I own nothing! I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters! I just own the Snape family members (except for Severus, of course), and the other OC's.
The plan had worked out perfectly, and Death Eaters had swarmed the castle. Severus himself had been forced to use the killing curse and had fled the scene with Draco in tow and Harry following behind desperately. Unfortunately, Harry had heard Snape yell out the killing curse, and had known who was atop the Astronomy tower at the same time for Kami knew why.
Kiru was fighting for her life, and used the Floo Network to go home and get away from Hogwarts, dragging a groggy and half-asleep Eileen behind her. When they got there, they closed the network off to everyone but Severus, knowing it was the safest option. Severus had appeared a few hours later after racing home to see if they'd made it out alive and in one piece. Chessie had gone and checked up in the hospital wing to help out, and was pretending perfectly that it came as a shock that her husband had killed the Headmaster. She helped heal in a "daze", and was "shocked" to find that her daughters were "missing". She knew what would undoubtedly happen now, and her husband would be instituted as the headmaster of Hogwarts, but wasn't about to tell anyone.
She, like Harry, attended Dumbledore's funeral. She recalled how kind he'd been to let her stay after he'd heard alongside the rest of the school that she was pregnant with Severus' child, and had set up the extremely powerful Fidelius Charms on 4 Privet Drive and 12 Privet Drive. Eileen was the secret keeper for the girls' hideout, and Kiru for the boys'. She knew that the girls were going on a trip and that there was no way in hell that Voldemort would be able to get his hands on them since they'd be out in Hyrule going through all the Temples, or otherwise engaged in fulfilling prophecies of their own.
She sighed in exasperation, knowing that the two small girls, who were sitting with the Slytherin house, were terrified and were no doubt being bullied by all the other children for what Severus had done in accordance to Dumbledore's plan. He'd even left a vial of memories behind, but was only to give Harry access to them if he made it into the boat shack to follow after Voldemort, and had kept it hidden very well with a powerful warding charm that would work and only allow a Gryffindor into the bottle, even if it was destroyed.
It was foolproof, she concluded as she headed over to pick up two very distraught family members of hers. Harry and Hermione were glaring at her, and she soon saw why her Horcrux was the last one to be destroyed: they'd be holding a grudge until they got their hands on that Penseive and Severus' memories, which wouldn't be happening anytime soon.
"Mom, what if they don't listen?" Kiru worried.
"They will," Chessie assured.
"No," the blonde Hylian said from behind them. "But they will. It's time, girls. Are you ready?"
"Not really," they said sheepishly. "We'd like one more summer with our mom and dad. Is that okay?"
"The longer you wait the more you'll have to train to catch up to the way you're supposed to be," he warned. "Don't worry – I've already recruited the sages from my world. It's up to the two of you to recruit the sages for your world."
"Oh. Okay," Kiru said unhappily. "But, will I be able to talk to someone first?"
"If that someone has a lightning shaped scar, then yes," Link said calmly. "He deserves to know the truth, but he'll hear it from Zelda or your father's memories. Whichever comes first, and I really don't care which. Come."
The two girls looked back sadly as they stepped through the portal that led to this supposed land of Hyrule, and they now knew what their parents meant by all the legends. This was real, and they were really major participants in their own insane prophecy. They winced as they went into the ancient areas of Hyrule for the first time. Eileen immediately got the feeling that she didn't belong.
Okay, so there's the end of that book. I look forward to giving you the installment of the seventh book, even if it will be extremely difficult to do and keep up with.
Reviews? Pretty please?
