Chappie Nine
"Not a word," Serenity muttered, as she unlocked the front do of her home. Enlil nodded as they entered. It was pitch black inside, "Come on, you can sleep on the couch, hopefully Severus is still asleep."
"No chance," A furious voice snapped as the lights switched on. Snape stood metres away from them in a black sleeping robe. He looked like he was ready to murder again.
"Hi daddy," Enlil mumbled looking uncomfortably at his shoes. Severus ignored him and began to rave like a wild man.
"HOW DARE YOU RUN AWAY LIKE THAT? AND WHILE EVERY ONE IS ASLEEP AS WELL! YOU ALMOST GAVE YOUR MOTHER A HEARTATTACK!"
Bill Weasley walked in behind him staring at Snape like he had gone insane. A drowsy looking Livia and Octavian walked down the stairs rubbing their eyes. Livia turned to Serenity and asked "What the hell is going on?"
"Snape's just burning of some fume,"
"YOU DISGUST ME! YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN YOUR SELF KILLED. DIDN'T YOU THINK OF WHAT YOUR MOTHER WOULD HAVE FELT LIKE IF SOME THING HAPPENED TO YOU?"
"And of what he would feel," Serenity added.
"SERENITY! IF YOU CAN'T TELL I AM TRYING TO YELL AT MY SON, BE QUIET," Snape shouted himself hoarse. Serenity raised her hands in front of her self and moved back. Enlil hid behind Serenity cowering, tears streaming down his face. Severus kicked at a fragile looking pale red vase shattering the ceramic.
"HEY!" Serenity hollered. Severus ignored her and continued to yell at the crying boy. Serenity hissed in annoyance and pulled out a purple stick, "Petrificus Totalus."
Snape fell over like a floor board, only to break another vase, "Oh bloody hell."
"He hates me," Enlil whimpered.
"No he doesn't," Serenity said, she pointed her wand at Severus, he disappeared. "He is just a git."
"Were did he go?" Livia asked. Serenity pointed up towards her room as she muttered 'reparo' under her breath. The two vases were fixed. Serenity grabbed Enlil by the hand and led him to the TV room.
"Every one go to sleep now," Serenity said, as Bill followed her. She sat on the longest couch and motion to Enlil to lie beside her. He lay beside her with his head on her lap. Bill sat in an arm chair. "Bill I think you should go home, tell Charlie he's fine, I'll watch him tonight."
"You sure?" Bill said.
"Yes, Charlie is probably worried sick, so go and tell him he is safe," Serenity said, stroking Enlil's soft hair. Bill nodded and stood up. He walked up to Enlil and kissed him on the forehead.
"Good night," He muttered, before stepping into the fire, "The burrow!"
He disappeared as Enlil sniffled. "Are you angry with me?"
"No," Serenity yawned. "Just annoyed, Snape was right though, you could have gotten killed today."
"He hates me," Enlil whimpered, "That is why he doesn't wanna see me."
"He doesn't hate you," Serenity sighed, "He just doesn't know how to express his feelings to well. He had a rough life, and he isn't to sure on how to show people he loves them."
"He hates me," Enlil muttered, Serenity rolled her eyes. "Don't roll your eyes at me."
"How did you know I rolled them?" Serenity smirked.
"Dunno," Enlil sniffed, "I could feel it."
"Just a minute," Serenity said looking around to see if any one was around; she pulled her wand out and swished it, silver light enveloped the room.
"What was that, Tante?" Enlil asked.
"A spell so we can speak in private," Serenity said, "I have some thing I need to tell you, about that man."
"He was my Gantir,"
"What?" Serenity gaped, "How do you know that?"
"I can tell," Enlil shrugged.
"Well okay, but there is something about me and him I have to tell you," Serenity said, "You are my last hope."
--------
"Fleur, it wasn't your fault," Bill assured, hugging his wife. "He wanted to see Snape, so he did."
"Bill's right, I'm blaming him," Charlie said, "The moment Serenity brings him home, he is grounded!"
"I think he has been punished enough," Bill said, "Snape had a go at him, broke a vase in the process."
"He didn't hit hi did he?" Charlie asked his eyes widening.
"No," Bill quickly assured, "But he screamed himself hoarse."
"Wait," Ron said, shaking his head, "Snape yelled at my nephew?"
"Yeah," Harry said, anger burning inside him. "What gave him that right?"
"He is Enlil's father," Charlie shrugged, Ron and Harry gaped, "Snape does have a right."
"Hold it!" Ron said. "Rewind, Snape is his dad?"
"Yeah," Bill said, raising a brow, "And you two didn't know?"
"The poor boy!" Ron snapped.
"How the hell did that happen?" Harry said.
"Where the hell were you two when mum explained everything?" Fred and George both snapped. Hermione rolled her eyes in agreement.
"I was thinking about Voldemort," Harry said, "I was a little distracted. I don't know about what Ron was thinking about, but I don't want to know!"
The group laughed as Fred ruffled his brother's hair. Ginny Weasley walked in yawning.
"What was all that yelling about last night?" Ginny asked, her eyes barely open.
"Enlil ran away," Fred said.
"But know he's with Serenity," George said.
"And with Snape,"
"Why is he with Snape?" Ginny asked.
"He's staying at Serenity's," Charlie said, "They are long distant relatives."
"Poor Serenity," Ginny yawned sitting beside Hermione. "So what are we doing?"
"Waiting for Serenity and Enlil," Charlie said pointing at the fire.
"Why'd he run away?" Fred asked
"Wanted to see Snape," Charlie said.
"Have you been feeding him right?" George asked. Charlie shrugged.
-----
"Just go in there and apologize, don't worry he probably cant move," Serenity said pushing Enlil into her bed room. She closed the door and leaned against it before dropping her self so she was sitting.
Inside Enlil looked around and saw that his father was asleep in the bed. He walked over and stood on his tippy toes so he could see his father better. He raised a brow when he saw his father's eyes were open and staring at him. The eyeballs moved around and stared back at him.
"Are you still petrified?" Enlil asked. The eyeballs went up and down, "Was that a yes? If so, Tante is really good at magic."
Severus nodded his eyes again. There were the only things that he could move.
"I'm sorry about what I did dad," Enlil said, Severus nodded his eyes once more. "Maybe I should tell Serenity to un-petrify you."
"No," Severus said. Enlil gaped as Severus sat up looking confused. "Why did it die of?"
"I don't know," Enlil said. "Daddy, are you angry with me?"
"No and don't call me daddy," Severus muttered, bending his arms, "Dad will do."
"Okay," Enlil said.
"Why did you run away?" Severus asked.
"I didn't run away," Enlil said, "I was looking for you."
"In the middle of the night?" Severus asked.
"Okay so I'm stupid," Enlil muttered. Severus looked at him and shook his head.
"Never, ever call your self stupid," Severus snapped. He grabbed his son and pulled him towards him. "You are not stupid."
"Uh huh," Enlil said, suddenly sounding a lot like Serenity, "Either hug me, or let me go."
"Uh, yes, sorry," Severus said, realising the boy. Enlil rolled his eyes in annoyance. "What?"
Enlil suddenly jumped at Severus enveloping him in a bone crushing hug; or at least as bone crushing as an eight year old could manage. Severus hesitated before snaking his arms around his son, holding him close.
-------
Charlie sighed, staring into the fire. Percy walked up behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Charlie, it isn't good to look into fire," Percy said as he sat beside him.
"I'm worried, when will they come?" Charlie sighed.
"When they are ready," Percy answered, "Don't worry Serenity wont let any thing happen to him."
"Uncle Percy is right," Charlie spun around to see Enlil and Serenity standing behind them. Serenity had a chocolate ice cream in her hand licking it, as Enlil shuffled his feet nervously.
"Oh God!" Charlie said jumping over the couch, he grabbed Enlil and hugged him, "Thank God, you are okay!"
"I'm sorry mum," Enlil whispered.
"Its okay, as long as your safe," Charlie whispered back, he then added, "You're grounded."
"Mum!" Enlil whined as Charlie smirked at him. Serenity sniggered, as Harry walked into the room.
"Oh hey," Harry said, pulling something gold out of his pocket, "I got your locket, didn't have to destroy it completely."
"Thank you," Serenity said, wrapping it around her neck.
"How did you lose that locket in the first place?" Hermione asked.
"One of Slytherins ancestors stole it of me," Serenity said, "Marvolo Gaunt, gave it to his daughter, and then she sold it and some how Hepzibah Smith ended up with it, then Voldie created a horcrux from it and Regulus stole it of him and gave it to-"
"Wait," Ron said, "I thought Tonks' mum stole it."
"Huh," Serenity muttered raising a brow, "okay secrets out."
"What do you mean?" Harry asked. Serenity stared around, most of the order and the entire Weasley bunch was staring intently at her.
"Okay," Serenity said, "Harry, follow me, we need to talk."
"Ron and Hermione come to," Harry said, "It'll save me having to tell them again later."
"Oh for God's sake," Serenity sighed, "Fine, lets go."
-----
"So?" Harry asked. "What's going on?"
"Alright," Serenity sighed, "I don't know if any one told you, but Regulus Black, well he was a death eater."
"Remus told us," Hermione said, "He only survived a few days after he betrayed the death eaters."
"No, that's a lie," Serenity said, "He survived two weeks."
"Well what's so important about him?" Ron asked.
"Well, it was Bellatrix who lured him to the dark side, she hadn't told him exactly what Voldie wanted to do, but once he found out that they were going to kill Muggles and muggle-borns he wanted out," Serenity said, "But that didn't sit to well with Voldie. He had him put under the Imperius, for a few days. I don't know who cast the spell but Regulus fought it and escaped. But not before he heard Voldie talking to another death eater about his horcruxes. He managed to find out were the locket was hidden. So he went straight after it."
"Then what is the R.A.B meant to stand for?" Harry asked.
"Some thing Sirius and Andromeda use to call him," Serenity answered, "Regulus Annoying Black. I'm guessing when he found the locket and wrote the note he added the 'A' but he completely forgot about Andromeda having the same initials."
"Then what?"
"He was just about to leave the cave when Bellatrix rocked up and threw a curse at him," Serenity said, "It was a curse that would kill him slowly and painfully. She left him there to die, but with his last strength he decided to pay his oldest cousin a visit. He found Andromeda and she instantly took him in. He told her that the Voldie placed him under the Imperius. He then tried to tell her about the horcrux but only managed to say 'the dark lord.' So Andromeda guessed he meant Voldie was the one who cursed him. He died within minutes on her couch."
"How do you fit into the story?" Ron asked.
"I was visiting her that day," Serenity said, "She wanted me to baby sit Nymphodora as her and Ted wanted to go out. But their plans were cancelled. Any way, I noticed some thing in Regulus hand. And there it was; my locket. Andromeda gave it to me. I never thought twice about why it was with him until you asked me."
"So Regulus was a good death eater," Hermione said.
"Yeap, had he not opened his mouth and betrayed Voldie, he may have still been alive now," Serenity said. "Spying on Voldie, or more likely hiding."
--------
Harry grabbed his last set of books and threw them into his trunk. Finally closing his large trunk he dragged it out of Ron's room, and down the stairs with a thump for each step. Hermione and Ron soon followed also dragging there heavy trunks with them.
Molly stood at the end of the stairs a tear or two escaped her eyes. "Promise me that you will return for your birth day Harry?"
"Of course," Harry said, "I wouldn't miss that for the world."
"Hermione dear, please be careful," Molly said, crying.
"I will be," Hermione assured. Molly turned to Ron, grabbing him by the neck she hugged him tightly.
"OH, please be careful! Don't get your self hurt, my little boy!" Molly sobbed. Ron hugged her back and nodded.
"Alright," Serenity said, pulling something out of her pocket, she handed it to Hermione. "I trust you know how to use this right?"
"Yes," Hermione answered, looking at the black mobile phone, "But will it work around magic?"
"Yeah, I played with it a little," Serenity said, "Unless if some one sits on it and breaks it, it will work fine, batteries will never die, and the credit never ends. It will work any were you are. Call me or any of the other vampires on the phone. You can trust any of them. Just cover you neck."
"Alright," Hermione smiled, pocketing the phone.
"Harry," Serenity turned to the black hair boy. "That book you found last year the potion book, use it if you still have it. It will be extremely useful. Practice curses of all kinds on any thing. Get spiders, or snakes, every one hates snakes. Well expect for Slytherins and me, for good reasons."
"Why do you like them?" Ron asked.
"Cause they taste like chocolate," Serenity smirked. "Oh and I will be coming to see you at least once a week to see how you are progressing with the horcruxes."
"Why?"
"Because I'm a nosy git," Serenity said, "Actually it's either me or Livia. But she'll be busy. So it's me."
"Alright," Harry said, "We'll see you there."
"Another question," Serenity said, "Do you have a secret keeper?"
"No," Harry said, "I never thought of it."
"Well, choose some one," Serenity said, "Some one you trust more then any one. Other then Ron and Hermione."
"Gin-"
"Too young," Serenity said, before Harry could finish.
"After what happened last time," Harry started, "Is a secret-keeper worth it."
"Last time was father's and Black's fault," Serenity said, sharply. Harry felt his skin boil in anger. "They were fools for thinking Remus was the traitor. I told them that I smelt a rat, not a wolf."
"You knew," Remus asked.
"Not really," Serenity said, "I knew that you weren't the traitor, but when I told Black and Potter about there being a traitor in the order, the idiots thought it was you. After every thing they had done for you, they thought you'd back stab 'em. Lily told 'em and so did I."
"You knew my parents?"
"I am part of the Order of Phoenix, bub," Serenity said. "I wasn't too involved though. Thought it was a waste of time. Still do."
"Serenity, unless if it's got two legs, a head full of silky hair, a six pack, speaking of both gut and beer, plus nice ass," Livia smirked, "every thing to you is a waste of time."
"That's true," Serenity said, "And its gotta have a big package."
"Um, that is disgusting," Remus shuddered. The two vampires laughed, as Harry stared at Remus intently. "What's wrong Harry?"
"Remus, would you be our secret keeper?" Harry asked. Remus went quiet.
"Hey Loony an answer would be good today," Serenity sighed.
"Okay, I'll do it," Remus said, said smiling at Harry.
"You should be fine once you are in Hogwarts," Livia said, "You won't be in any immediate danger. Other then Serenity"
"So where is Godric's Hollow?" Ron asked.
"Wales," Serenity answered, "It was the muggle village Godric Gryffindor him self grew up, him, named after him."
"Do you think Octavian would want to come?" Livia asked.
"No," Serenity said, "What difference would it make, he still has a warp up idea about the place."
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
"Never mind," Serenity said. "Harry we need a list of all the people you want to be able to enter once the spell is on. Remus can tell them once he is made secret keeper."
"Alright, Hermione, Ron and I can make it once we are there," Harry said. "We better go."
"Serenity, why don't we just click them there?" Livia asked.
"Yeah but there is four of them and two of us," Serenity said.
"So we can get Gabriella, Samuel or even Halle," Livia said. Serenity nodded and pulled out her trusty phone. Minutes later Halle showed up with a very ticked of Blaise.
"What's wrong?" Halle asked, whacking Blaise across the head. He rubbed his head in annoyance.
"We need you to help us take the Golden Trio and Loopy to Godric's Hollow," Serenity said, just as Samuel and Gabriella arrived, she quickly added; "We need transport."
"Okay," Samuel said as Gabriella nodded.
"Alright, I'll take Ron, Halle you take Hermione, Livia take Harry, Gabriella take Remus and Samuel," Serenity stopped and raised a brow, "Um take the trunks. Every one, say your byes and let's go."
----------
In a small abandoned village in Wales, on top of a hill, four vampires, three wizards and a werewolf appeared. Serenity realised Ron and began to walk down to the village. The rest followed.
"There it is," Serenity said, pointing at a two-storey brick house. Harry stopped and breathed deeply, this was where his parents were killed, sixteen years ago. "And that's their graves."
Harry looked up and saw two large flat rocks sitting up. He walked over and knelt in front of them. On one stone it was written;
James Potter
Born 7th April 1960
Died 31st October 1981
Loving husband and father.
On the next stone it wrote;
Lily Evans Potter
Born 19th June 1960
Died 31st October 1981
Loving wife and mother.
Harry wiped his eyes as Hermione knelt beside him and hugged him.
"Alright," Serenity said looking around, "We have to go inside now. Voldie would be expecting you to come here."
"You're right," Harry said standing up. They walked down to the house and stood just outside the metre tall wooden fence. Serenity pushed the pale green gate open and walked inside.
"You guys can go," Serenity said to Halle, Samuel and Gabriella. The three nodded and clicked away. "Livia maybe you should check on Octavian?"
Livia nodded and let also with a click. Serenity, the trio and Remus walked down a brick foot path towards the house, until they were standing in front of the door. Serenity turned the knob and pushed the door in. The five magical beings walked inside. Harry looked around and smiled softly. He was expecting a dark, depressing home, but instead it was bright, colourful and welcoming. The walls were painted a pale yellow, and the sofas and armchairs were all deep red in colour. There was a fire place in one of the walls, and above it a mantle with six photo frames. Harry walked over and looked at the pictures. The first frame was gold with picture of his mother sitting in a chair with Harry in her arms, staring at him fondly, with James standing behind them with his hand on Lily's shoulder. The next was of the wedding James and Lily stood in between Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. All four were smiling happily at the camera. The next was of Lily with Harry's aunt Petunia and an elderly couple, who Harry guessed where his grandparents from his mothers side. The next photo was of James and Harry; James was holding Harry in his lap, so that Harry's little legs were resting on James' stomach. It was taken from the side so Harry could see James' longer nose. The fifth photo was of the four Marauders at Hogwarts; Harry could see Snape in the back ground with a bleeding nose. Harry guessed that was why the Marauders were laughing. Harry suddenly noticed something about the pictures before he looked at the last.
"Why aren't they moving?" Harry asked.
"Taken with a muggle camera and left like that," Serenity said. Harry nodded before looking at the final photo frame. It was taller then the other frames as it had space for seven pictures.
"Oh my God," Hermione said, as she and Ron stared at the same frame Harry was looking at. "That's us."
Indeed it was. In the highest part of the frame, was a photo of Ron, Harry and Hermione as first years, underneath that was their second year, then their third, their fourth, fifth and finally their sixth year. In each photo they were in their Hogwarts uniform.
"Where did you get the photos?" Ron asked.
"Albus got them of Colin Creevy, except for the first, I think Hagrid took that?" Serenity said.
"Yes," Harry said, remembering the photo Hagrid had taken, on their last day at Hogwarts. "Dumbledore did this?"
"Yes," Remus said, "He helped me, Sirius, Livia and Serenity two years ago. Sirius pointed out that you might want to come here one day. So we came and cleaned it up."
"Thanks Remus," Harry laughed, "It looks good, better then Grimmauld."
"Well this house wanted to be cleaned," Remus muttered. "Not to mention Albus did most of the cleaning."
"Well we done a great job," Serenity sighed, "But I wanna go home, I just remembered I petrified Snape, and I don't remember if I unfroze him."
"Wouldn't he have unfrozen himself?" Remus asked. Serenity shook her head as Ron and Harry laughed at the idea of Snape being petrified.
"Some of my spells work stronger then others," Serenity smirked. "Harry have you written that list yet?"
"No, but I can do it know," Harry said. Serenity opened a drawer and pulled out a notepad and a muggle pen. Harry took it from her and began to write a list of people that could be told the location. He handed it to Serenity who scanned through it.
Molly Weasley. Arthur Weasley. Bill Weasley. Fleur Delacour-Weasley. Fred Weasley. George Weasley. Percy Weasley. Ginny Weasley. Charlie Weasley. Enlil Assur-Banipal. Nymphodora Tonks. Andromeda Tonks. Minerva McGonagall. Serenity Eden. Livia Dumbledore. Remus Lupin. Callisto Granger. Jacob Granger. Alastor Moody. Dobby. Luna Lovegood. Neville Longbottom. Halle Zabini. Blaise Zabini. Octavian. Gabriella. Samuel.
"What's Octavian's last name?" Harry asked. "And Gabriella and Samuel's?"
"Gryffindor, Quadam and Rando" Serenity said "But you don't need to put my self or the vampire on the list."
"Why?"
"Cause we are vampires, cross 'em out" Serenity said, "Why'd you put Blaise down?"
"I don't know," Harry said as he crossed out the vampire from the list, "I just trust him."
"Well," Serenity said, but she suddenly pulled out her phone and pressed a few buttons. She held it against her ear. "Halle…yeah it's me…did you go and get Blaise from the Weasleys….good one…better not tell him you forgot him… poor boy."
"She forgot him?" Ron laughed, Serenity sniggered as she nodded. "So how does this spell work?"
"I need the four of you to place your right hand on one another's, Remus yours on top," Serenity said, the four complied, "Get your wand out Wolffi."
"What do I do?" Remus asked, as it was the first time he had ever done the spell.
"Repeat what I say," Serenity said.
"Wait!" Harry said, "I want to add two other people on the list."
"Who?" Ron asked.
"Malfoy and his mum," Harry said.
"What?"
"I know sounds odd," Harry said, "But Dumbledore wanted to protect the git."
"Well write him down quickly," Serenity said, "Time to start, get back into that position and Remus put your wand under neath Hermione's hand seeing as hers is the bottom one."
"Okay," Remus said, doing what the vampire order. She tapped her wand three times on the werewolf's wrist
"Keli Toleno a tolth hani." Serenity said
"Keli Toleno a tolth hani." Remus repeated.
"Meh ayno do shitho,"
"Meh ayno do shitho,"
"Domarno medeh la pisin, ayko tolen a tolth."
"Domarno medeh la pisin, ayko tolen a tolth."
"Ter moyathno khayifo, oh disino li gyhano."
"Ter moyathno khayifo, oh disino li gyhano."
Serenity tapped the wand once more and said "Fidili Amerin"
The trio and Remus felt something through up their arms and through their bodies.
"What was that?" Hermione asked.
"The spell working," Serenity said.
"What language was that?" Ron asked.
"Aramaic," Serenity said.
"What were you saying?"
"That if Lupin betrayed you he'd die and go to hell instantly," Serenity said.
"Serenity!" Harry said.
"Its okay Harry," Remus said, "I won't die, because I won't betray you, pity no one thought of that 16 years ago."
"I know," Serenity said, she then added "I only done that because of last time."
"But I trust Remus," Harry said.
"Yeah I know, but," Serenity scratched her nose, "I don't."
------
Next Chappie: Remus tells everyone on the list were the trio are at, McGonagall visits the trio. Harry's birth day bash, and Ron takes Enlil to the muggle zoo after Harry's birth day with Harry, Hermione and Ginny. And maybe a few extra guests go too.
