I'm sorry if the last chapter was a bit confusing, but this one should make up for it. A darker side of Pan is released, and her magic intensifies on her ex-stepfather and uncle. Harry's going raving mad and the two Weasley women had better know how to beg for mercy.
Enjoy!
Somewhere in a shack outside Devon:
Pan had been stuck in a rundown old shack for almost two and a half days already. She was bound and restrained to a cold stone wall with her arms chained above her head and her feet to a large steel ball. Rodolphus and Rabastan had not been merciful on her, they had taunted her, beat her but not severely, and on top of it one of them caught on that her magic level had increased slightly.
'Harry, where are you? I need you please come soon.' The whole time she'd been there she had caught on that this was probably an old cellar of a church or an old manor. She had seen pictures of ones like this in history books when she was a kid. She also knew that the Lestrange brothers couldn't have pulled this off themselves, they were too dimwitted to even try; they had to have help, and Pan had an idea of whom.
'I will get her for this, so help me God I will kill her for this if I have to.' She was seething with rage and if anyone besides her would know she could get as deadly as her mother Bellatrix. Pan wouldn't let anyone get in the way of her own happiness, especially when she was expecting.
She was pregnant, almost three months along. Sadly she couldn't tell Harry because her plans had been halted by those ingrates. Thankfully her child hadn't been harmed, but she refused to let anyone know just yet for it would put them both in danger.
"Whatcha think brother?" Pan's head jerked up at the voice outside her cell. "Should we take her now?"
"No not yet, the woman said to wait until after sunset. By then the boy and that girl of hers will have tied the knot."
'Tied the knot? Ginny and Molly I knew they were behind this.' She tried to lean in a bit to hear more.
"In return for our services we get one hundred galleons and Pandora is mine to have."
"And what of the baby boy brother?" a laugh was heard.
"She can keep him; he'll make a fitting slave when he's older." All Pan could see was red, but she managed to calm down since she already knew how to free herself from mere prison chains, courtesy of her adopted mother's old stories. "She'll make a good wife wouldn't you say?"
"Most definitely, but come one let's at least have some fun before we take her? Sunset's almost on us." Oh perfect, good timing with the letch.
"Very well, but don't be too rough with her, that's my job." She heard Rodolphus sneer. A few clicks of locks came and the two brothers walked in looking smug as ever. "Almost time dear Pan, we've just received word that Potter is going to settle out with the deal."
"What deal?" she had a feeling what, but she needed to know fully.
"Oh just a little something the Weasley women pulled together, you see we wouldn't have done this without them. We were actually surprised when they summoned us two months ago." Pan's eyes widened. "We made a little deal, they obviously wanted Potter because they saw you unfit as a wife for him; they offered us one hundred galleons to abduct you and keep you for three straight days so Potter would marry Ginny Weasley. Once it's done we're to let you see him one more time in the chapel just above us, and then you belong to me." Pan glared.
"You won't get away with this, and neither will they." Rabastan smirked and stroked her side making her skin crawl. "Don't touch me!"
"Sorry love, but you're ours now and we can do with you as we please."
"I belong to no one, above all definitely not you." He smiled wickedly and gripped her chin.
"Sorry girl, but you will after tonight." He leaned in and roughly kissed her lips. In a brief second Pan saw red again and slipped out of her chains before grabbing Rodolphus's wand from his cloak.
"Stupefy!" he was blown back towards the opposite wall. Rabastan shot a stunner but as it almost struck her a barrier came up and deflected it at him. Pan held her stomach and rubbed it tenderly. 'Thank you my child.' Thinking quickly she marched over to the stunned but awake Rodolphus and shoved the wand into his neck.
"B-Bitch…" he growled and she jammed it harder in his neck.
"You said they're doing this tonight, in this chapel above us?" he spit in her face, and with a nasty glare she slapped him across the jaw. "Answer me now Lestrange or you will suffer." Rodolphus flinched at her.
"Y-Yes…up above…"
"Now was that so hard?" she mocked him in a high-pitched girly voice. "I'll be taking this if you don't mind, seeing as you left mine at my home." She was about to leave, when something shiny in Rabastan's robe pocket caught her eye. "What's this?" Carefully pulling it out she found a long, sharp, silver kitchen knife that'd been freshly sharpened; she waved it in front of Rodolphus and he gulped loudly.
"P-Pan now let's not…"
"Were you planning on using this on me?" she snarled at him. When he didn't answer she cut into his cheek. "Answer me or the next one goes on your eye."
"Yes you bitch! I wanted to use it on you, but whatever you can just go and save your husband and lock us and the Weasley women up in Azkaban like the goody-two-shoes you are!" he growled but then shrunk in his spot when Pan gave a wicked smirk and fingered the knife's sharp blade.
"What makes you think I'm like that? Do you really think I'm that soft-hearted?" he snarled at her.
"You're a bloody whore and everyone should know it! You might as well try and play the hero Pandora because a good show is all you'll ever be good for!" she cut his face again, deeper that time with a giggle.
"You should watch what you're saying, I am my mother's daughter after all." He smirked an ugly smirk.
"I know you too well, you won't do anything serious. You'll just scare me, then bruise me a little, and then you'll go running to your beloved Potter the Boy Who Lived! Now get on with it!" she fingered the blade again, and licked the small amount of blood clean off.
"Oh no Roddy…" she let the point glide down his chest and stopped at his navel. "I have something better in mind." She kissed the tip and raised the knife above his head.
Outside the chapel:
Harry had come to the chapel at the appropriate time like Ginny had asked. He had sent a reply saying when he'd come, and that he would be alone; but only for Pan's sake did he hope he wouldn't lose control and risk harming her.
'I'm coming for you Pan, just wait for me.'
Growling inwardly he pushed open the large doors of the church and stepped inside. At the front of the chapel stood Ginny and Molly; Ginny wore a long, white dress and veil holding a bouquet of roses in her hands, and Molly was dressed in special robes like that of a minister.
"Harry my love; I'm so glad you made it." Harry just nodded and made his way over to the altar.
"Where's Pan?"
"She's safe for now, but don't forget our deal Harry." Molly said with such false cheer she reminded Harry of Dolores Umbridge. "Hand over your wand." Harry did as so and Molly held onto it with her own.
"If she's harmed in any way…"
"Oh don't worry Harry; she'll be freed once this is done. Now join hands you two." Ginny took one of his hands into her own and Molly began the ceremony.
"Dearly beloved we're gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. They've been in love for years, and it is on this day in this church that they bond their eternal love for each other forever."
'Just get on to the objection part.'
"If anyone here has any objections to why these two shall not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." Harry opened his mouth to speak but then a loud creak stopped him. The three turned and gasped at the sight in the doorway.
"I object!" it was Pan, and she was covered in blood. Ginny dropped her bouquet and stood behind Harry.
"Mother?" she looked at Molly who shook her head.
"That's impossible! How on earth did she get out?" Molly screeched. Pan walked forward slowly, and her hand Harry saw a dripping, bloody knife.
"Rodolphus and Rabastan tried to take the easy way out, so I taught them a little lesson I'm sure they'll never forget." She held up her bloody hands and Harry saw faint scratch marks on her palms. What in the hell had she done?
"Pan…are you alright?" she gave a horrid smirk, Harry nearly flinched away.
"I'm fine Harry, I've never been better." She smiled psychotically, and stroked the blade. "You should be more careful with whom you hire for kidnapping Molly, especially death eaters they can be very….deceitful." Harry could feel Ginny's fear getting strong, and he felt Molly's rage grow.
"I don't know how you freed yourself from that cell, but you won't get in the way this time." Pan gave off a loud, horrifying laugh at that; so loud it bounced off the walls and made Harry's eardrums twitch a little. "How dare you mock me!"
"I'm sorry Molly but it's just so funny how you're trying to be so tough here."
"You stupid girl, you have no business interrupting this ceremony! I will make sure you never do so again!" Pan laughed again.
"You should watch what you say Molly, you're not dealing with a preppy princess like your sweet little Ginny there. You're dealing with the daughter of the Dark Lord and Bellatrix Lestrange!" with that Pan fired a spell at Molly disarming her. Harry took his wand and went over to Pan standing in front of her.
"Harry no!" Ginny screamed. "Get away from her can't you see she's dangerous!"
"She's only like this because you tried to force me into a loveless marriage. You abducted my wife and she was nearly killed, your little plan has backfired." Ginny looked at him aghast and fell to her knees.
"It has?" Harry nodded and kissed Pan's bloody face.
"Indeed, you should know better than to anger my wife or me. We were an item once, but that's in the past and I was actually hoping we could be good friends but that's obviously never going to happen. I could never love you the way I love Pan and Gabriel, and I would never marry you even if you were the last woman on the planet!"
"B-But Harry I love you!" Harry shook his head and Pan held his shoulder, and stepped up cautiously holding her hands up to Ginny.
"You don't love him like you say you do Ginny, I know you think you do but you've got to let Harry go. You're still young you'll find someone else, we can put this behind us if you just let the ministry enroll you in therapy and rehabilitation." Ginny glared and shook her head as hot tears poured down her face.
"No! No I won't let him go! Harry is mine, he's mine!" she threw herself at Harry's feet and gripped tightly to his legs. "Harry please! Please don't go, I love you we belong together please!" she begged him and Harry tried to shake her off but she had a strong grip.
"Let go Ginny!" Harry shouted.
"NO! You're mine Harry; you're mine you can't be in love with that whore you're in love with me!"
"No I'm not now let go!" he tried shaking her off again. Her nails were digging into his leg; Pan gripped Ginny by the hair and held the knife up to her face.
"I tried to be nice to you Ginny, I warned you, I tried to make you understand but you are an absolute spoiled, conniving, conceited, vain, temperamental little brat! If you won't take mercy, then you don't deserve it." She was about to smack Ginny when she was thrown backwards into the wall. Harry watched as she crumpled to the floor holding her stomach, then turned to Molly who had her wand back in her hand.
"AGH!" Harry cried out and kicked Ginny away before beginning to duel Molly. The whole while she screamed obscenities but Harry toned her out as he heard Pan crying out in pain.
"You belong with Ginny Harry! She's meant for you, that girl over there doesn't deserve you!" Molly cried out and Harry disarmed her instantly. He stormed up to her and pointed his wand into her face with glaring hatred.
"You'll never hurt my wife again, this time I'll make sure of it!" he snarled and punched her in the face knocking her out cold. Ginny was on the floor unconscious as well; Harry petrified them both and then ran to Pan's side. "Darling, Pan what's wrong? What hurts?" she looked up at him with tears falling down her cheeks.
"Harry…the baby..!" he looked at her confused and then saw a slight bump under her bloodied dress. His eyes widened, that's what she'd wanted to tell him at the party! He quickly picked her up and disapparated them both to St. Mungo's.
"Help! Someone help!" he called and several medi-witches and healers came through.
"Mr. Potter what's wrong?"
"My wife is pregnant and she was hit with a stunner. She's in great pain please help her!"
"Alright! Get a stretcher down here quickly!" the head healer called and Pan was placed on the floating stretcher. She was taken into another room and Harry followed with the female healer asking him questions.
"Mr. Potter can you tell me exactly what happened?"
"Yes, about three days ago my wife was abducted and held hostage in a church outside Devon. I went to rescue her but when I got there she was covered in blood and after a fight began she was thrown into a wall and she bent over in pain. I didn't know what else to do so I brought her here."
"You did the right thing, please wait here we need to make sure she and the baby are alright. Oh shall I summon the minister?" Harry nodded.
"Yes please tell him to go to the old Baptist church outside Devon by the river. There should be four people restrained there, have them taken to Azkaban immediately." The healer nodded and left quickly leaving Harry alone in the room. 'Please be alright Pan, please be alright.' He silently prayed and sat down bowing his head.
An hour later:
Harry was still seated in the waiting room, and soon he heard someone coming down the hall towards him.
"Mr. Potter." He looked up and the same healer from before was in front of him.
"How is she? How's the baby?" she smiled.
"They're both just fine, they were very lucky that stunner could've been a lot worse. As for the blood, it's not hers. We asked her what happened when she came around and she said she'd covered herself in pig's blood to fool her abductors, which we fully tested and it's indeed pig's blood." Harry let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, thank you very much Miss…?"
"Alderson, Healer Marie Alderson Mr. Potter. Oh and if I may ask, would you like to know the gender of the baby?" Harry nodded. "You're having a girl Mr. Potter, congratulations." He shook her hand and she led him down to Pan's room. She was lying down on a hospital bed with her right hand bandaged up; he went to her side immediately and placed a hand on her face.
"Pan." She looked up at him and he took her into his arms. She let out a few slight sobs and he stroked her hair to relax her. "Shh, it's alright love. I'm right here, I'm right here." He kissed her gently on her head and held her closer.
"Oh Harry, I was so afraid back there. I thought we'd lose our baby…" he pulled her back and looked directly into her eyes.
"We didn't lose the baby Pan, the healer made sure. I'm just happy you're both safe and sound, and don't worry about Molly and Ginny or the Lestrange brothers. Kingsley and the rest have taken them to Azkaban." She relaxed at that.
"Healer Alderson, she said we're having a girl." Harry nodded and kissed Pan's lips. She kissed him back with gentle passion and their arms went around each other; the kiss lasted for several minutes until someone else came through the door.
"Oh Pan thank goodness!" they turned to see Narcissa come over and hug both of them in a death grip. Pan winced and she pulled back. "Sorry dear, I almost forgot. Are you hurt at all?"
"No Auntie I'm fine, so is my daughter." Narcissa's eyes widened and Pan lifted the cover off her slightly noticeable belly.
"You're pregnant, oh darling that's wonderful!" she hugged her again and kissed Harry's cheek. "I just spoke with Lucius, Molly and Ginny both tried to play innocent but it was obvious they were behind the whole thing. Rodolphus and Rabastan both claim they were hired for the job and tried to earn a deal."
"That's absurd, after what they almost did to Pan and my unborn child they're trying to get off!"
"Harry relax, they won't get anything close to a deal. Kingsley has the trial set for next week; he said he couldn't wait to show the justice you and Pan both deserve. Ivan and Hermione should be here soon, and they're bringing Gabriel." Harry saw Pan's eyes light up, three days without him and Gabriel must've been torture for her.
"Thank you Aunt Cissa, and if you don't mind please thank everyone else for me?" the woman smiled and kissed Pan's cheek again.
"Of course dear." And soon their brother and sister came through the door.
"Thank Godric you're both alright!" Hermione shouted collapsing into Ivan's arms. "Harry James Potter don't you ever scare me like that again!" Harry gave an innocent smile.
"I'm sorry Hermione but you know why I had to go alone."
"Even so you could've at least brought someone along, why being forced into a loveless, no a soulless bonding is absolutely horrifying! You could've been hurt or worse killed!"
"But I wasn't, and neither was Pan. I got there just as she was about to escape." Hermione and Ivan looked at Pan and she smirked.
"Well we're both glad the three of you are alright." Ivan said and Hermione looked at him. "Oh come on Hermione darling you can't tell?" he pointed at his sister's stomach and Hermione shrieked with joy.
"You too? Congratulations!"
"Whoa Hermione don't get too excited remember?" Ivan calmed her and she slugged him in the shoulder.
"Oh hush Ivan, I'm already in my second trimester. Pan this great news, our babies will be born around the same time and they can even go to school together."
"Yes that's great but where's Gabriel? Aunt Cissa said you had him." Pan looked worried but then Ivan pulled off a smile and out of nowhere appeared the little bouncing ball of joy.
"Mama!" he cried and Harry watched as Pan tearfully took him into her arms.
"Oh my baby, mama missed you so much!" Harry held them both to him and looked back at Hermione.
"Any news from Kingsley?" she nodded.
"He wants us all to give our testimonies, Lucius and Draco will appear as witnesses because they forgot to mention to us that they had caught Molly and Ginny trying to sneak into Potter Hall before it was fully renovated. They wanted to apologize for it but they'll be busy with the press since word of Pan's disappearance caused a stir." Harry understood, but now was the time for justice for his entire family. Ginny and Molly were not going to get away with this.
"Tell Kingsley we'll be there, and I will not hold back on either of them. Molly may have been like a mother to me but nothing can excuse this behavior of hers or Ginny."
"I agree with you there mate." Ron and Lavender came through the door. "Mum and Gin, they deserve a lot for what they've done. But, is there any chance you can be lenient with them, they are my family and I want them to earn what they've done in jail but they won't last in Azkaban."
"I think so." Pan spoke up.
"Pan?" Harry gave her a look and she nodded at him. "Alright, I can ask Kingsley for leniency but they're getting it hard at the trial." Ron nodded.
"Fair enough, and Pan I'm sorry about this. If I had known they'd try something like this I'd have dealt with it myself…with my brothers of course." They all laughed.
"It's alright Ron, it's all over now. And just so you know, I did beat the hell out of Ginny and Molly because I had to."
"That's fine, I might've done the same thing." Harry shook his head.
"I doubt it, you're too much of a mummy's boy." Everyone laughed and Harry sat back with his wife and son thinking about their new addition soon to come.
Next up come's the trial for all four monsters! I'm a little unclear on how to bring out Harry and Pan's outbursts so I'm up for a few ideas here. I love to hear what my viewers want to see, so if you wish leave it for me in a review.
Leave a good review for me!
Later!
