Hello and welcome to another chapter of She Venom. Really glad the first chapter did well. Some have mentioned that I should have had a warning for the lemon in the first chapter. Sorry about that. I was in a hurry to post and forgot. Rest assured that all further chapters well have lemon warnings. Now, let's get to it.
As usual, I own nothing.
AN1: Special thanks to Dumat for ideas on this fic.
AN2: This chapter is a little gruesome.
In a small dinner in Diagon Alley, an individual in a black hooded cloak can be seen near a window seat. Judging by the persons body type, the individual is clearly female. Nothing else can be seen about this woman. Except her green eyes that seemed to glow in the shadows of her hood.
It's been a few weeks since Harriet met Venom. During that time, the two have been busy. The symbiote had given it's new host a list of all the benefits of their bonding. Superhuman strength, speed, agility, durability, reflexes, stamina, shape shifting, camouflage, regenerative healing, telepathy, constituent matter manipulation and many more. Although, there are some drawbacks. Fire and sound frequencies of 4-6000 hertz are lethal to the symbiote.
One thing Harriet discovered was that she could still use magic while wearing the suit. Along with the fact that she can use wandless magic now. Venom then mentioned that he could assimilate matter into his being and evolve. With that in mind, Harriet had the symbiote assimilate her wand. Good thing Harriet had the Trace removed.
Though there was one problem. Venom's insatiable appetite for brains and flesh. However, after visiting a local candy store, the symbiote realized that he loves chocolate. But brains are still his favorite. Harriet knew that she couldn't go around eating people, so the two made a compromise. Venom could eat the brains of criminals. Ones who truly deserve it. With all the ground rules established, it was time for the duo to make their move.
The first thing Harriet did was raid the Dursley's home for any valuables. As much as the ravenette wanted them dead, it was too good for them. So she settled for robbing them blind. Though Harriet may have left some incriminating evidence of Vernon's backroom dealings with Grunnings. The Dursleys will be in for a nasty surprise when they return. Afterwards, Harriet had sent an anonymous tip to the Daily Prophet about her godfathers will to strike a blow to Dumbledore.
The next thing Harriet did was move into 12 Grimmauld Place. Though the Black House elf, Kreacher made a stink about it. Venom got so tired of the elf that he ate him. While also destroying the portrait of Walburga Black. Dobby, a house elf that Harriet freed during the whole Chamber of Secrets incident, was happy to fill in. And that's not all. Thanks to Voldemort's memories, Harriet knew where and what the Horcruxes are. And Kreacher, was in possession of Salazar Slytherin's Locket. The ravenette had sent Hedwig to Luna, knowing that she wouldn't be home often. Also because Hedwig hasn't gotten use to Venom yet.
Obtaining Slytherin's locket led to Harriet and Venom's third objective. Finding Voldemort's Horcruxes while also thinning out the Death Eater ranks. Even though Venom destroyed the Horcrux in Harriet, the only reason he was able to is because it was in his host head. So, the symbiote couldn't actually destroy them. But the two knew the three things that can destroy them. The spell, Fiendfyre, basilisk venom or goblin made products.
There were seven Horcruxes in total. Three had been found and one was destroyed. The next Horcrux was Marvolo Gaunt's Ring. Located in the Gaunt Shack. Getting through the traps was easy enough for She Venom, however, the ring was revealed to be missing after finding it's hiding place. Harriet suspected that either Voldemort had the ring moved or more than likely Dumbledore found it. Thankfully, the next Horcrux didn't require any work. Helga Hufflepuff's Cup was hidden in the Lestrange family vault at Gringotts. One call was all it took.
The next two Horcruxes would prove to be more difficult to acquire however. One was in Hogwarts and the other was with Voldemort himself. In the meantime, She Venom has been making a name for themselves eliminating Death Eaters. And though she wasn't a Death Eater, Harriet took a special kind of pleasure killing Delores Umbridge. The look on her face when she died was mind blowing. Harriet had also encountered a Metamorphmagus among Voldemort's ranks. Thinking that the ability would come in handy, Venom absorbed the Death Eater.
Which lead Harriet to Diagon Alley. She and Venom were going over ideas on how to sneak into Hogwarts. Venom however, had voted to simply storm the castle. Harriet had vetoed that plan because the wards would alert Dumbledore of their presence. And the Invisibility Cloak was out too. However, the answer would soon come.
Harriet looks out the window and to her surprise, sees Draco Malfoy and his mother, Narcissa walking past the dinner.
"We're following them, aren't we?" Venom asks via telepathy.
"Damn right." Harriet thinks with an unseen grin. "Let's see what the little ferret is up to."
Harriet exits the dinner while Venom makes his host invisible. The ravenette quickly catches up to the Malfoys and follows them into Knockturn Alley. The Malfoys enter a shop called Borgin & Burke. Harriet then hears footsteps approaching and jumps to a near-by roof. Looking over the other side of the store, the ravenette sees a group of people entering the shop. However, she pays particular notice that many among the group have Dark Marks. Seeing them made both Harriet and Venom grin maliciously. There will be blood tonight.
Harriet quickly and quietly sneaks into Borgin & Burke, unseen by the Death Eaters. The ravenette hides behind a few boxes and peeks at the current occupants. Besides the shopkeeper, Borgin, some no name Death Eaters and the two Malfoys, Fenrir Greyback was also present. But there was one person that made Harriet see red. Bellatrix Lestrange.
"She's the one who took Sirius from us." Venom says with a snarl. "Kill her!"
"Oh, we will." Harry thinks with a sneer. She then breathes deeply before exhaling through her noise. "But first, I wanna hear what's going on."
"Ah, mister Malfoy." Borgin says before tapping a strange looking cabinet. "Here for the other cabinet I take it?"
"That's right." Draco says with a nod. He then rubs his hand over the cabinet.
Harriet looks intensely at the strange cabinet. "Wait. I think I've seen that cabinet before."
"You have." Venom says. "Your second year at Hogwarts. You hid inside it after accidentally coming here with that powder."
"Right." Harriet thinks in realization. "But what's so special about it?"
"Let's find out." Venom says.
As Harriet listened to the conversation, she was shocked to hear that the strange cabinet was a Vanishing Cabinet. The ravenette was shocked even more when she heard that it was part of a set with the second one being in Hogwarts. More specifically, the Room of Requirement. Though the cabinet was currently under repair since last year. But the next thing Harriet heard nearly made her laugh. Voldemort's plan was to have Draco smuggle Death Eaters into Hogwarts so the Malfoy could kill Dumbledore. Pff. As if. That right belonged to Harriet alone. And now she had the means to do so. She just had to get rid of Draco and the Death Eaters here first.
"Draco, are you certain about this?" Narcissa asks with a concerned look.
Draco narrows his eyes at his mother along with the other Death Eaters.
"What are you saying?" Draco asks.
"If you do this, there will be no turning back." Narcissa says with a pleading look. "It's not too late to walk away.
"You're speaking treason, Sissy." Bellatrix says.
"I'm concerned for my son's well-being." Narcissa says hotly. "I already had Severus make an unbreakable oath to protect Draco, but there are things that even he cannot protect him from."
"Well, don't be concerned." Draco says facing his mother. "Don't you get it? The Dark Lord demands this. Father is in Azkaban, so I was chosen." Draco smirks. "By doing this, I'll accomplish what no one has done before. Kill the "great" Albus Dumbledore."
"You heard the boy." Greyback says. "A good mother would support her child, wouldn't she?"
Narcissa rounds off to Greyback with a snarl. "A good mother would stop her child from doing something foolish!"
Draco takes a step back in shock. That shock quickly turns to anger. "Foolish? You're the fool!"
Narcissa gasps at Draco's words.
"Father was right." Draco says with a sneer. "You ARE weak. You can't see the bigger picture. With Dumbledore gone, the Pure Bloods will be one step closer to taking our rightful place in the magical world. Especially once Potter is out of the way."
Narcissa looks at her son with a sad frown. "So, this is what your father has turned you into. There is no saving you."
"I don't need to be saved." Draco says with a snarl.
"We've heard enough." Harriet thinks with a dark grin. "It's party time."
"Yes~" Venom purrs with anticipation.
Harriet waves her hand to turn off the lights in the store. Causing everyone to tense up. Venom then forms the black suit while undoing the camouflage.
"We beg to differ." She Venom says in the shadows.
The strange voice causes the dark wizards and witches to draw their wands.
"Who's there!?" A Death Eater Exclaims.
Receiving no answer, the Death Eaters are put on edge. Suddenly, a shadow appears and takes a Death Eater into the darkness. Alarmed, a few of the dark magic users fire a few spells into the darkness. However, they receive no confirmation of the intruder's demise. A few Death Eaters then cast the Lumos charm, providing some light.
"Greyback!" Bellatrix exclaims. "Where are they?"
Greyback sniffs around to pick up She Venoms scent. After a moment, he growls in frustration.
"I can't get a scent." Greyback snarls. "Must be some spell to mask it."
As soon as Greyback finishes speaking, another Death Eater is taken with a scream. The remaining Death Eaters then realize that their comrades casting the Lumos are being taken out first. Another Death Eater is taken and more follow behind. One gets lucky and launches a spell that briefly shows She Venom before the creature retreats into the darkness.
"What the bloody hell was that?!" A Death Eater exclaims fearfully before being taken.
Having enough, Bellatrix growls before casting a Lumos Maxima. Illuminating the whole room. Once done, the deranged witch realizes that the only ones left amongst them are herself, Greyback and the Malfoys. On the floor are the bodies of the Death Eaters. Along with Borgin. Only thing was that they were all missing their heads. And in the center was the creature, holding Borgin's head in her claws. At the sight of it all, the Malfoys were horrified while Bellatrix and Greyback both take a step back in alarm.
"W-w-what are you?" Greyback asks, his instincts telling him he was in the presence of an alpha predator.
"We are Venom." She Venom says while stalking her prey. "Your death."
"Avada Kedavra!" Bellatrix exclaims.
Bellatrix's curse launches towards She Venom with a sickening green glow. However, She Venom vanishes from sight with a crack in the air. Dropping Borgin's head in the process.
"Apparition?!" Greyback exclaims in shock.
Suddenly, She Venom appears behind the werewolf and with a roar, bites his head off. Even though Greyback was a despicable child murder, Narcissa couldn't help but scream at the sight of the werewolf's headless body hitting the floor.
"We might have to be tested." She Venom says. "He might've had rabies."
"Monster!" Bellatrix shrieks.
She Venom scoffs. "Hi Kettle. Name's Pot, have we met?"
Bellatrix aims her wand at She Venom but the symbiotic entity launches a tentacle at the dark witch, disarming her. She Venom then launches another tentacle at Bellatrix, ensnaring her.
"Get over here!" She Venom exclaims.
The symbiotic entity pulls Bellatrix towards her. The dark witch stares fearfully at the creature in front over her. She Venom then licks the dark witch, unnerving her more. She then leans towards Bellatrix's ear.
"You should've killed us back in the Department of Mysteries." She Venom whispers. "This is for Sirius."
Bellatrix's eyes widen at She Venom's words. It then became clear who the creature in front of her is.
"Pot-!" Bellatrix exclaims.
Before Bellatrix can announce the creatures identity, She Venom plunges her claws through her chest. As the life leaves the dark witch's eyes, She Venom pulls her claws out of her victims chest. Along with her heart. Draco and Narcissa look at the scene in fear.
She Venom holds Bellatrix's heart to her face. She then gives a malicious grin.
"What do you know?" She Venom asks. "She did have a heart."
She Venom tosses Bellatrix's heart in the air before devouring it. Draco can no longer take anymore and runs out the front door screaming. Leaving his mother to whatever fate the creature has in store. Said Malfoy's legs go limp as she passes out from shock.
She Venom snarls in disgust.
"Leaving his mother to die." Venom says with a growl. "Disgusting."
"Agreed." Harriet thinks. "Though I'm not surprised. Draco talks big but he's a coward at his core."
"Hmm." Venom hums. "So, what do we do with her?"
She Venom stares at the unconscious form of Narcissa Malfoy.
Draco is seen running out of Knockturn Alley with a frantic expression. Before he can leave the alley, black tentacles ensnare him and pull him back into Knockturn. Screaming all the way the as witches and wizards in the area look on in apprehension. Malfoy's cries are suddenly silenced with a sickening crack.
All is quiet for a moment before She Venom leaps out of the alley with a roar. She then dashes along Diagon Alley on all fours while the Aurors in the vicinity fire stunners at her and the civilians scramble to move out of the creatures path. As She Venom appears to pounce on a witch, she then Apparates. Leaving everyone to wonder who or what the monster was.
The next day, the Daily Prophet was a buzz about the black creature sighted in Diagon Alley. Aurors had found the body of Draco Malfoy with his neck snapped. Upon closer investigation, the Aurors discovered the bodies of Fenir Greyback, Bellatrix Lestrange and other Death Eaters in Borgin and Burke.
Narcissa Malfoy was found in a room in the Leaky Cauldron. The Malfoy matriarch was questioned by the Aurors who informed her of her son's death. They learned of Narcissa's involvement with the Death Eaters but she was able to keep herself away from jail due to her cooperation and status as a pure blood. The Aurors also learned the name of the black creature. Venom.
At the Malfoy Manor, Voldemort had learned of the events through Pettigrew. Needless to say, the Dark Lord was absolutely livid that he lost some Bellatrix and Greyback. Along with Draco who was crucial to his plans. Voldemort then learned that not only did Narcissa had told the Aurors everything relating to him, but Snape had also mysteriously died! And it all happened because of this Venom creature.
At Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore had learned of Venom and her murdering not only Death Eaters but Draco Malfoy as well. Not only that, the headmaster was informed of his spy, Severus Snape was found dead in his home. Aurors had declared that the potions teacher had died via his own magic. Dumbledore had a suspicion that his spy had made an Unbreakable Vow and that it related to the now deceased Malfoy heir.
Whoever or whatever this Venom creature is was ruining Dumbledore's plans. The headmaster had already botched things up thanks to Sirius Black's will revealing his plans for Harriet Potter. But Snape and Draco was needed so that Dumbledore could fake his death and save everyone should Harriet fail to fulfill her destiny of vanquishing Voldemort. Many parents had already pulled their kids out of Hogwarts thanks to whoever told the Daily Prophet about Siruis' will reading. The headmaster had lost most of his titles and was barely hanging on to his position as Headmaster of Hogwarts.
Dumbledore had questioned himself. Why? Don't these fools know that without him, no one will be able to shepherd these sheep to the one true path? The Second Coming of Merlin, the Greatest Wizard of all time. He even defeated Gellert Grindelwald for crying out loud. So, Dumbledore tried to set up The Girl Who Lived to die? It was for the greater good! Now his pawn had cut all ties with him and those conspiring with him. Not to mention that Dumbledore had to now deal with a dark creature hunting Tom and his forces.
While Dumbledore was scrambling to fix things, he was unaware of two of Voldemort's horcruxes and the Sword of Gryffindor vanishing from Hogwarts.
Thanks to Dobby, Harriet was now in position of Ravenclaw's Diadem and the Gaunt Ring. Venom had stated that there was something about the stone on the ring that reminded him of Harriet's Invisibility Cloak. The ravenette decided to look into that later. Harriet also had Dobby finish the repairs of the Vanishing Cabinet for her final act in Britain.
Harriet's friends had gotten in contact with her after not hearing from her. They were shocked at Harriet's new appearance to which the ravenette stated that she was taking nutrient potions. Harriet then apologized for not contacting them. Stating that she was taking care of some business. They also questioned her about the creature, Venom who killed a bunch of Death Eaters and Draco. Neville was particularly grateful that Venom killed Bellatrix. Now his parents were avenged. No one, not even Hermione shed a tear to the news of Snape dying.
After everyone else said their goodbyes, Luna came out and asked to be introduced to Harriet's new friend. The ravenette was shocked at first, but quickly got over it. Knowing that her girlfriend had a knack for knowing things. Meeting Venom was interesting for the platinum blonde. The symbiote had quickly warmed up to his host mate. He then told Luna how he and Harriet bonded. Luna's only words after that were "Bedroom. Now." Like Harriet, the platinum-blonde had developed a kink for tentacles that day.
Harriet later visited Gringotts to destroy the Horcruxes she had. The ravenette was shocked when the goblins told her that the stone inside the Gaunt Ring was the Resurrection Stone. One of the Deathly Hallows. Three magical artifacts created by Death himself. It is said that whoever obtains all three items will become the Master of Death. It then clicked for Harriet. Venom had mentioned that her Invisibility Cloak had the same feel as the stone. The ravenette was already in possession of one of the Hallows! Harriet had immediately asked what the last artifact was. It took everything she had not to laugh like a mad woman. A wand. Currently owned by Albus Dumbledore.
After destroying the Horcrux in the Gaunt Ring, Harriet used it to speak with the spirits of her parents and Sirius. The ravenette told them everything. Needless to say, Lily Potter was furious with Dumbledore for trying to control her daughter. Sirius had told James Potter "I told you so!" and that he owed him 50 galleons. Apparently, the two made a bet that Dumbledore would protect Harriet. The Potters and Sirius didn't care about what Harriet had done. All they cared about was Harriet's happiness. Soon, it was time for Lily, James and Sirius to return to the spirit world. It was a tearful good-bye for Harriet, but her family wished her all the best. After her family left, the ravenette wondered what to do with the Resurrection Stone. Ultimately, she threw it into the ocean. The temptation being too great to risk keeping it.
With all but one of Voldemort's Horcruxes destroyed, it was time to take the fight to the Dark Lord himself. Thanks to Harriet reading Narcissa's mind before placing her in the Leakey Cauldron, Harriet knew where the snake was hiding. And the ravenette wanted to clean house before the Aurors arrived. She also learned of the incantations to shut down the wards protecting the manor.
Harriet strides up to the Malfoy Manor in her black cloak look. The ravenette and symbiotic companion had pitched a few ideas on how to handle Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Eventually, the settled on the fun way. A frontal assault. With a wave of her hand, the ravenette deactivates the wards protecting the manor. Harriet knew that with this done, Voldemort knew they were being attacked. But she didn't care. It was time to end this. For her mother. For her father. For all the people whose lives Voldemort has ruined. And more importantly, for herself.
With multiple cracks in the air, dozens of Death Eaters appeared in front of Harriet. The dark wizards and witches spent no time in firing curses at her. The ravenette grins maliciously as she breaks into a sprint while avoiding the dark curses. Harriet becomes She Venom and charges towards the Death Eaters.

As She Venom charges, a few spells manage to hit their marks. Too bad for the Death Eaters that Venom had a Shield Charm up to deflect the spells. She Venom pounces on the nearest Death Eater and smashes his head into paste. She then whips around while forming a blade on her right arm and slashes another dark wizard. Separating his head from his body. The symbiotic entity forms a morning star with her left arm and turns three Death Eaters into confetti before driving her bladed arm through another.
"What is this thing!?" A Death Eater exclaims in horror.
She Venom reforms her arms as she drives her claws into a Death Eaters chest. After she retracts her arm, the symbiotic entity roars as tentacles shoots out of her and impale the rest of the Death Eaters. More dark wizards Apparate to the courtyard but She Venom charges forward and whips the Death Eaters still impaled by her tentacles at them. The group can only scream as they see the black creature descends upon them.
Inside the Malfoy Manor, Death Eaters are scrambling in fear as She Venom rips and tares through their outer defenses. Said creature then burst through the door with a roar. Dozens of black tentacles shoot forward and impale the Death Eaters in their vital spots.
In the Inner Sanctum, Voldemort is seen with a few Death Eaters. Including Lucius Malfoy, who was broken out of Azkaban and Peter Pettigrew. The dark wizards can clearly hear the carnage outside.
"What's going on?!" Voldemort exclaims.
"Some creature is taring through our forces, my lord!" Lucius exclaims.
"Reports say that it's a feminine looking black creature with white eyes, claws, sharp teeth and a snake-like tongue!" A Death Eater exclaims.
Voldemort's eyes widen before narrowing in anger.
"Venom!" Voldemort thinks with a snarl. "The creature dares to attack me?"
Inwardly, Voldemort was concerned. He had felt the destruction of his Horcruxes. With only Nagini, his snake and last Horcrux, the dark lord was moments away from death. The only question is who found his Horcruxes? At first, Voldemort thought Dumbledore was responsible. That idea was quickly dismissed since Snapes last report was that only the diary and ring were discovered. So, who?
Voldemort is cut off from his thoughts as the roars and screams of terror get closer to his position. They then suddenly stop as the gathered Death Eaters aim their wands at the door. For a few seconds, nothing happens. Then suddenly, the door burst open. Black tentacles then shoot out towards the Death Eaters and drags them out of the room. All Voldemort, Lucius and Pettigrew could hear were their comrades screams being silenced by either the sounds of necks snapping or chomps. When all is quiet, She Venom stalks into the room with a head in her mouth. She then spits it out, landing somewhere in the corner.
{End OST}
"You sure know how to throw a party." She Venom says. "The hors d'oeuvres were appetizing." She Venom grins, showing her shark-like teeth. "But now it's time for the main course."
Lucius prepares to fire a spell at She Venom, but the symbiotic entity stretches her arm and ensnares the Malfoy patriarch. She then pulls her arm back and grins maliciously at the suddenly fearful Malfoy.
"Say hello to your son for me." She Venom says.
She Venom chomps Lucius' head off and throws his body to the side. Voldemort and Pettigrew aim their wands at the black creature, but tentacles shoot forward and disarms Pettigrew while absorbing Voldemort's wand.
"Nagini, kill!" Voldemort exclaims.
Suddenly, a white snake launches itself at She Venom with it's fangs bared. The black creature quickly forms a blade on it's right arm and decapitates the snake. Voldemort then clenches his chest in pain. He then stares at She Venom with a small amount of fear.
"How...?" Voldemort says.
She Venom admires her bladed arm. "This blade is made from the Sword of Gryffindor." She Venoms arm reforms. "Goblin silver's very deadly to your little soul containers. Not to mention the Basilisk venom left over."
Voldemort's eyes widen in realization. "You! You're responsible for their destruction! How did you get that sword?"
"Oh Tommy." She Venom says with a grin. Shocking Voldemort that this creature knows his muggle name. "Why wouldn't we have it? After all..."
She Venom's mask retracts. Revealing Harriet's mocking grin.
"The sword chose me to be the one to kill your pet back in the Chamber of Secrets." Harriet says.
Voldemort and Pettigrew are shocked by She Venom's identity.
"Harriet Potter?!" Voldemort exclaims.
"Surprised?" Harriet asks with her grin still present. "And it's Potter-Black now, seeing that my godfather made me his heir."
"What magic is this?" Voldemort asks. "Have you become a dark witch? How did you get these powers?"
"Fuck you, that's how." Harriet says. She then stalks towards Voldemort. "Now, iff'n you don't mind, I'm gonna kill you."
"Wormtail!" Voldemort exclaims while turning to Pettigrew.
Pettigrew picks up his wand and aims it at Harriet. But before he can cast his spell...
"Remember your debt to me, Pettigrew!" Harriet says.
Pettigrew pauses in wide-eyed shock.
When Pettigrew was about to be killed by Sirius and Lupin back in Harriet's third year, the ravenette voted to spare him their wrath. Thus creating a life debt.
"Wormtail!" Voldemort exclaims, snapping Pettigrew out of his thoughts.
Pettigrew's arm trembles for a moment before slightly lowering. The rat-like wizard then fearfully faces his master.
"M-m-my lord, I-" Pettigrew says with a stutter.
Suddenly, Pettigrew's silver hand, the one Voldemort gave him after sacrificing his to resurrect his master, lunges for his neck. The hand then beings to straggle him. Causing Harriet to pause in surprise.
"P-please, my lord!" Pettigrew chokes out. "F-forgive-"
Pettigrew is cut off as his silver hand crushes his windpipe. The rat-like wizard then slumps to the floor, dead.
"...Huh." Harriet says after a pause. "That happened." Harriet shrugs her shoulders before turning her attention back to Voldemort. "Oh well. Saved me the trouble of killing him myself. Now for you."
"W-wait, Harriet!" Voldemort exclaims urgently. "Think about it. With your new abilities, we could rule the-"
Harriet stretches her left arm and ensnares Voldemort, cutting him off. She then looks at her hated foe with a furious expression.
"I'm sick of hearing you talk." Harriet says. "You kill my mum 'n dad, haunted my very existence since I was a baby, tried to kill me more times than I can count and you expect me to join you?!"
Harriet molds her right arm into a blade. Voldemort struggles to get out of the ravenettes grasp.
"You should've died sixteen years ago!" Harriet exclaims. She then takes a breath to calm down. "There's no cheating death this time, Tom. But don't worry." Harriet gives Voldemort a dark grin. "I'm sure you'll have company soon. I plan on payin' a visit to Dumbledore after this. I'm sure you'll have a lot to talk about in hell."
Harriet aims her bladed arm at Voldemort.
"I'd say it was nice knowing you, but it really wasn't." Harriet says.
With a scream, Voldemort's head is removed from his shoulders. So ends the terror of Lord Voldemort. Harriet breathes deeply before exhaling. After a moment, she hears the crack of Aurors Apparating nearby. The ravenette then rolls her eyes.
"They have the worst timing." Venom says.
"Got that right." Harriet says.
Harriet Apparates away. Just as a group of Aurors storm in.
At Hogwarts, Dumbledore sits in his office looking at papers. A storm was beginning to brew outside. The headmaster was currently still trying to salvage the situation he was in. Things were going from bad to worse. Earlier, Dumbledore had received word from the ICW that he was to step down as headmaster of Hogwarts. Deeming him unfit to be trusted with the safety of the students after the stunt he tried to pull with the Potter heiress. Dumbledore couldn't be forced out. He just couldn't! Without him, the magical world was doomed!
Dumbledore takes a deep breath before plucking a lemon drop from his candy dish. He sucks on it, the taste slowly calming him down. Suddenly, the headmaster staggers before spitting out the lemon drop in his mouth. He struggles to breathe as he feels his lungs collapsing. Dumbledore then quickly rises to his feet, knocking his chair to the floor as he feels himself suffocating. He grabs his wand, only to have a Expelliarmus charm disarm him. The wand is then yanked out of the air by a black tentacle. The headmaster looks into the darkness in shock as the tentacle retreats. From out of the darkness come Harriet in her black cloak with the hood currently off and the Elder Wand in her hands.
Dumbledore's eyes widen in shock and terror at the sight of his former pawn. Her eyes stoically staring at him. The headmasters eyes widen in realization. She had poisoned him with his favorite treat. There were no words between them. Just a cold fury behind those green eyes. Dumbledore then collapses to his knees. He then reaches out to Harriet with a pleading look. But her eyes were unforgiving.
"I'm no one's pawn." Harriet says coldly.
All hope vanishes from Dumbledore's eyes before falling to the ground with a wheezy last breath. And so ends the life of Albus Dumbledore. Harriet stares at the deceased wizard for a moment before having Venom assimilate the Elder Wand. She then begins walking back to the Room of Requirement and the Vanishing Cabinet, which would soon be moved to Grimauld Place.
Finally. It was over.
New York City. The Big Apple. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. In a remote location away from civilization, an impressive looking house can be seen. Nearby, there's a swimming pool. And it is here that a beautiful woman with black hair, green eyes and a figure that would make even straight woman drool in a green two piece bikini can be seen reclining in a lounge chair.
This woman his Harriet Potter-Black.
It's been five years since Harriet ended things in Britain. With Voldemort and Dumbledore dead, magical Britain was starting to get with current times. All the remaining Death Eaters were either dead or in Azkaban. Minerva McGonagall had taken over as Headmistress of Hogwarts with Narcissa Malfoy shockingly being the new deputy headmistress. Kingsley Shacklebolt had taken over as the Minister of Magic. Remus Lupin had married Nymphadora (don't call her that) Tonks and had a son by the name of Edward "Teddy" Lupin. The family was currently living a stable life.
As for Harriet's friends, Hermione now works for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. She pursues her dream to improve conditions for underprivileged magical creatures like House-Elves. Ginny had become a professional Quidditch player for the Holyhead Harpies. Neville became a Herbology teacher at Hogwarts and was currently seeing a Hufflepuff from his school years by the name of Hannah Abbott. Fred and George continue to run their store, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. George is married to Angelina Johnson and the two are expecting a child soon.
What of Ron Weasley, his mother and the Dursleys? Who cares?
Harriet herself had finished her magical schooling and later married Luna. The platinum-blonde was working to become a Magizoologist, someone who discovers numerous magical creatures never before introduced to the Wizarding World. With the Potter and Black fortunes, the two were set for life. Harriet and Venom were still a team and the two sometimes moonlight as She Venom, the Lethal Protector.
Luna was currently out visiting her father for a project on the Quibbler. Harriet was simply enjoying herself.
"Ah, life is good, ain't it partner?" Harriet asks seemingly no one.
Venom's head appears from Harriet's shoulder. "A little boring for my taste. When are we going on patrol again?"
Harriet sighs. "Venom, last time we went on patrol, you shoved a guy's dick up his arse."
"He was a rapist!" Venom exclaims.
Harriet rolls her eyes at her partners words and opts to resume enjoying the breeze. Venom scoffs before retreating back into Harriet. For a moment, all is quiet. Until...
"Harriet Potter-Black."
Harriet jumps out of her chair with a gasp before assuming a defensive stance. She then narrows her eyes at the intruder. A dark-skinned man with a eyepatch wearing a long black trench coat.
"You're a hard one to find." The man says. "You've been staying under the radar. Wouldn't have noticed you until that incident with the rapist."
"Who the hell are you?" Harriet rudely asks. "How'd you find this place?"
The man smirks a little before taking a few steps forward. "Well, you are pretty famous in the UK. The Girl Who Lived, right?"
Harriet's eyes widen in shock.
"Now before you even think of wiping my mind..." The man says.
The man snaps his fingers. Suddenly, dozens of armed men appear from out of the bushes and surround the ravenette. Each of them carrying a strange weapon. Harriet warily eyes the weapons pointed at her.
"Sonic cannons." The man says. "Figured it was the best way to make a statement."
"He's got us." Venom growls.
"We've been aware of you for a long time, Ms. Black." The man says. "We had Squibs agents stationed in the UK and the magical community as a whole. You and your...friend."
Harriet glances around before setting her sights on the one-eyed man.
"These all the men you brought with you?" Harriet asks. Her eyes then flash white for a moment. "How fast do you think they can pull the trigger before we rip off their heads?"
The man narrows his eyes. "Is that a threat?"
"We don't take kindly to intruders." Harriet says. "Especially when they're pointing guns at us. And you still haven't told us who you are."
The one-eyed man stares at Harriet for a few moments before signaling his men to stand down.
"My name is Nick Fury." The man says. "I'm the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Harriet asks with a raised eyebrow.
"A counter-terrorist and intelligence agency tasked with maintaining both national and global security." Fury says.
"And what does S.H.I.E.L.D. want with us?" Harriet asks.
Fury closes his eye and takes a breath. He then looks right at Harriet. "We need your help, Ms. Black."
"Our help?" Harriet asks with a scoff. She then crosses her arms. "Since you obviously know who we are, you could've called."
A black tentacle grabs a robe off a lounge chair. Harriet then wraps herself up.
"I'm pretty sure we qualify as a threat to your little organization." Harriet says. "We aren't exactly heroes."
"Perhaps." Fury says evenly. "But desperate times call for desperate measures. Like I said, we are aware of your life back in the UK. Dumbledore wasn't the grandfatherly old man he pretended to be and Voldemort should've been put down long ago. Regardless, you ended it. And as a result, things are better and you've got your freedom." Fury raises an eyebrow. "But you aren't truly free, are you?"
Harriet clenches her fists.
"Still getting visitors from the UK, huh?" Fury asks. "A lot of people want their so-called savior back and you leaving body bags isn't making it clear for them." Fury takes a few steps towards Harriet till they are three feet away from each other. "Here's the deal. You help us, we make you and your wife ghosts to the British magical community."
Harriet stares at Fury with a faraway gaze. Indicating that she and Venom were having a conversation. After a few moments, the ravenettes eyes focus back on Fury.
"...What's the job?" Harriet asks.
Fury reaches into his coat and pulls out a folder labeled Avengers Initiative.
"How's your Norse mythology?" Fury asks.
And done! Sorry this chapter took so long. I meant to have it up by Halloween, but I got distracted. Recently, I finally sucked it up and bought a Nintendo Switch so I can play Bayonetta 2 and 3. I'm still working on 2 currently.
So, a lot of dark moments in this chapter. First time writing like that, so I hope things turned out well. Harriet and Venom have dealt with their problems in magical Britain. Five years later, Harriet is living a semi quiet life in New York with her wife, Luna. Now, the former Girl Who Lived has been approached by Nick Fury for the Avengers. I've always thought to myself "What if Venom was in the Avengers?" I'm sure many have wondered the same thing. Well, now we'll find out together. I'm gonna be busy with Bayonetta so I don't know when I'll post again.
Next time, She Venom meets the Avengers. Until then, ja nee!
