The Ancients Revival

Previously:

"I think that is reasonable Miss Cardigan, is your sister going with you?" he asks.

"I don't know and I don't care!" Emma replied with an empty heart.

"As you wish, you may leave right away if you desire!" Dumbledore says.

Emma nods and leaves the head office. Ounces down the steps she disappears to her dorm room.

Dumbledore watches as she leaves knowing that both girls would leave the castle that day.

ChapterEighteen

Julia had gone strait to her spacious attic back at home. She knew no one would find her there, she had put all her magic and know how into protecting it from others.

Not only was it password protected but the snake carved into the door only new her voice, any others it was forbidden for even acknowledging. She had no door handle just a lock on the door. And around her neck was the key, an old fashioned one.

She looked around her room; the walls were back with invisible writing on it. When you turned out her lights and turned on her black light glowing writing covered every inch of the walls.

The rug was a dark red like fluffy fur type rug. She crossed to her System on her right, easily avoiding the dark cherry black Chinese table in the center of her room. She waved her hand and the door closed blocking the wooden staircase of the attic. With another wave and charms and locks sealed into the door.

She looked at all her CD's that lined on either side of the unit. She selected five bands, LinkinPark, Nirvana, Marlyn Manson, The Missfits and Type o Negative.

She walked to the middle of the wall and turned on her system and inserted the Cd's and walked to a mirror and table on the other side by her bed. She sat down on her stool and picked up her brush before concentrating on Draco.

'Draco? You there?' she thought

'Yup, you bet your sorry ass I Am.' he replied hotly.

'What bit you in the ass and died?' she asked with a giggle

'Some one...who shall be nameless...'coughEmmacough 'came up to me and asked where you were. I had to calm them down and assure them you would speak to them. They were in a right huff ya know.'

'Ahh, Emma came to see you. What did she want? Probably to say how I made the whole thing up and I just want to get at her. Stupid bint. Dam, I hate her some times. But she's still my sister and I'll always love her. But she never listens to reason. ARGH.'

'Hey, calm down love. Things will be fine. She's off to see your parents now. She wants to see if you're telling the truth. Personally I think deep down she knows you would never do this, it's just way too low for even the like of you.' he replied with a mental grin.

'Yeah, but when she does realize it, I will make her beg for my forgiveness. It won't come cheep.'

She waved her hand and her favorite song came on. It was a song by London after Midnight called "Nightmare".

She put her hair up into a ponytail and went over to her bed against the wall to her right. A window just above it had black curtains with dark green trim to match the dark red.

She sighed and looked up to her ceiling; it had quotes from songs and the names of songs, artists and bands over the years since she had become a Goth.

'I'm tired Draco. Maybe we can talk again tomorrow? I'm gonna go and see mum and dad later when Emma isn't around.'

'Sure, get some sleep hun. Talk to you tomorrow.' he replied and the link went dead.

She looked around her room; she remembered when she brought Draco in here. They had sat on her bean bags in the corner on the opposite side of her bed. It was like a little nook and the wall was covered in books of all kinds.

She shook her head and concentrated on the music. It boomed through out her room like a base boost system on full blast in a car. But the beauty if it was no one else could hear it. The ultimate room she called this, her hide away, her sanctuary.

She turned on her side and closed her eyes to let a light sleep befall her.

Emma had gone straight to her dorm room. And when she noticed Julia wasn't there she had gotten on a pair of black denim over alls and a pink ling sleeve shirt. She grabbed her black 'Bum 10' jacket and folded it over her arms.

She was mad and wanted to confront Julia before she went. And if it was a prank then so help her; she would make Slytherin seem like Hufflepuffs.

But upon reaching Draco's room she had discovered a sleepy Draco and no Julia in sight. She stormed away after her questions and disappeared in back smoke.

She reappeared moments later in a dark corner of Saint Mongos. She went up to the desk and waited in the line.

'I'm here to see Elizabeth Cardigan Snape.' she replied.

'Well that's the fourth floor, room 450.' said the welcome witch and turned to the next person.

Emma flew up the steps with lightning speed, which was really a run. She passed door after door till she reached 450 and opened the door slowly.

'Mom?' she called.

No one answered. She went further into the room and closed the door behind her with a soft click. The lights came on in a dim setting. She looked at her mother, she lie on the bed with tube in her mouth that was hooked up to a floating oxygen bubble.

Her head was wrapped in gauze and so were her arms and neck. She moved closer and felt tears prickle at here eyes. This wasn't supposed to happen, they were adults this was her mom, and she was strong.

But here she lies on support and covered in gauze. She sat down in a chair at her side and went to hold her hand but stopped. A finger poked out of the gauze and it was horrible.

Her tears flowed UN checked, she had been burned, and magic could be a cruel thing at times.

'You must be in pain; it must have hurt a lot. But dad wouldn't do this. He loves us all. How could this happen, I thought maybe you and dad could handle yourself, but now...maybe they are more ruthless than I thought?' she asked her still mother.

She lowered her head to the bed and cried, oh how she wished Julia were here...She would know what to do.

'I'm sorry Jules, I am so, so sorry. This is my entire fault but who would be better to risk, mum and dad or Harry? How could I chose? JULIAAAAAAAAAAA!' she screamed into the emptiness creeping into her heart.

'I'll just have to do as told. Maybe if I told Harry what I would be doing he could do research and find out what old snake face wants? Yes, then fight it in the end, that way everyone will be safe.'

'Julia?' sob 'Please, I need you sister. Please answer me.' she cried.

'Emm?' came her reply.

'Sister, I am so sorry I thought so ill of you. I know you would never sink so low. Please forgive me...I...I don't want to chose between my friend and my family. I mean I...I think I like him Jules. I think we have a chance, I can see it in his eyes when he looks at me. I need help, do I help you and in the end mom and dad live or do I let my family die and save Harry?'

'You can do both. Help me, and tell the trio the important stuff so they can prepare for it and research a cure or what ever. You will be helping keep both him and our family safe. ... But if you tell any one I came up with it I will deny it totally.' she replied.

'Thanks I needed that. You going to come and see mom?'

'How is she?' she asked after she appeared beside her sister.

'Not good, looks like they kept her locked in fire for a long time. By the bandage on her head I'd say they cursed her and she fell back and hit it on a book shelf. She must have been screaming and tore her throat that's why they have the tube in.' came her soft reply.

Julia put her hand on her sister's shoulder and squeezed. She pulled up a chair and sat down beside her. She drew her little sister to her and hugged her desperately.

'We'll find a way to free dad and help mum, don't worry. Uncle Sev will help us, I know he will.' she consoled.

'I say we do like they want, for now. But we get our revenge or this, bring all the Snape snarkyness and power on his head and revenge our family. But just less known to them hey sister?' she asked, a dark gleam in her eyes.

'Yes, sister. Sisters united, Snape sisters, and we will show them and the world what Snape twins are truly capable of.' she grinned back.

Julia grabbed Emma's hand and left hand in her right. She smiled and kissed her sister's head and just sat there with her sister, watching over their mother for a time.
