7.The heiress of Ravenclaw
Nil was almost the last one to arrive at the Bringers headquarters, but luckily two other people arrived after her.
"Well, my fellow Bringers, we got wind of a pure blood wizard who got together with a... mudblood, someone from the scum of the humanity, that's why we are gathered here, to clean the earth from that traitor and his dirt whore." Said Deacon Frostheart, looking around the room full of wizards and witches cloaked in white with their faces covered by the hood of their robes.
Cheers erupted from every mouth in the room and Nil, knowing better also cheered while thinking:
#I hope the guys are hearing this and they have time to send some wizards to stop the Bringers. Please, someone, ask who is the poor victim, I can't do that.#
And as if some deity was hearing her plea, Peter Pettigrew asked:
"Who will we be showing what is the meaning of being a pure blood?"
"Severus Snape and his little mudblood whore, Hermione Snape." Deacon answered with a smirk on his lips.
Peter the turned to Nil and, smirking, said:
"He was the Head of your house, wasn't he, Bluenile? What a shame isn't it? And to think that you were taught by him."
"Indeed, Peter. Mixing with mudbloods, what a shame. If he was still a student I could understand, with you and that Marauders brats, muggle lovers picking up on him, it could be a form of rebellion, but now? I myself feel ashamed to say that that slimy bastard was my teacher and Head of Slytherin house. Honestly, he should know better." Answered Nil spitefully.
Peter then, shut up and didn't say anything else for the rest of the meeting, but it was a pity that Nil couldn't see his face, or else, she could have seen the hatred and the will to destroy her in his eyes.
"Let's go now my fellows, we will be aparating on the backyards of that rat's nest they have the audacity to call house. No one should attack while the others don't arrive. We will enter all in once. They won't even know what happened to them.
And then, they disaparated to Snape's house.
~~~~~~~Brotherhood headquarters~~~~~~~~~~
After Nil had gone, Lucius saw that Tom and Harry had just came in. He leapt from the couch and heading to the door, said:
"Tom, leave Potter with Christa and go warn the others that the Bringers called Nil, I need to talk with the elders." And with that he was out of the room.
"Wha... wait, Lucius. Oh crap!" Tom then turned to Harry. "Well, let's go Potter, seems that there is havoc coming." And then, he waved his hand and turned to the door.
He opened the door and found Christa coming.
"What do you mean with that? You told me that my questions would be answered." Harry said stubbornly
"Look, Potter, there is no time for that, people's lives are in danger, so, get your lazy ass moving." Tom said turning around and grabbing him by his arm he started to drag him towards the door.
"Christa, take Potter to the Monitor Room and any questions he asks you, you may answer, I already should be there myself." Tom said sounding commanding and with that he strode past the two and aparated to the 'Monitor Room'.
"What is that 'Monitor Room', Christa?" Harry asked following her and rubbing his arm.
"It is the room where all the members of the Brotherhood who are out of the Headquarters are monitored. For example, Nil is with the Bringers now, so the Brotherhood may follow their steps without suspicion and if they attack someone, the Brotherhood will be there in seconds, also, the members of the Brotherhood who do field job, like spying, have some items that allow us to see and hear anything the spy is seeing and/or hearing and everything is connected to the Monitor Room." Christa answered walking fast.
"Oh. So, it is a way for you to go helps the others quickly." Harry replied following her.
"Yeah, so, rarely, really rarely any lives are lost." Christa answered looking at Harry.
"What do you think that is happening for Riddle to act so desperately?"
"I wish I knew, Harry, but whatever it is, it is something really big. He never hurries like this if something big isn't happening." Christa answered worriedly. "Well, Harry, here we are".
"How do we get here so quickly?" Harry asked looking around the big room. It was really big, they were on a platform and down that platform, there were many wizards and witches looking at panels of all sizes. The wizards were in a kind of dome and each dome had its own panel and wizard or witch and the place was a complete buzz. Tom was already there and they arrived just in time to hear Tom ask one of the wizards in one of the domes:
"Where will be the attack, Julian?"
"Severus Snape house, a massive one, at least fifteen Bringers and we can't send anyone."
#Hermione# was all Harry had time to think before someone shouted to Tom.
"Attack at Morgan LeFay, Diagon Alley, twenty Bringers, seems they want the heir of Merlin."
#Draco, no, please, no, don't let anything happen to him. #
"Fuck, send a squad, Linda, I'll find Lucius, he will go anyway, so, I want that squad there yesterday." And with that he rushed out of the room but before that, he shouted at Christa. "Don't move a muscle out of the Headquarters, Christa."
The Morgan LeFay was the building where Draco and Harry lived and an attack there meant that Draco's life was in great danger; so, Harry's sacrifice was, in his thought, in vain.
Harry noticed that Christa was paralyzed and he asked her why.
"They were never so active, Harry, two attacks and one of them they know the place is being monitored by the Brotherhood, it seems a trap." She answered looking at him.
~~~~~~~~The Council of Elders room ~~~~~~
"Lucius Malfoy, what may I do for you?" Asked one of the elders kindly.
"Aberforth, it is my son. He is pregnant. What should we do?" Lucius asked the man, the only elder in the room at that moment.
"Pregnant, hum... well, bring him here. I'm sure he will like here more than Malfoy Manor." Aberforth answered Lucius with twinkling blue eyes, stroking his long silvery beard.
"You know sir, with all due respect, you look like a copy of Albus Dumbledore" Lucius said chuckling
"Well, he is my brother, isn't he? It would be strange if we were completely different at this age; besides, I guess that all old men tend to look like each other at some age. Now it would better for you to go, as the grandfather of your fiancé has an important message for you. And don't worry about your future father-in-law, I'll tell him that possibly neither you nor Nil will be able to attend the dinner with him."
Lucius looked puzzled for a moment before nodding and leaving the room. As soon as he closed the door, Tom came running towards him and said breathlessly:
"Lucius, quick, there is a Bringers attack at your son's place, I already sent a squad there, but they need someone to rescue Draco from there."
Lucius looked at the door and then back at Tom and nodding he took a necklace with a white unicorn pendant out of his robes and, activating the necklace, disaparated to Draco's place.
Aberforth, then, opened the door and, seeing Tom there, motioned for him to enter:
"Tom. Good to see you here. I have some things to discuss with you. Please, come in, have a seat."
"Thank you Aberforth." Tom answered following Aberforth to one of the Elders' room. There was a table and three chairs on the room, one behind the table and the other two facing the first one. There was also many bookshelves and many books, among with other objects. "What is that you want to discuss with me?"
"Well, Tom, seems that the Bringers are close to reach their goal for the next five centuries, so, I talked with the other five elders and they agreed to bring the Order of Phoenix and the heirs here before something happens. You saw today's events. What is your conclusion?"
"I was thinking the same thing; bring them here and, maybe, give them the same training we give to anyone who enters the Brotherhood." Tom answered looking down. "I know how hard it was to keep them alive and pretend I wanted all of them dead, I don't want them to die, many of them have family and only now they have the chance to live freely."
"Exactly, Tom, but you are not the only one who doesn't want them dead, no one here wants them to die. You already know how it feels to be controlled by the Bringers, you are the best to explain everything to them when they arrive."
"Yes, I remember perfectly well; it still gives me nightmares, to remember that energy running through my veins, the energy of hate for everything, for everyone. I was just able to get free of that when Yasmin said she wanted to follow me to whatever was my end. I don't want anyone to feel what I felt at their hands."
"That is why we must be quick. They put the energy of hate in anyone's heart and then, they invite the person to join them and there, the hate for other living forms only increases, but to do the same thing that Yasmin did with you with every member of the Bringers wouldn't work; their hate is spread faster than fire in dry straw and it would take too long to make each one of them fall in love with someone. That is why we need the heirs to finish the energy-master that rules over their hearts. I'll call Yasmin, Kamilly, and all the others to help with the training, but you know that your granddaughter is the one who must train the heirs."
"I understand perfectly well, now I must go."
"Very well, Tom. And, Tom, don't forget to tell Harry and the others about the ones who changed sides. Or it will be harder to make the Order trust us."
"I will." And with that, Tom exited the room.
After Tom exited the room, Aberforth used the floo powder to talk with his brother, Albus Dumbledore. He needed to talk to him about the Bringers. Luckly, he could get the Order of Phoenix's help.
~~~~~~~~Snape Manor~~~~~~
"Sev, I'm going to Diagon Alle..." Hermione stopped in the middle of the phrase with a bad feeling. For pure instinct, she grabbed her wand and entered the living room on the main floor. Severus was reading and she relaxed when he turned to her.
"What is it, dear?" Severus asked her and put her hands in his.
"I am going to..."
"Shh." Severus interrupted her and stood up. "Get your wand and don't say a thing, and, be ready for anything. I don't like the feeling of this."
Hermione did as he told her and together they exited the room just in time to see a large shadow run on top of the stairs. Severus motioned for her to get out of the house while he was going to see what was that shadow.
"If I don't answer you in two minutes, you must get out of here, okay, dear." He whispered.
"Sev, I think we are just overreacting." She whispered back.
"I hope we are dear, but it is just two days since Voldemort's defeat, there are still Death Eaters out there who want revenge. Now, go." He whispered to her and gave her a quick kiss on her lips.
"Great Peter, he saw you, couldn't you be a little less careful and shout to him that we are here, maybe he would have paid less attention to you." Hissed Nil.
"Shut up, Bluenile, what is done is done, we are the only ones inside the house. Frostheart told us to finish those two while they entered the house and made the siege, in case anything goes wrong. Let's see now if it will be needed." Pettigrew hissed back.
"Don't worry, Pete, nothing will go wrong, I assure you." And with that last comment, Nil jumped to the main floor, behind Snape.
He turned around but didn't have time to cast any spell as, as soon as he was facing the stranger, the stranger shouted:
"Crucix!" although no one heard the stranger whisper 'Parecis' before shouting the curse.
Hermione watched in horror her husband screaming in pain on the floor and, suddenly, anger was cursing through her veins. With a boost of power, the stranger, that was Nil, was thrown at the wall and was knocked out, other figures stepped out of the shadows but they were all either thrown to the wall or were thrown to the floor, screaming, Peter, stepping out of his hiding place tried to throw a curse at her just to have it thrown back at him, he had time to duck from it and then, as soon as the house started to shake he heard the call to retreat. He left the others there, there was no point in trying to save them, if they were not already crazy, they would end up dead when the house went down and so, he fled with the other members of the Bringers. But he was happy.
#Finally I got rid of you Bluenile, now, no one can stop me. #
~~~~~~Brotherhood headquarters, during the attack~~~~~~~~
"The heiress of Ravenclaw has shown herself" a wizard shouted.
Tom, that had come back to the Monitor Room a few minutes ago, asked:
"Who is she?"
"Hermione Snape."
"Hermione Snape, of course. It was so obvious: 'Shall the winds of wisdom meet a safe harbor For this child shall not find the sought acceptance for many years And when it is found, shall pass trough many prejudices But in the end they shall be together If the path is guided by others', I wonder why we never saw this before." Replied Tom thoughtfully.
"There is a problem here Tom." The same wizard shouted.
"What is it?"
"The house came down."
"What?!" this time, Tom's shout drew everyone's attention.
"The house came down, Nil and the heiress are still alive along with many others but I don't know for how long."
"Send the Potters and the Blueniles immediately, we can't loose them."
Tom then turned to the two people in front of him.
#Damn, Nil, why didn't you listen to Lucius?# he thought sadly angry.
"Riddle, what was that thing you recited?" asked Harry, now a bit calmer, after seeing their efforts to take care of two attacks at the same time.
"Tom, I'll warn the elders about what happened, okay?" Christa said looking at Tom.
"Okay Christa, and come back if you have any news"
Christa nodded and got out of the room.
"It was the last part of the prophecy." Tom answered looking at Harry.
"The prophecy? You mean, the same that Trelawney did?"
"Yeah, it is the same, what Dumbledore heard was just a part of it. Usually, great prophecies are made by various people, in many parts of the world and in many languages."
"So, if that prophecy that I heard, that you... tried to get from the Ministry and that caused... Sirius death, wasn't the entire prophecy, what is the entire one?" Harry asked angrily.
"Sirius Black is not dead, he was brought back to life through a very dangerous and a very powerful ritual, so you don't need to be so angry." Tom answered looking around the room and then, he led Harry to one of the few couches that were in the room, near the door. After they were seated, across from each other, Tom looked at him deep in the eye and recited the entire prophecy for him:
" 'When darkness shall fall
Upon the heart of the serpent
Only the blood of darkness
May bring light to the life of the snake
The bearer of darkness may not fail
For upon her shoulders lay the fate of the world
For when the mother of darkness
Shall be united with the bearer of the blood of light
She shall give birth to one of the Great Powers
For her heart carries the waters of forgiveness
.
And when the stars align
The heir of a great mind of darkness shall be born
This child shall seek for acceptance
This mind shall not be rejected
But the acceptance will be only found
In the arms of the bearer of the blood of fire
A great decision lays ahead this mind
For the decision for the light or darkness
The world will affect
May this child choose the light for good
For upon this union the heir of fire shall be born
.
Shall the heir of water follow the path of darkness
May it be for good
For he must be called the Dark Lord and destroy many
To ensure the lives of his companions
And may the blood of lovers interfere
When opposites face each other
Only a part of the truth will be know, for they will say:
.
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...
.
From darkness shall come the light
From hate shall come love
From coldness shall come warmth
A great heart shall be born in a world of prejudices
For the heir of spirit shall defy the world
In the name of love
.
When two Great Powers shall unite,
The clock will start its countdown
And only the one born from the forces of light and darkness
Conceived in love forbidden by the world
Shall guide the path of the powers
Born without prejudices, this child shall face many
For, if the choice is for light, the path easy will be
For the love conquers all.
.
From a tragedy shall come kindness
From pain shall come strength
To make the right decision
When the time comes
For the earth shall meet the light in the darkness to guide the path
.
Shall the winds of wisdom meet a safe harbor
For this child shall not find the sought acceptance for many years
And when it is found, shall pass trough many prejudices
But in the end they shall be together
If the path is guided by others.'".
"What is the meaning of all that?"
"The first part is about the life of the heir of Slytherin, me; the second, about your mother, the heiress of Morgan LeFay; the third and the fourth is about why I should become the Dark Lord; the second, the third and the fourth are about you, the heir of Gryffindor; the fifth is about your husband, Draco Malfoy, the heir of Merlin; the sixth is about Nil, heiress of Rapsehs; the seventh is about Christa, the heiress of Hufflepuff, and the eighth is about the heiress of Ravenclaw, that now we know that is your friend, Hermione Snape." Tom said seriously.

"Aberforth, it is my son. He is pregnant. What should we do?" Lucius asked the man, the only elder in the room at that moment.

"Tom. Good to see you here. I have some things to discuss with you. Please, come in, have a seat."
"Thank you Aberforth." Tom answered following Aberforth to one of the Elders' room. There was a table and three chairs on the room, one behind the table and the other two facing the first one.

After Tom exited the room, Aberforth used the floo powder to talk with his brother, Albus Dumbledore. He needed to talk to him about the Bringers. Luckly, he could get the Order of Phoenix's help.
~~~~~~~~Snape Manor~~~~~~
"Sev, I'm going to Diagon Alle..." Hermione stopped in the middle of the phrase with a bad feeling. For pure instinct, she grabbed her wand and entered the living room on the main floor. Severus was reading and she relaxed when he turned to her.

"I hope we are dear, but it is just two days since Voldemort's defeat, there are still Death Eaters out there who want revenge. Now, go." He whispered to her and gave her a quick kiss on her lips.
"Great Peter, he saw you, couldn't you be a little less careful and shout to him that we are here, maybe he would have paid less attention to you." Hissed Nil.
"Shut up, Bluenile, what is done is done, we are the only ones inside the house. Frostheart told us to finish those two while they entered the house and made the siege, in case anything goes wrong. Let's see now if it will be needed." Pettigrew hissed back.
"Don't worry, Pete, nothing will go wrong, I assure you." And with that last comment, Nil jumped to the main floor, behind Snape.

#Finally I got rid of you Bluenile, now, no one can stop me. #
~~~~~~Brotherhood headquarters, during the attack~~~~~~~~
"The heiress of Ravenclaw has shown herself" a wizard shouted.
Tom, that had come back to the Monitor Room a few minutes ago, asked:
"Who is she?"
"Hermione Snape."
"Hermione Snape, of course. It was so obvious: 'Shall the winds of wisdom meet a safe harbor For this child shall not find the sought acceptance for many years And when it is found, shall pass trough many prejudices But in the end they shall be together If the path is guided by others', I wonder why we never saw this before." Replied Tom thoughtfully.
"There is a problem here Tom." The same wizard shouted.
"What is it?"
"The house came down."
"What?!" this time, Tom's shout drew everyone's attention.
"The house came down, Nil and the heiress are still alive along with many others but I don't know for how long."
"Send the Potters and the Blueniles immediately, we can't loose them."
Tom then turned to the two people in front of him.
#Damn, Nil, why didn't you listen to Lucius?# he thought sadly angry.
"Riddle, what was that thing you recited?" asked Harry, now a bit calmer, after seeing their efforts to take care of two attacks at the same time.
"Tom, I'll warn the elders about what happened, okay?" Christa said looking at Tom.
"Okay Christa, and come back if you have any news"
Christa nodded and got out of the room.
"It was the last part of the prophecy." Tom answered looking at Harry.
"The prophecy? You mean, the same that Trelawney did?"
"Yeah, it is the same, what Dumbledore heard was just a part of it. Usually, great prophecies are made by various people, in many parts of the world and in many languages."
"So, if that prophecy that I heard, that you... tried to get from the Ministry and that caused... Sirius death, wasn't the entire prophecy, what is the entire one?" Harry asked angrily.
"Sirius Black is not dead, he was brought back to life through a very dangerous and a very powerful ritual, so you don't need to be so angry." Tom answered looking around the room and then, he led Harry to one of the few couches that were in the room, near the door. After they were seated, across from each other, Tom looked at him deep in the eye and recited the entire prophecy for him:
" 'When darkness shall fall
Upon the heart of the serpent
Only the blood of darkness
May bring light to the life of the snake
The bearer of darkness may not fail
For upon her shoulders lay the fate of the world
For when the mother of darkness
Shall be united with the bearer of the blood of light
She shall give birth to one of the Great Powers
For her heart carries the waters of forgiveness
.
And when the stars align
The heir of a great mind of darkness shall be born
This child shall seek for acceptance
This mind shall not be rejected
But the acceptance will be only found
In the arms of the bearer of the blood of fire
A great decision lays ahead this mind
For the decision for the light or darkness
The world will affect
May this child choose the light for good
For upon this union the heir of fire shall be born
.
Shall the heir of water follow the path of darkness
May it be for good
For he must be called the Dark Lord and destroy many
To ensure the lives of his companions
And may the blood of lovers interfere
When opposites face each other
Only a part of the truth will be know, for they will say:
.
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...
.
From darkness shall come the light
From hate shall come love
From coldness shall come warmth
A great heart shall be born in a world of prejudices
For the heir of spirit shall defy the world
In the name of love
.
When two Great Powers shall unite,
The clock will start its countdown
And only the one born from the forces of light and darkness
Conceived in love forbidden by the world
Shall guide the path of the powers
Born without prejudices, this child shall face many
For, if the choice is for light, the path easy will be
For the love conquers all.
.
From a tragedy shall come kindness
From pain shall come strength
To make the right decision
When the time comes
For the earth shall meet the light in the darkness to guide the path
.
Shall the winds of wisdom meet a safe harbor
For this child shall not find the sought acceptance for many years
And when it is found, shall pass trough many prejudices
But in the end they shall be together
If the path is guided by others.'".
"What is the meaning of all that?"
"The first part is about the life of the heir of Slytherin, me; the second, about your mother, the heiress of Morgan LeFay; the third and the fourth is about why I should become the Dark Lord; the second, the third and the fourth are about you, the heir of Gryffindor; the fifth is about your husband, Draco Malfoy, the heir of Merlin; the sixth is about Nil, heiress of Rapsehs; the seventh is about Christa, the heiress of Hufflepuff, and the eighth is about the heiress of Ravenclaw, that now we know that is your friend, Hermione Snape." Tom said seriously.
