Okay now before people start having a major flame fest as what normally happens (contains silent sniff) I have been quite long updating. Hopefully you shall all forgive me and read this and then review. Please!!!!
Inevitable
Draco's P.O.V
I was still sitting on the same boulder that I had been doing for, oh I don't know, what seemed like hours now. Serenity was still in her little corner of the cave, and of course with her back to me I could see the rebellious lonely blond streak. She seemed to be completely oblivious of the not so quiet noises coming from the entrance to our temporary home. I had noticed the hushed voices a few minutes ago; it was as thought if I ignored them they would just simply go away. However this was of course the great Harry Potter coming for his revenge. I just wondered what had taken him so long.
'Serenity, can you come over here for me please.'
She turned around to face me with those questioning eyes of hers. Of course she came over to me, even if it was slow and awkward.
'They're here Seren'
She looked out towards the opening and instantly her face just seemed to fall if that is even a real phrase. She looked at me, and it seemed as if she understood with the wisdom I surely had never given her. She simply nodded, and placed her hands on my stone cold face.
'Hopefully, once this is all over and they have found what they are looking for, you my lost father will me here when I return. I do not want to leave you father, I shall watch from afar and come to your aid. As any Malfoy daughter would do for her father.'
With that she walked quietly to the back of the cave hidden by stones and moss and vanished into our new walls. She left with me ice falling down my already ice framed cheeks. I rose, faced out towards the moon filled sky, and I waited.
'This may be my last night, and I may not survive any of this, but I shall go out with a bang if I can control my demise. I shall go out like a true Malfoy.'
And from a dark corner of the cave, I could here my little girl. I could here my little girl's tears hitting the mud covered floor.
Harry's P.O.V
We both entered the cave, and it seemed so still at first that I thought the spell must have been wrong after all. I walked in first, as the true heroic boy inside me wanted me to do, and I allowed my war strained instincts to tell me what to do.
'I see you have noticed my humble abode is rather like a cave. You will not hold this against me now will you, Potter?'
I froze, and I turned quietly not wanting to see who or what was bound to be standing there. Of course it was him though I had no need to turn to confirm that for my grief decayed imagination.
'You know why I am here Malfoy.'
'Oh I have a few ideas my most glorified friend, but do give your future murder victims pleasure, in telling me perhaps?'
I ran towards him, but a hand held me back. I looked towards it, and I knew that small pale hand with a scar on his knuckle from when he fell out of a tree.
'Please dad, let me tell him?'
My little boy stepped forward, with his wand hidden at the back of his jumper. My little boy, with a straight back and fists clenched. My grown son, watching his brother's murderer with eyes I once used on my parent's murder.
'You, Mr Malfoy, past death eater, past prize idiot of my own fathers and mothers childhood, are the cold blooded murderer of my own brother. You Mr Malfoy, are about to suffer by my own family's hands. We are here now…….'
Here he paused mid speech, with obvious emotion stopping him from speaking. I placed my hand on his small thin shoulder, and raised my head in order to stare Malfoy in the eye. It achieved the desired affect as his once grand stature and rod like back hunched over.
'We are here……for Charlie. Oh and just so that you know, we are here courtesy of your little daughter.
At this his eye brows raised almost as high as his receding (oh how I love karma), but then movement came from behind him. My wand was automatically raised as I saw Ginny raise hers right by the side of mine.
'Who is there Malfoy?'
I did not need to here his answer, as they ran towards me with outstretched arms for Malfoy.
It was then that I saw the jet of green light go towards Malfoy, but a small little body fly in front of it. It was then that I saw a little lifeless body hit the ground with their flowing blond hair floating behind her. It was then that my son ran towards her, and fell onto his naïve knees, and simply sobbed.
'I am so sorry, I didn't mean……I didn't even see…..o god….Seren….wake up….WAKE UP...don't you dare do this to me….Seren…please….'
I ran over to my little boy crying over his best friend, and instantly went to protect him from a nearing Malfoy.
'Potter move out of the way now! You can no longer protect your little boy. He killed my daughter, and I have no concern if he meant it or not. He killed me daughter Potter! Now move!'
A scream came from behind him, and then his eyes rolled back in his head as he hit the ground face first into the dirt. He fell, and revealed my wife behind me with a dumbstruck look on her face. Her wand was still raised as thought in stone, and her mouth remained open as though still saying her spell'
'HE KILLED YOUR DAUGHTER DID HE………YOU KILLED MY FUCKING SON!!!!'
Then she collapsed, but not before a swarm of people came out of seemingly no where and held her to save her hurting herself. The woman who had held her raised her face towards me……..my little Molly. She held her mother, and gave me the look of uttermost confusion. With no words exchanged, we both knew what had happened.
I turned around, and I saw my son still kneeling in front of Seren. He eyes were open, but she was fading ever more. His face was resting next to hers, and they were whispering, small little secrets between separating friends.
'Do you remember….when we would sit in room….and….Charlie…..would come in running….with some chocolate frogs for…us but…….he hadn't realised they were all melted…….'
My little boy was crying, with her hands still in his hands, but now no movement were in her eyes.
'James, she has gone. You need to let go of her hands now….'
'Mr Potter, with all respect, I have not died yet'
We both looked downwards and we both saw it. Her once tan face turning pale framed with blond tresses. Her spark was ebbing though, and I think even she knew her time was on loan.
'James just look at me. This is….all too much for me to explain. Remember this though, that no matter what blood runs in me, I am still Serenity. I am still that little girl who you held on her bed when she needed you. I am still that girl that loves you, no matter where I might be going right now. I am still Serenity James, even if I can never be Serenity Potter…..'
Then she went, with all her secrets still contained within that little confused mind of hers.
I picked up my broken son, and took him towards his fainting mother. All of my poor children were there by now, along with there respective loved ones. My now grown up daughters were sitting on there knees around there mother, trying to ease her from her sleeping state. The men in their lives, poor Luna and Neville I thought, were on their phones to the ministry trying to get some aurors down in order to dispose of Malfoy's body.
My wife, who was now looking at me with hollow orbs, was lying down in the centre of the group….shaking. My boy, looking completely alone was no longer even crying. I had no words….I just had no words for any of them.
I knelt down, and softly kissed my wife on her cheek. Then her eyes opened for once clearly and completely, and her brown spheres were directed at me. Her small fingers reached out for my forehead, and caressed the now fading scar.
'We did it for him didn't we?'
'Yes angel….we did'
'All for Charlie….Harry all for Charlie….'
I looked up at the group, and picked up Ginny knowing there would be no chance of her walking out herself.
'Enough now…….enough now……
Well now then you lot tell me what did you think. That is not the last chapter in my sequel either….oh the ending I have for you all….
Now read and review please…..
