Chapter 26

"But, when? How?" Adora said starting to get frantic, she felt so bad for Cho.

"Do, I have to explain to you how babies are made?" Ginny asked Adora, treating her as if she was a two year old.

"No, that's not what I meant, what I meant was…" but they were interrupted by about twenty photographers, and reporters.

"Miss Potter, look this way…."

"Miss Potter, is it true that you are Larissa Crane and Anthony Potter's secret love child?"

Ginny looked at these stupid fools, and Adora picked up the book ran to the cash register, then Flooed away. Ginny supposing that she went to Bella's house went the same way, but when Ginny arrived at Bella's Adora wasn't there.

"Okay, just great! She's not here. Adora, you fool, you know I don't know the grate to you mum's house!" Ginny said to herself, but just then a great eagle owl swooped in and landed on her shoulder.

Ginny,

Yeah, um sorry about that. I forgot to tell you the grate to go through, but I couldn't just tell you what it was with all of the photographers around, you know? The grate is called, "Crane's Mansion", come over as soon as possible!

With love,

Adora


Adora walked up to the Fireplace, when another owl flew in. But, Ginny had never seen this owl before. The letter was addressed to Harry. So she took the letter and went upstairs to put it on Harry's bed, but someone was already there.

Meanwhile at Hogwarts….

Percy and Penelope had finally been able to get a hold of Dumbledore. They were telling Dumbledore about everything.

"So, Percy you are a Death Eater?" Percy nodded to his former Headmaster. "You want to come back to the good side?" Percy nodded, again. "Well, there are three ways we could do this. First, you could go as a spy, tell Voldemort that Penelope and you got back together, but you'd be risking your life as a spy. Second, you could get the Secret Keeper Charm put on you."

"And live in fear? That's what Lily and James had put on them and look, little Harry is an orphan now." Penelope said shaking her head no.

"True, Lily and James did have someone betray them and they did die. Voldemort also did the charm on Harry. Afterwards, Harry and Adora Potter have both had a Secret Keeper Charm on them when they are at their homes. Third, you could get a different identity and we could change some of your features so that Voldemort won't recognize you. If you and Penelope want to get back to your engagement, we can do the same for her. The only people that can know your true identity is any one you can trust. If you are not sure who you can trust we have a lady that can read minds, we also have a student here that can do that, she just doesn't know it yet. She should be learning this summer. So which one would you like?"

"Well, in Hogwarts, Penelope and I really didn't have many friends. We were each other's best friends, and then in our sixth year we started to date . The only people that would know would be, our family. Right, Penelope?" Penelope nodded, "But who would we come back as."

"Well, I could mess with your family tree, but that you have a cousin from Surrey, by the name of Harmon Jefferson and Penelope by the name of Libby Martin. If you need me to we could get the mind reader up here for you tomorrow. We will see you and your families at different times. Penelope, you and your family can come in at noon, Percy you and your family here at 3? Is this alright?" The both nodded, "Then good luck to the both of you, Harmon and Libby."

After that they walked back to the Three Broomsticks, for some butterbeer. "Penelope?"

"Hmm?" Penelope muttered while taking another swig.

"I'll be back, I need to tell him that you and I are back together." Penelope nodded, "But, before I leave…" He got down on one knee, for the second time. Penelope's eyes got as big a saucers. Percy put the Promise Ring on her right ring finger first, then asked, "Penelope Ann Clearwater, will you do me the honor of being my wife?" A single tear ran down her face, and clutched her hands to her face. "Of course," they kissed and he slipped the Engagement Ring on her left ring finger. "Okay, love. I'll be back. I'll meet you at your place." Penelope gave him a good-bye kiss and he apparated to Romania.

"Weasley. How nice of you to drop by." Voldemort hissed.

"There something you want me to do, sir?"

"Yes, and I already told you. Keep an eye on your little sister, she's starting to read."

"Read? She's always been able to read."

"Not like that you fool!" Voldemort hissed at him. "Ginerva's been looking up legends, and prophecies. Looking in books that Cassandra Gryffindor prophesized, and wrote in the written word, so that her children and many grandchildren would be able to find."

"Oh," Percy was confused.

"In your Hogwarts days you heard of the twins that will save the entire Wizarding World, with their family, right?" Percy nodded, "Well, if you remember the legend, Harry and Ginny are exactly what it says. Keep an eye on them, break them up."

"Yes, sir."

"Now why did you come to see me on your own time, something's on your mind."

"Yes, sir it is. You see last night I ran into Penelope, and we had a long talk and we've decided to get married again. We're engaged again."

"So, she's going to be with you now, even though you will be a Death Eater?"

"Yes, sir."

"What changed her mind?"

"Penelope realized how much we love each other, and that we could never be with anyone else." Voldemort nodded.

"You're asking for my approval?" Percy nodded, this time, "then, you have it. Now I need to go after the Cho Chang girl, she has had a baby. Only problem we don't know where little Diggory is."

"Diggory? You mean its…. Cedric's?" Voldemort nodded, "Here is where she is for the holidays, go and take the baby. You shall bring the baby to me by tomorrow, and I shall bring him up like he is my own. Won't it just be grand when he kills his own mother with the man that killed his father?" Voldemort began to cackle his cold shrill laugh.

"Oh, yes." Percy began to laugh, not because it was funny, but so he wouldn't get put into pain again. He charmed the tickling spell on himself.

Voldemort stopped laughing two minutes later, but Percy was still cackling. "What the hell are you doing still here? Go!" Just then Percy apparated, and was back outside of the Three Broomsticks. Penelope still sitting at the same table that and Percy had shared with Penelope thirty minutes ago.

"How'd it go?" Penelope asked him kind of scared.

"Better than I ever imagined it would go," Percy said glancing around and Percy saw some of his fellow Death Eaters give him a thumbs up. Percy leaned into Penelope's ear, "We need to go to where we were before we came here," Penelope looked at him and turned white, but just nodded her head in response.

They began to walk through Hogsmede, and they put their cloaks on to disguise themselves, and walked back up to Hogwarts, and to the Headmasters office. They arrived there the second time today. Professor Dumbledore was expecting Professor McGonagall, but it wasn't her. Professor Dumbledore was surprised to see the happy couple back up to see him.

"I'm guessing you just visited Voldemort already?" Dumbledore asked Percy.

"Yes, sir. He's given me a mission; I think you should have a set up. Let me go on it and someone catch me, we have a duel, and I die."

"That sounds like a good idea Percy, but what is your mission on?"

"Yes, Percy, you didn't even tell me what is it?" Penelope asked questionably.

"Supposedly Cho Chang had gotten pregnant last year by Cedric Diggory, you know before Cedric was killed." Percy looked at Dumbledore, who surprised Penelope and Percy by nodding. Percy continued, "Voldemort said that supposedly Cho was going to tell Cedric after the third task that night."

Dumbledore sighed, "Yes, she came to me the night before and told me. I told her that I thought it would have been wise not to tell him until after the task, you know so we didn't add any more pressure to Mr. Diggory. I know I must have read that legend about Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff's child, but I never would of thought the two of them. I guess I should of put more thought into it. The night after the third task Miss Chang came to me crying her eyes out, and not knowing what to do. So I had a meeting with all of the teachers, The Diggorys and The Changs, School Governors, and a couple of doctors and nurses from St. Mungo's. First at different times at first of course. Miss Chang, her parents, and The Diggorys all agreed to keep the baby. Miss Chang made the decision that she would keep the baby."

"When did she get pregnant? When did she have the baby?" Penelope asked very curious.

"Miss Chang got pregnant some time in March, as Miss Chang and the late Mr. Diggory had been off and on for about a year. They became serious right before the Yule Ball, and became very serious. Miss Chang had the baby on December 25th, a year after Mr. Diggory and her quit being on again off again as a couple, and became serious. Miss Chang named him Cedric David Diggory Jr., but since it's too hard for her to say his name, they call the baby David. So what exactly do you have to do?"

"Voldemort wants me to find out where Cho has got baby David at, and he wants me to kidnap David for Voldemort. Voldemort wants to raise him as his own. Teach him how horrible his mother is, except little David won't ever know that Cho Chang is mother, until Voldemort orders David to kill Cho, and after David does kill his mother. Voldemort would give David Diggory the wonderful news. Voldemort said that he's going to tell him how David that Voldemort himself killed David's father and now how he tricked David to kill his own mother. Then kill David."

"To get the keys?" Penelope piped up.

"How do you know?"

"Duh, Percy! I'm part of the Order of Phoenix!"

"Voldemort told me that, Voldemort wants all of the keys to overrun Hogwarts, and make sure no Muggleborns at the school or in the entire Wizarding World. With all four keys he'll be able to be more powerful then ever known."

"Really now?" Dumbledore asked Percy, stroking his long beard.

Percy nodded his head, "Voldemort will be more powerful then ever recorded or known. Inside little David is both the key for Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Voldemort has his own for Slytherin, and the only one he'll have left is Harry and Adora for Gryffindor. We thought Harry had the key, but for now it is shared until one is killed then the full key will go to the remaining one. Then kill the last one, and Voldemort will have all the keys to the crest."

"Voldemort sure does have it all planned out doesn't he?" Dumbledore asked starting to stroke his beard again beginning to think. They sat in silence for a moment until Dumbledore began to speak again, "Alright I've got it planned out, just let me call Oliver Wood, and when he gets here we'll plan this all out."

At the Chang house…

Mr., Mrs., and Cho Chang were sleeping peacefully until…little David Diggory started to cry waking the entire household.

Cho got up and walked across her room to where the baby crib was, she looked at the clock 'five am. Already?' Cho picked baby David up and went down the hallway to the kitchen and warmed up a bottle for him. For an almost four month old, David was proving himself really smart, although she hardly ever got any sleep. It was getting really hard to look at her baby. David looked identical to Cedric, it was remarkable. David had the shape of Cho's face and small hands. Yes, even though babies have small hands, David's were remarkably small. David had started to pull himself up, and every night Cho wished that Cedric could see their little boy. Even though Cho had agreed with Dumbledore, not to tell Cedric about David, until after the third task. Cho still wished that she hadn't taken her Headmaster's advice and told him the night Cho herself had found out. David starting tugging on her hair which brought her back to reality. To think that this would be her last year at Hogwarts, next year Cho would be going to take her seventh year, home schooled. Cho would still graduate with her class at the end of the year, and she was still invited to the dances, it just wouldn't be the same. Cho walked into the living room, sat on the couch and laying David on his stomach. Cho was looking through a scrapbook she made while she was pregnant. It showed pictures of all six of her years at Hogwarts, so far. In her fourth year, you started to see pictures of Cedric and her. A few pages later, you saw pictures of the Yule Ball, Cho in her gown, at the top it was midnight blue and then towards the feet it turned black, and beside her was her date, Cedric, in a black dress pants and a midnight blue dress shirt to match her. After the Yule Ball pictures, there were just random pictures of her, Cedric, or the both of them. Five pages later, was the obituary about Cedric's death, it didn't talk about their son, because of certain reasons. After Cedric's death Professor Dumbledore performed a charm on her, the same one that had been on Lily, James, and Harry Potter; when Harry was a baby. The same one that had been on Hermione Granger had on her for so long, and just recently there was an article in The Daily Prophet, about her being the lost Potter, Adora Aimee Potter. Cho was surprised, but it did make since. Hermione did look similar to Harry. Cho had seen pictures of Larissa and Anthony as Head Boy and Head Girl. Adora had Anthony's untidy hair, although now she charmed it to lay flat, but the color of her hair wasn't the usual Potter black, it was light brown like Larissa's. Adora had Larissa's face and smile, but Adora had Anthony's eyes. Cho had noticed that the older Hermione, or Adora, depended on what you called her; the more you saw that she was turning into a beautiful woman. Adora, like David, lost their fathers as babies. Cho noticed she was drifting off in her own thoughts, and began to look back at the scrapbook. There beside the obituary was the program to Cedric's death, and a rose off of his casket. Next, was an ultrasound pictures of David, pictures of Cho pregnant.

Although, you'd have never could tell she was pregnant, she had only gained fifteen pounds. Cho didn't even have a pouch until her eighth month, but she just wore baggier clothes. No one suspected anything, because it was so cold then. Next, were pictures of right after she had David. Pictures of David and his grandparents, and others about David. Cho really didn't want to go back to school. If Cho had it her way she'd start going home school tomorrow. That was a thought, she'd talk to her mum about it tomorrow. Cho glanced at where she had laid David down, he'd fallen back asleep, and she picked him up and went back to their room.

Cho was putting him in his crib when a thought struck her, Adora's father died when she was a baby also even if this thought had hit her earlier, Cho was much to tired to remember. Even though, Anthony Potter didn't die until weeks after Adora was born. Adora still never knew Anthony, as David would never know Cedric. Cho walked over to her desk took out a piece of parchment and began to write. Cho needed this to go out before morning, and it was already 5 am.
