I own Nothing except myself

Chapter 2

Lucius started walking towards the castle looming above Hogsmead. He sped up shortly after Nickole passed out. As he entered the grounds Severus came running towards him. "Do you have her Lucius?" he asked.

"Yes, Severus I have her." Lucius said breaking into a run. He soon reached Severus and then they both ran into the castle and up to the hospital wing.

Albus Dumbledore was waiting for them with a dementor. "Give me the Girl Lucius." Albus said. He signaled for the dementor to lower it's hood, after Lucius had given him Nickole, and kiss Nickole. While a normal person would have lost their soul for good Nickole glowed faintly, for a brief period of time. Her eyes opened showing the dark part of her soul seeping into the dementor.

Suddenly in a blinding white light the dementor was gone and Nickole was out cold again. "Albus what just happened?" Lucius asked regaining his composure.

"It would appear as though the dementors have no effect on her." Albus said leveling his wand at Nickole's prone body. "AVEDA..." Albus started but was interrupted.

"EXPELIAMUS!" Lucius and Severus both shouted at the same time sending Dumbledore to the floor and his wand into Lucius's hand.

"Really Severus what has gotten into you?" Albus asked standing up. "My wand if you please Mr. Malfoy." He added holding out his hand.

"No I don't trust you after the stunt with the dementor." Lucius said.

Severus nodded his head in agreement. "Albus I don't see why you won't give her a second chance. You gave Lucius and myself a second chance." Severus said looking at Nickole lying on the hospital bed Lucius had put her on.

"Can you not see what she is becoming and what she'll be?" Albus asked in astonishment.

"What I see, Albus, is a child who has been mistreated and led by the ball and chain down the same path as her father. She's just a child like Potter, Alisha, Tanya, Draco, and every other student in this school! She can't break the chain on her own. AND IF YOUCAN'T SEE THAT YOU'RE BLINDER THAN I THOUGHT!" Severus replied watching as it dawned on him what he had done and been doing since Nickole was first born.

"Perhaps you're right Severus, but she has to want to change I can't help her if she doesn't want to, but I'll try I should have tried all those years ago with Tom maybe if I had he wouldn't have turned out the way he did but I only saw him for another Slytherin with the potential to be the next dark lord." Albus said sitting in the chair by Harry's bed looking too much like his age. Severus sat between Tanya and Alisha, and Lucius, after giving Dumbledore his wand back, sat next to Nickole.

A few hours later Alisha and Tanya began to stir. When they Finally woke up Alisha went a mile a minute with questions "Where's Nicky? Is she ok? Is Harry ok? Will he be all right? Will Nicky be all right? Is she here? What happened and how did we get into the hospital wing? Why is Malfoy Sr. here? We're at Hogwarts right?"

"Calm down Miss Potter. Miss Riddle is here alive and well, she should wake up any time now. Lucius brought her here. We were kidnapped by Voldemort and managed to escape when we got to the castle you and Tanya passed out from exhaustion, Mr. Potter had passed out before we left due to Voldemort's torturing. Mr. Potter shall recover to full health and be discharged when Madam Pomfrey sees fit." Severus replied to Alisha dropping back into formalities with the Gryffindor.

"Father? What happened to Nickole? Why was she like that? I've never seen her act like that before." Tanya said thoughtfully.

"I truly don't know Tanya she may have just had enough or she may have been pushed too far and went into temporary insanity. Either way I don't think we have to worry about it happening again. Then again I could be wrong it may have just been that the evil from her father's life and her own tainted her soul I don't know for sure what happened Nickole never spoke to me about any thing." Severus replied to his daughter.

An: sorry but I had to shorten this chapter because I couldn't find a way to continue from where it had left off.
