A Mother's Vengeance
Chp.8 Discovery
I sat there, looking. That's all I could do, was look out over the grounds and watch. My mind wouldn't work, and I was glad, I didn't want it to work. The only thing running through my head was how I had been betrayed. These people took me in almost as if I was family and then they lied to me about something so serious. They accuse my mother of lying to me for the time she was alive in my life. How dare they even suggest such a thing? She would never try to hurt me like that. Unless she hadn't known she would hurt you, a little voice said in the back of my head. I quickly disregarded the tiny voice and stuck to my own. I didn't believe them, couldn't and definitely wouldn't believe them. My mother wouldn't ever lie to me about something that meant so much, or would she? There was he little voice again, but I kicked it to the side and told it to shut up.
Sitting in my arm chair I did the only thing I could do. I watched from a distanced as Ginny wiped away the tears that were staining her cheeks. She had told me to stay away from her, told me that she didn't want me to touch her, and I had tried anyway. It didn't matter what I had wanted. I should have listened, should have known that she was upset and couldn't control her emotions. Now I would be sporting a very nice bruise from hitting the wall in our bedroom, but that was fine, it was my own stupidity.
I still could not get over the reaction Abby had had that Ginny had explained to me. I knew the girl would be a bit taken a back but never realized she would completely go insane. By the weather outside Draco assumed both Ginny and Abby were both feeling the same way, except he noticed one of them was holding back. He could tell by the feeling in the air, although it was different then anything he'd ever felt before. None of Ginny's reactions had ever felt this strong. He assumed this was Abby's reactions and not Ginny's. The snow that as hitting the windows and melting, sliding down towards the windowsill was in fact from both Ginny and Abby he knew. They were both miserably upset and he knew he couldn't fix it with either of them. He wondered what Keygan was doing to try and calm Abby down; he wondered if Keygan had even found Abby yet.
I saw her, sitting there, her knees pressed as close to her body as she could get them and she was rocking herself back and forth. I knew she was upset, I could feel it, knew how it felt but then something else was there, or it was more like someone else was there.
"Abby" I whispered, trying to get her attention.
"Go away, Keygan" She said firmly but I could tell she didn't mean it. He walked up to her and lightly touched her shoulder. Her head flipped around and the last thing he remembered was her black eyes fade as her blue eyes starting coming back with a look of shock.
"Keygan!" I screamed. I knew I should have locked the door. He knows better than not to listen to me when I'm like this. What have I done? He knows, he knows, this has happened before. Damn you Keygan, you know better. She reached into her pocket to get her wand but realized she had left it in the room of requirement before she'd run out on Keygan. Damn it, I can't carry him, I need to get a teacher. But they'll think I did it on purpose, they can't know my secret. Then she knew what teacher she had to get but she didn't want to talk to either of them. She looked down at Keygan, kissed him lightly on the forehead and took off running.
"PROFESSORS!!!" I screamed before I'd even reached their room door. Draco opened the door and looked down at the young student who had collapsed in front of his room door.
"What's the matter, Abby?" Draco asked her worried.
"Keygan, he- he touched me and and I threw him. My powers, they just took me over, I didn't mean to, he's out cold, he needs help. Please help him Professor, I can't lose him."
"Abby where is he? Where is he, Abby?" Draco pressured because he saw the girl was about to pass out.
"Astronomy Tower" she said and then went limp from exhaust.
"Ginny, I know you don't feel up to anything but your daughter needs to be taken care of. I have to go to the astronomy tower."
Draco stood up and took off, only looking back to see Ginny levitate Abby off the floor and into their room. Draco had to hurry, he knew how much damage Abby could do with what had happened, he'd been in the position with Ginny before. He headed up into the Astronomy Tower and ran up the steps two at a time. He looked around in the room for the young boys body but came up empty. She had said the Astronomy tower, right? Yes, yes, she had said that. Then where is the boy?
"Did you think you'd escape me, boy?" an older version of Tom hissed at Keygan.
"You, you made her do that to me. No wonder she looked so shocked before I passed out. What the fuck do you want?"
Tom laughed a deep and throaty laugh.
"What do I want? Do you really have to ask the Keygan? Do you? You know I want Abby to listen to my commands. Her mother was so much weaker than her; I could take her mother over with barely a fight. Abby however, she is different; she was fighting with me right when you touched her, that's why you got thrown. She couldn't control her powers, you just happened to step in at the wrong time."
"Her mother? Who is her mother?"
"Don't be so stupid boy. You know who her mother is, you've met her before. You grew up around her."
"Until you murdered her."
"It had to be done, she had to die, just like your mother."
Keygan jumped up and pinned Tom up against a wall. Keygan saw Lucius draw his wand and point it at him a curse seconds away from his lips, but he didn't care.
"Abby, Abby wake up." Ginny said shaking her lightly.
"Mom, is that you." Abby asked, listening to the voice. She recognized that voice. Was it her mom? No, that voice she recognized it. The soothing sounding, then she heard a song. Had her mom sung that song to her, no it was before her mom. Before? Abby asked herself. When you were in your mothers womb, your real mother, a little voice said from the back of her head. This was the song that she heard, every night, in her dreams. Her entire life she'd heard this song in her dreams and this was the voice that had always sung it. Abby sat their and listened to the song being sung in the back ground, then she started singing the chorus with whoever was singing it with her.
Don't you understand What it would do to me
If something happened to you
I would shut out everyone
And everything in my life
I would cry a river of tears
For all the pain I'd have inside
Ginny looked down at the girl that was lying on hers and Draco's bed, in shock. She had sung that song when she was pregnant with Abby, but how had she remembered, she sung that song every night for five years, how could Abby know this song. Ginny kept singing it and Abby did too.
Dont you understand
What you are to me
You are my heart
You're what keeps it beating
You are my world to me
You're what keeps it spinning
Don't you understand?
You are my every thing
Abby's eyes fluttered open and she saw Ginny looking down at her, were those tears sliding down her Professor's face? Abby looked up at Ginny and noticed her eyes, those eyes, she only knew one other person that had eyes that did that; her.
"How do you know that song?" Ginny asked curiously to Abby.
"I remember it being sung to me and then I've dreamt every night, my entire life, and that song is always being sung in my dream. The same voice always sings the song, it's never changed. The voice, I've always wondered who it belonged to and why I was hearing it. One day I even heard it being sung, but I wasn't sleeping. And- and now I know who's voice it belongs to."
"And whose is that?" Ginny asked, hoping that it belonged to her.
"My mother." Abby said and threw her arms around Ginny's neck in a huge hug; the one Ginny had been waiting for her entire life. Ginny hugged her back, she never wanted to let go, she had finally found her daughter. Everyone had doubted Ginny, everyone told her after five years Voldemort had killed her daughter, but she had known better. Now she had her daughter, safe and in her arms where she belonged.
Draco came flying down the hall and turned a corner to go into his and Ginny's room. He heard her singing and then saw Abby join into the chorus; he looked at the girl stunned at the fact that she'd known the song. Her eyes were still closed though but she was singing the song right along with Ginny. Then they both finished the song and he heard Ginny ask Abby where she knew the song from and she said it'd been sung to her in her dreams all her life and the one night it was sung but she wasn't asleep. She then said the same voice had always sung it to her and she'd figured out who had been singing it. Then he watched as Ginny asked who and Abby replied my mother. He watched his wife's face when their daughter had finally come to terms and threw her arms around Ginny in a hug. He'd never seen her happier, except the day they got married, but this he wasn't quite sure but he believed she was happier now than even then. He just stood there and watched as the two held each other; Ginny had been the only one who'd never given up finding their daughter and now she had. Then he remembered why he was here and rushed into the room.
"I'm sorry to interrupt but Abby where did you say Keygan was?"
"He was in the Astronomy tower."
"Well, he's not anymore."
Keygan pulled his wand out and stuck it straight to Tom's throat. Lucius started to say the killing curse but then Tom cut in.
"Don't even bother Lucius, it won't work on him. You know that as well as I do."
"What do you mean it won't work on me?"
Tom laughed again and then replied. "The killing curse won't work on you."
"Why?"
"What do you mean he's not there?"
"He's gone Abby. He's not in the castle anymore either, I checked the Marauders map that Harry gave us."
"The what map? Harry who? Oh, that doesn't matter, where could he---" Abby cut off.
"What's the matter Abby?" Draco asked concerned by the look on her face.
"I know where he is. He's in trouble, I can feel it, he's confused. I'm leaving." She said and closed her eyes.
"No!" Ginny yelled. Abby opened her eyes again.
"No what?"
"You can't leave. What if you get hurt? I'm not losing you again."
"I have to go. I can't leave him there."
"Let someone else do it. Someone who's trained in the rescue field."
"Who do you know that's trained to deal with my father?"
"We know Harry."
"Who the bloody fucking hell is Harry?"
"Harry Potter, haven't you ever heard of him?"
"Yes, of course I have. He's the reason Keygan and I were trained so well while we were growing up."
"What do you mean?"
"My father trained us to kill him. That was going to be our purpose, with my strength I could kill him instantly, before he even knew what was coming. That has been my soul purpose in life, being brought up in the house of Tom Riddle, Voldemort. Yes, I know my father is Voldemort, I've known my entire life, I've been taught to kill, I've been trained to kill." Abby said looking at the shock that was written all over her 'parents' faces.
"Now if you'd excuse me I have to go to Keygan"
"No, someone else can go Abby. I don't care how trained you are. Besides you can't kill Tom. Only one person can and that's Harry, it's known, it's a prophecy that will come true."
"I don't care, I have to save Keygan. I love him and I'm not letting anyone stand in my way. You can't stop me from going, no one can." With that she closed her eyes and concentrated on Keygan's whereabouts. With a blink of the eye, she was gone and in Malfoy Manor, where she'd grown up.
"Tell me damn it!" Keygan shouted at Tom.
"What do you want to know?" Tom said dancing around the subject.
"You know what I want to know you fucking bastard."
"Language, language my dear boy. Do not think I will hesitate in killing you."
"Well you can't do it with magic as you just said and with the position you're in I suggest you not tempt me. Like you said just now, I will not hesitate to kill you. You've trained me in it you've taught me how to kill first hand; you know I can kill you."
"And then I'll just come back, like I have every other time someone has tried to kill me. I can't be killed."
"Then I'll make you disappear as long as I can. Now why the fuck can't the killing curse kill me? I think I deserve to know."
"And I think I deserve to know as well why you lied to me about who my mother was." Abby said standing a top a very stiff and stunned Lucius.
"Abby, so nice to see you too darling." Tom hissed out.
"Don't. I know you aren't my real father just like I know my mother wasn't my biological mother, even though she was a mom to me for so long. You however were never a father, so if I kill you I will have no regrets at all. Care to explain yourself?"
"For the second time tonight, I can not be killed."
"Yes you can Tom. Harry Potter, he can kill you, can't he? That's why you wanted him dead all this time. What you didn't expect was for us to find out that he was the only person who could kill you. I'll also have you know, he's on his way here now along with Professor Dumbledore." For the slightest second she saw something flash in his eyes that she'd never seen before, fear.
"Ginny it's okay, she'll be fine. Don't you realize who she sounds like? She sounds just like you when you told your parents about me. She loves him and she'll do anything for him. You know how that feels just as well as I do."
"I know Draco, that's what scares me."
"She'll be perfectly fine Ginny, you know that and so do I."
"Now, we better get going, I've already owled Harry and he's on his way to Malfoy Manor; so are we."
"How do you know they're going to be at Malfoy Manor?"
"That's where Tom has always hidden out. I grew up with that."
"Oh." Was all Ginny said before they all took off.
Abby closed her eyes to focus on how many people were in the castle. She could only sense about 15 and knew she could take them out instantly. Keygan looked over at her and heard her mutter 'petrificus totalus' and knew she was knocking out those in the castle, that must mean there weren't that many. He knew she could probably only take out around thirty by herself at one time. He assumed she was done because she moved and walked over towards where he had Tom pinned against the wall.
"So, are you going to fill me in on what happened, Tom?"
"You sound so much like your mother when she was younger. You know your father, Draco, look at his upper arm, he has my mark on him and your mother does on her lower back, they came to me and I knew they would betray me before they even joined. I didn't need tem nor did I want them, I just wanted you. You were what I needed; you would be my key to take over once I got rid of Harry Potter. Do you realize how powerful you are Abby? Do you even know what you could do? How much damage you can do with just thinking?"
"I know Tom, remember, you taught me."
"I only taught you to the point of where I knew, you have so much power in you Abby. Why do you think I sent you to Hogwarts, I went there, I knew exactly how they taught, what they taught and I knew if anyone could teach you farther than me it could only be one person."
"And who would that be?"
"Dumbledore, as much as I despise him I knew he could teach you. He taught all those teachers what they know; he taught me what I know. I knew he would take an interest in you as well as he did Harry."
"So it wasn't to take Keygan away from me?"
"Yes, of course it was for that too. I couldn't have him going and getting you pregnant now. Then you become like your mother once I took the child away from you. Once you lose that innocence your powers get stronger and I would be less able to control you."
"But you can't control me as it is Tom."
"Exactly, it's because of him." Tom said looking towards Keygan.
"How is it his fault?"
"You two weren't meant to be soul mates, that's not why I created him. I created him to be of great use to me. Once your mothers figured out you were soul mates they knew it would make your powers even greater, that's why they had to be killed. Before they could tell you that and make you two stay together. Obviously it didn't work in killing them."
"What do you mean created him Thomas?" Dumbledore boomed. The fear was written all over Toms face.
"No, before you even bother, I want to know. Why won't the killing curse kill me?" Keygan said demanding an answer.
"Because it's already been used on you. When you were a baby, you were about one and we decided it was time to test it. Dumbledore can show you, cast an un-concealing charm on him, go ahead." Dumbledore did but nothing changed on Keygan.
"Nothing changed Tom." Abby said
"Yes it did, move his hair to the side." Abby did and there on Keygan's forehead was a lightning bolt shaped scar.
"So it's a scar. Who am I a clone of?"
"Me." A man, who stood about six feet tall, had piercing green eyes, and a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead.
"Who are you?" Keygan asked skeptically to the man who looked like an older version of himself.
"Harry...Harry Potter."
I sat there, looking. That's all I could do, was look out over the grounds and watch. My mind wouldn't work, and I was glad, I didn't want it to work. The only thing running through my head was how I had been betrayed. These people took me in almost as if I was family and then they lied to me about something so serious.

"PROFESSORS!!!" I screamed before I'd even reached their room door. Draco opened the door and looked down at the young student who had collapsed in front of his room door.
"What's the matter, Abby?" Draco asked her worried.
"Keygan, he- he touched me and and I threw him. My powers, they just took me over, I didn't mean to, he's out cold, he needs help. Please help him Professor, I can't lose him."
"Abby where is he? Where is he, Abby?" Draco pressured because he saw the girl was about to pass out.
"Astronomy Tower" she said and then went limp from exhaust.
"Ginny, I know you don't feel up to anything but your daughter needs to be taken care of. I have to go to the astronomy tower."
Draco stood up and took off, only looking back to see Ginny levitate Abby off the floor and into their room. Draco had to hurry, he knew how much damage Abby could do with what had happened, he'd been in the position with Ginny before. He headed up into the Astronomy Tower and ran up the steps two at a time. He looked around in the room for the young boys body but came up empty. She had said the Astronomy tower, right? Yes, yes, she had said that. Then where is the boy?
"Did you think you'd escape me, boy?" an older version of Tom hissed at Keygan.
"You, you made her do that to me. No wonder she looked so shocked before I passed out. What the fuck do you want?"
Tom laughed a deep and throaty laugh.
"What do I want? Do you really have to ask the Keygan? Do you? You know I want Abby to listen to my commands. Her mother was so much weaker than her; I could take her mother over with barely a fight. Abby however, she is different; she was fighting with me right when you touched her, that's why you got thrown. She couldn't control her powers, you just happened to step in at the wrong time."
"Her mother? Who is her mother?"
"Don't be so stupid boy. You know who her mother is, you've met her before. You grew up around her."
"Until you murdered her."
"It had to be done, she had to die, just like your mother."
Keygan jumped up and pinned Tom up against a wall. Keygan saw Lucius draw his wand and point it at him a curse seconds away from his lips, but he didn't care.
"Abby, Abby wake up." Ginny said shaking her lightly.
"Mom, is that you." Abby asked, listening to the voice. She recognized that voice. Was it her mom? No, that voice she recognized it. The soothing sounding, then she heard a song.

Abby sat their and listened to the song being sung in the back ground, then she started singing the chorus with whoever was singing it with her.
Don't you understand What it would do to me
If something happened to you
I would shut out everyone
And everything in my life
I would cry a river of tears
For all the pain I'd have inside
Ginny looked down at the girl that was lying on hers and Draco's bed, in shock. She had sung that song when she was pregnant with Abby, but how had she remembered, she sung that song every night for five years, how could Abby know this song. Ginny kept singing it and Abby did too.
Dont you understand
What you are to me
You are my heart
You're what keeps it beating
You are my world to me
You're what keeps it spinning
Don't you understand?
You are my every thing
Abby's eyes fluttered open and she saw Ginny looking down at her, were those tears sliding down her Professor's face? Abby looked up at Ginny and noticed her eyes, those eyes, she only knew one other person that had eyes that did that; her.
"How do you know that song?" Ginny asked curiously to Abby.
"I remember it being sung to me and then I've dreamt every night, my entire life, and that song is always being sung in my dream. The same voice always sings the song, it's never changed. The voice, I've always wondered who it belonged to and why I was hearing it. One day I even heard it being sung, but I wasn't sleeping. And- and now I know who's voice it belongs to."
"And whose is that?" Ginny asked, hoping that it belonged to her.
"My mother." Abby said and threw her arms around Ginny's neck in a huge hug; the one Ginny had been waiting for her entire life.

Keygan pulled his wand out and stuck it straight to Tom's throat. Lucius started to say the killing curse but then Tom cut in.

"I have to go. I can't leave him there."
"Let someone else do it. Someone who's trained in the rescue field."

"Tell me damn it!" Keygan shouted at Tom.
"What do you want to know?" Tom said dancing around the subject.
"You know what I want to know you fucking bastard."
"Language, language my dear boy. Do not think I will hesitate in killing you."
"Well you can't do it with magic as you just said and with the position you're in I suggest you not tempt me. Like you said just now, I will not hesitate to kill you. You've trained me in it you've taught me how to kill first hand; you know I can kill you."

"And I think I deserve to know as well why you lied to me about who my mother was." Abby said standing a top a very stiff and stunned Lucius.
"Abby, so nice to see you too darling." Tom hissed out.

"I know Draco, that's what scares me."
"She'll be perfectly fine Ginny, you know that and so do I."
"Now, we better get going, I've already owled Harry and he's on his way to Malfoy Manor; so are we."
"How do you know they're going to be at Malfoy Manor?"
"That's where Tom has always hidden out. I grew up with that."
"Oh." Was all Ginny said before they all took off.
Abby closed her eyes to focus on how many people were in the castle. She could only sense about 15 and knew she could take them out instantly. Keygan looked over at her and heard her mutter 'petrificus totalus' and knew she was knocking out those in the castle, that must mean there weren't that many. He knew she could probably only take out around thirty by herself at one time. He assumed she was done because she moved and walked over towards where he had Tom pinned against the wall.
"So, are you going to fill me in on what happened, Tom?"
"You sound so much like your mother when she was younger. You know your father, Draco, look at his upper arm, he has my mark on him and your mother does on her lower back, they came to me and I knew they would betray me before they even joined. I didn't need tem nor did I want them, I just wanted you. You were what I needed; you would be my key to take over once I got rid of Harry Potter. Do you realize how powerful you are Abby? Do you even know what you could do? How much damage you can do with just thinking?"
"I know Tom, remember, you taught me."
"I only taught you to the point of where I knew, you have so much power in you Abby. Why do you think I sent you to Hogwarts, I went there, I knew exactly how they taught, what they taught and I knew if anyone could teach you farther than me it could only be one person."
"And who would that be?"
"Dumbledore, as much as I despise him I knew he could teach you. He taught all those teachers what they know; he taught me what I know. I knew he would take an interest in you as well as he did Harry."
"So it wasn't to take Keygan away from me?"
"Yes, of course it was for that too. I couldn't have him going and getting you pregnant now. Then you become like your mother once I took the child away from you. Once you lose that innocence your powers get stronger and I would be less able to control you."
"But you can't control me as it is Tom."
"Exactly, it's because of him." Tom said looking towards Keygan.
"How is it his fault?"
"You two weren't meant to be soul mates, that's not why I created him. I created him to be of great use to me. Once your mothers figured out you were soul mates they knew it would make your powers even greater, that's why they had to be killed. Before they could tell you that and make you two stay together. Obviously it didn't work in killing them."
"What do you mean created him Thomas?" Dumbledore boomed. The fear was written all over Toms face.
"No, before you even bother, I want to know. Why won't the killing curse kill me?" Keygan said demanding an answer.
"Because it's already been used on you. When you were a baby, you were about one and we decided it was time to test it. Dumbledore can show you, cast an un-concealing charm on him, go ahead." Dumbledore did but nothing changed on Keygan.
"Nothing changed Tom." Abby said
"Yes it did, move his hair to the side." Abby did and there on Keygan's forehead was a lightning bolt shaped scar.
"So it's a scar. Who am I a clone of?"
"Me." A man, who stood about six feet tall, had piercing green eyes, and a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead.
"Who are you?" Keygan asked skeptically to the man who looked like an older version of himself.
"Harry...Harry Potter."
