Heiress Voldemort no more

It was two whole weeks before Voldemort clocked what was happening. Dumbledore's sudden escape was what had given him a clue but when the Daily Prophet began writing about various students escape stories, he began to realise that his heiress was taking him for a fool. With the help of loyal JED's and the re-united Dumbledore's Army, there was only the Hospital Wing left to evacuate.

Siobhan was now struggling to keep the Hogwarts wards and her own wards up, with Voldemort trying to break through the Hogwarts ones and the Order trying to break through her own. She hadn't slept well in ages but she was surviving. At the moment, the only people left with her was Dumbledore's Army and the few JED who hadn't left when they had the chance. Her father had chosen to stay with her because of Emily but she was going to send him away.

"Dad, I need you to go. Take Emily with you and get as far away as you can. I'm sure Dumbledore will shelter you until this is all over," Siobhan said to Snape as she entered his quarters were he sat watching Emily as she played with her building blocks. He looked up surprised but understanding at the same time. He knew how she must be feeling but he couldn't leave her here without even trying to persuade her to let him stay.

"I'm not leaving you alone. There are many Aurors out there who want you dead. Even with your power, you can't hold back more than a dozen of them," Snape protested. Siobhan sat down next to him and thought of a way she'd get him to understand.

"They are going to take Emily away from me, but they have no right to take her away from you. I don't want her to get hurt and I certainly don't want her to see the monster her mum is."

"You're no monster. Not many people would do what you are doing now. Families will thank you for letting their children go, safe and unharmed. A lot of people will back you up."

"That's not the point. I want you and Emily safe and away from here. If I die tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, I know that she's in good hands."

Snape stared into his daughter's determined eyes and knew he couldn't argue. He would pack as much of his and Emily's stuff and leave with the next to leave. Tomorrow morning would be the last chance for everyone to leave. After they were safely out of Hogwarts, Siobhan would let go of her wards. Any longer and she would let go of both the wards resulting in Voldemort being able to take the school as well. No, Siobhan was right. He and Emily had to leave.

Siobhan sat on the roof looking out to around her. In the distance she could see where the Ministry had set up camp, ready to ambush her when she slipped up for just one minute but she could also see the outline of the various mountains and hills that surrounded Hogwarts. To think that only a few months ago, she had believed she could come to Hogwarts and lad a normal life.

Tomorrow was going to be tough day, she could sense it. Not only would she be worried if Snape and Emily were safe, she'd also be trying to fight off the Order or whichever Aurors decided they were there to bring her down. A cold late Autumn wind whipped her face and she found herself shivering. Her robes were appropriating to seem menacing but not to bear the cold. She jumped slightly as Harry spoke to her. She hadn't noticed he was there.

"Are you alright?" he asked settling down next to her. She tried to voice her feelings but instead found that she was crying. She hadn't cried in awhile now and it felt good to let out some of her grief. Harry didn't know what to do. They were meant to be sworn enemies but over the past two weeks, the way he had watched Siobhan risk everything to save people's lives and the way they had all worked together, the feelings he had had for her when they had first met were coming back.

"Hold me Harry. I need someone to hold me," Siobhan answered. She was feeling so lonely at the moment. Although Hermione's trust in her had began to return, it would never be like before. She needed a friend but also something else. She needed Harry. Pushing away all the doubt he had in Siobhan, he held her close. In fact, he did more than hold her close. He kissed her and this time, Siobhan didn't pull away. She was ready.

As the morning rays hit Siobhan's face the following morning, she rolled over sleepily into Harry's arms. He too was awake and proceeded and placing a kiss on her forehead before getting out of bed. Last night came flooding back and although Siobhan didn't regret it, she knew it hadn't been a good idea. She could have let her guard down for all she knew and either Voldemort or Aurors could be waiting for her.

As they got ready, both Harry and Siobhan were coming to the same conclusions. Perhaps it hadn't been a good idea. And they hadn't used any protection. They had just gone with the moment. With everything that had happened a few hours of pleasure had seemed like nothing. Before going their separate ways -Harry leading the last few out of Hogwarts and Siobhan to the Great Hall where she would fight- they shared one last kiss.

"Take care of yourself. If anything goes wrong, don't blame yourself but please just look out for Emily," Siobhan said as she hugged him tightly. He hugged her just as tightly before letting her go and placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Don't worry. Nothing is going to go wrong. Just promise me you won't get too hurt. After what you've done, they're bound to go easy on you. I'll make sure of it," Harry answered. Siobhan nodded. She was sure the next time she saw him, she was going to be on trial.

The Aurors were quite surprised as they burst through the Great Hall doors to find only Siobhan sitting there in her blood red cloak, red eyes glaring from the darkness of the hood. For a moment they were stunned but an Auror who had seen it all hobbled forward. Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody was rarely afraid of anything and Siobhan was no exception. As he began to approach Siobhan, she got up and walked down until she was level with him. He stopped putting roughly five metres between them.

"I knew you were nothing but scum the minute I laid eyes on you. It's time I took you down," he said wand ready for anything that Siobhan may throw at him. Siobhan laughed at the man in front of her. He would never be able to take her down single-handedly but with his team, he probably could.

"Not before I take out another chunk in that nose of yours."

With that, was the start of a long fight and the odds didn't look too well for Siobhan.
