Chapter 7

Arriving back at Hogwarts, Severus went straight to the headmaster's office not stopping to answer the questions McGonagall was asking him. Upon reaching the stairs he chocked out the password and swept up the stairs, followed closely by Minerva. Reaching the top of the stairs he swept into the room only to collapse in front of the headmaster's desk. Rushing to his side Albus and Minerva looked at him in shock. Neither had ever seen Severus this way, tears running down his face, his body shock with anger, he chocked out "my daughter, my child, she is my child. He is going to kill her after she has Potter's child. He is going to give her to Malfoy, and he will kill her."

Minerva looked at the headmaster and said, " What are we going to do Albus we have not heard from Mr. Potter. Surly had he receive our letters here would be here by now."

"I'm afraid we may have to find a way to get to Hermione with out him." Albus said.

Rage filled Severus at the mention of Harry Potter. "If my daughter dies because of Potter not even you will be able to protect the boy Albus."

Rising to his feet he stalked out of the headmasters office.

Watching Severus Snape leave Albus knew they were running out of time, Hermione was well past eight months with her child. They needed to find her before it was too late.

"Albus the start of term starts in two days surly will hear from Mr. Potter before then." Minerva said looking for reassurance.

"If my source are correct we may not have that much time. Hermione will give birth very soon. Once that happens her very life will be over. We must find her, I fear for us all if we don't" Albus said sadly.

"Should I advice the other teachers and the order of whats happen?" Minerva asked.

"You may tell them that Hermione is still alive and that the threat grows every day tat she is not found but do not tell them about the child until we are able to talk to Mr. Potter." Albus said turning toward the fireplace,

Nodding to the headmaster, the deputy headmistress left to inform the staff, that as of now there was not news as to were Hermione was being kept.

(Hermione's cell)

She lay against the cold stonewall, the pain was coming slow and steady, biting back the urge to scream out in her pain, she wouldn't give them the pleasure. Just when she thought it was stopping the worst pain she had felt yet ripped thru her causing her to scream out. As the pain began to lesson, she could hear them coming to her cell.

A hundred days had made me older

since the last time that I saw your pretty face

A thousand lights had made me colder

and I don't think I can look at this the same

Entering her cell Voldemort could feel the magic surge and knew that she was going to give birth very soon. Her screams of pain were becoming louder; lifting his face up ward he couldn't stop his laughter from escaping.

Hearing the monster hideous laughter, Hermione couldn't stop the chills that from coursing thru her veins. The pain was worse then anyone had ever made it out to be, it felt like she was being ripped apart. Feeling something warm running down her lips she lifted her hand up to wipe it away only to discover he hand was covered in her own blood. Fear soared thru her as she tried to pull herself up into a sitting position, but the pain was too much and she collapsed back on the ground.

But all the miles had separate

They disappeared now when I'm dreaming of your face

Watching the woman on the ground try to pull herself Voldemort couldn't help but smile. "Can you feel it, the power its coursing thru you, his child will have even more power then he dos but you can feel it can't you, its ripping away at you. Giving birth to a witch or wizard, is so different from a muggles birth. You can feel the magic, it surges and rips away at the mother, that's why you'll notice that, all witches and wizards, have a deeper bound with their children. My own mother was close to death when I was born. As was Potter's, I'm wondering if you'll survive the birth.

Hermione could feel her nails biting in to her own flesh, as the pains became closer and closer. She watched Voldemort as he walked to the cell door and returned with a woman.

As the woman came closer Hermione saw her face and screamed " No get away from me."

I'm here without you baby

but your still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

and I dream about you all the time

Smiling Bellatrix Lestrange said " well I could help you with the birth, or I could wait until you die and ripe the child from you."

Tears had begun to fall and mix with the blood that was still running from her nose Hermione closed her eyes and chocked. " No please don't let my child die."

Moving down between her legs Lestrange could see the child's head. Turning to look at Voldemort she said, " The child will be born very soon."

Looking at his death eater he said "bring it to me, when it's over."

I'm here without you baby

but your still with me in my dreams

And tonight it's only you and me

"And the girl? " she asked.

"Let her bleed, Lucius will be in to see to her." Voldemort said.

Turning back to the young woman laying on the ground Lestrange said, "Scream all you want, I guarantee it will be painful."

Hermione laid on the ground, staring up at the monster that was helping her give birth, how had this happen. Why had he not come for her, why was she still here surly they were going to come for her? As another pain ripped thru her she began to scream, they were getting worse the magic was pulling at her from the inside.

The miles just keep rolling

as the people either way to say hello

I hear this life is overrated

but I hope it gets better as we go

"Bare down you stupid child, push" Lestrange yelled.

I'm here without you baby

but your still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

and I dream about you all the time

Pushing with all the strength she had left she could feel the baby coming out. As her baby was pulled from her body the surge of magic surged thru her with the worst pain of all and Hermione screamed "H.A.R.R.Y.

I'm here without you baby

but your still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl it's only you and me

(Elsewhere)

The scream pierced thru his very soul, jerking out of a sound sleep Harry Potter was drenched in sweat and the pain in his head was unbearable. Trying to catch his breath Harry could feel someone trying to reach out for him.

Everything I know, and anywhere I go

it gets hard but it won't take away my love

And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done

it get hard but it won't take away my love

The scream had woken her, looking at the young man beside her, she could feel it radiating off of him. The mud blood has given birth. Soon she would be dead, and so would he. Then she would finally have her revenge, and her lord Voldemort would return her Cedric back.

Reaching out to him she says, "Harry love come back down here with me I'm cold without you."

I'm here without you baby

but your still on my lonely mind

I think about you baby

and I dream about you all the time

Turning and looking at the beautiful woman in the bed next to him Harry lay back down and closed his eyes, it was just a dream. Everything was fine and tomorrow he would be heading back too his real life and the war, but for now he was in paradise with this woman who he had come to care for over the summer.

I'm here without you baby

but your still with me in my dreams

And tonight girl it's only you and me

(Hermione's cell)

Lying on the ground in her own blood Hermione watched as Lestrange cleaned her child.

Looking down at the girl Bellatrix said, " what name would you give her?"

"May I hold her please?" Hermione whispered.

Moving the child closer to Hermione, Bellatrix did something that she would have never done she laid the child in its mothers arms.

Unable to take her eyes of her child Hermione said "Hello Lily Emma Potter"

Shaking her head Bellatrix reached down and took her from Hermione. Walking towards the cell door she called back "Remember her face when your death comes, for she is the only one who has not betrayed you."

Sob's ripped thru Hermione as she prayed that death would free her before Lucius returned.

Bellatrix took the child to Voldemort's study. "My lord the child"

Looking at the child Bellatrix held in her out stretched arms Voldemort called "Lucius take the child to your wife. Make sure she knows that this child is of her own blood."

Walking over to Bellatrix and taking the child from her he asked, "What is the child's name?"

Looking her Lord in the eyes she said "Lily Emma Potter."

The dark lord's laughter echoed thru the room and he sneered " The first Lily gave her life for him the second will rip that life from him."
