A/N: I'm nearing the end of this fanfic. I hope everyone had enjoyed my first Harry Potter fanfic. Reviews will help me decide whether to end it happily or evilily. Enjoy.
They woke late in the afternoon the next day, entwined in eachother's arms, and all dreams forgotten. The enchanted windows allowed the bright sun rays into the dark dungeon room, and bathed the pair in warm rays of fresh Spring sunlight.
Sitting at the foot of the bed, getting a sweet picture of the two, was Fawkes, Dumbledore's Phoenix, with a message from the Headmaster in his beak.
Aurora was the first awake, slowly followed by Severus, so she was the one who took the message from Fawkes. When she had it in her hand, he gave her a nod of his head and a single sweet note as he left the room, which was what woke Severus.
The message read:
Dear Ms. MacNamair,
I am formally requesting your presence in my office as soon as you fell able to make the journey.
We have a few things that need to be discussed.
I hope you have continued good health, and that you make the journey sooner rather than later.
Dumbledore
Severus had been reading over her shoulder, so once he finished, he pulled Aurora back down to the bed with him so he could catch up on his sleep. Luckily, it was Saturday, so he didn't have to worry about classes or unintelligent brats until Monday.
"Severus, I have to go. Dumbledore has requested my presence." Aurora was fighting the urge to stay in bed with Severus so she could do what had to be done.
"He requested it for when you feel able." He wasn't ready to let her go yet, and he was hoping that she would change her mind.
"But I do feel able."
"You only think you do. his office is up a flight of stairs, on the other side of the castle, and then up another flight of winding stairs. You'll pass out before you get there."
"Maybe so, but the sooner I get this meeting over with, the sooner I can be as lazy here with you as I want." With that, she gave him a kiss on his lips, and nearly ran out of the bed while he was distracted.
"He'll end up saying something that will make you want to stay out of this bed and therefore away from me. He always does!"
Aurora quickly changed her clothes and left.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dumbledore was a clever man. He knew that Aurora's sense of duty would make her come before she was truly ready, so he had his office moved.
As Aurora emerged from the dungeon room, instead of seeing the corridor to the rest of the school, she was standing in front of Dumbledore's office.
At first she was confused, but realized that Dumbledore figured that she would come immediately, and therefore made the journey something that she would be able to handle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh Aurora! I hope that the journey wasn't too much too handle."
"It was an absolute nightmare." The sarcasm was dripping off of their comments. "Why was it so urgent that I come? I could sense some fear in your words, which was what brought me sooner rather than later."
"Like I said, there are a few things that we need to discuss, or rather a few things that I need to tell you. Please just try to absorb what I have to tell you?"
Aurora could sense the same kind of fear in his voice that she had sensed in the letter, so she merely sat down on the big, comfy couch while Dumbledore spoke to her.
"My dear," the smile was present, but not reaching his eyes, "there is something I must tell you before things proceed any further."
Aurora was becoming confused, however, it was nothing compared to the way she would feel when he was done. "What is it?"
"There is something that I should have told you, or your parents should have told you." She gave him a blank stare. "There is a prophecy surrounding your existence." She sat there, dumbfounded.
"You do realize that you are the last Pure Light Entity, don't you?"
"Yes, well, my mom always told me that I was the last ever born, but they are both Pure Light Entities. So we are the last…" Dumbledore had cut her off with merely a look and a motion of his hand.
"While Voldemort had you and you didn't know who you were, your parents died in a car wreck. They died instantly, so they didn't suffer. We only found out because your parent's solicitor sent you a letter, which I read with Severus, concerning what to do in the event of their deaths. We made all of the necessary preparations for the funeral and I was able to assume your form for the funeral from a strand of your hair that Severus still had and a handy Polyogise Potion. I am sorry you had to find out this way."
Aurora was stunned, but not into silence. "That makes me the last Pure Light Entity. And now every choice that I make will in some way pertain to some prophecy about me. Do you of the prophecy? My parents never went into detail about it," forgetting about the first part of their conversation.
"Yes. That was actually one of the things that I had called you up here to tell you about."
"One of the things?"
"I'll tell you afterwards. The prophecy goes like this: When there is only one Pure Light Entity left on the earth, there will be a war between the good and evil. There will also be one Dark Magic Element on the earth, and he will have many secretive followers to aid him. Should the Pure Light Entity join the side of evil, their powers combined would shadow the world in total darkness forever. However, if the Pure Light Entity should stand against him, she would win the war for the good. And, in the last display of power between them, the Pure Light Entity would destroy all of the evil ones."
Aurora stood after hearing that. She just couldn't handle the idea that whatever she chose, people were going to die, people she loved and cared about. She made like she going to leave, forgetting about the other thing Dumbledore had to tell her.
"Aurora, wait. Don't you want to hear the other thing that I had to tell you?"
She turned around slowly, and he could tell from the look on her face that she could just barely comprehend what he had just told her.
"What could you say to possibly top this?"
"Voldemort demanded that you be given back to him once you were well enough, or he would burn the school if he didn't get you back."
This had brought her some of the way back to her normally calm self. 'I thought that was just a dream.'
"When did he demand this?"
"After you passed out from fighting him from taking you out of the Hospital Wing and Severus wouldn't allow him to see you anymore. They both love you very much, you know?"
"Yes, I do. But, I can't go back to him. If I do, so many people will be hurt, and I could never live with all of the lives that I would be helping to destroy. But, I don't know if I could help this side either. I love tom as much as I love Severus, I could never be the one to kill him."
"Follow your heart. It has never, and will never lead you astray. Now go get some rest."
As she made her way back out of his office and down the spiral staircase to the Griffin statue, she found Severus standing in front of the statue, but he wasn't standing outside of his rooms. They were back across the castle, up a flight of stairs, and he was a little winded.
While she had been talking to Dumbledore, his office had moved back to it's original place in the castle so others would know where to find it.
"How did you beat me here in your condition? I left about a minute after you, and I half expected to find you sitting on the stairs coming up here."
"I took a shortcut."
