Chapter : 4

Frona pulled her long burgundy hair back in a ponytail as she walked down the long corridor, looking for her husband, who seemed to have disappeared after their clan meeting, Harry and Ginny left them in charge, it was now their job to keep everyone in line, and her husband has disappeared on her. Yet again, he seemed to be doing that a lot lately.

Frona and Daniel at first had their doubts on if someone as young as Harry could be a good house leader, and if Ginny could be a good queen, two people for the male and female vampires to look up to, to want to follow, but so far they proved themselves, earning the respect of most the clan almost instantly, even before Ginny became a vampire, the younger vampire girls we wanting to act like her, dress like her, follow her. And everyone else had been already calling her queen: Which was a good thing; being the house of the fighters of the clan, the ones sent out to do all the battles, fights, and dirty work, they needed a leader and queen people trusts and follow, because Frona had no doubt they would soon be in the biggest battle they have ever fought.

"There you-what on earth are you doing?"

Frona had turned into an open doorway and caught sight of her husband, Daniel was sitting behind a long wooden table, with what looked like a very old and dusty potions book laid out in front of him, and vials and potion stuff all around him Frona raised one eyebrow.

"Daniel, what are you doing?" Frona demanded again. This time he looked up at her.

"Trying to make a potion." Daniel replied. "I had this thought, that if the werewolves can invent a potion to change when there isn't a full moon, I thought maybe we can invent one that allows vampires to go out in the sunlight."

"Daniel, sweetie." Frona said, walking on in the room. "Do I have to remind you, that you are a vampire not a wizard, nor have you ever been a wizard."

Daniel raised both his eyebrows at her. "Since when do you have to be a wizard to mix a bunch of plants and creature parts together?"

Frona laughed a little and sat down in the chair across from Daniel. "Good point, darling."

Daniel rolled his eye at his wife with a small smile on his face, before going back to the book, and turning the page.

"There has to be a way."

"Why do you even care?" Frona asked, lifting a vial of some kind of bright yellow looking potion and looking at it with a frown. "Us vampires have been happy being night creatures for millions and millions of years. Why change it now?"

"For one: Do you think Voldemort and his Death Eaters will just pop out at night and make it easy for us to get them?" Daniel asked. "Plus, when we have that final battle, it could last for days, and the sun suddenly coming up while we are fighting would not be a good thing."

Frona sighed. "This is a first."

"What is, honey?" Daniel asked.

"You being the one with your nose stuck in a book." Frona teased. She sat the vial back down and blow. "I'm bored."

"Mm." Daniel said, not really listening, Frona rolled her eyes. "If you're bored then help me."

"Now why would I want to do that?" Frona smirked.

"Because you love me." Daniel said. "And..I asked nicely."

"Alright, I guess I can." Frona got up and carried her chair around the table and sat it next to Daniel. "You do make good points, though, the potion will have to be able to last long or.." Frona frowned in thought, chewing on her lip.

"I know." Daniel said. "There is one more problem." He looked up from his book and looked at his wife. "How are we going to know if it works, someone will have to take some and go out in sunlight."

"I'll do it." Frona said. Daniel frowned at her.

"No." He said. "Too dangerous." He added when she opened her mouth to argue. "You know I don't tell you want to do or boss you around, but there is no way in hell I will allow you to take a risk like that."

Frona just shrugged with a smirk on her face, giving Daniel a feeling she only said that to get him all worked up.

"We'll turn a creature or something." Daniel said. Frona nodded and took the book from him and started flipping through, being the big reader out the two it would be more likely she can find something to make it work.

"Wonder what Harry and the others are doing right now." Daniel commented, as he watched Frona turn a page, she shrugged.

"We're never going to find another Horcrux." Caleb cried, he was lying on his back listening to rain hit the top of their tent. Sophia rolled her eyes.

"Way to think positive." Harry mumbled from his place on the floor not far from him, next to him Ginny laid asleep, with her head in Harry's lap. They would have been out searching for more Horcrux but, well, they ran out of places to search.

'If Voldmort's body was already destroyed once and he was weakened, couldn't we, you know, destroy his new body? Weaken him, and then if we have we can find his soul pieces?" Caleb demanded.

"We can't." Harry said.

"Why not?" Caleb demanded.

"For one there is no way we could get that close to Voldmort right now." Sophia said. "And two, he's too powerful."

Caleb growled and slammed his head onto the ground. "I like to struggle the person who wrote that book on Horcruxes."

Harry snorted. "You and I both."

Their Horcrux hunt had not been going well, they've killed more werewolves than finding Horcruxes, and other than that they're little trip had been nothing but hunting creatures for blood, looking stuff up hoping to find something useful, sitting around in a tent, sleeping during the day, and being bored.

"What are you looking for?" Harry asked Sophia. She was flipping through an old book, with a look that told Harry she wasn't finding what she was looking for. Lately every time they had come to a new place to put up their tent and hide out, Sophia has went to town for a few hours and then comes back with only books. Leaving Caleb and Harry very confused.

Caleb frowned at his wife. "Yeah, Sophia, why have you been barring your nose in books lately?"

Sophia didn't answer at first, she just continued going through her book, then after a moment slammed it closed and tossed it across the tent, startling Ginny wake as she did so.

"Sorry," She said to the confused Ginny, as she sat up and rubbed her eyes. Sophia then looked at Harry, then Caleb and sighed.

"You two, remember Bill and Fleur's wedding right?" She asked, they both nodded, a month before Harry and Ginny's wedding, Bill and Fleur threw their own wedding, at night, since Bill wanted his only sister to be apart of it, Fleur had agreed thinking it would be more romantic marring under the stars.

"What about it?" Ginny asked.

"Your friend Luna." Sophia said, she said smiling slightly, Sophia had found Luna amusing, Caleb had thought she was very weird "Her dad was wearing this necklace, it had this symbol on it, a rectangle with an eye in the middle, I can't help, but think I have seen that symbol before, that it might mean something: Anyway, as of late I haven't been able to get it out of my head. I know it from somewhere, I know I do." she frowned and looked down at the pile of books by her legs she had yet to read. She picked on up and flipped through it.

"I saw that necklace." Ginny said. "It was a bit weird, but I wouldn't worry too much about it, Sophie, it was probably just a symbol of one their crazy creatures."

Harry snorted. "Like a cross-section of the head of a Crumble-Horned Snorkack."

Sophia smiled slightly, before shaking her head.

"That Krum bloke said it was Grindelwald's sign." Caleb said. Harry gave him a funny look.

"The dark wizard Dumbledore defeated?" Ginny demanded.

"When did you talk to Victor Krum?" Harry asked.

"At Bill's wedding." Caleb answered. "I had to keep an eye on him, he kept staring at girls he shouldn't have stared at."

"Like who?" Harry asked.

Sophia rolled her eyes. "He's talking about Ginny and I, Caleb and him almost got in a fight over it. Anyway," She added as a growl came from Harry's throat. "He and the rest of the boys at Durmstrang might believe that and maybe old Grindelwald might even had covered in the walls at Durmstrang when he went there, but the symbol is older than that...much older, I just wished..."

She stopped talking and looked back down at the books, then looked back up. "I want to go to Godric's Hallow. I want to speak to Bathilda Bagshot."

"The women who wrote the History of Magic book?" Ginny asked. Sophia nodded.

"Our cabin at Goldric's Hallow wasn't far from her's, Mum and I use to go over and help her clean her house when she started getting too old to remember cleaning spells." Sophia said. "There is a chance she might remember me and would like to help."

"She's still alive?" Harry demanded. "She would have to be the eldest witch in the world."

"As far as I know she is." Sophia said. "I never saw anything about her death, and she was so well-known it would have been in the wizard paper at least."

"But... if she was already losing her memory when you were younger, what makes you think she remembers anything now?" Caleb demanded, sitting up.

"Ms. Bagshot only was forgetting stuff like spells and potions, what she was supposed to do that day." Sophia explained. "She somehow remembered her history, and besides if she doesn't now, she had books and papers, even old scrolls that had it's all written in, if anyone has anything about that symbol, about what it truly was, or what it means, it would be Ms. Bagshot."

"Why do you care so much?" Harry asked. "It's just a symbol."

Sophia shook her head." I know it from somewhere, I know I do. It's important I have this feeling it has something to do with what Voldemort's up to."

Recently the four of them had found out that Voldemort had disappeared over seas somewhere, searching for something, what they didn't know, but a few people have ended up dead for his search, so whatever he was looking for he was no more closer to finding it as they were to finding out what he's searching for."

"How can you possibly know that when we don't even know what Voldemort is doing?" Caleb demanded.

"It's a feeling I have." Sophia mumbled.

"We, if her instincts anything like Harry's we should check it out." Ginny said, standing, she walked over to the tent flap and opened it just an inch and peeped out. "Sun's finally gone down."

"Good," Caleb stood and stretched. "Are we going to hunt before we go or should we just take off now?"

"Take off now." Sophia said, closing her book and standing. "Before it gets too late, we can hunt after we speak to Bathilda Bagshot."

"Am in." Caleb said, jumping up. "As long as it's somewhere to go, am in."

"I don't know." Harry said, chewing on his lower lip with his fang, drawing blood. Ginny, Sophia, and Caleb all look down at him, out of the four, he was the only one not standing yet.

"What?" Sophia demanded. Harry looked up at his sister and shook his head, before standing. "What?"

"I think it's a bad idea." He said. Sophia frowned at him.

"Why?"

Harry shrugged. "It's just a feeling, I don't think going is a good idea." Ginny now frowned, knowing Harry's feeling were right, but also, that Sophia was right about trying to find out about this symbol.

"We're going to see a little old lady, what could go wrong." Caleb patted Harry on the back. "It's somewhere to go."

Harry looked at Ginny, they shared a look, but both said nothing. After a moment he turned away, and looked back at Sophia.

"Fine." He said. "We'll go, but Caleb and I will be standing guard outside, while you and Ginny go in and talk to Ms. Bagshot."

"Okay." Sophia said, not arguing since it was getting her where she wanted to go. So, as fast as vampires could, (which was pretty fast) they packed up their stuff, took down the tent, and all held hands as Harry, and Sophia apparated them away.

They appeared just right in the middle of a small road, with little cottages on either side of the street. Harry looked longingly at the small cemetery at the end of the street before turned away and looking at his sister.

"So...remember which house is hers?" He asked.

Sophia said nothing, just nodded, and after glancing toward the cemetery herself, turned and started walking in the opposite detraction. They paid no mind to the other cottages as they followed Sophia down the road. When they reached the cottage that belong to Bathida Bagshot, Harry and Caleb stood by the curve on the street watching up and down the road as Ginny and Sophia walked up to the door.

"Think she's still up?" Ginny asked, as Sophia knocked on the door, they waited and nothing. Sophia frowned and knocked again, this time so hard the door popped open a bit. Sophia frowned and opened it wider and peeped in, it was dark and dusty, with a moldy type smell.

Sophia looked back at Ginny, she gave a nod, hand going in her pocket where her wand was then followed Sophia in. Glancing back once at Harry and Caleb who was still watching up and down the street.

"Maybe Harry was right." Ginny said. As Sophia shut the door, putting them in total darkness, but nether of them noticed with their vampire sight.

"Or she has passed one." Sophia said. "I smell death." Ginny sniffed and nodded. "Not too old so she most have died recently and whoever was in charge of her affairs did not care enough to fool with the house and her stuff. Let's just look through all the books and stuff hopefully we find something useful."

Ginny nodded with a frown, but couldn't get the creepy feeling she suddenly had out of her mind, but put her wand away anyway so she could help Sophia search for what she was looking for.

Sophia began to look around, the long hall was full of shelves with old books, and stacks of old News Papers, and scrolls, so packed that most were falling off the shelves or already did. Pictures of historical places lined the walls, some covered by the tall shelves.

With their vampire speed it took Ginny and Sophia no time to check every book, scroll, and paper, they check just about every room on the first two floors then headed up to the attic.

The only thing different between the attic and the rest of the house was the vaulted ceiling, and a few trunks, but the moment Ginny and Sophia made it to the top the smell of death hit them hard. They glanced at each other, then their eyes landed on a large trunk with a pile of stuff thrown out like someone was in a hurry to hide something inside; slowly the two female vampires made their way to the trunk and slowly opened it. The sight inside made even them feel like they were going to be sick.

Folded up and stuffed inside was the decaying body of an old women Bathilda Bagshot.

"That's just gross." Ginny said, one hand on her stomach and the other on her mouth, she made face and looked away and Sophia slammed the lid shut. Then paused, and toned her vampire hearing to one noise, then looked at Ginny.

"A heart beat." She said. "Something alive is in this attic with us." Ginny frowned, and listened too.

"An animal of some kind." Ginny said. "Too small to be a human heart." She sniffed along with Sophia, they looked at each other and at the same time said.

"Snake."

Somewhere behind Sophia there was a loud crash, then a bang, and she jumped aside just in time, as a giant snake came jumping out of a dark corner, it snapped its massive fangs at her, missed, and it's tail came around hitting Ginny: She was knocked over another old turned and then down the attic stairs.

"Ginevra!" Sophia cried, jumping to her feet, she tried to see if her sister-in-law was fine, but the snake had other ideas. It brought its huge head around and knocked Sophia into a bookshelf against the wall, she fall to the ground and the self tipped over dozens of books, and stacks of old News Papers fell right on top of her.

Sophia growled as she slowly stood, knocking books off, the snake came at her again, but with her speed, she got out of the way, and jumped behind the snake, clawing at it from behind with her vampire claws, it turned its head around and gave a snake his, Sophia matched it with a hiss of her own as the sound of small footsteps running back up the stairs told her Ginny was alright and now rushing up to help. The snake heard her too, and as Ginny appeared at the top of the stairs it brought its head around and snapped at her: This time Ginny wasn't taken by surprise and ducked, then came back up with both hands and clawed at the snake's face as she gave out a hiss.

The giant snake raised half its body up and hissed out, but as it roared back, Sophia jumped and wrapped its her arms around what she guessed would be its neck, and took her other hand and dug her claws into the side of its face. Making it hiss out in pain, and threw Sophia back, she let go and fall to the floor, but immediately jumped back up to her feet.

Together Sophia and Ginny attacked the snake, moving so fast it couldn't keep up with them, they dodged, jumped and ducked every time the snake tried to attack, and came back with a stack against the snake.

Finally they had enough, and Sophia once again caught the snake raised up and grabbed it around the neck, as Ginny came at it and snuck her fangs deep into its flash, the snake gave out a hiss and threw Sophia back again, she hit the top of a trunk and fall off on the other side onto a pile of books. There was a loud scream like sound that came from the snake, its head swung around and hit Ginny knocking her aside, a green light shined from the snake it shook, then fall to the floor: dead and unmoving.

Sophia raised her head and began to stand as she did so her eyes fell on a book lying next to her: The Tales of Beedle the Bard. She picked the book up as footsteps came thundering up the stairs and as she and Ginny go to their feet, Harry and Caleb came bursting into the room. and from the looks of them they had been in a of fight of their own.

"We have to get out of." Harry said. "One of the Death Eaters we fought said Vold-" He stopped talking at the sight of the huge snake lying on the floor.

"Nagini." He said.

"What?" Caleb said frowning. He looked down at the snake. "Is that what attacked you two, Harry and I just had to kill a bunch of Death Eaters."

"Hang on." Ginny said, she looked at her husband. "That's Nagini? Voldmort's snake?" Harry nodded. "That means-"

"Another Horcrux down." Caleb cried. "Alright, that's our girls." He whooped and laughed. "Come on, Harry, look happier. Who else can say their wife took out Voldemort's giant monster snake."

Before Harry opened his mouth to say something when a loud gun shot like noise from outside made them jump.

"Who-"

"Voldemort." Harry said, just as the door was blasted open with magic. Sophia grabbed Caleb's arm, as Harry grabbed Ginny's and together they apparated away.

A.N. Sorry, it's been a while since I put up a chapter, I was busy moving and everything, hope this one was good and the fight, having them go to Godric's Hallow and end up killing Nagini, just popped into my head while I was writing this chapter. Next chapter will show what Teddy and Rigel are up to. And maybe if I can think of something what the order and Sirius and them are doing.
