Chapter 14: Hazel's Woe
"You will what?" asked Sirius. Sirius hated Mercutio far more then he could ever hate Snape. Snape had not sent James and Lily to their death. Mercutio betrayed them and would always be a traitor in Sirius's eyes. "I will help you save Harry," said Mercutio in his deep voice. "Forgive me but I think it should be some one who knows a little bit about Harry," said Sirius losing his cool. "He is my son, isn't he?" said Mercutio. "That doesn't mean you know jack shit about him," said Sirius who was now standing up. Lupin jumped in before things got out of control. "I will help you as well," he said. "And I'll be the third," said Tonks. Her hair was green with golden tips. "So this is the group who will save the famous Harry Potter," said Moody. He looked at a red faced Sirius, to a girl with green and gold hair. Then at a man who was standing in the back of the room where his face could not be seen and to a weary looking man who needed a shave. "I hope Ron, Hermione and Ginny are stronger then they look."
Harry and Hazel were rubbing their arms from where the bars had burned them. "Are you ok?" asked Harry. Hazel looked up surprised. It had been a long time since anyone had asked her if she was OK. "Um yeah. This is nothing compared to-" but she stopped. She didn't need to pour her heart out to Harry. He knew what suffering was. She didn't need to explain it to him. Harry seemed to notice her withdrawal because he urged her to go on. "No, go on. Compared to what?" asked Harry. "Nothing Harry. It's nothing. I'm just so glad to see you again," she said wanting to change the subject. It was very wonderful to have Harry back. She had missed him more then she thought possible. "Well just because I couldn't remember you, didn't mean I didn't go crazy trying to figure out who you were. Look," said Harry. He pulled the necklace he was going to give Hazel for Christmas out from under his robes. Hazel looked out it odd. "Harry, that is a very beautiful necklace but it looks like a woman's necklace. Why are wearing it?" Harry gave a little laugh. That simple sound sent shivers down Hazel's back. "This is the necklace I was going to give to you for Christmas. I found it when I got back to school," said Harry who was still a little red from Hazel's question. Hazel started to cry again. Harry put his hands up in defense. "Hey, I didn't mean to make you cry," he said. "No it's just.. if I would have stayed at school then we wouldn't be in this mess. Harry, I want you to know that if I had known I was with child I would have never went to the Malfoy Manor." Harry had just realized how hard it had to be on Hazel. She had lost a baby and he was sure that was no easy thing for a mother to go through. "Harry I killed it," she was crying in her knees. Harry wanted.no needed to hold her. "No you didn't. The Malfoy's killed it and killed you. But threw a blessing in discuses, Voldemort brought you back," said Harry. "No, Harry I killed the baby!" yelled Hazel. Harry looked at her. He wasn't sure what she meant. "I don't understand-" he began. "Harry, Voldemort brought the baby back too. He was going to use it to take over his army. I couldn't let him do that. I just couldn't!!!," Hazel started to get angry. "I wasn't going to have him take OUR baby and make it evil. Harry, I just couldn't let him take our baby," Hazel seemed to be trying to get Harry to understand. But Harry still didn't get it. "I ran away from him and stole a wand from some Death Eater and killed the baby before they knew I was lose. Then I started to run and he found me. I was going to use the wand to get me some place safe but once Voldemort knew I was out he used a spell to disable all Death Eater wands within so many miles. I was defenseless. Then he caught me and told me he was going to marry me and use me to bring you to your death. He put me under the Imperio curse and sent me to Hogwarts. I put the Rates on your eyes and got out of there before anyone found you. So you see ALL of this is MY fault!"
Harry was glued to his spot. He had seen Hazel in his dream the same night she got read of the baby. He understood why Hazel did what she did and he didn't blame her. He would have done the same thing. But there was no way he was going to make her feel any better about it.
Slowly he walked over to the bars and grabbed them. You could hear them sizzling his flesh. "Hazel look at me," he said sternly. Hazel winced but looked up at him. When she seen his hands on the bars she cried. "Harry, your burning yourself!" "Hazel I don't hate you. I love you and you did what you though was best for our child. If that is not a motherly duty then I don't know what the hell is. Now take this necklace and say when we get out of here you will marry me," At first Hazel wasn't sure she had hear what she had heard. Then when she replayed it in her mind she started to cry tears of joy. "Yes Harry I will marry you when we get out of here. Oh god, I will marry you," she ignored the burning of her flesh as well and gave Harry a big hug. He kissed her hair and handed her the necklace. "I will get you a ring after we get out of here," he said. Hazel smiled and pulled away. Harry pulled away too but his hands were on the bars so long that they had burn marks where the bars were. Hazel put the necklace on and wiped the tears away.
The doors to the bedroom opened up and a tall figured walked in. "Miss. Holiday how can you marry someone else when you are to marry The Dark Lord?" asked Draco Malfoy with a smirk a crossed his face.
"You will what?" asked Sirius. Sirius hated Mercutio far more then he could ever hate Snape. Snape had not sent James and Lily to their death.
