Before I do anything; I would like to thank the only person who was kind enough to give me feedback on this story: Rainheart344! Thank you! I am not saying this because I am desperate for reviews; I'm saying this because when you DON'T review, I have no idea whether it's 'cause you don't get to it or because the story is a load of shit and you don't want to hurt my feelings. So remember kids- Review, and everyone's happy.
Lane: I COMMAND YOU TO REVIEW WITH ALL OF MY DEMENTED LITTLE MIND! MWAHAHAHAHA!
Dumped in a field, Alexia and Moppet didn't look at each other. Alexia got their camp ready, while Moppet changed out of her dress with some clothes Alexia gave her. They were both silent as they ate and sat by the fire.
Finally, Moppet sniffed. "I miss Lane." She whimpered.
Alexia wrapped her arms around Moppet, attempting, and failing, to simulate Lane's motherly instinct which would have kicked in, but Moppet simply cried harder. Giving up, Alexia patted her back. "Get some rest. We'll see where we are in the morning." She told Moppet. Sniffling, Moppet went to sleep on the grass.
Making sure the fire wouldn't go out, Alexia found herself staying up well past midnight. She sighed, rubbing her eyes. She was trying to not look at the fire- eventually, Alexia did, and her stomach did back flips.
Staring into the fire, all she could see was Kai's face. You abandoned him. A voice at the back of her head told her. Alexia gulped, trying to ignore it. Jump, jump in. You'll see him again. Fire was his element- he'll be merciful to you. Alexia shut out the voice, laying down, but not being able to sleep for what was seemingly hours.
The rest of the night passed, thankfully, much more quickly once Alexia fell asleep. She woke to the sun rising, as always. After a quick hunt, Alexia began cooking breakfast. Moppet, for once, got up on her own and without complaining. They didn't speak, not while they were walking, or when they stopped to rest, not until they came upon a large ruin.
"What's on the sign?" Moppet asked, pointing towards the front. Alexia squinted to read it.
"Do not enter. Danger." For the first time since Lane had died, Alexia allowed herself a small smile. "I say we check it out."
Moppet nodded, going on ahead. Alexia was surprised- the Moppet she knew would have been terrified and said no unless Lane would have made her. I guess it's been harder on her. Alexia told herself.
There was noise of chaos within the ruins, but once inside, they both realized it was no ruin- it was a large and luxurious castle. Although, it was still chaos, as people were running through it, a few screaming their lungs to exhaustion. Suits of armor were coming down from the ceiling, nearly trampling both Moppet and Alexia.
"Okay, we're in Harry Potter, the last book, second to last chapter." Alexia muttered. "Final battle with Voldemort."
"Are we going to fight?" Moppet asked. Alexia had to force herself to not stare at Moppet; again, this wasn't her normal behavior.
"Yeah. Just try to stay unnoticed." Alexia warned.
This task would prove impossible, as a tall woman noticed both of them. "And who might you two be?" She asked. "You certainly don't look like students here."
"We're not. We're- ugh, Muggles." Alexia hated the word- It suggested being powerless.
"Then how'd you get here?" The woman insisted.
"When you make the place look like ruins, we're going to explore. Just something you should know." Alexia pointed out. "Besides, we just jumped through a disintegrating dimension, and need a place to stay."
"We can send you to London on the Hogwarts Express." The woman offered but Moppet snorted.
"Un-uh! We're fighting!" She countered. Alexia finally allowed her jaw to drop.
"Very well. But be careful!" The woman advised before going to help others. Alexia turned to Moppet.
"Could you fill me in on why you've suddenly gotten brave and are now a daredevil?" She asked.
"We have to save the dimensions to save Lane. That's all that matters!" Moppet answered.
Knowing the fight would only end badly if continued, Alexia nodded and they began to wait. It wasn't long before Lord Voldemort appeared.
"See this! Harry Potter is dead!" He cried. Nagini curled at his feet, resting.
"Can you shoot her?" Moppet asked.
In response Alexia whipped out an arrow and nocked her bow. She drew it back, evening her breathing. The moment her heartbeat was between, Alexia fired.
A scream shot through the air as Nagini's head was sliced off a seemingly invisible force, until the black arrow covered in blood bounced off the ground.
Immediately, Lord Voldemort's head shot up, and Alexia couldn't help but wave. "Hello. I'm guessing you're surprised!" She called, jumping down.
"Who dares to defy Lord Voldemort?" He asked.
"A muggle. Yeah, the being you think is powerless just destroyed your last Horcrux. Eat it, doofus!" Alexia spat.
"Do not insult the Dark Lord!" Bellatrix countered.
"Yeah, yeah, shut up already." Alexia told her. "It doesn't matter who you are, just how hard you fight!"
Taking a cue from her, the people fighting for Hogwarts charged. Moppet noticed Harry rise and slip into his invisibility cloak. Alexia managed to dodge death spells and get back to Moppet, who was fighting wand with claws.
"How're you holding up?" Alexia asked, sending a wave of water towards Death Eaters.
"Fine." Moppet answered. "Where's Harry? If he doesn't appear soon, we're going to be in deep trouble."
Lord Voldemort was fighting three wizards at once. Neither side was winning, but Voldemort beginning to gain a slight edge. Aiming carefully once again, Alexia held her breath and fired one last arrow.
There was a soft rattle as the Elder Wand, broken in two,*Yes. You really think a razor sharp steel arrowhead can't snap through a thin piece of wood? Voldemort wasn't even the true master of the Elder Wand, for crying out loud!* settled on the ground, and Lord Voldemort opened his mouth to scream.
He never got the chance. The wand erupted and all the other wands in the castle along with it. By the time the explosions stopped, Alexia and Moppet were the only ones left standing. The others were all dead, lying unmoving on the floor, most of the bodies mutated from the multiple blasts.
"Moppet!" Alexia cried, crawling out of the rubble surrounding her.
"I'm over here!" Moppet called, huddling by the doors. "What happened?"
Alexia looked at the bodies, her expression blank, but her emotions running wild. "Genocide. All because I interfered." She answered, swallowing.
"But you saved the world!" Moppet insisted, but did a double take when Alexia looked at her.
Her eyes were cold, sad, and most importantly had aged in less than 24 hours. "It would have been saved regardless. If we had stepped out, nothing would have changed." Alexia said quietly.
Moppet stayed silent until she noticed a glimmer of light. "Look, what's that?" She asked, trying to change the subject. It was coming from behind a curtain.
Pulling it back, Alexia and Moppet saw another dimensional portal. "Do we take it?" Moppet looked at Alexia questionably.
"What choice do we have?" Alexia asked motioning to the floor, as the dimension was beginning to disintegrate.
Nodding, Moppet walked into the portal. Alexia waited and waited for it to close, leaving her behind, but after thirty seconds and nothing happened, she sighed and walked through.
Okay, I'm officially crossing a line I hoped I would never have to cross- IF YOU GUYS CAN'T REVIEW THIS ONE CHAPTER I'M STOPPING HERE AND NOW. Seriously, how hard is to tell me whether it sucks or is fine? AND I MEAN MORE THAN JUST ONE PERSON!
