The truth comes out
After the holiday, was time to go back to school. The jorney back to school went without any suprises and not Malfoy's visit ("I'm stunned. He maybe got better to do than come to say hello us," Jen said). The life at school went normally, and before no one could realize, was already April. Hermione started getting nervous about the N.E.W.T.S. "They're really important, you know. It's better to start reading now, than get nervous a week before the tests" Hermione said. "Like you're now?" Ron asked under his breathe. But Hermione was right. Soon it was May and everyone was getting nervous. "I think I don't know nothing at all. My head's so empty. Even I've been studing over a month, thanks to Hermione" Ron muttered. Harry have the same feeling. Then he was thinking the Horcruxes. He hadn't time to think them after the Christmas. He knew he coulndn't have Nagini without getting near to Voldemort. And still he hasn't got a clue what was the last Horcrux.
Next time Harry thought about Horcruxes, it was after the tests. He was walking at the castle, when he heard Jen's voice over the corner. He decided to go say hello, when he heard another voice, Slipper's voice. He was turning back, but too late. "How many have been destroyed?" Slipper asked. "Five" Jen said. "Do they know the last ones?" Slipper asked. "Only that other one" was an answer. "OK, remember-" there was a pause. "Jen, listen to me. I know this is hard for you, but after this, you can be free. You can do whatever you want to do. Just remember. Tonight at 7 p.m at the Forest, and be away from they OK?" Slipper said. The he whispered something, what Harry couldn't hear. Then he heard how steps got away. Harry stood there for a moment, then he satt on the floor. What was that all about? Have Jen and Slipper been talking about the Horcruxes? Why would Jen told him? Jen have told them that Slipper was an auror, but why hadn't she told them? None of it didn't make sense. Harry look his watch. It was 5 p.m. For two hours for that Jen was supposed be at the Forest. Harry decided to find Jen and then go to talk others. But he didn't find Jen. He searhced her for an hour and then he decided to give up. When he got to the Common Room, Ron, Hermione and Ginny were waiting him. "Where have you been? We want talk to you" Hermione said. "And I want talk with you," Harry said, "Listen." And he told them about Jen and Slipper's conversation. "You must be kidding me! She can't do that" Ginny said, shocked. "I felt the same way" Harry said. "Look what we found" Hermione said and showed a letter. "Jen came here two hours ago and looked very sad and angry. We were going to ask what was wrong, but we found only this" Ginny said. Harry took the letter and read it. "Hi you all. I know this isn't the best way to say good-bye, but I can't help it. Harry, I know you heard my conversation with Slipper, so I'm begging you: please don't come to the Forest. I know I've lied and all, but please, don't come to the Forest. You might think this is some kind of trap for me asking you this, but for first time I'm not lying and doing this for my own free will in whole year. So I'm asking you Harry, for last time, don't follow for you and others own sake.
I'm sorry for everything,
Jen." Harry looked the letter for a moment. Then the others. "What are we going to do?" Ron asked. "We going to the Forest" Harry answered.
An hour later
Harry walked quiet to the Forest, Ginny, Ron and Hermione behind him. "Lumos" they said, when the darkness got them. "Is it only me, or is it darker tan usually?" Ron asked. "I don't know. Where Jen is?" Hermione asked. "I think we find him soon" Harry said. And soon they saw someone sitting quietly. When they get closer, the person rise up. When the light got close enough. they saw Jen's face. She looked sad, when she saw them. "Didn't I told you not to come?" she whispered. "What else we should've done? You were talking Horcruxes behind our backs" Harry said angrily. Before Jen could answer, they heard clapping from the darkness. "I knew you was going to say that Potter" heard a cold voice. Harry couldn't believe it. Death Eaters came to light and then Voldemort. He smiled evily. "Isn't this odd Potter? A second time when you trust one of my allies who get you in the trap" Voldemort said and walked to Jen. "This little girl here has pretended to be your friend whole year and you haven't notice. All those lies, how she knew so well about Dark Magic and how she could be in that same compartent with you in empty train. And you didn't notice" Voldemort laughed. Harry looked at Jen. "Is it true?" he asked. Jen nodded. "I've been walking with Death Eater!" Harry almost yelled. "I'm not a Death Eater" Jen said in quiet voice. "What?" "I'm not a Death Eater! I don't take orders from that guy. I'm much more danngerous than Voldemort. I take orders from the Darkness" Jen said. "From who-?" Ron begun, but saw something comig out of the darkness. It was a man. It looked like he was wearing black robes, which were raising up like smoke. He have black hair and black eyes. He smiled when he saw Harry. "Ah, this Harry Potter, who is going to kill one of my workers, right?" he said. Harry looked at him. "Who the bloody hell are you?" Ron asked. "Oh, how rude of me. I didn't intoduce myself" he said. "I'm the Darkness. I rule everything bad and evil. When someone is intrested of dark powers, they'll come talk with me. You see, I'm the God of darkness, like spirit or a ghost" said walking around them. Harry noticed that he was walking in same way like Dementors. "And Jen..." Harry said. "She? She never wasn't intrested for these powers. After that I killed her parents, I took her living with me. Her father tought her how to fight on sword and I saw her very useful" Darkness said smiling. "You killed her parents?" Harry asked. Darkness looked at Jen. "I tought her even better fighter and now she's my left hand. She got more power than this Voldemort here" Darkness said. "Why did she then work for him?" Hermione asked. "For him? Voldemort asked help for me of his situation. He was losing one of his good Death Eater and one who was showing he was for something. So I sent Jen here to save him."
Flashback
"Ah, here is my beautiful killer." Jen turned around to see Darkness entred in the room. "What is it?" she asked. On her face was an evil grin, when she was holding a knife in her hands. Even she didn't like dark powers, she have start liking to be a hitman. "You know Voldemort? He asked help for me. I need you to go Hogwarts school. Here's this boy, Harry Potter. I need you to become his friend and bring him to the Dark Forest on June, so I can kill him" Darkness said casually, but his eyes were in fire. Jen's smile has faded. "I don't want to do that" she said. "What? Because of that old fool Dumbledore? Did you really think, that he would survive from this war?" Darkness asked. "Well, I'm not going to work with guys who killed him!" she said angrily and putted the knife on the desk beside her. "Oh, really now? Did you know, that in the wizarding world you can move you own, when you're seventeen? Well, you on that age now," Darkness said, got the knife from the table offred it to Jen, who took it, "so, if you can manage this job, I let you free," he whispered to Jen's ear. Jen dropped the knife on the floor. She looked at his master. "What I have to do?" "You help he and his friends to find out the last Horcruxes, expect the last one. Then help them to find them and on the June bring them to Dark Forest. Slipper will come with you. He'll be a teacher in the school, so you can tell him what is going on."
End of flashback
"Did you really love doing all this?" Harry asked. "No. I hated this. As you just find out, I've known Dumbledore. He was helping me after my parents died. Darkness tried to get me living with him, before I came better fighter. But on that time, you Harry, came to Hogwarts and his attention get to you. Still, I met him at the summers. I was hoping that I could one day live with him. He said that after Voldemort is destroyed. But I've never get living with him" Jen said. "You never told me that" Darkness said, in cold voice. "Ofcourse not. I would have been crazy to telling you that. After that you told me I would be free after this, but it was too late. Dumbledore was dead and I can't ever have a normal life, thanks to you!" Jen yelled at him. Darkness smiled. "It's good for you that you managed to do you job, otherwise you have been working to me the rest of you life" he said smiling. "What do you mean by the work Jen was managed to do?" Harry asked. "Didn't you were paying attention, when I was telling you how she bacem you 'friend'? Her job was to bring you here, so Voldemort could destroy you and darkness could rise on the world!" Darkness said, laughing. "But she didn't want to" said Ginny. Darkness looked at her. "You're Ginny Weasley, the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets. What do you mean she didn't want to?" he said. Ginny has got paler, when the Chamber was mentioned, but answered calmly. "She left a letter, where she begged Harry not to come here. She also said in that letter, she done on her own free will." "Oh, did she?" Darkness said, looking at Jen, then at Voldemort. "I think you can lead from here. You know what to do with the girl" he said to Voldemort. An evil smile rise on Voldmort's face, when he snapped his fingers and one of the Death Eaters hissed: "Crucio" at Jen. The forest got full of Jen's scream. But then Harry realized, that they weren't at the Forest anymore. Everywhere were just black and nothing else. There was no trees and he couldn't hear wind or animals. It was just quitness. "I see you've realized where we are" Voldemort said, just ingoring Jen's screaming. "This is Darkness's created place. Like another dimension, if you can call it that way" he said. He looked over his shoulder to place where Jen was screaming. "You, mud-blood," he said to Hermione, "tell me is the 'friend' of yours have enough punishment?" Hermione looked at Jen and just nodded. "Oh really? If I were you, I would let be screaming there for hours. She lied to you and get you in to a trap" Voldemort said. When he said this, he stepped closer to Hermione. On this point, Ron stepped to cover Hermione. "She isn't like that," Hermione said suddenly, behind Ron, "she helped us, she had said that she didn't want to do her job. She really cares about us. She saved us from were-wolves."
"But she didn't. She helped you finding the Horcruxes, because it was planned and those were-wolves were Death Eaters. They were there so Jen could save you and you would start trusting her" Voldemort said and snapped her fingers. Jen's screaming stopped. Harry saw her body on the ground, not moving. He closed his eyes, hoping, that he would never have see Ron, Hermione or Ginny in same situation. "What is it Potter? Did you get sceared?" Voldemort asked. Harry was going to answer, when he heard something. Hissing. But it wasn't that hissing that he understanded. It was like some kind of weird accent that he didn't understand. The one who was making that hissing noise, was Jen. She hissed so quietly, it sounded like she used her last breath for that. And soon, they could here an odd voice. From the darkness came out a snake. But not just an ordinary snake, it was giant snake, Nagini. Nagini get to Jen, who was still hissing. Then she said quietly: "Harry, come here." Harry walked to her, and realized that no one stop him. Voldemort and Death Eaters seem got stanned. "What is it?" he asked from Jen. "This hissing noise, what I'm making, is an ancient snake calling. With this, all I want to be quiet, be quiet. This snake is like a puppy with me now, but it will last only a moment. Harry, now it's you time to kill it" she said, and started making hissing again. "How can trust you?" Harry asked. "Because, I rather live with Darkness my whole live than see the whole world in darkness" Jen said. Harry looked at Jen, then raise his wand and said: "Avada kedavra." It was puff and the snake was gone. On that moment, Voldemort and Death Eaters woke up. "Potter! What are you doing there?" Voldemort yelled at Harry. Harry stood up, not knowing what to do. "He do something, that makes him find only one Horcrux anymore" Jen said. "You! You helped him to kill Nagini!" Voldemort yelled. "Yes I did" Jen said. "I always knew that you would someday turn to good. Now you've failed me, and watch what happend for that" Darkness said, who have come back. And before Harry could do anything, he was sent to another dimension.
