Chapter 3 The Locket or your married to who?

"The locket it's here I don't know how it's possible but it is, you're my godson Harry Donovan Potter." The words echoed through the room bouncing off the walls and returning back slowly to Harry's ears.

"So what do we do now?" Said Harry in a surprisingly calm voice considering his world had just been flipped upside down.

"Now is where we hug, you tell me about everything that you've been up to these last few years, why you seem so surprised that I even exist because you know I really think that your parents should have had the decency to talk to you about the fifth marauder the person that almost single-handedly united the school in harmony and is it really too much to ask to have them once a year journey up here to make sure that I wasn't covered in cob webs, drowning in my own saliva, or being mauled to death by freakishly large mutant rats, and then we'll forget about the fact that a few minutes ago you were totally checking me out."

"I was not." Said Harry while blushing.

"Oh weren't you." Replied Sessy blatantly like a fox.

"Okay maybe a little. But in all fairness you weren't wearing a wedding ring and I didn't even know you existed until a few moments ago." Hearing a coughing sound he looks down and sees what can only be a wedding ring. It was quite beautiful actually in the center was a stone that was every color of the rainbow with combinations of red, blue, and green, surrounding it were three other stones one the color of fire, another deep blue, and the last green. Now if Harry had been a connoisseur in subjects other then food, Draco Malfoy and quidditch then he would have known that the center stone was tourmaline. Tourmaline was said to encourage artistic intuition, its many faces expressing every mood. The fire gem was opal. Some believed opals give their owners the gift of prophecy. Others consider the stone a fitting symbol of hope, innocence and purity. The deep blue was aquamarine. Some believe aquamarine to help the wearer conquer wickedness, and to have magical power to convey insight and foresight and it symbolizes happiness and everlasting youth. Finally the green stone was garnet, which is a symbol of friendship, love and devotion. "Well you weren't wearing it before," Harry said really embarrassed. "You said something about a locket earlier what is it and how come I haven't ever seen it."

"Magic, my dear Donnie, magic especially my magic can make your wildest dreams come true. Whoa that totally sounded like some sideshow circus act spiel just call me ringmaster. So any way your locket and my ring are protected by my magic to protect me, only the people I view as trustworthy can see them and as an extra precaution you can only talk about the locket to people that know about the locket's existence. Don't you think that's ingenious and it's beautiful too. We gave it too you on your first birthday; the locket was created to protect you. It was created from the best of our magic so that even if we are not with you, you will always be protected and know our love. It involves the four elements earth, wind, fire, and air when activated one of the four elements will protect you. Also written inside the locket is an important message. The locket won't open until you are ready for its lessons. Only after you have learned the message of the locket will you be able to defeat Voldemort. Whoa that sounded way too preachy." She lifted the locket from his neck, "See look at it isn't it beautiful we worked so hard on it. Virtually indestructible that is real gold from the ends of the universe frozen solid by dragon's breath and mermaid's kisses, the chain is woven unicorn and veela hair and for a little extra luck it was dipped in phoenix tears and blessed by the holy order of the Emancipation of the Sphinx. But what's this Harry, your locket it's been marked by a lightning bolt but know it can't be the only reason that would be there if one of the four elements had been activated and the only way to activate it is self sacrifice…? But then it would have left the mark on you and we can see that that didn't happen."

He moved the hair on his forehead out of the way and showed her his lightning shaped scar.

"No! They couldn't have could they…?"

"I'm sorry. I don't really know how to tell you this but my parents have been dead for about fifteen years. I don't really remember anything about them or anything about you. I don't even think that anyone else remembers you because I really think that someone would have mentioned that I have a godmother."

While he was telling her she slowly laid down her head and began to cry.

"This is just terrible!" she sobbed. "It was that rat wasn't it? I'm afraid it's my fault their dead, Harry. I was only meant to be asleep for a day a week tops. I wanted to sleep to dream about my future but apparently everything went wrong. I slept and slept and everyone forgot about me. They all forgot and everything I ever accomplished was forgotten. I'm so sorry I was young and in love. I was so young and had just married the one I'd been searching for, for thousands of years. Do you know what it's like to hold the one you love dying in your arms and to search for them for almost an eternity. I didn't want to lose him not again. I just thought that if I could sleep then I could dream then I would know how to save him. But they all forgot me; they forgot that I had warned them. Did you know that every person has one defining moment of their lives and that one moment marks their auras? And if you turn your head just at the right way at the exact time then you can read their future. However this only works upon first meeting the person because anytime after that the aura becomes muddled by your expectations of that person. I knew from the first moment I saw him that one day he would soon occupy the ninth circle of hell, that one day he would betray and kill them. I'm so sorry but I really need to think. I'm just so shocked. Have you ever had a dream that was just so dreadful and so foreboding that you would rather have your heart just stop beating then experience one more second of that nightmare. But when all is said and done a dream is just a dream and eventually you wake up and everything is all right again and you move on with your daily life. But what if your dream wasn't just a dream and when you opened your eyes everything wasn't back to normal, and you weren't quite sure what reality was. Furthermore you discover that everything you dreamed actually happened and that it was all your fault. This is my hell that I have created. But now I have to go find my husband and get down to the bottom of why things happened the way they did."

"But wait when will I see you again?" asked Harry.

"I'm sure you will see me in a few days." As she was saying she slowly began to disappear much like the way of the Cheshire cat. But before her mouth and eyes disappeared Harry managed to ask her,

"Who is your husband?"

"Severus Snape." She gave one last wink before disappearing.

"Snape?" Harry said incredulously, "Well that was certainly unexpected."

A.N.: The descriptions of the gemstones come from this great website http / www . mystic games. com/ gems. htm (remove the spaces) I encourage you all to check it out. I don't own the ninth circle of hell. I believe that is from Dante's Inferno. I don't own the Cheshire Cat that is owned by Lewis Carroll. This is the last of my already written chapters but I'm about ¾ done with the fourth chapter so that should be up either tomorrow or within a few days. Love it? Hate it? Please let me know how this story is going in a review. No flames please, but constructive criticism is accepted.

Responses to reviewers:

To westkitsune: Yep this will definitely turn out to be a Harry/Draco story. In fact next chapter there is a lot of Harry being in denial about his feelings. Thanks for the review and for putting me on your author's alert list.

To Bergit: Thanks for the review. Thanks for explaining the rules about grammer. I really suck at using commas. But believe me I'm a lot better then when I first started writing. I hope I improve more in the future.

To Gi Xian: Don't worry I hope that it will make more sense later. I plan to have everything explained as the story moves on. Thanks for the review and for putting me on your author's alert list.
