Chapter Twenty: Shard Collectors

Genevieve's eyes were blazing as if they were on fire. She and Harry were travelling through the Outback of Australia where the remaining shards were. Voldermort kept calling his prisoners his "Shard Collectors." It was pretty scary for Genevieve. Her memory was improving and visions from the past flooded her mind.

She could barely concentrate on where the shards were but Harry helped her along the way.  He usually pulled her for support and guided her when she couldn't see well. She felt drained and alone. Everything was a challenge for her even breathing and blinking. She felt bile coming up her throat, hot and irritating she walked to the side, fell to her knees and retched.

Voldermort, tired of being delayed, grabbed roughly Genevieve's hair and threw her next to Harry.

"I did not get you out so you could rest, I took you out to find those Shards! The faster you look the faster you rest!" he bellowed.

Genevieve looked at Voldermort with disgust and glanced at the sky.

Sirius, she thought, where are you?

Meanwhile, back at Hogwarts, Sirius was pacing while Dumbledore prepared for their next trip. Sirius, finally, collapsed into a nearby chair and placed his face in his hands. He felt terrible. He lost his godson and his "daughter." Sirius felt like a failure.

"Sirius, we are ready to go. Listen to me Sirius, it wasn't your fault I know they're all right we just have to move quickly before anything serious happens." Said Dumbledore.

"How can you say that? Something serious has happened! Genevieve and Harry have been kidnapped! They could be dead for I know!" Sirius felt tears well up but he made no move to wipe them as they travelled down his cheeks.

"Shh, we will find them. We have to move quickly so we find them and get them back to safety. Come along." Dumbledore ushered the grief-stricken Sirius out of his office.

Dumbledore and Sirius, disguised as Snuffles, walked to Hagrid's Hut where some Ministry officials were waiting.

"Gentlemen and women. It has come to my attention that Mr. Harry Potter and Ms. Genevieve Coronet have gone missing. It appears that Voldermort has taken them." Said Dumbledore.

"Prosperous! We all know Voldermort is not really alive. Its all Mr. Potter's doing that's what! To get more attention." Replied Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic.

"I assure you Voldermort did in fact take Harry and Genevieve hostage. And I have proof right here. Mr. McLellan if you would come forward." Asked Dumbledore.

Damien walked toward Dumbledore and looked at Fudge with revulsion and bitterness. He, then, looked at Dumbledore for more instructions.

"Please show him your arm, Damien." Said Dumbledore gently.

Damien, then, rolled up his long, robe sleeves. Everyone gasped especially Fudge.

"C'mon keep walkin' we don' 'ave all day!" said a Death Eater practically pushing Harry and Gen. Genevieve was exhausted and she depended on Harry's will power to move on, unfortunately, Harry was slowing down too. Both stopped to rest their weary feet.

"I said keep movin'!" The Death Eater pulled out a silver whip and thrashed the two Shard Collectors.

"Avery! Don't bash them too much they still need to be in one piece once we reach the shards!" said Voldermort.

Avery nodded and pushed Harry and Genevieve again to keep moving.

Harry was just about to collapse when her heard Genevieve say,

"I feel them close you can right?" she asked.

Harry, suddenly, felt a warm, caressing feeling of relief as he, also, felt the Shards nearby.

"Should we tell them?" asked Genevieve.

"Let's keep moving." Harry replied.

Now both Harry and Genevieve had a goal. To find the Shards and hope someone would rescue them.

"That cannot be! It's a trick! It's not real!" said Fudge.

There, radiating in neon green was the Dark Mark. Damien, roughly, pulled down his sleeve and walked behind Dumbledore.

"Oh it is, Fudge, it's real. Mr. McLellan's parents were, in fact, Death Eaters. Now they are spies for our side. Unfortunately, Damien got recruited without his parents' knowing. He is not a threat just a young man seeking a brighter future." Said Dumbledore.

"Do you still deny what is in front of you? That Voldermort is not dead? I assure you he is back and I will go and find Harry and Genevieve with or without your help. But with your help it might be easier and you would have your proof that I do not lie."

Dumbledore looked Fudge straight in the eye and waited for a response. Fudge was fidgeting and avoided Dumbledore's gaze.

"Fine! I will only come along to see your so-called proof but if I see nothing will you drop this stupid charade?" he asked.

"Yes." Replied Dumbledore.

"Good. Now, let us prepare where are we going Dumbledore?" asked Fudge.

"Australia."

"There!" said Genevieve softly to Harry.

"Yes, I can feel them." Replied Harry.

Genevieve looked back at the Death Eaters. They were sitting and resting and eating. Most of them were drinking and began to tumble.

"I think this is our best time to go." Said Harry.

Genevieve nodded and both began to separate from the group. Once they were closer to the Shards they both felt hands on their shoulders. They sharply turned around and saw it was Snape.

"It seems that you two have found the Shards." He said.

"Are you sure you can read minds?" asked Genevieve.

"Gen this isn't the time and yes we have they're over there by that large foundation of rock." Said Harry.

Snape nodded and said,

"I'll devise a distraction for you two. Run as fast as you can toward the Shards and don't try anything stupid, Potter." With that Snape walked back to the group.

"That was dirty shot!" said Harry.

Genevieve cracked a small smile and motioned to him to follow her. As they ran toward the Shards they saw bright lights and loud, booming sounds coming from the site where they left the Death Eaters.

Thanks Severus, thought Genevieve.

As they neared the Shards people, suddenly, appeared in front of them. They were black, had strange, dirty clothing and markings on their faces. They were the Protectors of the Shards.

"Um…" said Harry.

He looked at Genevieve for guidance but she was as stumped as he was.

One of the Protectors was knocked down by a blue beam of light the Death Eaters were approaching the scene. The Protectors were, also, flashing beams of lights from various items.

As the battle continued Harry's knee was hit and he toppled to the ground in pain.

"Harry c'mon." said Genevieve as she tried to drag him to where the Shards were.

"No leave me I'll just slow you down." Said Harry.

"Don't be such a prat! I'll drag you all the way to where they are if I have to but I am not leaving you behind!" screamed Gen.

Genevieve was practically dragging Harry to where she felt the Shards were hidden. She was so close but a Death Eater stood in front of them.

"Going somewhere?" asked Lucius.

 "Yeah, as a matter of fact, we are!" Genevieve said.

"Think you can stop me from killing you?" asked Lucius.

"No but he can!" said Harry.

Lucius turned around to see Sirius behind him pointing a wand in his face.

With a few ill chosen Latin words Lucius fell to the floor unconscious.

"Sirius!" screamed Harry.

He hugged Sirius with all his might crying into his shirt. Genevieve just stood there feeling a bit left out.

"Genevieve I was so worried! I thought I lost you too." Sirius said as he dragged her into the hug.

Genevieve felt hot tears of happiness behind her eyelids but roughly brushed them away.

"Thanks Sirius but we need all the help we can get to reach the Shards. Can you help us?" asked Gen.

"Sure what do you need?" asked Sirius.

"A clear entry to the cave over there. I know the remaining Shards are over there. Also, can you mend Harry's knee?" asked Genevieve.

Sirius nodded and took out his wand with in a few minutes Harry could walk again.

"Thanks." Replied Harry.

"No trouble at all now go and get those Shards before Voldermort does!" screamed Sirius as he went to join in the fight.

Harry and Genevieve ran to the cave with no trouble. They noticed there was a temple built under the huge rock. Tall, majestic pillars, marble floors and scented oils surrounded the duo.

"There! On that offering table!" said Harry.

Genevieve looked to where Harry pointed and saw a large piece of the Crystal they're laying on a pillow of satin.

"What are we going to do with the Shards?" asked Harry.

"What we always do we combine the Shards to make the Crystal whole." Replied Gen.

Harry nodded and took the Crystal gently from the pillow.

Suddenly, the whole temple began to shake.

Harry and Gen began running toward the exit but with Genevieve's new burns it was difficult to run and she tripped on something. Harry didn't notice and continued running.

"Harry…" she whispered.

The temple suddenly collapsed making the rock shaking and fall. Harry fell to his knees and looked around. He couldn't see her anywhere.

"Genevieve?" he screamed.

Then it suddenly hit him she must have stayed behind in the temple. He looked back and saw that it was covered entirely with the huge rock.

"Genevieve!" he screamed.
