~********************************************~
Harry and Cho sat down in the chairs across from Dumbledore's desk. James and Lily stood near each other holding on to each others hands, looking down at the ground. Cho was closing her eyes breathing in slightly as sharp pains came to her stomach here and there. Soon enough, Professor Dumbledore had appeared, wearing magnificent silver robes, glistening through with his long beard, his moon-shaped spectacles, and his sparkling eyes. It brought small ease to Harry but not by much.
"Harry, Cho, Lillian, James, may I ask how you are all doing this fine evening?" Dumbledore asked.
"Horribly Professor." Cho said softly as she put her hand on her stomach.
"Is something the matter with the baby?" Dumbledore asked as he directed his eyes upon Harry.
"That's…just the thing Professor. We don't know what's going on." James chimed in.
"But we are here for a very important reason." Lily said her voice very soft, and with every word you could sense the fear.
Dumbledore still rested his stare of wonder on Harry. Harry looked to Cho, who was looking down to the ground closing her eyes to dismantle the pain away. He looked over to his parents who were waiting for him to explain what they were in the office for. Harry had cleared his throat and took in a deep breath.
"Professor…could you tell me about…these legends. My parents let it come to my attention tonight about them. I was hoping you could share with us what this is all about." Harry said.
"Ah…the legends, pursuing of Gryffindor Descendants, and Slytherin Descendants…are you sure you want to know about this?" Dumbledore asked.
"It's for the sake of Cho and the baby, I need to know." Harry said.
"Lillian…James, I'd advise you both to take a seat." Dumbledore said.
Lily and James just nodded and took a seat on the side looking at Harry with worried looks on their faces. Dumbledore sighed and got up from his seat looking out to the sight of the moon in the dark night sky. Harry and Cho looked at him waiting for any word about the legends. They were anticipating to know.
"The legends started centuries ago when Hogwarts was first in session to teach magic to all who was prone to magically studies. Of course everybody knows about the four founders of Hogwarts, Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, and Salazar Slytherin." Dumbledore began.
"In their history, and of the records that the magic of history teacher, Professor Binns has, it was known that Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin had always had a fit for each other. Each of them absolutely loathed one another, but it was never sure on why."
Dumbledore paused for a moment to make sure Harry and Cho weren't lost. Lily and James continued to look down. Dumbledore knew they had heard of the story before.
"One fatal day, the clashes of Godric and Salazar had finally hit the boiling point. They had gotten into one of the most remembered duels in the history of magic. In the end Salazar had left in a huff but before leaving the school, he promised and casted a threat onto Godric, beckoning that one day his line would come to an end. His descendants would see to it that Godric's would all die off, to never have a line of people like Gryffindor. Godric had made the same vow on Salazar's behalf." Dumbledore said.
"Well then…what does this have to do with the baby?" Cho asked.
"In the legend, Salazar was rumoured to have killed of the first born child that had gone to Godric. But that is a different story. Right now Cho, you hold the newest to the line of the Potter line, which is also connected to Godric Gryffindor's line of descendants." Dumbledore said.
"Which makes Voldemort the last remaining descendant of Salazar Slytherin…has this been why he's been after me?" Harry asked.
"I'm afraid so, but now that you are married and have the newest descendant to come, you may be able to break the threat, creating only one legend. One prophecy that will consist of you, being Godric Gryffindor's heir, defeating Salazar Slytherin's heir and ending his legend once and for all." Dumbledore said.
"So, wait a minute does this mean…that in the end one of them will have to die to win the spot of the legend?" Cho asked horrified.
Dumbledore sighed and looked down, sadly nodding. Cho looked at Harry, shaking her head in disbelief.
"No…no it can't be this way. It just can't!" she cried.
Harry had gotten Cho into his arms as she cried into his shoulders. Lily and James got up from their seats. James was holding on to her as Lily as well was letting out soft cries.
"It was the same legend your father and I had to learn about years ago Harry, before you were born, when I was carrying you. I only wished that we would've made it. I never wanted this to get to you." Lily said softly.
"But it seems…that it might be Harry's destiny to defeat Voldemort, considering on how he merely escaped with just that scar on his forehead when he was just a year old." James said flipping some of Harry's hair back to look at the scar closely.
"James! Harry is close to graduating and starting a life with his new family, this shouldn't be in his plans at all!" Lily exclaimed.
As Lily and James started to get into a small argument, Dumbledore had walked them over to the second panel of the office. Harry wasn't paying attention much as he just looked at Cho, who was distressed. Harry hugged her and held her in his arms for a couple of more minutes.
"This isn't what I want to find out Harry. Harry please, tell me that you're not going to fight to the death for the legend." Cho pleaded softly.
Harry just looked at her lost of words. He knew what he had to do, but to see Cho so distressed, he couldn't bear it. Cho put her head on his shoulder as she sat down on his lap, feeling the tears streaming down from her eyes.
(Brief A/N: excuse me for one second…*grabs a tissue* Ok my heart is breaking as I'm typing this so…*sniffle* ok continue on tell me if you've felt some heartbreak too in the review…*blows nose*)
"I can't imagine my life without you Harry. Things have gotten so perfect. We're married, we have a baby on the way, we're graduating soon, I'll be working in the Ministry as you train up to be an auror with Moody and Lupin…what if that gets taken from us?" Cho said softly.
"I still need to fight though Cho. For the wizarding world, for you, for our baby. For the future." Harry said quietly.
Cho looked up to him and bit her lower lip, looking at him in the eye. She closed her eyes letting more tears stream down and just put her arms around his shoulders. Dumbledore, Lily, and James had stirred to silence as they watched on, focusing their attention on Harry and Cho.
"Cho…if I do die in this battle, I want you to always remember…always remember that I love you, I will never leave you even after moving on. And to know I died in battle to save you is all I need to know I wasn't making a mistake." Harry said, picking her chin up and wiping away a couple of tears.
"Please, don't talk about death. I couldn't bear to think about a future without you Harry. I will never be able to bear it. I need you." Cho said softly.
Dumbledore, Lily and James had walked up to them again. Lily had laid a hand on Cho's shoulder with a solemn look on her face.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Potter, for you to have to hear all of this in your condition. But it lays down to your husbands decision if he will fight this battle for yours and the baby's sake." Dumbledore said quietly.
"Do I have anytime to make a decision…or does it have to be final tonight." Harry said while looking down, not looking at Cho directly in the eye.
"It depends on how much danger Cho and the baby could be in right now." Dumbledore said.
And with that Ron and Hermione came barging into the office with Professor Mcgonagal rushing in after them.
"Mr. Weasley, Miss. Granger! What is the meaning of all of this? Barging in here with no remorse?" Professor Mcgonagal said breathlessly.
"Trust me Professor, it's important news." Hermione said breathlessly.
"Harry, Cho, Samantha's gone off the haywire! She's turned to Voldemort, she's shown us powers I didn't even think she had!" Ron said.
Cho got out from Harry's grasp and stepped down from Dumbledore's desk. She started to shake her head in disbelief once again. Hermione could see that a couple of tears were still astray from her face.
"Oh my god…Cho what's the matter?" Hermione asked.
"A lot has happened…and this news isn't really the greatest follow up to it." Cho said softly as she took in a couple of breaths as the pain started stirring again.
Harry got up from his seat heading down to them all until he felt a sting of pain. He rubbed his scar thinking that it was the usual pain that he'd feel connected to Voldemort but this wasn't the case. As he felt the pain in his scar, he saw that Cho was kneeling down holding on to her stomach as pain came there. The pain from his scar then suddenly stopped. A sudden coolness flushed through his mind. Cho shivered as she felt the same sensation going through her stomach.
"W-what's happening to me?" Cho asked shakily.
"Did you just feel pain and a sudden coolness?" Harry asked.
"Y-yes…why?" Cho asked.
"Oh dear…you don't…you don't think that…the baby and Harry are connected to the pain do you?" Hermione asked concerned.
"That would be very out of the ordinary Miss. Granger. It's very unlikely." Professor Mcgonagal said.
"Ron, you need to tell us more about Samantha's little visit. What happened?" Harry asked.
"M-maybe this isn't exactly the best time to tell you…" Ron said.
"Ron, what ever it was that she said I think we should know to be prepared. What happened?" Harry asked again.
"Er…well…" Ron began.
"Samantha popped up in the common room…and she was talking menacingly about a legend. And then how your child would be coming sooner then expected…and about how she would help Voldemort to succeed with his plan." Hermione said clearly but quietly.
Cho sat down taking in deep breaths while shaking her head in disbelief once again.
"This means I have to go through with the battle then…" Harry said.
"Harry!" Lily said.
"Now son, this is a very important decision here. You could be putting your life on the line." James said cautiously.
"Better to leave my life on the line for my wife and our child, then to die aimlessly for something I didn't know about." Harry said.
"Death? Battle? What's going on here?" Ron asked.
Cho got up and just let the tears flow down again. She went over to Harry putting her arms around his shoulders. Harry put his arms around Cho as if it would be the last time he would get to hold her. The last time he would get to feel her gentle touch.
"Isn't there a second option though Albus? We can't just let Potter go out there and risk it." Professor Mcgonagal said pleading.
"It would have to be, to get a secret keeper. One that they can trust, and then to await for the birth of their new baby. Once the baby is born it must be kept under the watch of the security of the top witches and wizards. But I don't think we can risk it. Right now Hogwarts would be the only safe place for them to stay." Dumbledore said.
Everybody else's words just seemed to fade away from Harry and Cho's world. They didn't take heed on what they were saying. All they could sense, feel, and know about was their love growing stronger, the weakness in them of the fear that they might lose each other. Cho continued to try to keep her cries in. Harry looked into her eyes once again and just kissed her tenderly to bring her a little ease. Cho returned the kisses still keeping her arms locked around his shoulders. Harry put one of his hands, gliding them through her hair as the other wrapped around her waist.
"Potter…you won't have to go into battle automatically. Just keep to your studies for now. If there are anymore high alerts we will make sure you and your wife will be safely escorted somewhere away from the danger." Professor Mcgonagal said.
Harry just merely nodded, still keeping his glance on Cho. His beautiful wife, his soul mate, the love of his life. How could a situation like this have to go and ruin things for him like this? Cho took her hands and ran them through his messy jet-black hair, kissing him tenderly on the lips once in a while. The tears still flowed from her eyes, they were still glistening from her eyes and sliding down from her face. Harry took his thumb and just pushed some away. He couldn't bear the sight of it, he never could. Lily and James looked at them with much sorrow in their eyes. Hermione and Ron just looked down feeling the same sorrow. Hermione and Ron had caught each others glance and joined hands.
"I don't want it to be this way. I want to live in peace with you and our baby. I don't want to live in fear. I don't want to live without you." Cho said softly.
Harry just brought her into his embrace again. He didn't want to leave Cho, he didn't want to hurt her. But with just the thought of his decision to fight and save her from Voldemort's grasp, he knew it was eating her up inside. He thought about if he were to die…he would leave Cho all alone in the world, with their child. He shook his head to get those thoughts out.
"I'm not going to die on you. My love for you will keep me alive." Harry said quietly.
~******************************************************~
Little did they know, Harry and Cho were being watched and by none other then, Lord Voldemort, Nagini, and Samantha, eyes still glowing bright red from hatred and anger. A green flame vision was glowing before them with the vision of Harry and Cho embracing, both with the fear in their hearts.
"They know too much now. They know about the legends." Nagini said.
"Oh but my dear Nagini…they have a right to know about these legends. They have a right to know what's at stake and what they're going to lose." Voldemort hissed.
"How do you plan to kick that off Tom? It's not going to be a picnic." Nagini said.
"Sending a decoy…embracing that idea of a secret keeper." Voldemort said menacingly.
"Who do you plan to use?" Nagini asked.
"Samantha of course…surprisingly she has come to great use. Samantha…come forth to your master." Voldemort hissed.
"Yes master. What may I do to please you?" Samantha said as she bowed down.
"Ah, Samantha…is there anyway for your eyes to stop glowing red?" Voldemort asked.
"Not sure master. They've been like this with the hatred I feel in my heart." Samantha replied still bowing down.
"Think of something…something peaceful. Something you love. Something you want, with all of your heart." Voldemort said.
"The only thing in my heart right now is to please you master." Samantha said.
"Think about Weasley, deep in your heart I can sense you still love him…you always have…and you always will. That is your weakness." Nagini said as she stepped over to Samantha.
Samantha began to feel a twinge in her heart. A sudden lowing down of it. She felt her heart beating a little faster at the thought of Ron. And with that, as she was staring down the red glow started to dim.
"You know deep down inside your heart you still love this man. Even after all he's done to you, ganging with that mudbl00d Granger…you still love him. You have dreams and thoughts to share the same love you've felt all this time again…you feel as though you need to be complete with him…" Nagini said slowly as she tried to sense each and every detail.
"So what if I still love him…I-is that a crime?" Samantha said voice breaking as the red glow vanished and tears started to form.
"Your pitiful weakness…the weakness of love…it'll come to do some good." Nagini hissed as she stepped back.
"Now Samantha…listen very carefully to my instructions. If any of these steps are mislead to commence…then our plan will never succeed. Do you understand me?" Voldemort said.
Samantha rose her head up for the first time, her hazel green eyes gleaming with tears, from the pain of remembering Ron.
"Yes my lord." Samantha replied.
"Come forth dear Samantha…I will share with you the plan" Voldemort said as he used his hand to beckon her over.
Suddenly Samantha didn't feel as much hatred and anger as she did before. As Voldemort was telling her the plan all she could picture in her mind was Ron's smiling face. The times where she would swish up his red hair, the time where she could've put her hand on his freckled face. But with the plan Voldemort had in store, she was hoping to diverse one of her own…getting Ron back to love her again.
Alright I think I'ma stop there. As for now the plan that Voldelocks(lol! Sorry it's my nickname for You-Kno-who shhhh) has in store…you guys will just have to wait to see what it's about! So please review and I will update a.s.a.p. I promise ^_^

Harry just merely nodded, still keeping his glance on Cho. His beautiful wife, his soul mate, the love of his life. How could a situation like this have to go and ruin things for him like this? Cho took her hands and ran them through his messy jet-black hair, kissing him tenderly on the lips once in a while. The tears still flowed from her eyes, they were still glistening from her eyes and sliding down from her face. Harry took his thumb and just pushed some away. He couldn't bear the sight of it, he never could. Lily and James looked at them with much sorrow in their eyes. Hermione and Ron just looked down feeling the same sorrow. Hermione and Ron had caught each others glance and joined hands.
"I don't want it to be this way. I want to live in peace with you and our baby. I don't want to live in fear. I don't want to live without you." Cho said softly.
Harry just brought her into his embrace again. He didn't want to leave Cho, he didn't want to hurt her. But with just the thought of his decision to fight and save her from Voldemort's grasp, he knew it was eating her up inside. He thought about if he were to die…he would leave Cho all alone in the world, with their child. He shook his head to get those thoughts out.
"I'm not going to die on you. My love for you will keep me alive." Harry said quietly.
~******************************************************~
Little did they know, Harry and Cho were being watched and by none other then, Lord Voldemort, Nagini, and Samantha, eyes still glowing bright red from hatred and anger. A green flame vision was glowing before them with the vision of Harry and Cho embracing, both with the fear in their hearts.
"They know too much now. They know about the legends." Nagini said.
"Oh but my dear Nagini…they have a right to know about these legends. They have a right to know what's at stake and what they're going to lose." Voldemort hissed.
"How do you plan to kick that off Tom? It's not going to be a picnic." Nagini said.
"Sending a decoy…embracing that idea of a secret keeper." Voldemort said menacingly.
"Who do you plan to use?" Nagini asked.
"Samantha of course…surprisingly she has come to great use. Samantha…come forth to your master." Voldemort hissed.
"Yes master. What may I do to please you?" Samantha said as she bowed down.
"Ah, Samantha…is there anyway for your eyes to stop glowing red?" Voldemort asked.
"Not sure master. They've been like this with the hatred I feel in my heart." Samantha replied still bowing down.
"Think of something…something peaceful. Something you love. Something you want, with all of your heart." Voldemort said.
"The only thing in my heart right now is to please you master." Samantha said.
"Think about Weasley, deep in your heart I can sense you still love him…you always have…and you always will. That is your weakness." Nagini said as she stepped over to Samantha.
Samantha began to feel a twinge in her heart. A sudden lowing down of it. She felt her heart beating a little faster at the thought of Ron. And with that, as she was staring down the red glow started to dim.
"You know deep down inside your heart you still love this man. Even after all he's done to you, ganging with that mudbl00d Granger…you still love him. You have dreams and thoughts to share the same love you've felt all this time again…you feel as though you need to be complete with him…" Nagini said slowly as she tried to sense each and every detail.
"So what if I still love him…I-is that a crime?" Samantha said voice breaking as the red glow vanished and tears started to form.
"Your pitiful weakness…the weakness of love…it'll come to do some good." Nagini hissed as she stepped back.
"Now Samantha…listen very carefully to my instructions. If any of these steps are mislead to commence…then our plan will never succeed. Do you understand me?" Voldemort said.
Samantha rose her head up for the first time, her hazel green eyes gleaming with tears, from the pain of remembering Ron.
"Yes my lord." Samantha replied.
"Come forth dear Samantha…I will share with you the plan" Voldemort said as he used his hand to beckon her over.
Suddenly Samantha didn't feel as much hatred and anger as she did before. As Voldemort was telling her the plan all she could picture in her mind was Ron's smiling face. The times where she would swish up his red hair, the time where she could've put her hand on his freckled face. But with the plan Voldemort had in store, she was hoping to diverse one of her own…getting Ron back to love her again.
Alright I think I'ma stop there. As for now the plan that Voldelocks(lol! Sorry it's my nickname for You-Kno-who shhhh) has in store…you guys will just have to wait to see what it's about! So please review and I will update a.s.a.p. I promise ^_^
