Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER.
This is not beated. Sorry but I wanted to get this chapter up.
This chapter has some small slash! If you don't like it don't read it.
The old riddle manor smelled of rotten tapestries and human flesh. The old manor at one time held beauty now it just held death for any muggle. The infamous and scariest wizard as they believed lived here; even the Ministry gave excuses not to visit the run down manor. The trees that covered the battered land looked death with dark birds in the trees. The missing and broken windows gave it a haunted look from Hades Empire.
Hermione looked at her husband with fear. The thought of meeting the Dark Lord didn't scare her it was meeting the Dark Lord that scared her. She held her head high as she held on Lucius' arm. She refused to break down in fear in front of the Dark Lord Voldemort. She looked up at the moon and then the house as she took in the surrounding lands of the Riddle Manor.
The old doors creaked open to reveal a rat eaten rug that held years of dirt and mold. The smells hit Hermione's nose and she lost her stomach as she step put side and regained her self.
Peter Pettigrew walked to the door and laughed, "d-d-does the D-D-ark Lord scare u that m-much." The short bald man stuttered and moved his silver hand. When he looked at Lucius he coward. "Mr. Malfoy, the Dark Lord is most happy w-w-with you."
The man just nodded.
Hermione cleaned her mouth and turned her wand towards him. "You filthy rat. I should have brought my cat. Then he would love to kill the rat who wanted his friend dead." Hermione walked closer. "Give me one reason why I should not kill you? Make it quick I want to get home."
The man remained in one place.
"Lucius," a man moved from the shadows, "you brought your mudblood bride. She is ripping with my heir I take it."
Hermione noticed the red eyes that never looked human and the snakeskin that started to cover his body. The man looked weak and helpless and more animal than human. His forked gray tongue moved in and out of his straight mouth. "She is Harry Potter's friend and my enemy but you charmed her into my joining growing army," He moved closer and placed his hand on her growing child. "How, my carrier of my heir, did he charm the infamous mudblood witch into my powerful growing army that will defeat the old Dumbledore of Hogwarts. You know I hate muggles and mudbloods. "
She placed her hand on his and bowed. "I know who is the true leader of the wizarding world and I knew that Dumbledore would never possess the power you have my Lord and with me on your side I can give you Harry Potter and the whole school if you wish. I just don't want to die." She looked into his eyes as she pushed other memories for him to read. "I want to be your servant."
The man pulled away and smirked. "You are a mudblood but you want to join my army of purebloods." He flicked his tongue. "I shall not mark you my child. You will not fight during the battles. I will call you and your husband when I wish to see the progress of my child. You may go." He turned towards Hermione and laughed, "don't let me down and you can have your freedom when I chose."
He walked back into the shadows as Peter followed him.
Hermione clung to her child as she looked at Lucius. He wanted to reach out and bring her into his arms and make her happy again. He brought her into a world of darkness and now he can't get her out with out the Dark Lord dying. Lucius had respect for his wife but his feeling grew stronger for his wife everyday and fought the feeling of being in love.
Remus watched Ginny as she nursed John. She looked so beautiful with her long hair as it hung down at her side. The half moon gave her a nighttime beauty, the Weasley family frowned on the thought of Ginny marrying a werewolf and their dreams came true. A werewolf and a witch can never have children or marry. Harry stepped up to the plate and claimed the children to be his. He promised Remus and Ginny that their marriage would take place because he was going to change the law and place a new law allowing werewolves to carry jobs and have a family.
Remus picked up his little girl and smiled as he looked into her eyes. His little miracle was his; his love birthed the twins that he helped conceive. "Thank you Ginny." He walked up by his love. "You gave me a gift that I can't repay. You gave me…"
She reached out and touched his arm; "we gave each other the gifts. I love you Remus J. Lupin. The werewolf that loved me." She laughed and looked into his eyes and smiled at the man who stole her heart. She did not know if they would win the battle all she knew was that she loved her werewolf and she wanted them to live and watch her children grow and marry.
Voldemort walked into the middle of the dark clad circle and watched his men with his red snake slanted eyes. All feared him some even worse than Peter other's held his respect like Severus and Lucius but showed no fear. His men were seasoned warriors that stood in first circle. The only man who didn't stand present was Lucius Malfoy. Lucius stayed home with his wife and waited for his power to come to him.
"We are about to go to war." Voldemort turned, "and I want Harry Potter brought to me tonight!" He screamed. "The battle is ready we are taking Hogsmade to night and soon Hogwarts will be mine. Now go a ready your selves for battle we fight to night."
Voldemort sneered and disappeared but before he did, "I want Auresa Aquile dead. That bird is a pain in my side."
Severus stepped into the Headmaster's office and looked at the old man who knew the battle that loomed in the horizon. Albus looked his age any more and he showed more signs of dying that he did before. "He called a battle. He plans in attacking Hogsmade tonight before dawn. We will know when the battle begins."
Albus stood up. "Call the Order. We must prepare and wait for the first curse to fly. I will inform Hermione, Lucius, Draco and Pansy. Send out the alarm." Albus walked to the fireplace and disappeared into the green flames.
Hermione watched Lucius as he sipped his fine red wine. He looked so calm and collective as he watched the orange flames turn to a green and Albus walked out. "Um…I knew you would come." Lucius stood up.
Albus looked at Hermione and frowned. "We have a battle at Hogsmade tonight and we need our look out bird. Hermione hurry."
Hermione bit her lip as she looked at Albus then at her husband before she turned into the beautiful bird. Her feathers shinned in the dim light as she turned her large eyes to her husband. She waited for the harsh words but she only got a simple nod. She knew that he knew the truth of her job.
"Hermione be careful the Death Eaters want you dead. They want your secrets and most of all they want to know whom the Auresa Aquile is." He walked up to her and smiled. "Please be careful." He kissed her head and watched her go into the fire with Albus. She nodded and disappeared.
Albus walked out of his fireplace. All the members including the werewolf. They waited for the battle they knew this was not the one they just wanted to set the numbers straight with this battle.
Lucius watched the flames go back to normal. When he reached out to touch the flames he felt his body turn and spin as the amber fire licked his body. As the fire climbed up his body he closed his eyes and welcomed the power of the fire.
Hermione flew over the battlefield and watched as Harry walked closer to the cliff's edge. He fought so bravely against the Death Eaters that out numbered him. Hermione turned her attention to Ron and Draco who now threw simple spells at each other by the raging river.
The Death Eaters easy out number the light three to one yet the dark men and woman fell to the ground in larger numbers.
Hermione loved the way the wind filled her wings as she flew towards Harry and she never saw the Curse that hit her left wing. She controlled the wind to carry her towards Albus as the darkness claimed her and she turned into her human form.
Ron threw the ticking spell at Draco as he walked closer to the water's edge. He loved the way Draco's hair moved when he laughed. Ron never saw the water before it was too late. Draco fell into the watery surface. Ron fell down to his knees and cried he never told Draco of his love.
Hermione remained motionless on the plain white sheets. He wild hair fell around her shoulders. Lucius walked up to his wife with. She had a little chance to make it and their son held a smaller chance. Lucius placed her cold right hand into his as he cried into her hand he whispered. "I love you Hermione."
Lucius no longer cared about whom saw him he just wanted his wife to live and make him happy again. He missed the way she smiled before they married. He loved the way she gave her self up willing on their wedding night. She gave her self up with out fear she trusted him when he never trusted himself. She loved the child that she never wanted in the beginning and he hoped that she loved him, as much he loved her. He never wanted to her be sad again. "I never loved my first wife I respected her…she told me that I would fine love in the place me and her met and she was right. I love you. When I saw you in the bed my heart stopped and I feared for the worse but I know you better. You are my other half the half that I closed away from the world years ago.
Albus stood at the doorway and smiled knowing that the war was going to end just fine.
Draco opened his eyes and saw the four large trees the stood in front of him. He knew this place and he laughed this was not heaven or hell. He walked to the Great White Castle. He knew his fate from his dreams.
Harry knew his fate and he welcomed the fall that doomed his fate as he stepped to the edge. Even with him fighting the Death Eaters, he knew his chances and his fate. He narrowed as he threw more spells he had to fight for his friends and lover that he wanted to marry. He watched his world spin out of control to many times and he refused to die until all of his family were safe form the darkness that haunted the world. Harry felt his footing as he fell to the ground below. He waited for the impact that never came.
Draco looked at the beautiful woman that wore nothing but a virginal white dress. Her black hair fell down her back in a perfect wave and her blues eyes caught his. "You my son don't know your place. You know that you will never be the man that your father is and you accepted it. You have a secret that few know of and you love a man that you don't know if he loves you." She pushed his stray bang out of his eyes. "You always loved the ocean that you watched every chance you got and the lakes and rivers flowed though your veins. You my child hold the gift of water." She walked over picked the bright blue one that matched her eyes.
"Who are you? You are not my Mother." He stepped away from her.
She walked closer with the blue globe and laughed an innocent laugh. "Ever man, woman, and child is my children along with the creatures of the earth. I am Mother Nature. You were chosen to control the power of water. You stepmother holds the power of wind, your father holds the power of fire, Albus holds that power of love, Harry hold the power of earth and you hold the power of water."
Draco walked into the wall and froze. He had no place to go. "What are you going to do with that globe?"
She smiled, "hold out your hands."
He held his hands out.
She placed the globe in his hands.
The cold water opened his eyes as Draco walked to the one man who he loved.
Draco walked out of the raging river as it calmed. He found Ron crying and screaming his name and saying how much he loved Draco. Draco couldn't believe his eyes. The one person that he never dreamed of loved him. He caught his crying face and looked into the redhead's brown eyes and smiled. "Don't cry I am still alive." He brought his lips to his. He pulled away and watched Harry as he fell from the cliff. "We have to get the Order back to Hogwarts now. Start ending out the signal fast."
Draco pulled away and ran into the battle sending the alarm out for retreat.
Harry looked at the four great trees. The young crash tickled his boots. The White castle made him wonder as he walked closer to his fate. The once blue shy now held a gray over cast with building clouds but Harry walked on to his wonder.
The Order watched in silence as the last warriors walked into Hogwarts. Some looked battered others looked tired. Albus noticed that no warriors fell to the curses that Voldemort's men threw out. They looked ready for the second part of the battle. Albus watched Draco as he sat next to Ron. Hermione stayed in the hospital wing with Lucius by her side they waited for Harry to return from his visit with Mother Nature. "There is a change in the plans..."
Molly frowned when Albus told her of the ancient prophet and she knew what she said to Hermione a few hours ago. She doomed the poor girls when she already started to love her husband's enemy. She never noticed the way she looked at him with trust when Lucius told her that she would meet the Dark Lord tonight.
Molly pulled her body from the table and gave one look at Albus and nodded she had to tell Hermione that she loved her like a daughter. Molly never wanted any thing to happen to the woman she watched grow up. She always hoped that she would marry Ron but that never happed like she planned.
Harry looked at the woman who stood in font of him she looked tired and worn. "Mother Nature you are getting weaker." She smiled.
"Yes my son I am getting tired. Voldemort is fighting with my child and he brings such sorrow to my heart knowing that he stole what was not his. His magic is strong he stole powers from me long ago. Unlike the five chosen ones he has all the power earth, wind, water, fire but one. He never understood the power of love that is where you have the advantage over him. You must hold on to love. Harry the night he killed your parents I knew that love was his weakness and you must love to kill him. The five of you must stand together and fight your battle Harry. She walked over and picked up the last glowing globe and smiled, "Your time of freedom is closing."
Harry placed his hands out in front of him as she placed the ball in his hands and his world started to spin as she landed near Pansy. She paced waiting for Harry to return.
I am so sorry about the long wait and I am very sorry but things got crazy and I hope to have a chapter soon.
