A/N- thanks to everyone who reviewed, especially pLaYFul*PixI3, my newest reviewer. . . and that just goes to show you Ashley that somehow people CAN find your story. . . I don't know how, but they can. . . so HA!. . . Anyway, in this chapter I am doing a few different people's POVs . . .

{A/N- Brianna's POV}
- . - . - . - . - . –
"And, Harry trusts me so of course his friends have gone insane and I'm being honest." Hope spoke as if what she said was perfectly honest.
"Is that so?"
Hope nodded, as did Brianna before she spoke, "Basically."
Draco looked satisfied as he nodded, "Good. Now Brianna I need you to come with me down to the library."
"Uhh.. Ok, so I take it we aren't going to the Quidditch Match?"
- . - . - . - . - . –
As she and Draco wondered down the hall she couldn't help but feel guilty about leaving Hope alone. Especially with knowing what was to happen to her.
"And you're sure this is the right thing to do to her?" Brianna questioned.
"No. Honestly I don't. But I have no choice it's what the Dark Lord wants. Now hurry up or we will be late."
"OK. . . " Brianna tried her best not to think about what was happening at this very moment to her best friend.
* * *
Pulling back one last branch to make her way through the Forbidden Forest Brianna realized she had no idea what kind of situation she was walking into.
"Draco." She began, "How much further?"
"Not too far."
"When will Hope be there?" She asked in a curious tone.
"If Emerson has done everything right then she should be there not too long after us, if not before."
"Oh." Brianna spoke while pulling back one last branch then stepped into an opening where only one Death Eater stood.
And From the opposite side where she and Draco had come in Brianna could see Hope's limp body being levitated to the middle of the group by Emmett.
"That's horrible." Brianna muttered.
"Well, Hope is definitely not one of the people that you could easily walk up to and ask 'hey do would please hurry up and kill someone?'"
Looking at him like he was crazy Brianna replied, "So she is really the one who has to do it." "Yes. Only she can."
"But I still don't understand why."
"Well, I guess you'll just have to ask her yourself." Draco replied, laughing a little.
- . - . - . - . - . –
{A/N- Hope's POV}
"Please Emmett don't."
The next thing she saw was complete darkness.
- . - . - . - . - . –
Hope slowly opened her eyes and realized she was lying on a patch of dead grass, "What the hell?" she muttered softly. Gently placing her hand on the ground she pushed herself up into a sitting position.
"Finally my beautiful daughter is awake." Hope looked around and her eyes fell upon her father.
"But where is Emmett?" Hope questioned.
"I'm right here." A voice behind her spoke softly, just before Emmett grabbed both her shoulders tightly, while shaking her violently "Now, I want you to tell me how you found out about those ancient spells."
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Hope's voice was unconvinced of her own answer; even though her words were true.
"Don't play stupid with me."
"What has gotten into you Emmett?"
"Nothing. I have just realized I wasn't going to be the nice guy everyone walked all over."
"This isn't you talking you would nev--" Suddenly Hope realized how stupid she had been. It couldn't have been a mistake that Brianna and Draco left her alone, just before Emmett knocked her out, "You were all against me all along..." She muttered.
Her father slowly made his way towards her, "You are such a clever little girl... just like your mother once was."
Hope held back the urge to cry, "Leave her out of this. It's your fault she's gone!"
"Poor, poor little confused Hope. It has always been your fault for not saving her."
Her eyes watered up and tears spilled out of them, "No."
Emmett laughed, "Even I know John's right Hope. Everyone wanted her gone you know. Including yourself. Or do you not remember?"
"I never tried to kill her."
"Yes you did. Don't you remember how you made her instantly stop breathing? Deep down you wanted her dead."
"No." She muttered again, only this time her voice was so soft no one could hear her.
"You know she looks just like Karen." It was her father speaking.
"Yes, indeed she does." Emmett paused, "Hope. Would you like to know a secret?"
"No. I don't want to hear anything from you." Hope spoke while pulling her hands over her ears.
Emmett pulled her hands down from her ears, forcing her to listen, "That night my death eaters killed your mother they killed the wrong person." He paused again, "They were supposed to kill you."
"What?" It was Brianna's voice she heard, "Draco you never told me what exactly was going to happen."
Hearing her Hope turned to face her, "I thought I could trust you Brianna. And Draco..." She couldn't say anything more.
In the distance Hope could have sworn that she heard footsteps not too far off.
"Now, are you ready to be with your mother?" Emmett's voice was cold.
"Yes." Was the reply Hope gave.
Draco looked confused, "You can't be serious."
Slowly she rose to her feet, "Please. Let me go to her. Make this mess stop. In fact use an unforgivable curse on me."
Emmett let out yet another laugh, "You think I'm that stupid? By now you have probably figured out a way to over come those curses..." He paused thinking, "Or... it could make things interesting..."
"I won't let you touch her!" It was Harry.
"Potter. You always have to be the hero." Emmett laughed, "I have failed before. As have my Death Eaters, but now. I have the strength and knowledge."
"To do what?" Harry questioned.
"Kill you." With this Emmett raised his wand, "Ava--" "No!" Hope screamed, while pulling out her own wand, "Come il mio dolore aumenta, in modo da mi fa l'avversione . . ." Her eyes turned black and she became paler than ever before, "Você forçou-me neste . . . In deze duisternis waarin ik niet kan zien . . . Je ne sens plus de plaisir, seulement remorse . . . Lo avete forzato qui . . . Agora eu estou deixando- me para fora . . . "
Emmett fell to the ground, cold. Hope stood there just looking at him. Suddenly she smiled, "He's gone. Finally. . . He's gone." With these words Hope collapsed realizing what she had just done, "No. ." She stared at him, waiting for him to move.
Brianna put her hands to her mouth, "Oh my God."
Harry walked over to Hope, not knowing what to do.
Draco's grey eyes were wide, "Emerson's gone."
"Well done Hope." It was her father speaking, "Well done . . . However you chose the wrong side." With this he disappeared.
Brianna ran over to Hope, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault, we shouldn't have left you."
"No. It wasn't your fault. It was mine."
* * *
Later Brianna had walked Hope back to the common room and there the two of them sat, in silence. "I loved Emmett." Hope muttered.
"You did?"
"Yes, but like a brother." Hope smiled, "I remember when I first met him I was only six and he was such a perfect little gentleman." She paused for a moment, "He became my best friend. I loved him so much . . . He was like my big brother. He was always there and always said the right thing . . . How could I have done this to him?" Once again Hope began sobbing.
"It wasn't your fault. He was going to kill Harry."
"Oh God . ."
"What?" Brianna's tone was confused.
"I didn't kill Emmett. It wasn't him."
"Hope, I understand excepting this is hard but--"
"No! You don't understand that wasn't him!"
Hope jumped to her feet, and then ran out the door. "Hope!" Brianna called after her.
She didn't stop, she ran out side and into the forest, then stopped were Emmett's body should have been, but wasn't.
"I hate you." She muttered softly, "Can you hear me? I hate you!" She screamed loudly.
"What did he ever do to you?" Her tone was still loud, "What the fuck did Emmett do to disserve this?" Hope took a deep breath and screamed at the top of her lungs, "I will find you and kill you! Tom Riddle, you remember this moment, you remember that you took my mother's life from me and my father. And don't you forget that you made me kill the only person who was left that loved me." She began crying hysterically, "You remember."
"Don't worry young one . . . I will . . ." A soft eerie voice whispered in her ear.
