Bad Tidings Part Two: The Gates of Hell
The front door of Number 4 Privet Drive slammed shut; Cho Potter had just come home.
"Hey!" she called upstairs, fanning herself with her hands against the heat, "I'm home!"
She went into the kitchen, sighing whilst draining a large bottle of Evian completely with thirst.
Cho took the bags full of shopping and began to make her way upstairs slowly, with a fresh bottle of Evian clutched in her hand.
The top stair creaked as it always did, and deciding to check if Harry was still in Murron's bedroom, she walked awkwardly with all her shopping bags to the door. Cho sighed exasperatedly and dropped her bags with a crash on the floor.
"God, in MY day, men would carry the shopping!" she muttered to herself.
And with that she placed her slender manicured fingers upon the brass polished doorknob. Turning it slowly, due to the fatigue of shopping, and opening it, Cho almost screamed out loud at the sight that met her eyes.
Thunderstruck, she gasped and fell to her knees.
Harry was crouched, leaning against the wall on which the picture of Hecate was hung. His arms had been torn out of their sockets, there was a deep red staining his pyjamas, and in the pool of blood before him were his guts all eviscerated, hara-kari style.
Cho let out a strangled cry, unable to keep her eyes off her dead husband, but her eyes roved to the far end of the room where a very large, bloody knife was stabbed several inched into the wall, leaving a trail of blood, thus making it appear as if the wall had been speared and was bleeding.
Yelping, she crawled her way over to his carcass, and slapped it on the face, looking for any signs of life. And through anguished sobs, she lifted up Harry's head and fell back, letting out a loud cry - where Harry should have had eyes, there were bleeding, deep red holes where his eyeballs had been gouged out.
Shaking on the floor and wailing, Cho heard a deep booming cackle. And slowly inclining her head to the cot, she saw that it was coming from where her baby lay.
The laughing got louder and Cho let out a bloodcurdling scream which reverberated all through 4 Privet Drive as the baby rose up and turned to face her with its sickly yellow eyes, scarred face and its menacing toothless grin.
"Ahhhhh the lover!" it said in a dry, coarse whisper, barely even a voice.
Cho choked on her saliva and whimpered, "Murron?"
The baby widened its eyes, and Cho let out another ear piercing shriek as the baby's eyes rolled back into its head and it began vomiting a thick green liquid.
"Who are you!?" Cho demanded, "What in God's name have you done with Harry?"
She was still on the floor but could feel anger rising up inside her.
The baby laughed yet again and said in a more slow coarse whisper, "Cho, Cho Potter! You don't recognise me? A certain Italian Auror who died at the hands of your beloved!"
Cho choked again, "An-Antoine? Antoine L'armatura?"
"Yes, it's me! Thought I'd died didn't you? HA! As soon as I entered Barzakh, I knew I must take revenge, revenge on Harry Potter!"
"B-Barzakh? Wha...?"
"Oh never mind that now!" it barked.
Cho got up, she had stopped sobbing now and pointing a shaking finger at the baby she said in an equally as shaky voice, "You won't get away with this, bring him back!"
Cho walked forward and shook the baby with its frightening pale yellow eyes and terrifying smile. The baby held its small flabby arm in the air and struck Cho across the face, causing her to fly to the other end of the room where the knife was stuck in the wall.
"BRING HIM BACK DAMN YOU!" Cho bellowed at the possessed baby.
The baby stared at her momentarily, then its eyeballs burst loudly and it fell to the floor of Murron's bedroom with an audible thump, as if a very heavy satchel had been dropped abruptly.
Cho began sobbing again but this time, she got up and ran out the door, out of 4 Privet Drive and Disapparated with a bang like a gunshot.
She Apparated in a harsh, oppressive desert - the sun's heat whipped her back with lashings of fire, her sandals were sinking in the burning sands and the winds blew stinging grains of sand in her eyes.
With anger as she had never known before, Cho clapped her hands together resonantly and in an instant, a pentagram, a clean circle, a sword and the Grimoire appeared before her.
Her sobs had stopped but her deep, shuddering breaths had acquired a chilling quality.
Cho stood in the white circle and picked up the sword and the Grimoire and read from it, in a calm voice, "With this sword I pierce my flesh and allow Blushing Persephone to taste my blood," she cut a long gash across her wrist and the blood began to trickle down and ooze gently from her arm, "with the Talvaar-e-Yawmideen, I take the Sword, Sword of Doomsday and pierce the Book of Black," she threw the Grimoire down so that it fell right into the Pentagram and stabbed the book with the sword, using all her might.
The Grimoire began to bleed, as if with black blood and it sprayed and oozed from its accursed pages.
Cho let go of the sword and it continued to stand erect, and suddenly, as if being pulled from beneath, the sword sank into the pages of the Grimoire, and a blackness began to develop from where the Grimoire had been stabbed.
The book was now gone, replaced by a hole which grew wider and darker, sucking in light and anything around it, except what was in the white circle in which Cho was contained.
Cho looked down at the blackness, and knew that in a few thousand years Satan would have to fall down this very pit and continue to fall for one thousand years.
"And so I open the Darkness, the Blackness, the Abyss," Cho said in a clear and loud voice, "Into its depth I shall fall and fall I will for years and years until the Day, the Day of Resurrection. The Gates of Hell await me at the end and there I shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever..."
With that, Cho dove into the Abyss and felt the darkness consume her from all around. And so she would now fall, and fall, for how long, she did not know, but her physical body would soon die, to be replaced by her soul which would continue to fall. The darkness and corruption swallowed her and henceforth, she fell into the perpetual nothingness which would soon overcome her and empower her once human soul.
The gate to the Pit closed up and once more it was desert, and nothing more...
