"Ginny! You're all right!"
They hugged very hard, and then went into a kiss. Hermione smiled. Rose smirked and said, *How many Weaslys are going to end up in the Potter family tree?*
Hermione snorted. "Come on, let's get OUT of here!"
*~*~*
Two weeks later, Ginny was out of the hospital wing and finished with her O.W.L.s. She was walking by the Great Lake with Hermione.
"You think he'll come back?" she asked.
"Probably," Hermione said, squinting at the squid. "He always does."
"And they have heirs? That sucks. It's never going to end, is it?"
"No. It will end someday." She sighed. "I cannot believe next year is going to be our last year at Hogwarts."
"Not mine."
"Yeah, I know."
"And you won't be saying goodbye to us, really. I mean, you live with Harry. And Ron and I are going to visit a LOT."
"And someone else might move in after her last year," Hermione said, grinning slyly. Ginny understood what she is getting at.
"We're just dating," she said, blushing furiously. "Besides, where'd Ron move in when you-"
"We're just dating!" Hermione said. She turned a shade to rival Ginny.
"Hey, girls!" Ron shouted at them. He was approaching the lake. "End of year party! Common room unless you want to help get food!"
"Sure. Where's Harry?" Ginny asked. Hermione elbowed her.
"Dunno. Went somewhere with Rose."
"Ginny, look!" Hermione pointed across the lake.
A beautiful unicorn with wings and a stag were racing each other across the lake. The unicorn laughed and rose into the sky, flying off towards Hogsmeade. The stag followed on foot.
"Thinking what I'm thinking?" Hermione said. The other two grinned at her.
Soon, an eagle, a phoenix, and a hawk were flying at the unicorn, off to home.
THE END!
