Author's Note: Chapter dedicated too: Razmend, Matt-hardy-lover-101, Forever Dreaming Grace, NewFanFictionFan, BamaRose, Purple Sunshine56, ItzKevin and Aileen Autarkeia. You guys are truly amazing! Never miss a beat in reviewing, especially when a new story is involved. Glad your enjoying it already. New characters revealed in this chapter. Oh; and apologies in advance if these new chapters seem a little dark and depressing, year 6 always did have that theme about it, mostly because the war is upon them. But I wont carry it on too much.

Author's Note Two: Addressing Itzkevin97 this story was changed back to Fred/Riley back in 'The Rebellion Begins' I liked Adrian/Riley too, but Fred and Riley have more chemistry.

Enjoy.

The Unbreakable Vow

Reflected in the glass of a tall office building, the brooding storm clouds settled over the city of London. Dean Spirit, ex-husband of Carol Spirit, and father of two; sat at a curving table in the meeting room along with his fellow colleagues looked up at the window as thunder rumbled and lightning clashed brightly across the dimming sky. Quietly pushing his seat backwards, he stood and moved towards the slanting windows of the top floor and peered out onto the city below; the black menacing clouds drifting closer and closer to his place of work.

What is going on? he thought, looking around expectantly. It was the middle of August, there was no probable reason for there to be Thunderstorms at this time of the year; and it had come on so quickly, just seconds ago the storm clouds had not been an issue as the sun light had streamed down, bathing the streets below in a soft glorious bright light. In the distance the millenium bridge stood proudly over the thames river.

"Oh My -" fellow colleague, Clarissa Johnson exclaimed, as she clasped her hand over her mouth as the structure of the bridge gave out, and it tilted dangerously to the side, sending the people walking ontop clutching the sides for safety, as some lost their footing all together and were sent hurtling over the side and into the water below. Screams erupted almost instantly, as others tried their luck and ran in panic to get to safety before the bridge gave way all together. Right before his eyes, Dean watched as the bridge's support gave way and the walkway crashed down into the murky waters of the river below.

Another colleague, Matt Davids joined Dean at the window "That bridge was only a few years old," he commented "There is no way the structure just gave out like that!"

Dean nodded in agreement, although he had nothing to say upon the subject.

SCRIMGEOUR SUCCEEDS FUDGE

"Fudge steps down as Minister for Magic," Riley read, as she flipped the page of the Daily Prophet, that Jenn had been reading that morning when Riley, Charlie, Adrian and Marcus had turned up at her home to visit Nikki; the two older males were doing much better, Madam Pomfrey and Professor Snape had managed to clear up their wounds and after some rest Marcus's body had healed from the rounds of the torture curse in which he had to suffer. Nikki, meanwhile, was taking longer to recover and was finding it difficult to come to terms with the fact that she had been sexually abused; something that was making her marriage to Chad extremely difficult.

Charlie, who had been sitting beside Nikki, on the double bed looked up at her best friend "Seriously?" she asked "Is that what it says?"

"Well, it actually says that this new guy, Scrimgeour has succeeded Fudge," the Gryffindor answered "But its the same thing..." she shrugged offhandedly

"Read the whole thing," Charlie instructed "Out loud"

The Gryffindor sighed, rolled her eyes and folded the paper so she could read the story "Rufus Scrimgeour, previously Head of the Auror Office in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, has suceeded Cornelius Fudge as Minister for Magic. The appointment has largely been greeted with enthusiasm by the wizarding conmmunity, though rumours of a rift between the new Minister and Albus Dumbledore, newly reinstated Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, surfaced within hours of Scrimgeour taking office..."

Charlie quirked a curious eyebrow, as she thought of Dumbledore and the new Minister for Magic getting off on the wrong foot "Does it say what the arguement was about?" she asked

Riley quickly scanned the article and shook her head "Nope, it's just pointless dwindle after that"

"Anything else that is of worth reading?" Nikki asked, as she reached for a vial of purple potion on her bedside table. She had to take this specific potion every 2 hours to make sure that her internal wounds were healing nicely

"Um..." the Gryffindor trailed "Mnistry Guarantees Students Safety..." she read

Charlie scoffed "That could have been provided last year," she pointed out

The others nodded

"Anything else?" Charlie asked

"Other than that, there's an article about Harry, and then just several different ways to protect yourself and your family from Death Eater attacks," Riley finished, passing the paper to Charlie who instantly turned to the page on Harry. "Its about the prophecy that we lost last June..." she added

Charlie nodded "Yeah, their questioning whether Harry is the 'Chosen One' or not!" she shook her head "Good thing they don't know about me,"

Marcus, Adrian and Nikki frowned; they didnt know about Charlie and her Prophecy. And the young Slytherin wanted to keep it that way. At least for now.

HARRY POTTER: THE CHOSEN ONE?

Rumours continue to fly about the mysterious recent disturbance at the Ministry of Magic, during which He Who Must Not Be Named was sighted once more.

"We're not allowed to talk about it, don't ask me anything," said one agitated Obliviator, who refused to give his name as he left the Ministry last night.

Nevertheless, highly placed sources within the Ministry have confirmed that the disturbance centred on the fabeled Hall of Prophecy.

Though Ministry spokeswizard have hitherto refused even to confirm the existence of such a place, a growing number of the wizarding community believe that the Death Eaters now serving sentances in Azakban for trespess and attempted theft were attempting to steal a prophecy. The nature of that prohpecy is unknown, although speculation is rife that it concerns Harry Potter, the only person ever known to have survived the Killing Curse, and who is also known to have been at the Ministry on the night in question. Some are going as far as to call Potter the 'Chosen One', believing that the prophecy names him as the only one who will be able to rid us of He Who Must Not Be Named.

The curren whereabouts of the prophecy, if it exists, are unknown.

After reading the article, Charlie glanced up and exchanged looks with Riley...maybe it was a good thing that the whole Wizarding community didnt know about her? Maybe it was a good thing that they didnt know she was Serenity Riddle, and that there was a prophecy about her in the world claiming that she decided the fate of the Wizarding world, by choosing a side on which she wished to fight. The light side...or the dark side.

Just as the young Slytherin was contemplating the two prophecies that she had heard at the end of last year, the door to the bedroom opened and Madam Pomfrey shuffled in; she smiled pleasently at the friends "I am terribly sorry to interrupt," she told them, in a calm voice -different to the one she used at Hogwarts- "But I need to attend to Mrs. Young..."

Marcus, Adrian, Riley and Charlie took this as their cue to leave; as Marcus and Adrian pushed themselves off the wall and Riley slid off the bed, as Charlie turned to Nikki and smiled "Get some rest," she stated "I'll come see you later" she hugged her lightly, before sliding off the bed and following her friends from the room, as the door closed behind her the young Slytherin briefly heard Madam Pomfrey asking Nikki how she was feeling.

"So, now what?" Adrian asked, as he stood opposite Riley and Charlie on the landing of Jenn's home

Charlie turned in his direction "Well, im meeting with Jack, Nick and Josh if you want to come," she explained

"Who?" Marcus asked

"Jack, Nick and Josh," Charlie repeated "their friends of mine. I havent seen them much this summer, they've been visiting family in the states, well Nick and Josh have. Jack's been away at University, and he's home for this summer. We'll probably meet up with Jake and Greg later down by the lake"

The purebloods looked curious "Well, we've got nothing better to do"

"Cool," Riley grinned, before turning to Charlie "Jack should be home by now; shall we go there first?"

The young Slytherin nodded and led the way downstairs, meeting William at the bottom as he opened the front door and hurried into his home, followed closely by Melissa Sheen, his next door neighbour. "Where you off too?" he asked

"Jack's," Charlie answered, ruffling his hair "Catch you later, yeah?" she winked at him, and hurried out onto the street of Spinner's End. Jumping Jenn's wall she waved at Josh and Nick who appeared out of their house opposite, just as a black car swerved around the corner and pulled to a halt in front of them, the drivers side door opened and a tall, lean and muscular 20-year-old stepped out.

Jack Baker had returned home.

xXxHarryPotterxXx

"Bye Mum!" older twin Nick York shouted, over his shoulder as he pulled open the front door to his home at Spinner's End. It had been over 24 hours since he and his family had returned from the states where they had been visiting his grandparents in Washington D.C. but they were now even happier to be home in Spinner's End, where their friends actually resided.

Younger twin, by 2 minutes, Josh York, mimicked his brother's actions but calling out to his father instead. He then reached for the door and shoved his older brother out into the garden. The two brothers spotted Charlie and waved as she jumped over Jenn's wall to escape the garden as Riley and two unknown older boys followed her, one of them sliding his arm around their friends waist once he had reached her side once more. The twins exchanged curious looks, but before they could question the behaviour a familiar black car swerved around the corner and came to an halt in front of them.

"What? Don't I get an hello?" Jack Baker asked, as he climbed out of the car, and clasped hands with both twins as they reached the gate

Josh grinned "Good to see you, mate" he stated

"Yeah, great to have you back!" Nick agreed "Don't look now, but here comes Charlie" he added

Jack glanced over the roof of his car as Charlie pulled away form the guy who had his arm around her waist, and hurried across the road "Who are they?" he asked, motioning to Adrian and Marcus.

"Dont know," Nick shrugged "Im guessing the smaller of the two would be Marcus Flint..."

His brother and Jack gave him questionable looks.

"Charlie's boyfriend?" Nick questioned "You know, the guy she came home talking about two years ago? He used to go to the same boarding school as her, but he graduated year before last"

Jack and Josh nodded, as Charlie rounded the car and threw herself at the three of them "Your here!" she gushed "Your back! Oh, its good to see you!"

The three boys chuckled at the sixteen year old, it was great to be back when they were welcomed with such happiness like Charlie displayed. They may not have been close friends...but the SESG, were more like family that either of them cared to admit. They looked out for one another and protected each other and the kids of both Spinners End and River Terrace from the rich snobs from Clinton and bullies of the two streets on which they patrolled and protected.

"Its good to see you too," Josh grinned, after Charlie had pulled away and Riley, and the two boys joined them "All right Rils?" he asked

The Gryffindor nodded "Yeah," she smiled "Perfect. You?"

"Never better," Josh nodded

Jack eyed Adrian and Marcus with distaste, he could tell just by the look of them that they reminded him of the Clinton kids "And who are you?" he enquired, his tone level; but not necessarily inviting.

"Jack," Charlie spoke, her tone holding a warning tone "This is Adrian Pucey," she pointed at the former Chaser "and Marcus Flint," she smiled as Marcus pulled her into him. "Guys..." she glanced up at them "This is Jack Baker, and Nick and Josh York..."

Adrian raised his hand in hello "Nice to meet you," he said pleasently, despite his gaze hardening as it connected with Jack. "Charlie's told us quite a bit about you," he added

"Really?" Nick asked, glancing down at the only female in their little street gang "All good things I hope,"

Charlie grinned "What bad things can I say about you guys?" she asked her muggle friends, "How as University?" she asked Jack

"Its fun," Jack nodded "Kinda boring though, the guys there are nowhere as near as entertaining as you lot. Which is why I decided to come home this year; sort of missed Spinner's End..."

Riley frowned "Don't you mean you missed the fighting of Spinners End?"

"What's your point?" Jack asked, cracking a grin in her direction

The Gryffindor rolled her eyes and muttered something under her breath, that sounded awfully familiar to 'Boys...they will never change' Charlie cracked up at the statement.

"So...Marcus?" Jack spoke, addressing Charlie's boyfriend "How long are you and Adrian, staying?"

"No clue," Marcus answered "Our friend Nikki is here too. We had a spot of trouble at the beginning of the Summer, family feuds and everything. Staying with Charlie seemed to be the only place we could get away too..."

Charlie smiled up at him thankful for the cover-up, she hugged him though as she remembered why he and the others had to hide away in the Muggle world. "So, anyone heard from the others?" she asked, leaning into Marcus and turning to look at Josh, Nick and Jack "I know you've only just got back, but surely you've kept in contact with Greg and Jake..."

"Jake's in Manchester," Nick answered promptly "He's visiting his grandparents..."

Josh nodded "and Jake is away at Summer Camp," he explained "apparently his parents arent happy with his school work, he failed just about every exam he had this year. They decided to do something about it, and I guess that meant shipping him off away from Spinners End,"

"There's no wonder he failed," Riley inputted "You lot seem to think that street fighting his more important than summer homework"

"The Summer is time to relax!" Josh exclaimed "Not being doing homework! My personal opinion is we have enough school work and homework in term time, why burden us with it during the holidays too"

Charlie cracked a grin as Riley rolled her eyes "Oh, its good to be home..." she chuckled "...there's no better place to be, than right here at Spinner's End" she grinned.

Marcus and Adrian exchanged looks, but no comments.

xXxHarryPotterxXx

Later that evening, after Riley had headed home -her mother was home from work tonight- and Adrian was in the spare room of Snape's home. Charlie and Marcus sat on the double bed in which Marcus used while he stayed at Professor Snape's home. It had been confirmed earlier that day that Professor Snape so no reason why Adrian and Marcus couldnt stay with him for the summer, as long as they agreed to some ground rules. Both boys agreed making Charlie one very happy sixteen year old. The pair were, at this moment, discussing what Marcus knew about Voldemort and what had happened at Malfoy Manor leading up to the rescue.

"...so Draco or Nathan are being groomed as the next Death Eater, within his ranks?" Charlie asked, slightly startled at the news "But that can't happen! They can't..."

"They can," Marcus cut her off "and will, if Voldemort wants them too. I know Bellatrix will be more than agreeing for Nathan to join, she has devoted her whole life to him and his cause. Her son becoming a Death Eater will be acceptable in her book..."

Charlie swallowed hard "and Draco?" she asked

"Lucius and Narcissa, are...torn" he explained "They do not want to give the Dark Lord -"

"Voldemort" Charlie corrected

"- a reason to harm them or their son," Marcus finished, as if not hearing her correction

The Muggleborn Slytherin chewed her lower lip, as the rain outside lashed against the window heavily "This is strange," she mumured, glancing up "this is the second night for the weather to be bad. One would think in mid-August we'd have sun, not rain"

"Its the Death Eaters," Marcus answered "their presence is screwing up things in the atmosphere, too much magic."

Charlie frowned "That doesnt make sense," she pointed out

"Its hard to explain," he responded "Its sort of like how the temperature changes when Dementors are around"

Charlie nodded slowly as she processed what he had just said. She still didnt understand, but something told her she didnt want too. The silence in which had fallen around the two was sadly interrupted by a knocking of the door downstairs, and the opening of the bedroom door as Adrian crept inside. "Whats up?" Charlie asked, spotting the look on his face

"They are here," Adrian answered

Charlie frowned "Who?" she asked

"Keep your voice down, love" Marcus mumured, placing his hand over her mouth "We don't want to be heard"

"Heard by who?" Charlie asked

Adrian exchanged a look with Marcus, who nodded. The former chaser sighed "Bellatrix Lestrange and Carmen Malcolm" he answered.

Charlie froze at the two names. Bellatrix was the crazy witch who had killed Sirius Black back in June, but she was also the crazy mother of one of her best friends at school: Nathan. And the name Malcolm, made her blood run cold whenever it was mentioned anyway, it was the surname of the one person that Charlie had trusted before he turned against her after losing her to Marcus; Alex. Oh, not to mention his father Lucus, who had tried on many occasions to end her 'little miserable life' his words, not hers.

"Charlie!" Adrian hissed, as the young Slytherin slid off the bed and moved towards the door behind him "What are you doing?"

"Shh!" Charlie scolded "I want to know why they are here," she whispered, opening the door and creeping out onto the landing. She moved towards the top of the stairs and crept silently down them until she reached the door leading to the living room, where Snape and his 'guests' were sat talking. Crouching down outside the door, Charlie glanced up over her shoulder to see Marcus and Adrian glaring at her from the top of the stairs, she glared back and threw them a look that clearly read you-honestly-aren't-surprised-by-this-are-you? the two boys shook their heads and crept down the stairs, as they settled down somewhere around the middle of the stairs and strained to hear the conversation which was coming from the living room, through the small crack in the door.

"...The Dark Lord himself forbade me to speak of this," said an unfamiliar voice from the living room, it was female, and she sounded nervous.

Snape's voice sounded in response "If the Dark Lord has forgidden it, you ought not to speak" he stated "Put it down, Bella. We mustn't touch what isnt ours"

There was a small 'clunck' as something was set down onto a rather hard surface. Charlie frowned, wishing she could be inside the room without being seen I wish I had Harry's invisibility cloak right now she mentally wished

"As it so happens, I'm aware of your situation, Camen" Snape spoke again, his voice calm

"You?" the voice of Bellatrix Lestrange spoke "The Dark Lord told you?"

"Your cousin doubts me," Snape responded "Understandable. Over the years I've played my part well..."

Outside the door, Charlie frowned "...so well, I've decieved one of the greatest wizards of all time -"

Bellatrix snorted in boredem

"- Dumbledore is a great wizard," Snape added, angrily "Only a fool would question it"

"I don't doubt you, Severus," the first female, Carmen spoke once more

Bellatrix spoke once more, her voice louder, as if she was standing right next to the door "You should be honored, Carmen!" she stated "As should Alex...what I would give for Nathan to be in his position. But no, he had to go make friends with those mudbloods and disgrace our family name! But also put his own future in jeopardy..." she trailed off, and Charlie could imagine her shaking her head in shame "...the shame he has brought upon myself and his father!"

"One of those little 'mudbloods' as you so nicely put it," Snape spoke "happens to be the daughter of the Dark Lord. I suggest you watch your tongue, on how you speak of her"

A shadow fell across the door, and Charlie backed up slightly "That little brat does not deserve to call herself the Dark Princess!" Bellatrix sneered "She does not understand the power in which she possesses, she could be great! Instead she chooses to stand beside Mubloods and Blood traitors; and fight against the one man who could give her everything she could ever want!"

"Serenity has chosen her path," Snape responded "It not falls to Alex, to put a stop to it"

Carmen let out a small sob, as she looked anxious "He's just a boy," she whimpered "He doesnt understand the risks..."

"He understands well enough," Bella snarled "Alex is ready for this!"

Carmen glared at her cousin "You may be willing to put Nathan's life on the line," she snapped "But I will not loose my son, like I have lost my husband!"

Charlie glanced over her shoulder at Marcus and Adrian, a look on confusion painted on her face. What was this all about? What was such an honour that Alex should be pleased he had been chosen? Turning back to the door, the young Slytherin strained to hear the rest of the conversation.

"I can't change the Dark Lord's mind," Snape said

"I repeat!" Bellatrix growled "Alex should be proud! The Dark Lord is granting him a great honour. And I will say this for Alex: he isnt shrinking away from his duty, he seems glad of a chance to prove himself, excited at the proespect -"

Carmen began to cry in earnest "He isnt doing this for himself..." she cried "...he is doing his for her. The Dark Lord has promised him Serenity's hand in marriage, if he completes this task"

Outside the door, Marcus, Adrian and Charlie froze the slipped piece of information that Carmen Malcolm had just supplied them with.

"He only cares about her!" Carmen continued "Since is expulsion from Hogwarts, she is all he talks about! All he thinks about! Everything he does he devotes to her! I would call it an unhealthy obession he has with young Serenity, and I am not saying it would not be an honour if my son could marry her, but he will not complete this task!" she cried "Especially not when the Dark Lord himself -"

Bellatrix gasped.

Carmen seemed to lose her nerve "I mean...that nobody has yet succeeded...Severus...please..." she stuttered "Alex is returning to Hogwarts this year, under a different persona; please tell me you will help him! I beg of you..."

Snape did not seem pleased with this new piece of information; with Alex Malcolm back at Hogwarts it was only a matter of time before he tried something once more with Charlie. But he didnt allow this to show on his face, especially not with Bellatrix in the room.

Meanwhile, outside the room, Charlie was staring wide-eyed at the door; had she heard right? Alex Malcolm was returning to Hogwarts? But under a new name an identity oh, this cannot end well she groaned mentally, as the conversation inside the room continued.

"The Dark Lord will not be persuaded, and I am not stupid enough to attempt it," Snape said flatly "I cannot pretend that the Dark Lord is not angry with Lucus. Lucus was supposed to be in charge. He got himself captured, aong with many others, and failed to retrieve the prophecy into the bargin. Yes, the Dark Lord is angry, Carmen, very angry indeed"

Carmen's next words were drowned out by her tears, but it seemed Snape had understood her because once again he was speaking.

"He intends me to do it in the end," came Snape's next words "I think. But he is determined that Alex should try first. You see, in the unlikely event that Alex succeeds, I shall be able to remain at Hogwarts a little longer, fulfilling my useful role as spy"

"In other words it doesnt matter to him if Alex is killed!" Bellatrix snarled

"The Dark Lord is very angry," repeated Snape "He failed to hear the prophecy. You know as well as I do, Carmen, that he does not forgive easily"

There was a thump and muttering from inside the room.

"Carmen, that's enough!" Snape ordered "Drink this and listen to me!"

The muttering and sobbing inside the room ceased...

"It might be possible...for me to help Alex," Snape spoke "He will succeed in his orders; and this time next year, possibly be married to Serenity"

Charlie swore under her breath outside the room, there was in no way in heaven or hell was she marrying Alex Malcolm! Whether she wanted to be Serenity Riddle or not!

"Severus..." Carmen breathed

"Swear to it," Bellatrix spoke, her voice demanding. Silence followed the demand "Make the Unbreakable Vow"

If possible the atmosphere inside the room dropped drastically; Charlie frowned The Unbreakable what? she questioned herself, glancing back at Marcus and Adrian who had paled in comparison to their normal colour.

"The Unbreakable Vow?" Snape questioned

Charlie edged closer to the door and peered inside. Adrian and Marcus took a sharp intake of breath from behind, as the Muggleborn did this. Charlie rolled her eyes at their protective nature. Snape's face was blank, his eyes trained on the witch who was out of sight on the far corner of the room, Carmen -or the witch Charlie could guess was Carmen- was standing with her back towards the door.

"It's just empty words," Bellatrix smirked triumphantly, as she stepped forward "Arent you listening to him, Carmen? Oh, he'll try, he'll give it his best effort. But when it matters most he'll just slither back into his hole...Coward"

Snape glared at her, as she walked away. Charlie withdrew slightly as Bellatrix passed by the door. "Take out your wand!" the Potions master ordered

Bellatrix turned and stared slack jawed at the Potions master. Standing in the middle of the room, Snape and Carmen gasped hands, under Bellatrix's astionished gaze. Bellatrix stood between them, and pointed the tip of her wand at their linked hands, she spoke: "Will you Severus Snape watch over Alex Malcolm when he returns to Hogwarts to complete his final year, and attempts to fulfill the Dark Lord's wishes?"

"I will," Snape agreed

A thin tongue of brilliant flame issued from Bellatrix's wand and wound itse way around their hands like a red-hot wire.

"And will you, to the best of your ability protect him from harm?" Bellatrix asked

Snape stiffened slightly; if he agreed to that then there was nothing stopping Alex from causing harm to Charlie while at school. He would have agreed to protect him...as well as his goddaughter. But it was too late to turn back now, he had a job to do, and a promise to fulfill "I will," he agreed again

A second tongue of flame shot from the wand and interlinked with the first, making a fine, glowing chain.

"And if Alex should fail..." Bellatrix added "...will you yourself carry out the deed, the Dark Lord has ordered Alex to perform?"

Snape's hand twitched within Carmen's, but he didnt not draw back. The woman was staring unwavering at him, as her cousin stared up at him from his side. "I will," he confirmed

There was a moment's silence. Bellatrix watched, her wand upon their clasped hands, her eyes wide. Suddenly in a blaze of red, a third tongue of flame, shout out of her wand and twisted with the others around their hands, and bound itself thickly beside the other two, like a rope, like a firey snake.

Outside the door Charlie gasped, startling Bellatrix and Carmen inside the room.

"What was that?" Bellatrix demanded, her voice loud.

Startled Marcus and Adrian disappered with a faint crack, as Charlie jumped to her feet, sprinted into the kicthen and quickly snuck out of the back door into the garden. She quickly climbed the wall and lowered herself into the alley behind Snape's house, and sprinted down the length, across the street and in through her front door; seconds before Carmen appeared in the front garden of Snape's home, her eyes snapping to across the street as the door to number 4 closed with a snap.

She's here she thought, smirking darkly he's been hiding her here...for all these years!

A/N: Another chapter. Tell me what you think...as many of you didnt want Alex to return, he needs to, because im simply cannot think of a way to turn Draco and Nathan against Charlie.

Question time:

Should Marcus return to Hogwarts (not as a student) or should he remain at Spinner's End with Adrian and Nikki, while Charlie goes back to school?

Review and answers (please)
