While Harry and his friends were making there way down to breakfast, Ivy Bellenmore was deep in troubling thoughts. Harry's battle of wills had shaken up old memories that she would have rather been keep hidden. Sitting at her desk in the DADA classroom, Ivy took a long sip of her tea before a feminine voice spoke up from behind her.
"He almost didn't make it Ivy." Calmly putting her cup of tea on her desk, Ivy proceeded to turn and face her companion. The voice came from her mirror.
"But he did. That's all that matters." Came Ivy's monotone reply.
"Are you willing to risk his life again?" Asked the feminine voice once again.
"If that is what it takes, then so be it." A look of rage passed over the voice's face at Ivy's answer.
"Do you value life so little that would you risk his without another thought?" Demanded the voice as her anger got the better of her. With a defeated sigh Ivy spoke with a little more emotion in her voice.
"No, but I must do what is necessary. He must be prepared for his destiny."
Steeping out of Ivy's mirror came the owner of the voice. Her elegant evergreen dress flowed around her as she made her way towards the DADA teacher. Her guest reminded Ivy of a delicate red flower with her bright crimson hair and green dress. Ivy found it kind of ironic that the dress held a pattern of ivies that flowed up one side.
As she approached, Ivy could see the pain and understanding that filled her companions emerald green eyes. With one more step the figure now stood in front of Ivy. Raising a comforting hand, the figure placed it on the shoulder of her one time friend before speaking.
"I understand that, but he is still a child at heart. Be patient with him, help him." Anger took over as Ivy shoved the comforting hand away.
"Lily, don't patronize me! I know how to deal with youths."
"Maybe, but this is my son Ivy! Unless you are completely sure that this is the only way, I will not let you go through with your plan." As Lily uttered the word 'son' Ivy's anger seemed to fade as quickly as it had come.
"Bloody spirits! Why am I cursed with your presence?!"
"Just lucky I guess." Came Lily's sarcastic reply as she took the opportunity to kneel down next to Ivy.
"Oh go back to the afterlife!"
"Been there, done that."
"Great, a comedian. You've spent to much time with James for your own good." Giving a sigh of exasperation, Ivy continued. "Look Lily, Harry has everything going against him. Voldemort, that God forsaken prophesy, you and James dead, not to mention a vile and corrupt government in power, I didn't see any other way but to have him enter the Mirror Realm."
"Really now, was that so hard to say." At Ivy's glare she continued. "Ivy, I know things don't seem to be looking up, but Harry has come a long way in so little time. All the children have, so can you please answer one question for me?" At Ivy's nod Lily got a mischievous look in her eyes as she continued. "When are you and Sirius getting together?"
"What!?!? Lily I think you've spent way too much time with James."
"Oh come off it Ivy, I've know for a long time that you used to have a major crush on him." Getting up out of her chair Ivy approached Lily.
"Lily, never speak off that again. I have never and will never like dog breath in this lifetime or any other." Giving a little pout Lily became serious once more.
"Fine Ivy, if you say so." Standing up Lily gave a mournful look around the classroom. "It's true what they say. You don't know what you have until it's gone." As a tear ran down her face Lily started to fade out of reality.
"Lily!" Turning towards Ivy, Lily gave her a small sad smile.
"I can't stay any longer, I'm sorry. Remember, Ivy this is my son so please; protect him as best you can. Even in death you have been a good friend. Thank you."
"Lily, how can you say that? I've been anything but a friend." Lily just shook her head and gave her one last smile. As the last of Lily Potter faded into nothing Ivy Bellenmore cried for the first time since she was a child.
"Thank you for giving me one last chance to set things right Lily." Ivy turned to leave as Lily's voice spoke once more. "I believe in you." With a new determination, Ivy left the classroom to prepare for things to come.
"I won't fail you again... my friend." "Noting. Just great, any luck with you Padfoot?"
Just as Dumbledore had asked, Remus and Sirius were at the home of the deceased archaeologist.
"Nope, man this muggle really needed to get an organizer. I mean look at his notes, there all over the place!"
"I know. I – " Remus paused as he carefully pick up a large envelope. "Hello, what have we here?"
"A winning lotto ticket?" Inquired Sirius as he continued to look through papers.
"No you prat. I found the research notes we needed."
"So what does it say?"
"Not good. Oh. Shit."
"Let me see." Looking down at the papers then back up at Remus, Sirius could only copy his friend's own words. "Oh. Shit."
"You called my Lord?"
Voldemort smirked as one of his most loyal servants entered his chambers. She had lost so much and was willing to give up even more for his cause. As she came closer to Voldemort, the Dark Lord held out a vile to the Death Eater.
"Give this to Draco." Handing over the vile, Voldemort had a pleased smirk on his face. At her questioning look, Voldemort elaborated. "He knows what to do."
"Yes my Lord. Draco will be pleased to do your bidding, he will be a greater Death Eater then his father."
"Sssee that he isss. Should he fail Narcissssa, you will rue the day he wasss born." Said Voldemort as he hissed his 's' in a threatening way.
Bowing, Narcissa slowly left the presence of her Lord. Soon, all would bow before the Dark Lord. His ultimate weapon would soon be by his side and nothing, not even that muggle loving fool would be able to stop him.
Author's note: Chapter 15 already! I can see the end coming fast, about five more chapters, then maybe an epilogue.
Anyway, I know that this was a short chapter compared to the last one, but I couldn't think of much else to put in this one. Voldie's plan is up and running, will he get his ultimate weapon? What will happen to Harry? Just what is going on with Bellenmore? And will Sirius and Remus be able to warn Dumbledore in time? Find out all this and more in the next chapter - Ultimate Weapon

Chapter 15 – Understanding and Discovery
As he slowly came to, Harry noticed that he was once again in the hospital wing of Hogwarts. His thoughts were all jumbled. So many things had happened during his exam, many of them were things he would rather forget. Sitting up in his bed Harry let his thoughts wander to the exam.
'It couldn't have been her, could it? If she was there, then she saved me once again. I never got the chance to thank her.' Looking towards the window Harry let a small smile cross his face as he whispered words he had longed to say. "Mom, thank you."
"Ron! Harry! Thank goodness your all right." Harry just then noticed that there was someone in the bed next to his. His eyes widened in surprise to find Ron sitting up in his bed. Harry could tell he had just woken up because of Hermione's shouts of joy.
"Bloody hell Hermione! Can't someone sleep around here?" Asked Ron as he slowly got to his feet and made his way over to Harry's bed.
"Ron what happened, why were you in that bed?" Asked Harry. Ron was about to answer when Hermione beat him to it.
"This stupid prat got himself hurt during his exam." At Harry's questioning look Hermione continued. "You've be asleep for a good 24 hours Harry, don't expect life to be put on hold for you."
"Yeah especially when Bellenmore's involved." Added Ron with a frown.
"Well get dressed you two, Madam Pomfrey is letting you both go. I'll meet both of you in the great hall. Don't be late or you'll miss breakfast." Said Hermione as she waved to both of them. With a final glance Hermione had left the hospital wing.
"Best get dressed then," Said Ron.
"Yeah." Answered Harry with a sigh. 'Thanks again... mom.'
While Harry and his friends were making there way down to breakfast, Ivy Bellenmore was deep in troubling thoughts. Harry's battle of wills had shaken up old memories that she would have rather been keep hidden.
