Epilogue
Helga hit the entrance floor hard. She slowly and painfully moved her body so she could find Rowena. She saw her lying on the floor next to her. Rowena looked like she was asleep. Helga tried to wake her but knew it was no use. She had literally killed herself but using up all her power. Helga pulled herself to her feet. She almost fell back down but someone caught her. It was Jeffery.
"Did it work?" He asked quickly. Helga nodded her head slowly to tell him yes. "I'm so sorry," he whispered as he saw Rowena. He could feel tears splashing onto his robes from Helga's eyes.
"I have to go home," Helga whispered.
Slowly she walked through the gardens that were part of her castle. It was goodto finally be home but she knew thatit wouldn't last. She also knew that she didn't have long before she finally found peace. It was close to the end of summer and she should have been at Hogwarts, helping to prepare for the new school year. Too many things had happened there though. Now she could never return.
The past month had brought her pain that could never be healed. She had stopped her lover from destroying the world. She had used up so much of her power she was dying and she knew she didn't have long. She knew that he was dying too. . .maybe not in the same way she was though. She had locked him up in a stone to keep him from destroying the world. She was the only founder left and she knew there were many who wanted her dead. In fact she saw her enter the clearing then.
Her hair was like it was the last time she has seen it and sweat was pouring down her body. She could see her sharp white fangs from beneath her twisted smile. She raised a wand toward Helga.
"Avada Kedavra!" The woman shrieked. She watched as Helga fell of the ground dead. She had achieved her master's revenge.
And thus began the legacy of the founders. . .one that was so great the magical world still passes on through generation to generation.
